The Sun rep­re­sents the total poten­tial of your being in this life, your life poten­tial. Nep­tune rules dreams, visions and imag­i­na­tion; it is your capac­i­ty for illu­mi­na­tion. The align­ment of the Sun and Nep­tune reminds you that it is always pos­si­ble to imag­ine what you wish to be, to dream or re-dream your life… and then make it so.

Nep­tune rules your per­cep­tion of your­self and the world around you. You have a vision of what you are and what you face. But it is lim­it­ed by your assump­tions and con­scious­ness of what is real for you. Your real­i­ty, your uni­verse, is always cir­cum­scribed by what you per­ceive. You may share many of these per­cep­tions with oth­ers and your real­i­ty over­laps with theirs.

The align­ment of the Sun (Self) with Nep­tune (Illu­mi­na­tion) allows you to per­ceive the truth that there are mul­ti­ple real­i­ties in and around you. You actu­al­ly live in one uni­verse with­in a “mul­ti­verse”. You have the oppor­tu­ni­ty now to let go of a less­er, more lim­it­ed sense of your­self, at least for a moment or two, and dis­cov­er a more com­plete you with­in a more inte­grat­ed real­i­ty. Now you have an oppor­tu­ni­ty to dis­solve, let go, dream great dreams, and move into a new space of self-realization.

This should be famil­iar to you; you do this all the time… when you are sleep­ing. Now, bring that won­drous expe­ri­ence into this wak­ing world so that your dreams can become sub­stan­ti­at­ed. It is con­fus­ing at first, but that is the path to a more com­plete understanding

Remem­ber, the path of spir­i­tu­al illu­mi­na­tion leads from Cer­tain­ty to the dawn­ing of Doubt to a time of Con­fu­sion so that you may final­ly come to Dis­il­lu­sion­ment. It is then, when you have dropped your for­mer assump­tions and cer­tain­ty, that Spir­it will enter in and bring to you Illumination.

If you are cer­tain then you are not pay­ing atten­tion; if you are ques­tion­ing then you are prepar­ing the way; and when you are Faith-Full then you are ful­ly present and know that you can cre­ate what­ev­er you imagine.…and so you shall.

Dream on!

Your mind is steady; your thoughts are ground­ed. Solu­tions to prob­lems that have elud­ed you are avail­able now. You will make a good impres­sion with those that count. Fresh insight com­bined with an author­i­ta­tive foun­da­tion leads to success.

With Mer­cury in Aquar­ius your mind is recep­tive to social ideals, visions of the future and inge­nu­ity; while Sat­urn in Libra pro­vides poise, sta­mi­na and social sen­si­bil­i­ty. Their com­bi­na­tion means you can­not but impress oth­ers… and yourself.

When the stars align, your ideals become the real­i­ty you have always dreamed for. Dream, think…create.     

Div­ing deeply into val­ues is called for today. Supe­ri­or insight about the true nature of love is avail­able to you when you move beyond appear­ances and dis­cov­er what is most heart­felt in rela­tion­ship. With Venus rul­ing val­ues, and Plu­to rul­ing the will-pow­er, this align­ment is all about love and control.

When you val­ue your­self, when you tru­ly love your­self, then and only then do you have the capac­i­ty for self-con­trol. And it is that cen­ter­ing of will that makes it pos­si­ble for you to give your­self will­ing­ly to anoth­er. You can take that step into the space of vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty, the space that is the meet­ing ground of two hearts, because you have found the love with­in and the will to make a choice.

But the greater mys­tery here is that is only through rela­tion­ship, only when you come togeth­er with anoth­er, can you pen­e­trate beyond the illu­sion­ary self and dis­cov­er your truer self. Because in order to come togeth­er, when we meet one anoth­er in that cru­cible that is rela­tion­ship, we each must sac­ri­fice and sur­ren­der the less­er val­ues between us. We affirm to one anoth­er what we tru­ly share; we re-dis­cov­er and strength­en our greater val­ues which form the true song and sub­stance of our love.

The mys­tery of Venus and Plu­to is that by join­ing with anoth­er more deeply, you end up com­ing clos­er to your own true self. You sur­ren­der your less­er self so that you may meet your high­er self, who is revealed to you by the smile in your lover’s eyes.

So, today, go deep and give your­self to love and find your­self and your love in one another.

Anoth­er very busy day.…Sun and Mars both trine Sat­urn, while Venus Squares Jupiter.

The Sun aligned with Sat­urn denotes an oppor­tu­ni­ty where we find our poten­tial (Sun) and our real­i­ty (Sat­urn) to be in per­fect sync. You shine when you ful­fill your respon­si­bil­i­ties with such capa­bil­i­ty and style! You are com­fort­able in your own author­i­ty. You faced a choice about inner ful­fill­ment and out­er respon­si­bil­i­ty in ear­ly Jan­u­ary; now every­thing has fall­en into place and you know where you stand and what you should do.

Mars trine Sat­urn indi­cates strong, steady progress is being made now. At the end of Decem­ber there was a big chal­lenge as you faced how to go for­ward as you encoun­tered out­ward blocks or inner doubts. Now, the stars are aligned and you move for­ward steadi­ly with enthu­si­asm, pur­pose, dri­ve and deter­mi­na­tion. You have the ener­gy and expe­ri­ence to get the job done. Suc­cess is at hand.

Lat­er in the day, Venus aligns with Jupiter and warns you to be care­ful. You may indulge your­self or give too much of your­self; Remem­ber too much is Too Much! Mod­er­a­tion is beau­ti­ful; less is real­ly more becoming.

Social­ly, Venus in Capri­corn says you must fol­low the prop­er rules, stan­dards and forms with one anoth­er and so main­tain tra­di­tion (and secu­ri­ty); while Jupiter in Aries says it’s a New Day and you must be free to be your­self!  Respon­si­bil­i­ty or Free­dom?  Why, both of course! Respon­si­bil­i­ty is renewed when we dis­cov­er one anoth­er in new forms; Free­dom is pre­served when we hon­or what has always been true.

Thoughts and beliefs come togeth­er per­fect­ly now. Some­times you get mired in the details, and some­times your head is in the clouds; but now you find your­self in per­fect bal­ance. You get the big pic­ture AND you under­stand all the steps it will take to make it hap­pen too.

You faced a challenge/choice around Jan­u­ary 11, but now you can see your plans and actions com­ing togeth­er. Your ideas have moved beyond the plan­ning stage. Think­ing and com­mu­ni­ca­tion pro­ceed effort­less­ly and ele­gant­ly. You are bril­liant and it feels good.

We’re all con­nect­ing now… Expect good news; then pass it on.
