Free Love Horoscopes

It's the third and final day of the International Astrology Day blog carnival, this time featuring the libertine planet Uranus. CJ Wright is hosting the Uranus in Aries collection at her site Auntie Moon, and all the articles will be a permanent resource at the blog carnival main site.

I've been excited to see this one, since I've got an article in it (me, me, me!). Uranus goes into Aries on May 27th, activating our personal will and inspiriting us to do whatever it takes to embody the essence of who we are. True to Uranus' unpredictability, CJ says it's an erratic mix of topics, from a section on teens to shake ups & break-ups and technology.

Uranus Aries jolts us to live free, but the coming t-square (and grand cross) asks us to be our truest authentic selves, while also taking care of Saturn and dealing with Pluto problems. Writes, CJ on this wild one in the bunch, "It is the harnessing of this new head-butting energy that will open the door and safely deliver us to a brighter future." Oh yeah!

It's Spring Equinox, with day and night in equal balance. The Sun goes into Aries, giving us that boost of cardinal fire to act on what's been germinating all winter. It can help overcome sluggishness or apathy. We're coming alive and so is all of nature. The little buds are starting to open on my blueberry bush and we've got lots of happy birds around here (including a pair of bald eagles!) My favorite Spring sight are the bees, busy doing their thing.

The signs of Spring are comforting reminders that life renews itself. So many of us are struggling now with all this change. But I hope Spring brings a lift and some definite signs that the new is bursting forth. Spring is here -- hooray!

It's day two of the International Astrology Day blog carnival! Today's focus is on Saturn, which UK astrologer Mandi Lockley calls the most easily accessible energy of the three major planets in the cardinal t-square. The article collection is found at the main blog carnival site, and at Mandi's site, Astro Air.

Saturn has been facing off with Uranus, upsetting all the established orders, most notably with the economy. Mandi writes, "As the ripples reached our personal lives, our ability to remain flexible yet strong in the face of disruptive change has been tested, none more so since Saturn moved into Libra and began to square Pluto in Capricorn, a transit signifying restriction and hard, hard work."

It looks like a great collection of topics related to Saturn from using quartz crystals, budgeting, time management to boundaries, the 2nd Saturn return, astrology of mid-life and of course, relationships. In the spirit of Libra, I hope you find some illumination on Saturn in these pages.

It's the first day of the International Astrology Day blog carnival! That means the articles on Pluto are now LIVE via the main blog carnival site. The Pluto section there leads to Donna Cunningham's skywriter site and the collection of articles on the everyday challenges related to Pluto in Capricorn -- everything from credit card debt to insomnia, from infertility to special advice for the Pluto Libra generation (1971-84).

After the high flying days of bubbles and living beyond our means, Pluto in Capricorn has brought us down to earth with a thud. Writes Donna, "The era of Pluto in Capricorn is a time of facing reality, getting grounded, paying the bills, and being accountable for our actions. It hasn't been fun!" Donna, who has a background in social work, was inspired to put together articles for everyday people adapting to extreme changes in our real lives. I'm sure there's something useful here for everyone, as we all seek to do our best in a trying time.
