Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, Sept. 30th

After two rousing days over the weekend, the cosmos appears to be letting down its guard a little on the last day of the month. Instead, of foisting on humanity tumultuous happenings via planetary alignments at cross purposes, there is a lighter touch in the early going as Venus in Scorpio forms an inspirational, 72-degree contact with Juno in Aquarius (6:03AM). You may recall that only 16 days ago, these two celestial bodies squared off in a 90-degree clash. Now they are working together in tandem — to facilitate feminine interests, reinforce creative artistic expression, and improve the quality of primary partnerships. A little over nine hours later, ingenious ideas are inundating the brightest minds in the human kingdom via a harmonious trine in fire signs between Pallas in Leo and Uranus in Aries (3:22PM). If you ever wanted to sign up for an advanced course in problem-solving and strategic-thinking, this is the right moment. However, just when it seems the universal powder keg appears to be dry or empty, along comes the monthly Moon-Mars conjunction in Leo (7:04PM) — repeating the same union in Leo that happened between these two celestial bodies on the first day of September. While the lunar orb merging with the red planet can equate with acts of faith, courage, stamina or heroism, it is just as likely to push some individuals toward reckless behavior, angry encounters with dear ones, and irrational displays of temper. Knowing the shadow side involved in this sky pattern can help you defuse volatile conditions before they heat up toward a firestorm. The month ends in questionable fashion as the Moon squares Venus (9:49PM) — beginning a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 11:53AM tomorrow when the Moon enters Virgo. Be sensitive and kindhearted to family members on the ropes overnight. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 29th

As mentioned at the end of yesterday’s calendar entry, the Sun and Jupiter are vying for supremacy during their off-kilter, 150-degree encounter (12:28AM PST). The Sun can never go retrograde from the Earth’s vantage point, but Jupiter — like all the other major planets and asteroids — can appear to go into reverse each year and does so for 3 to 4 months at a time. Jupiter went retrograde in Gemini on October 4, 2012 and won’t return to forward motion until January 30, 2013. Since Jupiter is the largest planet, it has much to do with large-scale professional plans and big business ventures. Trying to push these kinds of activities ahead right now may be foolish because these two biggest celestial bodies in our solar system are at odds with each other. In addition, the Moon in Cancer is back in one of its lengthy void sessions and won’t step out of that characteristic until 11:46PM PST tonight. In the meantime, tensions may be afflicting the communication and transportation realms as Mercury squares Pallas (7:27AM PST). Snafus and mix-ups can increase mental tensions. Nevertheless, if you want to try and tweak this Mercury-Pallas interaction in order to be a savvy problem-solver, you have several hours within which to reveal your versatile skills. Welcome the end of the void lunar cycle in Cancer (11:46PM PST) as the Moon enters heart-centered Leo — the Moon’s zodiacal placement through the start of the New Year.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 9th

As mentioned at the close of yesterday’s calendar entry, this day begins with a Sun-Vesta polarity (12:00AM PST) — stretching from Sagittarius to Gemini. Safety and security themes, investment matters, insurance rates and coverage, home and hearth, sisterhoods and turf wars are in the spotlight. This can signify a nerve-racking beginning to this 24-hour time-period as these two celestial bodies are pulling on either side of the Earth. Yes, there can be illumination pouring through, but the Moon remains void in Libra until 1:52PM PST while the lunar orb makes parallels to Neptune (3:29AM PST) and Saturn (3:37AM PST). This reminds you of Saturday’s Saturn-Neptune parallel that can either produce a fantastic wave of enlightenment or a blanket of confusion and chaos. Strive to increase your productivity in arts, crafts and hobbies when the Moon in late-Libra forms a trine with Ceres in late-Gemini (11:55AM PST). The Moon leaves void mode in Libra by entering the fixed, power sign of Scorpio (1:52PM PST). Over the next 2+ days, don your detective garb to solve family mysteries and ferret out old secrets. Get to the root of persistent problems, fears and phobias. While a Moon-Neptune flowing trine (2:51PM PST) can be a boost for psychological or spiritual studies, you may need to go into defensive mode as Mars makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Vesta (3:13PM PST) while Mercury makes a similar, 150-degree tie with Ceres (6:40PM PST). To have Mars and Mercury joust with two key asteroids can equate with a rising tide of emotional stress, declining productivity, and new worries about business-investment matters. Inject some good humor and laughter into the picture overnight since the Moon is approaching its monthly rendezvous with Saturn (forming exactly at 2:22AM PST tomorrow) and any lunar convergence with the beautiful, but chilly ringed-planet can lead to a temporary bout of self-doubt and pessimism.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 30

If you were ever looking for a sabbatical away from cares, woes and worries, this is your 24-hour time-period to fly the coop and seek peace and quiet wherever possible. A main reason to get away from business-as-usual is due to the very long void lunar uncertainty cycle in Taurus that began yesterday, continues all of today, and then ends tomorrow at 11:41AM PDT. Every so often, the Moon enters what seems like a bottomless pit of void activity — when the Moon has ceased making its major alignments to other celestial bodies and seems to be drifting along more aimlessly than usual. However, the void Moon experience can be filled with spiritual studies, creative arts and crafts, and plenty of fun and games. The key is not to set up unrealistic expectations or force your will on others. Think more about going with the flow and simplifying your life. Today and tomorrow also constitute a 48-hour time-span to distribute the enlightening vibrations received during yesterday’s revelatory Full Moon experience. The main alignment of the day clocks in at 3:31AM PDT when the Sun and Pluto orchestrate a supportive, 60-degree liaison. Although this aspect occurs early, it can stay influential for most of the day. Learn more about your core values and what makes you tick — deep down inside. Hit the psychology and metaphysical books with a vengeance. Prepare for a shift by Ceres in Cancer into retrograde motion tomorrow.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 17

If you are feeling somewhat sluggish and moody, chalk it up to the continuation of the void Moon in Scorpio. Engaging in exercise routines, favorite hobbies, arts and crafts may be the secret key that leads you back to wellness — particularly as the Moon parallels Mercury (8:55AM PDT). However, Pluto is playing the proverbial spoiler when this planet that rules over the underworld and extreme behavior patterns forms a parallel with the Moon (4:15PM PDT). Throwing your weight around and pulling strings to get your way on the job can boomerang against you. Meanwhile, the Moon finally leaves void status in Scorpio by entering upbeat, fiery Sagittarius (5:27PM PDT). Fun, games and sports are highlighted over the next 48 hours. Pluto returns to the fray a few hours later on behalf of progress and in-depth studies as the Sun makes an inspirational, 72-degree link to this distant celestial body (8:59PM PDT). Get ready for a cavalcade of alignments tomorrow when five stellar contacts strive for supremacy in the early hours.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 30

The 48 hours after a Full Moon constitute a time-period to distribute the enlightening energy-field just received at the monthly solar-lunar high-tide rendezvous. Once you disengage from yesterday’s intense war zone, consider focusing your attention on serious studies or research projects as Mercury parallels Saturn at 8:37AM PDT. If you are more adventurous, then accumulate many of your recent dreams and visions into some kind of literary format as Ceres trines Neptune in water signs (8:50AM PDT). This latter aspect may also provide you with inspiration concerning your dietary and nutritional needs. Keep on sailing with the winds of productivity at your back despite the challenge of a 90-degree relationship between Ceres and Pallas (1:18PM PDT). Sometimes a square between certain celestial bodies can provide the necessary spark to move you to vital action which vaults you away from sitting on your laurels. Tune into the expansive and optimistic vibes that are always available when the Moon in Aries makes a supportive, 60-degree tie with providential Jupiter in Gemini (1:41PM PDT). Gear up for a happy arrival of October tomorrow morning as Mercury and Venus both get on the bandwagon by creating two uplifting alignments a piece. A little celebrating this evening allows the shift from September to October to be a sterling one.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 2

Always appreciate these kind of days when the universe is relatively quiescent since the next 72 hours after today is filled with an explosion of stellar aspects that can create an enormous wave of discord around the globe. Right now the main energy-field is focused on the Moon in the first sign of the zodiac — fiery Aries — and uniting with Uranus (1:00PM PDT) and Pallas (1:49PM PDT). These two celestial bodies have a lot in common in that they both stimulate the human capacity for genius and mental brilliance. They already united in Aries back in May and will do so again on September 5 and then in late January 2013. If you have a rebellious streak, desire to do things outside the box or in an eccentric manner, then today’s cosmic set-up may be highly stimulating. Board, card and word games can be a blast. Problem-solving, strategy sessions and advanced research in the fields of science and metaphysics are highlighted. Stop trying to change others or make the world a different place; lift up your own consciousness or simply live more fully in the moment to discover your oneness to divinity.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 25th

Your abilities as a problem-solver and strategist skyrocket – courtesy of a supportive, 60-degree alliance between Mercury and Pallas (12:17AM PDT). When these two mentally-oriented celestial bodies form a positive liaison, all kinds of intellectual and intuitive breakthroughs are possible. As mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry, we are in a rather quiescent time-period relative to cosmic alignments as major sky patterns are temporarily on the back burner. Nevertheless, today can still be tricky to maneuver through easily since the Moon goes void at 7:35AM PDT during an upbeat Moon-Jupiter 60-degree rapport. The void lunar uncertainty cycle remains in effect until 3:12PM PDT when the Moon enters fiery, warmhearted Leo. In the midst of the void Moon conundrum, Mercury squares off with dreamy Neptune (2:38PM PDT). It is wise to avoid key signings, legal matters and making long-term commitments a few hours before and after this 90-degree clash. You may be able to tweak this planetary link-up into something more favorable by experimenting in the realms of photography, film and video work, painting, music and dance. Inspirations are hitting some extraordinary high notes this evening as a Sun-Mercury parallel (9:52PM PDT) closely coincides with a supportive, 60-degree rapport between the Moon and Mercury (10:32PM PDT).

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, Feb. 16th

Put some of those recent challenges behind you as the cosmos gives you something to cheer about when Mercury unites with healing-master Chiron (6:15AM PST) shortly before Mercury teams up in a supportive, 60-degree link with King of the Gods Jupiter (8:08AM PST). Considering that the Moon is still having a joy-fest in adventuresome Sagittarius, this morning’s Mercury-Chiron and Mercury-Jupiter contacts are a pleasure-inducing duo. Give worries and tensions the old-heave. Enjoy your favorite games and sports for an exhilarating change of pace. Think more about pursuing mind-enhancing literary and educational projects especially as the Sun and Moon collaborate well during a supportive, 60-degree liaison (5:09PM PST) and as the largest two celestial bodies in our solar system – the Sun and Jupiter – forge an illuminating contra-parallel (9:02PM PST). However, this latter aspect actually happens right at the close of a void lunar uncertainty cycle in Sagittarius – running from 8:04PM PST until 9:04PM PST. Don’t overdo a good thing during the lunar twilight zone. Once the void time-span is over, Capricorn Moon is your lunar presence for the next 2+ days. Place a serious focus on climbing the ladder of success within your professional realm. You will have some celestial back-up to assist you on both Friday and Saturday.

Cosmic Calendar for Friday, Feb. 3rd

In-depth studies and investigations are promoted via a Mercury-Pluto parallel (9:11AM PST). Parallels and contra-parallels are alignments taking place as celestial bodies move north or south of the Celestial Equator. Their potency can be equal to the usual aspects that are calculated via the zodiacal circle. Mercury and Pluto are hooking up as a dynamic duo this morning because they are both 19+ degrees south of the Celestial Equator. Meanwhile, as mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry, the hard-to-grasp, elusive and far-out planet Neptune enters Pisces (11:04AM PST) for its official 14-year journey in this last, hard-to-understand zodiacal sign. If Neptune in Pisces sounds vaguely familiar, it is because from April 4 to August 4 last year, this planet and sign offered you an introductory lesson on what the next 14 years might contain. Were you listening to and tuning into that solar systemic, galactic and universal dissertation in 2011? If not, you now have a golden opportunity to dust off your old Beatles records (relating to the trip to India and the aftermath) and get back into the Be Here Now vibes of Richard Alpert (aka Baba Ram Dass) in order to comprehend the reality behind all of our many materialistic illusions. Strengthen your creative imagination and psychic sensitivity. Be more compassionate and empathic to the truly needy and disenfranchised. Experiment with a digital or video camera. Sing, dance and make merry as major planetary shifts don’t happen that often. Finish old business later on when the Moon in Gemini is in a void uncertainty cycle from 9:07PM PST to 10:05PM PST. Once the Moon enters its home base of watery Cancer (10:05PM PST), family and nostalgic themes run rampant, and the lunar orb makes an instant, harmonious trine to Neptune in Pisces (10:07PM PST). Keep a notebook by your bed overnight to record nocturnal soul-wanderings.

Eyes of the Wolf Spell (Wolf Moon)

Eyes of the Wolf Spell

(Wolf Moon)

As the first full moon after the winter solstice or Yule, the Wolf Moon is one of the most important of the high moons. A full moon occurs when the sun and the moon are aligned on opposite sides of the earth. This alignment of the two celestial bodies has a strong effect on the earth. This alignment of the two celestial bodies has a strong effect on the earth, producing a time when energy is high. This is why full moon rituals can be incredibly powerful times for doing magick.

When looking through the eyes of the wolf, the idea is to perceive the true nature of people, events and experiences. Expand your perception and awareness using the instincts of the wolf. The wolf is part of a pack that use their knowledge and wits to survive a time when the earth is cold and barren.

This is also when new patterns are conceived, setting the stage for what is to come. This is also the ideal time for foretelling the future, clairvoyance, and divination practices.

At midnight, begin by drawing a circle of light. This is done by standing at your altar and pounding the stick end of your wand on the altar nine times. Pick up you athame and point it toward the north point of your circle. Starting and ending in the north, draw a magickal circle of light clockwise around the circle. Next, call in the elements of earth, air, fire and water.

Standing in the middle of the circle, call in the powers of the wolf:

“On this full moon night at this hour

I call now upon the ancient animal powers

To guide me in the ways of the wolf

Where instinct and wit prevail

Through darkness, wind, rain and hail

I am the wolf, the wolf is me

So be it! Blessed be!

As you enjoy your evening, imagine seeing through the eyes of the wolf. Imagine dreaming with the eyes of the wolf. In the morning pull up the circle and thank the elements. Also than the wolf for its guidance and power.

Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, January 24th

It may be difficult to get your bearings on the first day after Mars has turned retrograde. The fact is that Mars isn’t truly retrograding at all; it is virtually motionless and on the verge of reversing direction. The great reality is that when any celestial body is retrograde, it is moving in counterpoint to the motion of the Sun and Moon – which, from our vantage point, always appear to be moving forward in the zodiac. Therefore, Mars becomes somewhat of a maverick, outlaw, rebel or rabble-rouser when viewed from the solar, lunar and earthly perspectives now that it is no longer direct in motion. Thus, acting in an unruly fashion and calling undue attention to yourself are out-of-bounds – unless you are deliberately looking for trouble. Intensity and shock waves are still on center stage because the Sun parallels distant Pluto (1:22AM PST) while Ceres unites with Uranus in Aries (3:08AM PST). The unknown may temporarily be in the catbird seat and circumstances beyond your control are running the show. Hope that you can somehow be an expert problem-solver and strategist when the Moon in Aquarius unites with Pallas (2:03PM PST). Strive for a loving and peaceful interaction with a significant other this evening during the Moon-Venus parallel (8:31PM PST).

Cosmic Calendar for Monday, Jan. 23

With last night’s New Moon in Aquarius in your hip pocket, it may seem as if it is clear sailing ahead – as each solar-lunar union offers a forward push for the next 29+ days. However, even though Mercury and Mars form a flowing trine of 120-degrees in earth signs this morning (3:17AM PST) – potentially bolstering communications and construction projects across the board – everyone is about to deal with a possibly volatile Mars station at 24 degrees of Virgo (4:55PM PST) where the red planet shifts from direct to reverse until April 13. While our very accurate, scientifically-calculated ephemerides give us the exact timing of the Mars shift, this entire day (not to mention the last few days and the next 48+ hours ahead) is under the aegis of the red planet gone wild. Stations or the apparent stopping points of celestial bodies are tremendously significant because the planetary archetypes are then thrust upon us – often in an unrelenting manner. Thus, Mars motionless equates with a vast increase in themes such as courage, leadership, passion, sensuality, desire, athletic prowess, independence, but also selfishness, egocentricity, rash acts, immature and adolescent attitudes, as well as violence, anger, aggression and volatility. Accidents, fevers, burns and inflammations are much more common when Mars is singled out via the cosmic players who throw their weight around in our solar system. Do all in your power to steer clear of temperamental individuals, avoid dealing with legal matters and signings, and remember to drive defensively. The good news about Mars retrograde is that you can review and re-evaluate many of your behavior patterns – on the personality level – over the next 80 days.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, Dec. 18th

The arrival of Libra Moon (12:07AM PST) each month usually signals a golden opportunity to smooth over relationship troubles and to explore your gifts as a creative artist. The challenge right now is that Venus in Capricorn forms a square to Saturn in Libra (6:19AM PST). This is known in the astrological terminology as a mutual reception because Venus is located in a Saturn-ruled sign (Capricorn) while Saturn is located in a Venus-ruled sign (Libra). This can be helpful and supportive if the mathematical connection between the two celestial bodies is harmonious. However, the square of 90-degrees is usually more frictional and abrasive in its nature. The bottom line is that you can still make a couple of great leaps forward in strengthening the bonds of a primary partnership and tapping into your artistic treasure-trove of skills is do-able. Whether or not, you will feel totally happy and confident during the process is questionable. And some rough edges – on the emotional plane in particular – are likely to arise. Cautionary and conservative vibes coming from the beautiful ringed planet are also strong around 5:00PM PST as the Moon parallels Saturn. By tomorrow, a Sun-Saturn 60-degree tie will combine with the monthly Moon-Saturn zodiacal union to really ramp up the serious and profound energy-field associated with this planet that has much to do with focus, hard work, structure, form, responsibility and climbing up the ladder of worldly success.
