ANNUAL HOROSCOPES January 2012 Seeding the Light

How does the year ahead look for you? Read your all original 2012 horoscopes.

Aries – (March 21 – April 19) You feel as though you have been set free, Aries. After what seemed like an eternity of being held back, behind the scenes, 2012 is your year to breakout. There may be a bit of a bumpy ride in the first few months, as you shift into a new place of autonomy. Some of you will write a book, and others will travel far and wide. Enjoy this exciting and breathtaking ride.

Taurus – (April 20- May 20) 2012 is your year to implement long held dreams. Nothing is too grand for your wishes, Taurus. The secret is careful planning and step by step progress. Know that you alone hold the keys that open the door to your future. If single, you will have an offer of true love by years end; there may be an age difference in this union, but know that it is serious and long term.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20) You have been through a cycle of divine protection, and are now ready to emerge into a fresh experience of authority and autonomy. In other words, Gemini, you are calling the shots like never before. There may be a career change in store for you in 2012; the old one just doesn’t excite you like it used to. You are a quick change specialist, so do not linger, and, especially don’t look back.

Cancer – ( June 21 – July 22)  After several years of rapid expansion and taking care of others, it’s your turn to be nurtured, Cancer. You feel like cocooning for much of 2012. If you are of childbearing age, many of you will consider having a baby, and others will acquire pets. You are entering a stellar year for your personal creativity. Take the pressure off for achievement in the outer world, and meet your Inner Guide.

Leo – (July 23 – August 22) Finally you know where you stand in one all important relationship. After years of slow negotiations, the lines are drawn. You may have to cut your losses; if so, know that yours is one of the most lovable signs and suitors wait in both your personal and professional arenas. You will be called to make a deep commitment before the end of 2012; know that this time, it’s the right one.

Virgo – ( August 23 – September 22) Your many years of hard work finally pay off.  You will be thrust into the spotlight in 2012, Virgo, so get used to the idea. Start thinking about a support team; although yours is a personal achievement, you are best served by having people in place that can help you maximize your gains. Finances continue to call for careful monitoring; go for the slow steady approach and do not take unnecessary risks.

Libra – (September 23 – October 22)  Respect and maturity go hand in hand with commitment and responsibility. You are good at taking care of external matters now, but 2012 encourages you to look inward. Some may experience a change of status in health matters; know that this is your body’s way of moving you toward a healthy balance that will promote longevity. Modalities such as yoga and meditation pay off like never before.

Scorpio – (October 23 – November 21) Surrender is the key word to your success for 2012, Scorpio. Yours is one sign that doesn’t like to be told what to do, but in this case, consider that you’re in a bit of a box and there is only one way out – you must listen, and then take action. As you learn to harvest the knowledge of others, the rewards are immense. It’s not all about you anymore, so trust the co-creative process.

Sagittarius – (November 22 – December 21) You can choose to make 2012 the year that your dreams finally manifest. After a time of uncertainty, you finally know exactly which way to turn. Take time out for travel this year, Sag. You must allow that free spirit within you to shine. You are protected in finances; money arrives just when you need it. Some will find the job of their dreams – one that allows for travel. Others find their bonus in free time to do just what you want.

Capricorn – (December 22 – January 19) Accomplishment is your cornerstone, and 2012 is your year for financial consolidation like never before. You now own your piece of heaven in the form of a home or land. As you put down roots, your inner and outer security fulfill you and grant freedom to pursue long held dreams. You may be asked to lend support to a family member.  Take time to share your wisdom with children, too. Enjoy the honor.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 18) Thinking outside the box is advantageous, Aquarius. Some of you enter the year in a position that you could have never imagined before. What appeared to be solid has dissolved, and what you thought was pure fantasy has proved to be so real. Don’t linger over unresolvable mysteries. 2012 is your year to master the art of shapeshifting, so create something truly grand.

Pisces – (February 19 – March 20) Finally, a veil of uncertainty and confusion is lifted. In the blink of an eye, your sight is restored and you see everything in a new light. Although yours is considered a more dreamy and mystical sign, you are giving breath to a new and very powerful presence. Resist the temptation to dull this powerful form by polluting your body or mind with dulling substances. You are bringing a much needed light to the world; accept your role.

Many blessings – Maya

The cadesus of Mercury teaches us that healing is really an art which goes beyond science

Mercury takes a bow as the ruler of our upcoming Lunar Eclipse this weekend. Did you know that Mercury also rules alchemy and that this gender neutral messenger is an escort between the worlds. We are all learning to be shapeshifters! Read more here: http://www.mayawhite.com/articles/innertapestry16.html 

Where and how Mercury is placed in the natal chart reveals how a person makes decisions. In the earth signs, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, Mercury is methodical and always asking the bottom line question:” what does this get me?”

Mercury placed in the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces reveals an individual who must learn to separate emotion from intellect. In addition to constantly asking “how does it feel?” they also ask: “what does it mean?”

People who have Mercury in the air signs of Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius resort to intellect when they should bank on emotion. Their cosmic mission is to understand the development of conscience. They must always ask: “why?, and learn about “why not.”

Mercury in the fire signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are learning lessons of faith. They are learning about ego as well as taking credit and claiming responsibility. The fire sign Mercury asks: “who or what?”

Astro*Oracle 4 Today: THE SUN.

Even though it’s Mercury Retrograde (until Dec 13th) and, the moon is void of course (kind of doubles the retrograde feeling) the oracle card for today says: You Deserve to Shine!

The Sun is where we express our positive ego, will, heart, and individuality. On this card, you can see the 108 divine faces of expression, all looking to the center of illumination. Don’t get bogged down today in intractable meaning, just let it SHINE!

In an astrological chart, the Sun is a place of organization. The Sun sign is a focal point for the chart as it sets up a primary vibration for a lifetime. The Sun sustains form and fosters growth. It ignites our creativity, by opening up a place to shine.

Modern science teaches us that we live in a Universe of Light. The radiant sun is a powerhouse, a source of heat and light. It illuminates our primary expression and as analyzed by house and sign in the horoscope, it identifies the way in which we operate.

The North Node points us to our LIfe Purpose

The North Node in your astrological chart reveals a harmonic point of fulfillment. Many people still long for a way to identify their Life Purpose; that soul level mission that adds a reason for life on this earth.  Isn’t it truly amazing that a mathematical point derived from the relationship of the Sun, Moon, and earth reveals our karmic life purpose.

There are two nodes, the North and South, and they always travel in direct opposition around the 360 degree wheel of the zodiac. The placement of the North node, by sign and house reveals our  mission – that which we came to learn. The South node, which looks like a cup, is a repository of our past – all that we know and find comfortable.

Vedic astrology illustrates the nodes as a dragon; the South node being the dragon’s tail, and the North node the dragon’s head. This Oracle Card image is that of the North node – the dragon’s head. Here is a brief analysis of the lessons of the North node by sign.

If your North node is in Aries, your karmic mission is:
Taking care of yourself and responding to your inspirations. You must develop courage and learn to fight for what you believe in. You will be called to practice skills of political temperance, but you must do so in a manner that honors your truth.

If your North node is in Taurus, your karmic mission is:
Learn trust and practice generosity. You must balance the need for security with a fear of change. You are learning manifestation tempered with ethical practices.

If your North node is in Gemini, your karmic mission is:
Practice communication and sharing. You will learn to balance your words and actions. You are learning just how powerful words can be; and that you must fulfill the promises you make, ie, to ‘keep your word.’

If your North node is in Cancer, your karmic mission is:
Surrender to your need for home and family. You are learning about comfort and safety, and how to prioritize your loyalties. The values by which you gauge success need be know only to you.

If your North node is in Leo, your karmic mission is:
Own your personal power and surrender it to a noble cause. You may seek recognition, but you cannot ever really build a kingdom on it.

If your North node is in Virgo, your karmic mission is:
Purification. You are mastering the arts of health and detail. As a trouble shooter and ‘fixer’, you are making things right while fulfilling the gift of the present.

If your North node is in Libra, your karmic mission is:
Trust in the power of relationship; both personal and professional. Partners are your teachers and you have come to fulfill or rectify past lifetime agreements.

If your North node is in Scorpio, your karmic mission is:
Channel the fire and Light of the Phoenix. You must overcome paralyzing fear and learn to take action, yet recognize self destruction and preserve your sanctity.

If your North node is in Sagittarius, your karmic mission is:
Seek the truth and follow your rainbow. Recognize, however, that Loyalty is your walking staff, and commitment is a meal upon which you can always rely upon.

If your North node is in Capricorn, your karmic mission is:
You deserve to have what you want and taking responsibility is the best way to get it. You are more than a sum total of your birth; your true birth right is grand and your mission is broad. Just don’t take yourself so seriously.

If your North node is in Aquarius, your karmic mission is:
Know that ‘WE are all ONE.’ Really, acting out does not make you special, and when ego gets in the way, the Universe steps up to remind you. You must temper personal will with Divine purpose and fulfill a social mission.

If your North node is in Pisces, your karmic mission is:
Surrender, let go and let GOD. You must do this while resisting the temptation to succumbing to darkness. Trust is your sword and faith is your shield.

With love and all blessings – MW

Taurus Full Moon - November 10, 2011 at 12:16 PM PT

Who can deny excitement with the powerful combination of synchronistic numerology and astrology that is delivered with this month’s Full Moon. Being of a Fixed quality, the Scorpio/Taurus axis is one of manifestation and stability. Although Taurus is traditionally a sign of comfort, the deeper message of this sign is – to move out of our comfort zones.

This was surely acted out in my dream this morning of standing on an ocean front dock, and jumping into the cold sea water. As I stood outside of my body, in the dream state, I was at first shocked that I had moved so quickly to jump into the freezing water; I was even more amazed that it was actually not that cold and I was enjoying the swim.

Taurus loves predictability; however, this Taurus moon brings us to a jumping off place. The light of this Taurus moon will break up old negative habits, and assist you in grounding new positive ones.  The balance of 11/11 is fully manifested by moving forward, not just grazing in the lush field of flowers. Furthermore, the message of this day is to make choices. We learn to appreciate beauty over possessions, pleasure over compulsive control.

Honor this time of Emergence and risking change without fear.

Wishing you peace, balance, and grace manifested through the glimmering lights of a multicolored rainbow.

Transformation is Good for the Soul!

Welcome to Scorpio and the month of depth. One of the best ways to understand the sign of Scorpio and it’s correlation to the 8^th house is to think about the circle of life, death, and regeneration.  Next, the individual utilizes this energy, manifesting a life of goodness, negativity, or indifference. And, when the days come to a close, the form of life energy is again transformed into earth and ashes. Finally, the Phoenix again rises into a new transmutation.

Scorpio and the 8^th house also rules ‘goods of the dead’, with legacies also part of this cycle. And, with the 8^th being a house of mediumship, so is communication with those in the spirit realm.  So, what is a kind Scorpio native to do?

Pulsing beneath the mysterious energy of Scorpio is a ring of fire; Uranus in Aries, Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius and Mars in Leo now provide motivation while Jupiter and Pluto in earthy Taurus/Capricorn provide form to this nexus.

May the fiery trine fuel your faith as the earth signs provide you with calm sustenance; and the watery world of Scorpio take you to the place of your inner truth. Smile, and enjoy the mystery.

The Aries Full Moon is October 11 at 7:06 PM PDT

The Full Moon Is always a time of culmination and this Aries moon comes into focus through the lens of Mars and Venus, the archetypal lovers. Mars, as expressed through the sign of Aries is our energetic and egotistical drive; Venus articulated in the sign of Libra is our desire to please others. Aries is personal; Libra is relatively impersonal.

Aries is also about ego, and finding a healthy way of being in the world. A good place to start is by recognizing the role your sense of self plays in your everyday life. The Sanskrit term for this sense of Self, or feeling of ‘I Am’ is Ahamkāra: the part of your consciousness that is self-aware and deals with wants and desires. It is also referred to as the ego. Although ego has negative connotations when expressed as a desire for personal glory, ego also serves a vital function of preservation. The secret lies in finding a healthy balance, as expressed by the sun sign Libra.

One way to understand and manage the ahamkāra is to practice detachment, which implies a breaking away from or renouncing of needs and desires. However, the true path is that of nonattachment—the idea of not clinging to things or emotions. Instead of rejecting or turning away from the outside world, you are not letting yourself get distracted or upset by it. Power is gained by opening to one’s feelings and thoughts—being more fully aware of them rather than denying them. With this step comes acknowledgment of – that which you resist, persists.

True ego is permanent, steadfast, and calm. With this full moon in Aries, find that part of you that is unmoved by desire, and feel into any inner resistances. Connect with your eternal essence; the part of you that, like a diamond, can cut anything, and is itself uncuttable. This is your Light, and where you will always shine.

Full Moon in Pisces – Ghostbuster

Pisces  opens the fine veil between the manifest world and the spiritual realm, and if you are ready and willing, you can expect to receive spiritual messages and inspiration as this Full Moon peaks. I have shared some of my personal experiences on my web site, under the heading, We Have All Entertained Angels.

If you pay attention, your divine message will also arrive in perfect time. The delivery method of the message may surprise you, but, if you move beyond your disbelief or skepticism, there is important information that awaits. Also, dreams are heightened now.

Although Pisces is an astrological sign of self sacrifice and introspection, I have found that some of the most powerful people I know are born under Pisces. These are individuals who have surrendered to their Higher mission, and they courageously offer their lives to service without hesitation.

There is a difference between honoring the past and lingering in a negative morass of memories. The dark side of Pisces is encumbered by seaweed like tentacles of Neptune; underwater and longing for air, man surrenders to all that is beyond his control.

Wishing you all the blessings of insight and the gift of strength with the amazing Full Moon.

The Virgo New Moon of August 28th moves in with subtle grace. Just as her namesake, the virgin, this lunation comes with promises of fertility and flow. The earth signs have ‘it’ now. With Jupiter luxuriating in the folds of calm Taurus, and Pluto in dynamic Capricorn, this New Moon initiates the flow of a grand earth trine which can calm even the most edgy soul. The secret is – just let it be.

Anyone who really knows a Virgo is acquainted with their unique nature. Virgo’s are known for their discernment; this manifests in eating habits, the way they dress, and even their thoughts. Virgo’s are often a bit nervous, and suffer sensitive digestion. Remember, Virgo is ruled by the planet of constant motion, Mercury.

The Virgo lunation is our time to use the gifts of Mercury and analyze where you stand, and lay a claim to where you want to go. Virgo’s constant analysis can de-evolve into paralyzing perfectionism if you let it. The secret here is to claim the support of Jupiter and the unerring instincts of  Pluto. Transform tension into determination. Even Venus is in Virgo now.

Virgo the virgin is not chaste; rather she is beholden to only her own dreams. Huna, the teaching of the Hawaiian shamanic tradition teaches that a human is a complex arrangement of 3 core parts; the High Self, the Middle Self, and the Lower, or Child Self. When the 3 core Selves are in peaceful communication and agreement, the human lives in a state of empowerment and peace.

This season of Virgo is a time for us all to communicate with all of our core Selves, and manifest heaven on earth. You must be  willing to speak your truth. And most importantly, you must also be able to listen.
