Full Moon in Gemini
I don't know who the artist is for this image, so if you recognize it please let me know.
Today is a very vibrant Full Moon in Gemini because Uranus (planet of revolution and insight) has also gone Direct. There's a huge amount of energy alive right now. It's a great time to write down ideas and consider different paths. With Mars in Libra, the "weighing of both sides" could go on endlessly, so try to follow your heart.
It's NOT the time to take action though, unless there's something urgent weighing on you. Venus is going Retrograde this week until January 31st - I'll be writing more about that later this week.
Enjoy, Socialize, Write, and visit mountain tops. Today is a wild Airy day!

December 2013 Horoscopes
December opens with today's uplifting New Moon in Sagittarius, the wild horse! A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon are on the same side of the planet. Today through Wednesday is a time of new beginnings and to start new behaviors and projects. Sagittarius brings a drive towards independence, optimism and adventure over the next several days. Now is the time to think about goals for 2014, and to begin clearing and purifying your home to make way for the Year of the Horse in February. Next year will be fast paced, and you will want to be ready.
Most of the planets have been hovering in or near Scorpio since late October. November was definitely intense! For December, the next week or two is peaceful but we are hovering on the edge of a big shift. The fiery planet Mars (Drive) enters Libra (it's detriment) from December 7th, 2013 until July 25th, 2014, and Venus (Love) enters her retrograde in Capricorn (Reality) from December 21st to January 31st. Two very forceful planets enter the arena of love in signs where they don't feel at home.
Mars in Libra is like a soldier in full armor trying to sip tea with elderly ladies in an etiquette class. He's gonna be ill-at-ease :) Our normal drives and ambitions will be tempered by the desire for balance with others. We need to respect other people and honor their needs. It's good for us but can feel limiting at times. One way to deal with this transit is chivalry. Most knights had a code of conduct they followed, some of it brutal of course, but I would focus on the gracious side.
Venus in Capricorn is almost the opposite - a romantic idealist throwing a tea party on the floor of the NY Stock Exchange. Ha! I'm having fun with these analogies :) Venus, with her charm and loving nature is going to feel ill-at-ease in the environment of practicality, ambition and harsh reality. UNLESS of course, we're talking about THIS Venus:
Just try to be more like her. Start planking.
Oh, and to make things slightly more complicated, both Venus and Mars are having retrograde cycles too! This means they will be turning backwards. Retrograde motion often brings out the truth in relationships, and can cause an onslaught of "re" words i.e. renegotiate, reassess, relearn, redo and return. Watch out for the ghosts of boyfriends and girlfriends past returning...
I'll keep you posted on all this, but basically we're going to be reviewing our relationships and agreements with people over the next few months. Focus on creating BALANCE and negotiating fair, mutual decisions.
Onto the horoscopes! I will
look at the position of your ruler. Reading your sun sign is important,
but please read the sign that relates to your Rising sign. If
you don't know
your rising sign (also called the ascendant), you can figure it out on
the Free Horoscopes link at astro.com.

You will be renewing your attitude about commitment in the coming weeks.

Libra: The Scales
Your ruler, Venus, has entered Capricorn and will be there for a loooooong time - until the first week of March 2014.

Rest assured you are over supplied with luck for it right now. Libra is a romantic idealistic sign. Capricorn can bring a reality check to your life that can feel harsh, but will be good for you in the long run.

- Cravings for independence
- Visions of the Big Picture of life
- Desire to Travel
- Restlessness when listening to others
- Changes in Life Perspective
- The need to expand
- The yearning to be Outside in the fresh air
- To wander and explore and take risks
- To have adventures
- To Aim yourself where you want to go and release the string
Just get out there and DO IT!!!!!

Mercury is Direct!
The last two weeks have packed a huge astrological punch in our personal and public lives. Momentous events have appeared to spur our growth or send our lives in different directions. Most of the folks I know have been taking everything one day at a time, and to good effect. And things are about to shift again.
The Sun, Saturn, True Node and Mercury are all transiting Scorpio which underlines transformation. Any acts of healing and ritual are highlighted, as well as occult pursuits. Just stay away from social drama and bad neighborhoods. People can rise from the dead during this transit, so you might hear from people you haven't heard from in a loooooong time.
"Sunrise by the Ocean" by Vladimir Kush is a great symbolic representation of Scorpio's transformative nature. We are all being reborn, even as the Northern Hemisphere experiences Autumn.
Scorpio is a water sign which rules mystery, the occult, research, sex, death, and psychology. The lowest form of Scorpio is the Gray Lizard which lives in the ocean depths and is focused on fulfilling it's own needs. The second form is the Scorpion which can be distrustful and vengeful towards others. The third manifestation is the Bald Eagle which soars high above the Earth, sees the larger view of things, heals others with it's worldly perspective and becomes one with God.

I Love Lou Reed
Damn. We've lost Lou Reed.
I knew this would happen someday, but now that its here I find myself not ready for it at all.
There are times over the years I've gone through something hard - where my faith in the world has been severely tested and I've felt all alone. I got through those times 'cause I knew that Lou Reed had survived his own devastation and come out the other end. I've studied Lou's life in depth and have felt such kinship with him. He has been a light in the darkness for me. So many times I said to myself "if Lou Reed can survive what he's been through, I can make it through this".
I'll never forget the first time I heard the Velvet Underground. I was living at 708 Haight Street (a beautiful victorian which has since burned to the ground) and it was 1988. My boyfriend at the time, Mark, said I HAD to hear them and put "Foggy Notion" on his RECORD PLAYER - if you can believe that. I listened to that song over and over again for days. I became entranced by everything they had released, and played the Velvets constantly at work... really loud I might add.
I had never heard anything like it... before or since. They are in a class all their own.
I've been remembering Lou Reed today as "Mr. New York" 'cause he was... he was Mr. New York. I was blown away when I visited New York for the first time and was able to check out where The Factory and The Velvets had taken residence in the late 60's. I walked Canal Street, The Bowery and the East Village listening to every Velvets album... seeing the streets they had walked and the signposts from various songs. Hahahah! I remember when I came upon Union Square and got the shivers.
A few years later I went on to form my own band, Bettie Black. Lou's style of songwriting informed our sound. Lou Reed is one of my core influences.
I took a look at Lou Reed's astrological chart today, and he was so watery!! A Pisces Water Horse - the sign of an intuitive thinker, poet, artist and revolutionary. People born in the Year of the Horse are notoriously independent minded and rebellious. I'm sure his Jupiter in Gemini and Virgo Moon bestowed his gifts of writing.... and that North Node in Virgo in the 6th House made sure he kept busy.
It's fitting to me that such a special soul as Lou Reed would leave this Earth between two eclipses, AND when the Moon is in Leo (sign of the performer)! And it's so close to Halloween - one of the highest points of creativity in our culture. A time when we can dress up, have fun and be someone else. A time when we communicate with the mighty spirits of the returning dead.
So burn a candle for Lou on Halloween. I will. I feel he is at peace.

Humans of NY offers sage advice and amazing imagery
Just found this site and I LOVE it! I love NYC so much.
Check it out - Humans Of New York
"If you could give one piece of advice to a large group of people, what would it be?"
"Try your best to deal with life without medicating yourself."
"You mean drugs?"
"I mean drugs, food, shopping, money, whatever. I ain't judging anybody, either. I was hooked on heroin for years. But now I've learned that every feeling will pass if you give it time. And if you learn to deal with your feelings, they'll pass by faster each time. So don't rush to cover them up, or you're never gonna learn."

Olympic Torch lit by the Sun
From the Associated Press:
Using the sun's rays, the Olympic flame lighting for the Winter Games in
Sochi went off without a hitch in southern Greece Sunday, ahead of its
journey across Russia's nine time zones and even a trip to space before
the Feb. 7-23 games.

Sochi went off without a hitch in southern Greece Sunday, ahead of its
journey across Russia's nine time zones and even a trip to space before
the Feb. 7-23 games.
The ceremony was held with actresses dressed as ancient priestesses at
the birthplace of the Greek games held in antiquity, with the flame
lighting using a parabolic mirror.
Actress Ino Menegaki, in the role of high priestess, called out to the
ancient god of the sun, Apollo, before the flame was lit and passed to
18-year-old Greek alpine skier Ioannis Antoniou.

Full Moon in Aquarius - Lightning Strikes Bay Area
There's been 15,000 lightning strikes in the SF Bay Area since noon yesterday.
A huge lightning storm crossed over the Bay Area last night, illuminating a bright Full Moon. This is our second Full Moon in Aquarius this year which is a rare occurrence. Aquarius is the sign of originality, inventiveness, revelation and insight - and it's symbol is electricity and Lightning! A wonderful confluence of events for us in SF.
Watch for a sudden turn of events today - usually for the better. The energy of this Full Moon can bring a sudden event or idea that clears the trapped energy in your life. Today look at where you feel stuck and take the steps towards freedom.
How do you hold yourself back and what can you do to gain independence?
How can you best express your originality?

Mercury Retrograde today at 9:08am PDT
Yes, Mercury went retrograde this morning! But everything will be fine.
This is a time of reexamination of old issues coming up for resolution. It's a time to speak the unvarnished truth and clear the air. Try not to sign any contracts, begin new commitments or rush around anywhere. It's a great time for solitude and meditation.
Mercury Retrograde from June 26th, 2013 to July 20th, 2013

Summer Solstice & Horoscopes
Welcome to the High Point of Light and the Summer Solstice. This is the longest day of the year - the time of greatest light and therefore a time of huge celebration! Cultures from around the world and across the centuries have celebrated this day as a sacred time. The seeds we planted on the Spring Equinox are now blooming vigorously in anticipation of the harvest ahead.
The Sun's entrance into Cancer today heralds the Summer Solstice. There's an added bonus this year however, as Jupiter enters Cancer next week for a year-long stay. This is a remarkably lucky alignment! To see how this beneficial development will effect you personally, check out my horoscopes below.
Check out the horoscopes below for your Sun sign AND your Rising sign. For my horoscopes the Rising Sign is the most important aspect. You can figure out your Rising sign (or Ascendant) here for free.
There's a lot of movement in the skies right now. It's interesting to me that at this time of greatest light, we have six planets in water signs! People might be more emotional, sensitive or nostalgic right now. Mercury has led the way into the sign of Cancer, but is about to retrograde next week on June 26th. If you have important decisions to make or contracts to sign, NOW is the time. Venus follows close behind Mercury - the two of them making a trine with Saturn in Scorpio. This aspect gives you fantastic timing in the arenas of love and business.

With this placement, people in authority will be impressed with you and give you whatever you want (pretty much). By the way... this house also rules sex :)

June horoscopes ~ New Moon in Gemini
May was a major turning point for everyone. April/May 2013 unleashed three eclipses in a row which is a very rare occurrence. The meaning under the surface of events or relationships rises up to a point where we can easily make sense of them. If there are any lingering communications that need to be resolved, June is the month to take action. Try to tie up loose ends by June 26th, because that's the start of our upcoming Mercury Retrograde.
On May 20th the Sun entered Gemini. Although a tense stand off between Uranus and Pluto happened the same day, the revolution is still brewing. For most people the Sun in Gemini heralds a social time when people exchange ideas and beliefs. Our brains have shifted into high gear.
The Gemini influence is particularly strong this year because of the presence of several planets in the same spot - The Sun (Fulfillment), Mars (Drive), Jupiter (Riches/Expansion) and even wild Lilith (Equality)! The Sun and Jupiter are called "benefics" since they have a positive influence on our lives. Today, specifically, is a New Moon in Gemini meaning the Sun and Moon are on the same side of the Earth in a conjunction. It creates a mood of socializing and chattiness in people, and more risk taking on the highways.
To read how this personally effects you, check out the horoscopes below for your Sun sign AND your Rising sign. For my horoscopes the Rising Sign is the most important aspect. You can figure out your Rising sign (or Ascendant) here for free.

Full Moon in Virgo with Mercury Retrograde
Today is a Full Moon in Virgo, which is a great time to get organized, clean your house, or start a new health plan. People might feel more focused today, taking on situations requiring efficiency, decisiveness and attention to detail. There are a couple of "wild cards" in the mix with this Full Moon, since Mercury just went retrograde in Pisces on Saturday, and Jupiter is forming a square (tension) with this Full Moon. What this means is that our plans might be delayed or develop in ways we don't forsee - which can be for the better sometimes. The square with Jupiter points to blocks or distractions we might need to crack in order to reach the treasure on the other side.
I see the Full Moon as a time of fruition - it's the harvest part of the cycle since the Moon has reached it's peak for this month. It's a time to look at developments over the last two weeks while the moon has been growing in size. Perhaps do a check in and see if there's a need o resolve an issue, make amends, or get grounded. Usually I keep in mind where the Sun and Moon are in the sky and think of what part of my life that effects. For instance, the Sun is currently in Pisces (intuition, dreaminess) and The Full Moon is in Virgo. How do we take practical steps towards achieving our dreams?
