Why doesn't everyone love to take out the garbage?

Through the first decade of this new millennium we schlepped tons of rotting cultural and moral  leftovers, and they’re really beginning to stink!  

At last we’ve put our abuses on trial.  Pluto, the lord of the underworld, has unearthed our darkest secrets--sexual abuse, greed for power, numbing of consciousness through drugs and alcohol.  Like wet worms writhing in our streets, they futilely try for another hiding place.  

Enter Uranus, the god of lightning, blazing new trails of courage, daring and initiative for all who would be free.  Outspoken demands for change are explosive, even impulsive, but intent on fresh air.

As we stand at today’s crossroads, where Uranus’ fire announces a drastic upheaval and Pluto’s power to transform insists on pulling up the roots, delay hurts us.

Yet to publicly demonize a few, when our culture at large set this destructive stage, is like putting a bandaid on a severed aorta.  A lot of bleeding without remedy.  

One road, less traveled, is the road of the revolutionary.  Another is the road through hell & back, the way of introspection.  And can you see a third way, a bridge across the great divide?

Feel the earth quake.  Choose.  Throw your junk into the fire!

The Force of clean air is with you.
The week of June 24, 2012.

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Nothing earth shattering for you at Sunday’s crossroads, because blazing a new trial is already your forte.  You’ve been in a slow change in self-identity and self-confidence since March of 2011.  Now you’re striving to make the greatest possible mark upon the world, and today’s the first of seven platforms to do that on.  Write, create, give birth to new ways to express your ideas when Mental Mercury begins a nine week stay in fiery Leo at 7:24 PM, PDT, Monday.  Brains-on-fire, and focused attention for tackling problems make this a very productive time.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You’ve become an expert at finding out where the skeletons are hidden, both in your own unconscious fears and in society at large.  Its been a time of clearing the decks for a new understanding and a new philosophy of life.  You are at the crossroads of possibility, expansion and adventure.  You find the courage to let go of the old and outworn.  You benefit from the Moon’s move into earthy Virgo at 4:42 AM, PDT on Sunday.  Help for putting the pieces together after the volcanic eruptions in people’s live puts you in a position to be of service to others. Friday your search for knowledge triggers the need for an important decision.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You’ve had a revolution in your hopes and expectations of life since March, 2011.  Your horizons have raised and you no longer “settle” for less.   You're at the crossroads of new experiences and fear has no place here.  Serious Saturn’s about face on Sunday helps you organize those plans you’ve been working on since February, and put them into effective action.  A booster shot of creativity begins Monday evening when Messenger Mercury enters self-confident Leo for nine weeks of strengthened willpower.  Friday an issue regarding your resources requires a decision that hopefully frees you.

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
You’ve been through a profound transformation of your relationships, especially close encounters with someone close to you.  Now you’re redefining the relationship to free yourself from the tensions that probably lived below the surface.  If you have freed yourself from power struggles, you find you are a different person--ready to experience a new life.  Friday is an auspicious day for you when the Sun in Cancer triggers a decision to celebrate your distinctness and breathe in a new self-confidence.  

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Zip up the plans you’ve worked on since February and turn your attention to launching those ideas in the outer world.  You move into action with the forward march of Saturn on Tuesday.  Look for business partnerships to grow in the disciplined fields you’ve cultivated since July, 2010.  A big boost to your executive skills comes with the mental focus you get when Messenger Mercury moves into self-confident Leo at 7:24 PM, PDT, Monday. Creative ideas come like fireworks for the next nine weeks!  Friday your hopes and dreams get triggered into a new paradigm.  

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Unexpected “fated” events have brought changes in your life since March, 2011, particularly involving your children or a creative project.  Now power struggles due to pressure to change are coming to a head, and you face the choice to let go--or shift your attention to a new obsession (not recommended).  Help in sorting out your feelings comes your way Sunday evening when the Moon shifts into Virgo.  Friday a friend helps you see the powerful influence you are having on another.  

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Sunday’s crossroads find you grounded in the taproot of what is “home” to you.  You’re stepping into your private power in relationships.  Saturn slowly turns around Monday and marches forward toward Scorpio, his new sign on October 5th.  Since July 22, 2010, you’ve shouldered heavy obligations, and become keenly aware that accomplishments of any lasting value grow out of cooperation with others and mutual commitment born of discipline and mature responsibility.  Monday brings a big shift in communications when the winged messenger moves into passionately creative Leo.  Friday a career event triggers the need to make an important decision.  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
You’re in for a new attitude!  Either you will revolt against some oppressive obligations or you will find work that gives you more freedom.  More than any other sign, Scorpio rises at Sunday’s crossroads like a Phoenix--ready to take drastic action to reform your life. Sexual needs are forefront, and demand to be met.  When Mental Mercury shifts signs into Leo on Monday, your creative ideas are filled with more confidence but you’ll have to look elsewhere for the patience to implement them.  Friday you can expect an adventure or “aha” experience to act as a trigger for an important decision.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
The transformation in the way you use your birth potential has been getting booster shots of unexpected changes since March 2011.  Will you use your resources to develop your creativity?  This is one question at Sunday’s crossroads.  Clarity and creativity in your thinking will come beginning Monday, when Messenger Mercury moves into self-confident Leo.  Expect an issue related to inheritance or corporate finance to trigger the need for a decision on Friday.  

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Pluto, the lord of the underworld, has been haunting your Capricorn Sun since December, 2008, bringing upheavals in your self-confidence and the way you express yourself in the world.  Uranus, the god of lightning, added revolution in your home in March, 2011.  Now you’ve been reinventing your self-image and readying yourself to take a new stand.  Your assertiveness takes a fiery change beginning Monday when Mental Mercury moves into roaring, regal Leo.  Friday brings a need for decisions regarding your intimate partnerships.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Your secret hopes and dreams have undergone a revolutionary change and with Sunday’s crossroads you are urged to look at your life in a different way.  The tempo of communications picks up, especially after Monday when Mental Mercury moves into self-confident Leo at 7:24 PM, PDT.  It’s best to think and plan with another person as your sounding board.  You need more intellectual stimulation.  Friday an event at work triggers the need for you to take a new direction.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
Sunday’s crossroads give you choices to make about creating community/participating in groups and freeing up your resources.  As a Pisces, your compassionate intuition about the needs of humanity are in-sync with Pluto’s insistence on reforms in the way your deepest needs are met.   Unconscious obsessions and fears are unearthed.  When Mercury moves into self-confident Leo at 7:24 PM, PDT, Monday your work takes a creative turn and you’re more outspoken.   Events on Friday provide an important trigger for activating your decisions to break free.

Tip your hat to the New Revolution

Aung San Suu Kyi stepped to the podium as a perfect example of the New Revolution occurring now, courtesy of Transformational Pluto squaring-off with Break-free Uranus.  This heroine of Burma was held in Pluto’s underworld grip, then freed from her chains* by revolutionary Uranus.  She emerges from her private journey through hell holding the Nobel Prize, still teaching peace when she said, ”it opened up a door in my heart.”

Look for the similarities in your own journey as we come to the June 24th gateway, they are most definitely there.  If you allowed your trip through Pluto’s fire to transform you, you rise up with a heart more open to claim your own prize.  

The crescendo includes a New Moon in late Gemini, both a beginning and a conclusion, on Tuesday at 8:02 AM, PDT, and the Summer Solstice marking the shortest night on Wednesday at 4:09 PM, when the Sun enters Cancer.  

So start your week whispering sweet somethings in the ear of one you love, because while you were sleeping the Moon laid down with our celestial Santa Claus, Jupiter.  Although both are newly caught up in the curious swirl of Gemini’s quick-witted air, they breathe confidence and kindness into the winds saying, “everything’s gonna be alright.”  

The Force of a new day is with you.
Happy Father’s Day, June 17, 2012.  Here’s your weekly horoscope:

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Brush Fires are eliminating old growth, enriching the creative ground you stand on.  Uranus, the god of lightning quick changes, in your sign is the only fire in the zodiac now but you’re intellectually fueled with quick-wit and curiosity on Tuesday’s New Moon. Expect change and transformation in your ambitions and the way in which your career aligns with your true Self.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You may be the only one at your office with a foot on the ground this week!  There’s a cross roads approaching with a pull between trying to hold onto old ways of doing things versus freeing yourself from restrictions that have held you back.  Use Tuesday’s New Moon to grab a new idea about your life’s direction and your resources--even if it seems to come out of thin air.  After the Summer Solstice Wednesday, the Cancer Sun will help you put practical feet to your inspirations.  

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
What can I say?  You’re so locked and loaded this week you may never touch down!  Sun’s shine, Venus’ love, lunar intuition, topped off with Generous Jupiter--all in Gemini for Tuesday’s New Moon.  If you ever wanted to be “beamed up” this is it!  Keep notes of your inspirational ideas and try to pace yourself.  Plus, you’re getting organizational genius thrown in from Saturn.  A moment of truth happens on Wednesday’s Solstice.   

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
It’s best to tie down your goals least they get blown about in the ivory tower of Gemini’s intellectual searching!  But just two hours after Tuesday’s New Moon, she returns to her favorite home, Cancer, and you have your deepest needs met.  And it just gets better at 4:09 PM, PDT, Wednesday when the Sun shines its light in Cancer.  This annual event marks the Sun’s pinnacle, the first day of summer, and the longest day (5:48 AM to 8:45 PM).  It’s a time of well-being for you.  If your birthday falls this week, it’s an auspicious new era in your life, especially your career.  You may take a leadership role as a caregiver or spiritual guide for others in these changing times.  

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Upbeat and packed with action, this week blows out all the stops.  Tuesday’s New Moon sparks your friendships, which may be the source of a fresh way of thinking or exciting travel.  But use erasable ink--everything changes on Wednesday.  You can trust your impulses to be creatively just right when the Moon rises in Leo Thursday evening.  Your work world is the arena for changes that can free you from  restrictions.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Polish off your natural common sense.  It’s going to be in high demand this week.  Use Tuesday’s New Moon to free your creativity and let it transform some restricitve childhood conditioning.  Wednesday brings you a longing for some easy at-home time to yourself, especially if you have a few lingering bad dreams.  The god of communications helps you cut through misunderstandings on Thursday, and clean up the emotional spills from the week’s hectic pace.  By healing from too much “doing,” you take your place as a healer.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
You’re in for a wild ride this week, and you probably thought you’d already done that!  Tuesday’s New Moon is a well-orchestrated symphony rearranging the belief systems that play in your head, lifting them from their roots.  A zap of unexpected notes arrives midweek, keeping your direction fluid--ready to turn on a dime.  Just what’s needed for transforming your home base and changing your partnerships--which is what you’re called to do at this first gateway to a new freedom, a new happiness.

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
Neptune’s deep sea of dreams and wishes is your best friend this week.  Looking past the wall of words coming at you, and finding the truth of who your friends and partners really are, is the gift you can give.  Tuesday’s New Moon affects your career, adding something fresh to your ambitions and taking away the old and outworn.  You enjoy a sense of well-being when Wednesday’s Summer Solstice arrives with your compatible neighbor, Cancer, bringing you a comforting meal.  This becomes especially sweet on Saturday (8:54 PM, PDT) when magic fills the air with compassion and love.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
You’re learning that the purpose of any relationship is to make you both happy.  And for you this does not mean giving up your freedoms, but finding them expand in a loving partnership.  Creativity in the way you use your resources is the challenge you face from the approaching crossroads of revolutionary transformations.  Use Tuesday’s uplifting New Moon to open fresh dialogue and weed out dead wood in your relationships.  Thursday evening begins an auspicious two days for giving birth to a new life.  

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Some mental confusion and fight of ideas may be unsettling until you reach midweek and can see they were in your own best interests.  The Summer Solstice, 4:09 PM, PDT, Wednesday, helps you relax into an easy chair and appreciate the comforts of home.  You have a talent for putting your thoughts into action this week which softens the edges of Pluto’s push to transform your self-image and build your self-confidence.  These qualities are the prize waiting for you as you open your heart to love.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
This will be an intellectually heady week in which your feet barely touch the ground.  Expect to be inspired as you let your heart open to the needs of your neighbors.  Tuesday’s Gemini New Moon calls you to leave behind remnants of the past.  Wednesday is electrifying, so don’t expect your plans to go along as usual.  The Solstice turns your attention to your home and family where there is work to be done.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
Tuesday evening you get a lovely break in action and some much needed emotional nourishment as this New Moon may have you balancing the books and cleaning out your inbox.  The shortest night at Wednesday’s Summer Solstice brings you harmony at home and a sympathetic spiritual connection to your family.  Your friends are your greatest resource for knowing what to change and what to discard as you approach the first gateway of the New Revolution occurring June 24th.  Where do you need to take a stand?

* The natal astrology for Aung San Suu Kyi is remarkable for this poignant time in our history:  The June 24th square between Pluto and Uranus is at 8 degrees Capricorn and 8 degrees Aries respectively; the natal placement of Uranus for Aung San Suu Kyi is 8 degrees Leo, exactly trine Uranus in Aries.  Revolutionary freedom!

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)

Two eclipses in one week?

Flips, leaps, and jumps.  The ground is moving beneath our feet and mental gymnastics are a required skill.   Wear your Beam Shoes, I’m told it makes for a softer landing!

The Sagittarius Lunar eclipse occurs Monday morning at 4:13 AM, PDT.  The Moon interrupts the willful Sun, and we feel pulled between action and intuition.

Venus in Gemini eclipses the Sun Tuesday at 6:11 PM, PDT.   Every 115 years or so the goddess of love gets between us and the Sun, giving herself a halo of fire.  Giving us a brief portal to an open heart.

And there’s more!  Take your finger out of the dike now because the dam bursts next week, flooding the information highway when Jupiter takes his cornucopia of plenty into loaded-with-ideas Gemini.  

It's not about keeping up (you can’t), it's about keeping sane!

Take a break Friday and Saturday with a sweet sense of well-being and compassionate connections with those you love.

The Force of lifting the veil is with you.
