Sun Enters Aquarius

The Sun moves into Aquarius tomorrow and I'm going to try my best to refrain from singing that song.. even though it's playing in my head on repeat! I absolutely LOVE Aquarians! Maybe it's because it's my Moon sign or maybe just because I love their uniqueness and way of processing information!

Aquarians strive to be themselves and are fiercely independent, but are also very consciously aware of the compassion they have for humanity. While they generally will be very accepting of others ideals, they also can be exceptionally stubborn with their own. They can sometimes be considered standoffish when really they're just lost deep in thought! Intellectually they can be very gifted at working out complex situations; and may even have a touch of genius to them. Aquarius also rules technology so take some time with getting your social networking where you want it to be! Communication at times may be tough since it may seem more calculated than emotional, but there is a balance between their head and heart! However, you will be able to trust an Aquarius because they know the truth will set you free! Plus, they just don't want to be caught up in any drama!

So let's take a real quick look at how this Aquarian energy affects you for the next month!


Aries or Aries Ascendant- Now that the Sun in in your 11th house of community, you could be ready to take  things to another level with what you contribute in society. You're a born leader and can motivate others to take action, but be careful that you don't come across as tyrannical! Just make sure that you have the complete facts and that you don't do anything too reckless!

Taurus or Taurus Ascendant- Setting goals this next month will be of great importance as the Sun is in your 10th house of career. If you've been struggling to make a change in your job situation, or you're wanting to start fresh, now will be the time to figure out what it is that will get you moving in the right direction! You may just need to reach out to others to get some help!

Gemini or Gemini Ascendant- Your ruling planet Mercury enters Aquarius the same day as the Sun and gives a greater focus to your 9th house of higher learning. Take knowledge to another level, it will definitely give you an advantage at this time! Your ideas are racing a mile a minute, but if you can get them under control, you'll be able to grow and connect at a deeper level as you share these experiences with others.

Cancer or Cancer Ascendant- This is a time of acceptance as the Sun is in your 8th house of intimacy and sharing. It may not be easy to deal with emotionally, but it's important to take everyone's feelings into consideration. Just because you feel one way about something doesn't mean everyone else needs to feel the same. We all have our way of dealing with things.

Leo or Leo Ascendant- How you connect with others will be important as the Sun is in your 7th house of relationships. This won't be a time where it's all about you though! Now is a time for equality. Being able to give and take will show you the value others have for you and what they're able to bring to the table in return! Be grateful for your community "pride"!

Virgo or Virgo Ascendant- Getting things in order seems to always be your thing, but as the Aquarian Sun goes through your 6th house of routines, it'll be important to be flexible! Staying on schedule is one thing, but don't let it turn into something you're obsessing over! You usually don't have a problem with getting things accomplished, but sometimes you just need to learn a new way of dong things!

Libra or Libra Ascendant- Expect to be a little popular as the Sun goes through your 5th house of fun and creativity! Others will naturally be gravitating towards you and will enjoy your optimistic outlook. Coming together in collaboration proves beneficial. You'll even find excitement in things that are a little out of the ordinary if you allow yourself to try some new things!

Scorpio or Scorpio Ascendant- You'll be a little overly motivated to find yourself as the Sun makes its way through your 4th house of stability. Things may be a little untraditional, but "wherevever you go, there you are"! And if you feel stuck in your situations, find the beauty in the security that IS there. Things can be life altering every day depending on your viewpoint!

Sagittarius or Sagittarius Ascendant- This time of having the Sun and Mercury in your 3rd house of communication will shake things up! No one usually knows what to expect to come out of your mouth most days and this only greater amplifies things! You'll be reaching out with your connections and may even be surprised by who you come in contact with! Take the time to put your thoughts down on paper, you might just have the next best and coolest thing!

Capricorn or Capricorn Ascendant- Things may fluctuate at this time as the Sun is in your 2nd house of finances and self-worth. Sometimes you do need to spend money to make money, but make sure you're making sound investments in yourself! Usually you're rather responsible, but you might be feeling the need to get some instant gratification. Just make sure you can really afford it and not kicking yourself financially or emotionally later!

Aquarius or Aquarius Ascendant- It's your time to shine!!! Now that the Sun and Mercury are in your sign, you get the feeling things are clearing up and you have more focus. Mars has also been in your sign since December 25th which has you feeling that society is awakening to be more compassionate, though also more ready to take action for what they believe in. This gives you hope for the future! Allow yourself to share more of your ideals and take a more active approach and you'll see the changes you're able to inspire in others!

Pisces or Pisces Ascendant- You may be feeling a little reserved as the Sun and Mercury are in your 12th house of enlightenment. Your opinions will be clear and concise and others may be surprised by your thoughts. Looking inward at what you want to project outward will take some time to decide which approach is best. This is a time to be reflective and not reactive. Others decisions are their own. You only need to take responsibility for yourself.

New Moon in Cancer ~ Solar Eclipse!

Just as Venus will be reminding us to take stock of things, this Solar Eclipse in Cancer on July 11th, will be challenging us individually to really break free from what's holding us back. Because Cancer is a sign that has a tendency to cling to the past, emotions may run deep as we try to figure out what will bring the depths of nurturing and security we're looking for.

The Sun and Moon are the 2 most important "planets" in your chart. Technically they aren't planets, but are luminaries, since they give off light! The Sun represents our emotional security or insecurities, temperament and attachments. The Moon is our feelings and our perception of emotions. When the Sun and Moon are activated together, it creates an intense energy flow between the Sun (consciousness) and the Moon (feelings).

Throughout the Moon's cycles, there is a death and rebirth happening. During the New Moon we let our instincts lead us. While in Cancer, focus will be on your feelings of dependency, home comforts, family matters, past memories, fears, and our true passions. This New Moon with it's Cancer/Capricorn influence will help us push past anything weighing us down and GET REAL with where we want our life's path to go!

Now don't get into a tizzy the all of a sudden things are magickally going to get figured out! That's not the point. The energy from eclipses is technically activated for about 6 months or so. But the focus needs to be baby steps. One small step leads to another, and another, and so on. Give yourself the peace in knowing there is always a new sunrise and sunset each and every day. This is the time to get back to your roots.

Everyone will feel this energy differently, just as I last talked about with the Venus in Virgo post. Those with a planet or angle between 17 and 21 degrees of Cancer or Capricorn, may feel the strength of the eclipse more directly. So let's take a look at how this might effect your sign!


Aries (March 21 - April 19)- This Eclipse activates your 4th House, bringing focus to your home and family. Events from the past may unexpectedly have you thinking of how it affects you in the present. You might also find yourself wanting to tackle home projects that you've put off to make your home more how you've wanted it to be or if relocation has been on your mind, this may be the start of that action! Any social connections at your house are sure to bring you deep emotional satisfaction. Your appreciation for family is easily shown.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)- You may feel a strong drive to achieve what you've been looking for through intellect and mental accomplishments as the Eclipse sits in your 3rd House of communication and intelligence. The 3rd House also indicates siblings and neighbors, so you may be inspired to work on the relationship and become closer. This will be a time to expand and communicate your ideas! If you have a special talent, you might find satisfaction in teaching others your skill. Since this is also a time of increased awareness, establishing a meditation routine may prove beneficial!

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)- Finances will focus in heavily for with the Eclipse hanging out in your 2nd House of income and worth. It might be tough to realize what's serving it's purpose for you and what's expendable! Especially as Venus is making it's way through your 4th House, your home! You may be living beyond your means. A change may be necessary, but taking the leap of faith might just be what it takes to have you see what you're really living for! Humility can be a hard lesson to learn. You may start to question your understanding of security.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)- Here the Solar Eclipse is at it's most intense! If you've held yourself back due to fear of not succeeding, well you've already done just that! This Eclipse is represented in your 1st House, your personality and approach. You are not one to flaunt your ego, you genuinely care! Your will and self awareness are abundant! Don't let your Cancerian self hold that nurturing in, share it and spread the love! You have strong recuperative abilities that let you bounce back from any struggle that's been happening. Just be careful of impatience and compulsiveness.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)- With the Eclipse in your 12th House you may need to re-evaluate the signals you subconsciously broadcast. This is not the time to lose faith in your goals. but you might be surprised if you shift your focus from recognition for your actions to feeling fulfilled by the service you're providing. Do not give your control over to others thinking they have the answers. This is the time to listen to your inner voice, rely on your intuition and take time for some self contemplation. Evaluate things honestly and acknowledge your faults AND your virtues!

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)- This emotional Cancer Eclipse finds itself in your 11th House, the house of groups and friendships. You may find this energy as being restricted or be faced with pressure from others. With Venus now in your sign as well, you would do best to trust your actions are done with the best intentions. You may be the one that needs to take the lead in organizing a group experience if you want to spread your humanitarianism. At this time, you may find your interest in occult subjects are heightened as well and you can easily research the information you look for.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)- You might feel a struggle to make you place in the world with this Solar Eclipse in your 10th House of career success and status. If you're looking for power or fame, you need to realize it comes with price! Don't feel as though you are entitled to authority. Finding a balance between owning your power and when to give it over to someone else may key at this time. The ambition to succeed is there, be sure the reason you're working so hard is really what you want at the end result!

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)- This Solar Eclipse hits your 9th House of philosophy, higher education, traditions and spiritual matters. As Venus is in your 11th House, you may find yourself achieving the education you dreamed of, as the 11th House also shows our hopes and dreams! This also can be a time to travel (also 9th House) if your heart desires. This is not a time to be limiting of yourself or condescending, you'll need to keep an open mind. Use this time to find your inspiration and harness the energy to realize your highest hopes!

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)- As this Solar Eclipse finds itself in your 8th House, your house of shared resources, physical, psychological, spiritual and psychic evolution; you may experience this energy in many ways over the next couple of months! Your self esteem may find itself reborn, like the phoenix rising from the ashes! You feel things are at a turning point and you're ready to start doing things out of love rather than necessity! You are usually one that is honest and don't hold back what's on your mind. Stand true with what you feel and believe!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)- You might find yourself looking at your relationships in a new light as the New Moon in Cancer is opposite your sign. This Eclipse finds itself in your 7th House of partnerships. You have been wanting emotional fulfillment and as Venus transits your 9th house, new ideas may weave their way into your life bringing you into contact with cultures you have been fascinated with. Perhaps learning a foreign language, or taking a meditation or yoga class will have you meeting those you would like to bring into your life! Now is a time to bring conscious expanding growth.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)- During this Eclipse, it'll hit your 6th House, house of health and daily routines. If things have been in a slump, it's time to see if the way you've been going about it is really the right way. You may be spreading yourself out a little too much! Try to find the focus you need as Venus finds itself in the transformative 8th House. Also, if you've had any health problems, now would be the time to address them. Establishing a routine for a healthy body and mind can be beneficial!

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)- This Eclipse finds you well and it lands in your 5th House, house of creativity, children and hobbies. There may end up being an emotional "block" that comes about, but it's more about the lesson that there's a time for play and a time when work needs to be done! This may further be enhanced by Venus in your 7th house. If you have children, take time to play games with them that you enjoyed.. or if your older, there's nothing wrong with a couple of beers for an adult game night either!


I hope the Eclipse's energy treats you well and helps open up experiences that will help us all along our way these next few months! If you have any questions regarding how the planets are affecting you personally, you can reach me at facebook or email!

Many Blessings!!
