The end of the year approaches and with it has come a couple requests for information about what the coming year holds for each sign. Truth be told, I don’t do astrological forecasts for the individual Sun signs, ever. Why would I take such a position? Well, it really comes down to the fact that, for the most part, we are so much more than the Sun signs we were born under. I’ve known some Sun signs that you would never guess them to be that sign because their Ascendant (where the Sun was, in its daily course through the heavens, at the time of their birth) was much more of an influence on them than their Sun sign. Or, in some cases, there is a number of planets in one sign that takes the focus off the Sun sign. So, to me, those forecasts for the coming year for…

CAPRICORN (DEC 23-JAN 20): You don’t get a lot of free time these days, and you have many choices about where to invest it. Therefore, the people you pay attention to are very lucky indeed. Do they know that?

AQUARIUS (JAN21-FEB19): Your best opportunities spring from a chilled-out mood. So close your eyes and conjure up a lazy scene. Your powers of imagination are all you need to relax and enjoy life.

PISCES (FEB20-MAR20): When you ask for and receive help, what does the other person want in return? If you don’t know, find out. Everything has a cost. Today, the currency is not money.

ARIES (MAR21-APR20): The unknowable will remain such, but that shouldn’t stop you from reaching out to touch it with your imagination. It’s part of the kind of growing up that can happen at any age.

TAURUS (APR21-MAY21): Name your limits. Face them and focus on them. This isn’t negative; rather…

The Sagittarius New Moon window is OPEN. Sagittarius is the sign of the adventurer, the philosopher, the sage, and at 2:29 AM PST on Friday December 11, the sun and moon meet in Sagittarius.
When Sun and Moon are travelling together in the sky, our inner and outer worlds meet and vibrate at a frequency that is more closely matched. With this new moon, our boundaries are pushed beyond the ordinary, we see and feel what is possible beyond whatever current struggles we see around us and in the world. With this new moon, we see what is possible.
We have cleared so much of the old, and while there is still more to clear – for there is always more to clear, we are in touch with HOPE. The air is thick with change, with the mutable fire of Sagittarius tumbling toward the winter solstice and the change of…

It’s Almost Time

It’s almost time,
almost time for the change in light
but almost time
for the poor and weak to reach out
their trembling hands to each other and to grasp.

It’s almost time
for the kind to smile
and be seen
in all their glory,
for the shift in power.

It’s almost time
for the silenced to sing
and for the earth to receive the sweet rain
of justice as it falls on ploughed fields.

It’s almost time to be brave
and to go the next step
without knowing how.

It’s almost time
for the knowledge of the Moon
to rise in the dark sky and let us know
there is more than one way
to see the road ahead.

Mercury, our planet of expression, entered cool Capricorn on Wednesday, Dec. 9th, 2015. While Mercury was in Sagittarius we had our fingers crossed and pushed on with blind faith and optimism. Now, Capricorn brings us right back down to Spaceship Earth and grants us with clear, focused ambition so that procrastinators (like myself) can launch plans and get shit done.

NEW MOON @ 19º SAGITTARIUS Friday December 11 2015 at 5:29 AM EST

Passenger what are you searching for
What is this longing I see in your gaze
Unknown shadows are dancing in your eyes
In the distant regions of your heart
Something is calling
to be born
The ride has been arduous
But you’ve held on
With everything that you had
You made it this far

You have learned the rhythms of your pain
You can recite them in your sleep
You built a temple and gave thanks to your fears
Laboured at the feet of giants
for a meager return

You found a key for the wrong door and you kept searching

Like a pilgrim looking in the distance
You can see the road ahead
There is no signs, no oasis and no one
But a vision
guiding your steps

one by one

Traveler where are you…

Friday’s New Moon in Sagittarius is the perfect opportunity to step back, take some quiet time and reflect on 2015.  This really is the one day of this year where, if we slow down and tune in, we will be able to see things in a different light – and very likely, connect with some wonderful new insights and ideas, compliments of favourable aspects from the Sun/moon to Mars and Uranus.  There are also a couple of sticky aspects to contend with, which might threaten to pull us down into the trenches a bit and tell us all sorts of lies… but never fear when the all-seeing Archer is near – lets shoot those  those arrows at the stars!

This new moon is a great time to get perspective on the past year. So before the Silly Season kicks…

A new Moon cycle is upon us! That last one sure was intense and quick all at the same time! Agreed? LOL!

Tomorrow, Friday, December 11th, at 3:30a MST, both the Sun and Moon meet at the celestial longitude of 19 degrees of Sagittarius 03′. Check your birth chart, Solar Return chart, Business birth chart/Solar Return – any or all of them – to see where you begin this Moon cycle of Seeking Your Higher Truth aka “What IS my Mission this lifetime, and more importantly, Now?”

Sagittarius brings the mutable Fire element to our table. Going With the Flow AND taking Action via inSPIRation (In Spirit). Have you noticed our days and worlds are no longer linear? More like spiral dances, and yet we still end up where our intention began, just NOT in the way our Ego-self saw it to BE…

Mercury in Capricorn
“Practical Thinking”

Mercury enters more serious, but really just more focused Capricorn today, where it stays through January 1st . Our thinking process is going to shift from the adventures we could be going after, while Mercury has been in Sagittarius, to on what’s real and practical. The party is over because its time to look at what’s here in the physical world, in the here and now on this physical plane we live in.

This energy definitely will help curve our spending to some degree, but it is the Holidays. We do tend to plan out what we do with our money more so then impulse shop. We should be able to concentrate better with expressive Mercury in sobering Capricorn. We tend to focus on the task at hand until completion. In other words we get things done, at a slow steady pace. Our…

Tap into dreams and mystical side of life during morning hours as Moon confronts Neptune.  Take some time to be alone and reflect as the Moon meets Saturn.

With Mars opposing Uranus a dynamic, restless and forceful energy is infused into the energy field.  The excitement of attaining a goal or the impatience in getting the job done is apparent.  Meet challenges head on, but be aware of a tendency to bulldoze anything in our tracks.

Venus making a minor confrontation to Jupiter draws us to more dramatic forms of beauty.  Rich texture and qualities are comforting.

The New Moon is 19 degrees of Sagittarius on December 11th, lit like a bonfire in the middle of nowhere, raw like an open wound, rugged like a warrior in the heat of a battle with his or her shadow. Sagittarius is daring and resilient by nature, and doesn’t care to be bogged down by rules or moods. In compensation for the turbulence we have experienced in several areas, we might now be directed to unusual spots or scenarios that take our mind off our problems and introduce us to brilliant new ideas. No other sign is as adept at helping us find the silver lining in the clouds and the humor in our troubles. Try this meditation out for starters.

As new moons signify new beginnings on both mundane and magical levels, many of us are looking toward the near future with an expectancy born out of mixed emotions…

The new moon in Sagittarius comes on December 11. New moons are a time for creating fresh energy, focusing your intention to make things happen over the next month. It’s a time to conserve energy, rather than take action. Laying low and really figuring out what you want to accomplish will help as you take action on the next full moon.

Sagittarius is the sign of philosophy, travel, religion, justice, higher learning and truth. Sag follows its own path, and it doesn’t give a shit what others have to say about it. Whereas its opposite sign Gemini wants to talk it out, Sagittarius wants to take action. It’s the mutable fire sign, fire symbolizing spirit energy in the zodiac, the divine spark that animates us. Sagittarius is especially tuned into the spirit, it’s ruling planet of Jupiter expands the mind and keeps their laser-like focus on the stars. Sag people…
