I do love new moons; they give us the opportunity to start our life over again every month.
Sure each new moon wants us to get life together in the area that the new moon has sway over, yet simply the idea of a new beginning is so refreshing.
With the new moon we have the glorious chance to remind ourselves to set into motion once again the good things for us we haven’t gotten around to or have let slide.
The new moon in Scorpio has special potency in several areas. During this time we can capture the essence of
1.) Owning our power, Scorpio is a type of energy that allows for taking charge and control. The lesson of Scorpio is to know what we can’t control, and the right use of power. Where in your life do you need to be more powerful to make things happen?
2.) Scorpio deals with death, and yes rebirth. It is the time of year to contemplate death. How long do we expect to live? If you were to die today what would you regret? What is an absolute that you want to do before you die? How can you get it into motion? Is it something that you need to start a special savings account so you have the funds to do it? Is it something that you have to take a risk outside of your comfort zone to be able to have or do it? Make a promise to yourself under this new moon to take action on what is important to you to do in your life.
3.) Scorpio looks at the concept of what we owe, to other people, such as an emotional obligation but also what we owe to banks and credit cards. The new moon in Scorpio reminds us to clear out our debt and obligation. Make effort in eliminating debt, or renegotiate debt so you feel better about what you do owe.
4.) Scorpio vibration is intuitive and can pick up on what is being hidden. That is why it is connected to secrets; this is a time when you can connect to the secrets of the world.
5.) Connect with your passion, Scorpio teaches us that a healthy obsession can lead to accomplishments. We have all heard about famous people who never gave up, kept trying again and again, obsessively by some standards, until their invention or creation was completed.
This new moon has the Saturn Pluto square with it. A very important aspect that is demanding changes in our life. Pluto in Capricorn wants changes in the old ways of doing things, whether it is your job or your traditions for the holidays. Saturn in Libra wants fairness in relationships. Respect for others and peace is “squaring off” with the demand for change. Pushed with the new moon in Scorpio there can be power struggles in whose idea of which changes and how to make them are correct. Mars and Venus are square also, indicating problems in romantic relationships. Give your partner space and respect for the ideas that they have and stay conscious of a pull that could drag you into power struggles and arguments. The higher purpose of this energy is to transform your fear of needing to be in control or manipulate the situation in order to feel that your life will turn out.
Stay in your power and place of knowing and be assured that if you follow your highest intentions you are on your path. Trust that the right people will also be with you however do not feel you need to drag, manipulate or trick someone into being on a road that you think they need to be on. Also make sure you are not pulled into someone else’s life and path that you know is not the right road for you.
Wishing Love & Light,
Donna

Sun in Libra - Ups and Downs for Peace Loving Libras
As an astrologer I have had the opportunity to hear the life stories of many Libras and have found that when you have your Sun in Libra your identity will be tied up into looking good, being fair, and having the world be fair and peaceful around you. This is not to say that you will have it, just that it will be a theme in your life, you will be wired to notice when circumstances around you are not fair, are not peaceful and you will be prodded, willing or not, to find balance when there is none. The astrology behind the Libra identity reveals so much more.
Many times these concerns are not thought about as they are on a subconscious level, living below the surface of day to day existence. A woman who has her sun in Libra became aware that beauty was important in some people’s eyes early in life. She will either embrace that looking good will be helpful, or be frustrated at the unfairness that pretty people seem to be able to get things easier or are admired more than the ordinary. It is not that other people are not aware of this; it is a problem and concern in our society it is that Libra individuals are attuned to it in a deeper way. Libra’s have been emotionally taught at a young age that someone was prettier, or that they were attractive, or that attractive people will go farther and have an easier time in life. This is of course not universally true, it may be true for some but for others they will have another believe system that they work on, such as the “dumb blonde” belief. Or that looks don’t last forever, personality and charm will get you what you want”. Or “there may be people who are attractive and have lots of people that like them but being an intellectual genius is where it is at and those people have nothing over me”
One of the challenges of being a Libra will be to recognize your way of operating in the world, and whether or not you are making compromises to who you really are or what you really want for the sake of not wanting others not to like you. Many times as a child the Libra person was told to “be nice” don’t make a fuss and was manipulated by someone else with a strong personality that molded the Libra child into making someone else happy, doing what they wanted, so as not to upset the adult. Therefore the adult Libra can find themselves saying I want to do what you want, not out of not having an opinion, but from a long ago programming that taught them when they asserted themselves anger was present or love was removed.
The Libra Sun is here to share the joy that kindness and peace bring. Yet the lesson for the Libra is to be able to stand up for what they want even if it creates discord and ultimately make sure that you create your world where there is harmony and peace around you. It is time to have around you on day to day basis people who value fairness and harmony. Disengage from individuals or circumstances where you feel manipulated or controlled through emotional blackmail.
This is just the beginning of understanding the quest and path for Libra, yet understanding these hidden messages you were taught will free you to be happy and healthy.

Virgo New Moon
This new moon is very special and unique, the sun and moon is exactly conjunct Saturn and opposite Uranus. In addition Mercury, the planet of communication, is in Virgo retrograde moving back towards the rest of the crew. The Saturn Uranus opposition is an energy that is asking us to break free from outdated patterns and concepts, to have balance with what is good about the old ways of doing things and traditions, but putting a modern twist on the old and make it new.
What all this means is that the new moon in Virgo, which is our yearly reminder to pay attention to health, routine, and getting back to a routine for health and work is complex and will be extra important to listen to.
Normally the new moon is hanging out by itself in the sky, unencumbered with other characters getting in the spot light, but this new moon has Saturn, Uranus, and Mercury all wanting a piece of the action and pushing the moon and sun out of the way to have their say.
If you have an astrology program set the place of the new moon for where you live. I set the chart in Washington, DC to glance at the vibration and outcome for the USA. This chart has Pluto on the ascendant in Capricorn, ruled by Saturn in the 9th house with the Sun Moon, Mercury. What this is saying is we will be hearing about foreign issues, supreme court issues, and anything with the legal battles. Also there will be plenty of opposition towards policies or changing of laws, and with Neptune in the house of money, someone is not saying the whole truth around the state of financial affairs, surprise to no one. In general the money will look OK as Jupiter is there, but it isn’t quite as it seems or as people want to believe it is.
There is a lot of punch in this new moon to support you in making serious and lasting changes, even radical changes to your lifestyle. (Sun Moon and Mercury is conjunct Saturn all opposite Uranus WOW)This potential for radical change is during the Mercury retrograde whose message is to reevaluate relationships in our life and who and what we need to be happy, along with making positive changes with Virgo concerns of work and health.
In essence this is a kick a** new moon loaded with enough push to make major changes that can last for years to come. All you need to do is to work with the energy of the planets, during the first 2 ½ days after the new moon is exact which is Friday 18th at 2:44EDT, so you will have time Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to sit quietly, take out your vision board or note book reserved for personal transformation and begin the task of contemplating how and what you want to be different in the Virgo arenas.
Then put the effort forth to start the process, clean out a closet, tackle a stack of paperwork, purchase healthy food and take items in your pantry that you know aren't the right food for you to your local food bank or collection bin at your local grocery store.
Virgo is about paying attention to details, so make a list of everything in your life that you feel is out of order or that you could use some help with to have your life more organized.
Can you get your hands on any paper or document when necessary?
Do you have things organized where you know where everything is?
Are your home, office and car cleaned and detailed?
What about your body, is it in the condition that is healthy and ideal for you?
What radical action could you take that would resolve several problems at the same time?
How to work with this new moon
1.) Observe the critical mind, count how many times in a day you find something wrong with anything, be it yourself, other drivers, an object, the news, anything and everything, observe how the mind is assessing data and saying what is wrong with the world.
2.) Eliminate unhealthy criticism, if something bothers you: if it is in your power then change it or let it be, but give up the never ending energy drain of it isn’t good enough.
3.) Organize Everything, plan it and if you need to hire someone to help, don’t have much money? Ask your friends who would like to barter, one day helping at their house, another day exchange at yours.
4.) Re-commit to healthy habits for your body mind and soul. Remember the 4 cornerstones that will keep you healthy, 1. No smoking, 2. 4 servings of fruit, 5 servings of vegetables daily, 3, moderate exercise, 4 keep your weight in a healthy range.
Astrology is my passion, I help others through writing and sharing the information I receive from above. Please help me and press one of the share buttons to let others know, it just might be what they need to read to help them with a situation in their life.

Pluto Direct
September 11th 2009
Pluto direct:
Meditate this weekend and tap into your personal power.
The previous published article below explains why it is important to tap into the messages of the universe and learn to use the wisdom and guidance for a happier life.
There is a very spiritual and esoteric side of astrology that is not well known to the general public. Much knowledge has been channeled down in the past century and those that want to find answers to secrets that have been hidden for ages can. You can develop personal power through getting in touch with different planets at special times of the day.
It is common knowledge with astrologers that there is no coincidence between the discovery of planets and the conscious development of the human race. Planets have been discovered as the scientific instruments have developed, yet many spiritual astrologers will tell you that the planets did not want to be discovered until humanity was ready to incorporate the essence of what they have to bring. We can see the sun, moon, Venus, mercury, mars, Jupiter and Saturn with the naked eye. As Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were unveiled so was the corresponding principles brought forth in humanity.
Pluto as that body in the sky brings to us a magical and mystical side of manifestation. Great spiritual beings can move into other realms, time travel, create a gold ring out of thin air, heal the sick and master other miraculous powers. It is possible to tap into the power and mystery of Pluto.
What is personal power? Personal power has several definitions yet one is the ability to call forth the power that you want and need to accomplish whatever you set your mind to.
Power is under the domain of Pluto. Individuals who were born with a strong Pluto have an easier time in manifesting what they want if they have become conscious of this energy within, If they are not conscious of it, they will find struggles with others a constant theme in their lives.
Yet even if Pluto is not strong in your chart, you can consciously pull in the energy of Pluto and learn how to focus it towards your goals.
You will need a simple astrology calculation program. Next you will need to know the position and placement of Pluto in your natal chart. There will be 8 times each day that you will be able to tap into Pluto and channel the power and gift from that planet. When Pluto is rising, which means it is on the ascendant, when Pluto is on the mid heaven, setting, on the descendent and on the IC, the fourth house cusp. Then again all these positions are at the degree of your natal Pluto. For example, if transiting Pluto is at 4 degrees of Capricorn, you will want to find out when it will rise, be at the mid heaven, set, and at the IC. You will do this using your astrology program. Second set of times, will be the degree of your natal Pluto, if your natal Pluto is 2 degrees Libra, find out at what times of the day 2 degrees Libra is rising, on the mid heaven, setting and the IC. These times will give you several to choose from, the preference would be for transiting Pluto rising.
At that time sit quietly, focus within, breathe deep, and with each breath feel enormous power enter into your body through your third eye. Pull the power in, to the center of your brain, then let it follow permeate the cells of your brain, then through the body.
Practicing this meditation will infuse you with the power that Pluto carries and you will be able to then use your focus to visualize and use conscious meditation to receive answers and ideas that you need to have what you want in life.

Astrologer Thoughts on Mercury Retrograde
Mercury moves retrograde three times every year (on average) for about three weeks at a time. This is a time in astrology when astrologers tell you to catch up with all the little details that have been scattered in your life. In essence when you get in touch with astrology you will go with the flow of life and learn how to listen to the messages from the planets. The message from Mercury retrograde is: Do not start additional projects; complete what you have been working on for the past three months. Also it is not the best time to purchase anything new or major; use what you have, repair or get rid of items in your home and office that no longer work or no longer are useful to your present needs.
Mercury is retrograde from the sign of Libra and stations direct in Virgo; which is one of the signs that mercury rules, the other being Gemini. This retrograde will be a precursor of events to come and our intuitive guide for the major shift happening October 29th when Saturn moves into Libra. (An event that happens ever 28 years)
Astrology is a complex subject and one of the secrets to learn astrology and become an excellent astrologer is to interpret each retrograde separately with the astrology chart for the time of the retrograde. September 7th at 12:45am EDT Mercury stations and retrogrades; cast an astrology chart for this time for where you are living or use the location of the capitol for the country you live in.
The chart placed in Washington DC gives the ascendant zero degrees of Cancer. This is a very sensitive degree in astrology. Pluto is at 0 degrees Capricorn conjunct the 7th house cusp, the line of other people. Further Mercury is square Mars in the first house indicating aggressive communication. The communication of Mercury in Libra want to be nice and fair, and Mars in Cancer can be passive aggressive, so expect mixed signal and messages. When you feel uncomfortable or unsure of what someone is saying dig deeper to be very clear about what is expected. Mercury is moving from the sign of Libra to conjunct Saturn in Virgo. This signature is implying there will be a collective rethinking on serious issues in your personal life as well as rethinking issues in the government roles and work policies. It is indicating problems in Washington DC for the health care reform bill.
On a personal level it is important to ask: Where in your life do you side step issues because you want everything to be fine with no problems versus getting real about a problem and working hard at it? Are you afraid of saying the truth for fear of not looking good? Critical thinking is necessary to understand the nature of your relationships and to have people in your life that are right for you.
There are action steps to take for this Mercury retrograde. First and foremost is to catch up on loose ends, projects or promises that will help you achieve the goals you have. Recommit to personal health goals. Think about how you communicate with people you are in partnerships with. What is working in those partnerships and what is not quite right?
How can you have partnerships that are fair and balanced? Do you have that balance in your life? Are you fair to yourself when you talk to yourself and your mind is assessing all that you have done, want to do, and think you are supposed to do?
Astrology gives us another perspective on managing our lives productively. You don't need to be an astrologer to understand these ancient and time tested principles of stepping back, taking a deep breath, and allowing time to catch up with your busy life.
This mercury retrograde I challenge you to use these three weeks to get caught up in all areas of your life that have loose ends. Astrology will help you stay on track with your spiritual development and help you in unfolding your greatest talents to have the life you were meant to life.

Astrology and Saturn in Libra
The astrology of Saturn in Libra suggests that relationships will feel pressure to change for the better or break apart. Astrologers interpret astrology charts and the planetary cycles inherent in the changing sky.
As in life there are cycles in astrology. Astrologers look at the shifts in the planetary patterns to help understand what changes will occur for humanity. Saturn entering into Libra is one such cycle that impacts our relationships and love life.
Saturn enters Libra October 29th 2009 at 1:09PM Eastern time and will stay in Libra until April 6th 2010 when it dips back into Virgo, then re enters Libra July 7th 2010 and will stay in Libra until October 5th 2012. In essence we have three years that spirit is asking us to focus on and put energy towards peace, fairness, and a well balanced life.
The astrology chart for the moment that Saturn steps over the boundaries from Virgo and enters Libra is a relatively strong chart. Saturn will be able to accomplish its task in Libra, which is to create harmonious relationships, break up relationships that are no longer useful or positive for you. You will become acutely aware of any relationship which is unfair and seek to balance the scales of equality and have peace and harmony in your life.
The planet that has the least amount of strength, and therefore will be thwarted the most will be Mercury. Mercury is in Scorpio traveling next to the Sun. Our ideas will be deep and intuitive yet not be able to come to fruition. You may come up with several concepts of what to do that will help your life, career, relationships. Various ideas and ways to make your future dreams come true enter your mind however the timing could be off and you may need to table your brilliance until other circumstances allow you to act upon them.
Astrologers use a term called mutual reception when planets are in the signs that each other rules. This is happening with Mars (in Leo) and the Sun (in Scorpio). Saturn in Libra's has a duty to reestablish harmony and balance in relationships and Mars has the force and the Sun provides the will to make it happen. These astrological symbols can indicate that your desire to have balance and harmony in your life is met with considerable opposition; that the will of another could be quite stubborn and have an agenda to keep the relationship the same.
Venus, the ruler of Libra, is also in Libra. This is emphasizing the Saturn in Libra purpose of establishing healthy partnerships and especially romantic relationships. It is common to hear more news of divorce as Saturn moves through Libra as it uncovers unhealthy patterns that have been ignored.
How can you use this astrology information? Know that for the next 3 years it will be very important to have the right relationships in your life. If you are in relationships that are not fair, unkind, or in general do not give you what your heart wants and needs this astrology cycle will severely challenge you. The good news is that you will be prompted to make changes so you have people in your life that you enjoy, appreciate, and love.

Mercury moves retrograde three times every year (on average) for about three weeks at a time. This is a time to catch up with all the little details that have been scattered in your life. In essence when you get in touch with astrology you will go with the flow of life and learn how to listen to the messages from the planets. The message from Mercury retrograde is: Do not start additional projects; complete what you have been working on for the past three months. Also it is not the best time to purchase anything new or major; use what you have, repair or get rid of items in your home and office that no longer work or no longer are useful to your present needs.
Mercury is retrograde from the sign of Libra and stations direct in Virgo; which is one of the signs that mercury rules, the other being Gemini. This retrograde will be a precursor of events to come and our intuitive guide for the major shift happening October 29th when Saturn moves into Libra. (An event that happens ever 28 years)
Astrology is a complex subject and one of the secrets to learn astrology and become an excellent astrologer is to interpret each retrograde separately with the astrology chart for the time of the retrograde. September 7th at 12:45am EDT Mercury stations and retrogrades; cast an astrology chart for this time for where you are living or use the location of the capitol for the country you live in.
The chart placed in Washington DC gives the ascendant zero degrees of Cancer. This is a very sensitive degree in astrology. Pluto is at 0 degrees Capricorn conjunct the 7th house cusp, the line of other people. Further Mercury is square Mars in the first house indicating aggressive communication. The communication of Mercury in Libra want to be nice and fair, and Mars in Cancer can be passive aggressive, so expect mixed signal and messages. When you feel uncomfortable or unsure of what someone is saying dig deeper to be very clear about what is expected. Mercury is moving from the sign of Libra to conjunct Saturn in Virgo. This signature is implying there will be a collective rethinking on serious issues in your personal life as well as rethinking issues in the government roles and work policies. It is indicating problems in Washington DC for the health care reform bill.
On a personal level it is important to ask: Where in your life do you side step issues because you want everything to be fine with no problems versus getting real about a problem and working hard at it? Are you afraid of saying the truth for fear of not looking good? Critical thinking is necessary to understand the nature of your relationships and to have people in your life that are right for you.
