JUDICIOUS JANUARY

CAPRICORN:

Try not to be a bully or to throw your weight around too much this month. However, this is an excellent time for transformation and making those changes you’ve thought about for a while now. The big changes best made after January 8th. Financial improvement should make you happy at this time. Old grudges may need to go too! Isn’t it about time for that? Your energy should be up with you ready to tackle things nicely. Pay your bills on time and only make promises that you intend to keep, please!

AQUARIUS:

Aren’t you looking good about now! You seem to be exuding an extra measure of charm this month as well. Finances should improve as the month progresses. The rulers of your Sun, Saturn and Uranus, are in harmony, which helps to assist you in getting things accomplished, as well in self-improvement.  Make important decisions after the 8th and you’re likely to stick with your plan now. Your strange dreams may help you to resolve a problem or two. Saving major purchases for a month or two might be wise. 

PISCES:

You should have enough energy this month to accomplish all your tasks. There is some tendency to run feisty, however, so try not to be too pushy! Watch spending! Or you could burden yourself with too many payments. Trust your instincts at all times this month, this year, for your intuition is being fine-tuned and improved upon. A friend of yours could be placed in a position of power! And an old friend could re-enter your life. Try not to set goals too high to reach or you’ll create too much frustration for yourself.

ARIES:

Your dreams could be strange yet eventful now. Erotic or prophetic? This is not the best time to confront the boss about a promotion or raise unless summoned for that exact reason. Authority figures may prove demanding or difficult. Favor is cast upon your significant other at this time. Be happy for them. A new friendship may prove most helpful about now. Self-discipline is strong and may be necessary now. Legal matters should be resolved in a favorable manner. Your mind tends to run deep about now.

TAURUS:

Legal matters could prove heavy duty this month, so you need to be well prepared. Please try not to sign any contracts until after the 8th when MERCURY is direct. Also expect delays when it comes to travel, possibly all month. This is a good time to consider your investments, which should be doing well about now. There could be improvement in the work environment and business travel looks okay. Group activities could present a challenge at this time with a contentious individual involved. Patience!

GEMINI:

Try to be your most charming when it comes to authority figures or approaching the boss this month. Romance is possible in faraway places or it might be a good time for a romantic getaway with your special someone. Since you’re ruled by MERCURY try not to make important decisions until after the 8th, especially investment decisions. Your significant other may be dealing with difficult matters at this time, so try to be kind. Things should work out fine in the long run. Relationships with children now improve.

CANCER:

Your spouse or partner could prove bossy or demanding at this time, manipulative even, so be aware. Changes for the better in the work environment could be gradual and yet promising. It is work, work, work this month, this year, with positive results. Group activities produce the greatest satisfaction now. Travel with a lover is possible at this time. Home improvement may be on your list about now. Perhaps a new piece of furniture or artifact for the home is on your list? Choose with care and cost in mind.

LEO:

Back to work is the name of the game for you this month! Taking charge, getting organized for a new year, with your best decisions made after MERCURY turns direct on the 8th. Travel might turn out challenging at this time whether a short or long trip is involved. You may also find yourself to be over-sensitive at this time. Health matters should be attended to and not ignored. You could find your philosophy of life changing too this month, this year, with a more mature slant taken on life in general. Good job!

VIRGO:

Cooperation and helpfulness in general aid a new project you’re involved with. Try to avoid manipulative and controlling people this month, if possible. You could actually be running a touch feisty with the MARS opposition at this time. Or else, your partner or spouse is! This may not be the time to make a large investment, so perhaps wait a month or two. Challenges may involve family or the home in some respect. Creative projects move ahead faster after MERCURY turns direct on the 8th. So do children!

LIBRA:

This is a month, or even a year, when it might be best to avoid too much starch or sugar in your diet. JUPITER tends to bring all sorts of expansion into your life! A warning to the wise! You could be changeable with regard to projects you start or you just may be working on several different things at once. Finances could be up and down around for a short time. You tend toward serious matters at this time with positive long term results. Creative work is highly favored now, something that you really love and enjoy!

SCORPIO:

Good fortune may well result from old projects or ideas that you put on a shelf somewhere a while ago. Bring them out and dust them off and full speed ahead! Writing and self-expression of any sort are highly favored at this time. Romance could also be on your agenda on the written page or in your life! Re-evaluation is an excellent idea at this time. Those with authority or power may well help you from behind the scenes. Dealing with the unusual or paranormal could prove exciting this month, this year.

SAGITTARIUS:

Perhaps you’ve gotten use to climbing that mountain and are learning how to pace yourself for progress! Creative projects take on an unusual flavor and that could include your children or young people in general. The kids are doing quite well! An old or new friend could prove a godsend now, with friends in general proving positive. Group activities could be fun and annoying at the same time. Your significant other may not be able to quite make up his or her mind. Patience please! It will be better after the 8th!

       

DELIRIOUS DECEMBER

SAGITTARIUS:

This is a time to shoulder new responsibilities and that could mean considerable advancement in your work. Not everyone may give you the praise you deserve.  There could even be jealousy and envy from others, so realize your own worth and proceed accordingly. Care in spending might be a good idea for the moment. Try not to go overboard with holiday gifts. Social group activities should be lots of fun, however. Children or a lover may act out a bit. You try not to over-react to the situation.

CAPRICORN:

An attraction could become obsessive beyond your control at this time. Take care. Clandestine love is not out of the question now, one with a strong karmic connection. Trust your instincts at this time for they should be fully accurate in guiding you. Thinking about moving or just rearranging the furniture? Business travel is likely this month with some stress involved. Sign papers before or after Retrograde Mercury if you possibly can, please! Change is in the air for the New Year! Hold on tight!

AQUARIUS:

Your energy level should be high this month, but try not to overdo it! And strange as it  seems, you may not particularly be in a party mood this holiday season. Ah, humbug! You may enjoy quiet times and meaningful conversations instead. An old friend you haven’t seen for a while may show up again out of the blue! And one of your close friends may experience a big boost in terms of business. Brilliant ideas should flow through your mind, so write them down to exploit them in the proper time and place.

PISCES:

The long, slow NEPTUNE transit should bring out your creativity and intuitive abilities more and more as the years progress. Just don’t believe everything you hear this month. Somewhere, somehow there is deception around you. Be discerning! Career success and advancement could be outstanding at this time, even though you may not be fully aware of the pattern developing. Some group activities will be fun, others downright boring. A busybody relative or neighbor might cause trouble. Life becomes a bonus!

ARIES:

Strange dreams may be trying to warn you or tell you something, especially if older relatives are involved. Pay attention! You may be a social butterfly during this holiday season, so please enjoy! There is high favor from partners and/or spouses. Travel could prove more challenging than it might be worth. Why not enjoy the cozy fires at home and the companionship of close friends and family? Delays in legal matters may involve frustration. Patience is necessary at this time. Progress is made even though slowly!

TAURUS:

This is not the best time to confront the boss or supervisor about a raise or promotion. Bide your time. Travel could be fun, although expect delays and postponements. You could even get stuck in an interesting place filled with surprises. In fact, romance might bloom in faraway places. Elder care could be required of you at this time. Have you considered getting your will in order? Why not now? Job improvement comes about in a surprising manner. Enjoyable company with business associates this holiday season.  

GEMINI:

Feeling blue? You do have a mountain to climb still, especially you later Geminis. This is your opposition time when the other person has the advantage, so be nice to all those other persons! Your spouse or partner may have to work hard this month, so try to be supportive. You tend to lighten up as the month progresses. Not a great time for travel, so the holidays at home might be nice. A pleasant surprise may come from a child or a lover or both! You may find out lots of secrets at this time, some surprise you for sure!

CANCER:

Pay attention to your health and hygiene about now. Going off the diet with the holidays can be the source of some issues. Hiring and firing patterns also come to mind, but this might not be the time to make up your mind entirely. Your significant other may be filled with love for you this month. Open your arms and your heart. There could be interesting patterns in the home and with the family. This is also a good time to put money away for a rainy day. Your instincts are right on. Please pay attention!

LEO:

Romance is in the air and all around you. Love, love! And this one could turn out to be quite serious. Could it be commitment time? Serious talks may involve children or a lover or both! Not a good time to decide though. Love could very well show up at work when you least expect it! Travel could be fun with your new love, perhaps? Changes in your career appear favorable now. You could be admired for your independent thinking and original ideas. Creativity may be of the serious sort, with drama highly likely.

VIRGO:

There should be an improvement in your finances this month whether simply wages or a bonus. Serious considerations may involve your home or property of some kind, with long term results. There is an improvement in your relationship with young people, perhaps your own children. Decisions regarding children or young people, should take place after MERCURY turns direct in January, however. You should be looking good and feeling confident about your future. An increase of power is likely at this time.

LIBRA:

More travel or movement in general is likely at this time. Home improvement is also another possibility, even if it only means moving the furniture around to better suit you. Romance may involve a foreigner or one who lives far away from you. It may be complicated but fun. This is a good time for writing or self-expression of nearly any kind: Write, compose, paint, draw, design, invent to your heart’s content! Family connections seem to improve at this time. Your energy level should take you to the finish line.

SCORPIO:

Watch your spending this month, this year. Careful planning might be a good idea in terms of your finances in general. Although some form of self-expression could well pay off handsomely in the long run. This is a great time for creativity and expressing your talents. Out-of-body travel might be the ticket, no airfare required. This is a positive family time. There may well be healing in terms of an important relationship. You could be very busy around the home this month with positive results to boot!

JUPITER IN VIRGO

On August 11, 2015, the planet JUPITER, represented in Tarot by Key 10, THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE, enters the Constellation of VIRGO, indicated by Key 9, THE HERMIT, for the period of a year. JUPITER is considered by many to be in a weakened position in the sign of VIRGO, since it co-rules the opposite sign of PISCES.  PISCES rules emotional health, sleep and dreams, and VIRGO rules physical health, particularly the intestinal tract where health and/or illness is often known to commence. Every VIRGO individual, in addition to everyone really, needs to learn to eat right in order to provide the body and the mind with sufficient nutrients to maintain a healthy and fulfilling existence while on the planet. 

VIRGO is ruled by MERCURY, represented in the Tarot by Key 1, THE MAGICIAN, the intellect or conscious mind that has all the tools necessary at its disposal to live a purposeful and meaningful life: to include the will and enthusiasm of the Wands, the feelings and emotions of the Cups, the freedom of choice of the Swords, and the practical applications in life indicated by the Pentacles. The powers of Fire, Air, Earth and Water active in each and every life. Since VIRGO is ruled by MERCURY, and the Key Words for VIRGO are I ANALYZE, just about everyone should make a serious effort to make thoughtful and meaningful decisions during the coming year, for THE HERMIT is also assigned to the Hebrew letter Yod that represents the Hand of God. Divine Direction will be more than evident to each of us during the coming year, in the lives of individuals as well as in the roles of nations as a whole. Please take the time to analyze your own actions and words and the actions and words of others to avoid pitfalls and pain along the way. Each of us has done and said things that we wish we could take back later and that we sincerely regret. Try to make thoughtful decisions during the coming year.

Since JUPITER rules HIGHER MIND and HIGHER EDUCATION and VIRGO rules elementary education, we should see dramatic changes for the better in terms of educational systems the world over.  Higher ideals and purposes should more easily be made manifest to people of various classes and distinctions. This means it will also be an excellent time to further educate yourself whether that means going back to school to gain a higher educational degree or just taking workshops, attending lectures, or reading lots of books that enlighten and educate your mind. 

On another level this could also relate to becoming more conscious in terms of the foods you eat, and this might seriously impact the deceitful practice by some as regards the labeling of Genetically Modified Organisms, basically known as GMOs. Many nations around the world are already recognizing the dangers associated with messing with Mother Nature when it comes down to the food we eat. Progress may be made in this regard during the transit of JUPITER in VIRGO, although there are other planetary aspects that might well impede the making of such progress.

Travel for educational purposes should be commonplace for many during the coming year. It will be an excellent time to return to basics, perhaps to reread some books you read many years earlier to gain a better understanding now. And if not this summer, then perhaps next summer you can grow your own organic garden and benefit thereby. VIRGOS only need to be careful about gaining weight. Watch the sweets and starches, please, and you should be just fine!

 

 

 

JUPITER IN LEO

The planet JUPITER is currently transiting through the Constellation of LEO, the sign of GENERATION and REGENERATION in terms of the teachings of the Sacred Tarot. LEO is the sign that rules the heart, spine, and upper back. In terms of the spiritual evolution of the individual soul, it is when the Kundalini energy has reached the Heart Center or Chakra that true spiritual development starts to take place on a higher level, thus freeing the evolutionary energy of the Cosmos to rise higher through the centers in the throat to the Third Eye (in the Pineal gland in the brain situated behind the forehead) ultimately to reach the Crown Chakra (the Thousand Petal Lotus at the top of the head) where COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS either swiftly or eventually takes place. 

In the Western mystery school tradition this experience is sometimes referred to as the Completion of the Great Work, since the Kundalini or Serpent energy has risen from the charka at the base of the spine all the way to the Crown. The Heart Center, however, is a very important mid-point for the spiritual energy to express as the ability to love unconditionally and to express full and complete compassion. All spiritual Masters are known as Heart Masters or Masters of Compassion. 

Key 8, STRENGTH, which rules the sign of LEO, the eternal child in each and every one of us, is also referred to as the POWER OF SUGGESTION. "Monkey see...monkey do." The child tends to imitate their parents and other family members in terms of words and actions and also in terms of character patterns. The individual born under the sign of LEO tends to be basically STRONG, COURAGEOUS and NOBLE in terms of basic character traits. Honesty is extremely important. The transit of JUPITER, Key 10, here emphasizes the need for greater understanding in terms of affairs of the heart as well as greater understanding of the child within. Nurture the eternal child within you. Try not to be critical and faultfinding, since criticism tends to destroy the feelings of love others may feel for us. If you want to damage the feelings of your spouse or your lover, then by all means tell them what you think is wrong with them. Otherwise, still your own negativity, and try to remember, that without the beating of your heart there would be no life left in your body and you would soon be leaving this plane of existence. 

Exercise your heart on the physical plane as well as on emotional terms during the transit of JUPITER in LEO, and your ability to feel and express love will greatly expand and grow in capacity. My spiritual teacher Ann Davies used to say that 'even unrequited love is better than no love at all,' so learn to forgive those who seem to have rejected your love. Perhaps he or she has not yet developed the capacity to love. Not every soul is actually able to love, sad but true. With JUPITER here everyone will have the ability to reach greater understanding of the nature of love in oneself and in others. Kindness is important in any expression of love. Kindness is an aspect of love.

The trine of the planet URANUS to JUPITER over the next year will be especially favorable to financial patterns in the world at large and to an acceleration of consciousness in those ready for such an experience. If you MEDITATE during this time, you are likely to experience a heightened awareness not only during your meditations but at nearly all times. HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS is accelerating for all souls in any way ready for the experience. 

Travel with family and children should be particularly joyful at this time. I wish you every joy and success during the transit of JUPITER in LEO.

JUPITER IN CANCER

As we complete the transit of the protective planet JUPITER in the sign of CANCER, HUMANITY, collectively and individually, is enabled to raise their consciousness to a much higher level of awareness and to a much greater level of sensitivity that could be extremely beneficial to our individual and collective advancement and evolutionary growth. The JUPITER CENTER in the human body is located in the CANCER region of the body, the stomach area or Solar Plexus, the body's brain. This is the area of sometimes strong intuitive insights or warnings. It is when we get those gut feelings that tell us to either move forward or to avoid certain people or situations. When something doesn't feel right in our midsection, we shouldn't really do it. The Higher Self is trying to warn us in order to spare us from further pain or suffering during our current growth cycle of incarnation in a physical body or chariot. Your body is the chariot of your soul and life always seems to go much more smoothly when the Charioteer of the Higher Self is in control of our mind and of our lower emotions, since out of control emotions often lead to our ruination or at least to a minor downfall on the path of life.

On Key 7, THE CHARIOT, the Major Arcana Key for CANCER, the reigns governing the sphinxes of mind and emotion are invisible. The chariot of the body is driven forth by the Wheels of Fortune, the wheels of the law of physical manifestation under the benevolent auspices of JUPITER, exalted in CANCER, Father of the Gods, and determinant of the more fortunate aspects of our Karma in a given lifetime.

The current problem, however, is that JUPITER is dancing and completing a GRAND CARDINAL CROSS/SQUARE with PLUTO, URANUS and MARS, so that our transformations and growth are being forced in a sometimes dramatic or disruptive fashion, perhaps not entirely to our liking. It seems that we have to take our present tests (or medicine) in the hope of passing in order to move on to the next grade or stage of our lives. Just remember that JUPITER is the Great Protector and Benefactor in spite of all outward appearances to the contrary. At least when JUPITER moves on into LEO it will trine URANUS and provide some reason for celebration....at least for the moment!

703-373-7353   Let your motto be....THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
