Leave a reply

The Year of the Dragon begins with the New Moon on February 9, 2024 at 2:58 p.m. PST.  These links cover different perspectives — symbolism, cultural relevance and predictions — for the Dragon, considered the grandest and most charismatic of the all the Chinese signs. Most are about 10 minutes long; the few longer, in-depth presentations are marked as such.

Here’s the Most Important Thing You Need to Know for 2024, Year of the Wood Dragon & Year of Action Elizabeth Pyjov speaks to the inner opportunities and optimal point of view for the year: “I am going to enjoy this life no matter what it throws at me. ..Let everyone else be as they are…Learn to look at life with approval and interest and warmth.”

AnandaShree Astrology speaks on the February Fiery New Moon Year of the Dragon, integrated with ideas from Vedic Astrology. The Dragon is a mythical animal which is vast, powerful and brings huge transformations. The New Moon is in the Dhanishta Nakshatra, connected to wealth and “the star of symphony.” On this New Moon she recommends to “take a vow to speak only what is necessary.”

U.K. astrologer Patrick Arundell describes the dragon symbolism in China and considers 1964, the last Wood Dragon year — the Civil Rights Act was passed and Martin Luther King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He also briefly looks at the horoscope for China in his video.

Pantheon Mythology hosts a 20 minute video: Who are the Dragons of Chinese Mythology?
“These mythical creatures are revered in Chinese mythology as symbols of power, strength, and good fortune. Unlike their Western counterparts, often portrayed as vicious and violent, Chinese dragons are seen as benevolent and protective creatures that bring rain and control floods, crucial aspects of agriculture in ancient China.”

Astrologer and historian Christopher Renstrom at The Astrology Hub presents an hour on Exploring the Chinese Lunar New Year and the Year of the Wood Dragon. He provides a “deep examination of the symbolism and cultural beliefs surrounding the Chinese Lunar New Year and its correlation with Chinese Astrology. He emphasizes the fundamental difference between Western and Chinese astrology, and also delves into the significance of the animals and elements in Chinese astrology, especially with regards to the Year of the Wood Dragon.” He also tells a story from the Han Dynasty, “which ties back to the central theme of wisdom and enlightenment. This year is one that encourages seeking wisdom and understanding beyond immediate fulfilment or gratification.”

Dark of the Moon: Week of September 4th

Leave a reply

VENUS turned Direct in Leo this week, just as JUPITER turns backwards in the other direction. Both are stationing over our heads for the next 10 days or so. September is a bundle of retrogrades and cross currents. If you look below, almost every single planet is going backwards, with the exception of MARS, however this fiery planet is miserable in the sign of Libra (in his detriment).

The vibe this month is introspection – turning our focus inwards and checking in with our instincts. Retrograde planets have us rethinking everything, traveling over old ground, revisiting old choices and decisions, perhaps worrying, feeling helpless, and unable to get over things we need to release.

CURRENTLY:

Sun at 14 Virgo
Mercury RETROGRADE at 13 Virgo
Venus DIRECT at 12 Leo
Mars at 6 Libra (weak – in detriment)
Jupiter RETROGRADE at 15 Taurus
Saturn RETROGRADE at 3 Pisces
Uranus RETROGRADE at 23 Taurus
Neptune RETROGRADE 26 Pisces (rulership)
Pluto RETROGRADE at 28 Capricorn
North Node at 26 Aries

Mars at 1 Libra (weak – in detriment)
Jupiter at 15 Taurus

Full Moon at 7 Pisces on Wednesday, August 30th at 6:36pm Pacific. This Full Moon is conjunct retrograde Saturn, so there is a sense of heaviness and responsibility to issues that are coming up now… and with seven planets in retrograde we are walking back through territory we have already passed through. The past is coming up and giving us a new understanding of our evolution.

Moon in Pisces is great for movies and entertainment. Allow time to reflect on your life. If you’d like to know how this Full Moon personally affects you, book a reading with me here: https://elizabethrosepsychicandtarot.as.me/?appointmentType=1307112

Moon in Virgo

Friday, June 23rd: Virgo Moon all weekend. ORGANIZE yourself!

This weekend is ideal for organizing, working on projects, and running errands around town. We are moving towards a Mercury square to Neptune on Sunday, which can bring either deception, or creativity.

Mercury and Neptune are opposites, Mercury being analytical and scientific, while Neptune governs the space between worlds, dreams or other spiritual dimensions. Try to blend the two with art, music, creativity and writing. Also meditation, inner reflection and the inner search for truth and meaning in our lives.
Also, we are coming up to the first-quarter moon on Tuesday. It’s a time when something demands our attention or we get better clarity about what this lunar month is about.

If you’d like an astrology reading send me a message here! I charge $250 for a thorough interpretation.

Full Moon ECLIPSE in Scorpio

Friday, 10:34am: Full Moon Eclipse at 15 Scorpio.
Avoid social complications and risky situations.
Reality is bending, and we are being transformed.
Pluto has released a surge of life-transforming energy from the primordial depths.
It is also True Beltane today.

The key word is BALANCE. This Full Moon puts the focus on our relationships – business and personal. Clear the air, forge new agreements, speak the truth, and put energy into the neglected areas of your life. If something has been standing in your way, now is the time to deal with it. Get it done.

This one is an invitation — to follow the Messenger’s mythic, magical journey to reclaim the genius of your body mind and retrieve the brilliance of that fire that lights up the web through which the Cosmos enters you — the one we call the nervous system, linking you to the cosmos-neurological web of the Universe itself. This one is a daring, high-stakes mission — to rewild your mind and bring your life fully alive, just as spring does to the world.

In the ancient world, where Mercury was called Hermes, he was the god of finding and meeting, the guide of souls, and the trickster (the mythic figure who crosses time, space, and cultures).

April 6th, 2023: Full Moon at 16º Libra, opposing Chiron at 15º Aries
Also, Mercury conjunct North Node at 4º Taurus

The key word is BALANCE. This Full Moon puts the focus on our relationships – business and personal. Clear the air, forge new agreements, speak the truth, and put energy into the neglected areas of your life. If something has been standing in your way, now is the time to deal with it. Get it done.

With Chiron (the Healer) in the mix, our relationship traumas could come up. Face them and heal them – especially issues around codependency, trauma bonding and attachment wounds. Awareness, communication and healing are within reach! If we’ve been isolating, the Libra energy fosters reconnection with people.

Chiron shows us where to find the medicine to heal ourselves, and since it’s conjunct the Sun at 16º Aries (which is exalted), it’s about self-acceptance, motivation, and confidence. Refocus on your personal journey, and what you want to accomplish here on Earth.

On the same day Mercury conjuncts the North Node at 4º Taurus. This is the mind joining with destiny. There is insight into our future path or direction, however Taurus wants us to be grounded and in reality about it. How do we manifest our dreams? How do we make things happen in the real world? Taurus reminds us to connect with the physical world and use our five senses; what we see, feel, hear, smell, taste, and touch in front of us.

Full Moon in Virgo/ Saturn into Pisces

Leave a reply

March 7, 2023: Full Moon at 16 Virgo. The sign of the Virgin, which represents “being whole”, pure, and uncorrupted. It unifies our health and our work, and inspires us to live in integrity. Beware of the obsession with perfection and overthinking.

If you feel overwhelmed by this full moon, go over to the Pisces Sun on the other side of the sky for guidance. Reconnect with your spirituality, faith, and the god of your heart. Reassure yourself that you are exactly where you need to be right now, and cleanse yourself and your home.

Also today, Saturn enters Pisces. This marks a huge change in the undercurrent of our lives and society. Saturn is authority, ambition and power, and represents the institutions in our world, as well as the structures of our lives. Pisces dissolves what it touches, and erodes the stability of Saturn, so Saturn isn’t too happy in Pisces.

The best way to handle this transit is to be aware of the qualities of “sacrifice” and “surrender”. Use them to navigate the realities in your life. Surrender to discipline, to your basic needs, to the reality of who you are and what you want to accomplish. This will be a great few years to focus on bettering yourself, and supporting the growth of people around you.

Venus, Jupiter, Chiron conjunct in Pisces

March 1st, 2023 Venus conjunct Jupiter at 17 Pisces (Tropically at 12 Aries)

Venus and Jupiter are two of the most positive planets in astrology, and they both shine brightest in the sign of Pisces! Their true natures are easily expressed here, so this conjunction is particularly significant. Pisces is the Great Mystery; the sign of hope, and connection with the divine.

Venus is the planet of attraction, love, art, romance, friendship and parties. Venus is exalted in the sign of Pisces, so she is completely at home in the gentle sweetness of this sign. Jupiter rules Pisces, and the planet’s flowing abundance, riches and luck appear naturally here. Venus and Jupiter coming together is one of the most auspicious planetary aspects! It highlights how we have wisened up, realized new truths about ourselves, and opened to love. This is a time to trust your instincts, follow your wisdom, and stand in the truth. A miracle could happen.

As Venus and Jupiter meet, they will be two degrees away from the great healer, Chiron, which symbolizes deep healing and a new receptiveness to love, abundance, creativity and feelings. We might feel our wounds deeply and want to run away, but the key is to move towards them. Embrace your wounds, feel the pain, and say to yourself “I’m willing to heal this.” The conjunction with Venus will bring up our wounds around love, particularly our self worth. The conjunction with Jupiter could bring up wounds around wealth, abundance and self esteem.

I’m curious if the conjunction can be seen in the evening sky as one huge star on March 1st and 2nd. Go take a look outside and bask in the loving emanation. Breakthroughs and miracles can occur, so notice the Magick happening around you.

“Old wounds around love, and being worthy of it. Abundance, and deserving it. Creativity and having it, Autonomy and claiming it.”
