MAJOR<\/span> ALIGNMENTS<\/span> and PHENOMENA<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I will make note of and com\u00adment upon the remain\u00ading major astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal move\u00adments and align\u00adments for this year, sav\u00ading more exten\u00adsive analy\u00adsis for when they actu\u00adal\u00adly take place. I will then take a more exten\u00adsive look into the align\u00adments that are occur\u00adring in the charts of the Unit\u00aded States and for Pres\u00adi\u00addent Oba\u00adma, and per\u00adhaps one or two oth\u00ader charts, again sav\u00ading more exten\u00adsive com\u00admen\u00adtary for lat\u00ader this year.<\/p>\n

Mars Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade (Jan\u00adu\u00adary 23 till April 13\u201314)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where\u00adas Mer\u00adcury moves ret\u00adro\u00adgrade 3 times a year for about 23 days each time, and Venus ret\u00adro\u00adgrades about every 1.5 years for about 40 days, Mars will move ret\u00adro\u00adgrade about every 2 years and 2 months for about 80 days or so\u2026it is the plan\u00adet that goes ret\u00adro\u00adgrade the least so you should take advan\u00adtage of this opportunity.\u2026what opportunity?<\/p>\n

Mars rules your actions and desires, it serves your \u201cself\u201d (the Sun) by pro\u00advid\u00ading the dri\u00adve to secure your needs and wants. But when it turns ret\u00adro\u00adgrade it sig\u00adnals a time for you to turn inward, and offers you the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty (neces\u00adsi\u00adty) to re-exam\u00adine what is \u201cdesire\u201d (or what are your desires), and, just as impor\u00adtant\u00adly, re-con\u00adsid\u00ader how you should obtain them. This time Mars is ret\u00adro\u00adgrad\u00ading through Vir\u00adgo, so the review of your desires and aims will be upon your need for greater clar\u00adi\u00adty, order and peace of mind\u2026<\/p>\n

Nep\u00adtune Enters Pisces (Feb\u00adru\u00adary 3, 2012 till 2025\u201326)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nep\u00adtune, which has been paus\u00ading at the thresh\u00adold of her home sign dur\u00ading 2011, moves in to stay for over 13 years. My com\u00adments when it first began to make this tran\u00adsi\u00adtion, (April 4, 2011) are well worth re-post\u00ading here:<\/p>\n

Just as with Jupiter and Uranus last year, Nep\u00adtune dances back and forth between one sign and the next this year. It has been in Aquar\u00adius since 1998 and it will stay in Pisces start\u00ading next Feb\u00adru\u00adary 2012 until March 2025. This is a com\u00ading home event, since Nep\u00adtune is said to rule Pisces. <\/em><\/p>\n

The last time Nep\u00adtune was here was 1848 to 1862 and the pur\u00adsuit of dreams (and fan\u00adtasies) grew apace. In the US<\/span>, the west\u00adward expan\u00adsion was accel\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded as the vision of gold sparkled in the eyes of \u201cforty-nin\u00aders\u201d. In the spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal world, on the heels of the \u201cSec\u00adond Great Awak\u00aden\u00ading\u201d, a grow\u00ading reli\u00adgious fer\u00advor spurred the calls for jus\u00adtice as abo\u00adli\u00adtion\u00adists strug\u00adgled to make our coun\u00adtry con\u00adfront the great evil and shame of slavery. <\/em><\/p>\n

For the next 13 years, a path\u00adway has been offered for a renew\u00adal of under\u00adstand\u00ading, com\u00adpas\u00adsion and sac\u00adri\u00adfice. We are mov\u00ading into a peri\u00adod of spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal revival and growth. Dreams, romance and the imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion will take flight. <\/em><\/p>\n

Be pre\u00adpared to wonder\u2026be ready to embrace\u2026 and be able to sur\u00adren\u00adder, so that the gifts of Spir\u00adit may enter our hearts and so remind us that we are one. \u201cE Pluribus Unum\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Sat\u00adurn Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade (Feb\u00adru\u00adary 7 till June 25) <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sat\u00adurn ret\u00adro\u00adgrades every year and pro\u00advides you with an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to re-exam\u00adine your social roles, hier\u00adar\u00adchies and respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties. This is its last ret\u00adro\u00adgrade in Libra before mov\u00ading into Scor\u00adpio in Octo\u00adber, so this will be your chance to once again look at the nature of your rela\u00adtion\u00adship agree\u00adments or con\u00adtracts, whether implied or writ\u00adten. When Sat\u00adurn moves on into Scor\u00adpio you will want to have made sure that you have done your best to pre\u00adpare for mat\u00adters to get even more serious.<\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade (March 11\u201312 to April 4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrades through the sign of Aries and back into Pisces. You need to go with\u00adin and recon\u00adsid\u00ader your atti\u00adtudes and be mind\u00adful to think before speak\u00ading! Lat\u00ader, when Her\u00admes moves back into Pisces, you will need to con\u00adfront your fears and restore your faith by re-con\u00adnect\u00ading to the pow\u00ader of your imagination.<\/p>\n

Venus Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade (May 15 to June 27)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venus ret\u00adro\u00adgrades in the sign of Gem\u00adi\u00adni. Take this oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to go with\u00adin and con\u00adsid\u00ader the nuanced com\u00adplex\u00adi\u00adty in your hier\u00adar\u00adchy of val\u00adues. Venus in Gem\u00adi\u00adni illus\u00adtrates the mul\u00adti\u00adfac\u00adeted nature of your aes\u00adthet\u00adic and social val\u00adues, but some\u00adtimes those flash\u00ading facets can become a lit\u00adtle dis\u00adcon\u00adcert\u00ading and\/or con\u00adfus\u00ading. The ret\u00adro\u00adgrade will offer a peri\u00adod of re-exam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion so that you can more clear\u00adly assess those dif\u00adfer\u00ading and diverse approach\u00ades and so help you to sort the wheat from your chaff.<\/p>\n

Solar Eclipse in Gem\u00adi\u00adni (May 20)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New Moon Solar Eclipse is in Gem\u00adi\u00adni which means that before you can move ahead with this next release or gift of ener\u00adgy you will first have to turn around so as to cor\u00adrect some\u00adthing in your think\u00ading. Gem\u00adi\u00adni rules the low\u00ader mind\u2019s most impor\u00adtant gift, the agile-adapt\u00adable-ques\u00adtion\u00ading voice bet\u00adter known as your intel\u00adli\u00adgence. The Moon\u2019s shad\u00adow reminds you that some old assump\u00adtions may be block\u00ading you so that your cat\u00ade\u00adgories, labels and what\u00adnot are cast\u00ading a shad\u00adow upon what you per\u00adceive. It is time to think \u201cout\u00adside of the box\u201d!<\/em><\/p>\n

Lunar Eclipse in Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius (June 4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Full Moon Eclipse falls in Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius and is the \u201canswer\u201d to the Solar Eclipse on May 20. Where\u00adas the Solar Eclipse reminds you that your past may obscure or hin\u00adder the unfold\u00adment of a new release of ener\u00adgy, the Lunar Eclipse sym\u00adbol\u00adizes the impor\u00adtance of how your cur\u00adrent belief sys\u00adtem, your \u201ctruth\u201d, may be blind\u00ading you to a greater Truth. This Eclipse is also World Invo\u00adca\u00adtion Day so many, many peo\u00adple will be call\u00ading upon uni\u00adver\u00adsal ener\u00adgies for guid\u00adance and sup\u00adport. Join in this spir\u00adit of com\u00adbined aware\u00adness so as to rise to a high\u00ader under\u00adstand\u00ading in your life.<\/p>\n

Jupiter Enters Gem\u00adi\u00adni (June 11) <\/strong><\/p>\n

The biggest plan\u00adet \u201chops over the prover\u00adbial can\u00addle\u00adstick\u201d (again and again), as it moves through the sign of nim\u00adble\u00adness, intel\u00adli\u00adgence and com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion. The over\u00adall ener\u00adgy lev\u00adel (thoughts, com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtions and actions) will expand great\u00adly, but you will need to work on try\u00ading to main\u00adtain direc\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty and focus. Advances will be made in all forms of net\u00adwork\u00ading, and indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals and groups will have access to more and more infor\u00adma\u00adtion. The ques\u00adtion will be: \u201cDo we real\u00adly have more under\u00adstand\u00ading or are we mere\u00adly becom\u00ading more distracted\u201d?<\/p>\n

Jupiter Square Nep\u00adtune (June 24\u201325)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jupiter in Gem\u00adi\u00adni meets up with Nep\u00adtune in Pisces; you need to see how to bet\u00adter bend your grand ideas to the whis\u00adpers of your imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion, dreams and spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal nature. Growth is good, but you need to expand rea\u00adson\u00adably (and hon\u00adest\u00adly). Be care\u00adful of deals or promis\u00ades that sound too good to be true\u2026they usu\u00adal\u00adly are!<\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade (July 14 to August 7\u20138)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury ret\u00adro\u00adgrades through the sign of Leo. Before you can make a splash with your next \u201cbig idea\u201d, you need to go back and review your approach. You need respect, but you have to earn it by lead\u00ading by exam\u00adple and help\u00ading oth\u00aders to believe in them\u00adselves too.<\/p>\n

Sat\u00adurn Enters Scor\u00adpio (Octo\u00adber 5)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lessons learned about rela\u00adtion\u00adship needs, prin\u00adci\u00adples and agree\u00adments (Sat\u00adurn in Libra) moves onto the heart of the mat\u00adter, lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly. The test now is to go beyond your for\u00admal agree\u00adments and forge deep\u00ader and ulti\u00admate\u00adly trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion\u00adal unions. The way for\u00adward is through joint ven\u00adtures, but that means real sac\u00adri\u00adfices of the less\u00ader so as to hon\u00ador the greater good for one and all.<\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade (Novem\u00adber 6 to Novem\u00adber 26)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Uh oh\u2026remember the Pres\u00adi\u00adden\u00adtial Elec\u00adtion in 2000, (Flori\u00adda and those hang\u00ading chads, a Supreme deci\u00adsion)? Well, here we are again with Mer\u00adcury shift\u00ading directions\u2026and this time Her\u00admes is going ret\u00adro\u00adgrade right on Elec\u00adtion Day!<\/p>\n

Mer\u00adcury will start mov\u00ading back\u00adwards in Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius and on into Scor\u00adpio. The re-exam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion of your beliefs will ulti\u00admate\u00adly lead to fac\u00ading what unites and divides you from one another.<\/p>\n

Solar Eclipse in Scor\u00adpio (Novem\u00adber 13)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right in the mid\u00addle of Mer\u00adcury\u2019s ret\u00adro\u00adgrade we expe\u00adri\u00adence the sec\u00adond New Moon Eclipse of the year. The theme for the Solar\/Lunar eclipses is shift\u00ading now, away from the realm of thoughts and ideas (Gemini\/Sagittarius) and onto the thorny ques\u00adtions of Val\u00adue (Taurus\/Scorpio). The release of some new under\u00adstand\u00ading about the nature of your unions is being obscured by shad\u00adows from the past\u2026time to con\u00adfront those fears of rejec\u00adtion and loss and take the high\u00ader path of show\u00ading your strength by cre\u00adat\u00ading a bet\u00adter space for mutu\u00adal sacrifice.<\/p>\n

Lunar Eclipse in Gem\u00adi\u00adni (Novem\u00adber 28)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gem\u00adi\u00adni inter\u00adrupts the rev\u00ade\u00adla\u00adtion you were hop\u00ading for. You were seek\u00ading to bend and stretch your intel\u00adli\u00adgence so as to hold two (or more) approach\u00ades to the issue you con\u00adfront. Again, it is your men\u00adtal \u201cblind spot\u201d, your unques\u00adtioned pat\u00adterns and assump\u00adtions that need to be seen as stand\u00ading in your way. Real intel\u00adli\u00adgence is not exer\u00adcised in hav\u00ading the \u201ccor\u00adrect\u201d answer by accept\u00ading the con\u00adven\u00adtion\u00adal par\u00ada\u00addigm; it is much more impor\u00adtant to be able to shift your assump\u00adtions so that you can ques\u00adtion the ques\u00adtion itself!<\/p>\n
