			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Moon in VIRGO ~ Courtesy of Skybear Astrology<br />
By Larry Williamson<br />
New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting new seeds and setting intentions. The New Moon in Virgo will focus on issues related with health, healing, service and preparation. This New Moon makes a close conjunction to Saturn in Virgo. It’s never too late to pay homage to the virgin goddesses.</p>
<p>The woman who is virgin, one-in-herself, does what she does, not because of any desire to please, to be liked or approved, to catch his interest or love, but because what she does is true. She is what she is, because that is what she is. Virginity is a process of being true to oneself, and if one has not been true than virginity is renewable. It’s never too late to become a virgin!</p>
<p>Woman can renew their virginity, intactness and integrity through the rites of Aphrodite, where she would annually renew her virginity by bathing, cleansing and purifying herself by the sea. The value placed upon virginity is a man’s idea, and that’s how men and the patriarchy controlled woman. As if virginity was a wonderful thing in the first place.</p>
<p>The degree for the New Moon from Zodiacal Symbology reads: An antique temple of the muses built on a rock, over which flows an enchanting fall of clear sparking water. Denotes one who would seek the ideal in all things, even amidst war and destruction. One of a strange, happy, though wise philosophy of thought. It is a symbol of cultivation.</p>
<p>This is the best New Moon to take greater responsibility for our health physically, emotionally and spiritually. Its time to get serious about dietary changes, exercise routines and addressing medical issues we’ve been either denying, or putting off. Saturn is about commitment and Virgo represents the body. This is the right time to deal with our “inner critic” and attachment to perfectionism. There’s an indigenous saying that goes, is the good, true and beautiful in my nature as strong as the whispers of my demons and monsters?  We must answer yes to that on a daily basis.</p>
<p>This New Moon will energize the third of five oppositions on September 15th between Saturn and Uranus. These cycles often coincide to political, social and economic changes. The last opposition cycle was in the mid-1960s when the Civil rights movement, Vietnam War, Anti-War protests and the emergence of the Hippie revolution took center stage. Those with late degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) will feel it most intensely. Mercury, the ruler of Virgo squares Pluto on the 17th, suggesting that knowledge is power! Small issues can take on great importance. Your mind can probe beneath the surface. Secrets will be revealed.</p>
<p>The polarization between Saturn and Uranus becomes most visible during the town hall meetings on health care reform. We have those who are resistant (Saturn) to change, versus those who demand health care reform (Uranus). President Obama’s speech on September 9th will in many ways define his presidency. If he does not come out in favor for a strong public option he will lose the support of the progressives and unions who vow not to vote in the 2010 elections. This would be a huge victory for the right wing and the insurance industry. This seems to be a likely scenario in which case Obama will become one and done as president of the United States.</p>
<p>On September 19th, Mars conjuncts the lunar eclipse degree at 15 degrees of Cancer. Mars is only one degree plus off the Sun in Cancer, and square Saturn in Libra in the Sibily chart (USA). Heated debates, disruptions, fights and clashes with authority will continue at local town hall meetings over health care reform. The potential for domestic terrorism is a real threat. The president needs to be even more diligent over personal security issues; especially in light of gun advocates (Mars) carrying loaded firearms to town hall meetings. To be forewarned is forearmed!</p>
<p>The Sun, Moon Saturn in Virgo along with Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune in Aquarius the call for service resonates with us all. Be it service to our community, group, tribe, or extended social family. This is the medicine required to help restore our inter-connectedness with our universal and global family. In the words of Indian playwright and poet Rabindranath Tagore “ I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy”.<br />
“ Forget your perfect offering<br />
There’s a crack in everything,<br />
That’s how the light gets in”.</p>
<p>    ~ Leonard Cohen<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="2"></font><font size="2">Mercury appears retrograde 3 times a year for approximately 3 weeks at a time. Here&#8217;s the kicker ~ I attach a 3 week shadow on each side making it a 9 week period altogether.<br />
</font><font size="2">Not all of Mercury retrograde is negative, though. Yes, cell phones and computers can get glitchy; the light can come on in your car and you take it to the mechanic and nothing is wrong with it. ( I always tell people, unless it&#8217;s the break light or something important, wait until after the retrograde to get it checked because it just might fix itself!)ï¿½ Anything with communication and transportation can go haywire and if you&#8217;re a Gemini or a Virgo, ruled by Mercury, it can be even more frustrating.ï¿½ </font></p>
<p><font size="2">You must really be careful of what you say and how you say it.ï¿½ Words can be misconstrued.ï¿½ It&#8217;s also a bad time to start anything new or sign important contracts or documents.ï¿½ The exception can be someone who is born with Mercury retrogradeï¿½~ it does not affect them as much.ï¿½ </font><font size="2">So what can possibly be positive?ï¿½ Lots!ï¿½ Mercury retrograde is an excellent time to contact or hear from people from your past!ï¿½ Rather than solicit new clients, return to your sphere of influence.ï¿½ Reach out to someone you need to REconcile with.ï¿½ It&#8217;s an awesome time to REconnect.ï¿½ Go back and FINISH old projects so when the retrograde period is over you can begin new endeavors with a clean slate.ï¿½ It&#8217;s not the best time to get married but how about REmarried?ï¿½ Rather than plan a trip to some place new, why not REvisit a favorite destination? Different people have different opinions on traveling while Mercury is retrograde.ï¿½ If it can be avoided, it probably should.ï¿½ Some plans may have to be REscheduled.ï¿½ It&#8217;s almost impossible to hook up with new people but an excellent time to get together with old friends or plan a REunion!ï¿½ Just about anything you can put &#8220;RE&#8221; in front of works.ï¿½ Refurbish, redo, reconnect etc.ï¿½ The one exception can be remodeling.ï¿½ If it&#8217;s your first time doing it and contracts are involved, try and wait until after.ï¿½ Things will have to be REdone!ï¿½ </font></p>
<p><font size="2">Don&#8217;t go to a new agency, partner, or job if you can help it.ï¿½ Try to connect new endeavors with the past if that makes sense.ï¿½ Also, if you&#8217;ve had a dilemma you may now suddenly have an epiphany.ï¿½ If you&#8217;ve been waiting for something or someone to arrive it could happen now!ï¿½<br />
</font><font size="2">We all have the ability to focus on the positive and make the most of trying situations.ï¿½ Use your energy wisely and constructively.ï¿½ Rather than branching out in new directions, go down a tried and true path.ï¿½ Be patient and really cautious with the words you choose and use.ï¿½ Drive extra carefully. Take time to REview.ï¿½ Think before you take action as your mind (Mercury) could be playing tricks on you!ï¿½ Stay as focused as possible and don&#8217;t let it run your life.ï¿½ Did Mercury retrograde bother you BEFORE you knew about it?ï¿½ We must deal with the past before we head into the future!ï¿½ï¿½ ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Calibri">SEPTEMBER ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS ~ Featuring Virgo  </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">By Kerry Fezza 2009</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Some planetary notes this month:</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Mercury goes Retrograde on the 6th but truthfully it’s already in effect until October 14th.  I will resurrect my old blog next week on MRx to help remind everyone of the positive uses of that energy too!<br />
Pluto, the intense little planet ruling nuclear energy, goes direct on September 11th.  Another good reason to pay attention on that day!<br />
Saturn and Uranus will face off again on the 15th.  Look for matters pertaining to old vs new, conservatism vs socialism, conventional vs unconventional etc.  This same opposition took place in the mid 1960’s in exactly the same signs (only the planets were reversed)!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">The month of September should be interesting to say the least!!  And on a personal note….<br />
If you know your Rising/Ascendant sign and/or your Moon sign, read those forecasts too. Especially refer to your Rising sign for relationship issues.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Peace and Prosperity!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">VIRGO</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Happy New Year to the most meticulous, vital, and analytical sign of the Zodiac!  As hard working individuals you have really been through a lot these past several years. <br />
Last year’s focus was primarily on self improvement.  You should be feeling a strong sense of accomplishment as things finally start to manifest and your goals are achieved.  Patience and persistence pay off!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">As you build your own self worth, it will reflect in the people and circumstances you attract to you.  This may explain why relationships, romantic and platonic, remain unpredictable and reminiscent of the past.  You will be forced to repeat the circumstance until you learn the lesson.  It’s time to break old habits and not feel guilty about it.  You have worked hard to better yourself but you can’t change others behavior ~ only set an example.<br />
Romance is super passionate and fated.  Again, remember not to surrender your power.  Take control of how you want to be loved.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Because Mercury Retrogrades around your birthday, expect a lot of your past to crop up this year.  Not just old circumstances, but old friends, old lovers, old ideas etc.  It’s a great year to resurrect an old project left unfinished.  Perhaps your writers block will be lifted?  Sometimes we have to go back to the past in order to navigate the future.  Embrace the nostalgia but keep it in perspective!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Look for a breather and a big weight lifted off your shoulders as Saturn leaves your sign at the end of October.  It will dip back into Virgo in 2010 giving you an added opportunity to finish whatever was left undone.  It could also reinforce some cold, hard reality.  Rise to the challenge with your new found strength!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Resources may be tight the next 2 ½ years so watch your spending and look for wise, long term investments.  It’s a good time to downsize now that you know what is truly important to you.<br />
Work and health both need careful attention.  There is a tendency to excess and the temptation to day dream.  Some illnesses may be hard to diagnose.  Good thing you’re predisposed to alternative health.  You may be inclined to something with a more Spiritual/metaphysical twist.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Children are going through some intense times and are in a period of major change.  Set an example for them even though power struggles are possible.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Friends can be frisky, feisty, or antsy this month.  They may experience a little jealousy over your love life and arguments are possible.  Let them deal with their own anxiety.  You have more than enough on your plate!  Keep romance secret until the end of the month.  Then you’ll have plenty of love to share with everyone.  You’ll be looking and feeling good with a lot to look forward to!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">ARIES<br />
Your physical health and work sector is now a priority perhaps relating to all the changes going on in your psyche. Old issues can crop up the last half of September as you strive to complete earlier objectives.  Expect big shifts around your career and things to improve greatly after the 20th! <br />
There’s a strong focus on romance, fun, creativity, and/or children!  Arguments or struggles are possible around the home and family ~ you are passionate about both.<br />
Artistic, Spiritual souls continue to entertain your friendship zone!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">TAURUS<br />
Solidifying a romance and going over previous issues takes precedence this month.  And it could stir up some unpredictable behavior in your friends.  Enjoy lovers, children, and socializing after the 20th and let others deal with their ‘’stuff.’ <br />
Things should be rosy around the home and immediate family but just the opposite could occur with relatives and neighbors.  Communication is heated and accidents are possible so drive cautiously.<br />
Expect a big change around long distance, spiritual, publishing, or legal affairs.<br />
You continue to shine in your profession due to past creativity and ingenuity!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">GEMINI<br />
Things start to solidify around the home, family, and real estate this month as past efforts are realized.  The end of September especially highlights creativity, fun, and children.  It’s an excellent month for a block party or family reunion.  An internet romance is possible too!<br />
All this focus on domestic bliss can create unexpected upsets in your career as you continue to desire more freedom.  Don’t be reckless with your funds because of a desire to earn more.  Expect big alterations around joint finances.<br />
Keep up with your quest for Spiritual fulfillment and higher knowledge.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">CANCER<br />
You are on a roll this month so be aware of where you are headed! <br />
Communication, transportation, community, and family affairs are all highlighted with issues stemming from the past.  You’re very optimistic after the 20th! <br />
Your personal finances are good and you’ll be tempted to spend.  Joint ventures may appear rosier than they actually are so use caution there.  Expect a big change with partnerships.<br />
And continue to expect the unexpected around legal, spiritual, travel, publishing, and educational endeavors.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">LEO<br />
You’re still shining as you enter September.  You’ll have plenty of love, happiness, and good will to share! <br />
Finances are starting to ‘gel’ but a review is definitely in order the last half of the month when you’ll be really tempted to extravagance!  All joint endeavors remain unpredictable.<br />
Relationships continue to be painted with rose colored glasses.  Make sure you’re seeing your partner clearly and watch out for hidden jealousy or animosity.<br />
Major shifts around work and health can create anxiety.  Focus on your well being!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">LIBRA<br />
September favors friendships, groups, and socializing.  Reconnecting is highlighted until mid month when intuition takes precedence over conversation. <br />
Much is going on in your psyche as you wind up your year.  Take time to review the lessons you’ve learned and put things in perspective.  You may find yourself day dreaming after the 20th.   Expect a big change around the home or family.<br />
While things heat up around your career you’ll still feel restless in your day to day routine.  You’re hastiness could lead to accidents so watch out.<br />
Romance is nostalgic.  Situations may not appear as they really are.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">SCORPIO<br />
This month helps to solidify friendships.  The last half of September favors people from your past and lots of partying!  However, lovers and children remain unpredictable and could interfere with your social life.<br />
You shine in your profession and a raise is possible.  Watch out for arguments or struggles with legal, publishing, educational, Spiritual, or long distance affairs including travel.  Expect a big shift around your relatives, community, communication, or transportation endeavors.  Drive safely!<br />
A Spiritual retreat may be in order to recoup your serenity.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">SAGITTARIUS<br />
Professional endeavors are coming together and past efforts are being rewarded.  A bonus is possible after the 20th when you really shine!<br />
At the same time home, family, and real estate concerns remain unstable probably due to your restless nature.  You’re luckiest with legal, educational, publishing, Spiritual, and long distance affairs.<br />
Expect big alterations around your personal finances and arguments around joint expenditures are possible.  Fervor surrounds all partnerships!<br />
Use caution with communication and transportation endeavors.  If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">CAPRICORN<br />
Previous endeavors regarding legal, Spiritual, educational, publishing, or long distance affairs are taking shape now.  Things look very bright after the 20th!<br />
Methods of communication and transportation remain unpredictable though.  Stay alert.<br />
Take time to review your personal resources as you may perceive your finances to be better than they really are.  You’re most fortunate through others and joint ventures.<br />
Big changes taking place within the self can challenge partners.  Turn aggression into passion!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">AQUARIUS<br />
September is fortunate for partnerships.  All joint endeavors are becoming firmly established largely due to past efforts.  Look for a boost to shared income after the 20th.  Your own income remains erratic. <br />
Big changes in your psyche could impact your health and job.  Sudden illnesses and inflammations are possible around the breasts and stomach.  Behind the scenes jealousy might stir up problems at work.  Don’t be afraid to speak your mind.<br />
As you continue on your Spiritual and creative journey take time to review what you’ve already learned.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">PISCES<br />
This month focuses on relationships and establishing long term partnerships.  Past efforts are realized and things are very favorable after the 20th.  Children and lovers can be frisky or feisty or both.  Don’t let your impulsive behavior interfere. <br />
Sometimes you remain a mystery even to yourself!   Revisit your Spirituality and pay attention to dreams.  Your psychic ability is really high right now! <br />
Expect big transformations around your friendships.<br />
Work is fun and friendly this month!  The money should be flowing in and a romantic opportunity may present itself too!</font></p>

</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Yet another Eclipse!  Because I’ve written so much about Eclipses this summer I thought I would include this one with the horoscopes.  Please refer to my previous blogs for more info.                        </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri"><span />This Eclipse is the final one in the series affecting the 4 signs Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio.  These signs are wrapping up a 2 year cycle that should feel complete around November.       </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri"><span />Because this Eclipse occurs in the progressive sign of Aquarius, we can use alternative approaches to old problems and dilemmas.  Thinking outside the box, fits good here!  Remain open minded and keep your friends close for there is strength in the collective conscience.</font></p>
<p>LEO                                                                                                                                                                         </p>
<p>Happy Birthday to the most gregarious, generous, and extravagant sign of the Zodiac!                                           </p>
<p>You’ve been through a lot these past couple of years while fate has intervened to teach you some life lessons.  It was an important time for relationships of all kinds and there were probably major domestic adjustments too.  Rest assured, this year you’ll be picking up the pieces and putting them into place. </p>
<p>The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse this month continues to highlight your partnership sector.  Expect some changes here, especially if your partner is a female.  This Eclipse highlights the women in your life.                                                        <br />
Significant others are learning a lot right now either literally or figuratively.  Their growth and expansion is tied to their past and is part of their healing process.  Give them the space, freedom, and independence that you desire.  Leo’s have big shoulders and you’ll know when to let them cry on you!</p>
<p>Eclipses can also affect ones health and Leo’s really need to pay special attention to their physical bodies!  As stated last month your most vulnerable areas are the heart, spine, skin, bones, knees, and teeth.  Be as good to yourself as you are to everyone else!  And don’t let your ego get in the way of Doctors visits when needed!</p>
<p>Financially you’re still feeling the pinch of the economy and perhaps your own careless decisions.  You’ll start to feel the weight lift in November.  In the meantime be prepared for the unexpected especially where joint finances or investments are concerned!   This month is good for balancing the checkbook and any negotiations regarding your personal funds.  But don’t discuss with or lend money to pushy friends, as arguments could result.                                                                                                                                                     </p>
<p>This month favors income generated behind the scenes.  There is major transformation around your work area ~ perhaps the death of an old job freeing you up for a better opportunity?  Watch out for power struggles and confrontations.  It’s a new year for you ~ decide if you should move on…</p>
<p>Romance is down played this month or kept secret.  While it’s your time to enjoy the spotlight, there is also a part of you that requires privacy.  Take some time for introspection and share your love for others with yourself!</p>
<p>ARIES<br />
The Eclipse this month highlights your friendship sector and the females in your life who continue to grow on their spiritual path.                                                                                                                                                                         </p>
<p>Romance, children, and creativity are highlighted and things are rosy on the home front.   You could run into conflict with neighbors or siblings, also communication and transportation devices.                   <br />
Networking is favored around the work sector while big changes still surround the career.                              <br />
An alternative health approach can help physical ailments and help quell anxiety.</p>
<p><font face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri" /></font><font face="Calibri">TAURUS<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This month’s Eclipse is energizing your career sector.  Pay special attention if you work in real estate, interior design/home staging, home health care, the military, or the culinary arts.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You’re more inclined to be a homebody this month.  Love and happiness surrounds family and community.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Communication favors children and romantic endeavors.  Don’t let friend’s unpredictable behavior spoil any fun!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Watch your spending and be prepared for big changes around spirituality, legal, travel, publishing and educational concerns.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"></font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri"></font><font face="Calibri"></font><font face="Calibri">GEMINI<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">August Eclipse is stirring up old legal, travel, publishing, educational, and spiritual affairs.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">There’s a strong focus on communication, transportation, community, and family.  Networking from home is favored.  You are a bundle of energy right now!  Make sure you aim it in the right direction.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE, JULY 7, 2009 (15 Degrees CAPRICORN) ï¿½~ï¿½ï¿½ Relationships! ï¿½Resident Changes! Death of the old SELF, old ways, old habits!ï¿½ Hidden things coming to light! </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"></font><font face="Calibri">Full Moons are a time of culmination, when things come to a head or come to fruition.ï¿½ Full Moons occur when the Moon is directly opposite the Sun.ï¿½ï¿½ This full Moon in Capricorn, ruled by Saturn ~ hardships, delays, frugality ~ in the same sign as Retrograde Pluto ~ death, resurrection, transformation ~ is super charged as an Eclipse!ï¿½ Kick that energy up a couple notches!!ï¿½ </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"></font><font face="Calibri">The Lunar Eclipse tonight and the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on the 21<sup>st</sup> ushers in a new series in the signs of CANCER &#038; CAPRICORN.ï¿½ They will also be affecting ARIES &#038; LIBRA (The Cardinal Signs).ï¿½ Remember, if your Moon or Ascendant/Rising Sign is one of the above, you will experience these vibrations too! Eclipse energy is felt for a approximately 2 years.ï¿½ The power of this series started back in April.ï¿½ </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Because this Eclipse occurs in the same sign as Pluto, although theyï¿½re not that close, I think explains the rash of celebrity deaths.ï¿½ Only because theyï¿½re the ones we hear about.ï¿½ People may have pets or loved ones who have passed on recently too.ï¿½ It has a lot to do with transitioning to the next level and may be connected to the ascension process.ï¿½ Check out Karen Bishopï¿½s site ï¿½Whatï¿½s Up On Planet Earthï¿½.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Eclipses themselves can be associated with death.ï¿½ Not just the physical but the complete transformation of self.ï¿½ This is a year of change for everyone worldwide.ï¿½ We must adjust our lives where we feel the need or the Universe will do it for us.ï¿½ Much better to initiate your own makeover!!ï¿½ Letting go of outdated ways, thinking, and doing is not an easy process.ï¿½ï¿½ At least if you make the effort itï¿½s showing the Universe your trying and making forward progress, even if itï¿½s baby steps!ï¿½ You may want to start with cleaning out closets or a garage ~ great symbolism and a good use of this energy!</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Eclipses also play a large part in Relationships.ï¿½ They can definitely bring about the death of a long term partnership thatï¿½s way past its expiration date OR they can bring someone significant into your life!!ï¿½ If youï¿½ve been waiting for someone special or something serious, an Eclipse affecting your Sign can really bring things to you ~ Be careful what &#038; how you wish for it!ï¿½ Be really clear on your intent!</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Another affect Eclipses have on the above mentioned signs is MOVING or important changes around the residence.ï¿½ My husband &#038; I, both Aries, finally purchased a home in April after searching for many months.ï¿½ (Once the Eclipse energy started working on our sign, our offer was accepted after several rejections on prior properties.)ï¿½ Now as the Eclipse itself hits, weï¿½re working very hard on our new home!</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">I have also heard that Eclipses bring hidden things into the light.ï¿½ At the end of the Mutuable sign series several years ago, we learned that John Edwards (politician not Psychic), a Gemini, was having an ongoing affair while his wife battled breast cancer.ï¿½ It will be interesting to see what surprises this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn has in store?!?!ï¿½ So mind your Pï¿½s &#038; Qï¿½s and you wonï¿½t get caught!!</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Peace and Prosperity, Love and Laughter,</font></p>

<p>July is a big month with lots of planetary activity!!  Uranus turns retrograde on the 1st ~ Expect the unexpected for that week at least!  Surprises emanating from the past are in store until the end of the year.</p>
<p>There will also be two Eclipses this month.  A Lunar Eclipse on July 7th, and a Solar Eclipse on July 21st.  The signs most affected by these will be Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, and Libra.  If your Moon or Ascendant is any of those signs you can expect changes this summer two.  It may be time to transform your love life or your residence.</p>
<p>Change is all around us.  We need to embrace it in order to grow.  These are progressive times!<br />
 </p>
<p>CANCER                                                                                                                                                                     <br />
Happy Birthday to the most sensitive, familial, and nurturing sign of the Zodiac!  Hang on tight for a wild ride this year!!  You’re entering into a 2 year cycle of fate.  A lot of which will have to do with working out past karma.  Be prepared for surprises and be willing to adjust accordingly.    </p>
<p>                                              <br />
Since January, there’s been major transformation around partnerships and starting next month destiny will smile on all relationships.   You can expect a lot of passion!!  How that works itself out is up to you!  You’re drawing in people who are a lot more intense and persuasive.  Don’t surrender your personal power.  Remember what you attract and how you respond, is a direct reflection of yourself.  If you feel a loss of control in close personal situations, pull back and reflect on yourself.  You can’t alter others behavior but you can modify how you react.  The next few years will compel you to make dramatic alterations within yourself.  Circumstances will be very personal.                                        </p>
<p>The 1st half of your year may find you reflecting on your Spirituality.  Looking for higher guidance can really broaden your horizons both physically and metaphorically.  It may also provide some intuitive, inspirational guidance to help you through your current financial predicament.  Again, focus on your individual needs and let your partners manage their own affairs.  Don’t take on anyone’s drama!       </p>
<p>Joint finances, investments, and shared resources can pick up as early as mid October.  Pay attention to all money details the last half of July.  Not a bad time to ask for a raise either!             </p>
<p>                                                 <br />
You may also have unexpected opportunities to return to school, revisit a distant location, and revamp legal or publishing endeavors.  An unexpected, long distance message might lead to an inheritance.       </p>
<p>                                                                                                                        <br />
Communication itself is slow.  Choose your words carefully and sparingly, especially where family is concerned.  Neighbors or community members might pose a challenge to you this year.  So could internet connections.  Tried and true, slow and sure is the best way to handle all of the above.  Fate is working this sector too until the end of 2009.                    </p>
<p>If wanting to purchase a new car, invest in a Saturn!  Look for something fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.                                            <br />
 <br />
Pay attention to your dreams in July and dream big!  Love may be secret and passion kicks in after the 11th.  So might anxiety stemming from hidden animosity or jealousy.  Friends are touchy the first week or so.       </p>
<p>                                       <br />
This is your month to shine and until the 17th you can really get your voice across.  After that date the focus switches back to your finances and values.  Be true to yourself and you can’t go wrong!</p>
<p>ARIES<br />
Expect even more major transformation around your career, and also the home/family and real estate sector!!  There’s a strong focus here until mid month when your energy shifts to either lovers or children, both of which remain sensitive.<br />
Friends, too, are in a period of healing old hurts.  Your Spiritual inspiration can help you with past issues as much as it can help them.  Contacts are fated.<br />
Persevere with work and health endeavors.<br />
Your desire to create income continues until the 11th, then your passion surrounds family, community, and all forms of communication and transportation.  These areas are highly favored!</p>
<p>TAURUS<br />
Expect even more adjustment around legal, travel, spiritual, publishing, and educational affairs.  Also prepare to revolutionize your communication, transportation, and family sector, all of which are highlighted this month.<br />
Career endeavors are destined for peak success.  Don’t be disappointed if others feel they can’t measure up.  You may have to suddenly let go of some acquaintances now.<br />
Control your temper until the 11th, then focus your energy on your personal finances which should be very rosy this month!<br />
Romance, children, and creative endeavors all continue to develop ~ slowly but surely?</p>
<p>GEMINI<br />
Expect even more alterations around your financial sectors!  Finances are a hot topic the 1st half of the month and communication, transportation, family, and community the last half.<br />
Your home life supplies you with stability.  You’re establishing a solid personal foundation.<br />
Career surprises emanate from the past, as do legal, spiritual, educational, publishing, and long distance travel plans.  Sometimes you have to go back and heal ‘what was’ in order to prepare for the future.  Right now it’s part of your destiny!<br />
Anxiety should quell down after the 11th at which time you’ll feel as energized as others see you ~ really looking and feeling good!</p>
<p>LEO<br />
Expect even more reformations with your work and health!  Pay special attention the knees, bones, skin, and teeth, also the heart and spine.<br />
This month go ‘within’ and explore your subconscious where many changes are happening.  Be aware of the subliminal messages you’re sending, especially the 1st half of July.  The latter half puts the spot light on you!<br />
Personal finances are more stable but joint affairs are subject to past upsets and remain shaky.<br />
Relationships are still fated and a partner may need to lean on you for support.<br />
Passion surrounds friendships after the 11th, a very beneficial and social area!</p>
<p>VIRGO<br />
Expect even more changes around your lovers, children, and friends.  The focus is on your peers now but your attention will shift mid month to where you desire to keep things on the ‘down low’.<br />
Partnerships are shaky with unexpected surprises from the past cropping up.<br />
Health and work concerns require review.  Pay attention to your ankles and feet.  You’re reaching a pinnacle.  Much personal growth is helping you reach your goals, slowly but surely.  You can really profit in your career and your ambition is on fire after the 11th!  Lend a hand where needed.</p>
<p>LIBRA<br />
Expect even more transformation around your home and family sector.  And especially your career this month!  Communication and networking are highly favored.  You could make some fated connections the last half of June!  Steady progress is favored behind the scenes.<br />
Your work and health sector could unearth some revelations from the past.<br />
Lovers and children remain ‘on path’ but may need some extra counseling or TLC.<br />
Your desire for legal, foreign, travel, spiritual, educational, and publishing affairs picks up after the 11th when you’re done straightening out your joint finances.  You’re especially fortunate in the afore mentioned areas!</p>
<p>SCORPIO<br />
Expect even more alterations with communication, transportation, family, and community, and this month, legal, spiritual, foreign, travel, educational, and publishing affairs.  The latter half of June highlights career exchanges.<br />
Much older or younger friends can lend support as you deal with close, personal issues. Fate is leading you to the next big step in your life.<br />
Children and lovers remain unpredictable and you’ll be addressing old topics.  Arguments with partners can give way to passion after the 11th.  All joint endeavors are highly favored!</p>
<p>SAGITTARIUS<br />
Expect even more adjustments with your finances!  Communication benefits shared resources the first half of July, the latter highlights legal, educational, publishing, spiritual, travel, and long distance affairs.<br />
Old issues can upset home, family, and real estate matters.  But your place in the public spotlight is being solidified.<br />
You’re reaching an apex with communication, transportation, family, and community dealings.  It’s time to heal old hurts and embrace a more Spiritual perspective.<br />
Irritations with work and health should cease after the 11th when the drama shifts to partnerships.  This is a very fortunate month for all close personal relationships!</p>
<p>CAPRICORN<br />
Expect even more personal changes for yourself and also your partner(s)!  Your relationship sector is super charged with plenty of communication around all joint endeavors!<br />
You’re reaching the end of a long cycle regarding your finances. Past transactions and old habits may require some serious review or clean up.  It’s time to pay your dues.<br />
Legal, educational, publishing, foreign, travel, and Spiritual affairs are moving forward and gaining stability.<br />
Not so with communication, transportation, family, and community endeavors.  Old issues continue to ‘rock the boat’.<br />
Your ambition kicks in after the 11th, energizing your job sector.  Work and health are highly favorable this month!</p>
<p>AQUARIUS<br />
Expect even more transformation around your mental and physical health sectors.  Big things are happening deep in your psyche!  Also expect big changes around the work area, which favors communication the first half of July.  The second half focuses on partnerships.<br />
Joint finances are still sparse but more stable.  Your own money sector is suffering from past indiscretions.<br />
You’re reaching the peak of an important self growth cycle.  Take this time to heal the past and embrace your new found Spirituality!<br />
Frustration gives way to passion after the 11th.  This is a very romantic month!!</p>
<p>PISCES<br />
Expect even more changes with friends and social circles, also lovers, children, and creative pursuits. Your romance sector is energized highlighting communication the first half of July.  The second half focuses on your job sector.  There’s a lot going on behind the scenes.<br />
You’re destiny lies in a new Spiritual, creative perspective that can help heal old hurts.  You’re going through some profound adjustments that have to do with the past.  An older or younger partner can lend strength and stability.<br />
Bite your tongue until the 11th then get busy around the house and with family.  Home is where the heart is!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Larry Williamson ~ Skybear Astrology</p>
<p>New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting new seeds and of setting intentions. We are all familiar with the sign Cancer associated with the crab. However, my premise is that many of the attributes and meaning of the signs come from smaller star groups that surround the major constellations of the zodiac. Therefore, the meaning for the sign Cancer actually derives from the bear. Directly below the constellation of the crab is the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear.</p>
<p>The qualities and principles associated with Cancer such as nurturing, mothering and care taking comes from characteristics of the bear rather than the crab? Consider how the bear is about protection, nesting, maternal and loves food. Once again, the point I want to drive home is to understand that the meaning of the signs in the zodiac are influenced by other star groups and constellations near the region of the major constellations of the zodiac.</p>
<p>This New Moon is the second “Crisis Moon” of 2009 and the most powerful occurring so close to the Summer Solstice. The Crisis Moon is when the Moon is near its perigee (closest to earth) emotional and domestic issues become more intensified especially with the Moon in it’s own sign, Cancer. It’s not uncommon for those with the sign Cancer, the Moon, or 4th house strongly activated in their charts to be susceptible to Lunar Burnout! This is a form of a breakdown that happens when you’re called on to nurture others too much, for too long and you’re not doing enough to nurture and care for yourself. People who suppress or refuse to honor their own essential core needs, and subordinate their needs for the needs of others, are those who wind up emotionally burned out (Moon).  Cancer’s never know when to cut the cord and stop trying to nurture the world.</p>
<p>Cancer is a sign related to emotional memory. Cancer’s often think about the hurt or wounds of the past, rather than focusing on the joy of recovery. Holding on and clinging to the past is Cancer’s way of staying stuck in the womb, of self-preservation. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon reads: A MAN ON A MAGIC CARPET HOVERING OVER A LARGE AREA OF LAND. Keynote: The ability to expand one’s consciousness by stabilizing one’s point of view at a higher level.<br />
This is one of the best New Moon’s to work on home improvements or repairs. We can simply enhance our home life by spending quality time with family members and those we love. This is a favorable time to let go of old defensive mechanisms that could be detrimental to your emotional well-being and relationships with others. Learn to let go of old attachments and codependency that no longer serve you. Cancer is the sign of the home and family and unless you have a home that heals your spirit you will never heal!</p>
<p>This is one of the most challenging and intense New Moons of the year as it make a direct opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. Expect major changes and transformations in the area’s of the home, family, work, business and in the manufacturing and housing industry.</p>
<p>New beginnings and ending are the watchwords as old chapters in our lives come to a close, as that which supported us in the past is no longer viable. One of the most important lessons for Cancer’s is learning to let go of old attachments from the past. Pluto is a great attachment breaker and acts as a servant of wholeness.<br />
The triple conjunction between Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune continue, and are still in opposition to the asteroid Hygeia (goddess of medicine) in Sibily (USA) chart. Major health care reform is one of the most vital and contentious issues of the day. Jupiter turned retrograde on the 15th and will remain there until October 13th. Jupiter retrograde cycles are not the most conducive times to initiate big plans or objectives. On a personal level Jupiter retrograde will reveal inner truths and wisdom. Honor the inner teacher!<br />
Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune are still activating the Moon in Aquarius (masses) in the Sibily chart as we all prepare for a sea of change. The longing for a new American dream, a new vision is afoot! Venus and Mars reunite the week on the 15th after a two-month separation, both in the sign Taurus. Relationships of all kinds are energized and revitalized. This is an excellent time to cultivate our inner garden through sensuality, sexuality and pleasure. Saturn conjuncts Ceres in Virgo ~ take care of business and review quality control. Good time for business and pleasure.</p>
<p>This New Moon also activates Venus (money) in the Sibily chart and both are in direct opposition to transiting Pluto in Capricorn. The current financial crisis is still under going life support. This opposition between Venus and Pluto I feel serves as a powerful metaphor of the horrendous murder of Dr.George Tiller who was a late term abortion provider. Venus in Cancer the sign of the womb meets Pluto the annihilator in control, authoritative Capricorn. Scott Roeder the person accused of murdering Dr. Tiller has the Sun/Mercury conjunction in Pisces (martyr) both in opposition to his natal Pluto. On the day of the murder the triple conjunction in Aquarius between Jupiter. Chiron and Neptune (the wound of religious fanaticism) were squaring his natal Moon in Taurus. One of the comments Mr.Roeder made during his preliminary hearing to the judge why is everyone treating me like a murderer? Mr. Roeder: de-nial is not just a river in Egypt.</p>

By Kerry Fezza<br />
Astrologers note:  I use a solar chart beginning with 0 degrees of the Sun Sign on the Ascendant.  I then use equal house cusps, following with the next sign ~ 2<sup>nd</sup> House 0 Leo and so forth.<br />
I like to look at mundane events every three months, on the solstices and equinoxes to gage what our nation can potentially experience during that time.  However, you can also apply the info on a personal level. <br />
When we study astrology we are looking at how the different planets aspect each other and this chart has some uncanny aspects that are really tight by degree. <br />
The Sun at 0 degrees Cancer, in direct opposition to retrograde Pluto, signifies a nation in ongoing crisis.  In the Vernal Equinox chart Pluto was in the 10<sup>th</sup> house, still having us appear strong and powerful in the world’s eyes.  Now that Chiron is in the solar 10<sup>th</sup>, and Pluto is on the 7<sup>th</sup> house cusp, we are emerging as openly wounded making us vulnerable to attack from others who feel more powerful.  Pluto oppositions can also bring hidden things into the light.  We could be exposed from past deceptions and we may uncover a powerful plot against us.<br />
The Sun-Pluto opposition forms an out of sign T-square to Uranus in Pisces in the 9<sup>th</sup>.  Our foreign counter parts are in a period of instability too, especially in regards to religion/Spirituality, legal, educational, and oil/gas resources.  The chart’s ruler the Moon, conjunct Mercury in the 12<sup>th</sup>,  reminds us that any hidden agendas we might have can wind up hurting us and them.  We need to compromise and grow Spiritually to keep up with others.  A more open minded approach suggests possible financial aid with gas/oil supplies as evidenced with the exact conjunction of Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron in the 8<sup>th</sup> in Aquarius in an out of sign trine to the Sun and sextile to Pluto.  Because all three points are retrograde and in a tight funky aspect to Uranus, we must handle all foreign relations delicately. <br />
The same funky aspect exists between the Sun/Pluto opposition and the North and South nodes.  Both nodes straddle our financial sectors making tweaking the economy our #1 priority.  We are way out of our comfort zone and will need to think of new and different ways to boost our failing financial system.<br />
The most positive configuration falls in our house of allies.  We can derive much joy, pleasure, and perhaps economic aide from the Venus/Mars conjunction in the 11<sup>th</sup> ruled by Taurus.  The exact conjunction exactly trines Saturn in Virgo in the 3<sup>rd</sup>.  If we communicate honestly and effectively and work hard alongside our friends, we can make positive steps forward and benefit in the long term.<br />
<span />Factor in the USA (7 degrees) Gemini Rising Chart for a few notables!  All of a sudden S.S. 12<sup>th</sup> house Moon conjunct Mercury leaps into prominence!  They fall on the USA ascendant and USA Uranus exactly!  Expect the unexpected as we’re in for some big surprises!  May be even about our new President??<br />
Hidden things are bound to come to light any day now as the summer is riddled with eclipses.  These will mainly affect our financial sectors in both the Summer Solstice and USA charts.  I’ll be writing a separate blog next month that will give more details on the eclipses and what to expect!<br />
USA Mars falls in S.S. 12<sup>th</sup> reinforcing the notion of hidden enemies and secret aggression ~ whether it comes from internal or external forces.  It’s wide square to S.S. Uranus in the 9<sup>th</sup>, and wide trine to the Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron/USA Moon (18 Aquarius) stellium in S.S. 8<sup>th</sup>, strengthens the notion of unexpected foreign aggression but offers we might be able to buy our way out or perhaps strike a trade for services??<br />
USA Mars also squares S.S. Saturn in the 3<sup>rd</sup>, suggesting a communication breakdown or a delay in tactics.  S.S. Saturn is applying to a conjunction of USA Neptune, both in Virgo.  Again we must be very clear in what we say and how we say it.  (This will be even more important in the Autumnal Equinox chart.)  Any deceptions we generate can come back to bite us in the butt.  These 2 planets hooking up in the 3<sup>rd</sup>, also explains the media’s saturation with the ‘Go Green’ movement.  Saturn trine the Venus/Mars conjunction in the S.S. 11<sup>th</sup> house, offers us the opportunity to form important groups and follow other countries’ examples, making us more popular in the global community.<br />
The USA Cancer stellium falls in both charts 1<sup>st</sup> house conjunct S.S. Sun and opposing S.S. Pluto.  The Venus/Jupiter conjunction supports the notion of self love and optimism suggesting we can fight outward aggression through our strength of Unity.  We’re approaching our Solar Return (birthday) in a couple of weeks also, signifying new beginnings.  A positive approach will certainly benefit us in these trying times.  Let us not be our own worst enemy, but hold our heads high, work on our own growth, especially Spiritual, and embrace the change that will ultimately lead us to our higher purpose!<br />

<p><font face="Arial">Full Moons are when things come to a head or come to fruition.  Either way it&#8217;s usually lively!  And what could be more lively than a Full Moon in Sagittarius!?<br />
</font><font face="Arial">Sagittarius rules higher education, Religion, Law, Philosophy, and distant people, places, and things.  It is a fun, outgoing, and expansive sign.<br />
</font><font face="Arial">Jupiter is Sagittarius&#8217; ruling planet and currently resides in Aquarius ~ sign of the unusual, unconventional, higher minded, metaphysical, humanitarian, and inventive spirit!  Aquarius is all about friendships and groups.<br />
</font><font face="Arial">Given the two influences and the intensity of a Full Moon, one would expect a very social weekend.  You could be home cramming for finals but don&#8217;t be surprised if you&#8217;re interrupted by boisterous friends!<br />
</font><font face="Arial">There will probably be a lot of big year end parties on college campuses.  There could also be many Spiritual gatherings or church picnics this weekend.  Family reunions are favored too.  It&#8217;s a good time be active in your community and network, network, network.  A lot of socializing will probably be done over cocktails.  Sag&#8217;s love their wine!<br />
</font><font face="Arial">Sagittarians are usually very sports minded so there may be many sporting events this weekend (most likely followed by a big victory party!)<br />
</font><font face="Arial">Either way, this weekend should be a lot of fun.  The energy will be high and lively!  All physical activities are favored and there will be a lot of stimulating conversation with the Sun in quick, witty Gemini!<br />
</font><font face="Arial">Embrace this time to let loose and have a good time.  Branch outside of your comfort zone and try new things. Sagittarius does it big and bold!!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Calibri">JUNE ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS ~ Featuring Gemini!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">By Kerry Fezza 2009<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Neptune has turned retrograde and Jupiter will too on the 15<sup>th</sup>.  It’s an excellent time to ‘re’invest in your Spirituality or any artistic/creative endeavors.  Success may take a little longer in coming but keep at it.   This energy will be most intense for Pisces and Sagittarians.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">The Summer Solstice is on the 20/21<sup>st</sup>.  I’ll be preparing a separate blog on that.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Just a reminder, if you know your Rising &#038; Moon sign, read those too.  Especially refer to your Rising sign for relationship updates. </font><font face="Calibri"><br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">GEMINI<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Happy Birthday to the most social, multi-sided, and mercurial sign of the Zodiac! <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Never one to shy away from change, this year continues to have many surprises in the career department.  However, you should find yourself more grounded and stable in your home environment.  There still exists a push/pull dynamic between the two. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">As you develop your personal foundation, be it a new house or family situation, or maybe just committing to a lease or mortgage, you will find the inner strength and stability to make serious changes in your profession.  Ever more enlightened, you desire to work independently without the hassles of a regular schedule.  You may also be embracing new and different thought ideas that fall outside the mainstream.  You’ll not only want to incorporate your new wisdom into your livelihood, you’ll want to share it with the public as well!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This is an excellent year to advance your education, revisit your Spirituality, travel abroad, or study the laws of the Universe.  Continue to be open-minded and embrace all that is new and different.  Humanitarian efforts will be well rewarded.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your personal finances are highlighted towards the end of June.  Joint resources are in a period of major overhaul for a long time to come, but expect some forward progress to begin in August.  You’ll need to pay attention to your money and spending habits this year.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You’re passionate about anything shared, especially when it comes to partnerships.  Learn from your past and you may want to keep your romantic escapades on the ‘down low’.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Communication, networking, “buzzing” around and socializing are highly favored the last half of June and this is your month to shine!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This is a year to establish YOUR SELF so make the most of all opportunities!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">ARIES<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This month highlights finances, values, communication, transportation, community, and family. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your ambition and networking skills are super charged this month and you’ll benefit financially from both!!  Socializing still centers largely on Spirituality, education, and cultural pursuits. Friends can help you expand your intuition resulting in a mutual healing affect.  Expect people from your past to start reappearing.   There’s more secret surprises in store.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">While your career continues to undergo major changes, your work environment and daily routine will be much more stable and secure resulting in overall better health.  An office romance is possible too!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">TAURUS<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You’re finally ready to reveal your secrets and there’s plenty to talk about! <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">The last half of June you’ll be communicating about finances and values, the focus of this month.  Repeat success in your career is gained from past efforts and education. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Branching outside your comfort zone with friends affords you the opportunity to meet different and interesting people.  But do it ‘tried and true’ in the romance department.  This month offers more stability with lovers, children, and creative endeavors.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Unfortunately the same can’t be said for in-laws, and legal, travel, spiritual, educational, and publishing affairs.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Focus on your own needs and having a really good time!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">CANCER<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This month sees you desiring private time but still having lots of socializing opportunities.  The latter half of June might have you gossiping or sharing secrets!  Be straight forward in all your communication endeavors.  You can expect more stability here along with community, family, and transportation affairs.  Keep things short and sweet.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Expect the unexpected with legal, travel, spiritual, educational, and publishing concerns. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Partners continue in their own private, personal transformation.  While this affects any kind of relationship you can retreat to your subconscious and work on your inner self.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">LEO<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This month focuses on socializing and you can expect lot’s of communicating the last half.  Prior to then you’ll be networking around your career.  Your ambition and charm are on fire and you can win over many new friends and fans! <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your personal finances should be a lot more stable now as opposed to your joint resources which are still in store for surprises.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Don’t let major drama with health and work affect your relationships.  June is the month to reconnect spiritually, and heal old hurts ~ the bigger your actions the bigger your reward.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">VIRGO<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">June sees you enjoying some attention in the public spotlight!  This month favors your career and especially networking the last half.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You’re also passionate about legal, spiritual, and educational affairs.  It’s an excellent time for a long distance get away!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Partners continue to challenge you with their unpredictable ways.  While romance is passionate there’s also a lot of discord.  Change is in the air and can also apply to your children as power struggles take hold.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This is all part of your self growth cycle.  However, now you should be feeling more secure and sticking up for yourself!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">LIBRA<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your energy this month centers on long distance travel, legal, spiritual, educational, and publishing affairs, with a passionate emphasis on shared resources and intimacy.  Old lovers could reappear or forgotten issues around the afore mentioned topics could resurface.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Children need special care and attention too.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">There is still a lot of change, upheaval, or drama around the home and family.  Again, concerns are related to the past.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You are most solid and secure when you can hide away and build a foundation behind the scenes.  When it comes to hard work you want the freedom and independence to do things yourself!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Hang loose and get back in touch with your artistic side! <br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">SCORPIO<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">There is a strong emphasis this month on intimacy, investments, and inheritances.  Partnerships are on fire!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">It’s an excellent time to reach out and connect to family, especially those who are going through a rough patch.  Your challenge is not to get caught up in their drama! <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You continue to be lucky with real estate but watch for water problems.  Old contracts/contacts could reappear.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Children are unpredictable, yet inspiring.  Share your creativity with them and teach them new and different things.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Friendships are solidified.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">SAGITTARIUS<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This month celebrates partnerships!  You’re especially fortunate through work ambitions.  Communication favors both sectors.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your personal finances continue to need an overhaul.  Go back and figure out what’s not working, then let go of the drama.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Watch your words this month, notably with touch family members.  Appreciate that everyone is at a different level of their growth.  Others may challenge you to reevaluate your Spiritual goals.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">While your home life is exciting and unpredictable, you’ll find security in your career.  Things are starting to ‘gel’ and the rewards are not far off!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">CAPRICORN<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This is the month for passionate romance!  Don’t let personal drama spoil the fun.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> You have entered into a long self growth cycle that is stirring things up from deep in the past.  Embrace your core values to heal old wounds and find something to believe in.  You’re inspired by the people around you or internet connections.  Those from afar can really provide you with security.  Extended family members continue to surprise you. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">There’s also a strong focus on work and health this June.  Communication is favored the last half.  Your finances and spending habits require some serious review.  (Shopping is not good therapy!) <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You’re most stable with legal, educational, and publishing affairs.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">AQUARIUS<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">There’s a strong focus on romance, children, and creativity this month with communication favored the last half!   Expect a lot of passion, desire, and romance around the house too!  You’re definitely in the mood to party.  It can help lift your spirits as you battle with some old issues.  Introspection is highlighted now.  There’s a lot of deep stirrings within your subconscious perhaps related to past lives?!?<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Personal reflection can benefit all your relationships after a long my needs versus your needs cycle.  What you value is ever changing and you’re wise to honor your freedom where beliefs are concerned. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">While your personal finances remain unpredictable, your joint financial sector should be a lot more stable.  Hard work is starting to pay off!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">PISCES<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your focus this month is on your nearest and dearest!  Love can be found locally or on the internet and your heart is close to home.  Communication is excellent so speak your deepest desires!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">While you continue to relish your freedom and independence, partnerships take on a more committed tone.  Your significant others are experiencing more security bringing stability to the relationship.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Continue to pay attention to work and health concerns.  You’ll also want to lend a shoulder for  friends to cry on as they go through major changes.   Don’t get involved in their drama!!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You’re working on your own Spiritual concerns and rediscovering hidden parts of yourself.  Pay close attention to your dreams and intuition!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="2" /><font size="2">Mercury appears retrograde 3 times a year for approximately 3 weeks at a time. Here&#8217;s the kicker ~ I attach a 3 week shadow on each side making it a 9 week period altogether.<br />
</font></p>
<p><font size="2" /><font size="2">Not all of Mercury retrograde is negative, though. Yes, cell phones and computers can get glitchy; the light can come on in your car and you take it to the mechanic and nothing is wrong with it. ( I always tell people, unless it&#8217;s the break light or something important, wait until after the retrograde to get it checked because it just might fix itself!)  Anything with communication and transportation can go haywire and if you&#8217;re a Gemini or a Virgo, ruled by Mercury, it can be even more frustrating.  </font></p>
<p><font size="2" /><font size="2">You must really be careful of what you say and how you say it.  Words can be misconstrued.  It&#8217;s also a bad time to start anything new or sign important contracts or documents.  The exception can be someone who is born with Mercury retrograde ~ it does not affect them as much.  </font></p>
<p><font size="2" /><font size="2">So what can possibly be positive?  Lots!  Mercury retrograde is an excellent time to contact or hear from people from your past!  Rather than solicit new clients, return to your sphere of influence.  Reach out to someone you need to REconcile with.  It&#8217;s an awesome time to REconnect.  Go back and FINISH old projects so when the retrograde period is over you can begin new endeavors with a clean slate.</font><font size="2">  </font><font size="2">It&#8217;s not the best time to get married but how about REmarried?  Rather than plan a trip to some place new, why not REvisit a favorite destination? Different people have different opinions on traveling while Mercury is retrograde.  If it can be avoided, it probably should.  Some plans may have to be REscheduled.  It&#8217;s almost impossible to hook up with new people but an excellent time to get together with old friends or plan a REunion!  </font><font size="2">Just about anything you can put &#8220;RE&#8221; in front of works.  Refurbish, redo, reconnect etc.  The one exception can be remodeling.  If it&#8217;s your first time doing it and contracts are involved, try and wait until after.  Things will have to be REdone!  </font></p>
<p><font size="2" /><font size="2">Don&#8217;t go to a new agency, partner, or job if you can help it.  Try to connect new endeavors with the past if that makes sense.  Also, if you&#8217;ve had a dilemma you may now suddenly have an epiphany.  If you&#8217;ve been waiting for something or someone to arrive it could happen now! <br />
</font></p>
<p><font size="2" /><font size="2">We all have the ability to focus on the positive and make the most of trying situations.  Use your energy wisely and constructively.  Rather than branching out in new directions, go down a tried and true path.</font><font size="2">  Be patient and really cautious with the words you choose and use.  Drive extra carefully. Take time to REview.  Think before you take action as your mind (Mercury) could be playing tricks on you!  Stay as focused as possible and don&#8217;t let it run your life.  Did Mercury retrograde bother you BEFORE you knew about it? </font><font size="2"> </font><font size="2">We must deal with the past before we head into the future!</font><font size="2"> </font><font size="2"> </font><font size="2"> </font><font size="2"> </font><font size="2"> </font><font size="2"> </font><font size="2"> </font>

</font><font face="Calibri">By Kerry Fezza 2009<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Mercury goes retrograde from the 6<sup>th </sup>- 30<sup>th</sup> but if you include the ‘shadow’ periods like I do we’re already in it.  I will resurrect my Blog on Mercury Retrograde next week so you can see what it means to you.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Just a reminder, if you know your Rising &#038; Moon sign, read those too.  Especially refer to your Rising sign for relationship updates. </font><font face="Calibri"><br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">TAURUS<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Happy Birthday to the most patient, persistent, and poised sign of the Zodiac!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This year sees you destined for high profile success.  You have already reaped some of your rewards but things can really peak over the next few months!  You are very much in the public eye, especially if you’re involved in Education, Law, Publishing, Foreign Affairs, the Arts, or Spirituality. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You now have the opportunity to transform these areas.  As a result you could stir up some jealousy, mainly from hidden enemies who are intimidated by your new found power.  Hold on to your hard earned position and relish in your accomplishments! <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">One of your challenges this year, and particularly this month, is to reconnect with yourself and feel you are worthy of a starring role!  You are not done with all you can achieve but take time to enjoy what you’ve manifested through your own hard work and effort!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Don’t let loved ones discourage you from enjoying the spot light.  At the same time, you’ll have to work at maintaining family obligations.  Your inner conflict will be in finding the balance between work and home. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Because you are geared towards that which gives the most pleasure, your other push/pull dynamic lies between lovers, children, and play time versus the unpredictable nature of your friends.  Interesting people continue to inspire you as they pop in and out of your life!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Romance is more stable and you can make forward progress after the 15<sup>th</sup>.  Due to the fated nature of your love life at this time, affection may be a little more subdued. Your much younger or older lover may be looking to you for guidance or, alternatively, may be your anchor or stability now.  Passion takes place behind the scenes.  And secret affairs can really rock your world!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Whatever happens Taurus, this will be a year to remember!!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">ARIES<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Love, romance, passion, beauty, and self-reliance are all yours this month!  Make the most of opportunities! <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">There’s a strong focus on finances which will need review.  Mid month sees work endeavors finally get off the ground as you continue to revamp your career.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You’re extremely fortunate in group settings and through friends and co-workers.  Fate has you aligning with those who share your spiritual and artistic ideals as your own enlightenment unfolds.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You’re wrapping up issues with lovers and children and can learn from the past. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Expect some surprises from behind the scenes.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">GEMINI<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Pay attention to your intuition this month and dreams that have connections to the past.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Friendship and social activities abound and one friend could become a lover.  Network it!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">There is still a battle between your career and home life.  While your roots are strong, and become more secure mid month, your need for freedom and independence plays out on the job.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Extended family, neighbors, and on-line contacts are still touchy. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Vehicles may continue to need maintenance.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You can expect luck with long distance, educational, legal, spiritual, or artistic endeavors.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">CANCER<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">There’s a strong focus on reconnecting with friends and groups this month.  You are also a powerhouse in your career!  There is lots of excitement and popularity now!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your spiritual enlightenment can help reap big dividends in your shared resources sector.  You prosper in relationships but there is also huge transformation within unions or the partner themselves.  Own your own power and don’t give up control!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You’ll find more support through extended family and community after the 15<sup>th</sup>.   Communication may be slow and transportation issues should finally get worked out. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Continue to monitor your spending.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">LEO<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">May highlights your career and puts you in the spot light!  Past efforts can now be realized and you’ll continue to transform your profession.  Personal finances take a turn for the better mid month too.  Shared resources remain unstable.  Be mindful of jealousy and power plays.                                          </font><font face="Calibri">Dealing with your own issues has reflected nicely in your relationships.  You are extremely fortunate through others, especially those who share your worldly visions and artistry. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Love, romance, and passion await you in a faraway place!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">VIRGO<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This month highlights educational, legal, spiritual, travel, and publishing pursuits.  These areas will be under review or can benefit from past actions.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Months of hard work on the self (mind, body, or soul), can now bring you in sight of your goals!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Significant others, lovers, and children may continue to go through their own changes, but you will find more stability after the 15<sup>th</sup>.  Don’t let self doubt or childhood issues interfere with all your personal progress.  Be passionate!!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You’re most fortunate in your physical health, work, and joint financial endeavors.  It’s an excellent time to advance your education.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">LIBRA<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Love, romance, and partnership continue to dominate your world with a special emphasis on intimacy this month.  You want a total spiritual connection with your lovers, play mates, and children.  This is a very fortunate time for your offspring especially where education is concerned.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">The same might not hold true for family ties where jealousy and power struggles arise from the past.  Old financial issues can crop up, also.  </font><font face="Calibri">Let friends deal with their own ‘stuff’.  Be careful the company you keep.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You continue to crave freedom and independence in your work space.  Mid month you’ll no longer feel guilty for going it alone.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">SCORPIO<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your emphasis for May is on reconnecting with partners and relationships.  Love remains exciting yet unpredictable.  Children and pets are rather fickle too.  Hang loose in all matters of the heart.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">You benefit most through family.  Spiritual connection becomes very important.   Extended family, neighbors, and community ties are still prone to upheaval as old dramas prevail.  Fated friendships become firmly established after the 15<sup>th</sup>.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">While you remain uncertain about your career/life path, you’re definitely in ‘over drive’ at your job this month.  Plenty of energy and stamina can create big dividends! <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">It’s also an excellent time to work out!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">SAGITTARIUS<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This month finds you refocusing on your work and health.   Pay attention to the neck and throat. <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your finances remain in need of a major overhaul and may be as erratic as your home life.  Continue to be cautious with legal, publishing, educational, travel, and foreign affairs.  Hard work and effort related to career endeavors finally pays off mid month. You can expect big rewards related to community, family, communication, transportation, spiritual, and artistic activities.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your love life can take a dramatic turn in relation to the above also!  Romance and passion abound!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Children will be a source of pleasure and encouragement too.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">CAPRICORN<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Your love life heats up this month, perhaps with someone from your past!  It’s an excellent time to reconnect with lovers, children, and creative pursuits.  You’re rediscovering your own personal power and passion and this can certainly play out around the home!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Communication and transportation affairs remain unpredictable.  Use new insights to solve dilemmas.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">While joint finances and investments continue to be uncertain you are exceptionally fortunate in your own money affairs.  Anything related to legal, spiritual, travel, foreign, publishing, artistic, or educational activities should start to pay off after the 15<sup>th</sup>.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">AQUARIUS<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This month focuses on home, family, and real estate activities relating to the past.  <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Personal finances remain unstable yet shared resources become more secure mid month challenging you to step up to the plate! <br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Deep rooted obsessions in your psyche need to be dealt with.  Significant others are dealing with their own very karmic issues.  Learn from these people and situations to benefit your spiritual growth.  You are destined for great things now!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Passionate romance can be found on-line or in your neighborhood.   Get involved in community affairs!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">PISCES<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">This month highlights readdressing communication, transportation, community, and family affairs.  It’s an excellent time for a reunion and lots of local travel.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Even if you prefer to remain free spirited, relationships can take on a more committed tone mid month.  Things can finally move forward as your partner becomes more secure in themselves.  Romance has to relate to your personal values which will become a hot topic!<br />
</font><font face="Calibri">Stay strong in your faith and what you know to be true.  Don’t let friends or those in your everyday world interfere.  They have their own issues to work out.<br />
</font><font face="Calibri"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Calibri"></font><font face="Calibri"> APRIL’S ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS ~ Featuring Aries<br />
By Kerry Fezza 2009</font><font face="Calibri"></font><font face="Calibri">Venus returns to direct motion on April 17th.  Due to the ‘shadow’ period I still include the retrograde influence ~ meaning where love and money are concerned, there’s still ties to the past or past efforts.  It’s still an excellent time to re-connect!!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">ARIES<br />
Happy Birthday to the most energetic, aggressive, and enthusiastic sign of the zodiac!<br />
This year will see you reaching back and taking cues from your past as you manifest the future of your dreams!<br />
The sign Aries represents the self and this year is very much about self-improvement and retrospection.  You could be making big changes with your appearance and/or your health. Renewing that gym membership wouldn’t hurt.  Neither would reviewing your eating habits.  Your may have less than your usual amount of stamina, so yoga or martial arts might be preferred to vigorous work outs.  A more divine approach to exercise can quell any anxiety or frustration and benefit your spiritual enlightenment.  Pay attention to dreams and subconscious messages the 11th-24th.<br />
Your friends will play a large role in your life this year and contribute to your destiny. You’ll want to align yourself with those who share the same beliefs.  You may hook up with a new Spiritual group, or people who have an interest in law or publishing.   Foreign or unusual company is very possible or those who share your love of global culture.  Travel with groups or close friends is favored.   You’re also lucky with professional contacts.<br />
You could be resurrecting an old career and pursuing a lifelong desire.  Whatever you do will take a lot of hard work and determination.  You’ll want to feel passionate about and have control over your endeavors.  You make your biggest contribution behind the scenes.<br />
Things will begin to move forward the last half of the month.  At that time your focus switches to personal finances and values ~ both of which could use a review!<br />
2009 is geared towards success and accomplishment on a large scale.  Increased popularity and recognition can create jealousy.  Secret enemies can surprise you.  Pay no mind ~ they’re just cowards who don’t share your drive and ambition.  Own your own power!  You’ll have more energy towards the end of April and feel like your usual competitive self. <br />
Romance, children, and creative affairs are still stuck in the past.  Karmic issues and past life connections continue to test your self-growth.  You could definitely make a soul mate connection but it may be someone who has a lot of their own ‘stuff’  going on.  Close personal relationships will be a direct reflection of yourself.<br />
This can be a really spectacular year for you Aries if you take the time to put forth the effort ~<br />
Be careful what you wish for you because you just might get what you want!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">TAURUS<br />
April is a quiet time for reflecting on the past year while gearing up for your birthday!  Feel free to assert yourself after the 9th.<br />
You could enjoy a reunion with friends between the 11th and 24th.   There could also be a passionate encounter as there’s plenty of energy around the company you keep.  Just watch for arguments.  There’s also a lot of unpredictable energy here too!<br />
Reestablishing values with lovers, children, and creative projects continues to be a priority. <br />
Restoration of legal, spiritual, publishing, educational, and travel affairs is possible as well. <br />
You can’t go wrong in your career as you head towards the peak of success!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">GEMINI<br />
Your social life continues in high gear!  Between the 11th and 24th entertaining surrounds the career where you’re putting forth most of your efforts.  There’s a lot of thinking and planning behind the scenes.  You still desire to work independently and without restrictions.  Be careful not to put your foot in your mouth.<br />
You may want to hide from domestic issues the last week of April.  Old power and control struggles can crop up around joint finances.  You’re lucky through legal, educational, and publishing affairs.  Your sanctuary is your faith, your friends and maybe a far away vacation!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">CANCER<br />
April highlights your career and public image.  You’ve been enjoying the spotlight for awhile and may appreciate a loving, long distance get away, between the 11th and 24th.  Lots of unexpected passion awaits you on distant shores!  It’s an excellent time to reach out to friends.<br />
Partnerships require a huge revitalization.  <br />
Communication and transportation operations continue needing time, effort, and maybe even money.  You’re much more fortunate with shared resources, investments, and inheritances.  </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">LEO<br />
April favors long distance travel, education, law, publishing, spiritual affairs, and in-laws.  Communication efforts put you in the spotlight.<br />
Your ideal love is probably far away however things can get very romantic the 11th - 24th.  You’re most fortunate in all types of partnerships, particularly with those who share your beliefs.  This is a passionate month for you but watch for arguments over joint finances and shared resources.  You need to be really guarded with your own spending and may want to scrutinize that check book. <br />
Diligence also applies to taking care of your health.  Be good to you!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">VIRGO<br />
This month focuses on your shared resources sector.  Partnerships of all kind are spontaneous and passionate, especially the last week of April.  Cozy up to someone special the 11th-24th. <br />
Service is your calling and you continue to excel in that area.  Health is good and it’s an excellent time for self discovery and rehabilitation.  Your efforts can benefit your romantic relationships, your children, and you’re your social life ~ all of which are undergoing a major transformation.<br />
Legal, spiritual, publishing, educational, and long distance travel affairs are highlighted through communication and transportation.  </font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">LIBRA<br />
The theme of romance and relationships continues this month perhaps with someone old and someone new!  Things can get intense at the end of April so watch for arguments.  Communication favors all shared endeavors, especially finances.<br />
Don’t let friends concerns contribute to your own guilt and fears, this a great time for deep introspection and purging of past issues.  Learn to let go….<br />
Continue to work independently and think outside the box.  An overdue raise is possible the 11th-24th.<br />
Let children inspire you with their friendliness, free-spiritedness, and creativity!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">SCORPIO<br />
You’re working hard this month, either on the job or at the gym.  You’ll have more energy and feel rewarded toward the end of April.  Career efforts are still a struggle and friends just may not be there for you due to their own circumstances.<br />
Extended family, neighbors, or members of your community could be recreating dramas too.<br />
Focus on your inner self and spiritual well being.<br />
Right now your energy is being expended on your creativity, children, and/or love life.  Some may be testy but things can get really sweet the 11th-24th.  As always, expect the unexpected!<br />
Partnerships benefit from excellent communication and home is where you feel the most relaxed and in-tuned.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">SAGITTARIUS<br />
Party, party, party!  This is your month for love and fun.  Prepare to feel child like or spend time with children.  Romance gets hot ‘n heavy the last week of April.  Your creative genius is on fire too!<br />
Right now, watch for accidents around the home and put that extra energy to constructive use.  You could throw a party the 11th-24th?<br />
While communication, media, or the internet is your route to success, career and financial endeavors still need a major overhaul!  Pay special attention to legal, spiritual, educational, publishing, and affairs out of state.<br />
Relish in the company of those around you and continue to be an inspiration in your community!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">CAPRICORN<br />
Your focus is on your home, family, and/or real estate concerns this month.  Expect more productivity the last week of April.  Communication benefits children, romantic, and creative endeavors!<br />
You’re working on some really personal issues that can take you back to some dim places.  Old legal, spiritual, educational, publishing, and long distance concerns need attention.  At the same time, you have the potential to profit greatly in these areas!  You’re known for your strength and stamina so persevere!<br />
Be careful of accidents this month and bite your tongue where extended family members are concerned.  Stay open minded and expect something pleasant (like a family reunion?) the 11th-24th.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">AQUARIUS<br />
This month highlights all communication, transportation, family, and community affairs.  Watch for arguments or accidents the last week of the month.<br />
Your finances can get a boost the 11th- 24th yet things remain unpredictable here.  You’re very motivated to make strides with your personal income! <br />
Joint finances and partnerships still require much patience, perseverance, and understanding.  Significant others are dealing with some tough stuff which could be stirring things up in your own subconscious, as your much more susceptible to others feelings now.<br />
Focus on yourself and spiritual growth.  As you excel you’ll raise the vibration of those closest to you.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">PISCES<br />
You’re still fired up this month although now your attention is on finances and values.  Go ahead and pamper yourself the 11th-24th. <br />
Communication, transportation, community, and family affairs get a big boost after the 9th.<br />
Your friends or friendships are undergoing some major transformation.  This could be most evident in your work place.  Significant others are dealing with some hard issues too. <br />
Stay focused on your own accomplishments.  Teach them your talent for dreaming the biggest dreams and following their desires.  Rather than get involved, provide the inspiration!<br />
</font></p>

<p>Venus goes retrograde on the 6th but if you include the ‘shadow’ periods like I do, we’re already in it.  Venus retrograde can bring a past love back into your life ~ significantly for Aries,  Libra, Sagittarius, and Taurus.  It can sometimes be a ‘reversal’ of fortune so watch your pennies!  Like Mercury retrograde it has to do with re-doing, reviewing, and re-connecting.  Be careful initiating contracts/documents that involve large sums of money or starting significant projects.<br />
Just a reminder, if you know your Rising &#038; Moon sign, read those too.  Especially refer to your Rising sign for relationship updates. </p>
<p>PISCES<br />
Happy Birthday to the most enigmatic, charismatic, artistic, and empathetic sign of the Zodiac!<br />
You’re continuing in a long period of spiritual enlightenment or “psychic” awakening ~ A better alternative to denial which can foster addiction.  Your subconscious is dealing with old hurts by opening up your psyche! Pay attention to visions as they will guide you to your destiny.  Your natural intuition has the ability to expand beyond your deepest dreams this year. <br />
You’re spreading your wings on all different levels and will want the freedom to explore new horizons.  This may entail using unusual or unconventional means ~ thinking outside the box!  Mid month sees you with more energy  and stamina to test your limits.<br />
Your desire for independence, mind, body, and soul, can pose a challenge for partners or those closest to you.  Significant others are dealing with their own issues but in much more traditional and conservative ways. They are in a period of retrospection and self-growth.  As a result, they may seem emotionally unavailable.  It’s just two different mind sets and life style perspectives this year. <br />

<p>HAPPY NEW YEAR ~ Again!  Yes, now we’re off to a running start with the New Moon Solar Eclipse (Please see my separate blog for more info).  January was a good month to catch up on all unfinished projects from 2008 and you should be ready to roll in February with your wish list or manifestation board.<br />
Just a reminder, if you know your Rising &#038; Moon sign, read those too.  Especially refer to your Rising sign for relationship updates.</p>
<p>AQUARIUS<br />
Happy birthday to the most enlightened, free-spirited, and intelligent sign of the zodiac!  Your new year starts with a bang as the new moon solar eclipse occurred in Aquarius ~ now there’s some inspiration!  You’re also lucky to have Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion, in your sign this year.  You are beginning a 12 year cycle that could include furthering your education, enhancing your Spirituality, expanding overseas, or developing an interest in law or publishing.  Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to make it happen!<br />
This month you’ll have the extra energy, drive, and ambition to accomplish great things which will have an influence on the rest of your life.  As you raise your own vibration you exalt those closest to you!<br />
Partnerships always mirror your own self image.  Important relationships could be made or broken depending on others ability to expand along with you or wallow in the past.   You’re continuing to use your talents and creativity to heal past wounds and you’ll be attracting more dynamic souls who can keep up with you.<br />
Be watchful for powerful enemies who lurk in the shadows.  People who don’t have the motivation to succeed often sit around and stew in jealousy.  You are more than able to outwit them!<br />
Mid month as your intellect kicks into overdrive, your focus switches to income and values.   This area remains unpredictable but due to your innovative ideas shouldn’t suffer too much.  Your partner or sector of shared resources should offer some stability although past matters involving taxes, estates, inheritances, or investments needs recycling now.  This can challenge your need for freedom and independence.<br />
Your psyche is starting a long cycle of retrospection.  Deep rooted concerns from the past can reveal profound insights.  Issues need to be dealt with and purged.  This should offset health problems.<br />

Take control of your career, and go for the gold! </p>
<p>TAURUS<br />
Your imagination runs wild this month and you may embark on a secret affair.  Luck comes from behind the scenes although your popularity is on the world stage.  Put your drive and desire into manifesting your career goals, and shine, shine, shine!<br />
New and interesting people continue to show up in your friendship sector to enlighten and surprise you!  Go with it and let go of old social and romantic attachments that aren’t for your greatest and highest good.  Some public jealousy or adversity is possible, and issues still exist on the home front. <br />
Own your personal power with legal, travel, publishing, educational, and spiritual affairs. </p>
<p>GEMINI<br />
Long distance, travel, spiritual, legal, educational, and/or publishing endeavors continue to change your life and alter your destiny.  Your good fortune can benefit others world-wide. <br />
Your wish to remain free, independent, and open minded can pose challenges on the home front.  Old issues can resurface with family, community, transportation and communication.  (This can include real estate affairs too.)  Take care with what you say, and how you say it.  Power struggles may occur over joint affairs but your passion knows no bounds! <br />
Love and luck surrounds friendships, goals, hopes, and wishes.  Expect lots of social invitations!</p>
<p>CANCER<br />

There’s a push/pull dynamic between needing the security of family and community, and wanting to go out and discover new horizons.  You’re in a period of enlightenment, requiring more freedom and independence to boldly venture forward.</p>
<p>LEO<br />
This month is all about partnerships and there may be more than one!  But that could be personal and professional.  This sector is on fire with destiny guiding you towards your dreams.  The key to personal fulfillment is in letting go of old issues.  You may be reworking your entire value system and looking at relationships in a more open minded, perhaps unconventional way.  You definitely require space and freedom with shared resources and passion.<br />
Love blooms this month on distant shores.  You’re also lucky with legal, educational, spiritual, travel, and publishing affairs.<br />
Be true to yourself and take control of health, work, and everyday concerns.</p>
<p>VIRGO<br />
Good thing you like your work because that’s where most of the action is this month!  The time is now to pursue your goals and dreams! <br />

Romance and friendships continue to challenge each other.  Don’t let others attachment to old, conservative ways dampen your independent nature or creativity.</p>
<p>SAGITTARIUS<br />

<p>HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yes, it is definitely time for new beginnings. Yet, with the Mercury Retrograde this month we have to revisit our past in order to build anew. (Please see my article on Mercury Retrograde for more info.)<br />
A lot of this year might seem like we’re going back, one last time, to finally put things to rest. This is so we can start fresh with a clean slate!</p>
<p>2009 adds up to the number 11 ~ a very karmic year with mystical potentials. 11 adds up to the number 2, making this a year of relationships. You’ll see a lot of weddings this year, as in the year 2000.  <br />
This year Jupiter ~ the planet of luck, abundance and optimism, enters Aquarius ~ the sign of friendship, humanity, hopes, and wishes.  It favors an unconventional approach!  So think outside the box this year and reach out to others! One of my favorite sayings:</p>
<p>&#8220;If you want something you never had, do something you&#8217;ve never done!&#8221;</p>
<p>Call me toll free, anywhere in the world, 1-866-395-1340, for a Reading so you can know what special gifts 2009 has in store for you!</p>
<p>Love, luck, peace, and prosperity,</p>
<p>Kerry:)</p>
<p>CAPRICORN<br />
Happy Birthday to the most sensible, cautious, and ambitious sign of the zodiac! You appreciate time is always on your side. Your patient nature will benefit you as you’re embarking on a 15 year cycle of personal transformation. Think of it like a butterfly getting ready to morph from its cocoon.<br />
The spotlight is on you until the 20th when the focus shifts to your personal finances and values which you’ll be reviewing up until that date. There’s a lot going on here! You continue to wrestle with your spending habits and may have learned some hard lessons. Revert back to your frugal nature but feel free to invest in anything creative, artistic, spiritual, water, oil, gas, or entertainment related. Destiny favors your money over your partners or shared resources. Your joint financial sector needs careful scrutiny.<br />
Positively, expect more income this year and a much brighter financial picture. You can benefit through legal, spiritual, travel, publishing, or education endeavors although things may seem to move slowly. Long distance travel is not favored unless it’s for work.<br />
Communication, transportation, family, and community affairs flow smoothly, and are in harmony with your personality this month. Your energy is high and those close to you might feel sparks shooting out from you! You could be in store for some pleasant surprises ~ continue to expect the unexpected here as this area remains unpredictable.<br />
Your mind is expanding in all sorts of new and different directions. You’re in a period of extreme enlightment and may run into opposition from those who live afar, especially in-laws. As you expand from your own conservative conscience, those who are more traditional may question your independent thought and new age ideas. It’s time to reassess those ties.<br />
The intense, powerful, and deep changes you’re experiencing will have a profound effect on all your relationships. You desire a very nurturing, domestic partner to counter balance your ambitious nature. Reward their loyalty by being open and honest about all you’re going through. The same goes for your children and pets.<br />
For singles, January is very positive for meeting someone in the neighborhood, at a social gathering, or online.<br />
Use your energy wisely this month to get your year off to a running start!</p>
<p>ARIES<br />
The focus is on your career and life path now. Powerful changes are forcing you in a different direction. Look to the past for direction. What is it you truly desire? This is your year to manifest your hopes and wishes! Align yourself with friends who can enrich your life and share your spiritual values! You’re exceptionally lucky in 2009, if you let fate guide you.<br />
Don’t get in your own way where your public image is concerned. Instead use your energy productively. You shine behind the scenes this month.<br />
As you broaden your mental horizons you may run into opposition from those not as enlightened as you. Past issues could rear up again at work or around your health. Take care of knees, bones, skin, and teeth. And take time to meditate.</p>
<p>TAURUS<br />
This is an excellent month for friendships and manifesting your goals. Unexpected good fortune is possible, especially in regards to long distance travel, spiritual, educational, legal, and publishing affairs which dominate your month. Own your own power here rather than letting a hot temper get the better of you. Jealousy is a wasted emotion. Some of these areas will need to be re-addressed after the 20th.<br />
Until that date re-evaluate your career endeavors. You can expect great fortune here this year and really shine in the public spot light. Let destiny guide you!<br />
Opposition can arise in the romance department or with children over old issues. Look to friends for guidance.</p>
<p>GEMINI<br />
You sure are one of those signs that could use a new year! This year favors long distance travel, legal, educational, publishing, and more spiritual endeavors. Look backwards in order to move forward. Then let fate lead you to fortune!<br />
More positive changes are in store around partnerships. Expect more passion now but don’t argue over money this month. After the 20th you’ll get a breather in your shared resources sector but some things will need to be revised.<br />
You should benefit financially through career endeavors. You wear a starring role very well. Some unexpected perks are possible this month but those at home may feel left out in the cold. You’ll need to reassure family that they’re still valuable in your life.</p>
<p>CANCER<br />
This month highlights all relationships. Your partner’s desire can be overwhelming at times. Try not to fight! Reaffirm commitments after the 20th.<br />
Until that date focus on joint finances and shared resources. Destiny runs into luck this year and you can expect an increase in abundance!<br />
Pleasant surprises are in store, most likely through partnerships, in regards to legal, educational, publishing, spiritual, and travel affairs. Love can bloom on distant shores.<br />
You could be challenged by old communication, transportation, or family problems that crop back up. Don’t let it ruin a good time!</p>
<p>LEO<br />
Love can come unexpectedly this month and may be just as fleeting. This year is huge for partnerships! Fate is guiding you to your soul mate. Existing relationships can expand with an enhanced spiritual connection and much good feeling! Nostalgia could play a role up to the 20th.<br />
At that date you’ll have to re-address work and health concerns which are both highlighted and aggravated this month and really need special attention. Try not to be overly aggressive.<br />
An unexpected bonus may be in store for you! That would certainly benefit your shaky financial affairs. Your personal finances are in for a major overhaul. It’s time to bite the bullet! Look to your significant others for guidance.</p>
<p>VIRGO<br />
It’s all about romance and partnership this month ~ expect the unexpected! Passion is high but arguments are also possible (as with children). Your creative energy could stir up some jealousy in social settings. Be careful whose toes you step on, on the dance floor! Concentrate on your self esteem and breaking old habits that interfere with relationships. Someone from the past could play a role after the 20th.<br />

<p>LIBRA<br />
There’s a lot going on this month with family, home, or real estate. You are beginning some deep, profound personal changes that could stir up animosity in loved ones. They may be jealous of your independence or not know how to handle your straightforwardness.<br />
Exercise and pleasant surprises at work can help relieve tension. Your imagination is rewarding now. Old problems will need to be addressed after the 20th.<br />
Prior to that you might be dealing with an old love interest, and romance is favored after that date. Actually, this is your lucky year for love, children, and creative endeavors. More than one romance might be in store. Let destiny guide you!<br />
Don’t let issues with friends or a guilty conscience get in the way of your happiness. Deal with past issues, then let them go!</p>
<p>SCORPIO<br />
There is a strong focus this month on family, community, transportation, and communication. Be careful of arguments and accidents and tie up loose ends once and for all.<br />
You’re highly passionate nature is pulling up some profound thoughts and you might be tempted to blurt them out. This could actually serve you well in the romance department and be prepared for a few surprises yourself! Don’t let old issues with friends dampen your love life, social life, or time spent with children.<br />
Luck and abundance surrounds your home and/or real estate endeavors. You’ll be feeling internally optimistic. Don’t worry so much about how the world sees you ~ let fate take care of your basic needs!</p>
<p>SAGITTARIUS<br />
It’s all about money now. There’s more than post holiday expenditures that need your attention. You’re very motivated to earn, just careful not to step on any toes! A review is in order after the 20th.<br />

Until the 20th, review the past then release it to your subconscious where there is much going on. Take time for your mental health. This month could present some anxiety as you embark on a long odessy of deep transformation within the mind. Beware of subliminal signals you send out because they could stir up some jealousy or animosity from hidden enemies. Use this invisible power to connect with your deepest desires. It may help you now to explore new values.<br />
This is also an excellent month for finances although they remain unpredictable. Don’t take on others financial burdens. Learn from past lessons.</p>
<p>PISCES<br />
Naturally charismatic this is really your month to shine and surprise others with your affection! Some friends may respond a little more romantically than you intended and you could also stir up some jealousy within your group.<br />
Big changes are taking place with your peers. If you try to help, you could get caught in the middle and arguments are possible. Old problems can arise after the 20th.<br />
