Leo Full Moon
February 7, 2012

4:54: PM, EST

Washington, D.C.

Our next Full Moon is in the sign Leo; the sign of colours and courtships, of gold and greatness, of lemons and lilies and of saffron and St. John’s wort. As with all astrological phenomenon, look to the precise location of the Lunation and its aspects to the points in your individual charts in order to gain a greater understanding as to how these cosmological possibilities will unfold for you.

The Moon is at 18 degrees of Leo and forms an exact opposition to Mercury who is at 18 degrees of Aquarius, and is conjunct the Sun. One of the many things, which are governed by Mercury, is a child. With Mercury in Aquarius–the sign of science and Astrology, scientific breakthroughs and evolution–we may certainly observe in the headlines in the coming weeks a scientific breakthrough discovered by a child or a very young adult. These discoveries are shrouded in a high form of creative (Leo) thinking; as all abstract thoughts, which stem from outside the box, originate.

Regarding business matters; Jupiter in Taurus–these energies offer a significant amount of monetary growth–forms a harmonic trine to Pluto in Capricorn–these energies offer the potential for business ventures which are powerful and momentous, when of course created from a place that is humble, especially during these unprecedented times. The Jupiter / Pluto energies can signify a considerable amount of financial growth, personally and globally, especially if the intentions which have been set into motion are altruistic. These energies offer large corporations the potential for substantial monetary growth, however, unless these establishments have created a place that serves the greater good of all concerned, they shall not reap the benefit of these possibilities. Neptune, now full force into Pisces, is at the center of the Jupiter / Pluto trine forming an opportunistic sextile to both these large astrophysical things indicating the presence of Spiritual intentions surround such ventures. We may event notice coming to the surface in the media large corporations, which are more concerned with the Human condition that making a profit, which, in fact, may only elevate the growth of their corporations.

Venus at 29 degrees of Pisces conjoins Uranus at 1 degree of Aries and their union creates a transformative inconjunct aspect to Saturn–who is retrograde until June 25, 2012–at 29 degrees of Libra. Women in high-ranking places, especially those in government, will be in the news, significantly, in the next few weeks. We may hear some surprising, unusual announcements from those females in power regarding a restructuring of their positions. Perhaps an unexpected female player will throw her hat into the race for president!

Namaste.

January 9, 2012

3:24 PM, EST

Washington, D.C.

Our first Full Moon of 2012 is in the sign Cancer; the sign of bakers and baths, of caregivers and caterers, of nourishment and nursing as well as Oceans and black onyx. As with all planetary activity, look to the precise position of the Full Moon and its aspects to the points in your personal charts in order to achieve a better understanding as to how these astrophysical possibilities will unfurl for you.

The Full Moon is at 18.5 degrees of Cancer and the Sun is at 18.5 degrees of Capricorn, offering Humanity the opportunity to know and observe the necessary balance between itself, and large conglomerates, and if there is an imbalance, the reinstatement of balance will be created, if not directly from Humanity, from Nature. As it does in all things, Nature shall innately create a necessary balance.

Mercury, who is now full force in his orbit, is at 1.5 degrees of Capricorn and forms an almost exact square aspect to Uranus in Aries at 1 degree. In the last week we have seen how when we allow our voices to be heard, beneficial changes can be made, especially when we voice against greed. On December 29, 2011, Verizon announced that, beginning on January 15, 2012, it would charge a $2 “convenience fee” for its customers making a one time, online payment. Outrage over this nonsensical act was so much so that within one day, Verizon abandoned its plan to implement the convenience fee.

In the coming weeks we shall observe other situations, which shall involve a demonstration of a “breaking away” from what may not necessarily serve a greater purpose, especially when the element of greed is incorporated. These energies from Uranus to Mercury radiate a nature of rebellion, especially if there is a situation, which takes place in the outside world that may seem repressive in any way. This means not for us to become unruly, this situation gives us the opportunity to think outside the box, and create a change that will service all of Humanity. This is an example of what I was referring to in my “2012 Forecast,” regarding the implementation in all matters of a “win / Win” situation, especially regarding large corporations (Capricorn).

The Uranus / Pluto square, another significant transit that will remain in effect until March 2015, is accentuated on this Lunation, further amplifying the trend to break away from those in power and in high places which no longer serves an advantageous purpose to Humanity–those in high places only have the power that Humanity gives to them, Humanity has the power to create the change when those individuals do not have the highest intention of Humanity in mind. Once they no longer serve a purpose for the highest good of all concerned, they shall begin to fade away. These restructurings are a part of the significant change in the consciousness of Humanity that is unfolding during this extraordinary year.

Saturn, at almost 29 degrees of Libra, forms a harmonic trine to Venus and Neptune, who are conjunct at 23 and 29 degrees of Aquarius, respectively. The Venus / Neptune amalgamation in the late degree of Aquarius, offers great potential for abstract, unconventional creativity. And, Jupiter at 0 degrees of Taurus, offers the energy of a sextile, opportunity-aspect to Venus and Neptune offering an opportunity to those who express high levels of artistic and musical creativity to convey themselves in a manner which may not have been understandable in the past.

Mars, at almost 22 degrees of Virgo, will begin its bi-annual retrograde phase on January 23, 2012 and shall remain so until April 13, 2012. His retrograde point is on Neptune in the chart of the United States, rousing challenges regarding matters pertaining to oil and the oil industry or other areas where chemicals are involved. We have recently witnesses a spike in the cost of fuel; this increase may continue to rise in the coming 2 weeks. And, with the Mars transit forming an aggressive square aspect to the natal Mars in the chart of the United States, this country may seem overly aggressive to its allies in the coming weeks. Especially since the Full Moon is closely conjunct the natal Sun of the United States, the spotlight in all matters will shine on our the U.S. Also, situations pertaining to Children and their healthcare and well being could be a sensitive topic in the near future.

Namaste.

___________________________________________ Gemini Full Moon
Total Lunar Eclipse
December 10, 2011

9:37 AM, EST

Washington, D.C.

Our Full Moon / Total Lunar Eclipse is in the sign Gemini; the sign of thoughts and communication, of dexterity and duality, of restlessness and rumors, of stories and storytelling and of Wales and the West Indies. The Moon is 18 degrees in the third sign of the Zodiac; look to the placement of the Eclipse in your charts and the aspects it creates to gain further understanding of how these astrological energies will manifest for your personally.

As I have mentioned in many prior forecast regarding Eclipse; an Eclipse will always signify a significant reallocation of energy and shift the consciousness of the greater of Humanity and individually, as well. Collectively, we are at the helm of a considerable shift in the “thoughts” of Humanity; are we allowing our individual minds to connect to the higher levels of consciousness so that Humanity can collectively transform its awareness towards a method of living that is greater than Humanity itself? When we come to this awareness, we understand that which is greater, is really already part of Humanity.

Mercury, the planetary ruler of Gemini and the planet of thought, who is retrograde until December 13, is almost 5 degrees of Sagittarius and forms a square aspect to Neptune. Confusion and misunderstandings may run rampant in the coming weeks; especially concerning all matters of communication. We are at the height of the Holiday season; mail and deliveries will certainly be affected and delayed, as well as travel, so maintain patience and love concerning these matters. Uranus, who moves direct in motion on the day of the Eclipse at 2:04 AM, EST, and is at 0 degrees of Aries, forms a harmonic trine to Mercury; this energy offers the potential for a quantum leap of increased Awareness and creates a great flow of mental activity towards an altruistic manner of thinking, especially now that Uranus is direct in its orbit. Along with Mercury in Sagittarius, the sign of the higher mind, the channels of communication with the higher levels of spirit are elevated. When we choose to look within for guidance and redirect the energy of the mind from something external, the aforesaid negative energy results–pertaining to confusion–can redirect towards a clearer outcome.

The Gemini Moon forms a transformative inconjunct aspect to Venus at 17 degrees of Capricorn and is rising in the Eclipse chart cast for the United States. Women (Venus) in high power positions, especially those in government (Capricorn) seats will be in the news in the coming weeks. Situations regarding the possible decline of power for these individuals as well as potential disreputable matters connected with men in government positions could surface in the news.

Saturn, in the late degrees of Libra, forms a harmonious trine to Neptune, in the late degrees of Aquarius. The energies of this configuration will be in effect until mid summer 2013, however, the beginning of its influence is in motion. At this stage of this planetary cycle, at the late degrees, the power of Neptune accentuate a transition of the unconscious mind towards a greater understanding and awareness of the intrinsic psychic connection to spirit; an ability which everyone has ownership! Jupiter, at 0 degrees of Taurus is factored into this equation as it forms an opposition to Saturn and an opportunistic sextile to Neptune. The influence will be felt specifically to those who demonstrate high levels of psychic ability; the intuitive faculties are extremely amplified at this time and what will be most noticeable is the ability for the individual to communicate (Gemini) what is being received from Spirit. Be ready to reveal great things to those whom you channel information, whether it is for yourself or someone else or the greater whole of Humanity. The Universe is radiating vast information from its core, and those of us who have the capacity to connect with this information are now powerful channels for the conveyance of this information; greatly amplified now with the energies of this Eclipse.

Be ready; be aware, the time for transformation is now.

Blessed be.

Taurus Full Moon
November 10, 2011

3:16 PM, EST

Washington, D.C.

Our Full Moon this month is in the sign Taurus; the sign of architecture and commercial artists, of cash and cattle, of all kinds of possessions and precious stones and of treasures and the national treasury. Always be conscious to review the exact placement of the Full Moon and the aspects it creates to the points in your personal charts to gain further understanding as to how these planetary energies will manifest on an individual level. The Full Moon is at 18 degrees of Taurus.

Mars, at the very last degree of Leo at 29 forms an opposition, Full Moon, aspect to Neptune, who moved direct in its orbit on November 9, 2011, at 28 degrees of Aquarius. This energy offers potential challenges for things involving oil, oil refineries and natural gas sites; accidents relating to fires, explosions, could surround locations such as refineries and drill sites. Planetary activity in the late degrees of any sign (27- 29-degrees) is considered “critical,” and significant, sometimes, highly unsettling events potentially manifest. There could very well develop a significant Earthquake due in part to drilling, excavating for oil or natural gas.

Mars / Neptune configurations amplify psychic energy and paranormal activity, and with these energies at critical degrees, a word of caution to those sensitive to such energy; remain as grounded as possible as the psychic energy levels can be off the charts near the time of the Full Moon, especially within 3 days before and after the Full Moon. Also, unwise application of the paranormal should be avoided, such as the use of a Ouija board or conducting / participating in Séance.

Pluto at 5 degrees of Capricorn is at the highest point of the Full Moon chart cast for Washington, D.C. and forms a challenging square aspect to the ascendant (rising sign) in the chart. The coming weeks could feel extremely uneasy and unsettled, perhaps more than in the recent past. Jupiter in Taurus forms a harmonic trine to Pluto; this energy could be a blessing in disguise to offset any unconstructive force, or, it will amplify the negativity of Pluto’s square to the US ascendant. Pluto and Jupiter, along with Mars create a benefic, grand trine aspect; although the aforesaid mentioned energies seem malevolent, there is always the opportunity for the Phoenix to rise from the ashes, which is the opportunity offered from this planetary composition.

We are approaching an additional period where Humanity will undergo another significant shift of its consciousness as the impending Solar and Lunar Eclipse’ approach on November 25 and December 10, 20011, respectively.

The stage has been set for the ominous and auspicious “2012” time period during which Humanity will continue its opportunity to recognize itself as the Spiritual being which it came into this consciousness to remember. Those who have diligently pursued the path of Spiritual development and enlightenment of the self, shall advance in personal growth with quantum leaps. Those who have not may experience great, personal confusion and challenges in understanding their place in this new constitution of Humanity, specifically those in the medical profession, including traditional psychiatry, and those of high power in large organizations and corporations. I will elaborate on these topics, as well as many others, in my “2012 Forecast.”

Blessed be.

Aries Full Moon
October 11, 2011

10:06 PM, EDT

Washington, D.C.

Our Full Moon this month is in the sign Aries; the sign of diamonds and fires, of energy and enterprise, of pioneers and poppies and of wolves and zeal. As always, look to the precise residency of the Full Moon and its aspects in your astrological chart in order to gain greater understanding as to how these energies will manifest for you at the personal level.

The Moon is at 18 degrees of Aries and, as to the Sun at 18 degrees of Libra, forms an opposition to Saturn at 19 degrees of the seventh sign. The energies of this “Full Moon” aspect to Saturn bring to light all business and government related matters. The day before the culmination of the Full Moon, the stock market rallied in hopes that, according to CNN, “European leaders will unveil a plan to solve the European debt crisis by the end of the October.” These energies to Saturn will certainly give another boost to the economy, however, what will ensure long-term “financial” security, is our Spirituality and the awareness of our connection to Spirit and NOT something as unbalanced as the economy or the stock market. The Inspiration of this “knowing” is what the Universe has been lovingly offering Humanity since 2008. The Full Moon also forms an opposition to Saturn in the chart of the Untied States; another indication there can be a surge in the economy, as well as business here in the U.S. in the coming weeks.

Mars at 13 degrees of Leo forms a harmonic trine to the Moon, as well as a prosperous sextile to the Sun and Saturn, energizing the vigor of the aforesaid planetary configuration.

Jupiter in Taurus, who is retrograde until December 25, 2011, forms a harmonic trine to Pluto in Capricorn at 5 degrees; the ongoing energies of this configuration have been giving all business related matters opportunity for significant growth and development; those who have been diligent in their efforts in creating business situations which are altruistic, humanitarian and which offer the highest good of all concerned at their helm, will be served well by the energies of this design. Jupiter forms an opposition to Venus, which can certainly bring an elevation to personal, financial matters, and Pluto forms an opportunistic sextile to the planet of money, accentuating the growth in personal, monetary gain, as well as opportunities for better and continued employment.

The Moon is in President Obama’s second house and creates a sextile aspect to his ascendant; in the coming weeks he will certainly continue his quest for improvements in the economy, as well as presenting yet another Economic policy and continuing his effort to pass another jobs bill. Perhaps his efforts of the past regarding this matter will show some productivity and prosperity in the coming weeks.

Neptune, at 28 degrees of Aquarius, who is retrograde until November 9, 2011, forms a harmonic trine to Mercury in the last few degrees of Libra at 27 degrees; this is another, final push of the creative and scientific understanding of Spirituality, especially the connection of science with Spirituality and Spirituality with Science. The ultimate understanding, is Knowing there is no separation between the 2; another profound reality that will profoundly continue to surface during 2012.

Pisces Full Moon
September 12, 2011

2:58 PM, EDT

Washington, D.C.

Our Full Moon this month is in the sign Pisces; the sign of the Spiritual, Spiritualism, the higher Spiritual powers, Spiritual initiation and Spiritual progress. As always, look to the exact placement of the Full Moon and its aspects to your astrological chart in order to gain greater understanding as to how these energies will manifest for you at the personal level. The Full Moon is at 19 degrees of Pisces. Humanity is certainly at a moment where we can witness the acceleration of Spiritual progress.

To say the last few weeks, here along the Eastern seaboard of the United States, have been unimaginably challenging, Spiritually and otherwise, to say the least, is an great understatement. Within 5 days, we experienced a 5.9 magnitude earthquake centered in Mineral, Virginia, hurricane Irene and massive floods from the Carolinas up to Vermont. In my prior Full Moon forecast I wrote; “I am sensing similar energy as demonstrated during the August 2001 and August 2008 timeframe.” Certainly, Hurricane Irene was not as devastating as the events of September 2011, however, the similarity of the energy from that time frame and before the sever decline of the economy, for myself, still feels cacophonously similar.

As with all challenging experiences, we are CREATING the opportunity to rise to greater levels of consciousness, awareness and personal Spiritualism; this is yet another, of the many unprecedented opportunities since 2008, to know our Spiritual self and our connection to that Source, God, whatever term needed personally to describe that energy which created all of matter in the Universe, and whose particle exists unconditionally in each of us!

Mercury in Virgo, who is now past its retrograde “shadow” point–the point which it moved retrograde–is rising in the chart cast for Washington, D.C. and Neptune in Aquarius forms an opposition to Mercury and the ascendant of the Washington chart. There can be an overall sense of confusion and bewilderment here in the U.S. in the coming weeks, especially regarding matters of assistance to those affected by Hurricane Irene. Challenges with all forms of communication may also be on the rise in the nest few weeks; there may also be another calamity regarding healthcare here in the U.S.

Mars, at almost 26 degrees of Cancer, forms a trine to the Moon in Pisces; albeit, a harmonic aspect, the energy of a trine creates the flow-of-ease type energy. With Cancer and Pisces being water signs; the element of water may be flowing too easily here in the Unites State. On Thursday, September 8, 2011, a headline on Weather.com stated; “Historic Floods Inundate Northeast Again.” We may continue to witness sever flooding in out country in the coming weeks. The week of September 19, 2011 has begun to feel somewhat unsettled for me; during this week, the possibility of another sever hurricane event, or terror-type threat / activity–this uncertainly can begin to escalate at the onset of the Full Moon.

Pluto at almost 5 degrees of Capricorn, who moves direct in his orbit on September 16, 2011, forms a harmonious trine to Mercury at 5 degrees of Virgo, and Jupiter at 10 degrees of Taurus; the three planets create a benefic, grand trine energy aspect. The prominent dynamic of the energy of this aspect allows us personally to understand the power potential and significance of our thoughts and what those thoughts can create–especially when we have the ability to direct them with awareness. The Pluto/Mercury/Jupiter energies also bode well for the progression of economic growth. The recovery of the economy has been in question during the last month, however, I feel the information may not be completely accurate, and we could very well see in the news a positive, reassessment of the global economic condition. I also see that, on a personal level, if we remove ourselves from the FEAR which seems to be making an attempt at rising from the collective unconscious, our financial well being shall improve, especially when we remember our connection to the Source which created all things, and remembering we are permitted to live in Abundance.

Aquarius Full Moon

August 13, 2011

2:58 PM, EDT

Washington, D.C.

Our Full Moon this month is in the sign Aquarius; the sign of Astrology and Astrologers, of friends and free will, the Humanitarian and Humanitarianism, and of vision and ones wishes. As with all planetary action, look to the location of the Full Moon and its aspects to the points in your personal charts in order to gain better understanding as to how these planetary potentials will develop for you.

Recently, I have noticed a rise in the amount of fear that seems to be demonstrating itself in the world; this period is yet another opportunity to release any fear, which may still reside deep within us, individually. This is an unprecedented opportunity to release any lingering trepidation and shift our awareness–personally and collectively–into and towards Light. Neptune has now dipped back into the last few degrees of Aquarius; it will teetered between 28 and 29 degrees before finally moving full force into Pisces on February 3, 2012. Humanity is being given the opportunity to critically shift the collective unconsciousness so that we may continue ushering in this new age of higher levels of Spiritual understanding, which will heighten during 2012. The last few degrees of the sign Aquarius are indicative of powerful and profound shifts of awareness that will set the stage for the next level of evolution in the consciousness of Humanity: living in a place of simply and unshakably knowing (As I discuss in Chapter 12 of “The Planets”) we are connected to Spirit, to the Source which created all things.

The Full Moon is at almost 21 degrees in the 11th sign of the Zodiac and is conjunct our nebulous friend Neptune. The Moon and Neptune form an opposition, “Full Moon,” aspect to Mercury, who is retrograde until August 26, 2011, as well as to the Sun and Venus, all in Leo. Neptunian aspects, even benefic, can be complex and deceiving and whenever we are presented with energy from Neptune, the most advantages manner to understand the energies and opportunities from this entity of high levels of Spirituality, is to go within and to “look” with the “Eyes of the Soul”! This is an influential time for Humanity to go within and welcome Spiritual guidance. We might notice much deception, confusion and an overwhelming feeling of uncertainty regarding global matters; this is yet another opportunity to remember our connection to Spirit and when that awareness is forever remembered, the external situations in the world will shift toward experiences which are more loving.

In the week leading to the culmination of the Lunar cycle, we have experienced several exact, significant planetary alignments; Mercury opposing Neptune, Mars squaring Uranus, Mars opposing Pluto; with these energies, confusion and combustion abound. These influences remain in effect at the onset of the Full Moon and will continue to radiate their energy in the coming weeks. We have already noticed a radical imbalance of the global economy, primarily because fear has been allowed to cloud our thoughts. I feel and foresee this is only a temporary setback, if we choose to not allow the unnecessary fear to continue. We are certainly misinformed and unclear about the reality of the economic condition, and not until Mercury changes direction and moves past its shadow point on September 10, 2011, will we have greater understanding as to what is taking place in the world–economically and otherwise.

With Neptune in close proximity to the Moon (We the People) in the chart of the United States, there is an overall feeling of confusion and deception, especially coming from the Government; greater clarity regarding political and government-related matters and the economic condition will come in mid-fall. On August 12, 2011, Saturn at 13 degrees of Libra forms an exact, challenging square aspect to the Natal Sun at 13 degrees of Cancer in the chart of the United States. This is the last formation of this aspect in this cycle; in the coming weeks we will observe continued stress regarding the economic recovery. I am sensing similar energy as demonstrated during the August 2001 and August 2008 timeframe. We may not necessarily observe another “9/11” or “Great Recession” experience, however, we may come close to something similar if we do not make other choices that will not allow these situations to come to pass.

Again, these external conditions are opportunities from the Universe for Humanity to remember its connection to Spirit. If we can detach ourselves from the fear, which seems to be rising from the depths of darkness, we will create a place within ourselves where we intrinsically just know we are safe.

Capricorn Full Moon

July 15, 2011

2:39 AM, EDT

Washington, D.C.

Our Full Moon this month is in the sign Capricorn; the sign of blue-violet and dark brown, of cellars and cemeteries, old churches and convents and of mountains and mortar, of vaults and vocations. As with any lunation and planetary activity, look to its placement in your individual charts in order to gain a better awareness as to how these energies will potentially manifest on a personal level.

In the chart cast for Washington, DC, the planetary energies of the Lunation are scattered throughout the chart; in the week ensuing the culmination of the Lunar cycle we may experience an overall feeling of confusion and a sense of uncertainty. This is in part due to the shifts of energy and consciousness, which I have refereed to, in past forecast that is connected to the onset of the back-to-back Eclipse. A significant quality, which we are becoming more aware, is that each individual, while we are here on Earth, is to create a balance with Earth and Spirit energies; Nature and Harmony, resulting in Peace and yes, PROSPERITY.

The Full Moon is at 22 degrees of Capricorn and atypically creates no major aspect to the other planets in the chart cast for the culmination of the Lunar cycle; so we look to other, more precise Astrological formation in the chart of the Full Moon.

Transiting Uranus in Aries forms a close square to Pluto in Capricorn; the energies of this combustible aspect will be in orb until March of 2015. The vigor of this volatile aspect will bring demonstrations where we shall see cultures and people of various countries breaking away from those in power who are seen as dictators. Such demonstrations as the recent rebel advance on Tripoli, Libya, are prime examples of the aforesaid energies in motion. And, this is only the beginning of this type of expression around the globe.

Jupiter, now full force in Taurus, forms a melodious trine to Pluto in Capricorn. These energies bode well for economic growth, as well as improvements with the real estate market. Jupiter in Taurus transits the 5th house of the United States chart; the sector of the astrological chart which favors monetary growth of real estate.

Gemini is rising the Full Moon chart cast for the United States, and Mercury, the ruler of Gemini in Leo forms a benefic sextile to Mars, also in Gemini. We shall notice that travel is well favored in our country; “We the People” may feel an overall sense, from perhaps at very small level, that the outcome of the last few years will certainly be favorable for everyone. Mercury in Leo offers great, creative energy for the mind. Those who express a high level of resourcefulness will notice a surge of creative energy at this time, especially yin their creative thoughts.

President Obama will continue to be challenged regarding his plans for deficit reduction. During the coming weeks he will be viewed a being somewhat seditious and callous in his actions. Mr. Obama has the potential within him to be very much a Humanitarian, however, his idealist self may not allow him to integrate those qualities in a productive and diplomatic manner. Circumstances may not go as planned for him, or as he plans, in the coming weeks. Allies of the United States may also not respond auspiciously to the actions of our president and overall government.

The Full Moon is in close proximity to Pluto in the natal chart of the Untied States; these energies can fuel the overall sense of unease of which I mentioned earlier; another one who may be considered an “enemy” of the United States may rise in the coming weeks and we shall native another increase in terror alerts and threats. Another significant incident surrounding young children may also appear in the headlines in the coming weeks.

Sagittarius Full Moon

Total Lunar Eclipse

June 15, 2011

4:13:PM, EDT

Washington, D.C.

Our Full Moon this month is in the sign Sagittarius; the sign of carbuncle–the gemstone–and colleges, of exploration and faith, of foreign countries and forest, and of philanthropy and philosophy. The Full Moon is also a Total Lunar Eclipse, and as always, look to where the Full Moon resides in your personal, astrological charts and its aspects to the points in your charts, to understand how these planetary energies will manifest for you.

The June 15 Total Lunar Eclipse will be visible to observers in Africa, southern Asia, and Australia. It is said that this eclipse will be one of the darkest eclipses ever. It will be second only to the July 16, 2000 total lunar eclipse. The best location to view the eclipse will be in the northernmost region of the “entire-eclipse zone” in central Asia, as well as Eastern Europe and northeastern Africa.

The Full Moon is at 24 degrees of Sagittarius and is closely conjunct the Galactic Center. In my prior forecast and writings, I have explained my understanding of the significance of the Galactic Center;

At the Galactic Center of the Milky Way there is believed to exist a super massive black hole. The significance of the Galactic Center is that there are pulses of energy emanating from the black hole at that point of our Galaxy, and as when any one thing aligns with another, depending on what those 2 objects may be, there can come great benefit from the amalgamation of energies when we understand the opportunity the comes from the Universe. I view the Galactic Center as a portal of energy to higher levels of consciousness where we may find a connection, at the Spirit level, to higher intelligence. I see this energy as pure Spirit energy. This connection to the Galactic Center offers Humanity the opportunity to become conscious of elevated levels of awareness; specifically, the global knowingness that there is an interconnectivity of Spirit and Energy with all of Humanity.

The energies of our Eclipse will bring to fruition many events, which offer Humanity the opportunity to, once again, see itself as Spirit having a Human experience. One of the many things which are governed by Sagittarius is the higher mind; the part of our energy self which connects to the higher levels of consciousness, in other words, to the Source which created all things–the “God” consciousness, or whatever it is we personally understand the deity of higher consciousness to be. Over the course of the next year-and-a-half, we will feel the effects of the coming Eclipse. The energy is intense, the shift in our consciousness, potentially irreversible. If we have, up until this point, walked in the light and with the understanding of our Oneness to each other, and our connection to our Source that created all things, we will be safe.

The energy of this Eclipse, as well as the Summer Solstice, which takes place on June 21, 2011 at 1:17 PM, EDT, is so powerful that we will again experience possible great Earth shifts, resulting in another significant Earthquake, as we observed on March 11, 2011 with the Earthquake in Japan. Japan is once again vulnerable, as well as the Los Angeles and New York area.

Along with being in opposition to the Sun, the Moon opposes Mercury, who is at 27 degrees of Gemini, and forms an opposition to the Galactic Center; this aspect accentuates the shift in our mindset, specifically, individually, concerning the outcome of events as they unfold in the coming weeks and months, in particular from now through the summer. Neptune, who will remain retrograde until November 9, 2011, at almost 1 degree of Pisces, forms a harmonic trine to Mercury and the Galactic Center, offering the hope for the shift in our minds to demonstrate itself in a manner that bodes and understanding of Spiritual Love. I shall continue to elaborate on the great Spiritual potential of Neptune’s transit through Pisces in my mid-year forecast, to be posted in the coming weeks.

The Saturn opposite Uranus aspect remains within the orb of influence and forms a t-square aspect with Pluto in Capricorn. These energies are indicative of demonstrations and rebellion, against government structure, authority and dictatorship; we have been witness to the continual unrest in Libya with the rebellion against Muammar Gaddafi; these demonstrations will certainly escalate in the coming weeks, as well as similar exhibition towards other leaders such as Mr. Gaddafi.

The Full Moon / Total Eclipse forms an opposition to Mars in the chart for the United States along with an exigent square to Neptune created a t-square aspect; aggression towards the U.S. shall be on the rise in the coming weeks, terror alerts will increase and the possibility for another damaging incident regarding oil, oil wells and its refineries could be on the horizon.

Scorpio Full Moon

May 17, 2011

7:09:AM, EDT

Washington, D.C.

Our Full Moon this month is in the sign Scorpio; the sign of death, and life after death, of murky colours and coroners, of leek and legacies, and of rebirth and reincarnation. As always, look to the placement of the Full Moon and its aspects to understand how these planetary energies will manifest for you on a personal level.

The Full Moon is at 26 degrees of Scorpio, and with the Sun at 26 degrees of Taurus, forms a challenging, out-of-sign, t-square aspect with Neptune at 0 degrees of Pisces, who is elevated (at the highest point) in the chart of the United States. Oil prices will certainly continue to be precarious in the coming weeks as well as the possibility of another disastrous incident regarding an oil well, oil field, or something similar. This exigent aspects also indicates deceit and fraud; especially in the area where oil and its commodities are concerned; the time near May 24 if feel to be unsettled, especially regarding these matters. We may learn additional information regarding the deception which surrounded the April 20, 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Energies of the coming Total Lunar Eclipse on June 15, 2011 are already in motion. The killing of Osama bin Laden is the beginning of a series of very unsettling events; for some time now I have sensed and foreseen unease during the months of June through August, and possibly into September; terror activity will be on the rise, retaliation of the killing of Bin-Laden, as well as another series of significant Earth activity, such as the Earthquake which shook Japan earlier this year, are all potentials.

During the coming weeks we may also observe another “round” of celebrity death; perhaps not as numerous as during the time when Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett passed, but significant, nonetheless.

Venus, Mercury and Mars are now in Taurus at 1, 2 and 4 degrees respectively and Pluto in Capricorn forms a harmonic trine to this trio of Earthly energy. During this time we may feel great ease in matters relating to finances, business, and personal, creature comforts, in the media we could hear substantial news that the economy my finally be moving forward. We may also in general, personally, feel as though we are moving foreword with anything we may have individually been striving toward in the past 6 months. Neptune at 0 degrees of Pisces forms a benefic sextile to the trilogy of Taurian planets adding a sense of great optimism in out experiences, especially from our connection to Spirit.

In the United States we may observe a health crisis as the Full Moon energies accentuate the 6th and 12th houses (illness [6] / serious illness [12]) of the chart of the Untied States. The Scorpio Full Moon is closely conjunct President Obama’s Midheaven; with the Moon’s affliction to Neptune, who is transiting our President’s first house, we may hear news of propaganda regarding the alleged killing and death of Osama bin Laden, as well as information which may indicate the Untied States may have been misleading with the information it presented surrounding this incident.

We shall see.

Libra Full Moon / “Super Moon”

April 17, 2011

2:10 PM, EDT

Washington, D.C.

Our Full Moon this month is in the sign Libra; the sign of balance and beauty, diamonds and diplomats, of scales and September and of vines and violets. Look to the specific location of the Full Moon and its aspects to the natal planets in your personal, astrological chart in order to increase a personal understanding as to how these planetary energies will potentially manifest for you. The Libra Moon is at 27 degrees, and this Full Moon is also another “Super Moon;” the Moon is “Perigee,” its closest approach to the Earth thus further amplifying all the energies present at the time of the Lunation.

With the Moon in late-degree of Libra, in the coming weeks we will personally be very aware that we must re-establish and recreate balance in all areas of our lives–especially Spiritually–so that we may remain grounded, particularly in the coming years. With Neptune now beginning its transit through the sign of profound Spirituality, Pisces, and creating a harmonious trine to the Full Moon, Humanity is given the great and powerful opportunity for Spiritual redemption, among other things!

At the time of our Full Moon, la Luna makes a very tight inconjunct aspect to Venus at 26 degrees of Pisces. This precarious aspect indicates another dip / decline for the global economy as well as further stress coming from the oil industry. We have seen the price of oil increase in leaps and bounds in the last few months, however, I feel and see relief in the months ahead; for the time being, let us be more aware of how we consume this vanishing natural resource. The Moon’s aspect to Venus in the sign of Spirituality, indicates those organizations shall experience financial woes.

Venus at 26 degrees Pisces forms a t-square with the nodes of the Moon; we could observe in the news headlines surrounding a great challenge for a prominent, female figure; possibly something as similar in significance as the 2007 assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

Pluto, who is now retrograde until September 16, 2011, is at 7 degrees of Capricorn and forms an exact, volatile square to the Uranus / Mars midpoint. During the week leading up to the culmination of this lunar cycle, Japan increased the severity level of its nuclear crisis to that of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. The coming weeks will be just as, if not more, unstable and unsettled with possibly greater radiation threats looming. Another Earthquake, close to the magnitude of the March 11th quake in Japan, may be coming, as well. As I mentioned in my “2011 Forecast,” this year would be very, very active regarding the shift of Earth energies, and during the coming weeks and summer months, the activity will continue and possible escalate.

The Libra Full Moon forms a hard square to President Obama’s Saturn in his 12th house. His recent debt reduction plan will certainly be ruthlessly challenged and may never fully get off the ground and another political, unflattering secret from his past could very well come up.

Namaste.
