So… we’ve got the wind at our backs, we’re holding onto our hats, here’s the week ahead beginning Sunday, April 17th, 2011…


.     .     .     .     .


Well, as usual, we’re looking at some very powerful shifts and changing energies coming up this week.  Among other things, 

 

Mars faces off with Saturn – and these two planets are still part of that Grand Cardinal Cross or Climax we all grew to love from last summer.  This one could bring up some tempers…

 

Communicator Mercury will (finally it seems!) turn direct this week in Aries,

the life-giving Sun moves into lush Taurus,

Venus gets feisty in Aries, and…

 

On Sunday, April 17th, we have the third Super Moon in a row – and this time it’s a Super Full Moon in Libra – which happens at the same time fiery Mars and the still retrograde Mercury will be conjunct, and together facing off with Saturn – AND squaring off with Pluto.   So, while a Libra Full Moon is usually a time of finding balance in partnerships and marriage – we may see a few more challenges or conflicts with this one.  And the energy of this one, of course, will be with us for the next couple of weeks. 

 


Then Monday, April 18th, the energy of the Mars/Saturn opposition is at our doorsteps.  We’ll be feeling this one for about a week before and after this date though, and it can bring success through hard work – and/or, in the alternative, it can bring us immovable objects we feel we absolutely MUST push against.  And if we insist on ramming that object without thinking, we’ll lose….and the object will win.  It will be essential for these two or three weeks, and especially today, to use boundaries and limitations – and hard work to recognize and get where we want to go.

 

 

Then on Tuesday, April 19th, Mercury will be conjunct Mars.  There are a lot of possibilities with this one!  We can experience this one as our minds and thoughts being on fire and our plans ignited…. but it can also bring in the energy of arguments – and even accidents, especially with vehicles – so we should be careful there!  However, good use of this combination would be to get ready to hit the ground running after Mercury turns direct on April 23rd.

 

 


And on Wednesday, April 20th, the radiant Sun enters lush Taurus through May 20th and we can begin to sense an unfolding energy, tranquility, and a groundedness in our lives.  This energy can bring some needed blossoming to our plans – but with all the other challenging aspects around us, we’ll want to be sure that Taurus’ grounded determination and willpower doesn’t turn into stubbornness.  We may also be less open to change over this month, but the Taurus Sun can bring some needed earthiness into our lives.  The finer things in life, even fresh flowers, will assist in opening our hearts now – and even planting in the garden or a pot will bring this thriving energy to us.

 

 


And the Taurus Sun also makes a delicious sextile aspect of opportunity with mystical Neptune today.   Inspired creativity and an active connection to our Higher Selves will come easy now.  Being in nature, even just sitting under a tree, can open doors of abundance to us.

 

 


Also on Wednesday April 20th,  Venus moves into fiery Aries where she’ll remain through May 15th.  Venus sizzles in Aries, and we’ll have energy to burn in all things Venus – and that’s money, beauty and love, passion, music, and creativity of all kinds – all of these things will be on fire for us.  Physical activity, and direct, spontaneous action will move us toward our goals, especially in finances and love.

 

 


And on Friday, April 4th, Venus will make an unsettling – or exciting – connection with surprising Uranus.  At the very least, we’ll ready to try something new!  And since Venus is involved, our finances could also be involved, so we may want to take care not to fall in love with that must-have, bright and shiny object if it’s going to drain our budgets!

 

 


Then the day a lot of us have been waiting for, Saturday, April 23rd, Mercury finally goes direct – and finally opening the door for our new projects.   However, our plans may feel a little stalled because, remember, Mercury is turning direct opposite Saturn.  But we can still expect our communications and plans to get going quickly in fast, decisive ways in just a few days.

 


.     .     .     .     .

Now… this week, I want to talk about this Super Full Moon in Libra, and how eac sign may experience it… And as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…

Aries

Since Full Moons bring closures and endings, you may find that some relationships either end – or that some parts of them end – so that something can become new in your life.  It will be important for you to find balance between your needs and the needs of “important others” in your life.

Taurus

Your work, daily routine and health are ready for balancing.  Taking care of business literally can smooth the way to new starts for you.  Some conclusion can finally occur in your work that brings a renewal. And be sure to take care of your health and fitness needs now.  That will pay big dividends for you!

Gemini

Get ready for some fun and love.  Allow yourself to express your creativity in whatever way brings you joy.  Also, you may find a love affair ending or you may finally release any old lingering longings to make way for new love in your life.

Cancer

Your home, family and private life may be the focus for you during this cycle.  Spending time nesting is encouraged right now.  And taking care of your home, inner and outer, will reap rewards in a very short time for you.

Leo

This is a time of communication for you.  Expect an increase in calls, emails, and messages.  It’s also a time for you to say ‘yes!’  And do write it all down!  Also, movement of all kinds will also benefit you and your abundance!

Virgo

Your income or financial status could change or expand.  New possibilities may present themselves that will lead to something new for you.  Listen to your inner voice to make big changes.  Your finances can blossom now1

Libra

You and your personal life are up for renewal now.  New ways of being, and new discoveries in your individuality may present themselves.  Find the balance between ‘you’ and ‘another’ without losing sight of your own needs and wants.  This is what will bring you success.

Scorpio

Pay attention to your dreams and allow your inner voice to speak now!  Take some time to step back and recharge.  You may feel a need for some alone time and this would be a perfect time for you to go within and rest.  Some secrets may also be revealed unexpectedly.

Sagittarius

Friends and associations will be a big benefit for you.  Network, get out and about and meet new people.  Some friendships or associations may phase out to make room for new ones.  It’s also a great time to take a look at and rethink your hopes and dreams now.

Capricorn

You may find renewal in your career and profession now.  Be ready to accept change and new success in your career.  You may also find you need to balance your home and work life now for the greatest success, but the benefits are there for you.

Aquarius

Your personal growth and widening horizons are on the agenda.  Higher education may also open doors for you now.  Try new experiences that allow fresh, new thinking.  Let old ways of thinking go.  Push forward in new ways!

Pisces

Changes in shared resources may occur for you.  Income or financial status could also change.  Be alert to new possibilities.  And allow deep emotions and insights to surface.  There’s renewal here that will lead to something new for you.

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of March 27th ~ Mercury Retrograde Alert… and Forecast for Each Sign…

So… we’ve got the wind at our backs, we’re holding onto our hats, here’s the week ahead beginning Sunday, March 27th, 2011…


.     .     .     .     .


Well, this week we’ve got more dramatic energy shifts … Venus will be showing us her softer side as she’s just moved into dreamy Pisces.  However, this week we’re also looking at the Sun squaring off with Pluto – AND Jupiter facing off with Saturn.  And if that’s not enough, our little fleet-footed friend Mercury will be standing in apparent stillness as he begins another three-week retrograde cycle – basically at the same time that fiery Mars moves into his own sign of Aries – where he’ll be meeting up with explosive Uranus… whoa!

 

Plus, in this month of March we have two major outer planetary bodies changing signs – Uranus into Aries for the first time in 84 years – and next week Neptune moves into Pisces for the first time in over 150 years!  Neptune has been traveling through independent Aquarius for the last 14 years – so think back to ’96 or ’97 and see what shifted then, because it’s shifting again.  The wonderful thing here is that Neptune in his own sign of Pisces is the most spiritual placement of any planet/sign combination.  The veils are thinning now.  And deep soul connectedness is rising.


And we’re also headed into a powerful time next week with the New Moon in Aries which will connect with the powerful Jupiter/Saturn opposition… Pluto will be turning retrograde – and Neptune will be making his change, too.  Some good news – finally – is that we can expect the energy of inspiration, idealism and spirituality to arise with Neptune in Pisces… that’s a very good thing right about now, don’t you think?!


Much more about all of these coming attractions in the next SkyeWatch, but for now let’s take a look at the week ahead of us!

 

.     .     .     .     .


Now, we start off the week on Sunday, March 27th, with luscious Venus moving into dreamily mystical Pisces where she’ll travel until April 21stThis very delicious placement can bring us the possibility of enormous creativity, heart-centered love, and compassion.  Poetry – intentional or otherwise – can envelope us.  We’ll be feeling deeply now in watery Pisces and can experience love and beauty, inspiration and harmony.  We’ll be letting our emotional barriers down now and feel a deep connection to those we love – and actually to all that’s around us. We can strengthen the bonds of our relationships now, and move from Venus’s travel through friendship-oriented Aquarius to the soul connection of Pisces.  We’ll be feeling more than talking now – and allowing our hearts to open will be a very good thing.

 

Artists of all kinds, writers, musicians, and craftsmen, will be in a magical element.  We’ll want to allow ourselves to be receptive on a soul level, but not give away the farm!  We may feel so open-hearted and compassionate that we can be vulnerable to disappointment in others, or outright deception.  So, we should be open – but not foolish!  Beautiful music, art, and soft sensual moments will be just the healing touch we’ve been needing and waiting for… Fortunately, this energy will be around us till April 21st… because the rest of the week, starting with Monday, March 28th, can be more than a little challenging for us.

 

And on Monday, March 28th, Jupiter in Aries will oppose Saturn in Libra – AND the Sun in Aries will square off with Pluto in Capricorn.

Think of all this energy as essentially a tug of war between the giant expansive, freedom-seeking Jupiter, and careful, responsible, and powerfully determined Saturn.  This is another one of those ouch moments.  Something has to give.

 

And remember, these two giants are part of the group that made up the Cardinal Cross, or Cardinal climax that we experienced last August, 2010, and we can expect it to be drawing in some of that Cardinal Cross energy again.   Fortunately, this is the final passage of this transit, but during this period of time we’ll probably be faced with using what we learned last year.  We may find ourselves needing to reorganize – essentially and finally – so that old doors can be broken down and new opportunities can be allowed to come into our lives.   And it’s possible that things could get turbulent, disorderly, confused, and a little chaotic, especially if we haven’t done our homework.  The wake-up call could be kind of rude – but ultimately it’s bringing newness and good to our lives!

 

And with the Sun squaring off with Pluto on the same day, this is NOT the day to force any issue that we don’t absolutely have to.  If we butt our heads into a brick wall, we can probably already guess who’ll win…  We can, however, feel deeply determined to succeed.  And we can.  But for today, it will be to our benefit to take a deep breath – and wait for a better moment to act.

 

And then, on Wednesday, March 30th, Mercury begins his retrograde cycle, also in fiery, impulsive Aries, until April 23rd… When Mercury is retrograde its typically a better course of action just to rethink, rehash, reflect, and tie up old loose ends – than beginning new endeavors.  And it’s also a perfect time to research, review, repair, revise, and reassess – any of the “re-“ words work here!  We should also be flexible in our schedules and travel, re-read all the fine-print, leave lots of time for “re-scheduled” appointments – and if at all possible, avoid signing contracts, buying big-ticket items, especially vehicles and computer equipment – and put off significant decisions until after Mercury returns to direct motion.  Actually, I’d wait about a week or so after the exact date Mercury turns direct.  Of course, life doesn’t always comply with our – or Mercury’s – schedule, so we should absolutely live our life – just be sure to keep the receipts and phone numbers handy!   And with Mercury in aggressive Aries, we should also be prepared for the unexpected to bolt into our lives with more than a little speed.

 

Then on Friday, April 1st, sizzling Mars will move into blazing Aries, until May 11th…and our thoughts, feelings, and plans will be sizzling, too!  Passion, enthusiasm, and assertiveness will be hard to contain for the next few weeks.  Coupled with Mercury retrograde in Aries, however, we may need to be especially alert to that fast, forward, impulsive energy – and NOT give in to rash actions – might not be easy for us to do either!   We CAN make this time work, though, if we can focus the energy into a goal we’re passionate about!  We’ll be courageous and brave now….  No recklessness though!  And NO SPEEDING!  Retrograde Mercury just loves to give out speeding tickets!

 

And finally, on Saturday, April 2nd, romantic Venus with form a 60 degree aspect of opportunity with deep, intense Pluto, and our close relationships can go deeper, and become more authentic.  And our creative natures can take a powerful turn.  We should also be alert and watch for opportunities to come to us from hidden or unexpected sources, and be ready to take full advantage of them!

 

An ancient Chinese proverb says, “May you live in interesting times” – and we’re certainly doing that!  Wouldn’t you say?!


.     .     .     .     .


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

Aries

Your personal life is up for a re-think. Adjustments to your Self, your beliefs – even your appearance may arise.  Don’t be hasty in making changes in your personal life.  Take your time and consider all angles carefully.

Taurus

Secrets may be discovered or revealed.  Don’t act immediately on any new information.  Think it through first.  And you may also find people returning to you from somewhere in the past for review or re-examination.

Gemini

Friends or groups may cause or bring misunderstandings.  Communicate clearly with friends and associates to avoid unnecessary disagreements.  You may also find old friends or associates from the past returning to your circle.

Cancer

You may find yourself rethinking your career direction.  Just think about it for now.  Act later on!  And also be sure to speak clearly and concisely with superiors and co-workers to avoid creating problems that may need to be cleared up later.

Leo

There could be some unexpected opportunities presented to you for travel or learning.  But be sure to double check plans, especially when traveling.  You may find yourself reconsidering creative goals that have been on your wish list.

Virgo

Matters related to joint income, taxes, inheritances or other people’s money could return for another look.  Consider offers carefully.  Read any fine print and, if you can, wait before making any decisions about finances, especially if they involve others.

Libra

Take extra care with communications with partners – an issue you thought was resolved may resurface for re-consideration and re-examination.  Think carefully before you speak or make demands on people close to you.

Scorpio

Your work or daily routine may feel a little confused or unstable for these few weeks.  Stay flexible.  You may also find yourself rethinking or reconsidering your job – or your health habits.  And this is a great time for research for you!

Sagittarius

Someone from the past may make a return appearance!  And it may cause you to re-think what you do for pleasure.   Don’t make any wild and crazy, harebrained decisions right now.  Think things through carefully!

Capricorn

Misunderstandings around home can be lessened by communicating very clearly and specifically.  Family members could be confused or confusing to you – or you to them!  Tread softly – and avoid signing documents relating to your home or real estate if you can.

Aquarius

Your mind could be working overtime.  And dealings with neighbors, friends or siblings may snarl.  Speak carefully.  Make sure you’re saying what you really mean to be saying.  And make sure your vehicle maintenance and computer backup is up to date!

Pisces

Payments may be delayed, but you may also re-consider a possible new source of income! Think before spending and/or making any new financial decisions.  Things will unsnarl surprisingly and remarkably in just a few weeks.

SkyeWatch Astrology for Week of March 20th ~ More on Super Full Moon… and Equinox Forecast for Each Sign…

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

So… we’ve got the wind at our backs, we’re holding onto our hats, here’s the week ahead beginning Sunday, March 20th, 2011…

.     .     .     .     .


Well… I’d have to say that this looks like another week of big power for us…

 

Last week, we took a look at the Super Full Moon in Virgo that occurred on Saturday, March 19th, and we’re certainly still in the energy it – and we’re also moving toward the Spring Equinox this week when the Sun moves into fiery Aries – and also immediately conjuncts our unpredictable friend Uranus at 0 point Aries.

 

And not only will the Sun be igniting Uranus at 0 point Aries, he’ll be moving toward locking horns with forceful Pluto at the end of the month, so I’d say I’d say we should be expecting more sudden changes, and probably right out of the blue. The life-giving Sun connecting with the planet of change and revolutionary Uranus at the Spring Equinox hasn’t happened in over 300 years.  So to say that this is a revolutionary time is kind of an understatement. Life will be shifting.  On the plus side though, look for revolutionary breakthroughs in computer technology – and medical breakthroughs dealing with anything related to the head over these next eight years.

 

Not to be outdone, our Super Full Moon – and a super moon occurs when the Moon is closest to the earth and is also said to have a greater effect than usual – hasn’t been this close to the Earth in over eighteen years.  And this, of course, is expected to intensify everything full moons are known for…

 

Now, looking forward just a bit, the end of March will NOT be a good time to begin new projects or to make big moves forward if we can help it.  Not only will fleet-footed Mercury be standing still just before he moves into apparent retrograde motion on March 30th, but he’ll be doing this essentially at the same time as the enormous Jupiter/Saturn opposition that will be occurring then.  These two giants will be acting out a tug of war from opposite sides of the planet.  This is their third time to face off since last year – and this only occurs every 20 years or so.  And, if that’s not enough heat for us, the Sun will also be squaring off with extreme and intense Pluto on the 28th as well.  I’ll be talking a lot more about these powerful aspects in the coming couple of weeks…

 

So, if we have our ducks sufficiently lined up, these couple of weeks would be THE time to make the move and not procrastinate – otherwise we’ll be better served to wait till after April 23rd when Mercury turns direct…and actually, we’ll probably want to wait a week or so AFTER April 23rd to give speedy Mercury some time to get some legs under him and start moving forward again…

 

.     .     .     .     .


But for now, let’s take a look at the week ahead…

 

Sunday, March 20th, is when the life-giving Sun enters fast and fiery Aries for the next month.  Happy Vernal Equinox – and Happy Birthday and Happy Solar Return to all the Aries of the world!  This is the time of the year when we’ll feel strong and fearless.  This is when we come out of hibernation and want to jump on our Harleys and let the wind blow through our hair!  We’ll be feeling confident and determined to make that new beginning – what we need to watch for, given the other dynamic energy all around us – is to make sure this energy doesn’t surface as aggression, anger, or total self-centeredness…

 

Especially given that the Sun will also be making his conjunction with destabilizing Uranus on Monday – and moving into that square with Pluto later in the month.  We’ll want to go for our dreams – but be a little mindful as we do it – so there’s nothing waiting to bite back later on!

 

We should breathe the fresh air of new beginnings, but tread as softly as we can in making changes.  Any babies we throw out with the bathwater won’t be coming back anytime soon – so we should be mindful if we close doors too forcefully.  And we need to be absolutely sure it’s what we want to do.  Though it may be absolutely appropriate – but it’s the manner of closing that door that could lead to a severe confrontation.  No need for that one at all…

 

So, then, on Monday, March 21st, when the Sun makes his conjunction with Uranus, we should be ready for surprises, shocks and shifts of consciousness.  Totally out of the blue.

 

And we probably won’t be able to keep ourselves from feeling spontaneous – and being completely and surprisingly open to new experiences, new people, and new situations.  And if we’ve been wanting to break free from some old dusty habit or make big sweeping changes in our lifestyles – this could be the day we’ve been waiting for.  Creativity may practically burst into our lives as well… we should be ready to record any flashes of inspiration!

 

And then finally on Saturday, March 26th, delicious Venus will dance with dreamy Neptune.  This is an enormously creative energy.  And it could also bring us inspiring romance – or deception at its finest.

 

Our hearts can open – and it’s also a magical time for manifesting our desires — though it’s also essential that we remove any rose-colored glasses and take a good clear seeing look at any major situations arise in our lives.  Especially if major changes seem necessary, we might want to step back and wait it out for a bit before jumping in with both feet!

 

.     .     .     .     .


And… this week, I want to talk about just how each sign will experience the Uranian charged Spring Equinox, and a little bit of what to expect over the next few months… and as always, this will apply to your Sun sign and Ascendant/Rising sign if you know it…

Aries

Get ready for incredible, enormous change in your life.  Starting right now.  Expect your life, your relationships—and even who you are today – to change in radical ways.  Prepare for excitement – and maybe some shock waves.  Open the door to your new life knocking at the door!

Taurus

Revelations and dreams will be flashing through your life.  Expanded, keen intuition will be speaking to you in many surprising ways. Doors will be opening in unexpected ways, too, that will be leading you in an entirely new direction over the next few months and years.

Gemini

Your hope and wishes are going to get exciting and new.  And friends can be a catalyst to exhilarating new beginnings.  Your world can rock and seem unstable though, so be ready for that!

Cancer

Your career and professional world are about to rumble.  Things may feel disruptive, but new doors will be opening in surprising ways.  A new path will be unfolding before you now.

Leo

Exciting, life changing, mind-expanding experiences are on your agenda.  Expansive awakening may shake your world – but will also bring you new sudden power.  Don’t be afraid to think big!  And you might consider dusting off your passport, too!

Virgo

Mystical experiences can light up your life.  Old emotional dramas involving others around you will see the light of day – and you could also see a surprising shake up in shared resources.  Be ready.

Libra

Look for relationships and partnerships to undergo radical change, evolve or abruptly dissolve.  New people could enter your life just as swiftly as your horizons expand.

Scorpio

Don’t expect your daily routine to be so routine anymore.  Look for surprising changes in your work, and even among co-workers.  Expect the unexpected.  You may also find yourself finally deciding to follow a secret dream of yours.

Sagittarius

Your creativity and/or romance are in for a big shake up.  Look for excitement and change to burst onto the scene.  Children could present you with a shock or two as well.  Pleasure in your life is about to get very interesting!

Capricorn

Home and family life could get exciting – in fact changes could rock your world.  Be ready for sudden or surprising shifts in or around your home that will be preparing you for an expanded life!

Aquarius

Your mind and thoughts will be nearly electrified.  Bolts from the blue will  be sending you off in new directions.  Communication of all kinds will bring exciting, unusual news for you to use.

Pisces

New out-of-the-ordinary ways of earning money will come out of nowhere.  Be ready to grab them.  Your income and finances will be changing – don’t be afraid to take a risk.  Reach for the stars!

 

 

 

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

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

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

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

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


.     .     .    .     .

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

…and here we go!

.     .     .     .     .


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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

.     .     .     .     .


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

Aries

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

Taurus

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

Gemini

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

Cancer

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

Leo

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

Virgo

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

Libra

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

Scorpio

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

Sagittarius

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

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


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


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

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


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


.     .     .     .     .


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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

.     .     .     .     .


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


Aries

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

Taurus

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

Gemini

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

Cancer

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

Leo

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

Virgo

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

Libra

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

Scorpio

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

Sagittarius

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

Capricorn

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

Aquarius

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

Pisces

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