"It Is In The Stars",

by Valerie Greene

Are you ready? The planet Mercury goes retrograde again!

Hope you have made all your holiday decisions by now?

Because tomorrow morning, Dec.19, 2016 at 5:55 AM, EST, the planet that rules communication, travel and our thoughts, (including the daily decisions we make) changes its direction, snarling your day! That can stay with you leading to confusion for the next 3 weeks? Mercury will go direct on Jan. 8, 2017 at 4:42 AM EST.

Also, on DEC. 19 early morning, the planet that rules our energy and passion will be impacted. As Mars enters the intuitive sensitive water sign of Pisces! That can bring changes in your general direction, that is connected to where you direct our passions. The planet Mars will be in Pisces, until Jan 27, 2017.

The Water, and Earth signs, of Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio,) (Water) Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn, (Earth) will be effected, by the help of a Pisces Mars the most! Bringing more momentum into their daily lives, with a new found energy, directed towards their most sought after desires, and more purposeful general daily energy. Nice!

The Fire signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius will find the impact of a slower daily pace, from our new placement of Mars in Pisces.

And the Air signs of Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra, should expect some frustration. With now feeling a bit stalled from newly found challenges, that keep them feeling held back! Patience!

Your momentum will pick up after Jan. 27, 2017!

"It Is In The Stars "

By Valerie Greene

Feeling held back with your emotions and your natural optimism at a big private, inner low?

Well, I have good news! What a difference a day can make!

Tomorrow Oct. 18, 2016, at 3:01 AM the planet that rules the nicer things in life, "Venus"... enters into the optimistic lucky sign of Sagittarius. And will be with us until DEC. 7, 2016.

This New Sagittarius Venus is so completely different in style and influence than what we have been dealing with the last 24 days with Venus in deep, sensitive, secretive, unyielding, water sign, Scorpio!

So all signs should feel a new sublet lift from the Fire element, of Sagittarius... making life feel more out going and fun! With more attention towards inspiration, helping us to see more of our blessings, instead of all our aggravations and disappointments!

Now that is good news!

"It's In the Stars", by Valerie Greene

Wow... As the planet Mercury begins its normal forward direction, on Sept. 22, 2016 at 1:30 AM, EDT. It looks like the planets will have us on a bit of a roller coaster ride for the next few days!

You see the Sun, just entering Libra, is also happening on Sept 22, at 10:21 AM, EDT!

Giving us our first official day of fall, called "Autumnal Equinox"! Those two very important happenings, set cycles that will be with us for awhile. And would be enough to shake things up a bit.

But the very next day, on Sept 23, at 10:51 AM EDT the planet of love, that also rules our finances, Venus, will begin its yearly trek in the sign of Scorpio!

Then just three days latter, on Sept 26, the heavy disruptive planet Pluto, will go direct again, at 11:02 AM EDT after back tracking since April 13, 2016.

Adding more change to this Astrological brew! The slower moving planet of energy and passion, Mars, will enter the sober sign Capricorn the next day, on Sept 27, at 4:07 AM.EDT!

Oh my! I know you must be thinking? what does all this mean to me? How to cope? And what to watch out for?

First off, remember that when the planet Mercury first changes direction, going direct or retrograding it is the most disruptive. So use extra patience when dealing with communication, or traveling! And if you can, do not make any important decisions or signing of important papers...

Second: The season of Fall begins....with a Gemini moon, also giving another tie to communication glitches. Guard against getting pulled into arguments! True for all signs to be careful of, but most significant to the

signs of Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Virgo to keep in mind.

Third: Venus newly into Scorpio? Begins with a harmonist trine to the moon that day! Helping the water signs to have new romantic and financial opportunities, until Oct. 17, They are the signs of Scorpio, Cancer, and Pisces.

Fourth! Pluto direct...brings things to the surface at last that have been brewing and on hold! The first few days of Pluto moving forward, will be news worthy for sure! With a few surprises?

Lastly...the fifth Astro change in 6 days....

The planet Mars changing signs into Capricorn?

Not easy time to avoid arguments and accidents for the first few days of its cycle.

Slow down and think! Mars in cool Capricorn will tangle with the Sun in peace loving Libra! Leading to bruised egos and fool hardy behavior that can bring violence. keep safety in mind, do not get baited into arguments.

True for all sun signs but most important for the signs of Aries, Libra, and Cancer to remember!

Yes, an Astrological roller coaster few days! But for warned is for armed! Now you will have a heads up, to make it an easy ride after all!

Happy safe Autumn, everyone!

"It is in the Stars", by Valerie Greene

Feeling a bit aggravated as you find yourself doing many do overs?

Yes, it is in the Stars! As the planet Mercury today, Aug. 30, 2016, went retrograde again, at 9:04 a.m. EDT.

This cycle that happens about three times a year, can be trying?

It gives us those do overs, because Mercury, rules our thoughts, including the decisions that come from them. And all our working, and the running of our machinery!

Like the family car? Or those important appliances that have been showing signs of wear? Therefore, when Mercury retrogrades it brings those areas of life that are breaking down, or past mistakes to our immediate attention!

Like it or not, Mercury in retrograde has its value.

Even though it does cause a lot of confusion, changing of your mind, and aggravating mistakes with any kind of communicating? Yes, effecting your day and your important work life!

Mercury will be in retrograde until it gets backs to its normal direction on Sept 22, at 1:30 AM. And then continue its Virgo influence until Mercury will enter, Libra, on Oct 7, 2016, at 3:55 AM.

However, its influence is always the most intense the first few days as it changes signs, or goes back to its normal direction.

And that would be Today, through Friday, Sept 2, 2016... and again as Mercury goes direct again, Sept 22..thru Sept 25.

How to cope? Guard your decisions. Try not to make any important ones, at this time! And avoid making any plans that must happen, because Mercury in retrograde changes many things, including your mind!

Now about the good of a Mercury in retrograde?

As I said before, it help us to at last take care of those issues that need our attention.

And it also helps us to go back in time to rethink old ideas. Including the nice effect of reconnecting to old friends!

Which can seem to come out of the blue? Like running into an old friend? Or a sudden desire to connect to an old friend, to clear up any hurt feeling? And then the nice effect renewing old friendships? Or love ties?

So yes, we are in for a three week period of rethinking and confusion when trying to make our daily plans?

But on the plus side, a three week cycle of the chance to put back together, what was lost, or not handled properly, from our past! Nice! Try to Make it work for you!

It Is In The Stars

by, Valerie Greene

Feeling a bit edgy lately? There is a reason! Yes it is in the Stars! All starting today!

Firstly, as I write this, July 29, 2016, the planet that rules innovation, and freedom Uranus, has come to a stand still as it prepares to retrograde, tonight at 5:06 PM EDT.

And because that is the Star of the unexpected, it is likely to bring some frayed nerves, and unexpected disturbances, giving you that edgy feeling! Along with unsettled annoyances, into your day and evening? No matter what your sign.

Also the planet of communication Mercury is completing its yearly stay in Leo today...Setting a new trend in the way we receive our thoughts and how we share them. Giving us a more practical thought approach when Mercury enters Virgo, tomorrow, July 30, 2016, at 2:18 PM EDT

All signs will start to be more thoughtful when getting their thoughts and plans across to others. Effecting us from the practical earth Virgo influence, from July 30, until Oct. 7, 2016.

That is a longer than usual stay for the planet Mercury to be in its on sign of Virgo! Why? Because Mercury will again turn retrograde, on Aug. 30, 2016 at 9:04 AM. until it get backs to its normal direction on Sept 22, at 1:30 AM. And then continue its Virgo influence until Mercury will enter Libra, on Oct 7, 2016, at 3:55 AM.

Wow, you can see and feel change in the Astrological brew!

But there is more, coming soon, too!

On Aug. 2, at 1:49 PM our planet of energy and passion Mars, will enter the fire sign of Sagittarius! Which will change how we use and direct our passions! Mars stays in Sagittarius until Nov. 9, 2016, at 12:51 AM, when Mars, then will enter the Liberating sign of Aquarius!

Interesting that it will be in that sign, of independence... for the tallying and completion of our political race for a new president of our beloved united States?

Also, on Aug. 2, 2016 at 4:44 PM, EDT we will have the benefit of a new Leo, moon. That is the time each month when we set in motion patters that will increase through the whole month

So try to stay as flexible as possible, and use your more detailed self to prepare for a busy fruitful Aug. and Sept.

Particularly if yours is a earth or water sign? Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus? Earth! Or Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio? Water! Think long term towards expansion to what you want to improve and gain from all month.

Yes, I would say we are in for a pretty significant astrological few days!

Try to work hard, at making them good ones!

It Is In The Stars

By astrologer, Valerie Greene

Changes in sign for the planets Venus, and Mercury, can heat things up making an impact on the rest of your summer!

Yes! The Planet of love Venus will change signs into the sign of Leo, July 12, 2016 at 1:34 a.m. EDT.

And the planet of communication, Mercury, also entering the sign of Leo, on July 13, 2016 at 8:47 p.m.

Leo, is a fixed Fire sign! So when planets move into it, the effect can stir up activity that is more assertive, active, and fiery!

Especially igniting all fire signs, Leo, Aries, Sagittarius... but also uplifting the air signs, Aquarius, Gemini, Libra.

However, all signs will notice a tendency for more prideful activity in our daily lives! Nice!

Leo is a summer sign and it denotes, sunshine, leadership, and a desire to control!

Therefore, don't be surprised if you now want to suddenly climb out of your shell no matter what your sign!

This new trend can also complicate your life? Venus, and Mercury with us, in Leo, through July... can now, make you more stubborn! Bringing troubles that are tied to your ego?

So guard your foolish pride when trying to control all those you love, your $, and how you communicate in those areas!

This warning is particular important for the signs of Taurus, and Scorpio, to keep in mind!

But all signs will benefit more from this more fiery trend, if they can tread carefully, without Ego!

Adding more Fire, into the mix will happen, July 22,! As the Sun takes up its yearly stay in Leo, at 5:30 a.m. EDT

Another influence to make us want to be more active that will be with us until Aug. 21.

Quite a change from all those water signs that have been active in our daily lives that last 3 weeks! Which have been giving us more home, involvement, and feeling extra sensitive!

Add the fact that the plant Mars, that rules passions in Scorpio, has been with us off and on, since the first of our new year!

A stay for Mars, much longer than usual! Bringing, what we have seen... as many disturbing events, created by passions!

Igniting, many evil passions that were most unfortunate and disturbing! Including around our police force!

The good news is... that trend of the use of negative anger with such evil passion, will end when Mars changes signs and enters Sagittarius on Aug. 2, 2016 ! A big relief!

2016-05-20T21:22:00.002-04:00

"It Is In The Stars" By Valerie Greene

Good News!

Yes it is True! The planet Mercury, will once again be back in its normal forward motion very soon. In fact, on Sunday, May 22, 2016 at 9:19 a.m. EDT.

Just keep in mind in order to be into completely new forward motion in your life we need to have the planet Mercury, move past the degree it first changed direction in. And that will not happen until June 8, 2016

In the mean, there are two other significant aspects that will have their effect on us! And the fist one Happened today! Yes, Friday May 20, 2016 at 10: 36 A.M. the Sun entered the Air sign of Gemini!

Happy Birthday Gemini! Yours is the sign of late spring! A time of year that increases our desire to communicate and be out and about. That will be with us until the first day of Summer, which begins, June 20, at 6:34 P.M. when the Sun will enter, the sign of Cancer!

The second aspect that we will be shedding its influence on us, is a Full Sagittarius moon! Happening tomorrow early evening, Saturday, May 21, 2016, at 5:14 P.M.

This Full moon ruled by Jupiter, can tend to make you overdo! Guard against unnecessary extravagant's and carelessness that could cause a fire!

All signs should be careful of overindulgence on Saturday eve! But that is partially good advice for the signs of, Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces !

2016-04-27T11:25:00.001-04:00

It Is In The Stars! By Valerie Greene

Are you ready? Soon it will be, what I call "double trouble time", again!

Yes, the planet Mercury is slowing down getting ready to go retrograde! When will it start this backward track again?

April 28, 2016 at 1:20 p.m. EDT

Does the planet Mercury's motion in space really go backwards? No! But to our earth's view, of Mercury's motion it does! Effecting our earth communications! All forms of travel. Moving machine parts. And our common thought process.(Thinking) Bringing those areas of our life, into a challenging focus, with Mercury retrograde about three times a year?

Why does this happen? What would be the positive of Mercury being retrograde? And why do I call it, "the time of double trouble"?

My belief is, that it purpose being retrograde three times in a year, is to help us go back in areas of our life that we have left unfinished. That is why appliances that have been neglected or not repaired correctly will fail during retrograde. Along with why the poorly made communications and decisions will come back to hunt us. And also why many old friendship can seem to come out of the blue and be restored. All of that though somewhat aggravating, it gives us a chance to set things straight!

On the negative double trouble? I call it that, because where Mercury rules our thoughts and how we communicate them! As it changes direction from our earth's view. It seems to make us more absent minded, confused, with bad judgment, clogging up our highways, both on the roads and with our daily work, and business. Which makes for many do overs! Including why you may feel that you suddenly need to give everything involving communication, or travel plans, a second try? And even small decisions, doing them over, and over again?

So yes, it can be a trying aggravating about three week span? With some nice surprises thrown in.

However, the most important advice that I can give you, from April 28, to May, 21, would be to put off any major decisions if you can? Because planet Mercury retrograde, is very likely going to mess things up enough, that you will indeed, need to change your mind!

Then, Yay, on May 22, 2016, at 9:19 a.m. Mercury will again start its normal forward motion.

But keep in mind it takes a few days for its new direction to settle us all down to our own normal pace. And not into a complete forward new direction for us all... until June, 7, 2016. So be patient!

And in the mean time, try to use this time to go back in areas of your life that was left unfinished, making the most of what Mercury in retrograde has to offer!

That is true for all sun signs, bust most importantly for the sign of Taurus!

As Mercury has been in Taurus, and then being retrograde in that sign, will have a longer stay, than usual! Effecting, that sign in a greater way, from April, 6 through June 12.

If your sign is Taurus, try to Enjoy, and make the most of it!

2016-04-05T22:57:00.003-04:00

It is the Stars, by Valerie Greene

Two important planetary changes are sure to liven up your spring!

Yes, April 5, 2016, the Planet Venus entered the Fire sign of Aries, at 12:50 p.m. EDT And at 7:09 PM EDT also on April 5, 2016, the Planet Mercury, entered the Earth sign, Taurus!

What that can mean, to you, is how Venus now in Aries, that rules your love life & money, and Mercury, now in Taurus, that rules your thoughts, and communication, get along with your Sun sign?

This new placement for Venus, will give the Fire signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, the most momentum, gaining help around their finances, and emotional life! With the Air signs too, having more opportunity and ease, in the area of the pleasures that we enjoy, and desire in life! They are the signs of, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.

And those who were born in the Earth signs, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, will gain, in all those communication needs! Including being more active with their day to day activities!

Mercury in Taurus now is also good news, for those born under Water signs! Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio, can at last see progress in long sought after goals, as a favorable earth Mercury can bring real concrete progress in getting those annoying communication details attended to.

However, Aquarius, and Leo...would be wise to take their time with all matters of communications ...being aware that a Taurus Mercury can bring, out your stubborn side! Slow down and think before you make promises that you cannot keep!

And the signs of Capricorn, and Cancer, need to be extra careful around their emotions...Venus now in Aries will test you, around your most important relationships, and your financial decisions.

Yes these planets will liven up our spring...with Venus being in Aries until April 29. And Mercury, will be in the sign of Taurus until June 12!

Heads up everybody...look for change! Make it Good ones! A new moon sets your trends, April 7, 2016 at 7:24 AM !

And Mars, the Planet of energy, newly entered the sign of

Sagittarius, also on March 5, that evening, at 9:29 PM EST.

Pisces, is a sensitive, intuitive, water sign. Now with that Mercury influence, we are likely to be much more inward in our thoughts! Making us all a little more introspective, along with increasing our imagination and desire to help the underdog!

Water, and Earth signs, will be being given the biggest boost from this new, Pisces, Mercury!

They are: The signs of, Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio.(water)

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. (earth)

However, those born under Gemini, Sagittarius, are the signs that now may suddenly require a little more patience and alone time?

It will be the signs, Libra, Aries, Aquarius, and Leo, that will be helped the most, by the extra push of our new fire energy!

That is now due, to the Planet Mars, newly into the optimistic, lucky, Fire sign, Sagittarius!

Another full moon is reigning over our Monday, and start to our work week.

by Astrologer Valerie Greene

Yes, at 1:20 PM EST on Monday Feb. 22, 2016, the moon is at its fullest, again!

But this time in Virgo, pulling on the Sun, that has just recently entered the sensitive water sign of Pisces!

How that might effect your day, is determined by your own sun sign, and how good you are at keeping your emotions under control?

Most everyone has experienced or notice that emotion is a little more intense whenever the moon is full?

Hospitals, and police record show an increase for accidents and strange behavior! And yes, it is true that some Full Moons seem to have a greater impact on us then others?

As you know...the coming in and going out of our Ocean tide is controlled by the moon. That shows us how great the magnetic pull of the moon is on water? And Even greater when the moon is at its fullest!

And knowing that the human body is on average, of an adult human being, 60% water, and more like, 75%, for an infant?

Doesn't it make sense that the water in our bodies would also have a magnetic pull on it, when the moon is full?

Especially, where most of the water in the human body is contained inside our cells. That is the very fiber of our being! Which would react on us internally, even though we do not notice any change.

Also, all our vital organs contain different amounts of water: the brain, the lungs, the heart, the liver and the kidneys contain a large quantity of water – between 65 to 85% depending on the organ..and yes while bones contain less water... (but still have a 31%!).

So, now with that in mind, what signs, will this full moon, be the ones most effected? You guessed it! The water signs! Starting with the first! Pisces...then Cancer, then Scorpio.

However this full moon is in the sign of Virgo! Putting it in the big pull brew, too! Because it takes the moon in opposition to the sun, to produce a full moon.

Therefore, Virgos need to be extra aware, that events on Monday, can get out of hand! Their warning is...slow down, guard temper, and your ego!

Also, the sign of Sagittarius, and Gemini, would be wise to heed that advice! Because a negative aspect from the sun and moon to your sign, could bring you an unyielding attitude on Monday, putting your position and jobs in jeopardy! Try diplomacy!

Aries, Libra, Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Capricorn,? You also need to practice extra Patience on Monday. Try to remember, those full moon aggravations will be out there, and for you, they are coming through others! Like it or not?

So slow down, count to ten, and be the peace maker!

And good for all sun signs to remember? Is... that the full moon's pull, does best for us in pulling at our need for partnership!

It is a time every month best spent with a sweetheart! So don't spend it alone!

Shine on full moon, Monday night! Lets all try to enjoy it!

2016-02-19T22:57:00.000-05:00

Happy Birthday to those born under the sign of Pisces!

by Valerie Greene

Today, Feb 19, 2016, at 12: 34 AM EST, the Sun entered your sign! Being the last sign of winter, it will be with us until the first day of spring! March 20, 12:30 AM

Pisces, is a sensitive water sign, ruled by the mysterious planet Neptune. Which will now shed its influence on all of us helping us to be more intuitive, and imaginative, in dealing with others. Especially impacting our work lives, for the next 30 days.

However, those born under the sign of Pisces, and the other water signs of Cancer, and Scorpio, can be helped the most, around their careers. Giving those signs a positive, 30 day cycle of time, that can gain them more recognition, and progress toward their important long term goals.

The earth signs too, Virgo, Taurus, and Capricorn will get a needed push towards being more productive. With new opportunities more possible than they have been, during this Pisces, cycle.

But those born under the signs Gemini, and Sagittarius, are just the opposite!

This cycle for them can slow things down. The next three to four weeks they need to be extra patient around their career...not letting a bad, or sad, mood destroy even small gains, that could get a big boost, in spring!

If you are a Leo, or an Aquarian, progress made from the last month is still there. Just don't spoil it by being overly sensitive, and fixed in your opinions.

And finally, if you are an Aries, or a Libra? Patience!

This is now a waiting in the background, time period! Yours for observing, and making those exciting fun plans that you will do in spring! Yes, a quiet slower cycle as you prepare for the blossoming that is just 30 days away. Spring! Your best time of year!

2016-02-17T17:20:00.001-05:00

But, they will experience those needed changes in a more up-hill struggling, to get them done, way!

However, all Sun signs can now benefit from both planets Venus, and Mercury, that are now in...in the very creative sign of Aquarius!

Helping us all... towards needed innovation in our daily lives... increasing our chances at becoming unstuck from those winter blahs! Enjoy!

Have you been feeling like Mercury is still in retrograde as you find yourself with many do overs? Even with the weather patten lately?

Well, I have good, news!

On Feb. 13, 2016, at 5:56 PM, Mercury, will at last be moving into Aquarius again, where it was last Jan. 6, 2016 when it first started going retrograde...

and that will at last put us all heading into a more direct forward motion too.

It is true, that Mercury went direct a few weeks ago, on Jan. 25, in the sign of Capricorn. But it needed to get back to where it began when it first changed direction into Aquarius... to lighten our thoughts, and help us all to now move towards smoothing out some of this past months aggravating happenings....bringing new ways of thinking! And into new territory.

Aquarius is an Air sign and acts on our minds in a much different way than earth serious Capricorn does...so Mercury now can be very helpful in giving the us desire to be breaking any boring routine that could have been holding us back this last month.

This will be especially true for the Air and fire signs...of Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius! As those signs need the Air to spark them into action!

However, the good news for all signs is... Mercury now in Aquarius ...brings with it... innovation and new trends that will lead us all into wanting to be more out going enthusiastic, and social! And at last stopping those annoying delays and do-overs!

To me? That is Good News!

Almost New moon time again!
But first we need to get past this weekend!
by Astrologer Valerie Greene
The Stars are in... A rare alignment of planets not seen for 10 years, has been with us since Jan 20, 2016, continues...but this time period now, it's effecting us with a direct Mercury!.Yes, the planet Mercury, that is recently out of retrograde, is still in the sign of Capricorn! Add the planet of love Venus...with the disruptive planet Pluto, that are now both in Capricorn too...and that is likely all by its self, to bring some emotional disruptions...because those three astral bodies in close degree called a conjunction, ignite and work off each other! In turn giving us the tendency to have lots of restrictions and even possible emotional or financial upheaval? However, making things even worse for this time period, is the fact, that the planet that rules, freedom, surprise, and out of the norm happenings, Uranus, is now in impatient Aries!Making a very negative aspect to that three way Capricorn conjunction! And in turn, intensifying all those negative, unexpected, restrictive, traits! Whew! What an astrological brew to deal with over this weekend that includes the Super Bowl! How to cope! First... be aware that a waning moon, also in Capricorn, all day on Saturday, Jan. 6, can put you into a bad mood! Adding that bad mood with that grouping of astral unexpected tendency's, and your mood can get out of hand! So easy does it in all your activities please! All day on Saturday!
Then Sunday Super Bowel day.. the early morning change of the moon, entering Aquarius makes us want to break from routine, again increasing impulsivity. That can bring sudden unexpected annoyances... and some Super Bowel surprises,Feb. 7, is also expected to be the best day for viewing our solar system's closest planet to the sun. Weather permitting? Just remember If you're struggling to find the planets, try locating the Moon first. All five planets will align along the same path that the moon travels through. But all in all...these astral happenings over the weekend are Preparing us for the New moon on Monday Feb 8, 2016, at 9:39 a.m. EST. Remember... that is the time period each month that we set a trend that will be with us for the next 30 days! So try extra hard to leave your weekend aggravations behind, and start your New Monday morning moon day, they way you want your whole next 4 week to go! Patience...and positive thinking is the key!

Full moon time again! Can you feel it?

Blame It in The Stars , by Astrologer Valerie Greene

Yes, at 8:46 PM EST, Jan. 23, 2016, the moon will be in exact opposition to the sun... which causes the full moon!

This one being in bold Leo... pulling on the desire for innovations and freedom sun, now in Aquarius!

This can give us an emotional ride! Which in turn... can lead you towards some emotional reassessments! Including those that may seem to be impulsive, causing the unexpected!

However, ones that can be transforming, and good for a more realistic future!

As I am sure you have noticed when the moon is full, people seem to be more emotional? However, some of them have a greater impact in our lives, than others. And yes, this Full moon's potential, can be that!

Many of us will experience this one, through out of the norm, weather! Making travel plans difficult, or... for just getting about in general, needing to change our previously desired social plans.

Others, that are not in a bad weather pattern are likely to deal with more personal issues... those that are likely to include our egos, and who we feel has the most control of our days activities, and lives?

Also, change of sign, for planet Venus, newly into Capricorn, along with our pending direct orb for the planet Mercury, that will go direct on Monday, Jan. 25, complicates the effect of this full moon phase. Why? Because as Mercury starts forward in motion it will be in conjunction to the Planet of change, and upheaval Pluto! All three planets in restrictive Capricorn, on Monday! That is why, your full moon effect could include aggravations that have a tie to Monday...that might bring unexpected emotional and financial change!

How to cope? Firstly slow down... give in to those intuitions that are telling you to hold your temper! Try to avoid others too who seem to want to pull you into their problems, and arguments!

Look for the long road ahead...not the instant now. Because Capricorn's ruler is serious Saturn, and that planet is the one that holds us to being conservative and cautious, for long term gain!

Most important be aware that the next few days will require more patience, and all those annoying delays have a necessary purpose!

Blame it on the Stars,

by Valerie Greene

Are you ready? The Sun's cycle again enters innovating Aquarius, on Jan. 20, 2016 at 10:27 A.M. EST.

So, Happy Birthday Aquarius! You will be celebrating your birthday sometime in the next 30 days!

But this change in position for the Sun brings in a new trend around everyone's Egos too!

The Sun is the area that connects us to how we see ourselves, and the position in life that we are recognized for.

The sign of Aquarius, is the most unique sign of all 12...in that it gives off a lofty do your own thing...live and let live attitude! Always wanting to rise above the norm... not afraid of being their own person, and having an independent style.

Now helping all signs this time of year, to want to express some of that extra desire to live and let live attitude as well. Nice!

Therefore, do not be surprised if your attitude in general is less involved with status and conformity. Helping our general moods towards finding new ways of doing things and how we react to our now, position in life? Whatever position you are now holding at this time?

Other Air signs, of Gemini, and Libra, especially will get an extra lift, now too from the Aquarius sun for the next 30 days.

Along with the Fire signs, that will tend, to be suddenly invigorated with more momentum in their lives also! They are the sign of, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.

The Earth, and Water, signs?

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces, Cancer,and Scorpio?

Yes, you too will want to break free from some of that rigid control that you have been experiencing lately.

However, the changes that will be presented to you this month, will be through those choices that you make... that will require extra effort from you! "If" they can be helpfully implanted into your life? You hold the key!

All helpful to know...that a new trend helps us all to want to kick up our heels a little, and look for the new!

Remember Aquarius is an Air sign. So lets all open the windows of our minds, and hearts, and take a New and uplifting Breath of Fresh Air, no matter what the weather? Think new...

An interesting look at this month's First Quarter moon !

A First Quarter of Dramatic Realizations and Creative Resolutions

Posted on January 16, 2016 in Configurations
By Henry Seltzer for Astrograph Astrology

Saturday's First Quarter Moon in late Aries has much to offer, as we arrive at a crucial moment in this January lunation cycle, in the very heart of this current Mercury Retrograde period. Regarding the latter, which has characterized January's Capricorn cycle, we have in these last few days come past the point of the Sun's conjunction with Mercury, one peak moment of the retrograde period, and we are now heading for another, in Mercury's January 25th station to direct motion. This will represent one further stage in our inward-leaning journey of meditative reflection on who we are and where we are truly headed; and to what end. As Mercury straightens out, eventually regaining the sign of Aquarius, by mid-February, we will be in a better position to move forward, with Mercury's January 25th station occurs in close conjunction with Pluto, at 15 Capricorn, which could prove to be quite significant as we further assess the massive transformation that we are all in the midst of. We are in a process now, as unnecessary aspects of our lives fall away, of seeing more deeply into changes in life direction; entirely appropriate to the season in which we find ourselves.

This is in part as a practical response to recent realizations, and to a time of sensing into an expanded vision, heading into the relatively unknown territory of another year on planet earth. At the moment of this weekend's somewhat difficult quarter Moon, we might also more clearly recognize the obstacles to what we are idealistically attempting. The Sun and Pluto are also separated now by about eleven degrees, therefore still in a wide conjunction, with Mercury traveling at a degree that is quite close to their mathematical midpoint. The timing of this interesting lunar phase is therefore very relevant to our exploration of where we are in our evolutionary journey, how far we have come and how far there still remains for us to go.

Kicked off by the quarter moon of a somewhat dicey weekend, this latter half of January also features the optimistic energy symbolized by Jupiter's expansive archetype. Jupiter is prominent in this configuration due to being in close conjunction with the lunar North Node, square Venus, inconjunct the Moon and Eris in conjunction, and in close trine to the Sun/ Mercury midpoint in Capricorn. This powerfully future-oriented presence indicates a strong determination to be carrying through, no matter what, with whatever in which we most deeply believe, and is therefore an important antidote to ever giving in, even when the going gets tough.

The Sabian symbols for this First Quarter Moon are encouraging. They are, for the Sun in the 27th degree of Capricorn, "A mountain pilgrimage;" Marc Edmund Jones refers to "unquestioned devotion to [the] worth-while task at hand," and calls this symbol an emblem of "intensification of every vision to which intelligence might aspire." For the Moon in the same degree of Aries, we find the mysterious and subtle: "Lost opportunity regained in the imagination." Jones enlarges upon this image, as "the psychological maturity of [humankind] on the practical side of life, the all-important and creative fluidity of character which makes [of us] immortal beings." Indeed, in these days of relative adversity, attitude is everything. With positivity on our side and trust in our process, when we sense worthwhile struggle we try all the harder to make significant progress. And when we run up against hardships, we can treat them as opportunities for finding inner strength.

Having a few days of double trouble?
Blame it on the Stars!
by Valerie Greene

Yes, if you noticed since last week that you seem to have to do things over, and over, needing at least a second try to get anything accomplished?

Yes..it is the planet Mercury, in Retrograde again!
That is the planet that rules all form of communication, and when it changes its normal forward direction as it did on Jan 5, 2016 it brings that annoying problem of delays and mistakes with our communicating.

Mercury does this to us about three time in a year. Each time giving us a time period when communicating will be impacting in your life, more than usual!

Some seeming to appear aggravating, and costly...but some in ways that can be very beneficial?

Which one for you depends on your birth planets...and where Mercury is in sign, when it retrogrades?

And this time period it is in fact, out of the norm?

First because it had just entered the unique freedom loving sign of Aquarius on Jan. 2, this new year! . And coming from the more conservative sign of Capricorn, it gave us all needed lift.

That is until it started back tracking in retrograde in Jan 5... then landing again in sober Capricorn this past weekend.

All of which is why you are now suddenly more practical minded most likely doing things that involve your past...and important planning around your future?

The good side of Mercury in retrograde, as it now is, in Capricorn, can help your practical mind dig out helpful details from your past that can impact your future security!

Especially if they are concerns, or have ties to past dealings?

You see Mercury in retrograde gives us another chance at something that we have left unfinished!

A time of repairs? A time of reunions? Bumping into or hearing from an old friend? All a way to bring your past dealings up front again thanks to the Planet Mercury?

The difficult side of Mercury now? Is likely to be those snarled traffic jams... those do overs... the car troubles, the broken appliances and feeling a bit more reserved and drained and misunderstood!

Patience everyone! Mercury will go back in direct motion on Jan. 25, 2016...when we will again first feel like we are going forward again too!

Has your New year 2016 started out busy?

By Valerie Greene

Yes? Well, you can blame it on the Stars!

You see the planet Mercury rules our current thoughts and the decisions that we make that are attached to them.

And on Jan 1, 2016 Mercury chanced signs! That happening all by its self would trend to bring a different trend with our thinking.

However, this Mercury change being now in freedom loving sign Aquarius, we would want to be more freedom minded! With a sudden desire to change things, to break our daily routine!

All because the action planet Mars, also now in a new sign, is in a difficult square aspect to Mercury too! Giving that greater need to stir things up! Hence your more busy, days!

But ones that also seem to bring a greater need to take control... that can cause arguments, and out of control behavior.

The worst effect of Mars and Mercury in a bad tango aspect as it is now, would be impulsiveness causing accidents! So try to slow down and think before acting.

Not the best planet pattern to begin a New Year!

How to cope? Use the desire part you now feel... to push towards getting things that take your skill and energy, done!

Closets that need cleaning out...furniture need moving or cleaning? Or how about annoying clutter? These first few days of our new year, is a great time to clean out and work at improving your life in some way. Just do it with careful thought and patience, and you will use that extra energy properly.

And guard your temper! Mars now in intense Scorpio, tends to do a slow burn...with a huge outburst!

Signs that need to use extra caution right now? Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius, and Leo.

With all of us feeling a need to be more active...and needing extra patience!

As, Mercury... is also slowing down and will turn retrograde Again on Jan 5, at 8:06 a.m. est.

The season of Winter begins!

by Valerie Greene

Today we welcome the official first day of winter! As the Sun enters Capricorn, on DEC. 21 at 11:48 PM EST.

Happy Birthday to those born under the sign of Capricorn! You will be having a Birthday within the next 30 days.

Also a great start for all the earth signs. With Tuesday's earth Taurus moon, giving strength to Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo, starting out this season, on a positive note.

Wednesday, Dec.23, a Gemini moon can try everyone's patience. Because of a difficult aspect from the moon, to deceptive, sensitive, Neptune, causing deception!

All starting around drive time to work. And effect any travel that you need to be doing? The best way to cope for all signs, would be to check details in any of the days happenings to prevent unnecessary mistakes and confusion.

Thursday's mornings moon, Christmas Eve, can also make us a bit overconfident, from a moon Jupiter square. Guard being negligent with anything that can be inflammatory. as an increase in the possibility of fire happens from over confidence and neglect.

The evening hours look more balanced, with an easier trend for all signs. And Just in time for Santa's visit! Enjoy!

Friday, Dec. 25, Merry Christmas Everyone~

The moon will be full in the home loving sign of Cancer. Putting the spot light on family and our home life, which includes our wonderful county of the USA. God Bless!

It is in The stars, Dec. 7, 2015
by Valerie Greene

A peculiar planetary aspect, between truth, and fantasy, could be causing you some very disturbing happenings.

What is it?

An unusual square exact by degree between sober restrictive planet Saturn, and the deceptive, intuitive, selfless, planet Neptune!

Both planets are in a kind of a mutual reception...

As Saturn now in Jupiter ruled Sagittarius, is craving the truth, more than ever! All while Neptune, now in its ruler sign of Pisces, is in its most imaginative and sensitive mode possible.

These two astral bodies are so different in action in our lives, that when they collide in exact conjunction, as it was from Thanksgiving Nov.26, - through DEC. 4, this year, it is hard to know what is real! And what is truly important! But both kinds of thought is more apparent for all of us during those exact conjunction days.

However, because those two planets have a different movement pace, with Neptune's very slow, the aspect, though not exact at this witting, it is still within a degree of each other and will be continuing its effect on us through New Years Eve!

What to expect? And how to cope!

Firstly patience with your self and others moods!

Which can go from extremely high to discouraging lows with in min. from each other!

And second, look twice at what you are feeling, and being told.

The truth is there to see but it might have to be searched out and proved before you sign, or trust that it is dependable!

And third, avoid doing things in excess, or over promising! Good can from who those who wait, or those who have intuition.

But you need professional advice to do those ideal deals that might be coming your way right now.

In other words, do not be penny wise and pound foolish. Seek out those in the know, who have proof of their worth, and advice!

On the up side of theses aspects? Our spiritual side can be wetted more than usual!

Bringing special small miracles to you during the holidays...Look for them, and find the comfort and meaning of what the Spirit of Christmas, is really all about!

2015-11-24T12:53:00.001-05:00

Full moon time! And on Thanksgiving Eve, too!

by Valerie Greene

Yes, on Wednesday at 5:44 P.M. EST, Nov. 25, the Gemini Full moon will be pulling on our emotions!

So try to keep in mind this trend, as you deal with all those extra activities to make your Thanksgiving, joyful!

Because the planet, that rules communication, and transportation, Mercury, along with the planet of learning Saturn, and the planet of deception Neptune, are also in Sagittarius, the Full moon pull, will be effecting those areas of life, more strongly!

Therefore, patience can go along way, if your traveling, or waiting, for those who are coming to you? Mix ups with your holiday preparation, plans, and do overs, are also likely.

The best way to cope? Patience, and flexibility! Along with being aware of being pulled into discord through others.

Some signs experiencing more of that negative effect, than others! They would be the signs of, Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, and Sagittarius.

But all sign would be wise to slow down and think, before they allow their emotions to get the best of them!

Remember, that this time of year, that Sagittarius Sun, is the sign of Faith, and good cheer!

Perfect energy to help us celebrate our holiday of Gratitude!

Do not allow small aggravations ruin what should be a wonderful day of Thanksgiving!
