Free Love Horoscopes

Writing of the crisper air in Vermont, Mark Borax' September report makes me wistful for one of nature's most artful displays -- New England autumn colors. His Cosmic Weather Report, is a rich read, especially for Libras and those with Libra challenges. That means everyone, since we're all under Saturn's master tutelage, in the school of relating.

In a poetic analogy to the changing leaves, Mark writes, "Libra's difficulties are compounded out of the discord that results when life and love languish in trapped, withheld stages, rather than blossoming into their full colors." Mark writes as a Libra Sun himself, so you won't want to miss these wise words -- about the energy of Libra -- from a master astrologer.

The Moon is waning, creating the sense of lunar descent. From now until the New Moon in Virgo (on the 8th), the energy is on the wane, and we release what's non-essential, to be ready to plant seeds of the new.

It's the Third Quarter or waning Half-Moon today. That means the Moon is in mutable Gemini, in a square (tension) to the Sun, in mutable earth. The Full Moon in Pisces (mutable) opened the floodgates of emotion, and now some of it is lingering as standing water to be transformed. This Half Moon is a time for a second hard look at the mind-emotional body connection. How do we get stuck in patterns of crazy? What habits of thought pile on the stress, and affect our health?

The mutable signs are about the magic of shifting shape, from the many pieces that make of the whole of who we are. We're at the point in the cycle, to adjust the course, to loosen the grip on what's not working, and let it fall apart. It's being flexible with the pieces, so something wholly new can be created.

This morning, I came across an article written one year ago on 2010 predictions, that I think rings true. What caught my eye is the phrase wake-up chaos that temporarily de-stabilizes us and our relationships. From the article: "The people in your energetic sphere of influence are facing similar challenges you face-great uncertainty, sweeping changes, economic reconfiguration, ongoing chaos, and strained relationships."

The theme of the article is transparency, and how veils are dropping, so we see through deception. The facades of conditioning crack open, and it can be unnerving. A whole new way of seeing life and ourselves -- turns everything upside down.

It reflects the cardinal t-square, as what's illuminated has the potential to restore balance (Saturn Libra). It reminds me of the video of 2010 predictions from Sedona Magazine, one saying, "The world is full, fat and overly ripe now with juicy secrets." And that, "These will seed, pop and explode onto the world stage this year." In the awakening, there's a new beginning (Uranus Pisces/Aries) for us all, and this threatens the status quo, as the old ways of living have to die (Pluto Capricorn). In the cauldron of this mix-up, we discover what's authentic and true, and find Pluto's promise of renewal there.

The channel Selacia predicts that many will remember that there's a spiritual force at the core of each being. "This is the Divine spark that is within all life. The early stages of this remembering typically manifest as a general discontent." It's a kind of divine discontent, then, that leads us to question how things are, and how they could be.

What I take from this is that we are all beginners now. We can see with the wisdom of a child, but draw on our eternal spirit self, who has likely seen many winters here on Earth. While Uranus retrogrades back into Pisces to March 2011, we can revisit the many lives we've lived, and experience miraculous healing. This prepares us for the spring rush, when Uranus is back in Aries, and we move ahead lighter and even more awake to who we are -- divine sparks of life!
