No less than four heavenly bodies will change directions in April, adding to an already exciting and somewhat "cloud the issue" spring season. Mercury SR April 9th @ 5* Taurus - 24* Aries. (Get all the details in the free webinar April 3rd; link on forecasting webinars page) Suffice to say that this will be a time to slow down, ponder our resource values, goals and intentions. Be engaged, but watch having too many irons in the fire! Venus retrogrades back into Pisces, reminding us of the ultimate intention to connect with Source energy. Service vs. Power. What are you doing in your own neighborhood to take care of the least of us? Jupiter Rx in Libra completes the third exact last quarter square to Pluto, now nearly still in the sky for its retrograde. Many resource related traumas and truths become more obvious. Saturn will have its last retrograde in Sagittarius, finishing up from 28* - 21* Sag. Truth must now finally be exposed. Core beliefs are reconciled. Patience and clarity for understanding come firs

The Aries New Moon on Monday March 27th will be a culmination of an unusually rash and impetuous set of fiery transits involving Mercury, Venus, Sun, Moon and the Uranus-Pluto T-square. Mercury, in it's pre-shadow phase prior to its retrograde April 5th, will oppose Jupiter, and square Uranus and Pluto. Lots of judgments related to who is right and who is wrong. We may fear losing control and the vulnerability experienced with those feelings could cause triggered reactions. Venus, also in Aries, makes its interior conjunction to the Sun, marking the highlight of its retrograde cycle. Review the essence of your self-identity and the wants and desires that emanate from that identity. Inwardly listen throughout this weekend and then respond. Avoid the ad-libbing and hasty conversations. Finally, Mars joins the hit parade with aspects to Chiron, Neptune and Saturn. An attitude adjustment will be needed. Consideration of others opinions and actions must be foremost in our consciousness to avoid the unpredictable.

Welcome to the collective renewal of the Solar Year as we approach the spring equinox. This year, however, we also have Mercury and Venus there in Aries, as well. Take time to evaluate what it is that you have finished up (Pisces) so as to begin again with less baggage on your creative journey. The Sun in Aries mantra: "I initiate with consideration of others" There could be a little hot-headedness in the air and the speed of our digital communications could cause some backfires. The first quarter square of Jupiter in Libra to Pluto in Capricorn remains in orb and is the real grounding point for us now. Empower and nurture only the viable and worthwhile relationships and beliefs that support you now, on this ever-evolving journey to the core of your Soul.

With Mars and Venus, the two primary relationship planets in mutual reception to one another, a unique matrix of healing now exists. Our desires will tend to gel in Taurus as we reflect on what we value and need most in our lives. The Venus Rx takes place directly over the same degrees that Jupiter and Uranus shared with their conjunction back in 2010. Now, at their opposition point @22* Libra-Aries, we have another profound relationship marker. Can both sides be heard equally? Are you able to tune in to your own inner voice? Your own inner child? You true inner needs? Mercury's conjunction to Chiron helps us to remember that our wounds lead to our greatest self-healing potentials. Mercury will become more anchored with the square to Saturn but then ingresses Aries on March 13th causing interruptions and fragmented conversations. The Sun Chiron conjunction will rebirth unconditional self-love and creative sparks will definitely be felt. Finally, this weekend is the Full Moon of Health and Wellness @22* Virgo-

Mercury, Sun, Neptune form powerful conjunctions @ 12* Pisces the first week of March. Considering the nodal axis @ 3* Virgo-Pisces and one can easily be intensely inspired right now or just downright confused. Work with your new values and weld your connection to Source energy. Remember, values determine your needs and your needs initiate your new desires. Mercury is racing towards that superior conjunction to the Sun @ 16 Pisces and marks a creative juice point to tap into. Maximize your March intentions and go for it! We have another Mercury retrograde coming April 9 - May 3rd, 2017. Join us for the free webinar. Mercury will be busy hitting on 7 planetary archetypes. Jupiter Rx opposes Uranus and makes a last quarter square to Pluto revealing nothing less than the individuation process of our Soul in action. Re-assess your collective beliefs. How have you wanted to grow and evolve your Soul this past decade? Venus Rx will travel over the last Jupiter-Uranus conjunction (seed thought) degrees from 2010-201

This active, perhaps volatile weekend features the final eclipse of the Virgo-Pisces nodal axis transit, when the Sun and Moon align at 8* Pisces within orb of the South Node, Mercury and Neptune. Mercury enters Pisces and races forward to conjunct the nodal axis and then Neptune next week. Ample opportunity to open the third eye of spiritual awakenings and inspirations, receptive to our higher selves. However, Pisces has a lower shadow of escapism and abuse welcoming dense projections, so be careful of slinging mental and verbal spears this weekend. The steady drumbeat remains the cardinal activity in the mid-degrees of Aries-Libra-Capricorn. Pluto is within orb of squares to four planets - Venus, Mars, Uranus and Jupiter. This is no lightweight configuration and brings deep, stubborn control and domination issues to surface more easily. So the ego is tender and Pisces wants to dissolve boundaries. Perhaps a good time for massage and sensuality to win out on our ecstatic journey to the core of the Soul.

We are winding down the transit of the nodal axis through Virgo-Pisces - 2 months remain - and so the conjunction of the Sun and the south node is particularly potent to shine the light on any old emotional baggage that still holds us back. We have the shift to Leo-Aquarius in May, so be looking for our various webinar invites and receive guidance on this next shift, as well as Venus and Mercury retrogrades. Sun in Pisces mantra: "I am in wholeness with my Reality" Great time to re-focus on unconditional love of self and true forgiveness. However, the major long-term relationship transit remains Jupiter's waning inconjunct with Chiron and Neptune in Pisces. Libra-Pisces transits can always reveal the blindspots. How are your unrealized expectations showing up? Any post Valentine's letdowns? Use the power of self-love to overcome. Finally, Mars will activate the Uranus-Pluto T-square the last two weeks of February. If it you thought we need not any more drama and meltdowns, this crises in action first quarter

The penumbral Full Moon of Leo happens Friday evening as the Sun, Moon and Earth align at dusk. This is the quintessential Moon for self-love and the Leo-Aquarius axis is all about new levels of objectivity around that. Be aware to feel a deep love within that exudes outward, in contrast to the needy attention-seeking types roaming about. Interesting synchronicity, then, as we approach Valentine's Day against this backdrop with the Sun also making easy trines to Aries Uranus, Saturn in Sagittarius and freshly retro Jupiter in Libra. Could be wild and fiery with all that air and fire! The reality check will be Pluto in Capricorn making an uncomfortable aspect to the nodal axis in early 3* Virgo-Pisces. The real special gifts then, may just come from another's providing you genuine, objective feedback for future healing as you enjoy the fascinating and relationship-driven journey to the core of your Soul.

The cross quarter celebrations of the Celtic holiday, Imbolc, (the Christian overlay Candlemas) or simply Groundhog's Day are upon us. Our ancestors honored this mid-winter season with rituals to honor the return of the Sun, prophesy and purification. Mercury finishes up its aspects to Uranus/Pluto and makes the waxing square to Jupiter almost stationary retrograde in Libra. No wonder our beliefs about immigration and outer relationships are being exposed, pressured up, and on display in social and political circles. Remember to re-align mentally with all your recent intuitive revelations about those relationships with colleagues and friends. Are you seeing things clearly? Are you being objective? Venus will be in Aries for a total of three months (February, March and May) with her next retrograde from mid-Aries into late Pisces. Venus just wants us to love and be loved, feel beautiful and fulfilled. The interior conjunction of Venus to the Sun @5*Aries March 25th will provide clarity as to what we feel we de

Not often do we have all planets in direct motion, but from January 8, when Mercury went direct @29* Sag, we observe this synchronicity from our geocentric reality on Earth, until Jupiter goes stationary retrograde Feb. 5th @23* Libra. Little wonder then, with Mars entering Aries Jan. 27th through March 9th, why life seems filled with firestorms of discourse, executive orders, and the subsequent reactions of resistance. What new considered actions are you implementing as Mars begins this new two year cycle from its own sign? Apathy is futile. Evolution does not happen in a vacuum; what is taking place as Pluto in Capricorn marches toward the U.S. natal Pluto in Capricorn (2023) will affect all living beings on planet Earth. In the words of Jonathan Schell: "The active many can overcome the ruthless few." Venus joins Mars in Aries Feb. 3rd - April 2nd with a new retrograde cycle commencing March 4th @ 13* Aries through April 15th, ending @27* Pisces. Venus makes the first of three waxing squares to Saturn in S

The Sun in Aquarius mantra: "I break free with new creativity within myself" However, we must first look deep within to fully grasp those core values (Venus) that will allow for the new sincere intentions to manifest creatively in our world. What blueprints for the future are you now putting into play? So Venus is now chasing Mars through Aries and will conjunct Chiron, square Saturn in Sagittarius, and make a waxing sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. Isn't it appropriate that we have this Venusian focus just prior to the cross-quarter Candlemas (Imbolc) and then Valentine's Day? This also occurs just prior to Venus' rare retrograde coming in early March. So be willing to look into your own relationship patterns and beliefs right now. We will have three special workshops on sale on the Educational webinars page to help get you ready! Also, EA Course materials sale ends Jan. 27th. Join us Now!

The Full Moon of Cancer creates a cardinal grand cross in the sky re-emphasizing this new year theme of "considered activism" Mercury direct in Capricorn through Feb. 2nd, will also activate that cardinal square as the messenger god travels over the first 15* of Capricorn for the third time and favorably aspects the nodes of the Moon bringing a certain clarity to our decisions. Venus conjuncts Neptune at 10* Pisces. Assess what is most important to you and then feel the vibration of that deeply. This will determine how you will act upon your needs, wants and desires moving forward this year. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, Mars will aspect Pluto, Uranus, Chiron, Jupiter and Saturn all in the span of one calendar week. New insights, a new two-year cycle of core healing, and some adjustments in our attitude towards compromise will be necessary to avoid the old power and control games on this ever-evolving personal and collective journey to the core of our Souls.

2017, the Year of Activism, begins with a distinct Aquarian flavor after Uranus moves ever forward after a five month retrograde, now direct at 21* Aries. The lower octave of Uranus, Mercury, also goes direct this week in Sagittarius, on Jan 8th. This retrograde period in Capricorn found many of us (StarLady and MediaMonk) replacing appliances and hardware of all types, repairing vehicles, doors and windows, all Mercury/ Capricorn archetypes. However, the big picture connected to the small stuff of Mercury, is the Sun conjunct Pluto at 17* Capricorn. Mundane resolutions aside, this represents tremendous power to re-birth the creative principle within our Souls. Helping to energize this process is the Sun making aspects to Aries Uranus direct (waning square) and Libra Jupiter (waxing square) What new pathways must be forged? What needs to be released? It just may come down to our intuitive notions about the friends and acquaintances we hold dear. With the Full Moon of Cancer Jan. 12th, decide this New Year who

As we exit 2016, Uranus, the planet ruling surprises and technology, goes direct at 21* Aries adding an Aquarian punch to the New Year. What aspects of life are you needing to liberate yourself from? What old conditioning patterns are you clinging to for security reasons that really are just holding you back? This is important to ponder as a core theme, for Uranus SD will be in the ingress chart for 2017. Another core theme involves Mars and Neptune, conjunct now at 10* Pisces. Impatient Mars wandering through the Neptunian fog can become frustrated easily. Watch the tendency to over-do this holiday as excess in food, drugs and alcohol can certainly occur as compensation. Adding emotional emphasis is the Moon conjunct Mars/Neptune on Jan. 2nd. Moderation will help avoid post-holiday blues and depression; another classic Pisces archetype. Finally, Venus ingresses Pisces from Jan. 2 - Feb. 2 and Mercury regresses into Sagittarius for about a week before marching forward again. What ultimate, meaningful values a

Jupiter and Saturn's last conjunction in May 2000, in Taurus, was all about a deeper understanding of the many resources we sometimes take for granted in our lives. Now, at the close of 2016, and three quarters of a cycle later, both social planets are in a waning phase to the outer planets, indicating a finishing up, or resolution and completion of those resource and survival themes. Jupiter's waning inconjuncts to Chiron and Neptune has helped to review and refine the spiritual understandings we have attempted to grasp this cycle. Now, Jupiter in Libra's opposition to Uranus could sow some relationship rebellions and impatience with conflicting opinions. Saturn's waning trine to Uranus and its waning square to Chiron may manifest as disillusionment and a feeling of powerlessness, or, perhaps we will all summon new courage to call out misogyny and racism and exclusive politics when they appear. One thing is for sure, Mars is compressed between Pluto and Uranus and aspects Jupiter as well, so we all are feeli

Celebrate the return of the light and the Sun this Winter Solstice! No coincidence that the traditional religious holiday co-opted the pagan celebration of the shortest day of the year. Sun in Capricorn mantra: "I achieve my goals with emotional self-reliance" Mars moves reluctantly into Pisces Dec. 19 - Jan. 27th and wonders what there is to do in this nebulous, floaty water sign. Reflect on those choices that made you most happy in 2016 and focus your conscious efforts there. It is no less than a new re-birth of the desire nature for all of us. We shall also have a Mercury Retrograde Dec. 19th - Jan. 8th retracing the first 15* of Capricorn. A variety of parent-child themes could re-appear for the holidays. Maintain emotional homeostasis as many of us are challenged as we become the parent to our parents! Finally, the end of this year is ripe with themes of truth versus falsities. Fact-checked information and real, deep conversations are highlighted with Jupiter opposing Uranus and Sag Saturn trine Uranus,

The Full Moon in Gemini this weekend shines emphasis on communications and our continual sifting through information in the search for real truth. This Sun Moon opposition at 22* Gemini/Sag is augmented by Mercury's waning sextile to Neptune in Pisces. Hear what is being said (or written) on deep intuitive levels. This theme is further enhanced by the Saturn Sun conjunction in Sagittarius at 19* and Sag's ruler, Jupiter, at 18* Libra in a waning sextile to the Sun. New cycles of integrating truth vs. lies is upon us, necessitating the development of perceptivity and patience with others and other's opinions. The Sun's waning trine to Uranus in Aries fires up personal rewards if we have been tapping in and turning on to Source and avoiding the noise. Finally this week, we also have strong Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter and Chiron transits for later this month in time for the holidays. Finding the truth shall set you free and yet these collective symbols will demand that you must do so within groups and relationships.

The holiday comes in the nick of time reminding StarLady and MediaMonk that gratitude is indeed a high vibration of thanksgiving and perhaps an avenue to inner peace. The Sun and Moon in Sagittarius re-emphasizes the Sag mantra of understanding the relativity of truth with others. We must be grateful and recognize the diversity of voices at the dinner table and in society. Appreciate and listen to other perspectives this weekend. Ask "What would you have me know Source?" Meditate and listen further as Mercury trine Uranus - square Chiron brings answers out of the blue your way that lead to joy. Relationships could be tested with Jupiter's first of three waning squares to Pluto (and Venus now) in Capricorn. Will you compromise or want to be in control of all the conversations and activities? This recurring theme continues throughout the year with Jupiter's second retrograde hit in March and the final passage in September. Get the full detail package by joining our 2017 Forecast and Beyond webinar Dec. 14, 6-8

Choosing to find post-election equilibrium, StarLady re-commits to sharing important information from an evolved perspective of sharing, giving and inclusion. Neptune direct at 9* Pisces continues to sow confusion and doubt, forcing us to ask: "What do I believe?" "Why do I feel victimized?" "What do I need to release from within?" Sag Mercury conjunct Saturn will square Neptune pushing our truth buttons. Real focus and a search for objective information beyond the the inherent bias of internet trolls will certainly be important now to dispel and evaporate this temporary Neptunian fog. Sun in Sagittarius says: "I understand the relativity of truth with others" Finally, Jupiter squares Pluto at 16* Libra-Capricorn. This is the last quarter phase of these two planets and re-emphasizes the crisis in consciousness being felt and experienced by many on this uneven and sometimes disorienting journey to the core of the Soul.
