Mercury enters Scorpio

There is more than meets the eye...

Shhhhh...Mercury has just slipped into secretive and mysterious Scorpio until November 2. So, as it goes, it means time to start keeping your thoughts and plans on the DL, and using a heavy hand in strategy to get by, as it will mean digging deeper for answers and holding tighter your tongue.

Yup, consider this phase a mental game of all or nothing, where nothing is quite as it seems and all that does meet the eye can merely be a display of smoke and mirrors. So, to get to the heart of anything now, it'll mean obsession, as in keeping a one-track mind with only having eyes on the prize. If you really want it, it means your mind will not stray from the duties at hand, as it will take 110% dedication and pledging allegiance to wanting to not only win, but have those enemies lose!

As for areas per sign to reshuffle the brain into total absorption, for maximum results, here it is:

Aries: Sex, power, money and magic can all be in your pocket now, but not if you spill the beans. Think of demure as your new black.
Taurus: If you want to really see who you can trust, give them enough rope to hang themselves and see what they do. You may be amazed at those results.
Gemini: There is no end to research and if you think there is, then you're missing something.
Cancer: Having fun and indulging in pleasure is not a diversion from progress, if you're doing it right.
Leo: Roots only come with cultivation. Hoe. Hoe. Hoe.
Virgo: It's not what another says that matters now, it's what they leave out. Read in-between those lines!
Libra: Money is power, not more debt.
Scorpio: Me, myself and I. Think it, be it, love it, live it. You're always right (Well, until Nov. 2).
Sagittarius: Don't let signs go unnoticed. The world is communicating to you in mysterious ways, so pay close attention.
Capricorn: Who cares who you know, unless they actually call you back.
Aquarius: Heavy is the head that wears the crown improperly.
Pisces: Bigger is better, and that also applies to honesty too.

Full Moon in Aries

Celebrating the pioneering spirit!

An inspiring story of determination and leadership -- Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, AKA Lula, the President of Brazil from January 1, 2003 – December 31, 2010, who lead the country to becoming one of the fastest growing economies in the world, is considered the most popular leader in Brazilian history, brought in his successor -- Brazil's first female President, Dilma Rousseff, and started out illiterate until the age of 10, completing his formal education only until the 4th grade due to needing to help support his family...and a Scorpio!

(FYI: Start at 4:40 if you want to get right to it...but the entire segment is interesting.)

Venus enters Scorpio

Love without boundaries.

Hold onto your knickers, because Venus has just entered Scorpio! Yes, this is a high intensity time all the way, 24-7, and if whatever is making you feel the love doesn't also have the power to destroy you, then according to the laws of Venus in Scorpio, it isn't worth it and time to reconsider where you are going with it -- as that is how this transit rolls. It's all or nothing.

So, with this in mind, understand love means much more than holding hands now, as in diving deeper into the depths of your soul and scouring up every bit of who you are, and pledging it all to that in which you love, as it is only with this as your prerequisite that you have any chance of emotional success...which means, if you aren't feeling it, this period of time will only emphasize its need for a demise.

However, you do have now until November 2nd to get to the bottom of whatever compels you or uncover a thing or two that can suddenly do so, as this phase is also about secrets being revealed and discovering the magnitude of your intensity and willingness to commitment -- and not because you have to, but because you must, because the passion burns so strong inside you that you can't do anything else, but submit...

As for those areas per sign in which to let down the barricades and let passion wake or waste you, it is as follows...

Aries: Enters the dark side, as it's only going into deepest part of your psyche and living out your freaky fantasies that will satiation you now. Power, money, sex, live it, love it, be it.

Taurus:
Two heads are better than one. Some call it co-dependence, to you it's love. Why have it anyone other way when it feels so good?


Gemini: Give until you can't give anymore. If this means non-stop speed dialing, so be it. Attentiveness never killed anyone.
 
Cancer: You have a flair for romance, so wear it on your sleeve. As it goes, this is your time to indulge in everything that makes you feel good and sometimes that will mean choreographing all the scenes to fit your needs.

Leo: It's about building foundations and having your security now. If this means claiming total possession, well at the least, 9/10s is considered the law.
 
Virgo: Some call it obsession, but you know it as learning. Nothing like gathering as much information as possible, as it is the fuel to your fire.

Libra: Nothing personifies passion like the act of giving or getting something with a gigantic price tag -- either literally or metaphorically.

Scorpio: It's not just that you win, it's that others lose. Get what you deserve, as in what you want and all rights to gloat over your haters.

Sagittarius: It's your world and others are just in it for your amusement. If it means banishing them at your will, so be it.

Capricorn: It's all about who you know and having power in numbers, so don't be scared to spread that love of yours around.

Aquarius:  All work and no play can be quite a drag, so make fun at work and multitask for pleasure and profit.

Pisces: The language of love is universal, but only if you speak it properly.

New Moon in Libra

Wow, how pretty!

Somewhere in the skies of planet Earth last night, along with the New Moon in Libra, the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) was lighting up the sky -- a phenomenon that occurs only in the higher latitudes of our world, mostly during Spring and Autumn. (Click to the link up above to learn all the scientific info about it)...I have always wanted to see the Aurora Borealis and ages ago went to Iceland to chase it in the skies, but due to foggy weather, didn't see squat. No matter, until I get that chance again, I'll always have youtube...

Highlights of the Aurora Borealis from around the world (Don't worry, I only chose ones without the cheesy musical interludes...However, the third choice was unavoidable, as the video images are amazing -- so prepare perhaps with hitting mute before hand, although it's not totally crazy cheesy, but minorly so):

Mercury in Libra

...but, what do you think?

When dealing with anything Libra, forthright action is rarely ever part of the deal. As the sign of balance, harmony and prettiness, sweating it is never part of the equation. Not to say Libra doesn't have its own brand of intensity, but it's the kind that includes civility. So, as Mercury gets hit by this power until 10/13, keep in mind it might just be more effective now to ride that middle lane because in the long run, it'll give you the energy and perhaps the positioning to get you what you ultimately need. As for tips on how to ensure that peace, love and happy thinking, here is a crash course on conflict resolution and mediation to get you by...

...To help us get a grip on wheeling and dealing for maximum rewards, for all parties involved, I have wrangled in a special guest star for today, to school us on this very interesting subject. It's my worldly and wonderful friend Brad Heckman, who just happens to be a professional mediator that has worked all over the world, and who I am so proud of -- as he just founded and is the CEO of the new non-profit New York Peace Institute, in addition to being an Adjunct Professor at NYU’s Center for Global Affairs and all round fab guy.

Anyway, take it away Brad:

Sun enters Libra

Peace be with you...

Balance, we all want it, few of us ever master it...but in the scheme of things, why freak out? Time is a continuum. Einstein thought so, Stephen Hawking too, and could such geniuses that do their research be wrong? Likely not, so lesson of the day: chill out.

Pluto goes direct in Capricorn

...and the answer is...

Fate has a funny way of working things out and this week, it'll start taking care of business in much more powerful way, as Pluto, the (dwarfed) planet of sex, death, birth and transformation goes back into forward gear!!!! 

Yes, since April 9th, Pluto has been going retrograde in Capricorn, muddling up information and making it a bit more difficult to know what and who you can trust, as the whole idea of structure came into question. However, now with Pluto moving forward again, you can expect a loosening up of the collar of sorts, as mysteries won't seem as dark and hazy...and as for the area in which you shall see an ah-ha moment, they are as follows:

Aries: Career, Dealings with authority, Your reputation
Taurus: Truth, Morals, Faith
Gemini: Power, Sex, Secrets
Cancer: Partnerships, Justice, Commitment
Leo: Daily routines, Self-improvement, Service to others
Virgo: Romance, Pride issues, Leisure
Libra: Home, Family, Business
Scorpio: Communications, Community, Dealings with siblings
Sagittarius: Your values system,  personal feelings of self-worth, comfort
Capricorn: Motivation, Self-image, Independence
Aquarius: The Past, Psychological issues, Karma
Pisces: Friendships,  Ideas in regard to your future, Hopes and dreams

Venus enters Libra

Ooooh, feels so good...

 















When any planet goes into the position where it rules, like today's Venus move into Libra, life should get dandier, at least by a small degree -- but when it's Venus, the planet of love, beauty, comfort and harmony, it means the feelings should be spectacular! 

Yes, if you've been playing your cards right and being more nice than naughty, then this is the time when the universe will be more willing to work with you, to reward you for efforts well done. Of course, if you've been less than honest, this is when justice gets served. So, as for the places you shall see a lift in spirits or a leveling of the playing field from now until October 9th, it is as follows:

Aries: partnerships, commitment, beauty
Taurus: organization, routine, work associates
Gemini: romance, creativity, fun
Cancer: home, family, security
Leo: short trips, learning, communicating
Virgo: material comforts, generosity, sensuality
Libra: confidence, leadership, ingenuity
Scorpio: dealings with the past, dreams, imagination
Sagittarius: hopes and dreams, friendships, revolution
Capricorn: status, recognition, responsibility
Aquarius: spirituality, world travel, truth
Pisces: power, sex, transformation

Full Moon in Pisces, My Natal 10th!

JACKPOT!

I love anytime Pisces is in the air -- as it hits my natal 10th (career) and my solar 5th (love)! Today, it hit it in a big way, as I debuted two new columns -- so check them out!

At über fab fashion blog, Refinery 29, I wrote lifestyle horoscopes for Fashion Week:
http://www.refinery29.com/refinery29-horoscopes-for-your

Then at Astrology.com, where I write a daily pop culture blog called Astrogossip, I debuted my astrological advice column, Sex Signs:
http://www.astrology.com/sex-signs-wanna-swing/2-d-d-381339

...and as for what a full moon in Pisces it all about in the general sense, it means celebrating an end of a cycle -- as Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and a full moon signifies a completion -- so karma, karma, karma will be the theme for everyone! This can mean waiting for it or going after it and making some... To set you in the right mood, here's the perfect theme song for the occasion -- if not lyrically, at least musically! So, dance, dance, dance it out, until you're feeling the rejuvenation...

Mercury enters Virgo

Hmm, that's interesting.

Ok, I'm totally lame. It is actually Sept. 23rd today (the second to last day of the Mercury in Virgo transit) and this post was suppose to be written for Sept. 9th -- and the thing is, I was SUPER EXCITED about this day too, but then things spiraled on and off the priority list and voila, two weeks later...

Anyway, what this post is about: my fab experience in Asbury Park, New Jersey, at one of my favorite places ever -- Paranormal Books and Curiosities, in attendance for a SEANCE!!!!

Although I've been to seances before, none were the cinematic version that I craved. My first was when I was in high school, during the summer, when I tried to host one. My friend's mom was out of town, so we threw a party, which I then held a seance for anyone who wanted in on. I had bought some trade paperback book on how to hold a seance and only read the summary in the back at that point -- so, as you can tell, it was an obvious invitation for trouble.

By the time the evening got late enough, I assembled a circle outside, under a tree and then had every one close their eyes and concentrate on calling a spirit and said whatever the directions I read said to say. Enough minutes later, nothing was happening, so I then screamed, to freak the shit out of everyone. My one really scared friend sitting across from me, then instantly jumped the entire length of the circle and then a moment later, a branch fell from the tree and we then all got freaked out, immediately ending the seance. Then the next morning, I woke up with a bloody nose. After that, I thought it was best I never hold another seance again -- at least not without really reading the entire book on it...
