All Things Astrology and Feng Shui

Challenges, clutter, communication and more

January 16 to 31, 2012 Astrology Forecast

The year of 2012 is challenging for our country with unpredictable and unexpected tests. Our economy has ups and downs.

Astrologers have many ways to forecast. One way is called secondary progressions—when an astrologer draws up a map of the heavens for as many days after birth as a person is in years. For example, if a person is 27 years old, the map of the heavens is made for 27 days after the person’s birth. The theory is that there is a connection or a correlation between the small and the large. Kind of like the connection or correlation between the smaller you and the larger heavens. You can also progress a country’s astrology chart.

In the United States’ progressed astrology chart, the Sun is exactly 90 degrees—a hard aspect--from Uranus. The Sun rules the leader of the country, as well as other persons in power and authority. It also shows the will of the people. Uranus is unpredictable, erratic and freedom-loving. It rules hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, earthquakes and unusual weather. Since the Sun is in the section of the country’s chart that rules home, and Uranus is in the section that rules enemies, our enemies cause dramatic challenges for us.

In addition to the above, transiting Uranus in the sky this year continues its slow and long-lasting visit through our country’s eighth house of money, causing ups and downs in our economy. This year it is in the exact degree of the zodiac as our country’s birth Venus and Jupiter, adding even more power to upsets and changes. Since Uranus rules new technology, that is one area of the economy that can prosper. Old ways of doing business get shaken up.

Get rid of clutter from 10:33 a.m. Central Time January 16, 2012 through 1:28 p.m. Central Time January 18, 2012.

Many people have been telling me that they have been using the times that the Moon is in Scorpio to get rid of clutter and it helps. The Moon in Scorpio during these two and a half days means it is a good time to get rid of what no longer serves you, from those old coupons in your junk drawer to anyone whose negativity dampens your spirits. One of the most important things I tell people when I do a Feng Shui consultation is to get rid of clutter. I define clutter as anything that you do not love, want or use. If you haven’t used it in more than a year, it might be a good idea to throw it away, give it away or sell it.

Communications are intense January 16 and 17, 2012.

With Mercury the planet of communication sitting very close in the sky with passionate and forceful Pluto, it’s a good time for expressing your deep thoughts, but be careful not to let conversations get out of hand. Don’t even try to change another’s beliefs.

Love, social life, money and possessions flourish if you use reason January 8 to 18, 2012.

Venus, the planet of love, social life, money and possessions has two aspects during these days. One is a steadying trine to Saturn. If you make sure that you use common sense and also that the person you are interested in is worthy of you, it can be wonderful for love and social life. Buying expensive, long-lasting items can bring you much pleasure if you do your homework before buying them.

The other aspect is a conjunction to Neptune (about 0 degrees from each other). Neptune can be romance, unconditional love, spiritual love or self-deceit or deceit from another. With Neptune it can be very hard to tell the difference until after the aspect is over. Listen to what your family members, friends and astrologer say about the other person before you throw caution to the winds.

Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012.

Saturn is an earthy planet, bringing stability and reliability to whatever it touches. Saturn trines (is about 120 degrees from) ethereal Neptune, which means it is a great time to work on and finish artistic projects and use your intuition to benefit your life. Listen to your hunches. This aspect is great for being able to use psychic ability.

Disagreements until February 20, 2012.

Jupiter continues its long-term opposition to (is about 180 degrees from) Saturn, showing opposition between people who feel optimistic and those who feel fearful. Oppositions often mean that people see situations in totally opposite ways and find little or nothing to compromise about. Since this is a long-term aspect, it will be interesting to watch how it plays out in politics in the United States and between countries. This aspect can bring much contention, difficulty and discord. As always, we have the choice to respectfully disagree.

Good news for the economy and for you.

I realize that this seems to contradict what I wrote earlier about the country having an erratic financial time this year. Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012. Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can create good outcomes. Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign. Taurus is also slow moving, conservative and patient. Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture. Jupiter in Taurus is a fortunate time for making money if you are prudent and don’t expect to get rich overnight. I expect that the people who already have big money will continue to make big bonuses. With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture. Do you have the money you want? If not, what do you need to do to get it? Are you doing what you need to do? Do you have multiple sources of income?

Transformation, trips, love, money and more

January 1 to 15, 2012 Astrology Forecast

Happy New Year. I hope 2012 brings you everything you want.

With a new year upon us, it is a terrific time to have your astrology birth chart done or your astrology yearly chart done. The birth chart is affirming, as it helps you understand yourself and others, find your path in life and know your potentials. It can be great for people who want to make the most of their lives and answer questions about what they should be doing with their lives.

The astrology yearly chart gives a forecast of the next twelve months (regardless of when it is done) and helps prepare you for what is to come. You’ll learn how to take advantage of good times and how to prepare for or avoid bad times. It is a roadmap on your path in life and a beacon of hope to help you have a better future.

Each chart lasts about an hour and is $90. We can do them in person or over the telephone and you will have an audio tape or a CD of our conversation.

Release and transform what no longer works for you January 1 to 5, 2012.

The Sun and Pluto will be very close to each other during this period, making it a great time to release and let go anything that no longer serves you, and transform your life the way you want it to be. This is a great time for New Year’s resolutions. Use strong emotions and good plans to get what you want. Positive and congruent thoughts, words and deeds get you where you want to be. Just be sure you don’t keep changing your order to the universe—be consistent and follow through.

Guard against accidents while traveling or speaking December 26, 2011 to January 6, 2012.

With the planet of transportation and communication, Mercury, in a stressful aspect (a 90 degree square) to the planet of energy and action, Mars, be careful not to move too fast or let angry words slip out. This aspect happens twice a year and is not very powerful, but it doesn’t hurt to be careful.

Great for transportation, communication and learning January 3 to 13, 2012.

Yes, I know what I just wrote above. It is a great time to expand your horizons through traveling, communicating and learning as the two planets of these areas are in a wonderful, positive trine (120 degrees apart.)

Wonderful for creative endeavors, expressing yourself and having energy to achieve what you want January 4 to 18, 2012.

The Sun is in a beneficial aspect (a trine, 120 degrees) to Mars, helping your creative pursuits, expression and energy levels. Take advantage of this time to accomplish what you most want to get done.

Love, social life, money and possessions flourish if you use reason January 8 to 18, 2012.

Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012.

The sun in Capricorn from December 23, 2011 to January 20, 2012 is good for working on your career and ambitions.

Solid hard work, discipline and determination bring good results. It’s a good time to work on projects that take persistence, prudence and patience.

Good news for the economy and for you.

Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012. Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can create good outcomes. Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign. Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture.

With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture. Do you have the money you want? If not, what do you need to do to get it? Are you doing what you need to do? Do you have multiple sources of income?

Christmas is astrologically timed

2011-12-21T13:31:00.000-08:00

All of the Catholic Church's Holy Days are astrologically timed, including Christmas. In astrology, the Sun has a correspondence with children (son.) In the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun has been going further and further south since the Summer Solstice. On December 21 each year, the Sun quits going further south. It stays in the same place for three days, and on December 25, the Sun starts coming back north. It is the birth of the Sun, which corresponds to the birth of the Son. On Christmas Day, the heavens symbolize the birth of Jesus. You probably know that Jesus wasn't really born on Christmas as the sheperds would not be outside on that date.

2011-12-15T15:55:00.000-08:00

December 16 to December 31, 2011 Astrology Forecast

Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012.

The Sun in Sagittarius from November 22, 2011 to December 22, 2011 is good for study, long distance trips, exploration and expanding your horizons.

Sagittarius is a sign that likes to learn and grow, intellectually, physically and spiritually. It cannot stand doing the same old boring activities over and over; it needs new and exciting pursuits. It needs freedom and lots of activity, either mental or physical or both.

Great for communication, study and trips December 14 to 20, 2011.

Money and emotions can be excessive from December 16 to 24, 2011.

Venus squares (is about 90 degrees from) Jupiter during this period, indicating you have a tendency to overspend, an exaggerated sense of drama and a propensity to be overemotional. Combined with Venus square Saturn (see entry just above), you could overspend to make yourself feel better and be overly dramatic because your feelings are easily hurt.

December 1 to December 15, 2011 Astrology Forecast

2011-12-10T14:15:00.000-08:00

11/30/2011

Lots of opportunities the first half of this month!Trines are when points in an astrology chart are about 120 degrees from each other. They are considered fortunate, lucky and full of opportunities. If used, they can be truly wonderful. They can be very helpful to people with strong characters, who will put forth the effort to grab the opportunities.
I will start off with the good news of the six trines we have in the sky the first half of December. There is so much going on in the sky this month that I will tell you about the forecast for the last half of the month later.

Great time for being with people you care about December 1 and 2, 2011Time to party, be with loved ones and deal with the public with social Venus trine beneficial Jupiter. You can be very charming and make people feel comfortable. Jupiter enlarges whatever it touches, so don’t go overboard.

Great for grabbing opportunities June 3, 2011 to December 12, 2011.
Beneficial Jupiter is in a nice, easy trine to Pluto, creating opportunities and new beginnings that we need to be actively seizing.   As Pluto is the planet of big money, there are opportunities for making huge amounts of money, if people have prosperity consciousness.

Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012.  Saturn is an earthy planet, bringing stability and reliability to whatever it touches.

November 2011 Astrology Forecast

2011-12-10T14:13:00.001-08:00

10/31/2011

From the beginning of the month when there are no excuses to the end of the month when relationships can be intense, it is wise to flow with planetary energies instead of against them. Steer your boat downstream instead of trying to paddle upstream.

No excuses from November 9 to November 27, 2011With Mars, Jupiter and Pluto in a grand trine (each is about 120 degrees from the other two, forming a big triangle) during this time, there is no excuse not to accomplish your goals. Grand trines indicate good fortune, ease, luck and talents. Combine these with work and you can go far. Any step you take toward reaching your goals is met by the universe stepping in your direction. Hard work brings money, makes you feel confident about yourself and brings recognition. Mars is energy, Jupiter brings blessings and Pluto signifies power. Get to work! You can do it. The universe will help.
Possible stress in relationships October 19 to November 3, 2011.With Venus squaring (about 90 degrees from) fiery Mars during this period, relationships can be challenging if your expectations are too high. Guard against being hypersensitive and try not to fight with anyone. Use this energy to learn to effectively get your point across without hurting anyone else. From October 27 to November 3, 2011 confusing Neptune joins this aspect by opposing Mars and squaring Venus making some wonder what is going on in their relationships. It may be hard to distinguish fact from fiction.
The Sun in Scorpio from October 23 to November 22, 2011 is good for using your talents to their fullest, throwing yourself passionately into your life and renewing, rejuvenating and healing.Scorpio is an emotional, passionate and intense sign, perfect for living life to the fullest. It is great for getting rid of clutter, renewing and healing.
Intensity can be good if it is channeled well, but it is good to remember HALT. The letters H, A, L and T stand for hungry, angry, lonely and tired. We may want to HALT starting any important conversations when we are hungry, angry, lonely or tired. We are not able to handle emotional exchanges well under these conditions and discussions have the potential of flaring up into angry confrontations. I learned about HALT in my Neuro-Linguistic Psychology training, although it initially came from 12-Step programs.

The Sun in Sagittarius from November 22, 2011 to December 22, 2011 is good for study, long distance trips, exploration and expanding your horizons.Sagittarius is a sign that likes to learn and grow, intellectually, physically and spiritually. It cannot stand doing the same old boring activities over and over; it needs new and exciting pursuits. It needs freedom and lots of activity, either mental or physical or both.

Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012.  Saturn is an earthy planet, bringing stability and reliability to whatever it touches. Saturn trines (is about 120 degrees from) ethereal Neptune, which means it is a great time to work on and finish artistic projects and use your intuition to benefit your life.

Guard against accidents October 24 to November 19, 2011.Mars wants speed; Neptune doesn’t easily live on the earthly plane. Mars opposes (is about 180 degrees from) Neptune during this time, meaning we must pay attention to what we are doing to avoid accidents of all kinds. Drive slowly. Live mindfully. Be careful around instruments and sharp objects. This is especially true while Mercury and Venus square (are about 90 degrees from) both Mars and Neptune.
Get creative from November 1 to November 7, 2011.With Mercury and Venus close together in the sky and both trining (are about 120 degrees from) Uranus, this is a great time for creative endeavors of all kinds. Unusual, original and creative ideas come to you.

Uranus continues its square to Pluto through November 30, 2011, bringing upheavals, new beginnings, freedom urges, uprisings, unrest, earth changes and unusual weather.  Anyone who hasn’t noticed the extreme weather and earth changes hasn’t been paying attention. The earth has been plagued with catastrophes, but never with this frequency. Earthquakes, tsunamis, mud slides, floods, volcanoes and dust storms have been hitting us with greater and greater frequency. Some my clients on the east coast have had flooding, an earthquake and now this unusually early snow storm breaking power lines affecting millions of people all within a few months. One told me she had never before faced any of the above before and wonders what on earth will happen next. “You were so right about your predictions of unusual weather,” she said. “I experienced flooding, an earthquake and now have no water or power.”
Uranus and Pluto move slowly and inexorably. When they stay in a stressful aspect such as a square (about 90 degrees from each other) it is not an easy time for the world, especially in the areas that the planets rule. Pluto rules power, corruption, global wars, big money, government money, crime, the Mafia, atomic power, nuclear reactors, bombs, floods, corruption, dictators, volcanoes and earthquakes. Uranus rules the unexpected, freedom, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, unusual weather and technology.
On a personal level, we may feel blocked, frustrated and stressed out. The areas the planets rule that are listed above affect people personally. Any aspect is better than no aspect as it brings energy to make needed changes and correct imbalances. We can use this energy to help us create what we want in life. If life were all trines, we would be fat, lazy and unmotivated. Squares urge us into action.

Good news for the economy and for you.Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012. Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can create good outcomes. Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign.   Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture. Jupiter in Taurus is a fortunate time for making money. Also, until April, 2012, Jupiter trines (is about 120 degrees from) Pluto, the planet of big money. It indicates opportunities for making huge amounts of money. I expect that the people who already have big money will continue to make big bonuses. With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture. Do you have the money you want? If not, what do you need to do to get it? Are you doing what you need to do? Do you have multiple sources of income?
From June 3, 2011 to December 12, 2011, beneficial Jupiter is in a nice, easy trine to Pluto, adding opportunities to take advantage of. Opportunities are there, we just need to be active.

Get rid of clutter from 7:58 p.m., November 22, 2011 to 7:57 p.m. November 24, 2011, Central Time
The Moon in Scorpio during these two and a half days means it is a good time to get rid of what no longer serves you, from those old coupons in your junk drawer to anyone whose negativity dampens your spirits. It is often easier to get rid of clutter if you work with someone else. Clutter is defined as anything that you do not love, need or use. Clutter is bad Feng Shui as it stops energy from gently meandering around your house, bringing you needed energy into your life, health, relationships, career and money.

Intense relationships November 27 to December 6, 2011    Venus, the planet of love, dances close to Pluto during this period. Pluto is intense, jealous, very emotional and can block normal expression of love. Do what you can to calm yourself down if things get too intense. As Venus also is the planet of money and possessions it is not an especially good time to buy things. You might either spend too much or not be able to find what you want.

Wowie, zowie—relationships and more in October 2011

2011-12-10T14:12:00.000-08:00

10/01/2011

Focus now on relationships as you can easily and naturally expand them beyond where they have been before.  Boy, will I be answering questions about relationships this month! When I use the word relationships, of course I am talking about romantic relationships, but I am also including all relationships we have in our lives.
Relationships are emphasized this month as Venus has heavy aspects with other planets and there is a preponderance of planets in Libra. Astrologers look at the angles-called aspects--between planets, as they have a big impact on the amount of energy planets have. Venus, the planet of love and relationships, has several aspects to other planets this month.
October also starts out with three planets plus the Sun in Libra, the sign that rules relationships and marriage, and still has one planet in Libra when the month ends. Please keep reading to see how all this might affect you.

Romance blossoms with Venus and Neptune October 3 to 12, 2011.Venus is in an easy trine (about 120 degrees from) Neptune, bringing romance to the forefront. Neptune can be delightful, but be sure what you feel is based in reality, not in fantasy. If you are in a solid relationship, you can enhance the spark.

Excesses possible in relationships October 9 to 19, 2011.Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so there can be extremes of feeling and much drama in love relationships while Jupiter opposes (is about 180 degrees from) Venus. Don’t go overboard.

Possible stress in relationships October 19 to November 3, 2011.With Venus squaring (about 90 degrees from) fiery Mars during this period, relationships can be challenging if your expectations are too high. Guard against being hypersensitive and try not to fight. From October 27 to November 3, 2011 confusing Neptune joins this aspect by opposing Mars and squaring Venus making some wonder what is going on in their relationships. It may be hard to distinguish fact from fiction.

The Sun in Libra from September 23 to October 22, 2011 emphasizes relationships. Libra is the sign of the zodiac that rules relationships and marriage. This is a good time to look at our relationships to see how we can improve them and make them more harmonious. Work on this area can bring good results.

Venus and Saturn close to each other in Libra through October 6 bring us lessons in our relationships.
Are our relationships bringing us what we need? Are we in relationships that are pretty equal in give and take? Are we with the right person? Are we the right person? Relationships are mirrors to what we give and what we are willing to receive. Are we spending enough time with people who are important to us?
Great for starting new projects September 13 through October 2, 2011.Energetic Mars trines exciting, original Uranus, making this a great time to start new projects, throw yourself into work and channel your energy wisely.

Don’t let communication get explosive or travel get erratic September 26, 2011 through October 2, 2011.Mercury joining a Uranus-Pluto square shows the possibility of communication and travel being unpredictable, erratic, explosive and problematic.

Don’t be hasty or overly optimistic October 1 to 10, 2011.
With Mars squaring (about 90 degrees from) Jupiter, the tendency may be to be risk-taking or foolhardy. Curb impulsivity. Take your time making decisions.

The Sun in Scorpio from October 23 to November 22, 2011 is good for using your talents to their fullest, throwing yourself passionately into your life and renewing, rejuvenating and healing.Scorpio is an emotional, passionate and intense sign, perfect for living life to the fullest.

We are not able to handle emotional exchanges well under these conditions and discussions have the potential of flaring up into angry confrontations. I learned about HALT in my Neuro-Linguistic Psychology training, although it initially came from 12-Step programs.

Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012.  Saturn is an earthy planet, bringing stability and reliability to whatever it touches. Saturn trines (is about 120 degrees from) ethereal Neptune, which means it is a great time to work on and finish artistic projects and use your intuition to benefit your life.

Guard against accidents October 24 to November 19, 2011.Mars wants speed; Neptune doesn’t easily live on the earthly plane. Mars opposes (is about 180 degrees from) Neptune during this time, meaning we must pay attention to what we are doing to avoid accidents of all kinds. Drive slowly. Live mindfully.

Uranus continues its square to Pluto through November 30, 2011, bringing upheavals, new beginnings, freedom urges, uprisings, unrest, earth changes and unusual weather.  These two outer planets move slowly and inexorably. When they stay in a stressful aspect such as a square (about 90 degrees from each other) it is not an easy time for the world, especially in the areas that the planets rule. Pluto rules power, corruption, global wars, big money, government money, crime, the Mafia, atomic power, nuclear reactors, bombs, floods, corruption, dictators, volcanoes and earthquakes. Uranus rules the unexpected, freedom, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, unusual weather and technology.
On a personal level, we may feel blocked, frustrated and stressed out. The areas the planets rule that are listed above affect people personally. Any aspect is better than no aspect as it brings energy to make needed changes and correct imbalances. We can use this energy to help us create what we want in life. If life were all trines, we would be fat, lazy and unmotivated. Squares urge us into action.

Good news for the economy and for you.Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012. Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can bring good outcomes. Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign.   Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture. Jupiter in Taurus is a fortunate time for making money. Also, until April, 2012, Jupiter trines (is about 120 degrees from) Pluto, the planet of big money. It brings opportunities for making huge amounts of money. I expect that the people who already have big money will continue to make big bonuses. With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture. Do you have the money you want? If not, what do you need to do to get it? Are you doing what you need to do?
From June 3, 2011 to December 12, 2011, beneficial Jupiter is in a nice, easy trine to Pluto, adding opportunities to take advantage of. Opportunities are there, we just need to be active.

Get rid of clutter from 10:08 pm, October 27 to 9:45am, October 28. Central Daylight Time
The Moon is in Scorpio during these two and a half days means it is a good time to get rid of what no longer serves you, from those old coupons in your junk drawer to anyone whose negativity dampens your spirits. It is often easier to get rid of clutter if you work with someone else. Clutter is defined as anything that you do not love, need or use. Clutter is bad Feng Shui as it stops energy from gently meandering around your house, bringing you needed energy into your life, health, relationships, career and money.
