FULL MOON in LEO February 7 2012 – Is anyone listening?

Have you noticed the speed of life lately? In a flash it is now February 2012. The FULL MOON in LEO is now upon us a little over 24 hours from now. It appears on February 7, 2012 at 4:54pm EST at 18 deg. 32 min. Sun is in Aquarius with its detachment and cool appearance. The Sun has a logical approach to thinking and is truly about the mind. Of course, the Full Moon being in Leo brings us the dramatic, the warm, the expressive part of the cycle. Leo wants that attention that no one seems to want to give this time around. Leo expresses in a grand manner and loves to feel. Wherever you have the Full Moon in your chart will show you where you need to compromise this time. Do you want it your way fully? Not happening. You need to find the inner balance now. If you choose to be uncooperative, drama strikes. Aquarius Sun is pulling you back to cool approach to life; oh dear me. Leo is definitely saying that there is more to life than just logic. Where is your heart, Aquarius? Leo needs that heart. Leo wants to say something and no one is listening or paying attention. If a blow up occurs, that is the reason. Balance!!!!!!

Lately, the way of the world has been to frown upon emotional communication. Let’s take the love out of life. Who needs it? Let’s all be drones and work nicely in your little cubicles, labs, storefronts. Say nothing except what is necessary. Go to work, think about only what you are told to think and get rid of extraneous communication. NOT going to happen. You and I and many others are starting to see the reality of life on this Planet Earth. Cool, coolness, cold, frozen. Have you become one of those who are caught in the abyss which exudes the dark and dank? Oh, no, I went off track. Not really. This fiery Full Moon in Leo is going to bring about a wakeup call to all those not paying attention. March is soon upon us. What does it matter? The March winds will blow in a major turn of events for some of you. Do you choose that? If it is a positive time, sure do. I frown upon doomsayers, yet I need to say that March may be turning tides.

Relationships at this time of the Full Moon in Leo are in need of compromise especially if there is a decision on the table. There is balance to be had in love, creativity and with children. It is far from one-sided at this time. It is not only about you and what you want or demand. Sorry. It is about others who are also involved. COOPERATIVE EFFORTS! And expression between parties is paramount to resolving anything. What do you choose to do next in your relationships? Where do you intend it to go? You need to find your inner harmony.This Full Moon in Leo marches on to a higher place in your life if you let it take you there. Relationships are beginning to be affected for better or worse.

With Venus going into Aries this week creative exploring comes to the forefront.Also it meets up with Uranus on February 9. Watch out for crazy behavior which may be the breakthrough needed to get through the wall.  Soon things will be very different. This will depend on you and what you choose. Do you find stress within and without? Get rid of it. When was the last time you truly laughed from your authentic self? This full moon will only exacerbate it if you fail to communicate your desires. What are you waiting for? This is a time to have courage. Or do you wish to move on?

Mercury is directly opposite the Full Moon. Ouch.  Here we go. I just noted that you need to have clear communication at this time. Well, dear ones, unless you go beyond the childhood quirks and issues, it will be pretty tough to actualize this due to some confusion that hangs on from those olden times. Also there is the possibility of mixed up thoughts of fantasy and reality. If you have any hidden aspects in your life, trying to cover them up so others never get wind of them, then I suggest you hide yourself in a less accessible place. The ducks are coming off the pond or those skeletons in the closet are coming out of hiding very soon. STOP —STOP playing the victim. If you continue to stoke the fire at this time, the burns will be severe. Play it safe.

Saturn in Libra is now turning stationary retrograde at 29 degrees Libra on the Full Moon day. What exactly does that indicate?  It is a slowing down. This is a time to reassess commitments in business and relationships. The slow down takes place into June 2012. There is a see saw pattern in the Full Moon chart and cooperation and compromise is important as I said in the beginning of the post. Without it, major distancing in relationships and with children can occur. Think before acting. The fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are affected between 15-21degrees. Stress maximized. Take a deep breath.

Oh, yes, my Sun is squared by the Full Moon. Some challenges come to me regarding those things which have gotten less attention lately. Possibly my authority is challenged and or extra sensitivity on my part. On the other hand, any tensions in relationships can be resolved before they smolder too much. Restlessness appears, some crises, (didn’t this just happen?) and need to communicate or frustration results.

Watch your words around the time of the Full Moon. Cooperate, compromise, reassess. Reach within for the strength needed to harness the great forces that are surrounding you. I pulled the Horse as my meditative tool this time. Horse is about strength. Horse shows you that you have the ability to stand up to those who try to keep you from being your authentic self. Horse will help you prepare to ride into the future to do what you came to do. Call on Horse.

            “Horse spirit please come to me. I thank you for leaving the freedom of the plains behind. To lighten my load with your strong body and helpful way. And take me to far off places faster than I could ever go. You help me learn the ways of others and teach them mine.      You help me jump over all obstacles on my journey. Your selfless service is an inspiration to all beings.” (from Animal Powers Meditation Guidebook)

And please continue to pay attention to avoid misunderstandings. Mercury retrograde comes upon us next month. Thank you for your support. Blessings and love to you all. Until again, Jan

WHAT NOW AS PLUTO MOVES FORWARD 9/16/11?

Are you one of those individuals who are stuck in the past? Well, hold onto your hats because the past is no longer here. Were you aware of this? Not trying to be facetious! Just wanted to get your attention. And you are paying attention, aren’t you? Great. How many of you had to review, regurgitate and revamp those ideas and thoughts. Even your feelings were affected. Those buried emotions which held you back are now in process of being released so that healing can take place. Right? Or do you continue to hold on for dear life to an old thoughtform, belief, pattern, person, job, lifestyle or anything else that fits no longer in your new “you” way of being. What am I talking about, you ask?

PLUTO.

Guess what, Pluto is now direct as of September 16, 2011, slowly moving, but in direct motion. And boy what a show it has been. And several aha moments happened for dear ol’ me. Wow, can there really be this much intensity in one’s life? And it keeps pulling away all the layers until it gets to the deepest layer of truth within. And it will get there, I know that. And so do you who are feeling it more than others. Any of you who have planets plus or minus 4 degrees in the following signs are more directly affected – Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Taurus and Virgo, Scorpio and Pisces (a bit more flow). So the bottom-line is think about your chart or if you don’t know ask me or go toAstro.com and see what planet is being aspected if any.  If your ride has been rough and filled with pressure and intensity then you know you must be having a Pluto transit. Of course it may not be as intense as it could be since you may have allowed Pluto to take charge. Pluto is about manipulation and control in the negative and clearing and regenerative healing in the positive.  Pluto will push at you until you get it. Get what, you ask? That you need to let go and let Pluto do the work of the transformation in whatever area this is occurring.

 If you are in a relationship and there is fear involved, the relationship gets stuck until you trust that the process is working without your interference. Pluto can bring a tug of war in relationships and it ends up with the person who is more controlling actually letting go of the rope and the other falling flat and not knowing what happened. Didn’t you see the signals? Pluto brings anger, obsession, control/manipulation, reactionary responses, emotional outbursts which all say you need to allow the feelings to come up. If someone says you shouldn’t express these feelings, run out the door quickly. I know that some of you may say that you need to control everything about emotions. Yes, you certainly do since it is inappropriate to go nuts in a meeting or on the roads or even on the phone. In a Pluto transit you DO need to allow yourself the opportunity to have emotional expression, otherwise it may just really pull the rug out from under you by creating unhealthy conditions in your body and mind. There I said it. Talk to a friend or a counselor – someone who actually listens and hears you.  Pluto takes no prisoners and if you know this in advance, the intensity will not throw you against the wall. “Never apologize for showing feeling, when you do so you apologize for the truth.” (Disraeli)

 Let me give you some examples. Pluto is sextile right on my Chiron (wound), which is the place I am most wounded. My wound (Chiron) shows up in my 5^th house of love and creativity.  So guess what, I have a deep wound regarding love and secrets (Scorpio).  It also affects my creative self-expression which has helped me dissolve fears and patterns which were blocked. In part, the blog writing has helped me walk through all the wound releasing that had a major hold on me. Sextiles are 60 degrees apart so it is not a really negative aspect BUT it is Pluto and if something else is aspected it brings out intensity even more. In my case it is inconjunct (150 degrees) my Saturn and ready to touch my progressed Venus.

What in the world does all this mean? Basket case personified?  With Pluto going through my partnership house, an issue has arisen and brought to the surface long buried issues of partnership/love wounds (Chiron in 5th) through communication (Saturn in my 3^rd). These unhealed wounds are surfacing now because they are ready to be processed and released. It came to me no matter how much I prayed and meditated, they still existed. Why, because they weren’t ready for assimilation. These were long buried wounds that brought anguish to my heart and to my psyche. Yes, they were coming up and I had too really look at them for healing to take place. Tears have been constant for a few weeks until I truly realized that it was just a planetary cycle and I was ok. Then a vision came to me and I saw how things are changing and no matter how difficult it has been, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  Of course shortly it hits my progressed Venus. I know a few others in my circle who are experiencing this aspect of Pluto/Venus and it continues to hit them hard. What does this mean exactly? Is this the kind of relationship you really want to have in your life? Is it worth the effort to take action on it? For those with the Pluto aspecting their Venus, give up theold patterns in love because they will create havoc in your life. Some who are together are destined and it is only about old releases that will bring new beginnings. Some of you will meet a manipulative individual who may just want to just have a sexual interaction instead of a full relationship. Watch for financial issues (depends on your chart) cropping up. And that’s the Pluto story for today. Maybe that cosmic leap is there when the road takes a turn.

Let us all empower ourselves as we march toward Friday, September 23, 2011 the day of the Autumnal Equinox. Look for a blurb later week. Thank you for all of you and many blessings too. Until again. Love to you and yours, Jan
