On Wednesday, June 29, Mars will station direct, completing its retrograde through the first part of Sagittarius and the last 7 degrees of Scorpio. Mars is the planet associated with that which we desire most in life. It is the craving we must satisfy and the lover we lust for passionately. It is the drive to make our dreams tangible, the bravery to confront one’s fears. It is seemingly unconquerable. Like adrenaline, Mars is the strength and energy to persevere and survive when the odds are stacked against you. With Mars retrograde the last two months, it is likely these aspects of our lives, of ourselves, have turned inward for a period of internal review and soul strengthening. Its lessons presented themselves as obstacles, such as the inability to express oneself accurately, difficulties connecting with one’s passions or inhibited creative or sexual release. Its lessons also likely inspired a sense…

Mars goes direct on Wednesday. This is good news, but it might be a bit like an angry crowd demanding access to shelter from the storm, as Mars will go direct conjunct the Moon and Uranus in Aries.

If you have been working hard these past few weeks, you probably have “taken care” of the walking dead of your past, but it can’t hurt to look over your shoulder one last time for any straggling zombies of your past. It might be like one of those movies, you may want to high step it, think fast, and fire with deliberation. The caveat here? Don’t discharge your weapon if you don’t want somebody to get hurt.

We have been in the thick of our defense mechanisms for a few months now. In psychodynamic theory, defense mechanisms are the unconscious, primitive manners in which we think, feel, and act. They serve to…

“Lack of Direction”

If you’ve been reading my blog posts lately, then you know how we have been discussing the Moon in Aries going on right now. With the Moon in Aries, all the signs of the zodiac will feel much more energy, and boy have we needed it! But it can be too much of a good thing, as we can also become easily agitated and frustrated. Finally as Mars gets moving in the right direction again this week, we can feel like we’re on the right track…and that we’re actually moving forward in life again, but be patient…it may take a little while longer to really get where we’ve envisioned in our minds.

Aries ruler Mars is also moving into a close connection to the Sun and is getting ready to stop or “station” from its current Retrograde phase. This increases our energy…

I once heard that Taurus’ are known to be stubborn and that they also enjoy high quality fabrics. Well, nothing is more stubborn than a kid just trying to leave his hometown and sing about some midterms. Slip on your best khaki shorts…

Will the UK leave the EU?

Yes.

Based on my interpretation of this horary chart, this is now a moot question.

The UK is represented by Jupiter because Pisces (which Jupiter rules) is on the cusp of the 7^th house, i.e. the house of the quesited. The EU is represented by Mercury because Virgo is on the cusp of the 1^st house (the 7^th house of partnerships for the UK).

Mercury is at 26 Gemini and Jupiter is at 16 Virgo. They form a separating square. There are no applying aspects. This states clearly that there is no future between the two. Everything in regards to the (square = difficult) relationship of the UK’s EU membership was decided when that square was perfected on 23 June.

In a horary chart, the Moon functions as a general significator of the situation, describing the surrounding circumstances as well as the forward and backwards…

It’s all too easy to get lost in your dreams when Neptune in its own sign Pisces activates the South Node of the Moon, that astrologically symbolizes the past, as in what went before, in this life and the past lives, or parallel lives, if you choose to look at the stuff in your unconscious that way. In all cases, it affects all us, whether we like it or not.

There can be good things in the past, of course, as well as the heavy, bad karma we easily focus on.

Neptune here brings gifts of unbounded imagination, rich dreaming, glamour, hope, spirituality, artistic gifts, music, dance…

But it can also bring illusion, deception, not seeing things as they are, glamorizing and making excuses for the wrong things and wrong people, escapism in all its forms including drugs and alcohol, and on.

Neptune can take away the focus on the…

We’re almost there!!

I know it feels exhausting right now, but we’ll be through it soon, so hang on in there.

Mars is currently travelling at his slowest ready to station (seemingly stop) tomorrow and yes, that’s having an effect on our energy levels right now, as Mars is the planet responsible for:

• the way that we Act,
• our Physical Energy (along with the Sun) and
• our Assertion.

Add to that yesterday’s void of course Moon in Pisces and I think most of us were feeling pretty wiped out last night.

Over the last 10 weeks we have been given ample opportunity to:

• Slow Down
• Up Our Patience Levels
• Reassess our Ways of Asserting for What We Want

and to meet with those parts of ourselves that are experiencing:

• Frustration
• Anger
• Resentment
• A Sense of Powerlessness
• A Fear of Moving Forward

Some of us may even be experiencing the exacerbation…

Scotland voted to stay in Europe by a substantial majority on Thursday 23rd June 2016, just as the UK as a whole voted to leave the European Union.

Scotland’s horoscope has very accurately been speaking of an inexorable momentum towards independence from the time Scotland got her own parliament on 6th May 1999. To read my analysis of our country’s horoscope, click HERE. The chart below (click to enlarge) shows in red where the transiting planets, Chiron and Moon’s Nodes were on referendum day, 18.9.14. The progressions are in green.

That 18.9.14 referendum, from a high turnout of 84%, produced a decisive 55% Yes vote in favour of Scotland remaining part of the UK, 45% No to Scotland separating from the UK– but the clamour for independence has not abated. And SNP party membership has rocketed in the two years since it was held.

However, as we know from the momentous…

each month’s Sun sign in order to set magical/mindful intention for the lunar month beginning at the New Moon.

Each week Teri will write about the unfolding energies that support and challenge our intentions. The ebb and flow of the lunar cycle resides deep in our souls. Through following the phases of the Moon, we remember the natural cycles that guide us.
