Does life feel a bit hectic for you? Are you finding schedules or plans changing unexpectedly? Are things being said that surprise, shock or liberate you?

It’s been a full on few days since the Equinox, as the Sun, crossing into Libra, a cardinal sign, activated both unpredictable Uranus (this past weekend) and will soon square off with power planet Pluto.

Before the Sun squares Pluto, curious Mercury, who’s following closely in the Sun’s footsteps, faces off with Uranus (by  opposition). This is a classic cosmic ‘foot in mouth’ alignment, that, while encouraging the spontaneous sharing of ideas, brings a reminder to consider the ripple effect sharing unconventional perspectives may have.

Mercury is a planet linked to communication, business and general organisation so the next 24 – 48 hours are likely to bring changes + twists and turns in these areas of…

New Moon in Libra, Sept.27, 2011 at 7:09 am EDT, Washington DC

The New Moon appears in the 12th House (refer to chart) Non USA members can set up a New Moon chart for the capital of their country. Textbook 4, page 30 of the Textbook For Financial Astrology, will help with interpretation the New Moon chart. (Note the house position of the New Moon in the chart in the capital of the country.)

The focus of the Libra New Moon is on charity and government institutions and both will dominate the news. Commodity prices will continue to be volatile.…

I set my orange flowers in a boat and send them off to heaven.
I feel heaven raining down in drops of orange-scented love.

This song is meant to be sung with the first line repeating 8 times, followed by 8 repetitions of the second line. That form is inspired by the singing I’ve been doing at the Kirtan and Meditation I go to twice a month. Devotional singing/chanting does not need variety, so much as devotion! The meaning is not lost through repetition, it is transcended, so that the true meaning can be reached, the meaning beyond the words, or the sounds. I would post an .mp3 file of me singing this for you (so you could hear the melody) but I feel you readers have earned the right to transcend my broken singing voice. The…

September 27 New Moon 5 degrees Libra

Some of the indecisiveness typical under a Libra New Moon is given the heave ho by confident Mars, who makes a supportive sextile link to the New Moon.  It’s possible to push forward with personal plans while still keeping the peace – all that’s required is a little negotiation.

Mercury, also in Libra, provides diplomacy and tact. If you’re open/willing to work with others, your dreams might be one step closer to reality.

A positive Venus/Saturn link shortly after this New Moon shows that a new cycle in mature and conscious relating is possible.  Boundaries in love can create more affection – try it and see!

The spotlight is on Libra this week with the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn plus the New Moon in Libra. The cardinal signs rule right now because both Aries and Capricorn (where Uranus and Pluto currently live) are cardinal signs too. People will be pushing their agendas but in a Libra manner . . . “you first – no, YOU first”.

All of Libra’s strengths and weakness will be on display from their habit of taking plenty of time to make decisions to insisting on equity and justice for everyone. Due to the lack [...]

My husband told me this morning that he wished he could go back in time and fix some things about my early education. For one thing, he said he would have forced me to take naps in 1st grade, the way he did because he does not like my inability to nap and my lack of appreciation for an afternoon nap. He also said, he thinks I should have been taught to embroider – forced to slowly make all these little stitches. I stared at him, horrified.

My partner makes me laugh – a lot. He has Mercury, the trickster, and Uranus, an even zanier fellow, conjunct on his Ascendant. Today he sent me two emails.

The first contained a link to the Tate gallery in London. To get it click here.

The second contained this message (which I feel may have a significant impact on our relationship.)

Wasn’t he lovely.

The zangly-jangly configuration of planets that’s been causing us all so much surprise, change and more change this year is zapping the Sun right now and the New Moon at the end of the week. So be prepared for some, well, novelty.

What’s more Mars is tweaking Pluto’s nose, which is bound to put the god of the Underworld in a bit of temper. There are bound to be surprises.

The only way to go these days is with the changes.

But this time around though, there are a couple of pleasant angles, which may show a temporarily smoother way ahead. Even if our beloved leaders fail to pull their collective fingers out and do something, maybe we can.

First of all, Mars the action planet,…
