Howling Into The Moonlit Square Dance

The moon waxes into fullness on January 16, 2014 at 12:53AM EST.
The wolves will be howling, looking for food, and that includes the two-legged ones too, more like sharks as they circle their prey, ready to clean and lick the bones.  You will want to find the softest of spots in your own heart and line the walls with soft pink gentleness and pictures from your past if you can.  Venus/Aphrodite is still retrograde in Capricorn at 18* and she is squaring her consort, Mars/Ares travelling through Libra at 17*.

Some people will enjoy some very hot, sizzling amour this evening and the next as the two dance together and the sparks fly, the wine is poured and the emotions run high.

If not, it could be the battle of the sexes…it is up to you to funnel that energy into the kind of action that will melt the skin and everything that every stood between you, or burn down the house and see the relationship (Libra) go up in flames.
If you are one of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) this will affect you profoundly and more intensely, especially in these degrees: 25, 26 and 27 (by Sun and Moon Transit) 16, 17, 18 and 19 by Venus and Mars transit, and 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 by Pluto and Uranus transits.  (Yes, that pretty much blankets the signs, but those degrees will have more intense and personal experiences.)

This is also true for planets and/or axis points in those degrees.

Notably, Venus will emerge as the morning star on January 17^th, just one day later and will appear approximately one hour before the sun, as the ‘light bearer’ or bringer of the dawn, Venus is heralding the emerging shining orb we all rotate around (and we don’t see enough of in the Northeast during the dark winter months.)  So, while she is retrograde AND submerged, feeling the love may be in question or front and center.  What is Love anyway?  We also may not ‘feel’ the love, especially as Venus dances backwards and across from LaLuna, people may not feel loved or lovable at all, so reach out if you can, take that extra step and let someone know you care and they are important.  We may also channel our past loves, they might come up in dreams or reality, but Venus retrograde will have reconsidering all facets of love.  Won't you be my melancholy baby?

In the last blog, I mentioned that people would be leaving, and indeed they have.  I don’t like it, it hurts because we care, but we must remember that life does indeed go on.  This is a trip on the Mary-Go-Round though it certainly feels as though the Go Round is on top of us at times in life.

Venus/Aphrodite is all about the love, she emerges up from the depths and on the last day of this month, she will station direct and begin her forward momentum once again at 13* of Capricorn (insert those degrees by cardinal sign here) and you know you are one of those who has been either down in the dumps a bit, feeling a little depressed, weepy or a rider on the storm…into this world being born, for that is also the date of the new moon in Aquarius.  Dawning…

Now, She is also opposing Jupiter/Zeus (expansion/higher knowledge/long distance travel) as he is now at 14* of Cancer and ALSO retrograde, we can hear the skies snap, crackle and pop as Zeus pulls back the curtain, the tides in the watery sign of the crab, things may feel as though they are just about to burst…we stand at the precipice of something very big (Jupiter) and he of course is also in a square to Mars/Ares (action/energy/war) and he is moving into exact opposition to Pluto/Hades (Lord of the underworld/that which is buried/death and transformation) and he will oppose him exactly on January 31^st too, uh-oh, do we see this theme of cosmic triggers in the greatest invention of all time, the Wheel.  A turning we will go and La Luna will hit up that Cardinal Square on January 23^rd, so those are the dates to pay attention to as we move into the first month of Janus, 2014.

(The big bang theory will really break open the starry globe we live in on April 21st, when Uranus and Pluto form their next square in the series at 13*34' of Aries and Capricorn respectively.)

For now, we must realize that what we choose to manage, remove or begin right now, will either help assist us through those changes or make them all the more difficult to deal with.

Sorry to remind you, that the financial situation is just not going to settle down until the end of next year, as I forecasted at the beginning of the Uranus/Pluto squares, taking big chances is not advisable, but making big decisions is, prepare and move forward.

If you are struggling with your career, home, finances, or actions to move forward now, it will be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back.  Now is the time to prepare.

This full moon and the following new moon at the end of the month may very well see those changes take place anyway, with or without your consent or liking. 

Squares to Mars/Ares usually dig up the war card in one way or another, and with squares with Venus, Jupiter and Pluto all happening, the sabers will rattle, even as Saturn/El in a lovely trine to the moon and forming a sextile to the sun (ego/identity) and Venus/Aphrodite tries to form a truce and new moneyed interests sit at the table moving around the pieces to see who wins and loses in either scenario.

Neptune/Poseidon is also forming a lovely trine to the head of the dragon, again I stress listening to your dreams, who you are and what you came here to be and do, is whispering to you nightly, pay attention.

Your soul is calling…she is echoing down the halls and reverberating in the inner chamber of your own heart…

Don’t hear the aforementioned as all bad, more the distillation of our very essence, clarity is emerging and will shine brighter than the sun come the end of May.  Ganesha is trampling out the vintage where the Grapes of Wrath are stored, as He loosed the faithful lightening of His terrible swift sword, His truth is marching on…
