Readings are always a two way street and the responsibility of both client and advisor. Below I’ve written about some pointers to help you get a high quality reading from any Advisor you should choose.
These tips are based on my vast experience as both an Advisor and as a client who also gets readings.
But do NOTE that all I’ve written here does assume that the Advisor is a good psychic.
I: RELAX AND OPEN YOUR ENERGY
The more relaxed and open the client is, the better able the Advisor is to get good information. It is important to try to relax, be open and honest, and trust. Know that you are not just putting trust in the Advisor you are talking to, but you are showing your trust in Spirit and the Universe.
The reason that being opened, relaxed and trusting is important is two fold:
a: Spirit is VERY respectful and if the client is blocking something, then the Advisor will NOT “get” it because the client does not want it shown.
b: The more “closed” the client is, the less likely the Advisor is to get good, detailed and accurate information for them.
If you approach a reading with any Advisor in a “closed” or “untrusting” manner, ask yourself why? It is entirely possible that you sense the Advisor is not the one for you OR that you don’t want a reading at all, whether that’s conscious or subconscious.
A similar problem arises when a client calls an Advisor when they’re in an environment in which they don’t want to be over heard and are whispering. The more energy the Advisor is putting in to hearing the client, the less energy they’re putting into “getting” information. This is especially the case for Clairaudient Advisors. And the fact that the client is literally “blocking” being heard by those around them, has a similar effect to the general “blocking” I spoke of above.
In all of the above instances, it is not that it is impossible for the Advisor to read for you, we all will. But the client does decrease the quality of their reading in doing so.
Know that the client sets the tone of the reading much more so than does the Advisor. This is, after all, YOUR reading. The information is between you and Spirit. The Advisor is simply a channel between the two.
A colleague of mine once said, “It’s a simple analogy, I can paint your house but not if you don’t open the door and let me in”. ~ J. E.
II: CLARITY AND FOCUS:
Have a good idea of what exactly you are seeking information on. The more clear you are in your mind, the more clear the answers will be. Of course, it is always possible that Spirit will give information in addition to your questions. But your clarity helps immensely, at least to start the reading with.
During your reading try to stay focused on the topic and the reading itself. If your mind wanders a bit or you’re multitasking during the reading, it takes the Advisor out of the energy of the topic at hand. This is particularly true of Advisors who are empathic like me. Again, the same theme as the aforementioned, we (the Advisor) follow you (the client).
YOU are our link to the information you seek.
III: CALM AND OPEN MINDED:
In general, most Advisors are more effective in reading a client who is fairly calm. That is not to say don’t call when you’re upset. That is fine and perfectly understandable. But do understand that the Advisor is going to have to “get around” your emotional state in order to start reading for you.
We all have opinions and preconceived notions about the situations in our lives. That is human nature. To whatever extent is possible for you, try to put those opinions away during your reading. If you are thinking and speaking INTENTLY of your opinion, it is possible that the Advisor will pick up on that energy and simply mirror it back to you. That is NOT what you want. Regardless of your opinion, you still question it in your mind or you would not be asking Spirit for an answer. So try to put that aside.
I’ll give you an example because this is a concept that is a little more abstract. A client of mine recently phoned me about a man that she’s been seeing a short time and was recently intimate with. After their lovely night of intimacy, she did not hear from him for 2 days. She was just oh so certain he was blowing her off and was gone. She voiced that opinion to me long and loud and was very angry with him. Her opinion was NOT my read. My read was that nothing had changed for him and he’d be on the phone soon. He called that night and delivered roses the next day. GREAT!!! I was able to read her situation accurately despite her opinion and her anger. BUT more precious time had to be spent to get that information because I had to bypass her energy, very strong opinion, and what she was strongly putting out there. And I was not able to get details on him I might have otherwise gotten because she was blocking the road to that with her anger. Her concern and fear were understandable, but she did not help out the quality of her reading.
Of course, in any reading, all Advisors should be open to hearing your opinion and you should feel comfortable in stating it. Just be careful to not assert it so strongly that it blocks the road to truth. Stay open minded enough to possibly hear any information that may come through. Of course, we may very well find that your opinion is accurate. Just stay open minded during the reading.
IV: DURATION
Duration is almost completely the decision of the client. Most Advisors, to the extent possible, stay with the client on the phone as long as the client needs or wants.
However, and this is true of all Advisors, do not expect an immense amount from readings under 5 minutes. That is not a lot of time for anyone to operate in and it is likely that the quality and accuracy of a reading is decreased when an Advisor is operating in a very short time line. This is most true of new clients to the Advisor or clients that call an Advisor very infrequently.
This does NOT typically apply to an Advisor’s regular clients that they know well. Any good Advisor can get into the energy of a regular client very quickly and be very accurate for them in under 5 minutes.
But with new clients, we are entering unchartered territory for us and we have to figure out our way for you. That’s not to say you cannot get a decent reading in a couple of minutes but it’s simply not as likely so adjust your expectations accordingly.
That said, BEWARE of Advisors that attempt to enlongate phone calls, talk of themselves and their lives without your having asked them, avoid answering your questions, and go into areas in the reading that you don’t wish to have read or have not asked about. This is unacceptable and it is NOT for the Advisor to spend your money!!!!!
Similarly, clients who talk for two minutes, put the advisor on hold to recharge their account with additional money, then talk again for two minutes, then recharge their account, then talk for 2 minutes and so on, are NOT doing themselves any favors in getting a good reading. The Advisor is attempting to energetically link into you. So when you go back and forth every couple of minutes you are disturbing that “link” and risking declining the quality of the reading. It’s totally understandable to attempt to manage your money, but in most instances you’re better off loading the account for a few more minutes duration instead of going back and forth every couple of minutes.
After all of that, it is TOTALLY up to the Advisor to take it from there!!! For the client, we’re really only talking about your mind set, mood and energy going into the call. It’s simply Universal Law, we attract the very energy we are putting out there. That Law applies to getting readings as well.
I hope many find this helpful and in incorporating these tips in your readings find that you enjoy your readings that much more. Afterall, that’s what it’s supposed to be all about!!!!
Much Love and Light to you, Lyrica
Today, Wed., April 2nd, at 5:23am, Pluto went retrograde in Capricorn and will remain in retrograde motion until Sept. 9th. For the next several months, much will be hidden under the surface. It may be more difficult to complete or resolve issues surrounding partnerships (business and sexual), inheritances, and possessions held jointly. Retrograde Pluto typically does not do much good for the financial markets either.
But whenever any planet is retrograde, it’s the journey within that is important. Letting go of old thought patterns and replacing them with more life affirming ones will enable us all to succeed.
On June 13th, Pluto will back up into Sagittarius, for it’s last swing there through Nov. 26th. Pluto has been in Sagittarius since the late ‘90s. These last few weeks will be the end of whatever lessons Pluto was there to teach. Pay close attention to what that means for you.
Pluto in Sagittarius will likely bring another increase in oil / gas prices for us. Once it re-enters Capricorn in late Nov., we will see an end to that. Pluto will then remain in Capricorn until Jan. 21st, 2024. Pluto in Capricorn will mean, among other things, a heightened awareness of privacy and likely more revisions in privacy laws in general.
Additionally, we have Mercury Squaring Pluto today, and it was exact at 4:53am EDT. This alignment is what Temper Tantrums are made of. People are likely to be a bit more pushy than usual, and quite aggressive. There could easily be a conflict or two to deal with. Talking openly and from the heart may help to bring resolution. Or it may be wise to avoid those that you find difficult to begin with for the next couple of days until this energy passes.
Mercury Enters the sign of Aries this afternoon at 1:45pm EDT and will remain there until April 17th. Communication and thoughts will become more assertive and direct. People are also more easily angered with this placement. Side step unimportant arguments, but face necessary ones head on, as this energy assists in quick resolutions. Arian energy prefers to deal with things honestly and directly. This energy assists in solving pressing problems and making positive plans for the future. Use it well, we have 2 weeks of it.
Lastly, the Moon is “Void Of Course” (between signs) all day today through 4:55pm EDT. During void of course periods it is better not to make any large purchases or decisions, as they don’t tend to work out all that well. At 4:55pm EDT, today, the Moon will move into the Sign of Pisces for the next 48 hours.
On Sat., April 5th, at 11:55pm EDT, we have this month’s New Moon and it will occur in the Sign of Aries. Astrologers consider the 48 hours leading up to the New Moon the “Dark Of The Moon” period. In these periods, it is important to finish up old or pressing issues that are lingering. Wait to begin any new project or endeavor until the New Moon hits, as it is effective in assisting with “New Beginnings”. New Moon energies last for 2 weeks, diminishing in their effects each day after the New Moon is exact.
Below is a listing of the planets’ current position. Please note that as of this morning, we now have two planets in retrograde, Saturn and Pluto.
Current Planet Positions:
Sun – Aries, until April 20
Mercury – Aries, until April 17
Venus – Pisces, until April 5
Mars – Cancer, until May 9
Jupiter – Capricorn, until Jan. 5 (2009)
Saturn (R) – Virgo, until Oct. 29 (2009)
Uranus – Pisces, until Mar. 12 (2011)
Neptune – Aquarius, until Feb. 4 (2012)
Pluto (R) – Capricorn, until June 14
Tomorrow, Friday, March 21st at 2:40pm EDT we will have a Full Moon in Libra. This is the Sign of Partnerships, amongst other things. Full Moons bring in culminations or closures. Thus any issues regarding relationships (of any kind) may well surface at this time. It could be stepping up a relationship to another level, could be a break up, or could be just the sorting out of problems. But no matter what, relationships are emphasized and any hidden tensions will be brought to the surface now.
Always keep in mind that Full Moon energies begin about 4 days preceding the actual Full Moon and their effects last for another 4 days thereafter. So we are, and have been, in this energy already.
Full Moons are always to be respected but this one may be a little more fraught with difficulty than usual. This Full Moon in Libra OPPOSES the Sun in Aries. Also, at the same time, Mars in Cancer is OPPOSING Pluto in Capricorn. As a result, all of the above planets are also SQUARING (means conflict in Astrology) one another. Even if you know nothing of Astrology, one can tell this doesn't even sound good. This particular alignment is called a CARDINAL CROSS, as all of the planets mentioned are in CARDINAL signs to boot! The planets are literally warring, being set up at 90 and 180 degree angles from one another.
So this energy has been, and may continue to be, a bit burdensome and frustrating and makes one feel an urgency to act!!! So many of us can expect some sort of closure around now. Likely, you already know what it is if these planets are hitting your chart in sensitive areas.
Do keep in mind that closures, in and of themselves, are not necessarily a bad thing, but likely healthy. That is especially so when planetary alignments such as this one creates the change. But do NOT make negative assumptions about a relationship that is not broken. Planets never effect negatively healthy relationships. They can force to conclusion unhealthy relationships though. And they can step up a healthy relationship.
Another way we know this energy will be emphasized is by looking at the ruling houses. The Sun and the Full Moon are traveling houses ruling mental and physical health. Simultaneously, Mars and Pluto are traveling through houses ruling attitude and perception. This Full Moon and Cardinal Square may help all of us to reach a transformative point, if it hasn't already.
Configurations like this allow us to see the truth of a situation clearly so that we become more energized to fix it. This is likely the most important point of this entire newsletter.
All of the aforementioned applies to one and all. Now I will attempt to be more specific for each sign.
Below I have listed what houses Libra emphasizes for each sign. If you know your Rising Sign, as well as your Sun sign, do note both houses. They are equally important.
For Capricorn, it’s the 10th house of career, authority, reality, status.
For Aquarius, it’s the 9th house of Foreign affairs, travel, higher education, religion, values, higher ideals.
For Pisces, it’s the 8th house of sex, other people’s money, shared resources, self mastery, death, transformation.
For Aries, it’s the 7th house of Partners (of any kind), open enemies, competition, visual beauty, balance.
For Taurus, it’s the 6th house of health, work, colleagues, employees.
For Gemini, it’s the 5th house of love affairs, creativity, children, risk taking, self-esteem.
For Cancer, it’s the 4th house of home, family, dependency, nurturing, parents.
For Leo, it’s the 3rd house of communication, siblings, near vicinity (neighborhood), transportation, learning. Your sibling(s) may be the very relationship being highlighted right now.
For Virgo, it’s the 2nd house of earned income, tangible beauty, comfort, pleasure.
For Libra, it’s the 1st house of self, identity, appearance, self action, instincts. Basically for Librans, it can affect any area of your life that you hold as personal to you. It's probably important to note that Aries, Capricorn and Cancer will also have some 1st House impact because of the involvement of the Sun, Pluto and Mars.
For Scorpio, it’s the 12th house of the sub-conscious mind, higher self, need for oneness, visions, dreams, and endings. Trust your intuition even more than usual!
For Sagittarius, it’s the 11th house of hopes and wishes, friends, groups, causes.
One final note, try to stay out of the way of anyone looking for a fight or argument. Because Mars is so strong in this mix, it's likely about ego anyway and not worth the battle. The fact that Mars is in Cancer indicates the ego battle would be quite emotional as well. It wouldn't be a bad idea to be careful driving for the next few days either.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Today is the first day of Spring, The Spring Equinox, due to the Sun's move into Aries this morning, March 20th at 1:49am EDT. Aries is the FIRST sign of the zodiac, thus Astrologically, it's the New Year! Unlike our use of the Roman calendar of Jan. 1st, which is seemingly an arbitrary date.
Aries energy is vigorous, vital, energetic and has a great love of living, so this change in the Sun should give everyone these feelings. It's a time to make plans and new beginnings. A stronger enthusiasm for life should be felt by one and all. Arians seize opportunities, and now with this energy, so should everyone. Valuing freedom and independence will also be felt more strongly now.
That said, I would hold off on new beginnings until after this Full Moon coming up tomorrow. More on that in a bit.....
Enjoy the energy! Happy Spring! Happy New Year!
Below is a listing of the current planetary line up and the signs each planet is in.
The Moon is not listed below, as it changes signs roughly every 48 hours. Currently, the Moon is in Virgo. At 3:28pm EDT today, the moon will go "void of course" (which means it will be between signs for a period. It will stay "void of course" until tomorrow, Friday, March 21st, at 11:45am EDT, at which time it enters the sign of Libra.
It is important to respect that when the moon is "void of course", all of us get a little more sluggish and have less clarity. It's also important to avoid big purchases and decisions during "void of course" moons. Void of course periods vary in length, some are as short as a couple of minutes and some are as long as nearly 24 hours.
Here's the rest of the line up:
Current Planet Positions:
Sun – Aries, until April 20
Mercury – Pisces, until April 2
Venus – Pisces, until April 5
Mars – Cancer, until May 9
Jupiter – Capricorn, until Jan. 5 (2009)
Saturn (R) – Virgo, until Oct. 29 (2009)
Uranus – Pisces, until Mar. 12 (2011)
Neptune – Aquarius, until Feb. 4 (2012)
Pluto – Capricorn, until June 14

I came across this on the internet and found it interesting. More on this topic can be found at bemyastrologer.com
The Earth Signs respond to stress in the most physical manner:

The Fire Signs respond to stress in the most behavioral manner:
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius
withdrawal, antisocial acts, inability to rest, intensified pacing, erratic movements, change in social activity, change in speech patterns, loss or increase of appetite, hyper alert to environment, increased alcohol consumption, change in usual communications
....as we have Venus in Pisces opposing Saturn in Virgo which is exact at 4:16pm. This is a reality based transit and everyone will be more concerned about the truth than usual. It can be hard on love and money BUT it's a good time for shopping if you need to stick to a budget. It's also not real great for socializing or parties of any kind, as there is a heaviness to the energy.
There is a tendency to want to stick to the tried and true or what we know. It can put us at odds with partners as well.
Relationships begun now would likely be solid and stand the test of time, but unlikely to be very exciting.
Additionally, it can make people feel a bit isolated and lonely, and stir up some unresolved or unsatisfied desires.
Know that this energy is passing and is at it's height today. It will wane over the next couple of days though, so try not to take it too seriously.
Much Love, Lyrica
As of today, Friday, March 14th, Pisces enters Mercury at 6:46pm EDT until April 2nd. Mercury now joins the Sun, Venus and Uranus in Pisces. Including Mars (in Cancer), we now have all of the inner planets in water signs.
Mercury entering Pisces this evening will be quite an energy shift after having spent so much time in the Air sign of Aquarius. Also, any lingering affects of the previous Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius, should now be behind us. I know many people that were still saying, "is Mercury still retrograde?", well after it hit direct motion. I felt the same. The energy of this planet going retrograde does seem to be lingering longer recently.
Anyone with strong placements in the sign of Pisces should use all of this energy to their advantage, as the cosmos is supporting you strongly. So make a point of moving forward your projects and goals now. See below for the dates that these planets start exiting Pisces.
In general, people will be speaking with a more gentle and pleasing tone than in weeks past. However, it is important to be careful of misunderstandings with this placement, as Pisces is Neptune ruled. Neptune is the planet of confusion and illusion, amongst other things. Just ask for clarity if you suspect some misunderstandings, as you're likely right. The way that Pisces tests us is through misdirection. However, if you keep things clear, Pisces also can deliver greater understanding, higher consciousness, and artistry. THAT is the beauty of Pisces energy.
On another note, we have Mars in Cancer Sextiling Saturn in Virgo today and it's exact at 5:24pm EDT. So we've been in this energy for a couple of days now but it is at it's height today.
Mars Sextiling Saturn is a very grounding energy and is good for hard work and attention to detail. It would behoove you to finish up any lingering projects, as much can be accomplished today with more ease than on other occasions. However, because it's a sextile, this energy does not just happen, it must be worked with. But now you know....
Below is the current line up of planets.
Current Planet Positions:
Sun – Pisces, until March 19
Mercury – Pisces, until April 2
Venus – Pisces, until April 5
Mars – Cancer, until May 9
Jupiter – Capricorn, until Jan. 5 (2009)
Saturn (R) – Virgo, until Oct. 29 (2009)
Uranus – Pisces, until Mar. 12 (2011)
Neptune – Aquarius, until Feb. 4 (2012)
Pluto – Capricorn, until June 14
Venus Sextiles Pluto Thursday, March 13th, at 3:07pm EDT.
This is a GREAT day for love. One of the best days to bring the love you may want into your life. The desire for deeper understanding and relationsips will increase with this aspect.
Also, everyone's need to understand and empathize with others will strengthen.
This aspect, due to Pluto's involvement, allows us to delve deeper into the under current of any relationship.
However, this does NOT guarantee success. It merely increases everyone's heart's desire. If it's mutual, it could seal the deal. If not, it simply won't.
This is an excellent time to get to the bottom of things and really explore what is going on.
If this hits your chart directly, it can easily change the direction of a relationship.
Other than that, this can be a very pleasant day. Enjoy!!!!!
Today, March 12th, at 6:51pm EDT, Venus entered Pisces until April 5th.
Pisces is the MOST Spiritual sign of the zodiac. Venus is the planet of love and money. So this placement brings all of us a more Spiritual / altruistic view of love and money, at least through early April.
However, relationships can become quite confused during this period, since Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of multiple things, but one is confusion and illusion.
Everyone will be seeking more "Universal love". This is a wonderful thing as long as relationships are kept in perspective.
A new relationship that is begun during this period would have a calm and Spiritual tone to it. But may not be terribly exciting or very physical.
It's important to be very careful with money during this period, as the Neptune influence, can cause confusion and an inflation of what you find "valuable". Be careful with your spending.
BUT this really is a lovely aspect and should be enjoyed as long as the pitfalls of the energy are avoided.
Below is a listing of the current planet placements:
Current Planet Positions:
Sun – Pisces, until March 19
Mercury – Aquarius, until March 14
Venus – Pisces, until April 5
Mars – Cancer, until May 9
Jupiter – Capricorn, until Jan. 5 (2009)
Saturn (R) – Virgo, until Oct. 29 (2009)
Uranus – Pisces, until Mar. 12 (2011)
Neptune – Aquarius, until Feb. 4 (2012)
Pluto – Capricorn, until June 14
Sun – Aquarius, until February 19
Mercury (R) – Aquarius, until March 14
Venus – Capricorn, until February 18
Mars – Gemini, until March 3
Jupiter – Capricorn, until Jan. 5 (2009)
Saturn (R) – Virgo, until Oct. 29 (2009)
Uranus – Pisces, until Mar. 12 (2011)
Neptune – Aquarius, until Feb. 4 (2012)
Pluto – Capricorn, until June 14
Yesterday, Jupiter entered the sign of Capricorn, for the first time since 1996, and will remain there until January 5, 2009. It is said that Jupiter is the sign of benevolence, expansion, protection and good luck. It will now be gracing all Capricorns in this way for the next 12 months. The ONLY draw back to this is to note that there is a tendency to gain a little weight whenever Jupiter is in your sign. So all Capricorns may want to watch the scale a little more closely in 2008 if this is a concern for you. Expansion is the key word for Jupiter and it does translate to the physical body!
Jupiter spent 2007 in the very expansive sign of Sagittarius, which is it’s Home. In 2008 we will all feel a shift in Jupiter’s energy as it transits the more conservative earth sign of Capricorn. Contained and well-founded growth will be the theme for all of us. Unbridled expansion will not be permissible, which is the lesson of this coupling. But if the energy is handled well, the rewards will come to us in due time. If expansion is sought out too aggressively or quickly, set backs will be experienced. Building a strong foundation in order to grow, advance and expand is what will be important through early January 2009. Build your foundations well for your endeavors and you can expect steady and prosperous growth.
Below I have listed what houses Capricorn emphasizes for each sign. If you know your Rising Sign, as well as your Sun sign, do note both houses. They are equally important. For an idea of what 2008 MAY hold for you, think back to 1996 for a clue. That was the last time Jupiter was in the sign of Capricorn!!!
For Aries, it’s the 10th house of career, authority, reality, status. Arians will enjoy advancement in all of these categories!
For Taurus, it’s the 9th house of Foreign affairs, travel, higher education, religion, values, higher ideals. Watch out Taurus, you will be traveling more in 2008 and experiencing a lot of change in the “higher” mind and consciousness.
For Gemini, it’s the 8th house of sex, other people’s money, shared resources, self mastery, death. Um, need I say more? The sex drive and ability to utilize it WILL sky rocket now! You are the sex God/Goddess of the zodiac for the next year. You are also extra lucky now with any loan applications.
For Cancer, it’s the 7th house of Partners, open enemies, competition, visual beauty, balance. It’s important to note that some Cancers may see 2008 as the year that they marry and/or establish a vital and important business partnership. You will be very concerned with your visual beauty and improving it. 2008 will be your year of feeling much more “balanced” than you have in years passed.
For Leo, it’s the 6th house of health, work, colleagues, employees. Leos, your health and your work are protected this year! Take advantage of it. Build your foundation, move forward!
For Virgo, it’s the 5th house of love affairs, creativity, children, risk taking, self-esteem. It’s important to note that some Virgos may well see 2008 being a high period in their love lives and / or their creative projects. Pregnancy or an especially good year with existing children is also a strong possibility. If you do not want a new child this year, be especially careful!!!!!!!!!!!!
For Libra, it’s the 4th house of home, family, dependency, nurturing, parents. Many Libras are due to see a vast improvement in their living / home circumstances. A change or upscaling of residence is highly likely. Enjoy your parents as well, your relationship with them will be fulfilling.
For Scorpio, it’s the 3rd house of communication, siblings, near vicinity (neighborhood), transportation, learning. Siblings become more prominent than usual in 2008, as does your neighborhood, travel and the WAY or MODE in which you communicate! Oddly, but accurately, 2008 is a good year for you to buy and upgrade your electronics.
For Sagittarius, it’s the 2nd house of earned income, tangible beauty, comfort, pleasure. None to worry that Jupiter left your sign, because now it will guide the way for you in your earnings!!! Make no mistake, money is going to improve vastly.
For Capricorn, it’s the 1st house of self, identity, appearance, self action, instincts. It’s ALL things good for you ALL year!!! Just watch the scale!
For Aquarius, it’s the 12th house of the sub-conscious mind, higher self, need for oneness, visions, dreams. Your dreams come to life! Trust your intuition even more than usual, but remember to keep it in perspective as that is what Capricorn would call for. You may well find a distinct rise in your psychic ability which will assist you in all matters of your life. Go with it!
For Pisces, it’s the 11th house of hopes and wishes, friends, groups, causes. Pay special attention to your hopes and wishes, as this is the year that you can make them come true through building a strong foundation. Forget the nay sayers. This is YOUR year of dreams coming true! Make it happen. Your friends will play an integral role to you this year as well.
On another note…….
Saturn went retrograde today at 9:09am EST. It will be retrograde until May 2, 2008. Saturn is the planet of karma and the past. When it is in retrograde motion, we will all be thinking more about the past and possibly be more attached to it.
On a more general level, this could cause delays in professional, financial and legal issues, as Saturn, now in Virgo, will impact all of these things. Take the time now to secure a strong foundation in any matter showing weakness. This is an opportunity to examine things more carefully for yourself, in order to avoid more serious problems later. This is NOT a good time to embark on a new business venture!!!! Save that for after May 2nd. It is a good time to redirect our thoughts toward a more reality based attitude. The economy could be affected in a less than positive way through early May as well.
It’s retrograde motion may further slow our progress, in any number of arenas, while also building momentum that can manifest next spring and summer. This delay, combined with the current Mars retrograde, adds to our frustration. Keep this in mind IF you become very frustrated and know that it is for reason. Retrograde planets are always asking us to look within and to take time to secure strong foundations and make corrections. All is for reason. Never doubt that. Try not to fight against the energies, but work with them.
Below is the current line up of planets.
Sun – Sagittarius, until December 21
Mercury – Sagittarius, until December 21
Venus – Scorpio, until December 30
Mars (R) – Cancer, until December 31
Jupiter – Capricorn, until Jan. 5 (2009)
Saturn (R) – Virgo, until Oct. 29 (2009)
Uranus – Pisces, until Mar. 12 (2011)
Neptune – Aquarius, until Feb. 4 (2012)
Pluto – Sagittarius, until Jan. 27 (2008)
Today, I will focus on recent and upcoming changes in the inner planets. In totality, we are all experiencing a lot of shifting energies / influences, and as a result we will see our lives and relationships changing. Be prepared to be patient with yourselves and on another until the dust settles.
December opened with Mercury moving into Sagittarius where it will stay until December 21st. In general, because so many planets (Sun, New Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto) will be aligned in the sign of Sagittarius during the month of December, the theme of growth, optimism and desire will prevail right up until just before Christmas. Just be careful NOT to overdo with all of this Sagittarius energy, as that will be the potential pitfall of the energy. Mercury, ruler of communication and travel, will serve to make most more communicative, outgoing, and easier to engage in conversation. You may not want to believe everything you hear though, as there is some tendency toward exaggeration, and ignoring reality for a dream. But it can be a very fun and enjoyable energy if you can keep things grounded in fact.
Yesterday, December 5th, Venus moved into Scorpio and will transit there until December 30th. This placement will bring a heightened intensity in romance. Any relationship begun with Venus in Scorpio will be deep and compulsive. It is wise to be careful with money and be certain of what you purchase with Venus in Scorpio because you are equally likely to be compulsive with money. So this may not be good with Christmas coming up and should be kept in mind while shopping. Venus is “at it’s detriment” in Scorpio and is historically not particularly good for the financial markets.
Coming up on Sunday, December 9th at 12:40pm is this month’s New Moon in Sagittarius. New Moons mark a two week window of opportunity for everyone of New Beginnings and to begin a new venture of some kind, with the energy declining in strength with each passing day after the New Moon. What this means to each person is dependent upon your Sun and Rising Signs. Most know their Sun sign and your time of birth determines your Rising Sign.
Below I have listed what house Sagittarius emphasizes for each Sign so that you have an idea of what THIS New Moon is asking you to focus on. Note both areas if you are aware of your Rising as well.
Because there is so much Sagittarius energy this month and we have a New Moon, also in Sagittarius, it has a lot of POWER. So it is particularly important to note the areas Sagittarius represents for you!!! Do be expansive and optimistic in these areas, keeping reality in mind!!!! In other words, work the energy to your benefit. December 9th (after 12:40pm EST) through December 17th are the strongest of the energies.
For Aries, it’s the 9th house of Foreign affairs, travel, higher education, religion, values, higher ideals
For Taurus, it’s the 8th house of sex, other people’s money, shared resources, self mastery, death
For Gemini, it’s the 7th house of Partners, open enemies, competition, visual beauty, balance
For Cancer, it’s the 6th house of health, work, colleagues, employees
For Leo, it’s the 5th house of love affairs, creativity, children, risk taking, self-esteem
For Virgo, it’s the 4th house of home, family, dependency, nurturing, parents
For Libra, it’s the 3rd house of communication, siblings, near vicinity (neighborhood), transportation, learning
For Scorpio, it’s the 2nd house of earned income, tangible beauty, comfort, pleasure
For Sagittarius, it’s the 1st house of self, identity, appearance, self action, instincts
For Capricorn, it’s the 12th house of the sub-conscious mind, higher self, need for oneness, visions, dreams
For Aquarius, it’s the 11th house of hopes and wishes, friends, groups, causes
For Pisces, it’s the 10th house of career, authority, reality, status
Below is the current planetary line up and the dates that each planet will change signs again.
Sun – Sagittarius, until December 21
Mercury – Sagittarius, until December 21
Venus – Scorpio, until December 30
Mars (R) – Cancer, until December 31
Jupiter – Sagittarius, until Dec. 18
Saturn – Virgo, until Oct. 29 (2009)
Uranus – Pisces, until Mar. 12 (2011)
Neptune – Aquarius, until Feb. 4 (2012)
Pluto – Sagittarius, until Jan. 27 (2008)
The Sun entered Sagittarius yesterday, Nov. 22nd and will remain there until Dec. 22nd thus beginning the winter for us. We will all have more expansive ideas now and want to do more with our projects, which is good since it brings us toward the Christmas season. This is also a good aspect for traveling. Sagittarius is very optimistic but can sometimes be over the top, so if you can keep your optimism in check you’ll do fine, especially while shopping. The same goes for taking on too much in general, a trademark of Sagittarius energy.
Uranus went direct this morning, Nov. 23rd, at 5:15am after several months of retrograde motion. We will now find that some projects that have been on hold will suddenly start to move forward. To give you an idea of what that means to you specifically, you should look at what house Uranus is in, in your specific chart. Uranus is in Pisces until March 12, 2011. Uranus naturally rules the higher mind, inspiration, creativity, computers, TV, technology and the internet.
Tomorrow’s, Nov. 24th, Full Moon will be exact at 9:30am EST in the sign of Gemini, the multi-tasker of the zodiac. Communications, in general, are important during this Full Moon and misunderstandings are likely. So make sure you are being clear and understanding clearly because this Full Moon is hitting simultaneously with Mercury Squaring Neptune. Many things that have been lumbering along could come to conclusion around now (+ / - 4 days), however it could take until next month’s New Moon on Dec. 9th to fully make the necessary changes. PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL TRAVELING FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS!
Also tomorrow, Nov. 24th, is Mercury Squaring Neptune, as mentioned above. This transit may prove chaotic especially mixed with the Full Moon energies. Again, exercise caution behind the wheel! Mercury rules transportation and communication. Neptune rules illusion and delusion on the negative side and creativity and spirituality on the positive side. A square is confrontation. So the planet of communication / transportation (Mercury) is confronting (square) the planet of illusion and delusion (Neptune). This is, of course, the worst case scenario, but forearmed is forewarned, in my book. It COULD be a highly inspirational day, but that is not typical with a square.
Overall, people could be idealizing situations OR embellishing the truth a bit (I’m putting it nicely). Speech and writings could easily cause arguments. Fortunately this is not a work day so that should minimize this. Confusion could run rampant. So listen closely and decide for yourself. Double check everything!!!! Mistakes are common!
On the other hand, it is a good day to get a reading (although it could include information you may not want to hear), however make sure that it’s a TRUSTED advisor whose feet are firmly implanted on the ground and not one who tends to embellish and get a little “out there” to begin with!
Below is our current planetary alignment. Note we only have one planet in retrograde motion, Mars. I do not mention the Moon in this line up, as it changes signs roughly every 48 hours. At the moment, it is Void of course (between signs). It will enter Gemini tomorrow, Nov. 24th at 6:29am EST.
Current Planet Positions:
Sun – Sagittarius, until December 21
Mercury – Scorpio, until December 1
Venus – Libra, until December 5
Mars (R) – Cancer, until December 31
Jupiter – Sagittarius, until Dec. 19
Saturn – Virgo, until Oct. 29 (2009)
Uranus – Pisces, until Mar. 12 (2011)
Neptune – Aquarius, until Feb. 4 (2012)
Pluto – Sagittarius, until Jan. 27 (2008)
At this point, you are probably noticing many energetic shifts going on. Mercury has come out of retrograde, although there are still some communication snafus going on. This is likely to continue a little longer until we get past the degree Mercury originally retrograded at in Scorpio. If you are still experiencing this, you will no longer be by Nov. 19th. But if you are, it’s only minor by comparison to what we saw throughout October.
Venus entered Libra on Thurs., November 8th and will remain there through December 5th. Venus rules Libra and therefore is at Home in this sign. We will all now be more passionate and idealistic in matters of love, and more prone toward reconciliations. However, do note the problems have not gone away, they’re just more likely to be brushed under the rug. And they will be taken back out again to be resolved once Venus enters Scorpio in early December.
We had this month’s New Moon In the sign of Scorpio yesterday, November 9th and the energies of this New Moon will be in effect for the next 2 weeks, but will decline with each passing day. This New Moon aspects Mars, Uranus and the Sun, so it is particularly powerful. How it affects each individual is based on your chart, but all New Moons are to be used by everyone to initiate new projects and endeavors. So it is up to you to decide how to direct this energy. Don’t let it go to waste, as there is a lot of power associated with this New Moon.
Tomorrow, November 11th, Mercury will enter Scorpio again and will tour this sign through December 20th. This is a strong energy shift, especially after the retrograde of Mercury in Libra. No one will be in the mood for passive aggressive speech or shallow answers any longer. Only the direct, deep and all inclusive answers will do now, as is the marking of the Scorpio. Scorpio is the detective of the zodiac so everyone may have their magnifying glasses out.
Below you will find the current planetary line up. Notice that we only have ONE planet in retrograde motion at the moment! We’ve waited a long time for this!!!!!! However, on the 15th of November, Mars will go retrograde for several weeks. Then on November 23rd, Uranus will finally go direct.
Sun – Scorpio, until November 22
Mercury – Scorpio, until December 1
Venus – Libra, until December 5
Mars – Cancer, until December 31
Jupiter – Sagittarius, until Dec. 19
Saturn – Virgo, until Oct. 29 (2009)
Uranus (R) – Pisces, until Mar. 12 (2011)
Neptune – Aquarius, until Feb. 4 (2012)
Pluto – Sagittarius, until Jan. 27 (2008)
