"It's In the Stars", by Valerie Greene

Wow... As the planet Mercury begins its normal forward direction, on Sept. 22, 2016 at 1:30 AM, EDT. It looks like the planets will have us on a bit of a roller coaster ride for the next few days!

 

You see the Sun, just entering Libra, is also happening on Sept 22, at 10:21 AM, EDT! 

 

 Giving us our first official day of fall, called "Autumnal Equinox"! Those two very important happenings, set cycles that will be with us for awhile. And would be enough to shake things up a bit.

 

 But the very next day, on Sept 23, at 10:51 AM EDT the planet of love, that also rules our finances, Venus, will begin its yearly trek in the sign of Scorpio! 

 

 Then just three days latter, on Sept 26, the heavy disruptive planet Pluto, will go direct again, at 11:02 AM EDT after back tracking since April 13, 2016.

 

Adding more change to this Astrological brew! The slower moving planet of energy and passion, Mars, will enter the sober sign Capricorn the next day,  on Sept 27, at 4:07 AM.EDT!

 

 Oh my! I know you must be thinking? what does all this mean to me? How to cope? And what to watch out for?

 

First off, remember that when the planet Mercury first changes direction, going direct or retrograding it is the most disruptive. So use extra patience when dealing with communication, or traveling! And if you can, do not make any important decisions or signing of important papers...

 

Second: The season of Fall begins....with a Gemini moon, also giving another tie to communication glitches. Guard against getting pulled into arguments! True for all signs to be careful of, but most significant to the

 signs of Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Virgo to keep in mind.

 

Third: Venus newly into Scorpio? Begins with a harmonist trine to the moon that day! Helping the water signs to have new romantic and financial opportunities, until Oct. 17, They are the signs of Scorpio, Cancer, and Pisces.

 

Fourth! Pluto direct...brings things to the surface at last that have been brewing and on hold! The first few days of Pluto moving forward, will be news worthy for sure! With a few surprises?

 

 Lastly...the fifth Astro change in 6 days....

The planet Mars changing signs into Capricorn?

Not easy time to avoid arguments and accidents for the first few days of its cycle.

 

 Slow down and think! Mars in cool Capricorn will tangle with the Sun in peace loving Libra! Leading to bruised egos and fool hardy behavior that can bring violence. keep safety in mind, do not get baited into arguments.

 

True for all sun signs but most important for the signs of Aries, Libra, and Cancer to remember!

 

Yes, an Astrological roller coaster few days! But for warned is for armed! Now you will have a heads up, to make it an easy ride after all!

Happy safe Autumn, everyone!

Feeling a bit aggravated as you find yourself doing many do overs?

Yes, it is in the Stars! As the planet Mercury today, Aug. 30, 2016, went retrograde again, at 9:04 a.m. EDT.

This cycle that happens about three times a year, can be trying?

 It gives us those do overs, because Mercury, rules our thoughts, including the decisions that come from them. And all our working, and the running of our machinery!

Like the family car? Or those important appliances  that have been showing signs of wear? Therefore, when Mercury retrogrades it brings those areas of life that are breaking down, or past mistakes to our immediate attention!

 Like it or not, Mercury in retrograde has its value.

 Even though it does cause a lot of confusion, changing of your mind, and aggravating mistakes with any kind of communicating? Yes, effecting your day and your important work life!

Mercury will be in retrograde until it gets backs to its normal direction on Sept 22, at 1:30 AM. And then continue its Virgo influence until Mercury will enter, Libra, on Oct 7, 2016, at 3:55 AM.

However, its influence is always the most intense the first few days as it changes signs, or goes back to its normal direction.

And that would be Today, through Friday, Sept 2, 2016... and again as Mercury goes direct again, Sept 22..thru Sept 25.

How to cope? Guard your decisions. Try not to make any important ones, at this time! And avoid making any plans that must happen, because Mercury in retrograde changes many things, including your mind!

Now about the good of a Mercury in retrograde?

As I said before, it help us to at last take care of those issues that need our attention.

 And it also helps us to go back in time to rethink old ideas. Including the nice effect of reconnecting  to old friends!

 Which can seem to come out of the blue? Like running into an old friend? Or a sudden desire to connect to an old friend, to clear up any hurt feeling? And then the nice effect renewing old friendships? Or love ties?

So yes, we are in for a three week period of rethinking and confusion when trying to make our daily plans?

 But on the plus side, a three week cycle of the chance to put back together, what was lost, or not handled properly, from our past! Nice!  Try to Make it work for you!

It Is In The Stars

Feeling a bit edgy lately? There is a reason! Yes it is in the Stars! All starting today!

 

 Firstly, as I write this, July 29, 2016, the planet that rules innovation, and freedom Uranus, has come to a stand still as it prepares to retrograde, tonight at 5:06 PM EDT.

 

And because that is the Star of the unexpected, it is likely to bring some frayed nerves, and unexpected disturbances, giving you that edgy feeling! Along with unsettled annoyances, into your day and evening? No matter what your sign.

 

Also the planet of communication Mercury is completing its yearly stay in Leo today...Setting a new trend in the way we receive our thoughts and how we share them. Giving us a more practical thought approach when Mercury enters Virgo, tomorrow, July 30, 2016, at 2:18 PM EDT 

 

All signs will start to be more thoughtful when getting their thoughts and plans across to others. Effecting us from the practical earth Virgo influence, from July 30, until Oct. 7, 2016.

 

That is a longer than usual stay for the planet Mercury to be in its on sign of Virgo! Why? Because Mercury will again turn retrograde, on Aug. 30, 2016 at 9:04 AM. until it get backs to its normal direction on Sept 22, at 1:30 AM. And then continue its Virgo influence  until Mercury will enter Libra, on Oct 7, 2016, at 3:55 AM.

 

Wow, you can see and feel change in the Astrological brew!

But there is more, coming soon, too!

 

On Aug. 2, at 1:49 PM our planet of energy and passion Mars, will enter the fire sign of Sagittarius! Which will change how we use and direct our passions! Mars stays in Sagittarius until Nov. 9, 2016, at 12:51 AM, when Mars, then will enter the Liberating sign of Aquarius!

 

 Interesting that it will be in that sign, of independence... for the tallying and completion of our political race for a new president of our beloved united States?

 

Also, on Aug. 2, 2016 at 4:44 PM, EDT we will have the benefit of a new Leo, moon. That is the time each month when we set in motion patters that will increase through the whole month

 

 So try to stay as flexible as possible, and use your more detailed self to prepare for a busy fruitful Aug. and Sept.

 

 Particularly if yours is a earth or water sign?  Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus? Earth! Or Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio? Water! Think long term towards expansion to what you want to improve and gain from all month.

 

Yes, I would say we are in for a  pretty significant astrological few days!

 

 Try to work hard, at making them good ones!

It Is In The Stars

By astrologer, Valerie Greene

Changes in sign for the planets Venus, and Mercury, can heat things up making an impact on the rest of your summer!

 Yes! The Planet of love Venus will change signs into the sign of Leo, July 12, 2016 at 1:34 a.m. EDT.

And the planet of communication, Mercury, also entering the sign of Leo, on July 13, 2016 at 8:47 p.m.

Leo, is a fixed Fire sign! So when planets move into it, the effect can stir up activity that is more assertive, active, and fiery!

Especially igniting all fire signs, Leo, Aries, Sagittarius... but also uplifting the air signs, Aquarius, Gemini, Libra. 

However, all signs will notice a tendency for more prideful activity in our daily lives! Nice!

 Leo is a summer sign and it denotes, sunshine, leadership, and a desire to control!

Therefore, don't be surprised if you now want to suddenly climb out of your shell no matter what your sign!

 This new trend can also complicate your life?  Venus, and Mercury with us, in Leo, through July...  can now, make you more stubborn! Bringing troubles that are tied to your ego?

So guard your foolish pride when trying to control all those you love, your $, and how you communicate in those areas!

 This warning is particular important for the signs of Taurus, and Scorpio, to keep in mind!

 But all signs will benefit more from this more fiery trend, if they can tread carefully, without Ego!

Adding more Fire, into the mix will happen, July 22,! As the Sun takes  up its yearly stay in Leo, at  5:30 a.m. EDT 

  Another influence to make us want to be more active that will be with us until Aug. 21.

Quite a change from all those water signs that have been active in our daily lives that last 3 weeks! Which have been giving us more home, involvement, and feeling extra sensitive!

Add the fact that the plant Mars, that rules passions in Scorpio, has been with us off and on, since the first of our new year!

 A stay for Mars, much longer than usual!  Bringing, what we have seen... as many disturbing events, created by passions!

 Igniting, many evil passions that were most unfortunate and disturbing! Including around our police force!

The good news is... that trend of the use of negative anger  with such evil passion, will end when Mars changes signs and enters Sagittarius on Aug. 2, 2016 ! A big relief!

Good News!

Yes it is True! The planet Mercury, will once again be back in its normal forward motion very soon. In fact, on Sunday, May 22, 2016 at 9:19 a.m. EDT.

 

 Just keep in mind in order to be into completely new forward motion in your life we need to have the planet Mercury, move past the degree it first changed direction in. And that will not happen until June 8, 2016

 

In the mean, there are  two other significant aspects that will have their effect on us! And the fist one Happened today! Yes,  Friday May 20, 2016 at 10: 36 A.M. the Sun entered the Air sign of Gemini!

 

 Happy Birthday Gemini! Yours is the sign of late spring! A time of year that increases our desire to communicate and be out and about. That will be with us until the first day of Summer, which begins, June 20, at 6:34 P.M. when the Sun will enter, the sign of Cancer!

 

The second aspect that we will be shedding its influence on us, is a Full Sagittarius moon! Happening tomorrow early evening,  Saturday, May 21, 2016, at 5:14 P.M. 

 

This Full moon ruled by Jupiter, can tend to make you overdo! Guard against unnecessary extravagant's and carelessness that could cause a fire!

 

All signs should be careful of overindulgence on Saturday eve! But that is partially good advice for the signs of, Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces !

 

 It Is In The Stars! By Valerie Greene

 

 

Are you ready?  Soon it will be, what I call "double trouble time", again!

 Yes, the planet Mercury is slowing down getting ready to go retrograde! When will it start this backward track again?

 April 28, 2016 at 1:20 p.m. EDT

Does the planet Mercury's motion in space really go backwards? No! But to our earth's view, of Mercury's motion it does! Effecting our earth communications! All forms of travel. Moving machine parts. And our common thought process.(Thinking) Bringing those areas of our life, into a challenging focus, with Mercury retrograde about three times a year?

Why does this happen? What would be the positive of Mercury being retrograde? And why do I call it, "the time of double trouble"?

My belief is, that it purpose being retrograde three times in a year, is to help us go back in areas of our life that we have left unfinished. That is why appliances that have been neglected or not repaired correctly will fail during retrograde. Along with why the poorly made communications and decisions will come back to hunt us. And also why many old friendship can seem to come out of the blue and be restored. All of that though somewhat aggravating, it gives us a chance to set things straight! 

On the negative double trouble? I call it that, because where Mercury rules our thoughts and how we communicate them! As it changes direction from our earth's view. It seems to make us more absent minded, confused, with bad judgment, clogging up our highways, both on the roads and with our daily work, and business. Which makes for many do overs! Including why you may feel that you suddenly need to give everything involving communication, or travel plans, a second try? And even small decisions,  doing them over, and over again? 

So yes, it can be a trying aggravating about three week span? With some nice surprises thrown in. 

However, the most important advice that I can give you, from April 28,  to May, 21, would be to put off any major decisions if you can? Because planet Mercury retrograde, is very likely going to mess things up enough, that you will indeed, need to change your mind! 

 Then, Yay, on May 22, 2016, at 9:19 a.m. Mercury will again start its normal forward motion.

 But keep in mind it takes a few days for its new direction to settle us all down to our own normal pace. And not into a complete forward new direction for us all... until June, 7, 2016. So be patient!

And in the mean time, try to use this time to go back in areas of your life that was left unfinished, making the most of what Mercury in retrograde has to offer!

That is true for all sun signs, bust most importantly for the sign of Taurus!

As Mercury has been in Taurus, and then being retrograde in that sign, will have a longer stay, than usual! Effecting, that sign in a greater way, from April, 6 through June 12.

If your sign is Taurus, try to Enjoy, and make the most of it!

 

It is the Stars, by Valerie Greene

Two important planetary changes are sure to liven up your spring!

Yes, April 5, 2016, the Planet Venus entered the Fire sign of Aries, at 12:50 p.m. EDT And at 7:09 PM EDT also on April 5, 2016, the Planet Mercury, entered the Earth sign, Taurus!

What that can mean, to you, is how Venus now in Aries, that rules your love life & money, and Mercury, now in Taurus, that rules your thoughts, and communication, get along with your Sun sign?

 This new placement for Venus, will give the Fire signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, the most momentum, gaining help  around their finances, and emotional life! With the Air signs too, having more opportunity and ease, in the area of the pleasures that we enjoy, and desire in life! They are the signs of, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.

And those who were born in the Earth signs, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, will gain, in all those communication needs! Including being more active with their day to day activities!

 Mercury in Taurus now is also good news, for those born under Water signs! Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio, can at last see progress in long sought after goals, as a favorable earth Mercury can bring real concrete progress in getting those annoying communication details attended to.

 However, Aquarius, and Leo...would be wise to take their time with all matters of communications ...being aware that a Taurus Mercury can bring, out your stubborn side! Slow down and think before you make promises that you cannot keep! 

  And the signs of Capricorn, and Cancer,  need to be extra careful around their emotions...Venus now in Aries will test you, around your most important relationships, and your financial decisions.

Yes these planets will liven up our spring...with Venus being in Aries until April 29. And Mercury, will be in the sign of Taurus until June 12!

 Heads up everybody...look for change! Make it Good ones! A new moon sets your trends, April 7, 2016 at 7:24 AM !
