WISH UPON A STAR — VENUS IN AQUARIUS — FEBRUARY 1 to 26, 2013

Hello again dear Friends and Readers, this is one of my favorite transits, Venus through Aquarius, and I hope to entertain you with a few good stories as well as help you understand how the transits work in real life.  My late Dad was my friend as well as my Dad.  One day I thought, “Gee, Dad and I haven’t been out to lunch in a couple of months.”  Within 30 seconds the phone rang and Dad said, “Want to go to lunch?”  We had a good laugh — these little psychic connections make mundane life  much more fun !!! … fast forward about 30 years and my sweetie has the same degree Ascendant as my Dad had his Moon in — 3 degrees Aquarius.  One day a few years ago we were driving in town and I thought, “Gee, it would be nice to go out to dinner, we haven’t done that in quite a while.”  I ran through the options in my head, Mexican, American, Thai, etc. and I thought Thai sounded good.  Before I could even say a word, my sweetie voiced my exact thoughts and we ended up having a very nice meal at the Thai restaurant :)…

So, folks, this is the transit to realize that your thoughts are powerful, they’re creative, and they run on electricity and we are all linked together on what I like to call “the invisible grape-vine”.  If you’re folding laundry and your Grandma comes to mind, probably a good idea to call or visit.  If you’re at home and your husband is out and you realize you need something from the store, try projecting it first and  wait 5 minutes and see if he doesn’t check in with you before he heads home.  I think it’s even easier to communicate on the psychic level with girlfriends and/or sisters, and brothers can often do it, too.  This is the transit to guess who is on the phone before you pick it up.  Try turning a deck of cards and see if you know which one will be next.  There’s all kinds of little tricks you can practice.  And believe me, these skills will come in very handy if the power goes out and you need to contact a loved one, or some other kind of emergency arises.

In the examples above, I forgot to mention that my Sun is conjunct my late Dad’s Moon and my sweetie’s Ascendant.  Naturally, these kinds of conjunctions make it easier to get on the same wave length. I have noticed that I usually feel close to Taurus women, because that is where my Moon is. Also, since my Venus is in Aquarius, I have many wonderful friends who are Aquarian, too.  Take inventory of the people in your life and look for those kinds of connections with your own chart. Sun on Moon, Ascendant, Venus, etc.  Uranus rules Aquarius and rules electrical systems in the body, along with Mercury.  I have a daughter living on the other side of the world and we share a Taurus Moon.  I’ll think of her and she will call within just a few minutes, or vice versa. We have proven to ourselves that a mental message can travel thousands of miles in an instant.  If only I could figure out how to teleport myself over there for dinner and a visit, and then back home to start my regular day J..… Aquarius, and particularly Venus in Aquarius, is very much about brotherly love, humanitarian love, friendship with great passion and loyalty and this love goes beyond any mundane boundaries of time, space, distance.  Love is love…

People who have mostly air and fire planets in their charts are more likely to experience this transit easily and with great benefits.  Earth can find Aquarius stimulating but potentially disruptive, so if you have a lot of earth planets, this transit will be easier if you stay flexible and open to innovation. People who have mostly water planets may feel a little put out by friends who don’t show enough sensitivity.  I have noticed Venus squares often have to do with difficulty finding agreement about social or cultural matters.  For example, a Scorpio is going to prefer a different movie than an Aquarian.  A Cancer might disagree with an Aquarian’s choice of restaurant; a Pisces might be a little frustrated with an Aquarian’s musical choices.  We Aquarians are not known for our sensitivity; our style is more direct and blunt and we rarely pussy-foot around.  We are friendly and we are kind, but I would suggest to you during this transit to SLOW DOWN a bit when suggesting social activities — make some room in the conversation and encourage quieter or more passive people to contribute their wishes and opinions, too.

This transit is fabulous for meetings and gatherings that are not purely social, that have a purpose beyond the pleasure of the moment.  Barn-building, quilting-bee energy — could be work-related, charitable, volunteering, community action — cooperation for the greater good is highly favored.

OK, let’s check out the coming transits to Venus in Aquarius this month…On Sunday February 3rd, Venus is semi-sextile (30 degrees) from Neptune.  Very good for healing, prayer circles, support groups of all kinds. This transit favors one on one conversations where one trusted friend helps another with a painful or troubling or confusing issue.  Sometime just listening helps the other person clear their head.

On the 4th, Moon in Sag sextiles Venus — great for gathering with friends, socializing, maybe discussing world events or philosophy.  If you’re a student, this one helps if you study in a small group.  On the 6th, Venus is sextile Uranus — sextile means helpful with a little effort or elbow grease required to get the best results.  This one is fabulous for psychic communication, both sending and receiving.  And if you have a question about your life, reach out to your guides, the invisible ones, for help and you  may find the answers come to you in a very surprising way. This transit often symbolizes unexpected good news.  Pay attention to your dreams, too, as Mercury conjoins Neptune the same day.

On the 7th Venus trines Jupiter — one of the luckiest transits in astrology.  I always tell my clients to make use of these trines, don’t just expect the prize to fall into your lap, though sometimes it DOES.  Do something to affirm your dreams and goals.  A great  day for writing and communication of all kinds, bopping around the neighborhood and connecting with people, receiving information that makes a positive change in your life.  This would also be a good day to enter contests, buy a lotto ticket, post items online for sale, or begin some kind of advertising campaign.  On the 9th the Moon conjoins Venus — wonderful for gatherings of women, or kindred spirits.  A great day for a shower, a party, a special ceremony or service.  Really folks, after the kinds of transits we’ve been having since last October, this week is a real positive and it is special — make it count !!!  New Moon is late Saturday night.

Monday the 11th is a square between Venus and Saturn.  This one can be a pain, an irritation, or something a lot more serious, depending on your individual chart.  People might feel sad, or wanting love and affection and not finding it.  There can be issues between friends, or between lovers. Hurt feelings.  If someone says they will do something and then they blow it off and don’t come through, the could be a deal-breaker in a close relationship.  Act with integrity and keep your promises.  Better to say no than to say yes and then wish you hadn’t…whatever it is, any misunderstanding could take a few days to straighten out, assuming it’s not terribly serious.  Try for a fresh  start when Moon in Aries sextiles Venus late on Wednesday the 13th.  Sometimes talking a walk with someone helps clear the air…

There’s a bunch of minor but potentially glitchy transits with Venus for the next 2 weeks, culminating in Moon opposition Venus on the 24th-25th.  Moon in Leo — ego? Pride? The blame game?  Oppositions can go either way — you could achieve a great rapport or find yourself in opposing corners.  I don’t see this particular transit as being about male-female relationships, though an individual chart could change that.  Unless as a couple, you are arguing about friends and/or social life,  I see this as more between parents and children (Leo) or between friends (Aquarius).  Remember, too, that it’s the Full Moon is Virgo/Pisces and this can amplify emotions. Be very careful if you’re trying to make a point that it is not interpreted as criticism.  Teenagers, in particular, tend to be very defensive. Parents will need to exercise self-discipline. True communication should come from the heart if there’s an issue you feel very strongly about — it will help to remember the ancient words…love is patient, love is kind, love is not puffed up…

Sorry to end the post with a difficult transit, but I didn’t write the book, I only interpret it…Blessings, Jenae

VENUS IN CAPRICORN — JANUARY 9 — FEBRUARY 2, 2013

Posted in astrology and metaphysics, tagged , , on January 9, 2013| Leave a Comment »

VENUS IN CAPRICORN — JANUARY  9 — FEBRUARY 2, 2013

Good Evening, dear Friends and Readers, tonight we’ll explore the Venus in Cap transits.  All you Capricorns out there — Cap Sun, Moon, and Ascendant, too, you have the best transits of the year for personal shopping, beautification, and transformation.  Mercury is forward so it’s all systems go for a major purchase if you need one.  Some of you may be making beneficial changes in career, even starting or expanding your own business.  There are some very helpful planet positions to help you achieve a large and serious goal.  Pluto is also in Capricorn and running sextile to Saturn in Scorpio, the ruler of Capricorn.  Caps are famous for wanting quality as opposed to quantity, so make your purchases count toward long-term goals and needs, rather than the impulsive shopping of the moment.  Think substantial rather than trivial.  Transform your office, whether at home or at work.  It’s a great time to upgrade the tools you need; Mars in Aquarius is mildly helpful if you need new technology.  Mercury in Cap is favorable if you need a new approach to paperwork and it’s also a good day on Friday the New Moon on the 11th to approach the boss for a favorable reception.

When Venus is in our Sun sign or in our 1st house, people tend to be kindly disposed toward us.  You may receive unexpected favors, gifts, little treats that make life sweet.  Those of you with this position should consider creating beauty in your life.  Starting with the physical, it’s a great time to start a self-improvement program for better health and beauty.  Exercise for flexibility,  take care of your teeth and get good dental care, add something pretty to your office and dress for success.  Good grooming counts this month as you will be attracting more attention than usual.  On the mental level, it will be easier to be gracious to others and make amends if you’ve had a recent disagreement with someone.  Beautiful speech as well as beautiful penmanship can aid you in getting your point across.  By beautiful, I don’t mean flowery phrases, I mean kind and thoughtful words.  Send a card if you’re not sure what to say. On the emotional level, this period is very special when dealing with seniors.  A GREAT time to visit or call elderly relatives, neighbors, people who could benefit from a visit.  Those of you who have major Cancer planets can also interact with seniors.  Consider recording the family history and stories they know because you will have something priceless to share later with the younger generations.

It’s just as important to be patient and kind to YOURSELF.  I know one Cap who is currently taking a well-deserved vacation in the sun, and another who is about to go skiing.  Not all Caps are going on vacation; some of them will be using Venus to make progress in career and relationships.  IF you happen to be in promotions and marketing, you could be exceptionally clever with a new idea or even a small gadget to promote a business.  One of the cutest pens I ever saw had a cow on top of it — it was for a really good steakhouse 🙂   Being kind to yourself can mean that you forgive yourself.  All of us have done things we regret.  You see people all the time who wrap their regrets  around them like their favorite old sweater; they haven’t truly forgiven themselves and they are using that as an excuse for failure or as an excuse for not moving forward in their life.  We’ve all been there…all it achieves is feeling stuck and stagnating, and on this earth, in THIS SCHOOL, if we’re not moving forward we’re moving backwards.  Venus and Pluto can help you break the chains…

People with a lot of planets in Aries and Libra may  find this month a bit more challenging than other times.  It’s not a walk in the park, but there can be rewards for focused work and mature behavior.  With Cancers, it’s more of a mixed bag because oppositions can be either positive or negative.  I know one Cancer with Cap in her 6th and very positive things are happening re: career.  Things that have already been earned, have been in the works for a long time…

It’s important to remember that the Capricorn energy tends to bring the goodies after we have already earned them.  That’s why Capricorn is the sign that rules the elderly;  the older we get the easier it is to achieve the positive expression of this sign — big accomplishments, expertise,  recognition for our contributions, more financial security, etc.

People with a lot of planets in earth and water signs should be doing pretty well this month.  The Capricorn transits are either trine or sextile.  I think it will be the hardest to figure out all the details for people with a lot of Gemini and/or Leo planets because for them the Capricorn transits will be inconjunct — lots of little problems you can get sucked into unless you first ask yourself “Who owns the problem?”  Once you’ve decided who bears the real responsibility, then you can figure out if you need to help, if you want to help, if you want to pass, etc.  All of the above are options — keep an open mind while you determine the best solution.  Inconjuncts tend to come out in the workplace, but there are always exceptions, like a family member who is a master at guilt-tripping the relatives.  People with a lot of planets in either Sag or Aquarius have mild but helpful transits from Capricorn.  Pretty good for making slight adjustments in your daily routine to make more time for spiritual matters — contemplation, meditation, study, etc.

Looking for major Venus transits during this period, January 12-13 sees Venus square Uranus in Aries.  That’s this weekend.  Maybe there’s little too much excitement?  Like plans getting changed at the last minute?  Best to stay  flexible and not attached to any certain outcome or agenda…

Venus is conjunct Pluto in Cap on January 16-17.  All the other transits around that  time are quite pleasant with the exception of the Moon in Aries in square to Cap.  SO I think it will be a favorable period for all the activities mentioned above, with the one exception being it is not a good time to overdo with exercise.  If you pull a muscle or take a fall, it will set you back way beyond the moment, so don’t take on more than you can do just because someone might challenge you.  I would avoid PT and exercise and sports coaches for those two days.  They’re not inside your body and YOU know better what you own limitations are…

Full Moon is January 26-28 and during that time there are some minor transits involving Venus and the Moon, Jupiter and Chiron.  I don’t think these are strong enough to cause problems but it would be helpful to doublecheck all social plans — time, date, place, etc. because there could be some minor glitches.  Mostly I feel that some people will experience disappointment because they wanted to talk to the friend and tell them stuff that they were having to deal with recently, and the friend is self-absorbed and not open to listening well or helping as a friend should.  If this is a true friend, there will be a better time for you to tell them what’s on your mind.  If this is a “friend” who is this way a LOT, then you may decide to pull back a bit if the friendship doesn’t seem fair.  There doesn’t need to be a big confrontation, and particularly so on the Full Moon.  Venus in Aquarius, the sign that rules friendships, indicates you’ll have a better time to get clear communication before February 23rd ( Mercury retrograde again…)

You may have read this post and thought, where are all the exact transits, Jenae?  The strength of January is not in exact transits, it’s in the fact that the Sun, Mercury, and Pluto are concurrently in Capricorn, plus Pluto is in very helpful sextile to Saturn.  An abundance of Cap energy, if you will. It’s a good month to get a lot done.  Any babies born this month will be little power-houses, magnificently able to bring things into physical manifestation……Blessings, Jenae

WISH UPON A STAR — NEPTUNE IN PISCES— DISSOLVING BOUNDARIES

Posted in astrology and metaphysics, tagged , , on January 9, 2013| Leave a Comment »

WISH UPON A STAR — NEPTUNE IN PISCES — DISSOLVING BOUNDARIES

Hello dear Friends and Readers, it’s been 149 years since Neptune transited through its own sign of Pisces.  Neptune is the hardest planet to interpret since its nature is so ephemeral.  I imagine we’ll all come to understand Neptune a lot better as it moves through Pisces into the 2020’s.  To understand Neptune let’s start with Pisces and the definitions of the 12th house.  All of us have Pisces somewhere in out natal charts, and that would be a clue as to what area you need to seek unity and clarity of intentions…

The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions.  So we get the highest of the high and the lowest of the low.  The most positive definition is channeling inspiration from heaven down to earth through the arts and  through compassionate love for the ill and afflicted.  Neptune was discovered in 1846; photography came into use and from there movies were invented.  Dancing is also ruled by Pisces since the sign rules the feet.  If someone is working in the healing professions — both mental health and physical health, or hospice, or helping at a Food Bank, or  getting emergency food and water to refugees — all these would be examples of the Neptune energy.  We are all connected by what I like to call the invisible grapevine.  All of us have a bit of Mother Theresa in us somewhere….

The most negative definitions of Pisces are mental health problems, alcohol and drug problems, crimes and jail time, deception of others but also the ways which we deceive ourselves. On the physical level, Pisces rules all places of both refuge and confinement.  Some examples would be hospitals, churches, health and beauty spas, jails, orphanages, group homes, monasteries, etc.  You get the picture…

On the mental/emotional level, the Pisces/Neptune energy  could symbolize aspiration, manipulation, compassion, self-deception, self-sabotage,  surrender, inspiration,  grief, and spiritual peace.  It’s a real mixed bag and that is why the 12th house, the natural Pisces/Neptune house, symbolizes the unconscious mind from which all creativity springs.  It’s your connection to the Heavenly realms, the path to contact your own guides and teachers and loving entities who wish you well — whether they are in body or in spirit.  Intention is paramount when dealing with the 12th house energy.  Hidden agendas create difficult karma later.

I have noticed that water signs seem to have such a good sense of timing.  They tend to naturally go with the flow.  We can all try this 12th house technique when we are faced with problems that seem to defy solution…give it up to God, the Universe, whatever,  and truly  surrender the worry and anxiety — don’t give it up and then take it back again.  When we do this and get ourselves out of the way and release attachment to any particular outcome — that’s when the miracles happen….

Neptune transits can symbolize grief and  loneliness.  The flip side is a unity that stems from the wisdom of the heart — beyond both intellect and/or gut emotion.  Meditation and prayer change our brain waves, open us up to higher, yet more subtle perceptions.  People who have had near death experiences have written about the overwhelming sense of love that they feel on the other side as part of the whole instead of the sense of separation that we can feel on earth.

I wanted to explore in this post what Neptune transiting Pisces might mean for the world and how it might impact our evolution.  In order to do that, we’re also going to take a brief look back at Neptune in Aquarius to see if we can find some clues.  As far as individuals, there is enough information in all my posts so far to help you figure out which house in your chart has Pisces and what house Neptune is transiting in your chart.  It’s your mystery to figure out, unless you get your chart done, but I can share some tidbits I’ve picked up along the way after watching people and Neptune transits over the years.  Starting with myself, my Dad passed when Neptune was on my Sun.  Neptune moves so slowly that I figured it would take me awhile to process grief.  In addition,  I ended up buying a place that put me in the exact same position — compassionate love for the ill and afflicted — and I took care of people for 6 years as Neptune slowly moved through my 6th house and conjoined my Jupiter and Venus.  Another astrologer called me and said “OMG, Jenae, have you looked at your chart?  Do you see how perfect a Neptune expression you are living?”  I chuckled and said, “Yeah, I figured the only business that could possibly succeed under these transits would be creating a haven of peace and tranquility for seniors.”  And that is what I did, and it allowed  me to understand more deeply what had been  going on with my Dad.

When two people make a soul agreement to meet up on earth in a loving partnership, there are ALWAYS Neptune interaspects between the two charts.  When people are in a  relationship where it’s easy to give and receive forgiveness, expect to find beneficial Neptune aspects in both charts.  Especially with two good friends, there are interaspects  in the comparison like one’ s Neptune sextile the other’s Sun,  or Moon,  Venus, Mars, etc.  I’ve also seen Neptune in harsh or challenging aspect in comparisons and often the person feels like they owe the other, and on a soul level they probably do, so in this life they’re busy resolving some old karma from the past…

OK, let’s look back at Neptune in Aquarius for the big trends in evolution for humanity and our planet… I have been pondering this for a long while before writing this post.  I think one VERY BIG TREND was the technology that brought us the faster computers and internet, emails, You Tube, phones that can do almost anything J) AND the rise and power of the social media.  Think about it, folks, even though there are commercials on TV about not believing everything we see and read on the Internet, the new power of groups and individuals CAN get the truth out and it can go around the world about as fast as our blood circulates in our bodies.  People can now publish their own books, they can set up recording studios, they can teach and above all — they CONNECT.  The new technology has truly made our world smaller, and we can reach out to others across the planet.  Aquarians love mankind, brotherly love.  With Pisces, that love extends beyond people to embrace the planet as a whole and that includes the animal world, the sea, all environmental issues.

SO…looking ahead, I think this Neptune in Pisces transit may be the breakthrough coming with the ANIMALS  — understanding how they communicate with each other and how we could better communicate with them.  The scientists are already on the edge of huge breakthroughs in this area and I’m pretty certain we’ll see a lot more in the next years.  The SEA — our oceans are awash in plastics from garbage and it’s getting to the point where they are now finding plastic pieces in the stomachs of fish, and maybe other sea creatures.  I hope and pray that this is the decade where we love and respect the sea and start cleaning up our act.  There are things you can do as individuals.  If I lived on the coast I would participate in the annual clean up your local beach day.  Especially if you are lonely — what a wonderful way to meet kindred spirits!

WATER in general — The need for clean water is  really going to be a paramount issue in this decade.  The climate is upset, the planet is upset, and this manifestation of extreme weather is likely to continue.  Some places will have too much water, and others not enough.  Neptune rules chemicals and pharmaceuticals and already medical facilities are recycling pills and not flushing them down the drain since they discovered recently that they are ending up in the water supply.  The state of Wyoming saved $546,000 in ONE year just by recycling unused medications.  They are also the LEAST populated state, though one of the smartest.  Just think what all the other states could do by adopting this policy !! Even Montana, another smart state that actively preserves their water quality, has drop boxes in small towns   where people can bring unused medications for proper  disposal.  A step in the right direction…   I think we will see school programs in the next decade give more rewards through contests to generate ideas about how to use water more efficiently.  The young people are  truly the hope of this world !!!

MENTAL HEALTH issues are strongly to the forefront over this holiday season, particularly in the USA.  The veneer of civilization is very thin, folks, and it is becoming ever more clear that people with mental health issues are not getting the help they need and then we ALL pay the terrible price for their illnesses and the tragedies they bring.  Currently, there are privacy laws preventing a mental health data base.  I believe these will be amended in the interest of public safety.  I predict that there will be much more RESEARCH funded in the MENTAL HEALTH area since it becoming more apparent by the day that the current policies and programs are barely working.  I read some very disturbing information over the holidays that indicated that the rampant use of psychotherapy medicines in young people not only contribute to the high suicide rate, but they interfere with the development of morals and conscience, similar to fetal alcohol syndrome, and these young people can end up as sociopaths, with the potential for the worst kinds of crimes.  And who pays the price?  We ALL do…I believe this will be changing in the next decade.  There are things you can do as individuals.  If you know a pregnant woman, give her  some emotional support, and optimum conditions for the baby.  No drugs, no alcohol, cut way back on the junk food since they contain so many chemicals.  Especially if you know a young single woman who is pregnant,  “adopt” her, show her how special she is and how important good nutrition is for her and the baby.  I was a single parent and I always adopted a Grandma in every town we lived in.  It’s a good match, the very old and the very young…

Neptune dissolves boundaries.  The more mystical people can experience spiritual joy while here on earth during this transit.  A dear friend put it so well…she said, “Don’t forget to breathe love, in and out, each day in all that we do.”  There are things we can do as individuals.  One is not to make a different between things as this focuses on separation.  For example, why should there be a difference between doing the dishes and going to the park?  Or between bathing a child and getting a report finished at work?  If ALL of our  daily activities are done with the same aspiration and inner attitude, then differences are dissolved and this brings more unity into our lives.  Daily meditation helps. Pranayama helps.  Our task and our joy with this transit is to merge with Heaven while here on EARTH…Namaste, Jenae
