SkyeWatch AstroAlert! Mercury FINALLY turns direct today! Prepare for Full Speed Ahead!

Early Wenesday morning,  around 3am pacific time actually – Mercury stopped and stood still in the sky.  He’s preparing to come out of his foggy sleep, stretching his legs and dusting off the cobwebs that have been collecting over the last three or four weeks.  It’s been a tough retrograde this time for a lot of folks.  And it sure has seemed longer than just three weeks to ME!  But at long last, clarity and movement can begin happening again.  I am SO ready ~ and I just have to bet YOU are, too!

Keeping in mind that Mars is also still retrograde, things aren’t quite ready to blast forward.  Mars moves forward the evening of Friday, the 13th of April.  And THAT’S when thing might move forward with a bang… but more about that one in an upcoming SkyeWatch!

For now, we should all be gently standing and stretching our own legs (mental and physical), taking a look at and getting ready to put into action all those things we’ve been re-considering and re-evaluating for the past few weeks.  And we should also anticipate that there could be a brief resurgence of difficulties as All-Things-Mercury-Retrograde become emphasized and reenergized for a short time as he stands up and stands still today.

SkyeWatch Astrology Daily Post for Monday April 2nd: Mercury Rx Alert!

We’re all getting ready for the change by Mercury from retrograde to direct early on Wednesday April 4th.  The Messenger of the God’s is turning direct at 23degrees of Pisces – so  any planets or sensitive points in our birth charts will be especially affected now. 

 

There could be some extreme confusion and/or mental miscommunications over these last few days before this punchy Mercury Retrograde officially ends on the 4th.  When Mercury, or any retrograde planet for that matter, moves from apparent backward to forward motion he’ll first appear to stand still in the sky, called a “direct station,” and everything he stands for will be emphasized.  In this case, communication, technology and transportation issues in particular. 

 

So until he leaves his “retrograde shadow” period after another couple of weeks, we’ll want to wake slowly, like he’ll be doing, if we can!  Shake off the communication cobwebs, travel cautiously, remain flexible in our scheduling, and be alert to just a smidgen more of misunderstandings! 

 

You can also listen to the Weekly SkyeWatch from the link on my website at www.skyemackenna.com.

 

Another daily astroNews puppy tomorrow!  Stay tuned!

Big big blessings,

Skye

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of March 25th ~ Powerful Sun Square-Off with Pluto ~ and Weekly Forecast for Each Sign

 

Hello everybody this is Skye Mackenna with the new, expanded SkyeWatch Weekly Energy Report… and this is for the Week beginning Sunday, March 25th,  2012…

You can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report.  You’ll find the link at my website, www.skyemackennaastrology.com.

Well… this week can be a challenging time for us.  The Aries Sun will be entangled in a fiery conflict with Pluto for most of the week.  This is about power struggles.   Plus, Mercury and Mars are both still retrograde, until April 4th and 14th respectively – so we could find ourselves confronted by difficult people, conflict and struggle, or situations that will make it very important for us to stand strong and keep our own power close – in order that we don’t feel overwhelmed or powerless.   Some things are in our control – and some just won’t be.  So, we’ll want not to try to push any rivers this week, and consciously release anything that no longer serves our highest good – and THAT will move us forward.

 

On a positive note, however, we do have a wonderful opportunity to benefit from increased creativity and even people-connections if we can be mindful of – and step around – any potential power plays.  Mercury dances with Venus – and even though Mercury is still retrograde – powerfully creative ideas can wash over us.  But, again, with the powerful Sun-Pluto square energy, we’ll still want to tread gently in our lives this week…  Lots of highs and lows around us now…. and things smooth out next week for us :)

And now this week, I want to talk about how the energy of this week’s powerful Sun-Pluto dance is will be affecting each sign – and as always,  this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…

Aries

This energy affects you strongly.  Even though you’re fired up and inspired to act, this week be ready for some power plays and issues of control in and around you.  Just let things roll by.

Taurus

There could be a struggle behind the scenes in some way.  Be alert that hidden messages might cause some unbalanced energies.  Take a breath, let it go. Next week gets better.

Gemini

Friends could bring you big energy – or big conflict.  Stand strong in your own power if someone tries to push you in a direction you don’t want to go.

Cancer

Big energy is here for your career.  But it could come with some challenges this week.  Welcome the newness, but delay making changes for about three weeks if you can.

Leo

You may decide to learn something exciting to you.  Exhilarating and electric news can broaden your horizons in surprising ways, but expect some unexpected nervous energy as well!

Virgo

Don’t make big sweeping changes in your financial life right now.  Power plays could surface in regard to money – your own or someone else’s.  Don’t play anyone else’s game this week.

Libra

You could experience some challenges in your partnerships, personal and otherwise.  Be as graceful as you can in your dealings with others this week.

Scorpio

Your workplace and daily routine will have extra energy and maybe a little conflict.  Sidestep it, and put that energy into an extreme fitness routine that will create miracles for you!

Sagittarius

Love, romance and/or creativity could get fired up now.  Be excited but don’t make permanent changes right now.  Movement comes in about three weeks.

Capricorn

Home and family might bring a power struggle or conflict.  Use the energy to get busy and toss out anything that no longer serves you.  Things move forward in about three more weeks.

Aquarius

Some news might be exciting, but also unsettling in some way.  Wait to sign new documents till mid-April if you can.

Pisces

Finances get a boost and/or bring change to you.  Don’t bite off more than you can chew – and  wait for the changes to become apparent in about three weeks.

 DAILY-HOURLY ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING MARCH 25, 2012

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

 

25 Mar            Moon Trines Mars 03:13 am MST          06Taurus10

Today has strength and energy written all over it  a good time for a power breakfast, lunch, or dinner and getting down to brass tacks on deals you want to see really pick up speed. Or a good time for just getting out there and getting physical. A strong stride established today will take you all the way to the finish line.

 

25 Mar            Moon Trines Pluto 09:58 am MST          09Taurus30

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.

 

25 Mar            Moon Conjuncts Jupiter   03:03 pm MST          11Taurus59

This most fruitful day has the potential to give birth to all kinds of positive ideas and feelings  or simply to give birth, literally. Emotions burst out into laughter or song, playfulness abounds, and there can seem like there is no limit to what’s out there for you. Take the ball and run with it now and you’ll go far.

 

26 Mar            Moon Conjuncts Venus    12:27 pm MST          22Taurus30

Charm abounds and an atmosphere of love and desire allows for all sorts of pleasantries and can provide the foundations of lots more like it to come, if you go for it now. Directions begun today can be the start of great friendships, beautiful handiworks, and achievements that bring both wealth and love.

 

26 Mar            Moon Sextiles Mercury    09:36 pm MST          26Taurus59

If things seem to be running smoothly around you, they are, so let them. Clear understandings established now will have legs and serve you well as long as you don’t push them. Staying on the conservative side and reconfirming old patterns has more potential than trying to emotionally break the mold.

 

27 Mar            Moon Enters Gemini        03:44 am MST

Words abound and messages fly for the next couple of days, when talk will be cheap but follow through may not be. It’s a good time for making new contacts and developing old ones, and for putting your finger on feelings that have been waiting the right kind of expression. Say what you mean, but don’t be afraid to change it, refine it, on the fly.

 

27 Mar            Moon Squares Neptune   07:40 am MST          01Gemini56

Mirages may pop up at any time, even if you’re not in the desert. Feelings and internal visions can get muddled, and emotional miscommunication, either unintended or on purpose, may get in the way. Mis-entanglements can snowball, so be ready to cut loose and try again later. Avoid long-term commitments.

 

27 Mar            Moon Sextiles Uranus     01:17 pm MST          04Gemini41

A good day for small adventures, but don’t push it into weirdness. New tastes and experiences are easy to come upon and, once tried, may stick with you for a longtime.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained, but don’t sell the farm on a hunch. The environment is volatile but not threatening, sort of a gently bouncing ride.

 

27 Mar            Moon Squares Mars        03:05 pm MST          05Gemini35

Feelings and actions at crosspurposes make this day’s blank slate one that you might not want to write much on, but just write it off. Under any circumstances, don’t be hasty, and try not to repeat yourself too many times because you didn’t hit the mark with the first shot. Accept uncertainty, and certainty will arrive soon enough.

 

27 Mar            Moon Sextiles Sun          07:39 pm MST          07Gemini50

Taking it easy and letting things happen will let opportunities continue to grow that are already underway. Situations beginning now will be cooperative and helpful to you as they progress. A general atmosphere of getting along together prevails and will continue to if you just go with the flow.

 

29 Mar            Moon Squares Mercury   07:06 am MST          25Gemini27

This is probably a good time for all parties to back off a bit and make sure that what looks like a great idea isn’t actually a hidden misunderstanding. What feels right may be impractical or misleading, so a second look is in order to avoid having to reposition later. Don’t believe all you hear, or all you say.

 

29 Mar            Mercury Sextiles Venus   10:43 am MST          25Pisces22

At this rather rare time, it is possible to stand back and take a look at your aesthetic accomplishments and generally take self-congratulatory stock of your surroundings. Although you may take your talents for granted, it can be a joy to take inventory now and then so you know just what you are showing off.

 

29 Mar            Moon Trines Saturn         11:06 am MST          27Gemini27

There’s a certain stability in the general atmosphere that makes it safe to say what you feel, but not too much. Conservation of emotion might be the phrase. It’s a time to be mutually reassuring, rather than wildly supportive; projects launched will be stable, though, perhaps not very showy.

 

29 Mar            Sun Squares Pluto          12:52 pm MST          09Aries31

Personal confrontations abound and you will do well to avoid them, as they lead nowhere but take up a lot of time and energy, leaving resentment in their trail. Force plays and squeeze plays are no substitute for fair play, and you’ll never regret walking away. Let the air clear and then be ready to move on untrammeled.

 

29 Mar            Moon Enters Cancer        04:08 pm MST

Expect feelings to get a little more intense for the next few days, particularly due to bottledup emotions that people are trying to keep a lid on. It’s hard to say what you mean when there’s so much expectation to deliver on every hand. Best to be utterly sincere but not say too much that might set off hidden nerves or be seen as space invasion.

 

29 Mar            Moon Trines Neptune      08:07 pm MST          02Cancer01

It’s a good day for getting across those hard-to-express feelings without actually having to put them into words. Intuitive antennae are up today and everyone’s getting good reception.  Projects that involved instinct or imagination are favored, time to go with your gut level guidelines.

 

30 Mar            Moon Squares Uranus     01:39 am MST          04Cancer50

Dogfights and catfights may be happening almost anywhere, so make it a point not to join in. Simply agree to disagree and move on, as it’s easy to get caught up in pointless rows. Projects and relationships begun now will also tend to fall into disarray, so back off a bit until you can take a second look.

 

30 Mar            Moon Sextiles Mars         02:07 am MST          05Cancer04

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.

 

30 Mar            Moon Opposes Pluto       10:48 am MST          09Cancer32

Stop-and-go feelings make headway a tough go, with breakthroughs only after a mighty push.  Although it’s in the air, it’s not necessary  when it’s time to push, just don’t. Wait, and the barrier will go away. Nevertheless, it’s not an uninterrupted journey, but nothing a little patience will not see you through.

 

30 Mar            Moon Squares Sun          12:42 pm MST          10Cancer30

Uncertainty and shifting grounds can mark the day’s outcomes, and confidence may retreat in the face of a challenge. Confrontation is the wrong game to play, but pulling out entirely is equally unsuitable. Make judicious compromise now and the resulting situation will improve, but don’t chase diminishing returns.

 

30 Mar            Moon Sextiles Jupiter      05:43 pm MST          13Cancer06

Good feelings may be taken for granted today, so you might go out of your way to appreciate them. Positive elements today are the little things in life, so invest in the small for the long haul and you’ll be sure of a return. Look to get dividends, not a big turnover, and you’ll be right in the flow as they grow.

 

31 Mar            Moon Trines Mercury      03:14 pm MST          24Cancer25

Today is a good time to express your feelings with conviction, knowing that there will be response in kind. Situations that arise now will have lasting clarity and a quality of self.  reinvention as they move along, as head and heart are on the same page and will tend to remain that way.

 

31 Mar            Moon Squares Saturn      08:34 pm MST          27Cancer17

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.

 

31 Mar            Moon Sextiles Venus       09:21 pm MST          27Cancer42

It’s a good day for agreements and generally patting each other on the back  or, maybe, for scratching each other’s backs. It will be easy to see eye-to-eye, and shared goals and feelings can be put into action to bring later results. Mutual investment, mutual trust, and relaxed progress are all in the atmosphere.

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of March 18th ~ An Electric Aries New Moon! ~ and Weekly Forecast for Each Sign

Hello everybody this is Skye Mackenna with the new, expanded SkyeWatch Weekly Energy Report… and this is for the Week beginning Sunday, March 18th,  2012…

You can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report.  You’ll find the link at my website, www.skyemackennaastrology.com.

Well… this week we may just find ourselves awash in “push-me-pull-you” energies…

We have an exciting and excitable New Moon in Aries on Thursday – but it also happens to be conjunct a retrograding Mercury and an unpredictable Uranus…  So, we’ll probably have strong urges to start something exciting, something new… but we may hit some snags with the plan and things may not likely go so well.   Basically, this usually very forward energy can’t be used as effectively as usual for our new beginnings.  But oh how we’ll want to try!

 

Because, the first moment of spring here in the Northern Hemisphere – the Equinox – also occurs this week when the Sun moves into Aries on Monday.  So we’re going to be hot to trot so to speak and have a lot of restless, and even rebellious, energy in us and around us.   The feisty Aries Sun is bumping right up against shocking Uranus so we’ll be feeling absolutely ready for some excitement and some newness in our lives! 


However, we are still in the midst of Mercury Retrograde – and he shifts gears in a watery kind of way as he steps back into Pisces for about three weeks…

 

Anyone with an Aries Sun, Moon or Ascendant will probably feel the effects of this week the most, but we’ll all likely be trying to rush forward with the brakes on for another week or so!

And now this week, I want to talk about how this fiery Aries New 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

Get ready to be fired up and inspired to act.  Just know that plans you act on should relate to you personally – and expect some delays with it until mid-April.

Taurus

Big new plans will be birthed for you behind the scenes in some way.  Pay special attention to your dreams and be ready to act on them in about three weeks.

Gemini

New friends or new starts with old ones may be on your agenda.  And expect some moving and shaking with your hopes and wishes over the next couple weeks.

Cancer

Expect some new action in your career.  A new offer could come your way or you may decide to take some big steps on your own.  If you can, delay making changes for about three weeks.

Leo

Exhilarating and electric news can broaden your horizons in surprising ways.  You may decide to learn something exciting to you.  Just double check any paperwork or travel plans.

Virgo

New resources can come to you fast and unexpectedly.  Don’t make big sweeping changes in your financial life for about three weeks if you can.

Libra

Changes are coming in your partnerships, personal and otherwise.  Embrace the newness but wait before making commitments or signing documents till after mid-April if you can.

Scorpio

Expect lots of new energy in your workplace and daily routine.  A new job could be in the offing and this would also be an excellent time to blast forward into a new fitness routine.

Sagittarius

New exciting love, romance and/or creativity beckons to you.  Be excited and have fun.  Just don’t make permanent plans right now.  More big movement comes in about three weeks.

Capricorn

You’ll be wanting to make big changes in and around your home and family.  Go for it!  But also be ready for some delays while things get sorted out in about a month.

Aquarius

You could get some exciting news – but you might not want to take action on it for about three weeks.  Documents may come to you to sign but if you can, wait till mid-April to sign them.

Pisces

Excitement is brewing related to your finances.  Respond and make your plans – and be ready for big changes in about three weeks.

 DAILY-HOURLY ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING MARCH 18, 2012

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

18 Mar     Moon Squares Jupiter     04:23 am MST     10Aquarius25
Its 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 youve 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.

18 Mar     Mercury Conjuncts Uranus     10:23 am MST     04Aries10Ñ
Lightning-flash ideas lead to sudden, keen insights about how to make things work better. Leading-edge inventiveness abounds, so get your patent in while its hot. In general, its a good time for that “aha!” light bulb to go off over your head, so keep your mind open and write down what comes to you.

18 Mar     Moon Squares Venus     11:39 am MST     14Aquarius20
Watch out for conflicting goals and energy-wasting diminishing returns today. What may seem like deceit could be just mixed emotions, or vice versa. Rather than jump into a stewpot, let it boil a bit and see if it simmers down. When all get more certain of what they want, it will be easier to move in concert together.

19 Mar     Moon Trines Saturn     01:31 pm MST     28Aquarius07
Theres a certain stability in the general atmosphere that makes it safe to say what you feel, but not too much. Conservation of emotion might be the phrase. Its a time to be mutually reassuring, rather than wildly supportive; projects launched will be stable, though, perhaps not very showy.

19 Mar     Moon Enters Pisces        05:05 pm MST
Shifting sands of feeling abound for a few days, which make hard decisions difficult but ferreting out intuitive revelation easy. You wont find so much hard commitment going around, but the soft underbelly of hidden feelings and backdoor admissions are open to the touch. Probe gently, find the waiting pulse.

19 Mar     Moon Conjuncts Neptune     08:17 pm MST     01Pisces41
A dreamy state of affairs marks the surroundings and it may be difficult to pin things down or get anyone else to, either. Fantasy is favored, along with speculation, hopefulness, and prayer. Anything you try to formalize wont stay that way, so its a better day for imagination than concrete efforts.

19 Mar     Sun Enters Aries             10:15 pm MST
Theres a fairly sudden shift of energy as a month of urgency begins, painting a patina of action and purpose on a previously passive environmental palette. Patience and gestation wont do anymore, time to get up and go – but exactly where to may be the puzzle. Preventing premature detonation while delivering a timely bombshell is the challenge of the month ahead.

20 Mar     Moon Opposes Mars         07:25 am MST     07Pisces31
Seesaw emotions with energies running high make for choppy waters today, so avoid hasty choices or impulse buying. If tempers flare, just dont go there, spare yourself and others the hassle. Commitments made now will tend to partake of this atmosphere, so have the patience to wait a little before moving ahead.

20 Mar     Moon Sextiles Pluto         11:06 am MST     09Pisces27
A sense of easy power without display makes working behind the scenes easier and waiting for rewards more profitable. If you know youre going to win, you neednt show it, and all kinds of competition and conflict is avoided. That gPiscess for the rest of the world, too — win-win is definitely the way to go.

20 Mar     Moon Sextiles Jupiter     01:56 pm MST     10Pisces55
Good feelings may be taken for granted today, so you might go out of your way to appreciate them. Positive elements today are the little things in life, so invest in the small for the long haul and youll be sure of a return. Look to get dividends, not a big turnover, and youll be right in the flow as they grow.

21 Mar     Moon Sextiles Venus     01:39 am MST     17Pisces00
Its a good day for agreements and generally patting each other on the back — or, maybe, for scratching each others backs. It will be easy to see eye-to-eye, and shared goals and feelings can be put into action to bring later results. Mutual investment, mutual trust, and relaxed progress are all in the atmosphere.

21 Mar     Mercury Conjuncts Sun     12:21 pm MST     01Aries35Ñ
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 dont 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.

22 Mar     Moon Enters Aries         02:58 am MST
Events pick up pace for the next couple of days. The early bird definitely gets the worm, so if youre in competition, get your bid in first. The challenge is to be quick, yet avoid being premature so you dont have to do it all over again down the line. Nevertheless, it can be a fresh breeze all around, awake with energy.

22 Mar     Moon Conjuncts Mercury     04:51 am         MST 00Aries58
Time to be quick and make smart deals as the intellectual pace around you quickens. Where you can put emotions into words, you will be at the top of the heap, as thats going to be the way to connect and build on your connections right now. Feelings get aired and a greater sense of control and satisfaction results.

22 Mar     Moon Conjuncts Sun     07:38 am MST     02Aries22
New Moon in Aries
This first New Moon of the astrological year is all about bounding out from the starting line the instant the signal is given. The early bird definitely gets the worm and the race is to the fleet, especially those exactly and promptly off the mark. Sharing is fine, but its leadership that counts right now, let the others fall in line as the race develops. If sudden acceleration isnt your thing, dont pull a muscle trying to sprint, because those who try too hard will find themselves flagging and out of steam all too soon. Being the leader of the pack in the first furlong often means you wont stay there, but impressive starts can make the rest of the run easy if youve got what it takes. Take the initiative, or at least ride the slipstream of the next ahead of you.

22 Mar     Moon Conjuncts Uranus     11:37 am MST     04Aries24
Unstable currents abound in the worlds affairs and sudden outbursts can be expected — be they temper fits, sudden annoyances, or cries of “Eureka!” Surprises that startle, realizations that turn you around, and new emotional experiments all are going on. Good for adventure, just keep your eye out.

22 Mar     Moon Squares Pluto         09:38 pm MST     09Aries28
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.

23 Mar     Mercury Enters Pisces     06:23 am MST
Putting the right phrase to the task is not the focus for the next few weeks – so if youre at a loss for words, join the party. But words arent everything, and those slippery concepts that emerge right now can yet be pounced upon when the time is right, like a cat on a mouse, and nailed to the ground. Just mind your mind in the meantime.

24 Mar     Moon Opposes Saturn     10:18 am MST     27Aries48
The environment is running hot and cold today, and just as you think youre warming up to someone, they can suddenly turn negative. Similarly, projects undertaken today can turn out ambivalent and hobbled down the line, so wait, if you can, to make commitments. That, in itself, is exactly whats in the air.

24 Mar     Sun Conjuncts Uranus     11:20 am MST     04Aries31
A feeling of explosive urgency is in the air, and you can fall into some serious personal discovery if you ride that wave. You can also get into some heated debate in a flash as theres an all-or-nothing tinge to events that resist reining in. Exploit the moment, but wait on pursuing it further until heads cool.

24 Mar     Moon Enters Taurus         02:44 pm MST
The next couple of days can be solid launching ground for anything you choose to embark upon, especially if its down to earth to begin with. The time to be hasty or flighty has flown, the atmosphere favors practical beauty, the grace of being in touch with nature itself. Simplicity works, traditional fare is ever elegant.

24 Mar     Moon Sextiles Neptune     06:28 pm MST     01Taurus51
Words may convey a bit more emotional meaning than usual, as under-the-radar communication makes inner messages clear. Spiritual deeds are done without a second thought and life as usual has a certain glow. Filling out earlier-imagined schemes pays off and keeping good company comes with ease.

25 Mar     Moon Trines Mars         03:13 am MST     06Taurus10
Today has strength and energy written all over it – a good time for a power breakfast, lunch, or dinner and getting down to brass tacks on deals you want to see really pick up speed. Or a good time for just getting out there and getting physical. A strong stride established today will take you all the way to the finish line.

25 Mar     Moon Trines Pluto         09:58 am MST     09Taurus30
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.

25 Mar     Moon Conjuncts Jupiter     03:03 pm MST     11Taurus59
This most fruitful day has the potential to give birth to all kinds of positive ideas and feelings — or simply to give birth, literally. Emotions burst out into laughter or song, playfulness abounds, and there can seem like there is no limit to whats out there for you. Take the ball and run with it now and youll go far.

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of March 11th ~ a Very Big and Juicy Week Ahead! ~ and Weekly Forecast for Each Sign

 

Hello everybody this is Skye Mackenna with the new, expanded SkyeWatch Weekly Energy Report… and this is for the Week beginning Sunday, March 11th,  2012…

You can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report.  You’ll find the link at my website, www.skyemackennaastrology.com.

Well… in spite of Mercury’s move to retrograde for the next three weeks – this promises to be a very big, very juicy week!  We’ll still want to expect the unexpected, leave lots of extra time in scheduling just about anything, and stay flexible to changes that may come up, because Mercury will be aspecting Uranus AND Pluto as he stations – so the next three or four weeks could actually present even more Mercury surprises than usual! 

BUT this WILL be an excellent time for doing research and investigation and preparing for major decisions which, if we can, are usually best put off until well after Mercury goes direct.

 

However, back to the juiciness at hand…

 

This week Venus will conjunct Jupiter and trine Mars, and Mars gets into the act and trines both Jupiter and Pluto!  Keep in mind that Venus and Jupiter are considered  our two yummiest and luckiest planets!

Passion, luck, love AND romance are in the air – both personally and in relationships.  Sweet pleasure and harmony is reflected in everything and beauty abounds!   Our ability to attract money, resources and rewards are also especially strong.  This could be a great time to buy that lottery ticket! Or maybe indulge in a special beauty treatment that brings out our most luscious magnificence!

 

However (there’s always a “however,” isn’t there? lol!), we’ll want to be aware that we can overdo right now…  so we’ll want to use this scrumptious week of energy to our best advantage and not overstep – or step on! – anyone or anything!   With both Mars and Mercury retrograde, this will be a good time to step back before we jump into that flower bed, so to speak!

And now this week, I want to talk about how retrograde Mercury in fast-moving and fiery Aries will be affecting each sign – and as always,  this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…

Aries

Stay on your personal toes!  Be alert to changes in your immediate environment and be ready to respond – and stay especially flexible for the next three weeks. 

Taurus

Your nighttime dreams will be leading you to faraway places where daytime dreams are born.  Go with them.  Write them down.   Be ready to take action on them in about three weeks.

Gemini

Friends may leave and others may return to you now.  Sidestep any confusion among other people.  Don’t make it yours. 

Cancer

There could be some confusion or miscommunication in your career for the next three weeks.  Nothing you can’t handle, but be ready and stay flexible if plans change. 

Leo

Learning and travel might present some interesting challenges for you.  Double check any plans, reservations, or registrations.  Long distance communications could also snarl. 

Virgo

Resources or money not earned through your job could come up for attention.  Passionate communication could also get confusing now.  Listen carefully to what’s really being said. 

Libra

Communication with partners – marriage and otherwise – might slow down or get tangled, but headway can be made by retracing some earlier tracks.      

Scorpio

Your workplace and daily routine will be busy.  Stay bendable and go with the flow.  Taking a look back to see what can be brought forward to the present can bring great progress. 

Sagittarius

Love, romance, creativity and children are up for a rethink.  Don’t make permanent plans right now.  New movement comes in about three weeks. 

Capricorn

Stay flexible and watch for changes in and around your home.  If you can, delay making large home purchases for about a month.

Aquarius

Communications of all kinds could be iffy.  Take what you hear with a big grain of salt.  Be sure you have your data backed up – and be careful with the written word.

Pisces

Messages related to your finances may be delayed.  Try to relax and believe in the bounty that’s truly on its way to you.

DAILY-HOURLY ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING MARCH 11, 2012

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

11 Mar             Moon Trines Neptune             00:39 am MST            01Scorpio22

Its a good day for getting across those hard-to-express feelings without actually having to put

them into words. Intuitive antennae are up today and everyones getting good reception.

Projects that involved instinct or imagination are favored, time to go with your gut level

guidelines.

 

11 Mar             Moon Opposes Venus           09:32 am MST            06Scorpio49

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

a challenge. Todays beginnings may mature into tomorrows turmoils, so dont fly off the

handle and dont jump into something youre not sure of. Let the waters settle until tomorrow,

then decide on it.

 

11 Mar             Moon Opposes Jupiter           01:14 pm MST            09Scorpio05

Rip tides of emotion swing and sway today, so make sure you dont get carried away in the

undertow. The surroundings are turbulent but highly positive, so in order to pick up on them

you may have to tighten your focus — be ready to hop on board as the train rushes past.

When its over, it leaves everyone breathless.

 

11 Mar             Moon Sextiles Pluto                01:38 pm MST            09Scorpio20

A sense of easy power without display makes working behind the scenes easier and waiting

for rewards more profitable. If you know youre going to win, you neednt show it, and all kinds

of competition and conflict is avoided. That goes for the rest of the world, too — win-win is

definitely the way to go.

 

11 Mar             Moon Sextiles Mars               03:34 pm MST            10Scorpio30

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.

12 Mar             Mercury Stationary Retrograde 00:45 am MST

Mercury Stationary Retrograde

Sometimes assumptions about those most close to you can turn out to be misperceived, and

the next three weeks gives you a chance to take a second look. You can nip problems in the

bud and smooth potentially ruffled feathers, including your own, where things have been

taken for granted and are slowing down progress. Mending ties to others can make for

stronger relationships if you are ready to address small problems and so prevent them from

growing. In the same way, good fences make good neighbors, and keeping your own integrity

may be part of it, so dont do others jobs, but let equality have play.

 

12 Mar             Moon Trines Sun                    11:31 am MST            22Scorpio35

Todays accomplishments have a confident feel where what you do matches what you feel

and results down the line will move well accordingly. Contacts made now will serve you well,

and you wont have to look back with suspicion or regret. If it feels right, it probably is, so put

your best foot forward and follow through.

 

12 Mar             Jupiter Trines Pluto                 09:22 pm MST            09Taurus21

New frontiers, hot prospects, expanded operations are not hard to sell right now — in fact, the

soft sell will be the most successful. Whether you are promoting your affections or your

consumer product, act as if its the only way to go in the world and is pretty much of an

accomplished fact already. The more faith you have in yourself, the more others will have in

you, and the more likely things will work out right for you, since everyone is expecting them to.

 

12 Mar             Moon Enters Sagittarius         11:54 pm MST

The first reaction all around is a good laugh, especially when people are surprised by the

open truth. For the next couple of days, honesty is a pleasure and has crowd appeal, too, so

dont be afraid to speak out without taking yourself too seriously. Big ideas are favored, but

may be slim on details.

 

13 Mar             Moon Squares Neptune         02:20 am MST            01Sagittarius27

Mirages may pop up at any time, even if youre not in the desert. Feelings and internal visions

can get muddled, and emotional miscommunication, either unintended or on purpose, may

get in the way. Misentanglements can snowball, so be ready to cut loose and try again later.

Avoid long-term commitments.

 

13 Mar             Moon Trines Uranus               06:26 am MST            03Sagittarius52

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 havent tried it, nows the time, whatever “it” may

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

 

13 Mar             Moon Trines Mercury                         11:10 am MST            06Sagittarius41

Today is a good time to express your feelings with conviction, knowing that there will be

response in kind. Situations that arise now will have lasting clarity and a quality of self

reinvention as they move along, as head and heart are on the same page and will tend to

remain that way.

 

13 Mar             Moon Squares Mars               04:24 pm MST            09Sagittarius45

Feelings and actions at cross-purposes make this days blank slate one that you might not

want to write much on, but just write it off. Under any circumstances, dont be hasty, and try

not to repeat yourself too many times because you didnt hit the mark with the first shot.

Accept uncertainty, and certainty will arrive soon enough.

 

13 Mar             Venus Trines Pluto                 06:24 pm MST            09Taurus22

When youre sure youre going to get what you want, you probably will, and that kind of

attitude all around makes for a general win-win situation. Cross-purposes are at a minimum

and a fundamental agreement on mutual goals and desires means one hand washes the

other and vice versa for joint pleasures.

 

13 Mar             Venus Conjuncts Jupiter        10:55 pm MST            09Taurus34

Big appetites and a large bite out of life depict the day, and that means dig right in there but

dont overdo, whatever need you are satisfying. Spectacular beauty will characterize launches

in love or money, but it might be well to take overweening charm with a barrel of salt.

Nevertheless, go ahead and revel in it.

 

14 Mar             Venus Trines Mars                 00:28 am MST            09Taurus38

The energy to do what it takes to get what you want is easily at hand, so take a big scoop and

enjoy. Effortless give and take are in the atmosphere, so seek out mutually beneficial moves

and plug right in, no struggle necessary. Projects or commitments begun now will turn out

joyful and eminently satisfying for all.

 

14 Mar             Mars Trines Jupiter                02:51 am MST            09Virgo36Ñ

Acceleration is easy and an abundance of energy is available to fuel new projects, new

approaches. Exercise makes you only feel stronger and its a joy to push the envelope and

watch it grow bigger. Strain is a thing of the past, and outgoing, ebullient manners are the

order of the day.

 

14 Mar             Mars Trines Pluto                   05:34 pm MST            09Virgo23Ñ

Forceful action is highlighted by confidence and follow-through, which doubles the available

power at hand. Swing through, not at, the ball and it will fly straight and true. Todays

beginnings will grow self-reliant and reliable, fueled by faith and conviction that converts to

action anytime, anywhere.

 

14 Mar             Moon Squares Sun                 06:26 pm MST            24Sagittarius52

Uncertainty and shifting grounds can mark the days outcomes, and confidence may retreat in

the face of a challenge. Confrontation is the wrong game to play, but pulling out entirely is

equally unsuitable. Make judicious compromise now and the resulting situation will improve,

but dont chase diminishing returns.

 

15 Mar             Moon Sextiles Saturn                         00:35 am MST            28Sagittarius23

The general air today is, lets 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.

 

15 Mar             Moon Enters Capricorn          03:24 am MST

Everybody is into getting down to business for a couple of days, though that may not

guarantee any business gets done. Its all about the proper attitude, however, so be cautious

how you let your hair down, lest you be thought too frivolous. Showing all your feelings isnt

the happening thing, for the moment, so tuck it in and toe the line.

 

15 Mar             Moon Sextiles Neptune          06:05 am MST            01Capricorn31

Words may convey a bit more emotional meaning than usual, as under-the-radar

communication makes inner messages clear. Spiritual deeds are done without a second

thought and life as usual has a certain glow. Filling out earlier-imagined schemes pays off

and keeping good company comes with ease.

 

15 Mar             Moon Squares Uranus           10:27 am MST            04Capricorn00

Dogfights and catfights may be happening almost anywhere, so make it a point not to join in.

Simply agree to disagree and move on, as its easy to get caught up in pointless rows.

Projects and relationships begun now will also tend to fall into disarray, so back off a bit until

you can take a second look.

 

15 Mar             Moon Squares Mercury         01:54 pm MST            05Capricorn57

This is probably a good time for all parties to back off a bit and make sure that what looks like

a great idea isnt actually a hidden misunderstanding. What feels right may be impractical or

misleading, so a second look is in order to avoid having to reposition later. Dont believe all

you hear, or all you say.

 

15 Mar             Moon Trines Mars                  07:18 pm MST            09Capricorn00

Today has strength and energy written all over it – a good time for a power breakfast, lunch,

or dinner and getting down to brass tacks on deals you want to see really pick up speed. Or a

good time for just getting out there and getting physical. A strong stride established today will

take you all the way to the finish line.

 

15 Mar             Moon Conjuncts Pluto            08:00 pm MST            09Capricorn23

Suppressed feelings can be transformed into compulsive actions all around, so it may be a

good time to question motives, both your own and others. If you just have to do or say it,

perhaps you shouldnt. Force plays are favored, just make sure youre not on the wrong end

of one. Think deep before you push hard.

 

15 Mar             Moon Trines Jupiter                09:00 pm MST            09Capricorn57

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 its easy to see the good side of anyone — just remember

there may be other sides, too.

 

16 Mar             Moon Trines Venus                00:11 am MST            11Capricorn44

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 youve 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.

 

17 Mar             Moon Sextiles Sun                 04:12 am MST            27Capricorn16

Taking it easy and letting things happen will let opportunities continue to grow that are

already underway. Situations beginning now will be cooperative and helpful to you as they

progress. A general atmosphere of getting along together prevails and will continue to if you

just go with the flow.

 

17 Mar             Moon Squares Saturn            06:01 am MST            28Capricorn15

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

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

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

to start your engine.

 

17 Mar             Moon Enters Aquarius            09:12 am MST

Being all things to all people is what its about for the next few days, which can cramp those

with a one-on-one heart-to-heart style. Cool sincerity is in the air, and lukewarm may be

mistaken for (or preferred to) hot. A great time for negotiations, but you may want to put off

headlong passion until theres more fuel for the flame.

 

17 Mar             Moon Sextiles Uranus            04:46 pm MST            04Aquarius08

A good day for small adventures, but dont push it into weirdness. New tastes and

experiences are easy to come upon and, once tried, may stick with you for a longtime.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, but dont sell the farm on a hunch. The environment is

volatile but not threatening, sort of a gently bouncing ride.

           

17 Mar             Moon Sextiles Mercury          05:46 pm MST            04Aquarius40

If things seem to be running smoothly around you, they are, so let them. Clear

understandings established now will have legs and serve you well as long as you dont push

them. Staying on the conservative side and reconfirming old patterns has more potential than

trying to emotionally break the mold.

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of March 4th ~ Curvy and Ripe Virgo Full Moon! ~ and Weekly Forecast for Each Sign

 

 

Hello everybody this is Skye Mackenna with the new, expanded SkyeWatch Weekly Energy Report… and this is for the Week beginning Sunday, March 4th,  2012…

You can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report.  You’ll find the link at my website, www.skyemackennaastrology.com.

Well… Here we are in the energy of both Mercury and Mars retrograde.  Mercury actually turns retrograde next week on March 12th, where he’ll remain in apparent backward motion until April 4th… but we’re already feeling this shift since we’re awash in his retrograde shadow right now.  Plus, we can expect this to be a particularly powerful Mercury retrograde because on the same day Jupiter will trine Pluto.  But more about that in next week’s SkyeWatch!

But for this week, our most potent energy is the very curvy and very ripe Virgo Full Moon that occurs on Thursday, March 8th.  Full moons always offer the possibility of the fulfillment of plans, hopes and dreams begun at the previous New Moon.  In this case that would be the New Moon that occurred on February 21st.  So, we should be thinking back to what we put in motion at that time to see what may be ‘fulfilling’ for us now.  We can also expect to be more emotional this week – and expect others around us to be as well!  And in Virgo, this juicy Full Moon is giving us the opportunity to step into self-nurturing and self-care.  Work, health and service will also be highlighted especially in the area where this Full Moon falls in our charts.  Details in our daily lives will be coming up to be handled, one way or the other… and keep in mind Virgo can be exacting – but for best results, we shouldn’t let that turn into rampant criticism – of ourselves or others!

And now this week, I want to talk about how this succulent Full Virgo 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

Fulfillment for you can arrive in your workplace – and in your health.  You can suddenly find yourself organized and productive in a very rewarding way. 

Taurus

Love and romance can blossom.  Your creativity can come full circle, too.  Be prepared to be presented with new romance.  Or romance with a partner from the past!

Gemini

Agreements can be finalized in or around your home.  Something you began in mid-February can reach a culmination.  Choices and decisions are at hand. 

Cancer

Words will be important.  Communications you’ve been waiting for can arrive leading to a new agreement.  Listen with your head not your heart.

Leo

Money and finances can come into flower.  The culmination of a plan or dream that helps you begin anew can reach you now.

Virgo

You personally are ready to bloom – if you haven’t already been doing so!  Expect to receive some personal recognition or fulfillment. 

Libra

Dreams will be speaking to you in profound ways.  Be ready to listen.  They’re leading you to a new rewarding path in life. 

Scorpio

Hopes and wishes are in line to be fulfilled.  Friends, groups and associations will be ready to assist and will move those hopes and wishes forward. 

Sagittarius

Expect some big energy, movement and communication in and about your career.  Keep an open mind if you’re approached in a fast or unusual way!  Recognition could arrive.

Capricorn

Learning and travel will be opening your horizons – and in an emotional way.  Be ready to respond to communications from or about distant people, places or things.

Aquarius

Other people’s money or resources can enrich your life – someone may get a promotion or raise that affects you, too.  And communications could get emotional now.

Pisces

Be open to increased communication with partners – marriage and otherwise.  You can clear the air and make some real changes now.

 DAILY-HOURLY ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING MARCH 4, 2012

…………………………………………………………………………………….

 

04 Mar             Venus Opposes Saturn          04:19 am MST            28 Aries56

Interrupted journeys of desire nevertheless proceed, but at a slower rate. If at first you dont

get what you want, try it again differently until you find your way around the roadblocks.

Where resources fall short, cleverness intercedes and patience perseveres. Fortunes are

seldom made overnight, so take one step at a time.

 

04 Mar             Moon Squares Saturn            02:21 pm MST            28 Cancer55

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

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

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

to start your engine.

 

04 Mar             Moon Squares Venus             03:18 pm MST            29 Cancer27

Watch out for conflicting goals and energy-wasting diminishing returns today. What may

seem like deceit could be just mixed emotions, or vice versa. Rather than jump into a stewpot,

let it boil a bit and see if it simmers down. When all get more certain of what they want, it will

be easier to move in concert together.

 

04 Mar             Moon Enters Leo                    04:19 pm 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.

 

04 Mar             Moon Trines Mercury                         09:58 pm MST            03 Leo09

Today is a good time to express your feelings with conviction, knowing that there will be

response in kind. Situations that arise now will have lasting clarity and a quality of self-

reinvention as they move along, as head and heart are on the same page and will tend to

remain that way.

 

04 Mar             Moon Trines Uranus               10:26 pm MST            03 Leo25

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 havent tried it, nows the time, whatever “it” may

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

 

05 Mar             Venus Enters Taurus                         03:25 am MST  

Theres sweetness in simplicity in the air, and the good old pleasures havent lost their appeal.

For the next few weeks, you dont need fancy cuisine to take a nice bite out of life, or so the

general opinion seems to run. If that leaves you yawning, just wait it out and live on whats

around until things spice up.

 

05 Mar             Mercury Conjunct Uranus      04:35 am MST            03 Aries25

Lightning-flash ideas lead to sudden, keen insights about how to make things work better.

Leading-edge inventiveness abounds, so get your patent in while its hot. In general, its a

good time for that “aha!” light bulb to go off over your head, so keep your mind open and write

down what comes to you.

 

05 Mar             Moon Squares Jupiter            06:21 am MST            07 Leo52

Its 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 youve 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.

 

06 Mar             Venus Sextiles Neptune         05:26 am MST            01 Taurus12

Good taste is everything and its at its most real when you dont even notice it. What feels

right, is, and theres no need to question it right now. Enjoy the drink thats already been

brewed and youll find it suits you more than you ever imagined as the rest of the world is in a

tasting mood, too.

 

06 Mar             Moon Sextiles Saturn                         06:29 pm MST            28 Leo49

The general air today is, lets 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.

 

06 Mar             Moon Enters Virgo                  08:28 pm MST  

If you regularly pick up each stitch, you wont 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 youre

ahead of expectations, youll have it locked up tight.

 

06 Mar             Moon Opposes Neptune        10:31 pm MST            01 Virgo13

As soon as the fog lifts, its 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.

06 Mar             Moon Trines Venus                11:53 pm MST            02 Virgo02

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 youve 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.

 

07 Mar             Moon Trines Jupiter                10:18 am MST            08 Virgo17

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 its easy to see the good side of anyone — just remember

there may be other sides, too.

 

07 Mar             Moon Trines Pluto                  11:56 am MST            09 Virgo16

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.

 

07 Mar             Moon Conjunct Mars              04:30 pm MST            12 Virgo02

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

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

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

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

 

08 Mar             Moon Opposes Sun               02:41 am MST            18 Virgo13

Full Moon in Virgo

This “Worm” Moon has more than the usual craziness of full Moon, it also has an in-and-outof-

focus quality that can change from moment to moment. Just when you think youve got

things pinned down, life goes into soft focus and you forget your line and have to wing it. Its

really hard to script whats going on, so maybe you shouldnt try too hard, and certainly dont

insist others toe the line, as theyre having the same issues. What you bring out of this period

will be better intuitive communication and a better understanding of just how unreliable preset

cues can be. Its less about saying what you mean, more about meaning what you say – even

if it isnt all that clear, it can still get across.

           

08 Mar             Moon Enters Libra                  09:51 pm MST           

Give and take are whats expected for the next couple of days, so expect to mix it up if youre

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

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

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

 

09 Mar             Moon Opposes Uranus          03:46 am MST            03 Libra39

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

or take offense. Choppy waters.

 

09 Mar             Moon Opposes Mercury        08:02 am MST            06 Libra17

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.

 

09 Mar             Moon Squares Pluto               12:54 pm MST            09 Libra18

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.

 

10 Mar             Moon Conjunct Saturn            08:10 pm MST            28 Libra37

The emotional waters are a bit on the cool side today and if you encounter the cold shoulder,

dont be surprised. Put a toe in the water before you jump in or you might run into the big chill.

People taking themselves too seriously abound, so try not to be one of them. Take it all with a

grain of salt instead.

 

10 Mar             Moon Enters Scorpio              10:25 pm MST  

The plot thickens, or seems to, for the next few days, as an atmosphere of open intensity and

perhaps hidden agendas raise passions and lower shades to facilitate what goes on behind

closed doors. Shallow and breezy wont do, but when everybodys trying to play the heavy,

take the melodrama with a grain of salt.

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of February 26th ~ Mercury into Fiery Aries! ~ and Weekly Forecast for Each Sign

 

Hello everybody this is Skye Mackenna with the new, expanded SkyeWatch Weekly Energy Report… and this is for the Week beginning Sunday, February 26th,  2012…

You can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report.  You’ll find the link at my website, www.skyemackennaastrology.com.

…………………………………………………………………………………….


Well…this week on Friday, March 2nd, Mercury enters Aries until March 23rd and impulsiveness will be in the air – in action and speech!  Fast words, awareness and insight will be around and in us.  And we’ll also want to be alert to saying things out of impatience or anger.  Burned bridges will be especially hard – or even impossible – to rebuild…partly due to Mercury’s approaching three-week retrograde that begins on March 12th.   In actuality, he’s already entered his “Retrograde Shadow”… oh joy, right?!  So already we should be lining our communication ducks up… This is THE ideal time to be checking our vehicles and backing up all forms of data.

 

We should also already be anticipating changes in our plans – and thinking “flexibility and patience!”  All forms of communication and transportation could be affected, and that includes talking, the internet, mail and email.  Beginning now, building flexibility into our plans to allow for possible later changes will help things progress more smoothly during Mercury’s official retrograde period and beyond!

 

Also, this week, the Sun will face off with retrograde Mars on Saturday, March 3rd – this is a time when sparks can fly!  Expect action no matter what!  Often this aspect brings anger and conflict – but it can also just bring us a surge of stimulating energy and extreme activity.   Accidents can also be a possibility, since the impulse is often to act first and think later – or not at all!  So slowing down before stepping over – or in – an obstacle , will be very beneficial for us… and/or finding a constructive outlet for any roiling emotions will also be good for us.

…………………………………………………………………………………….

And now this week, I want to talk about how Mercury’s move into fast-moving and fiery Aries will be affecting each sign – and as always,  this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…

Aries

Get ready to BE the communication!  Speak, write, people will be ready to listen!  State your case if you have one – and if you don’t, now’s the time to get one!  

Taurus

Your dream world will be rocking, Taurus!  Messages will be hot and heavy, and probably behind the scene in some way.  Be ready to respond. 

Gemini

Friends, groups and associations will be ready to play and will move your hopes and wishes forward.  Catch the wave – or be it! 

Cancer

Expect some big energy, movement and communication in and about your career.  Keep an open mind if you’re approached in a fast or unusual way!  But think first, then speak.

Leo

Learning and travel will be opening your horizons – and very fast.  Be ready to respond to communications from or about distant people, places or things.

Virgo

Other people’s money or resources can become available to you soon – someone may get a promotion or raise that affects you, too.  And communications could get pretty warm and toasty!

Libra

Be open to increased communication with partners – marriage and otherwise.  You can clear the air and make some real changes now.    

Scorpio

Your workplace and daily routine will have fires lit under them now.  Communications come fast and furious about your job, and you can also get successfully busy with your health and fitness.

Sagittarius

Action will be happening in the love and romance areas of your life – and your creativity will be off the charts.  Use this time with excitement!

Capricorn

Changes, messages and agreements in and about your home and family will be moving your life forward now.  New offers may come to you in or regarding your home.

Aquarius

Doors open wide in communications of all kind and solid agreements can be reached.  The written word will be important to you now. Listen with your head not your heart.

Pisces

Messages will be arriving related to your finances, and new offers may surprise you.  Think outside the box – and think before you discount a new idea.

DAILY-HOURLY ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING FEBRUARY 26, 2012

…………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………….

26 Feb             Moon Opposes Saturn           05:52 am MST            29Aries12

The environment is running hot and cold today, and just as you think youre warming up to

someone, they can suddenly turn negative. Similarly, projects undertaken today can turn out

ambivalent and hobbled down the line, so wait, if you can, to make commitments. That, in

itself, is exactly whats in the air.

 

26 Feb             Moon Enters Taurus               07:30 am MST

The next couple of days can be solid launching ground for anything you choose to embark

upon, especially if its down to earth to begin with. The time to be hasty or flighty has flown,

the atmosphere favors practical beauty, the grace of being in touch with nature itself.

Simplicity works, traditional fare is ever elegant.

 

26 Feb             Moon Sextiles Neptune          09:15 am MST            00Taurus52

Words may convey a bit more emotional meaning than usual, as under-the-radar

communication makes inner messages clear. Spiritual deeds are done without a second

thought and life as usual has a certain glow. Filling out earlier-imagined schemes pays off

and keeping good company comes with ease.

 

26 Feb             Moon Conjuncts Jupiter         08:43 pm MST            06Taurus31

This most fruitful day has the potential to give birth to all kinds of positive ideas and feelings –

or simply to give birth, literally. Emotions burst out into laughter or song, playfulness abounds,

and there can seem like there is no limit to whats out there for you. Take the ball and run with

it now and youll go far.

 

26 Feb             Moon Sextiles Sun                 11:53 pm MST            08Taurus05

Taking it easy and letting things happen will let opportunities continue to grow that are

already underway. Situations beginning now will be cooperative and helpful to you as they

progress. A general atmosphere of getting along together prevails and will continue to if you

just go with the flow.

 

27 Feb             Moon Trines Pluto                  01:55 am MST            09Taurus05

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.

 

27 Feb             Moon Trines Mars                  03:09 pm MST            15Taurus35

Today has strength and energy written all over it – a good time for a power breakfast, lunch,

or dinner and getting down to brass tacks on deals you want to see really pick up speed. Or a

good time for just getting out there and getting physical. A strong stride established today will

take you all the way to the finish line.

 

28 Feb             Sun Sextiles Pluto                  00:12 am MST            09Pisces06

Quiet self-confidence allows forward motion without interference and without making waves.

If you look like you know where youre going, the crowd will part to let you pass.

Commitments or relationships begun now will share that enduring quality and make it easily

through the storms of life and into the sunshine.

 

28 Feb             Moon Sextiles Mercury          12:46 pm MST            26Taurus13

If things seem to be running smoothly around you, they are, so let them. Clear

understandings established now will have legs and serve you well as long as you dont push

them. Staying on the conservative side and reconfirming old patterns has more potential than

trying to emotionally break the mold.

 

28 Feb             Moon Enters Gemini              08:28 pm MST  

Words abound and messages fly for the next couple of days, when talk will be cheap but

follow-through may not be. Its a good time for making new contacts and developing old ones,

and for putting your finger on feelings that have been waiting the right kind of expression. Say

what you mean, but dont be afraid to change it, refine it, on the fly.

 

28 Feb             Moon Squares Neptune         10:24 pm MST            00Gemini58

Mirages may pop up at any time, even if youre not in the desert. Feelings and internal visions

can get muddled, and emotional miscommunication, either unintended or on purpose, may

get in the way. Misentanglements can snowball, so be ready to cut loose and try again later.

Avoid long-term commitments.

 

29 Feb             Moon Sextiles Uranus            02:50 am MST            03Gemini09

A good day for small adventures, but dont push it into weirdness. New tastes and

experiences are easy to come upon and, once tried, may stick with you for a longtime.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, but dont sell the farm on a hunch. The environment is

volatile but not threatening, sort of a gently bouncing ride.

 

29 Feb             Moon Squares Sun                 06:22 pm MST            10Gemini52

Uncertainty and shifting grounds can mark the days outcomes, and confidence may retreat in

the face of a challenge. Confrontation is the wrong game to play, but pulling out entirely is

equally unsuitable. Make judicious compromise now and the resulting situation will improve,

but dont chase diminishing returns.

 

01 Mar             Moon Squares Mars               01:54 am MST            14Gemini38

Feelings and actions at cross-purposes make this days blank slate one that you might not

want to write much on, but just write it off. Under any circumstances, dont be hasty, and try

not to repeat yourself too many times because you didnt hit the mark with the first shot.

Accept uncertainty, and certainty will arrive soon enough.

 

02 Mar             Moon Sextiles Venus                         01:30 am MST            26Gemini35

Its a good day for agreements and generally patting each other on the back — or, maybe, for

scratching each others backs. It will be easy to see eye-to-eye, and shared goals and

feelings can be put into action to bring later results. Mutual investment, mutual trust, and

relaxed progress are all in the atmosphere.

 

02 Mar             Mercury Enters Aries                         04:41 am MST  

Everybodys going to be quick-witted for a few weeks, or at least will be giving it a try, which

means foot-in-mouth syndrome escalates, as people speak before they think. Nevertheless,

theres a sharpening of minds that cuts waste and makes for rapid-fire unfoldment of ideas.

Follow-through after the onrush will be the challenge.

 

02 Mar             Moon Trines Saturn                06:14 am MST            29Gemini01

Theres a certain stability in the general atmosphere that makes it safe to say what you feel,

but not too much. Conservation of emotion might be the phrase. Its a time to be mutually

reassuring, rather than wildly supportive; projects launched will be stable, though, perhaps

not very showy.

 

02 Mar             Moon Enters Cancer              08:09 am MST  

Expect feelings to get a little more intense for the next few days, particularly due to bottled-up

emotions that people are trying to keep a lid on. Its hard to say what you mean when theres

so much expectation to deliver on every hand. Best to be utterly sincere but not say too much

that might set off hidden nerves or be seen as space invasion.

 

02 Mar             Moon Squares Mercury         08:34 am MST            00Cancer13

This is probably a good time for all parties to back off a bit and make sure that what looks like

a great idea isnt actually a hidden misunderstanding. What feels right may be impractical or

misleading, so a second look is in order to avoid having to reposition later. Dont believe all

you hear, or all you say.

 

02 Mar             Moon Trines Neptune             10:12 am MST            01Cancer03

Its a good day for getting across those hard-to-express feelings without actually having to put

them into words. Intuitive antennae are up today and everyones getting good reception.

Projects that involved instinct or imagination are favored, time to go with your gut level

guidelines.

 

02 Mar             Moon Squares Uranus           02:30 pm MST            03Cancer17

Dogfights and catfights may be happening almost anywhere, so make it a point not to join in.

Simply agree to disagree and move on, as its easy to get caught up in pointless rows.

Projects and relationships begun now will also tend to fall into disarray, so back off a bit until

you can take a second look.

 

02 Mar             Moon Sextiles Jupiter             10:28 pm MST            07Cancer26

Good feelings may be taken for granted today, so you might go out of your way to appreciate

them. Positive elements today are the little things in life, so invest in the small for the long

haul and youll be sure of a return. Look to get dividends, not a big turnover, and youll be

right in the flow as they grow.

 

03 Mar             Moon Opposes Pluto              01:47 am MST            09Cancer11

Stop-and-go feelings make headway a tough go, with breakthroughs only after a mighty push.

Although its in the air, its not necessary — when its time to push, just dont. Wait, and the

barrier will go away. Nevertheless, its not an uninterrupted journey, but nothing a little

patience will not see you through.

 

03 Mar             Moon Trines Sun                    09:59 am MST            13Cancer31

Todays accomplishments have a confident feel where what you do matches what you feel

and results down the line will move well accordingly. Contacts made now will serve you well,

and you wont have to look back with suspicion or regret. If it feels right, it probably is, so put

your best foot forward and follow through.

 

03 Mar             Moon Sextiles Mars               10:19 am MST            13Cancer42

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.

 

03 Mar             Sun Opposes Mars                01:11 pm MST            13Pisces39

Intentions and the ability to fulfill them are a bit at odds and it can be two steps forward, one

step back for everyone. Resulting frustration can fuel disputes or engender discouragement,

but take it all in stride, its just part of the game. Stretch for that extra ounce of energy and

push on, push on.

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of December 18th ~ Mercury Direct and Weekly Forecast for Each Sign

 

 

Hello everybody this is Skye Mackenna with the new and hopefully improved SkyeWatch Weekly Energy Report… and this is for the Week beginning Sunday, December 18th,  2011… And you can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report.  You’ll find the link at my website, www.skyemackennaastrology.com.

 

…………………………………………………………………………………….

Well, this week seems to belong to delicious Venus – and fleet-footed Mercury is finally getting some legs under him so we’ll be seeing all sorts of things move forward in our lives.  Finally!  And…Venus will be entering Aquarius until January 14th, and love and beauty may be taking a breather and being a little more objective now.  Also, there may be an energy of experimentation and wanting to try new things and/or with new people.  Networking can be very potent now!   One thing to watch for this week is that on Tuesday, December 20th Venus will be squaring off with expansive Jupiter – and that can spell overindulgence with a capital O!  And that can relate to food, money and just plain over-optimism.  It will, however, be great for creativity!  And then on Wednesday, December 21st, Venus will dance with surprising Uranus – and spontaneity and the unexpected could dance into our lives.  Maybe even unexpected income!  Still, it’ll definitely add some fuel to the urge to overspend in money or energy!  But do watch for some tasty surprises this week!

…………………………………………………………………………………….

And now this week, I want to talk about how Mercury’s forward movement in Sagittarius will be affecting each sign.  And as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it… and be sure to read the SkyeWatch blog for a weekly/hourly forecast for the entire week)…

DAILY-HOURLY ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING DECEMBER 11TH, 2011

Copyright 2003 Matrix Software – Big Rapids, MI 49307

 

18 Dec Moon Enters Libra 01:07 am 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.

 

18 Dec Moon Opposite Uranus 02:15 am MST 00 Libra40′

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.

 

18 Dec  Venus Square Saturn 07:19 am MST  27 Capricorn19′

Whittling away at your needs too insistently may only serve to magnify them and force a

spiraling return to an overtapped well. If you take what you need and be done with it, what

you have will suffice, even if you have some reservations. Total satisfaction may have to wait

a bit, complaints don’t help, only annoy.

 

18 Dec Moon Sextile Mercury 10:24 am MST  05 Libra28′

If things seem to be running smoothly around you, they are, so let them. Clear

understandings established now will have legs and serve you well as long as you don’t push

them. Staying on the conservative side and reconfirming old patterns has more potential than

trying to emotionally break the mold.

 

18 Dec Moon Square Pluto 12:45 pm MST  06 Libra51′

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.

 

19 Dec  Sun Sextile Saturn 09:25 am MST  27 Sag24′

Small investments are the safest, and small returns mount up. Conservative thinking can pay

off if you don’t make a big deal out of it. Any boat you launch now will be hard to rock, even in

a storm, so it’s a good time to ease her away from the dock and put gradually to sea. The

world awaits, but don’t rush.

 

19 Dec Moon Conjunct Saturn 11:19 pm MST  27 Libra27′

The emotional waters are a bit on the cool side today and if you encounter the cold shoulder,

don’t be surprised. Put a toe in the water before you jump in or you might run into the big chill.

People taking themselves too seriously abound, so try not to be one of them. Take it all with a

grain of salt instead.

 

20 Dec Moon Sextile  Sun 00:17 am MST  28 Libra02′

Taking it easy and letting things happen will let opportunities continue to grow that are

already underway. Situations beginning now will be cooperative and helpful to you as they

progress. A general atmosphere of getting along together prevails and will continue to if you

just go with the flow.

 

20 Dec Moon Trine Neptune 01:13 am MST  28 Libra36′

It’s a good day for getting across those hard-to-express feelings without actually having to put

them into words. Intuitive antennae are up today and everyone’s getting good reception.

Projects that involved instinct or imagination are favored, time to go with your gut level

guidelines.

 

20 Dec Moon Square  Venus 02:49 am MST  29 Libra33′

Watch out for conflicting goals and energy-wasting diminishing returns today. What may

seem like deceit could be just mixed emotions, or vice versa. Rather than jump into a stewpot,

let it boil a bit and see if it simmers down. When all get more certain of what they want, it will

be easier to move in concert together.

 

20 Dec Moon Enters Scorpio 03:33 am MST

The plot thickens, or seems to, for the next few days, as an atmosphere of open intensity and

perhaps hidden agendas raise passions and lower shades to facilitate what goes on behind

closed doors. Shallow and breezy won’t do, but when everybody’s trying to play the heavy,

take the melodrama with a grain of salt.

 

20 Dec Moon Opposite Jupiter 04:15 am MST  00 Scorpio25′

Rip tides of emotion swing and sway today, so make sure you don’t get carried away in the

undertow. The surroundings are turbulent but highly positive, so in order to pick up on them

you may have to tighten your focus — be ready to hop on board as the train rushes past.

When it’s over, it leaves everyone breathless.

 

20 Dec  Venus Enters Aquarius 11:26 am MST

Everything is worth a try for the next few weeks, and branching out to have a little of each is

what it’s all about. That of course includes taking the banal with the sublime, and if mixed

tastes are not your style you may want to tread water for a while. On the other hand, there will

be some dishes up for grabs you wish you’d known about earlier, so don’t turn a blind eye.

 

20 Dec  Sun Sextile Neptune 01:47 pm MST  28 Sag37′

Implicit understandings based on mutual visions are the opportunity of the day, so don’t take

your dreams for granted. What you share with others on the inner front greases the path to

harmony and profit, so anything you can cook up along those lines will provide you with a

tangible window to your imagination.

 

20 Dec Moon Sextile Pluto 03:01 pm MST  06 Scorpio56′

A sense of easy power without display makes working behind the scenes easier and waiting

for rewards more profitable. If you know you’re going to win, you needn’t show it, and all kinds

of competition and conflict is avoided. That goes for the rest of the world, too — win-win is

definitely the way to go.

 

20 Dec  Venus Square Jupiter 07:20 pm MST  00 Aquarius24′

An inclination to overdo beyond diminishing returns is fueled by the desire to get things just

right. One more added touch, just another taste, try it once again, until satisfaction goes out

the window. Sometimes less really is more, even if it doesn’t seem like it, so backing off may

save you both time and money.

 

21 Dec  Venus Sextile Uranus 00:57 am MST  00 Aquarius42′

You don’t have to go crazy trying to discover new sensations. Sometimes the slightest

variation in a time-honored recipe will turn things around with hardly any effort. Try a new

ingredient, a new position, a new side road — you’ll be surprised what’s just next door and

around the corner, and who’s doing it, too.

 

21 Dec Moon Sextile Mars 07:57 am MST  17 Scorpio11′

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.

 

21 Dec  Sun Enters Capricorn 10:30 pm MST

New Year’s resolutions are just part of the getting-earnest style of the next month, where

sincerity, business, and sometimes desperation are the drivers which themselves lose steam

when the New Year turns out to be just another new year. Pretending deadly seriousness can

be a kick, but living it is a drag, so play there, but don’t stay there.

 

22 Dec Moon Square Neptune 02:49 am MST  28 Scorpio39′

Mirages may pop up at any time, even if you’re not in the desert. Feelings and internal visions

can get muddled, and emotional miscommunication, either unintended or on purpose, may

get in the way. Misentanglements can snowball, so be ready to cut loose and try again later.

Avoid long-term commitments.

 

22 Dec Moon Enters Sag 05:03 am MST

The first reaction all around is a good laugh, especially when people are surprised by the

open truth. For the next couple of days, honesty is a pleasure and has crowd appeal, too, so

don’t be afraid to speak out without taking yourself too seriously. Big ideas are favored, but

may be slim on details.

 

22 Dec Moon Trine Uranus 06:13 am MST  00 Sag42′

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.

 

22 Dec  Sun Trine Jupiter 07:33 am MST  00 Capricorn23′

If you want your plans to develop on track and evolve big time, this is the time to lay them on

the table. Imagination and inspiration go hand in hand with motivation and coordination more

than usual, so bring everybody together in that spirit and you’ll have an operation that can’t be

beat.

 

22 Dec Moon Sextile  Venus 08:54 am MST  02 Sag20′

It’s a good day for agreements and generally patting each other on the back — or, maybe, for

scratching each other’s backs. It will be easy to see eye-to-eye, and shared goals and

feelings can be put into action to bring later results. Mutual investment, mutual trust, and

relaxed progress are all in the atmosphere.

 

22 Dec  Sun Square Uranus 03:14 pm MST  00 Capricorn43′

Abrasiveness and annoyance are qualities you might be running into right now, so make sure

you’re not displaying them yourself. Impatience is not a virtue, even if you know you’re right,

and it’s easy for everyone to pointlessly butt heads. Schemes laid now may well be half-baked,

so take a second look, maybe a third.

 

22 Dec Moon Conjunct Mercury 08:11 pm MST  09 Sag11′

Time to be quick and make smart deals as the intellectual pace around you quickens. Where

you can put emotions into words, you will be at the top of the heap, as that’s going to be the

way to connect and build on your connections right now. Feelings get aired and a greater

sense of control and satisfaction results.

 

23 Dec Moon Square Mars 10:31 am MST  17 Sag51′

Feelings and actions at cross-purposes make this day’s blank slate one that you might not

want to write much on, but just write it off. Under any circumstances, don’t be hasty, and try

not to repeat yourself too many times because you didn’t hit the mark with the first shot.

Accept uncertainty, and certainty will arrive soon enough.

 

24 Dec Moon Sextile Saturn 03:04 am MST  27 Sag46′

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.

 

24 Dec Moon Sextile Neptune 04:36 am MST  28 Sag42′

Words may convey a bit more emotional meaning than usual, as under-the-radar

communication makes inner messages clear. Spiritual deeds are done without a second

thought and life as usual has a certain glow. Filling out earlier-imagined schemes pays off

and keeping good company comes with ease.

 

24 Dec Moon Conjunct Capricorn 06:48 am MST  00 Capricorn00′

Everybody is into getting down to business for a couple of days, though that may not

guarantee any business gets done. It’s all about the proper attitude, however, so be cautious

how you let your hair down, lest you be thought too frivolous. Showing all your feelings isn’t

the happening thing, for the moment, so tuck it in and toe the line.

 

24 Dec Moon Trine Jupiter 07:25 am MST  00 Capricorn22′

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.

 

24 Dec Moon Square Uranus 08:01 am MST  00 Capricorn44′

Dogfights and catfights may be happening almost anywhere, so make it a point not to join in.

Simply agree to disagree and move on, as it’s easy to get caught up in pointless rows.

Projects and relationships begun now will also tend to fall into disarray, so back off a bit until

you can take a second look.

 

24 Dec Moon Conjunct  Sun 11:07 am MST  02 Capricorn34′

New Moon in Capricorn

When new year’s resolutions are based on fact, they’re hardly resolutions anymore, just

projections. So get a realistic perspective and make that your prospective and you’ll be ahead

of the game. It’s time for the new, but the new that you know and can rely upon. A small, firm

start is twice as good as a big, false one that has to be redone from scratch. Once you have

your foot in the door, you can bust it down with the next push. It feels compulsory to do

something right now, but the choice of action is up to you. This month, let it grow out of your

experience, not your speculations, however fertile they may be.

 

24 Dec Moon Conjunct Pluto 06:43 pm MST  07 Capricorn04′

Suppressed feelings can be transformed into compulsive actions all around, so it may be a

good time to question motives, both your own and others’. If you just have to do or say it,

perhaps you shouldn’t. Force plays are favored, just make sure you’re not on the wrong end

of one. Think deep before you push hard.

 

25 Dec Moon Trine Mars 02:12 pm MST  18 Capricorn29′

Today has strength and energy written all over it – a good time for a power breakfast, lunch,

or dinner and getting down to brass tacks on deals you want to see really pick up speed. Or a

good time for just getting out there and getting physical. A strong stride established today will

take you all the way to the finish line.

 

25 Dec Jupiter turns Direct 02:19 pm MST

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of December 11th ~ Mercury Direct, Powerful Lunar Eclipse ~ and Weekly Forecast for Each Sign

 

Hello everybody this is Skye Mackenna with the new and hopefully improved SkyeWatch Weekly Energy Report…

This is for the Week beginning Sunday, December 11th,  2011… And you can also listen to the SkyeWatch Energy Report at ww.achieveradio.com.

And visit my website at www.skyemackennaastrology.com…

. . . . .  

 

Well, 2012 is right around the corner – and what a year we’ve had!  It’s hard to believe that a whole year has passed – and it’s time to start planning for the new year – if we haven’t already!

 

And right on schedule, this week the energy is all about moving forward…

 

Mercury ends his last three-week retrograde period of the year on Tuesday, December 13th – at last!  So, now we can expect information to get flowing more easily, and any communications that have been problematic, snarled or delayed will also start working as Mercury picks up his speed during the coming weeks.  And, hallelujah, any misunderstandings are also on their way out – and we’ll all start to see clearly again!

 

For the last three weeks, since Mercury turned retrograde on November 24, we’ve been required to take a look at and review just about everything before we could move forward.  Now, we’ll be able to take action and  plan for the new year ahead!  All in perfect timing!

 

We’re also still very much being influenced by the December 10th Lunar eclipse in Gemini – and we will for the next six months or so.  Our thoughts and words are especially powerful  now  and we’ll become more aware  that those thoughts have the ability to either keep us stuck in the past – or heal it.  This will be an ongoing theme so we should set our intentions and move toward them.  Especially as we’re closing out this year and beginning the next, we’ll want to be clear about what we want to achieve and BE.  And since Uranus turned direct almost at the same time as the Eclipse, we’ll want to be ready to make changes on a dime and move quickly if necessary – and it likely will be!    

 

This is the companion to the Solar Eclipse we experienced on November 25th of this year, and about 18 years ago in May and June of 1993, there were eclipses that also occurred very near the same sign and degree – so think back to that time and you may see what kind of changes this Eclipse may bring. 

. . . .

 

And now this week, I want to talk about the powerful Lunar Eclipse in Gemini and how it will be affecting each sign.  And as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…

(and be sure to read the SkyeWatch blog for a weekly, hourly forecast for the entire week)

There can be a potential increase in your finances during the next six months of this eclipse period and your finances and money can increase in surprising ways, too.

Scorpio

Your partner may receive a raise or promotion that benefits you, too – and letting go of past restrictions will be a theme for you.  deep feelings can come up for you now.

Sagittarius

The emphasis is on you and your relationships to others. Relationships and partnerships of all kinds can become exciting for you – and be ready for them to go to new levels.

Capricorn

This energy is great for your job and career success. Look for opportunities and promotions, and even an opportunity for advancement in your work. A healthier lifestyle can also find you!

You could start a relationship or will end one. And this is a great eclipse period for creativity. Watch for fun and pleasure to increase over the next couple of months.

DAILY-HOURLY ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING DECEMBER 11TH, 2011

Copyright 2003 Matrix Software – Big Rapids, MI 49307

 

11 Dec      Moon Trine Neptune 03:25 am MST 28ÒGemini 25′

It’s a good day for getting across those hard-to-express feelings without actually having to put

them into words. Intuitive antennae are up today and everyone’s getting good reception.

Projects that involved instinct or imagination are favored, time to go with your gut level

guidelines.

 

11 Dec      Moon Enters Cancer 06:27 am MST

Expect feelings to get a little more intense for the next few days, particularly due to bottled-up

emotions that people are trying to keep a lid on. It’s hard to say what you mean when there’s

so much expectation to deliver on every hand. Best to be utterly sincere but not say too much

that might set off hidden nerves or be seen as space invasion.

 

11 Dec      Moon Square Uranus 07:41 am MST  00ÒCancer39′

Dogfights and catfights may be happening almost anywhere, so make it a point not to join in.

Simply agree to disagree and move on, as it’s easy to get caught up in pointless rows.

Projects and relationships begun now will also tend to fall into disarray, so back off a bit until

you can take a second look.

 

11 Dec      Moon Sextile Jupiter 07:50 am MST  00ÒCancer43′

Good feelings may be taken for granted today, so you might go out of your way to appreciate

them. Positive elements today are the little things in life, so invest in the small for the long

haul and you’ll be sure of a return. Look to get dividends, not a big turnover, and you’ll be

right in the flow as they grow.

 

11 Dec      Moon Opposite Pluto 07:04 pm MST  06ÒCancer37′

Stop-and-go feelings make headway a tough go, with breakthroughs only after a mighty push.

Although it’s in the air, it’s not necessary — when it’s time to push, just don’t. Wait, and the

barrier will go away. Nevertheless, it’s not an uninterrupted journey, but nothing a little

patience will not see you through.

 

12 Dec      Moon Sextile Mars 09:09 am MST  14ÒCancer04′

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.

 

12 Dec      Moon Opposite Venus 09:28 pm MST  20ÒCancer38′

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.

 

13 Dec      Moon Square Saturn 09:06 am MST  26ÒCancer54′

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.

 

13 Dec      Moon Enters Leo 02:49 pm 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.

 

13 Dec      Moon Square Jupiter 03:57 pm MST  00ÒLeo37′

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.

 

13 Dec      Moon Trine Uranus 04:00 pm MST  00ÒLeo39′

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.

 

13 Dec      Mercury Ô 06:43 pm MST  03ÒSag51′

Several weeks of greater confusion than you’d have liked are on their way out and you can

get back to what you were doing with a bit more confidence and sense of purpose. Getting

roadblocks out of the way allows you to chart a surer course and feel better about what you

are doing and what kind of commitments you can make and live up to. Red herrings and

detours can be put behind you as you get back onto a map everybody can buy into. The cost

of delays and uncertainties is made up for by knowing that they no longer impede and that

you can now throttle up and get on some real speed.

 

13 Dec      Moon Trine Mercury 09:54 pm MST  03ÒLeo51′

Today is a good time to express your feelings with conviction, knowing that there will be

response in kind. Situations that arise now will have lasting clarity and a quality of self-

reinvention as they move along, as head and heart are on the same page and will tend to

remain that way.

 

15 Dec      Moon Trine Sun 09:07 am MST  23ÒLeo19′

Today’s accomplishments have a confident feel where what you do matches what you feel

and results down the line will move well accordingly. Contacts made now will serve you well,

and you won’t have to look back with suspicion or regret. If it feels right, it probably is, so put

your best foot forward and follow through.

 

15 Dec      Moon Sextile Saturn 03:50 pm MST  27ÒLeo06′

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.

 

15 Dec      Moon Opposite Neptune 06:20 pm MST  28ÒLeo31′

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.

 

15 Dec      Moon Enters Virgo 08:59 pm 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.

 

15 Dec      Moon Trine Jupiter 09:55 pm MST  00ÒVirgo32′

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.

 

16 Dec      Moon Square Mercury 04:36 am MST  04ÒVirgo19′

This is probably a good time for all parties to back off a bit and make sure that what looks like

a great idea isn’t actually a hidden misunderstanding. What feels right may be impractical or

misleading, so a second look is in order to avoid having to reposition later. Don’t believe all

you hear, or all you say.

 

16 Dec      Moon Trine Pluto 08:56 am MST  06ÒVirgo47′

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

 

17 Dec      Moon Conjunct Mars 00:34 am MST  15ÒVirgo44′

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.

 

17 Dec      Moon Square Sun 05:48 pm MST  25ÒVirgo44′

Uncertainty and shifting grounds can mark the day’s outcomes, and confidence may retreat in

the face of a challenge. Confrontation is the wrong game to play, but pulling out entirely is

equally unsuitable. Make judicious compromise now and the resulting situation will improve,

but don’t chase diminishing returns.

 

17 Dec      Moon Trine Venus 07:29 pm MST  26ÒVirgo43′

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.

 

18 Dec      Moon enters Libra 01:07 am MST  00ÒLibra00′

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.

 

18 Dec      Moon Opposite Uranus 02:15 am MST  00ÒLibra40′

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.

 

18 Dec      Venus Square Saturn 07:19 am MST  27ÒCap19′

Whittling away at your needs too insistently may only serve to magnify them and force a

spiraling return to an overtapped well. If you take what you need and be done with it, what

you have will suffice, even if you have some reservations. Total satisfaction may have to wait

a bit, complaints don’t help, only annoy.

 

18 Dec      Moon Sextile Mercury 10:24 am MST  05ÒLibra28′

If things seem to be running smoothly around you, they are, so let them. Clear

understandings established now will have legs and serve you well as long as you don’t push

them. Staying on the conservative side and reconfirming old patterns has more potential than

trying to emotionally break the mold.

 

18 Dec      Moon Square Pluto 12:45 pm MST  06ÒLibra51′

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.

 

19 Dec      Sun Sextile Saturn 09:25 am MST  27ÒSag24′

Small investments are the safest, and small returns mount up. Conservative thinking can pay

off if you don’t make a big deal out of it. Any boat you launch now will be hard to rock, even in

a storm, so it’s a good time to ease her away from the dock and put gradually to sea. The

world awaits, but don’t rush.

 

19 Dec      Moon Conjunct Saturn 11:19 pm MST  27ÒLibra27′

The emotional waters are a bit on the cool side today and if you encounter the cold shoulder,

don’t be surprised. Put a toe in the water before you jump in or you might run into the big chill.

People taking themselves too seriously abound, so try not to be one of them. Take it all with a

grain of salt instead.
