AURUM ASTROLOGY Finding the Gold in Life

We are still in the energy field of Monday's New Moon in Aries. There's a volatility in the air that can take us way off course if we're not careful. This powerful energy can be highly productive but needs to be consciously harnessed to be of use. Prudence is advised. Set your intentions wisely. A New Moon in Aries means New Beginnings. New initiatives. New ideas. This  warrior energy is  all about taking courageous action!  After  much back-and-forthing, we now have a chance to press the restart button for the whole year.  Set your intention. Let it be so. There is a need for caution. What we put into motion now will ripple out for some time to come.  In this highly reactive and impatient  atmosphere,  we must take care to see our way clearly and not get sidetracked by our impatience to get going. Go we must, but in the right way , and at the right time. Slow and steady wins the race (Mars in Taurus). I am doing an course in the Tarot where we are using Sou

Today Venus retrograde (inward) joins with the Sun in Aries to shine a light on LOVE.  It's hidden (Venus is passing behind the Sun) and its deep - and it is what we are all looking for. And - it is inside of us. All we have to do is look.   “If you find me not within you, you will never find me. For I have been with you, from the beginning of me.” Rumi  

Happy spring everyone! On Monday  March 20th (yesterday now) the Sun crossed from Pisces into Aries… over what is called the Aries point, where the collective unconscious (Pisces) meets the  uber - personal (A ri es).    Pisces is where we lose our edges, Aries is where we find them. If you r birthday is today you are full of vim and vigour -  you take initiative and are on a fast track to get- er-done.  You are are also a bit dreamy and romantic and prone to escapism (Pisces influence), and might also be feeling a bit serious - due to the Moon’s recent conjunction with Saturn, the planet of cause and effect.  Saturn’s position on the Galactic core says this is going to be a key year for all of us. The galactic core is the centre of our galaxy and represents a kind of tuning fork - or energy beam – tuning us into - calling us back - to our true soul purpose and meaning. The Moon in Capricorn  and Moon/Saturn focus on mastery -

Spring is about to be Sprung! Hurray! It may take a while for all the snow to melt where I am in the great white north,  but we can feel spring stirring nonetheless. Monday March 20th is the Vernal Equinox - when the Sun crosses over the equator and night and day are equal.  This is also called the Aries point - as the Sun moves from Pisces into Aries it links the universal (Pisces) to the personal (Aries).  Take a moment to pause - and remember - that I am you - and you are me - and we are all in this together. I'll be back on Monday to add more details re the astrology of the moment.  Till then, the Moon is in cheerful, expansive Sagittarius, a positive influence to help us all have a great weekend!

The Full Moon at 22 ° Virgo today sits opposite several planets in Pisces, accelerating the intense feelings of polarization that often occur at a Full Moon.   Virgo is about purification, and perfection: it rules our health, and  brings a focus on organization and details. It also activates a strong urge to be of service to others. There is a lot of healing energy coming  via Chiron (the wounded-healer) the Sun (essence, vitality) and Mercury (mind) all together in Pisces. The presence of Chiron  could bring up our vulnerabilities, particular around communication and ‘speaking our truth’. Sometimes we don't know for sure what our truth is... The other challenge is that our 'truth' may not be the same as another's 'truth';  part of the test will be how  to  hear each other, while also getting heard. Perhaps you will find a way to help someone speak up about something that has been bothering them, and in so doing

Have you been feeling a bit spacey and un-grounded this week? Have you been feeling extra sensitive for no obvious reason? Is the urge to escape it all even stronger than usual? Maybe your dreams are extra vivid. Alexander_Jansso The Sun in Pisces is currently linking Mercury (thinking/communicating/mind) with Neptune (imagination/intuition/compassion). Now's a good time to tap into our interior, non-linear spaces. Intuition is strong and leads us to deeper  experiences arising out of the inner psyche. Our creativity lives here. Let your imagination fly. Alexander_Jansso Chiron close by can trigger our vulnerability, with the potential of healing old wounds. Be gentle with yourself.
