Sun in Leo 2017 Awaken My Noble Heart!

A TIME TO IGNITE OUR SELF-EXPRESSION

Leo is a FIRE sign, it's ally is the SUN and in the body it rules the HEART

Dear Readers of this blog,

The Sun enters the sign of Leo on July 22nd transitioning from the sensitive, feeling sign of Cancer into the fiery realm of the noble heart in search of genuine self expression. In Leo our spirit ventures forth from our safe comfort zone and radiates its light out into the world.

Leo is about RADIATING our GENUINE CREATIVITY and being RECOGNIZED by others

The NEW MOON in LEO July 23 at 5:45 am EST is a time we can examine what we want to reset in our lives

Some questions we can meditate on:

How are my vitality, passion and creativity doing?

What adjustments can I make to be in tune with my radiance?

What lights up my energy?

What drains my energy?

Soon to follow: August 2017 - a Season of Eclipses

Sun in Cancer 2017: Finding our safe place

A TIME TO NOURISH AND NURTURE

The Sun enters the sign of Cancer on June 22, 2017. Cancer is a WATER sign and therefore "the stuff 'tis made of" is emotions and feelings. It is ruled by the MOON and its tides and is the mother archetype.

NEW MOON IN CANCER June 24, 2017

This is the time to make our New Moon intentions. After the fast Gemini energy of connections and communication we now need to create safe place for ourselves and for our projects. Create 'bubbles" where we can nurture our projects into fruition.

When projects are new or starting up, after the initial excitement and bursts of action and creativity, they still may be somewhat vulnerable and we need to create safe space for them to grow. Just like a baby grows in the protective space of the womb.

What are our intentions for this part of the journey?

What is "safe space" for me?
Who do I feel are my "family"?
Where do I feel nurtured and protected?
What are the values I uphold?
How do I take care of myself and my loved ones?
Where is home?
In what areas of my life do I need to create protective, nourishing "bubbles"?

FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN - SUN IN CANCER July 9, 2017

The Full Moon brings the Sun in Cancer into opposition with the Moon in Capricorn, reminder to integrate the opposites such as home (Cancer) and work (Capricorn), mother and father, feelings and reason.

This Full Moon happens with the Moon joining Pluto in Capricorn, so there can be a spike in intense emotions. Just keep calm and find your "safe space". It's all part of the journey!

And soon to come: the eclipse in August 2017!

Sun in Gemini 2017: Its's all about communication and making connections!

A TIME TO COMMUNICATE

What are your intentions at the time of the Sun in Gemini?

The Sun enters the sign on Gemini on May 21st, 2017 and this is a time to make connections and focus on communicating with others. That impulse to ACTION that started with the Sun in Aries then slowed down in TAURUS, to become stronger and GATHER RESOURCES for the journey of MANIFESTATION. And now in GEMINI it is time to make connections and COMMUNICATE with the people who will be part of your journey, your project.

NEW MOON IN GEMINI: May 25, 2017

The Sun and Moon together in the sky in the sign of Gemini mark the NEW MOON and the time of the month to create our intentions.

What are your Gemini intentions?

Who do I want to connect with?
How do I want to communicate with others?
What do I want to communicate and share with others?

FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS - SUN IN GEMINI: June 9, 2017

At the time of the Full Moon the Sun and Moon form an opposition in the sky. As the Sun in Gemini sets in the West, the Full Moon in Sagittarius starts to rise in the East. The Full Moon is a celebratory moment and we are starting to integrate some of those communication intentions we created at the time of the New Moon.

There may be short trips in store! Connections made and more to come.

Allow the energy to flow! Be curious! Find information and make connections!

Astrology A map of possibilities

En español a continuación

What is Astrology?

In ancient times, as people turned their gaze up to the stars, they started to find connections between the movements and placements of the stars, the Sun, the Moon, the planets and their own lives and their environment. Thus Astrology began to develop, this ancient way of perceiving connections between the sky and stars, and the events in one’s own life. Ancient astronomers charted out the sky as a wheel and divided it into 12 equal parts, each containing a different constellation and a different energetic quality or function. In this way the zodiac and its 12 signs were born: Aires, the energetic quality of taking action, Gemini energy of communication, Cancer energy of nourishment, etc. These astronomers of antiquity also charted out the wheel of the Earth into 12 parts: the houses of experience through which we access the wheel of the sky. Then, in the perception of “As above, so below,” as stated by Hermes Trismegistro, they developed the natal chart – a ‘mandala’ of each person’s unique “star configuration” – each person’s specific map of the solar system and constellations at the moment of birth. ≈≈ Although Astrology has been known for its predictive use, telling of the “bad” and “good” things that would befall us, in our current age, Astrology has more and more become a tool for personal growth and evolution, the natal chart being viewed as a map of the inherent possibilities and challenges we each bring with us at the moment of our birth.

≈≈

Astrology – a tool for personal empowerment

In this manner, many present day astrologers guide consultants in becoming aware of these possibilities and challenges, free from judgment and the interpretation of good or bad, benefic or malefic, -- seeking to understand the deeper, evolutionary meaning of each one’s natal map, and, envisioning new, creative ways to help one deal with moments of change and to find new, empowering options.

≈≈

We can ask ourselves how it is that we, men and women, have expressed over time, these energetic qualities of the signs. Take for example Aries the first sign of the zodiac with its energetic function of action, initiating, starting up, moving forward, the energy of impulse and the daring to act instantly on a decision, a dream, a purpose. In the body it is the blood rushing through our veins; it is the moment we take a step forward, the initiating step. Historically we have embodied this outgoing energy along a spiral or spectrum that goes from being warlike, fighting, wanting to win at all cost, being aggressive, to being competitive, being impulsive, being brave, standing up for our convictions, being courageous, daring to set out to explore and scout new unchartered lands, having the impetus to act on our decisions, the courage to stand up for our convictions.

Stuck in the same groove or jumping the groove creatively

These patterns of behavior have created grooves in the collective unconscious and are the basis on which predictions are made. As an astrologer, I study these grooves of archetypal behavior and strive to uncover the deep energetic meaning of the alignments on each person's natal chart. Together we explore the events in each one's life and relationships – seeking ways to “jump the groove”, to move out of repetitive behavior, to find new, creative ways to think, act and feel – ultimately ways that empower each individual.

Introduccióna la ASTROLOGIA? Un mapa de posibilidades

En épocas antiguas, cuando la gente contemplaba las estrellas, comenzaron a encontrar conexiones entre los movimientos de las estrellas, el Sol, la Luna, y los planetas, y lo que sucedía en el entorno. De esta manera comenzó la Astrología, una manera de percibir las conexiones entre el cielo y las estrellas y los eventos de la vida de uno. Los astrónomos antiguos trazaron un mapa del cielo y lo dividieron en una rueda de 12 partes iguales, cada parte conteniendo una constelación diferente de estrellas con cualidades o funciones energéticas diferentes. De esta manera nacieron el zodiaco y los 12 signos: Aries, la cualidad energética de tomar acción, Géminis, energía de comunicación, Cáncer, energía de nutrición y cuidad, etc. Estos astrónomos de la antigüedad, también trazaron un mapa de la tierra, una rueda dividida en 12 partes: las casas de experiencia terrestre a través de las cuales accedemos a la rueda del cielo. Luego,en la percepción de “Como es arriba, es abajo” planteado por Hermes Trismegisto, desarrollaron la carta natal – un ‘mandala’ de la ‘configuración de estrellas’ única de cada persona – una instantánea del cielo y la tierra al momento de nacimiento de cada persona.

≈≈

Aunque la Astrología se conoce mayormente por su uso para hacer predicciones, alegando las cosas ‘buenas’ y ‘malas’ que nos pueden pasar, en esta época presente, la astrología se ha transformado en una herramienta de crecimiento personal y de evolución; la carta natal se ve como un mapa de posibilidades y desafíos posibles que cada uno de nosotros trae al momento de nacer.

≈≈

La Astrología – una herramienta de desarrollo del poder personal

De esta manera, muchos astrólogos de hoy en día, guían a sus consultantes para que sean concientes de estas posibilidades y desafíos, -- y libres de juicios y de la interpretación de los eventos de vida como buenos o malos, benéficos o maléficos, -- buscan entender el sentido más profundo y evolutivo del mapa natal de cada uno, e intentan envisionar nuevas maneras creativas para enfrentar los momento de cambio y encontrar opciones nuevas que despierten el desarrollo del poder personal de cada uno.

≈≈

Repetir el surco o dar el salto creativo

Podemos preguntarnos como es que nosotros, hombres y mujeres, hemos expresado a lo largo del tiempo, estas cualidades energéticas de los signos, cómo nos hemos alineado con estas energías. Tomemos por ejemplo a Aries, el primer signo del zodiaco con su cualidad energética o función de acción extrovertida, inicio, poner en marcha, arrancar, energía de impulso y el riesgo de la actuar inmediata. En el cuerpo es la sangre que corre por las venas; es el momento del paso inicial. Históricamente hemos expresado esta energía siguiendo un espectro o espiral que va desde ser guerreros, peleadores, competitivos, impulsivos, a ser valientes, arriesgarnos a explorar, tener el ímpetu para actuar sobre una decisión, el coraje de pelear por nuestras convicciones.

Estos patrones de comportamiento han creado surcos en el inconciente colectivo y son la base sobre la cual se formulan las predicciones. Como astróloga, yo estudio estos surcos de comportamiento arquetípico humano y busco descubrir el sentido profundo y energético de los alineamientos en la carta natal de las personas que me consultan. Juntos exploramos los eventos de vida – buscando maneras de ‘saltar el surco’, de salir del comportamiento repetitivo, y encontrar nuevas manera de pensar, actuar y sentir – respuestas creativas a las vivencias de cada uno.
