Blessings on this Lunar New Year!

The Lunar New Year is upon us. Today's New Moon is at 4:41:51 EST in just less than an hour. This is the next event in a chain we have been experiencing throughout the recent eclipse cycle in Capricorn and the recent full conjunction of Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn.
The intense energy you are feeling is due to a stellium in Capricorn of Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn, Ceres, and our Moon, and Sun in Conjunction forming a stellium in Aquarius with Mercury.
I suggest quiet contemplation and meditation to reflect on the last year and particularly the last six months. 

Next, place focus on the coming year especially the next six months. Ask yourself what you really want deep within your heart. The time is now to really act as if! This is how you are going to make it happen.

Juno forms a tense with Saturn and Pluto during the lunar event. She is the Queen of Heaven in Astrology, a Great Mother Goddess who represents marriage, entitlement, conjugal issues and partnership particularly in in legal unions.

Suggestion to appease this are connecting with nature quietly, meditating, and visualizing a firm foundation on which to build your dreams. Much of this chart is in the 7th house giving fortification to the areas of partnerships. These can be at any level.
Sky God Uranus squares the Sun and Moon's conjunction spurring erratic behavior especially in public. Please be careful on the roads!

Neptune is conjunct Venus giving a dreamy fairy-tale feel to this event. Remember that the Fae are most powerful and it is easy to become trapped by them in their realm!
This can also inspire profound psychic phenomena. Watch your dreams and tune into all feelings and sensations.

Mars in Sagittarius wants us to take leadership roles and to become crystal clear in our goal-setting. Be sure to maintain your independence throughout this process.
Reach out to those you love and tell them as you release the ego-mind and dive deeply into your heart.

Here is the chart for today's event:

Blessings on the coming Lunar year!

Jupiter in retrograde 2018, is it misty or just me?

A little planetary wisdom about the current celestial sky from Ambika Devi!

 

The last few days have brought forth conversations with clients, students, and friends asking questions about the feel of the current energy around us. My response has been that this is likely due to Jupiter's position and current retrograde where he is presently in the sign of Scorpio.

Yesterday on May 10, the great gassy, giant reached perihelion which is when he is closest to our Sun. All of this heat can scorch projects that have been cooking on your creative stove. Take care to give them proper attention.

Jupiter governs our quest for truth and knowledge. He represents our greatest teachers. Look around; perhaps something you thought you were done with has resurfaced? The greatest investment that can be made in honor of Jupiter is learning.

The topic of struggle seems to be a current theme and so I offer this little book by Stuart Wilde,

Life Was Never Meant to be a Struggle.

The sign of the scorpion gives us the potential of razor-like attention and insists we dive deeply into all personal matters. This assures our ability to clean them out more successfully. 

Great things can come of this transit should you choose to point your focus inward. Dial in past the smoky curtain of confusion and place your primal instincts in a temporary time-out. This is going to help you keep your composure and prevent unwanted mistakes!
