Saturn Direct in Virgo>5/30/10

Saturn goes direct at 27°50′ Virgo on May 30th, 2010 and shall reenter Libra on July 22nd, 2010 thus bringing to a close Saturn/Virgo lessons and training.

Saturn will not return to Virgo again until 2036.

Of note is Saturn’s degree of direct station @ 27°5 Virgo for this is now a sensitized degree and as the inner planets move over this degree (especially the Sun and Mars) new developments in our Virgo related area’s will be triggered. For those that have applied themselves to their Virgo lessons (health, routines, communications etc) this will bring rewards for the efforts we have applied.

Dates relevant to the crossing by the inner planets of this degree are: 7-26-10  Mars > 8-5-10 Venus > 9-21-10 Sun > 10-2-10 Mercury

Uranus Enters Aries 5-27-10 followed by The Uranus-Jupiter Conjunction at Aries Point 6/7/10: Learning to Shift these Gears preceding A Ride in Overdrive(?)> Be nice to the Hedges. :)

Uranus enters Aries today and will be joined by Jupiter on June 7th heralding the much anticipated Jupiter-Uranus conjunction at Aries Point. On August 15th, Uranus shall slide back into Pisces in retrograde motion and retrograde Jupiter follows suit a few weeks later on September 10th. Uranus will reenter Aries on  March 12th, 2011 and remain in the Sign of the Ram until 2018.  When Uranus reenters next March, Jupiter will already have traveled the first 10° of Aries due to having a shorter retrograde duration than Uranus so therefore we will be receiving the max impact of these two planets conjoined during the upcoming weeks.

I am going to offer something a little different today in this post then what I normally do and just bounce right through with zero format or proofing and lay it out as I work my way through sifting info I have been receiving and sorting it into the ‘this-that-and-the other’ as it comes to me. I like having someone to ‘bounce with’ at times yet today it is just me, myself and I so I am going to do it right here on site as if I am bouncing with you(?). 🙂  If you don’t mind a little intuitive analysis thrown in, a bit of story telling and a lengthier post then please continue on and I hope you find something of value!

Full Moon @ 6′ Sagittarius 5/27/10> Information and Wisdom

The next Full Moon occurs on the Sagittarius-Gemini axis at 6°33′  on May 27th, 2010 at 7:07 pm EST.

For those of esoteric inclination, this lunation is also termed the Christ Moon and is the last High Moon of Spring, corresponding to the time of the dispensation of knowledge by The World Teacher that shall carry us forth on our path the remainder of the astrological year.

The correspondence of this lunation to the Christ Moon and it’s occurrence just a few short hours before the Uranus Aries Ingress implies this lunation shall be of significant importance in what develops for us over the next nine months; though with the astral influences now present there are truly no events of insignificance at this point! 🙂

Reflecting (ok, maybe rambling) on my 12th House Gem Moon/Cancer Asc as We Proceed to the Cardinal Crosses> Weary yet Hopeful

My 12th house Moon at 29° Gemini conjunct my Cancer ascendant has always been a challenge for me. Not a fluffy moon, it receives squares from my angular South Node, Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter and Mercury at the bottom of my chart and at the top has squares to my North Node and Chiron. Throw in an opposition to Mars and voila!, challenged Moon. {{smiles and reminds self to love my moon anyway}}

Transiting Pluto spent many years opposing my Moon and during that time the dissolution of female relationships was absolute, in regards to friends and family, less my daughters. My relationship with my daughters strengthened and evolved into a deep friendship and something far more beautiful and fulfilling than I could have imagined I would have with them at their current ages of 22 and 18. Friendship, true and real friendship is what we have now and that means everything to me for if there is no friendship in any form of a relationship than there is no relationship, period. I honestly believe that. I do not feel that blood relationships hold us together, at least it has not been true for me, friendship does. Yet, the relationship with my daughters while transformed was done so under duress.

In 2005 I had my Jupiter return, transiting Pluto conjuncted my natal Mars triggering my natal Mars-Pluto square and Saturn finished his transit through my 1st house and ended with a conjunction to my Leo Venus triggering my natal Venus-Saturn square. Divorce, followed by a financial collapse, was the result for me. By the end of 2006, my material net worth was packable, literally luggage tote-able{{laughs}}, attire and a few keepsakes plus my faithful little dog. That’s it. Everything else was gone. Home, auto’s, furnishings, bank accounts…gone in the blink of an eye it seemed. I have come to accept that this was the result of my dragging my tail on bringing to closure many situations when I should have instead of attempting to be the “good girl” and my previously warped perception of whom I thought I needed to be to be ‘spiritual’ undoubtedly contributed to my sluggishness in making willing changes too.

Sometimes I start to fall back on the old crutch of,  “Hey, I was presented with a whole plate of Shit when I entered this life” and then I check it quickly, for it is no excuse for my not attending to what was in my power to attend to and crutches like that one just catapult you right back into victim-hood. That is never a productive place to be and I very sincerely believe that these times are we are in will no longer allow for that state of consciousness. We now must take full accountability for our actions and non-actions, that is the only way through this pass, the best that I can see. No more pointing fingers and hiding behind shadows, at least not for me it would seem, for those shadows have been outed for me non-stop and I have to own them, there just is no other option even though I cannot logically explain why that is to someone that doesn’t already get it, you know?

New Moon @ 24′ Taurus 5/13/10> Into the Garden

The next New Moon occurs at 23°9′ Taurus on May 13th, 2010 at 9:04 pm EST.

As the second sign in the zodiac, and ruled by Venus, Taurus is where we find ourselves concerned with self-gratification, with Self-Love. Taurus is the place where we take great pleasure in thrusting our hands into the moist soils of our earthy existence to sow seeds that will bring much pleasure to our 5 basic senses. Here, we find ourselves longing for experiences of a more hedonistic nature.

Taurus evokes images of the Garden of Eden, for it is here that we are renewed within the simplicity of earthly delights and express a primitive innocence in undertaking that which we find pleasing, without obsessive regard to the ‘rightness or wrongness’ of our desires. Here, that which is nurturing to the senses and to the physical self, just IS.

Later as we develop our Venus attributes in the sign of Libra, we come to be concerned with a further developed and balanced expression of Venus and we apply the “WE” principle, seeking to offer unto an other our ‘fruits of self’ while desiring an other to in turn offer unto us their ‘fruits of self’.

Many find great discomfort in giving recognition to their hedonistic elements and deny themselves the right to self-gratification/love. Yet our path of evolution through the Zodiac has made no error in taking us into the realms of Venus in Taurus before Libra. When one wishes to enter into relationship through the portal of Libra, one must first have something to offer to another, and that is where our experience of Taurus begins our quest to achieve self-fulfillment that allows us to enter into unions that have the best opportunity for long-term survival due to our entering said unions with minimal likelihood of forming a co-dependency due to a sense of lack within one’s self.

Mercury Direct in Taurus 5-11-10> “Recovering What Was Lost”

Mercury turns direct at 2°40′ Taurus on May 11th, 2010 and once again traverses 2°-13° Taurus where we have been receiving varied information and insights during the retrograde phase. We now consolidate that which we have observed and put considerations to and begin to move toward externally expression of our revised situations. Mercury exits the shadow period on May 28th and by that point we will have brought stability to various area’s in our lives in preparation for undertaking new initiatives during this summer’s Cardinal influence that should prove to be quite dynamic!

In my previous post on Mercury Retrograde in Taurus , I shared how I viewed this retrograde phase as bringing us to clarity on that which we value and how we needed to go about securing a treasure(s) that we hold in high regard by placing our energy where it would bring the best possible outcome desired. With the Scorpio-Taurus Full Moon occurring during this retrograde, many of us found it necessary to make adjustments that would allow us to proceed to claiming that which we value. These adjustments included a letting go of any situations/endeavors that were not producing favorable results in regards as to the amount of energy we were expending in these situations/endeavors.
