Missing The Firebenders

What’s missing?

Well, there is nothing doing in any of the Fire signs at the moment.

Nothing major in Aries, Leo or Sagittarius.
And yes, i kind of miss it.

One way or another – Pluto in Sagittarius, long transits of Venus in Aries and then Mars in Leo, Uranus in Aries mid-year – we have had tonnes of Fire around for yonks. Now it’s all Air-Earth-Water…Ladies and Gentlemen, we currently have a Fire element defecit.

Aries-Saggo-Leo peeps need more support than usual. Some of them feel like they’ve totally lost their moxy.
The Fire sign areas of your chart are eerily not happening.

Air Sign Rising? Hello, what happened your active social life, regular dialogues and actual love life?
Earth Sign Rising? Is there a God? A Goddess? Or just you and the never-ending tasks to to be sodding completed list?
Water Sign Rising? Hello, prospects? Are you there?
Fire Sign Rising? Where did your looks go and are they coming back anytime soon?
All of you – what happened to the drive, the chutzpah, the ability to pull all-nighters when need be, the motivation, your nerve, the audacity…the parties…???

We will simply have to enjoy our Fire Sign Moons when they come along and then there is Mars in super-Sagg from late October…Meanwhile, getting your Mars on with the Scorpio vibe is simple: You only feel good if you are initiating constant change and are in (healthy) attack mode.

Walking a Heavenly Path

I was walking through a trail in the woods around a lake when all of a sudden the Angels nudged me and asked me why I was looking down when there was all this beauty around me. I looked up and immediately saw some squirrels arguing, running up, down and around a tree. I glanced further up in the trees and saw so many birds, I couldn’t count them all. I would never have known they were there if I didn’t look up. Then over in the lake was a log. It was sticking up out of the water with seven turtles on it. There were so many turtles on that small space and not enough room so some were propping themselves up on the backs of others. It looked so funny! Then I noticed the ducks. They looked like they were bobbing for apples every time they dunked their heads under water. I was starting to feel like I was in my own little heaven!

I was out in the open now with the sun shining bright on me. I looked ahead and noticed that the ducks had made quite a mess on the path. I told the Angels that I was thankful for the beauty around me but I was going to look down during this part of my path. I skillfully stepped around the messes and when I got past them, I was under the trees again and continued taking notice of what was above and around me.

Some of you are probably saying, “Thank you, for taking me on your walk however, what is the message?” The message is the Angels want to remind everyone that we can miss out on so much when we keep our focus on the Earthplane situations around us. We can get encouraged, just by looking up and seeing the vastness of the sky; the rain that nourishes the plants; the animals that don’t have money but always seem to get food each and every day. But also that it is okay to look down when you see someone else’s mess. This is so that you can easily side-step it, remembering to immediately put your focus back up higher. It is such a blessing to no longer have to accept other people’s messes as our own or as a lesson for ourselves. We still recognize it but pass no judgment while continuing on our heavenly path.

Turn Over A New Leaf

Have you been dealing with some recent blows? Some of us are experiencing some hard lessons thanks to disciplinarian Saturn and the sun. Thanks to the new moon in Libra, however, we have the chance to set new intentions and goals. Experience a clean slate. Turn over a new leaf. When it comes to getting what you want, put the gloves on and get down and dirty. The new moon in Libra indicates we're all getting a fresh start now! Take a look below to see what area of your life needs attention.

Information Arrives!

Mercury is the major player this week. This means how you communicate is extra important! First, you get an information bonanza as Mercury joins with the Sun in a conjunction on October 16. When Mercury forms a quincunx to expansive Jupiter on October 17, you'll need to tweak your plans and be as flexible as possible.

October 16: The Sun conjuncts Mercury
On September 3, when Mercury was retrograde, the Sun and Mercury came together in a conjunction in Virgo. Back then, you received information you were unable to put to good use, but hopefully you used that time to research and gather data. These two come together again, this time in Libra, and finally a plan comes together. It's time to reap the benefits of all your conversations, agreements and ideas over the last couple of months. This marks a time of new beginnings, new plans and new ideas. Finally you get the go-ahead to do something with them!

October 17: Mercury quincunx Jupiter
This aspect can bring unexpected information and surprising news. Sometimes what you get is not what you thought was coming. Now that retrograde Jupiter has returned to Pisces, your ideas are challenged as Mercury forms this curveball aspect. Or perhaps there is a disconnect between what you say and what you believe -- or between your thoughts and another's worldview. Mercury in Libra wants to avoid conflict. Still, the emotions of Jupiter in Pisces can flood the social discourse in ways that may make intuitive sense, but lack logic.

Nature is wakening...

Merry spring day to all!

It's the 1st of September and spring is in the air here in sunny South Africa. To kick of the season, here is what the planets have in store:

September kicks off with the Sun in practical and communicative Virgo, calling for a restless though conscientious and hard working mood for the month. Virgo is an adaptable sign so it is extremely good at adjusting to changing circumstances and warm hearted behind its rather fussy facade.
However, it will not be all duty and no pleasure since indulgent Venus continues in its own sign of Libra for the first week of September, with plenty of charm, harmonious words, and extravagance to mark its passage. It holds hands with dreamy Neptune on the September 4, in a trine across the zodiac, which could add a hint of romance. Then from September 8, Venus glides effortlessly into intensely sexy, seductive Scorpio for a sojourn through November 7. Beware -- feelings may run deep, and strong passions may flare up during this period.
Jupiter moves back into Pisces on September 9, and stays there until almost the end of January 2011. This should bring a spiritual note into our lives, since this transit has a charitable heart, deep compassion and a sense of the importance of inner peace.
Mercury turns direct on September 12, and it is time to pick up our forward movements. On the same day a super-persuasive Venus sextile Pluto will bring warmth to encounters and a touch of passion, though be aware of a few hidden agendas. Venus-Pluto does have a manipulative side which needs to be handled with care.
Mars stands stalwart for better co-operation in close relationships to Libra until September 14, generally with positive results. It then moves into Scorpio to stay there until October 27, which will bring with it a mood of formidable determination and as well as a little vengefulness. Mars in Scorpio can never find it in its heart to forgive, forget and move on. It wrestles in a rather anguished way with hurts, slights and double dealings. Not that it is entirely straightforward all the time either, since it carries all of Scorpio's need for secrecy to extreme lengths. It does however, have its purpose, in standing rock steady in crisis, being courageous and resourceful, and provides a backbone for any difficulties ahead.
Pluto going direct in Capricorn on September 14 will provide assistance in solving practical and financial problems. A period of good luck, full of adventurous spirit, with a break from tension and stress is promised as Jupiter conjuncts Uranus on September 19. Both Jupiter and Uranus oppose the Sun on September 21, and there might be an unexpected turns of events, which may prove to be just what we all needed. It will be impulsive, and a time when new opportunities should be grasped instantly, without pausing to take time for caution.
We usher in the Fall Equinox on September 22, as the Sun moves into well-balanced Libra, and promptly forms a square to Pluto on September 26, which will require perseverance and some strings to get pulled, in order to get around problems. Even on the final day of this month, there will be no let up from the cosmos pressure as the Sun is poised to align with Saturn on October 1. Stand firm! The going might get difficult -- but persistence will pay off. Stand firm.
