For millions of years people have turned their watchful gaze to the stars to discover many things. It may have been a sailor looking towards the North for the Dog Star. It was a caravan of Gypsies navigating their way to their next destination.

People have watched the stars for a variety of reasons and one of those reasons is to determine their astrological fortune. How will the day go? What is in the stars for them?

The zodiac signs have long been used to foresee a future and make determinations of character. In this article we will cover zodiac signs and their meanings. Hopefully by the end you will have discovered a true delight in awakening each day to your astrological reading.

What is astrology?

Astrology is studying of the constellations, stars and planets to determine how they impact a person’s life and their habits. It is thought that the position of the stars, planets and cosmos has a direct bearing on a person’s life at their time of birth.

Whether or not this is true is still suspect as there is no real way to prove anything. But astrology has a wide following and people turn to their horoscopes daily to see what the stars have in store for them.

What are they represented by?

Okay, this is a long list so bear with us. Each of the zodiacs is represented by a figure, a thing or an animal in which the cluster of stars resembles. Aries is represented by the Ram. Taurus is of course the Bull. Gemini is the Twin.

Cancer is the Crab and Leo is the Lion. Virgo is the Virgin, Libra is th

As you can see many of the zodiac signs have names that are indicative of what shape the constellation is in. Each of the different zodiac signs has strengths and weaknesses attributed to them.

What are the different styles of zodiac?

There are three main types of zodiac used in the world today. The Western zodiac is the one we are most familiar with but there is also the Indian (Jyotish) zodiac and the Chinese zodiac. All three are still practiced widely and sometimes even used together to try to predict an outcome of someone’s life or gauge their personality traits.

What is the Western zodiac?

The Western Zodiac is the twelve signs that we are most familiar with such as Aquarius, Sagittarius and Leo. But what is interesting is that these twelve signs no longer correspond with their same place in the sky. Why is this? It is because due to equinoxes the star positions have changed over time and the constellations are no longer where they originally were.

Many say that it is the “Age of Aquarius”, but it’s more like a TRANSITION form the FISH to the WATER CARRIER! As we move around the celestial heavens from one constellation to another, it’s not a neat and tidy time reference. We generally use 2,100 years, give or take a hundred or so years. The zodiac comes from the Greek meaning “circle of animals”, though not all twelve are. Go figure. 

The major switch as I see it as we move from the Hopi 4th Sun to the 5th Sun relates to WHO has the POWER!

This current transition from Pisces to Aquarius is brining forth a new archetypal energy. Whereas we’ve looked for the leaders who had the POWER, bowed to higher AUTHORITIES, and looked to OTHERS to sustain our life, we’re now transitioning to a remembering that it is WE (I AM) who ARE the POWER! Now, that will rock your boat and those who think they have power over you.

Back to Hunter’s phrase, “We’re the ones that we have been waiting for.”

This isn’t something that’s going to happen over night, but we are going to see “eruptions” from time to time as we spit, spurt, belch, and jerk from one paradigm to another. December 21, 2012 is simply a reminder, an alarm clock going off that SYMBOLIZES the transition and gives understanding to that which bothers us. Could something happen exactly on that day? Sure! But, I wouldn’t be gambling any money on that bet.

I find it amazing that the Age Of Pisces that was ushered in with the CHR

My best guess is that because we looked to those LEADERS as I wrote above and they each wanted to own their own piece of the planet and so it was GAME (war) ON! But now we’re headed into a time wherein we know WHO we ARE and we can rest in the fact that we don’t have to CHANGE anyone. We don’t have to get someone SAVED. We don’t have to FIX our neighbor. We can just BE and LOVE!

Works for me!

Before looking at what the zodiac is, it is important first to understand what the ecliptic is. If you were to imagine what you see when you look up into the sky, and if you tracked the apparent movement of the Sun through it, this is what is meant when the word ecliptic is used. Put simply it means the apparent pathway of the Sun through the sky as viewed from earth.

The zodiac is actually a group of constellations that form the backdrop to the Sun’s apparent pathway through the sky that extends 9 degrees on either side of the ecliptic. The orbits of the planets (and our Moon) also fall within this zodiac belt. The word zodiac stems from the ancient Greeks – zodiakos kyklos, “circle of animals”, or ta zodia, “the little animals” because most of the constellations through which the ecliptic passes represent animals. Although the constellations are irregular in size and shape the 12 astrological signs are generally allocated 30 degrees each.

“The word zodiac stems from the ancient Greeks – zodiakos kyklos, “circle of animals”, or ta zodia, “the little animals…”

The ecliptic was clearly identified and divided into 12 equal signs of the zodiac around 450 BC in Mesopotamia. Most reference sources indicate that the zodiac is a Babylonian invention – the oldest record of the zodiacal signs is a cuneiform horoscope from 419 BC. At the same time, Greek sources claim the discovery of the ecliptic during the second half of the 5th century BC. Like many historical developme

Symbolically, each of the zodiac signs (Aries – Ram; Taurus – Bull; Gemini – Twins; Cancer – Crab; Leo – Lion; Virgo – Virgin; Libra – Scales; Scorpio – Scorpion; Sagittarius – Archer; Capricorn – Goat; Aquarius – Water Bearer; and Pisces – Fish) represent various qualities. For example, Aries is represented by a Ram and the qualities of initiative, bravery and assertiveness.

Because the Sun’s (apparent) pathway through the heavens is basically constant and can be found at roughly the same spot for the same date in each year, this is how we came to use Sun Signs: the position of the Sun in relation to the backdrop of the zodiac constellations. This system is convenient because the average person doesn’t have to have complicated planetary positions worked out to know which constellation affects them personally, the date of birth is all that is needed in most cases.

We have some very special days coming up with a New Moon, the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Tiger starting, as well as St. Valentine’s Day ~celebrating love and connection.

In Western Astrology this week is all about the energies of Aquarius with six Planets in this innovative sign. If you remember the song from the musical Hair: “This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius”, you know that Aquarians are such original thinkers, revolutionaries and nonconformists that they reshape the world for the better. They are not interested in how things have always been, but in a world of freedom and equality for all. They always have their eye on the future, not on the past. The cultural revolution of the 1960s and 70s epitomized the Aquarian need to rebel against the established order and bring forth a new vision. I loved that musical as a child! It was somehow mysterious and uplifting, that was all I was caring about.

Aquarius is the elevens sign in the unfolding of the zodiac. It is thought of as masculine and representing the element air even if it is depicted as woman carrying water. That might seem weird at first glance. But Water is associated with nurturing, and Aquarians are fundamentally nurturing humanitarians, with a deep interest in and genuine concern for other people. They readily volunteer their time to service organizations of humanitarian interests because they truly care.

Get ready for a new orientation within your mind (Mercury), some impatience (Moon), and new ideas about who you could be in your highest

•    Mercury sails into Aquarius with a quincunx to Jupiter

•    Mercury opposition Mars

•    Venus enters into Pisces

•    New Moon in Aquarius

•    Sun, Chiron and Neptune conjunction in Aquarius

•    Moon in Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius

Uranus Rules Aquarius

Uranus rules Aquarius and, with Saturn, the 11th House (Friends & Vision) and enacts the Aquarian values and qualities in his outrageous, unrestrained ways.  In the body Uranus rules the nervous system, mental disorders, and pituitary gland.

While of course order and balance are important in the world, the other side of that coin, change and evolution into greater love, freedom, and well-being for all, is just as important. Human society could not evolve and expand unless there are individuals who challenge the established order. We need them! Uranus is a progressive humanitarian and visionary who has no special respect for authority whatsoever; he exerts his will over authority in his idealistic quest for freedom, justice, and opportunity for weaker members of society.

Uranus is the opposite of Brother Saturn: where Saturn is concerned with limitations, Uranus rules our expansive, creative intelligence, calling us to inspired thought and action, and to uniqueness rather than conformity. Those qualities derive from our connection with the universal intelligence. Change is a keyword for Uranus, always change for the better, and the faster the better, toward an expanded life and the higher realms of consciousness. The Uranus principles describe our greatest leaders and role models.

As you can see, Uranus and Saturn make a strong couple and somehow belong together in their seemingly opposing roles.

The Big T-Square

It sounds a like the Big Bang and some people expect it to act a little like that. We are in the middle of some serious shaking up of the old which will continue throughout this year.

And of course our friend Uranus as well as Saturn is involved in the so called T-square which is much talked about in the astrological community because of its wide reaching implications for our present time of change. The opposition of Saturn with Uranus is happening five times between November 08 and July 2010 and is activated by a square with Pluto into the T-square 3 times between November 2009 and August 2010.

There is a global impact of all this which shows as a major cultural turning point, challenge and start into an unraveling of structures in our society we all have dreaded since the financial markets meltdown started and the economy started to fall apart on us. But there is also a very personal impact each one of us is facing as an individual and we are called to action with adjustments in our personal lives and this week is a good week to get more in alignment with it.

Mercury Sails into Aquarius with a Quincunx to Jupiter

Uranus and Aquarius are representing a very strong intellect, and intellect combined with ingenuity makes for great discoveries in the sciences and the most impressive artistic creations. But with Mercury settling into the very intellectual and detached sign of Aquarius we could end up with “turning into brilliant but cold blooded Mr. Spook” as astrologer Jeff Jawer put it. If it wouldn’t be for Jupiter’s optimism and the loving Venus making her new home in Pisces, we might get lost in the righteousness of the overall revolution and kill off our own children and bright future as it happened in the French Revolution which was ending in a big blood shed of everybody killing everybody.

Uranus is not for sissies and can get easily carried away thinking the end justifies the means.

Mercury in Aquarius in Opposition to Mars in Leo

The Mercury Mars opposition can fuel the impatience of the New Moon and make us more easily frustrated, irritated or angry then usual. But their connection also carries the potential of immediate action and implementation of new ideas. The solution can be found where Aquarius and Leo meet in the balance of the ego need for self gratification, applause and admiration of Leo with the integration of considering others, the bigger group, family, or society of Aquarius.

Venus Enters into Pisces

Venus, the goddess of love is exalted in Pisces which means she feels quiet at home in the all encompassing, transcending sign of Pisces. Loving Venus smoothes the raw edges of the week with all the impatient Aquarian energy and helps us to keep an inner contact with what life really is about, our inner connection with all that is, life in all its forms. Venus in Pisces points us towards our vision and dreams of oneness and true love and that is the first necessary step to ever get there. I love this quote by Abraham-Hicks: “Sometimes people say, ‘Well, Abraham, shouldn’t I face reality?’ We say, no, you never do that! Never face reality unless it is perfect in every way.”

This is for sure different then what I have been brought up with. But think about it. Nothing ever has been created without the idea or vision first. Every house had a blueprint and architectural plan first before it was built. How can you expect to ever live a fuller, more satisfying life in any way if you don’t allow yourself to dream about it first and then take action steps towards it? The trick with the manifestation business is to keep your attention on the vision and not get hung up on the missing of the manifestation which has not happened yet. Be patient in the constant flow of unfolding and endless creation process you will never be done with. You might as well enjoy the journey and keep your eyes on the prize. And use any excuse to be happy and feel joy along the way.

New Moon in Aquarius

The New Moon each month is traditionally a magical time when the old ends and the new is ready to emerge. It is a time to go inside and take a look back at your month and how it has been for you and from your realization to envision your next month cycle. I think of the New Moon space a little like the New Year resolutions. The New Moon is on Saturday and you might be able to make the time to sit with your journal and do your inner work. Write down your wishes and where you want to go, have or achieve this coming month. Be specific.

When I do vision work I use a crystal to store my visions into and keep it on my altar or I meditate with the stone. It works as an anchor, multiplies and strengthens the energy of my visions and keeps me more focused and grounded with it. If you like to read up on exactly how to use crystal quartz for manifesting your dreams I have written a whole article you can find on my website about that.

The New Moon in Aquarius might make us more impatient then usual. My natal Moon is in Aquarius so I will be especially in tune with this New Moon. I am planning accordingly and will have time with my girl friends doing some fun stuff together. We will go dancing and then have a spa day with infra red sauna, steam and hot tub, just the thing to do with your heart sisters.

Cleansing and preparing yourself physically as well as emotionally and psychically honors the spirit of the New Moon.

Sun, Chiron and Neptune Conjunction in Aquarius

This conjunction widens our horizon again to include others into our considerations, feeling part of something bigger then our own little individuality and ego. We can find satisfaction and fulfillment in being a useful and contributing member of the circle of friends we move in, the people we work with, or society. We can heal the estrangement and anxieties we might have with groups and learn to relate to our community in a new way.

This week’s planetary constellations are very energizing and uplifting and will stimulate and inspire you. You can read this article to prepare yourself better for this week or you could just read up on the different constellations out of the timely context of this week.

The highlights of discussion are:

•    New Moon in Sagittarius

•    Sun, New Moon and Venus in Sagittarius squaring rebellious Uranus

•    Mars in going retrograde

•    Sun sextile to Jupiter and Neptune

•    Moon starting out in Sagittarius, getting more settled in Capricorn and breezes fresh air in Aquarius

Inspiration and Guidance is in Your Chart

With all the professional insecurities we are facing these day, wouldn’t it make sense to remember what you are really good at? Wouldn’t you want to find out more about your true calling, strength and potential? Let us think about this for a moment!

What were you dreaming as a kid of what you wanted to do when you were grown up? What did you want to do when you finished school and entered “real life”? It is really interesting and revealing to look back into your early dreams and compare to your journey through life and see where it has brought you.

As an example, my earliest dream was to become a doctor and really make a difference for other people in their life. Then one of my school teachers and mentor talked me out of it with pointing out that the education would take too many years and I might want to do so

Still wanting to make a difference and contribute something of importance I decided at the age of 19 to become a journalist. I wanted to teach and educate others, influence and raise consciousness. I applied at a very good journalist school in Cologne which offered an education in combination with economical studies at the university. The test and application process took 3 days and I made it through with excellent results. Ten month later the program started and that left me too much time to change my mind. I did move to Cologne to start the journalist school but life took a different turn.

I decided I wanted to do something with art, create beauty and become a goldsmith after all. I also liked the idea of being self employed and making my own decisions.

Now you probably wonder where I am going with all this. I want to make the point that we have many different choices for our potentials to take form in our life. I am Gemini rising, with many interests and skills for communication and writing. That would have given me plenty of potential for the professional choice for journalism. With a Neptune trine to Mercury and the Sun in the twelfth house the interest for healing and caring for others could have guided me into a healing profession.

Practical Taurus Rising with Venus in the first house won the contest and I learned the craft of goldsmithing as an apprentice and then studied art. During my art studies I became interested in deeper layers of meaningful jewelry, in astrology and started on a life long journey of learning about alternative healing modalities and the evolution of consciousness. (Moon in Aquarius)

After over thirty years the circle of all these different ambitions has been closed with my first published book Jewelry and Gems for Self-Discovery: Choosing Gemstones that Delight the Eyes & Strengthen the Soul where I teach you about astrology and how to read the blue print of your own chart. If you know where your challenges are, you can then take steps to support or balance yourself with your 12 personal healing gemstones. Jewelry and Gems for Self-Discovery is a treasure chest of ideas about Soul Jewelry; on how to select, purchase, and wear jewelry that will enhance your body, heart, mind, and soul. And you can see how it  has grown out of all these different interests and very specific set of skills of mine.

When I look back I can see how all my motivations of my early dreams have come to fruition over time and have culminated in my book.

This week’s heavenly potential can serve you well to do a little walk back your own memory lane and inquire what your dreams and aspirations were and what has come out of it. I suggest you take a cup of tea and sit with your journal or note book and write out your childhood dreams. It is also fun to ask your friends and find out about their life’s journey.

Mars in Leo Turning Retrograde on Sunday

Mars in Leo wants to express its creativity and shine from an inner place of self confidence and success.

Retrograde planets always turn our focus out of the normal onward directed flow. Things don’t flow as easily as we would like and it takes more determination and clarity to manifest and implement ideas. Therefore it is a wonderful time to go back and become more aware and conscious of forgotten motivations and gain more clarity, a new focus and intention out of that.

Mars is known as the warrior, presenting our ability to do things and direct our life force energy into action and results. It might not be easy to start new projects successfully right now till Mars turns direct again on March 10. But you can be wise and use this retrograde direction for insights into what has brought you into the present moment of time and make new plans for the future.

Sun, Moon and Venus in Sagittarius Squaring Rebellious Uranus

Whatever your life looks like today is very much connected with your childhood dreams and ambitions. When we are kids we are more in touch with our essence and not so corrupted by practical considerations of having to make money. If you are not happy and content with where you are in your life, if you feel like you are not living your fullest potential, I suggest to get an astrological reading, an update and feedback on where you are in your process.

This is indeed a good time for an astrological reading. A good reading can be a delightful process of self discovery and be a quantum leap in your understanding of your inner dynamics. It is a process of finding your own inner truth and guidance more consciously. Even if I am living far away in Hawaii, I am available for you for readings on Skype if you want that. When I give a reading I am always looking into the present transits as well to see where you are in the moment in relation to your basic blueprint.

With three planets in Sagittarius this week is about expanding beyond your limitations. This is a sign of adventure and escapism. It spurs interest in education, religion, finding inner meaning and join political just causes. It is driven by fiery energy expanding in constant motion and unfolding. Uranus is the rebellious visionary wanting to change the world for the better by revolutionizing the old hierarchic structures. With all this we have a potent mixture for finding answers and fulfillment we have been looking for a long time.

New Moon in Sagittarius on Wednesday

The New Moon is the time of the month for contemplation and meditation. It is the best time of the month to reorient yourself anew for the coming month with new intentions and goals. The New Moon is this moment of darkness cleaning the slate from the old, starting a new cycle colored by the sign it is in. With the New Moon in Sagittarius it is all about your own sense of satisfaction and fulfillment, the meaning you give to life.

Sun’s Sextile with Jupiter and Neptune

There is the additional harmonious flow of Jupiter energy as well as Neptune this week. Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius and will deepen your ambition to look for deeper meaning, answers and guidance in your life. Neptune is the master of dreams and connection with the divine and universal wisdom. Their connection with the center of our consciousness, the Sun will be inspiring, uplifting and insightful.

Many of you are very busy with pre Christmas preparations. This is a busy time of the year not only because of Christmas but because of the Sagittarius influence stirring things up. Enjoy this week and ride the wave as best as you can. Next week we enter a whole different energy with the Winter Solstice preparing us for the change from the longest night and the shortest day towards the strengthening of light and life force.

I hope you enjoyed my musings, aloha and many blessings, Shakti.

Another Super Moon, the fourth out of Five this year! The Moon is closest to the earth which is called perigee and the New Moon phase will intensify the gravitational pull on ocean tides and tectonic plates. And of course our emotional receptivity will be tuned up as well! As we have discussed before; the Moon is reflecting our emotional filter and perception towards the world. And the Full Moon and the New Moon are special because they are still points of change in direction and speed, a moment to take a breath and reorient ourselves.

New Moon

Each New Moon provides us with a new beginning of a new cycle, a clean slate to start from. There is a little magic in these turning points of the New Moon and the Full Moon as there is in the Solstice and the Equinox. These are universal rhythms which remind me of our breathing. When we breathe in we supply the body with fresh oxygen and life force, then there is a moment of stillness before we breathe out, releasing the old and stagnant, then another still point and the cycle resumes.

For me astrology is just a wonderful way to find my place in these magnificent universal cycles and gain understanding in how to apply the wisdom found within it.

There are the short cycles of the Moon waxing and waning and there are the longer cycles of the Sun moving through the year. Each station in a different sign is describing a specific universal quality available in that moment in time.

You could say the cycle of the Moon through the zodiac is an indicator of the emoti

Sun/Moon in Leo and the Story of King Arthur

The sign of the Leo is a sign of courage, stepping up to challenges, taking leadership and the quest for the lionhearted towards the grail. The grail in the story of King Arthur is the symbol for waking up to his true divine nature, becoming enlightened if you will.

The movie The Excalibur is telling us the story of the quest for what ails the country and the king. The solution and answer is found by one of the knights in the form of the grail at the bottom of a river. Water always has been a symbol for our unconsciousness and is ruled by the Moon. When Lancelot brings the grail to the King and he tells him: “The King and the land is one!” And the king is healed from the sickness that ailed him. This message of oneness as our true nature is the potential of this Sun / Moon constellation.

We are living in truly unprecedented times of change and with the potential of a leaping to a higher level of consciousness and the inner experience beyond doubt of our connectedness and oneness not only as a species but with all forms consciousness takes.

Sun/Moon Opposition to Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune

This alliance is showing us the way towards the Aquarian Age and might be one of the milestones in getting there. The Aquarian Age is thought as the time in our human evolution where the principles of equality, diversity, peace, freedom and abundance for all become reality. I grant you we are far from it yet, but I believe that this constellation is setting the stage for the unfolding of it.

Add the Pluto is Capricorn to the mix and you can see what I mean. Pluto is the one who is destroying the old, rigid, no longer serving order and structures of society.

Jupiter is looking for new and better ways to expand, learn and a deeper meaning in our humanness. Chiron is involved in showing us our individual weak points and wounds we need healing for to step forward into the new without old baggage. Neptune is the dreamer of possibilities and knows about oneness and revels in the connection with the divine.

The activated Leo/ Aquarian axis is creating awareness for our dreams, goals and visions for a better life for all and the willingness to start where we are, doing what we can do, and contributing the morphogenetic field with who we are.

Aquarius is the 11th Sign in the Zodiac

Aquarius is the second to the last sign in the archetypical wheel of the zodiac, which is symbolizing evolution and growth on all levels of existence. One circle of learning is almost coming to an end. Therefore they feel a deep inner connection to humankind and love to contribute but on their own terms.

The sign of Aquarius is opposite and complementary of the sign of Leo and is opposing the king or the ruling forces in society. They carry the responsibility for change for the better and shaking up the status quo.

You could say that this is the time we have been waiting for!

Living on a planet where separation, power and greed are still very dominant factors for decisions on a personal or national level and between nations; many of us have those desires for peace, freedom, equal human rights and a true change in human interactions. The election of Obama as President has sprung from the hope for better days, better decisions in politics and a deep longing for change for the better, for true idealism and accountability. “We can do it!”

Astrology, Awareness and Hope

Using your mind the right way by focusing onto your hopes and dreams is applying the Law of Attraction and is in your own power to do so!

Astrology can be one of your most powerful tools for raising your consciousness and holding onto hope. In times of despair and confusion, when you cannot see any possible way forward, astrology can provide you with the insights you need to understand your situation and make effective choices to move forward. When you are aware of the forces, both internal and external, that are impacting your life, you are empowered to make the right action choices. Hope plus awareness and conscious choice is a powerful equation for solving problems!

Other Planetary Potentials

We can invoke Uranus in Pisces for inspiration, Saturn and Mercury in Virgo for practical solutions and attention to details, Mars in Gemini for courage and intelligent action and Pluto in Capricorn for facing our fear and doing what needs to be done anyway!

Each one of us can be a part of the solution and evolutionary journey we are all on. You are important in the choices you make, the contribution you are as being part of the solution and not the problem. Find time to reflect on our innermost dreams, your inner longings, and your “bucket list”. Find a place where you can contribute to your community be a force for good! Reflect on your special gifts you have to offer…

In my book Jewelry and Gems for Self-Discovery: Choosing Gemstones that Delight the Eyes & Strengthen the Soul I teach you about astrology and how to read your own chart. If you know where your challenges are, you can then take steps to support or balance yourself with gemstones, if that is something that appeals to you.

Aloha and many blessings, Shakti.
