1933- Willie Nelson
Sun in Taurus/Moon
enters Virgo
Planetary ruler for
Monday- Moon
Happy Birthday:
1982- Kirsten Dunst,
1945- Anne Dillard, 1933 Willie Nelson,
The Moon will be
void-of course until she enters Virgo this evening (7:02pm EST), so it is not
the time to enter into type of contract or agreement that you want to stay
binding. If you must commit to anything, make sure that you read the fine print
and be on the lookout for any loopholes that could trip you up later. After the
Moon enters Virgo the energy will be much steadier, so put important plans or
pressing communication for later tonight or tomorrow if possible. However, if
you want to get out of something, today’s energy is perfect for finding yourself
an escape route.

Shivashakti – male and female energies combine in one body.

The asteroids – Ceres, Juno, Vesta and Pallas, named for four of the great goddesses of Olympus – were actually discovered before the outer planets Neptune and Pluto. But you wouldn’t think so, given the amount of attention astrologers paid to them for the next 200 years or so. That is – almost no attention at all.

I’ve always found this odd, since the asteroids so clearly fill a huge, yawning gender gap in astrology – at least nominally.  The traditional planets have a 5-2 balance in favour of the masculine, but once the three new outer planets were added in the 19th and 20th centuries, that balance shifted to 8-2.

Now I don’t believe that’s a good representation of the human spirit, do you? Or even of life …

My whole family is hard hit by the Uranus Pluto transit. My husband has a harsh Cardinal (Mars, Mercury, Saturn) T-square and the current happening is he’s in intense pain. We don’t know why. It came out of nowhere.

As we are at the very beginning of the twenty first century and the time seems to be rapidly approaching the next century, we need to realize that nothing is ever going to have its usual or regular cycle that we will have become accustomed to, as that reliability has seem to have flown out of the window.  The norm or the customary has lost its allure to the cyber generation, whom are always seeking the new, innovative, and the must have.  So the erratic and the unusual will become their common place to hold their interest and attention, which is not surprising and to be expected in this world, which is changing as quickly as the velocity of sound.  This can be seen with the economical situation which seems to be winding its way up and down in an …

Aurum Astrology » Taurus is Mother Earth

April 29th, 2012 @ 6:44 pm by Aurum Astrology

It’s nice to be back here on my blog after two weeks hiatus. I have been way off any semblance of a regular posting schedule for several months now. Health issues are sidetracking me to some degree (no astro pun intended!!)
Saturn squaring my Sun may be to blame in part (Saturn slows things down, can trigger health issues, create restrictions etc. Sun = self, and also squares Mercury very close by… which rules self-expression. Sigh!)
I will try my best to be more consistent though cannot promise anything more than my most sincere effort.
I mentioned earlier that Mars turning direct can bring up information previously hidden (or any planet turning direct after a retrograde period) Mars in Virgo moving direct has unearthed some very crucial information re my own health issues which in the long run will mean …

Planetary ruler for
Sunday- Sun

The Moon is in a very
social mood as she aspects 5 planets, the Sun and the asteroid Chiron in the
early morning hours. This can make for a lot of emotional ups and downs, so
give yourself a little extra time upon waking and starting the day. The Sun’s
morning trine to (5:34amEST) Pluto can make it easier to identify issues in our
lives that are not working. This energy can help us transform old worn out
habits into creative new routines that actually do us some personal good.
Communicating our ideas to others will go smoothly at this time and cooperation
with these changes will be forthcoming, so ask for

I covered the Full Moon in detail, in combination with Saturn opposing Mercury here:  Saturn Opposes Mercury Under The Full Moon In Scorpio –Avoiding Mayhem, Maximizing Potential. Be sure to read that, but I also wanted to write about the Full Moon in isolation because it’s so rich.

Here we are at the First Quarter Square Moon. It’s a turning point. Let me explain: one week ago we moved into a new lunar phase (called the New Moon), at which point you likely established some goals. That was a seed moment, when the Sun and Moon united. Now that the Moon has traveled [...]

Facing the fire is what we can experience as Moon trines electric Uranus and logical Mercury today. The cosmos support our need to be real and true. Happiness is found when we make sense and follow our heart. Sun trines empowering Pluto rx today, breathing new life into our soul. The poison has been extracted and we’re no longer lost and in the dark. An explosion of energy strikes us with healing rays. Just as a strong oak tree embraces the storm, we’ve survived the nightmare. What had once been toxic; rots and falls away, with new signs of growth. “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood”. Marie Curie. Tarot guidance from The Chariot rx, Wheel of Fortune rx: Perhaps it was bad luck.. or just poor vision.…
