Aurum Astrology » EnJOYment

May 13th, 2013 @ 4:33 am by Aurum Astrology

Todays Moon in friendly Gemini meets Jupiter to bring us all some much needed respite from the continuous intensity and change of our tumultuous times. It’s a lighter note after two pretty powerful eclipses which are still reverberating out into the cosmic atmosphere. Venus is also now in Gemini making us more social  and chatty.

Jupiter in Gemini expands our thinking and communication and with the added emotional input from the Moon its party time. Jupiter equals joy and expansion… so enJOY!

Or time for a good ol’ chat with yer mom.

Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there!

I am a mom x three and also a grand mom x three and today I get to see my new granddaughter and hang out with her for a while.

Being a mom has been the most blessed and…

ElsaElsa » Live Your Sun: It’s Your Life Force

May 12th, 2013 @ 12:45 pm by ElsaElsa

Many years ago, I coined a phrase: “Live your sun, satisfy your moon.” If you can manage these two things, you’ll be well on your way towards enjoying a fulfilling life

Your sun represents your vital life energy. It seems it would be automatically expressed, but this is not always the case. I want to cover this today.

Your sun has to do with your vocation in life. It shows how your vital life energy is best expressed.

Jupiter Squares - Cancer, Capricorn, Aries and Libra This weekend I’m going to depart from the normal format to discuss Jupiter’s travels through the zodiac … and how that causes bumps and slumps in groups of stocks.

In tech-speak, we call it “sector rotation”. We’ve all seen it in action; investors seem to fall in love with stocks in particular groupings and they fly into the sky like Icacrus … before their popularity fades and they tumble back down to earth.

Well, we can forecast this by watching Jupiter.

I first learned this from my old friend, the late Kaye Shinker, one of the real pioneers of research into financial astrology at a practical level.

I will explain it as simply as possible. The principle behind Jupiter symbolism is to “expand” whatever it touches. The down-to-earth meaning is that Jupiter will increase either the demand…

Mercury is in Gemini

from May 15 – May 31, 2013

After spending several weeks in the cautious, pragmatic and contemplative sign of Taurus, Mercury  returns to Gemini and the comfort of his own home.

While his wings weren’t exactly clipped during his passage in Taurus, he was certainly forced to slow down as his restless spirit was restrained by the slow and steady nature of the bull. Although Mercury assumes strong powers of discrimination when he wears the practical hat of Virgo, he much prefers to feel his hair being tousled by the winds of change.

Mercury is the natural ruler of the third house and while in the airy and inquisitive sign of Gemini, he reminds us that we need to grow on an intellectual level. Whereas the second house focuses on physical assets, the third…

O Lightning » Harsh Transits of Pluto

Harsh Transits of Pluto.

Pluto transits are not one size fits all.

Pluto in easy aspect to your natal chart can be clarifying,
empowering, sustaining, and rewarding.
Particularly if you have a good working relationship with your Pluto already.
You can be nourished at a deep level and increase in power, capacity and DEPTH.

Anyone who has ever been loved by a Scorpio
or serious 8th house type, will know just what I mean.
This is not about those transits.

This is for the unsuspecting, the blindsided,
those who darkness follows for it’s own deep mathematics:
This Post is for the HARSH TRANSITS of Pluto.
Pluto as Kali. The devastator, and the re-maker of lives.

Let me explain,

Once upon a time, I thought I could make something happen,

Yesterday’s post about Gemini read as negative (to one of my Gemini readers). But the fact that I’m writing about this is one of the great things about Gemini. There is a stereotype that all Geminis play fast and loose with the … Continue reading →

After spending the past few weeks in Taurus taking pleasure in sensual delights, Venus decided it was time to relieve her senses and indulge her mind.

As the planet of love, Venus is inspired to express her affections in every sign and element, so with her physical appetites sated, she headed straight into Gemini to give new meaning to the phrase “attraction begins in the mind.”

Although the goddess of love is known for her earthy side, her Libra rulership makes this pleasure-loving planet very much at home in Gemini’s airy world.

Consequently, during the next few weeks Venus will work all the rooms as she seeks to charm the rest of the zodiac with her witty repartee.

Gemini is a restless, curious sign, so while Venus is here she behaves much like the bee that samples the nectar of…

Happy Solar Return, Mr Taurus!

Happy Solar Return, Mr Taurus!

© Diane Lang

My Taurus grandson turned two this past week and of course I looked at his Solar Return. Talk about the “terrible twos”! He has Sun, Mars and Mercury in Taurus widely opposing Saturn in Scorpio with the Moon conjunct Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn. Mom is going to think her child only knows one word for the next year . . . “NO”.

With a preponderance in fixed earth this little guy will be even more stubborn in a rather passive way. [...]
