Astrology can tell you many things. It can tell you what energy is available to an individual and how it’s likely to affect them. It cannot, however, tell you precisely how they will express it. Given the fact that each person has free will a person can express that energy on a continuum of lower to higher. The best predictor for that variable is its past expression, but even that is fallible. I think that is a good thing. What that means to me is that we can learn and grow and improve. The possibility is there. We are not preprogrammed automatons. We are dynamic individuals.

ElsaElsa » Hits You Like A Brick

February 8th, 2012 @ 7:51 am by ElsaElsa

I cop to being really uncomfortable right now. Pluto is station in hard aspect to my natal Mercury and I just know all kinds of dark and/ot dire stuff.  I sense it, or I just know it or whatever.

I feel bad handling this. It’s enough to make me sick because my natal Mercury in in Libra. I can’t tell you how much I like things to be nice.  This is embarrassing to my 8th house but it’s just the way it is. I turn my head when some movie person gets stabbed and I’m sure I always will.

On our recent trip, in a junky antique store, I found a copy of one of the volumes from an old Time Life set: Mysteries of the Unknown – the volume on Psychic Powers. I couldn’t resist it, marked up at a couple of dollars.In chapter one, Beyond the Five Senses there’s a section on Mary Craig Sinclair, second wife of novelist, muckraker and socialist Upton Sinclair. Mary Craig believed she

The Moon leaves Leo for Virgo today, as part of a Mystic Rectangle involving Jupiter, Saturn in exaltation, Chiron and Neptune. Mystic, indeed!

I strongly recommend that you feel your way through today.

Articulate your FEELINGS rather than over-thinking them.

Sagittarian Mind » The Zodiac Sign Blame Game

February 8th, 2012 @ 4:56 am by Sagittarian Mind

“Men at some time are masters of their fates: the fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.”
-William Shakespeare

Astrology is a wonderfully intricate symbolic language. The potential insights which can be derived from it’s responsible use and constructive application are innumerable. Each and every one of us possesses an entire birth chart which can serve us faithfully as a cosmic map.

The chart not only outlines our life purpose and innate potentials, but also the most productive methods and strategies to employ toward the ultimate pinnacle of self-realization.

By consciously using our chart as a tool for self-development, we can also become privy to necessary growth cycles in our lives as represented by transits and progressions. These can provide us with clues to how we must meet the challenges put before us during these times.…

Sharita Star » Saturn Retorgrade in Libra, 2012

February 8th, 2012 @ 4:55 am by Sharita Star

Settling Up With Saturn

07 February to 25 June 2012

Our planet of karmic justice takes his last reflective journey within The Scales, where he has officially been requesting responsibility since July 2010. Almost completing his passage through Libra, at the 29th degree, Saturn has decided it’s time for some necessary retreat.Now, unlike our inner planets, an outer planet’s retrograde such as Saturn is not a complete chaotic change up show that someone like Mercury displays for the collective to experience when he takes a backwards trip. Saturn, being much further out in orbit, will be taking his time to exhibit the lessons he would like us all to pay a little closer attention to. If we comply- we will learn an exorbitant amount from them.

Look back to your life, to the time surrounding 04 November 2011. This

Carole Devine » The Leo/Aquarius Polarity

February 8th, 2012 @ 4:55 am by Carole Devine

Many people don’t realize that the twelve signs of the zodiac are really six sets of polarities and the two signs opposite each other have a great deal in common. It could be said they are two sides of the same coin. I’m going to go through each set over the next few weeks and give you a good understanding of this principle in hopes that it can help you understand others better. Since it is February and Aquarius is influencing us right now, I’ll start with that one.

You can have a heavy influence from ANY sign if you have it rising or your Moon sign, or even if you have planets occupying the houses associated with them—in this case, the fifth house for Leo and the eleventh for Aquarius. Therefore, these may apply to you even if your…

JMW Turner. Snow Storm.

Let me tell you why you haven’t heard from me for a few days.

This is how it was meant to be. I was meant to go out to France on Wednesday and come back Sunday, having graced my elderly parents with my presence, and caused as little disruption to the smooth running of my own household and work routine as possible.

Here’s what really happened. I got there all right, then things began to slide out of order.

On Friday, Neptune roared out of Aquarius, plunging Europe into a deep-freeze.The water in my parents’  house was cut off because the pipes froze. No joke when you want to flush the toilet and you’re having seven guests to lunch. By then I’d already lost…

Kelly Surtees » Moon in Leo and Leaders

February 8th, 2012 @ 4:55 am by Kelly Surtees

Under this bright but at times dramatic Leo Full Moon, I thought you might be inspired by notable public figures who were born with the Moon in Leo.

(While they aren’t all necessarily born with the Moon in Leo in the Full phase, you’ll certainly get a taste of the drive, determination and enduring nature of this Moon sign when you consider some of their achievements!)

Sharita Star » A Quick Word on The Idealist….

February 8th, 2012 @ 4:30 am by Sharita Star

Venus enters Aries

08 February
1:05am EST

The planet of compassion and sensuality is way ahead of everyone and not holding back as she excitedly begins anew upon the Zodiac Wheel. Get ready for some pleasures to give you a preview of the Spring to come where The Ram energizes your life, and be sure to take up with some romantic adventure to bring forth enthusiasm here. Collectively, affections are urged to the impetuous, non-restraint and easy arousals as a smooth harmony can be found through mental activities, devotion to ideals, and concentrating upon the essentials. A straight forward motion happily wishes to display itself as we all can find the means to be just a little more playful within our Winter’s retreat.

While the ongoing Mars Retrograde in Virgo asks for you to stand
