Well… the big changes just keep rolling in for us… This week scrumptious Venus fairly boogies into passionate Aries, we have a bold and fiery Leo Full Moon, and Saturn stops and sits still in the sky…

 

Tuesday, February 7th Saturn turns retrograde at the end of Libra for about four and a half months until June 25th.  We’ll be in the energy of examining our goals, motives and methods for wanting and achieving those goals.  We can also expect to see an improvement in our responsibility and discipline as we go after those goals.  After Saturn turns Direct in four months, we be hitting the ground running! 

And on this same day, February’s Full Moon shines at mid-Leo.  The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is, “A houseboat party crowded with revelers; the water reflects its lights.”  We’re talking big opportunities for joy here, folks!  Our creative hearts will be unleashed.  We’ll be ready to play.  The theme this week is about having fun and letting go.  Find a reason to celebrate and be in joy, bliss and ecstacy!  I am there!  You too!? 
Then on Wednesday, February 8th, Venus moves into Aries until March 5th. This is another affirmation and universal corroboration for us that this is just an excellent time to initiate whatevever brings us joy (hear it?? …there’s that joy word again!).  So we should be fiery, passionate and unafraid of expressing our emotions.  Dig into relationships, finances, and creativity and be bold!

…………………………………………………………………………………….


And now this week, I want to talk about how this big, plump, fiery and juicy full Leo Moon will be affecting each sign – and as always,  this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…

ARIES

Love is in the air for you!  So is extreme creativity – and new joys beckoning.  Be sure to get out where you’ll find them all!

TAURUS

Your home and family can be a place of happiness and affection for you.  Redecorating could also be on the agenda opening doors to new energy.

LIBRA

Friends can make your life juicy and delicious now.  Groups and associations could also bring new financial opportunities to you.  So be sure to get out and mingle.

SCORPIO

New career opportunities could bring you joy.  Recognition, raises, promotions – or just a brand new job that actually makes you happy – could be nearby!

DAILY-HOURLY ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING FEBRUARY 5, 2012

 

05 Feb             Moon Sextiles Mars               04:02 pm MST     22 Cancer01

A firm, easy gait marks the day if you let the energy around you carry you along without

questioning it too much. That will be the general spirit of things, and if you join in it can get

you into situations with staying power that do not need extra energy to sustain long-term. Let

the general pace set yours.

06 Feb             Moon Trines Venus                02:29 am MST     27 Cancer49

Knowing what you want and moving on to procure it is the opportunity of the day, and what

you fall into now may be just the chance you ve been waiting for. Sharing goals and deciding

to mutually go for it will be the best of all possible worlds for everybody, with a minimum of

conflict resulting later.

06 Feb             Moon Squares Saturn            05:31 am MST     29 Cancer30

Sour grapes can be today s flavor, and if you run into something that displeases, just drop it –

don t push it past the edge. People are feeling insecure, so avoid encouraging any negativity

you encounter. New directions are not in order, as they won t go far, so wait just a bit longer

to start your engine.

06 Feb             Moon Enters Leo                    06:24 am MST

Creative and uncensored feelings can make for an almost party atmosphere if you follow the

flow and avoid the usual impediments for the next couple of days. The world is looking for a

lover, and you can put yourself into that picture however you choose. Make a breakout, or

just let the rising tide carry you along.

06 Feb             Moon Trines Uranus               10:01 am MST     02 Leo02

This is a great day for bounding into unexplored territory, and you will find others are doing

the same. Inventiveness and originality are favored, as are projects and personal

involvements which partake of them. If you haven t tried it, now s the time, whatever “it” may

be. Open your eyes, listen up, try a taste.

06 Feb             Moon Squares Jupiter            12:24 pm MST     03 Leo22

It s easy for everyone to get too wound up in their feelings and you could find yourself chasing

your tail in circles until you fall down. Even if you think you ve got a big one on the hook, cut

your line if it takes too long to reel him in. Diminishing returns can tire everyone out, turn hope

to disappointment, so avoid them.

07 Feb             Mercury Conjuncts Sun                     02:03 am MST     17 Aquarius59

High mental energy burns hot, a real brain boiler. The trick is to keep up with everyone

without missing a stitch or dropping the ball. Great ideas abound, but don t buy everything

you see until you give it a second, cooler look. Everyone can be too close to the subject to

realize that what recommends it is only the heat of the moment.

07 Feb             Saturn Retrograde                  05:49 am MST     29 Libra30 Ñ

07 Feb             Moon Opposes Sun               02:54 pm MST     18 Leo32

Full Moon in Leo

Whatever the weather outside, this full “Snow” Moon is painted by the conflict between the

urge to just have fun and the perceived duty to do everything just so and give everyone their

due, whether they merit it or not. Social pressures arise when individual constraints become

just too much and people have to break out of the mold, sometimes unexpectedly. If this were

hurricane season, you d have a hurricane party, but it s not so you ll have to think up another

suitable excuse to let off steam and let others do so, too. Kids can turn the simplest situations

into a play-party, and you reap your profits now when you do the equivalent.

07 Feb             Moon Opposes Mercury        03:42 pm MST     18 Leo59

What is said and what is felt may not at all be the same today, so watch out for inner

contradictions coming from those around you. Putting pen to paper may mean a rewrite down

the line, so be careful what you sign, and intentions and reality may not be on the same page.

A better time for winding things up than diving in.

07 Feb             Venus Enters Aries                11:01 pm MST

Passions run high for the next few weeks, with flashes of intense desire suddenly trailing off

into satiation or ennui. So if you re looking for intensity, now s the time to jump into the pool -

but commitment after you re there may be hard to hold on to. Hunger pangs, once fed, lose

their urgency.

08 Feb             Moon Sextiles Saturn                         09:43 am MST     29 Leo30

The general air today is, let s say, overcast but not unpleasant. Take advantage of the

relatively stable-but-cool emotional environment to mend fences, solidify old friendships, and

give a pat on the back. Faint praise is probably sufficient, as going overboard looks suspect.

Err on the safe side, others will do the same.

08 Feb             Moon Enters Virgo                  10:33 am MST

If you regularly pick up each stitch, you won t be tripped up over the next few days. If not,

watch out for entanglements in small print and minor details that suddenly loom larger if you

overlook them. The feeling of a job well done awaits you, but only after you do it. If you re

ahead of expectations, you ll have it locked up tight.

08 Feb             Moon Opposes Neptune        10:52 am MST     00 Virgo11

As soon as the fog lifts, it s back again, and trying to steer a straight course will be hard for all,

so double-check information and go slow to avoid collisions. Misunderstood and/or misstated

feelings should be expected, so hurt feelings can be avoided. The ground is soft underfoot,

so step cautiously.

08 Feb             Moon Trines Jupiter                04:46 pm MST     03 Virgo40

Emotional tides are strong and upbeat, and all you have to do is ride them as if you were born

to sail. Foundations laid today will be firm and supportive and continue to evolve that way.

Feelings of friendship abound and it s easy to see the good side of anyone — just remember

there may be other sides, too.

09 Feb             Moon Trines Pluto                  01:08 am MST     08 Virgo38

A sure confidence that all will be well, whatever happens, fills the air, and faith in yourself and

others is exactly what will make that come true. A great day for starting things that require

sustained confidence and follow-through. Mutual assurance breeds conviction and a platform

for all to share.

09 Feb             Venus Conjuncts Uranus       07:29 pm MST     02 Aries11

Original tastes and sudden desires decorate the day, marking a change of pace for anyone

with an adventurous heart. Eschew the ordinary and go for something off the wall, not off the

shelf. Don t knock it if you haven t tried it. New sensations will be a major focus of startups,

leaders in a new sensibility.

09 Feb             Moon Conjuncts Mars            10:12 pm MST     21 Virgo11

Rash moves, overblown feelings, emotional conflict, and anger can be lurking around the

corner, so today s a good day to take it easy and not push, or be pushed, too far. Similarly,

don t let high energy push you in where angels fear to tread — overconfidence can get you

into hot water. Count to ten, then go ahead.

10 Feb             Moon Enters Libra                  12:55 pm MST

Give and take are what s expected for the next couple of days, so expect to mix it up if you re

going to make much headway. That doesn t mean conflict, just active participation and the

willingness to change and be changed from moment to moment. It s what both love and war

(and business) are made of, you choose the game, and the playing field.

10 Feb             Moon Opposes Uranus          04:37 pm MST     02 Libra13

Moods swing erratically and otherwise stable situations may suddenly fall apart when you

least expect it, so whatever you are doing make sure you have a couple of backup plans just

in case. Don t return harshness in kind, as it is only passing and now is not the time to make

or take offense. Choppy waters.

10 Feb             Moon Opposes Venus           06:25 pm MST     03 Libra18

Feelings and desires may tug and roil around you, and trying to cut an even balance may be

a challenge. Today s beginnings may mature into tomorrow s turmoils, so don t fly off the

handle and don t jump into something you re not sure of. Let the waters settle until tomorrow,

then decide on it.

11 Feb             Moon Squares Pluto               03:24 am MST     08 Libra41

Skullduggery may be afoot, and, at any rate, those out for their own ends at all costs are to

be avoided. And, avoid being one yourself. The inclination to beat a dead horse and use

repeated force to no avail is really self-defeating, although tempting. When in doubt, back off

and let others waste their efforts

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of February 20th ~ Jupiter-Pluto Square ~ and More SuperMoon Full Moon in Leo… Forecast for each Sign…

This is the SkyeWatch Energy Report for the Week beginning Sunday, February 20th, 2011… And you can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report right on my website, www.skyemackenna.com

And… you can subscribe to the blog and receive SkyeWatch emailed to you… and you can also subscribe to SkyeWatch on itunes podcasts now…

So… we’ve got the wind at our backs, we’re holding onto our hats, here’s the week ahead…

and this then is for the week beginning Sunday, February 20th, 2011…


.     .     .    .     .

Well, we have a very eventful week ahead of us.  It’s really a powerful week, especially since we’re still experiencing the energy of the Leo SuperFull Moon!  …and also one of 2011′s most powerful astrological events – a Jupiter-Pluto square – is happening this week – and these two big guys were part of the powerful Cardinal Cross aspect of last summer (if you remember that one!), so now they’re in the process of reactivating that energy.  And also, both Mars and Mercury are changing signs – just after they form a potent triple conjunction with Neptune in late Aquarius! Whew!

…and here we go!

.     .     .     .     .


The week gets right off to a powerful start with that triple conjunction Sunday, February 20th, when Mercury and Mars form that compelling conjunction to Neptune in late Aquarius… it may be nearly impossible for us NOT to communicate what’s on our minds!  This combination will help us cut to the chase and/or through any red tape in our lives or heads! …but hopefully tempered with some of Neptune’s gentleness…  And it’s also a beautiful time to turn within and/or take action in our spiritual lives.  Inner awareness will be available to us, and this can actually come from physical activity, like yoga or tai chi – or even hiking or walking in nature.  These couple of days will also offer incredible energy for any creative endeavors and our imagination can take flight – along with rich psychic experiences, if we’d like that!  The one caveat would be about making commitments or important decisions right now.  Get a trusted ‘buddy check’ before signing on the dotted line!

 

Then on Monday, February 21st, Mercury moves into Pisces where he’ll remain until March 9th… Our intuition, imagination, and dreamworld will likely be very active.  And this is a wonderful energy for any creative work, from artistic projects to writing, to healing and the intuitive arts.  We’ll be able touch beyond boundaries now and come to some very creative solutions or see new ideas practically fall into our laps!

 

We should also expect the manner we communicate will be more sensitive – or confused!  It will be a wonderful time to take some time for ourselves, especially by just about ANY body of water – even a bathtub! – where we can be alone with our thoughts.  Using this energy proactively can also give an assist to us out of any confusion or indecision that might arise…

 

And on Tuesday, February 22nd, Mercury conjuncts Chiron and Mars enters Pisces until April 1st … Mars moving into Pisces is going to re-emphasize the energy we began the week with when Mars was conjunct Neptune – it’s the same combined energies – and it’s once again encouraging us to combine our spiritual and physical energies in some way.  Otherwise… if we don’t get proactive here… our path could seem somewhat blurry, foggy or we might feel fluffy and indecisive.  Or… like we’re floating or spaced out in some way.  But using this energy deliberately can help us arrive at some surprising, magical new places!

 

And combined with Mercury’s dance with Chiron, we’re being offered an opportunity to heal our thoughts, our thinking, or our words…. And a spanking new awareness of how we’re truly creating our reality can tenderly thump us right between the eyes!

 

And… the biggie day of the week occurs on Friday, February 25th,, when not only do we have four significant aspects – but ALSO one of this year’s most powerful events – the Jupiter-Pluto square, falling in the action signs of Aries and Capricorn…and we should expect this energy to be with us and very potent for about the next month.  This is an extraordinarily intense energy.  We felt it last August at the infamous “Cardinal Cross or Climax” aspect, which called on us to surrender something – or even someone – in some way.  And it’s BACK!  This time, hopefully, we’ve integrated the energy of the earlier aspect, and now can use it for powerful opportunity and transformation… and put some polish on the work we began – or that was begun for us!   This is a time of big trust for us…Big changes are here.

 

And also today, Mercury conjuncts the Sun, and they both sextile Pluto. That’s an aspect of opportunity.  And this makes for some very heady energy… Our minds will be burning hot, deep and passionate.  Our concentration will be laser sharp and we can reach a new level of purpose.  And/but, should we find ourselves in delicate situations that require sensitivity, not so much!  It will be important that we recognize the power we hold, and tread a little softer.  Or just wait a while to work things out!

.     .     .     .     .


Now this week, since we’re still very much under the influence of that powerful Leo Super Full Moon – I want to continue the information for each sign.  And you can re-read or relisten to last week’s SkyeWatch for more Full Moon forecasts… and as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…

Aries

You’ll be finding more passion in your life – or new ways to find pleasure.  Doors can open in a creative project or your romance.  It’s all about the heart now!

Taurus

Closure – and then a new beginning – can come to you regarding home, family or property issues.  You may also find yourself in a position to balance career and home – and either place could be more emotional now.

Gemini

Pay attention to communications and transportation issues.  Stay flexible in your decisions and agreements.  Circumstances may change, end, making way for new beginnings.

Cancer

Look for a resolution to a money matter, possibly coming from a communication you’ve been waiting for.  Information about a contract may arrive to your benefit.

Leo

This Super Full Moon is your Moon, Leo!  New beginnings are here for you.  Take advantage of an opportunity presented to you.  Start fresh!  Be bold!

Virgo

Information you’ve been waiting for finally arrives.  Pay attention to your dreams – and take some “alone time” if you can.  This is what will open those doors for you now.

Libra

Changes in your circle of friends and groups can be expected.  Heightened emotions are on the agenda related to a dream or wish you’ve held.  A friend could offer assistance behind the scenes.

Scorpio

A change in career or status may present itself.  Recognition or achievement can be yours now, and new ideas for your career future may come to you.

Sagittarius

Travel or education, people or things at a distance can bring new opportunity.  If you or someone close to you have a legal issue, it can be successfully resolved.

Capricorn

Joint finances, shared resources and deep emotions may have your attention.  Look for money from others to benefit you.  It could relate to inheritances or taxes.

Aquarius

Close relationships will have your attention, and you may close a chapter to the past that needs closing.  This could help your bottom line in a number of ways

Pisces

Daily routine and work will be important.  Look for resolution and change in your schedule to allow new beginnings.  Try something new related to your health.

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of February 13th ~ SuperMoon Full Moon in Leo… Forecast for each Sign…

This is the SkyeWatch Energy Report for the Week beginning Sunday, February 13th, 2011… And you can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report right on my website, www.skyemackenna.com


And… you can subscribe to the blog and receive SkyeWatch emailed to you… and you can also subscribe to SkyeWatch on itunes podcasts now…


So… we’ve got the wind at our backs, we’re holding onto our hats, here’s the week ahead… and this then is for the week beginning Sunday, February 13th, 2011…

and, in addition to this being THE week of Love and Valentine’s Day… we also have the first of six SuperMoons happening with the Full Moon in Leo later in the week – and the fifth Full Moon that’s occurred at the last and final 29th degree of a sign… and this reminds us that endings and new beginnings have been the flavor of the past few months – and of the year ahead of us…


…a week is unfolding ahead of us of inspiration and remarkable creativity – and some endings and new beginnings as well!


.     .     .     .     .


And… we start off on Monday February 14th (with a Happy Valentine’s Day to us all of us!) and with Aquarian Mercury forming a promising trine aspect to a grounded Libran Saturn – and that can bring some welcome stability to our words, worlds – and maybe our relationships as well – not at all a bad thing on this particular day!

We should have clear mental focus today… and be able to be logical and practical in the quest of our goals.  Suddenly things can make sense to us!  And/or we can make an almost magical spiritual connection… and realize the flowing divine love that envelops us – and IS us!

We might also be able to draw on our past successes to help us see that clear, strong path forward.

Then on Thursday, February 17th, the radiant Sun will conjunct mystical Neptune … and we’ll be inspired – or inspirational – by their soft whispers.  Our creativity will flow – whether in the arts or life in general!  Self-expression of all kinds will be swirling around us…

More insights and ah-ha moments, too!  This delicious energy will wrap around us for a few days so we should jump in with both feet and allow it to gently open doors for us!

And finally, on Friday, February 18th, the biggie day of the week arrives with not only the SuperFull Moon in Leo, but Venus squares off with Saturn, and the Sun moves into enchanting, sensitive Pisces… all in all a very Big Day of creativity and inspiration… powerful changes can begin today…


And this full moon is the first of six SuperMoons this year.  Astronomically, for a SuperMoon to occur, the Moon must be closer to earth (that’s called perigee) and also in line with the sun and the earth (syzygy)…. And during this Super Full Moon, as with all Super Full Moons, the full moon will appear larger, brighter, and closer – and will also increase gravitational pulls, higher ocean tides, erratic weather patterns (oh goody) – and even stronger emotional reactions than other regular old full moons.  And will be more strongly felt within three days on either side of the full moon.

Also, this Super Full Moon is even more compelling because not only does it occur at the last degree of Leo …but it is also the fifth consecutive full moon that occurs at the last degree of a sign – and the last degree of any sign brings finality and closure and tells us that we must go forward now.  The energy around us for the past year is about change and revolution in our worlds.  And since this particular Full Moon is in Leo of the Heart, it’s yet another indicator telling us that it’s time to let the past go.  We won’t be able to go back anyway…

And this Leo Full Moon is also opening the way – and expecting – active creative expression from us… and this powerful creative Super Moon is also in aspect with every planet in the sky.  This is a very potent Full Moon of the Heart… and may very well lead to changes and endings – changes that will allow new beginnings of the heart to enter our lives.  This is a very good thing!

So, we should embrace the fullness of this Heartfelt Super Full Moon – and our creative selves – make new creative changes – and allow the past to be just that!  …the past.  And then hug our incredible future!

And also with Venus squaring off with deliberate Saturn today, we’ll be offered, encouraged – or maybe forced – to use our inner muscles for some ordered change – and emphasizing our last-degree, Super Full Moon…

Finally, and also today, the life-giving Sun moves into spiritual Pisces – and its gift to us can be a glowing magic and mystery… a universal compassion… and a divinely inspired creative energy to use as we will.

So, all in all, this is the day – and the week – to open our heart of hearts – and welcome what may be some unanticipated creativity in our lives.

.     .     .     .     .


Now this week, I want to talk about this first of six SuperMoons we have ahead of us this year… This one is especially powerful since it’s the fifth in line taking place at the last degree of a sign.  And in Leo, it’s all about our hearts, individually and collectively – and as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…


Aries

Love, romance, fun, pleasure, and children, are on the agenda for you!  This powerful full moon could bring news regarding a social event or invitation, and may also find you completing a creative project – or romance finally blossoming.

Taurus

Home, family, and property – and a completion of conditions involving your career or job, or an achievement are emphasized.  And it could also be an emotional time with lots of drama. Parenting issues and/or contracts may be finalized related to your home or real estate matters.

Gemini

You’ll find communication, news, ideas and agreements, transportation and local travel important now, and it will be important to remain flexible to changing circumstances.  Emotions may run high and conversations could be heated but you’ll be able to make an important decision. Transportation issues could be complicated.

Cancer

Your income and material goods are on the agenda for you.  You could receive communication about a payment or you may find yourself signing contracts, and/or commissions, sales, bonuses, or a settlement may be resolved in your favor.

Leo

This Super Full Moon is all about you, Leo!  And you may have more than one issue or opportunity knocking at your door.  Something very important to you can finally come to fruition, and/or an intimate relationship will either blossom – or be unable to be repaired – to allow new beginnings.

Virgo

Secrets, healing and wellness will come to your attention.  Information you’ve been waiting for finally arrives and could relate to the conclusion of a physical or psychological challenge.  Dreams may speak to you in powerful ways and bring valuable messages.  Be sure to listen!

Libra

Your hopes and wishes, as well as your friends and groups are highlighted.  Some confusion in a group, as well as heightened emotions about a friendship may have to be dealt with, but a heart-felt hope may finally be in a position to bloom now.

Scorpio

Career, status, and recognition will be on the agenda, and an achievement or recognition can succeed.  You may come to the point of knowing what you want and making changes in your career, and you may decide to change jobs or revamp your schedule.

Sagittarius

Look for education, travel, things or people at a distance to be significant.  Also, something you may have dedicated yourself to may come to its successful conclusion and expand your world in some way.  A legal issue could also finally be resolved.

Capricorn

Shared resources, joint finances and deep emotional issues are highlighted.  Money from others can benefit you, and there could be financial decisions made that will affect you and a partner.  This could also be an intensely emotional time with heated conversations about finances. But look for money to arrive.

Aquarius

Partnerships, marriage and close relationships will have your attention.  You may find a chapter closing now regarding a relationship – whether personal, employment or financial, especially if it’s weak.  You may decide to leave, and if news arrives, you may have to act quickly, but you can handle the challenges.

Pisces

Work, employment issues, health will be influenced now.  A health matter, yours or someone close to you, can come to a conclusion.  Daily routines and your schedule can come up for attention.  Employment issues may be changing and expanding.  Take extra care of your own health, especially if you feel more emotional now.

Hello World! …SkyeWatch Energy Report for the Week of December 5th, 2010

This is the SkyeWatch Energy Report for the Week beginning Sunday, December 5th,  2010… And you can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report right on my website, www.skyemackenna.com

And… you can subscribe to the blog and receive SkyeWatch emailed to you… and you can also subscribe to SkyeWatch on itunes podcasts now…

So… we’ve got the wind at our backs, we’re holding onto our hats, here’s the week ahead in eight minutes or less …

and this then is for the week beginning Sunday, December 5th, 2010…

.     .     .     .     .


Now… this week, we have a New Moon in Sagittarius, Uranus changes to direct motion, Mars will move into Capricorn — but the big news is that Mercury, who is very powerfully aspected right now, turns retrograde….

On Sunday December 5th, we have a bright, shiny New Moon in Sagittarius — this new moon will bring us ideas for education — and inspiration for internal and external growth and expansion — and maybe even travel.  If we allow it to come to us, we will sense a buoyant optimism bubbling up and available to us.  We have new vision and new hope — and this New Moon asks us to think big, and think outside the box

… and also on Sunday, December 5, Uranus will turn direct, and our awareness and intuitive thinking come to the forefront.  Action and movement in high-tech, television, and science is at our doorstep — and for these few days.  We should be prepared to expect the unexpected.  We will be ready to make changes that have been simmering below the surface for the last few months.  And this can be a very big change in direction for us and our lives


… then on Friday, December 10th, Mercury turns retrograde at 5° of Capricorn

This Mercury retrograde is even more significant this time around because it’s also been moving with Pluto for about a week.   So of this Mercury retrograde is very powerfully about transformation.  And we need to watch for anything or anyone that pushes our buttons over this month — because they’re coming up for transformation and healing.  And we won’t be able to say no to this transformation this time around.

And of course, this is the time to pay close attention to our communications, our computers, and their vehicles — and avoid starting major new projects if we can… although projects already begun will be getting a powerful boost of energy, so be ready to make the most of it.  We’ll want to take extra care when traveling, back up critical data and make sure they were saying exactly what we’re intending to say — as usual for Mercury retrograde periods.  And we should remember that Mercury retrograde periods are not all bad — they’re all wonderful time for planning and finishing things that we’ve already started.

And since this Mercury retrograde is in Capricorn, he’s asking us to be practical and to look at any outworn structures in our lives, and be ready to replace them with new ones that serve us better — after he moves to forward motion on December 29th.

… and then on Tuesday, December 7th,  Mars leaves Sagittarius and moves into ambitious Capricorn — and this too will give us disciplined and structure as we move forward with our ambitions.  The energy of Mars in Capricorn, works well with Mercury retrograde in Capricorn… both are traveling in the same direction.  The one drawback with these placements is the possibility of the possibility of being a little more insensitive — so, we will want to keep an eye on that for best results.

.     .     .     .     .


Now this week, I want to talk about how each sign may experience this Mercury retrograde — and as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…

Hello World! …SkyeWatch Energy Report for the Week of July 18th, 2010

This is the SkyeWatch Energy Report for the Week beginning Sunday, July 18th,  2010… And you can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report right on my website, www.skyemackenna.com

And… you can subscribe to my free weekly newsletter and receive SkyeWatch emailed to you… and you can also subscribe to SkyeWatch on itunes podcasts now…

So… we’ve got the wind at our backs, we’re holding onto our hats, here’s the week ahead in eight minutes or less … and this then is for the week beginning Sunday, July 18th,  2010…

.  .  .  .  .

Well, this week, we’re officially in one of the most anticipated energy patterns of our lifetimes – the infamous Grand Cardinal Cross is in ignition sequence as of this week…

Its launch officially commences with Saturn entering Libra and a Jupiter-Pluto square that takes place this week…

And this week, we’re also looking at the asteroid Chiron – also known as the Wounded Healer – backing up into Aquarius – and if that’s not enough energy for you… there’s also a full moon in dazzling Leo next weekend

Now, on Tuesday, July 20th, the asteroid Chiron moves from Pisces back into Aquarius for nearly 10 months… so we should be on the lookout  for unconventional approaches, unconventional insights and a seat-of-your-pants approach to healing whatever in us needs to be healed – and unique abilities and talents we didn’t know we had to be unfolding.   We might also find healings within our circle of friends – or our hopes, wishes and dreams.  And this is the last time Chiron will be in Aquarius for almost 50 years – so we have until next February when he returns to Pisces for good to welcome these Aquarian changes.

And this week, the Cardinal Cross energy officially takes off on Wednesday, July 21st, when Saturn enters Libra – where he’ll remain till October 5th of 2012.  And for individuals who’ve been wishing and hoping for a new significant relationship – or improvements in the one they’ve got! – this is great news!  During these two years, we’ll actually be connecting with and achieving relationships we’ve only dreamt of… And actually this could also apply to business partnerships… relationships of all kinds will be up for new understanding and commitment.

We can also look for a recalibration of the legal system over the next couple of years, especially regarding the legal definition of marriage.

Saturn’s move into Libra also marks the arrival of that infamous T-square made up of Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus – and all squaring Pluto… this is what a lot of us have been sensing building up over the last few months.  This energy is especially powerful now through August 12th, and will be with us and very potent through September 21st or so…

And since all of these planets are in the Cardinal signs of dynamic movement, change and new beginnings, we’ll finally be looking nose-to-nose at that infamous Grand Cardinal Cross…

For all of us what that means is that, once and for all, we’ll be called to release anything and everything that no longer serves us… Old ways of being won’t be working for us anyway… and to maneuver fruitfully through this wild energy of change, we should all be tuning in to our Inner Voice – and listening to what our next step should be… and then take it.

This energy is all about transformation… and we will transform.  Look around… it’s already happening… So line your little ducks up, kiddies, listen within, hang on to your seatbelt – then let go and take that exciting e-ticket ride that’s upon us!

And then on Thursday, July 22nd, the Sun will enter fiery Leo and will also form an aspect of opportunity to Saturn.   This is the time of the year when we seek to express the enthusiasms that move us!  The energy of Leo centers around creativity, self-expression – entertainment, fun – and our hearts!  It’s a time of warm hearts, drama and – yes – passion!  And this, too, could be passion not only for our mates, but for our creativity and projects, or causes dear to our hearts.

And with the Sun forming that poetic aspect to Saturn – we can make progress in our lives.  We’ll have the discipline required to put that Leo creative, manifesting energy to good purpose.  And we’ll be able to reach some of those goals that we’re passionate about…

And on Friday, July 23rd, the Sun will dance with Uranus – and giant Jupiter will turn retrograde until November 18th… the energy of the Sun and Uranus will open us to spontaneity and surprises.  We may receive flashes of intuition, inspiration – and some welcome AH-HA! Moments today…  It can be a day of excitement and/or the unexpected… soooo expect the unexpected!

And with Jupiter moving into retrograde motion until fall, for the next four months we’ll be reassessing our beliefs in life.  Our values and philosophies can actually reach deeper now… and surprise even us!  We may also return to some studies we began previously.  And we’ll also find our inspiration coming from within ourselves now and not so much externally influenced.  This will be an information-gathering time and we should be open to surprising new possibilities that present themselves from old situations.  Also, if Jupiter is retrograde in your birth chart, you’re going to feel right at home – and you’ll be blossoming!

Saturday, July 24th, Jupiter will square off with Pluto

Compromise and/or negotiation will be required today and for the next few days actually.

This intense dance between Jupiter and Pluto will last until August 3rd.  First Saturn squared Pluto in January, now its Jupiter’s turn.  This aspect is about extremes and fears, rational or not.  And excess.  Errors in judgment from acting in haste can become the rule right now – and once the choice is made, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to go back, at least not without tremendous difficulty.   So, take the time to slow down and think before making irreversible decisions.  You may not get a second chance.

And finally, on Sunday, July 25th, we have a full moon in expressive Leo, and we’ll be able to embrace our creativity and our love.  This full moon is also being aspected by the Cardinal Cross Players, but they’re softening ones – which can definitely help us move through and even thrive through this energy…

.    .    .    .   .

Now, this week I want to talk about how and where each sign will be feeling Jupiter’s retrograde movement and keep in mind that this is made even more potent because he’s sitting with Uranus and is part of the Grand Cardinal Cross – and as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Rising/Ascendant sign, if you know it.

Aries. New starts and new opportunities in your personal life can be inspired from within yourself – and  you might take up something that you began in the past for yourself.

Taurus. Let go of the past and be ready for the unexpected to reveal itself to you.  Bold exhilarating dreams – waking or sleeping – are about to expand your world.  Don’t fight it!

Gemini. New friends – or friends returning from the past – can expand your inner and then outer worlds.  This can be an exciting turning point for your hopes and wishes!  Think outside the box!

Cancer. Your career takes center stage now.  Take a look back to see if there’s something you can use now to jumpstart your career.

Leo. Far-off people or places can inspire you – or even reach out to you.  Look within to see new possibilities. And don’t hesitate to look to those far distant horizons!  Think big!

Virgo. Unexpected opportunities for shared resources – and life-changing psychic experiences – are available to you now.  An issue from the past can come back for reconsideration or resolution.

Libra. You might find yourself making some new choices or rethinking old commitments or partnerships.  Someone from the past may be on your mind or may even return.

Scorpio. Job possibilities may come back to you from the past – and your health and daily routine can be expand by listening within.

Sagittarius. You may find yourself rethinking you love life and/or creativity.  It may also be time to slow things down and get serious about what you really really want.

Capricorn. Your home may be your haven now.  You may also be reconsidering an issue or deceiding on some ‘next step’ in your family life.

Aquarius. Meditation and turning within will actually expand your world now.  Let go of old stale thinking and allow yourself to think in unusual ways!

Pisces. Money-making opportunities may come to you from some internal inspiration – or an opportunity from the past may resurface.  So, keep your eyes – and heart – open!
