Birth Chart, Astrology

Each planet has a unique effect on certain aspects of your life, and when you map those movements over the placements of the planets in your birth chart, you uncover a variety of opportunities and challenges that are specific to you. You might be surprised at how powerful and impactful some of these further off, seemingly slower planets are in your life!

There are many online forecasts to choose from, but what makes these yearly Astrology predictions different from others is the level of personalized insight in it. Written by Master Astrologers Rick Levine and Jeff Jawer, your unique forecast is based on long-term astrological cycles and major planetary transits — the ones that reveal energetic turning points in your natal chart.

In addition to an overview of the entire yearly period you choose, the following types of forecasts are included in your report:

Monthly Mood Cycles
How will the Moon influence you as it moves through its monthly lunar phases? The New Moon is a time of beginnings that generally favors initiative and exploration, while the Full Moon revealed crises, breakthroughs, and opportunities. The sign it is in at each of the major transition points will affect you differently depending on your own birth chart.

Love and Relationships
More than any other planet, Venus determines your sensitivity and receptivity to love. Venus is a fast-moving inner planet, which means it typically creates many transits every month. This Astrology reading reveals the most significant of your upcoming Venus transits, helping you maximize these cosmic love cycles as they’re happening.

Action and Initiative
Mars shows how you initiate activities, express aggression, and push yourself in new directions. The transits of Mars energize your life in dramatic ways, fueling your sense of initiative and affecting your temper and other emotional impulses. This guidance will help you apply your intention to overcome obstacles, as well as define what you’re willing to fight for and how you’ll do it.

Opportunities and Expansion
The transits of the largest planet, Jupiter, reveal the biggest ways for you to expand your spheres of influence in the coming months. Not only will you get a broader understanding of yourself and your world, you’ll be able to pinpoint where your gains come through your own efforts and with the support of others.

Challenges and Responsibilities
Saturn, the planet of limitation, often describes situations where we’ve gone as far as we can. Its transits define problems clearly and indicate where hard work and commitment will produce noticeable results. The transits of Saturn contained in this astrology forecast shed light on personal growth opportunities, as well as ways you can turn weaknesses into strengths.

Surprises and Breakthroughs
Revolutionary Uranus indicates the freedom that comes from using inventiveness and originality, rather than sticking to familiar habits Where do you break the rules? What patterns will be broken down? What will you be forced to let go of? You’ll gain a better understanding of the sudden and surprising changes you might not have seen coming.

Inspiration and Transformation
These two outermost planets — Neptune and Pluto — represent long cycles of major change. The transits of these planets have long-lasting effects because they move so slowly, indicating cycles of major change on deep levels. Neptune dissolves old boundaries, while Pluto eliminates people, situations, or attitudes that have outlived their purpose. This report brings attention to the very essence of your needs, helping release the incredible ability you have for transformation and living up to your highest potential.

Your psychic abilities can be recharged as the sun in Scorpio trines Chiron in Pisces (2:57am). Feelings of déjà vu and telepathic thoughts connected to dear ones are more likely to occur when Chiron is prominent. Soul-sister ties and empowerment of main partnerships are highlighted while Juno trines Vesta in earth signs (8:58am). Be on top of your game with key business and professional interests as a Pallas-Saturn square (12:10pm) can test anyone’s nerves. See the shape of things to come as the moon makes its monthly rendezvous with unconventional Uranus (2:47pm). During the following 57 minutes after this live-wire moon conjunction with Uranus, the lunar orb is void until the moon enters earthy Taurus (3:44pm). Today and tomorrow constitute the 48-hour time-period before Thursday’s powerful full moon.

The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Carista Invocation

May there be Peace in this house.
(Response: “May there be peace in this house!”)
Peace can be a hard mistress.
The daily round of the ordinary,
The simple turn of day and night and day
The presence of the same souls
Can come to be like a shadow on the sun,
And yet Peace still demands
That we find a way to move past
That ordinariness
And all the thousand thorns and briars
And bring Peace into the house.
(Response: “May there be peace in this house!”)
Take the hand of your sister, your brother,
The one who shares your roof, your table,
The ground you walk on,
Whose feet know the boards as well as your own,
And swear to find a way
To bring peace into the space between you.
(Response: “May there be peace in this house!”)

Chant: 
My brother, my heart, my sister, my soul;
My family, my life, come in from the cold;
My sister, my heart, my brother, my soul;
My family, my life, that makes this life whole.

(Instead of a ritual, this period of time should be used to mediate and address problems between members of the community, with emphasis on peacemaking and compromise and useful solutions. At the end of the meeting, all share cakes and tea.)

[Pagan Book of Hours]

Good morning, my sweets! How is everyone doing today? I hope great. Getting ready to travel? Having family over? Stressing out about cooking Thanksgiving Dinner? Well, I actually hate to cook. I don’t know if anyone else is like that but….I run across something this morning I would like to share with you(just in case you are like me, lol!). It is a simple meditation that hopefully make your cooking experience a little bit more pleasant. Keyword, “hopefully.”

Rather than viewing cooking as a chore, treat it as an opportunity to practice the meditative technique of mindfulness, or full alertness to the present moment. You will find that it makes cooking more enjoyable and enriching. As you prepare and cook the food, feast your senses on the hues, shapes, textures and smells of the ingredients–for example, the rich golden sheen of the turkey, the honeyed perfume of a pumpkin. Perform each action with deliberation and care as though partaking in a ritual act. Before serving the meal, give thanks for the food and the presence of the guests with who you will share it.

If that don’t work, do like I do. Wipe the sweat from your brow. Throw the food on the table and tell them how you slaved over a hot stove all day and all night. So you better eat up or else I am going to beat you with a drumstick, lol! Just kidding, I wouldn’t beat anyone with a drumstick or would I?

Now let’s get to work.

Love ya,

Lady A

*An afterthought* When you are preparing that turkey, stop for a moment and thank the turkey and honor its spirit. You can say it silently and it doesn’t have to be any elaborate, just a simple thank you will do. In my case, I always apologize to the turkey. I know it sounds crazy but I do. I apologize for the turkey having to be killed so we can eat. I honor the turkey’s spirit by saying a little prayer to the Gods to thank them for providing us with the turkey that we have to eat. I also ask them to bless the turkey’s spirit. After that is said I light a small sweet smelling candle in honor of the turkey and the feast to come. With the blessing said, the spirit of the turkey honored and the sweet smelling candle burning, you will forget you hate cooking and all the work you have put into preparing the Thanksgiving feast. Give it a try and see what a difference it makes this year. Put a little Celtic flare in your Thanksgiving this year!
