Gemini New Moon

Washington, D.C.
Our impending New Moon is in the sign Gemini; the sign of communication and consumption, of periodicals and passengers, literature and London, England. As with all astrological events, look to the Lunation’s exact placement in your charts and the aspect it creates to the points in your chart, to understand how personally you can set in motion these New Moon potentials into your realities.
The Sun and Moon are at 21 degrees of Gemini and form a harmonic trine to Neptune at 28 degrees of Aquarius. This effortless aspect offers the potential for high levels of abstract creative energy to be set into motion.
Neptune, the planet of Spirituality and the higher Spiritual powers in the last few degrees of Aquarius, the sign of Awakenings, is very powerful in the chart of this New Moon. Neptune, along with Venus at 27 degrees of Cancer and Saturn, at 27 degrees of Virgo, forms a profoundly powerful “Yod of God” aspect with Neptune being the focal point of the formation. This configuration is profoundly indicative of the potential great shift in the consciousness of Humanity towards a higher level of Spiritual understanding. Humanity is on the cusp of some very powerful changes, Spiritually and otherwise, and in the coming months we will become aware of the continued shift towards a higher vibration of Earth energies as well as the individual awareness of great potential.
This transformative aspect provides the opportunity for Humanity to continue its shift of Spiritual consciousness and evolution towards living at a higher level of a Spiritual existence. At the onset of the New Moon, let us be mindful to be acutely Aware of our desire of moving towards a mode of living that is centered in Spirituality and Spiritual Love. One facet where we are inspired to be mindful in creating that sense of Spirituality is the manner in which Humanity conducts business; something I have discussed in past forecast. The Universe has provided opportunities for Humanity to conduct business from a “win / win” standpoint, let us continue in choosing this method of business, for the higher benefit of all.
Mercury, at 3 degrees of Gemini forms a transformative inconjunct to Pluto at 4 degrees of Capricorn. This potent aspect from Mercury, the planet of the mind and communication, to the planet of great metamorphosis, Pluto, indicates a time for Humanity to set into motion a new and compassionate manner of thinking and to direct our thoughts and mindset directed at creating a way of living that is more Spiritual and Humanitarian, sympathetic towards each other regardless of race, creed or color.
The Jupiter and Uranus are conjunction at 0 degrees of Aries and are located at the highest point in the New Moon chart cast for the United States; Pluto squares the conjunction at 4 degrees of Capricorn. Jupiter conjunct Uranus expands Humanity’s awareness for the continual integration of humanitarianism in our society. The square from Pluto is offering our Global community the opportunity for the integration of this potential to be profound, and to have a powerful impact on the consciousness of Humanity. The energetic square is also indicative of the great need for this powerful change to manifest into the consciousness of Humanity. This conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus is the first of 3, and the only that will take place in Aries. I will continue my elaboration of these energies in my “2010 Midyear Potentials” which will be posted later this month.
Namaste.

Taurus New Moon
May 13, 2010

Washington, D.C.
Our forthcoming New Moon is in the sign Taurus; the sign of treasury and trees [in general], of Cyprus and Dublin, of copper and coral. As always, look to the placement of the Lunation in your personal charts in order to gain a greater understanding as to how to implement these New Moon energies!
The New Moon is at 23 degrees of Taurus and forms a very powerful and creative square to Neptune at 28 degrees of Aquarius. The position of Neptune in Aquarius in the later degrees of the 11th sign of the Zodiac is extremely electric, and at times erratically eccentric and abstract. Those of us sensitive to energy, especially psychic energy, will notice a surge throughout the coming weeks. This amplification of energy, at times, may feel as thought electrical currents are running through the body. I suggest being very aware of our surroundings and to take great care in remaining grounded, especially during electrical storms; I also suggestion being conscious to breakthroughs in personal awareness, as well. Directing this powerful energy into any creative ventures will certainly offset any negative effects of this complicated, yet highly creative and dynamic aspect.
Uranus is coming to the end of its travels in Pisces and is now at 29 degrees and conjunct Jupiter, who is at 26 degrees of Pisces. This combination forms an opportunistic sextile to the Sun and Moon, welcoming the possibly for the understanding of ourselves from a very deep, subconscious level. In the coming weeks we would be served well at choosing some Spiritual discipline such as mediation, and welcome the Awareness we are given about ourselves from the Universe.
Saturn in Virgo, who is retrograde until May 30, 2010, forms an opposition to the Jupiter / Uranus conjunction further emphasizing the need for Humanity to restructure its approach to healthcare and well-being; another topic I shall elaborate upon in my “2010 Mid-year Potentials.” Saturn forms a harmonious trine to the Sun and Moon, this aspect indicates that our efforts towards a Spiritual discipline can be accomplished with ease provided we are disciplined and determined to achieve our goals of integrating the personal Awareness being offered from the Universe.
Saturn’s inconjunct aspect to Neptune continues to remain in orb; the catastrophe regarding the oil spill in the Gulf will continue to be a hot topic in the news; we shall ascertain more regarding this situation; matters of negligence and a “cutting-of-corners” will surface and bring greater clarity as to how this situation came to pass. There may also come to the surface a government’s “behind the scenes” connection to this devastating situation.
Mercury in Taurus, who moved direct on May 11, 2010, forms a trine to Pluto in Capricorn. This potent aspect favors opening the mind to greater possibilities regarding that which we consider to have value–whatever that maybe–something I discuss in chapter 2 of “The Planets.” We can use this time towards opening our minds in allowing the integration of understanding as to what is intrinsically important and significant in our lives. We may also find we are have the availability to tap into the great powers of the mind and direct those energies towards the manifestation of our personal goals, and more profoundly, towards goals that will serve the greater of Humanity.
One final point; during the last part of this month, we will see a very strong outbreak in wildfires, please take great care when spending time in Nature.
Blessed be.

Aries New Moon
April 14, 2010
8:29:AM, EDT
Washington, D.C.
Our next New Moon is in the sign Aries; the sign of heat and holly, of energy and epilepsy, of Capua and Amethyst. As with any lunation and planetary event, look to its placement in your individual charts in order to gain a better understanding of how these energies can be utilized.
At the onset of this new beginning cycle, we have the Sun and Moon at 24 degrees of Aries and Neptune at 28 degrees of Aquarius forming an opportunistic sextile to the lights. Use these highly Spiritual energies to allow the integration of the understanding of the workings of the subconscious mind so that we may alter any behaviors we demonstrate which no longer serve a greater purpose for our higher self. We are also served well to use this time to incorporate any new Spiritual discipline into our daily routine, such as mediation and Yoga.
Mercury is at 11 degrees of Taurus–and conjunct to Venus at 16 degrees of Taurus–forms a dynamic square to Mars at 6 degrees of Leo. Mars in Leo demonstrates a highly dynamic, creative energy; let us direct the energy of our thoughts to creating a well-balanced, personal financial edifice that is structured to our personal needs. Mercury and Venus both in the sign that represent financial standing further indicate the energies of this New Moon can in part be used to rethink how it is we use and distribute our finances. Also, Mercury moves retrograde on April 18 and will resume its direct motion on May 11, 2010.
Saturn retrograde at 29 Virgo forms a transformative inconjunct to Neptune at 28 Aquarius. This powerful aspect in late degree is indicative of the urgency of the importance of the incorporation of these New Moon energies, specifically with matters concerning the global economic condition. We are now inspired by the Universe to make yet another effort in remembering that when we allow the realization that we are connected to Spirit, regardless of what comes to pass in the external world, all that we need will be provided to all. This powerful aspect with Saturn (Economy) and Neptune (Spirituality) inspires Humanity to transform our perceptions of what we feel we need in order to feel a sense of safety and security.
The fourth of 5 exact aspects of the ongoing Saturn / Uranus opposition will be on April 26, 2010, less than 2 days before our next Full Moon. Not until the energies of this aspect have been exhausted will the Global community begin to experience a full, economic recovery. I’ve expressed concerns that the economic rally we have observed may at this time be only a false positive; let us remain to be mindful what we are being inspired by the Universe to remember through this experience of economic challenges; knowing we are all connected to Spirit and when we allow the energy to move through our being, all that we need is provided for us, regardless of what comes to pass in the external world. In other words, we are remembering to “be in the World, but not of it.” Let us call to mind, as written in A Course in Miracles; “Today, I have received the gifts of the Universe.”

Pisces New Moon
March 15, 2010
5:01 PM, EDT
Washington, D.C.
Our next New Moon is in the sign Pisces; the sign of Spiritualism and the higher Spiritual powers as well as Spiritual Love; and the sign of somnambulism and sleep. Look to the placement of the New Moon in your natal chart and the aspects it forms to the points in your chart to implement these planetary potentials in a more individual manner.
Accompanying the Sun and Moon at 25 degrees of Pisces, we have Mercury and Uranus at 26 degrees of the final sign of the Zodiac. This multi, astral-body configuration in late degree of this profoundly abstract constellation indicates, on the collective level, that there is a beginning to an ending of a significant cycle of evolution regarding Humanity’s understanding of itself from the Spiritual perspective. Hopefully, Humanity is choosing to progress to a higher level of consciousness. The New Moon chart cast in the United States places these four items, as well as Venus in Aires, in the 8th house, indicating a powerful and strong connection to the Spirit World is becoming more intense, specifically here in the United States, where that connection is very much needed.
Saturn retrograde at 1 degree of Libra forms an opposition, or “Full Moon” aspect to the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Uranus and widely to Venus in Pisces. This aspect allows us to see what possible obstacles we create which may prevent us, individually, from moving forward with our Spiritual evolution so that we may redirect our efforts towards a manner of thinking which will allow us to create the condition of Spirituality we would choose to experience. Mercury in Pisces allows for an understanding of the working of our subconscious mind and offers a disposition towards thinking in a Spiritual manner. Uranus in Pisces presents the opportunity for profound spiritual awareness as well a providing a multifaceted understanding to the workings of the subconscious mind. All of which offers Humanity the opportunity for the beginnings of an existence firmly grounded in a Spiritual existence. This understanding can offset any negativity, which may come to pass in the physical world over the course of the next few years.
We must create this condition of unity with that which created all things within our own personal realm so that we can radiate this sense of harmony with the “All That Is” through our world and Humanity.
The Vernal Equinox is set for March 20, 2010 at 1:33 PM, EDT. With the Sun at 0 degrees of Aries, we have Saturn opposite the Sun at 1 degree of Libra and Pluto at 5 degrees of Capricorn, squaring Saturn and the Sun forming a challenging and dynamic, t-square aspect. This challenging aspect, as well as others, indicates a continual increase in the Earth energies. The frequency of Earthquakes will continue to be on the rise, especially from now through the summer months. Through to the end of March, we are at a very volatile time and we may hear the news of another significant Earthquake, and as I mentioned in my “2010 Potentials,” a terror attack.
Let us be mindful to envision our world filled with Love and peace, prosperity and harmony. We can certainly choose to create a better reality that radiates from the condition of Awareness of our “Self” and our ever-present connection to the Source that created all things here on Earth and in the Universe.
Blessed be.

Aquarius New Moon
February 13, 2010
9:52:PM, EST
Washington, D.C.
Our next New Moon is in the sign Aquarius; the sign of the altruist and the Humanitarian, the sign of genius and of Cyprus. As with all Lunation’s and planetary activity, look to its exact placement in your charts and the aspects created to understand how to implement these energies.
Nebulous Neptune at 26 degrees of Aquarius is conjunct the Sun and Moon at 25 degrees of the 11th sign; this late degree conjunction by the planet of Spirituality, the higher Spiritual powers and Spiritualism (Neptune) in the sign of the scientist (Aquarius) conjunct the Lunation may unfold events which further emphasize the coming together of science and Spirituality–something I have predicted and discussed over the course of the last several years.
Another possibility of this planetary configuration is an unusual number of UFO sightings and reports and the unveiling of potential evidence of a UFO. The planetoid Chiron is also in this mixture at 26 Aquarius indicating the power of healing through Spiritual practices is favored at this time.
Jupiter and Venus are conjunct in Pisces at 6 and 3 degrees, respectively; the benefics (Jupiter & Venus) form an opportunistic sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. Into this equation, we have Mars at 4 degrees of Leo creating a Yod or “Finger of God” aspect along with the aforementioned 3 planets. There is a second Yod aspect at this Lunation as well, amplifying the power potential of this Lunation; the aforementioned “Finger of God” aspect points to Mars, the second to Venus. To the Jupiter / Venus conjunction, along with the inconjunct from Mars, we have Saturn at 3 degrees of Libra forming a sextile to Mars and an inconjunct to Jupiter and Venus.
The Yod which points to the Venus / Jupiter conjunction in Pisces offers opportunity for abundance through Spirituality. Once we become aware that we are all connected to the Source that created all things we shall experience the condition of prosperity and abundance knowing that all which is required for Humanity to survive is provided; once we allow the abundance to come into our realities. These New Moon energies offer Humanity the opportunity to incorporate this understanding into its consciousness. Saturn in Libra forms an inconjunct to Venus and Jupiter offering Humanity the opportunity to transform the manner in which it does business to a method that exudes a more Spiritual approach and the transformative inconjunct from Mars in Leo give the Venus / Jupiter conjunction an energetic flair.
The Yod, which points to Mars in Leo, offers the opportunity for one to become resourceful and dynamic through creativity. We have come to this Earthly understanding to experience ourselves as creative beings–and the creativity begins with our thoughts. Mercury (thoughts) in Aquarius (abstract thought) forms an opposition–Full Moon aspect–to the creative placement of Mars in Leo. These aspects inspire us to become creative and dynamic in our thought process; in Aquarius, we can become much more aware of how we create our realities from our thoughts through an abstract understanding of our thoughts. Saturn in Libra forms a harmonistic trine to Mercury in Aquarius offering disciplined ease in the process of understanding this thought process on a deeper level.
