On how she came to astrology, Michelle said, “I’m so often asked how I got to be where I am today – you know, an astrologer tugging folks back onto their path. The answer is that I’ve been fascinated by astrology since I was kid – and had no real access to it growing up as the daughter of a United Methodist Minister. As I got older I studied voraciously for many years, and I still study every day! I’m unwaveringly passionate about helping people see their lives in a brighter light – helping them through the rough patches. I’ve always been the one who everyone comes to with their troubles – because I believe in them and know they can do better – live happier! Yet, there have been times when I wanted to be seen differently, so I moved onto different career paths. But every time I’ve tried to do something else, I end up right back here! I LOVE it! This is my calling – absolutely what I am meant to do with my life. So, where else could I be?”

Here’s the quick shake out for your Saturday, June 11, 2016 (Eastern Time.)
(I’m having a bit of fun with this one!)
Stay in bed until about 9am because the Moon in Virgo is in opposition to Neptune in Pisces, and all we really want to do is dream and fantasize anyway. Tell yourself that it’s ok to stay in bed, because the Virgo piece of this equation might feel guilty… a nice compromise would be to lay in bed in your half sleep, analyzing and making plans. 🙂
Then get up about 10am and really get down to weekend chores quickly to use the practical, get it done energy of the Moon squaring Saturn in Sagittarius – if you don’t get down to work, then you might just feel stuck and end up procrastinating (or feeling sorry for yourself.) The Moon isn’t only squaring Saturn… it’s also opposing Neptune. So there could be a bit of a quandary about whether to get something done, or whether to wallow a bit longer. Push, pull. Push, pull. Don’t use the energy that way! Best case scenario, do a lovely meditation, or sit outside in Nature to get centered, and THEN get down to business.
As the moon moves away from the Saturn/Neptune energy, make some afternoon plans for about 2pm, because just after that Luna gets a lot happier when she connects with Jupiter… shake off the dreams of the morning and all those chores (or the wishing that you’d actually done them) and just do something that makes you feel really good. Be social… Venus is still connected to the Sun today.
After a nice big dinner, get cozy in your hidey hole and do some deep pondering, or even some research, about what you want your future to hold. The Moon is conjuncting the North Node and making a trine to Pluto, so dig deep, tell yourself the truth, and lean into your purpose. If you think something in your immediate vicinity is holding you back… throw it away! This can be literal, emotional, or metaphorical, but when Pluto is tapping at our emotions, he likes us to purge. And ponder. And go about the business of evolving…
And if you’re sharing your evening with another, expect emotions to run deeply – and maybe even passionately.
During the morning hours, due to an uncomfortable angle between the Moon and Pluto (quincunx), there could be some adjustments that must be made in an emotional situation… the need to control something could be pretty strong, but look deeply at your motivations and see where you can shift a little to create a more comfortable atmosphere. As we move into the afternoon there are some super pleasant energies available today via Venus and the Sun in Gemini being intimately close (conjunction – we can see this as the beginning of the birth of Venus as she transitions into her new phase as the evening star), and the Moon reaching out to both of them (sextile) from Leo for possible social time with an intellectual bent – or maybe just a gossipy one. 🙂 These combinations create an emphasis on our vitality being impacted by beauty and relationship, our values coming to the fore in a prominent role, and connecting with others emotionally for companionable or even playful gatherings. There could be some creative tension possible with Mercury (the way we communicate) in Taurus moving into opposition with Mars (the way we take action to get what we want) in Scorpio, but the key is to be willing to go deeply into an issue without manipulating your opponent or refusing to budge in an opinion. Allow your peers and companions time to process rather than pushing for resolution. During the evening things may get a little more exciting – and whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing will mostly depend on how willing you are to let go and flow. The Moon will contact Uranus (trine), with Venus heading toward a connection with him as well (sextile), so be prepared to step outside the norm so that you can move with this often unusual and fluctuating energy. And make it fun! If your schedule unexpectedly shifts outside your comfort zone, move with the current and see where you land. It could be eye opening!
Every birth chart, every session, is a meeting of Cosmos and story.
These words come from the luminous people who’ve stepped into that dialogue with me – each one discovering their own rhythm, their own dance, and their own sparkle through the lens of astrology.
May their stories inspire you to listen to your own heartbeat, to trust your timing, and to meet your life as the magical light it already is.

🌸 “A powerful force for good in this world”
“Michelle is a beautiful friend and mentor. As a master astrologer, she has helped me to see my life as the unique, messy, and wonderful adventure that it can be. As a therapist, she has gently and intuitively guided me into making better decisions, despite my stubborn resistance. With Michelle’s help, I have had the courage to start a new business, improve my family relationships, and finally let go of a destructive, twenty-year long alcohol addiction, something that seemed utterly impossible. Michelle is in tune with the magic of the universe, and she is a powerful force for good in this world!”
–Joan Bacot

🌟 “Feeling I’m a part of a great mystery that is infinite in its reaches”
“I cannot tell you how much I have gotten out of my many, many consultations with Michelle! I first went to her when my daughter and I were in our most difficult stage EVER and I got so much clarity from Michelle on our relationship that the months-long challenge seemed to dissolve almost immediately. Michelle is not into trying to predict your future – it is surprisingly scientific and you will be amazed at what riddles she can help you solve. Always – ALWAYS – I come away from a session with Michelle feeling inspired and calmer, and that I am a part of a great mystery that is infinite in its reaches. And THAT brings me a smile and a sense of peace like you won’t believe! Expect to be shocked at how this total stranger understands your deep emotional complexities (and those of your kids’/husbands’/wives’/biz partners’) AND gives you concrete tools to transcend the icky parts! Really.”

✨ “Illuminated from within”
“Thanks for another great session! I can’t tell you how light I feel after talking with you each time – just illuminated from within, and happy! Like I had walked outside and got to watch the bees in the sunny garden. Or something equally as joyful to me. I love these consultations with you, and find them SO very valuable and life-changing (!!!)… I can’t well-describe, the part of just feeling bathed in love; I don’t know whether it’s from having touched deep truths and feeling validated and explained, or whether it’s from talking with you, who seem so bright and genuine. But there is a sure bliss after we hang up! Then starts the integration of things we discussed…”
–J. James

🌻 “I am a better me”
“I’d heard Michelle was an amazing astrologer/counselor from a friend who recommended I have a session with her. I thought it would be fun and interesting to have a chat. That was about 6 months ago. Little did I know then how my life would change for the better as a result. What started as a one session curiosity has become a regular counseling session every two weeks. I prioritize my sessions with Michelle. Even when things get tough financially I keep my sessions with her…not just because she can read charts, but because I see and deeply feel results. I am a better me. We peel the layers of the onion, getting at deep issues and addressing them. I am in awe of this woman and how she works…and how amazing I feel as a result of working with her. She listens…interprets…asks…sees…she truly works WITH me to help me with my questions. She utilizes her knowledge and depth of experience with astrology, combines it with her sense of humor, her curiosity, and her solid desire to be there for her clients. Does she provide value in one session? YES! But I believe the real value is in working with her over time…as I have and continue to do…as the planets move and the issues change…as she gets to know you and your birth chart and how the transits affect YOU. She wants to help you grow…learn…understand…address things…love yourself! She is my mentor and my counselor and I LOVE working with her…and soooo appreciate the person I am becoming as a result of better understanding my patterns and finding balance. Thank you Michelle! I am freer…I more thoroughly enjoy myself and my relationships, and the circumstances I face every day. Life is smoother. I am softer. Thank you thank you. I’m looking forward to our next chat.”
–Verena von Dehn

🌈 “Counseling that is fun”
“Who knew that counseling could be fun?! The best part of doing ongoing work with Michelle Gregg is that she uses the planets to make space for growth. In just about every session, she holds me accountable (and we don’t have to blame my mother!), makes me laugh at circumstances out of my control, and helps me to navigate the challenges of the present. She lets me wander out into the weeds sometimes, but then, by teaching me how to see a path where I thought there was no way, she opens doors to opportunities I had long written off. With Michelle’s insights, I get to dance between the wholeness and brokenness of yesterday while celebrating the fullness of tomorrow. For me, engaging in a long term relationship with Michelle means waking up to a brighter, more hopeful day each and every morning.”
–Corinne Dedini

🌿 “True empowerment to affect changes”
“Michelle has the profound gift to take you on a journey to discover and understand the landscape of your internal world that affects every aspects of your external one. This knowledge gives you the true empowerment to affect changes in your life. I have learned in working with Michelle over a period of time that the depth of understanding the self, translates into my ability to respond to the internal or external obstacles I am faced with in a way that creates breakthroughs from my negative habitual patterns with the most lasting positive effects in my life.”
–Dominique Sire
💫
🌙 “I found what I was looking for”
“Michelle is an extraordinary talent, combining an extensive knowledge of the humanities, Jungian psychology, and classical astrology into a unique approach that helps you find your place in your own life as well as the world at large. I flirted with therapists for it seems like forever, and never really found what I was looking for until I started working with Michelle on a regular basis…”
–Michael Brandt
💫
⭐ “Life runs smoother and in a more balanced fashion”
“Working with Michelle regularly over this past year has helped me to understand and work with the astrological cycles and energy patterns so that my life runs smoother and in a more balanced fashion. I have experienced tremendous personal growth during this time as well and I owe it all to my regular sessions with Michelle. I’m less stressed and much more prepared for what life has in store for me.”
–Laura Halpin

💝 “Mind and heart”
“Michelle is that invaluable breed of astrologer who thoroughly combines mind and heart. Her compassion is easily evidenced through her knowledge, and her astro-skill shines through her passion for growth and transformation.”
–Adam Gainsburg Astrologer and Founder of Soul Sign Astrology
💫
🎯 “Clarity I’d been seeking for years”
“My first reading with Michelle helped me get clear on issues I’d been trying to wrap my head around in therapy for years. More recently, she helped me to shift my perspective around my skills and talents to a wider view, allowing me to feel more confident and increase my opportunities.”
–Carter Tracy
💫
🌸 “A new perspective and renewed focus”
“One of Michelle’s greatest gifts is the ability to provide people with a new perspective and a renewed focus on their life goals. She is incredibly knowledgeable, creative, and honest. I highly recommend Michelle’s services.”

💫
✨ “Comprehensive and professional”
“My session with Michelle was comprehensive to say the least. She is one of the most professional counselors I have worked with. Her knowledge and expertise in the area of Astrology and how it relates to personal growth for an individual is incredible. She spent a great deal of time with me because she saw the need to further explain her findings in a way I could understand and integrate the findings into my personal life. I highly recommend her. I also plan to have future counseling sessions with her as needed. I cannot say enough good things about her.”
–Kay Citron Hospice and Palliative Care Nurse

“This is BETTER than therapy!“
–Sherri Lamar Partner and Marketing Strategist with Chrysalis Partners
💫
🌟 “A profound, deeper level understanding”
“You are an amazing talent, Michelle, and I want you to know how I honor that. It is one challenge for a person to learn all of the book-ish material in your field, but you have such a profound, deeper level understanding that books cannot teach. Also, I can tell that you allow your intuition to get involved, which makes it all the more special. You seem to have no judgment for the shortcomings present in all of us. And you bring with you a sense of empathy which makes it so much easier for a client to acknowledge their junk and look at it from a fresh perspective. Kudos! Thank you sooooo much for today – and for your magnificent gifts and voice.”

🌿 “Helped me to relax, regardless of what is happening”

She’s great on your birthday, too!”

💫
⭐ “The anointed astrologer”
“What’s incredible is your unique ability to intuit not only the messages of the planets and their intricate relationships with one another AND with each individual’s chart, but also just the right way to interpret these meaningful relationships to laypeople like me! You are the anointed astrologer! I trusted you implicitly from the moment I met you. Go figure. I’m wishing peace, calm, and abundance for you, Michelle Gregg.”
–Karly Hammond
💫
🌸 “An odyssey of personal discovery”
“Consulting with Michelle takes you on an odyssey of personal discovery. She is friendly, easy to talk to, extremely patient, and thoroughly knowledgeable about her subject. She gives wholeheartedly and approaches teaching with a loving concern for the well-being of the student. In one of her transit classes, she disclosed a personality dichotomy of mine (just a little something in passing) that no other astrologer mentioned. Knowing that has allowed me to be less critical and demanding of myself and more understanding.”
–Nanette Littlestone Editor and Writer, Author of The Sacred Flame
💫
💡 “Way more insightful than therapy”
“I wasn’t kidding. Spending an hour with you was way more insightful than a therapy session (and a lot more fun). I feel like I left knowing much more about myself. Thank you.”
–Daniel Keith Historian

Thank you!
Thanks for stepping into this circle of stories… let these faerie-dusted life lyrics inspire your own wings to flutter. Let them dance you forward.
Astrology is art in motion, conversation in starlight. Whenever you’re ready for your next verse, I’ll be here – kettle on, chart open, the faeries on call.
With warmth, and wonder, Michelle🌿
✨If something in you sparkled or fluttered, follow that shimmer here. Let’s see what faerie dust looks like on you.
What I love about Astrology is that it shows you your intentions and potentials… and it maps the energy of the moment – any moment, whether a birth, or right now, or a particular time on a day 200 years ago. And that energy can be compared to the unique energy you were born with – which in Astrology is represented by your birth chart. When you make that comparison, between the “now” energy and the “birth” energy, you get what astrologers call “transits.”
Incredibly, using that comparison – those transits – gives you scads of rich information about where you’re up for evolutionary change and transformation. If you know your birth chart and your current transits (comparing the current energy to the energy with which you were born) – you have a remarkable tool for navigating life and for bringing your potentials into reality. I love this stuff!
I like to say to my clients, “Live your transits – listen to them – because they are the intuition of your Soul.” Your Soul, or Fate, or your God Self, or Core Self – whatever you want call that guiding direction – can be seen and understood through your birth chart and the transits that are impacting it, meaning you, in any given moment. Listen deeply and respond intuitively – and fearlessly!
Here’s just a little example:
A woman we will call Adara experienced the orbiting planet Uranus making a challenging transit to her birth Moon in the 4th house. During this time (about a two year period) she lost her job and subsequently her home and was forced to move to a new state to live with relatives.
This certainly brought new challenges into her life and created much anxiety for her emotionally, to put it mildly.
However, the transiting planet Uranus was also connecting with her birth Jupiter/Sun combination in her first house and with her Midheaven (the portal into the house of career.) This meant that while her life was certainly being shaken up, Adara was also being supported and could experience great benefit and find tremendous meaning through the experience.
Shortly after she made the necessary move, which initially felt incredibly unfair and difficult, Adara unexpectedly met someone who propelled her toward an entirely new career where she soon felt both excited and fulfilled. She was finally doing her life’s work!
Without the unfortunate loss of her previous job and all that resulted from that, Adara wouldn’t have had the opportunity that ended up unlocking her heart and bringing her happiness.
The beauty of this story is that not only was someone propelled toward a more joyful existence, but that Adara, through astrology, was able to understand, sometime during the midst of these events, that some sort of upheaval and life changes were necessary to her evolution – to becoming who she was meant to become. She was then able to prepare to expect the unexpected.
After Adara began making discoveries about herself and what was impacting her via several astrology sessions, she no longer felt that something sinister was being done TO her – but instead understood that theses changes were her Self – her Soul – speaking directly to her to help her change what needed to be changed in order to move her toward the state of fulfillment. She decided to remain positive and to look at her challenges as opportunities for growth and possibility – and therefore she was rewarded with exactly that. And she was also able to understand the time frame during which all of this would happen, because transits, the impact of orbiting planets to your birth chart, are very easily timed.
What a great story, yes?
I’d love to hear your comments!

Happy Full Moon everyone!! Today is the Full Moon in Leo (Moon entered Leo at 9:20 AM and will be full at 11:38 PM Eastern Time). Below is a beautiful meditation from the August 17 New Moon in Leo that you can do to connect you with Leo energy. Whatever you began then, 6 months ago, should either be coming to fulfillment, or have reached a denouement. And today, also look at what you started 2 weeks ago at the New Moon in Capricorn (it just missed being in Aquarius). Think about what is coming to fruition now that you began at those 2 times and really connect with the cycles of creation that you initiate. Everything happens in cycles – so it only makes sense to be aware of and to connect with them!
This meditation was created at the New Moon – so it is geared toward new beginnings – not what the Full Moon is for. As you read it, do so with eyes and heart toward fulfillment rather than initiation. Maybe this will jog your memory around whatever you began then – in Aug. 2012.
“A career is wonderful, but you can’t curl up with it on a cold night.” ~Marilyn Monroe
The sign of the Zodiac the Moon occupies changes about every 2-and-a-half-days and as she orbits she makes different connections to other planets, touching all of them in different ways as she speeds her way through the sky. Each of us will resonate to the energies of the flirting, capricious Luna in different ways and with different reactions according to the energies of our own birthcharts – our own dispositions and levels of consciousness. However, this comes as a guide to help you understand which fickle face our Lady Moon is showing today.
If you know your birthchart, or at least your Sun, Moon, or Rising signs (or better yet – all three – and if you don’t know any of them, maybe it’s time for you to send me an email) knowing where the Moon is will help you understand how to navigate your day and why you may be feeling the way you are or why you’re having the reactions or responses that you’re having.
***Today the Moon is in it’s final day of being in the sign of Cancer for the next month, having moved into that sign on Jan 23, and she’s opposing Venus in Capricorn. (Personally I’m ready for Venus to move into the lighter feeling Aquarius! That happens on February 1.)
When the Moon opposes Venus we have a connection of the two “feminine” planets – the Moon representing our emotions, Mother, family, home, and traditions, and Venus representing how we give and receive love, and what we value and find beautiful, as well as our resources/money – after all, we draw to us what we value. With this combination, as with all planetary combinations, we can operate from the highest possible vibration or the lowest – or somewhere in between. Today’s option, on the lower end, is to experience discord between our emotional selves and those whom we love. We could find that we are torn between our relationships and what we desire, between the need for security and a safe haven and the need to authenticate ourselves and our ambitions and keep moving forward. It could be the classic balancing act of home/family and career/business.
On the high road, we could find that the enduring we love we have for our families and our traditions is the perfect mirror for our sense of home and hearth and all who are there… our traditions and how we value them could play a part in how this day unwinds emotionally.
It would be great if part of today is spent in preparation for tomorrow’s Full Moon in Leo. That simply means looking back over the past 2 weeks (from the New Moon in Capricorn on January 11) and over the past 6 months (since the New Moon in Leo in August) and thinking about what is coming to fullness – to fruition – in your life. Connecting to our cycles is a very positive way to stay connected to our intentions. What were your intentions 6 months ago? Are they coming to fulfillment now?
Enjoy this day of family – even if your family is really your friends, or your Calico or Golden Retriever. Extend love and watch it mirror back…

That lustrous orb that sweeps our oceans to and fro is also the harbinger who describes and defines our day-to-day fluctuating energy. As the face of the Moon is ever changing, so are the feelings and intuitions that push and pull us through our daily rounds. The sign of the Zodiac the Moon occupies changes about every 2-and-a-half-days and as she orbits she makes different connections to other planets, touching all of them in different ways as she speeds her way through the sky. Each of us will resonate to the energies of the flirting, capricious Luna in different ways and with different reactions according to the energies of our own birthcharts – our own dispositions and levels of consciousness. However, this comes as a guide to help you understand which fickle face our Lady Moon is showing today.
If you know your birthchart, or at least your Sun, Moon, or Rising signs (or better yet – all three – and if you don’t know any of them, maybe it’s time for you to send me an email) knowing where the Moon is playing and who she’s playing with will help you understand how to navigate your day and why you may be feeling the way you are or why you’re having the reactions or responses that you’re having.
I’m going to try to write this everyday for you – or at least, most days. No promises being made here, but I hope the days I manage it, that you’ll find some peace, and maybe even gain a little edge, in knowing. I want to dedicate this effort to Kat. She told me that she missed my posts. So Kat – this if for you. If any of you enjoy this lovingly crafted energetic gift – please let me know! It will help to keep me motivated to continue…
(The above 3 paragraphs will be repeated each “By the Light of the Moon” post, so if you’ve read it before and know it by heart, just skip to the stuff just below. All times given in this column are Eastern time. )
All apologies for missing yesterday’s “By the Light of the Moon!” Some life events are going on and my time has become a bit more limited, but I’ll be posting as often as possible to keep you updated on where our lovely Luna is currently, with all the how and why.
Today, she’s still in Gemini and peeling out on her own, away from all the other planets. (Just FYI, in Astrology we usually refer to both the Sun and Moon as planets… just makes it easier than constantly saying the luminaries or the lights etc.)
That means that the Geminian emotional symbolism is pretty pure (which I’ll describe just below), not being qualified by other connections – and also means that the Moon is Void-of-Course almost the entire day: from 6:42 AM when she contacted Mars, until 1:36 AM Eastern tomorrow morning. If you’ve read my previous posts on what the Void-of -Course Moon means then you’re ahead of the curve. During a Void Moon our right brains are usually more engaged, meaning that logical, linear exercises – both personal and in business – might not be the best courses of action to push. They may certainly be there, with the Moon in Gemini, but pushing anything is probably not a great idea! During this period of time, it’s probably best to engage creatively, to NOT be married to a particular outcome, and to be more internal than external. Often times the Void Moon is a time of hit-or-miss action, so don’t be surprised if things don’t connect strongly with others today. For a refresher you can read here.
So – the Moon in Gemini. That’s today. I’d expect a bit of restlessness, fluctuating moods, and curiosity. We could engage in busy work to pass the time because it might be challenging to focus on a goal or to make decisions, so I suggest that it’s a wonderful day to read… that’s a great Gemini activity that works well with the Void Moon. A Gemini moon is clever though, so don’t squelch it, just don’t push anyone else into your ideas until a later time, because the connection you’re hoping for or the desired outcome could be out of reach.
I’d say enjoy this intellectual “down-time” day and give your mind free reign to discover and explore!

I so appreciate all of you and the fantastic response I’ve had for my new column “By the Light of the Moon.”
Last weekend the readers dropped, as I expected them to, so this weekend and on weekends in the future, I’ll take a writing break on Saturdays and Sundays and be right back to it on Mondays. Hope that sounds fair!
This weekend, the whole weekend, the Moon is in Taurus. So just quickly here (I can’t help myself!) the Moon in Taurus wants good food, good drink, sensual affection and to revel and be still in what it has and where it is. Taurus likes to be near its possessions – and enjoy them. So cook at home, eat, drink and make your lover happy! No sudden changes needed or desired.
Saturday, there’s an opposition from the Moon to Saturn, so issues around feeling isolated/low or around family/mother might arise. If you’re single, give yourself permission to stay home and enjoy the down time. Thinking about it, digestion might not be that great though. On the high road of this equation, our feelings of commitment, stability and security may be stirred and we can find contentment in them.
Sunday, the Moon squares Mars… possibly a recipe for high tempers. Mars in Aquarius wants to go, do and discover, while the Moon in Taurus wants to stay in and commune with family at home. I don’t know who, or which part of you, wins this debate, but watch for overly defensive or overly aggressive tendencies with this combo. Best case? Compromise… and have another glass of wine.
That lustrous orb that sweeps our oceans to and fro is also the harbinger who describes and defines our day-to-day fluctuating energy. As the face of the Moon is ever changing, so are the feelings and intuitions that push and pull us through our daily rounds. The sign of the Zodiac the Moon occupies changes about every 2-and-a-half-days and as she orbits she makes different connections to other planets, touching all of them in different ways as she speeds her way through the sky. Each of us will resonate to the energies of the flirting, capricious Luna in different ways and with different reactions according to the energies of our own birthcharts – our own dispositions and levels of consciousness. However, this comes as a guide to help you understand which fickle face our Lady Moon is showing today.
If you know your birthchart, or at least your Sun, Moon, or Rising signs (or better yet – all three – and if you don’t know any of them, maybe it’s time for you to send me an email) knowing where the Moon is playing and who she’s playing with will help you understand how to navigate your day and why you may be feeling the way you are or why you’re having the reactions or responses that you’re having.
I’m going to try to write this everyday for you – or at least, most days. No promises being made here, but I hope the days I manage it, that you’ll find some peace, and maybe even gain a little edge, in knowing. I want to dedicate this effort to Kat. She told me that she missed my posts. So Kat – this if for you. If any of you enjoy this lovingly crafted energetic gift – please let me know! It will help to keep me motivated to continue…
(The above 3 paragraphs will be repeated each “By the Light of the Moon” post, so if you’ve read it before and know it by heart, just skip to the stuff just below. All times given in this column are Eastern time. )
With the Moon still in Aries until tonight, and with the 90 degree, tense communication that exists today between that Moon and the Sun in Capricorn, there are bound to be some dynamic feelings that get us up and about with the goal of releasing the tension between our emotions and who we believe we are.
Those of us with more Fire and Air planets and points in our birthcharts (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius) will be pulling for the Moon in Aries team, and those with more Earth and Water planets and points (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces) will be rooting for Sun/Mercury team. The goal though isn’t for the instinctive “me-first” emotions to win out over the ambitions, sense of propriety, thought processes and ideas of the Self… but rather to do something productive with the gathered tension between them.
To put this more bluntly, those of us more geared to being idea people, the thinkers, might be a little at odds with the ones who put the ideas into practice and maintain them – the doers. And if you have elements of both of these ways of being inside you, then you may be feeling at odds inside yourself.
But this is GOOD!
Without this kind of building tension, we’d pretty much all be sitting around waiting for the other person to create something or get something done. “What’s for dinner?” “I don’t know… did you make anything?” “No, you?” “No.”
See what I mean? Without the planets butting heads and building that tense energy, we’d all still be sitting in caves in the dark and the cold.
So as you go about your day trying to get stuff done and possibly feeling that there are way too many road blocks in front of your progress, realize that it’s just the way to get you motivated to suss up enough “umph” to get over the wall and do whatever you have to do better than you would’ve without the challenge. Challenges bring out the best in us. They make us think more deeply about what we’re doing and why we’re doing it and force us to get more creative as well. When we’re challenged we try harder and our focus is laser sharp. We’re likely to stay on task for the long-haul. When nothing challenges us, we just oh-dee-doh along the same rut, possibly asking, “What’s the point?”
So harness the fire and competitive spirit of Aries, and the solid, steady pragmatic approach of Capricorn to build a better… something. Maybe a better you?
Starting tonight at 8:36 Eastern, the Moon moves into Taurus. That will help fix what we’re building today in place.
