All three of the Mercury retrograde zones in 2013, are in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Mercury in water has a filter of feelings. So a retrograde in water signs adds the power of authentic emotion to what we’re saying, perceiving, picking up by vibes. This is one way to see how a retro recovery can enrich our lives. If we’ve denied how we really feel about a person or situation, Mercury re-aligns us with that emotional intel. It’s a great time to rediscover personal meaning, in life experiences, through memories, impressions, serendipity. This retro also inspires us to share with others what’s in the depths. A water sign Mercury turns its wheels on moods, so spend time in places that have atmosphere, are somehow magical, evocative. The imagination finds a groove with the right music or cinema, a book or friend, time in the wild or in a state of alert daydreaming. Continue reading →

A friend and I have been playing with astrology together. I like taking everyday events and showing astrological corelations. I got grumpy with a business partner and my friend asked if that would have shown up in my chart.  If I had an Astrology Future Prediction Transit Report done for that day, would I have seen it ahead of time, could I have predicted it? The beauty of being able to predict its probability is this:  Had I seen the challenging aspects ahead of time, I would have realized I was in a sensitive state of mind and subject to reaction.  I could have been more mindful, more tactful. Here are my transits for the grumpy day. Continue reading →

Astrologically, a grand cross going on right now with Mercury, Uranus, Jupiter and Pluto in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. A grand cross literally means that four planets are lined up in the shape of a cross. Each planet carries energy and brings certain aspects of our lives to the surface. Planets opposite each other create a juggling act and a need for balance.   Mercury represents communication.  Uranus breaks down structure and the rules change. Jupiter expands and represents good fortune. Pluto represents rebirth and total transformation, which must happen for evolution to occur. A 3 Month Future Prediction Astrology Report will show you what areas you can expect this rebirth to happen in, as well as tips for making it go smoothly. It’s often as easy as letting go of the old way and letting new patterns emerge.

Compatibility is not only about lovers.  We want to be compatible with coworkers and business partners also.   We make or break anything in our lives by our attention and focus to it, astrology notwithstanding.  Nonetheless, I’ve found astrological comparison charts helpful in making decisions about how involved to get with someone new. When I met my former partner, our compatibility chart showed while he and I have houses 12 (the unconscious) and 1 (the personality) in common in our charts, our astrological “lessons” fall into houses 6 and 7.  I told him if we have a solid house 6 (work/service) relationship, then overpouring into the 7th house (relationship/partnership) will cause conflict.  It did.  Had I followed my heart rather than my ego who wanted to be a savior, much grief could have been avoided.

Paypal $28 to me at horizonsmagazine@gmail.com and email me your birth date, time and location of birth. I love the interpretations given in these reports, they tell me what to expect and how to manuever easily through it.  Like right now I am going through a real critical phase. Knowing that I am allows me to have the thoughts arise and not feel I have to share them. I see it as an opportunity to discipline myself to keep my thoughts to myself unless it is helpful, kind and true. When the thoughts and feelings arise, I observe them as they were expected visitors, but I do not let them take me over.

I was just brainstorming with a pal about a new business venture that blends what they do well with what I do well. Ok, I admit they were the brains of it all but it sounds intriguing and fun. I’m stoked to be included!

Excerpt of letter written 11-30-11, doing a friend’s astrology transit for 2012:  Our transits reflect the journey we are taking.  “Remember,” I said, ” we make or break anything in our lives by our attention and focus to it, astrology notwithstanding.  While you and I have houses 12 (the unconscious) and 1 (the personality) in common in our charts, I see that our astrological “lessons” fall into houses 6 and 7, the same for me and my friend ZR.  I mention him because the lessons you and I will have together should be a higher octave of what he and I went through on our journey. The higher octave remedies the karma of the lower.    ZR is smart as a whip, sarcastic, sardonic, we’ve never discussed spirituality.  He is an attorney and so our entire time together was filled with legal stuff, albeit of a different sort.  ZR’s fatal flaw was he was very selfish and controlling.  He defined his manhood by how much sex he could have with every new woman he met, irrespective of their feelings, leaving much confusion and heartbreak in his path.  Out of sight, out of mind, next.  I just mention that because if we have a solid house 6 (work/service) relationship, then overpouring into the 7th house (relationship/partnership) will cause conflict.

UPDATE: It did

As the planets move in the sky, their effects are played out in the people and events of our lives.  We know what area each transit will be felt in by which house it is passing through. The houses in astrology are those 12 pie slices you’ve seen on the charts, showing Aries on the first house, Taurus on the second, etc.  Your birth time determines your rising sign, which determines how your own houses line up on the wheel.  How the planets line up determines WHAT area of your life will be affected, and how they aspect each other determines HOW it will play out. Below is a list showing how long each planet is typically in each house.  Consult an online ephemeris for exact dates in and out of each house.   Continue reading →

Pluto goes retrograde today at 11.35 Capricorn, then direct Sept 20 at 8.59 Capricorn.  That bounces it around in my 9th house until then.  Bob Marks says when Pluto Transits the 9th house: “This is the house of religion, philosophy, “higher mind”.  During this transit, you may become fanatical about beliefs you hold, or you may junk them entirely and devoutly believe something totally different.  The 9th House is also the house of higher education and long journeys.”  Continue reading →

Pluto packs a punch. When it hits you, you know it. Whatever it contacts in your horoscope gets “transformed”. Pluto is death and rebirth, decay and regeneration. It is very difficult to hold on to something that Pluto is trying to take. Sometimes it is just better to let go. Pluto also rules obsession. An almost insane desire to possess a thing, or a person.  The negative side of this planet is more likely to come out during the stressful aspects. The smooth aspects (trine and sextile) can strengthen whatever they touch. Continue reading →
