November 17 to 23, 2014

By Pam Younghans

 

Now, on with this week's forecast:

 

WE'RE WRAPPING UP some important lessons this week. On Tuesday, two days before our New Moon in Sagittarius, there is a Saturn-Sun alignment in Scorpio.

 

Saturn is never one to be frivolous. This is the planet that represents the concepts of responsibility, discipline, and patience. As Saturn transits each sign of the zodiac, we are called to embody new levels of maturity and realism related to the themes of that sign.

 

AS SATURN has journeyed through Scorpio for the past two years, it has required us to take responsibility for our deepest desires, our needs for control and power, and our motivations, compulsions, and addictions. And, since Scorpio rules the processes of death and rebirth, some have found their lessons to be in this area of the human experience, either literally or on psychological and emotional levels.

 

As the Sun and Saturn conjoin on Tuesday, we come face-to-face with some of the lessons noted in the paragraph above. This is an important opportunity for self-acceptance, as we see hidden or disowned aspects of our psyches reflected back to us by the people and events in our lives.

 

Once we have owned a truth about ourselves, we have a clear choice of next steps, based on the animals traditionally associated with Scorpio.

 

SCORPIO is the only sign of the zodiac that has two accepted animal symbols: the Scorpion and the Eagle (or Phoenix, in some traditions). This gives us important clues as to our options this week.

 

One option is to stay attached to an old definition of who we are, remaining in the darkness that has been uncovered. This would be the choice of the Scorpion, who hides under rocks and stings when revealed.

 

The other option is to choose the way of the Eagle, who flies high above the landscape. From its vantage point, the Eagle can see both the darkness and the light, but does not judge or cling to either. The Eagle represents clarity of vision and purpose, and shows us that the higher we go, the more we can release defining ourselves or others by choices of the past -- even the past of only yesterday.

 

THE CLEARING and release work that we do early in the week can enable us to begin the new lunar cycle with what feels like a much cleaner slate. Our New Moon on Saturday occurs less than three hours after the Sun enters Sagittarius, emphasizing the theme of opening anew to the adventure of life.

 

There are many different systems that assign symbolic images to each degree of the zodiac. I quote from the Sabian symbols quite a bit in this journal, but I also like other, more modern systems.

 

Astrologer Martin Goldsmith, in his book The Zodiac by Degrees, gives this image for the first degree of Sagittarius, where our New Moon is on Saturday:

"On a steep bluff, army veterans reminisce around a dying campfire while their leader surveys the countryside by the light of the rising sun."

The descriptive phrases for this image, which we can relate to the purposes of the lunar cycle that begins next weekend, includes:

"Looking toward new possibilities when an old trip is burnt out; setting clear goals that challenge one's best talents; figuring out which life battles really matter; ignoring unimportant problems and strengthening one's heart for the fight ahead; instigating collective action based on a clear vision of the future; cooperation and comradeship based on shared ideals; long-range plans and foresight; periodically reassessing one's progress toward grander goals."

THIS IS CERTAINLY a time to be looking forward rather than to the past. Pluto and Uranus have been doing a very good job of dismantling the old structures, so it is up to us to create new foundations for the future. With the Sun in Sagittarius until December 21, those foundations will be most successful if they are based on what we truly believe in, and what adds greater meaning to our lives.

 

One last note about this week -- Chiron stations direct next Sunday, so there is an added emphasis on healing now. Chiron in Pisces reveals where we hold fear instead of trust, and where we may choose self-sacrifice rather than unconditional love.

 

As Chiron is at a standstill this week, we are supported in embracing that wounded aspect of self, taking the fearful child into our hearts, to that place where only Trust, Love, and Healing can abide.

 

Blessings,

FULL MOON AND TOTAL ECLIPSE - OCTOBER 8, 2014

 

A TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE dominates the astrological news this week. All eclipses activate important changes and developments, and this one is especially potent in that regard.

First off, and most notably, the Moon is less than one degree away from Uranus at the time of the eclipse. This close proximity means that the Uranian themes of awakening, unexpected developments, rebellion against the status quo, originality, and invention are woven into the fabric of the lunation. 

Looking at that list of themes associated with Uranus, it is easy to see how this planet's influence corresponds with times of both breakthrough and breakdown, as mentioned in last week's Journal.

THE POSITIVE POTENTIALS of the breakthrough are supported in other components in the eclipse chart: Uranus in Aries is trine (120 degrees away from) both Jupiter in Leo and Mars in Sagittarius, forming a Grand Fire Trine. This configuration provides support for creative visioning and inspired (or impulsive) action.

And, very importantly, with the Sun positioned exactly opposite the Moon/Uranus, a more rare configuration called a Kite is formed. This represents a lot of energy stirring, that wants to be expressed and utilized, that finds it hard to sit still. 

ONE BY ONE, here's how the planets in the Kite configuration are assisting us:
Uranus/Moon in Aries: Providing the courage, insight, and self-focus needed to help us break away from restraints and limitations 
Jupiter in Leo: Expanding our self-confidence and optimism, encouraging us to live a life of joy and personal fulfillment 
Mars in Sagittarius: Igniting the fires of conviction and belief in what we know to be true, and providing the energy to take on new challenges and adventures 
Sun in Libra: Providing a foundation of balance and harmony, the ability to work with others to create win-win outcomes, and an emphasis on fairness and justice -- and, as the only representative of an air sign, helping us maintain some objectivity in the midst of all that fiery energy of the grand trine
ASTROLOGER BIL TIERNEY writes that a Kite configuration, when found in a natal chart, is "a dynamic indicator of success in life." 

Although a chart for an eclipse is not interpreted exactly the same as a chart for a new baby, there are some commonalities in that both are "birth charts" of a moment in time. Both show the potentials that are ready to express themselves -- one during the course of a lifetime, and the other in the unfolding of an eclipse cycle, which lasts for the six months that follow the date of the eclipse. 

Tierney also explains that the Kite expands the potentials of the Grand Fire Trine:
"[The Kite] serves to heighten our awareness of the Grand Trine's vast creative or spiritual potential, encouraging a fuller activation of its promise within a wider range of circumstancial experience. The Kite may actually be more versatile in its creative application, since it encourages eagerness of self-expression plus provides ample opportunities for such expression."
AS ALWAYS, the planetary energies that affect all of us are brought into personal focus by relating them to our individual birth charts. To find clues as to the effects of this Kite Eclipse in your personal life, the first step is to find where the planets in the Kite are located in relation to your birth chart. 

It is especially important to locate 15 degrees of Aries (the location of the Moon/Uranus) and, exactly opposite, 15 degrees of Libra (the location of the Sun):
The natal house where you find 15 degrees of Aries indicates the area of your life where special talents and skills are ready to be awakened, embraced, and utilized. 
The natal house where you find 15 degrees of Libra indicates the area of your life where events and circumstances will act as a catalyst to help you seek out those talents and skills.
And then, finding the houses that contain 15 degrees of Sagittarius and Leo, the other fire signs in the grand trine, will provide more insights as to what areas of life are calling for you to take a quantum leap. 

THE CHART for the Lunar Eclipse does include some challenges, however. The energies of the Pluto-Uranus square are stimulated by the lunation, so some changes will feel disruptive until we can shift our expectations and perspective enough to accept their purposes.

Venus is particularly involved here, being almost exactly square (90 degrees away from) Pluto. Venus rules relationships, values and financial matters, so we may be especially aware of conflicts in these areas of our lives. 

Powerful, instinct-driven, compulsive reactions can be triggered by Pluto. These are often indicators of emotional patterns that have control of us. These patterns need us to shine the light of higher awareness upon them so that we can see them for what they are.

SATURN also plays an important role in this eclipse chart, by being aligned with Ceres in Scorpio. The joining of these two emphasizes the need to gain greater self-discipline in our monitoring of inner negativity. 

Saturn, as always, is the lesson-bringer, and the voice of the Cosmic Parent. The ringed planet in Scorpio is telling us that it is time to be honest with ourselves about the emotional energy we emanate, and to take responsibility for transforming that energy as needed.

IF YOU'RE THINKING that this eclipse sounds like a powerful one, I heartily agree! Overall, it feels like there are great potentials for positive developments, but some bumps in the road at the same time. And, we are aware that all change, whether our minds call it "good" or "bad," registers high on the stress scale.

So remember to get plenty of sleep this week. Our minds and bodies will be needing lots of rest and rejuvenation time from dealing with these heightened energies.

Blessings, 
Pam

FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN - JULY 12, 2014

http://www.mysticmamma.com/full-moon-super-moon-in-capricorn-july-12th-2014/

Summer Solstice June 2014

Planet Alert - Summer Solstice June 2014

By Admin on behalf of Mahala, on June 14th, 2014

The Summer Solstice will occur this year on June 21 at 3:51 AM PDT. The Summer Solstice is always in effect until the Fall Equinox. The Summer Solstice and the Winter Solstice are always lined up with the Galactic Center which makes it a very important point in time. The planet Mercury (in retrograde) is also lined up with the Galactic Center this year. Actually I should say Mercury is in opposition to the Galactic Center which is 28 Sagittarius. Mercury will be on 28 Gemini. We feel the effects of this alignment either in conjunction or opposition.

The Midwest will feel the full force of this Summer Solstice. As the Sun moved through Gemini it activated fires in various parts of the west, like Arizona and the fire in Sedona, along with the fire in Bend, Oregon.  As the Sun starts its journey through the sign of Cancer on June 21 we will once again be in the water emotional energy of Cancer. I believe the energy from this Solstice will culminate on July 4^th when there is again a cardinal cross in the heavens which points to Washington, D.C.  There was just a major change in our government yesterday when Erik Cantor  lost his election. He was number two in the Republican leadership.  I believe this will have a large impact on the Republican Party.

Did you hear that they are closing down HAARP? They are not only going to shut it down, they are going to dismantle it. Now if we could just get the rest of the world to shut down their High Frequency Active Auroral  Research Programs we will have it made. And the Pope is firing more people who have been associated with the Vatican Bank. Changes are occurring on a large level.

NASA just announced that the Sun has finished her pole shift. NASA said last fall that the Sun was in a pole shift and thought it would finish before the end of the year although they did not announce the shift was complete until June 10, 2014. The Sun will now have four poles instead of two. This information about the four poles came from a Japanese observatory.  How will this new Sun affect us? Will it make any difference if it has four poles or two? I guess time will tell.

The four poles on the Sun will make a cross. I find it so interesting that there was a cross on the Sun at the same time there was a planetary cross in the heavens, especially because the planets were on thirteen degrees. Thirteen is of course the number of change and transformation. I believe we are soon to finish a major transformation on Earth, and maybe also on the Sun. I know the Sun feels much hotter now than it did in the past.  I now have to wear a hat in the Sun or my head starts to hurt. Maybe that is because our brains have been changing.

The past couple of weeks have been very hard on the physical body for those of us who are very sensitive. I know that whenever we have a solar flare or CME my eyes become blurred. Yesterday there were two X class flares and I woke up in the morning and could not see very well so I went into www.spaceweather.comand saw there had been two flares plus CMEs. I feel the flares as soon as they happen. It does not matter if they are Earth directed or not. I also feel the solar wind when there is a lot of energy hitting the magnetic field of Earth.

This full moon on June 12^th along with the solar flares caused a lot of violence all over the world. The reason for the violence is because Mars has been in an exact square to Pluto and this causes violence. Solar flares stir up energy. We are witnessing this violence as we watch a major crisis develop in Iraq, which seemed to come out of nowhere. The strongest part of the full moon is a few days before it is full.  Once it is full the energy dissipates, at least for me. Mars will start moving away from Pluto in July and then that energy will start to diminish. Then Mars and Saturn will meet in Scorpio, which will probably bring more military action to the Middle East and the Ukraine.

We are also moving into fast-speed transformation. Has anyone been having a problem with their nervous system lately? I think our nervous system has been in a transformation state for a while now. I noticed it big time in the past couple of weeks. I woke up in the middle of the night about a week ago and was really cold and my body was shaking. I thought there goes my nervous system again. I think our nervous system has been activating our pineal and pituitary glands and I think we are about to move into an accelerated chakra activation including the opening of our thirteen chakras.

I would like to quote a paragraph in the book ‘The Diamond Codes by Celia Fenn’. “As the Heart Chakra becomes the center of the New System, it expands and develops another section which is called the ‘High Heart’ chakra and connects into the Thymus Gland. The Throat Chakra also expands and develops a new section that is responsible for extending the range of communication and expression in the individual. This connects into the Thyroid Gland. The Brow Chakra and Crown Chakra are also redefined to extend the ability and range of the Physical Body, and connect into the Pituitary and Pineal Glands. Once these shifts are made the extended Light Body then develops.”

I believe we are in this process now. Most of us have connected our brains with our heart which gives us the ability to ‘Think with our heart’. This is the first step in the activation of our other chakras. Another quote “The full activation of the Earth Star Chakra and the Soul Star Chakra (which is right above our Crown Chakra) are the two most important steps in the development of the Light Body and its activation. These two chakras anchor the energy between Heaven and Earth.”

I think it is a good idea to go barefoot on the Earth every day, if possible. This connects us to Mother Earth and I believe that is a very important thing to do. It also helps us heal, and balances our energy field. Once we make a connection to the Earth we can start activating our extended light bodies. This will include the activation of our other chakras which are connected to the Universe like our Galactic Chakra, our Universal Chakra, and our Cosmic Chakra.

This is when we can start manifesting very fast. Have you noticed how fast things manifest now? It is like it is almost instant.  We will also start becoming younger, healthier and full of energy. What we think is what we create so this is the time to really pay attention to your thoughts and feelings. If we put our feelings into our creations, we will then be able to start manifesting almost instantly. 

I am really excited about life. We are so lucky to be living through these great changes. Once we finish activating our extended light body we will have it made. Then it won’t matter what someone else does in this world because we will be living on a higher frequency world. We will then become great Beings of light and shine like the Sun in all its glory.     So Be It!   I send you my blessings.

Posted by Carrie Ann Salvi

The outlook is all about change for the better and making choices for our higher good, as told on Tonight’s Second Sight Show  featuring Lydia Bisante, a Master Astrologer and Intuit. Both Lydia and Christiana gave their Spiritual spin on the current, intense astrological happenings which include a Cardinal Grand Cross, a solar eclipse, a new moon in Taurus, and Mars Retrograde.

The combined energies are compelling us to look deep within, and ethical, humanitarian values are rebelling against structure, power, and government. Change is imminent as we become more dissatisfied with lies, deceit, and propaganda.

Weak relationships and people may be eliminated during these important times, as frameworks built on fear are replaced with love and unity.

Lydia gives insight into the future months and years, but for today, on the Taurus New Moon, it’s all about writing down your intentions. Take 30 minutes and  take a listen to the replay of this amazing show!

APRIL 21 TO 27, 2014

Posted Sunday, April 20, 2014 NorthPoint Astrology Journal Your Guide to Planetary Energies for April 21 to 27, 2014 By Pam Younghans Today's photo: Phases of the Lunar Eclipse on April 15, 2014 (photo by Jose Flores, posted on SpaceWeather.com)   THE EXCITEMENT continues this week, and into next as well. Starting today, Sunday the 20th, through Wednesday the 23rd, the four planets in the Cardinal Grand Cross are at their closest proximity by degree -- which means the configuration is technically most exact (and strongest in influence) over these four days.   We can imagine a grand cross (also called a grand square) as four planets sitting on four sides of a table, each with a different agenda and a different style of communicating. For this grand cross, sitting at the table are:   Uranus, the liberator, the rebel, the planet that inspires awakenings in consciousness and stirs restlessness with the status quo, especially anything that feels like a limitation or expectation. Uranus is in action-oriented Aries, which means our feelings of dissatisfaction very easily are turned into action for change. Depending on where Uranus is transiting through our birth charts, we may be feeling the need for change in our jobs (6th house), our relationships (7th house), our home environment (4th house), or elsewhere.   Pluto, the transformer, the intensifier, the planet that brings powerful desires to the surface as a vehicle for necessary change. Pluto is in goal-oriented Capricorn, giving an extra level of intensity to our ambitions and desires to make a difference. Wherever Pluto is transiting through our charts reveals the area of life where we are releasing old, outworn methods and opening to greater empowerment -- perhaps in how we communicate (3rd house), in our actual career or vocation (10th house), or through our use of our time and other personal resources (2nd house).   Jupiter, called "the greater benefic" because the effect of this largest planet in our solar system is amplification -- which can be a positive or a negative, depending on what is being magnfied! Jupiter is in emotion-centered, security-oriented Cancer, amplifying our needs for family and home, and also magnifying our feelings of sensitivity and vulnerability. As Jupiter transits our charts, we may be putting on an extra layer of protection/weight (1st house), feeling a higher level of inspiration and creativity (5th house), or wanting to spend lots of time with friends and our greater community (11th house).   Mars, the activator, the planet that often acts as a triggering device for the influence inherent in any configuration. Mars carries the energies of initiation, assertiveness, and pro-activity. However, Mars is currently retrograde (going backward) in conciliatory Libra, which throws most of our typical interpretations of the planet's effects out the window -- or at least restrains them somewhat. Instead of prodding us to act impulsively on our deeper desires and needs, retrograde Mars in Libra is requiring that we first find a new level of internal balance and cooperation between the different aspects of our beings. With Mars transiting our 12th house, we may find that balance through meditation and dreamwork; in the 8th house, through shamanic journeys and psychotherapies; or in the 9th house, through seeking the wisdom and intuitive knowing of our higher selves.   THE TENSION of a grand cross configuration comes from the differences between the signs involved: Aries is a fire sign, motivated primarily by the need to assert and know Itself. Opposite Aries is Libra, an air sign motivated by the need to create relationship and harmony. Squaring (90 degrees away from) those two signs is Cancer, a water sign motivated by the urge to protect and care for. Opposite Cancer is the earth sign Capricorn, motivated by the need to achieve tangible success. The different elements associated with each sign tell us a bit more about each one and how it moves through life. In general, fire signs such as Aries act from inspiration; air signs such as Libra act after mental deliberation; water signs such as Cancer act based on emotional responses; and earth signs such as Capricorn act based on what makes the most practical sense.   THIS IS WHY I feel the most successful navigation of this week's grand cross will come through staying in balance. Clearly, none of these signs is "the bad guy" that we need to stay away from. Each has its gifts, and its own way of perceiving what is most important.   The problems come when we get out of balance, which usually means we also start drawing on the negative qualities associated with each sign. When Aries is out of balance, we are aggressive or angry. When Libra is out of balance, we are indecisive, people-pleasing, or  passive-aggressive. When Cancer is out of balance, we are defensive, shy, or smothering. When Capricorn is out of balance, we ignore the emotional needs of ourselves and others, focusing only on the end goal -- "the ends justify the means."    DURING this grand cross week, as we look around us, and especially within us, we are likely to find both the positive and the negative expressions of each of these signs manifesting. If -- or perhaps when -- we do, we can check in with our own energy systems and see where we are out of balance, and which planet/sign pair is needing attention. If we are angry and restless (Uranus in Aries): Where are we negating our needs and desires? Where are we living by "shoulds" rather than according to the truth of our beings? And, what physical activity can we engage in, to help move the anger out of our bodies? If we are resentful and caught in power struggles (Pluto in Capricorn): What attitudes are we holding that keep us in situations where we are "less than?" What internal strengths do we need to claim and fully own, that are the opposite of what we are exhibiting when we get caught up in those power struggles? And, how can we release the patterns that keep us powerless, and find new ways to accomplish our goals? If we are defensive or feeling fearful and unsafe (Jupiter in Cancer): How can we truly nurture ourselves and attend to the needs of our fearful inner child, without falling prey to the fear itself? How can we open our hearts in situations when we feel compelled to close them? And, what is needed to reinforce the core of faith and hope within us, so that we know that we really are safe? If we are anxious about telling others what we want, or find ourselves acting in passive-aggressive ways (Mars in Libra): How often do we say "yes" when our gut is saying "no?" Are there ways in which our relationships with others are built on a false harmony, rather than on honest sharing? How can we deepen our relationship with ourselves -- the self that is actually our Most Significant Other -- so that we have the courage and self-worth to be authentically ourselves in all areas of our lives? AS WE look at each of these planet/sign pairs in turn, and realize that all four of them are knocking on our door at the same time, it's clear why this is such a powerful time. Imagine that the table where these four are sitting is actually the dining table in our house, and we've invited them in for a meal. And now -- NOW -- we must find ways to engage them, to bring out their most positive traits.   Ultimately, we want to integrate into ourselves the positive qualities that these four planets represent -- liberation, empowerment, optimism, and courage. And we want to create our lives so that we partake of equal amounts of what the signs represent -- self-interest and independence balanced with cooperative relationship, and a healthy inner emotional life balanced with productivity and achievements in the outer world.    Next week -- Solar Eclipse! The ride continues.   Blessings,   Pam   NorthPoint Astrology Blog: To read recent blog posts, please visit http://northpointastrology.blogspot.com/. I look forward to your comments!
