The beginning of our work week starts out emotionally... with another Full moon!

Yes, Monday, Feb. 25, might feel like a roller coaster! The full moon sets the trend early in the day, as we vacillate, between our wants, verses what is being offered. And our Monday, mood takes a beating!

Also the planet Venus, that rules our feelings, and the finer things in life, like beauty, love, and our finance, is completing its yearly cycle in the sign of Aquarius. Any cycle ending, helps us to end cycles of our own. So this Monday's activities, are likely to be connected to our desires, and what we value in our hearts. All making room for the new!

Tuesday, Feb 26, the first full day of a new cycle and influence for Venus! As it is, once again in sensitive companionate Pisces. A time for emotions to be more chameleon like, for the next 24 days. Including a period of time when our imaginations will have a strong hold of our feelings, sense of beauty, and finances.

Accompanying the changing influence of Venus on Tuesday, is a Virgo moon, that takes our thoughts to a practical, how can I change things for the better mood? But an opposition to its ruler Mercury, continues Monday's tendency to vacillate between positive, and negative thinking.

Best key for making a decision wisely, would be to use your inner intuition. A Venus, Neptune, conjunction all day on Tuesday, can make those hunches lucky!

Wednesday, Feb. 27, feelings want to balance out! A Libra moon gives us a calmer more peaceful attitude. A big help during the daylight hours. However, late evening hours the planet Uranus, and our peaceful moon, gets into an opposition! And that can bring unpleasant surprises!

Thursday, Feb. 28, a negative early morning aspect, from a moon Pluto Square, gets our day off to a disruptive start! Slow down and use extra care when driving to work, and guard your temper. Afternoon and evening hours look more positive, and can cool out those strong emotions, ending your day, and the month of Feb.2013, in a more social, and positive way!

Friday, March 1, 2013, a new month! And a moon still in loving Libra greets us, as we are getting ourselves in motion for the day. Enjoy!

However, all moods change into being extra intense, with strong insight, and intuition, just after 12:33 p.m.EST, when the moon enters Scorpio. A very intense time, that increases our need to dig deeply into our inner worlds. So if you have a mystery to solve, or a need to prepare for something, Friday's afternoon hours can give you that extra edge, or input needed.

Our weekend starts out Saturday, March 2, with a serious trend. One you can blame on the moon as it will be in conjunction to the planet Saturn, through most of our morning hours. And even though, that aspect lessons as the day and weekend moves along, our whole weekend, will have an inner intensity that can color all we are doing.

By Saturday evening, and into Sunday, Mach, 3's daylight hours, intuition, and strong desires, can make this weekend a productive one!!!

What in your life, do you want to repair? Get to it, this is the weekend!

Monday, Feb. 18, 2013 for many a Holiday!

Our day begins with a the moon in communicative Gemini, that will be in troublesome aspect to the planet of action Mars.

So if you find your day starting out with, lots of double trouble...you can "Just Blame It On The Stars"

Things improve as the day goes along. Plan your Holiday fun, for latter in the day for best results.

Tuesday, Feb. 19, we welcome the Sun's new position in the sign of Pisces, for it's first full day into that sign, of this year, 2013.

This is the time of year that our intuition and compassion increases naturally!

You may find yourself wanting be more inwardly creative, for the next 29 days. Or wanting to be more involved with helping others.

Though, morning hours look aggravating on Tuesday, due to a moon Mercury Square, the moon still in Gemini, is helpful with matters concerning our heart's desire, as it harmonizes with the plant of love, "Venus" most of the day. Helpful for your general mood, to be out and about communicating and doing things with others.

Wednesday, Feb. 20, is my pick of the week as the most positive all week!

Particularly during the day light hour EST. Beginning early too, as a Sun Moon trine, greets us early morning, helping to make the day's activities move smoothly. Intuition plays a large role in marking your Wednesday a significant one. So play those hunches! Tuesday evening impulsiveness can be dangerous. Slow down!

Thursday, Feb. 21, our moon in its own sign of Cancer...puts the emphasis on your home life.

What area of your home or security is asking for focus? A good influence from Mercury, and Mars to the moon, on Thursday, can help you to accomplish a lot!

Friday, Feb. 22, the planet Mercury, starts to slow down as it prepares to Retrograde! Wow, another period of about three weeks... when we will feel again, to be doing everything, over, and over, and over! But try to remember as we embark these next three weeks, that repeats can be helpful too. It just takes the right frame of mind. Sometimes we just need to cover old ground again, to repair what was not done right, in the first place?

Also on Friday, a homebody mood, can change, drastically by Friday evening, as the moon enters active, look at me, "Leo". So plan to be out with others where you can shine, on Friday evening.

Saturday, Feb. 23, Mercury has its first full impact in its new retrograde cycle. Expect delays, and breakdowns that have already been in the works? You just can't now, not, do something about them. Patience!!! This is not a period of time to make important decissions. Why? Because you well not keep to them!

However, our Leo moon on Saturday, and Sunday, helps us to have a fun weekend! And that fun mood... helps a lot, when you run into old friends.

Sunday, Morning Feb. 24, a moon Venus opposition, can bring those old friends to mind too. Just try to keep those emotions positive, and a live, let live, attitude can make your Sunday, bright. Enjoy!

Monday, February 11, 2013

A serious feel sorry about something mood, can get the best of us as we begin this work week. Venus and Saturn square each other. But

intuition and compassion rule! And the morning hours turn on that trend, big time!

Our Monday morning moon co joins the planet of action, Mars & the planet of thought Mercury, all in the intuitive sign of Pisces as we begin our day from 5- 9 a.m. Est. So pay attention to what your inner hunches are telling you!

 

Also guard against a tendency towards carelessness and overindulgence that will surly bring negative consequences. Including an extra threat of fire!

That is a possible problem on Monday this week too, because Jupiter's influence in the sign of Gemini, challenges the conjunctions of the moon, Mars, and Mercury. Inclining us toward fool hardy behavior, from overconfidence. Like extravagance, overindulgence, and carelessness!

Tuesday, February 12, while still feeling the effects of a Saturn, Venus square, we try to see the bright side of things. It is the continuing Pieces moon increasing our abilities toward fantasies on how we would like things to be. Use your imagination wisely, for big dividends!

Wednesday, February 13, an Aries moon gives our day an energetic push! What is it that you want to get accomplished with your extra energy today? However, keep in mind, what we do in hast, we often regret in leisure! This warning today, is most important for those born under the sign of Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn.

Thursday, Feb. 14, Valentines day! A fire Aries moon gives you the drive to pursue your hearts desire! And to say, "I love you"! Nice!

Even the color red is in sync today, and that includes the giving of red hearts, and RED Roses! Also perfect that our passionate Aries moon goes, harmoniously into the evening hour too. Bringing many romantic get together's and smiles, Thursday night.

Friday, Feb. 15...energies cool down as a Taurus moon greets us early morning. That is a moon that can bring our practicalities into focus. So Friday, expect to feel more determined towards improving your security? Whatever that means to you.

Ideas and practical thoughts towards

putting things in motion, that can grow and increase begin, and follow you, right into your weekend.

Is that plans for your future vacation? A savings account? Or is it the fun of planning for your future spring garden? Whatever you are doing on Saturday, Feb 16, and Sunday Feb. 17, All thoughts seem to be thinking, I can't wait for spring.

This week I am again giving you some insight for what is happening in our "Stars" from Astrology.com!

A Week of Confusion.

 

Nothing is as it seems this week. First, take time to carefully consider your dreams and goals as Mars conjuncts Neptune in Pisces on February 4. Soon after, you may not be able to determine who's telling the truth when communication planet Mercury enters imaginative Pisces on February 5 and conjuncts Neptune on February 6. Be careful, for what you say could add to all the confusion as Mercury and Mars conjunct in Pisces on February 8. Finally, a new Moon in Aquarius on February 9 brings a fresh start!

February 4: Mars conjuncts Neptune
When Mars, the planet of action and desire, meets Neptune, the planet of spirituality and idealism, your dreams become a powerful motivating force in your life. Still, your goals need a big dose of practicality and common sense to succeed. This is an aspect of manifestation, and if you can recognize the difference between fantasy and dream -- perhaps you're willing to work hard for a dream, but not a fantasy -- you'll make good progress.
February 5: Mercury enters Pisces
February 6: Mercury conjuncts Neptune
Get ready for a double dose of idealism -- or deception -- as the communication planet enters dreamy Pisces and conjuncts imaginative Neptune. Since nothing seems clear now, this is a terrible time to sign contracts or otherwise enter into agreements. Be aware of deals that seem too good to be true, as they probably are! However, these cosmic events present wonderful opportunities to seek inspiration by listening to beautiful music, taking a walk in the park, recording your thoughts in a journal, or just sitting and gazing as you daydream. Simply take everything in that's going on around you without trying to solve anything.

February 8: Mercury conjuncts Mars
Ordinarily, this aspect would cause you and others to become argumentative. However, since Mercury and Mars are both in Pisces and conjunct Neptune, it seems like nobody can keep track of who's saying what to whom! Misunderstandings and deception can cause problems right now, so if you have a great idea you want to share with others, save it for another time when communication lines are clearer.

February 9: New Moon in Aquarius
Teamwork is key right now, so you'll be most successful by working with groups, investing in your community, and simply spending more time with friends. This is no time to isolate yourself! The new Moon offers a fresh beginning, making this a great time to pursue your goals. In fact, the Moon squares the North Node in Scorpio and South Node in Taurus, so make sure you handle your money wisely, as financial transactions are highlighted during this time. The current overall pattern of planets shows that people are not always what they seem, so proceed with caution -- especially if money is involved. Finally, the annual new Moon in Aquarius also marks the Chinese New Year, and this year heralds the Year of the Water Snake!

This weeks Astro- News, from Astrology.com

New Territory!This is a week of mixed messages. On January 30, Jupiter turns direct in Gemini, when ideas you've been working on are ready to move forward. However, the Sun squares Saturn that same day, injecting a note of caution. When Mars enters Pisces on February 1, you're ready to start something new. Also on February 1, Venus enters Aquarius, a transit that shows you're ready to breathe new life into your relationships.

January 30: Jupiter turns direct
Jupiter in Gemini has been generating a ton of ideas in recent months, so it may seem as if everyone has something to say! Figuring out what's true, exaggerated, or downright false has been an important task throughout Jupiter's nearly four-month retrograde period. Some of your ideas and projects have been on hold as you've hopefully spent time redefining them; others have simply been let go. You may have even experienced a major lifestyle change recently. Now, as this big planet turns direct, you're ready to move forward with everything you've learned.

January 30: The Sun squares Saturn
As the Sun squares the taskmaster planet, it's time to assess your plans to ensure they're solid. Take care of loose ends; double-check your facts. Don't waste your energy in people or projects no longer adding value to your life. Saturn offers a reality check, prompting you to weigh your responsibilities so you can weed out whatever isn't working as you shore up what's most important to you. If you keep the long-term view foremost in your mind, you'll make good decisions.

February 1: Mars enters Pisces
Mars, planet of action and desire, sets a new course now as it energizes the zodiac's most imaginative and spiritual sign, Pisces. This is a wonderful placement for pursuing your dreams and goals ... just don't count on logic or clarity to offer assistance! Rather, you'll have to trust your intuition. Mars loves activity, and in this Water sign, you'll do best if you simply go with the flow and, above all, remain flexible so you can adapt to changing circumstances. Mars will remain in Pisces until March 12, so if you're familiar with your birth chart, check the areas of your life Mars is activating during the next six or so weeks, then invest appropriately.

February 1: Venus enters Aquarius
We fall in love for all kinds of reasons, but we usually choose our friends because of shared values. Venus is the planet of love, and Aquarius is the sign of friendship, so when the planet that rules relationships enters the sign that rules friendships, your feelings for a friend may develop into something more. Or, perhaps your friendship intensifies with someone you love. If you're single and want to find your soul mate, go to events and parties where you'll meet like-minded people. If you're in a committed relationship, find an activity that you both like -- and watch your friendship deepen!

I'm Back! And Happy to bring you this weeks...
        "It's In The Stars"

 

Opportunities, abound, as we start out this week of Monday Jan 21, in the New Year of 2013!

Yes today's Inaugural day, is a great day to set trends that are positive!

Wonderful to have good energies to dictate the inaugural activities.

All due to lucky positive planetary aspects! Like the luck planet Jupiter, in positive conjunction to our day's moon in Gemini. With that Gemini moon also harmonizing to the Sun, and the planet of communication, Mercury, both newly into the humanitarian sign of Aquarius. Nice!

Aspects indicating help for your day to be a mostly positive one too.

In fact so good, it is my pick of the week to feel good, and make progress towards long sought after goals. And for many in our great nation, we enjoy a much needed day off, as we celebrate Martin Luther King Holiday!

 

Tuesday, Jan. 22, and Wednesday, Jan. 23 also tend to be mostly good, as new trend that had their starts on Monday, take hold.
 

Thursday, Jan. 24, changes our peaceful out look on things, as the moon in sensitive Cancer, conflicts us to any feeling of restriction, when it challenges the planet of freedom Uranus, in our morning hours EST.

What it can do in your life, is make you impulsive, and over react.

So slow down, and count to ten, before you act, is your best defense!
 

Friday, Jan. 25, emotions are controlled through your activities with others. Feeling emotional will be the norm.

Make decisions based only on what you know is best for, YOU. The moon and the planet of love, and money Venus, is in a tug of war aspect, called an opposition.

Saturday, Jan. 26, our moods recover towards being more active as a Leo, fire moon, takes the day's rein.

And a full Leo, fire moon, makes our weekend, one that we will want to socialize! Best to try to make a fun plan, to be out and about with others, on Saturday, and Sunday, Jan. 27. A weekend to,  Enjoy!

Taking some time off traveling, over the Holidays.

However, I am leaving you in good hands!

This is what Astrology.com, has to say for this time period.

December 25: Mars enters Aquarius.Aquarius is the most independent sign of the zodiac, while Mars is an action planet that represents how you go after what you want, as well as how you act on your desires. This transit gives you not only the determination, but also the courage to set your own course -- even if others don't necessarily support what you want. But if you remain true to yourself, you'll be able to use this powerful energy to help you succeed. Mars will remain in Aquarius until February 2, 2013.

December 26: Saturn sextiles Pluto
Do you want to make your mark in the world? In this helpful aspect, authoritative Saturn and powerful Pluto connect you to influential people who can help you! Discipline is about to be rewarded, and those who have proven themselves will receive plenty of opportunities. If you use this time wisely to invest in yourself -- and others -- you'll go far!

December 28: Full Moon in Cancer
What makes you feel safe, strong and secure? The ongoing Pluto-Uranus square is featured during this powerful full Moon, as Pluto conjuncts the Capricorn Sun while Uranus squares both the Sun and Moon. You're challenged now to balance your professional goals with your personal desires, and to cultivate flexibility in the face of changes occurring all around you. Invest in your career, but also do what you can to take care of your personal needs and those of your family. In the days following this full Moon, but before the next new Moon, form a plan that will maximize what's going well for you while allowing for changes that will make you feel more comfortable.

December 31: Mercury enters Capricorn
What are your goals for the year ahead? This transit helps you focus on practical details. Take a sensible and logical approach to everything now, whether you're deciding where you want to commit your resources, how you want to spend your money or which projects to take on. Share your ideas with those you trust, for they can help you create a workable plan. Mercury remains in Capricorn until January 20.

January 3: Mercury squares Uranus
Unexpected news, interesting conversations, flashes of brilliance and lightbulb-idea moments are all part of this dynamic transit as the messenger planet, Mercury, encounters eccentric Uranus. While you may feel like you're operating on information overload, there are still nuggets of gold in the seemingly overwhelming data stream you can mine to your advantage -- so pay attention!

January 4: Mars trines Jupiter
This aspect blesses you with loads of confidence, energy and optimism! Mars in Aquarius urges you to carve your own unique path, while Jupiter in Gemini supplies you with all the information you need to succeed. Don't let any bumps in the road stop you -- you have everything you need to move your goals forward now. Don't waste this chance!

January 6: Mercury conjuncts Pluto and sextiles Saturn
There's nothing superficial about this combination! If there's a mystery to be solved or information you need, you'll stop at nothing until you get the answers that satisfy you. And because of your determination, the sound advice you receive and your conversations with experienced individuals, you have a wonderful opportunity to improve your life. This a perfect time to schedule a meeting, send out a resumé or sign a contract.

January 7: Mars squares Saturn
This aspect is all about hard work, and you'll definitely need to overcome a few obstacles today. And while you'll want to be realistic about what's indeed possible, you'll make impressive progress if you can simply stay the course. Be grateful for the gains you've already made, and make sure you don't push forward against insurmountable odds. If you can read your environment smartly -- including any and all people you encounter -- you'll know what to do. Seek alternative paths if necessary, and don't hesitate to delay your plans if it's the sensible thing to do.

January 8: Venus enters Capricorn
With the planet of love in this ever-serious sign, you won't want to play any guessing games when it comes to your love life! Capricorn relishes nothing more than a real commitment, and those with staying power will be ready to make one. Romantic evenings and promises of love are wonderful, but this is a placement looking for tangible promises. If you don't feel as if you're getting a fair return on your time, energy, and heart investment, you may want to assess your relationship. If you're single, this is an excellent time to attend events where you can hopefully meet like-minded people. For those already committed, have you thought of renewing your vows? Venus remains in Capricorn until February 1.

January 11: New Moon in Capricorn
What a powerful time to create a new goal -- or even rework an old one! With the communication planet, Mercury, joining the Sun and Moon in ambitious Capricorn, you'll make significant progress if you take time to break down your primary goal into a step-by-step plan. As the Moon gives off increased light between its new and full phases, be sure to put energy into anything you'd like to see grow or become stronger in your life. Then, at the next full Moon (on January 26), you'll have a chance to step back and see how far you've come! Abraham Lincoln famously said, "Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way." Stated like a true Capricorn!

January 14: Venus quincunxes Jupiter
January 16: Venus conjuncts Pluto
January 17: Venus sextiles Saturn
This is not a week to be alone as Venus in Capricorn makes a series of dynamic aspects! First, as Venus quincunxes Jupiter in Gemini, you'll need to speak up to be heard -- people are very talkative this week. Two days later, you'll connect intensely with those you meet as Venus conjuncts Pluto; love matches often occur during this powerful aspect! Finally, once Venus sextiles Saturn, people in positions to help will open doors for you, allowing you to connect with further influential people. Make sure you express your appreciation!

January 19: Mercury enters Aquarius
The communication planet's entrance into this avant-garde sign stimulates your mind and introduces you to forward-thinking people. It's time to sweep old ideas into the dustbin and allow all the recent changes in your life to inspire you to try something new. If you know the house in your chart through which Mercury is moving, apply fresh ideas to that specific area of your life. Mercury travels through Aquarius until January 20.

Enjoy the Sun's transit through Capricorn!

I'll be back the week of Jan. 20!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year 2013, everyone!
