Moving Right Along, Here…

Retrograde Mercury in Taurus. Retrograde Saturn opposing Uranus, again. Tuesday’s Full Moon in intense Scorpio, revealing mysteries and answers. It’s not really so bad, but we really don’t like to be reminded of personal failures or have the feeling that critical information has come too late to do any good. Do we have the blah’s?

We are heading into the most intense time of the year now, and the accelerator is pressed once again as the planets prepare to swing into an incredible aspect that will parallel the 1960’s. You older ones will be happy to see some influences of the 60’s return!

In the islands, isolation helps since you’re not in the middle of the battlefield on a big scale, but many people are feeling the stressful relations between the planets now. Nothing much can be done about it except to just get on with life. This is making us all tired and cranky, so maybe we all should just take a nap for a while.

Aries (March 21- April 19): Tuesday’s Full Moon in your sector of intimacy/shared assets packs a wallop! Definitely bad hair day material this week. Fortunately, the weather looks to be good, so the sun will help, around midweek. Your Ruler Mars in your sector of creative expression/thinking is really giving you the boost that you need. Still, more things will go wrong than normal but consider the source and know that a little retail therapy for eye candy is a good thing.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Your Ruler Venus leaves your sign and moves into your sector of money; this will put you to the books to come up with ideas and inspiration for new methods of making or saving money. You’re not an extravagant person by nature, but you do demand quality. The Full Moon in your sector of relationships heightens the chance for a romantic interlude this weekend.

Gemini (May 21- June 20): Powerful, esteem-ruling Venus enters your sign now, and this bolsters your ego and confidence. If you were born late in your sign (from mid-June on), the Saturn/Uranus opposition in your sectors of Home/Work, respectively, are making waves in your life. There are elements of help though, especially Tuesday’s Full Moon in your sector of health. This time of the year you can feel the sap rising and you’re ready to have some adventures.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): You may be extra sensitive now with Tuesday’s Full Moon in your sector of creative expression; this will heighten your intuition but don’t let it make you suspicious! Mercury retrograde in your sector of goals/friendships is messing things up with you trying to coordinate things. This can be maddening so be sure you’re not trying to herd cats. With so many forces compelling us to make decisions we really don’t want to have to make, you would be wise to reflect, map out the course of how things got from there to here, and make your decision based on history.

Leo (July 23 – August 22): Mars in your sign is giving you the energy you need to deal with all the retrogrades going on, and you might be feeling pretty crabby and like you are really wasting energy. Emotions will drain you faster than anything, so try to put yourself on auto-pilot for the next couple of weeks and just get ‘er done. Put off getting your hair done, though. You won’t like the results and a messy mane really makes you mad! The Full Moon in your sector of Home makes you want to concoct magical potions in your den to put the world right. Give it a go!

Virgo (August 23 – September 21): If you were born late in your sign (mid-Sept onward), you are no doubt feeling Saturn’s return to your sign and its opposition to Uranus. Couple this with Mercury retrograde in your companion Earth sign Taurus and you may be entertaining very dark thoughts right now. Esteem-building Venus has sailed into your sector of career, so look for good news and networking on that front. You are excused from cleaning out your chaos room for now.

Libra (September 22 – October 23): You may have an ill family member, or something else that indicated a pending loss, such as a pet. If this is a sad period for you, let yourself embrace those feelings but stay busy. Don’t try and analyze yourself out of feeling something because it’s counterproductive and comes back to bite you in the behind later. The really good news is that your Ruler Venus has sailed into your companion air sign Gemini, making you much more flexible now and able to bend with the wind. Bring more music into your life now.

Scorpio (October 24- November 22): This is your Full Moon on Tuesday, so be sure to celebrate it since it’s kind of birthday, you only get this once a year! Esteem Building Venus has moved into your sector of intimacy/shared assets, so you may be communicating with someone close about a future investment or plans to redo something. Just don’t start until the retrograde Mercury is done, to avoid headaches now and two years down the road.

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 20): If you’ve been hit with the blues, don’t worry too much. Saturn backing into another opposition with Uranus in your sectors of career/home, respectively, may be isolating you in some way. You do like to have company to do things with but if no one is available, read something uplifting or restart an old hobby. The Mercury retrograde is under full steam now in your sector of intimacy and esteem building Venus has entered your sector of relationships. You have plenty to keep you busy now! Finish off an issue on Tuesday night, with the Full Moon in your sector of Endings.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 20): This retrograde may have had you very cranky, with weird things happening and things that jerk your chain. Don’t let the dumb stuff get you in a bad mood. Venus, ruler of self-esteem, had moved into your sector of work/health, so a health regime would be good for you to start if you haven’t already! Tuesday’s Full Moon in your sector of Friends/Goals brings someone from the past into full view, most likely a female. Look for news from afar.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 20): With Mercury backing up in your sector of Home, you may be full on frustrated right now and unable to focus on anything for too long in terms of what needs to be done in and around the house. The Full Moon on Tuesday beckons you to do something about your community or work place, so that is where your attention is. Still, you may be very snarky right now due to the planets being kind of out of harmony with each other. Try to not scare the humans.

Pisces (February 21 – March 20): Tuesday’s Full Moon in your sector of career sets off a new venture for you, and you gain insights regarding what you need to focus on in the work front. With Saturn now fully in opposition to Uranus in your sign, you Fishies born from mid-March through the end of your sign may be taking a beating as you are made to look back over the last year and a half to find out what derailed you. The good thing is, it’s a time of discovery and esteem-building Venus in your sector of Home will give you the breathing space to take the reins.
