NEW MOON POWER DAY REMINDER... Saturday, May 4th, 6:46 pm – EDST, is the New Moon Power Day and time in May! Don’t miss this opportunity to make wishes for goals you’d like to reach and experiences you’d like to have. This New Moon is in the sign of TAURUS, and it is the most powerful New Moon of the year for wishes involving money and security. It is also potent for wishing to manifest what you consider valuable in any area that is important to you: a relationship, a business, a job, or a new behavior. Long-term goals can begin easily manifesting through using the boost of the strong and patient TAURUS New Moon. For success, your wishes must be handwritten on paper, and ten wishes maximum are allowed on each power day. The most potent time is the first 8 hours AFTER the exact time of the New Moon; [...]

The inner planets—Mercury, Venus, and Mars—are all direct this month, which will help to facilitate progress in our day-to-day lives. The month of May will therefore be good for getting new ideas off the ground and committing to personal or professional goals. Uranus will be moving forward, too, in Taurus, which will add energy to efforts to revolutionize financial systems, technology, and the ways in which we care for our environment. Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto, however, are all retrograde, which will encourage governments, corporations, and other large-structured organizations to revamp from within. As the populace will be stirred to voice its discontent with topics related to banking, socio-economic equality, global warming, water quality, and cultural values, those with the authority to enact policy changes will feel the pressure to do so now. Mercury will race through three signs this month: Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. We are likely to hear lots [...]

Mercury will clear the shadow of its last retrograde cycle on April 17, which will give us the boost we need to take some initial steps towards an exciting new beginning. With this month’s New Moon in Aries on the 5th, it will be the most powerful time of the year to initiate positive new cycles. Both Mercury and Venus will be springing into Aries later this month, adding to the energy of enthusiasm and anticipation. It will be a great month to plant the seeds for our future success and motivate ourselves finally to take steps towards new and/or longstanding goals. Three of the outer planets will be stationing retrograde this month, offering a reflective energy. This won’t necessarily obstruct progress, but it will hopefully provide an atmosphere of thoughtful change. Jupiter in Sagittarius will station retrograde on April 10, turning our attention to inner growth and the ability [...]

Timing is everything. By taking advantage of opportunities when the larger timing is right, you achieve a success. For example, when the tide is out in the ocean, it’s not a propitious time for the sport of surfing. The rules we’re shown daily by mother nature are self evident. By cooperating with that larger timing, we can fit into the natural world and use its cycles to our advantage. By using the principles of natural timing, we cooperate with life and know when to pull back and when to press forward for success. The times of moving forward can be used for initiating new directions that are important for us. The times for pulling back can be used for reinforcing our position, organizing our lives and growing stronger within ourselves. The times of balance open the opportunity for consciously enjoying our lives and the people in our world. This is [...]

The SPRING EQUINOX is that point when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun. It ushers in the predominance of the energies of the first three signs of the zodiac: Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. These signs strive to establish personal identity and survival on Planet Earth. Note:  In both the Spring and Autumnal equinoxes, the season change depends upon your hemisphere. In both hemispheres the progression of the signs of the zodiac – underlying the ambiance in the atmosphere – is identical, so the ritual for maximizing the time periods ahead remains the same. Aries is discovering who they are and their burst of energy spreads seeds for new beginnings. Taurus is establishingwho they are and is concerned with using their energy in practical ways that build a stable base of comfort. Gemini is thinking about who they are, activating the mind and going into motion to connect their [...]

By Stephanie Shea During these days, Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Pisces. When Mercury is in Pisces, your thinking may become a bit more idealistic than usual. You will be gaining visions of the interconnectedness of all beings, and more inclined to take others’ feelings into account. This is an excellent period for meditation, prayer and allowing yourself to pull back and become more reliant on the help and guidance of your personal connection with a Higher Power. During these days, it may be difficult to advance because the energy will encourage you to address the past. You could feel impatient to try something new, but you’ll be encouraged to finish what you’ve started first. Use the available support to bring projects to completion and re-do any work that needs improvement. Your personal development depends on your ability to take responsibility for the past and demonstrate to others [...]

Wednesday, March 6, 11:04 am EDST, is the New Moon Power Day in March!  Don't miss this opportunity to make wishes for goals you'd like to reach and experiences you'd like to have.  Because the New Moon of March is in the sign of PISCES, it is an especially auspicious time for wishes that involve releasing self-destructive addictions and unhealthy habits, such as excessive drinking, smoking, or poor dietary choices. This time period is also highly charged and uniquely empowered to help set healthy sleep habits, increase levels of joy and spiritual fulfillment, and surrender anxieties into the healing hands of a Higher Power.  The energy of PISCES stimulates your receptivity to making choices that lower stress levels and increase peace of mind. Wishes that involve scheduling time for meditation, yoga, and other spiritual practices will be supported. This New Moon is also helpful in cultivating your empathetic and emotionally [...]

March will be marked by two major energetic shifts. The first major event of the month will be the ingress of Uranus into Taurus on the 6th, initiating a seven-year cycle that will shake up our relationship to money and the environment. Last year, we experienced a “sneak preview” of Uranus in Taurus between May 15 and November 5, before it returned to Aries for a brief stay via retrograde motion. This month, Uranus moves forward. And in fact, all the outer planets will be direct. Though we will feel a backdrop of support for some of our bigger visions, Mercury will be retrograde, so we’ll need to slow down and finish what we’ve started in our daily lives. With the Astrological New Year/Vernal Equinox on the 20th, March will be a powerful month to meditate and do some visioning for the coming year! The second concentration of astrological power [...]
