Thursday

Jupiter’s (Thor’s) day

The name is derived from Old English and Middle English Thuresday (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þorsdagr) meaning “Thor’s Day”. Thunor, Donar (German, Donnerstag) and Thor are derived from the name of the Germanic god of thunder, Thunraz, equivalent to Jupiter in the interpretatio romana.

In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter, who was the god of sky and thunder. In Latin, the day was known as Iovis Dies, “Jupiter’s Day”. In Latin, the genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis/Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Sardinian jòvia, Catalan dijous, and Romanian joi. This is also reflected in the p-Celtic Welsh dydd Iau.

The astrological and astronomical sign of the planet Jupiter is sometimes used to represent Thursday.

Since the Roman god Jupiter was identified with Thunor (Norse Thor in northern Europe), most Germanic languages name the day after this god: Torsdag in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, Hósdagur/Tórsdagur in Faroese, Donnerstag in German or Donderdag in Dutch. Finnish and Northern Sami, both non-Germanic (Uralic) languages, uses the borrowing “Torstai” and “Duorastat”. In the extinct Polabian Slavic language, it was perundan, Perun being the Slavic equivalent of Thor.

There are a number of modern names imitating the naming of Thursday after an equivalent of “Jupiter” in local tradition. In most of the languages of India, the word for Thursday is Guruvar- var meaning day and guru being the style for Bṛhaspati, guru to the gods and regent of the planet Jupiter. In Thai, the word is Wan Pharuehatsabodi—referring to the Hindu deity Bṛhaspati, also associated with Jupiter. En was an old Illyrian deity and in his honor in the Albanian language Thursday is called “Enjte”. In the Nahuatl language, Thursday is Tezcatlipotōnal meaning “day of Tezcatlipoca”.

Let’s Talk Witch – The Gods

wiccan in the woods

The Gods

 

Witchy practices often focus on the goddess, especially during lunar rituals such as full moon and new moon. But let us not forget her consort, the god, the masculine half of the deity. Like the goddess, the god comes in many different forms, with many different names, and he changes shape throughout the course of the year.

We draw on the same mythological pantheons for the names we call the gods as we do for our goddesses. Greek and Roman gods are often well known (Neptune, Saturn, Pluto, Mars, and Mercury… now where have I heard those before?), as are some Celtic, Norse, and Egyptian gods (among others). Even the names of the days of the week come from the names of Norse gods, such as Thor (Thor’s day became Thursday) and Woden (Wednesday).

Zeus was the father of the Greek gods and ruled from high atop Mount Olympus. (And when they say he was the father of the gods, they aren’t kidding-the guy seriously got around.) The modern-day Olympics are based on a Greek festival that was held in his honor.

Jupiter was Zeus’s Roman counterpart, and like Zeus, he was known for throwing thunderbolts bolts at those who pissed him off. This was true of Thor as well, who was a god of justice. I guess you can figure out what happened to those who didn’t play nice … (ouch, sizzle).

Many Witches like to call on gods from the Celtic pantheon, especially Cernunnos and Herne, both of whom were usually depicted as the figure of a man with stag’s antlers. It is likely that these gods were the origin, at least in part, of the Green Man and Horned God that play such an important part in Pagan worship. We also call on the sun god Lugh, especially on Lugh- nasadh, the holiday we celebrate in his honor.

Apollo was the Greek sun god who was also a god of healing. Traditionally, the sun tended to be the domain of the gods, while the moon fell under the influence of the goddess. This may explain why the god dies during the darkest time of the year and then is reborn at Yule, when the light is beginning to return.

As with the goddess, some Witches call the god by one particular name, or many, or simply use “the god.” It is worth taking the time to explore the many myths and stories surrounding the Pagan gods. Not only are the stories interesting in their own right, but you never know when some god will pop out and call your name, informing you that from that time on, you may call him-and he will answer.

*New* Your Monthly Horoscopes for November 2015

 

 

 

 

Monthly Horoscopes: November 2015

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

Relationships are in strong focus this month, dear Aries, with the Sun and Mercury in your intimacy sector for the first three weeks of November, and both Venus and Mars moving into your partnership zone.

However, you also have a strong, continuing theme in which work, daily routines, and health endeavors are highlighted. The first week of November is especially good for bringing new, more creative energy to your daily life, or the work you do and services you provide. This is not the time for coloring within the lines – entertain new possibilities, perhaps involving taking a friend or partner along as you pursue fitness goals, or looking around you for different ideas and input from people you may not have thought to consult in the past. You can be working especially hard for your earnings these days, but you’re also finding ways to inject routine work or daily life with more excitement.

The New Moon on the 11th is very useful for getting started on organizing your financial affairs, for seeking out support of the material or emotional variety, and for starting a new plan for emotional health and wellness. Generally, it’s better to feel the energy of the New Moon and intuit your next move, and then wait a few days to put plans into motion. The 10-13 is strong for partnering, career efforts, appreciation from others, and important new revelations.

Venus and Mars moving out of this sector of your chart on the 8th and 12th respectively doesn’t pull your interests away completely. In fact, Jupiter is here to stay for another ten months, and a new guest, the North Node of the Moon, is also here for a year. You’re encouraged to play with new ideas for work, and you can find much to enjoy in the process. It’s also a time to focus on your health and well-being. A visit to the doctor can be more helpful than you know.

Beginning in the second week of November and even more so in the third, you’re focusing on your social life, partnering, connecting, and exploring new adventures or experiences and ideas. Pulling yourself away from work and tasks can be of great benefit now. Relationships enliven. Partners can be distracting at times, but thoroughly helpful much of the time.

The last week of the month is trickier for all signs with Saturn and Neptune forming the first of three square aspects, and both the Sun and Mercury activating (and possibly aggravating)  this challenging influence. For you, there could be issues to deal with regarding independence and freedom, legal matters, matters of confinement or hiatus, or the need to care for others. You could be challenged to mature more quickly than you had anticipated, or to face certain areas of neglect or waste. Be proactive – you probably have an idea which areas of life you’ve been avoiding and that need some tidying.

The Full Moon on the 25th brings your attention to a communications project or errands that need immediate handling. It’s a generally busy time, but find some space for relaxation.

Taurus

Taurus

November begins with stellar influences for your love life, dear Taurus. If relationships are your focus now, you have strong energy for bringing more excitement, pride, and fun to your interactions.

Your ruler, Venus, continues to travel rather closely to Mars. On the 2nd, they align, bringing building tension to a head. After this time, you’ll be less impulsive and impatient, and this can point to a more enjoyable experience of this creative, romantic, and sexy combination. Venus and Mars are moving through your sector of romance, entertainment, and creative expression until the 8th and 12th, respectively, and this frames you in a very nice way. You’re looking good and feeling good.

Boosting your relating sensibilities further is the presence of both the Sun and Mercury in your partnership sector for the better part of the first three weeks of November. You are attracting strong and intelligent people into your life, and you’re also taking more pride in your close relationships. This motivates you to put forward a solid effort when it comes to relating in positive, rewarding ways.

If you want to start fresh or make changes in your relationship state or status, the period after the New Moon on the 11th is strong for setting your intentions. The 10-13 is a good period for coming together with others, working towards your goals, strengthening a relationship or your own resolve, and communicating in imaginative ways.

Finances are tied to your relationships with others. Paying a little more attention to a partner’s endeavors can be important this month.

Venus and Mars move into your work and health zone on the 8th and 12th, respectively, and while this move takes some of the focus away from entertainment and creative expression, Jupiter and the North Node continue to emphasize these things for many months to come. You are encouraged to find your creative voice, to seek out activities that you truly enjoy, and to discover and share your unique talents. There are plenty of rewards for you here.

As well, from the 8-12 forward, you’ll enjoy a better work-play balance in your life as you find more enjoyment in your work, taking care of your daily life, improving your routines, and tending to health matters.

Mercury and the Sun move into your intimacy zone on the 20th and 22nd, turning your attention to commitments, finances, shared resources, and deepening of feelings. However, the last week of the month brings some hurdles to jump. It will be important to work on a solid plan for organizing your money. You’ll also want to deal with some of the trickier elements of your relationships instead of letting problem areas grow. Some of you may need to deal with addictive behaviors, difficulties with a friend, or disillusionment about a long-term goal that no longer seems quite as feasible or supported. Take things one step at a time and know that there is a solution to any problem you encounter now – be patient and open to new ideas.

Gemini

Gemini

November begins with continuing focus on home and family, as well as work and health efforts, dear Gemini. There is strong creative energy and quite a bit of animation in your personal life, with family, and around the home. The first week of the month is strong for decorating and organizing around the home, success with real estate or work from the home, bringing in new ways to enjoy entertainment on the home front, and finding creative ways to interact with the people closest to you.

This energy will continue on some level even as Venus and Mars move on from your sector of home and family, which happens on the 8th and 12th, respectively. This is because Jupiter is here to stay for ten more months, and a new guest, the North Node of the Moon is in this same sector, promising rewards for extra attention to family, personal matters, and domestic affairs.

When Venus and Mars do move on (the 8th and 12th), you’ll be up to getting out and about, making new connections, dating, and sharing your ideas and creations. This is in fact a strong time for all things romantic, creative, and fun. Hobbies can be a strong focus now. You’re also attracting positive attention, and for the romantically inclined, your personal charm is natural and strong.

You also have the Sun and Mercury bringing more pride and intelligence to your work, habits, and health in the first three weeks of November. It’s a great time to use common sense in these areas as well as to make improvements to your habits and daily routines. The week following the New Moon on the 11th is strong for launching new fitness or health programs and work projects.

Mercury and the Sun, moving close to one another all month, begin transiting your partnership sector on the 20th and 22nd, and close relationships come into strong focus. You’ll be inclined to want to pair up to make important decisions.

The last week of the month brings a Full Moon in your sign, heightening emotions and stimulating an important epiphany in your life. This can be a wonderful time for coming into touch with buried feelings. Even so, there is tricky energy surrounding this Full Moon with Saturn and Neptune forming a square aspect, suggesting a conflict or challenge to deal with. Some of you could encounter a conflict between attention to partnership and attention to long-term goals, or conflicting goals. Strains on a relationship can occur as the result of your struggle with finding a life path or defining your career. Take a good look at areas that you’ve neglected or in which there has been a lot of waste or inattention to detail, and start a plan for tidying things up.

Cancer

Cancer

November begins on a sweet note, dear Cancer. You are making pleasing impressions on others on many different levels – physically, emotionally, and mentally or verbally. This is due to Venus and Mars in your communications sector in harmony with your sign, and the Sun and Mercury also harmonizing with Cancer from your romance and creativity sector. These are easy, flowing influences that highlight your natural charm and encourage self-expression.

You can find a lot to enjoy when it comes to studies, personal interests, and conversations. You are motivated and engaged, and you’re also communicating in engaging, enthusiastic ways. It’s a strong time for creative writing, and expressing your ideas and affections.

Venus and Mars move out of your communications sector on the 8th and 12th, and while this area of your chart becomes a little less busy, it’s still highlighted with Jupiter here for another ten months and a new guest, the North Node of the Moon, also for the longer term, encouraging you to learn, share, and connect.

The New Moon on the 11th brings new energy and a take-charge attitude to your creative world, and in the week following it, you may be pushing forward a hobby, romance, or creative pursuit. It’s a strong time for new beginnings or fresh starts. Look for ways to express and enjoy yourself more fully.

You’ll also find that your communications are getting attention, and that for the most part, you’re getting your message across. Intuition is strong this month, and is often leading the way.

After the 8-12, there is fine energy for activities with family and on the home front. You can be feeling especially desirous of positive change in your personal life. You not only have creative vision, you’re motivated to make something more comfortable or beautiful. Enlist the help of family and make it fun.

Mercury and the Sun move into your work and health sector on the 20th and 22nd, respectively, and this turns your attention to the important systems in your life, your daily routines, work, and personal well-being. With Saturn already here early in the sign of Sagittarius, you’ll be expected to mature rather quickly, get organized, and know your priorities.

The Full Moon on the 25th can bring a blast from the past into the present. This occurs around the same time that Saturn and Neptune form an exact square, the first of three, the final two of which will occur in June and September 2016. This introduces a theme that could involve wrestling with a desire to escape the duller, seemingly lifeless elements of your routine in order to bring a little more order to your life. With Saturn in your work and health sector, this is in fact a strong time for simplifying and structuring your life, but you’ll need to make the time to do so, and this can involve boosting your faith in a higher plan to your life that you may not be fully aware of quite yet. Surrendering yourself to the unknown and getting the work that’s in front of you done – taking things step by step and day by day – can get you into a positive place. You might want to enlist the help of a partner or good friend to help with motivation levels.

Leo

Leo

You can be strongly motivated to take action that helps boost your feelings of security as well as your comfort as the month begins, dear Leo. You have wonderful support from the cosmos for these efforts. It’s a great time for bringing creative flair to business endeavors, discovering new ways of earning more, and making your home life more enjoyable and comfortable. You might also reorganize your personal space in such a way that you can think more clearly (less clutter) and produce more, and production is what you’re particularly focused on right now, as you want to see tangible results for your efforts with a lot of activity in your solar second house.

Family may be especially cooperative or willing to lend you a hand with your endeavors. The 10-13 is particularly strong for putting in the effort and for reaching out to others as well.

With the Sun and Mercury in your family and home sector for the better part of the first three weeks of November, this is a strong time for opening up conversations with family, drawing up plans and lists of priorities, and spending a little more time on activities and endeavors in the home. In the week following the New Moon here on the 11th, brand new projects can get off to a great start. This sector of your chart is not only about your base of operations, it’s also about thinking about security in the long-term. We often begin long-term career projects that sustain us and our families for many years to come with new cycles beginning in this sector.

Venus and Mars move out of your resources sector on the 8th and 12th, respectively, but while you’ll be diversifying going forward, there remains strong energy in this sector that will stick with you for at least the next ten months. Jupiter is here, and a new guest, the North Node of the Moon, begins its year-long journey, encouraging you to spend time firming up your income, developing your talents and business, and taking better care of your money and personal possessions.

From the 8-12, there is great energy for connecting and reconnecting with people around you, not only with your networks. Siblings, acquaintances, friends in the neighborhood, and classmates can be in focus. There can be wonderful new ideas and subjects that capture your interest.

Mercury and the Sun move into your sector of romance and creative expression on the 20th and 22nd, respectively. While this shift can turn your attention to entertainment and “play”, Saturn’s presence early in the sector points to a need to get serious about these things rather quickly. The need for more structure in your recreational life becomes apparent now. Saturn moves into an exact square with Neptune – an influence that will go in and out of exactitude in the coming ten months. For some of you, this can point to a struggle with some form of creative block or financial realities that make it difficult to pursue your craft. A dream or project may not be getting the support you anticipated, and motivation levels can drop off temporarily. There may also be some confusion over property and possessions, shared resources or business. For some, a love relationship can be confusing or demand commitments that you may not be ready to make. Be especially vigilant with your financial affairs.

The Full Moon on the 25th occurs at the same time that this tricky energy is reaching a head, and can bring out strong feelings surrounding a friendship or cherished dream/ideal. Pay attention to what emerges now, but wait out taking action until you are more level-headed.

November begins with continued strong focus on your own sign, dear Virgo. You are turning heads and making things happen. While you’re getting attention, you’re also quite independent now, and in fact, doing things on your own behalf has the biggest rewards now. New initiatives may be best saved for the week following the New Moon on the 11th, but you’re certainly going to be busy before then.

Finances are stronger than usual all month. Your financial ruler, Venus is in your own sign until the 8th, after which it’s in its own house. It’s a great time to pay special attention to your income, how you spend your money, and your valuables. You’ll have great ideas for how to improve your bottom line, as well as how to better make use of the resources you have. Venus is also moving rather closely with Mars all month, a secondary financial ruler in your solar chart. After the Venus-Mars alignment on the 2nd, these planets are close but separating, and this allows you to be more level-headed and less impulsive with money.

There is also an important theme around communications, learning, and siblings or acquaintances this month. Some of you could be considering working with a sibling or classmate towards an important goal, for example. You could be especially motivated to sort out your daily affairs, get going on a learning endeavor or study, and push a communications project forward. It’s a great time for gathering your facts, although there will be times when you could feel a little harried. You’re encouraged to experiment with different ideas and projects, but don’t let it get to a point where you’re living life in a nervous state. You’ll miss out on the real opportunities that are bound to present themselves, particularly from the 10-13.

Venus and Mars move out of your sign on the 8th and 12th, respectively, but some longer-term guests remain in Virgo: Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good graces, and the North Node of the Moon, which encourages independence and confidence. This is a year of confidence building and of expressing yourself in new, exciting, and positive ways.

From the 8-12, creative ideas for business and money-making enterprises are in focus. This can also be a time for discovering, developing, and putting to better use of your natural talents. You’ll be finding fabulous new ways for using the resources you already have to your advantage now. It’s a great time for getting the support you need, but perhaps more importantly, making things happen on your own. If you’ve been considering an independent venture or going into business for yourself, you’ll be strongly motivated to get going on this now.

Mercury and the Sun move into your home and family sector on the 20th and 22nd, respectively, and while this can often bring a little more calm to your life, they rather quickly meet with Saturn, already in this sector, and this can demand that attention is paid to important structures in your life. Responsibilities to family or domestic affairs can be a little weighty now. For some, there could be the need to parent or finance someone (parenting a parent for example), and possibly repairs to deal with. With Saturn forming a square with Neptune, a relationship may be strained with increased attention and responsibility to the home or family. People in your life can be draining your energy now, and you’ll need to work out a plan that helps you to better divide your attention between self-care and attention to others. The Full Moon on the 25th can bring a turning point to a career or life path matter. Take things step by step, day by day, and trust that you’ll get to all that you need to do in good time.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

There is a lot of energy that draws your attention the past as you begin the month, dear Libra, and much going on behind the scenes or within your own mind. It’s an important time for considering whether some projects and attitudes have outgrown their value. It’s also a time to listen to your own heart and intuition in order to better judge where to direct your energies, now and in the future, as changes are imminent. Venus and Mars in your privacy sector until the 8th and 12th, respectively, can leave a lot to your imagination and perhaps keep you on a fence as you consider all your options. It can also bring animation and liveliness to your private world. After the 8-12, your secret garden continues to delight, but doesn’t take up quite as much of your time and energy.

The Sun and Mercury spend the better part of the first three weeks of November in your resources sector, making it a strong month for also attending to the present when it comes to financial affairs. You’ll be taking care of business, and taking more pride in your work, possessions, and ability to earn or improve your life. You could gain some appreciation or admiration for your talents now as well. The week following the New Moon on the 11th is good for starting fresh and taking charge, particularly of a business, project, or money matters and spending habits. This is an especially rational and logical energy that can be applied to practical affairs.

Venus and Mars move into your own sign on the 8th and 12th, and this can bring your personality, charm, and attractiveness into the spotlight. Others are noticing you, and you’re feeling a little more decided and confident. This is a strong time for partnering as well. A partner or good friend tends to be on the same page as you, more attentive, and more willing to let you take the lead.

Be sure to put yourself out there, make connections and appearances, and pursue some of your personal plans, needs, and desires. This is about you, and you fully deserve some extra attention. The 10-13 is particularly strong for personal appeal and intuition. Your talents can be getting attention, or your advice may be sought out now.

Mercury and the Sun move into your communications sector on the 20th and 22nd as well, further bringing you out of your shell. This is a more sociable time for you generally speaking, but both bodies meet with Saturn rather quickly into their transits, and this points to a need to get serious about your daily affairs and responsibilities. Aim to organize and simplify as much as possible. Look for areas of life that have been neglected or where there is too much clutter, disorganization, or waste.

This is a time for getting your communication and transportation structures into good shape. When Saturn and Neptune form a square in the last week of the month, health matters or uncertainty with work can present new challenges. You’ll feel some pressure to clean up your routines and focus on priorities. Work on increasing your practicality and reliability, and make it a goal to procrastinate less for best results now. Spend extra time working out routines that truly work for you, and that make some space for activities focused on improving health and well-being.

 

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

November has the potential of being a quieter month for you, dear Scorpio, even though it’s a power month in some key ways. You are certainly attracting attention and in charge. After a couple of months in which you tended to keep to yourself more than usual, you’re considerably more engaged and ready to make things happen.

Others are noticing and hearing you loud and clear in the first three weeks of November. This is a time for really shining and for feeling more in control of your life, particularly having to do with your image, body, and personality. The New Moon on the 11th is in your sign, and gets a nice boost from Jupiter and Pluto. This brings strong energy for new starts. Begin your solar year with confidence and mindfulness. In the week following the New Moon, you may decide to begin important projects. There can be important new business or financial initiatives now.

Even so, while you begin the month quite active with friends and groups, two key planets, Venus and Mars, move into your privacy sector on the 8th and 12th. This points to some need to pull back from overly demanding and competitive situations, and perhaps people.

With Venus and Mars in your solar twelfth house for the remainder of November and beyond, close relationships may require some personal sacrifices or privacy. A lot is going on beneath the surface or behind the scenes, particularly having to do with your feelings and desires. You could be reassessing your feelings and attachments, or current pursuits. While you could be wrestling with some decisions, you can in fact be a real dynamo with a little extra solitude and time to yourself.

Your social life will continue to assume importance with Jupiter in your social sector for another ten months and the North Node now here for a year. In fact, important benefits and lessons come through connections with friends, associates, and groups. However, it now becomes essential to divide your time effectively.

The Sun and Mercury moving into your sector of resources, natural talents, and self-worth on the 22nd and 20th respectively stimulates a desire to build up your resources, improve your bottom line, and develop what you already have.

The last week of the month is a little tricky. A square between Saturn and Neptune that will be with us until September 2016 off and on comes exact. This can introduce a dilemma that revolves around money, resources, recreation, children, or dating/romance. If you’ve been spending too much on entertainment or romance, you’ll feel the pinch and will need to take some steps to cut back. This can manifest in several different ways, depending on your current life situation, but generally will involve awareness of an addiction, oversight, overindulgence, or neglect in some area of your life that now requires a reality check and some buckling down so that it doesn’t drag you down.

Do your best to examine the ways you spend money, and eliminate wasteful practices and attitudes, as well as redundancies. Look for creative ways of making do with less. Consider writing, teaching, or otherwise communicating your ideas in order to improve your financial status.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

The month gets off to a motivating start with your career or life-path goals in strong focus, dear Sagittarius, and perhaps some extra attention on professional levels. The Sun and Mercury are transiting a hidden area of your chart, however, for the first three weeks of November, and this points to the need for some personal down time as you wind down your solar year and prepare for the next one that begins around your birthday (for Sagittarius Suns).

Career, professional developments, schooling, and responsibilities continue to be strong, even with Venus and Mars leaving the sector at the top of your solar chart on the 8th and 12th. This is because Jupiter remains here through to near the end of summer, 2016, and now you have the North Node of the Moon in this area, encouraging you to reach for the stars and do your best. With a little less emphasis, you may in fact come to a better balance in your life. In fact, Venus and Mars moving into your social sector can be wonderful for added charisma with friends and groups. It also helps to animate your relationships with business associates.

If you need to handle a private matter or deal with an ending or a problem from the past, the week following the New Moon on the 11th is powerful.

The 12-13 is strengthening, when others tend to support your endeavors and you may very well form a new, long-lasting alliance.

Mercury and the Sun move into your sign on the 20th and 22nd respectively. This boosts your sense of personal power and increases your influence and presence. It also brings out the need to share your ideas and use the power of words to improve your life. You also have Ceres boosting your ability to get your message across eloquently. This is also a good influence for career and partnership matters. Of course, you always count regardless of attention from others, but now you seem to be getting outside reinforcement as well. Use this extra boost of visibility to further your plans. It’s a fine time for considering new personal initiatives, making changes to your presentation or appearance, and updating your year-ahead resolutions.

A Saturn-Neptune square is with us now and to some degree until September 2016. This can pull up a need to deal with inconsistencies, neglect, or bad habits in order to improve your life in the long term (Saturn is always about success in the long term). Uncertainty with family or domestic affairs can present some challenges for some of you. There can be a feeling that you’re on your own or that you need to take on more responsibilities – to mature more quickly than you had anticipated – from time to time as this influence moves towards and away from exactitude in the coming ten months.

Pay special attention to what others are teaching you about yourself around the 25th when a Full Moon occurs in your partnership sector.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

You continue to look for ways to improve your life experiences and increase your knowledge and wisdom this month, dear Capricorn, although as the month progresses, you are ready to take care of business as well. If you play your cards right, this can be a strong month for coming to an important work-play balance.

When Venus and Mars move into your professional sector on the 8th and 12th, respectively, you don’t put aside your quest to enjoy life beyond the ordinary routine or expectations. In fact, Jupiter and now the North Node of the Moon stay in your adventure sector for many months to come, encouraging you to reach out further. However, you are also in the position to bring more creativity, energy, and charisma to your career or public life. The 12-13 is especially good for personal and professional influence. Draw upon your past experiences or work for success in the here and now. You have the chance to shine. You also have the opportunity to show just how loyal and reliable you are.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed with responsibility or that you have been shouldering extra work, then this is a good time to restore some balance. You have the ability to be both warm and firm now, and this helps you to get ahead without too much in the way of opposition.

The first three weeks of November are also strong for networking, group efforts, reaching out to the community, and friendships. You can expect more invites or communications from people in your networks. Long-term plans look exciting now. Your month is looking quite full!

The New Moon on the 11th brings wonderful energy for making connections and leveraging the power of an ongoing Jupiter-Pluto connection that is particularly strong for you. Opportunities arising now have the potential for longevity and meaningfulness. In the week following this New Moon, you might decide to begin a new venture or join a group or team.

While this can be a full month, it’s important to pace yourself with your ruler, Saturn, coming to a challenging aspect with Neptune in the last week of November. This influence will return to perfect two more times, in June and September 2016, and you’ll have some time to work through any dilemmas it may call up. There could be some feeling of being drained by daily life – particularly keeping up with your communications. You begin to need more time to yourself with Mercury and the Sun moving into your privacy sector on the 20th and 22nd. You may now face a need to clean up waste or neglect in your daily affairs. While it’s important to stay connected with people you care about, you also need to set some boundaries, gently.

Look for ways to improve physical and mental health through activities and mind-body healing techniques when the Full Moon on the 25th alerts you to the need to attend to your overall well-being.

Aquarius

Aquarius

The first three weeks of the month features both the Sun and Mercury at the top of your solar chart, dear Aquarius, and you’ll be in a great position to look after the major structures in your life. This is a time to give extra attention to career, long-term goals, rules, responsibilities, and performance. It can also be a time of greater visibility with the public or in your professional life. Even people unrelated to your career might seem to hold you a little more accountable for your actions (or lack of action).

As such, this is a time to show off what you can do. It’s also a strong time for reminding yourself of long-term plans as well as the rules of the road. Particularly because Saturn is heading towards a square with Neptune, it’s important to get your priorities clear in your mind.

An especially strong time for getting important structures into place is the 10-13. This is also a good period for career advancement and connecting with people who help you to feel more confident about reaching your goals.

The first week of November is also good for making connections. It’s a time for enlivening your intimate life, and also for getting a better sense of what you can count on in terms of monetary and emotional support, whether this is through a partner or if it’s about subsidies, loans, refunds, and the like. Counseling work can be beneficial now. It can also be a rich time for understanding yourself or an intimate partner better. Desires that have been buried or left unacknowledged can emerge now. Combining your resources or talents with someone can be beneficial for reaching a goal.

Venus and Mars move into your adventure sector and into harmony with your sign on the 8th and 12th, respectively. These influences can boost your spirits and bring more spontaneity into your love life, communications, and everyday experiences. It can also be a super time for promotional or marketing efforts.

Mercury and the Sun move into your friendship sector on the 20th and 22nd, turning your attention to enjoyment, friends, team work, and networking. You’ll also be more inclined to entertain long-term happiness goals now.

However, the last week of the month is definitely the trickier period of November to navigate. Saturn and Neptune connect via a challenging square aspect, introducing a theme that will recur throughout the first three quarters of 2015. This can play out in a number of ways. Some of you could be feeling taken advantage of, or that your values are clashing with friends or group associations. There can be a need to identify areas of waste or neglect, particularly with money and personal possessions, and tidy these things up. You might discover that a plan doesn’t seem quite as viable on a financial level. Lending and borrowing to and from friends is generally considered tricky, but can be especially so for you now. This applies not only to money, but also time and energy. Friendships or causes can drain you at times if you are giving too much while ignoring your own needs. Protect your resources and avoid avoidance! Problems won’t go away if you pretend they don’t exist.

The Full Moon on the 25th can bring affections and creativity to full bloom. The route to fulfillment may not be immediately apparent, but the first step is acknowledging what you’re seeking.

Pisces

Pisces

Close relationships and partnerships continue to be an area of focus this month, dear Pisces. The first week of November can reveal some strong needs and desires in the area of partnering. There is excitement stimulated through your relationship with others.

Venus and Mars move out of your partnership zone on the 8th and 12th, respectively, but Jupiter stays there for the longer term, and a new guest, the North Node of the Moon is here as well (for the coming year). So, while some of the immediate excitement and attention is moving on, you’re still getting encouragement to reach out to others. Valuable lessons are coming through your close relationships, whether it’s a romantic or business partnership or a very close friend. Ups and downs are part of the package, but ultimately you are learning about connecting, sharing, and compromising.

The Sun and Mercury are spending the first three weeks of November in your sector of spirit and adventure, and this pulls at your need to learn, share ideas, and reach out beyond the usual routine or the mundane in your life. If you’re considering a getaway, a new course, or a publishing project, the week after the New Moon on the 11th can be a good time for drawing up new plans. This can be a great time for taking on a new interest or exploring different perspectives or beliefs. Feed your mind, enjoy new experiences, and brush up on skills.

The 10-13 is strong for career and financial opportunities. This can also be a strong time for helpful information coming in, so keep your ear to the ground now. Opportunities to impress, publish or promote your services can figure strongly now.

Your intimacy and sharing sector becomes important from the 8-12 forward. Any new relationships in your life may deepen. Certainly, your feelings and desires transform, deepen, and grow a little more complex or layered. This can be a time for consolidating or combining your resources, gaining financial support, or bringing a little more excitement to your intimate life.

Mercury and the Sun enter your career and reputation sector on the 20th and 22nd, bringing your attention to rules and structures in your life, as well as career and responsibility.

The last week of the month can bring some challenges as your ruler, Neptune, forms a square with Saturn. This aspect will go in and out of orb until September 2016, and can point to a challenge that involves cleaning up areas of neglect or waste. It’s going to be especially important to take better care of your health and body. Demands on your time and responsibilities to others can take their toll on you. You might also struggle with your reputation or issues of freedom and independence. You may be called upon to get organized or to become more goal-oriented. It can be difficult knowing when to stand your ground and when to accept current conditions. Patience is necessary now.

Thursday: Jupiter’s (Thor’s) day

Thursday

Jupiter’s (Thor’s) day

The name is derived from Old English Þūnresdæg and Middle English Thuresday (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þorsdagr) meaning “Thor’s Day”. Thunor, Donar (German, Donnerstag) and Thor are derived from the name of the Germanic god of thunder, Thunraz, equivalent to Jupiter in the interpretatio romana.

In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter, who was the god of sky and thunder. In Latin, the day was known as Iovis Dies, “Jupiter’s Day”. In Latin, the genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis/Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Sardinian jòvia, Catalan dijous, and Romanian joi. This is also reflected in the p-Celtic Welsh dydd Iau.

The astrological and astronomical sign of the planet Jupiter is sometimes used to represent Thursday.

Since the Roman god Jupiter was identified with Thunor (Norse Thor in northern Europe), most Germanic languages name the day after this god: Torsdag in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, Hósdagur/Tórsdagur in Faroese, Donnerstag in German or Donderdag in Dutch. Finnish and Northern Sami, both non-Germanic (Uralic) languages, uses the borrowing “Torstai” and “Duorastat”. In the extinct Polabian Slavic language, it was perundan, Perun being the Slavic equivalent of Thor.

There are a number of modern names imitating the naming of Thursday after an equivalent of “Jupiter” in local tradition. In most of the languages of India, the word for Thursday is Guruvar- var meaning day and guru being the style for Bṛhaspati, guru to the gods and regent of the planet Jupiter. In Thai, the word is Wan Pharuehatsabodi – referring to the Hindu deity Bṛhaspati, also associated with Jupiter. En was an old Illyrian deity and in his honor in the Albanian language Thursday is called “Enjte”. In the Nahuatl language, Thursday is Tezcatlipotōnal meaning “day of Tezcatlipoca”.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, September 17th

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

Mercury stations retrograde today and Jupiter opposes Neptune, dear Aries, and both influences can cast a fog over the day. Watch for mistakes made now that could be rather costly. Dream big, but wait for important launches or finishing touches. Saturn re-enters your solar ninth house today, where it will stay until December 2017. Recent pressures in your intimate relationships and financial life ease. You are entering a period in which you might be questioning some of your long-held beliefs or you might be discovering that you need to firm up your knowledge and skills. This is also a period of greater personal strength due to a stronger connection with reality, a firmer awareness of your priorities, and a better attitude towards meeting your responsibilities. Overall, your life should feel a little more stable. Because you have a more mature grasp of your own capabilities, you project a more responsible, perhaps serious, and self-assured personality to others, even if there are times when you feel a little insecure about your credentials. You may be an authority on a topic and your work/business can involve teaching and sharing your knowledge, which requires more dedication to learning.

Taurus

Taurus

Saturn re-enters the sign of Sagittarius today, dear Taurus, and while it did spend some time in Sagittarius earlier in the year, this time around, it’s there to stay, until December 2017. Fearless dealing with emotional issues can bring rewards during this cycle that asks you to better manage your life, particularly when it comes to financial and emotional dependencies. The goal is to bring these to a healthy or moderate level. This can be a time of learning what and who you truly value. Methods you’ve used to manage stress or people in your life may not be as effective now, or there could be a reshuffling of support systems for some of you. This is a good time for working on a plan to reduce debt and unhealthy dependencies. Today, avoid taking any promises made to heart. You may not have the whole story when it comes to a friendship or goal. Double check all facts and figures. Confusion tends to reign, particularly when it comes to transportation, work, and educational matters.

Gemini

Gemini

While work may have been on the demanding side recently, going forward, it’s likely to become less stressful, dear Gemini. Saturn re-enters the sign opposite yours, where it will transit until December 2017. This is a time for taking more responsibility for your relationships. At times during this cycle you could be experiencing the more unflattering side of others and of yourself through your relationships. You may be learning what you value in your relationships, and difficult areas that you may have glossed over in the past can now demand attention. Responsibilities to partners, the need to compromise, and the realities of the needs of others, become clear during this cycle. If you’re truly better off without a partnership at this time in your life, you’ll solidify that position. Today, with Mercury at a retrograde station and a Jupiter-Neptune aspect challenging you, it can be difficult to see things clearly just for now. While you’re likely to be pulled in many directions today, you’ll be better off if you can take some extra time for breaks. If you need to make a presentation, discuss something important, or win someone’s favor, wait for a day when everyone’s a little clearer and more receptive.

Cancer

Cancer

With Saturn moving into your work and health sector today and visiting there until December 2017, dear Cancer, you’ll be in the position, like it or not, to streamline and structure your daily routines. During this cycle, some of you could land a new position that requires more structure and effort or your existing work begins to demand the same. This is an excellent cycle in which to start new regimens to better your health and well-being, such as regular exercise or more structured and productive use of your time. Organizing your work space is appropriate, and so is re-organizing your daily schedule. In fact, you might be faced with life events that force you to restructure these things, or at least provide you with the motivation to get your act together. Don’t worry too much if your efforts are not yet obvious to others – the effort you exert now can bring great rewards down the road. Perhaps more importantly, you are learning to take better care of yourself, for yourself. Today, however, double check facts and second guess instructions. The day’s energies can be very confusing, and it can be difficult to read situations just for now with Jupiter in opposition to Neptune and Mercury at a retrograde station.

Leo

Leo

Confusion can surround conversations today, dear Leo, so try to avoid taking things said to heart and do your best to keep your wits about you. This is not a good time for making commitments. Saturn moves back into your solar fifth house today, this time for an uninterrupted transit lasting until December 2017. During this cycle, self-expression may not be quite as spontaneous as it typically is, largely because you are taking things a little more seriously. Try not to worry too much about performance to the point that you feel restricted, but do consider ways to bring more structure to your life. There is strong potential for the period ahead to be one of more meaningful and reliable relationships as well as creative productivity. With Saturn, the realist, moving through the house of creative power in your chart, you might initially feel limited by a seeming lack of internal “spark” or “spunk”, dear Leo. As the transit progresses, you will gain a stronger sense of what motivates you, and how to best express yourself creatively. How you entertain yourself, how you have fun, and issues surrounding how you manage your ego are now coming up for “inspection”.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

Today’s Mercury station and Jupiter-Neptune opposition suggest you should make extra effort keeping your wits about you, dear Virgo, particularly with personal possessions and money. Try not to count on being understood just for now. Transportation, mechanics, and communications may be unreliable. Saturn re-enters your sector of home and family today, this time for the long haul – until December 2017. This is a time for firming up your home and family life. Any ongoing difficulties with family members may come to a head during this cycle, and it’s time for working on resolutions. Responsibilities to family and to maintaining your home might be increased. This is a time for building your sense of family, security, and comfort, and this can involve some soul-searching or lessons. Saturn’s transits are about strengthening weak areas of our lives, and your solar fourth house is about your foundations, both material and emotional.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

You may be swinging from seeing what you want to see, to seeing things in a very negative light today, dear Libra, and neither scenario is realistic. Attempt to find a middle ground. Mercury’s retrograde station in your sign can confuse matters, particularly related to communication and transportation. Be conservative now and enjoy increased peace of mind. With Saturn re-entering your communications sector and transiting it until December 2017, you’ll be discovering which projects and personal interests are truly valuable and attempting to cut out the fluff. You might discover that it’s time to brush up your skills or give more structure to your daily life. During this cycle, you are likely to be more accountable for what you say and what you know, and you could feel some pressure to get things just right. Your interests are likely to change or your focus narrows a little. Some of you will be taking studies more seriously or turning a hobby or interest into a business. You’re leaving behind a cycle in which finances and self-worth were the testing grounds for Saturn, and ideally, weak spots were strengthened.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

Saturn left your sign in December 2014 for almost six months before returning to it this summer, dear Scorpio, and today, this transit is complete, not to recur for almost thirty years. While your personality has strengthened as a result of this transit, you have also been quite serious, and now this energy is lifting. You’ve learned a lot about your ability to take care of yourself during this transit. Saturn now re-enters your solar second house, where it transited for some months earlier in the year. This is a time for strengthening weak areas related to money, security, and your own attitude towards earning. Getting organized and learning to accept and market your talents are themes in this next stage of your life, which lasts until December 2017. It’s time to be more conservative with your money, and feel more accomplished in so doing. Look for overlapping or unnecessary expenses and other redundancies, and aim to rid yourself of material clutter. Today, it can be difficult to see things clearly. Keep your wits about you and avoid making solid commitments just for now.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

Confusing energies abound today, dear Sagittarius, and it’s best to save important decision making for a clearer time in the future. Your ruler, Jupiter, opposite Neptune this week can certainly turn your attention to ideals, goals, and spiritual needs that may be missing in your life. Even so, you are entering a cycle that turns your attention to issues of body and the material world. With Saturn back in your sign, this time for the long haul (until December 2017), it’s time to be firmer with yourself, but not too firm. Moderation is an important keyword for Saturn, and you’ll be learning this firsthand during this cycle. Areas where you’ve been excessive can catch up to you now. This is an important time of reassessments and adjustments, as well as recognition of your limits. It’s not a time to undersell yourself, but it is a period for redefining goals so that they are more realistic and doable. This is about becoming more responsible for your life rather than focusing on what you’ve done wrong.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

There can be confusing signals today, dear Capricorn, with your ruler, Saturn, changing signs, a Mercury retrograde station, and a Jupiter-Neptune opposition. It’s not an ideal time for signing contracts, making important commitments, or important new endeavors, particularly related to communications and transportation. Saturn re-enters Sagittarius today, and will transit the sign uninterrupted this time around until December 2017. Saturn sign changes are particularly significant for you. During this cycle, you are likely to be more reflective and contemplative, and at times, you could be focusing a little too much on what you haven’t accomplished rather than what you can accomplish in the future. This is a time for learning about your limits and boundaries, and treating yourself better as a result. You’ll be finding ways to improve mental health. If you need to take more time to yourself, and you very likely do, get that extra rest or emotional space and try not to feel guilty about it.

Aquarius

Aquarius

With a Jupiter-Neptune aspect and a Mercury station clouding our thinking today, dear Aquarius, it’s best not to invest money, energy, or love into things that seem too good to be true. Reflect and dream, but save big moves and decisions for a clearer time. Today, Saturn re-enters your solar eleventh house. Saturn spent some months there earlier in the year, but now is completing its transit that lasts until December 2017. This also means that Saturn moves out of stressful aspect with your sign and out of your career and reputation sector, where it spent quite a bit of time in recent years. During this cycle, you are likely to take your social life a little more seriously. For some, goals and friendships can change, and you could find that you’re more interested in forming long-lasting ties. You might also be more selective with where you put your energies and time, and could possibly decide to cut back on the more frivolous activities in your life in order to focus on your priorities.

Pisces

Saturn re-enters your performance and life-plan sector today, dear Pisces, and this time, it will move through this house of your solar chart uninterrupted, until December 2017. You may have had a taste of this energy in the first months of 2015. During this cycle, circumstances could demand more serious thought about your career and life direction. You are reaching a career peak of sorts over the next couple of years, and could be going through a process of self-evaluation in terms of where you stand professionally, your responsibilities, and outward signs of success. Some of you might be receiving recognition and career “rewards” at this time, while others might be feeling the weight of poor decisions made to date. There could be pressure to perform or to know your stuff now. A more realistic approach to achieving your dreams is your goal. Today, however, it can be difficult to see others in a realistic light, and others may not be seeing you clearly as well. Try not to lead others on in order to avoid hurt feelings, but keep in mind as well that today is not ideal for attempting to make clarifications with Mercury at its retrograde station.

Thursday

By the LakeThursday

Jupiter’s (Thor’s) day

The name is derived from Old English Þūnresdæg and Middle English Thuresday (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þorsdagr) meaning “Thor’s Day”. Thunor, Donar (German, Donnerstag) and Thor are derived from the name of the Germanic god of thunder, Thunraz, equivalent to Jupiter in the interpretatio romana.

In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter, who was the god of sky and thunder. In Latin, the day was known as Iovis Dies, “Jupiter’s Day”. In Latin, the genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis/Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Sardinian jòvia, Catalan dijous, and Romanian joi. This is also reflected in the p-Celtic Welsh dydd Iau.

The astrological and astronomical sign of the planet Jupiter is sometimes used to represent Thursday.

Since the Roman god Jupiter was identified with Thunor (Norse Thor in northern Europe), most Germanic languages name the day after this god: Torsdag in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, Hósdagur/Tórsdagur in Faroese, Donnerstag in German or Donderdag in Dutch. Finnish and Northern Sami, both non-Germanic (Uralic) languages, uses the borrowing “Torstai” and “Duorastat”. In the extinct Polabian Slavic language, it was perundan, Perun being the Slavic equivalent of Thor.

There are a number of modern names imitating the naming of Thursday after an equivalent of “Jupiter” in local tradition. In most of the languages of India, the word for Thursday is Guruvar- var meaning day and guru being the style for Bṛhaspati, guru to the gods and regent of the planet Jupiter. In Thai, the word is Wan Pharuehatsabodi – referring to the Hindu deity Bṛhaspati, also associated with Jupiter. En was an old Illyrian deity and in his honor in the Albanian language Thursday is called “Enjte”. In the Nahuatl language, Thursday is Tezcatlipotōnal meaning “day of Tezcatlipoca”.

September 2015 Energy Report

September 2015 Energy Report

Shhh, it’s September. I feel like I need to whisper because there has been so much negative press and information about September 2015 that we may be a little apprehensive about this month. And yet it’s one of the more powerful months of the year, with two eclipses, an Equinox, a lot of retrograde action, cycles ending and beginning, another rare Mars/Venus conjunction, and a turning point in the ascension cycle. This month we get to see the fruits of our efforts, make some new decisions, and re-illusion ourselves and the world. Are you ready for Super September? I hope so because it’s here, and you can make the best of this month’s change challenges by knowing what’s coming up. An ongoing reminder for September — It is impossible to be at peace in the present moment when you are at war with the past.

September starts off with some interesting dynamics. First, every planet is in some aspect of retrograde, either directly or by cycle. That says a lot about how we’re starting the 9th month of the year, where 9 is the number of completion. And we have the second of three Venus/Mars conjunctions on September 1. Even with Venus retrograde, it’s a rather rare and very potent combination, the movement from the human male/female to divine masculine/feminine. And  they connect three times in 2015, which is quite rare, the 3rd is on November 1, in Virgo, together with Jupiter.

The two most important cycles this month are Jupiter in Virgo, starting a new cycle from 2003, and Saturn grinding out the last degree of Scorpio, completing its cycle from December 2014 and 1982. Do you remember your 2015 new year’s intentions? You may want to get them out this month because now you can put them in action.

The Jupiter in Virgo cycle is important because it goes back to 1991 and then 2003, both important moments in this ascension cycle. 2003 was when Archangel Uriel first visited me and in 1991 I started channeling and acknowledging my intuition and spiritual gifts. What were you doing in 2003 and 1991? Were they some of the worst years of your life — 2003 was for me, it was the year I was broke, nearly homeless, and unemployed. I cried myself to sleep every night for 6 months, begging God to ‘take me home’  until I decided to take another approach. Then I got a job and created my free trip to France (which you can read about in my book, 30 Days to  Everyday Miracles).

Any time we have Jupiter in Virgo there is a spiritual awakening and the first two were rough, this one can be different. We’re so much more awake and aware now, so we can really align with and integrate this energy. No more ‘sissy spirituality’ or Martyred Healers, it’s empowered mastery time. What do you want to create in your life now as a fully integrated divine spiritual human?

Saturn leaves Scorpio on September 16, I think I will get the party hats out for that one. It has been a long, hard grind and not just for the past two years of Saturn in Scorpio. There is a particular kind of (misery) learning with Saturn in Scorpio and this is repeating cycle that goes back to 1917, 1950, and 1982. On September 16, when Saturn enters Sagittarius we end that cycle and get to apply its learning to our new paradigms. Don’t stop at being ‘glad it’s over’, take that next step to use what you have learned to do things differently now. We can’t change anything if we don’t make any changes.

Let’s talk about eclipses, which are super energized moon cycles, and we have two this month. We haven’t had any eclipses since March so these may be a wake up call. We’ll certainly feel the one on September 13th, which opposes Chiron, the Wounded Healer, exactly. Old wounds come up for review and release or repetition. This is also a good time for secrets to be revealed.  The eclipse degree, 20 Virgo, is where we will see the 3rd Venus/Mars conjunction and Jupiter on November 1, so pay attention to what happens here.  Whatever seems to be finished may come around again. The second eclipse is on September 28, at 4 Aries, which is close to the zero point, or beginning, of the zodiac. With the activity during this month’s final two weeks, energetic, social, and political, I think we’ll see some new beginnings happen.

The Equinox on September 23 is opposite the degree of the March 20 eclipse at 29 Pisces, bringing matters started at that time to resolution. Starting in October 2014 each new moon was at 0 degrees, with February 2015’s at 0 Pisces. Also in February 2015 we had the first Mars/Venus conjunction at 0 Aries, the beginning of the zodiac. This is one more area of healing for us, clearing the drama, trauma, chaos, and pain around our most difficult relationships. All of the energy of the past 9 months is now building up to a big crescendo. It’s time for the doors to open wide.

But we have a Mercury retrograde this month too, which, with all of the other retro action, seems like overkill to me. It’s in Libra and goes from 15 degrees back to 0, highlighting both eclipses in March and April this year. Have you noticed that everything this month is about repeating cycles? Libra is the sign of balance and anywhere we have been unbalanced, which includes not serving our needs, we will see it and have an opportunity to fix it by putting our needs first. This is a time to be self-ish, meaning taking care of ourselves. You can read my article on being ‘self-ish’ here.

The standard Mercury retro rules apply, leave extra time for travel, it isn’t a good idea to start new projects or buy big ticket items, read the details carefully before you sign, and expect things done under a Mercury retro to be re-done in some way after the retro is over. In this case, Mercury retro ends on October 8, and the shadow period ends October 25. You can still do things in a Mercury retro period but delays and upsets are more likely to happen now.

‘Having balance’ includes being out of alignment and out of integrity with ourselves, in every area. Are you angry about your past? Then you are out of balance in the present. Do you feel taken advantage of or used by others? Then you’re out of integrity with your needs and how you state them. Saying ‘no’ requires more courage than saying ‘yes’ at times, and sometimes we say ‘yes’ a lot because we don’t want to disappoint others. But if doing that makes you angry and upset, then you’re better off saying ‘no’ and letting them deal with their own consequences. And you’ll have a lot of opportunities in September to see where that applies, because with all of this retro action something is bound to come up.

If all of this back and forth makes your head spin, think of the karma wheel that turns around and around until someone decides they have been spinning long enough. ‘What goes around comes around’ and eventually it stops when the individual or collective wants to do something else. The time is ripe for change and we are supported by the energy in so many ways. But change happens when we decide to do something else, which is one step beyond realizing how unhappy we are with the current situation, and that one step is what takes us off of the karma wheel.

Our global rulers think that the week of September 23 is so important that they are meeting in several different venues to announce new global policies. They have been trying to do this for decades, the last such big announcement was in 1991 (Saturn in Scorpio) and that didn’t work. I don’t think that replacing Agenda 21 with Agenda 2030 is going to be any different, especially since we don’t want the 3D paradigms to continue and we have already disconnected from them on so many levels. While they won’t stop trying to force their illusions of greed, domination, and control on the world, we can operate beyond their radar by staying true to our desire for empowered, multi-dimensional, intentional living that promotes peace, joy, love, and compassion. That’s the world I want to live in and what I give my energetic consent to, anything else is a forgettable minor detail.

Many of the topics I have been addressing in the past few months come to bear in September. Energetic consent, energy boundaries, releasing ‘sacred cows‘, finding our own truth center, releasing the past so we can get clear on the present — we can’t have a foot in both worlds, past and present, and make any profound commitments to creating change for the future. September’s keywords are alignment and integration — what energy flows do we want to be in line with and how do we fit them into our lives? It may be time for some emotional and energetic housekeeping so we can make room for the changes and opportunities that are waiting for us to allow them into our realities. If love, joy, wealth, prosperity, abundance, and peace are knocking at your door, are you going to let them in?

We’re moving from the new age to the new earth, from light workers to light beacons, and from the density of destiny to the bright light of creation. Instead of wondering where to start, focus on the outcome you want to create to start the energy flow –  make it big, bold, and beautiful, reach for the stars and keep shining your light. Have a wonderful month.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, August 23rd

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

Wherever the Sun transits in your solar chart, dear Aries, you have take-charge energy and focus at your disposal for the areas of life ruled by that sector. Today and until September 23rd, the Sun spotlights your work, service, health, daily habits, and routines. Focus can be on improving your self-care habits, organization, and work commitments. You take more pride in, and are more equipped to take charge of, your health and wellness. You’re going to be putting a lot of effort into these things in the upcoming year with Jupiter spending time in this sector, and you’re likely to get some lucky boosts along the way.

Taurus

Taurus

On the 11th, Jupiter entered your romance and creativity sector for a thirteen month stay, dear Taurus. Today, the Sun begins its month-long visit to this area of your chart, and this stimulates your attention, pride, and sense of being in charge. Any latent needs to perform, entertain, have fun, attract love, and express yourself creatively come to the fore now. You could be feeling more romantic or affectionate now. You might begin creative projects or hobbies, or you could be renewing or putting more energy into these things now. You are looking for feedback and perhaps some ego strokes, but most importantly, you are recognizing your natural need for some “play” time. This cycle lasts until September 23rd and helps to kick off your lucky Jupiter cycle in a fun way.

Gemini

Gemini

The Sun moves to the lowermost place in your chart today, dear Gemini, and as it moves through your home and family sector over the coming month, you’ll be most concerned with domestic and personal matters. The outside world will still need your attention, of course, but your strongest focus now is becoming more comfortable and secure in your home, and in your own skin as well. Soothe yourself with the familiar, and step into your comfort zone. We all need to do this from time to time. The needs of family and the home environment may not necessarily increase, but you’ll hear them loud and clear. Jupiter has just recently entered this sector of your chart, bringing more joy and benefits to home and family life. The Sun here brings your pride into the equation. It’s a strong time for making improvements.

Cancer

Cancer

The Sun moves into your communications sector today, dear Cancer, where it illuminates your mind as well as the connections you have and make to others. Your daily life may become especially busy, and possibly scattered at times. There can be a lot of comings and goings. You might increase your contact and communication with others, and/or throw yourself into learning exciting new things. Some of you could discover fun new interests. Because demands on you, and your own interests, can be very diverse during this cycle, it can be difficult to work on any one project with exclusive focus. Even so, this cycle is more about discovery and branching out than specializing. Jupiter has just recently moved into this area of your chart for a longer stay, until September 2016, and this can create quite a nice, positive buzz around your communications.

Leo

Leo

The Sun leaves your sign today, and begins its month-long transit of your sector of values and resources, dear Leo. This puts a lot of emphasis on your levels of comfort and security. You’re especially interested in finding ways to settle in, but also to build upon recent ideas in order to get some results. This can involve finances, of course, but it’s also a cycle in which you get into greater touch with what it is you have, both material and spiritual resources. Whether these things help you to feel secure or if they are attempts to replace more important things that are missing from your life might be explored now, and in many ways, through the coming year with Jupiter now transiting this area of your chart until September 2016. This is a time to appreciate what you already have, and if something is truly missing, to make plans to build what you need. Taking charge of your financial affairs can also be appropriate at this time in your life. Today is strong for personal appeal and creative expression. The Moon stimulates your playful side now, but also sensitivity to whether others are paying attention and giving you the feedback you desire.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

Jupiter just recently moved into your sign, dear Virgo, and today, the Sun begins its yearly, month-long visit, bringing more oomph to the table. You are at a personal peak of sorts, and this will continue in many ways for the year to come, when you feel more in charge of your life than you normally do. You might play with a new look, style, or image. You are more inclined to take mindful action rather than simply react to what is going on around you. This begins a new “birthday year”, and when your birthday does occur, remind yourself that you have more power than usual to make resolutions and to make changes that truly improve your life. As more attention comes to you, you quite naturally want to get your act together. You are more readily attracting what you need into your life now. Even so, today’s Moon visit to your home and family sector can bring out the homebody in you.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

Today, the Sun begins its transit of the most private, tucked away sector of your chart, dear Libra, and will continue to transit this sector of your chart until September 23rd. This begins a natural cycle that emphasizes the need to look back, reflect, and reconsider before you move forward with personal plans. Goals may not be clear, or could need some refinement. You may be bringing some matters to a closure. Decision making in general is a slower process now, as you are not as impulsive, confident, or sure about what you’re ready, able, and willing to do. This is a period for a tidy-up on an emotional, spiritual, or mental level. Jupiter recently entered this same sector of your chart and will visit here for over a year. This gives you a support system as the Sun transits this sector for the coming month.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

Today the Sun enters your sector of connections, friendships, wishes, and hopes, dear Scorpio, and will continue to visit this house of your solar chart until September 23rd. It’s a friendly, idealistic cycle that stimulates your need to connect with people who share common ideals and aspirations. It also brings out your desire to seek happiness. Being part of a team or group effort can be especially satisfying now. It’s a time when making a contribution to your community can be satisfying, and when putting ego needs to the side in favor of group efforts can be helpful. Bringing even greater oomph to all of these things is Jupiter, having just recently begun a thirteen month visit to this same sector of your chart. You’re in the position to benefit from friendships and new goals.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

Jupiter just recently began a thirteen month visit of your career and reputation sector, kicking off a cycle of improved opportunities, professional presence, and influence, dear Sagittarius. Today, the Sun begins its month-long transit of this same sector, bringing more power, focus, and conscious, directed energy along with it. It’s a take-charge time for professional and public efforts, as well as duties and responsibilities. You quite naturally take the lead, and the spotlight. You are in greater demand, and there can be more attention to your performance and accomplishments now. Today, the Moon is in your sign, and you are seeing things from a rather emotional perspective. The Sun and your ruler, Jupiter, are in parallel aspect, and this serves to boost your personal and professional appeal all day.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

The Sun begins its yearly, month-long transit of your adventure sector today, dear Capricorn, encouraging you to reach beyond your usual limits, boundaries, and routines in order to experience and learn new things. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and increase, has just recently entered this sector of your chart, and now with the Sun here, there is more directed, take-charge energy available to you, although after the Solar Eclipse mid-September will be even more powerful. You are feeling in form and more confident now. The routine or mundane elements of your life appear less interesting and more black-and-white as you seek out more colorful life experiences. Even so, the Moon continues to transit the background of your chart today, and you may very well enjoy some quiet time just for now.

Aquarius

Aquarius

The Sun begins highlighting your solar eighth house today, dear Aquarius, shining light on sharing in intimate and financial ways. This is a time for recognizing debts to and dependencies on others, and taking charge in some manner. In fact, you can gain a real feeling of self-empowerment during this cycle that lasts until September 23rd. Debt and support in question can be either emotional or material, and if you can come to terms with it, you can feel more in control of your life. Getting to a healthier balance is important now. You are more interested in what’s going on behind the scenes and below the surface than the more superficial interactions in your life, and while investigating, playing detective, and analyzing are all favored now, taken too far, they could lead to unnecessary suspicion and a negative headspace. Sidestep your way around power games in order to focus instead on getting closer with someone important in your life and with yourself. Be as honest with yourself as possible for the best results. Jupiter is helping you out all month and beyond, as this planet of plenty recently entered this same sector of your chart, bringing joy and benefits to your intimate world.

Pisces

Pisces

You are beginning a relationship-focused month-long cycle today, dear Pisces, with the Sun’s move into Virgo. Jupiter has just recently entered this sector of your chart and will spend over a year here, bringing benefits to and from your relationships. You take more pride in how you get along with others, and how well you find harmony and balance in your personal environment. Many of you are more companionable, sociable, and compromising than usual, as your awareness of the needs of, and needs for, others becomes very obvious. Your own personal agenda may need to wait. At times, it may seem that others are directing your life in some way. Of course, in order to relate well with other people, a strong sense of self is vital. You need to know what you want and what you’re prepared to give. Today, you are more noticeable and accountable than usual, and duties call to you!
