Hi, Everyone,

We've all felt the disruptive energy of Mercury in Retrograde this month, which causes delays, misunderstandings, breakdown of gadgets and computers, something getting lost or disrupted, problems with cars and other modes of transportation.  To add to this, we've had Saturn, which is the planet of structure, responsibility, challenges,and karma in difficult opposition to uranus, which is chaos,revolt, independence, and surprise.  Mercury in retrograde can also connect us with people from the past and is a good time for re-examining unresolved issues.


These are very conflicting energies, and each of us has experienced it on some level, whether it's through friends going through chaotic challenges, or disruption in our own lives.  This will pass after the 21st of this month, but it's going to augment the effects of Mercury in Retrograde, so beware.

There is a new moon in Virgo on Friday, at 2:44 pm EDT. Virgo rules health,routine, work, and service, so this is a time to manifest new beginnings in those areas.  It's a great time to start a health or detox routine, whether it's on a personal level for emotional growth, or literally a new health routine. 

A new moon is a good time to do the Law of Abundance.  Here are the instructions.  Good luck!

Take a blank check and write the date 09/18//2009.  Print out your name, where it says, "Pay to the order of," and then leave the small numeric box blank.  On the next line, print PAID IN FULL, and at the bottom where you normally sign your name, print THE LAW OF ABUNDANCE.  Blessings.

Hi, Everyone,

This is going to be an extremely pivotal summer for everyone.  To begin with, we have 3 upcoming eclipses, which in itself is an aberration because generally we have two eclipses every 6 months.  We start the Eclipse series in Cancer/Capricorn with a Lunar Eclipse on July 7th, 2009 at 5:21 AM EDT.  This eclipse is at 15 degrees of Capricorn, and anyone with planets or angles at 15 degrees of Cardinal, i.e. Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn will feel this energy. Capricorn is the sign, which rules institutions, industry, capitalism, the government, and authority.  Since Pluto, the planet of change and transformation, went into the sign of Capricorn last year, we've seen the demise of many institutional leaders and organizations.  This eclipse is probably going to bring more things to light, as eclipses are very revelatory.

Look in the news and around you for unexpected break ups, new meetings,deaths, hearing from people from the past, and information becoming uncovered with the Lunar energy this next week, in particular. A Lunar eclipse occurs approximately every 6 months, and it is an EXTRA powerful Full moon, so get ready for high emotions this month and hearing about a lot of relationship issues.  It happens when the earth is between the sun and the moon, and the shadow of the Earth falls on the moon.  Lots of wild things happen around lunar eclipses, and you might encounter a lot of "odd" people. Also, because relationships will be a lot more high strung and on edge this next 6 weeks or so, now is not the time to bring up heavy issues or to instigate big battles because during eclipse time, people can literally be "eclipsed" from our lives.

The next Eclipse in the series is a Solar Eclipse  at 29 degrees of Cancer on July 21, 2009 at 10:35 PM EDT. Look for anything in your chart, which is at a late degree of Cardinal or early degrees of fixed signs, i.e. Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, and Taurus. 
A Solar eclipse occurs when the Moon stands between the Sun and Earth, cutting off the light of the Sun. A Solar eclipse is always a new moon, and Solar Eclipses tend to bring in new beginnings in people's lives. Solar Eclipses are Extra powerful new moons, and they bring in hope and new beginnings for projects, relationships, and goals to which we apply ourselves. I have found in my study of Eclipses, both Lunar and Solar, that both tend to bring in endings and beginnings, as one inevitably defines the other;however, Solar Eclipses tend to bring in more of new beginnings, new opportunities, new connections. Manifest the energy as a new beginning in your life. On the Solar Eclipse, it is a great time to do the Law of Abundance.  Below are the instructions:

Take a blank check and write the date 07/21/2009.  Print out your name, where it says, "Pay to the order of," and then leave the small numberic box blank.  On the next line, print PAID IN FULL, and at the bottom where you normally sign your name, print THE LAW OF ABUNDANCE.

Another Eclipse to add to the mix is a Lunar Eclipse at 13 degrees of Aquarius, which falls on August 5, 2009 at 5:39 EDT. Lunar Eclipses tend to be more emotional and are Libran in nature, in that they are relationship oriented.  A lot of Aquarians and Leos, as well as the other fixed signs of Taurus and Scorpio, might find that emotional issues in relationships reach an apex in August/September. Many of the other signs will feel it, as well.  Again, it's not a time to bring up big confrontations, but if things have not been working for a while or things are imbalanced, Eclipses shake things up and open our eyes.  Good things can come to completion and fruition during Lunar Eclipses, as well;but, it's always very busy energy.

One final and major thing to add to the mix is that Pluto, which is the planet of death and regeneration is returning to the world axis of 0 degree of Capricorn on August 6th, right in the wake of the Lunar Eclipse. The world axis involves global issues and famous people. Currently, Pluto is only a degree away, and the news is focused on the tragic death of Michael Jackson, an International Pop icon, as well as the news that Bernie Madoff received 150 years for his sociopathic misuse of Capitalism, at its worst. 

Pluto will be at this axis until the end of October, and more fraud and financial issues could surface during this time;however, Pluto is the cosmic composte, which eliminates in order to transcend.  Currently, we're eliminating years of toxicity in the Capitalist system and in in our own lives.   Major issues and events have also occurred recently in Iran and Honduras, so there could be other major International events this next few months.  Good luck and blessings to all.

Hi, Everyone,

Venus, the planet of Relationships and Finances is going retrograde on 3/6/09 at 12:17 pm EST.  When a planet retrogrades, it is a good time for re-doing, reexaming, reconstructing, and reconsidering.  Often, we evaluate the past in order to proceed with the future, or we are forced to do so.  Because it is in the planet Venus, which rules partnerships, it could also be a time of reconnecting.  Everyone's karmic lesson in this will be individual.

Since is retrograding in the sign of Aries, this impacts that sign the most powerfully;however, other cardinal signs, i.e. Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn will also feel its effects.  This is not the time to ask heavy questions in relationships, like, "where is this headed?"  If you want things to work out, wait it out a little while.  Just as when mercury retrogrades, confusion and arguments can erupt in relationships, the same is true when Venus retrogrades.

Venus retrogrades every year and  half for 6 weeks. It retrogrades at 15 degrees of Aries on March 6th, and it goes direct again at 28 degrees of Pisces on April 16th.  People might experience a turning point, when Venus returns to the original retrograde station degree of 15 Aries.  Just when you thought the erratic eclipse energy was waning...

Hi, Everyone,

We've seen a lot of changes in the world and in the United States over the past year.  Pluto, which is the planet of change, death, regeneration, and which rules society has been on and off of the world axis at 0 degrees of Capricorn since January of last year.  SInce then, we've seen huge corporations and institutions either merge or go out of business, we've started a global financial crisis, we've witnessed a very historical election, and we've seen famous people and prominent people swindled out of millions and billions of dollars by under-handed people (pluto) such as Madoff.  It's not been an easy time, to say the least.  The world is a much different one than it was a year ago.

That being said, this is a new year, and ideally, we start the year by making resolutions for positive changes in our lives and to move forward.  A lot of people are entrenched in fear, and the media certainly doesn't help.  Right now, mercury, which rules communication, transportation, information transmitted by the computer, things mechanical, went retrograde on January 11th.  It's retrograding in the sign of Aquarius, which is an air sign, and yesterday there was a huge plane crash, which was luckily salvaged by a very capable and heroic pilot, and all lives were saved.  I wonder if it's not because the impending Solar Eclipse, which takes place on January 26th is combined with Jupiter, the luckiest planet and grand benefic, and this helped to bring protection.  A sad event had a happy ending. 

The next few months are going to be very intense for many of us.  To begin with, the Solar Eclipse occurs on January 26th at 6 degrees of Aquarius at 2:59 AM.  I always say to do the Law of Abundance on a new moon;however, this is a particularly special new moon, as solar eclipses occur every 6 months.  This year, we're actually going to have a series of 6 eclipses instead of 5, but one of them falls in January of 2010, but it's part of the December series.  If you don't always do the Law of Abundance, I would highly encourage you to meditate that day, since it's conjunct Jupiter, the luckiest planet, and this helps to plant seeds and bring prosperity.  Also, write a wish list of what you want to manifest.  Here are the instructions for Law of Abundance:


Here are the instructions. Take a blank check and write the date 01/26/2009.  Print out your name, where it says, "Pay to the order of," and then leave the small numberic box blank.  On the next line, print PAID IN FULL, and at the bottom where you normally sign your name, print THE LAW OF ABUNDANCE.

Mercury turns direct on January 31st, so that's not too far away.  Aquarius rules computers and the internet, so people might find more problems than normal with internet communication, people hacking into sites, etc.  However, this is a great year for Aquarians, as Jupiter the luckiest planet is in their sign and with the eclipses, this will garner much change.

The Lunar Eclipse is on February 9th at 20 degrees of Leo at 9:38 AM EST.  If you having problems at work or issues in relationships, both Solar and Lunar Eclipses invoke endings, beginnings, changes, moves, breakups, new relationships, new jobs, job loss, etc.  It brings this to fruition.  Sometimes, in a very unexpected and disruptive way, as Eclipses are like wild cards. 

Another thing to note this month is that we have one more cycle of Saturn, which represents the old, the traditional, institutions, conversatism, in opposition to Uranus, which is the new, revoluationary, the unexpected, surprise, and inspiration.  This is a difficult opposition, as they are such different planetary energies.  This was exact on Election day, when we had the oldest presidential candidate(Saturn) competing with the first African American president (uranus).

 A lot of people experienced this transit also on personal levels, whether at their jobs, personal relationships, etc.  This energy becomes exact again on January 30th at 20 degrees Virgo/20 Degrees Pisces.  Those born around the 12-14 of either September or March will feel that energy strongly.  It can be of upheaval or feeling at an impasse.  Unexpected changes. It continues through February 10th, and it continues to influence through February 28th.  Note that there might be a lot of unexpected and difficult events in the news, and in your own personal lives, as well.

One last thing to mention is that Venus, which is the planet of love and money is going to retrograde on March 6th on March 6th, 2009 at 15 degrees of Aries, and it will go direct again on April 17th.  When Venus, the planet of romance and finance, goes retrograde, there can be problems in existing relationships;however, it is also a good time for reconnecting with people from the past.  A date to note is May 2008, when Venus will return to the exact degree of 15 degrees of Aries, where it retrogrades in March.  This will be a turning point.

God bless and Happy New year to Everyone.

HI, Everyone,

This has certainly been a difficult time  financially, and it's turning into a global issue, which is even more frightening.  Each day, we turn on the news and hear about more lay offs, people not spending money, people living in fear.  The media can manipulate that fear even further, which worsens the situation.

On November 26th, Pluto, which rules societal issues and is a planet of change, endings, beginnings and transformation is going to go to 0 degree of Capricorn, which is the world axis.  My feeling is that unfortunately, it's probably going to get worse before it gets better.  We still have Saturn(restrictions, authority, old institutions) in opposition to Uranus(the unexpected, disruption, revolt, and the new), and this isn't helping matters either.  Since it starting hitting in September, we've seen the demise of many powerful institutions. 

Therefore, I think we all need to spread a message of hope instead of fear and take advantage of the new moon, which coincidentally occurs on Thanksgiving, and so we should all try to count our blessings and have gratitutde and manifest that into hope."  The new moon occurs at 11:54 AM EST, and if possible, try to do The Law of Abundance as close as possible to that time.  In fact, you could even get your family and friends to share in the event.

Here are the instructions. Take a blank check and write the date 11/27/2008.  Print out your name, where it says, "Pay to the order of," and then leave the small numberic box blank.  On the next line, print PAID IN FULL, and at the bottom where you normally sign your name, print THE LAW OF ABUNDANCE.  This is a way for the universe to bring you abundance and gifts.  God bless all of you and good luck.

Hi, Everyone,

Early tomorrow morning, we will have a new moon in Libra at 4:12 AM EDT.  As this is a very uncertain time for all of us, and we could use some abundance and hope, this is a good time to manifest dreams and prosperity.  Blessings.


Here are the instructions for "The Law of Abundance:" Try to do as close to the  time of the new moon,as possible.  The new moon occurs on 9/29/08 at 4:12 AM EDT.

Take a blank check and write the date 9/29/08.  Print out your name, where it says, "Pay to the order of," and then leave the small numberic box blank.  On the next line, print PAID IN FULL, and at the bottom where you normally sign your name, print THE LAW OF ABUNDANCE.  This is a way for the universe to bring you abundance and gifts, and we could certainly all use that at this time. :)  Best wishes.

Hi, Everyone,

Well, we've endured the eclipses in August: The Total Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 1st and the Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius on August 16th.  Eclipse invoke a lot of changes, and we will continue to see a lot of action and change unfold through the end of September. Although all of us have been influenced by these eclipses,those born under the signs of Leo and Aquarius will feel these changes dramatically.   Leos and Aquarians,as well as the other fixed signs of Scorpio and Taurus will feel these changes particularly in the area of relationships. Eclipses induce big life changes -- major beginnings and endings, new jobs, loss of jobs, career changes, marriage, divorce, new relationships, and other monumental events.

Another thing to add to this mix is that Pluto, which is the planet of change, transformation, death, and re-birth, is stationing direct in the sign of Sagittarius on September 9th.  Pluto has been in the sign of Sagittarius since 1995.  Sagittarius rules faith, religion, and belief systems.  With Pluto, the planet of power and transformation in this sign
, there have been great religious wars, big debates over Separation of Church and State at schools and universities, and prejudice and hatred have pervaded the world. When Pluto stations direct on September 9th, you can expect a lot of energy that week; as it appears to move forward, you can expect big events in the news at that time. 

Pluto, the cosmic composte, which makes us eliminate in order to grow and transcend, enters the sign of Capricorn on November 28, 2008.  This, too, will be a very important time in the world, as 0 degrees of Capricorn is on the world axis, which means major world events will happen..  Pluto was briefly in the sign of Capricorn earlier this year from January 27, 2008 through Jun 15, 2008;however, this time, it remains in the sign of Capricorn through March 23, 2023.  Pluto orbits approximately every 245 years, and the last time it was in the sign of Capricorn, the American Revolution took place.

Capricorn rules government, institutions, and big corporations.  In the last couple of years, as Pluto, the planet of power, has gotten closer to the sign of Capricorn, our society has started to seem more Orwellian;people are able to trace others through GPS, obtain personal information over the internet, and steal other people's identity.  When Pluto enters the sign of Capricorn at the end of this year, issues of personal invasion and privacy might become more problematic.

Another critical influence this fall, is that Saturn, which is the cosmic cop, Karma, responsibility, government, and authority is going to oppose Uranus, which is the planet of rebellion,dissent, chaos, and the unexpected, starting this September;The influence becomes exact on the day of the election, November 4, 2008.  Saturn can represent the past, and Uranus can represent the future. While it seems that there is a huge impasse in regards to change in the world, it is the constant theme word of this election.  Saturn as an opposing force will not facilitate this change, by any means.

This could be a very close election, and it also could be one filled with a lot of the unexpected and surprise, as Uranus is the unexpected.  The last time this Saturn/Uranus cycle took place was between the years of 1964 through 1966.  The 60's were a time of chaos, revolt against the government,ingenious music,individualism, and self expression;This was the generation which rebelled against authority and the war in Vietnam in its ideals for future hopes of peace.  It will be interesting to see how Generation Y will conduct this new revolt and quest for peace and love.  Hopefully, people will start to believe that it can still exist.

Hi, Everyone,

August has almost left us, and for most I know, it has been a crazy month,  These elipses have spurred a lot of relationship issues, confusion, deception, and disappointment. 

The good news is that we have a second new moon on August 30th in the sign of Virgo, which will be a nice time to plant seeds, do the Law of Abundance, and write a new moon wish list.  Below are the instructions.  Blessed be.

-- Tisch

"The Law of Abundance:" Try to do as close to the  time of the new moon,as possible.  The new moon  which occurs at 3:58 EDT on 8/30/2008.

Take a blank check and write the date 8/30/2008.  Print out your name, where it says, "Pay to the order of," and then leave the small numberic box blank.  On the next line, print PAID IN FULL, and at the bottom where you normally sign your name, print THE LAW OF ABUNDANCE.  This is a way for the universe to bring you abundance and gifts.

Hi, Everyone,

We have a lot of planetary action this August, so get prepared.  We begin the month on Friday, August 1st with a , Solar Total Eclipse at 9 degrees of Leo at 6:22 AM EDT.  We also have a Lunar Partial Eclipse at 24 degrees of Aquarius on August 16th,2008 at 5:10 pm EDT. Eclipses impact everyone; but, the signs which will be most significantly impacted are Leo and Aquarius.  Not to mention, the other fixed signs: Taurus and Scorpio. 

In February, we had our last series of eclipses in Virgo/Pisces with a Total Lunar Eclipse on February 20th.  We  also began a completely new series of eclipses in the signs of Aquarius and Leo on February 7, 2008, and this series will occur every 6 months through January 26,2010.  As Virgos and Pisces can tell their successors -- Eclipses invoke much change in our lives.  When eclipses occur in our sun signs, we experience monumental life occurances: Births, deaths, marriages, divorce, new relationships,new jobs, and loss of jobs,etc.

A Solar Eclipse eclipse occurs every 6 months, however a Total Solar Eclipse occurs every 2 years, and this one is an EXTRA powerful and special eclipse.  A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon stands between the Sun and the Earth, cutting off the light of the sun.

A Solar Eclipse is always a new moon, and Solar Eclipses tend to bring in new beginnings in people's lives.  I've found in my study of Eclipses that both Solar and Lunar can be either endings or beginnings, or both at that same time, for that matter.  However, I usually find that Solar Eclipses tend to bring in new people, new opportunities, and new relationships, especially, since it is in the sign of Leo, which rules romance.

As I'd mentioned, the Solar Eclipse is in the sign of Leo, which rules the heart, romance, vitality, creativity, and children.  It also rules celebrity, so you might find even more celebrity scandals or big events connected with them than usual.

Because the Solar Eclipse is a very special New Moon, it is an excellent time to plant seeds, initiate projects, write a wish list and focus on things you want to actualize in your life.  You might want to write a New Moon wish list on Friday, August 1st and be very specific of what you want the universe to deliver, obviously within reason.  Another thing to do, which is quite powerful, is to do the Law of Abundance.  Below are the instructions for LOA, and it is a wish for the universe to bring you abundance.

"The Law of Abundance:" Try to do as close to the  time of the Solar Eclipse as possible, which is on 8/1/2008
at 6:22 AM EDT.  Take a blank check and write the date of the Solar Eclipse.  Print out your name, where it says, "Pay to the order of," and then leave the small numberic box blank.  On the next line, print PAID IN FULL, and at the bottom where you normally sign your name, print THE LAW OF ABUNDANCE.  This is a way for the universe to bring you abundance and gifts.

Next, we have the Lunar Eclipse at 24 degrees of Aquarius on August 16th, 2008 at 5:10 PM EDT.
A Lunar eclipse occurs approximately every 6 months, and it is an EXTRA powerful Full moon, so get ready for high emotions this month and hearing about a lot of relationship issues.  The sign of Aquarius rules groups, humanitarianism, but also Astrology, technology, and the internet.

A lunar eclipse happens when the earth is between the sun and the moon, and the shadow of the Earth falls on the moon.  Lots of wild things happen around lunar eclipses, and you might encounter a lot of "odd" people.  Because it's in the sign of Aquarius, there could be issues with technology or the internet, so there could be lack of predictability with gadgets, computers, phones. One positive aspect about eclipses is sometimes they bring things to a head and bring resolution, so if there is a problem one is grappling with, this lunar eclipse could help to bring some closure in the matter.

Now is NOT the time to bring in heavy discussions in relationships or to force issues.  Wait a bit for the eclipse energy to wane and let things unfold a bit.  This craziness should settle down by the middle to end of September.  Look in the news and around you for unexpected break ups, new meetings, hearing from people from the past, and information becoming uncovered.

No matter what,  the month of August through mid September will be a very active time for all of us.  Eclipses are like wild cards, and it is hard to pin down just exactly how they will manifest in one's life;but, one can expect to be very busy during this period, and one can expect to be going through some stress, as well as a lot of excitement.  Keep in mind that great new beginnings can occur;sometimes, they occur completely out of the blue, so this could mark a very exciting period indeed.  Best of luck and good wishes.

Hi, Everyone,

There is a lot of planetary energy concurring now in the cosmos.  To begin with, Mars, which is the planet of Agression, War, Sexuality, and Energy, has been retrograde since November 15 and is going direct in motion today, January 30th.  When a planet retrogrades, it appears to move backwards, and energy can be thwarted, projects can come to an impasse, and people can sometimes recede in relationships.  The good news is that now that Mars, the Action Planet, is going direct, there should be a big burst of energy, and Energy is the definition of the month of February. We can expect A LOT of action this coming month.

As Mars moves direct, Mercury, the planet of Communication,is going to retrograde in the sign of Aquarius.  The sign of Aquarius rules Technology, Gadgets, and the Internet, and Mercury will be retrograde in the sign of Aquarius from January 28th until February 19th.  When Mercury is in retrograde, I often hear clients complain about problems with their computers, wrong phone numbers,arguments and miscommunication, as well as  losing objects, problems with their cars breaking down, etc.  With Mercury in retrograde in the sign of Aquarius, this is doubly true, at least on the gadget part ;so. it is best to be patient and be forewarned.

Another big motion to add to the mix is that we have two major Eclipses in the month of February, including a Solar Eclipse  in Aquarius on February 6th at 10:56 EST, and a Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on February 20th at 10:27 pm EST.  The Solar Eclipse in the sign axis of Aquarius/Leo evokes a new series of Eclipses in these signs, which will continue through January 26 of 2010. 
A Solar eclipse occurs when the Moon stands between the Sun and Earth, cutting off the light of the Sun. A Solar eclipse is always a new moon, and Solar Eclipses tend to bring in new beginnings in people's lives. Solar Eclipses are extra powerful new moons, and they bring in hope and new beginnings for projects, relationships, and goals to which we apply ourselves. Manifest the energy as a new beginning in your life.  The fact that this new beginning occurs in the sign of Aquarius, which also rules Groups and Friendships, and it is on the axis of Leo, which rules Fun and Romance: Consider this a gift from the Universe to make new changes in your social life.

I've found in my study of Eclipses that both Solar and Lunar Eclipses can
represent either Endings or Beginnings -- often at the same time. However, it usually seems that Solar Eclipses tend to bring in new people, new opportunities, and new relationships.  No matter what, Aquarians and Leos are going to find a lot of Beginnings, Endings, and much change and movement this next two years. Individuals under the signs of Aquarius and Leo, as well as the other fixed signs of Taurus and Scorpio might find this Solar Eclipse on February 6th helpful in bringing new romantic relationships and new people into their lives.

The Lunar Eclipse on February 20th, however, marks an ending, as it will be the final Eclipse in the sign axis of Pisces/Virgo, which began in March of 2006.  Most Virgos and Pisces, as well as the other Mutable signs Gemini and Sagittarius,have gone through much change and struggle; but, the fact that this is a a Total Lunar Eclipse signifies conclusion and endings of much of this struggle. People born under these signs might find this is a way of alleviating some of the  tests that have been thrown to them these past two years, often out of the blue, with these eclipses.

The upcoming Total Lunar Eclipse in in Virgo
could help to end a cycle, which has been very challenging for many of my clients in terms of relationships, work matters, and in their life direction.  Eclipses often uncover matters, which may have remained hidden up until now.  Eclipses also help to bring closure in partnerships, especially when they are unhealthy, as well as endings and culmination of matters, in general.  On the other hand, it could help open up communication to bring in healing in unresolved matters of the heart. 

A Lunar eclipses occur approximately every 6 months, and it is an extra powerful full moon, so get ready for high emotions this month and hearing about a lot of relationship issues.   A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, and the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon.  Lots of wild things happen around lunar eclipses, and one might encounter a lot of "odd" people or occurences. One positive aspect about eclipses is sometimes they bring things to a head and bring resolution, so if there is a problem one is grappling with, this lunar eclipse could help to bring some closure in the matter.

I wish you much blessings and good luck in your ventures.  Get ready for a bumby but exciting ride into the month of love.

By the middle of June, it's going to be quite a significant time for most people, as it's the completion of the Saturn-Neptune opposition. We've already experienced the same aspect in February and March of 2007 and August of 2006. During this time relationships can get cloudy and confused and life in general can be rather upsetting.

It's a good month to avoid major decisions and wait out the conflicts these two planets bring out, with the help of meditation, patience and perhaps some spiritual cleansing. Just knowing that the energies creating havoc in your household may not be in your control can help you get through the month.

The Saturn-Neptune forces
Saturn is the planet of Karma, responsibility, challenges, restrictions, and rewards for hard work. It is currently in the sign of Leo, which rules celebrity, entertainment, children and gambling. Neptune can be spiritual and artistic and romantic, but on the other hand the planet's dark side can be deceptive, escapist, and addictive.

Saturn is the planet that forces an individual to face things they may not want to see and to take responsibility for their actions. But when Saturn is in a difficult aspect to Neptune, as it is right now, it can make us want to escape our troubled relationships. Under this influence it's an important time to beware of excess.

Cues from the past
Think about the last time we had this aspect -- in February and March of this year. Anna Nicole Smith's drug overdose, as well as frequent celebrity DUI's, Britney Spears' mental breakdown, and Lindsay Lohan's rehab were all in the news. As we began this Saturn-Uranus opposition, Paris Hilton and Lewis "Scooter" Libby made headlines as they went off to begin serving time.

Keep your eye on your finances too, as the stock market took a tumble back in February, but fortunately it has since recovered. Saturn can represent institutions like the stock market and Neptune in opposition is not a good placement.

Mercury retrograde joins in
Mercury retrograde from June 15th through July 9th will complicate the month's planetary energies by further fogging our vision and communications. You might find that unfinished business, relationship upsets or other issues which date back to the previous Mercury retrograde (Feb 13th- March 8th) get resolved at this time. But the technical problems with cars, phones and computers that can cause breakdowns in communication that are so prevalent during this period, combined with the full effect of Neptune could make all of us a bit directionless, if not tired and confused.

The good news? This, too, shall pass.

Hi, Everyone,

First of all, at 1:00 am EST, there is a new moon at 1:01 am at 17 degrees of Libra, which is a cardinal sign and is ruled by the planet Venus, which is the planet of Love and Money.  No matter big or small, we begin projects during new moon timeframes, and no matter what, you'll start something new during this time.  With venus as the ruler of the new moon, it is great for financial endeavors, love matters, parties, buying beautiful objects, etc.

Another thing to add to the mx is that Mercury, which rules the planet of Communication is going retrograde on Friday, October 12th.  When a planet retrogrades, its energy gets thwarted, and especially with the planet of communication involved, be wary of miscommunication or senseless arguments, people not saying what they mean, break downs in electronics or telephones, or any other gadgets, which convey information.  It's a good time for resolving issues, and you could hear from old clients, friends, and people from the past.

This is particularly pertinent to the sign of scoripio, where it is stationing at 8  degrees of scorpio  on October 12th and will appear to move backwards until e it stations direct and starts to move forward again on November 2nd at 23 degrees of Libra.  Relationships should be more harmonious and copasetic after the beginning/middle of the month.
