.     .     .     .     .

Happy New Year Everybody!… The winds of change are really blowing strong now – and we all have a brand new fresh start ahead of us!

This first week of the year definitely heats up and gets things moving with big bursts of intense new energy on January 4^th with the BIG event of the week — the New Moon Solar eclipse on at 1:03 am PST in mid-Capricorn… and this particular eclipse energy will be with us for at least the next six months.

Eclipses always present us with an intensified energy that shifts our lives permanently – and, really, there’s finality to any actions we take or words we speak on any eclipse day.  So… for the very best results — and as much as possible — we need to stay connected with our positive thoughts and feelings.

 

And since this particular eclipse is taking place in Capricorn, it’s offering us the opportunity to evaluate and reevaluate our ambitions and goals… as in — we should have some new ones!

 

Also, this is a momentous year for eclipse energy, because while there are usually two solar eclipses in any given year, in 2011, we’ll actually have four!

 

So… to say that this is a year for surprises and change for us all would be an understatement!

 

And also on the day of this Solar Eclipse, Jupiter is conjunct Uranus in Pisces… Venus squares off with Neptune – and she also makes a very juicy trine to that Jupiter-Uranus conjunction.  Tthis is a VERY BIG opportunity for luck and amazing breakthroughs for us!

 

This is also a time of opportunity to free ourselves from any old dusty chains that bind us to the past — and to assist us, we will be offered startling new understanding about any confining situations.

 

We should all also be ready for surprises and be ready for sudden endings and new beginnings — and even a couple of exciting “ah-ha!” moments!

 

However, one caveat might also be to resist reaching for too many Bright Sparkly Shiny Objects and overspending for them…

 

But there will be luck and opportunity to attract love and money on our side… and we could even find it easier to connect with the resources and abundance for those things we desire.

 

Then on Wednesday January 5th, Venus will square off with the asteroid Chiron, and that may bring up memories from old loves for healing — and we may also need to make adjustments to relationships and/or finances.

 

Then on Friday, January 7^th, the ambitious Capricorn Sun will square off with Saturn in Libra and we will be offered yet another opportunity to resolve and complete any old wounds that may have been brought to us on January 5^th when Venus squared off with  Chiron.   This energy may bring the necessity to deal with matters of the heart — or our significant relationships — with fairness and honesty and responsibility.  And, above all it’s important for us to be honest with ourselves…

 

And also on Friday January 7th, flirty Venus moves into fun loving Sagittarius — and we’ll be ready for adventure!  Our moods will lift and we’ll be ready to go for the gusto — finally!

 

.     .     .     .     .

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

Aries

Career changes may come for you during this eclipse, most likely in your favor.  It’s all about your career and your success.  Watch for obstacles have been in your path to be removed — and maybe in a surprising way.
Taurus

Your world can expand in very surprising — and very large ways — and you may be given the opportunity for education that will open doors for you in your job down the road.  You might also find yourself taking some unexpected and fun trips!
Gemini

Cancer

Partnerships of all kinds will expand your world.  And new partnerships may enter your life in surprising ways — and existing partnerships can also offer startling surprises that bring newness to your life.

Leo

Your daily routine health and fitness can get a very big boost now.  Surprises with coworkers or on the job can also open some doors for you.  Take advantage of this energy to get a jump start on your fitness routine.
Virgo

Romance and relationships can be exciting, and even surprising — and it’s a great time for love.  While creativity can also ratchet up your life now.    Be ready to enjoy!

Scorpio

You can receive some unexpected and surprising communication and be especially lucky.  Go with your hunches — your mind and thoughts are very active and accurate.
Sagittarius

New avenues of money and finances can come to you in surprising ways — so be ready to think outside the box and keep your mind open to new possibilities.

Capricorn

You’re ready to make personal changes now — and then the very big way — and this eclipse energy is here to assist you.  Be sure you have some goals, because you can reach them now!

Aquarius

Your intuition is right on target.  Answers that you’ve needed will come to you now — and in surprising ways.  It may also mean letting something end so that a new beginning can take place.
Pisces

New opportunities come to you from friends or groups.  Get clear on your hopes and wishes — and try something fresh and new.

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

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 5^th, 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 5^th, 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 10^th, 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 29^th.

… 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 October 17th, 2010

This is the SkyeWatch Energy Report for the Week beginning Sunday, October 17^th,  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, October 17^th,  2010…

.     .     .     .     .

Well, this is a week of powerful change – and powerful, powerful passions!  The shifting energy will be nearly palpable to us – so we REALLY SHOULD hold on to our hats – and that goes for about the next month!

The week sets off on Monday, October 18^th with Mercury forming a flowing trine aspect to Neptune and the Asteroid Chiron.  Chiron is also known as the “Wounded Healer”… and our imaginations will be running through fields of purple clover!  And finding healing, dreams and intuitions along the way…

Creativity, healing and ideas will be flowing like a stream to the ocean can be ours for these couple of days… we’ll be feeling very fluid and compassionate toward others, and toward ourselves.  Mental healing is available now and we’ll either give or receive just the right words that we need to speak or hear… the only caveat here is that we may fall into too much wishful thinking or get caught up in daydreams.  Not a bad thing – just recognize it for what it is!

Then Tuesday, October 19^th the Sun takes over and trines the same points in the sky, Neptune and Chiron… and we can be feeling amazing optimism now – and miraculously feel like our recent efforts to achieve our dreams are finally beginning to come together in an almost magical cohesive whole.

Romance, compassion and creativity can also blossom now.  But we should hold off making decisions and major changes under this influence – it’s a lovely, but temporary, energy… so we should thoroughly enjoy it, but stay as grounded as we can

And on Wednesday, October 20^th, Mercury changes his personality from partnership oriented and agreeable Libra and moves into deep, watery and passionate Scorpio – and all just as Mars forms a mystically flowing trine to Jupiter… and we’ll find our intuition and hunches ratcheting up several notches.  Secrets and hidden information may come to light in our lives over this next month – and that can surprise us and/or help us make some more decisions about where we want to go – and what we want to believe.  We could also find ourselves experiencing the obsessive or manipulative side of Scorpio’s personality – either within ourselves or in those around us.  So be alert to that… and all of this very deep energy is amplified by Mars forming a flowing trine to Jupiter today which could either open our courage – or push assertiveness toward aggression if we aren’t paying attention.  There’s a huge amount of fervor in the air today – we should use it to courageously move forward toward our passions.  We could surprise ourselves when we see how much we’re able to accomplish!

Then on Friday, October 22^nd, Mars will square off with Neptune, form an aspect of opportunity with Pluto – and square off with the Asteroid Chiron – plus we have a potent Full Moon in Aries! …all at once!

This can bring us deeply penetrating conversations – or just some plain old arguments.  It will be our choice.  No matter what, we could have a very emotional day, one way or the other.  On the challenging side, we should be alert to any passive-aggressive behavior around or in us, and instead work toward releasing old patterns of hidden agendas.  This can be a startling time of healing things from the past that have hurt us in some way.  Though it might be shocking or upsetting as it comes to light.

And also on Friday, October 22^nd, we’ll be experiencing a particularly intense Full Moon in Aries, and with all the other forceful energy fairly bursting in the sky this week, we can count on feeling fully awake and alert!  Courage is the name of the game.  And there’s so much passion around us this week, that we can stand up and take on just about anything we desire.  Desire being the operative word now!

Finally, on Saturday, October 23^rd, the life-giving Sun will join Mercury in emotionally driven Scorpio – and we’ll be called front and center to follow our passions.  And get a move on!  The good news is that we won’t have a half-hearted feeling in us – and the challenging news is that we won’t have a half-hearted feeling in us!  So we’ll have amazing muscle and strength to follow our dreams – or invent some new ones along the way!  And this energy is going to be around for about a month!

.     .     .     .     .

Now, this week I want to talk about the energy of this dynamic and powerful Full Moon in Aries – and how it will be affecting each sign.  And, as always, this will apply to your Sun Sign and Rising/Ascendant sign if you know it…

 

Aries.

Look for a balancing, completion or culmination of something you may have begun related to partnership issues last July.  Look for a new understanding as you relate to others now.  Be agreeable, find balance, but don’t put yourself last!

Taurus.

Some of life’s “clutter” may finally be ready to leave your life.  You might also find secrets revealed to you.  Allow yourself to be drawn to solitude – your intuition will flourish!

Gemini.

Celebrate your friends and be open to seeing your dreams come to fruition.  Also, be prepared that some associations that no longer meet your needs may come to an end – to open the door for dashing new ones to come in!

Cancer.

You may realize a career goal now that opens doors to new professional pursuits in your life.  Be ready to see a new path if it’s presented to you – and grab that golden brass ring!

Leo.

Personal and spiritual growth will expand your horizons in ways you never expected.  You may also have an new education opportunity – or find yourself traveling to new places.

Virgo.

Shared or jointly held resources are up for examination – and possible expansion.  Be prepared to release an old habit that’s just been holding you back!  And also be prepared to experience some amazing expanded psychic awareness!

Libra.

Your partnerships, intimate or business, will be finding balance.  This may mean letting go of any of any that aren’t meeting your needs – or being surprised as some becoming renewed!

Scorpio.

Your health and daily life and routine can become balanced.  You may also finally find fulfillment in your current work – or be presented with an opportunity for new work.

Sagittarius.

Fun, love and pleasure can be all around you for the taking now.  New romance can beckon – and/or you may finally be able to find closure in one that needs to be left behind.

Capricorn.

You can find renewal and balance in your home and family life.  You may also finally see the success in an expansion you’d hoped for – and the success you’ve worked for.

Aquarius.

Communications of all kinds can bring fulfillment to you – and answers you’ve been waiting for.  So, if you’ve been waiting for a message, it’s time to arrive is right around the corner!

Pisces.

Expect to find a balance in your finances and what you value.  You may have an opportunity to finalize a new source of income, or solidify some recent changes in your current income source.

Hello World! …SkyeWatch Energy Report for the Week of August 22nd, 2010

This is the SkyeWatch Energy Report for the Week beginning Sunday, August 22^nd,  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, August 22^nd,  2010…

.  .  .  .  .

Well… fortunately – and gratefully – we’ve arrived at a much softer energy now.  And though all of the squirrelly energy is certainly not gone for good – we have a very welcome breather now.

As of Friday, August 20^th, Mercury is now officially retrograde.  And also this week, the Sun moves from fiery Leo to meticulous Virgo – and we have a mystical Pisces Full Moon coming up … so the energy around us should be a LOT gentler this week!

And the theme this week is balance…

With so much Virgo and Mercury in the air, we’re being surrounded by a spirit of contemplation and offered an opportunity for reconsideration now.   And whether we like it or not, our thoughts will probably drift to getting organized and tidying things up.  Especially after the last few raucous months there could be a lot that needs re-thinking or re-stacking in our lives!

And we shouldn’t be surprised if we resume studies or decide to complete some business or writing we began a few months ago – or if people we haven’t seen for quite a while re-surface in some way.

And we’ll also likely be drawn – or at least be thinking about – health, diet and fitness…

Mercury will be retrograde now till September 12^th, and he’ll remain in his ‘shadow’ period until September 26^th – when we’ll be totally out of the retrograde.  So, during these next three weeks especially, we need to be mindful of our computers, computer data, and our vehicles.  And remain flexible in our plans and appointments!  Things could waffle a little… and it’s not too late to back up our data and give our vehicles a once-over!   And if we MUST purchase computers, vehicles or other big-ticket items, of course DO IT!  But read ALL the small print – and be prepared that there may need to be some kind of “adjustment” to anything we begin for these three weeks!

Then, Saturday, August 21^st, Saturn will square off with Pluto, and there could be a general lack of cooperation or even some antagonism in the air.  This is another one of those days when we can find greater ease in our lives by not hanging on too tight, and letting go of things, situations – or people –who no longer serve our highest good – or we theirs…  Otherwise, if we don’t let go willingly, we could find those things taken away by some degree of force down the road.

And also on August 21^st, the Sun will oppose and face off with the Asteroid Chiron – he’s also known as The Wounded Healer – and, coupled with the Saturn/Pluto opposition, we may find ourselves caught up in fear of losing our creative selves to the necessity of healing in some way.  We may be forced to take care of ourselves or someone around us in a way that brings us clarity to know what we really need in our lives.  If we can find balance here, healing of very old fears and resistance can be the result.   And this aspect promises that we won’t have to do it all alone.  But we may need to step up and ask for that help!

Then, Sunday, August 22^nd, the Sun begins his travels through earthy, practical Virgo… And we could feel invigorated to take a look at what needs tidying up.  What needs to be cleaned out – in our homes, our closets, and in our bodies!  We’ll have supportive energy to get practical and efficient.  And for this month, working hard, beginning a rock-hard exercise program, and even adopting a pet – will receive the blessing and encouragement of the heavens – and any of those things that we begin now will pay off a lot easier and a lot quicker.  And since Virgo is also about service – looking around to do a Random Act of Kindness will also make a deposit to our spiritual or karmic bank accounts!

And then, Tuesday, August 24^th, we have the magical Full Moon in Pisces.

This is the ‘Harvest’ Full Moon and it gives us the opportunity to truly ‘harvest’ something in our lives through action, but this IS a Pisces Full Moon – so we’ll probably we seeking a balance between the act of Harvesting, and the ability to so easily connect with the flow of creative inspiration and intuitive guidance available to us.   Once again, to reap the rewards – and Harvest – of this Full Moon, we’re being asked to find a balance.

Then late Wednesday, August 25^th, the meticulous Virgo Sun trines mighty Pluto, and we can feel confident and self-assured in our chosen directions.  Today, we can KNOW that everything is and will be okay.  And especially if we’ve maintained our balance over the course of the week, we can be assured of the success of any projects we begin today.

.    .    .     .     .

Now this week, because this Mercury retrograde period is a very significant one, I want to re-visit how and where it will affect each sign – and this will apply to your Sun Sign and Rising/Ascendant sign, if you know it…

SD:                 09/12/10 at 05 Virgo 22 4:09pm Pacific

(End Shadow:           09/26/10 at 19 Virgo 04)

Aries: Your work environment, daily routine, and health may be up for review and reorganization.  Make sure your work is solid and sorted.  You may find yourself re-thinking, reconsidering any or all of these things.

Taurus: A romantic someone from the past may make a return appearance!  Or you may reconsider and review your current romantic relationship!   Re-think what you do for pleasure and enjoyment, too!  Change things around for best results!

Gemini: Home and family life may need some reorganization.  Be sure to be clear in your communications in or about your home.  You also have an opportunity to review or rearrange something in your home.

Cancer: All types of communications could be confusing.  And you especially want to keep an eye on your vehicle.  And be sure you’re dotting all the i’s and crossing your t’s on any documents you need to sign.

Leo: Think before spending!  Payments may be delayed, and/or you may also receive money due you from the past!  And it’s a great time to begin reviewing ideas for new sources of income!

Virgo: Your personal life is up for a review and re-think – and you may even be thinking about changing your appearance. Think about it – but don’t act on it yet!  You’ll probably change your mind!

Libra: Secrets from the past may be revealed and come up for review.  Pay attention to your dreams – you could receive some valuable hidden information!

Scorpio: Your friends may complicate things – or you may confuse them!  It’s really important to communicate clearly with associates to avoid misunderstandings.  You may also find a friend returns to your life.

Sagittarius: Your career may feel stalled for these few weeks, and you may find yourself rethinking your career direction.  This is the time to THINK not ACT!  And be sure to speak clearly with superiors and co-workers.

Capricorn: You have a possible opportunity for travel or learning.  Some idea you once found delicious can resurface, but double check plans, especially if you find yourself traveling.

Aquarius: Matters related to joint income could return for another look.  Consider offers carefully – especially if finances involve any kind of partnership.  Wait a few weeks to sign any documents if you can.

Pisces: Take care in any communications with partners – an issue that you thought was resolved may resurface for re-examination and/or re-consideration.  Walk softly!

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, June 6^th,  2010…

And this week, we have even more twists and turns and energy shifts ahead for us!

…Jupiter leaves Pisces and enters Aries, Mars FINALLY leaves Leo and enters Virgo,  Mercury is very active as he FINALLY leaves Taurus and enters Gemini, and the Biggie-of-the-Week, Jupiter conjunct Uranus… and later this month we’ll also have a lunar eclipse in Cancer.

This eclipse will be activating one of the points of the four-sign grand cross coming up in August… Just know that all of this means that we’ll all have major changes in our lives – and we’ll want to think about being balanced, but flexible, over the next few months… and we’ll have more specifics about all of that as we go along!

So – let’s go!

First, late on Saturday, June 5^th, a whole new major 12-year cycle begins for us – with Jupiter entering the pioneering warrior sign of ARIES…. On this go-round, he’ll remain in Aries through September 8^th when he briefly moves back into Pisces, and then next January moves into Aries to stay till June of 2011.

It’s going to be powerful time for new beginnings of all kinds – especially for being in touch with and empowering our inner pioneers and warriors.  And because later this week, Jupiter will conjunct the Grand Awakener Uranus, these energies are amped up and accelerated!   And over the next few months, and years actually, watch for major breakthroughs in the electronic, energetic and medical arenas!

…and then late on Sunday, June 6^th, after almost eight months in Leo(!), Mars FINALLY enters Virgo where he’ll travel till July 29^th…

Mars in Virgo is going to be about getting down to business and help us take care of practical things, and we’ll have a lot of energy for working in practical ways, and we’ll be going for accomplishment.  We should feel a change and a difference in the direction our energy takes now.

Tuesday, June 8^th, is a very very powerful day!  Jupiter conjuncts Uranus – and the communicator Mercury moves into his own sign of Gemini and is wildly busy for the next couple of days!

The combined energy of Jupiter and Uranus in Aries is going to be a bold and outrageously potent time for all of us… this is a time of breakthroughs.  Aries is the pioneer, the trailblazer, and Jupiter is the traveler, the adventurer.  Old ways of looking at things, and old ways of looking at ourselves, can be released in a blazing wave of change.  However, since Jupiter is still making stressful contacts with Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, the old and new can lock horns – so be ready to catch the wave, but stay mindful.
…and this is an extremely powerful combination – it’s the time to take risks if you really, really believe in what you’re doing!  The energy of intuition, brilliance and wisdom are all around us.  Big bright bold new ideas can blossom and bloom now.  And this aspect hasn’t happened for 14 years!  And it’s just a great time for starting new projects and exploding into a newness we weren’t even aware of a year ago.  So act quickly, after thinking of course!  And make hay while the sun shines, so to speak!

This can also be a powerful time break an old habit, make big changes or start new projects – and if you’re working on the elimination end of things, it’s best to begin before the June New Moon on Saturday, the 12^th – but if you’re launching something, begin it after the New Moon.

Also on Tuesday, June 8^th, Mercury enters Gemini til June 25^th… and he’s exceptionally busy for these couple of days…

Since, he’s moving into his own sign of Gemini, so he’ll be very feisty and happy – and he’ll be wanting communications to move very, very fast!  And he’ll fill our minds with avalanches of ideas.  We’ll also be able to articulate and analyze ideas and information easier  now.  And the month ahead will be very social – if we want it to be! – especially since Venus moves into passionate Leo later this week!  If you don’t want new social friends and lovers – stay home and hide for the next month!  Otherwise – get out, and see and be seen!

And… since Mercury also forms a flowing 120 degree aspect to Saturn today, we’re going to be able to see our goals very clearly – and be able to make the plans to get where we want to go!

But then, early on Wednesday, June 9^th, Mercury will square off in a 90 degree aspect with Neptune – and our mental focus could get a bit fuzzy or confused…  we may also experience some disappointment or disillusionment in communications.  This will be a day to step back and listen more than we talk!  And be more flexible in what we think we know about someone or something in our lives.

But on the plus side, we may also be able to enter into a hazy, mystical space and receive information or messages from an unseen realm… we just need to be sure to check all the facts before we put any revelations and insights we receive into motion!
Thursday, June 10^th, Mercury forms a 60 degree aspect of opportunity to Jupiter and Uranus – and we’ll have ideas, ideas, ideas – and the opportunity and ability to express them clearly!  What a gift!  Today we can part any fog that may have enveloped us over the last couple of days – and see a bigger picture.  Our perspective can change, and we can see patterns in our lives – and how we got here – and where we want to go!  We can touch a great optimism – and feel very adventurous!  Don’t be afraid to reach out for excitement!
…and then, on Friday, June 11^th, Mercury will square off with Mars
and we may have a tendency to sweat the small stuff.  This is a very abrupt energy – and might leave us with some anxiety and tension.  Conflict, arguments or accidents might plague the day – but we can also be proactive and harness this abundant energy to get things done and/or have the courage to do something that’s long overdue!
…and then on Saturday, June 12^th at 7:14 AM, we’ve got a sparkling, effervescent New Moon at 22° Gemini – and fresh beginnings in communicating, speaking, writing learning, teaching – and communications of all kinds are supported – this is a great time to get out and made new contacts!  And all of this is emphasized, remember, because communicator Mercury is traveling through his own sign of Gemini as well…

Finally, Sunday, June 14^th, Venus enters passionate Leo until July 10^th… and we’ll be up for enjoyment, love and pleasure – especially since Venus is forming a flowing trine aspect to that electric Jupiter/Uranus conjunction!

This will be a time to reach out for a new adventure and get ourselves out there and join in the ‘party’ and play!  Or turn on our creative switches and just let go!

Now, this week I want to talk about how and where each sign will be feeling this electric conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Aries – and as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Rising/Ascendant sign, if you know it.

Taurus.  Your immediate future can get pretty exhilarating.  And be prepared for blazing flashes of intuition and psychic revelations – especially in your dreams. Let old dusty things go.  Walk into the newness!

Leo. Out-of-the blue mind-expanding possibilities are going to blaze into your world.  Think big.  And then think bigger!  People or things from a distance will inspire you.  Think outside the box, look up – and see those far distant horizons!

Virgo. Life-changing psychic experiences and exciting new opportunities for sharing resources – are about to bolt into your life!  Drop anything stale in your life – and allow yourself to go where you’ve not gone before!
