☆♥☆ 2013 Year Number 6 ☆♥☆


Hi Everyone,

As 2012 drifts away, 2013 resonates with a refreshing, innovative energy in the New Year! The energy of Year 2012 vibrated to the Number 5 (2+0+1+2=5).  Five is an odd number and inherently unstable.  Five wants freedom to do as it pleases and doesn't like to be tied down or told otherwise.  While 5 is a creative number (House 5 in the Zodiac is the home of warm, dramatic, fiery Leo), it is also a restless, sexual, excessive, self indulgent, attention-seeking number.

Year 2013 resonates to Number 6 (2+0+1+3=6): energetic desire for compassionate service. Number 6 is inherently charitable, humanitarian, peaceful, protective, sympathetic, and selfless.  The ability to compromise is enhanced during 2013.  In a number 6 year, individuals will fight for their ideals and become deeply committed to obtain a goal or life path true to their heart.  They will protect or fight for the rights of children and animals, those unable to defend or speak for themselves. 

We have already seen a glimpse of this energy during 2012 with an increase in the formation of Non-Profit Animal Rescue Corporations, Puppy Mill raids, Pit Bull Rescues, and the Rescue and preservation of Exotic Animals across the Globe.  Awareness of the suffering and of pet cats and dogs in Kill Shelters (an oxymoron) and Animal Experimentation was revealed and publicized across Twitter and Facebook.

Our attention was drawn towards the forced drugging of our Nation's children, as young as 2 years old, with pharmaceutical antidepressants, amphetamines, and anti-psychotics in the news on an almost daily basis.  The consequences of which were seen in an increase in childhood suicide,  bullying, prescription drug addiction and their torturous withdrawal side effects, and horrific massacres by young students whose brains were hijacked, gripped in a vice of chemical induced psychosis. 

We will fight for the rights to healthy food. There will be an increased awareness and anger about the detrimental effects of genetically modified and engineered food and its contribution to disease and infertility.  Garbage in, Garbage out.  You are what you eat or ingest.  Native American Indian cultures believe that how we raise our children and how we care for the Earth Mother affects the next 7 generations.  While we all survived "The End of the World", it is obvious that Earth changes are upon us.

The Number 6 Year also radiates the need for love, compassion, grace, companionship and reconciliation.  Individuals may be drawn together to obtain or promote a common cause.  People will stake their lives on obtaining the "truth", no matter what it takes.  In this regard, 6 may be a year in which individuals or groups of people band together relentless to obtain a goal.

Six also seeks union. This may be the need to seek a nurturing relationship culminating in a formal or informal marriage. People will be drawn to find and resonate with another in a 6 Year.

Rider-Waite~US Games
The sixth card in the Tarot is "The Lovers". The Lovers card depicts the unclothed bodies of two lovers, a man and a woman. They bare their souls’ to each other. The man gazes upon the woman while the woman looks up to the spirit, Archangel Gabriel. As the angel hovers over the couple, arms and wings spread as if blessing the pair. The sun shines above his head, bringing warmth and security and light. The leaves on the tree mirror the hair on the Angels head…a symbol of the fires of passion burning deep within the lovers’ soul. This sun and fire is also symbolic of our life force and our impulse to create. The fertile grass beneath their feet, and fruit on the tree suggests growth and happiness.

However, as with each card in the deck or  aspects in a birth chart, there may be negative symbolic manifestations when unfocused. The Snake (Note: Year 2013 is Year of the Snake) coiled in the tree behind the woman is a gentle reminder of the story of Adam and Eve and lurking temptations. There are three people in this card, not two. The third person may be an intruder to the relationship, either an envious, devious troublemaker, or merely a circumstance or event. Either way, there are decisions to be made.

For instance, triangulation may occur when there is a choice to be made between two lovers. The Lovers card “is” a card of choice and decision. Conflicting values arise between sexual love, lust, and spiritual love, although they are closely intertwined. The card may imply struggling temptation between immediate material desires versus staying true to Self on a spiritual path. There may be a conflict between different forms of attraction as
Gemini is a sign of duality and choices.

When the
Lovers card appears it may indicate the coming or presence of a “Soul Mate” relationship. It represents our intensely intimate and sexual relationships. A loving, committed relationship is indicated and desired above all else. Clear, perceptive communication usually brings a beneficial result. Because this is a card of choices, when it appears in a reading it could test one's personal beliefs, values or code of ethics within a relationship. There may be a need to choose between what really soothes the Soul versus what appears as temptation, and ultimately detrimental to one's well-being. There may be an ethical or moral choice.

The Lovers urge for union is rather powerful and takes love to the highest spiritual level, resonating with Angelic symbolism. The Lovers refers to a relationship based on a deep, unwavering love. There is no force more powerful. It doesn’t have to be a sexual relationship although the mutual sexual attraction can be unrivaled.

2013 will be a year to remember, let's welcome its loving energy.

Namaste'

☆♥*♥☆ Sagittarius/Gemini Relationships ☆♥*♥☆


The Sagittarius/Gemini, Ascendant/Descendant 
Relationship Axis 
(1st house/7th house)
Knowing your partners 7th house cusp (the relationship house) and the ruling planet of that house, provides insight about the type of partner you're attracted to (or attract into your life), and the method of relating within that relationship.
The Ascendant or Rising sign is the sign rising on the horizon at the time of birth. This is the face shown to the world, our “mask” for which the Sun hides, and how others see us. This is our outer personality, temperament and disposition as well as how the early home environment was experienced. It also hints of the physical appearance. The ruler of the Ascendant and the aspects (connections to other planets in your birth chart) further delineate and define your physical appearance.
Look towards the Descendant, or 7th house cusp, its ruler and its aspects. The 7th house is the house of all partnerships including marriage, legal contracts, and the house of open enemies or the Defendant in a law suit.
In relationships, Sagittarius♐   has planetary rulership with expansive Jupiter♃  . Whatever Jupiter touches, expands. If you have a Sagittarius Ascendant, you are jovial, friendly, philosophical, and an independent thinker and tend to attract lively, youthful partners with a flair for words.

With Mercury ruled Gemini♊   on the descendant you seek an affable, fun-loving, youthful and witty partner. Attraction to a partner with those qualities who is younger, intelligent, sociable, fickle, a natural born communicator is likely. It is quite possible to attract a second partner or marriage later in life with this placement. In both male and female charts, the tendency to attract a teacher or mentor type is possible as well as meeting another who appears androgynous in some way.

One of the first things to look at when provided birth data of a potential partner, is their Mercury placement, since Mercury rules your descendant. If Mercury is favorably aspected in your partners chart, those communicative benefits are brought into your relationship with him or her. Your own Mercury placement and the aspects it makes to other planets demonstrates the way you approach communicating relationship needs as well.
A Sagittarius Ascendant may attract a partner with Mercury prominent in their chart. Mercury would form favorable aspects to the Sun, Moon, Mars or Venus, or elevated in conjunction to the MC (10th house), IC (4th house), conjunct or ruling their Ascendant (Gemini/Virgo) or Descendant. The Sun sign in Gemini or Virgo are other possibilities.
Knowing the date, time and place of birth is important in making the determination for the Rising sign. This cusp sets up all other house cusps that divide chart houses and areas of life.

☆♥*♥☆ Complanting Moon ☆♥*♥☆

Complanting Moon ~ Deer

(c) All right reserved

In Native American Astrology, those born from May 21~June 20th are born under the Complanting Moon and their animal totem is the Deer. Their colors are green and white and they are included in the Butterfly Elemental Clan.

Deer people possess natural healing abilities and are usually very intuitive. They have sensitive hearing and do not like loud noises or voices. Deer are gentle, loving, and kind animals. Born under this sign, you may have the ability to create items of beauty from very ordinary objects and are, therefore, generally resourceful. Deer peopleare friendly also make good friends. They are very lively, witty, and articulate speakers. They have an unusually high, buoyant energy level and appear youthful even in later years. Deer are also known for their beauty, grace, sexuality, and cunning. Deer is the epitome of both masculine and feminine energy as is suggestive of their dual nature and Twin♊ astrological glyph.
Deer people posess the captivating ability of eloquent speech in addition to their physically alluring, beautiful bodies. As part of the Butterfly Clan, this increases their chance for “flitting” from one flower to the next, or from one idea to another examining each and every nuance as they flutter and collect along the way.

☆♥*♥☆ Happy Birthday Gemini ☆♥*♥☆

Happy Birthday Gemini!

For those born between May 20/21st~June 19th
The Key Phrase is: I Think.

The astrological glyph is the Twins. Gemini♊ is a mutable (malleable, flexible), air (intellect, detached, fleeting) sign located in the 1st quadrant (self oriented/personal) of the Eastern Hemisphere of the chart. Because Gemini♊ resides in the 3rd house of the zodiac and is ruled by the planet Mercury, communication, thoughts and learning are most important to Gemini. Your birthstone is the Emerald. Intellectual stimulation is as basic to a Gemini♊ as family and children are to a Cancererian. There is an inherent need to know and understand just about everything.

The sign of Aries inhabits the 1st house of the natural zodiac. That first house is the cusp of the Ascendant or the Rising Sign. Because Gemini♊ arrives immediately after the earthy 2nd house Taurus who asks, “What should I possess or own and how will I meet my security issues”? Gemini desires to communicate and formulate ideas about what those security needs are and to present them to others; most often in the early school years when information about life and the world is quickly accumulated. Gemini♊ collects data and information about everything. It is not uncommon for Gemini♊ to be watching television, listening to music, and reading a book all at the same time!

Gemini♊ is a dual sign; dual meaning the astrological glyph (symbol) looks like this “II”; resembling the Roman Numeral II~The Twins. Duality refers to having a double nature, character or purpose and/or comprised of two parts. Gemini’s certainly acquire the reputation for the ability to change their personality in an instant and may scatter energies just as easily. Maintaining focus particulary in early years may be difficult for Gemini♊. Their duality enables them to see two sides of problem or situation and to project outward the two aspects of their persona as well.

Gemini♊ makes home in the 3rd house of the birth chart and so relates to siblings, the neighborhood, early educational experiences, teachers, short distance travel, the mind, news, siblings, cousins and automobiles. If you have an empty 3rd house (no planets in there), look to where the ruler of that house (the 3rd cusp ruler) is located and, along with its aspects, may provide a glimpse of your communication style and learning experiences as well as the area of life these will be most utilized.

Gemini♊ health issues involve the lungs, shoulders, hands, fingers, and the nervous system. Respiratory troubles may be more common with this sign. Gemini’s have difficulty sitting still because they possess so much nervous physical and mental energy. Mercury ruled, Gemini’s often become agitated for no obvious reason. Mental energy becomes so compressed and, like a coil, springs forth with terrific tension in order to unwind. Several cousins, my daughter and brother as well as friends are all Gemini’s. My daughter is wonderful and her temperament is so easy going. Whatever tragedy or annoyance she experiences rolls right off her shoulders, not deserving her attention. However, when she was little, her little alter ego would surface from time to time. I called this other entity “Sybil” after the book written about a woman with multiple personalities. Whenever “Sybil” surfaced, it was a complete 180 degree turn around. For a moment in time, the “evil twin” takes over! This is really perplexing to watch/experience because it’s like you’re living with an alien (for all of 5 minutes). They must experience information overload and need an outlet for all that condensed mental energy! ☄

Gemini’s♊ are also distinguishable by their youthful exuberance. Gemini always looks a bit younger than their chronological age and they are witty and entertaining. No one can play with words better than the Twins! Some accuse Gemini of being fickle and/or gossipy….well, Mercury, Gemini’s ruling planet does have wings and was considered to be a “messenger”. It isn’t often about “gossip” though; more likely about the need to communicate and share information. :-) They are the networkers of the zodiac. Automobiles and Gemini’s seem to go together too. They love to drive; always on the go…they have people to see, places to go and things to do! So much to do and so little time! ƸӜƷ


Relationships with Gemini are "interesting". ☄Some say they are difficult to pin down, disinterested, restless, too difficult to figure out. This is because they become bored listening to and doing the same old thing. If you want to attract one, I meant II :-) say something witty, intellectually stimulating, quote a famous author. They're quick on the come back. Your imagination will appeal to this sign's deep intellect.

If you fall for me
I'm not easy to please
I might tear you apart
Told you from the start, baby from the start
I'm only gonna break break your, break break your heart...♥

~Taio Cruz & Ludacris

Gemini’s♊ polar opposite (3rd house~communication, thoughts, ideas, early education, the immediate neighborhood, short distance travel and siblings) is the mutable, fire sign Sagittarius (9th house- higher learning, long distance travel, philosophy, publishing and the law). The integration of “my ideas and beliefs” versus “other’s ideas, beliefs and philosophies’ is one life lesson for Gemini♊, also contingent upon other areas of the birth chart.

Where is your Gemini??

Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

☆♥*♥☆ The Lovers~Gemini ☆♥*♥☆

The Lovers by Salvador Dali
The Lovers card depicts the unclothed bodies of two lovers, a man and a woman. They bare their souls’ to each other. The man gazes upon the woman while the woman looks up to the spirit, Archangel Gabriel. As the angel hovers over the couple, arms and wings spread as if blessing the pair. The sun shines above his head, bringing warmth and security and light. The leaves on the tree mirror the hair on the Angels head…a symbol of the fires of passion burning deep within the lovers’ soul. This sun and fire is also symbolic of our life force and our impulse to create. The fertile grass beneath their feet, and fruit on the tree suggests growth and happiness.

However, as with each card in the deck, and with aspects in a birth chart, there may be negative, symbolic manifestations with this card. The snake coiled in the tree behind the woman is a gentle reminder of the story of Adam and Eve and the temptations we may be faced with. There are 3 people in this card, not two. In this regard, the third person could be an intruder to the relationship.

Triangulation can occur when there is a choice to be made between two lovers or two paths. The Lovers card “is” a card of choices and decisions. Conflicting values arise between sexual love, lust and spiritual love although they are closely related. The card implies struggling with temptation between immediate material desires versus staying true to ourselves on our spiritual path. There may be a conflict between different forms of attraction, values or around money as Gemini is a sign of duality and choices.

When The Lovers card appears in a reading, it can augur the coming or presence of a “Soul Mate” relationship. It mostly represents our intensely intimate and sexual relationships. A loving, committed relationship is indicated and desired above all else. Clear, perceptive communication usually brings a beneficial result. Because this is a card of choices, when it appears in a reading, it could test our personal beliefs, values or code of ethics within that relationship. The need to choose between what really soothes the soul with what may appear as temptation, and ultimately detrimental is possible. This could be an ethical or moral choice. Please see what I have written about The Devil card (card 15 = 1+5=6) which is the symbolic opposite of The Lovers at http://www.fuchsiastars.com/ (Wesbite will be under construction/updated soon) listed under Articles/Venus/Pluto.

If already involved in a committed relationship, there is mutual understanding and appreciation of each other. This card brings a happy outcome to the situation in question.

The Lovers urge for union is rather powerful and it takes love to the highest spiritual level, symbolic of the Angel symbolism. When The Lovers appears, it always refers to a relationship based on a deep, unwavering love. There is no force more powerful. It doesn’t always have to be a sexual relationship although the mutual sexual attraction can be unrivaled. The Lovers card and the number 6 symbolize unconditional love, strength, wisdom, service and compassion. How often do we give love without judgment, conditions or strings attached?

☆♥*♥☆ Sagittarius/Gemini Axis ☆♥*♥☆

by Lorraine Valente

The Sagittarius/Gemini Ascendant/Descendant Relationship Axis (1st house/7th house)

Knowing your partners 7th house cusp (the relationship house) and the ruling planet of that house, provides insight about the type of partner you're attracted to (or attract into your life), and the method of relating within that relationship.

☆♥*♥☆ Relationship Needs in the Birth Chart ☆♥*♥☆

by Lorraine Valente

 Relationship Needs in the Birth Chart~Other Oriented versus Self Oriented

The astrological chart is designed like a pizza, sliced into 12 cut pieces. If we cut the pie/chart in the center from left (East) to right (West) (the reverse directions from Earth) the Ascendant/Descendant relationship axis is formed. The East is your personal needs and the West would be the needs of the relationship or partner. When the chart is divided from bottom, North, center (IC) to the top, South, center (MC) the 4th house/10th house axis of home versus work and private versus public needs is formed. Divisions of the chart hemispheres indicated above determines whether you are more “relationship” oriented or more “Self” oriented. Planets located in the Western portion of the chart are relationship and ”Other” oriented. These are the natural house signs of Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. Planets located in the Eastern hemisphere of the chart are more “Self” oriented. These natural house signs are (Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus and Gemini). Ideally, it's best to have a balance of planets in both hemispheres as this indicates a healthy approach to relating and the natural ability to meet your own needs in love, relationships and personal growth, and also meeting your partners desires for the same.

When a majority of planets reside in the Western hemisphere, this person might not have enough self confidence to take a stand in a relationship. Co-dependency may exist when the needs of the partner take precedence over the need to take care of self, even when it may be inappropriate to care for the other. This is also called enabling, doing for another that they can do for themselves.  

An individual having a majority of planets in the Western hemisphere may feel more insecure or lack confidence in relating, always considering the other first, again, even when it is detrimental to do so. This person may become overly involved in the lives of others leaving no room left for themselves. A person could also be the one that everyone asks favors of, is taken advantage of, and who doesn’t know how to say “no” because of the need to feel needed or for ego validation.  This individual needs to learn to set healthy boundaries in all relationships.


However, if those planets are mostly in the masculine planets of fire and air, this can produce extreme impatience when the personal needs are thwarted or not immediately gratified. This person could be demanding, selfish or unrealistic about what to expect from others. For instance, a fire/air man may be extremely charming and suave yet controlling, demanding, and judgmental. He may have difficulty expressing anger in a healthy way, negatively impacting romantic relationships.

A preponderance of fixed signs in a chart, 3 or more major planets, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius lends to imbalance when there is an inability to change and only want things their way. A balanced fixed chart has the ability to follow through, is open-mined and dependable and not easily influenced by negative influences of others. Mutable folks, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces are so indecisive they may constantly change plans or commitments.  Cardinal folks, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn possess a desire and enthusiasm to make things happen, achieve, and accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Negatively, they may start too many projects and not complete them all.

Having the majority of planets in the Eastern hemisphere would show a person who is overly independent. These people are so interested in having their own needs and desires met they may not even be aware that their partners desires are not being met by them. It is so important to be able to tell the person we love and are involved with how we feel about them and know they are genuinely concerned about us. When there are hemisphere imbalances between a two people, this may be a source of conflict.


Eastern hemisphere people rarely turn to others for help. There is a level of pride in their independence. It can be very difficult to achieve true emotional intimacy with a person who has an overwhelming number of planets in the East.

Now, if we return to the Ascendant/Descendant axis and look at all the planets above this axis, the horizon, these planets are public.  Planets below this axis are private. Planets above the horizon have a need to express and share their ideas, thoughts, and philosophies publicly; they are more visible.  Planets below the horizon are less inclined to want center stage and are "introverted" or more reserved requiring privacy while planets above the horizon are "extroverted" desiring expression out into the World.

A high level of emotional maturity can overcome and mitigate challenging natal energies. The ability to "confront" and express both positive and negative emotions in a health manner fosters intimacy and connectedness.  In fact, a lack of confrontation actually destroys relationships because problems that aren't discussed are denied and pushed under the surface, fester, then undermine the connection.  Knowing which hemisphere your partner’s planets are located illuminates characteristic relating behaviors and aids in personal growth.

☆♥*♥☆ New Moon~Gemini ☆♥*♥☆

By Lorraine Valente

     Three days before the New Moon is called the Balsamic Phase. The Balsamic Moon appears after the waning Crescent Moon, just before she completely vanishes from visibility ushering in the dark of the Moon, the New Moon. During this darkness it is time to retreat, become receptive to nuances and impressions, and to let go. Whatever information or answers are needed will eventually be illuminated. This is why the New Moon is symbolic of change and new beginnings. The dark of the Moon is a gate of inspiration.
     The Balsamic Phase is also called the "Wishing Moon". It's an auspicious time to create that which is desired.  Particular focus may be given to the sign of the New Moon and where that sign falls in your birth chart.  The June 12, 2010 New Moon falls in the sign of Mercury-ruled Gemini at 21-22 degrees.  This is a communicative, lively, busy, nervous, mutable, air Moon.  The area of life in which this New Moon falls in your chart may experience spontaneous activity.

     On the East Coast, the New Moon appears at 7:15am.  By 7:35 pm the Moon is Void-of-Course (VOC)  until it enters it's own sign, Cancer, at 9:50 pm EDT.  Chiron, Uranus and Jupiter are at 00 degrees, also ushering in new energy and a brand new cycle.

☆♥*♥☆ Make a Wish....Blow a Kiss to the Universe~! ☆♥*♥☆

     Remember, I'm available for consultations and readings 7 days via phone, e-mail or in-person. Enjoy your weekend, and Happy New Moon! ♥
