New Moon

The New Moon is coming!  One thing that I have always noticed that happens during a New Moon is that everybody is cleaning.  

There was a time that I lived in a house with 3 other room-mates and we would wake up and start cleaning our bedrooms and doing all sorts of nitty-gritty chores. It was not planned. We didn't speak about this at all.  I was actually surprised to come out of my room after cleaning it for hours and find that the others had been doing the same. 

Only later I would see that it was a new moon.  This was back when I didn't pay too much attention to the moon so it took me a long time to notice this trend.  

Now it is so obvious.  So many times when I talk to someone on the phone around the new moon, they tell me that they have been cleaing all day or rearranging their furniture, or are "finally" getting organized.
I was just sitting in my kitchen before writing this thinking, "I really should mop the floor....and it would be nice to clean out the clutter in that hallway closet..."  Then I remembered, "Of course, the new moon is coming! No wonder I'm starting to get these ideas "out of nowhere", it's the New Moon!"

So even if I don't get around to it today or tomorrow, I'm sure it will manifest by the 2nd and 3rd day of February, and I will not be surprised when I hear of others also making their house like new.  

After all, the Moon does rule the home. It will be interesting to see what the Aquarius new moon will bring into the home as it is a sign of originality and inventions.

The Unmistakable Birthday Power!

Welcome Aquarius Sun!  

I had the pleasure of celebrating the start of the Sun of Aquarius on the night of January 21st by attending a double birthday party of 2 of my brother in laws.  One of them was born on the 21st and the other, on the 22nd and they were turning the same age.  

There was eight of us all together for this birthday get-together, so we decided to play a card game.  The game was called, "Signal". After a couple of fun rounds we changed partners and the 2 birthday boys became partners.
They won.  And then they won again. I them told them in a sarcastic kind of way, "Oh, you're just running off of that birthday luck!"

But then they won again!  And we all joked saying, "We are just letting you guys win because it is your birthdays!"  Actually this was not true.  It's not the kind of game that you could just 'let' others win.
When they won a fourth time in a row, this was becoming amazing.

One of the birthday boys, the one who's birthday is on the 22nd said, "It is almost midnight, and at that time, the power of our birthdays will be combined, and we will defeat you all!"
It was quite dramatic and amusing indeed, but the atmosphere was not serious at all as we just kept on laughing.

Then the birthday boys went in secret to come up with a new signal.
When they came back, the cards were dealt and after only a couple of minutes the dog, that went outside, barks, and the first birthday boy calls out, "Signal!" and the cards of the other birthday boy are thrown down and he has it! 

We are all shocked!  We ask, "How did you guys do it?!" And they say that because of the Power of their Birthdays combined, they just both "knew" that when the dog would bark then that would mean one of them would have the right cards.

Unbelievable!  They put trust into a random event to mark the perfect time! All with having absolute faith of having "The Birthday Power" on their sides!


By the way, these guys are in no way clairvoyant or into any type of psychic stuff as far as I know, so this was just pure miracle!

Full Moon in Cancer!

The Full Moon is in Cancer tonight.  

Well first of all the Sun has been in Capricorn for the past 28 days.  Capricorn is all about responsibilities and reaching the top of the ladder no matter what activity or business you are into, it's got to be top notch. 

It has been very acceptable and highly suggested to be a workaholic these past 4 weeks.

Even the pan handlers on the street are meaning business, and people on vacations are seriously relaxing in ways that makes it seem like hard work, striving to reach the peek of their relaxation. 

Also, Capricorn season started off just the day after an Eclipse of the Full Moon on December 22nd, so that is intensity upon intensity, and this night it has come Full Circle. If you have not been sleeping very much this past month, it is totally normal as "sleep" is usually not in Capricorn Sun's planner.

Now imagine a bird racing around, zipping here and there, and everywhere, gathering sticks to make her nests.  The drive is for comfort and privacy even though they appear to be totally "out-going" and social it's all about the security of home and family. That is the Moon in Cancer.  

But while this moon phase is opposed to the setting of the Capricorn Sun, there is a vibe that could make one feel TORN, between going out, willingly sacrificing their "comfort zone", to be ambitious and successful about everything in the public eye OR needing to stay home and make everything comfortable and perfecting and protecting their private life.

The statement I give for this full moon is, 

"Taking care of business at home like you're getting paid for it!"

And personally, this sun and moon combination must have a lot to do with the fact that I "mysteriously" felt like finally reviving and updating this astrology blog.

It's "Serious Business"(Capricorn Sun) and I am
"Peacefully at Home"(Cancer Moon). :-)

No. There is Not a 13th Zodiac Sign

That "13th sign" Ophiuchus, is a constellation that has always been there like the Big Dipper . One of its stars is between Scorpio and Sagittarius on the ecliptic, but it is not part of the Zodiac. 

Easily, that one star, thousands of years ago, could have been decided to actually belong to constellation Scorpio, but it is closer to be connected to Ophiuchus.

It is not part of the Zodiac though.  This is just media garbage to get people stirred up in my opinion.  

I will not be surprised if we soon see, “ 14^th sign!“Auriga” and have an internet news report to describe Auriga being between Taurus and Gemini and that now everybody born between May 9^th and June 2^nd is an Aurigas! 

Lol ! and then watch everybody panic and spread this “news” like a wild fire.  
(“Oh no, I’m not a Taurus, but now I am an Aurigas!” and “Oh no, I’m not a Gemini, but I am now an Aurigas!”) 

And then we can all  go and look up the mythology of Aurigas and try to apply it to ourselves who are born between those dates…..

Professional astrologers are laughing at this and feeling sad for people who have right away fallen for this.

It was just a headline in the news…
