Riders on the Storm into the Super Moon of January 30th.

We are almost ready to welcome in the Year of the Wood/Horse, which will arrive on Friday the day after the new moon a SUPER MOON, which is Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 5:40PM, EST.

Have you been organizing, cleaning and preparing?  Perhaps you are aware of subtle energies that have been pushing you as we wait in the starting gate, to begin our gallop into the new year?
This new moon is in Aquarius at 10* and forms a sextile to Uranus which is at 9* of Aries and moving into the next exact square to Pluto.

This is the supportive aspect we can tap into, which would be to make those changes and take those lessons you learned and move forward.   The changes should include new ways and/or approaches to your life, how will you invest your identity/ego (sun) as it mates with LaLuna (emotions/feelings) and how you mother your world/family.

Those steps into the future you have been preparing for and mulling over now, probably for the entire year if not longer; we are now leaving behind.

Can you work out of the home, using the internet somehow?  Can you create a mixture of working part time at home and part time in a physical location?  IF Not, then it will be time to move forward with a whole new attitude, or new way of ‘feeling’ about what you do and how you invest your ego/identity inside of that module.  When we marry the male and female aspect, we want to forge a new approach, and since this is the year of the horse, one which is well rested. We are ready to charge forward, reigned by the knowledge and wisdom the past few years have forged within us.

 We have all learned lessons, how our choices make us ‘feel’ and where we find ourselves inside our own story?  Where do those we love and those who love us, find us, both mentally, emotionally and physically?

We must find a way to enjoy our lives, and with Venus retrograde and also going direct at 13* of Capricorn on the 31^st. we have had plenty of time to review and revisit what we love, who we love and how we love.  What brings love into our world?

With all of that review, as we move forward, we now have a much better idea of the cost of love, or the cost of the ‘things’ we love, possessions, worldly goods that must be obtained through in this case, the Goat of Capricorn who climbs the ladder of
success, sometimes to look back (Janus) At the mountain climbed and purvey a hard won success, or to reassess and perhaps to reconsider that the toll has not been worth the investment and the energy expended to achieve what may have been only an illusory world that is always just one more step out of reach.

Venus asks us what we take pleasure in, and much like Hercules in his 2^nd labor, where he is tasked to kill the 9-headed Hydra (the desire for pleasure), every time he cuts off a head, three more appear in its place. The lesson in part, being that you cannot conquer the lust for pleasure through trying to avoid pleasure, we need pleasure, and Hercules learns he must cauterizes the severed head with fire to keep the passions from rising again in another form(another passion). 

So, I return to my initial query, have you been feeling restless?  Feel as though you just cannot move forward?  Well, I have been telling you to prepare for this forward momentum, and if we look to the degrees of 9, 10 and 11* of Aquarius, we are straddling the first decanate of Aquarius into the second which is Gemini of those same degrees, but also Libra in those degrees as well, since we hook into the PLUTO Square from Uranus in those same degrees on the Cardinal Cross that has been forming and then separating back and forth now, and will continue into the last square in 2015.

YOU ARE BEING FORGED, if you are one of the Cardinal signs; Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, and in these degrees: 8* through 15* in particular, and the emphasis is now on 9-12*.   Then this time frame and astrological aspects are affecting you on a much more intense level.  On November 01, 2013 we reached the midpoint of the squares, the next exact square occurring on April 21, 2014.  Pluto/Hades the transformer of POWER and Uranus/OURANOS the planet that represents new technology and inventions (the Age of Aquarius) but also the community in their square dance, have been transforming us and how we fit into the community, as the flames of Hades lick off the dross and stagnant shell that no longer fits us, we find ourselves restless, even as we search for energy necessary to make the changes .

As we reign in our new found forces, we are ready to gallop forward towards the next square.
Mars/Ares in Libra at 22* is still forming a wide trine to support Mercury/Hermes at 29* of Aquarius, in putting forth that energy and action into travel and communications, after we sift through a bit of the unsettling energy we are currently experiencing.  Hermes will soon go retrograde on February 6^th at 3* of Pisces, to make the trine more exact at 26* a couple of days after Valentine’s Day!  As we struggle to put the right words into order, contracts being re-written to hold the power of that energy, we can find a peace and a focus for our deeper concerns.

Speaking of horses, HERmes will almost meet up with Neptune/Poseidon who is at 4* of Pisces before turning around, and that moment is also forming a lovely trine to the head of the dragon which is at 2* of Scorpio.  OOooh, we can feel the sizzle of sensual healing coming on top of the Venus/Aphrodite retrograde to follow our spiritual core/purpose. Our dreams have been flashing across our PIneal matrix with our upgraded screens making everything deeper and more profound than ever.

Jupiter/Zeus at 12* of Cancer is firmly opposing Aphrodite/Hades conjunction, the lightening across the skies cracking open an ever deepening abyss, and for some, too deep to hang into the torment unleashed.  The doorways stand wide open, as many have chosen to make their transition into the next world, the river of living waters/tears that floods our world, not enough to water the drought on the West Coast, but certainly enough for the flash frozen collision as it hits the wall of the Arctic and pours itself out on the East Coast, now experiencing bitter cold temperatures not seen in decades.
I will be writing soon about some planetary changes/climate shifts to look for with new astrological aspects forming.

Our world is changing, being transformed and we along with it as we make decisions to move forward or cling to the skeletons of the past barely clothed in their tattered garments.

This is not to say to move forward with every new gust of wind and simply ‘go with the flow’ if that is the measurement of least resistance, for indeed, as I often say, the Eternal Sound of God is the measurement OF resistance.  It is the temperance that fortifies, the exercise that builds the muscles and the discipline that brings freedoms. Ommmmmmm!

When to move and go with the momentum you have aligned yourself with, and when to resist is the art of wisdom.
