Posted on by Erin Touponse

November ends on a somewhat serious and studious note. WIth Sun and Mercury sextile Saturn, patience and grounded communications are fostered. Wisdom flows during this time, particularly with the Venus/Neptune aspect that opens our intuition and higher mindfulness.

Sun sextile Saturn– themes of patience and perseverance are highlighted during this transit. This is an excellent time to reach for your goals and complete those serious or difficult tasks. This is a great time to stand up and be recognized by authority figures by focusing on hard work and steady follow through.

Mercury sextile Saturn– Saturn is a serious minded planet and with this aspect to Mercury will provide for excellent judgment, increased organizational skills and clear thinking. This is an excellent time to move forward with contracts and long term plans. Discussions with others may tend on the serious side and this is a great time for both learning and teaching.

Venus sextile Neptune– Venus is the planet of love, Neptune is a higher octave of Venus- so this transit fosters all things surrounding love and romance. Spiritual love can be expressed through religious or other spiritual group activities. Your intuition will be heightened and you may gain valuable insight through dreams and visions. Any psychic talent will be stimulated.

Within this powerful 11/11 portal

My heart is heavy with observations and acknowledgments of doubt and insecurity that had previously been covered by strength and force.

Seeing the patterns of holding onto initiating energy to hide feelings of lack and fear allows for acceptance and release.

Anger circulates on the periphery waiting for a place to enter; fulfilling old patterns used to mask the pain instead of embracing it.

Today I vow to sit within my observations- my doubts and insecurities-without force or anger so that I may better understand the wounds that have hidden inside me; so I may embrace these wounds with a loving tenderness.

Within this powerful 11/11 portal, may the shadows rise from where they slumber. May compassion be the flower that grows from within the wound and acceptance the salve that heals.

10/3- Mercury trine Jupiter

Mercury is the planet of communication. With Jupiter’s luck and expansive nature, this transit fosters optimism and good news.

Business dealings have a stroke of luck to them and this is typically an ideal time to enter into negotiations. With Mercury retrograde, it may not be the most ideal time to start something new, but if you have been working on a project for some time, good news will arise from that work.

Even with Mercury in retrograde, this is still a great time to focus on gratitude and blessings- things flow very smoothly for you now.

8/22- Full Moon in Aquarius

Posted on by Erin Touponse

This is the second Full Moon in Aquarius this year (the first occurred last month on July 23, 2021). This lunation occurs late in the sign of Aquarius, right near the cusp of Pisces.

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Leo forms an opposition to the Moon in Aquarius. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.

As the second Full Moon in Aquarius this year and occurring at the tail-end of the sign, this is about final events that awaken our feelings and that might spur us into action.

8/1- Sun conjunct Mercury, Mercury opposed Saturn

Posted on by Erin Touponse

With the Sun conjunct Mercury in Leo, the energy at first blush may feel rife with the splendor of summer days- however; with Mercury also opposing Saturn in Aquarius, what initially feels like empowered joy may result in sadness and frustration.

Today is not a day to take action. More importantly, on this day, take a step back and try to see the bigger picture. Remember that no matter what comes up- you are safe, you are loved and you okay.

Mercury’s angle to Saturn may cause exaggerated feelings of hopelessness- seeing the very worst in a situation. Work to not react and try to respond with a level energy instead.
