Astrocast – Brief for May, 2013

This May Astrocast will be brief so please refer to the lengthier three month forecast from last month. May is a rocking and rolling month so stay on top of your ‘game’ and show the world what you are made of. The Solar Eclipse on May 9th will be a special type of New Moon and will cause the Moon to cast a shadow on the Sun in Taurus as the Eclipse will be at 19 degrees of Taurus. It overshadows the next Lunar Eclipse on April 25th so these short statements for each of the signs are based on the solar houses where your signs exist. There are also scientists that are predicting a heavy Solar Storm occurrence which will add to the energies that exist during this important month of May! Remember to read your Ascendant (Rising Sign) first, your Moon Sign secondly, and your Sun Sign last. If you need a Solar Chart done for this year, I am now doing a special for those born in May or June. This is a month by month report for the existing Solar Year.

Aries – Some needed changes in money matters will take place and you will find needed relief if you start saving and become more positive in your attitude towards finances. You will have to put your worries on the shelf or you will prevent the new job from coming your way!

Taurus – You might have some very sudden realizations or shocks that come toward you in May, your birth month. They will cause you to sit up and take notice. Money will be either coming in liberally or will be going out in areas where you have avoided paying attention. Either way it will set you on a new course.

Gemini – Gemini will be forced to look at health issues during this Eclipse cycle and will not be able to ignore the disciplines needed to improve health and wellness. A most resistant sign when having to deal with slowing down and taking notice!

Cancer – Cancer’s hopes and dreams may be in the wings waiting to be realized. This is the time when you need to listen to friends and especially those who unconditionally support you no matter what. It is not a time to hang back and wait for opportunities to come to you. Act now!

Leo – There are some career moves that will surprise you keeping you focused on your advancement into a new arena. Be open, not ‘fixed’, to new ideas and opportunities that will later define your career life and life of authority in the near future. An important move into a new and better ‘space’ will help this to happen.

Virgo – There might be a long distance relationship with a publisher, a ‘dream, come true’, or a trip that will change your life coming soon. In any of these events, it is important to keep your eye on the bouncing ball and take this opportunity to advance yourself in spirit, body and mind.

Libra – Your partner is asking you to take on more financial responsibility. Be sure to weigh the pros and cons of this move and equalize out all the partnership arrangements. This could be in a marriage, business or significant other type of relationship, and if so, pay attention to the dotted line!

Scorpio – You are making life time commitments at this important Eclipse pattern which is in your solar 7thhouse of partnerships. No matter what your commitment is, it is for a lifetime and in your best interest to pay attention and be honest with yourself and your partner. This will guarantee a great future in any event!

Sagittarius – Finding a way to give yourself sacred space to keep your boundaries intact. This Eclipse pattern is in your Solar 6th house and has to do with keeping your routines and disciplines without excuses and rationalizations. You will find that when this is not being done, your health suffers in ways that are very annoying!

Capricorn – You might find love and romance in this Eclipse Cycle and if so, you need to grab it while you can and hold on for dear life! Your creative ability is at a maximum and your energy attracts others to you. Be selective and passionate about what you are doing so that it is reflected in the success that follows!

Aquarius – There are many issues around your home life that need tweaking and that calls for some important plans to take place. This will help you keep your home a place of retreat and relaxation, not to mention security and stability. Be sure that electricity and gas are updated so you have no big surprises.

Pisces – Siblings may give you quite the shock these days or even your best friends who you consider to be like ‘family’. Be aware of the way you are communicating your intuition now as you are highly intuitive and connected to your Spirit Guides in ways you are able to help heal others. You will be called on in your dreams and in that which you channel energy, so be aware!

Second Quarter Astrocast – April, May & June, 2013

By admin Leave a Comment

We are definitely going through shifts and awakenings in our consciousness, hopefully not ignoring the signs in our individual lives to ‘wake up and smell the roses’. Not being awake and alert to changes we need to make within ourselves will find us aching and somewhat in pain, both physically and mentally. So pay attention everyone…find your spiritual connection, meaning get in touch with what your ‘soul purpose’ on this planet is.

Remember your Solar Return Chart, Birthday Chart, for the months, April, May and June and know that these are a month by month approach, given at a reduced cost to those who want them.

I will give you a brief explanation for each sign from April 1st to June 30th so you can get an idea of challenges ahead! Remember to look to your Ascendant sign first, your Moon sign secondly and then your Sun sign to get a more accurate ‘hit’ on what is going on in your personal horoscope. If you have questions as to how your chart manifests itself in your life, you can always get in touch at 210.393.5349. I am here to help you figure this stuff out so don’t be shy!

Some highlights (what I think are most important) to be watching for during this three month cycle, April through June 2013, are the following:

Partial Lunar Eclipse on April 25th in the sign of Scorpio.
Annual Solar Eclipse on May 9th in the sign of Taurus.
Saturn continues its two + year transit through Scorpio with the help of the North Node in Scorpio, emphasizing its path.
Pluto takes a retrograde motion in Capricorn on the 12th of April and remains there until September the 20th.
Chiron joins Neptune traveling through the early degrees of Pisces, adding more healing energy and dream channeling to this very sensitive sign. Neptune turns retrograde on the 7th of June and will go direct on the 13th of November, moving back to the beginning of the sign of Pisces, creating some opportunity to reconnect to spiritual awakenings.
Uranus, the planet of immense change stays in direct motion in Aries and feels like a major roller coaster ride to both Aries and Libra, its opposite sign.
Jupiter makes its transit through Gemini and enters Cancer the end of June, some think this is beneficial…I see it as too much of a good thing often and not handled wisely.
Always remember when something affects Taurus and Scorpio, there are residual effects on Leo and Aquarius. When Pisces is affected so are Virgo, Sagittarius and Gemini. When Aries and Capricorn are affected, so are Libra and Cancer. No one gets off the hook here!

As always we must keep up with the New Moons, starting new projects and the Full Moons, finishing off endeavors that need releasing. It is best to follow an almanac of some kind as the Moon waxes and wanes and changes moods depending on your relationship to it. The daily horoscopes you read in the paper or online pay close attention to these cycles. You might want to buy an inexpensive Astrological calendar to keep up daily with the activity in the heavens!

Aries ~ is struggling with the changes in relationships, in their own uncertainty about the ‘life path’ they are on, not to mention the money they have lost or misspent in the process. New loves may have come into the life with great gusto reminding them that the ‘love of their life’ last year may not be everything they thought he/she was. It is time to clean out all the cobwebs of your thinking and get a move on to find out what your response abilities are in serving the greater master, your soul’s path. The way you know you are on the right path or not is the way your body feels, your energy levels and the pain you feel either in your head or your knees. Don’t try to minimize this with pain killers as these pains will only reappear, having destroyed your abilities to manage your life in a way that is pain free. Try to consider what others feel when they are with you and see you speeding along like a freight train without a plan of action. You always think your way is the ‘right way’ however it might be the ‘hardest and least reflective way’ for you to live. Try to step into some other persons shoes for a while, someone who has been trying to communicate with you and see how that person really feels about who and what you are. Only trust those who know you well or the closest family member to you and you will probably get an honest accounting. Home and career need to have your full attention now, equally so! You might be wise to put more value in your home or invest in a place to be in your own ‘sacred space’. You need reflective time now more than ever before as you bungee jump through life. May Solar Eclipse may provide you a further glimpse of your money and investments. Think and spend wisely during this time.

Taurus ~ is really having a struggle with how they want to relate to the intimate other, struggle about being alone, being possessive, understanding their finances in regards to what they produce in comparison to the partner, one being better than the other or resentment toward the partner for not really earning more! You need to spend more time defining your ‘needs’ from your ‘wants’, these are widely divided in your psyche at this time so it is important to figure out some of your inner drives and the psychic world that is pushing you to do what you are doing or in your case, ‘not doing’. It is time to see what habits have driven you, what addictions or compulsions are still driving you. These don’t have to be food, drink or drugs as much as they are addictive thinking habits. It is time to consider the medical issues that you have been putting off for so long. Many of your problems have moved into the physical and caused some degree of pain which represents long time emotional pain, probably from childhood that keeps acting upon your psyche. It might be a good time to consider telling your story to someone who you trust, to work out those things that keep you ‘down’. Procrastination is still holding you back in some regards. Find a good Virgo to help you work out the kinks in your life as they will tell you the truth, more than you ever wanted to know, but hey! You are a divine being and deserve to live in that higher spiritual realm. It will serve you well. Quit putting the blame on partners and own your part in the daily drama!

Gemini ~ You have been on a roll lately with Jupiter visiting your sign and soon Mr. Jupiter will be visiting your solar 2nd house which means you probably have made quite a bit of money lately and soon it will be time to spend that money on investments….please no ‘shopping’ and letting this flow through your fingers. So for the next several months pay close attention to saving, to investing wisely and finding solace in the fact that the whirlwind is over….you may still be traveling but not as much, so take a breather and let the good times roll at home for a change. Since Jupiter will move into Cancer, real estate investments or redoing property, fixing things up to sell may be a focus. Health issues are something you like to ignore as you are mostly in good health with good energy to support that healthy life style, however ‘allergies’ may be a focus for you which seem to be bothering you as much as someone’s depleted condition bothers them; just remember these are only allergies, nothing more and can be handled with the right diet and environment. Your craving for sweets is sometimes the lack of affection coming from a partner, or ‘oops’ it might be your lack of ‘receiving affection’ that is putting you off your game. Allow the love and affection into your life and relax into it rather than find ways to stave off that warmth and openness. Sometimes it is the only communication that is necessary to mend a relationship rather than talking it to death. Talk to your children or grown adult children at this to get some excellent feedback on the issues you face. Now is the time to really trust those closest to you.

Cancer ~ Cancers are redefining themselves in the world of change, home, family, career, environment; you name it! Your partner needs to be one of like mind and can see the forest and the trees so that you can both plan a future together that is warm, safe, loving and fraught with welcome change rather than change that brings on fear and insecurity. You have been doing some work on the spiritual plane and now it is time to make your daily routine more sacred and spiritually aligned with your changing values. You might be having very important dreams that need to be in a journal, some may be pointing the way to a different way of life that what you are use to and may guide you in a direction that could enhance more passion in your life. Some new ideas, maybe even in the area of writing, publishing and exposing the incredible thoughts you have been having could be combined into your next big changes in this life, especially these three months before your birthday. You may be concerned about your oldest child and that has taken up some of your time. The things you want and desire for this child are also the things that you want and desire for yourself, so maybe this is all bound up in your creativity. You will look back on these changes you are going through in a couple of years and find that this has been a remarkable time for you. Now! About the person you are living with. Is he or she depressed and difficult to live with? If so, be sure you are not taking the blame for this and get some professional help for them or yourself so that you can live your life to the fullest and are not dragged down by the partner. There are many things we can do for each other but unfortunately, none of those things means you take on the burdens of that person’s emotional imprisonment. You are a nurturing loving soul, but you are not here to be a ‘savior’…only to learn unconditional love and ‘letting go’.

Leo ~ Wow, Leos have more energy to do extra activities, now more than ever before. Stop trying to prove your worth and who you are to those around you; as you become more and more obsessive about working this all out, these problems of humanity…you are not in charge of this, you can only keep affirming positive energy and hopefully it will find the right ears to listen and the right heart to accept. Many Leos find it hard to be ‘alone’ without being lonely. Now is a time find your ‘truth’ in your ‘alone time’, sacred time. You came here to make monumental changes in others and more importantly in yourself. You cannot effect change in others if that change has not occurred in your psyche, at a permanent level. This would be a good time to learn some meditative ways to find guidance and to recalibrate that system of yours to work on good health and spiritual connection. Your spiritual connection will only last as long as you take care of the ‘temple’ that God gave you to work with; your body! Watch for addictions and issues around health that will bring you down and track these conditions not only physically but finding their emotional equivalents. Your past pains may be catching up with you in the area of the physical. Wait for the people you deserve to have in your life, seek you out….you don’t need to be in search of them, just be the ‘cat’ you are and keep a watchful and ‘waiting eye’ out for the persons you deserve to have in your life, those who give as much as you give in areas of life that are in need of tweaking. You will find more peace in our life if you stay at home and make that a sacred space where you can meditate and be who you are!

Virgo ~ Virgos are finding that partnership is unpredictable and challenging and has a Neptunian quality about it. Read up on the changes the Pisces are going through and you will see what to expect of the ‘significant other’ in your life; probably need to keep those expectations at bay! Health issues may abound with you because you are not following the right foods and dietary conditions, however if you are, then these will not be an issue for you. Your immune system is as confused as your partnership realm. So make sure that you are not having some kind of war going on inside your body due to your own improper boundaries. Boundaries are equated to the immune system in every way and Virgo’s who are natural ‘worry warts’ will find every way to keep from serving themselves, so that they can be in some other person’s service. Is that you? If not, don’t worry about it, just do something for yourself every day that feels right in your gut! Transportation and communication has become a problem lately so only depend on that which is ‘dependable’ and don’t take many risks now in those two departments. Siblings are also going through their problem areas and you are not getting along as well as you should with them, so maybe it is time to leave them to their own devices and keep yourself from joining in their pain or confusion. You seem to put yourself in a quandary as if you could do something about everyone and fix them according to your own needs. Please don’t! You will only get worked up about it and then have your incredibly sensitive digestive system in a real mess! You are in a creative time of your life, so create out of your own understanding of ‘you’…not someone else’s. Finances are equally unpredictable in your life now and will change for the good if you just quit obsessing about them. Find something you really enjoy doing and do it for yourself and with that, you will find money flowing. Find some good affirmations for you and stick with affirming yourself in every regard. My suggestion is to pick up some Marianne Williamson material and go for it!

Libra ~ Libra is making all kinds of changes, career, home, family, and relationships, not to mention money matters… The great thing about a Libra is they can see both sides of a coin and can adjust their lives accordingly to handle the ups and downs. If you live with a Libra, this might be hard to realize, however when they go silent is when they are doing a balancing act bar none. Worries about finances do not help matters at all, but this is just a trend and it will move into a more abundant time after June. Good news may come about at that time to lift some of the depression off of the Libran shoulders. Some good news about a career change will come about in the summer as well, but it is a ‘must’ that you tune into what you really want and not what you think you ‘need’. Your investments pay off and will find a way making your check book and your savings account balance with some new figures! It is time to tweak your diet and pay attention to exercise and health. You have been avoiding this with all kinds of excuses and procrastination reasons, however the lack of energy on your part is also related to the lack of success in your finances and career moves. You might want to talk to someone who might help you in this and express some of your more deeply felt concerns. This will all work out but it won’t if you keep it all to yourself. You have many good years ahead of you so don’t let this bump in the road get you down!

Scorpio ~ Have you noticed your other Scorpio friends being more quiet and reserved than in the past; this is because they are up against their own intensity at this point and have faced the daemons head on. Their lives are being readjusted and if you are a ‘Scorpio’, you know what I mean and how much time it has taken for you to adjust to your own fears, ambitions and readjust your goals and communication so that others are not put off by what you are going through. This is a time to dig in and make things right, including all of the things of the past which you have let slide without paying close attention to your responsibilities in all of this. Mostly it is your projections on partners, both in marriage and in business. Now it time for you to see what you need to do and make things right. It will seem like others don’t understand you, but look at it this way, ‘do you understand you?’. How can other understand you if you can’t even make sense of what is going on? If you have had problems with addictions, especially drugs or alcohol then now is the time to ‘clean up’ and address these issues so that they don’t become monumental circumstances that you can no longer ‘fix’. Scorpios are some of the strongest people on the planet and don’t let them fool you. They know what is up and they can hide their most vulnerable sides, however when they are out stinging with their words and behaviors then they are in their most vulnerable and depressed state. They are letting fear run the system. How many Scorpios do you know who will tell you they are living in fear? None I bet! You need to reach into your bag of tricks and believe in your higher self, to follow your spiritual path in a way that models your behavior to others with integrity and sense of purpose. Watch how your Taurus opposite always gets their situations handled come hell or high water and now, it is time for you to do the same. Claim your fame and fortune in the next several months by trying honesty and integrity as guideposts. It will work out, believe me. Situations will turn around in May for the good but only if you own up to your response-abilities!

Sagittarius ~ Sagittarians have great capacity to gain spiritual momentum during this time. The next year, beginning these next few months, will be very promising for making money and publishing if the motives are pure and simple. Be careful not to waste your energy on something that you have not really planned out carefully. Your fire will burn brightly the next few months with idea after idea coming to you. It is best to find a very grounded person with whom to share these ideas so you can put them in order and get the most out of your ‘creative fire’. Earthy people, (with much earth in their natal charts) will tend to bring everything down to reality and if they don’t stop you in your tracks, they will at least organize you to be efficient and not spend as much time in the ‘ideal world’. If you are publishing, then your works will definitely bring forth a claim to fame, but if not, you have other irons in the fire which can do the same. Your children can also be an inspiration to you during this time and may turn your head in a different direction if not, giving you a new perspective on life. Pay attention and listen closely to what these wise kids of the future have to say. Your home needs to be filled with sacred spaces where you can meditate and be close to your ‘soul purpose’, so keep blessing that space and find some ways to feng shui your home into a more conducive and peaceful place to be for all concerned. More than ever, your home and your physical self represent how spiritually evolved you are and all will bring you great joy if you have reverence for this process. Your health might have some ups and downs as your body tries to burn out toxins so take care to be on the right diet for yourself and especially watch for yeast imbalances. Stay with alkaline foods during this time as much as you can. As I have said before to you, take care of your boundaries in a way that shows you have high regard for yourself in the mix of people you attract.

Capricorn ~ You Capricorns are rolling with the punches for sure and seem to have built a strength like no other along the way, many thanks to Pluto in your natal Sun Sign. You might have seen some friends go by the way side because of their inability to handle planetary energies of late, however you have made it in a big way and are continuing to keep your nose to the grindstone. Don’t let up on trying to tweak your diet and find a way to make your body healthy as it has had much stress and will need to totally recalibrate itself for the coming successful years ahead. You have spent time or ‘should be spending time’ cleaning out those closets, both physically and mentally, making sure you are not hoarding something that needs to be let go of; this will provide for new doors to open and new successes to be gained if you are really taking an inventory of your inner and outer closets. You might rely on friends that have been with you from childhood, if not your own siblings to help along the way. Some of your other friends have gone and will not be showing up especially to help. Have you noticed? Your creativity will be at a peak in the next few months and you will move forward with even more creative spirit. This is also lived out by your own children so watch what they are doing and follow suit if you are dragging your heels. You have great healing energies flowing through your body, but in no way should you spend that energy on someone who is not grateful or who cannot learn from what you are giving. Move on and find your niche…don’t struggle, because the struggle itself will dissipate the energy and you will find yourself tired and worn out. It is a time when you can realize your goals and aspirations in a new way, a new perspective. Be sure to keep a private journal during this time as it will help you figure out your future and your mistakes of the past. Pay close attention to any dreams that come through right now as they will guide you in a way that will fuel your desires to be the ‘best at what you do’.

Aquarius ~ Aquarians are becoming more grounded, especially if they are paying attention to home, health, environment and that of the friends they attract. If ever there was a Sun Sign that could be analyzed according to the friends one has, this is the main one; Aquarius! Money comes and goes in big lump sums, so when the money is coming in, save it for when the money is going out! You might be noticing problems with your communications and transportations and it is wise not to react so quickly, making mistakes or having accidents. Be sure to check out what is being heard from you, listen to what others might have to offer and also take good care of your car and its mechanical devices so that you are safe when driving or riding in a car. Your home should be a solace for you these days and be filled with organization and good clean energy so that you can see what you are accomplishing. This means to clean up those stacks of ‘needed items’ all over your home and make it represent external organization so it will go into your internal organization and keep you well. Drinking lots of fluids to enhance your circulation is a must! Watching the carbohydrates you take into your body will also eventually help you with your circulation. Your body might deplete in both electrolytes and Vitamin B during your busy days so keep those foods around you that enhance and build your stamina. If not, you will feel sluggish and won’t be prepared to get that brain recalibrated for success. You might be also starting to rethink your career or at least figure out how you can make the most of your profession. You have to be doing something you are passionate about, but you also need to make money. What is a great situation is to be doing both! If that is not the venue of the day, then you will have to make money on the side and also do what you are driven instinctively to do to find your passion. Good luck to you as you are a special sign and seem to have all the luck at the end of the day!

Pisces ~ Pisces is really having a time of it as you might notice if you have other friends who are Pisces or who have a stellium in Pisces. Their healing energy, not to mention their psychic energy is at a ‘max’ so they are in the ‘zone’ for sure! If you, as a Pisces, feel and instinctively are in touch with something, then you are usually correct. Your energies around relationships may be somewhat confusing, especially to the one with whom you are in a significant relationship. You need to explain that you need time alone and sacred space to meditate and just relax your energies for the day so that you can be in your ‘groove’. This really has nothing to do with the person with whom you are relating and it has everything to do with your own special kinds of healing energies. When you are being careful with yourself, good diet, lots of peaceful exercise, i.e. yoga, swimming, then you are really capable of many things that are helpful in the long run. Now is not the time to stress your spine or your feet by doing aerobics that are too fast in the movement as your brain really cannot take that much at this point. You will find your dreams and creative imagination are getting your through the days ahead so be sure and take these things to heart and know that you are building a permanent successful body, mind and soul for the future. Neptune and Chiron are passing through your sign and both of them emphasize healing of spirit and body…whatever that means in your life. It would be nice for you to just enjoy the theater, the movies, dance, music, whatever can get your mind to relax and meditate into another drama other than your own. How about that? Be careful with friends and make sure that your boundaries are in place and you are not out saving the world! The true friends will stay loyal, the others will go their own way. Just be sure you aren’t part of their drama!

Astrocast – Brief for March, 2013

By admin 2 Comments

©Anthony Walsh

This month will seem like an inundation of the element of ‘water’, signifying feeling, dreams, empathy, and illusions. The Mercury retrograde in Pisces will cause a few problems, but it will only be the typical confusion that most Mercury Rx times signify. The New Moon in Pisces is near the 11th of March and will bring new insights and attention to your dreams for further clarification. Some of you could be having some significant changes that are leading you into other relationships, careers or health issues. Stay in touch!

If you wish to have a consultation, please email me at gwynne@gwynnemayer.com. As of January, I started doing specials for the birthday months, in the form of Solar Charts. So if you have a birthday in March, April or May, please contact. A solar chart gives the years forecast in advance and is quite interesting; built off of your natal chart. A forty-five page explanation for your birthday year 2013-2014 will accompany the private consultation. I encourage you to read your Ascendant first, Moon second and Sun last when reading any horoscope. These are ‘shorts’ to remember!

Aries – Changes in the way you plan your finances, especially if you are married and/or comingling money with someone else, could affect your future in a big way so plan carefully and with great forethought.

Taurus – Some health issues are coming up that need to be taken care of, so do it! Do not waste time deliberating as these have been longstanding and need immediate attention or you will have some chronic issues in the future.

Gemini – Situations have proven worthy of your attention and your focus is key in understanding the stability of the very near future. You want to look ‘reality’ in the face and not get distracted by anything or anyone.

Cancer - You are finding new avenues, new adventures and possibly new careers no matter how old you are. It is time to move forward, maybe even retrain yourself and look at other possibilities. Cancers don’t move swiftly, especially if it is relocation. Just do it!

Leo - There may be money and romance moving around in your psyche to the extent it takes your every thought to stay focused on one foot in front of another. You are becoming more enlightened each day and your magnetic personality makes a difference!

Virgo – Virgo is on a roller coaster, one day being high, the next being low, but the images you want to give yourself are ones of prosperity and affirmation. You might want to surround yourself with positive energy instead of some of the naysayers you seem drawn to.

Libra – Shifts in the home are occurring and you seem to have a handle on what is happening in that sector of your chart. Your partner(s) may be going through changes that you don’t understand, but that will only be for awhile. Hold sacred space for their return back to normality.

Scorpio – Scorpios are learning that the word ‘boundary’ is applicable in every part of their lives and it isn’t easy for them to work with this as they are often a mirror for others of ‘defending the privacy and sacred space’. You are on a great learning curve here Scorpio.

Sagittarius – This is a time when money flows erratically and spontaneously. Say YES! Many opportunities are beginning to take shape and it is time to be ‘solid’ in your decision making. It is your call, all of it! How do you want to proceed?

Capricorn – Capricorns are feeling into their dreams and their imagination to enhance their lives in ways that have not been possible before. These dreams can fuel your future in a way that allows you more freedom of creativity and purpose, so keep your dream journals as a map for the future.

Aquarius – Money is sitting on your doorstep, waiting for you to open the door and receive it, which brings up a need for focus, planning, affirmation and a grounded outlook. Get your head out of the cosmos ever so often so you can envision your current reality. It might help!

Pisces – Oh my! You guys have a great deal of energy on your plate right now…take small bites and make your life about ‘manifestation’. You can use all of your magnificent energy toward healing self and the planet…get into our own healing energy and move forward!

Developing your Inner Shaman

By admin Leave a Comment

Shamanism is a practice of intense healing. We will discuss in this lesson how Shamanism is used today, the power and misuse of power that it brings to the forefront, the personal steps in the shamanic journey, the need for grounding of shamanic energy as it comes up in our daily lives, dream work and application of shamanic knowledge through dream retrieval, the work of the underworld and upper world…and all of this leading to our healing through our personal journey. The homework involved in this work is personal in nature, and should only be shared, if indeed you chose to share it, with a partner or me.

Shamanism is an experiential practice; knowledge of spirits and other worlds stems from shamans who journey thither; it cannot be fully comprehended or annotated by theoretical anthropologists, only by those who experience this for themselves. Shamanism is rapidly becoming the most overused and misappropriated word of the late twentieth century. Too many people read a book, attend a workshop and become ‘instant shamans’, or else rework their therapeutic training and add the word “Shamanic”, in the hope that this will align their work with the current fashion. We lose context when we start trying to water down the true meaning of Shamanism.

Shamanism isn’t a therapy, although it may have a therapeutic effect. Psychotherapists of many kinds may wish to append the role of shaman to their list of skills but, although analysts may study client’s dreams and visions, they do not act as shamans, since they do not accompany clients on journeys or journey on their behalf. THIS IS THE WHOLE POINT OF SHAMANISM….THE TRAVELING INTO THE SPIRIT WORLD…WITH OR FOR THE PERSON BEING HEALED….In my personal work, I use the planets to connect me to the spiritual universe, therefore making my journey meaningful and giving me some form of communication technique to bring back. I have experienced this leaving of the body and connecting to planetary energies since I was 29 years old…and I am now in my 70th year…and I cannot, with all honesty, say that the journey can be made totally at will and with full consciousness…I tend to still space out and need grounding.

IMPORTANT: This is for information only and the practices of Shamans. I am not training you to be a shaman. You are getting information so that you can be aware of all the metaphysical healing techniques that exist in our world today. It can be very dangerous to try to train yourself or be trained to be a Shaman. You will find that reading some of this material will be beneficial to you. As Chopra, Kubler Ross, Louise Hay, all practice their healing with the knowledge that they often will succumb to the same illnesses as they are trying to heal…because they are not able to clear the body to perfection.

When Spirit calls us, it totally changes our lives. In past eras, many people have received the help of a shaman but few wished to become one. When the call to become a shaman arises, it is often severely resisted; eventually the candidate submits since resistance becomes life threatening. This seemingly coercive spiritual call should be regarded in the same light as that of an artist who says, ‘I must create or die!’ spiritual conversion works along the same lines. We can look at the example of St. Paul who converted from a Christian-hating Jew to the primary missionary of early Christianity. He heard the voice of God on the Damascus road was stricken blind and lay immobile for three days; he could only be healed when he acknowledged the will of God…In exchange for his healing he had to dedicate his whole life to Spirit.

If we ignore Spirit, we immediately become imbalanced and lose touch with reality. We fall into disease, separation and disharmony. To reconnect with reality, wholeness and harmony we must acknowledge the Spirit of all things. This does not mean becoming a strict religious believer, necessarily, although it might do, but involves recognition that Spirit is reality and the willingness to inhabit that reality.

People at this time are seeking to restore their own spiritual authority. Rather than believing in just one story about spirit and making that their personal myth or ‘story to live by’, they seek their own spiritual connection. Humans hunger for structure and absolutes in which to put their spiritual philosophy…there is none…that will suffice to fulfill that which belongs only to YOU….

Shaman Power and the Misuse of Power

Shamans believe and work with the power of Spirit, which sustains, changes and flows through all thins. This power of Spirit is the vital energy of the universe, it is life. Shamans bring life by reconnecting the broken links of power.

Like Spirit, the word ‘power’ has problematic associations in our language. It bears the connotation of ‘authority’, usually of the dictatorial or censorious kind. I am talking about the power of life, the vital energy of Sprit which runs through all. At no point am I talking about power as a mode of violence or tyranny.

In the Amazonian culture of the Desana Indians it is believed that the quantity of energy or power is fixed and that ‘man must remove what he needs only under certain conditions and must convert this particle of ‘borrowed’ energy in a form that can be reincorporated into the circuit’. By manipulating power, our society has lost its spiritual authenticity and we have cut ourselves off from the reciprocal circuit of Spirit and power. It is no wonder we are spiritually gasping for breath.

Power flows through all of us. It does not belong to us, but is vitality common to all. It comes into us, passes through our being and moves on again. It is always entering and leaving us, like our breath. To speak of possessing power is as ridiculous as owning the air in our lungs. When the pathways of the SPIRIT are blocked, then power cannot flow. Those who have kept the pathways open are often feared by those who have not: the latter consequently often harbor jealousy of any creative skill.

The cosmic web which connects all life as a universal source…is like an electrical grid: each part of it hums with power. Wherever disconnection’s and blockages occur, the power cannot flow. No single being distributes this power: all beings are responsible for keeping it flowing. We each share in it in the same way that everyone swimming in the sea of this power shares in the water: some bodies displace more water than others. It is not apportioned equally, but is available to all.

Those who are spiritually aware are generally perceived to be powerful in the sense of being livelier, more integrated and less unbalanced than others; they may achieve more in a shorter time, be more open to ideas and therefore more resourceful. Being a powerful person does not make you stronger, healthier and most successful than others. This is very important to remember. The more pathways we walk through the worlds, the more power-cables connect us. But to whom more is given, more is required.

Many are drawn to shamanism because it seems to offer them instant empowerment. By walking between the worlds we indeed may enhance our vitality and power, but this is only and incidental effect, that shamanism is not therapy, that a deeper commitment and responsibility are required.

Like Spirit, power is non-dual; it is itself, but it can be misplaced. The shaman’s duty is to reconnect and restore broken power-lines, as well as to remove and re-circuit in appropriate accumulations of power. Such work is not done indiscriminately or without recourse to the cosmic web of power which connects all things. The circumstances surrounding any shamanic action are first investigated in both physical and subtle reality to discover whether a course of action is appropriate.

It is only by consulting the whole universe though the networks of Spirit and power that healing connections can be reestablished. Wherever one part of the cosmic web is healed, power is restored to the whole web, benefiting all.

Shamanic Healing

Jean Achterberg, author of Woman as Healer says that healing is remembering what has been forgotten about connection, and unity and interdependence among all things living and non-living. And she also said in the book, “Soul loss is regarded as the gravest diagnosis in shamanism, being seen as a cause of illness and death. Yet it is not referred to at all in modern Western medical books. It is becoming increasingly clear that what the shaman refers to as soul loss– that is injury to the inviolate core that is the essence of the person’s being–does manifest in despair, immunological damage, cancer, and a host of other very serious disorders. It seems to follow the demise of relationships with loved ones, career, or other significant attachments.”

Our society has associated illness with physical ailments, however, illness occurs at all levels of the psyche and cannot affect one part of the being without affecting other parts. Shamanism has been preserved down the ages because of its ability to provide healing, reconnection and restoration of the physical connected to Spirit. Sometimes the shaman will effect the healing with the aid of her spirits alone, and sometimes with the help of an herbalist. Minor ailments are generally treated in non-shamanic practical ways amongst our population.

With the improvement in health-care throughout the world, the primary function of shamans today generally is to look after the spiritual and subtle reality aspects of healing. In our western society they heal and cure physical ailments by marshalling the emotional and visual triggers in the brain to mobilize the body’s natural immune system to cure illnesses.

Shamanism is not therapy, nor can it be treated like it. By rectifying one imbalance, shamanism brings healing to the whole cosmic web, so that universal, not personal, healing is accomplished. Therapy does not address subtle reality in this way. In addition, shamanic healing is normally accomplished at one time, or over very few sessions: therapy often takes many sessions over many months. Therapy may sometimes be required after shamanic healing in the case of long-established dysfunctions, originating from ABUSIVE BACKGROUNDS…

The qualifications for healing under the principles of Shamanism are:

A shared world-view that makes the diagnosis and naming process possible…being knowledgeable about the realistic professionalism of doctors, psychotherapists, and holistic healers.
Positive personal qualities of the healer that facilitate the client’s recovery. (This is very important…if you as a healer are not positive and do not have a decent concept of SELF, you do not need to be healing others.)
Be knowledgeable about the client expectations of recovery that assist the healing processes.
Specific techniques, material and healing procedures and ethics that is appropriate to the illness and conducive to recovery.

Our part in the healing process is primarily a wish to be well and a willingness to cooperate with our allies to effect such a healing. We should not forget that healing can only take place if the subject wishes it. Surprisingly, some people actively retain illness and energy blockages, usually because it is more convenient or familiar to live in this way; illness can be worn as a badge of care or recognition, energy blockage can be a way of maintaining a selfish dictatorial regime whereby family and friends are subtly manipulated to provide the easiest life style. Imbalance can be so habitual that any healing would be regarded as a threatening change to be resisted at all costs.

Some of the following I want you to use as a check list in your personal life…to send me on a personal/confidential level…In other words, let me know how you are living and if you are addressing the following:

Health is wholeness: whatever is separated, divided or fragmented is unhealthy. The following factors are all considered to be CAUSES OF ILLNESS IN SHAMANISM:

(Only relate to these if you connect to these behaviors more than 50% of the time)

Lack of order or cleanliness
Neglect of proper boundaries
Unethical or manipulative behavior
Neglect of appropriate nutrition and nourishment.
Loss, theft or relinquishing of vital power. (Do you relinquish your power to others who control your life?The following factors are related to imbalances of Spirit and affect our SOUL:
Lack of self-respect
Neglect of spiritual disciplines
Addictive behavior
Neglect of soul enriching food (live foods mostly)
Loss, theft and relinquishing of the SOUL. (As above)

These above qualities should be answered in regard to SELF. Not someone else. As they do to you…How do you participate in the game?

Astrocast – Brief for February, 2013

By admin Leave a Comment

While writing this, in the light of the Full Moon, I am astounded at the brilliance of the Moon and its affect on us all. The February forecast will be brief, due to the extended forecast sent to you last month. It seems we turned a corner toward progress and more awareness as we move into the year 2013. Many of you have told me in consultations that you are changing the dynamics of your life and becoming more aware and successful at achieving your intentions. This month highlights the Saturn retrograde in Scorpio as of the 18th and the Mercury retrograde in Pisces as of the 23rd. Again pay attention to your Ascendant (rising sign), your Moon and then your Sun when reading forecasts. You can always reach me at gwynne@gwynnemayer.com. Remember the special on Solar Charts, your birthday chart for the year. I am looking forward to hearing from those in February and March.

Aries – Mercury turning retrograde in your solar 12th house will cause you to pay attention to health issues that you have been ignoring, not to mention the roots of those issues. Stress at work and investments may take a turn in the next few months but only if you are willing to face the facts. You can make great changes happen if you are willing to look your needs in an honest discerning manner.

Taurus – Many Taurus folks are having relationship difficulties signified by the Saturn placement in Scorpio in their solar 7th house. They are reaching out to friends for solace and help and are finding that it is still going to be a long road of solitude and healing whatever the decisions made in the next month or two. It is time to see who your real friends are Taurus because they have had difficulty understanding you in your immediate past.

Gemini – Gemini is loaded with responsibility in the 10th house of career and they are feeling bogged down by paper work and specifics, but those are things that will keep your career on course so start paying attention. It is time to get some health issues resolved, even the minor ones, not to mention getting to the dentist and taking care of oral hygiene. Proper communication will be the focus for this month.

Cancer – Cancers are moving toward higher learning and some areas of new study. They are finally getting out of their comfort zones and making changes in a willing and conclusive manner. They are no longer blinded to conditions brought on by the ‘significant other’ but are able to move toward more independence in thinking and personal management. Problems with the oldest child may be significant, but also can be healed easily. Not to worry!

Leo – It is time for the Leo to pay attention to the monies taken in and spent, like needing to balance the budget. This is something Leos do not like to do as they feel they ‘deserve the full life of luxury’ and unless they are business and finance people, they usually like to look the other way when this subject comes up. It is also time to tweak the spiritual life to include a non-judgmental and loving space for others in the next days to come. Paradigms are shifting as we speak.

Virgo – This next month may bring on some minor arguments with partners and loved ones that are caused from your critical judgments. It is time to rest and find meditation skills to calm your nervousness and busy-ness. You are in a major creative mode this month and don’t need distractions. The sky is the limit if you pay attention only to ‘critiquing yourself’. Be careful of driving too fast and being impatient this month.

Libra – This month could be a major ‘headache’ unless you are paying attention to your rest and sleep patterns. You might want to get more than enough sleep this month to help you think better in the day and make good decisions. New issues will come up in career and home that need your input and decision making skills, i.e. weighing both sides. Your partner needs your objectivity so it is time to weigh in!

Scorpio – This month is crucial for you as you are determining your purpose and individuality that will serve you over the next year, one which will allow you to be free of dependencies that have bothered you in the past. You are probably in a relationship that needs boundary setting and you are learning how to be ‘present in the moment’ even with serious issues still hanging out in the immediate past. You can do it!

Sagittarius – You are busy defining your life purpose and it hasn’t become crystal clear to you yet, so don’t be making problems where there are none and more importantly, don’t let others convince you of your purpose. You have to convince yourself by looking around and seeing what brings you passion and energy. Your home is your solace these days so spend time in your sacred space, defining it in a way that reflects who you really are.

Capricorn – Mercury will give you some messages this month, about how to work with others, teaching, not preaching, etc. You will have some monies come from a ‘windfall’ possibly so be sure and take care to budget your money and saves some for a rainy day. Your budget could use a good tweaking to avoid money leaks! Friends are proving their worth to you as well, so be the kind of friend you want to have and you will see good results!

Aquarius – Aquarians are feeling that they can contribute a great deal to this planet and they can be the overseers at this time, however they do not need to lose focus and gain a kingdom with no focus. All Aquarians need a business finance course just to be able to know how to advance the incomes and to budget needs of the future. Learn from the past because you already have a great curriculum from your past deeds.

Pisces – Pisces is very psychically attuned these days, possibly toward the healing of others and self, but more likely in the understanding of emotional overtones and where the roots of emotional problems come from, not to mention the roots of denial. The sign of service, Pisces, needs to serve others, in volunteer work or as a profession in order to not be riddled with problems in health and intimate friendships. Be sure you are telling yourself the truth!

First Quarter Astrocast – January, February & March, 2013

By admin Leave a Comment

So we made it through 2012!

The ‘feminine’ in all things is speaking loudly and clearly calling us to ‘be with our own gardens, tending them rather than projecting out to others, critiquing their gardens’. You will be receiving this on the Full Moon as well, which underlines the importance of being at peace with Gaia. We will be looking toward our own sources of these projections as we handle the chaos around us, the mass consciousness that has been let out of the ‘bull pen’. We can see what the collective unconscious is doing only through prayer and meditation, tending our own gardens and our own contribution to humanity and mankind. Many are joining together in meditation and prayer to sing the sounds of ‘peace’ throughout the world. Those who are not joining in will probably not make it in this major shift of consciousness. You will know who, around you, is not going to make that shift . . . bless them and let them be. The stars are only guidelines to what is going on above, but the old adage, ‘as above, so below’ still maintains some power, it seems over us. Our will and it’s alignment with our spiritual nature will see us through . . . the stars don’t rule us, but they certainly send their messages. We need to take an inventory of our own personal lives and find out if we are truly going to make changes in our psyche’s or are we going to wait for that special someone, something to come along and do it for us?

Looking at the lineup of significant planetary situations for the next three months, brings the following into sight: Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn, Neptune moving into early Pisces and Saturn trying to set disciplines for Scorpios until they ‘get it’. Casting these charts we, as astrologers, have to look at the important overriding situations in the ‘above’ in order to figure out an estimate of events. Ending the year 2012 with a Full Moon on December 28th we need to think about closure to the old and bringing in the new. We need to remember that we always have free will and there are several choices and decisions that can be made at any time . . . consider these when looking at your Ascendant/Rising sign first, your Moon second and your Sun last when viewing the syndicated daily horoscopes.

Every month, beginning in January, I will offer a special on ‘Solar Returns’ for your birthday month; the special being of that month, this month for all January birthdates. Solar Returns are constructed for the full year of the present birthday and when your birthday month occurs, the special will be for you! If you are interested in this special, please contact me in the month of your birthday by e-mail: gwynne@gwynnemayer.com.

Aries

Aries has bounced around so much these days as far as changes occurring, not to mention nerve disorders and situations that make one very jumpy! You can imagine the stress of trying to ‘keep up’ with your own health issues and what that stress may cause others who are in your intimate environment. Take control of your health and diet and know your limitations during this time . . . which may cause a need to change your routine and make it more efficient to your needs. It is necessary to make amends to your children as well, and they are waiting to hear from you in this regard. Money has been tightly budgeted if you have any left after manipulating your finances to suit you. You will have to find a way to be as honest about your money concerns as is possible so that you do not waste your time fretting – but instead create more savings which will grow exponentially. Your partner both in business and in ‘life partnership’ wants more patience and honesty coming from you because you have not been forthcoming in your hidden agenda which remains hidden to some extent. It might be time to let down those barriers you have built up and allow freedom to reign in the area of partnership. Take some time in solitude and meditate on the quality of your life thus far…seeing what quality of your life is still left for you to live out. Prepare to obey some strict guidelines as to the care you take of yourself and your home during the next three months.

Taurus

This has been a year of ‘commitment to self’ and a redesigning of oneself in the face of hardship or pulling back to see the bigger picture. If you are seeing the commitment you have to yourself and your loved ones, then make amends and get on with life in a way that is honest, forthright and nurturing. You have withdrawn without intending to do so, the responsibility for the withdrawal still lies with you. Creating savings, cash flow and watching your investments has been worrisome at best, so it is time for you to look at your finances in a way that provides for the future; waiting on someone else to do it for you is not going to work for you anymore. You are your own master. Taurus is very powerful in the area of money and income, but seems to falter in the area of investment. You will be finding the need to be more creative in your business and bring forth some of your natural creative ‘art’ to the forefront whether it be writing, crafting, painting, design . . . it is all part of the creative angst that lives in you day after day. Taking responsibility for any addictions that has caused your health to falter is going to be of major importance these next few months. Your healthy diet and exercise takes at least half of the year to mend and make an excellent routine.

Gemini

You are on a roll, so pay attention and don’t spin out of control. Take each day as it comes and think positively in all areas so that you can enjoy the Jupiter transit through Gemini. Make sure your enjoyment doesn’t put on extra pounds and definitely watch the rich foods and sugars so that you don’t get out of balance. You will be able to see what I am talking about so keep being honest with yourself and your partner(s) and you will be okay. Taking control of your finances will be on the table for you this year, taking care of your ‘savings’ out of that income no matter what. Those rainy days are soon to come when you need that extra money. You probably have two careers anyway so work never ends for you. Make sure one of those ‘jobs’ is your passion and that you are using your creativity in a big way. It might be necessary for you to train others or be some sort of teacher in the areas of your expertise, which you can do very easily, but don’t commit to doing this until you are ready. There may be a chance of ‘hot romance’ for you, one that you have not expected, so make sure you have all of your ‘moral plans’ under control and don’t fall for something or someone ‘just because’. You are in the mood for a romantic and intense encounter and you will know what I mean by that, especially the first of the year. Don’t let your body image run your love life because this might be ‘the one’.

Cancer

You will be particularly sensitive the first three months of the year, so stay around home and family and don’t get lost in your sensitivities to the extent you lose your grounded space. There are changes coming or have come in the immediate past in the area of career and authority within the work space. It seems chaotic at times however the changes will be good for you if you ‘go with the flow’ rather than create resistance for safety sake. You are being surprised by partners, especially in marriages as these partnerships are also taking major shifts and may need to be renegotiated with your needs and emotional well being as priorities. If this is not the case, then you will definitely go through a sadness that leads to ‘depression’ because of your lack of acceptance. Being forthcoming about your feelings and honoring those feelings should be a major goal for you this year. You might want to write down some things you want to happen in behavioral terms so that you can see what you expect in the areas of behavior . . . an example would be to be more nurturing in a way that you receive touch, love and sensitivity from the partner rather than a form of abandonment that you often connect to your significant other. It is all under your own control.

Leo

Leo’s are in their stride as far as intuition, dreams and foretelling the future as Neptune continues to hover in and out of their 7th and 8th house. These next few months can be transformative ‘if’ a form of discipline, in diet and exercise takes over in order to handle the transformative energies. Leo’s rest often on their laurels when, in fact, the world around them is sending opposite messages so it is time to pay attention especially to what is going on right in front of your nose. People need recognition from you if you ever expect to get recognition from them. There are some great things happening to promote your career the first of this year so get on board with your ‘team at the office’ and make things happen in a big way. You have been asked to teach others some of your wisdom and you are a master teacher so don’t hide behind your charisma and expect that to take you forward; put energy into what you are saying and teaching/training and whether it is writing a book or giving online lectures in your fields of expertise . . . just ‘do’ it! You are passionate about your children and are role modeling always what you want them to see, do and hear! Pay attention. Some areas of your home need tweaking, redoing, cleaning up, rearranging and noticing! You are swimming in a sea of possible partners so don’t go to the bottom for your catch…stay on the top and go for the best! All will go well if you stay with discipline, diet and meditation . . . these are not your strongest characteristics so make an effort at least!

Virgo

Partners in life are plentiful at this time as Neptune moves into your 7th house of partnership, however ‘things are not as they seem’ so watch for the personalities and seductions that can lead you astray. It is a remarkable time to see what fits in your paradigm of partnering, so you need to explore with ‘eyes wide open’. Virgo’s do not like surprises in this category and yet there will be many surprises before Neptune is through with you. Your creativity and production are at a peak lately . . . you are really showing your ‘stuff’ out there in a public way. There will be more money coming in the next few months, so save it for a rainy day and start keeping your books and budgets in a routine manner the way you organize your life and your incredible analytic mind. Open your prosperity consciousness to a positive way of thinking so that your expectations don’t limit you, for example: allow any and all work/monies/people to come your way with the knowledge that you will be able to say ‘yes or no’ and your boundaries will be in place. You are an open vessel these days so it will be important for you to pay attention to your instinctual nature and if it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it. Pay attention to your body and what it is telling you as you may sense situations before you realize them mentally. Bring down to earth some of your loftier ideas and write, speak them so that you will remember this fruitful period. Pay attention to sacred space and solitude to reserve your energies for the parade of goodies that will come your way.

Libra

Librans are sighing with relief as they move forward in their quest for peace of mind and prosperity of ‘pocket book’. The lesson for you, dear Libra, is to budget your time and talents and pay attention to saving and putting more value on your work/career. This will also help you with your move toward family and connections to home and hearth. You have had struggles these past couple of years, but this year looks more prosperous if you can keep your head on straight and not project your prosperity on someone else to do for you, like a commitment, partner, or whomever. You will find that you have a mind that can incorporate balance and mediation and you might need it if you are working with children or if you have children of your own. It is a time of confusion in the house of children and you might have to take the time and energy in order to listen and learn from the younger side of life. This might also be a good time for you to travel, go on an adventure or even take some quiet time to yourself and plan for adventures later on in the year. You might get a bit stir crazy if you stick around and look to the four walls to find answers to your restlessness. Being proactive during this time and learning how to keep your boundaries away from triangulation will be a big focus during this year, especially now. If you are considering moving, you might want to ask why and what is your motivation for doing so?

Scorpio

This will probably be the most ‘laid back’ year of your life, or at least the most ‘disciplined’ time of your life. You will find that your sacred space is truly that, sacred solitude to be exact. Finding partners who are on your same wave length and those who are spiritually attuned to your drum beat will be a necessary consideration this year, especially now for all those early Scorpios, later on in the year for those in the middle. Partnerships might be breaking down in marriages and in businesses, all for the ‘good’ so take heed and don’t repeat mistakes well learned from the past. You have a range of emotions to deal with at this time, such as your own senses of passion, joy, jealousy, betrayal, suspicion. Watch that you don’t take offense when someone close to you starts pointing those things out to you. You are the last one who wants others to figure you out before you do. You will find that some of your thinking needs to be adjusted and in so doing, you will automatically improve your perception and conception of how to proceed. You will find your healing mode will take over and you might have dreams that lead you in a different direction than what you had planned for your career. Your life purpose will take on new coloring and may be influenced by a younger person near to you. Pay attention to those in your environment that are sending you messages as your soul heals itself through the Saturn transit in Scorpio.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius has had a great year and is moving faster than the speed of sound so watch those boundaries and take many breaks during these first three months, to get a vision of what you ‘really want’ and what your life’s purpose is all about. That means that there will be more than usual time spent in mediation and discipline. Keeping a journal through this year will prove invaluable as time moves on and you can reflect back on this moment in time as one of the more important life-changing times of your life. You are being guided by your spiritual beliefs and dreams into a time of your life that will help others to gain insight as well. Be sure that when you speak that you do not waste words, but speak from your heart and your incredible spirit. Do not listen to people who waste words and who are dogmatic as this time is for you to boundary yourself with those closest to you, those who have your best interest at heart. There may be changes or additions to your home and this might be either renovating or taking on new properties, so spend time thinking of the best way you want to proceed with this and remember it is a group decision in your family. If you are without family find some supportive intimate friends who will help you guide your thinking on this. Your partnership is in the most beneficial time it has been in for the last twelve years so make hay while the sun shines and be sure that you are doing your part to be grateful and honoring of the partnership. There is a great passion brewing in you and it will be up to you to find the source of that passion and make leaping strides toward success in that area.

Capricorn

Capricorns are in their depths at this point and are learning how to mature at a faster rate than most. It is because they have learned some major lessons about ‘waste not, want not’ as far as time and space are concerned. Hard work and discipline are not the only things you are good at, but learning to accept and receive support from those around you who really want to help but may not be as ‘hard at work’ as you are. You will start prospering especially in January and February so you might want to save some of that good stuff to help you through the year. You have many talents that could beneficial to you, if you take time to ‘enjoy’ rather than see them as ‘work’. You have found out that you cannot control others but must mediate or negotiate space, time and mental energies. This has been a hard lesson for you in every way, but your learning curve has increased and continues to do so. Take time out to get body work done regularly so that you do not get rigid and out of shape. Pay close attention to your hips and knees and make sure your flexibility is tweaked now and again. Following a diet that does not include too much sugar or processed foods will help immensely and making sure that you continue this in the future will assure good health and major accomplishments. Be cautious of your addictions as you know exactly what they are and how ‘they’ manage ‘you’ rather than vice versa.

Aquarius

Aquarians are looking to the future in relationship to partners, career and especially money and savings as they delve into the ‘realities’ of their existence and take some time to look at all possibilities in the very near future. There is a need for the Aquarian to leave his or her mark on the planet in a way that only a ‘futuristic thinker’ can do. Some serious contemplation this next month will allow you to be more realistic about your finances and how you work with other people. Aquarians are usually everyone’s friend, however your ideas of friendship and intimacy are intertwined and must be considered, especially if you decide to live with someone in close proximity. You definitely need your space and you need to be acknowledged for your contribution . . . when these criteria are met, you are perfectly willing to share who you really are and connect in a way that allows ‘in-to-me-see’. You are going to be asked to take more of an authoritative role in your career which takes you back to how you saw authority lived out in your life, mostly by the patriarch, but that is not in concrete, so you might have to use creative ways of ‘sitting in your own authority’ with others in a way that, at first, is uncomfortable, but then becomes quite natural. Mind your stress levels and don’t let your immune system get all wound up, unable to fight whatever virus is going around. Remember that you are usually healthy by your nature with chronic aches and pains and have learned how to do a natural form of pain management if not healthy and natural diets to keep you in good condition. This is a year to shine!

Pisces

Pisces has his/her plate full of ideas and wishes so it is ‘now’ that we have to look at all of those possibilities, keeping your feet on the ground and facing the realities of your current situation. You need to analyze the very things that seem to hold you back and make some decisions as to how you are going to progress. You have a way of manipulating your world to get what you want so really nothing is out of your reach, but it is up to ‘you’ to make those things happen, while still facing the realities of day to day living. Money seems to flow through your fingers without you adhering to a necessary budget or bookkeeping and this will eventually get you in trouble. You are also avoiding some issues around your health that need to be checked out once and for all. Be sure to get second opinions as the nature of Pisces is difficult to analyze by any professional. You might be asked to do some training and teaching in your career and this will be an easy thing for you to do if you will just step forward and own up to your responsibilities as a leader/teacher/trainer. Mercury will go retrograde the end of February in Pisces for about three weeks so you might want to look at getting things ‘done’ before this event so as not to become frustrated and overly emotional. You have learned through the year not to make big decisions based on your emotions so pay close attention to balancing your emotions, meditating and praying, holding on to your sacred space as a creative individual. If you adhere to some of this advice, then all will go well in your area of the world in the next month or two.

Astrocast – Brief for December, 2012

December 2012

Well we are getting close to the ‘doomsday drama of the Mayan Calendar’ and all is going well. So remember to think your own thoughts and affirm your own realities so that you will succeed through all of the hype and drama that exists in our world today. Remember always that ‘history repeats itself’ and now we have the high tech world of immediate information . . . speeding through the universal flow of life. Learn to ‘affirm’ for yourself and find at least one other person in your life who can be there for support in every way. Support is not ‘dependency’ but is meant to be an unconditionally loving and two-way street. Mercury turned direct on Monday the 26th of November and will be out of the ‘woods’ so to speak by December 1st. Also the Full Moon Eclipse on the 28th of November will keep us on our toes through the 1st of December. You might find a ‘go’ in many ways that will help you move forward.

A brief description of each sign is below as we move into Jupiter’s reign (Sagittarius) and the early Saturnian connection (Capricorn). Next month, January, you will receive a much lengthier forecast which will help you maneuver the last of the winter months. As of January, I will be doing specials for the birthday months, in the form of Solar Charts. So if you have a birthday in January, please contact me. A solar chart gives the years forecast in advance and is quite interesting; built off of your natal chart. A thirty page explanation for the year 2013 will accompany the private consultation. I encourage you to read your Ascendant first, Moon second and Sun last when reading any horoscope. These are ‘shorts’ to remember!

Aries – Watch the communications with loved ones and make sure you are telling the truth to yourself about how you do ‘communicate’. You are needing to create connections, not separations in the way you are speaking, acting and doing. Remember to ‘walk your talk’ or you might be out there ‘walking alone’.

Taurus – Taking care of business is the uppermost precaution these days and making sure that careless mistakes from the past don’t come back to haunt you toward the end of 2012. You have a chance to transform some very important matters in your life, so take the high road and do just that!

Gemini – Life is treating you well these days unless you are exhausting your energies. Rest during the holidays and remember you are the most important person in your life. You might want to write down some of the more remarkable things going on right now because in another month or two you will see the results of those things happening ‘today’.

Cancer – Taking care of the stress at work has been all consuming, affecting your home life, your relationships and your forward motion. Don’t get stuck in this as the stress may turn into some more physical problems down the road. You will need to confront some situations now; you have ignored them recently and they don’t go away!

Leo – Your friends abound in all directions, so pay heed to those people who are really there for you in a big way and less attention to those you have to chase after. Life is too short to make you stand around and wait. It is best to move forward with those who want to join you. If they don’t want to participate, then look to those who do! Don’t settle!

Virgo – Career opportunities will start to present themselves so much so that you will be confused as to which road to take. Don’t over analyze, using your head to confuse you more, instead find your passions and let them serve you well through the next few months. Don’t get caught up in your money confusions as they too get over analyzed and impoverished.

Libra – Getting a hold of your finances is imperative these days. Remembering that the budgets you set are also more than monetary as they include your boundaries and your abilities to say ‘no’ to what you don’t need and ‘yes’ to what serves your growth and prosperity. This is a big learning curve for you.

Scorpio – You are being tested over and over again lately and the prognosis is only as good as your self-control and abilities to be introspective and conscious from moment to moment. You might start looking at your daily habits and addictions and work on them so as to eliminate any road blocks to your future.

Sagittarius – This will be a great way to end the year if you reserve and conserve your energies. Don’t overdo it as you are prone to do when you get excited about new ideas and opportunities. You have learned many things about yourself lately and those creative ideas will grow into a firm reality when you look back on this time.

Capricorn – Learning to go with the flow and becoming responsible for your positive and negative thought patterns has been a real test for you at this time. Give yourself a break and enjoy the holidays with some fun and relaxation. Can you do that? Or is that goal a foreign idea to you?

Aquarius – You Aquarians are so good hearted that you cannot resist exhausting your own energies this holiday season. Get some rest and enjoy the relaxation that comes with just being a couch potato or some innocuous being that doesn’t have to save the planet. You can get started on that in January 2013.

Pisces – Your dreams are coming truer every day and you are finding a way to present yourself to others that is far more satisfying than before. You might be looking at finding a ‘love’ amongst those you have called your ‘friends’. Stay watchful and trust your ability to discern the heart from the head!

Astrocast – Brief for November, 2012

By admin Leave a Comment

Think Before You Speak

November begins on the tail end of one of the most powerful Full Moons of the year, Taurus. We saw the most important weather events, Frankenstorm, hit the east coast during that time. Emotions are running high, feelings rising like tidal waves and emergencies around every corner. As November moves on, Mercury moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius and then turns retrograde back into Scorpio, so take care of your communications from November 6th through the 26th and watch that you say what you mean and ‘think before you speak’, might want to watch our judgments of self and others during that time as well. The fact that Mercury will go retrograde on election day is quite the ominous move into lack of clarity for the election. Something is bound to go wrong with the process. We will see it in multiplied formation for sure on the newscasts. We will see a total solar eclipse on post election week, November 11th-17th. Changes abound! Venus is moving into Libra and that will give us a great mirror in relationships, so that we can actually see what we are projecting on others as well as what they are projecting on us. Not always a comfortable position, but well worth our reflections. This is a time when we need to definitely look toward our own mirror and find out what we keep saying in our ‘reactions’ to others.

As always, when reading these horoscopes, read your Ascendant first, your Moon second and your Sun Sign third. The longer three month forecast is available here.

Aries – Aries, watch your temper and your impulsivity during this time. Your bark is always worse than your bite, but few realize that until the dust settles! Try to learn to meditate and stay calm.

Taurus – Taurus will find more solace in those sacred moments alone than with a partner during this time. Emotions are at their high point and will tend to be ‘dramas’ like reality TV.

Gemini – Siblings are giving you some problems which probably began ‘way back when’ so give up trying to solve them. It is time for you to focus on ‘you’ and get the best out of life.

Cancer – Changes are occurring around your home and family and it seems impossible to keep up so why don’t you take a vacation away from the chaos and try to find some peace of mind.

Leo – It is time to pull back some of your charisma and listen to your ‘heart’ and follow wherever that might lead. You might find that there are new loves in your life that need to be noticed.

Virgo – You are too busy to really enjoy life right now, so make it worth your while and be sure your money issues are part of that ‘busy-ness’ . You will find survival needs are most important at this time.

Libra – New mirrors all around; mirrors that reflect you back to ‘you’. How do you accept or reject these mirrors and will you make necessary changes or just stay in your rut?

Scorpio – It is time to reflect what you want to achieve most in your life; watch that you don’t get caught up in someone elses drama regarding ‘relationships’ or you will find yourself swamped with emotion.

Sagittarius – Things will get mighty confusing this month if you take on too many tasks. Just do what ‘you can do’ and let go of the rest of your many issues. You will stretch yourself too thin if you go ‘against the grain’.

Capricorn – You will find your emotions running high and you will want to ‘hide out’, but that is unnecessary because you have the strength to do whatever it is you have chosen to do within your relationships this month.

Aquarius – It is time to clear out all the clutter around you and keep the most important things so that your life has more of an organized meaning to you and those around you. Your brain probably looks like your organization!

Pisces – You have been dreaming some very profound dreams lately. See if you can make the best of these dreams come alive in reality. You are on a roll with your creativity. Don’t waste time!

Fourth Quarter Astrocast – October, November & December, 2012

By admin Leave a Comment

You Create Your Own Reality!

2012 has proved to be a year of learning, adapting, changing and birthing a new you! If this has not been the case then what is happening thus far will just be harder to deal with later . . . so get on board the ‘transformational ship’ and hold tight for the roller coaster ride. Our political system and the world stage is only a minute reflection of what is occurring in our psyches. As promised, I will give you a brief explanation for each sign from October 1st – December 31st so you can be somewhat prepared. Remember to look to your Ascendant sign first, your Moon sign secondly and then your Sun sign to get a more accurate ‘hit’ on what is going on in your personal horoscope. If you have questions as to how your chart manifests itself in your life, you can always get in touch by email: gwynne@gwynnemayer.com. I am here to help you figure this stuff out so don’t be shy!

Some highlights to be watching for during this crucial ending of the 2012 cycle are the following:

Mercury will turn retrograde in the sign of Scorpio from November 7th – 27th.

Jupiter will turn Rx October 5th, in Gemini, remaining retrograde through the rest of the year.

Neptune will turn direct on November 12th making its entry into the sign of Pisces.

Chiron joins Neptune traveling through the early degrees of Pisces, adding more healing energy to this very sensitive sign.

Uranus, the planet of immense change turns direct at 4 degrees of Aries on December 14th.

Saturn, the planet of disciplines and structures, enters Scorpio and starts its 2 ½ year motion through that sign.

Pluto continues to move forward slowly but surely and transformingly through Capricorn.

As always we must keep up with the New Moons, starting new projects and the Full Moons, finishing off endeavors that need releasing. It is best to follow an almanac of some kind as the Moon waxes and wanes and changes moods depending on your relationship to it. November 13th we have a Solar Eclipse at 21 degrees of Scorpio, (New Moon) and on November 28th we have the Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) at 6 Gemini. We will be more specific as to how this all works with each sign so stay tuned! Off we go!

Aries

Continued changes and set backs are still confusing the Aries, but only if the particular Aries is lying to himself/herself about surrounding conditions. There is an opportunity to view love, romance and commitment in a new light if that is possible, putting on a new face for the significant other. Aries has been wrestling with just ‘getting along’ with others and it has been an internal war. Communication with siblings may have been strained, but now has time to mend the course and maybe taking trips together or just understanding each other better will be the answer to some exhausting contemplations these last few months. There is a need to check out some physical problems that may be around the nervous system. Toxic thinking also leads to toxic physical reactions and those situations must be looked into and diagnosed properly, possibly by second and third opinions. These few months left in 2012 will give you the opportunity to mend your ways and also cleanse the body of its recurrent thinking. You have had some major battles in your work place and it is causing you to rethink what you are ‘putting out’ as far as vibrations are concerned. Maybe you need to ‘listen’ for a while and not stretch your engaging personality so far, trusting that your popularity will carry you forward. It is now time for ‘truth telling’ and especially to those who have stood by your side. What do you want to tell them, and even more importantly, what do you ‘need’ to tell them? Make the end of the year end on a good note, telling the truth as you see it and listening to the responses of those in whom you trust. This will only get harder to do as time goes on if you build your communications on a house of ‘sand’.

Taurus

Taurus is learning the lessons of discipline and boundaries this past year, working through their many money issues and setting new parameters for new behavior. It is time to clean up the messes made by ‘not paying attention’ and ‘being distracted’. This is not someone else who caused the problem, it is all about ‘you’ and your degree of responsibility to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. There are many ways you can do this and remedy the issues that have caused you problems in the past. You are undoing some karma in both relationships and in the areas of ownership. Make sure you do this in a way that is forgiving and conscientious. You will be able to start saving money and making even more of it, IF, in the next three months, you clean up the mess you made. You will find your life running smoothly and successfully if all of this is done in a timely manner. Other Scorpios in your life may be telling you something you don’t want to hear, however, even if it is true, it is still a projection of them as well, so heed only the advice you need and toss the rest. You are learning big lessons about relationships and of comingling monies and my suggestion is to stop comingling in committed relationships and let others do their own financing, taking care of their own business and you do the same. You will find your relationships will take off on a much more positive note. Your children or some creative activity is teaching you big lessons right now so pay close attention. You may be at the height of your creativity in many ways. The year of 2013 can be the best year ever! You are in charge!

Gemini

Gemini’s are full of energy these days and accomplishing a great deal, business, travel and communication . . . as long as they don’t scatter their energies and stay focused they will be just fine! There may have been some big opportunities come their way and this will propel them into even bigger arenas, however, the Gemini often gets sidetracked with their busy minds coming up with something that might sabotage the efforts, so watch out for those little lies you tell yourself to keep you from looking full face into the truth of the matter. The good news is that you have tons of feedback from your universe in the form of partnerships, those who really love you for who you are will help you course correct yourself. Travel may be the uppermost thing in your agenda these days and the travel may be far and wide, or your dreams could be out of this world and into the next. Make plans to give yourself the most exhilarating experiences ever. There are some cautions you might want to take; health issues that are annoying such as rashes around the face, arms, hands, reminding you to watch your boundaries and not to go into overload while you are busy about your ‘life’. Sticking to homeopathic remedies might be best as these ailments are hard to diagnose since they are all about emotional and feeling situations that need to be dealt with and the medical community often misses the somatic connection here. The best thing for you to do to maintain these cautions is to see both the naturopath and the medical doctor to find a happy medium for treatment. You might be attracted to a younger person, romantically at this time unless you are the ‘conservative type’, but either way you will have fun! You have some young people around you who are very helpful in showing you how to enjoy your life, so pay attention and see what the ‘inner Gemini child’ in you wants to do. You will see this more fully during the Full Moon in Gemini on November 28th.

Cancer

Cancers are either enjoying the changes that have come about because of learning experiences from ‘partnerships’ or they are deeply involved in the feeling realms about making those changes. They are watching their Capricorn shadows go through change after change and are heeding these lessons well, hopefully! There are many changes going on around you Cancer, do you see and heed the lessons to be learned from all of these? You may be worried about your children needlessly as they will find their way no matter what, so it is time you found your own way and quit over protecting them. You sometimes utilize your children as boundaries and live through them instead of living your life ‘with’ them and as an individual. Sudden changes and shifts in the area of career have thrown you for a ‘loop’, so you might see what the message is in all of this, to find your passion and to live it fully on your own, before it is too late and you are too old to enjoy it! You seem overwhelmed with what is going on in your life, making decisions that might be to stay inactive and just absorb the blows that life has to offer…don’t do it! Get out of your comfort zone and make things happen for your benefit, learning to take care of yourself in a nurturing and loving way so as not to make mistakes by giving your energies away to someone else, helping them solve their problems and there you are left with your own. Enjoy the changes that are occurring around you now as you will land on your feet with a different perspective, changing your world view!

Leo

Leos are finding they need more sacred space, alone time and are realizing that they are the ones who are in total ‘charge’ of their lives. This is a big time for Leos as they move into the winter months and start looking at different ways to create diversions for themselves. This will also mean that they have to be very careful not to ‘put off’ people who need them and depend on them for clarity and purpose, but instead help those others to ‘help themselves’. There may be renovations or changes in the home, caused by ‘time’, death of a partner, or just confusion about ‘home base’. This leaves the Leo uncertain as to how to navigate to a more important calling. These issues will definitely rear their heads in November and keep the Leo on his/her toes as to which way the compass is pointing, toward career, relationships, investments and most of all creative projects. Where are your priorities? Leos have a great intuitive mind and can usually find a way if they follow their hearts and gut level intuition. There may be a sudden need to take short trips that come out of nowhere, so get ready for that. You can adapt! The Leo is now focusing on health and his/her own bio-energies so it is important to understand your biorhythms fully so that you can put your energy where it is needed, following a healthy diet and making changes in old habits that have not served you well. One of the biggest problems for Leos as all fixed signs, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius, is the breaking of addictions and finding what lies under these addictive behaviors, what belief system causes them to fall back into patterns that are unhealthy, fixed and irresolvable. Children and their activities can help heal these inner child wounds so it might be wise to pick up some projects that have children around them or children being helped by them. This would help enliven the Leo so that he/she can be the big-hearted, child like individual whose life is a model for others, not a drain on others. Time for some introspection Leo, do you want to make permanent changes or just stay comfortable with the way you are!???

Virgo

Virgos seem to be waking up to a new day every day with an added change that is not predictable, which then throws them for a loop. Unpredictability for a Virgo Ascendant, Moon or Sun can get the priorities out of sync and send them on a roller coaster of emotional upheaval and confusion. It doesn’t help to have Pisces as your opposite shadow sign going through the beginnings of the Neptune transit entering Pisces. There are issues around many things, relationships, health matters, communicating with the public and even more importantly, self-concept. What you believed about yourself last week might not be true today and it might be tweaked again next week. To put it bluntly you are in an ever changing cycle that is going to open your eyes to new worlds, new ambitions and may take you into areas you have not planned on. Tighten your seat belts. You have the capacity to make these changes as you are mutable, flexible sign and once you get your feet under you, you can make all of this work for you, not against you. You might find that you have a new romance with money, affirming your prosperity in a way that is not going to bind you down in some poverty consciousness. It is time to be exacting and truthful with people and it might not meet with the best response, but it will honor your integrity which needs uplifting at this point in time. You have had some projects on the back burner that need to be focused on; those situations need to be your focus through the next few months. It might be hard for you to do, but it will be worth it in the end. Getting into your healing mode and studying how to promote your energy through working with others is going to be a primary thrust for you in the next six months, so be ready to get your own body in shape for the big thrust! You can do it, it is a matter of focus and less distraction.

Libra

Libra is having a better time of it than they have in the last two years or so, so their heads are clearer, they can make better decisions and it is time for them to move beyond procrastination and into ‘action’. This will help you Librans in a way that is remarkable if you utilize your natural talents and abilities to sense the timing on all things important to you: career, relationships, investments, creativity and above all solid communication. You need to find a way to stay on a budget and see how your time is equated to the money you make, now is the time to focus on the many possibilities in your life and narrow them down to only those in which you find ‘wholeness’ and ‘completion’. You might find stress in the intimate partnership because your partner is changing daily and throwing you curves, however they need your support and unconditional love as they go through their changes. You will be finding opportunities that you did not know existed in the next few months, so bite the bullet and take a risk, advancing your plight in life to a more successful and purposeful life in your career and money management. You work well with people and they love you because you are an ultimate ‘peace keeper’ so they will join you in whatever it is you choose to accomplish in the next few months. Your health needs tweaking in the area of dietary concerns. Stay away from the sugar and discipline yourself so that you don’t have diabetes when you get older. Following a dietary plan now will help you in later years live a quality life. It takes a great deal of planning on your part for this to happen as you are a social eater and forget the restrictions when you are in the midst of contentment and good friends. You don’t want to pay for this later so it is wise to start now, making a plan and sticking to it for a lifetime. Find ways to make your millions and also live your passion . . . starting NOW!

Scorpio

Scorpios are now looking at the entrance of Saturn in their sign and this means, discipline, commitment, restriction, limiting, self-evaluation, etc. Just look up the meaning of
Saturn and you will find all the situations that you might have in your private life which are in need of attention, not the least of which is your health, your diet and how you see yourself. Scorpios have learned many lessons in partnerships and still look forward to learning many more, getting ideas of ‘how to live’ or ‘how NOT to live’ through the eyes of the partner. The entrance of Saturn into your life will give you a ‘reality check’ in ways you won’t believe. The focus the next few months should be on you and how you live your life, through changing your dietary plan, watching your addictions that they don’t get the ‘upper hand’ on you and above all, learning how to protect your own sacred space without having to sign on another partner just to do that! When you look back on this time it will seem like the most growth you have ever had or at least in the last 29 years so pay attention, keep a journal and make this the most reflective time ever. You will benefit from all of these reflections if you internalize your most ‘sacred needs’ into a spiritual container, YOU! What you discipline yourself to do now will show up as a positive growth in the next 29 years so always remember this in your daily meditations. If you misbehave and become manipulative now, to get out of your duties to yourself, then you will land flat on your butt over and over again until you get the message. Your secrecy is a moniker that you don’t want to encourage now so find someone you trust to help you get your life in order and set a direct path into the future! You are a high achiever and deserve to have the best in life so don’t sabotage your own efforts by manipulating others to do your bidding, or becoming self-indulgent! Create something from ‘within’ around the Solar Eclipse November 2nd. Good luck Scorpio! The world is your oyster!

Sagittarius

The most gregarious sign in the zodiac, you Sagittarians, will benefit greatly from watching your fellow Scorpios go through their maneuvers in the next few years. You are focused on your creativity at this point, meaning creativity in work, play and partnerships. Life has brought you to a successful time in your daily routine so stay focused and don’t spoil it by being self-indulgent or flighty in any way. You are especially intuitive now and that intuition can be used to help others, to write, to keep daily journals, to learn some ways to test your own intuition, keeping you on the your spiritual path in every way. Helping others and working with healing are special talents you have, however you also have a tendency to give away too much energy and then become exhausted too late to notice how to correct this tendency. Pay attention to your body and get ‘energy’ work done to adjust your patterns. You feel very intense about your life now and where it is going, however you need to ‘trust the process’ of going forward and relax into it so that you can ‘know God is on your side’. There will be changes in some issues at home, maybe some situations need to be addressed about the home that are bringing down your energies…these are probably nuisances that can be corrected easily. Pay close attention to what your ‘pets may be saying to you’ as these pets pick up all kinds of energies that are healing in and of themselves. Your partners are changing as well, in a good way and are very busy doing what they are meant to be doing so it is time for you to focus on you and getting yourself in order for a very successful end of the year. You will reflect back on this as a time when decisions were made to move you forward. Just don’t leave the planet in your exuberance. Watch your boundaries and honor your meditations!

Capricorn

So Capricorns feel like they have been through the mill don’t they? If they have learned their lessons, they are ready to move on, however if they are stuck in their own chaos, this is very difficult to do. Many of their problems center around handling personal finances and learning to earn their fair share of the pot. It’s not easy to look in the mirror is it Cappy? The ‘shadows’ are looming all around you; you have no one to blame for your fate, but yourself! Do you think someone is going to come rescue you or are you the hard working type of Capricorn who must do it all yourself? You need a bit of both expectations in order to make it through the incredible Pluto transit. Your intensity may scare others, but you need that intensity in order to maintain your sanity. You might find money and wealth coming from some creative projects or passion filled hopes that you put on the back burner. Try them out and see what happens. You might be surprised at your life going in increasing forward motion if you do! The good news is that you are creating changes in others lives by your spontaneous expressions and communications. Some of you have used the lessons you have learned in order to help others and create a more positive environment for them; if that is the case with you, then you can breathe more easily through these chaotic times and go with the flow! Health may become a huge issue, more arthritis or irritation/inflammation that is painful because you have internalized much of your own criticisms and create the pain as if it is your responsibility to be in pain. You might try disciplining yourself to diet and exercise, watching the types of foods you are eating to help you nurture the body, mind and spirit. In particular watch out for the stress on your knees! No one is going to do this for you as this is your body and your responsibility. The Capricorn individual is highly advanced in his/her thinking and can learn great lessons – also teach great lessons during this time!

Aquarius

Aquarians are forever positive about their lives, living in the dream world without any effort at all, however this dream world needs to be brought down to reality in some ways that might be frustrating to the least of you. You have been so intuitive and mediumistic in your visions lately, watching as the ‘dream’ carries you forward. Now, it is about making, saving and investing your monies, so that seems to bring you down unless you can sit and make a ‘real budget’ with ‘real figures’, not hopeful, but REAL. Taking care of your energy now is so important as to what kind of foods you are putting in your body, those types of foods that aren’t destroying your health, but instead giving you a maximum of energy. When you are zapped in your sleep, you need refreshing surroundings and diets to keep you in the game! You will find surprise after surprise the next couple of months and you will have to step up to the ‘plate’ in order to hit that home run of realization. Capitalize on what is presented to you and make it a ‘real plan of action’. December and January may bring some necessary doctor visits, nothing serious if you pay attention, so it behooves you to keep your health in optimum condition and not let some expanded allergies cause you problems. People have been helpful in your life recently and have shown you they care, so don’t forget them as you become more and more successful in your plight. Create success, pay attention to your dreams and share your incredible knowledge with those who benefit from it. You are a gift to the universe!

Pisces

These poor sensitive Pisces! Wow! Has it been confusing and mind blowing what you are going through right now? You will have to do many reality checks in order to make it through the day, any day for the next few months. Pay attention to your six senses because it is the only way you can tell if the truth is in front of you or you are being manipulated. You have incredible sensitivity and it is important to not let this ‘retroflect’ back toward you as ammunition against you. Watch how you treat others during this time so that you will also be sensing their needs. It is easy to blind yourself to others at this time, because you are so focused on yourself. It is not harmful to be self-involved, but it is harmful to ignore the ‘realities’ of partnerships in business, marriage, siblings, parents, etc. Your finances have been up and down and many changes have occurred because of that; the way you live, the expectations of wealth all need to be tweaked and understood in the ‘light of day’. See where you are ‘dropping the ball’ and brace yourself to pick up the pieces. Virgos might be very helpful to you right now in looking in the mirror and creating a routine with priorities toward a successful reality. Cleaning up the clutter around your home, your closets, your desk and the things that are driving you nuts, might solve more issues than you can imagine. Also get plenty of sleep and help yourself work out your problems in your ‘dream life’. You have incredible powers in that department. You can also look to your pet(s) to help guide you through your emotional day as their senses are never wrong. Once you get use to Neptune in your sign, you will get the wisdom to know what to do . . . this more than likely will happen after November 12th.

Just to keep you informed as to what is going on in the ‘heavens’! This will be short and to the point. The regular three month forecast is still available here. There are many elements to consider for this next month of September so we will hit the high points for now. Neptune forms a wonderfully creative and somewhat surprising trine with Mars during the last of August and the first of September so that will help those Pisces and Scorpios especially. Mercury is in the ‘let’s get real’ sign of Virgo and helps the Virgo/Pisces axis get into more of a connection to their priorities. The second week of September may cause some problems as Uranus is conjunct the Moon in Aries so this will bring some major conflicts into view, may even bring about a political war to some extent. Venus will be in Leo from the second week on through the next three weeks so that is beneficial to any one born in Leo, Moon in Leo or Leo Ascendant and will possibly benefit the other fire signs of Aries and Sagittarius; Aries can use this energy because they have been wrestling with Uranus and the changes that have come into their lives, mostly unexpected and creating a topsy-turvy world. The middle of the month brings about Pluto going direct in the sign of Capricorn and should bring some needed relief in that direction for all those with any signs in early degrees of Capricorn, onward ho! We will all enjoy the Harvest Full Moon at the end of September and create our own personal harvesting time……all of us coming together to unite creating a world that can open itself to the beauty of ‘oneness’ in a time of fragmentation. Enjoy your September and create something positive for yourself. For more information about your personal natal chart, contact me: 210.393.5349.
