MOON AND PLUTO IN CAPRICORN - HOW TO LEAVE OLD PATTERNS

GOOGLE PIC

From September 13, early afternoon, to 15, early afternoon (Central Europe time), the Moon is in Capricorn.
Its primary characteristic is to enlight our inner power, because Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, our Self, the deep Sense of Identity, the spinal chord elevating us from the ground, the path leading to spiritual awakening, drifting away from basic human insticts.
We feel then pushed to seld-discipline, to get rid of bad habits, choosing to clean up our body and mind.

Besides, a very important fact is that this Moon is forming an aspect of conjuction with Pluto, our unconscious, in Capricorn as well, retrograde. The Moon also represents a deep inner state, so that both astral bodies give light to our hidden emotions related to past events (Pluto retrograde), asking to be processed and understood. These are the usual wrong mechanisms we regularly pass through, when one wonders why he is always going through the same old mess.

Humbly observing ourselves with a honest heart, we can see and understand the reason why. Please consider that the mystic union between the Moon and Pluto has a great evolutionary power, because they both relate to our Soul's experiences. Furthermore, they are strongly activated by the square aspect (inner tension) of Uranus retrograde in Aries, the planet of Lighr in a Fire sign. Uranus will shout in our inner ears until we accomplish the task of looking at those mechanisms very closely.

Three days' time (so long the Moon remains in Capricorn, as written above), is a very short period. But it nevertheless gives us the chance to take a deep look at what is unbalanced inside of us, the same old patterns. The solution will take form inside and the answer will come out when the Moon enters Aries, next weekend, getting close to Uranus. These two lights, one reflected and the other electric, will join together thus emanating a ray that will be captured by our sixth sense. This will be the moment when we are blessed with the right intuitions, and the answer is there!

MOON IN SAGITTARIUS - THE ETERNAL FEMININE

GOOGLE PICS

From September 11 to 13 Settembre 2013 Moon travels in Sagittarius, Fire sign of the last Zodiac group of four, the signs of Absolute.
Sagittarius is a sign of research: Truth, Deep Sense of Existence, Path to our own Divinity, Sense of Identification with a Spiritual Mission emerging from within.
The Moon is bringing a very female and thus important  nuance to Sagittarius, incarnating the Sacred Principle of the Feminine, like the glance God Father Mother launches on everything surrounding Him/Her, as a natural development of His/Her Ray of Love.

When the Moon travels in Sagittarius we have the chance to get in touch  with the deep core of our feminine side, if we are women. If you are a man, you will understand how important were the lessons you received through the relationship to your feminine world, represented by your mother, daughter/s, sister/s, wife/ves, lovers, and so on.

Time has come to acknowledge the true role of this Half of Heaven, as the Eastern people call us.
All through human history the Sacred Feminine was adored but all tortured and murdered because it was too powerful and scary for the masculine orthodox monotheist world.

And now these last three days underline this dynamic by the square formed by the Crescent Moon in Sagittarius to the Sun in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces (three quarters of the Cross of Mobile Signs). The Eternal Sacred Feminine is requiring its own place between the Rational Logic of our Culture (Sun in Virgo) and the established religious systems (Neptune in Pisces).
We women should now acknowledge our own worth as carriers of Peace and Acceptance, of Motherliness towards Life itself and keepers of the Great Secret of Life (the ability to help the development of another human being - in a physical and metaphysical sense).
Feel the Mystic Channel of Life opening inside of you, illuminating your physical and energetic bodies, radiating through your physic body, soul and spirit and back. This is our power and we thus get in touch with our Essence. AND SO WE ARE!  

In the link here under you can check which one of your planets are in Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces, for this call is for you:

MOON IN SCORPIO - PASSION AND DREAM

IMMAGINE GOOGLE

 

Let us take a look at this wonderful Crescent Moon in Scorpio:
first of all, Scorpio is a Water Sign, that is the emotional world. These kind of emotions stem from a deep need of being part an undivisible unity, when two souls become one. It is an absolute call for belonging, it is the birth of a microscopic circle formed by two beings living for each other and within each other.
The Moon represents our intimate part, no matter what gender we live in. When it travels in this sign, it lights up this process that fills us up with strong emotions.

We feel the boundaries of simply surviving, we want to go deep into love and belonging with all of ourselves. Scorpio wants it all or nothing.

This sign is ruled by Pluto, representing the unconscious, thus the emotions coming to the surface in these past few days cannot be controlled as they are unknown. We feel so restless that only our lover's warm embrace can soothe us.

Let us now consider a deeper sense in this planetary aspect, for it underlines how necessary it is to integrate our dark side, that is, inner emotions we did not want to deal with up to now. We are not asked to open up the door on a sorrowful past, but to open up our heart to everything we feel it is coming up, quietly observing as this passes by in front of our eyes, as if we were watching a movie.

Maybe we feel like crying, or feel disgusted, but we accept the plot of this movie, as this will show us what we have not understood yet. This acceptance allows us to get in touch with a part of us that until now was considered as a menace to keep under control. Now that we allowed the light to get inside of us, we can feel tenderness and forgiveness. And most of all we can feel that sense of belonging, that we have never felt in anybody's arms.

Have a nice Moon and pls come back in the next days for the Moon in Sagittarius!

THE MOON'S TRAVEL FROM LIBRA TO CAPRICORN - HOW TO DEAL WITH EMOTIONS

GOOGLE PIC

 

A new astrological week has just begun! The Moon is Crescent and in Libra, where It radiates a feeling of delicacy, of being undertoned, of research for Beauty in Life. This is a calm Moon, even if It creates a strong aspect full of tensions with Uranus retrograde in Aries and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn (do you remember? like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but not being able to come out yet?). This is how the Cross of Cardinal Signs is stopping Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn (also those natives with Rising Sign, Moon, Venus, Mars in these signs - to verify your planet positions pls check here: http://astro.cafeastrology.com/cgi-bin/astro/natal).
The feeling has not changed from last week, maybe it is even stronger, as we feel we really almost there, after all these difficult months. Yet it was a wonderful time to travel inside of us, getting to know infinite dimensions and beyond. From this point of view, we can difficulties in a much easier way. When life stops us from moving outside, it wants to teach us to move inside, as this is the best way to root all the changes we are all going thru. Please be patient for another while, because time to start has almost come! 

Finally, between today and Tuesday 10, the Moon moves into Scorpio, reaching Saturn. We get more energy, we feel more determined in fighting for our goals, even if we want to look for silence, only meeting people we really love. We need to be with brothers and sisters who share our path, because this is the real nourishment for our Soul!
Until Wednesday 11 the Moon is staying in Scorpio. Taurus, Leo and Aquarius will not feel so much at ease. They will all have to face the truth of the way they are walking on. This is the chance to take the challenge to face the Unknown, as this always hides the most wonderful treasures. Just take the courage to leave your little mind for a very short time, to get a glimpse of what is lying outside your window and see if it is worth!

On Wednesday 10, Mercury enters Libra, yet its intectual influence helps us to regain a certain control.

Then, on Thurday 12 Moon enters Sagittarius and Venus Scorpio. As you can see, this week is full of different nuances, no sign remains untouched. Everyone will have to deal with new "guests", on a phisycal and emotional level. But as I always say, let us open to novelty and surprises.
Moon in Sagittarius is making Virgo and Pisces freak. It is a chaotic Moon, but in a positive sense. It brings Sagittarius a lot of chances to finally reach for long held back goals.
Virgo is already suffering for the long opposition to Neptune. This would be good to learn how to radically change its way of being, like integrating a softer aspect in itself, less crytical and pragmatic. It would be like the flourishing of an unknown and wide universe, where to use Virgo's innate sense of order with harmony. This is possible only if Virgo decides to stop fighting against obstacles, seeing them like signs to change track.
Pisces get nervous because Sagittarius' strength forces them to abandon their contemplative way of living to mingle in everyday life, but sometimes you just have to!
Gemini, with this Moon in opposition, would better prepare a suitcase and leave their homes. This is a travelling Moon!

Venus in Scorpio (on september 12) reaches Saturn, and deep feelings are put into evidence, like the urge of finding our Twin Soul. Keep your eyes open, all of you, as this can really happen!

Finally, on Saturday 14, Moon enters Capricorn, next to Pluto, still reinforcing the Cross of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Since 2010 Pluto is pushing us to let our inner light flow free outside and the Moon is also spotting this process. Dear natives (to whom I also belong!) please use these days to close your eyes and travel within. Your inner point of view will show you the solution and this is good also for every other sign!

 

This week the Moon's Travel from Libra to Capricorn touches different human areas, such as relationships, to be considered like a research of harmony between two people (Libra), requiring a deep soul merging (Scorpio) to get to the Absolute, to find a new ideal of life (Sagittarius), serving as the future foundations of real life (Capricorn).
Libra and Scorpio are social signs, where Man is willing to face the other. Sagittarius and Capricorn belong to the last 4 signs and find their identity in the Absolute. Here survival has no meaning, but the development of a spiritual way of thinking taking us near God and the real sense of Self. 

 

Have a nice week!

ASTROLOGICAL WEEKLY FORECASTS 01/07 SEPTEMBER 2013 - NEW MOON IN VIRGO

GOOGLE PIC

The astrological week starts with the Cross of the Cardinal Signs still lingering on our heads: on one side the Dark Moon in conjunction to Jupiter and to the Waning Moon in Cancer (wish to make real what we feel to be right for us, with the relative frustration of not being able to get to the point yet), on the other side Venus in Libra (wish to be seductive, of falling in love, to be charming, lightheartedness), while in the middle there is still Uranus retrograde in Aries with its close square to Pluto retrograde in Capricorn (to see the light at the end of the tunnel, still feeling trapped in a heavy situation).
No matter which is your birth sign, what this Cross produces inside of us is a sensation of being claustrofobically closed in the old situations we thought had gone. It is obvious that for Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn the sensation is even stronger. It results in an endless run back and forth, searching for some relief.

Please stop, for the secret here is to sit down and concentrate on the void of your Inner Silence, to let the Storm pass by, while you create through your imagination what you would like to have in your reality. 

And calm arrives soon. On Tuesday 03, Moon passes in Leo and meets Mars. They both give us the drive to put the solution we have found inside into action .

Venus is helping us in the whole process, as it tends to show us only the beauty of Life and it opens the door to creativity.

On Thursday 05, the New Moon in Virgo erases every tension, as it brings us back to rationality through its conjunction to the Sun and Mercury. Our mind is now sharp and accurate. We can see the obstacles taking us apart from our target very clearly (opposition of Neptune and Chiron retrograde in Pisces): the difficulty of unifying Heart and Mind.

When this opposed polarities join together, we can have the chance of feeling gifted by God with clarity and determination. We can take the right decisions, given by the intuitions of our Heart, while the Mind starts doing its job to make these decisions reality. At this point Life starts following us and sends us any necessary support.

Now, the axis formed by New Moon-Sun-Mercury in Virgo / Neptune and Chiron retrograde in Pisces is a grand way leading us to the Unity of Heart and Mind. Before falling asleep, connect yourselves to Earth and Heaven and visualize yourselves at the Center of bright road. On one side there is your Mind (Virgo), on the other your Heart (Pisces). Call on to these Light Poles, to receive their light inside of you. You then become a container for these opposed forces, point of unity and integration. Repeat this visualization also on Friday, if you wish.

Then on Saturday 07 the Moon passes on to Libra, where there is Venus as well, even if their conjuction is not so close (Moon at the first degrees, Venus in at 25°). In any case, both celestial bodies represent the Feminine Universe and will transform the newly acquired integration into a new sensitivity. 

The Moon's journey during this week, from Cancer to Libra, is related to the human archetypal path from our roots, family, home to social life. Individual ego, like a flower due to bloom, is slowly opening, as if teased by its curiosity to see what lies beyond (Cancer). It uses all its potentials to emerge (Leo), then it tries to understand the Golden Rules of Life (Virgo) in order to create any kind of relation, above all an intimate relation with someone similar (Libra).
At last, but not least!, the trine of Water Sign is still keeping its position (Jupiter and the Dark Moon in Cancer - Saturn in Scorpio - Neptune and Chiron retrograde in Pisces). Our world of emotions is under the spots. This aspect is there to teach us how to manage our emotions, as they create, together with the thoughts they produce, our own reality. I wrote about that in Italian - but there is a good translation service! -

Have a nice week all of you!

ASTROLOGICAL WEEKLY FORECAST FROM AUGUST 25 TO 31 - THE DANCE OF THE MOON IN TAURUS

GOOGLE PIC

The astrological week opens up with the passage of the Moon from Aries to Taurus and the Great Sextile of the Portal of Peace, details of which can read in
http://ahyrnel.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-great-sextile-of-august-25-star-of.html
Moon in Taurus is wonderfully sensual, a pure breeze of hot air, charming and groovy. It is offering us an intense emotional background, in order to face the heavy transformative energies of the Cross of Cardinal Signs: Uranus in Aries allows us to see a radiant future but it seems to be too far away and we feel frustrated; Jupiter in Cancer in conjuction to the Dark Moon until next spring makes us intollerant and restless, as we can never find the right place to stay; Venus in Libra is trying to soothe us, allowing us to take a break through her lightheartedness, but soon Pluto in Capricorn is behind her back, and works like a drill because he wants us to get to our inner Light.

Before smashing our head against the wall for the big input amount we are receiving, let us take a deep breath and get inside the Great Goddess' warm embrace, in order to release tensions and to use inner obstacles as a stairway to heaven, which is like descending into the dephts of our Soul. Moon in Taurus can help us by her rhythmic dance to give a big start to New Energy in our lives. Using our body, we could win any frustration or tension, as we will feel strong and firm within ourselves.

On Wednesday 28, Moon passes on to Gemini and then on Saturday 31 it passes on to Cancer. This is an intimate journey through the first four Zodiac signs, related to our Body, Sense of Self, our Childhood, our Roots and our Origins.

This are this week's issues, that we are going to be dealing with, each of us in our own way, at our pace, and in the free choice of conscious beings.

Those who belong to Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will obviously have a great chance to go deep within their own roots, using love and forgiveness to release an important issue that needs to be healed.

Taurus and Scorpio will be able to travel very easily along their days, feeling themselves acknowledged and appreciated for what they really are, while Leo and Aquarius will make some resistance, as they will feel forced in shaking a few beliefs that need to be renewed. 

Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces are all under the influence of the conjuction of Neptune and Chiron retrograde in Pisces. This aspect creates a foggy sensation around their mind on the one hand, and on the other, it shows them how big the illusion was that they were living. It will take them some courage to face this trail towards Truth, but this is the chance for a complete awakening, each of themin their own way, at their own pace.

 

 

Have a wonderful!

THE GREAT SEXTILE OF AUGUST 25 - THE STAR OF DAVID OPENS UP THE PORTAL OF PEACE

GOOGLE PIC

 

 

 

Tomorrow, August 25 on 11.11 pm Italian time, the second Great Sextile is going to open up, following the first that took place on July 29 (http://ashtalan.blogspot.com/2013/07/si-apre-il-portale-celeste-della-grande.html).

The Arcturians had already informed us about this great opportunity through Suzanne Caroll (http://suzanneliephd.blogspot.com - The Open Corridor) and now on the web there is a very interesting video talking about this event: http://youtu.be/KhkGrMqONwo. I suggest you to watch it, as it gives instructions how to best use the wonderful energies flowing on Earth to bring peace in the devasted areas of Syria and Egypt. 

 

On an astrological level, what happens is the return of this great sextile of Water planets (Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio, Neptune in Pisces - we can understand what we really want) and of Earth planets (Moon in Taurus, Sun and Mercury in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn - we can perceive our exact place in life), like back on July 29. Water and Earth are two elements that represent the sweet Feminine Energy of the Great Goddess, who is now asking each and everyone to invoke her with a collective meditation at 11.11 Italian time, to bring peace on our planet.
By visualizing the Goddess entering into us, giving us her gifts of Love and Peace, we can then direct those rays towards the needing areas of Earth, to heal our planets and ourselves.
This time the sextile is even more powerful than in July, as it is supported and reinforced by the Cross of the Cardinal Signs, formed by Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, Venus in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn (strong energies are trying to shake us to invite us to look for what we really love in life). This means that tomorrow our sky will be inhabited by two trines and one cross in their middle. What an explosion of energy! 

On an individual level, every sign is called in, so let us get ready to listen close, as we will be filled with intuitions and illuminatios. If you can and wish, try to stay home in your own silence, priviledge calm attivities, meditate, of course, listen to ecstatic music. You will surely receive great gifts and the certainty of being in a place you have been longing for, the higher dimension of your heart.
Embrace the Great Goddess and you will find a new being smiling at you from the mirror.
