How does Mercury affect your personality?

How does Mercury affect your personality?

Many of us know our astrological Sun signs. But have you ever wondered what makes people with the same Sun sign seem so different? Say for example, why is one Leo so completely different from another Leo? How can they have the same sun sign when they seem like they are totally opposite signs?

Not all Leos are created alike, for good reason. Each of us is a composite of every planet in the galaxy. From the Sun all the way out to Pluto, each planet plays a role in our lives.

At the moment of our birth, every planet is located in a particular sign and house, one of 12 slices of heaven. These elements form your natal birth chart, the blueprint for your life. So any two Leos born in the same year, between July 22-August 21, will have planets in different signs and houses. Even twins born minutes apart are unique. Every single one of us is truly our own individual person.

The New Moon

Each New Moon is a chance to begin again. Each month, every 28 days, we are given a fresh cycle to begin anew. Twelve, sometimes 13 times a year, a New Moon occurs. These initiate larger cycles within the context of our lives. How can we optimize this fresh start, this NEW MOON energy?

Rising Sign: What is its significance in our Natal Chart?

What exactly is a Rising Sign (also known as the Ascendant) and why would it garner so much attention as to be mentioned in the same phrase as a Sun sign?  And, what significance does it have on your life? Because it is the literal starting point of our entire chart.  It is the eastern-most point on our chart at the moment of our birth.  Thus the Rising Sign determines where every single planet falls in our chart…

What's my Moon Sign... and what does it say about me?

What's my Moon Sign... and what does it say about me?

What’s my moon sign and what does it say about me? Many of us are familiar with our Sun sign. We will occasionally read our horoscope in newspapers, magazines or online. However, there is much more to our own personal horoscope. Each planet, from the Moon to Pluto, is in a particular sign and house at the moment of our birth. Together, these comprise our astrological chart. The Moon is our emotional interior, our feelings, how we interpret and digest stimulus on the deepest level.  Only when we are very, very at ease, do we show our Moon and relate to others with it.

This greatly aids our push forward with whatever we hope to accomplish. Use this uncomplicated energy to your best advantage, especially as March will not be as smooth.

January Astrological Forecast: Boom, Boom, BANG

January Astrological Forecast: Boom, Boom, BANG

I think it is safe to say many if not most of us are glad to bid farewell to 2018. If you weren’t challenged personally this year with a crisis or pivotal life event or crossroads, then you were stuck and mired when trying to move forward. It is safe to say we were bombarded by cosmic activity this past year. The outlook for 2019 certainly appears smoother, with far less planetary gear shifts. HOORAY! So we will feel fewer bumps in our path as we progress. That said, our feet will be held to the truth during 2019 and honesty, ethical dealing and gratitude are the keys to success…January provides the solid building blocks to create from the ground what we desire: joy, happiness, love.

November Astrological Forecast: Practicing Faith Over Fear

November Astrological Forecast: Practicing Faith Over Fear

November is rarely an easy month. We are full-on in the calendar year-end, with school and work functioning at its peak and gearing up for the holidays. As the Sun (our will) moved into Scorpio during the final week of October, we all certainly felt the Scorpion’s sting reverberating through every level of our lives. The intensity continues for the next four weeks, and November may very well outdo October…

The Missing Element

The Missing Element

You may know your astrology sign but do you know its element? No worries.  Most people don’t. We are so much more than our Sun sign. Each of us is a composite of ALL the planets at the moment of our birth. And each of these planets, like our Sun, is in a particular sign which is influenced by a particular element. The missing element in our astrological chart is one of the biggest clues to our behavior. Knowing this is equally important as understanding a dominance of planets in a particular element.
