A Transition from the Old to the New
Friday, March 20, 2015 – 2:36 a.m. PDT
29 degrees and 27 minutes of Pisces
Visible in Norway and the Faroe Islands
This lunation is a rare Super Moon Total Solar Eclipse and occurs at 29 degrees of Pisces—the end of the zodiac—just hours before the Spring Equinox marks the Sun’s entry into the Aries zero point. Wow!
Eclipses are historically known as transformational and intense periods, both individually and collectively. This one is destined to be that and more, because the critical last degree of the zodiac is super-charged with potential. It is compelling each of us to break free from the old ways of being and to embrace the new.
As if the final degree of the zodiac wasn’t enough intensity, this Eclipse also occurs during the final Uranus-Pluto square which has been in affect since June 6, 2012. The Occupy Movement took off during this period and classified political documents were leaked to the media through whistle blowers like Wikileaks and Edward Snowden. Uranus rules revolutions as well as the Internet and during this time the secret group, Anonymous, became a revolutionary hacktivist force to be reckoned with. These are just a couple of examples. Watch for ever more revealing scandals in the midst of this final Uranus-Pluto square as more and more people are seeking social political change.
On the personal level, an Eclipse acts in a particularly potent manner that brings about change. Where there is inner uncertainty, an Eclipse will inspire you to seek clarity. Powerful psychic energies give birth to new information as the light of the luminaries darken during an Eclipse. Therefore, pay close attention to the revelations occurring in your personal life as they are sure to reveal important insights.
Within hours of this Eclipse the Sun makes its journey into Aries, marking the beginning of the seasonal and Astrological New Year where you are encouraged to embrace the magic and beauty of spring. Aries is the sign that represents initiations into brand new frontiers. This is an auspicious time to consider the action you need to take so you can manifest and create new endeavors. Intentions set during this period can create real changes in your life. Aries carries a powerful force so be careful what you wish for as you just might get it!
The ancient sages felt that Eclipses were a time for meditation and learning; a special time to honor the spiritual aspects of your life. Try to keep your schedule light, remain internally focused, eat only pure foods and do not consume alcohol. The veil between Earth and the heavens is thinner during an eclipse, allowing you to more easily connect to the eternal universal wisdom that is your divine essence. The energies of an Eclipse can be felt a few days before and after its occurrence. Disruptions in the Earth’s magnetic field occur during Eclipses and can be felt globally regardless of its visibility.
Eclipses occur in pairs every six months with this being the first Eclipse of 2015, the second of this pair occurs on April 4—Easter weekend.

14 degrees and 15 minutes of Virgo
I chuckled when I realized that this month’s Full Moon in the sign of
Virgo is called a micro-moon as Virgo is known as the fastidious earthy
sign that can intently focus on and analyze the many small (micro) details of life.
Micro or apogee lunation means the moon is at its farthest point from
Earth in its orbit. It is important to note that history and the study of Astrology
have long-established that the distance of a planet from earth does not lesson its energetic qualities.
Full Moons occur when the Moon moves into an opposition to and reflects the light of the Sun—in this case, Pisces. When Virgo, and or Pisces, is emphasized in our horoscopes or in the heavens as they are under this Full Moon, we will want to pay special attention to our bodies, thoughts and spiritual life. As you embrace your personal integration of body, mind and spirit, you are contributing to the magnificent blossoming of the human species as it collectively awakens to its intricate connection to all life forms and the universal mind and spirit.
Virgo is one of the Earth signs that holds a special affinity for all things related to our planet and her depiction honors the sacredness of Earth’s bounty as she lifts the wheat shaft in her hand. In the sign of Virgo, this micro-Full Moon will encourage you to become more organized and meticulous with the details of your life. Use Virgo’s talent for analytical thinking and discrimination to generate new ventures that align with your desires. These qualities are especially helpful if you want to enhance or change your daily work routine.
The purification and integration of body, mind and spirit is Virgo’s most important domain. Pay special attention to your nutritional requirements, thought processes and spiritual needs.If any one of these essential areas is out of balance in your life, now is the time to set goals for improvement.
Virgo Key Words: Analyze, Discriminate, Daily Work, Diet, Health (intestines, nervous system, hands and feet), Mental Constructs, Spirituality

Aquarius New Moon
Tuesday, January 20th – 5:31 a.m. PT
0 degrees & 08 minutes
The sign of The Water Bearer and Freedom Seeker
Aquarius is the celestial sign that bestows the universal cosmic waters
onto humankind and our planet. Although Aquarius is an air sign, it is known
as “The Water Bearer” and this connection through the healing element of water symbolizes an ability to spread its cosmic gifts of giving and restoring life to humanity. Aquarius is also associated with futuristic thinking. Aquarians are humanitarian and philanthropic by nature with an intention to make the world a better place.
Aquarius is ruled by the planets Saturn and Uranus and both are making harmonious aspects to this New Moon. Saturn is interested in maintaining the status quo, whereas Uranus wants unprecedented and sometimes radical change. Although these two are seemingly at odds with one another, they are the cosmic energies that ensure change, and therefore evolution. Their message reveals the need for embracing change, because if we resist, we may very likely find ourselves in the midst of a crisis.
“If you’re gonna make a change, you’re gonna have to
operate from a new belief that says life happens
not to me but for me.” ~Tony Robbins
Mercury also turns retrograde in Aquarius on the 22nd of January – February 10th. This new Moon combined with Mercury Retrograde is providing an amazing opportunity to continue the evaluation of your own desires and need for change.
Lastly, when a New Moon occurs at 0 degrees of a zodiac sign it emphasizes a brand new beginning. In the sign of Aquarius this new beginning is associated with our hopes, wishes and dreams. Therefore, set goals under these auspicious influences that will support your individual and collective future.

14 degrees and 30 minutes of Cancer
The first Full Moon of the 2015 is known as the Wolf Moon by the Native people because the wolf packs howled hungrily outside their snow laden villages. Our brothers and sisters of the stars are known by the Native peoples as the Great Star Nation, and wolves are represented by the Dog Star, Sirius, which many Astrologers and ancient cultures believe is the original home of our teachers from ancient times.Sirius was also known to be the home of the gods by the ancient Egyptians and is still considered so by the Dogon tribe in Africa.
The Moon is a power ally for the Wolf as its senses are very keen. If you’ve been following my Astro-Grams you already know that the Moon is a symbol for psychic energy, and the unconscious that holds the secrets of all knowledge and wisdom.The Full Moon in January is an auspicious time to access this inner wisdom because it falls in the watery sign of the crab – Cancer. Cancer is the Astrological sign associated with our inner versus outer world. Therefore, this is a great time to set intentions for creating more balance between your inner and outer life.
When the Moon is in Cancer the Sun is in Capricorn. These two opposite signs are seeking balance between outer world responsibilities of social, political and career interest and inner world security of family, home and self. This Full Moon is highlighting the Uranus-Pluto square that has been in effect since 2012. With these amazing planetary energies we are encouraged to individually and collectively revolutionize outmoded ways of living that are no longer in harmony with natural law.
The Wolf Moon is an inspiring reminder for each of us to empower the sacred being within and to come forth and aid humanity in its spiritual awakening of union with the Great Mystery that is unfolding at this time in our history.
“Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes.” ~ Carl Jung

Dec. 23, 2014 – Dec. 19, 2017
From June 14 through Sept. 17, 2015 Saturn retrogrades back into Scorpio.
Saturn is often referred to as “The Lord of Karma” or “The Great Malefic” and sometimes “The Task Master,” all of which can provoke feelings of pessimism and negativity. Rarely are Saturn’s countless hidden gifts emphasized upon first contemplating this great planet’s Astrological significations.
Saturn is the planet that represents structure, social-political systems and authority, as well as the awareness of time and karma. He is the harbinger of the blatant recognition of a long standing way of life that is no longer serving us. With Saturn’s ingress into Sagittarius we will find ourselves investing time to restructure the area of our lives reflected by the zodiacal sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius represents matters involving the ideals in our lives that create personal meaning and the understanding behind them. It is associated with the natural laws of living; education, philosophy, religion and publications; what we give intrinsic meaning to; individuation or expansion of consciousness; exploration and freedom; dogma, self-righteousness and belief systems; optimism and joy; initiations into esoteric wisdom, gurus and teachers. Saturn will bring awareness and a need for dynamic change—individually as well as collectively—to any or all of these Sagittarian qualities.
Saturn in Sagittarius will bring awareness of outmoded belief structures and encourage a commitment to finding the truth. We will find our personal and collective ideals change during this time. Many of these changes will come about in the realm of education, religion and political scandals. There will likely be archeological and space discoveries that will also challenge our past beliefs and simultaneously expand our consciousness.
You will feel inspired to seek experiential awareness, develop or expand your vocational skills and possibly seek a new life path. Additionally, the quest for purposeful and joyful meaning will be highlighted during this period. This is especially true for Sagittarians because Saturn will transit directly over your Sun. If you are between the ages of 28-30 or 56-59 you are experiencing or about to experience your Saturn return, a major maturation and turning point in one’s life.
Mindful awareness is required at the onset of a significant Saturn transit and we are encouraged to use integrity in all our dealings throughout its duration. The Saturnian journey often leads us into solemn periods of reflection where we may find ourselves feeling dejected, disillusioned and thwarted to move into the future we desire. Simultaneously, Saturn can promote new career heights, responsibilities and leadership recognition. If we consciously embrace Saturn’s wise teachings we can emerge with unexpected treasures and a more dynamic and productive life.
Saturnian transits and aspects bring us to a crossroads and provide opportunities to hasten our evolution. They usher in a profound time period, which if embraced, can ultimately bring great wisdom, a deeper meaning to life and awareness of self, maturation, humility and freedom by releasing that which no longer serves us.

The Planetary Time Indicator of Change
Dec. 23, 2014 – June 14, 2015 and Sept. 17, 2015 – Dec. 19, 2017
The planet Saturn begins its journey through your Astrological horoscope at the moment of your birth. Its complete cycle through the zodiac and the 12 houses of your Astrological chart takes roughly 29 years. The Saturn Return occurs when Saturn passes through the sign it was in at the time of your birth and will be in affect for approximately two-and-a-half years. You will expereince the Saturn Return twice in your life, typically around age 28-30 and again at 56-59. If you were born during 1987 – 1989 or 1956 – 1959 you were born with Saturn in Sagittarius and are currently experiencing your first or second Saturn Return.
When Saturn returns to its natal position in your chart you will undergo one of the most intense maturation periods of your life. In general, Saturn Returns are precursors to strong and sometimes painful yearnings for change. During this period you will be divinely guided to relinquish anything in your life that does not support your future life goals and purpose. You may find yourself feeling compelled to prioritize your objectives and activities so you can make the best use of your abilities for the next 29.5 years.
This can be a very stressful and trying time because the security of the past is familiar and safe, whereas the future is still unformed and therefore uncertain. Among many things, Saturn represents karma, responsibility and accountability. This will be a critical time requiring you to act with extreme integrity.
The Saturn Return brings about endings and new beginnings. The universe will unveil unhealthy and incongruent living and working conditions that can no longer be tolerated. This recognition can bring about enormous change, which may at times feel completely out of your control.
If you resist your personal nature and desires during your Saturn Return, the next 29.5 years could bring much suffering. If you willingly embrace Saturn’s courageous force then the transformation you make during this period can bring long term stability and future security.
