Neptune - the planet of the spiritual, universal, ethereal, mysterious, mystical, enlightenment, psychic, delusional, imagination, escape, surrender, sacrifice, artistic inspiration, musical ability, glamour, fantasy, romantic love, dissolving, uplifting, confusing, consoling, undermining, drugs and alcohol - began its retrograde journey for this afternoon, May 31st, at 2:50 PM EDT ....
One of the main energies of Neptune retrograde is to not just have blind faith ... be it personal spiritual quests or the "collective" quest of society, Neptune retrograde energy means a reexamination of hopes and beliefs ... we may all need to individually question and test all aspects of faith ... we begin to question and develop objectivity in regards to the intangibles of life such as truth, fear, hope and inspiration ... when Neptune is retrograde it is closest to the Earth making its function even more intensified ... artists, musicians, poets and those who are leading a highly spiritual life may especially feel the energy of a Neptune retrograde and be truly inspired ... during a Neptune retrograde if we aren't pursuing a spiritual quest we may become confused, disillusioned or full of illusions ... there is a chance that some may fall into drugs, alcohol or other escapist behaviors ... ideally, this is a time to question the ideas society accepts about faith, fears, truth and understanding ...
Neptune retrograde is a time for everyone to tune into the collective unconscious and realize how our own fears, illusion, confusion or spiritual journey are connected to what is happening with humanity ... this is a time to determine whether or not our own individual energies are being used positively to develop faith and spirituality, or if one is simply pursuing a path of escapism and disappointment ... Neptune retrogrades about 5 - 6 months every year ...
Neptune is still transiting through the sign of Aquarius which represents a need for unification through liberation ... we've all been put through tests to see exactly what freedom is and to realize that the best way to unify is ultimately to liberate ... this can lead to the ablility to tune into other fellow human beings and to become united as one ... this period has also come to help begin to illuminate those who can see the Light and those who cannot ... Neptune in Aquarius seeks inspiration through groups, networking, and individuality and can lead one to be quite the humanitarian ... Neptune, which began its transit through Aquarius in January of 1998, will complete its transit through Aquarius on February 3rd, 2012 ... now isn't that going to be an interesting year indeed with everything else going on !!!
Pisces born, since Neptune is your planetary ruler, this is your yearly time to review and rethink what has been going on in your life since the last Neptune retrograde ended on November 4th, 2009 ... where have you been seeking the "ideal" and where have you looked at things realistically or perhaps with the proverbial "rose colored glasses" ???
If you have had a natal chart done, then you might get an idea what area of life this Neptune retrograde energy will be affecting ... in other words, where have you possibly let illusion mislead you ...
Neptune remains retrograde until November 6/7th depending on what time zone you live in ... this would be an excellent and possibly extremely rewarding time to keep a dream journal as your dreams are sure to be enhanced with symbolism and information from the Universe resulting in profitable and/or illuminating ideas ... after all, hasn't it been said "a dream is a wish your heart makes" ???

BUILDING A FIRMER FOUNDATION !!!
Saturn, the planet representing the urge for security and safety and whose keyword is "the teacher", stationed back into direct motion this afternoon, May 30th at 2:11 PM EDT ... Saturn is also known as the celestial taskmaster who teaches us the lessons, both easy and challenging, we must learn from life ... while Saturn has been in retrograde motion, since January 13th of this year, we all have been reviewing and trying to restructure systems, programs, organizations, corporations and rules to allow them to function more efficiently ... we also have had time to become more aware of our own personal authority and power and whether or not it fits within society or needs some adjustment on some level ... we have also been reveiwing whether or not society rules and policies are helping give us structure or limiting us in some way ...
Just a reminder that Saturn was beginning its transit through the sign of Libra when the retrograde began ... and the essence of this transit is being tested through relating ... needless to say relationships and partnerships both personal and public are going under the universal microscope for closer scrutiny ... in Libra, the greatest lesson Saturn will ultimately teach us is that of BALANCE in relationships ... letting give and take have equal power ... through these balancing acts, one will be able to determine and establish their place in the professional and personal landscape of their individual lives ... and Libra born individuals may especially have been sensitive to this retrograde energy that is taking place in their birth sign ...
Saturn backed into the sign of Virgo for one final bit of business on April 7th so the lesson shifted to taking a long hard look at our daily work and service, health and nutrition, and possibly family issues ... Virgo born individuals may also have felt more pressure in one or more of these areas too with Saturn draggin the ball and chain in your birth sign ... but we all, regardless of birth sign, were dealing with this energy on some level of our lives ... and with the present state of the economy and business it makes a lot of sense !!! .. Saturn is teaching all of us a very difficult lesson ... but holding firm and staying positive will get us through this stronger and better able to deal with life and its many challenges ...
Now that Saturn has turned back into direct motion, we are better able to see where we stand and begin to move forward in building a more secure foundation and structure for our lives ... at this point we can start working diligently towards pursuing more stability and security in our lives ... no doubt we may encounter limitations or restrictions either self imposed or imposed by authority figures on some level ... or perhaps the Universe itself will even throw a road block or two our way to see how we implement the work ethic and partnerships/relationship issues we have been working on and refining since January 13th !!!
My fellow Capricorns, it is now time for us to "wake up" from our "hibernation period" and move forward with our lives - this is our ruling planet !!! ... we have a yearly period of about four and a half months to review and rethink ... as Saturn is currently completing its transit through the sign of Virgo, we are undoubtedly taking one last long hard look at our daily work and service, health and nutrition, and possibly family issues ... and also anything we have all been reviewing since the retrograde began in January ... Saturn returns to the sign of Libra for its complete transit on July 21st and once again partnerships/relationships both public and private along with personal values will be under close scrutiny until the transit is finished in October 2012 ...
Saturn requires every one of us to often be taught through difficult lessons in life ... but if you keep your feet firmly planted and try to stay positive and understand that the "light at the end of the tunnel" usually signifies greater personal as well as spiritual growth, you will definitely come through a much stronger person and better for the lessons you have taken seriously and made great personal effort to learn from ... you will certainly be better equipped to deal with life and its many challenges !!! ... Saturn remains in direct motion until January 2011 ... Now is a good time to make sure that each cornerstone of whatever foundation you are currently working on building is firmly planted and secure !!!

FREEDOM ... INDEPENDENCE ... REBELLION !!!
Uranus - the planet representing the urge for freedom, sometimes referred to as divine discontent, and whose keyword is "the awakener" - began its transit through the fiery sign of Aries on Thursday, May 27th, at 9:48 PM ... here we have a planet known for its often sudden and unexpected action tinged with a jolt of electricity moving through an agressive sign of fire ... and the possibilities of what could happen when these two energies join forces could be inspiring, unimaginable or even catastrophic at times !!! ...
Uranus rules inventions, originality, science, electricity, magic, the occult, light, ASTROLOGY !!!, psychology, x-rays, airplanes, insight into nature's laws ... it is futuristic, humanitarian, intellectual, eccentric, bohemian, egotistical and utopian ... it also governs creative will, sudden change, revolution and dictators, individualism, ingenuity, rebellions and autonomy ... often its actions are sudden, unexpected, and sometimes very violent and disruptive ... it is a planet that is a breaker of tradition ... it is the natural ruler of the nervous system, rules the sign of Aquarius and if you've had a natal chart done, wherever you find Uranus is most likely where you tend to do the unusual ...
Uranus in Aries is energy whose mission it is to blaze new trails in science and social reform ... freedom to act in ones own way is of paramount importance ... there is courage, daring, initiative and resourcefulness ... if this energy becomes afflicted it can turn explosively impulsive, politically fanatic and violent ... this energy can make one very blunt and outspoken ... it demands change and refuses to live in the style of the parents or preceding generations ... the spirit of adventure is strong, and constant new experiences are required in order to remain happy and productive ... impulsiveness and bad temper are the pitfalls with this energy ... the challenge is to learn to develop more consideration towards others and a greater ability to cooperate ... when the urge for such great indiviualism this energy produces is carried out to extremes, it can blind people to the social structure on which a collective group endeavor depends ... no doubt the children born during this transit will certainly be some of the movers and shakers of the future ... Uranus was last in Aries from 1928 - 1934 ... it takes Uranus approximately 84 years to make one complete transit around the entire zodiac ...
Uranus in Aries is a pioneer that is quick to make a complete break from the conventional and take off in new, unexplored directions - including both social reform and new breakthroughs in science ... with the advancement of technology today just think of the possibilities the positive use of the energy could yield !!! ... it is said that Uranus in Aries liberates one impetuously ... there is a strong need for freedom and openness ... and when one breaks loose they will do so energetically, quickly and assertively ... the basic intention of Uranus in Aries is to re-assert one of the most fundamental human rights - the freedom to do what you want to do, and with this raw and primitive impulse, it can give rise to extremes including on one side being the reactionary and rebel to the other side of harnessing the courage and stamina to stick to ones resolve in the battle to lay the foundation for a new beginning in some field of human endeavor ...
Aquarian born, this is a major shift for you as Uranus is your ruling planet and will undoubtedly produce some new directions for your life to take ... if you have had a natal chart done and know if you are an Aquarius Rising or have an Aquarian Moon, this energy will certainly have a major impact on you as well ... but this transit will have a huge impact on all of us somewhere in our lives that will have the potential to be either liberating and move us forward on the cutting edge or it might be highly disruptive ... also if you've had a natal chart done, you will know where the sign of Aries falls and what stage of life this dramatic shift will most likely play out on, and where the lessons are being produced for you to learn and grow from ...
Needless to say, Aries born individuals this is a major shift for you as well ... at some point during this transit, Uranus will pass over your natal Sun and there will surely be some situations in your life where you will be infused with the energy to break free from some restraint or blockage that is hindering your personal growth ... people may see you as becoming very assertive and independent all of a sudden ... make no mistake, you will brook absolutely no outside interference - it will be wise to follow you or get the hell out of your way !!! ... if you have any natal planets in Aries these will be affected as well when Uranus crosses over them at some point ...
We are only going to get a small glimpse for now of what Uranus in Aries may hold in the years ahead as Uranus wil begin to "slow down" in June for its next retrograde period which begins in early July ... that means this heightened impulsively and electrical energy will be subjected to a higher and more intense vibrational rate, so who knows what all may happen during the month of June ... it could be a very bumpy month for many people in many areas of their lives ... Uranus will briefly return to the sign of Pisces on August 14th for some last minute business before it returns in 84 years ... it will re-enter the sign of Aries for its complete transit on March 12th, 2011 ...
Uranus will remain in Aries from that point until March of 2019 due to retrograde motion, so this entire transit will be a little longer than the normal 7 years ... although the challanges will abound under this energy, the Universe is giving mankind the opportunity to make great strides and improve the quality of life through courage and dedication ... and one thing is for sure during this transit - CHANGE WILL COME SO BE PREPARED TO EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED !!!

FOREVER YOUNG !!!
The Sun began it's yearly gallop through the sign of Gemini on Thursday night, May 20th, at 11:34 PM EDT - the final astrological sign of the Spring season ... it's all about aquiring knowledge, communicating in many ways and constantly being on the move ... sooooo ... get ready ... get set ... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!
In Gemini, the Sun needs to shine fluently - one may gain or seek recognition for their verbal skills and their ability to be highly creative through perceptiveness and the ability to compare, contrast, and find connections between ideas ... there is a need to shine by being versatile - here is a natural drive towards a wide ranging curiosity which could also get you into trouble or end up causing you to be too scattered ... a wide variety of talents, social contacts and hobbies will assist one in their self-expression ... there is also a need to shine for ones agility and flexibility - one could achieve recognition through their dexterity, adaptability or enhanced eye-hand coordination ... and there is a need to seek recognition for ones mental brilliance - one wants to feel proud of their intelligence, rationality and logic ... there is a tendency here to be ego-vulberable regarding ones mental and communication skills ... pride and shame issues are tied to the mind in this sign ... and ultimately one needs to express themselves verbally and to achieve positive recognition for their intellect ...
Gemini is a masculine/air/mutable(flexible) sign ... its symbol is the Twins - associated with duality, humanism, versatility and communication ... the picture is that of two figures standing side by side with a line over the top and the bottom - also known as the glyph for the Roman numeral 2 ... symbolically, these two upright lines bounded on the top and the bottom represent wisdom, learning, and the power of the mind to synthesize information ... Gemini's key phrase is "I THINK" and its keyword is "VERSATILITY" ... Anatomically it rules the hands, arms, shoulders and lungs thus making this energy prone to strains and accidents with the arms and hands as well as being prone to bronchitis and respiratory ailments ... Gemini is the sign opposite to Sagittarius in the zodiac ...
As you certainly aware of by now, Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini in addition to the sign of Virgo ... Mercury - the ancient messenger of the Gods ... in astrology it rules travel and communication with its main emphasis being quick cleverness and a nervous temperament ... but it also bestows somewhat of a fickle nature that tends to arouse unexpected anger in others sometimes the depth of which Gemini energy misjudges ... its keyword is "REASONING ABILITY" ... it therefore rules reason, mental and cerebral capacity, ability to communicate, intellect, awareness, dexterity, rationalization, transmission, words, opinion, and sensory perceptions ... its action is quick, uncertain, and volatile ... it deals with travel - especially short trips, brothers and sisters, children, clerking, speaking, writing, bookkeeping, secretaries, neighborhood activities, letters and mailings, means of transportation, trade, and techniques ... in your natal chart the place where you find Mercury shows how and where you communicate the best ... anatomically, Mercury rules the nervous system, brain, sight, hands and arms ...
Gemini is the natural ruler of the 3rd house of the horoscope ... this is the house of side-by-side relationships whose keyword is "AWARENESS" ... the 3rd house shows the local environment you live in, your brothers and sisters, and all forms of communication - speaking, writing, and singing ... it indicates all means of transportation including short trips ... it shows the adaptability of ones mind to learning and to new ideas, the ability to relate to ones environment, and ones taken-for-granted skills ... this house shows the conscious and objective portion of ones mind as well as ones primary schooling ...
The essence of the Sun in Gemini is living through communicating ... the contact maker ... one who is forever young ... Gemini is famous for its dualistic and sometimes contrary nature ... word and mind play is an endless source of amusement here ... versatility rules - everything is equally interesting to Gemini therefore making it most likely one of the least prejudiced of the 12 signs of the Zodiac ... Gemini has an extremely lively imagination making it one of the most artistically creative Signs as well ... ironically one can lack the imagination to see that in using ones imagination it draws one into a closer intimacy with life itself, but getting deeply involved is the Twins weakest ability ... ultimately one must realize that the answer to the eternal Gemini questioning lies within the imagination and not the brain!!! ... the energy of the Sun in Gemini can be expressed in the following ways:
POSITIVE: amusing, perceptive, witty, eloquent, swift, ingenious, quick on the uptake, mobile, versatile, flexible, adaptable, imaginative, non-dogmatic, sees both sides, light touch, objective, clever mind, informative, resourceful
NEGATIVE: cheap, glib, sarcastic, chatterbox, fly, devious, shifty, evasive, dabbler, two-faced, fickle, "chases rainbows", non-commital, indecisive, superficial, aloof, unable to see the whole picture, bluffer, involved in excessive gossip
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEMINI BORN !!! ... yes, this blog is longer than some, but after all, information IS what Gemini craves!!! ... the Sun remains in the sign of Gemini until June 21st ... respect your own dreams and avoid cutting corners in your pursuit of them ... more importantly, pay attention to the "value" of what you say ... Gemini is truly a very youthful oriented energy, so for the next few weeks just enjoy being a kid again !!!

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS !!!
Venus, the planet of love, affection, attraction, and social interactions and desires, began its transit through the sign of Cancer yesterday evening, May 19th, at 9:05 PM EDT ... moving through a water sign, Venus takes on an even more emotional connection to everything it is attracted to ... Venus in Cancer enjoys home, food, nuturing and/or dependency ... it can be very sensitive and protective in relating to people, and it appreciates emotional warmth and attachments ... affection is expressed protectively, tenaciously, nuturingly and in a kind manner ... pleasure is found through security ... ones comfort level may well depend on feeling like part of a family ... there is a preference here to share within a very closely attached group ... if one should lack faith under this energy, there could be a result of moodiness, shyness, overprotection - including self and others, and stinginess which could interfere with the potential for closeness and the ability to enjoy life ... money and possessions are usually handled cautiously ... there is a desire here to nuture and/or be nutured in ones love relationships ... closeness here involves dependency, caretaking and receptivity ... this Venusian energy can be somewhat thin-skinned and truly needs to hear the words "I love you" often ...
The essence of Venus in Cancer is loving through nurturing ... it believes that home is indeed where the heart is ... the expression of love here is tied into the need to give or receive comfort and security ... there is the trap here to become so concerned with receiving love that you forget the quality and quantity of love you actually give ... love here is usually of the most instinctive kind ... there is a romantic leaning towards the sentimental ... there also comes a rather changeable nature in showing or accepting affection which usually is a result of doubts about ones own attractiveness ... home and family are central to ones happiness here ... there is the possibility that one possesses cooking, decorating, or other domestic skills under this energy ... sometimes the fear of change and/or disruption within the home and family can yield worry which physically expressed manifests in the form of stomach or throat problems ... the energy of Venus in Cancer can be expressed the following ways:
POSITIVE: gentle, kind, tender, romantic, sentimental, sensitive, compassionate, dreamy, devoted, loyal, unselfish, dependable, caring, protective, motherly, sympathetic, home-making, reassuring, comforting
NEGATIVE: timid, gooey, fawning, easily hurt, moody, muddled, clingy, too attached, weak-willed, dependent, fussy, shy, insecure, fears unfamiliar, gluttonous, vulnerable, taking others for granted, emotional threatening, inhospitable
Cancer born individuals, this is your time to "glow" as Venus moves through your birth sign ... be sweet and kind enough and you just might get what you ask for !!! ... Venus remains in the sign of Cancer until June 14th ... for all of us, perhaps we could try and use Mother Nature as a "role model" for how to nurture and nourish ourselves and others ... allowing others to sometimes lean on you will help prevent you from continuously leaning on others too much ... by admitting to our hopes and what hurts us we can ultimately encourage others to do so as well ... but also be on guard as the old saying goes, one who indulges - bulges !!! ... for now we should all stand up and, no matter where we consider it to be, click our heels 3 times and repeat "there's no place like home" !!!

Venus remains in the sign of Cancer until June 14th ... for all of us, perhaps we could try and use Mother Nature as a "role model" for how to nurture and nourish ourselves and others ... allowing others to sometimes lean on you will help prevent you from continuously leaning on others too much ... by admitting to our hopes and what hurts us we can ultimately encourage others to do so as well ... but also be on guard as the old saying goes, one who indulges - bulges !!! ... for now we should all stand up and, no matter where we consider it to be, click our heels 3 times and repeat "there's no place like home" !!!

MOVING ON !!!
Mercury completed its retrograde journey earlier this evening, 5/11, and stationed back into direct motion at 6:27 PM EDT - HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... time to ease back into the forward swing of things on many levels ... over the next few days to the next few weeks or even months, there may be some "a-ha" lights coming on in regard to decisions made during the retrograde period from 4/17-18 through today 5/11 and possibly as far back as 4/4 when Mercury entered its shadow point - the point where it would come out of the retrograde journey this evening which was at 2 degrees of Taurus ... what actions did you take or were taken against you in regards to your relationships/partnerships both public and private that you may be regretting or simply wondering why you chose or were the victim of that particular course of action, and why didn't you or the other person wait a little longer or are simply now wondering why it happened ???? .... did you make any major purchases - homes, cars, electronics - that now don't seem like the best thought out course of action ??? ... there could be problems regarding any purchases made with anything where electrical energy and/or computers were involved .... relationships may have come to an end - some needed to and others may have jumped the gun and you are now wondering, or will be, why did I do that or end things at this point ... all of these scenarios are possible as the energy of a Mercury retrograde is one where communications and mental energy is going "backwards" ... also, did your personal values undergo some kind of test in order for you to rethink what is truly important and of "value" to you ... some of you may have lost your jobs as we were also having to review and rethink how we earn and how we spend our money ... now there may be a few instances where nothing really major happened rather only minor annoyances ... those of you born with your natal Sun between 2 and 12 degrees of Taurus may also have had something significant to occur during this retrograde as Mercury passed back over your natal Sun ... (hint: if you have, or have not, had a natal chart run that means your birthday falls roughly between April 22nd and May 4th ... also any new beginnings made and contracts signed during the retrograde period may not pan out in the end as the energy simply won't be supported ... new jobs begun or accepted during the retrograde period may not prove to be what they were supposed to be or completely fall apart ... Mercury in Taurus already "slows" down the mental process with Taurus being an Earth sign, and adding retrograde energy to it just complicates matters ... there could have been issues with the throat and neck as these are the anatomical areas of the body Taurus rules ... of course Gemini and Virgo born your period of review and reflection is over once again so you may start your engines and continue your quest - in fact we all can !!!
Mercury remains in the sign of Taurus until June 9th/10th - depending on what time zone you live in, and will continue in direct motion until it begins its next retrograde journey for this year in mid August.... we can all now take a deep breath and proceed to bust a move forward - just remember once again Mercury moving through Taurus is a slower moving mental processing capacity, so don't try moving on too far too fast to begin with as Mercury will not be out of the retrograde zone - the degree of Taurus, which was 12 degrees - where it began its backward journey !!!
