I meant to blog about all three eclipses this Spring but in the true nature of an eclipse (packing a bigger punch than a full moon when it comes to crazy), I have had an action packed few weeks that piled onto my plate the following: a lot of new work, totaling my Dad's car in a traffic jam 'rear ending' situation - ugh, and on a positive note, some really fun events with friends. In short, I could never grab a minute to post.
However, I didn't want Memorial Day Weekend to go by without at least alerting you all of tonight's Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse. I will keep it short and sweet. The two signs involved are Sagittarius and Gemini. The Sun is in Gemini - lots of your Gemini friends have birthdays right? And the moon is in Sagittarius.
Consider the elements of a Sagittarius for what this Full Moon Eclipse might inspire us to do. I read a blog post today that I really liked and I can't seem to find it again to share with you. It read something to the effect of.....we need to get out ahead of our desires and dreams instead of waiting for the Universe to give us a sign. Sag has a broad mind, sees broad horizons and doesn't stick with the status quo. Perhaps the lesson here is empowering us to take ownership of what lays before us like a firey Sagittarius.
Keep in mind eclipses may effect things for several weeks before and after they happen, and they make things a bit crazier (for good and bad) than a Full Moon does by itself. They create a lot of energy out there for people to react. SO, if you are wondering what all the crazy is - the eclipse can be your explanation this weekend.
There's your news flash. Short and Sweet!

Eclipses...again
I'm about a week late on this post. But, I didn't want to leave you all hanging during what is supposed to be an astrologically significant time - Thus the following post on Spring eclipses.
If you've ever taken 7th grade science you know what an eclipse is...technically. And if you've read my blog in the past then you know what an eclipse is....astrologically.
You don't remember???? Alright, let me refresh you. A lunar eclipse happens always at the full moon and signifies the culmination and ripening of a situation. Pretty much any full moon signifies this, but the fact this full moon is during a lunar eclipse makes it stronger. A solar eclipse happens at the new moon and can signify a new beginning.
Ooooh Look! A diagram that I stole it off the internet!
The lunar eclipse on April 25 is followed by a solar eclipse May 10 and another lunar eclipse May 25. Thus, eclipse season. Eclipses shake things up.... here we go!
Last week on April 25 there was a full moon in the sign of Scorpio while the Sun is in Taurus. This means that there will be a push pull between the energies represented by Taurus and by Scorpio. Taurus represents worldly belongings, matter, security and life's simple tangible 'things.' Scorpio represents change, transformation, and belongings you share with others. The Universe will be challenging us to let go of that which makes us feel secure in order to transform and move forward in our lives. Do you know any Taurus folks? Then you know this sign is one-hell-ov-a stubborn bull. Imagine all of us embodying this huff and puff, holding on for dear life as the Universe asks us to LET IT GO. What do you need to let go in order to move forward in your life? Good question....
Scorpio in the other hand encourages us to look to transform and delve into the mysteries of life. Scorpio is highly emotional and brings those things that we've buried deep down to come to the surface, whether it be our ignored needs or wishes. Not so comfortable, a little scary, but it's our path. We all know what we are supposed to do, just keep asking your inner voice.
These same planets were involved in the eclipses that also happened this past November 2012. So you may see issues that you were dealing with in November, come back to the surface to resolve or break away.
You may see this lunar eclipse effect your life in the next few weeks, or the subsequent eclipses effect your life even up until June 8. The eclipses are happening all Spring and play off one another, so look out for the unexpected change, epiphanies and other interesting surprises in your life that encourage you to let go of your comfort zone and change.
I will try and post again next week about what you can expect from the eclipse May 10.

Illumination, the Full Moon
Tomorrow there is a Full Moon factor. I remembered I wanted to write about it last night as I peeked out my window to see which neighbor had left their porch light on. This happens to me once a month (obviously just once a month). I always notice a light shining in my window as bright as a light bulb and I realize it's just the big luminous full moon. Last night I felt like the (almost) full moon was shining its beam right through my blinds and onto the exact spot where I sleep in my bed. I wondered if that direct light and energy shining all night effects a person. So I did some homework and here is how it might be effecting your world.
This month's full moon occurs tomorrow March 27 at 5:28am EST in the sign of Libra. Full moons bring things to a culmination usually involving emotions. Libra rules balance, harmony, love, and relationships. Opposing this full moon is the Sun is in Aries, the sign of basic self needs and action. Libra and Aries are opposite signs directly across from one another on the zodiac wheel so this is especially interesting.
It means there is a tug of war or things finally come to a head, to light, etc. On one side of the rope you have the 'self' (Aries) and on the other 'partnership' (Libra). There may come to pass a conflict on expressing yourself in a relationship, choosing a relationship over yourself, or some other combination of sorts between what YOU want and need and what can make a partnership feel balanced. So don't be afraid to change, speak up for yourself, or listen to what someone you love needs and be open to letting your grip go in order to achieve balance and change.
And to give this whole opposition another big bang, Venus, Mars and Uranus are all also in the sign of Aries. Venus reps love, money, relationships (note this isn't JUST romantic relationships and love but the whole gambit). Uranus is unpredictability and self expression. Mars is that planet moving things forward through action. So what the hell does all this mean? Here's the best I understand.... it means that the Universe will take all those aspects of your life, mentioned above (love or money, a struggle between self and relationships, unpredictable events and action), shake 'em up and throw them back out on the table in a new formation. The pieces of your life will look a bit different after the fact, but it's a good thing. This is a moment in the sky when we are all getting bit of astrological transformation.
So there you have it. This is supposed to be a powerful full moon. Transformative, surprising, and a bit rough.
I'd love to hear your feedback on what's going on in your life.....anything crazy happen? Post a comment below or on Facebook.

Fire....FINALLY!
My last post in February was about all the heavenly bodies above our heads being in the sign of Pisces - the watery sign of the fish. It's a sign that takes the path longest traveled, winds about, moves and is swayed by the slightest force of wind and feels emotional, nebulous and indirect.
If you've been eager or impatient to make much needed changes in your life, this energy may have driven you insane. Even as a water sign myself (I'm a Cancer), this drove me nuts. I wanted to shake life by the shoulders and say MOVE!
But fear not! Tomorrow, March 12, Mars - the planet of passion, action and drive will enter the sign of Aries where it is VERY at home. The zodiac sign of Aries is ruled by Mars so these two get along quite nicely. The flowy energy we've all been dealing with will ignite with fire, decision, drive, and motion forward. HOORAY. Are you guys ready?
Mars stays in this sign until April 20, 2013, so expect this period to be about aggression, action, making choices, having choices made for you (by dear ole Universe), things heating up, and feeling impulsive.
One thing about Aries, that I've described in earlier posts, is that this sign can almost be like a newborn baby. All that is important are the needs of the here and now. So during this time, people may be impatient to make decision and take action where they don't give a lot of thought to consequence or the needs of those around them. But, at this point, who cares!!!! We have had PLENTY of time to consider other people's feelings the last month or so while Pisces - an emotional planet - ruled our actions.
So be prepared, good luck and keep me posted on what fires get lit and what fireworks explode in your world!

Give in and go with the Pisces flow.
Are you someone who can't operate efficiently in anything but absolutes and that can't stand nebulous-ness (I know, I know. Is that even a word?).
I am posting today because I have heard similar themes in the sentiments spoken among my friends in the past few weeks that sound like echoes of what I've said to myself.
For me, life - (ehhh, let's not blame it on life), I have been a bit unclear, hazy, and even a little uncommitted in direction. It seems that life sends me off in one direction then changes it's mind and pulls me back in the seemingly opposite direction. So how am I supposed to get anywhere zig zagging back in forth? For someone who likes their path to be more concrete, clear and firm - it's been insanely confusing. But then I found some validation in the stars. Of course.
On February 1st, Mars (the planet of action, aggression and passion) entered the sign of Pisces. If you remember my post about the zodiac sign of Pisces - it's this floaty, dreamy, creative, emotional sign focused on the inner journey of the soul. It deals less in action and more in passivity. Pisces goes with the flow. Pisces operates on intuition and not a physical compass of logic. Pisces loves to dream.
So what does it mean when the planet Mars floating above all of our heads moves into a sign like Pisces? It means that Mars will take on the qualities of Pisces and our actions will be less action-ey and more thoughtful, feely, and seemingly 'go with the flow.' Not real fun when you are anxious to dive into making some real progress.
If we can give in to going with the flow and know that this is the energy that we need to work with, it might help us all from going crazy. Anne Ortelee in her column last week, described a sailboat.
http://anneortelee.com/?paged=2
She suggested that sometimes you have to use the wind instead of fighting to go against the wind. It may seem like you are going the wrong direction and away from shore for a while, but that is really just how you use the wind (or energy) to get to the right place. Maybe it doesn't make sense at the time, but all this curvy trail we are following is actually the better trail than the straight forward one. If you can see it from a distance, this picture above and the one below make sense. Who is gonna plow through that mountain instead of following the road that curves to and away from the mountain. Why not float on the lazy river that takes a little longer instead of struggling to hack through the forrest. And along the way, maybe we are gaining a deeper insight from the journey. And all the maneuvers we need to sail or drive or float will be valuable once we reach the destination.
Secondly, last Tuesday, Mercury (the planet of communication) entered Pisces as well. So apply the aforementioned descriptors to any and all communication going in your life until April 13 (which is when it shifts into Aries). People may be less committed, more ethereal, and definitely speaking from an emotional place.

This is a whole heck of a lot of Pisces energy to deal with. So my plan - Give in and go with dang flow.

Your year in a minute
Happy New Year friends!Humor me.....
I thought these little one minute video forecasts by Anne Ortelee were fun.
You can send the links to your friends, warning those Cancers and Geminis about their forecasted weight gain and your Aries friends about the crazy about to ensue, YIKES!
Just click the pink link below!
http://www.buzzfeed.com/nowthisnews/2013-horoscopes-all-the-signs-749g
You should know your Sun sign by now, so watch the appropriate video. AND if you know your rising sign, watch that one too (it's of equal importance.)
If you don't know your rising sign, you can calculate it by the link below if you know your birth time and city. Your rising sign is the Ascendent sign, or the sign coming into the horizon at the exact time and place of your birth.

New Year, New Page
Happy New Year's Eve!
Symbolically the new year brings a new fresh white page. We bring the tools, the crayons, the paints and pencils that we have collected from experience and efforts of the past and then . . .
We create what we WILL!
(Although every single day really brings that clean white page.)
The future isn't set in stone or decided for us; we make choices. (Thus my capitalization of the word WILL)
However, there is energy out there in the Universe guiding us, assisting us, sometimes challenging us in creating the future. Therefore it's often interesting to consult your horoscope. I'll call it fun. I mean some people make stock market type decisions by this stuff. I just use it to validate myself. At the end of the day, these daily, weekly, monthly and yearly horoscopes can give you a little insight into the energy of the present.
For the new year, I have compiled a list sites that I often peruse when I am wondering what the hell is going on up in the sky. Those moments when I ask myself: Why is today so friggin' hard, so peaceful, so boring, so crazy, so energetic, so amazing? Sometimes the forecasts help validate those questions.
Here are my favorite sites for . . .
