Karmic Evolution’s Astrologically Speaking’s Sheri Horn Hasan December 31, 2018–January 6, 2019:

Mars, the god of war, marches into his own sign of Aries on New Year’s Eve, December 31st, & energizes the Scorpio Moon’s trine to Neptune in Pisces almost immediately following. Have fun and dance the night away, or spend it engaged in a deeply soulful, empathic reverie, but either way try not to do anything you’ll regret, because when the Capricorn Sun meets Saturn on January 1st or 2nd—depending on your time zone—you may find yourself having to account for your actions!

On January 3, Mercury in Sagittarius squares Chiron in Pisces & it pays to remember that words can wound, even if they’re said in the name of a cause…or perhaps BECAUSE they are said in the name of a cause…
However, Mercury follows this aspect shortly after with a trine to Uranus in Aries, which tells us a better way to heal our karmic wounds now may be by viewing them from an alternative perspective, rather than simply from the same old viewpoint…


Charity & compassion prevail on January 4 when the Capricorn Sun sextiles Neptune, but Mercury’s entrance into Capricorn that day lends more gravitas to our communication and paves the way for extreme Capricorn energy at the Capricorn New Moon & total solar eclipse on January 5.


That’s because, just after Venus in Scorpio trines Chiron & applies some soothing balm to any of our wounds, the Capricorn New Moon & total solar eclipse occur right in the middle of transiting Saturn & Pluto at 15 degrees 25 minutes (5:28 p.m. PT, 8:28 p.m. ET!)


This Capricorn New Moon sets the tone for a more solemn 2019 as the two luminaries–plus Mercury, Saturn, & Pluto–all congregate as they move toward the Capricorn South Node now. Also, Uranus in Aries squares the transiting karmic nodal axis, & Venus quincunxes Uranus, which means more surprises are likely in the beginning of the new year, particularly around the collective and its changing set of values…


This is particularly true because this total solar eclipse lunation can act like a sudden jump start to a car battery, meaning we must always expect the unexpected! Look for where 15-16 degrees Capricorn lands in your natal chart to determine the area of life where new information may shine through as the Sun’s own light is “eclipsed” now.


Further define the meaning of this eclipse by observing which, if any, planets, angles, or house cusps aspect the Capricorn New Moon/total solar eclipse within three degrees.


A grand water trine between Venus, Chiron, & the Cancer North Node softens all this Cap energy some, as does the Moon & Sun’s sextile to Neptune, & Jupiter in Sagittarius’s square to Neptune.


Sun sextile Neptune provides opportunities for us to realize & ground emotional, charitable, & spiritual energy through the process of visualization; while Jupiter square Neptune cautions us that ungrounded flights of fantasy rarely become manifest reality.


The grand water trine lightens all this earthy, traditional, empirical, rational Capricorn energy by juxtaposing it against tender, sensitive, nurturing, empathic, & deeply-felt emotions, & asking us to find healthy ways to integrate all this earth and water…


Finally, the great change-maker Uranus stations direct in Aries on January 6, a direction he’ll continue as he plans to re-enter the sign of Taurus March 6 for the next six years. This will further strengthen and emphasize the need for value shifts as time goes by…


https://karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking/ Join me Thursday, January 3, @ 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET, to explore this current Capricorn New Moon/total solar eclipse energy, & to take a look at the major astrological influences on tap for 2019! See you then!


(Also, don’t forget—if you can’t catch the show live, there’s always the replay Sundays at 4 p.m. or 7 p.m., respectively, OR you can access the archived recording at the same link above anytime!)

Sheri Horn Hasan, December 10-16:

Chiron stationed direct in 27-degrees 54-minutes of Pisces this past weekend (December 8/9), beginning his forward motion again toward greater healing.

This retrograde period—which began July 4 at 2-degrees 25-minutes Aries–asked us to revisit going deep about any emotional wounds sustained—in this lifetime or past ones—because of our own porous emotional & psychic energetic boundaries.

In other words, how much of where we feel wounded is due to our inability to block out (& thereby protect ourselves from) the energies of other individuals and/or the collective? You know, that inner part of ourselves threatened or wounded by outside forces when they take insensitive or hurtful actions toward, or speak unkind words about, us…

The question you might ask at this station direct, and before the wounded healer reenters Aries on February 18, 2019, is: Are you still looking to protect your internal emotional security by building an emotional wall around yourself?

In other words, have you allowed weak, easily penetrated emotional boundaries to result in wounds so deep that the only solution seems to be to erect strong external boundaries?

Or has your consciousness grown–during Chiron in Pisces’ retrograde since July 4—to better understand that it’s your spiritually & emotionally sensitive INTERNAL boundaries that need strengthening, not your physical, concrete, ego-oriented external ones?

Without this understanding…

All In All You’re Just Another Brick In The Wall…

As the holidays are upon us, Chiron’s forward motion advises us to go deep now by asking how we may all bridge the gulf between our internal wounds & the role of the outside world in creating &/or re-triggering them:

  • What progress have you made toward healing your own deep wounds by looking inward since July 4?
  • How can you protect yourself emotionally & still build bridges not walls?
  • What prevents you now from strengthening your emotional core in order to take down some of your emotional walls & let others in?

As the energy of the December 7 Sagittarius New Moon continues to wax for the next week & a half, its optimistic tone sets the backdrop for incorporating this kind of healing into the new you! From now until the Sun enters serious Capricorn December 21, & December 22’s Cancer Full Moon, use the adventurous, less fearful, fiery energy of the Sagittarius Sun to guide you toward this integrative Chironic healing…

Meanwhile…

Mercury in Scorpio makes a minor frictional quincunx aspect to retrograde Uranus in Aries on December 11, so watch out for sudden, hurtful, or frustratingly dis-empowering communication, and shoulder on until Mercury enters more lighthearted Sagittarius on December 12. After that, try to say what you mean and mean what you say, and be wary of overly exaggerated communication, be it yours or another’s.

The Pisces Moon makes its waxing first-quarter square to the Sagittarius Sun December 15 which can provoke some tensions as our hearts and minds may feel out of alignment, but Venus in Scorpio’s sextile to Saturn in Capricorn on the 16th provides the opportunity to better ground ourselves in reality.

Later that night, Mars in Pisces sextiles Pluto in Capricorn, further empowering us to more easily evolve on our journey toward greater consciousness…

Join me Thursday, December 13, @ 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET, with my guest professional astrologer Linda Furiate who’ll discuss how to best handle sensitivity to others’ emotions in order to avoid depression or other addictive behaviors during this holiday period!

See you then, namaste!

Sheri Horn Hasan, December 3-9:

Some soul-soothing words or other healing communications are possible when Mercury retrograde in Scorpio exact trines wounded healer Chiron–retrograde in Pisces–late December 3 or early on the 4th, depending on your time zone.

When the Sagittarius Sun squares Neptune in Pisces on December 5, we may put some effort into promoting romance & creativity or, alternatively, we may find we dream the day away. No harm done—especially since our imaginings may someday come to fruition–but watch out that your fantasies don’t obscure hard-core reality.

Mercury stations direct on December 6, ending the messenger god’s three-week backtrack through the heavens, meaning communication will once again begin to flow. This may happen slowly, so be patient; however, we may now begin to shift back to implementing our inspirations, rather than simply reviewing & revising them—at least until the next Mercury retrograde period begins on March 5, 2019.

The Sagittarius New Moon continues this forward positive motion when the Sun & Moon unite later that night (or early December 7) to provide us the opportunity to plant seeds that may ripen from mere high hopes into manifested reality. Look for this planting to come to fruition by the next Sagittarius Full Moon at July 17, 2019…

If you’ve used this current Mercury retrograde cycle to make sure there’s a solid plan behind your grand visions, then there’s no reason to assume your dreams won’t ultimately come true!

One caution, however–when Mars exact conjoins Neptune in Pisces a few hours after the Sadge New Moon—beware over-optimism or idealism, self-deceit, and/or escapist tendencies. As always, remember this advice: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t true. Use this time instead to creatively visualize your end-goal so that you can ultimately make it happen!

Healing continues as Chiron stations direct in Pisces late on December 8 or early on the 9th, depending on your location. The wounded healer’s on a mission to finish up its past eight-year mission of helping us develop stronger internal emotional & spiritual boundaries so that we have the courage now to express ourselves honestly—physically, mentally, emotionally, AND spiritually–going forward…

https://karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking/ Join me on Thursday, December 6, @ 11 a.m. P & 2 p.m. E, with guest professional astrologer Michael Bartlett as we discuss the importance of transiting Jupiter in Sagittarius for the next the next year, its natal placement in your chart, and more!

See you then, namaste!

Astro New You Can Use October 29!

Posted by Sheri Horn Hasan - October 29, 2018 - Blog post

ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE from Karmic Evolution’s Astrologically Speaking’s Sheri Horn Hasan, October 29:

Communication shifts from Mercury in Scorpio’s dark, secretive intensity to a more fiery outspoken tone when Mercury enters Sagittarius late on October 30 or early the 31st, depending on your time zone. This shift can result in less than diplomatic outbursts because Sadge favors truth over diplomacy! Watch out for this fiery rhetoric as we get closer to the U.S. midterm elections November 6…
 
Mercury in Sadge can be impatient–he’s known to blurt things out spontaneously without thought for the repercussions—AND he tends to exaggerate, favoring the big picture over the details. It would be an understatement to say that this next week will be filled with a number of “hoof in mouth” statements that may or may not be borne out by the actual factual truth…
 
Regardless, however, while Mercury’s in Sadge until December 1 when he retrogrades back to Scorpio (he’ll station retrograde in Sadge November 16), and again from December 12 until he enters Capricorn on January 4, it’s the perfect time to take up your pen.
 
Why?
 
Because—despite its previously mentioned shortcomings–Mercury in Sagittarius creates excellent raconteurs & writers! Record your revelations about that which you’ve grown in consciousness on paper or otherwise…you may or may not decide to share them, that’s not the relevant part, as writing often helps us clarify issues for ourselves first before we impart anything about such issues to others…
 
When Venus retrograde in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus once again early on October 31 we may experience some surprises leading up to Halloween. However, the goddess of beauty & love moves back into Libra–the sign of diplomatic partnerships–later that day & until December 1.
 
This Venus retrograde shift in sign provides the opportunity to remember past relationships & to make peace with/about them from the vantage point of having gained greater consciousness between now and then.
 
It’s a good time to discover more about our true motives in both past and present relationships. Where may we have compromised for the sake of peace & thus become dis-empowered? How might caring more about our partner than for ourselves have affected our relationships ultimately?
 
Likewise, where might indecisiveness have led to allowing others to take control during these relationships & make ALL of the decisions? Has that served us well or might we want to review this now and think about changing our perspective moving forward, especially once Venus retrograde ends on November 16.
 
Between now and December 1, however, while she’s in Libra, the Libra portion of the Venus retrograde journey will focus specifically on how we can work to be our own best e, epartner first to ensure healthier partnerships for our future…
 
Jupiter in Scorpio trines wounded healer Chiron November 1, & we may receive additional enlightenment about how we might review past wounds through expansion in consciousness about them. For example, perhaps we were more complicit in our own wounding than we previously acknowledged, as per that mentioned above? Just some food for thought now…
 
Venus retrograde in Libra follows with her own trine to Chiron November 3. Release old wounds through your greater consciousness now about them & find the love in your heart to view yourself with compassion.
 
Join me Thursday, November 1, @11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET, when financial astrologer Mitchell Lewis talks about next Tuesday’s Nov. 6 U.S. mid-term elections!
 
Mitch knows his stuff—he predicted the 2008 economic downturn more than a year in advance–& he’ll give us his take on how Uranus retrograde re-entering Aries that day and Nov. 7’s Scorpio New Moon may affect the outcome!
 
This is one show you won’t want to miss! https://karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking/ See you Thursday! Namaste…

Aries Full Moon September 24

Posted by Sheri Horn Hasan - September 24, 2018 - Blog post

We’re Not Gonna Take It (Anymore)

This Aries Full Moon, occurring at 2-degrees Aries/Libra–@ 7:52 p.m. PT & 10:52 p.m. ET–sets up a confrontation between clearly male & female archetypal energies, and between our rational ego-dominated beliefs and perceptions & those that hail from a more intuitive lunar landscape.

Every month a different full Moon sets up an archetypal confrontation between two polar opposites, and between the rational, objective ego (read: Sun) & intuitive, subjective unconscious (read: Moon) realms of our psyches.

This serves the purpose of providing us the opportunity to make conscious our unconsciously-driven (or subconscious) emotions, habits, and deeply-rooted needs for security. The need to release our ego’s attachment to the empirical factual world only, & its reluctance to acknowledge the importance of intangible feelings & intuitions, is what’s highlighted at every full Moon lunation.

Why is this so?

Because when we can release our ego’s stubborn reliance on the empirical world by entertaining the notion that emotions are not necessarily antithetical to objective rational reasoning, we may begin then to integrate any given set of opposite archetypal energies.

In general, the Libra Sun is an archetypal energy that doesn’t feel whole without a partner, and identifies itself as relationship-oriented. Libras are kind, artistic, considerate—they are after all Venus-ruled!

Archetypally, Libra energy applies its principles of fairness, balance, justice, & harmony to relationships, which is why this archetype is so very good at mediation & striking compromises.

The down side of Libra energy, however, lies with the fact that so good is one at seeing, hearing, & understanding both sides of an argument, the result can be confusion about how one really feels.   

   This can virtually paralyze those who carry Libra energy to any great degree, as they become hampered by their indecisiveness & truly unsure about how they feel about any particular subject.

   Such indecisiveness earns Libra the reputation of “fence sitter.”

Further, so skilled is Libra at brokering a compromise, the person forging the compromise doesn’t always realize whether or not the end result of that negotiation will prove long lasting. In other words, will the truce negotiated truly satisfy them forever?

The bottom line here is that Libra prefers to avoid confrontation at all costs and would rather give in or compromise than fight.

This sets up a situation that results often in passive-aggressive behavior by this Libran archetypal energy. In other words, compromising too much for the sake of a harmonious relationship may make us angrier in the long run.

And so any given compromise may come back to haunt us—and often does–sometimes in the not so distant future…

The question ultimately becomes: Where does the Libra archetype draw the line? When does she find that compromise is no longer the answer because she feels too strongly about an issue to sacrifice her dignity, pride—perhaps even her entire identity—as she’s too greatly threatened to compromise away her rights?

In short, when does Libra decide she has no choice but to fight?

We’ve Got The Right To Choose, No Way We’ll Lose It!

The Moon in Mars-ruled Aries is a fighter. This archetypal energy can run the gamut from the violent warrior–in the fight purely to satisfy his blood lust nature–to the higher-minded understanding that one can (& should) fight for those who are too weak to defend & protect themselves.

The Moon signifies our emotions, our inner child, & our intuition. It’s the repository of our past & dwells in the realm memories, habits, & the less conscious behaviors we exhibit throughout our lives. Thus, the Moon depicts female anima energy that uses the intuitive process to alert us to what we need to feel truly secure.

The Moon in Aries seeks to move and express itself freely, be that mentally, physically, emotionally, &/or spiritually.

Aries is an instinctual, naturally proactive energy which manifests often inathletes, soldiers, adventurers, and entrepreneurs, or those who forge ahead independently in any given industry or area of life.

When that freedom is thwarted, regardless of the reason why, this lunar energy can become frustrated or angry.

Aries Moon energy wants action & wants it now! This is soothing to the Aries archetype: witness anyone you know with Aries energy (or a fire Moon for that matter) who needs to run, exercise, scream & yell, or take some kind of outward action when frustrated or angry.

How we manifest our frustration &/or anger in the concrete physical world of our current incarnation is up to each of us. Mars, known to be impatient, impetuous, fast-moving (as in acting before thinking), motivated, & assertive, can also be aggressive, angry, & potentially violent when feeling thwarted. This is the  sign of male sexuality.

At this Aries Full Moon, this more subjective emotional Aries Moon—prone to movement & freedom of expression as part of its need for security–pits herself against a cooler, rationally objective Sun, which believes compromise is the only way to end a dispute. 

We’ll Fight The Powers That Be, Just Don’t Pick Our Destiny

One can almost feel the palpably rising tension & anger in the air as we wax toward this Aries Full Moon. And that tension becomes ever more heightened when we realize this lunation forms a cardinal T-square to Saturn.

And Saturn’s in Capricorn, meaning he’s part of the establishment. He believes that rules, boundaries, & barriers form the safest and most structurally sound foundation in life. When crossed, he can be rigidly inflexible, punitive, and adamant in his belief that carrying on old traditions is the best–& only–way forward.

In short, the Saturnine archetype—including as the ruler of Capricorn—often translates into fear of change…

What becomes extremely clear at this Aries Full Moon is that the battle between our need to be free to express ourselves vs. our need for peace born of compromise can fill us with insecurity about in which direction we may “safely” push the envelope.

Do we side with the Aries Moon, which meets up with Hygeia (the female asteroid signifying health) & wounded healer Chiron, the dwarf planet representing karmic wounds, including those from both past lives and this lifetime?

Or do we place our bets on the Libra Sun, Mercury, & Ceres, & simply hope that another mediated agreement will keep everything copacetic—for now? 

The implications of an either/or scenario become more fraught when we realize that the presence of Ceres, known in Greek mythology as Demeter, can gives rise to a “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” kind of energy…

Demeter is the mother of Persephone, who’s infamously kidnapped, raped, & taken to the underworld by Pluto/Hades, the ruler of this territory, to become its eventual queen.

However, prior to Persephone’s terms of release (6 months in Hades, 6 months above ground with her mother), Ceres’ grief and wrath at her daughter’s sudden shocking disappearance continues unabated as she begs the gods to release her daughter.

When they refuse—mostly by throwing up their hands and saying “what can we do?”– Ceres storms the earth, unable to contain her rage & grief at what she deems to be an unnaturally forced separation of mother & daughter.    

   Thus, as she allies with the Libra Sun & Mercury now, opposite to the Aries Moon/Hygeia/Chiron, she seems to be saying “I’m mad as hell & not particularly interested in the establishment’s inability to act right now!”

Crimes Against Nature…

It’s this deeply-rooted karmic anger and grief that the Aries Full Moon asks us now to act upon in order to ultimately release it. She asks us as well to let go of our rational objective animus-oriented reliance on the past as protocol for the future, implying that action is necessary for positive growth & movement forward, and reminding us that progress is not made by standing still…

We realize that revolutionary Uranus—square the transiting karmic Nodes of the collective at this Aries Full Moon—demands change as well. Retrograde, but still in Taurus, Uranus calls us to find new, innovative, & outside-the-box solutions to old dilemmas, particularly as they relate to any old, outdated, or outworn value systems.

Mars on the Aquarius South Node square Uranus says much the same thing, and calls to us to release that which keeps us stuck in a past that refuses to accept change as a natural law of physics.

In recognizing the undeniable winds of karmic change blowing now, we may ask ourselves:

  •  Do we want to go forward or remain forever stuck in our old ways?
  • How can we affect change if we don’t even try?
  • What are our revelations at this time about how we can intuit outside-the-box revolutionary solutions to old problems?

We must remember that stasis is unacceptable, as change is part of the law of natural cycles. Likewise, these cyclical attributes of nature demand to be respected. Anything less will be considered a denigration of anima-related holistic, healing, time-honored intuition, and considered a crime against nature…

Finally, it pays to remember that “hope” was the last thing to fly out of Pandora’s box of evils once opened & sent out among humankind.

We may see some salvation out of this seeming impasse through the positive flowing aspects of the Aries Moon & Libra Sun to the Aquarius South Node/Mars & Leo North Node now.

Any actions taken (read: release) as a result of this lunation can’t fail to move us in the right karmic direction—both personally & collectively.

Let’s just try to remember that killing the messenger—ultimately—won’t do any good for our future prospects of living in peace & harmony. If we can release our karmic wounds so that healing may begin we’ll be able to move into a more positive, less combative, more harmonious future…

…one that doesn’t require so much compromise that the same issues simply continue to arise again and again and again…

It seems most appropriate at this Aries Full Moon to post both the lyrics & video
of Helen Reddy 
singing at the Million Women March in Los Angeles in early 2017:

I Am Woman


Helen Reddy

“I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back and pretend

‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever going to keep me down again

Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained

If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
‘Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I’ll come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
‘Cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul

Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained

If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

I am woman, watch me grow
See me standing toe-to-toe
As I spread my loving arms across the land
But I’m still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained

If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman…”

As we wax into the exact Aries Full Moon tonight, September 24, at 7:52 p.m. PT & 10:52 p.m. ET, we cannot fail to see the issues of male & female, the patriarchy vs. the matriarchy, animus/anima playing out in the collective!

Pay attention to how this applies to your own life!

• Where have you comprised too much for the sake of partnership & “peace?” 
• Where do you need to stand up and fight for yourself now?

This Aries Full Moon highlights past traumas—particularly as they relate to the issue of sexuality & disempowerment or forced silence (be this self-imposed or otherwise) as it conjoins wounded healer Chiron and opposes both the Libra Sun & Mercury.

• What’s the message you’ve been afraid to reveal & where have you been disadvantaged by your silence thus far in life? 
• How can you speak out about past wounds without fear that others may seek to kill the messenger!

Remember your message is valid regardless of any response to that message!

The Aries Full Moon’s square to Saturn advises us this may require a great deal of courage, and we may have to stand alone—at first…

Try to refrain from victim behavior as Chiron retrograde reenters the sign of Pisces on the 25th, & know that the Libra Sun trines Mars on Sept. 28, which should make it easier for us all to speak out & to maintain the kind of fair & just balance Libra desires.

When Pluto stations direct on September 30, its sets us up for greater empowerment, regardless of how disempowered we may have felt in the past, especially around Plutonian themes that may have remained hidden (sexual harassment/abuse, blackmail, betrayal, manipulation, etc.)—until now…

Join me Thursday, September 27, @ 11 a.m. P & 2 p.m. E, when we look at the upcoming October 5 Venus station retrograde in Scorpio with Julija Simas, professional astrologer & head of the Cosmic Intelligence Association (C.I.A.!) https://karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking/

See you then, namaste…

Aries New Moon, Mercury Direct, Chiron Into Aries!

Posted by Sheri Horn Hasan - April 19, 2018 - Blog post

Shoot For (Not At) The Moon

   This Aries New Moon may have a shock or two in store for us–of the “change or be changed!” kind–when the two luminaries in this proactive fire sign collide with Uranus, the symbol of unexpected events, also in Aries.

   There’s an awful lot of cardinal energy at this Aries New Moon, what with not

only the Moon, Sun, Uranus, & Mercury in Aries, but Saturn, Mars, & Pluto in Capricorn, too.

   Cardinal energy is initiative and Aries energy impatient.

   The Moon will meet the Sun at 27 degrees & 2 minutes of Aries @6:57 pm PT

& 9:57 ET on April 15 & go on to conjoin with Uranus about four hours later. To say this energy holds the potential to be explosive would be an understatement!

   This Aries New Moon brings the two luminaries & Uranus together into the energy force field of the proactive & action-oriented warrior, athlete, or otherwise motivated individual. It’s meet up with Uranus indicates we may be impatient because on some level—conscious or unconscious–we know that we are ripe for some kind of change.

   At March 31’s Libra Full Moon I suggested we all think about the following:

How can we find greater balance between going it alone & getting our own needs met?

   Whatever answers you came up with at the time are part of what will hit home for you at this Aries New Moon. Whatever decisions you procrastinated making–or perhaps made too hastily–may come back to you now through some sort of change, particularly in the realm of partnerships.

   Whenever Uranus is involved, we astrologers also know that the longer we’ve spent resisting change, the more sudden and surprising that change is likely to be. Some the questions you might want to ask yourself now include:

  •  Where have I been feeling frustrated, depressed, or dissatisfied with my life?
  • How has this made me feel: angry, frightened, impatient, sad, or in some other way unhappy?
  •  How do I process fear around the thought of change, and actual changitself? Do I resist it, welcome it, or something in between?

    Over The Moon…

   So, remember I mentioned that Saturn, Mars, & Pluto are in Capricorn at this Aries New Moon? Well, not only that, but during the hours leading up to the Aries New Moon the Moon will square Saturn, then Mars, and then Pluto.

   These past few days may have seemed up and down for some of us, and turbulence the name of the game. For those who pay attention to the national & international scene, U.S. President Trump last week said he wanted to pull U.S. troops out of Syria soon.

   He then announced on Wednesday that he’d rain down missiles on Syria in retaliation for the gassing of its own citizens earlier this week. On Thursday he said he might OR he might not. Friday evening he launched the threatened missile strike, joined by French & British allies.

  What’s THIS got to do with your life?

   As I’ve noted before, it’s important for those of us attempting to grow in consciousness not to separate the outer world from the inner, but rather to integrate these two energies so that our inner self is in greater attunement with the world around us. If we create our own reality, then we must first define what that “reality” is, right?

   So, we can use outer events—even those that may not happen TO us directly, yet still affect us in one way or another—to better understand how the collective’s energy has manifested externally.

   In this case, as we’re approaching the exact joining of the Aries Sun to the planet Uranus on April 18–and it’s as this energy grows in strength that we’ll be experiencing the Aries New Moon on the 15th–we can tell what’s going on internally by recognizing how these energies manifest externally.

   We can see how the past week or so has been filled with ups and downs, twists & turns, one step forward one step back type energy. And those who are metaphysically-minded also know that “as above, so below, as within so without, as the universe, so the soul…”

   This Aries new Moon is a force to be reckoned with because it’s as if once the train has started down the track, it’s hard to stop it. Its forward motion is exacerbated by its pending meet up with Uranus because the combination of Mars (ruler of this Aries New Moon) & Uranus is like a speeding train (or missile) with no brake…

Evolution Vs. Revolution

   Pluto in Capricorn has been about the long-term evolutionary trajectory of changing the way we do “business as usual.” Saturn in this sign of ambition & success tells us “slow & steady wins the race,” while Mars in Capricorn is like the general leading the army with deliberation, & planned & well thought out strategies designed to “win.”

   While Mars continues to wax into an exact meet up with Pluto in Capricorn onApril 26, it pays to bear in mind that–although Capricorn energy is cautious,

slow, & steady—Mars/Pluto energy is extremely powerful, and not to be underestimated in its potential for explosiveness…   So, while this Aries New Moon challenges us to find new and innovative ways to allow change to happen–but through a measure of controlled action—it pays for us to be aware that Mars will increasingly push his call for action onto evolutionary-minded Pluto!

   So, the message becomes both dichotomousand clear: change is coming, but how we decide to handle that change is up to each of us individually. If the spark that ignites change propels an unstoppable juggernaut into action, we might want to be sure it’s heading in the right evolutionary direction.

   Therefore, how we all handle any resistance to change through clinging to old ways: mindsets, beliefs, loyalties, security (including to the material world) is key at this Aries New Moon.

   If we’re blindsided now, all the more reason to let go; but only to the point where you can hang on loosely! Steering will become important as you go, so keep this mind: sudden actions, be they fortuitous or grievous, can still be handled, and handled well. The key is not to panic or to lose one’s head altogether…

Material Re-E-Value-Ation

   Also at this Aries New Moon, Venus in Taurus opposes Jupiter retrograde in Scorpio. This tells us that our values are up for E-VALUATION, and as we pursue our evolutionary course, hopefully consciously, we may also contemplate where or how our values may be out of sync with our true soul’s needs.

   Huh?

   This means we can all ask ourselves the question now: Is what we think wewant really what our soul truly needs?

   This is always the case with frictional Venus/Jupiter aspects. Jupiter expands, Venus wants what makes her feel good. Both are well-advised to stop and ask whether it’s quantity that will bring true happiness, or quality… 

   Venus trines Pluto now, too, and from Taurus to Capricorn can be a grounding influence. Just as the slowly building Capricorn Mars/Pluto energy will eventually counterbalance the quickness of Uranus at this Aries Full Moon & beyond, so may this trine temper it as well.

   Remember, however, that Mars/Pluto is about evolutionary change while the more fleeting Venus/Jupiter energy is about our true values. And Venus, of course, is also about relationships…

   As the Aries New Moon takes up where the March 31 Libra Full Moon left off, it also pays for us to ask whether we find more success in going it alone or together. And, either way, what is our evolutionary end-goal?

Mercury Direct–Wiser Through The Ages!

   Mercury stations direct early morning April 15, about 16 hours before the Aries New Moon exacts, and this coming week communication should slowly begin to return to normal.

   Wait, watch, & listen for it—your phone will ring, your email will ping, your texts will chime, and letters appear in your mailbox…it’s almost like all will return to normal.

   As you begin to wind your way back into the flow of all things communicative, remember this: you’ve just spent 21 days during which your left brain has been suspended, and your right brain reigned supreme.

   This is primarily why so many astrologers caution against signing contracts, buying high ticket items, etc.—for fear that our normally logical, empirically-oriented brains will miss the details, the small print, the bottom line.

   And often this is true, but let’s remember also that this has been a period during which our psyches have brought up from our subconscious into consciousness important messages from our soul’s higher self. Likewise, objectively learned information was transferred down into the unconscious to become embedded there as true wisdom.

   And it’s this wisdom that will be carried with your soul into future lifetimes, just as the wisdom from prior lifetimes was embedded in your psyche to make you as wise as you are today! (Don’t snicker—regardless of any mistakes you feel you’ve made since birth in this incarnation, your soul has to have learned a thing or two from past life karma!)

Saturn Retrogrades & Chiron Into Aries April 17

   This coming week will see Saturn station retrograde, Chiron move into Aries– both on April 17–and on April the Sun moves into harmonizing Taurus.

   The keyword for Taurus archetypal energy is “serenity,” and hopefully this is what we we’ll all strive for during the next month.

   Saturn’s retrograde period—which lasts until September 6—is a one during which if anyone or anything leaves our life it means they were not instrumental to our future growth…in consciousness…

   Any departure now—of a person, a job, a material possession—means you have no use for them or it in the future, and the astrological advice is to let it go…often this is one of the hardest lesson to learn…

   Yes, it’s true that Saturn can bring tears, sadness, isolation, lonliness, &depression, but please, please, pleaseremember that his mission is ultimately a positive one: to help us all understand that we can make it on our own!

   This is to say we don’t need anyone or anything—contrary to what our feelings may tell us—to survive. And, as time passes, not only does a departure create space for a new arrival, but being able to stand on our own means we get to choose who and what we want in our lives rather than simply having to accept what we get!

   How glorious to know that if the world were to disappear right in front of our very eyes, we’ve got what it takes to survive because we are our own best friend, nurturer, and authority!

   Saturn always says “the buck stops here,” and his purpose is to mature us ot the point where we can sustain any setbacks and not only survive, but thrive, because we always know we have ourselves to depend on and trust.

   And that’s a good thing…

   Chiron’s another story, as he moves from the watery Piscean domain he’s inhabited for the past eight years into fiery independent proactive Aries energy on April 17 until June 19, 2026. (He will retrograde back into Pisces twice during this period, but more on that anon…)

   Chiron’s move into Aries tells us all the time is ripe to begin (or continue) to heal wounds around any inability to express our personal will, be it on a mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual level.

   So plant new seeds now at this Aries New Moon that state your intentions: if you’ve been too dependent on others for your own happiness, use this time to nurture & grow self-confidence & self-love.

   If you’ve been too independent, & in being this way denied your own need for nurturing, take this Aries New Moon opportunity to institute into your life some self-care and perhaps explore where you might unburden yourself through the help of another or others.

   Let’s face it, most of us did not come here to be alone. But neither did most of us come here to remain co-dependent our whole lives. Use the enegies of this potentially explosive change-oriented Aries New Moon to recognize in what area of life change is necessary, roll with it, but then seize the tiller & navigate your way toward your desired evolutionary future!

Here’s a song that I think perfectly fits this Aries New Moon energy:
Bob Dylan’s revolutionary ode, covered by Tracy Chapman

The Times They Are A’Changin’

Tracy Chapman

“Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown

And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again

And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be who has stalled

The battle outside ragin’
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand

Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast

As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin’
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’…” 
~ Bob Dylan

Virgo Full Moon March 1

Posted by Sheri Horn Hasan - March 1, 2018 - Blog post

The Fault In Our Stars?

   If you’ve been feeling like you’re drowning lately, take heart! With all the Piscean energy in the sky recently, it’s no wonder that any of us feel we simply can’t muster up either the energy or the consciousness to move ahead with purpose…

   However, this Virgo Full Moon comes along to remind us that we can CHOOSE to believe several things:

  • From chaos comes clarity
  • Surrender doesn’t mean giving up 
  • The role we play doesn’t have to be forever

   This Virgo Full Moon opposes not only the Sun, but also Neptune, & by polarity Mercury, Venus, and wounded healer Chiron in Pisces, the sign of the fishes.These polar opposite signs involving the two luminaries–the Sun (ego) and the Moon (heart)–alert us to the fact that dreaming and fantasizing are fine, as long as we don’t lose ourselves in that realm forever…

   Neptune-ruled Pisces is represented by two fish yoked together and attempting to swim in different directions: one back toward source energy; the other out in the world into this thing we call life…

   An inherent dichotomy arises when we’re unsure of in which direction to place our energy. Do we heed the siren’s call to swim back into the protective womb, where life is easy and all our needs are miraculously automatically met? Or do we venture bravely out into the scary unknown that we call life?

   The potential for confusion is easily understandable, no? Regardless, the answer, as always, lies with the integration of these two archetypal energies.

   This Virgo Full Moon reminds us that swimming “home,” back to whence from which we came, has its dangers. It keeps us dependent, infantile, and addicted to the blissful not-knowing-ness of the womb where when hungry we were fed, when tired we slept, and we didn’t have to be responsible for any damn thing!

   It’s for this reason Pisces archetypal energy can manifest in intangible or the blurriest of ways. Often, it’s behind any confusion, illusion, or delusion we may experience that drives us to drink, drug, sleep, eat, or in any other way “check out” of our painful mundane reality via such self-soothing “remedies.”

   However, this Virgo Full Moon tells us there’s another way! It infuses a dose of reality into our world.

   How?

   The Virgo archetype is about discernment—the kind that reminds us the devilis in the details, and that the overall forest is comprised of individual trees.

Recently, we may have felt like we’re looking at an impressionist painting up close, where individual brush strokes seem disconnected from the whole, and therefore make no sense.

   But, wait! Take a step back, and another, and another, and if you do, slowly it can all come into focus at this Virgo Full Moon—and you’ll be able to see t hemarvelous Renoir water scene, beautiful Cezanne landscape, or colorfully busy Seurat picnic in the park!

   What’s required here is FOCUS in order to become cognizant of both sides of these polar opposite archetypal energies. And where we choose to put our focus is up to us. In other words, it’s always a matter of choice…

   For example, we can choose to remain stuck in the Piscean realm where we feel like we’re drowning & helpless, find fault in our stars–or we can focus our energy on the knowledge that this is simply one energetic end of a wide-ranging spectrum.

Give It Up…

   All of this Piscean energy opposite the Virgo Full Moon asks us to lift our heads up and look around. It signals that, while we may experience confusion, despair, fatigue, and/or depression, that maybe, just maybe, we can have our cake and eat it too…

   …but there’s a price, and that comes in the form of deciding what we must give up…since deciding what needs to go can be a difficult question to answer, let me break it down at bit:

   First and foremost, this Virgo Full Moon reminds us that playing either the victim or the martyr won’t work. And that’s mostly because both of these roles involve too much, er, EGO…

   When Pisces energy is involved, a victim’s ego can be wrapped up with her myopia; her inability to see the forest from the trees, to not be able to make out the impressionist painting’s overall scene. Thus, her pain becomes most important–her feelings of abandonment, righteous indignation or rage, grief, depression, etc.–take precedence over everything else.

   Am I victim-bashing here? No, I’m merely pointing out that one can don the clothing of “victim” and mire oneself in despair to the point where one feels hopeless. It’s then we may cease to take matters into our own hands, and instead choose to blame another or others for injustices done to us.

“Take your life in your own hands, and what happens?
A terrible thing: no one to blame.” ~ Erica Jong

So, what do we do when we feel everything slipping away? Maybe it’s our significant other, family, job, children, finances…or maybe it’s bigger even than that, like someone’s death. Maybe it feels like loss, grief, anger, or confusion around our goals, plans, hopes, wishes, & dreams…

The Virgo Full Moon reminds us that its energy can add earthy stability through healthy daily—or regular–rituals that fit into your regular routine, such as focusing on adding into our busy schedules:

  • A Gratitude list
  • Meditation
  • Healthy diet
  • Regular exercise
  • Spiritual/psychic protection
  • Creative outlet, no matter what that might be

Concentrating on adding even one of these things to your daily “to do” list will go a long way toward reducing the escapist tendencies often felt by those who carry a heavy dose of the Neptunian/Pisces archetype. 

 This goes for everyone, however, as the tendency for any one of us to feel surrounded by chaotic river, lakes, or oceans to which we must surrender ourselves and simply go with the flow is strong…

 When we feel this way, we must indeed go with the flow, but not surrender to feelings of helplessness. Rather, we can harness the ongoing chaotic swirl of life not by making logical sense of it, but rather by honoring it.

The ancients believed that gods demand sacrifices. Perhaps that’s a strong word, one that makes us think we have to give something up in order to survive.

The truth is that what we’re asked to “sacrifice” at this Virgo Full Moon—remember, full Moons are always times of release!—is any victim or martyr tendencies.

  Take Heart!

Venus’ trine to Jupiter at this Virgo Full Moon signifies we can expand our consciousness around what it is we truly value now.

Jupiter always asks us to be conscious, while Venus seeks to find out what it is our soul truly values. So, we can interpret this aspect falling at the Virgo Full Moon as on that can help us decide on what we place more value: staying helplessly stuck in the kind of hopeless ennui we may feel now—or moving forward through Virgo energy to take some sort of action, even if it’s simply mental.

Even letting go, or surrendering a thought–giving it up go God, as they say in Alcoholics Anonymous–can make space for something newer to come in–something more empowering, less self-critical, and more attuned to listening to your real inner voice, not the negative one you’ve internalized from external critical voices.

Mars’ square to Mercury, Venus, & Chiron now also tells us that it’s less beneficial for us to beat up ourselves (or others), especially through the way we think or communicate, and to stop and figure out what we’re really annoyed with, or what’s really hurt us.

Chances are if we go deep and heed Erica Jong’s advice, we’ll figure out it’s actually not someone else, but rather ourselves with whom we’re annoyed.

So use that Venus/Jupiter trine to expand your consciousness and the Virgo Full Moon to release all that does not serve as you move forward more consciously in this lifetime…

And honor spiritual self when the Sun conjoins with Neptune on March 4…your dreams can come true, but you’ve got to put your will behind them in order to make them happen…

The Virgo Full Moon says release confusion, doubt, insecurity, and reliance upon any inner voices that tell you you’re no good, not worth it, untalented, lack imagination, or are simply unworthy.

 This Virgo Full Moon is perfect for Kesha’s song/video “Praying,” which depicts her at the beginning lying on a cross-like structure giving voice to the stereotypical Piscean dilemma: what IS the purpose & reason of life if living includes suffering? It follows to a Piscean conclusion that “being alive hurts too much.” But, as Kesha sings, there’s another way that involves CHOICE:

“Am I dead? Or is this one of those dreams?Those horrible dreams that seem like they last forever?
If I am  alive, why? Why? If there is a God or whatever, something, somewhere, why have I been abandoned by everyone and everything I’ve ever known? I’ve ever loved? Stranded. What is the lesson? What is the point? God, give me a sign, or I have to give up. I can’t do this anymore.
Please just let me die. Being alive hurts too much.”

Praying

     
Kesha

“Well, you almost had me fooled
Told me that I was nothing without you
Oh, but after everything you’ve done
I can thank you for how strong I have become

‘Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I’ll just say this is I wish you farewell

I hope you’re somewhere praying, praying
I hope your soul is changing, changing
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, praying

I’m proud of who I am
No more monsters, I can breathe again
And you said that I was done
Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come
‘Cause I can make it on my own
And I don’t need you, I found a strength I’ve never known
I’ve been thrown out, I’ve been burned
When I’m finished, they won’t even know your name

You brought the flames and you put me through hell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I’ll just say this is I wish you farewell

I hope you’re somewhere praying, praying
I hope your soul is changing, changing
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, praying

Oh, sometimes, I pray for you at night
Someday, maybe you’ll see the light
Oh, some say, in life, you’re gonna get what you give
But some things, only God can forgive

I hope you’re somewhere praying, praying
I hope your soul is changing, changing
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, praying..
.”

Pisces Full Moon Eclipse September 16

Posted by Sheri Horn Hasan - November 13, 2016 - Astrology

This Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 24 degrees 19 minutes Pisces—which falls under the same series of eclipses as the recent September 1 Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse—serves to reiterate the same message and present us with the same opportunity.

And what’s that?

To tackle the truth via viewing situations and people as they really are rather than as we want them to be…

So how are they really?

REALITY BITES

The Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse opposing the Sun in Virgo, provides us the chance to see clearly the shadow side of Virgo archetypal energy.

It’s now that we might we catch a glimpse of how releasing negative perfectionist energy can inspire us to toward greater self-love and self-compassion in order that we may extend such love—ultimately–into the realm of the collective unconscious.

Why?

Because Virgo energy can be tough on itself—a judgmental critic of nitpicky proportions who may take us to task for an un-dotted “i” or an uncrossed “t.”

Such a slave to detail might be surprised to find—once she looks up from her critical evaluation of whatever’s in her sights—that life might be a lot easier and far more pleasant if she gave up such hyper-critical behavior.

Now I’m not saying that Virgo energy is bad—not at all! It’s those who carry Virgo archetypal energy who deserve to get paid for minding details. After all, where would we be without the writers, editors, graphic designers, architects, carpenters, and accountants—to mention only a few–who help make life easier for the rest of us because they sweat the details…

Rather, I’m talking about the kind of hyper-critical nature that’s rewarded (sadly) only with negative feelings that run the gamut from lack of self-acceptance all the way to self-hatred.

THE SOULFUL PATH

This Pisces Moon is conjunct wounded healer Chiron, asking that we release any negative emotions around our inability to love ourselves before we go and give away what little love we have to others and deplete our own well even further…

Chiron conjunct the Pisces Moon reminds us that self-compassion and empathy are necessary for us to find our way out of our self-critical cage without destroying our self-esteem totally before we allow ourselves to exit…

As if that isn’t enough, this configuration opposite the Virgo Sun highlights where we may choose to play the victim or martyr role in any relationship or circumstance as we attempt to live up to our own idea of perfection. In this way, perfectionism becomes a kind of negative escapism from the possibility of drowning in a Piscean sea of chaos.

On a positive note, we’re provided the chance here to recognize that there’s hope for us after all…hope that, though many of us may be stuck in our “feeling less than” rut, we can undoubtedly still move forward to accomplish our dreams.

The first order of business is to move the myopic focus off of ourselves in order to reduce that hyper-vigilant detail-oriented introspective self-critique, and to think about shifting it outward into the wider world where—instead of hindering us–we may be rewarded.

PERFECT SCHMERFECT

Giving us the push to do so is Mars, which squares both luminaries and Chiron, and is trine to Uranus at the Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. In addition, the Pisces Moon/Chiron semi-sextiles Uranus, as the Virgo Sun quincunxes this planet of sudden, unexpected change.

So, while we are intent upon releasing our need to further devolve into the ever-elusive concept of a “perfect” individual, this may invoke some anger. Kind of like “you mean I’ve been trying to be perfect all this time and now I find out there is no such thing?!”

Or, the Mars square may manifest through irritation or anger that comes from the outside—more like what happens when another or others don’t like it if you refuse to “save” or sacrifice for them…

Of course, if one favors the victim mentality inherent in Pisces’ archetypal range of energies, you may feel put upon by others who decide they no longer want to save you!

Either way, the Mars square can be just the kick in the pants we need to get moving in the right direction. So, if you let it rip in some manner as Mars squares this Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse and Chiron, know that you might find smooth sailing, as the Mars trine to Uranus is like having the wind at your back—when you’re ice skating!

You might as well go with that flow because resistance is probably futile anyway, even if the Pisces Full Moon’s quincunx/sextile to Uranus causes a bit of pebble-in-your-shoe type discomfort…

BACK TO REALITY

Is the reality that we must be perfect in order to have earned the right to not only survive, but to thrive and live happily ever after?

Or is the reality that we benefit from our mistakes because as we learn we grow, and when we grow we become capable of functioning as inspirational individuals within the collective?

Full Moons are times of release. With a Pisces Full Moon, we are asked to let go of all that does not serve of a Virgoan nature, to reach out and embrace a higher spirituality, and to widen out our lens from myopic concentration on minutiae to see the bigger holistic picture…

Don’t forget that Mercury’s still retrograde until September 22 and that Saturn’s still square Neptune and the transiting Nodes—it ain’t over ‘til it’s over, as they say. There’s still plenty of opportunity to rethink, review, revise, re-imagine, and reincorporate into our psyches the notion that peace begins within…

Every “I’m not good enough because…” thought can be countered by the light shining upon it through this Pisces Full Moon. Pisces can be the sign of the dreamer, or one who believes in a world of blissful interconnectedness—no hate, no war, no divisions between humans, no cruelty—where there is only one unified notion: We are all one…

Let this full moon illuminate for us all the bigger picture—that no wo/man is an island, and that everyone’s imperfections are precisely what makes them perfect!

Namaste…

Libra Full Moon Eclipse March 23

Posted by Sheri Horn Hasan - March 23, 2016 - Astrology

Love, Will, & The Libra Full Moon Eclipse

As the Moon waxed toward full, less than 24 hours before the horrific terrorist events in Brussels, Belgium yesterday that left 31 dead and 270 injured, Mercury the messenger sped into the sign of Aries and brought his urgent message to the Sun.

When the ancients looked up at the sky and recognized “as above, so below,” they noted the correlation between celestial meetings and events on Earth. And, based on whether planetary “meetings” were deemed frictional or harmonious by sign and/or aspect, predictions were made. That’s how it was done back in the day…

So, in olden days, Mercury’s haste to catch up with the Sun (a.k.a., the KING) in Aries, the sign of action, especially on the eve of the Libra Full Moon eclipse, would have gotten greater notice by court astrologers as a potential declaration of some kind. In Aries, it’s always possible the message is one of war…

Am I One Of Many Or Many Of One?

It’s clear that war has been brewing in many places around the world in recent times. From large U.S. cities to nations in the Middle East, one does not have to travel far to find those who feel disenfranchised, outcast, ignored, and disrespected these days.

In the wake of the Pluto/Uranus square of recent years—who’s revolutionary energy is clearly still in play–the message is clear: Ignore us at your peril…

When individuals feel dis-empowered, unheard, and demeaned, their helplessness can turn to hopelessness. And in that hopelessness, one individual may find comfort in banding together with others who share the same emotional despair.

The result? The kind of mind-numbing violence witnessed yesterday, witnessed in Paris last November, witnessed in New York City on 9/11, and witnessed in many places around the world many times over the past few years…and let’s not forget that those who perpetrate these crimes often violently end their own lives as well.

“The individual…forced to turn inward…becomes obsessed with the new form of identity, namely Even-if-I-Know-Who-I-am, I-have-no-significance. I am unable to influence others. For no human being can stand the perpetually numbing experience of his own powerlessness.” ~ Rollo May, Love & Will

Partnership Vs. Going It Alone

“We must unite in the face of terrorism,” declared U.S. President Barack Obama yesterday on the eve of the Libra Full Moon Eclipse after terrorists struck Belgium’s Brussels Airport and a downtown metro station yesterday.

“We can and will defeat those who threaten the safety and security of people all around the world,” he added.

Libra = Partnership

Aries = Independent Action

The Sun moved into Aries at the Spring Equinox on March 20, heralding spring in the northern hemisphere and changing up the more languid energy of the planetary pile up in Pisces from late February to late March.

Action is now the word of the month, as Aries energy–ruled by the planet Mars–is about doing and not so much about compromise…learn more about the Sun in Aries here…

One day later, on March 21, Mercury flew into Aries and it became clear by March 22 that shared violent thoughts can indeed manifest as violent actions carried out by individuals.

Of course, much higher vibrational manifestations of Mercury in Aries are possible–find out more about Mercury in Aries’ positive energies here…

Libra Full Moon Eclipse Between 3-4 Degrees Of Libra

Chiron was, and is still, conjoined in the sky with the transiting South Node at this Libra Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, which occurred at 8:01 a.m. ET. The presence here of Chiron, the Wounded Healer in Greek mythology, indicates that both individuals’ wounds AND the wounds of those who make up the collective–in this lifetime and the karmic past–must be acknowledged and brought out into the light to be healed.

That’s a tall order, no? How do we each do our part?

We can start by recognizing the humanity in every individual; the similarities between others and their situations and ours, and the capacity for compassion.

When our own wounds are revealed and we’re able to experience and express self-compassion (rather than criticism or judgment) then we may extend such thinking to others.

When we judge and condemn others whose circumstances are beyond our scope of recognition, how can we become anything but an instrument onto which those judged and condemned will focus their hate?

“It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realize the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger.” ~ Gertrude Stein

War & Peace

For whatever reason, it made sense to me to post the lyrics and link to Pete Townsend’s song “See Me,” by The Who, as–on some level at least–it feels like the battle cry of the disenfranchised pleading to be taken seriously…

“See me…feel me…touch me…heal me…”

And, if and when that should occur, the result can be the possibility of reconciliation and understanding of others’ perspectives and ideas.

Don’t get me wrong–terrorists are not people who need to be forgiven for acts of violence committed against innocents.

Rather, such deeds stand as our opportunity to bridge the gap between “us and them” through introducing new ideas and potential solutions that excite, challenge, and make feel included, rather than excluded, empowered rather than dis-empowered, the disenfranchised…MORE than their unoriginal idea of more killing stands as their opportunity to prove their own insignificance…

The Sun and Mercury in Aries, along with Chiron and this Libra Full Moon Eclipse, ask us to release the wounds that cause us to judge and want to fight fire with fire, and instead to motivate ourselves to come up with ways in which those who want to make war can be lead down the path to peace…

“Listening to you, I get the music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet…
Right behind you, I see the millions
On you, I see the glory
From you, I get opinions
From you, I get the story…”

Here’s to those who will be paving that path to peace…
