Full Moon in Leo February 7, 2012 Astrology Horoscope Forecast

Symbolic Living — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:20:33 +0000

It’s officially a Full Moon in Leo on February 7, 2012 at 4:53pm EST.

This is a time to pay attention to your ego, and not be a slave to it, but to use it for good.

Bring your strengths forward. Look at the uniqueness you alone have and bring it out in the open. Only you have the forces brought together in the magnificent orchestra contained within you. Others can think and say whatever they wish of you but the truth of who you are is within only you. Share that truth. Own it. Respect it and be grateful for it. Your personality was meant to shine like the Sun. When you radiate, others can’t help but notice you.

Nobody can be someone else. Nobody can try to be like another, it won’t work, it will never have the same quality or authenticity of the original. An imitation is never as good as the real depth of soul the original has within. Although actors can do a great job, and create a moving roles, we know it is only an illusion reserved for the part. We always see the actors own energy in that role. The actor becomes a star, because they radiate their own inner qualities into the performance. What moves us, is their life force, coupled with the display of universal motifs and archetypes we recognize within ourselves.

This is Leo. The radiant star quality within all of us, unique to our personality, yet often hidden beneath layers of conditioning. Let the sun shine from your heart and beam from your eyes.

Honor your uniqueness instead of judging yourself. Be strong and proud to be authentically you in a world where we are often compartmentalized by others misconceptions and false views. Be courageous to release yourself from the untruths, so you can become true to yourself.

With Mars in Virgo, the ways we handle our ego is brought to our attention. Our instinctual nature is reflected upon and made sense of. Here we recognize the balance of the male dominating ego and unhindered force, with the feminine principle of composure and self-control.

When we are courageous, determined, enthusiastic and confident we are utilizing the solar, fire energy of Leo to move us through life’s challenges with excitement. However, when we’re pigheaded, violent, domineering and boastful, we’re manifesting our lower qualities.

It’s a good time for people who are challenged with self-esteem issues to reflect on the powerful meaning of our life. Are you self critical? Have you believed what others thought and said and adopted those as true about yourself? How has your persona been molded over the years by the idea’s you’ve encountered?

If you were to strip away all those layers, you will find within an authentic person, full of love and light. Sharing that true self, there is no question of confidence, because it is the true you. If you don’t like yourself, where does that opinion come from? The false version of yourself is built on fears you’ve been conditioned to believe, not truth.

The Full Moon in Leo symbolizes you being real and feeling good about who you are. The Sun in Aquarius shining on the Moon, speaks to that truth of your individuality and how that relates to others. It’s a great time to understand where your weaknesses come from, and how the harsh judgments you impose on yourself represent a false version of you, not the real you. Realize your potential by being true to your real self.

This is a good time to express your talents. If you don’t think you’re talented, think again. Try anything that interests you, and focus on the positive. Doing something, anything that interests you will open up worlds of possibilities. Maybe your first painting won’t be that great. So what. At least you put the paintbrush on the canvas instead of being paralyzed to act. Athletics will help you burn off thoughts and energy now, helping to give you a healthy ego boost.

Get ready for spontaneous love. Venus moves into Aries on February 8th and will get closer to Uranus. Be careful to not splurge on buying material possessions without any forethought. It will be tempting. Spend less time in the malls worrying about buying the perfect gift for valentines, and more time being with those you care about.

Saturn goes retrograde today at 9:02 am. He still needs to finish off his work in Libra, indicating the world’s need for justice continues to be a focus, and we’re continuing to increase our awareness of the limitations placed on us in our collective experience. The world can be a hostile place, but we’re responsible for divisiveness. From the small argument with a stranger online, to nation against nation, we all need to be more conscious of how we impose ourselves on others. We will begin to reflect more deeply on our personal responsibilities and how our karmic debts get paid and restrict us.

Be careful not to procrastinate. The longer you put something off the heavier the burden will become. Wishing a problem going away doesn’t make it so. Try not to put too much added responsibility on yourself. Take the weight off by organizing and delegating tasks.

On February 3rd, Neptune moved into Pisces for a long stay until 2026. Neptune is right at home being the ruler of Pisces.

This will become an increasingly spiritual phase for humanity, where illusion and reality blends together transforming our perceptions.

It’s a great time to start a new spiritual practice like meditation, yoga, tai chi and related fields of interest and become attuned to a more healing vision for yourself and the world. The downside is many with the predisposition to want to escape reality through the use of mind altering substances from drugs to alcohol may feel the temptation grows. Be mindful of what is good for you on a deeper level. Bring your attention to what matters in the large picture of your life bridging your intuition with a higher calling. Be compassionate and sensitive to all those you touch.

Arts and creativity will become more divinely inspired. We’re looking forward to holograms becoming a part of our reality. The world is going to seem more mystical and virtual as we head into the future. Expect flower power, and hippy new-age ideas to become more prevalent. Try to stay grounded for balance.

With imagination, the sky is the limit. Dreams will be fantastically mesmerizing. Keep notes.

Mercury moves into Pisces on February 13th. Be careful of your opinions, they certainly may not be based on validity, and subjectivity can take much out of context. Gossip could turn delusional, even deceitful. Work extra hard to keep your thoughts organized. A planner and to-do list will help, but try to get that going before the 13th so it’s set in place. You’ll have your intuition to guide you though, so don’t worry about being too methodical. Listen to your inner voice. Think spiritually and compassionately when in discussions with others, especially on Valentines day.

A great, entertaining example of the Leo energy coupled with our new phase of mystical Neptune in Pisces is the Egyptian Solar Deity representation Madonna entered as in processional style of Queen Cleopatra during the Super Bowl. The gods and goddesses of ancient Roman and Egyptian myth, with the apocalyptic trumpeting is also fitting for the 2012 new age era.

New Moon in Aquarius January 23, 2012 Astrology Horoscope

Symbolic Living — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 19:13:36 +0000

It’s officially a New Moon in Aquarius on January 23, 2012 at 2:39am EST.

This is a time to work to bringing a more positive attitude to all you do in order to find the emotional balance needed to counter any potentially negative spiraling tendencies.

Boost your intake of vitamins and minerals. Now that the sun is beginning to shine longer in the day, find a place to bask in the light for a few moments on the sunny days. Go for walks. Breathe deeply. Naturally improve your mood by tuning into your body and environment. Step away from the computer more often.

Heavy weighted, and restrictive feelings need your active approach to get beyond them and feel lighter. Being passive, unless you truly deserve and need a rest, will weigh you down.

A good work ethic and pushing through to get tasks done will feel rewarding now and help boost your mood. Procrastination now can be paralyzing to a positive outlook. “Why do it now when I can do it later?” is truly a procrastinators motto and will lead to a slipper slope of feeling behind and unproductive which will add extra stress.

It’s best to keep your mind ambitious and geared to succeed through action now.

St. John’s wort is a natural way to help get you through the blue moments, but you have to be proactive to feel good about yourself. Start a routine that is healthy. You won’t regret it.

Essential Oils of Cypress , German Chamomile, Clary Sage, Eucalyptus, Fennel, Fir, Lavender, Lime, Niaouli, Patchouli, and Pine are all good choices to use in your bath or infuse into your environment now.

Flashes of inspiration to get you started won’t come so easily. You’ll need to stay focused and force yourself to drive the chariot forward. Once the wheels get going your emotions will tune in to a smoother ride.

This is also a good time to get yourself geared up for a more spiritually minded approach to life. Coming soon, the mystical side of life will become more apparent. Watch for synchronicities. Keep a dream journal. Learn about energy healing like chi kung, reiki, or pick up the practice of tai chi to get your energy flowing. Tuning into astrology and alternative new-age ideas will become more prevalent for many of you.

Some of you may find yourself more interested in paranormal television programs, ghosts, and books on mystical ideas. Fantasy subjects like vampires, werewolves, creatures, as well as witches, spells, magical thinking and the like will become more intriguing subjects for many. Many who find these subjects taboo will have a more open mind and fit the ideas into their own paradigms.

Transforming opinions on religion and mysticism will become more easily assimilated into people’s world view naturally.

If you’ve found winter to be something you’ve disliked for many years, this year you may have a change of heart and see the beauty in all the seasons. Each giving you a fresh perspective on how you relate to the cycles of life.

It’s a hopeful time. The Suns rays are bringing with them more clarity on your individuality, and will carry you into a more spiritual point of view over the next few weeks. How you see yourself in the world, your purpose and how you affect and influence others becomes more real, yet ethereal.

Spontaneously helping others now through any personal issues will reflect to you a magnification of your own values and courage to share yourself truthfully. You may not need many acquaintances, but a few close friends who understand you are valuable. Building relationships that bring new directions in life is possible now. Be open to sharing.

For emotional balancing and feeling good about yourself, doing activities that will get your heart rate up will be great. Oxygenating your blood by running outside is a great option at this time of year. Be careful you don’t slip on ice and twist your ankle. Be mindful of where you’re stepping. You may also find massaging your feet, legs and ankles will be especially potent at improving your overall sense of well being.

If you want your long term goals to succeed, now is a good time to focus on planning your way there. Money matters are always a part of life whether you’re rich or poor. Most of us are on a sliding scale anywhere in between. Focusing instead on your happiness than solely the number crunching lifts your spirits so you can be a success in life, rather than the rat race. Merge your feelings into creating wealth as a reflection of a more spiritually centered view of life.

Keep your opinions open about your love life now. Allowing others to be human without you conceptualizing their follies is important now. A more spiritual approach to why relationships are really important to you will be more fulfilling. It’s not important to envision who would be the ideal partner, or how one would fit into that ideal, for your fulfillment now. Instead, be more in the now and enjoying feeling centered in who you are and who others are individually. See others quirks as qualities rather than faults.

Chinese New Year 2012 Water Dragon

At night, tune into your intuition. Staying up late in candle lit rooms with incense will open you up to new ideas. Let them grow as the new moon starts to wax. Be tranquil as you tune into your unconscious. Inspiration in a flash can more likely happen when you actively tune into the subtle world around you now. The messages may need deciphering though, so ask a friend for their opinion

We are never independent. Aquarius teaches us that although a part of us feels strongly towards independence, it is through reaching out that we really understand ourselves. We can never distance ourselves too far from the world. Every breath, symbolizes we are always a part of the whole. Breathe deeply.

New Moon in Capricorn December 24, 2011 Astrology Forecast

Symbolic Living — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 05:22:40 +0000

It’s officially a New Moon in Capricorn on Saturday December 24, 2011 at 1:06pm EST.

It’s Christmas Eve and only a week away from the beginning of the much anticipated year of 2012!

If you’ve been preoccupied with the outer world, materialism and ambitions, now is a time that will allow for greater clarity and questioning your purpose.

This is a spiritual time. It is a time of reconnecting to seeing a larger myth, meaning and purpose in your life. What have you accomplished in 2011? Where have you gained and where have you lost. The solstice on December 22nd, reminds us of the balance and cycles of our lives. Where one door closes another opens, always intertwined.

When you enter the inner world, you will find answers by opening up a portal of consciousness that has long been closed by the distractions the outer world has pulled you toward.

At the solstice we are at the peak of the underworld symbolically. The Sun has died, and is reborn. Now with this new birth of light in the world, with the days becoming longer, we think about what we want to grow in our lives. It is the cycle of the New Sun, the beginning of a journey towards greatness. The New Moon in Capricorn accompanies this new Sun.

The pendulum has reached its point of return. We are suspended in that transitional period, a moment of silence, a moment before our next breath begins. We are being reborn and renewed into the world; climbing the ladder, ascending up the tree, ready to climb the mountain, like the goats symbol in Capricorn. As you climb, what do you see at the peak?

It is a time to bring forth into the world what is deep within. It’s a time to consider what we want to create in the world as we assess and reflect on where all the trials, tribulations, and joys 2011 have brought us to. From the ground up, we are granted access to many tools to choose from as we create the future.

As we go within for winter, our internal wisdom gets lit up, slowly but surely, we break the dawn. With Pluto in Capricorn, and our Moon and Sun arriving, we’ll likely bring up some deeply hidden aspects to understand our motivations better. What is the real reason you want what you do, and what really is your approach and connection to the material realm? How does this play out in your drive for career and creative efforts? How does money motivate you?

Where are you restricted, and how have your actions, and inaction held you back? Have you been consumed by a distraction in the material realm such as television, too much time on the internet, too much compulsion or procrastination, too much politics?

The gift of Saturn is awareness through karma. Although Saturn puts us to the test the hard way, it’s often how we learn best. What you sow so shall you reap. Are you sowing the seeds of your future, hiding them, or throwing them away?

When you analyze your restrictions you can see where your freedom lies.

As we look to what is in the world, we can decide how to make our presence better utilized and more meaningful. What can you do in 2012 that adds to the collective experience and raises your consciousness as well as those around you positively?

The New year’s resolutions for this year hold a lot of weight for transformation. Many people don’t make resolutions, but this year would be a good one to consider how your reality is balanced in free will and fate. Your resolutions are not only a conscious transformation of your habits, but also a change in how you perceive yourself and the world. This year, consider resolutions about how you live in the world and what you have to offer. What does the material world represents to you spiritually? Do you damn the world, or do you love the world?

How does your own consciousness bring more evil or love into the world?

How can we have peace, if we don’t have peace in our own heart – Mother Theresa

Is your future going to be about you, and you alone, or is it going to be about a bigger picture including who you touch in life. What is your ambition and where is it rooted from? Is it to take for yourself, or is it about the desire to give?

The Moon in Capricorn will make many of us feel sentimental about the achievements of the year, even of our entire lives up to this point. For now, you are in this world. How you relate to it makes all the difference. The butterfly effect is as present with you as anyone.

The crisp winter sky can be a perfect time to look at the stars and planets. It’s easy to point out the planets, they are bright and don’t flicker. Venus is bright in the sky, seen at dusk, setting after the sun. Jupiter is high in the sky now, to the east of Venus. If you can find Orion in the sky, with his familiar belt, nearby you’ll be able to see Jupiter very easily, as he is big and bright. Saturn, isn’t visible until early morning, after Jupiter sets in the sky. Uranus and Neptune are between Venus and Jupiter, but more difficult to see with the naked eye.

Now that the holidays are finally here you deserve to take a break and unwind. This is a really good time to turn your attention away from preoccupations with time and hectic schedules. Our lives are ruled by time quite often, leading many to feel like life is a rat race. It often comes down to humanity being confined within a system ruled by numbers. Numbers on the clock, numbers in your bank account, numbers of followers in your social network.

Saturn is Father Time, ruler of the Capricorn, and is restrictive. In this world we are bound by time, but time can also be relative as Einstein pointed out. Do you feel like you’ve lost precious moments of time in your life you could have spent somewhere better? Now is the time to consider how you want to reshape your relationship with the limited time you have in life towards goals that really matter and are worth your effort. As it is the holidays, it’s best to write your ideas down. Brainstorm and reflect on the year gone by, and how you can take little steps to create changes in your approach to life in the new year

Saturn is associated with the Greek Cronus. (Chronological)

Intense dreams and nightmares are possible that will show us our fears now, and yet will give us revelations about how to live more in tune with a higher desire in life. Where you have imprisoned yourself emotionally from the world, may be granted insights that are a real breakthrough. Napping at random times you may not usually enter the dreamworld, could provide spontaneous new ways of thinking outside the box you’ve been in long enough.

As ambitious as Capricorn’s influence implores us to be, know that new projects take time. Setting short due dates can be too much, and take all the fun out of the process of developing ideas and brainstorming.

If you set yourself schedules that are too restrictive you really close off the possibilities for growth in the process and it feels heavy, potentially burdening your health and happiness. Is the grass really greener on the other side? Are you missing out on the joy of now because of some distant future you imagine would be better? There’s nothing wrong with hard work, but if you’re torturing yourself and missing out on the joy that can be found in now, you’re wasting your time. Literally.

Make the experience of whatever you are working towards more light, and set more realistic and flexible timing. Keep the possibilities open for enjoyment and get excited about what the potential is for you to be creative. Goals should be about you creating what you want. Take some of the pressure off yourself as it can be paralyzing. By relieving yourself of guilt about what you have or haven’t accomplished, you set yourself up for a stronger foundation to continue on from.

Saturn and Jupiter’s relationship with one another now invite us to consider how and why we feel restricted financially as well. Are you caught up in consumerism? Have you been conditioned to believe materialism is what makes you truly happy. Material objects can never fulfill us. Once received, our nature is to want something else, continuously. The holidays promotes consumerism and more debt. Is that what you really want for your future; more debt? Now that’s a restriction to future happiness, self imposed by your choices. It’s karma, by the numbers.

Jupiter goes direct on December 25, after being retrograde in Taurus for months. Perfect timing for enjoying great food, wine and laughter with family and friends. Overindulging is possible. Give yourself a break and enjoy it. You can get to working off the extra calories in the new year. Have fun.

Now that all planets are moving in direct motion, we can look forward to beginning 2012 with firmer steps towards our goals and a stronger sense of momentum.

Where we may not feel so secure or able to grow and expand will come into focus. By paying closer attention to your relationship with the material world, you’ll encourage moments of epiphany to support you in finding more balance.

Now, enjoy the holidays. Keep your mind on what and who you truly love as you reminisce on 2011 and consider the possibilities for 2012. Enjoy the time you have to spend with loved ones, family, pets, and friends enjoying the magic of the season. When you consider what 2012 can be, let time be on your side in each moment. In whatever you do, choose by what it brings into the world from the depths of your soul.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year for 2012!

Full Moon in Gemini December 10, 2011 Astrology Forecast

Symbolic Living — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 01:21:34 +0000

It’s officially a Full Moon in Gemini on Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 9:36am EST.

Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and is in retrograde now, that coupled with a Total Lunar Eclipse brings an interesting mix of our thoughts and emotions and how they affect our lives.

The Lunar eclipse will cause the moon to be visibly red on the West Coast of North America as it will be seen in the Pacific in the early morning hours. (Watch the Eclipse Live here)

Many of us will experience the strength of these symbols in bringing an awareness of our internal thinking and feeling processes closer to the surface.

Feeling restless, having difficulty sleeping, thinking too much? You’re not the only one. It’s really easy to get sidetracked now making us feel disorganized. Multitasking can either be a product pursuit or a real hindrance to real accomplishment. It’s better to stimulate your mind and achieve goals with focus now.

If you do choose to multi-task take an approach that makes sense. For instance listening to an audiobook while getting some housework done will get two things done at once, but doesn’t waste time splintering your efforts.

A lot of people work on the computer, and social networking can really suck up your time and attention. It’s easier to skim through short blurbs, scroll down lists of pictures and just touching on subjects briefly, than it is to retain focus. Try to gain focus and show more determination to follow through with learning something worthwhile. Try to maintain consistency rather than jumping all over the place.

Learning an all new subject may not be the best way to challenge your mind, but revisiting a subject you’ve long been interested in and have a brief understanding of could be stimulating. Looking a little deeper into subjects may not be easy now, but could open a floodgate of ideas. Coffee table books could be the ideal starting point. Flip through ideas until you find the one that resonates and peaks your interest.

Pay attention to messages in movies, books and conversations. There may be deeper philosophical meaning behind the superficial layer. You may find messages you’re meant to consider repeatedly show up in different formats. Pay attention.

Although you may be able to cope with pursuing many tasks now, starting them all at once isn’t a good idea. You need to focus on one thing at a time if you want to feel accomplished.

You may want to show off what you know in conversations, but be careful of debates. Check your ego before you blurt out your opinion. Hurting someone else’s feelings isn’t unlikely now. Be courteous.

A subject from the past may come up, bringing back memories of a different time and place. What really happened is up for debate depending on who you ask. Memories aren’t always consistent. Try not to argue too passionately over the little details. Make the effort to remember what makes you feel better about your past rather than worse.

With the mind activated, it can be overwhelming to the point of annoyance. The constant chatter can keep you up at night well past your bedtime. Nobody likes to be an insomniac for too long. Ensure you do what you can to make the effort to find a balanced sleep cycle. Herbs and teas, avoiding caffeine after a certain hour of the day will help but may not be enough.

Thinking too much and overworking can lead to excess tension in many areas of the body you may not be aware of. Your shoulders may be tight, you may get headaches, your low back may be sore, your forehead may be scrunched up. Some will get to the point of a breakdown or burnout.

Also, now is prime time for frustration from delays. Emails aren’t going through, internet isn’t working properly, line ups at stores and especially banks will seem to take forever. Traffic jams could lead to a moment of road rage! If your mind is restless push yourself to exhaust your energy through your body. Exercise will be good for you, even if you hate it. Just twenty minutes of anything that gets your body moving and energy expended will help ease an irritable mind.

Meditation could be even more annoying for beginners with a chattering mind now. It will bring your attention to your thoughts if you have an untrained mind like turning the volume up on your stereo. Instead wait. Begin meditation in a week or so, not now. Do something physical instead. Jupiter is leading in Taurus now, get in touch with the earth more to balance your mind.

Worriers won’t be able to get away from the media these days. The news is pumping out enough gloom and doom to drive anyone to mental exhaustion. It’s their job. That’s how they make money. They want you to be addicted. When it comes to the big picture what can you really do? Instead of globalizing massive worldwide problems, it’s better to focus on what you can do locally, on a smaller, individual, community level. Consider rethinking your attitude towards the larger world picture by getting clearer on what you can do on a smaller level that will have more impact on your quality of living.

It’s easy to get distracted by the reports on the news and confused by the conflicting stories. What’s really the truth? Consider yourself an outsider to what really goes on behind the scenes, with only an inkling of the real story. Usually the the story we’re told about what’s going on “out there” is skewed by opinion and agenda.

Remember in ancient times when someone was being judged at the town square and the town crier would make pronouncements according to the direction of the court. The peasants would all be booing and anticipating the judgment, often brutal, planted onto the accused for all to see. Those peasants didn’t really have all the details, they only passed their judgments on what they were told and rumors they heard. This happens all the time. We often only have a small snippet of a story. What’s really going on behind the scenes is rarely known.

Gemini is notoriously in love with gossip, but the reality of gossip is, it’s only a version of the story. Opinions can often be based on an idea touted as true based merely on a superficial, thin layer of knowledge of the facts. So now that mercury is retrograde it’s a good idea to consider more closely why you think what you do, and how much of the real story do you really know? Just because you believe something and hold tight to an opinion doesn’t mean it’s really true. Is it reality or is it really just “all in your head”?

Many people’s beliefs and ideas paralyze them with fear about what the future holds. Not only is this true when considering idea’s on the big picture, but even the small everyday projects people put off and procrastinate on. How are your thinking patterns to the little things in life affecting your quality of life? It’s a good time to reassess why you think the way you do and ask yourself if your beliefs about yourself, your abilities and your life are really true, or are they simply illusions, snippets of a more whole picture.

In life you have the option to decide if you’re going to take the red pill or the blue pill. How far down the rabbit hole are you going to go to find out reality, or are you going to stay on the ground where it’s safe and accept the world as true according to how it’s being told to you?

The global debt that has been pushed off into the future really does speak to our attention to our responsibilities.

It’s a good time to go over your financials as well as your skills to see if your on the right track with balancing your work, your effort, your attention to detail, with your spiritual view of life. Take a look at your debts and ask yourself how your payment habits and feelings about debt reflect your internal value. As we can see money and materialism is evidently no guarantee for a perfect life without worries. We can though choose to consider how to make our lives more balanced within our closer circle.

When you’re shopping for the holidays consider this.

Life can change in an instant for anyone at any time. You could win the lottery or get a debilitating disease, the truth is you never know. We do live within a framework of natural laws that create the foundation of our reality. You have choices influenced by internal and external forces. You have the ability to make choices about how you engage and interact with the world. Are you going to be overwhelmed, scattered, distracted, or are you going to make decisions that drive you towards a more joyous, balanced way of seeing yourself and the world?

Pay attention to your dreams. With the potential for a chattering mind, it’s wise to keep a pen and paper by your bed. With Uranus going direct and in good connections with Mercury now, you may have a brilliant idea worth your attention.

Bring more of your wisdom into your life and to the world by rethinking your views, paying more attention to details and asking more questions to get closer to finding the truth in your life, rather than what others may wish you to believe.

Take a look at how big our universe is.

New Moon in Sagittarius November 25, 2011 Astrology Horoscope

Symbolic Living — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 01:52:47 +0000

It’s officially a New Moon in Sagittarius on Friday, November 25, 2011 at 1:09am EST.

What is the purpose of your life? What is your philosophy of life? How do you see the world? These types of broad questions point to the energy of this New Moon in Sagittarius. We’re looking at the big picture. The Solar Eclipse gets us to look into our depths.

The Sun moved into Sagittarius on the 22nd.

Meaningful, philosophical considerations can renew our understanding of the bigger picture for your life.

It’s a time to ask harder questions of what’s happening in our world, rather than accepting what’s handed to you on the surface. What is the truth?

While we want to grow in understanding, Saturn puts on the breaks to a degree. Being in opposition to Jupiter, we can feel the limits. It’s not all coming together so clearly. The evidence isn’t handed to us. There’s a ceiling we want to peer through, but the light is being filtered through the fancifully designed glass window. We have hope though to catch a powerful glimpse through the clouds, and keep the faith we can get satisfying answers.

This is a good time to be intuitive to find answers. To know the truth you must not be afraid to ask questions either. Being guided by our morals and ethics will be revealing. If what you’re being told doesn’t make sense, look further, broaden your scope.

We can see this strongly in the world political structure now. People want answers. People want the truth and justice but somewhere along the line there is an intuitive sense that we’re not being given truthful answers. Doubts are raised, as a gift in disguise allowing us to eventually build up the courage to move through them. Skepticism is part of the process of unveiling wisdom beyond simply accepting dogma or superstition and leads us to dig deeper.

People are showing dedication, strength and emotional fortitude, staying devoted to their principles. People want their voices to be heard on a larger scale and to make a difference. Sides of the spectrum are divided yet we see they are united. The shift of balance happens to the whole.

In this search however, some people can feel such strong distrust and relate to the world as a victim. This can provide impetus to reach wider, further, self-educate to grow in wisdom to alleviate the negative experience and reach a higher stance of justice for all.

Speaking of the big picture, Uranus is currently in retrograde and is in tough aspect to Pluto. Concepts of restrictions of freedom are coming up with hidden agenda’s rising to the surface and being challenged by the public. The internet is a huge force in our world, but we can see there are concerns about who wants to evolve it behind the scenes. SOPA (Stop Online PiracyAct) is now being opposed in large scale by the general public as being seen to restrict freedom on the internet and is seen to possibly “break the internet”. Hugely successful Facebook, is being rumored to be working towards restricting internet flow through it by warning logged in users of sites as being unsafe if they are not part of Facebook’s open graph. Rumors, questions, concerns and debates on these subjects will continue to evolve as the public desire for freedom challenges hidden intentions behind the scenes. Questions on justice and fairness practices are emphasized now.

People want to enjoy life, to enjoy success, laughter and feel a sense of security as well. Everyone wants to feel joyfully balanced in their circumstance. Not just for themselves but for those around them. When those around us are enjoying life, it lends itself to create an atmosphere of joy for the rest of us. Many will enjoy the pleasures of food, company and entertainment providing a feeling of worry free leisure this weekend. Laughter with friends is good medicine to the body and mind. Being around those you can be honest around will provide you with a feeling of abundance.

Scientists have found the best evidence yet for water just beneath the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa.

Mercury is newly retrograde, beginning on Thursday at 2:19am EST. Be careful when signing documents for the next few weeks, and think twice before committing to spending, purchasing electronics and gadgets. Back up your emails, and important files on your computer on an external drive or disk just in case. Make sure you’ve got your winter tires on for neighborhood trips.

Be careful with your words too. Quick wit may not be trip off the tongue so easily. Do you want to put your foot in your mouth? Try to take it a bit slower. In the spirit of the weekend as well, jovial drinking can lead to an embarrassment. In the mood to gossip? Be careful what you say and to whom.

Some people will be leaning towards spending money to show off and impress others. Think twice. Save for a rainy day. Black Friday kicks off a weekend of deals, but be sure you’re really getting a deal, and make sure you have time to make returns. Read the fine print.

It’s a good time to take notes to re-read later on subjects of interest. Any philosophical ideas that come to mind should be noted and explored further for the joy of expanding your range of wisdom. Expand your consciousness with meditation this weekend. It’s a great time to start a new practice and focus on gratitude and abundance will do you well.

Juniper, clove, nutmeg, pine and sage are great choices for incense to use over the next month.

When we look at the bigger picture, there’s always something we can attach to that will be stressful. The current socio-political climate is strong in the news, and many want to escape or have an outlet. Anger and resentment over opposing viewpoints can escalate. It’s not surprising to see conspiracy theories mixed with reality leading to confusion. It’s also not surprising to see people using social networks as an outlet for their anger and pent up energy lashing out at others. Remember there are feelings on the other side of the wire. What you say changes the consciousness of others, try to be lighter, expansive and open minded. If there is a stubborn wall of opposition, let it go.

The wiser choice is to take a step back and direct that energy towards learning more. We can all live in a small bubble that we believe is the truth, but in reality we all have limited knowledge. The more knowledge you are able to bring together, the more informed your opinions, actions and reactions can be directed towards improving understanding to those you encounter.

What really is the truth? Is it subjective? Is it merely opinion? Ask questions and uncover what’s hidden. The potential for transforming perceptions is strong now. Start with your own. Forcing opinions on others can be discomforting. Find ways to inform without preaching. Be open to listening and forming opinions that are just and balanced. Biases are stubborn attempts to be right. By allowing yourself humility and room to explore the truth honestly an awakening is just around the corner.

Full Moon in Taurus November 10, 2011 Astrology Forecast

Symbolic Living — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:33:52 +0000

It’s officially a Full Moon in Taurus on November 10, 2011 at 3:16 pm EST.

The Moon is shining bright in the sky as ever. You may have also noticed another bright light in the sky near the moon; that’s Jupiter.

Jupiter has been in Taurus for many moons, bringing with it a growing appreciation and understanding of the natural world and what we associate with it, materialism.

We also see Jupiter in Taurus can point to the abundance or excess we see in terms of money. It is no secret that too much in the hands of the rulers can create an imbalance. We see that Pluto in Capricorn, also and earth sign, indicates a broader, deeper need for transformation in this area of our lives. The convoluted, and encompassing complexities of financial world affairs is only one part of the picture.

There’s also a more personalized gift Jupiter in Taurus bestows upon us to enjoy the season and with the Full Moon emphasizing our attention here, we can relate to the natural cycles around us more deeply.

This Full Moon indicates a time to enjoy the world around you here and now, and to bring attention to your senses. How do you feel in your physical body and environment? Pay attention to the sights, scents, temperatures and sounds.

In these days of November, we often see them as grey and dull, but there’s actually still a lot of color and life all around us. If you can get out to the park to lie in the leaves and have the warm sun on your skin, breathing in the fresh air, you’ll get reacquainted in no time.

The weather is still quite nice in many area’s. Some tree’s still have orange, red and gold leaves. Raking the leaves is a great way to connect to the earth. Pick a few of your favorite leaves to bring the earth element inside. If you don’t have a sacred space, a small table with a few leaves is a good start to reconnect to that sacredness in nature. You may also like adding a few of your favorite stones to symbolize the earth and feeling more grounded.

Burn natural incense to add to the experience. Juniper is a good choice corresponding to Jupiter.

Some plants associated with Jupiter are anise, almond, clove, cypress, dandelion, fig, flax, hyssop, juniper, maple, mullein, nutmeg, oak, olive, poplar, sarsaparilla, vervain. For Taurus you may enjoy apple, cardamom, lilac, magnolia, oakmoss, patchouli, rose thyme, vanilla, and violet.

Taurus rules the throat, so a good practice to feel more in touch with your body and soul is to sing the most beautiful songs in the shower, loudly, boldly. Songs of love and adoration of life will be moving.

Drinking warm, fragrant herbal tea’s under the moonlight, staring into the heavens will bring you to a renewed awareness of your place in the world. You won’t regret giving yourself that extra, deserved time to observe and be present. Tea will also soothe the throat. It’s best to be preventative now in terms of health.

This is a good time to pay attention to your bank balance. Set up an easy plan to stay organized with your income and expenses. Spending on necessities will make you feel better than spending frivolously. Do allow yourself some room for enjoyment. Perhaps a piece of art, home decor or a new outfit will do you well, but only if it’s functional and will stand the test of time.

With Jupiter on your side, think positively about your finances and ways you can grow your security.Give what you can to charity, or to help those you love. Find meaning in the uses of your money rather than burning it senselessly.

If you have a hunch on a business idea, trust it. Brainstorm on it, write down related ideas, and see where it takes you. Use expansive thinking to your advantage, and keep track of the details before you forget them.

Have open-minded philosophical discussions with your partner. Opening up, getting to know each other better will be warming. Enjoy laughter together. Get outside, explore new ideas and spaces.

Mars is inching away from Leo and will enter Virgo late in the evening. It will be bittersweet for Mars to leave fiery Leo to enter new territory. It is a great time to tie up loose ends. Ensure you are organized and ready for the work ahead.

If you have an artistic streak, or have been pondering trying your hand at something new, this would be the ideal time to finalize your decisions and prepare to start working on the details.

If you’ve fallen off the health wagon, this is a great time to renew your interest. Buy a bench to exercise at home, start a routine of running every day in your neighborhood even if only for a few minutes to start. Your heart health and your posture has been important. Now it’s time to get ready to take your routines more seriously with your heightened awareness and appreciation of your physical self.

Jupiter is the equivalent to the god Zeus in the Greek pantheon.

It’s really important to pay attention to where you hold tension in your body and how you expel nervous tension. Make a schedule . Use online tools or an agenda to pencil in time for balancing work and relaxation. Getting regular massages and stretching will be important in the coming weeks. Get in tune with your body more holistically.

If in the coming weeks you notice your intimate life isn’t as interesting or active as you’d like it to be, find ways to improve your self esteem. It would also be useful to find grounding your energy through eating healthy food and running. Lower body exercises from cycling to lunges will help you feel connected to the material world.

We should all be paying more attention to the rhythms of nature, the seasons and our bodies more now. Preparing for the winter ahead by feeling well and on top of things in advance will alleviate a lot of worry. Procrastinating will get worse if you don’t put your best foot forward right away. Have extra food stuffs put away for the harsher days. Get the wood ready for your furnace.

Many of us will feel more reserved and in our own bubble, taking things a bit slower. More sleeping, reading, lounging, listening to music, will all be good for you, along with good, wholesome, nourishing food. Walks, watering the house plants, sitting outside taking in the scenery will do you just fine. Honing in on your skills of observation will be rewarding. Find time to toil and time to chill without going extreme in either direction, for best results.

Interested in traveling? Plan for your future getaway by collecting brochures and doing your research. The most beautiful places will be appealing, as well as those that are stimulating to your intellect. Appreciation of historical design to modern architecture will be tantalizing factors to consider.

For those who unfortunately have a hot temper, be cautious. The Full Moon has been known to raise a bit of lunacy and personal reactions can vary. The Taurus energy can be relentless for those with a tendency to see red so be careful you choose words that won’t have Zeus throw down his thunderbolt in retaliation.

Over the next couple of weeks, getting yourself in a predictable, steady routine will keep you sane, centered and grounded. Incorporate as much earthy activities as possible. Mars, Jupiter and Pluto will be in good company with each other enjoying the earth signs and will help you transform your life into a more concrete, stable lifestyle.

Ancient Secrets of Magic

Symbolic Living — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 22:27:31 +0000

This documentary explores the historical and modern movements of spirituality and magic from ancient Egyptians and Alchemists to the modern new age movement. Each era brought forth a new understanding of the world through questioning common perceptions, beginning the development of scientific discovery and challenging the status quo.

Subjects discuss range from ancient gods, astrology, mysticism, the elements, alchemy, the emerald tablet, hermetics, mystery schools, angels, enochian language, tarot, oracles, theosophy, thelema, to modern technology and the sciences. Controversial ideas in their time, Isaac Newton, Galileo, Aristotle, Plato, Alestair Crowley, Madame Blavatsky, John Dee, Carl Jung, The Beatles, are a few of those mentioned as part of the development, discovery and popularity of these subjects and pushed boundaries.

Although the documentary brings as many questions as answers, it does provide an overview of many subjects in this area of interest.

A few of the concepts discussed:

They expressed it very beautifully – As Above, So Below, it really means wherever you look, the patterns will be the same. At the microscopic level, at our level, and at the cosmic level.

The movements of the planets through the heavens used to be considered the footprints of the gods and goddesses, and when they would catch up with each other and have interactions or one would go retrograde and then go forward again, these things were all understood to affect the world.

In Egypt, divination developed into a sophisticated system of rituals and ceremonies, designed to contact the gods that ruled their world.

They codified an alphabet that would line up the sounds of speech, the number canon and the zodiacal signs planets and features in the heavens so that you could with this alphabet spell sacred words, count, figure and calculate, and you could also do astronomy.

Pythagoras identified numbers as the most fundamental elements of creation.

Many credit pythagoras and his school with the development of numerology, and the efficient Greek alphabet eventually adopted by much of western culture. Pythagoras also applied numbers to decode music, which Greeks regarded as the language of the gods. He invented the monochord which defined the numerical ratios of the musical scale. Pythagoras believed he solved the mysteries of the universe.

The tarot is a pictorial representation of occult teachings. It’s a method of going within and contacting archetypal levels within oneself, spiritual levels and entering meditative state in which intuition is heightened and maybe where you can see certain types of patterns occurring because you are in a certain state of mind.

Three of Swords Tarot Minor Arcana

Symbolic Living — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 15:40:17 +0000

Welcome back to Tarot Notes by Symbolic Living.

We are pleased to rekindle your relationship with the symbolism of the Tarot each week. This week we’re continuing to share the three’s with the Three of Swords.

You may wish to review the Ace of Swords and the Two of Swords before proceeding.

Three of Swords

Astrological Association: Saturn in Libra

What is your initial reaction when viewing this card?

The rain clouds here draw up images of air and water, the mind and emotions respectively. Although this card is interpreted as distress, and it does look like this upon initial viewing there’s also a lot of opportunity here.

The swords are generally viewed as a more negative suit. That’s because swords relate to the mind, and the mind, as we all well know can be quite troublesome for many. A lot of what we think and believe with our minds is attached to a lot of conditioned ideas. The mind afflicted can lead one down a spiral of despair. It doesn’t have to be that way though. With our minds we have the power to choose how we think and react to situations.

What does the heart represent to you? How is the mind and the heart connected? How are your thoughts and beliefs connected?

We can think with our mind, or with our heart. As this card indicates the mind can pierce our emotional selves.

Circumstances in our life from marital problems, to loneliness, mourning, among many others, can lead to a gloomy outlook when our mind becomes entrenched in despairing thoughts. However once we go there, and do the work, the clouds clear and we are stronger than ever. Our brave hearts overcome the circumstance and we rise to the challenge if we pull out the daggers from our heart and let the light shine in our thoughts. The silver lining becomes visible once again.

In Zen and meditation clouds are used as a metaphor to describe the the way our minds work. Our thoughts come and go, arise and disappear, and are constantly moving, changing and affecting us. Stilling the mind is an important part of meditation to go beyond the illusions our minds can impose on our perception of reality.

Notice which way the clouds are moving. They are not stagnant, there is movement here and change is inevitable. It will not rain forever.

The rain is a symbol of fertility and life as well, we have the opportunity to bring new awareness into our lives that allow us to grow. Rain is as much necessary for growth as is the shining sun.

The clouds and rain can also represent a time needing cleansing.

The sacred heart also refers to our spiritual selves. How does your mind conflict with your spiritual center?

Questions for Personal Consideration:

Have you had a loss in life that required courage and strength?
Have you grown and matured immensely due to a struggle in life?
Do you worry, or are afraid of competition?
Have you been in a conflict where words dug deep into your heart? Have you done this to another?
Does your mind conflict with your heart?
Where in life do you have work to do, where an obstacle has been encountered and needs to be overcome?

We hope you enjoy learning about Tarot at Symbolic Living with an easy to understand approach for beginners. We also hope you can find personal relations to the card symbolism and think about the imagery in new and expansive ways.

Some weeks we may talk about the cards, history and more. As we go along things will change and develop, we’ll keep it interesting for you.

You are also welcome to join the Symbolic Living Forum for further discussion in the Tarot section where each card can be discussed with members.

Three of Cups Tarot Minor Arcana

Welcome back to Tarot Notes at Symbolic Living.

We are pleased to rekindle your relationship with the symbolism of the Tarot each week. This week we’re continuing to share the three’s with the Three of Cups.

You may wish to review the Ace of Cups and the Two of Cups before proceeding.

Three of Cups

Astrological Association: Mercury in Cancer

This card signifies an overflowing of emotion (cups). Although the card does not show spilling of the cups as one would suspect in overflowing, there is a firm foundation that holds these cups.

The will yellow, the security and foundation is dominant (red) white surrounds both. The woman in red has her hand on the white, signifying receiving what is pure. the right hand liften to the yellow shows the power of security driven by the will, she in yellow reciproates with the right hand lifting her cup. The woman in white lifts her cup with her left hand, signifying she is receiving the good that comes from security and will. The woman in red has yellow shoes further signifying the close connection of security and will through action. They all appear to be dancing.

The cups create a triangle, a unity. Cups symbolizing emotion, overflow with joy.

In some decks rain is present. Rain is a sign of abundance, fertility, life force granted to the dry earth. Consider in times of drought how ecstatic people are when the rains finally arrive. This signifies gratitude for what is.

Here we see friendship, camaraderie, a shared purpose in an abundant garden. It could be prosperity, but also shows us the rewards and riches felt within, and may not be dependent on externals.

Alchemical colors - white (purification), red (refinement), yellow/gold (perfection).

This card may denote a celebration but also shows us the presence of a healing atmosphere, enjoyed sharing, positive communications.

As mentioned in the security, foundation and will brought together. The common effort and purpose brought together.

Happiness shared is never wasted.

Cheers.

Some personal considerations:

What kinds of vegetables or fruit can you make out in the image? What do they symbolize to you personally? What memories of times in your life that felt abundant.

What do you have to be grateful for?
Who in your life do you enjoy and celebrate with?
Do you have a relationship that allows your views to be communicated?
Do you have a grip on your emotions?
Do you have a positive attitude that gives you a celebratory feeling within?

Three of Wands Tarot Minor Arcana

Symbolic Living — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:56:16 +0000

Welcome back to Tarot Notes at Symbolic Living.

We are pleased to rekindle your relationship with the symbolism of the Tarot each week. This week we’re beginning the three’s with the Three of Wands.

You may wish to review the Ace of Wands and the Two of Wands before proceeding.

Three of Wands

Exploration of the Art: Does this man look familiar to the man in the Two of Wands? Could he be the same man or a close family member.

One thing you’ll notice about this card is the color yellow is very prominent. Even the water is yellow. That is a strong sun!

The willpower, determination and ambition in this card is strongly signified by the yellow color dominance. Also dominating is the red cloak and red shoes. He’s got his feet very firmly planted on the ground.

Two staffs are secure in the ground, and he holds the third with his right (active) hand. Notice the leaves on the first two staffs, each growth is grouped with three leaves. Notice the top of the 3rd staff he is holding, it has an extra leaf growing, a fourth. What do you suppose this signifies?

Note the difference between his upper left side and upper right side of his body. How are the posture, and placement of clothes significant. His left hand is hidden, his right arm juts out with a blue shirt. Blue represents communication. Also notice the checkered black and yellow section of his cloak. Read more about the checkerboard here.

See how it moves from the large piece of yellow covering his left (receptive) hidden side. What is he willing, wishing to receive? His receptive side appears stable, while his right (active) side willingly decides what to do. His right hand does not hold the staff too firmly or too loosely, the grip appears comfortable, confident and present.

He also has a band circling his head, bringing our attention to the mind. What’s on his mind? We can not see any expression on his face. Would you guess he is confident from the other clues you see in the image?

In the gold water we see boats. Perhaps they are leaving for a voyage, or returning. There are three wands, and three ships. Is there equal return matching the effort given? Why would the water be yellow (golden) instead of blue?

Like the Two of Wands, we see the man has a high vantage point, looking down and observe a large area. Does this represent higher consciousness, knowing, status?

Anything else you notice or catches your eye?

Astrological Association: Sun in Aries

What does the Sun represent to you, and Aries? Expression, confidence, achievement, willpower, beginnings… what else?

This card is showing us the man who is doing well. This is someone who is following an inner inspiration, an urge to do well and is in a place where he can watch the actions of his decisions. He is following a purpose that has a fire burning within him of energy and desire to accomplish.

He is active, yet stable. He has positive energy, ideas, and enthusiasm. He had confidence that is broad reaching. His plans set in motion, able to think ahead and reap rewards.

He is a coordinator, or part of a larger vision, and takes his part.

Here we see trust in using energy wisely, to encompass a large capacity without wasting anything. Goals are achievable when effort and will are directed.

Questions for Self Reflection:

Are you a visionary?
Do you have long term goals you trust you can achieve?
Are you ambitious?
Where in your life did you work hard and then enjoyed the results?
What do you see in your future – out there?
What do you want for your life?
Are you willing to do the work and make the decisions necessary to see a return?
Do you do your work with integrity and honesty, deserving the positive rewards?
Looking back at the Ace of Wands and the Two of Wands, how does this card relate?
What accomplishments can you observe and be proud of?
Do you have ideas that are productive and reap rewards?

We hope you enjoy learning about Tarot at Symbolic Living with an easy to understand approach for beginners. We also hope you can find personal relations to the card symbolism and think about the imagery in new and expansive ways.

Some weeks we may talk about the cards, history and more. As we go along things will change and develop, we’ll keep it interesting for you.
