Since the Moon’s ingress to Libra at 1:35 am EST this early morning, have we been feeling more at peace or in balance and could now be seeking to keep this emotional stability and get the cooperation from others. As Mercury in Aquarius engages in a semi-square to the separating Pallas-Uranus conjunction in Aries, on which he follows up with a sextile to Eris in Aries and then squares the nodal axis (NN in Scorpio/SN in Taurus), it is critical that we remain alert as well as updated in regard to the information coming our way, focus on our progress and introduce new trends in the way we communicate and connect, especially with our social circle, while we have the opportunity to do this through the promotion of our agenda or self-interests. We’ve reached a point on our path, where we have to make important decisions that concern our future prospects and come up with ideas or plans to evolve from a situation that keeps us stuck in patterns of sameness and repetition. With Pallas in Aries in sextile aspect to Jupiter in Gemini, chances are that we take advantage of several options to move ahead with our personal politics and bring out our will and determination to achieve what we set out to do.

Tarot card of the day is the “9 of Swords”, suggesting that negative thoughts, worries and concerns are overwhelming. We could be in a dark place, full of fear, doubts and anxiety or might have a tendency to put ourselves down without justification. This may be the sum total of an extremely difficult time or the impact of unfortunate events or circumstances, when we are dealing with an accumulation of stress and worry and find it difficult to keep the strength needed to carry on. In any case, the situation is complex. Therefore, we need to focus on gaining peace of mind so that we can act with more clarity when we proceed.

Personal Notes: The extreme weather change we’re expecting here keeps me checking up on the forecast for this area to be on the safe side, if this is possible at all. So far, the conditions haven’t been turned out as bad as they had at first anticipated. In addition to that, the spam and junk mail has taken overhand and the banking or security alerts I receive in my mail box really mess with my mind. However, I’m smart enough not to open any links. Just saddened about the fact that there are so many ‘predators’ out there taking advantage of the ‘opportunities’ cyberspace provides.

Astro-Notes on January 30, 2013 – making the right choices

Jupiter, who has been traveling in retrograde motion since October 4, 2012, stationed direct at 6:19 Gemini at 6:37

am EST this morning. Consequently, beliefs, concepts or principles, viewpoints and options we reviewed during this time may now lead us in a direction other than we thought for a long while or toward new horizons. A course we followed might never have been meant for us. We might end up taking the other path, alternating between Plan A and Plan B and seeing other possibilities or looking at our options with new eyes and a new understanding. Mercury in Aquarius’ trine to retrograde Ceres in Gemini shows that we changed our thought process as the result of rethinking and introspecting questions of support and growth. As the Sun in Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio, we’re challenged to overcome the complications and obstacles in our way to be able to reform our life and reinvent ourselves.

Tarot card of the day is “The Lovers”, indicating choices where moral values are questioned, especially in relationship situations. A decision must be made about which we feel divided. We may be struggling with temptations and need to remember that the most attractive option is not always the best one. Problems can be overcome via reconciliation, through harmony and cooperation.

Today the Sun in Aquarius forms a trine with Vesta in Gemini and a semi-sextile with Pluto in Capricorn, indicating that we made progress in regard to things we hold sacred as the result of our commitment to a personal cause that allows us to be more independent as well as flexible if we are inspired to work on circumstances, where we only have limited influence to affect changes.

Tarot card of the day is the “9 of Swords”, suggesting that negative thoughts, worries and concerns are overwhelming. We could be in a dark place, full of fear and suffering or might have a tendency to put ourselves down without justification. This may be the sum total of an extremely difficult time, when we are dealing with an accumulation of stress and worry. In any case, the situation is complex.

Astro-Notes on January 28, 2013 – a strike of inspiration

existential choices and changes, which help us to bring forward new trends and initiate progress, using ‘daring’ personal politics and strategies. Consequently, inspiration may strike today and stimulate us into self-determined action. After the Moon’s ingress to Virgo at 6:27 pm EST will we strive to be functional and efficient and seek to improve our methodologies. With Venus in Capricorn engaged in sesqui-quadrate to Vesta in Gemini, it is critical that we keep busy, mobile and connected, especially what the things we hold sacred concerns, and also remain adaptable and flexible in our dedication in order to be able to realize or materialize our wants and needs.

Tarot card of the day is “Judgment”, suggesting that we’re having a day of reckoning, when we could awaken to the possibilities as we’re seeing everything in a new light and enjoying new hope. We feel drawn in a new direction and might recognize our true vocation by answering our highest calling. It is time to lift and resurrect ourselves. Cleansed and refreshed, we’re finding absolution.

Venus in Capricorn’s sextile to the North Node in Scorpio (trine South Node in Taurus) offers us a chance to influence our life’s direction through the constructive use of our assets, talents and relationships, thereby gradually working on the realization of our life’s goals and the consolidation of our worth for which we have laid and built up the foundation in the past we can now rely on for our empowerment. A semi-sextile from Mercury in Aquarius to Juno in Capricorn shows an adjustment in our thinking process that complements the way we regulate relationship dynamics in order to be able to gain control in these situations.

Tarot card of the day is “Strength”, suggesting that we draw upon our inner strength and the power of our spirit and will. With compassion and understanding can we handle the most difficult situation and also tame the beast within. We have the ability to be tolerant, forgiving and accepting and thus can gently influence our environment. Furthermore, we can be assured that we have enough endurance to see things through to their end and get a lot accomplished.
