Quote from ‘The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Astrology’: “How many Libras does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Maybe one to do it and one not to do it.”

Later this week we have both our Solar Sun and Mercury move into Libra, along with our Fall Equinox.  Libra’s symbol is the scales. Libra’s are very good at looking at each side of the scale and weighing each over and over until they often become stuck not being able to make a final decision and move forward. Because they can see each side clearly, they make very good mediators. High -level Libra’s have moved beyond the indecisive and are at complete Peace.  Living with indecision is hard on the central nervous system.  We can always adjust and navigate as we go… In fact, adjusting is much easier once there is forward momentum... The planets are not pausing anytime soon, so there is plenty of momentum.

Tuesday Sept. 18th: Mars square Uranus

The Mars/Uranus square is a turning point with friction. Your life force facing resistance or challenge in this change.  This may be about tearing up the rules and making your own; Mars wants you thinking outside the box; dare to be different. Feet in the ground, head in the clouds. Uranus in Taurus helps with the grounding and rooting the change.

Thursday Sept. 20th: Sun conjunct Mercury

This conjunction is in the last degrees of Virgo for both Sun and Mercury.  As I study astrology, I am continually amazed at how the planets line up and work together… I will forever be their eager student.  These last weeks the planets have had the theme of “take care of the details, clean out the clutter, and make the changes you need to now.” Here we are with both the Sun and Mercury 27 degrees Virgo (2 +7 = 9; Nine is about completion).  We are getting one final push to ‘get ‘er done’. Change your mind and thought forms down to the details that have been revealed to be true to your authentic higher self.  Know that this 27 degrees is powerful energy of these two on top of each other fused together, concentrating their focus and intensity for completion.

Friday Sept 21st: Mercury moves into Libra

Libra is the second air sign in the chart, making it easy and natural while Mercury is in Libra to think things through and see all sides clearly.

Saturday Sept 22nd: Sun moves into Libra and Fall Equinox

While our Sun is in Libra, the aspects to it will be all about harmony and balance with the movement to complete Peace. The Fall Equinox gives us the complete balance of day and night right as we enter Libra.  With the past weeks you have cleared out some ‘stuff’ and organized some areas of your life.  You are ready to find more balance in your daily life while you say goodbye to summer and welcome the days of Autumn. There is a preparation as we head towards the ‘dark’ part of the year; knowing that in the dark so much more will be revealed if we are willing to look and do the work.

Sunday Sept 23rd: Mercury square Saturn and Mercury trine Mars

Mercury/Saturn square another friction and turning point. This corresponds with the earlier Mars/Uranus square of tearing up the rules. With Saturn, take it to higher cosmic law and above the man-made restrictions and rules in our society. This is getting beyond the details… looking at the bigger picture, you do not want to let restrictions of Saturn pull you backwards. With Mercury in Libra think of higher levels of awareness to complete Peace. 

Mercury/ Mars trine is for inspiration with a flow and ease to help and support. Your life force is here to give you the nudge; dare to be different. This aspect gives you an enforced concentration with lots of energy with a sharp mind. A good time for making decisions or plans; you are quick thinking and ‘tuned’ in.  If nothing else, write a little inspirational note to yourself to look back on at a later time.

This is all just before Monday’s (Sept 24th) Full Moon in Aries… The planets are keeping the pace all through September, so adjust as you go.

In Spirit,

Brenda

Sunday evening is our New Moon in Virgo (refer back to last weeks considerations). A reminder: I give the exact date and aspect, but these energies and the influence of the planets lasts for days and sometimes weeks. The New Moon starts things off this week of very active planets. They are asking us to upgrade and change our mind and thought forms. The planets are asking us to connect to our authentic selves, and get past the nonsense and things we have allowed to clutter up our lives and our thinking. With our Solar Sun and Mercury in Virgo, this is the time to take care of the details and the stresses of unfinished business... clear out the clutter and be ready to move forward. If there is anything in your life weighing you down, get rid of it so that you can utilize the wonderful energies the planets are sending your way. The planets are working together to bring us truer to our authentic selves. There is great potential to utilize the energies this week to make another leap forward…. So, just go for it!

 Monday Sept 10th: Mars moves into Aquarius

Aquarius is the unconventional. While Mars is in Aquarius we will tend to approach problems with a more intellectual detached perspective.

 Tuesday Sept 11th: Sun in Virgo is sextile Jupiter in Scorpio and Sun trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn

Aspects to our Solar Sun while in Virgo are all about pieces of the puzzle; time to take care of the details and get rid of the clutter and other distractions. Sun/Jupiter sextile brings optimism and helps us with our timing... there is expansion and integration with these two. This is one of those aspects that brings a great big smile because it just doesn’t get much better than this. You feel optimistic, lucky, full of positive thinking... so get out there and put this to good use.

Sun/Pluto Rx trine has power and potential for positive transformations; these two are working in harmony and supporting each other for positive changes and clearing away the clutter. Pluto rules elimination and with Sun in Virgo you want to continue to clear away that ‘stuff’. Heart and soul to transform; Pluto Rx so this will probably be a repeat to take to higher level.

Wednesday Sept 12th: Jupiter sextile Pluto Rx, Venus in Scorpio in opposition to Uranus Rx in Taurus, Venus sextile Saturn in Capricorn

Jupiter/Pluto Rx sextile expansion to transform... Retrograde so this is a redo to take to a higher level. There is opportunity and fusion with these two planets working together. This brings success through positive changes that will feel natural and easy. You will have the desire for some reformation; wanting to expand for the upgrade.

Venus/Uranus opposition. Find the balance between what you love and value and the changes in your life now and ones yet to come; an upgrade of a past pattern with Uranus Rx. You are looking for the balance between these two for some reform and rejuvenation. This is about making changes in a structured and organized way that will serve you well for a long time.  This aspect could also involve your relationships or how you feel about yourself.  Be gentle with yourself and others.

Venus/Saturn sextile what you love and value with Saturn in Capricorn... this is where you are feeling restricted by your duties and responsibilities or even your relationships. With this sextile, these planets are fused together for the opportunity to infuse what you love and value into your life's’ obligations. You will want to get the job done without procrastination. Get it off your plate so you are not bogged down with all this ‘stuff’.

Thursday Sept 13th: Mercury in Virgo is opposition to Neptune Rx in Pisces

Mercury/Neptune opposition is the tug of war to balance your thought forms with your beliefs. This sounds like a ‘no brainer’, until you consider that our programing since a small child and our daily living in society has us ‘believing’ much that isn’t true to our higher self and who we really are.  With Mercury in Virgo, this will open up our thinking to the details that we have not been ‘seeing’ previously. Be open to what comes to you during this time. Stay aware to really ‘see’ and receive the full benefit.

Saturday Sept 15th: Mercury trine Pluto Rx

These planets are also flowing and working together, enhancing and supporting each other for transformation of mind and thought forms.  Pluto is in Retrograde so align this one with the Mercury/ Neptune opposition to take this to a higher level…. Lose the resistance (which is a form of fear) and kick it up a notch.

Sunday Sept 16th: Mercury sextile Jupiter

Mercury continues to ask us to rethink everything and has Jupiter here to help us expand with a nice trine full of inspiration. This aspect is all about looking into the future with a very broad outlook, full of positive, expansive energy.  Your voice has lots of power behind it with this aspect, and is once again a time when others will be able to hear what you say. You might want to share some of what you have experienced with these energies the last couple weeks.  You are changing and growing and YOU are an inspiration to others.

 I also realized that I did not include the quote from ‘The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Astrology’ when our Solar Sun moved into Virgo; for fun the quote is below.

“How many Virgos does it take to screw in a light bulb? At least four. One to take out the light bulb, one to check the wiring, one to put in the new light bulb, and one to clean up the mess.”

In Spirit,

Brenda

How is everyone feeling as we transition into September? I know I can personally feel the influence of planetary transitions "revving up" after a quiet few weeks, so I am trying to take the time to step back, be mindful, and act in awareness in the days ahead.

Get ready, all through September the planets are very busy.  You may want to reference the eclipse energies from this summer and view how you are adjusting and working with those as the planets ask us to tweak and revise.  One of the things that I love about astrology is that it continually shows us where we need to look in our lives to adjust and continue to grow. Pay extra attention to what you hear inside your head and what those around you are saying. Your words have power and strength behind them, so use them wisely. The planets are aligning once again to help us prepare for the New Moon in Virgo next Sunday. I know I personally need some contemplating before it arrives, and I’m grateful for the planets giving me hints on where to look and how I can best prepare.

Monday September 3rd: Mercury in Leo sextile Venus in Libra

These are two very social planets, with Mercury ruling communication and Venus ruling relationships. They also have similar orbital speed and because of that the only aspects they can have with each other are conjunction or sextile.  When I look at this aspect and its timing, it is a time for you to be heard... your words are going to be gentle on the ears (Venus). Even though Mercury in the last degrees of Leo has fiery energy behind it, they are words with strength and power behind them.  Venus brings your words out in a loving and caring form that will be heard and understood. This has potential to be a time of cooperation, diplomacy and mediation between opposing views.

Wednesday September 5th: Mercury moves into Virgo

While Mercury is in Virgo our communications, our mind and thought forms will become more organized and details will become more clear.

Thursday September 6th: Saturn in Capricorn turns direct

We’re getting there! Only the 3 outer planets remain retrograde Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.  We need to remain aware of where in our lives... we are in a repetitive pattern, and remind ourselves to take it to a higher level.

Friday September 7th: Mercury trine Uranus Rx in Taurus, Mercury trine Saturn and Virgo Sun in opposition to Neptune Rx in Pisces

Mercury/Uranus Rx trine has your intuition in high gear; you are very aware and tuned in.  The beauty of Uranus in Taurus is how grounded this energy is as it gives us some possibilities for changes here on earth.  As above so below.

Mercury/Saturn trine has perseverance and persistence with a common sense approach to get out there and get ‘er done. This one also gives your voice an authority that others will recognize.

Sun/Neptune Rx opposition that tug of war between these two looking for the balance.  There is tension with an awareness to connect your heart and soul and your higher beliefs.  If you get into a feeling of inferiority, make certain to look deeper into the real you.  This aspect could also shed light on some realities that we don’t want to see; be real with yourself and the world we live in but don’t let it take you down. Remind yourself that there are many humans in this world doing some amazing work.  This is a good time to avoid the news if you haven’t been doing so already.

 Saturday September 8th: Venus squre Mars in Capricorn

This could bring out some intense love-hate feelings and just ahead of our New Moon. If you witness this in yourself or those around you utilize that higher intuition to look at what is really the core issue; not just the surface reaction. A reminder to stay out of judgement of yourself and others.

Sunday September 9th: New Moon Virgo, Venus moves into Virgo

It is starting to feel like fall is in the air. We are saying goodbye to summer with mixed feelings while we are still in the midst of harvest; time to prepare and take care of those practical and mundane things that simply need to get done.  Not all of these chores are fun to do, but getting them taken care of will relieve stress later on. With our Sun and Moon in Virgo there are lots of details in our lives to tend to or take another look at. New Moons are always the time we plant seeds, AND we reap what we sow, so be wise. Take things one step at a time, which comes natural to Virgo.  This energy is also very grounded with Virgo our second earth sign in the chart. This New Moon has strong emotions attached to it. Where we are, where we want to go, and who we want to be may look like a very long difficult road with this New Moon.  Don’t let feelings and emotions distract you; take it one step at a time 1, and 2, and 3, and 4.

In Spirit,

Brenda

The planets are lined up to help with a Full Moon in Pisces next Sunday. Full Moons are often a challenge but this one has lots of helpful aspects around it, giving it great potential for you to make another leap forward. These energies can help you align with your soul and your true beliefs.  There is a wonderful opportunity here to possibly be recognized for who you are and your accomplishments; or just celebrate being YOU!

Wednesday August 22nd: Sun enters Virgo

You would want a Virgo for a Lab partner or if you miss class make certain you get their notes.  Virgo’s want things organized and thorough.  “If a job is worth doing it is worth doing it right.” The achilles heal for Virgo’s is that they can have a hard time being flexible, getting stuck in patterns or letting things go. They can be so much about service that they don’t take care of themselves.  I was taught that you do not want a low level Virgo for a boss.  There is no flexiblity on how you do your job for different people or situations; “my way or the highway”. Mid-level Virgos make great teachers and high level Virgos are our spiritual teachers.  As with all the signs, even if you don’t have it in your chart you are going to experience and need to learn the lessons of Virgo as you go through life; and we all want to learn and grow to the highest level possible!

Saturday August 25th: Solar Sun trine both Uranus Rx Taurus and Saturn Rx Capricorn

We have two trines today; these planets have a nice flow working with each other and are full of inspiration. Both Uranus and Saturn are retrograde so a reminder to look at patterns and things you are repeating in your life and make certain to take them to a higher level; kick it up a notch!

Uranus trine gives us self awareness full of intuition and self discovery. This is a little window into your soul so pay attention to new revelations and self discovery.  This is a great time frame to express your unique and quirky individual style. Uranus is all about change and the ‘re’ words (reform, reorganize, etc.)

The Solar Sun trine Saturn Rx in Carpicorn you are going to be extra good at getting down to business, a consientious good worker.  This aspect may bring about recognition or achiecvement of something you have had in the works.  If others don’t recognize you and your work just have your own little celebration. Good Job!!

Sunday August 26th: Full Moon Pisces and Venus in Libra is square Pluto Rx Capricorn

This Full Moon is harvest time.  The seed you planted during the New Moon Solar Eclipse is brought forth.  Know that the eclipse energies conintue for about a year so don’t hestitate to look back at those energies and check in with where you are at with them.  There is a wonderul formation with this Full Moon. The Sun with Uranus and Saturn form a Grand Trine.  Think of the chart looking like a kite with the Sun and the top; Uranus and Saturn the sides and the Moon at the bottom (with a pretty tail). Time to fly your kite!  This formation is great for success; you will have a feeling of security and self confidence in your movements forward.  Your heightened intuition and connection to your soul giving you a great opportunity to develop your skills and talents. Your goals are becoming fine tuned here or maybe even completed; it is harvest time. Full moons are always opposition; the yin and the yang looking for the balance between; work, recreation, relationship and devotional.  Pay close attention to anywhere in your life that is out of balance and use these energies to find your midpoint on the teeter totter; then just rock and play.

In Spirit,

Brenda

The planets are aligning to heighten our insight and intuition this week, and I am feeling inspired get reacquainted with my spiritual side. This spring has been filled with lots of events and change, and the upcoming summer shows no sign of slowing down. Now is a great time to look with in, and reconnect and reaffirm some grounding spiritual practices... the wonderful thing I have learned is that no matter how off-track you get with meditation, yoga, mindfulness, etc... you can always take a deep breath and begin again. These practices will always be waiting for you, ready to support you, guide you, and elevate you.

For example, lately I have been frustrated with myself, with my lack of drive when it comes to this blog. "If I really cared about it, I'd be posting everyday, like all those other bloggers out there." However, if I step back, and say to myself instead "I am learning. I am figuring out my path. I am figuring out my passions in life." I can change my view to seeing this business again as a spiritual tool, one that supports both myself and my viewers. It is a practice along with all my other tools, through learning and sharing information. And not all tools are going to serve you in every moment of everyday, and that's okay! Being mindful in nature has served me best lately, so please enjoy this weeks blog image from one of my latest adventures.

When I looked at this week, I was once again amazed at how the planets lined up to work together for us.  This is a great time to share with others your beliefs and the wonderful discoveries that have come to you recently... That is until the weekend, and then Venus/Saturn opposition creates tension and possible struggles... remember to love yourself for the beautiful human you are.

Tuesday May 22nd: Mercury in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces

Your thoughts and words are fused with your higher spiritual beliefs; there is an ease and flow with this aspect and others will be able to hear your words.

Wednesday May 23rd: Mercury in opposition to Jupiter in Scorpio; Sun in Gemini trine Mars in Aquarius

Opposition is that tug of war between these two looking for the balance. There is a higher awareness to your words and thought forms, while the expansion of Jupiter in Scorpio is about moving beyond the fear to the rebirth... the phoenix.  If you start to get into any form of fear, look to where you can move this to a new and higher dimension for positive growth.

Sun trine is in harmony and supported to realign your life force with your higher self. There is great energy with this aspect filing you with enthusiasm and confidence.

Friday May 25th: Jupiter trine Neptune; Mercury trine Pluto in Capricorn

The Jupiter/Neptune trine is generous, optimistic and spiritual.  This is a great time to get creative or share with others your many talents.  Your intuition is heightened during this time so pay close attention to what comes to you.

The Mercury/Pluto trine is another harmonious aspect you may deeply affect others with your thoughts and words or someone may affect you.  Your understanding and perception of the bigger picture is full of inspiration.

Saturday May 26th: Venus in Cancer is in opposition to Saturn in Capricorn

We end the week with the challenge of Venus/Saturn opposition.  This aspect can cause tension in our close relationships; once again trying to balance these two opposing energies.  Be gentle with yourself and others.  It is an ideal time for some alone time for yourself if possible or just getting out in nature.  You’ve been putting yourself out there all week so step back and take care of you and don’t take anything too personally.

In Spirit,

Brenda

We are finally getting out of Mercury retrograde... can I get a HALLELUJAH! Confusing challenges are becoming clear, tensions are lifting, people are friendlier... and it's not just because it's spring, because its still DUMPING snow in Montana.... if only the stars could tell me exactly when the mountain wildflowers will be here.

We have another interesting week ahead, which both integrates the energies from last week and prepares us for a New Moon in Aries next Sunday the 15th. 

With this New Moon in Aries, we get to plant another seed for ourselves. Aries is assertive, honest, feisty, enthusiastic and independent, so think of these qualities as you plant this new seed. 

These last few weeks will give you some more clues as to where you are right now in your life and the direction you are headed.  If I were to pick one word for this New Moon, it would be "freedom".

We have Uranus in the last stages or Aries at 28 degrees during this New Moon.  If we look at this from a numerology perspective, this gives us a 10 (2+8) or 1 (1+0), which is back to the unified whole.  We have dealt our entire lives with pressure to conform, and this energy gives us the power to reinvent ourselves back to who we were meant to be. Aries is giving us the courage and momentum so that obstacles that were there before won’t even be noticed……. that just took all those excuses away!  This all sounds so serious and huge and yet it can be just some simple little thing (that can be huge in our lives). Shake things up a bit! Get creative!  Set an example of a free individual!

Wednesday April 11th: Aries Sun square Pluto in Capricorn; and Mercury in Aries is trine Mars in Capricorn

Before we get to the soothing aspects and that New Moon, we have one more square! This one is our heart and soul with plenty of friction from Pluto to transform.  First and foremost, do not get into self-doubt... if you do start to slip, catch yourself and shift it to something positive. Pluto will help you redirect the energy. It is the subconscious, or that which is hard for us to see and understand about ourselves ,so be open to what comes up for you during these next few days.

The Mercury trine Mars aspect is giving us a chance to put into words and action our new skills and understanding.  This is giving us courage and confidence and is a great time for planning or forming strategies.

Thursday April 12th: Venus in Taurus is sextile Neptune in Pisces

All that we love and value is integrated with our higher beliefs. Venus in Taurus gives this some grounding and helps us continue to create heaven here on earth... enjoy this easy and flowing aspect. We are given another ’Ahhh’ moment to sit back and just be in gratitude.

Saturday April 14th: Jupiter in Scorpio is sextile Pluto; And Mars in Capricorn is sextile Neptune

Sextile aspects are a fusion of the two planets.  There is an integration of their energies that is easy and flowing. With Jupiter in Scorpio we have the power to bring positive changes into our lives and our world.  This will feel very natural and possibly even hardly noticed after your personal growth.  With the Mars and Neptune aspect we are functioning at a higher vibration with more kindness and compassion for others.  This would be a great time to enjoy all those creative juices flowing through you, along with being a great time to get out with friends and groups of people as they will pick up on your vibration.

Sunday April 15th: Aries New Moon and Mercury goes direct

For some astrologers, the Aries New Moon is the beginning of the new year.  It actually makes more sense to have the ‘new’ be with spring and Aries after the dormant winter time to prepare.  So, forget about those New Year’s resolutions that you’ve already forgotten about and go with your New Moon!  We have Mercury moving back to direct. This is also after the time of planning and preparation (which was Mercury Rx) we can now move forward and into action.

In Spirit,

Brenda

How have you all been faring with the energies this last month? Finding balance is key to navigating this challenging times, and my personal balance has been found through limiting my technology... which has been fantastic for my own self-care, but made this blog post a smidge late! Apologies! Brenda emphases a point that though the movement of the planets is specific, the energies and themes can be felt throughout the week, building towards and moving away from astrological events.

The strong energies of last week and our Libra Full Moon continue into this week with Mars and Saturn front and center. I have the exact days below, but know that the planets are working throughout this whole time frame. When you look at your boundaries are they right for you? Do they need some realignment? Are they too restrictive or not definite enough?  You will feel your soul nudging you if you are out of alignment and Mars and Saturn will show you the way.  Pay attention to the inner you and ignore all the outside chatter.  Find the balance of our Libra Full Moon and Aries Sun.  If you are still feeling out of balance take a look at what kinds of emotions are coming forward right now. Bottom line for this week is step back and view the greater picture. We have the beautiful Venus trine Saturn energy towards the end of the week, so you can start your gratitude early and bring more of that energy forward.

Monday April 2nd: Mars conjunct Saturn in Capricorn

This is a great time to commit to a goal.  Capricorn will want to make certain that you dot the “i’s” and cross the “t’s” and not miss any steps towards that goal. You may also need to look at and possibly redefine some boundaries. With Mars here your boundaries need to be in alignment with how you want to lead your life going forward.

Wednesday April 4th: Mercury Rx in Aries square Mars in Capricorn

We have another square of our life force challenged by our words and thought forms. Think before you speak. This aspect will have the tendency to be too blunt or rush to conclusions... step back and stay aware.  This is also a powerful energy for accomplishment or a turning point, so it might be better to utilize this aspect by putting your words down in writing.  You can then edit how your words will sound.  Remind yourself to give others the time to ‘edit’ their words as well. 

Thursday April 5th: Mercury square Saturn in Capricorn

AND ANOTHER SQUARE! With this aspect with Saturn the tendency will be narrow mindedness or getting lost in the details.  Remind yourself to step back and see the big picture.  With Saturn in Capricorn this is a great time to get the hard-mental work done and off your plate.  There may still be way too much negative chatter around you so continue to shift that to something positive.  It always takes a lot of stirring up the pot before real changes can be implemented.

Mars is our life force and when we have its aspects it is asking us to live our life true to our soul.  Mars has the reputation of being the warrior because when we are forced into a position that is not in alignment with our soul we can get defensive (become the warrior). Saturn is ‘The Law’ and I think of all the manmade laws that are still on the books that are so outdated that we laugh at them. I know there is a town in Montana that has a law against riding your horse into the bar…… I also know of a man doing just that a few years ago…… it is Montana!  My point here being that we need to make certain that the laws and boundaries that we use are the right one for us at this time and always strive towards higher cosmic law.

Saturday April 7th: Venus In Taurus is trine Saturn

All that you love and value is supported and enhanced with this aspect with Saturn.  Relationships with others are more harmonious and supported.  Express your gratitude to those in your life in some way. Enjoy the ‘feel good’!

In Spirit,

Brenda

This weeks Celestial Considerations with Brenda reminds us mindfulness and remaining positive is key to successfully navigating challenging times and energies. Many of us, myself included, have been feeling the challenging energies since the beginning of this year on multiple levels. However, if we remind ourselves times like these provide us with opportunities to grow on both emotional and spiritual levels, we can persevere through these times... we can not only grow, but thrive!

Sunday March 25th

Stay grounded and don’t get caught up in negative thinking. If you even hear negative talk, switch it around to something positive in your own mind...give yourself that gift. This week has some challenging energies that if we can use them with awareness, they can be very powerful. Be gentle with yourself and others.  If need be, step back and become the observer... keep a soft focus and know what you are looking at.  Often when we face challenges, it is simply timing for our greatest growth... remain flexible and ready to change on a dime.

When I see energies that are a challenge for me, I try to look at both where the ‘hang up’ could be and where the greatest growth or lesson might be. If I have an awareness of what is happening to me and those around me, I am better able to catch myself when I start to slip. We then have momentum moving forward. There is plenty of momentum to these energies this week.

Wednesday March 28th Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries

Conjunction is a concentrated and intensified energy of these two planets on top of each other.  What you love and value for an upgrade or reformation. Add that we are in fiery Aries the leader and Uranus demands change---so go might as well go big on this one!

Thursday March 29th Aires Sun square Saturn in Capricorn

Solar Sun has your heart and soul challenged and irritated with the friction of this square with Saturn.  This aspect may make you feel restricted, weighed down by responsibilities or under pressure, possibility with some time limits. IF you do feel this don’t allow yourself to get pulled down; take a good look at what is going on; prioritize and try not to procrastinate as this could make things worse for you on down the road. Most of all, DO NOT get into self-doubt or criticism. Success often comes when we accept new responsibilities (Saturn) and ‘step up’ these circumstances help us develop our potential (Sun) and grow more fully into who we are meant to be. As always, stay aware and take this up to the highest level possible and don’t resist the challenge of a new responsibility or creative project. If nothing seems to come up for you, get creative and have fun with it.

Saturday March 31st Full Moon Libra, Venus moves into Taurus

We have another Blue Moon with two Full Moons again here in March. Full Moon is the opposition to our Aries Sun and the time when we bring forth the seed we planted during the New Moon Pisces.  With our Full Moon in Libra we want to balance these energies, and this is once again “as above so below”. We have an extra challenge with this Full Moon because we have both Mars & Saturn in Capricorn square our Sun & Moon; this is called a “T Square”.  Think of the Sun & Moon in a tug of war with Saturn and Mars looking from the best seats in the grandstand adding their heckling (friction & irritation). First, it does not have to be a tug of war but rather a balance and cooperation between the Sun and Moon. Rather than let Mars and Saturn irritate us look at this as an opportunity for a turning point to leap forward... with this energy, it could be very dynamic.  Both Aries and Capricorn are Cardinal signs which are outgoing and initiative; they like to get things started. It is time to get the ball rolling!

Venus the ruling planet of Taurus moves back home. Taurus builds the base.  It is the mortar between the bricks. While Venus is in Taurus, it gives you the opportunity to integrate all the changes and upgrades you have recently received to all that you love and value. This is also a great time to honor and appreciate those special relationships we have with others in our lives.

Sunday April 1st Sun conjunct Mercury in Aries

This energy is also deeply effecting our Full Moon. With Mercury retrograde this can be a confusing time for others to hear our words... stay aware of miscommunications.  Make certain that you get through and stay above the ‘noise’ and negative chatter around you.

In Spirit,

Brenda
