April 1st, 2022: Aries New Moon

Image
Painting by Fernando Yáñez de la Almedina: Wikimedia Commons The Aries New Moon (11 deg) happens at 2:24 am EDT. It conjoins Mercury and Chiron at 9 and 12 deg respectively.  The is the courageous start that involves bluntly putting the wound (Chiron) into words (Mercury). You're starting off in an uncomfortable place - maybe you feel weak or exposed. Maybe you're being pushed forward and it feels too quick. Or, perhaps you're doing the pushing.  In some way a sore spot is right there and it needs to be openly discussed. The bold new chapter gets its fuel from the pain. It's time to say the words that no one wants to hear - just get them out there. When you're dealing with the wound right out of the gate, what else is there to fear? Nothing. This could be the moment you decide to tackle the thing you've been avoiding by giving it a name. Or, you receive the painful message but you know what? It's a relief because you step into the pain, your eyes are

March 31st, 2022: Pisces To Aries Moon

Image
Pisces Moon sextile Pluto in Capricorn (28 deg) Moon Void of Course in Pisces (2:36 am EDT) Moon enters Aries (5:30 am EDT) Moon conjunct Mercury (9 deg) The Pisces Moon in harmony with Pluto can amplify a dream. Creativity, sensitivity, transcendence or healing vibes are empowered if you focus on taking things a bit deeper. This means pushing past the surface or getting serious about a vague vision. Here's the potential for practical magic that's effective because you're blending the "impossible" with an intensified commitment to physical reality.  This is the last aspect before the Moon goes Void of Course. The VOC Moon is not a good time to start something, so for a few hours you can purge what's been holding you back or follow the thread and see where it takes you rather than launching something brand new. But once the Moon enters Aries and conjoins Mercury, you're ready for something fresh. There will be an energetic shift as passion

What applying/separating means? And parallels/contra-parallels?

I'd like to have a discussion about it, as I think it makes me understand in a depeer way than just googling. I used astro-seek, whole signs. I have many separating/applying aspects. Does separating means that they're no longer 'useful' or should not be taken into consideration when reading a chart? I've read parallels and contra could be read as conjunction/opposition, but then why would we need these different terms anyways? Also, side note: where can I read aspects for Chiron? I have so many but astro-seek doesn't give their little blurbs for these like they do for the most of the chart.

Typology of law (Jupiter/Saturn) in astrology

March 28th, 2022: Venus Conjunct Saturn

Image
Venus in Aquarius conjunct Juno and Saturn (21 deg) Neptune in Pisces trine the Scorpio South Node (23 deg) Venus with Juno/Saturn can mean a solid relationship commitment that involves a formal agreement. Aquarius suggests there's something a bit unusual about this, or the relationship is connected to the collective/social currents. The vibe is cool-this feels like a union where independence is strong and may be one of the binding factors.  This could be platonic or romantic. Boundaries are essential - this is not about merging so much as two, free entities agreeing to join forces.  Alternatively, you could be confronted by social responsibilities and rules around what you want. Before you can go any further, you must sign the contract or agree to the rules.  Neptune trine the South Node can make the path to the past quite slippery. It will feel effortless as you slide back into deep nostalgia, old addictions/obsessions or power issues. But Neptune also enables releas

Mercury and speech patterns

What is your mercury sign/house/degree and what is your speech pattern? Is it rather slow or do you just 0-100? As far as I've seen, people that are more saturn ruled/Capricorn take quite a more frequent pauses to formulate their sentences, speak a tad bit slower-normal and have a bit lower voice in comparison to lets say leos/libras. If anyone's made any other interesting observations I'd LOVE to hear them (: submitted by /u/Intelligent_Team_299 [link] [comments] from Astrology https://ift.tt/6gIUphW via IFTTT

March 25th, 2022: Last Quarter Capricorn Moon

Capricorn Moon square the Aries Sun (4 deg) The Last Quarter Square raises questions regarding what you've started or what passions you're pursuing. More discipline is needed or there are some rules you must abide by. Perhaps the questions come from someone in authority. Or, perhaps you're challenged to exercise authority over something that's raw and untamed.  This is also tension between maturity (Capricorn) and the new born (Aries). Consider how these dynamics are playing out and where you need to strengthen boundaries, accept responsibility or deal with the rules. Something needs more control but questions about the manner in which authority is exercised are important.  At this point you may encounter a block regarding a new project or recent surge of enthusiasm. This does not mean give up. It does encourage you to pause and consider where your focus needs to be applied. What does it mean when Transiting Black Moon Lilith crosses your Ascendant? Question as

Painting by Thomas Cooper Gotch: Wikimedia Commons The Sun enters Aries on March 20th at 11:33 am EDT. This is the Spring Equinox - the hours of daylight and darkness are equal, with the balance tipping towards longer days as we move forward.  "Forward" is the key word- Aries is about initiative, action and courage. This is the season to start fresh. Tune into that sense of restlessness - follow your instincts without analyzing every move. Raw passion is essential for activating certain scenarios and gaining momentum that carries you through. The newborn has to be aggressive if it wants to survive. This can also be a celebration- in the eternal dance of life and death, we're at the point of new life.  If there was ever a time to start something, this is it. Plant seeds. Spark something. Follow an impulse. There are no guarantees that everything will stick but if you don't start, nothing will stick. Working with astrological influences means taking advantage of

It's the 2022 Spring Equinox - What's Coming in April, May, and June

The Sun is now entering Aries, promising renewal of energy and activity, even as we find opportunity and protection in bringing other things to their natural end. Here we celebrate that it’s also the Autumnal Equinox down under!! The Northern Hemisphere Vernal Equinox and Southern Hemisphere Autumnal Equinox occurs 8:33 am PDT, 3:33 pm GMT on March 20. It is said that a chart done for this point in time offers a snapshot of the cosmic and literal weather for the next 3 months. There is an old tradition that offers us two times when "the year begins," one at the Vernal Equinox, the other at the Autumnal. Perhaps that tradition came from explorers who saw the seasons flip between the Northern and Southern, going from the beginning of warm to the beginning of cold as they moved up and down the lati
