Fresh Air & Options

Retrograde Mars in Gemini trine Venus in Aquarius, desires movement, travel, epiphanies, understanding, new experience, eye candy, excitement andcommunication.

We have been in a cycle of stagnancy within the themes of activity and energy. Mars in Gemini when direct is quick thinking on the run, taking on numerous tasks, busy, having intuitive strategies. Retrograde Mars in the Air sign of Gemini, can challenge our functionality, with possible bouts of procrastination. In hindsight, it slows us down to think and in turn will strengthen our game moving forward.

January 12th Mars stations direct and will shift the tides slowly but surely in a more productive flow. Fresh insights can improve plans we have made, the feeling of direct Mars will energize.Jupiter in Aires ruled by Mars will benefit on this day.

January 18th Mercury Retrograde stations direct in Capricorn, communication becomes clearer, plans & travel are more in sync. Synchronized Mercury joins the night sky, symbolizing clarity.

January 11th Venus in Aquarius squares the Nodes of the Moon, active participation is required with Venus. Pay attention to our relationships, friendships, love & money. Making decisions to simplify or strategize can be up for discussion, sometimes we reach a crossroad during this time.

April 29-30th 2022

Eclipse season is here, new
chapters can open through
beginnings and endings in the
Taurus/Scorpio house of our charts.
Eclipse’s work within the Nodal axis,
a New Moon occurring within 18
31′ of North or South Node can be
a partial Solar Eclipse.
April 30th 4:27 pm (EST) is Partial
Solar Eclipse on North Node of
Taurus at
10 °28′. New Moon’s start a new
lunation cycle, eclipse’s have a wild
card energy to them. Friday April
29th, changes are underway in the
evening when Mercury enters its
home sign of Gemini, our mental
focus becomes sharper.The Moon
leaves energized Aries and moves
into her exalted sign of Taurus,giving way towards a gracious mood.

The ruler of this New Moon/ Solar Eclipse is Venus in Pisces, she is exalted in her kind glory here, snuggled between elusive
Neptune and jubilant Jupiter in
Pisces. Tonight 8:51 pm Venus
conjoins Jupiter at 27 ° ~ and
sextile to stationing ( strong) Pluto
in Capricorn ~ also trine Mercury,
who freshly entered Gemini. (* note
Mercury is slowing down and will
Retrograde on May 11)
This energy feels very
opportunistic, as if the doors that
have been previously closed are
opening. The ruling Venus/Jupiter
vibration of this lunation can bring
surprise~ as Uranus in Taurus at 14
° conjunct New Moon/Solar Eclipse
-puts an exclamation on changes
that may include a feeling
excitement, creativity,productivity, c
onnection, natural, unexpected,
gifted, beneficial.

Alan Watts says it best:
“The only way to make sense out of
change is to plunge into, move with
it, and join the dance.”

The Albatross is the largest flying
bird, with a wingspan of 11 feet,
they spend 80% of there time at
sea, mostly in flight. They can soar
on motionless wings for hours.
These birds mate for life yet there
journeys cover millions of miles.
chose this oracle card today from
Chip Richards deck (Secret
language of Animals) “The
inspiration is renewed hope and the
promise of good fortune for the
path ahead. It takes courage to set
out on a new journey of any kind
and Albatross knows that
sometimes we must travel far
beyond the shores of our comfort
zone before we catch a glimpse of
our aspired destination”

We all know Valentines Day can
come with high expectations, the
waxing Gibbous Moon in Leo, a time
of heightened emotions is building
to a Full Moon at 27 degrees Leo
on February 16.
Today the Moon Opposite Mercury
in last degree of Capricorn soon to
enter Aquarius.(4:54pm) Thinking
of the bigger picture, choose your
words with compassion and
kindness above all. Mercury in
Capricorn this morning is speaking
practically and less poetic. Mercury
in Aquarius tonight shifts into more
open minded dialogue.
Venus/ Mars conjunction in
Capricorn February 15, (and again
March 6 in Aquarius)
We have a serious opportunity of
getting real about building
something we love and believe in.

December 19- January 31st was the Venus Retrograde period, did you
make decisions that upgraded or
reorganized your relationships or
finances? In the background Pluto
in Capricorn trine the North Node
Taurus, feels like Albatross
medicine, endurance and courage
to take a leap of faith. February 17
Jupiter in Pisces sextile Uranus in
Taurus encounter a similar energy
of unexpected opportunities or
changes that entice you to keep
moving towards your goals.

Happy Valentine’s Day 💜 Be kind

February 1,2022 EST New Moon in Aquarius /Chinese New Year of the Water Tiger

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year!

The Tiger is the 3rd sign of the
Chinese horoscope, Yang in
nature ~ with following
energies; Bravery,
magnetism,good luck, authority,
swagger, hotheadedness,
disobedience and passion.
Naturally built for change and movement, within the water element of emotion and depth. May we draw on the courage of the sentimental yet powerful tiger energies.

The New Moon exact just
after midnight(EST) describes
the shift as Moon & Sun in
Aquarius apply to Saturn to
begin this new cycle with a
seriousness of intention and
taking responsibility for a reset.
Saturn rules this Aquarian New
Moon, doubled up on the sense of taking responsibility.
The Moon & Sun in a separating
square to Uranus Taurus ~ this
new cycle has built in changes
on how we see the future.
Aquarius is future minded and
looks to operate with an original
or inventive plan, opening the
window to fresh air.
This Thursday 2/3 Mercury
stations direct in Capricorn as the Sun in Aquarius conjoins
Saturn~ May this offer support,
strength, resolution, durability
and security moving forward , as all planets are now in a direct motion until beginning of May.

Scorpio Last Quarter Moon


Today marks the closing square of
the lunation cycle, we are between
the Past Full moon ( fulfillment) 1/17
and the future New Moon (new
beginnings) 2/1.
Is it time to move forward and take
action? Or is it time to refrain, resist
or release ?
Both questions can come to mind
with the square aspect of Sun
(Aquarius) and Moon (Scorpio)
The dark half of the moon cycle,
diminishing in light
is compatible with Scorpio energy,
they understand the territory, quiet
and observant. Self contained and
inwardly absorbed.

Steven Forrest in his Book of the Moon, describes the mood as “expectant, abstract, mysterious,
self contained, archetypal, spiritual,
principled, idealistic, introverted,
independent and visionary.”
The Scorpio Moon will have
numerous aspects flavoring it’s
mood, this morning trine Jupiter in
Pisces ~ can intuition meet
opportunity? The Moon opposition
to Uranus, square Saturn and
sextile Venus~ patience and
understanding is key, changes or
detours can be maneuvered or
endured with researching the map-
Scorpio Moon has detective energy.
Mercury Rx backs into Capricorn
making a practical trine to North
Node in Taurus and sextile South
node in Scorpio. Where can you
invite peacemaking and release
conflict? Mercury stations direct February 3rd, so we are still in process of reworking & upgrading those ( Saturn ruled) Aquarius & Capricorn areas in our charts.

Peace,

Laura

Keep your head up !

Today take responsibility of your
situation, whatever that may be.
Aquarius Sun & Saturn respond well
to decisions based on what’s
happening now. Mars ingress into
Capricorn, out of bounds can
accentuate that -take charge urge.
Empowering energy.
Mars is exalted and no nonsense in
Capricorn, may this help you tackle
tasks with energy.Venus still
Retrograde in Capricorn is slowing
down, finishing her 40 days cycle
on January 29~ remembering and
recognizing, what it is she really
values. Trine Uranus in Taurus, she
can feel bolts of enthusiasm, she’s
going through a metamorphosis
into a morning
star.

Reminder for folks in NorthEast we
have 54 days till spring & days are
getting longer~ We can use the last
bit of Mercury in Aquarius to
rethink the future and put new
ideas out to the world. Happy Monday.

Peace,

Aquarius Season Jan 20-Feb19

Happy Birthday Aquarians ☀️
Jan 20-Feb 19th
We are getting close to Chinese
Lunar New Year of the Water Tiger
February 1,2022
The early am Moon in Virgo makes
quick trines to Venus Retrograde in
Capricorn and to Uranus direct now
in Taurus, I think back to July.
Remembering the beauty and color
of my garden and how I cherished
all the flowers I grew & sold. I dried
and made this Mandala on August
22nd Full Moon in Aquarius
conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius~
inspired memories. Mercury
Retrograde in Aquarius is revisiting ideas,
memories, messages related to
your Aquarian house, backing up to conjoin the Sun on January 23rd.

New thoughts or realizations could
upgrade our understanding this
weekend. Venus Retrograde in
Capricorn is slowing down and
will be at 11 ° for 2 weeks, she
stations direct January 29th.
During this time she stays in
close Trine aspect to Uranus in
Taurus. Venus is operating on a
practical level, considering what
is worth her time. In Capricorn
she values stability and
patience with connections.

Venus in close communication
with Uranus, acknowledges
changes or surprises connected
to our relationship, finances or
what we value. Thinking about
where we’ve been and how we
are moving forward can be an
inspiration today, we are beginning a New Chapter. ☀️

Peace,

Laura
