Lunations - Trends for All Signs

FULL MOON PRENUMBRAL LUNAR ECLIPSE occurs on August 5, 2009 at 08:54:53 PM EDST
Yes! Amazingly enough, we have another Lunar Eclipse this month! I actually am optimistic about this remarkable lunation chart! This Full Moon in Aquarius opposing the Leo Sun forms a sweet trine to Mars in Gemini. The Lights oppose on all Full Moons and the key to benefiting from this configuration is balance. Here we embrace a balance between higher mind (Aquarius) and devotional heart (Leo). The trine with Geminian Mars allows us to be motivated as we see both sides of pressing issues clearly and without judgment. Counselors and healers will celebrate this lunation! Those who feel stuck or are struggling will expand their vistas of consciousness and open up to powerful choices.

NEW MOON occurs on August 20, 2009 at 06:01:36 AM EDST
This New Moon profoundly enhances the energy of the Lunar Eclipse earlier this month. The Lights are kissing in late Leo and opposing Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune - all retrograde in Aquarius. Reconsideration of options and the cooperation of others in finding solutions to issues regarding prosperity, health and perception is assured! With this trilogy of planets still retrograde we may have to return to past solutions to navigate successfully into our futures. The Lights form a trine to retrograde Pluto in Capricorn as it entertains a Grand Mutable Square. We gather as the knights of old at the round table of brainstorming, knowing that there will be many battles before the war is won. The Dragon is merely playing possum!

PLANETARY ALERTS

Neptune Retrograde Alert
Neptune in Aquarius stationed retrograde on May 29th at 12:30 AM EDST and remains so until November 4th at 01:10 AM EST! Remarkable artifacts bathed in antiquity come to the fore! The Discovery Channel will have a field day! Expect even dramas to contain sunken treasure, amazing computations by ancient cultures of celestial spheres and stunning archaeological discoveries! Tributes to man's imagination and innovation will also be in evidence. This is a provocative and inspirational cycle! As our Earth is changing, what can we learn and apply from the archives of ancient history? Stay tuned!

Chiron Retrograde Alert!
Chiron, the wounded healer, joined Neptune in Aquarius as a retrograde companion at 01:12 AM EDST on May 30th, 2009 and they draw closer to one as the months go by. Chiron remains retrograde until October 30th, 2009! Emphasis is on faith and healing and how we can tap into the cycles of history to better understand the cycles of the Earth and humanity. This can be a deeply emotional time and allows for emotional, spiritual and physical healing on the root level. Often we must return to the point of pain or disappointment to debride our emotional wounds before they can be completely healed. Experts will be delving back into ancient texts regarding famines, floods, prophecy, astrology and miracles as they seek to understand the evolvement of this planet.

Jupiter Retrograde Alert!
Jupiter stationed retrograde in Aquarius at 03:51 AM EDST on June 15, 2009 and will remain so until October 13th at 00:36 AM EDST. Jupiter is the largest planet and it magnifies everything it touches! It speaks of wonder, wealth and abundance. As it retrogrades, we will find ourselves redefining both our inner and outer prosperity. Because Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron are all retrograde and conjunct in Aquarius, many of us will reclaim our faith, seek to return to a previously more inspiring time and we will feel thankful for the health we enjoy. The Aquarian energy in and of itself is altruistic, humane and innovative. Even in lean times, we can birth new technologies and philosophies if we but work together toward our goals.

Uranus Retrograde Alert!
Uranus stationed retrograde in Pisces on July 1, 2009 at 03:37AM EDST and will remain so until December 1, 2009 at 03:27PM! This ponderous planet literally appears to stand still for nearly 10 days as it stations! This year, Mercury in Gemini, moves into a square formation with it for several days! This will feel like Mercury retrograde - even though it is not! The energy that emerges from this configuration is one of recollection and a call to re-envision what the labor pains of our ancestors has brought forth. This is a great time to bring freedom and compassion back into our World after strife and cling tenaciously to our ideals!

Pluto Retrograde Alert!
Pluto stationed retrograde in Capricorn on April 4, 2009 at 01:35 PM EDST and remains so until September 11, 2009 at 12:57 PM EDST!!! Saturn is Capricorn's ruler, emphasizing re-evaluation of matters regarding government, the military, organizations that protect and serve the public as well as rulers throughout the World. Pluto, due to its slow and erratic orbit, is a planet of process and transformation. Its retrograde status is an indicator that future solutions may lie in the past, and history and honor will play a role in the changes we face as inhabitants of this planet called Earth...

Those that you love can become frustrated with a myriad of problems. This stellium also forms a quincunx to Mercury and Saturn conjunct in Virgo.
