The New Moon in Aquarius unfolding  into February invites you into more changes and breakthroughs. A revolutionary spirit and new ideas are in the air but with Mars retrograde you are asked to reconsider your plans of action carefully to successfully accomplish future goals. Everything is slowing down. Make sure you defend your turf and territory and stand up for what is important to you. High frequency Mars actions are symbolized by the warrior of the heart, the one who fights for what is worth fighting for in attunement with the heart.A high Mars we also manifest  in finding the courage to face our fears and limitations and act accordingly.

In astrology the key which is given to you is a higher perspective and consciousness of your given situation. A higher perspective can give you better choices and the achievement of your goals and more ease and joy in riding the wave of your life.These days we all are facing tremendous challenges with Pluto, Uranus and Neptune on a collective level as well as a personal level.

In an astrological reading we can see how the individual is touched by the transits of Saturn, Uranus, Pluto and Neptune. These planets are the culprits, symbolizing the profound changes happening at this crucial time on this planet. Knowing what is going on for you personally, looking at it from a higher perspective, will help you to better adjust and consciously choose better ways to deal with the situation. Depending on which planet is impacting you the most will determine whether the highest frequency of your contribution is that of a rebellious spirit, an accomplished organizer, a spiritual guide or teacher.

Also Neptune will be floating into its own sign Pisces on February 4 and will stay there for the next 14 years. This is very powerful and offers hope for the rising of consciousness worldwide and acting more and more from a place of oneness and connectedness. Unconditional love and compassion are the most beautiful flowers of Piscean consciousness. Where transiting Neptune is located in your personal chart you will be asked to learn, adapt and contribute your own little piece of consciousness.

Tune in to your message from the stars…

Aries (March 21 to April 20)
Your restless spirit will spark you into long term plans for new adventures and projects; cooperation with other like-minded souls will be the vehicle to make your dreams come true. Take plenty of time to think things through, because till April there will be obstacles.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)
You want to focus more on opportunities than on resources. Your inner growth, feeling good about yourself and your level of skills will be the determining factors for your success in the material world and recognition of what you have to offer.

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)
You can find a higher perspective through contemplation, by putting all the bits and pieces of your knowledge into a concise picture. Problems are always solved on a Meta level, not on the level of the problems. Allowing a higher state of consciousness will do the trick.

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)
True comfort and trust with another human being has to grow with time and experience. Keep your vision for true intimacy alive, which is based in friendship. Respect for each other’s individuality will guide you.

Leo (July 23 to Aug 22)
A new beginning is on the brink for you in your relationships and with friends. You can shine, sparkle and be reflected by your partner if you give the same back. Acknowledging each other positively will enhance those qualities greatly.

Virgo (Aug 23 to Sept 22)
You can take on a new perspective for yourself, your skills and how you contribute to the world. You will be guided from you own soul towards a new horizon with a totally new landscape.

Libra (Sept 23 to Oct 22)
You will meet new friends and like-minded souls. Sharing your creativity, your sense of beauty and caring for others will bring joy and excitement. It is not too late to plan and set your intentions for the year.

Scorpio (Oct 23 to Nov 22)
It is a good time to enjoy your bonds with your close friends and family; or even to extend your sense of family to one of those many abandoned animals on the island. Call the Humane Society or the 9th Life. Love and care is in the air!

Sagittarius (Nov 23 to Dec 20)
Your information and communication skills can be expanded; and you can learn more deeply and directly right now by trusting your own five senses and your own experience.

Capricorn (Dec 21 to Jan 19)
Consolidation and self-discipline is easy for you. This month you are asked to find new ways of using your resources and skills and to feel good about who you are and what you have to contribute.

Aquarius (Jan 20 to Feb 18)
You are the initiator with the vision and dreams of what is on the horizon for us… individuality and freedom, breakthrough in the cutting edge of science and equality, not just for the few one percent…

Pisces (Feb 19 to Mar 20)
Meditation and retreat is a good way for you to replenish your energies and connect with your divine guidance. With Neptune entering your sign, you are called to hold the frequency of higher consciousness, spiritual guidance and compassion for us all.

Shakti Carola Navran is an evolutionary astrologer, jeweler, and published author: “I have been giving astrological readings professionally for 33 years now and I love to do this work. To look at a chart through the evolutionary perspective of the soul adds a deeply meaningful and significant perception of yourself and your activities in your life. I believe that a higher perspective will always give you better choices to align yourself with the current cosmic flow and helps you riding the wave more joyfully.

Over the last few months, everyone has been impacted by the worldwide situation and the economical roller coaster, even if only emotionally. The morphogenetic field of consciousness is connecting us all into oneness. Each one of us is growing and adjusting in our personal journey and is feeding back into that collective field of human consciousness.  In that way, you and I are making a profound difference in the bigger picture and some of us are even called to do more than others.

In an astrological reading we can see how the individual is touched by the transits of Saturn, Uranus, Pluto and Neptune. These planets are the culprits, symbolizing the profound changes happening at this crucial time on this planet. Knowing what is going on for you personally, looking at it from a higher perspective, will help you to better adjust and consciously choose better ways to deal with the situation.

But with the Full Moon in Cancer, we know for sure that all the moms are the ones holding the heart and spirit of the family in their hands, nourishing against all odds and setting the emotional tone. Are you allowing fear or love to rule your everyday experience? FEAR can be translated as “false evidence appearing real.” Do you remember how much energy you have given in the past to worrying about something in your life which has actually turned out okay after all?

So the question is: how can you best support yourself to act from a place of love and faith instead of fear? I believe by building community, a strong support system between friends and your extended family, you are doing the most good for yourself and others. This Full Moon in Cancer highlights the interplay between the inner and outer realities, your emotional perception of the world and the reflection in the outer world around you. Cancer is representing the feminine, nourishing qualities of the Great Mother, the matrix of creation.

By focusing on solutions in your life instead of worries and fears or the problems you perceive, you are using the “Law of Attraction” to your highest benefit.

With the next lunar cycle starting this month with the New Moon in Aquarius we will receive a new download of evolutionary energies, new ideas and cutting edge thoughts and breakthroughs. The image of the Water Bearer, symbolizes the pouring forth of inspiration from a higher source, bringing in a higher consciousness available to the collective.  This New Moon initiates us into a new level of breakdowns and breakthroughs.

With Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius residing in Aries for the next 7 years, you are invited to develop courage in the face of all odds, believing into your dreams and fighting for your highest vision. This Arian Uranus is a warrior for freedom and progress, a passionate hero for the less fortunate and an inspiring role model for the new millennium, the new age dawning. Change is in the air and actually happening pretty rapidly and you are a part of it! How exciting is that?

In January, Sun and Pluto will be in conjunction and setting a more radical tone for what needs to change in our political and economic structures. The Occupy Movement around the country has the potential to spark a deep transformation of society. And, as Marianne Williamson says: “We have to keep it smart, non-violent and growing…”

Tune in to your personal message from the stars …                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Aries (March 21 to April 20)
It is your time to be a shining light for your community. Stepping up, taking responsibility and being accountable for your words, followed by action, is your way to success. You have more to offer than you think!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)
You are still the lucky one with Jupiter in your sign. If you want to take advantage and reap the harvest fully, you need to look for growth and a higher perspective in your life. Learning and deepening your education is helpful!

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)
You need to slow down and express your inner truth more honestly with your loved ones. Listening to others, really listening from an open heart space, is on the itinerary for you. You will be rewarded with a deepened intimacy in your relationships.

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)
This might be a great time for you to take your intimate relationship to another level of commitment or to move on. Ask yourself the question: Is this really the way I want my relationship to be?

Leo (July 23 to Aug 22)
This month your focal point is moving your attention away from your own self. You need to take on opportunities to serve others and add value to other people’s lives. This will be deeply satisfying and meaningful!

Virgo (Aug 23 to Sept 22)
Let go of your self- imposed critic and focus on your self-expression without thinking much about it. Find some creative projects and try your fingers in some new pies…You will be able to shine and receive applause for your contributions!

Libra (Sept 23 to Oct 22)
It is time for honest self-evaluation in the area of home and family. Have you been able to create the committed and bonded home situation you are longing for? What would it take for you to feel truly loved and appreciated?

Scorpio (Oct 23 to Nov 22)
You are asked to feel comfortable learning to be more outgoing and to communicate with ease. Your written and spoken word can find a higher and more skillful way to express your thoughts and feelings.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 to Dec 20)
You are invited to reach a new level of feeling good about yourself by sharing and contributing from your wide array of skills in your repertoire. Also your physical body wants to be celebrated and taken care for.

Capricorn (Dec 21 to Jan 19)
Your ideas about change and transformation need to be put into action. You have the qualities of a spokesperson, leader and pioneer in the Grand Scheme of things. You are an advocate for the less fortunate.

Aquarius (Jan 20 to Feb 18)
To truly find your voice and vision you need to take some time off. A retreat on your own with time to meditate and smell the roses will be a reconnection with what is your true nature. You will feel enriched and inspired!

Pisces (Feb 19 to Mar 20)
Your contribution is to be the voice of reason, of unconditional love and the light of the divine shining through your words and actions. Meeting new people, who can become your friends and meaningful connections in service of a higher cause, will bring joy to your heart!

When we talk about the Moon we are talking about our inner world of feelings, intuition and the sub- consciousness.

Moon represents the Great Mother, the mothering spirit or Goddess and will show us in our personal horoscope our reigning need in order to be happy and feel nourished by life. A Moon with a Solar or Lunar Eclipse is an extra strong influence.

This month we are having a Lunar Eclipse with the Full Moon in Gemini. A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Moon passes behind the Earth and blocks the Sun’s radiation to reach the Moon and will only happen on a Full Moon.

A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and blocks the Sun’s rays to reach parts of the Earth which will only happen on a New Moon.

In both cases the flow of the electromagnetic  energy radiating at all times from the Sun like the ultraviolet, infrared, x-rays and radio waves will be interrupted and thus will be affecting our biological processes as well as our consciousness on Earth.

Whenever we have a Solar or Lunar Eclipse the interruption of electromagnetic flow of energy from the Sun. This process of re-booting consciousness can be an opportunity for a jump into a higher state of consciousness.

We can think about the Eclipses as turning points and new opportunities of our consciousness to grow on its journey. The Lunar Eclipse would be specifically working through inner emotional guidance and the Solar Eclipse in changes through new insights and breakthroughs in the way of thinking or decisions making.

The whole point is by following the Lunar journey throughout the zodiac, we can actively use the energies of the cosmic flow to set our intentions and ride the wave with consciousness.

Full Moon in Gemini with Mercury Retrograde

With this month’ Lunar Eclipse in the mental sign of Gemini and Mercury still retrograde till Dec 13, there will be a more inward orientation but with plenty of mental activities. With Gemini we perceive the world curiously and through all our senses. The love for communication and connection will be dampened a little because of the retrograde Mercury. It seems like that with the Lunar Eclipse we will have a good chance for some emotional balance with our reasoning capacities. And that will help us to make better decision throughout this month.

New Moon in Capricorn

The New Moon in Capricorn starts a new cycle of emotional journey. Capricorn symbolizes as an animal as the mountain goat; or the archetype of the elder, the hermit, the father and strategist. Because of all those associations it is a good time for you to climb “a mountain,” to develop more self-discipline and become more focused onto your true desires and responsibilities.

The New Moon is truly a magic moment in time when the seed of the new is born out of the darkness. Allow yourself to be guided towards new dimensions and fulfillment of your inner vision. Action steps towards that vision are required and will lead you towards your mountain worth climbing.

Most of December the Sun and Mercury will be in Sagittarius and they will raise questions about the objectivity of your belief systems and ideologies. The simplest answer should be that whatever works for the greater good for the many, is a path worth walking. Sagittarian optimism and gracious openness for adventure and higher perspectives will guide you. Mercury retrograde is as usual straining our patience with hang-ups in communications and electronic devices, but it will go direct Dec 13. Tune in to your message from the stars and your role:

Aries (March 21 to April 20)

Adventure or meaningful pilgrimage is on your menu. Or you could decide to sign up for some classes at MCC and deepen your education. How about that computer class you have wanted to do for a while now?

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)

Playing the lottery could be successful for you this coming year, believe it or not. After all, you have to make yourself available for the abundance the universe has to offer to you. Ask yourself the question: Where have you underestimated yourself?

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)

You are good with communication to begin with but now you really want to go to another level with your loved ones and friends. You can have deeply meaningful conversations with people close to you or even with new friends to be.

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)

You need to take a deeper look at how you are earning your living. How satisfying is the work you are doing? How can you be of service for more people and truly make a difference? Express your opinions… no holding back for you!

Leo (July 23 to Aug 22)

Wow! You have so much energy, so many projects, ideas and fiery passion going on this month, it might be just exhausting to watch you rip through them. Make sure to eat well and get some sleep. Center stage for you and huge successes!

Virgo (Aug 23 to Sept 22)

You probably will do some traveling to see family or loved ones for Christmas. Expect fun and high energy! Be expressive with your true feelings and share your love freely.

Libra (Sept 23 to Oct 22)

Honest communication is on for you but you might expect some misunderstandings till Mercury goes direct again in the middle of December. It is important for you to make a stand with your opinion and inner truth no matter what. Trust yourself!

Scorpio (Oct 23 to Nov 22)

Money, money, money… is happening for you and opportunities are shaping up. Jupiter opposing your sign could be beneficial for fortunes and good luck if you find ways to channel the energy. Learn more about the art of investments… gold, silver, oil… all the riches from the inner earth.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 to Dec 20)

You are a happy camper in your own element. No holding back! You will have to sharpen your decision making skills and take some risks outside your usual comfort zone. Play big!

Capricorn (Dec 21 to Jan 19)

You need some time on your own with the space for solitude and meditation. A meditation retreat would be wonderful to re-evaluate and make new plans for the next year. But be careful not to isolate yourself into loneliness. Balance is your ticket!

Aquarius (Jan 20 to Feb 18)

Revolutionary ideas will help ready yourself for a quantum leap into a new level of consciousness. Finding new like-minded friends will be helpful and inspiring. Expect more of the unexpected right now. You are in for a wild ride!

Pisces (Feb 19 to Mar 20)

Your mission this month is to be heard and seen in a more public role, maybe as a speaker or somebody with a message. You could start to feel more comfortable with speaking through checking out Toastmasters and you can even learn to enjoy being the center of attention.

If you like to see me on YouTube with the Astrological Weather Report of the month you can go to….

Moon stands for the archetype of motherhood and this article is dedicated to all the mothers doing such a wonderful job in taking care for the little, but most important things and making such a difference in the life of many…

Fear has been in the air and riots in the streets! We all have at least friends and family who have fallen on hard times, lost their houses or their jobs. We feel strongly what is happening because of that deeper inner connection of oneness or you could call it the morphogenetic field. It is easy to get caught up in anxiety and fear.

Being a Mom means you are the center of the family- the healer, the shepherd. You are setting the emotional tone nourishing the needs of your kids and partner. If you don’t feel good – nobody in your family feels good. Self-care is absolute paramount for you these days! By taking care for your own needs first you are taking care for your family. Only a full cup of water can sustain their thirst!

The question is how can you balance yourself? How can you find your place in all this? How can you step up with courage into the unknown and the new horizon of consciousness? And how can you be of help for others? Astrology is holding some answers for you because it gives you the conscious awareness for higher or lower choices based on the energetic, archetypal fields involved.

Following the Lunar astrology with the magic points of the Full Moon and New Moon you can learn to align yourself consciously with the universal currents and navigate the choppy waters more graciously.

Full Moon in Taurus November 10

After having five planets in Scorpio as well as the New Moon in Scorpio at the end of October; now the intensity is leveling out a bit. With Taurus you are invited to take care for your body, your needs and find out how to balance yourself within the demands of the physical world. Step by step Taurus moves ahead, faces reality and what needs to be done.

Most of October, in the Scorpio period, things were stripped away and maybe changes were forced onto you. Now Taurus will help you to integrate and make good practical use of those insights and revelations. Chopping wood and carrying water, enlightened or not, attunement to practical demands of life is crucial.

New Moon in Sagittarius Marks a Solar Eclipse and Mercury Turning Retrograde

A new cycle starts with the most gregarious, outgoing sign of the zodiac. Your attention is pointed outwards and towards growth and fortunate manifestations. It is a time to ask yourself: where you have been holding back and underestimated yourself? It is a month to step up to the plate, play your hand fully and take some risks. Communications will have obstacles and you need to keep the bigger picture in mind.

Eclipses are extra strong and potent New Moons. In a Solar Eclipse the Moon interrupts the energetic flow from the Sun and we are re-booting consciousness. New dimensions and pattern in consciousness can evolve, a new matrix set into motion. Life changing truth, new frontiers and possibilities can define a new direction to go.

There is a lot to talk about this Moon cycle with the Solar Eclipse and Mercury retrograde this month. I like to invite you to join me for my Full/New Moon presentation at the Temple of Peace/ Maui at Monday Nov 10 at 6:30 pm for some teachings as well as a powerful NLP style meditation to harness the power of the changing tides of the Moon for you.

If you haven’t had the chance to come to my astrological forecast for November and New Moon presentation you now can watch me on YouTube…oh my God…
This is the first time I have been seeing myself on Video and I am so not used to myself that way…

But I am sure you will enjoy the talk which I broke up into two parts A and B. Go to YouTube and tell me what you think!

The question as always is:
What fruits do you want the next month to bear for you? How can you align yourself with the cosmic forces for more harmony, balance and joy in your life? How can you ride the wave successfully? We will look at the sign of the New Moon in relation to your personal Sun sign which will give you insight and a higher perspective onto what is happening in the stars and your emotional responses.

Throughout most of November we will have 4 planets in Scorpio. That will raise the stakes to a “no nonsense” kind of attitude and it will show on the streets. Scorpio is intense, interested in the raw truth; revealing shadows and dark secrets. I would assume that we are not done with protests. We are just at the beginning of a massive uprising of people “who just have had it!” Grass root movements and the public pressure for real changes are getting stronger. Tune in to your message from the stars and your role:

Aries (March 21 to April 20)
You feel impatient and easily triggered into reaction or action. There is a revolutionary spirit in you waiting to break free. Make sure to find appropriate ways to express your energies and be cautious of acting out.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)
There is some work to be done in your relationships. Be truthful about your inner needs for safety, reliability, and loyalty. Allow your partner to see you more completely and naked; invite a new dimension of honesty into your relationships.

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)
You need to take particular care for your well-being and health this month. Self-care with the emphasis on discovering new and transformative ways should be in the foreground. This is a good time for a series of colon cleanses and adjustments in your diet.

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)
It is all about the right relationship with love, pleasure and fun. Finding your true self-expression will have a lot to do with your willingness to take a risk and step out of your protective cocoon and connect with others.

Leo (July 23 to Aug 22)
Who is allowed access to your castle – your inner world? And how deep and how far can you let that happen? Transformation and renewal of your bonds with your family and loved ones can happen after you take an honest look at the situation.

Virgo (Aug 23 to Sept 22)
Be careful not to be carried away by self-criticism and negativity. There is a difference between honest self-inquiry or indulging into a negative attitude towards yourself and towards the world.

Libra (Sept 23 to Oct 22)
Your longing for love and harmony needs to be tempered by the ability to discriminate and choose the right partner for you. What do you need to feel good about yourself? Find your own strength and resources first.

Scorpio (Oct 23 to Nov 22)
You will find the Scorpion intensity this month utterly familiar. You have the ability to help others through your guidance and experience in those choppy waters. You are asked to step into your leadership capabilities and discover your personal power more deeply.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 to Dec 20)
The inner and the outer journey need to align for you right now. A pilgrimage or a night in the Haleakala Crater will guide you towards a new and bigger vision for your life. Meditation and contemplation are useful tools for you.

Capricorn (Dec 21 to Jan 19)
You are learning so much about yourself these days with Pluto in your sign. This month’s lesson is to find like minded souls, your tribe and learn to share your responsibilities. Open yourself for new friends and companions on your journey of deep inner transformation.

Aquarius (Jan 20 to Feb 18)
Your innovative spirit needs to show up for a worthwhile mission. You are a role model and rebel because you are carrying the archetype of revolution and freedom of conventions. Take your place in your community and share your zany perspective.

Pisces (Feb 19 to Mar 20)
Chiron, the wounded healer has entered your sign and invites you to do some deep inner work and healing in areas which have been deeply unconscious till now. You will come to understand some deep inner dimensions of your psyche for the next step in your evolution.

The New Moon is a magical moment in time; there is no light reflected and it is a rebirth out of the darkness of the womb of the divine into a new cycle of creation. It is a most powerful time to set your intentions.The Full Moon is an excellent time to take stock and review your intentions and adjust your course of action if needed.

Fear is in the air! The stock market is melting down again and there is growing unrest in this country which is played down by the media. We have demonstrations on Wall Street and a revolution is brewing. We are all connected and we all have at least friends and family who have fallen on hard times, lost their houses or their jobs. We feel strongly what is happening because of that deeper inner connection of oneness or you could call it the morphogenetic field. It is easy to get caught up in anxiety and fear.

The question is how can we balance ourselves? How can we find our place in all this? How can we step up with courage into the unknown and the new horizon of consciousness?

Astrology is holding some answers for you because it gives you the conscious awareness for higher or lower choices based on the energetic, archetypal fields involved.

Pluto, Uranus and Neptune

Wherever the big players are in your chart; Pluto in Capricorn squaring Uranus in Aries and Neptune in Pisces, you are called to active integration and contribution to the whole. Lately I have been looking almost exclusively at charts for people who have been part of that “call for evolution”. We are living in exciting times. I believe we all have signed up to be part of this enormous revolution of consciousness.

But then some of us play a very active role in this process as leaders, healers or teachers. Depending on how Pluto, Uranus and Neptune touch your planets and houses it shows you where your expertise and soul commitment resides. It shows you how you personally can ride this enormous wave of tremendous changes breaking.

Mayan Calendar and New Moon

This month coincides with the end of the Mayan calendar Oct 11- 26 which is thought of as the emergence of a dimensional shift into higher consciousness. It is the completion of one cycle and the beginning of another. The Full Moon in Aries coincides with that final phase emphasizing the new beginning and sheds light and asks for emotional courage.

Libra Planets

We are relational beings! Families, relationships and social structures make us into who we take ourselves to be. We feel reflected, inspired, educated, loved or rejected by others. The sign of Libra indicates the whole mystery of close, intimate relationships as well as friends or meeting the “other” in general. With Libra we learn about love, harmony, peace and discrimination of our true needs and desires.

Earlier in October with 4 planets in Libra we will learn about compromise and balance in relationships which will be deepened with the Saturn Sun conjunction in Libra. Saturn brings to the fore issues of integrity, accountability, what works and the ability to set healthy boundaries.

The New Moon in Libra Sept 27, three days apart from the Equinox, started our journey into deeper wisdom and willingness to consider and attune to the others.

Five Planets in Scorpio Coming Up

The last week of this month we will have five planets in Scorpio, which will be dominating the heavens and our inner experience. There is the sense of urgency and time is running out. The New Moon in Scorpio makes us emotionally moody, intense and focused inwards. The Jupiter opposition and the trine to Neptune are adding another layer to the situation. Jupiter always wants to look at the big picture and Neptune can contribute higher awareness as well as misguidance, lies and betrayal.

Scorpios are known for being very intense, emotional, willing to go deep for the truth and maybe uncomfortably honest about it. Looking at the hidden structures, the deep inner psychology of the moment Scorpios are good at unraveling dark secrets.

With five planets in Scorpio we will have to look at uncomfortable truth and the strategies of misinformation and lies in the media might blow wide open. There will be more intensity on the streets with Mars still in fiery Leo till November 11.

What is pressing on all of us is the meltdown of our economy, the abuse through politicians, banks and corporate world dynamics for profit and greed.

How come that the people who caused the last meltdown in 2008 were the ones getting bonuses from the money we had to buy them out with? You really wonder how long that strategy will work for them.

With so much Scorpio energy this might be a month of facing the truth, gaining real insight into what needs to be done and acted upon. For real transformation and change to happen facing the truth of the moment is the first step.
