Mercury in Pisces; March 5th – March 21st, 2016 🐠

“Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?” -Leonardo da Vinci

Mercury, our planet of communication, is on the move this Saturday, drifting into ethereal Pisces until March 21st. During this short but sweet phase, we’re guided by instinct, intuition, feelings and imagination.

“Mercury in Pisces has gifts to share that elevate the experience of life to something transcendent. This transit serves poets, artists, healers, spiritual seekers and all those who don’t rely on objective evidence to shape reality.” -Molly Hall

With our Sun and Neptune also in the infinite waters of Pisces, Divine inspiration, synchronicity, daydreaming and fantasizing may occur more than usual. I’m already in ‘Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe’ mode…*builds silent force-field*

Mercury in Aquarius + Mercury Retrograde; Jan. 5th – Jan. 25th, 2016 ☿♒

“There’s a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.” -Oscar Levant

Well guys, just as we begin 2016, Mercury, our planet of communication, turns retrograde in the sign of Aquarius, the realm where the impossible is possible…

Mars in Scorpio + Mars Retrograde ♂♏

By Molly Hall

While in Libra, the sign of the Scales, Mars has been driven to play fair and weigh all sides. On the Zodiac wheel, Libra is followed by Scorpio, and here we go beyond keeping the peace, or saving face, in areas that are crying out for deeper, more penetrating confrontation.

Full Moon in Cancer; December 25th, 2015 ⛄🎄♋

“Visit the family, hugs all around
Pictures and stories, feast for a crown
Inside our hearts lay, spirit profound
Turn up the music, of Christmas sounds”

-Paul Mooseberg, Christmas Glee

Making Christmas super special this year is a Super Full Moon in sentimental Cancer! The energetic peak will occur on December 25th at 6:11 AM EST. This Full Moon stimulates a need for comfort, intimacy and nurturing bonds. It will be a time when it feels as if everything comes together, like a gift wrapped with the perfect bow.

“The Moon in all her immaculate purity hung in the sky, laughing at this world of dust. She congratulated me for my carefully considered maneuvers and invited me to share in her eternal solitude.” –Shan Sa, Empress

ℕew Moon in Sagittarius; Dec. 11th, 2015 ❂♐

The final New Moon of the year occurs in dynamic, fire-powered Sagittarius on Friday, Dec. 11 @ 5:29AM ET. This is an uplifting New Moon! It replenishes and revitalizes. It ignites passion, creativity, and fun. Sag asks us to aim our energetic arrows high into the optimistically charged atmosphere. Spoiler alert: journeying to the most amazing places might not require going anywhere at all!

Mercury in Capricorn; Dec. 9th – Jan, 1st 2016 ☿♑

Mercury, our planet of expression, entered cool Capricorn on Wednesday, Dec. 9th, 2015. While Mercury was in Sagittarius we had our fingers crossed and pushed on with blind faith and optimism. Now, Capricorn brings us right back down to Spaceship Earth and grants us with clear, focused ambition so that procrastinators (like myself) can launch plans and get shit done.

Full Moon in Gemini; Nov. 25th, 2015 ➹❂♊

A cosmic pull occurs on Wednesday, November 25, 2015, at 5:44 PM EST, between the Moon in Gemini, the realm of vivid mental curiosity, and the Sun in Sagittarius, a seeker of universal and personal Truth. Although fiery Sagittarius and airy Gemini are opposite signs, both are also playful, flexible, freedom-loving, curious and can snap each other out of limiting perspectives. The light, positive nature of Sag & Gem will help to lighten the vibe since this Gemini Full Moon, with all its angles, oppositions, and conflicting energies is..well.

Sun & Mercury in Sagittarius♐

 

After roaming the dark, painful depths of Scorpio, Mercury settles in the sign of Wanderlust from Nov. 20th (until Dec. 9th), followed by the Sun on Nov. 22nd (until Dec. 21st). Thanks to Sag’s big and jolly ruler, Jupiter, thoughts shift from secret suspicions to hopefulness. Passions align, missions intertwine and inner optimism grows.

Mars in Libra; Nov. 12th – Jan. 3rd, 2016♂☮♎

By Jeff Jawer

“Every planet has its comfort zones — signs in which its traits are most welcome, and others where they are ill fitted. Mars, the planet of initiative and assertion, is at home in Aries, Scorpio, and Capricorn, where it’s exalted. It is not at home in Libra, where it will be from November 12, 2015, to January 3, 2016.

The powers of a planet are strengthened in supportive signs, where their characteristics align with the fundamental function of the sign. However, a planet is considered to be weaker when it is in a sign opposing one of its home bases, as is the case with Mars in Libra.

Mercury in Scorpio; Nov. 2nd – Nov. 20th 2015♏

Shit’s about to get real as Mercury, our planet of communication, joins our Sun in enigmatic Scorpio. This is a time for delving deep into our own personal mysteries. Opportunities are ripe for discussing and unmasking forbidden subjects, urges, thoughts and feelings. The topic of sex will creep into conversations, also, expect lots of dirty thoughts, sexting, and naughty memes!

With Scorpio-vision there’s a deep passion to probe the unknown, and for testing boundaries to find out what makes others tick. We tend to seek out truths in all that is hidden and undercover; the more deeply buried the better (so perfect for conspiracy geeks like myself!) 

Mercury is also lie detector in Scorpio, giving us a sixth sense for what’s unsaid…when words don’t really match the vibes we’re picking up. Mercury here listens and observes, takes mental notes, then files for future use. Be strategic about what you say and to whom.

Full Moon in Taurus; October 27th, 2015♉

A Taurus Full Moon occurs on Tuesday, October 27th, reaching its climax at 8:05AM ET. What’s been brewing since the May 18th Taurus New Moon could explode in a passionate fireworks display under these potent moonbeams.
