☆♥☆ Happy Birthday Aquarius ☆♥☆

Aquarius the Water Bearer!
For those born from January 19 ~ February 18!
Key Phrase is “I Know”.

Aquarius is a Fixed (settled, stubborn), air (thought, intellect) sign located in the Eastern Hemisphere of the chart. Aquarius rules 11th house affairs engaging aspects of friendships, organizations, associations, clubs, hopes and wishes, finances of the employer, the mother’s money (it’s the 2nd house from the 10th), step children (7th from the 5th) as well as counselors, acquaintances and Astrologers. Aquarians are considered entrepreneurs and philanthropists of the zodiac and may be rebellious, eccentric, erratic, and humanitarian. 

Aquarius' modern ruling planet is the erratic and unpredictable Uranus. In traditional astrology, Uranus is a derelict because he brings sudden, unexpected change into ones life. The symbolism reminds me of the Tower in the Tarot Deck. Uranus transits often triggers some type of catastrophic change to ones life. If Uranus is strong in the natal, you may be drawn to unusual, creative, non-conforming or the anti-establishment ideas and associations. Aquarians are known for their inventiveness, being a little “off the top” and have no interest in conservative convention. 

Uranus also rules electricity, the Internet and yes, Astrologers! Some consider Astrologers to be a little “odd”!! It’s not that we are, you know, it’s just that we have a unique way of perceiving the world and others. Because Aquarian’s are “quirky” they may  feel outcast or have even felt adopted by their family. It is more of a vague feeling of not quite fitting in.

Aquarius relates to the ankles, calves and the nervous system. Illnesses may develop in the central nervous system when Uranus aspects (connects) to the natal chart by transit and progression (conjunction, square, opposition, quindecile, parallel and quincunx). Uranus is “electric” and may trigger spasms in the ankles/lower calf. Even the astrological glyph for Aquarius resembles electric waves. Other health issues to watch during a Uranus transit might manifest in excessive nervous energy, sciatic pain, ankle or calf cramps, edginess, nervous irritability, inability to fall or stay asleep, feeling "wired", and general feelings of tension. It is important eat foods high in magnesium or take magnesium supplements.

When Uranus transits and forms a 180 degree angle opposite natal Uranus at approximately age 41-43, this is called the Uranus Opposition, or what mainstream folk coined the Mid-life crises.  Kundalini energy forces expression during this time and that enthusiastic energy expresses itself with an intense desire to break free from any perceived restriction or from the status quo. Marriages and relationships come up for review and/or undergo tremendous changes, while some may end completely. Sometimes a long term relationship legally commit and people marry, while other relationships end, or the dynamics of that relationship change. The Universe offers a variety of unique and different encounters, events, and draws upon different types of experiences.  During this time, there may be associations with others with different sexual proclivities that seduces one into unique forms of experience. You may welcome new acquaintances of another age group, value system, cultural background,and new hobbies and interests other than the familiar and comfortable.   Any attempt to limit or restrain ones individuality will be fought will intense rebellion. 

 The influence of Uranus is why Aquarians tend to think “out of the box”. They are the iconoclasts, futurists, technology guru's and inventors of the zodiac. We admire and love their unique ability to accurately assess and understand people and circumstances which they have not ever experienced or met.

              "I think, therefore I am." ~ Decartes’

☆♥*♥☆Happy Birthday Sagittarius ☆♥*♥☆

Happy Birthday Sagittarius the Archer!
November 22~December 21
Key Phrase for Sagittarius is "I SEEK"

“Faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound,able to bend steel in his bare hands! Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s SAGITTARIUS!” Well, he might as well be! Have you ever known a Sagittarian who didn’t fly? “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” is their credo and where you'll find Sagittarius.

Sagittarians enjoy the well-known reputation as the bachelors of the zodiac (along with Libra~!) and make no doubt about it…these guys are smoothe and charming. In fact, you might say charm is their middle, first …and their last name too…only thing is by the time you get to figuring out exactly what their last name is, they are GONE. Poof! Jupiter wants to scale mountains, run marathons, and fully develop every bit of potential. Places to go, things to do and see..... Sometimes this means going beyond the limits which is why many Jupiter-born folks believe they're “off limits” or untouchable. Often an urge to align with a greater vision; they possess a unique method of rationalizing and justifying. Sometimes known to have foot-in-mouth-disease; Meaning...Open wide and stick foot in as far as it can go! If you want the truth, nothing but the truth so help you G -d, ask a Sagittarian. They'll blurt it out willingly, with an impish smile, then "perhaps" an apology, if you’re that fortunate. Honesty is an admirable quality and they may be brutally upfront,always knowing exactly where you stand when in their company.

“My stupid mouth, has got me in trouble,
I said too much again,
To a date over dinner yesterday,
And I could see she was offended
She said “well anyway….”
Just dying for a subject change.
Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said, “think before speaking”
No filter in my head
Oh, what’s a boy to do…..”
~John Mayer~Room for Squares~My Stupid Mouth

Jupiter, Sag’s ruling planet, has a cycle of approximately 12 years. The planet Jupiter is our largest planet and is known to have quite a few Moons! In fact, we aren’t even sure how many Moons (women) Jupiter has because new ones are surfacing and discovered all the time. That Jupiter was discovered to have so many more moons shouldn’t surprise us because it is the planet of “abundance”. He was also known as a womanizer in myth. Juno, Jupiter’s wife, was acutely awareof his many Moons, “women”, in his life.

Alternately, whatever Jupiter touches by transit literally expands in nature. Jupiter bestows wonderful gifts and some have even called him “Santa Claus”. However, you know the expression about too much of a good thing, right? Sometimes Jupiter transits offer financial gain or weight gain! Excessive behavior, exaggeration or over doing it is linked to Sagittarius/Jupiter.

It was known that Jupiter spent most of his time pursuing his many love interests. The question of faithfulness often surfaces when discussing Sagittarians because they are usually seeking or wanting the next adventure, particularly if it is outdoors. According to Ariel Guttman and Kenneth Johnson’s Mythic Astrology, state that correlation between Chiron, Jupiter, and Sagittarius are apparent. Usually committed to their current partner; yet that is not the primary issue. “But how LONG they can sustain themselves in that commitment is another question. “Til Death do us part” is not a credo that Sagittarians hold dear (unless the chart contains strong Juno or Cancer symbolism)..and when pushed against the wall to say those words they usually tremble”.

Sagittarius’ polar opposite (9th house~higher educations, beliefs, philosophies, legal matters, publishing and teaching) is the mutable, air sign Gemini (3rd house~thoughts, communication, perception, siblings, early education including teachers, short distance travel and automobiles). The formation and integration of philosophies and beliefs are of great significance for Sagittarius, contingent upon other areas of the birth chart. When under stress each sign may operate through the most negative characteristics of their polar opposite, the sign 180 degrees opposite itself. In this case, when under stress, Sagittarius may behave similar to mutable, airy Gemini, ruled by Mercury and then behaves scattered, fickle, and non-committal.

During Jupiter transits or if Jupiter is significantly placed in the natal, you may experience benefit, abundance, fortune, or excess. Where does Sagittarius fall in your chart? Jupiter?

☆♥*♥☆ Happy Birthday Scorpio♏ ☆♥*♥☆

Happy Birthday Scorpio♏ the Scorpion!
Those born from October 23~November 22!  
Key Phrase for Scorpio is “I Desire”

Scorpio♏ abhors phoniness usually detects a lie even before the spoken word is uttered. You are honest, loyal and perceptive. Scorpio Rising (Ascendant) individuals often have angular facial features and are easily recognized by their piercing eyes. The expression “the eyes are window of the soul” may, very well be the hallmark of a person with planets in the sign of Scorpio…yet with a twist. You might say that Scorpio Rising people have the unique ability to see into the "soul" of others with sharp, penetrating gaze and possess an acute perceptual awareness.  You will never will a staring contast with a Scorpio!

Scorpio’s polar opposite (8th house~sexuality, taxes, values of others, others finances, inheritances, death and endings) is the fixed, earth sign Taurus (2nd house~values, finances, aesthetics, issues around personal security). The integration of my values and finances versus others values and finances in addition to security issues are Scorpio's concerns, also contingent upon other aspects in the natal. When under stress each sign may engage the most negative characteristics of their polar opposite, the sign 180 degrees opposite itself. When under stress, Scorpio may manifest the negative qualities of fixed, earthy Taurus, ruled by Venus♀. Some of those qualities would be the unique stubbornness, inflexibility, and fixity of the Bull; temper tantrums and sulking, another option.

Icy Pluto♇ rules Scorpio♏. Some astrologers still utilize Mars♂ as Scorpio’s ruler. I tend to look first towards Pluto then towards Mars since Pluto is actually considered the higher octave of Mars in traditional astrology. They are often associated with the 1st and 2nd chakras where instincts and survival issues are centered; 8th house versus 2nd house issues. I will venture a guess that a Scorpio may have “invented” the concept of “Soul Mates”. :-)

Obsessions, compulsions, addictions, and uncontrollable passions all fall under Pluto’s realm. If your Pluto♇ makes an aspect to a partner’s Venus or Mars…sparks fly. Astrologer Linda Goodman in her book, Relationship Signs writes “Venus/Pluto contacts indicate a “Soul Mate” relationship. There is an indisputable karmic tie between people with this combination and it’s a powerful one. Even when there are disagreements….it is next to impossible to separate the two permanently. Anyone who tries to come between you will not succeed”. Pluto has strength, perseverance, and staying power. He definitely doesn't give up yet will take his own sweet time teaching or learning a lesson.   Pluto♇ is associated with sexual alchemy, intensity, control, passion, and change. Complete transformation may result.

Scorpio Careers: Sex Therapist, Psychologist, Mortician, Estate Planner, Surgeon, Detective, Forensics, Researcher, Investigator, Teacher, Trash Collectors, Data Mining and Security Technicians.

☆♥*♥☆ Happy Birthday Leo ☆♥*♥☆

 

Happy Birthday Leo♌~!

For those born between July 22~Aug 23rd.

Key Phrase is: I ROAR....ooops...only teasing... I WILL 

Applause, applause!! Leo’s love an audience and usually position themselves to be the center of attention. They have a keen need to feel appreciated and accomplish something in life they feel proud of. Leo♌ is a masculine, fixed (steady and determined), fire (intuitive, fiery) sign located in the 2nd quadrant (other oriented and inter-personal)  Western Hemisphere of the chart. Because Leo resides in the 5th house ruled by the Sun☉, our life force, ego ideal, the future, children, creativity, and romance are most important to Leo♌. Leo loves romance and shine brightly in most relationships…so long as they are viewed as “King”.

Leo's may be incredibly charming and possess a fun, child-like carefree attitude. Leo is recognized by their charismatic presence and a great big smile. When Leo enters a room, people take notice! Leo is also known for a warm hearted and affectionate nature. Naturally self expressive, Leo is the drama Queen or King of the zodiac and also King of the Jungle!! (or Queen of the office or hearth!) The luminary ruling Leo♌ is our life giving Sun☉. The Sun shines brightly during the day sky with our Moon goddess absorbing his light to reflect back in the evening, once the Sun has disappeared from view. The glyph/symbol for the sign of Leo♌ is associated with kundalini energy. Kundalini is coiled at the base of the spine and is our vital energy.

Lioness photo taken at the Tiger Reserve~Harbin, China

Leo♌ rules the spine, back, and heart. The heart is associated with emotions and love, and Leo’s can be absolutely devoted to those they love. The heart chakra is the life force and where harmony and trust reside. When the heart chakra is “open” there is flexibility to give and receive love. Being open to change and accepting of new ideas leads to personal growth. When feeling hurt, Leo retreats to their “cave” to lick their wounds, in private. When the heart chakra is closed or off balance, the ability to receive or give love is compromised. Count to ten and practice deep breathing. Individuals with the Ascendant in Leo and/or planets in the 5th house may exhibit some of these personality characteristics.

Leo’s polar opposite (5th house~romance, children, creativity, gambling) is the fixed, air sign Aquarius (11th house~friendships, organizations, associations, hopes, and wishes). Integrating romance, children, and creative outlets with independence, individuality, friendships, and associations are concerns for Leo♌, also contingent upon other areas of the birth chart.

When under stress each sign operates through the most negative characteristics of their polar opposite; the sign 180 degrees opposite itself. When under stress, Leo♌ may become erratic, unpredictable, and extremely willful and can not be tied down at all, similiar to airy Aquarius, the water bearer, ruled by iconoclast Uranus. Aquarians seem distant or cool because they are air and tend to “think”or intellectualize emotions. When under stress, Leo♌ will toss whatever is troubling them over the shoulder and say, "I simply don't need this!" While this may be an emotional issue, it is more likely concerning a relationship or romantic partner.

Since Leo is a "Lion", let's celebrate Leo♌ as symbol for all cats, large and small. If you properly stroke or caress Leo (grooming fur in one direction) Leo will purrrrrrr… When cat’s purr they express contentment. They don't want their fur fluffed in the wrong direction though! Beware. They'll swipe you with a clawed-extended paw! Lions are very protective of their cubs (children). If Leo is prominent in your chart, children (your cubs) are your lifeline.

The sound of a cat purring is soothing and healing. You might enjoy the article "A Cats Purr" at this site: http://paulapeterson.com/CatsPurr.html Cats are natural Reiki Masters and Massage Therapists. Simply watch any kitty “kneed” a pillow, your arm, any soft spot on your body or your other cat!

☆♥*♥☆ 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!

☆♥*♥☆ Happy Birthday Taurus♉ ☆♥*♥☆

Happy Birthday Taurus♉!
For those born between April 20th – May 19th
The Key Phrase is: I Own.

Taurus♉ is a fixed (directed, willful), earth (grounded, stable) sign located in the 1st quadrant (self oriented/personal) of the Eastern Hemisphere of the chart. Because Taurus resides in the 2nd house of the zodiac and is ruled by the planet Venus♀, beauty and possessing objects of worth are important to Taurus. Material belongings and possessing bring a sense of peace to security-minded Taurus.

In a previous LunarNotes blog we discussed how the sign of Aries inhabits the 1st house of the natural zodiac. The first house is the cusp of the Ascendant also known as the Rising Sign. Because Taurus arrives immediately after fiery 1st house Aries, who screams they have “arrived”, Taurus asks, “What do I desire", and "What shall I possess or own”? Taurus desires to create a sense of security by collecting that which they value. In order to build this sense of security or self worth, Taurus develops a value system. That value system usually includes people, objects of lasting beauty, sensuality and the sense of touch, sensual pleasures including food, jewelry, furs, beautiful surroundings etc, the need to vocalize (Taurus rules the throat, desires, and a love nature).

The ability to earn an income and special talents may all be found in the 2nd house of the natal chart. Venus♀, Taurus’ ruling planet also reflects ability and how we socialize. Taurus is also the gardener of the zodiac and loves nature. If you have no planets in your 2nd house, look to where the ruler of that house (the cusp ruler) is located and, along with its aspects, and this will provide a glimpse of where your talents, values and earning potential is derived.

☆♥*♥☆ Happy Birthday Pisces, Full Moon ☆♥*♥☆

by Lorraine Valente

Happy Birthday Pisces!

For those born between February 18th~March 20th
The Key Phrase is: I Believe.

Pisces♓ is a mutable (changeable, flexible), water (intuitive, emotions) sign located in the Eastern Hemisphere of the chart. Pisces governs the last house, the 12th house, of the natural zodiac. 12th house areas of life invludes hospitals, institutions, confinement, dreams, large animals, psychic influences and meditation, solitude, secret sorrows, sensing, and the subconscious, to name a few. Pisceans are usually those most willing sacrifice themselves for others. They are compassionate and idealistic, often to a fault. If you have a Pisces Sun☀, or if you have planets located in the 12th house, you're intuitive and may possess psychic ability. Spending some time alone is conducive as you'll need to trust your intuitive inner guidance.

Those born under this sign and/or or have personal planets in aspect to Neptune♆ make wonderful counselors, healers, nurses, musicians, dancers, ice skaters, visionary writers, and artists. The Piscean personality is mutable (changeable) and easily influenced by family and friends rather than paying closer attention to their keen intuition. They feel and know things about people that may be invalidated by others. When their insights are repeatedly ignroed,  Pisces begins to believe that their reality is inaccurate and wrong. The truth is that others are not as keenly aware, or they're in denial about what Pisces intuit so easily.

Piscean♓ health issues relates to the feet and immune system; strange illnesses, silent viruses or autoimmune disorders, some of which may have been hidden such as anemia, HIV, AIDS, or Herpes. Sometimes symptoms appear and a diagnosis is difficult to make. Pisces’ polar opposite (12th house~hospitals) is Virgo (6th house~health). The immune system is under strain when Neptune♆ makes difficult angle connections by transit to planets (conjunctions, squares, oppositions and quincunx).

Your ruling planet is the romantic, dreamy, wispy, illusive and mutable planet Neptune♆. Neptune is fog…you simply can’t “grasp” it and it’s often too dense to see through it. If Neptune is strong in your chart, you may have artistic or musical ability. The image I envision of Neptune is the Good Fairy sprinkling fairy dust that temporarily clouds your good judgment. Since Neptune/Pisces rules the feet, ballet dancers and other forms of dance fall under Neptune’s domain. Negatively, if Pisces folk aren’t in tune with their inner calling, they fall prey to Neptune’s illusions, develop addictive tendencies and a victim mentality causing them to lose their way; lost at sea. Alcohol is poison to Pisces folks.

Sexually speaking, the Pisces/Virgo polarity symbolizes the role of victim/savior, sadomasochism, experimentation, visual stimulation and images that fuel an active inner fantasy world; pornography and voyeurism is likely. Erogenous zones are the feet.

Collective consciousness is the polar opposite of individual consciousness; in the Piscean personality, therefore, the individual ego may be quite weak, while the pletora of universal images is exceptionally strong. Consequently, Pisces is easily influenced, and may come to believe, from listening to friends, parents, or teachers~that his or her intuitive slant on reality is somehow inappropriate or simply wrong .

Since Pisces♓ is the last sign of the zodiac, some say it is the most spiritually evolved sign because compassion and selflessness are indicative of a person with Pisces energy. There is a gentleness, softness and innocence related to this sign. One of the 3 emotional water signs, Pisces lives in a world of dreams and romance. This romantic soul wants to feel deeply connected with their partner.

The Sun's☀ entrance into Pisces♓ at 7:25pm EST, arrives hours after the Full Leo♌ Moon at 29 degrees.

Heres what's happening:

Full Regulus Moon, Friday, February 18, 2011 3:36am EST then Sun☀ ----> Pisces 7:25pm
29 Leo♌, Fixed Star Regulus = Success if revenge is avoided, Healing, Nobility, Great Power & Leadership, Nobility.
Mystic Rectangle = Node 29 Sagittarius♐ ---> Moon 29 Leo♌ --->South Node 29 Gemini 44♊ ---> Neptune/Sun/Chiron ---> Node 29 Sagittarius♐

Sun/Moon = 29 Scorpio♏

Ceres, Mercury☿, Mars♂, Neptune♆, Sun☀ = Aquarius ♒

Keywords for Pisces: Adore, Bliss, Enchantment, Love, Escapist, Illusive, Compassion, Denial, Boundaries, Dreamy, Captivating, Idealistic, Sacrifice, Martyr, Vaporous, Illusion, Impressionable, Addictive, Unreal, Imaginative, Romance, Victim, Savior, Masochist, Joy, Ecstasy, Selfless, Deceptive, Affection, Sensuality, Artistic, Shoes, Feet, Nervous System, Emotional, Giver, Sensitive, Trickery, Ambiguity, Secrets, Expressive, and Clairvoyant.

☆♥*♥☆ Happy Birthday Capricorn ☆♥*♥☆

by Lorraine Valente

Happy Birthday Capricorn the Sea Goat!
Those born from December 22~ January 21!
Key Phrase for Capricorn is “I Utilize”

Capricorn is a Cardinal (action oriented, initiator), earth (pragmatic and grounded) sign located in the Eastern Hemisphere of the chart. Capricorn governs the 10th house of the natural zodiac. Capricorns are considered the workaholics of the zodiac. Saturn-ruled Capricorn expects nothing less from us lest he's willing to do himself. Capricorns are dutiful, reliable, and steady. As children Capricorns were the kids everyone relied upon, the leader offering guidance and wisdom beyond their years. Capricorns are said to be old before their time, wise beyond their years, and very mature. However, they tend to act and appear younger with each passing year, perhaps making up for all that lost time! Capricorn relates to the skin, bones/skeletal system, knees and arthritis…illnesses where inflexibility or rigidity settles in the body.

The ruling planet is restrictive, disciplined and structured Saturn. In traditional astrology, Saturn is considered a malefic planet and tends to operate through fear. Saturn is thrifty, tactful, disciplined, stern, cold and severe. Saturn transits usually entails some form of limitation to the area of life in which the transit occurs. Frustration and hard work is expected from Saturn. If you meet Saturn's challenges and work with his energy, wisdom and benefits are earned resulting from your perseverance. Decisions are made or finalized during Saturn transits. On the positive side, when self-disciplined and self-directed at a task, accomplishment and financial gain is your “Saturnian” reward. If  Saturn is prominant in your chart, you may be drawn to antiques, ruins, ancient times and even collecting old objects of substance and worth.

 Saturn and  Capricorn reside in the 10th house, at the cusp of  the MC or Medium Coeli. The 10th house is typically linked to structures, real estate, public reputation and work in society, timing, cycles and wisdom earned as a result of difficult tasks. The 10th house, the ruler of the 10th, and planets in the 10th are also symbolic of the mother, traditionally, or often the parent who was most influential in early life. Saturn is a tough teacher and taskmaster. He sets limits, boundaries and obstacles to overcome. Depending on how well we do, he may grant a “reward” or payoff for persevering. In Karmic Astrology, Saturn plays an important role and represents cycles of time. When in a “karmic” relationship, there may experience intense a feelings, a lack of control over the events and circumstances within the relationship. Through these circumstances and events, a new self-awareness develops, a new perspective and understanding of the person involved and also how we relate to the environment. Saturn sometimes present us with someone approximately 7, 14, 21 years older or younger than ourselves. “When the student is ready, the teacher (Saturn) will appear.” Some karmic relationship dynamics are teacher/student, parent/child or counselor/patient. There's something which must be taught, and something that needs to be learned and understood…by both participants. Saturn is considered the glue between individuals and astrologers want to see at least one Saturn contact from each partner connected to a plant in the partner's chart. If one individual provides the important Saturn connections to a partner, while the partner has few or none, that partner may not feel as connected or committed to the relationship as the individual with the majority of Saturn contacts. Saturn contacts in synastry (chart comparison)  usually augurs a lasting and binding relationship, although it may not always be an easy one.

Martin Schulman, in his wonderful Karmic Astrology series states: “Every time our unconscious is working something out, it calls into our lives the people who have within the pieces of the answer we are seeking.” What he means is that you may find that a certain type of person or situation repeatedly enters your life. Just as you end a relationship with one person with a particular problem, another enters your life, often disguised, with a similar problem! (that is if you haven’t worked through and learned your lesson from before) Sometimes the Universe offers this situation or person as a “test” to see how much you have learned from your last similar experience. Or…you may consequentively meet several people with the same Sun, Moon or similar aspects. There is something the Universe is pointing towards and you must pay attention to what is being presented as an important learning experience. This is Saturn~ the wise teacher and why others often consult Capricorn’s for their cut to the chase advice.

Capricorn’s polar opposite (10th house~public reputation, real estate, business affairs, power, credit, profession and the Mother) is cardinal, water Cancer (4th house~ home, family, children, the past and root in early childhood). Career versus home, working and family are issues frequently in conflict for Capricorns, also contingent upon other areas of the birth chart. When under stress, each sign operates through the most negative characteristics of their polar opposite, the sign 180 degrees opposite itself. In this case, when under stress, Capricorn adopts characterisitics of emotional Cancer, ruled by the Moon and may become emotionally distraught, moody and temperamental, withdrawing, crawling into its shell for self-nurturing, distance and comfort.

During Saturn transits or if Saturn is prominent in your chart, you may experience restrictions, boundary issues, and extra responsibilities. Hard work and a busy routine is certainly on the horizon.

☆♥*♥☆Happy Birthday Libra ☆♥*♥☆

by Lorraine Valente

Happy Fall Equinox Birthday Libra, the Scales!
For those born September 22~October 22!
Key Phrase for Libra is “I Balance”

Fetching Venus rules Libra, the 7th house, and includes all relationships; marriage, partnerships, open enemies, and legal disputes.  Libra's tend to develop many interests including theater, decorating, creating beautiful music, art collecting; anything that is aesthetically pleasing and luxurious. Libra's are likable because they exude a certain amount of charm, grace, elegant sense of style and good taste. They enjoy entertaining and all the comforts money can buy, much like Venus-ruled Taurus.

Libra abhors discord and literally runs in the opposite direction to avoid anything or anyone distasteful and unpleasant. Libra wants to smooth over difficult situations and “mediate” the atmosphere. In order to avoid difficult situations, Libra may hide or stifle their own true feelings to not make waves. They're often indecisive and have difficulty making firm decisions and commitments. Libra Rising (Ascendant) individuals are usually visually attractive, charming, and often graced with attractive legs! Libra ascendants are discussed in greater detail further in this newsletter.

Libra folks want their relationships to be fair and in balance. They are born diplomats. Often enough, the task is working at "maintaining" harmony rather than naturally being harmonious. Idealistic, naturally optimistic, and romantic, Libra will do everything in their power to please you. Libra affinity with Venus is associated with the traditional marriage and they're usually involved on a romantic relationship and, if not, maintain several platonic ones.

What you got boy, is hard to find
I think about it all the time
I'm all strung out my heart is fried
I just can't get you off my mind!
Because your love your love your love is my drug
Your love your love your love
Your love your love your love is my drug
Your love your love your love. ~Ke$sha~"Love is my Drug"

Fairness and seeing both sides of a situation is a positive quality while co-dependence is their negative trait. Yet, Libra's appear to marry less often than other signs.  Why, you ask?  They simply can't make up their minds! Libra's vacillate so much in relationship decision-making that the object of their affections tires, feels undesirable, and may walk away....quickly into the arms of someone else. One reason for indecision is that disillusionment sets in when Libra realizes the loved partner is "human".  Separation, detachment, and challenges ensue that "test" the stability of the bond. Libra may be so emotionally detached, like their polar opposite Aries, or act out the negative qualities of Aries i.e.: anger, rage, overly independent, impulsive, egoistic and difficult.

I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around. ~"Love Story"~Taylor Swift

In health matters, Libra rules the kidneys, veins and the acid-alkaline metabolism.  If the body is too acidic, insomnia, headaches, heartburn and nervousness may result. Venus ruled Libra may also be addicted to "sweets" or succumb to sugary foods.

The Sun is in "fall" in the sign of Libra because its light is often lost to the "other". This means that Libra tends to see others as their source of energy and light which is why Libra's are often called "co-dependent". More on the topic of co-dependence in the next blog. Integration, awareness, and personal growth are necessary goals.

"I bet if I give all my love,

....then nothings gonna tear us apart." ~Drake ~"Find Your Love"

Libra is the only sign of the zodiac that is a mechanical device rather than an animal or human figure. “The scales in Libra had a deep significance for the Egyptians. It was said that at the time of death the goddess Maat placed the human soul on one scale and a feather on the other. If the scale tipped even slightly, the soul must reincarnate with the goal of releasing the extra weight. Since Libra comes before Scorpio, the sign associated with death, which the Egyptians honored in the eloquent preparations for the afterlife, the prime goal in life was to make the scales balance, or to prepare the soul for its afterlife” (Guttman & Johnson, 1991).

Libra’s polar opposite (7th house~partnerships, relationships, law suits, open enemies, marriage) is the cardinal, fire sign Aries (1st house: personality, self, and physical appearance). The integration of "me" versus "us" is a challenge for Libra, also contingent upon other areas of the birth chart. When under stress each sign operates through the most negative characteristics of their polar opposite, the sign 180 degrees opposite itself. When under stress, Libra adopts negative characteristics of fiery Aries, ruled by war god Mars, and loose their balance, becomes impulsive, disruptive, vengeful, or impatient.

Interestingly, there is greater geomagnetic disturbances in the ocean During March/April, the Spring Equinox (Aries), and September/October during the Autumn Equinox (Libra). Fewer disturbances are found at the Solstice Points of December/January (Capricorn) and June/July (Cancer). Since Aries/Libra symbolizes the relationship axis, this dynamic illuminates the unique and disparate energies of Mars (Aries) and Venus (Libra)!

If you have your…

Ascendant in Libra: Libra rising folks possess grace, poise and charm. Individuals with Libra on the Ascendant are usually quite attractive facially. One of their best physical features is usually their well formed legs. They take pride in their attire and care for their physical body.  They are attractive to others and are usually well liked. Mostly optimistic and sensitive, this Ascendant may be deeply hurt by others, yet not show it. Sometimes a bit outwardly aloof, people tend to not understand what is going on inside of you. Artistic and musically incline, Libra rising excels in the social graces. Sometimes possessing an overly dependent nature on others and passive avoidance in decision making. At least four of my family members have a Libra Ascendant!

Moon in Libra: Moon in Libra individuals tend to possess a heightened awareness of people they come in contact with as well as keen perception of any environment. There is an emotional need for comfort and safety within immediate surroundings; it must be aesthetically pleases to the eye. The Libra Moon is charming and usually easy to live with because they possess the unique ability to smooth even the most hostile situations. Libra Moon is intuitive, imaginative and romantic.

Mercury in Libra: Here you have a rational mind weighing the pros and cons of every situation. You enjoy socializing yet are gentle in your approach. Libra Mercury prefers intellectual and creative individuals who spark your desire of debate.

Venus in Libra: Venus is comfortable is at home in Libra. This placement values a partner who is refined, charming and attractive. In love you are very romantic. Sometimes you may fall in love too easily. Venus in Libra is attracted to luxury and comforts in life and may be artistically inclined.

Mars in Libra: Mars in this sign is impulsive and sensual. Passion equals equity in this sign. You act with care in weighing every aspect of a situation.
