EclipseThis 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 AstrocastWe 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 Ariesmisspent 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 Taurusfinances 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 Geminihave 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 Cancermind 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; Leoas 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 Virgogoing 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 Libracan 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 Scorpiointensity 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 Sagittariuspromising 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 Capricornyour 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 Aquariusattract.  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 Piscesenergy, 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!

Water by 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!

 

Light of the Full MoonWhile 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 Ariesof 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 Taurusreaching 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 Geminispecifics, 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 Cancergetting 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 Leofeel 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 Virgofind 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 Librathan 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 Scorpioover 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 Sagittariusimportantly, 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 Capricornfrom 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 Aquariusdo 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 Piscesunderstanding 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!

Gaia -  Mother Earth by laurengarySo 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

AriesAries 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

TaurusThis 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

GeminiYou 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

CancerYou 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

LeoLeo’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

VirgoPartners 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

LibraLibrans 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

ScorpioThis 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

SagittariusSagittarius 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

CapricornCapricorns 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

AquariusAquarians 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

PiscesPisces 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.

Full moonThink 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!

You create your own reality

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

AriesContinued 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

TaurusTaurus 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

GeminiGemini’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

CancerCancers 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

LeoLeos 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

VirgoVirgos 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

LibraLibra 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

ScorpioScorpios 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

SagittariusThe 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

CapricornSo 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

AquariusAquarians 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

PiscesThese 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.

GalaxyWe have a short forecast for August . . . the long three month forecast for July, August and September is available here and still holds ‘true’ for the next couple of months. There are important events taking place that need to be mentioned as it will affect the signs mentioned in the following information. First the effects of the Full Moon on August 2nd will emphasize the emotional overload for both Aquarians and Leos, compounded by the Mercury retrograde that will finally turn direct on the 7th, giving us some much needed clarity and allowing all of the fixed signs, including the aforementioned, as well as Taurus and Scorpio to make plans that will move them forward in their lives rather than remaining stuck in their fixed opinions and immobility.   Venus will move out of Gemini and move into Cancer with an emphasis on nurturing, diet and comfort, which is much needed by the cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn; all early degrees of these signs have gone through tremendous changes and chaos that last few months. Relationships may take on major changes and splits when Venus opposes Pluto the second week of August and these will be mostly noted by any major planetary constellation one has in their natal or progressed charts; not to mention the Mars conjunct Saturn as a ‘stop you in your tracks’ type of effect so it is ‘proceed with caution’. As we move toward the end of August, the 19th onward, we will see the mutable signs, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces and Gemini get more into their creative energies and make big shifts in that arena of development. As a reminder, each time I send these out, you can read your daily horoscopes with this emphasis in mind; reading Ascendant (Rising sign) first, Moon secondly and Sun sign thirdly to get a more exacting reading of your activities for that day. If you do not know all of the parts of your chart, please contact me at gwynne.mayer@gmail.com with your information and I will send you an e-mail accounting of all of this.  See you next month.

Solar Storms Abound!

Solar Storms Abound 1As promised, this is the more lengthy astrocast for April, May and June of this year, looking at it from the perspective of each sign Aires through Pisces.  Many events are going on in the heavens these days and in addition to the solar storms, we have planets acting up and causing some turmoil. This is not to say that there is a disaster at hand, instead it is to keep you ‘on your toes’ and will allow your consciousness to soar. Remember to always read your Ascendant (rising sign) first, your Moon second and your Sun sign last when reading general monthly reports.  Stay tuned to other events that we will bring you here through this very important year of 2012.  Some highlights for this month are in order of importance: (dates may vary due to location)

Solar Storms Abound 2Mercury will turn direct on April 3rd in the sign of Pisces and moves slowly on into Aries…things will improve around April 12th so give it some time to exert its influence.  (Mercury never ventures more than 28 degrees from the Sun)

Venus will be retrograde from May 15th until June 27th  in the middle of Gemini, affecting again Gemini and Sagittarius.

Mars will turn direct Saturday April 14th to the pleasure of all Virgos since it has basically gone through the sign of Virgo since January the 23rd.

Saturn will continue in retrograde motion in the latter degrees of Libra and will finally exit slowly when He turns direct June 25th.  Hopefully all the late degrees of Libra have learned the lessons this ‘time honored’ old giant has tried to teach you.

Pluto will turn retrograde on the 10th of April in the sign of Capricorn and will not turn direct again until mid-September. There is a major Pluto squaring Uranus activity which applies to a world situation as well as personal experiences accordingly.

This information came from a blog Astrotabletalk…do not know the writer but it is very important information:

 “So we have this Uranus square Pluto transit that is affecting the whole world. It is probably going to be most noticeable when the chart of a country interacts strongly with that transit, as it does for all the major powers at different times. But it’s not just about the interaction with charts. We have seen that with the Arab Spring, the series of rebellions against secular authoritarian government that have spread across the Middle East and beyond. We are also seeing the same sort of change in Burma and Russia. It is a like a virus that is spreading across the world. Symbolically Uranus is a planet of protest inasmuch as it is creative, it wants to create new forms and it needs the freedom to do that. The sign of Aries brings a martial quality and a visionary quality to that, and the square from Pluto empowers that protest – empowers in the sense that Pluto brings a life or death quality, for the protesters it becomes an issue of their survival as free human beings rather than mere subjects, that is where the empowerment comes from.”

Neptune will turn retrograde in Pisces, its ruling planet, on June 4th until the 10th of November.

We will have a Solar Eclipse in the 0 degree of Gemini May 20th which will bring some changes along to Gemini and Sagittarius.

A Lunar Eclipse will occur on June 4th in at 14 degrees of Sagittarius, affecting both Sagittarius and Gemini.

Aries

AriesAries will have great changes to deal with the next few years and as of now, these changes are coming rapidly and keep the adventurous Aries on his/her toes for the time being.  Health issues, around stress and anger management, need to be watched. This is not a time where one can be impulsive and explode in the moment just to make a point.  It is time to give you plenty of alone time so that you are rested and make wise decisions. There may be unfinished business in the area of finances and investments that need to be looked after so that you do not lose the monies you have gained thus far. Toward the middle of the month you will notice a more positive outlook on the financial future.  Your relationships have been suffering the last few months with poor communication and even poorer intimacy issues so it might be time to look into yourself and find a way to improve those matters or you will find yourself, again, alone and not able to function well without a partner.  Traveling might be an option to lighten your load toward May and June and it might give you a new slant on things.  If you are not thinking of traveling, then engage in some new adventure that will use your mind and develop a new sense of self, especially in the spiritual world.  Your friends and family may be your saving grace for the next few months so bring them closer into your inner circle and feel blessed that they are still around and able to be supportive of you and your endeavors.  Take special care of filing your taxes this year and make sure you check all of your expenses honestly and thoroughly.  If mistakes are made it will be because of carelessness and too quickly calculated so take your time.  All in all, this is a time for you to pay close attention to what you are doing, especially in partnership with others, marriages, businesses and families.  You will learn lessons from this time in your life that you never thought possible!  Learn to meditate and honor your quiet time in ways you have not done up until now.

Taurus

TaurusTaurus is very busy these days, seemingly indispensable to those around you, especially in the business sector.  Your charm and magnetism are doubled while Jupiter visits your sign so make the most of it for the next couple of months, just don’t overdo it and become too obnoxious.  Watch your flirtations as they might bring you more trouble than you were counting on in the area of romance and commitment.  Are you ready for a commitment now?  Really think about it.  Pay close attention to cosmetic situations, especially around the teeth and make sure you are taking good care of your teeth and gums.  It might also be helpful to adjust your sleep habits and find out if you are getting enough REM sleep.  Getting plenty of oxygen in your sleep helps you to dream more comfortably and gain knowledge through your dreams.  If you are a smoker, please consider quitting as you are, as a Taurus, putting your health at great risk.  The fixed signs have more of a tendency to addict, whether those addictions are drugs, food, alcohol, exercise…you name it!  You might find that traveling and learning more advanced mental activities will help you through these times. You are gifted in the critical thinking department and have some creative urges that need to be met, maybe in writing or developing an art of some kind more fully and energetically. Do not procrastinate on any of these things as they will only snowball into more problems.  As long as things go well around you, you tend to bury your head in the sand about any problems that are not considered crisis.  These, too, need to be dealt with so they don’t become volcanic in nature.  Enjoy those around you, not as possessions, but as companions and loved ones.

Gemini

GeminiLife has been a roller coaster for Gemini’s however situations will become clearer and clearer as we move toward your birthday.  There might be some new experiences on the rise that will give you more opportunity to do what you love to do, rather than what you ‘have’ to do.  Take care of any medical issues that come up, no matter how minor or serious they are so that you can operate at full capacity the remaining part of the year. You will need your wits about you.  There might be some changes in relationships and you might have hooked up with someone from the past, very serendipitously.  Watch for those signs in relationships when your heart pitter patters and you don’t know why!  Work situations have been mind boggling and somewhat of a problem. You might be doing too much to make your superiors happy and, in doing so, you have made yourself indispensable and therefore stressed and unhappy, not doing what you want to do, but what you ‘have’ to do.  It is time to take an accounting of what brings you joy and passion in life. Can you remember those feelings?  Gemini resonates very well with others when communications are fulfilling; when they aren’t, then all hell breaks loose.  Gemini’s will find that their siblings are giving them a hard time about something that is ‘close to home’, so it might be time to have a major family intervention.  It might have to do with family estates or money involved in the investments made within the family.  In either case, plan wisely with investments for the future and start saving any extra money that comes your way.   Your dreams are telling you about your future and are resolving past issues so pay close attention to your dreams and what they are saying to you; maybe even keep a dream journal so you can reflect on these very important times in your dream world.

Cancer

CancerChanges are happening all around you and if there is anything you hate worse is ‘unexpected’ change.  You have gained and lost in the last few months and it hasn’t been easy, plus you are also getting worried about something your partner is doing or not doing, whether she/he be intimate other or a business partner so it is time to take a true accounting of your concerns before you look like you are having some kind of ‘melt down’.  You know best what your body and mind needs however you are working against yourself in ways on your best friend will know.  Get some support in some of the decisions you are making or at least ‘trying’ to make and think in the affirmative before taking any action.  You have had some major considerations around home/living matters and it might be time to either finish up a renovation or at least feng shui your space so that you are a happier person.  Your thoughts and intentions can be accessed by using some intuitive measures to guide you, like meditation, prayer or returning to a more spiritual plight.  You have a great deal of energy in the next few months, the type of energy that helps you make good decisions, so don’t let the past few months color a sort of negativity around you that will hinder your excellent mind and decision making processes.  You have been fortunate to have money set aside and will find that you are secure in the financial sense of the word….all problems seem to be around emotional and intimate connections.  You might want to consider a new routine and handle supervising or managing others at your work place in a much more efficient and welcoming manner.  Your health needs tweaking, especially around your teeth, bones and flexibility so make sure you are watching what you are eating and drinking so as to handle any inflammation that would build up a fungal reaction in your body.  You might want to consider going to a doctor on integrative medicine so that you can figure out what is causing all the ups and downs in your mood swings these days.  Above all else, remain calm and life will improve on all accounts.  Your partner will appreciate your new optimistic view and you can move forward with a lovely vacation after your birthday!

Leo

LeoLeos are doing some major soul searching these days as to what brings them joy, peace and passion in life.  Money issues have been of a major concern for the past couple of months but all that is getting ready to make a change and the next few months may bring rewards beyond your wildest dreams, that is, if you have affirmed those positive ideas in the ways that will allow you to be open to receive, which is also attached to your ‘willingness’ to change some of the fixed notions you have had the last few months around your negativity.  You have been also dealing with matters around vehicles, communications and family matters, all of which will settle down the next few months and you will be on your way to more relaxation and enjoyment….necessities in the life of a Leo.  You must get in touch with your sense of authority and look at how you treat people and expect them to treat you….these issues may come up in a way that causes you to find a counselor that can help you integrate your ideas about fame, authority, power and especially self-esteem.  You cannot control others, but you can control yourself and that is really all you can hope for.  If you have a positive and affirmative attitude regarding your own ambitions, everything in your life will fall into place and you will be surprised at how your goals will be met.  Some Leos will be having problems with aches and pains, not to mention problems that only a dentist can fix so it is time to see about those minor, but annoying things going on in your body.  You have been asked to be the listening ear to many problems from friends and family and now it is time for you to ‘listen to yourself’ and take your own advice to heart.  Boundaries, healthy boundaries are important to acquire so that you are not stressed beyond your capacities.  Your dreams tell you a lot and will be able to help you get in touch with your ‘heart’s intentions’ if you will only listen and maybe even keep a journal to remind you later of this very important time in your life.  From April 15th on, life will get on a much better keel and will show you new ways of handling your life and the problems that come up. You will make it no matter how much you stand ‘in your own way’.  You were meant to be a leader in all things, so try out your leadership skills with grace the next few months and see if you can change your attitude in a more positive and affirmative manner.

Virgo

VirgoVirgo has been on a roller coaster, emotionally, physically and mentally for the past few months so you will have somewhat of a reprieve the next several months, not that you will give up your fretting, analyzing everything and picking at yourself, but less so, much less so, thank God!  The next few months will be a time of expansion in your businesses and your relationship with the ‘intimate other’, that is if you do not obsess about either one…let things flow more naturally and imagine yourself having all that you want, rather than obsessing about what you don’t want. The miracle in all of this is that if you really focus on any one thing with a great positive attitude, it will come your way, but if the slightest worries and concerns send you into a negative spin, you won’t get what you want as you become your own worst enemy.  You are probably involved with some Piscean influence in your life, either through partnerships, dreams, meditations or getting in touch with your own ‘magic’ and your ‘projections’.  It is a great time to enjoy the movies, the dramas on TV and let those things live themselves out through your imagination….taking the major ‘soap opera drama’ of your life out of the mix in ‘real life’.  Plan accordingly, each day, making notes and lists of what you are going to attain for the day and see to it that you are benefitting yourself in some way, rewarding yourself for you incredible perseverance and hard work, which borders on workaholic behaviors.  Your creativity will be at your maximum the next few months, so please take advantage of that and make some beautiful project come to fruition. You can multi-task like no other so it might be several projects that will be finished and you will be astounded at the results.  It is also time to sock away some cash in savings or planning for that ‘rainy day’. Investments you have made with your own energies might become cash at hand, so be thankful and see that you budget this savings into your long term account.  You might be considering new transportation so it might be wise to look at vehicles that suit you and that reflect who you are to some degree.  Make sure your communications are direct and clear and not confusing to the receiver. You will be amazed at how much more smoothly your life will be when you are clearer about your path and your wishes.  Above all else, take it easy on yourself and follow a natural path of diet and exercise.

Libra

LibraLibrans are finally getting over their ‘lesson-learning’ time and are on to greater things.  It has been a hard two years, but also a rewarding one as the Libra has learned to make hard decisions and then live with those decisions.  It will be best to sensitize to those around you and really listen rather than project what ‘you think’ too quickly. Sometimes problems around you can only be solved by ‘listening ears’.   You might want to consider staying away from too much sugar and alcohol for the next few months and get more in touch with your cravings so that you don’t have health problems stemming from this time, not to mention heart problems or diabetes if you have this tendency in your family.  Make sure to eat healthily and well and also realize how much it might save on fast foods and processed foods, as your savings account needs nurturing as well.  Your partners, both personal and professional may be going through immense changes and it is somewhat confusing to you, but, hey, you don’t have to follow suit with those changes, just learn to go with the flow and relax into a new routine and exciting possibility.  You will find that monies will be more available in the next six months, possibly through inheritance or some investments that surprise you.  Make sure that you are reporting everything properly for the IRS so that you don’t have to take on an audit in the next year.  You will be at the top of your game in your profession and may even take on other responsibilities that will add to your resume and to your fame and fortune later on.  If you are a baby boomer, it is time to think of retirement in a comfortable yet disciplined manner and get in touch with that great Libran peace of mind that is so prevalent in your older years.  You have deserved every opportunity to live a full life and now is the time to set these things in motion.  If you are still young, it is also wise to think of how you want to live out your next fifty years in some form of financial stability.  Be careful to give your partner equal responsibility for the future as well and don’t take all the credit. You are about ‘equality’; remember?

Scorpio

ScorpioThe Scorpios are out and about making ‘hay while the sun shines’ as the old saying goes.  You are calling in your markers and making sure all your bases are covered.  There is a need for freedom, travel and new experiences which have been haunting you the past few months and you will see a window of opportunity especially after April when you can do just that!  Your sharp and intense perception has caused you to ruffle a few feathers because you also have a sharp and intense way of communicating these to others.  You can be charming when you want something but mostly you see under all intentions and can find fault with the slightest situation.  Your creativity has been at a maximum level and your ability to share this with others, including your children if you have them, is greatly appreciated.  Money and the earning, savings, investing of money will be getting a lift in May and will continue throughout the year with a watchful eye on your part. There may be somewhat of a snafu toward the first of June, but you will handle it and get over it.  Friends have been waiting on you to have some fun and good times again so it might be wise to plan being with friends and enjoying their company….you tend to take life too seriously at times and then you become somewhat of a ‘drag’. Get over it!  You have been really soul searching lately and paying attention to the messages coming to you through dreams and reflections.  It might be a good idea to write these things down and get ready for Saturn to move into Scorpio later in the year….this will bring about a two and a half year soul searching mania and disciplines needed to be put in place so might as well get started on it without all the pressures of Saturn hanging out in your department.  Certain things about you have to change and these changes will cause your outer environment to change as well, in the areas of relationships, work and home.  Get ready…it is always a good idea to be prepared so there are no surprises.  You are a sharp cookie, so keep sharpening up!

Sagittarius

SagittariusSagittarians are having their ups and downs, almost like a roller coaster.  Changes seem to be happening daily, so much so that their heads are spinning at the end of the day.  Many new opportunities will be presenting themselves this summer, especially after the eclipses the end of May and beginning of June, so keep your eyes open and make sure you read the signs with the best of your intuition.  Making, spending and investing monies have really been a focal point this year, and now it is time to take an accounting of what all this means and you are the only one who derives meaning out of all of this activity.  You are a multi-talented individual and now it is time to focus in on a few of your more excellent qualities to capitalize on these.  You have been concerned about how you handle your own authority in decision making processes; this needs to be tweaked in a big way, always remembering to honor your own decisions before others close to you. Boundaries and appropriate friendships have been a discerning factor since January and you might have had to retreat from loved ones and people who are your best friends, just so you can find yourself in the process. Meditation, prayer, solitary activities have been important in order for you to self-reflect and get a handle on how you are perceived, not only by others but by yourself as well.  Finding solitude in your home might also help you rearrange your immediate environment to feng shui with your current energies.  Also going to some more rituals, yoga, church, drumming, Native American types of activities will help in getting you back to your ‘center’.  You are a creative gypsy at heart and dancing and music might be of great help to you, even belly-dancing might increase your love life and get you in touch with more of your instinctual self.  Remember you can only give to others with the same regard you give to yourself so focus on your internal processes and learn to love unconditionally!

Capricorn

CapricornCapricorns have been unsettled by the mood swings of late and are learning how the other signs might be more emotionally involved in their lives that they, as Cappy’s have been.  It is important to remember that above all else Capricorns must save ‘face’ to those around them and they cannot show their more vulnerable underbellies even though their families and loved ones know them well.  Getting intensely involved in a new project or a new study of some kind may take the ‘heat’ off of the moment, but, at the end of the day, what is left for the Capricorn to confront about the internal workings of their own emotions and feelings?  Much of the private life of a Capricorn is unknown to those around him/her, however you can rest assured that he/she will be trying to handle the intense changes that are about to cause a sense of ‘overwhelm’.  The ability to foresee changes and be prepared has always been the ‘saving grace’ of most Capricorns and now, those boundaries seem to be threatened.  If this is not happening to the Cappy, it is happening to the partner or in the business partnership to some degree so you can’t get off the hook on this one.  Changes need to occur in the way you handle your life and the ‘allowing’ of energies to come forth inside of yourself in order to be ‘at peace’ to some degree.  You might find that your blood pressure or health, in some way, fluctuates greatly and that is because when we don’t confront our unconscious, it usually shows up in the body, through addictions to drugs, alcohol, food, work, you name it!  See if you are being honest with yourself about all of this, or you might ask your partner if he/she sees where you might be able to help yourself.  This is your most intense time and it is for you to confront the very issues in your life that keep you from feeling successful and useful to others and by others.  There might come a time during the summer when you need to have a minor surgical procedure, so don’t put this off, get it over with and all will be well.  If you postpone health issues, they only grow to be a monumental hurdle in the future.  Make sure that your investments are secure and that you are prepared for the next ten years or more. That is where your talent lies in saving, investing and security needs.  You will see that you have a handle on the future if these things are taken care of and you will find that your family can survive the 2012 phenomena all the way around.

Aquarius

AquariusAquarians have been less confused about their purpose and what path they are on; they really have a handle on what to do next to manifest the positive sides of their lives.  Money situations will improve greatly along with the ability to ‘receive’ and ‘allow’ money to come into your possession for ‘any’ reason, not just ‘according to your plan’.  Your dreams will be manifested when you get out of your own way and allow the universe to be your guide; your dreams, your fantasies and above all your fate.  It might be wise to decide on how you will invest this windfall when it comes your way and even more so, how will you save it for a rainy day, retirement or for some trip you have been looking forward to….all possibilities are on ‘go’.  It is time to pay attention to what you have been ideally trying to create the past ten years and be open to those ‘creations’ to come forward in a big way, leaving more room for growth beyond your wildest imaginings.  You have had some issues around partnerships of late and it might be time for you to be ‘exacting’ in contracts, either written or verbal, as to what to expect from those partners. This goes for loved ones as well, so that you do not get taken advantage of, but instead can operate with honesty and commitment from all sides.  You have had a tendency to ‘see only what you wanted to see’ even when others tell you the truth of what is happening. Now, you are ready to accept the truth and move forward.  Make sure you are eating properly and at the right times and not using food as an addiction or as something that will ‘slow you down’.  You might have to take many short trips in the near future and so it will help if you take special care to have a vehicle that can manage the number of trips you need to take, this same aspect from the stars also affects communications and it might be that you have to settle up with members of the family who have not really been there for you.  You cannot be everything to everybody and I think you have learned that lesson well the past few years, haven’t you?  You might have to take care of a loved one or a parent who is in need of care and tending. This will be something that is not going to slow you down so much, as it is to force you to plan and move forward with care and patience.  Your partner, if you have one, is concerned about finances and ability to save for retirement. The money will be there, but it will take some maneuvering on all participants in the plan.  You will have a very productive next three months so stay tuned!

Pisces

PiscesPisces is following his/her star to the finish line. It is time for the creativity in the Pisces to come forth into a reality.  You are not just a ‘dreamer’ you are a manifesting ‘principle’ at this point in time.  You have put many factors in your life ‘on hold’ and now it is time to move forward; this goes for health, emotional welfare, confrontations with partners, etc.  You have the ability now to get specific as to what you need in your life to make you successful in any endeavor so get started and the way will be cleared by you and for you the middle of April onward.  Your partner is confused by you and has not treated you well, but now there is no question as to who you are and what you want so makes sure your partner understands this well and does not leave you out of any equation that involves the partnership.  You probably need to handle some health issues you have put on ‘hold’ and those things need to be addressed in the next couple of months…..it is difficult to diagnose symptoms of a Pisces so it always best to get several professional opinions as to which course to take.  Be very cautious with alcohol or any drugs in the next few months as well or all of the good things you do will be sabotaged by your efforts if you become a ‘user’.  Your family needs you to be clear and exact about decisions involving their futures as well, so don’t cop out and act as if the decision making processes don’t include you. They do and you know that!  You can set your boundaries straight and be for ‘yourself’ and for ‘others’ as long as you understand the difference.  If you are considering a separation or divorce at this juncture of your life, please hold off until you are sure all bases have been covered, counseling, spiritual help, communication and intimate issues.  You have isolated yourself from some of the more meaningful things happening around you and it will take some time for you to see things as they ‘really are’ rather than how you ‘want them to be’.  Take care to see you have creative and solitary time to yourself each day as that will be necessary to manifest your dreams and creativity into realities!

How are the solar storms affecting you?

Solar StormsAn in depth Astrocast was put out for January, February and March earlier, so for the months of February and March, we will keep note of the major occurrences that will affect all of us in a brief Astrocast. Find the full Astrocast for the quarter here.

The month of February we have some situations in the stars that might affect your planning for the month. Jupiter in Taurus is conjunct the moon ending January in a good space to help us make more money and honoring our possessions in an ethical and expansive manner. Neptune’s long awaited exit from Aquarius moving into Pisces will be a major shift for a permanent, fourteen year visit in the sign of Pisces, land of dreams, visions and creative accomplishments. Early Virgo’s and Pisces will feel the shift more than others, while early Sagittarians and Gemini’s will have a bit of angst with this movement. More meditation time needed for sure. On a universal and political level, we might see some major legislation and research done in the area of drugs and integrative medicine.

On February 7th we will be seeing the Full Moon in Leo which will give the fire signs a chance to culminate ideas that were started at the New Moon the last full week of January, the 23rd. That definitely helped early degrees of Aquarius process what they need to have their lives go forward. The New Moon in Pisces will help jump start all of those creative projects that have been mulling around in your head and give some dreams a chance to be lived. Remember that all signs are affected to some degree on New Moons and Full Moons, giving rise to beginnings and endings. The real estate market and weather definitely react to these connections, with a myriad of other situations associated with the Moon’s cycles.

February 7th Saturn turns Rx in Libra, allowing all the Librans to finish up the two plus year’s experience of resolving personal and professional issues that have been tested for the last two years. It will stay in the sign of Libra before moving into Scorpio and helping that sign out, the beginning of October. Librans and Aries, because of the opposition, have learned to deal with health issues, authority problems and relationship commitments in a big way during the last two and a half years.

Mars is still retrograde in Virgo and will remain so until the middle of April so, needless to say, Virgos are learning to ‘reflect’ and do their ‘inner spiritual work’ in a big way. This gives the Virgo a chance to clean up any past issues that hang in their closets and forces them to tell the truth to ‘self’ if no one else. Uranus is causing so many changes in early degree Aries; every day they wake up with a new awareness. This can also affect the opposite sign of early Libra.

Overall we are going through mighty changes as we globally begin to fit into the Whole and think as One rather individuals. How do we affect the changes going on personally and how do our changes affect our planet?
