Greetings friends just a quickie this month as I’m days away from departure to the USA for my tour. If you’re stateside & haven’t booked yet please do!! Scroll to end for bookings… Well after these many months of  things feeling stalled as the strangeness swirls around us events are about to kick forward big time.

Yes the Aug 21st “The Great American Eclipse”  brought together this divided nation with cheers and expressions of awe for nature’s magic. But tragically it has also brought people together to rescue & support the victims of Hurricane Harvey.

Historically major tectonic & weather events often occur in regions that have recently been ‘eclipsed’.   As eclipses alter time/space and direct fresh waves of information into our collective intelligence here’s to the birth of a whole new level of cohesiveness & unity. Ironic isn’t it that disasters tend to do this! An amazing Astro correlation here as it was also Aug 26th 2005 that Katrina made landfall…so this is an exact 12 year Jupiter cycle, the last time he was in Libra.

Sun is now in Virgo until Sept 22nd, joining trickster Mercury who has been doing his retro thing here since mid-August & goes back into Leo. So we’re in super organizing, dealing with details mode, and also great for enhancing your health with good food & daily ‘stay calm’ messages to self!

Mercury turns direct @ 28 degrees Leo on Sept 5th, right on the degree of the Solar Eclipse. So the high octane forces are still in full swing for the first 10 days of Sept, hopefully in a good way! Trump will be under enormous pressure as this lingers on his Mars & Ascendant in Leo, and the North Korea situation may come to a head. So we need to join hearts & intentions to soothe these troubled times.

Venus enjoys her time in Leo until Sept 21st so make the most of her love of fun & glamming up to enjoy social connections.

New Moon in Virgo on Sept 20th @ 27 degrees, OK with Saturn  in challenging connection PLUS Jupiter & Uranus within days of their final opposition this will be a much feistier Virgo New Moon than usual. As Virgo rules ‘systems’ expect some big shifts & changes in the systems that run our world! Read on for details of the Jupiter/Uranus story!

The big news is the final opposition of Jupiter in Libra to Uranus in Aries from 27th to 30th September. We had first pass late Dec 16, then the retro pass early March so this will finally complete the process.

The classic reading here is the desire to break free of restricting conditions and people to liberate your life if you’ve been feeling constricted. There can be sudden beaks that bring an enormous feeling of relief & release the tensions that have been building up. I’m wondering if you’re thinking this may be a sudden Trump departure moment? Could be… Read on for some extra info from earlier posts.

Here’s a quick overview from my 2017 Report “Watch these dates for major changes (in some cases unexpected) to current global relationships and the rise of populist people’s ‘liberty movements’. Jupiter/Uranus combos bring us brave new explorer archetypes & large scale revolutionary activity, so these are great timings for expanding & initiating new territory in your world, or having a ‘freedom outbreak’!!  Innovation is the key”

And this from my Dec 2016 letter “Jupiter now steps into the fray of the Uranus/Pluto Zap Zone as he opposes Uranus from the 23rd Dec till the end of the year. This is the first of 3 passes of this major alignment and they remain in tight connection right through Jan Feb & March 2017 with a final pass in late September. This is the half way or full point in their 12 year cycle which began in 2011. This combo ups the urge for freedom and innovation big time and can bring sudden bolts of change either from you toward current people & situations OR at you from work situations & partners who have outlived their role in your life. The big caution here is to make sure you don’t throw out the baby with the bath water as you seek to revolutionize your life and create space for exciting new people and adventures to unfold in 2017.”

And this from my March 2017 letter “March opened with a bang as Mars joined Uranus to oppose Jupiter for the second time and the highly conflicted global story amped up another notch. Their first opposition was in late December 2016 & their final ‘hit’ will be in late September, after which we should see the tensions ease, albeit heaven only knows what’s in store between now and then! So yes things are uber intense right now & we are all managing lots of things & energies & difficult people et al. So PLEEZE hold your center with lots of positive messages to self & others remembering that we are also working to build new goodies in our lives that will be marvelous!!

In years to come you’ll be able to say you lived through the most exciting & dynamic phase of modern history! Yes the Depression & dictators of the 1930s, McCarthy & communism in the 1950s, Kennedy & King assassinations in the 1960s, Nixon & Watergate in the 1970s were watershed events in their eras. And yep ours will no doubt be remembered as the ‘Trump Year/s’! The trouble is that when you’re in the midst of the chaos it’s hard to keep the perspective that is only available after the events. This is why I’m always reminding any who will listen to stay OBJECTIVE and simply be aware that we are witnessing a grand battle between forces of which we everyday folks have little true understanding.

I gave a talk last week about the Astrology of 2017 and was asked “what’s going to happen with all this political stuff?”. My answer was “I don’t know!” All I really know is that In terms of the big picture timings of the unfolding cycles of conscious evolution, the battle is really between the unsustainable practices of the old 3D reality program and the birth of the new paradigm sustainable future.  And in this big picture “battle” it sure is the case that 2017 contains all the big ticket global issues “in extremis”… politics/economics/weather…yep Jupiter in Libra opposing Uranus in Aries aren’t mucking around as they amplify the extreme polarization in every level of human & Gaia affairs.

So when we apply psychological principles here we have fruitful territory for our personal growth & evolution. We must own our own inner stress between the part of us who wants to stay attached to the past versus the part of us that is willing to take responsibility for the need to innovate & change…and this can be risky!  Our current social revolution isn’t just about amazing new technologies and robots and faster & better internet speeds. It’s about a global awakening way beyond that!!

I recently had an fascinating chat with one of my yummy ‘daughters’ who informed me she believes that it won’t be long before people will ‘be over’ all this techno stuff, and just want to start writing & learning & interacting with others without all the complexity that makes people so anxious and overwhelmed and socially dysfunctional. Isn’t that interesting, as this 34 year old lady is realizing that life is so much richer without COMPLEXITY. Yes I know we can’t turn back the clock but maybe she has a point. SIMPLICITY! I’m reminded of the old T.S. Elliot quote that “we shall never cease from exploration until we return from whence we started and know it for the first time”.

Anyway that’s my little rave for this month! Stay in your heart my friends as you keep building your positive lives inspired by being part of our current social revolution toward a conscious world. Stay in gratitude…be kind to self & others…get excited…be aware that wonderful opportunities are right there for the seizing!!

Live long & prosper my friends and I’m so looking forward to meeting my American Tribe in September. Go back to top left of this letter for event dates & bookings!!

“The Great American Eclipse”

Well folks the most interesting 2 months of 2017 is on the way & I’m excited. August brings us the 2nd Solar Eclipse of 2017, & it’s a BIGGIE, popularly christened ‘The Great American Eclipse’, as its  path crosses the  USA from West to East. So get set for some big shifts & major developments on lots of levels in the USA, Globally & personally.

Then in September we’re up for the final connection between Jupiter & Uranus…the underpinning frequency since Nov 2016 that has brought our crazy revolutionary process to a peak… All I can say is it’s fabulous & fascinating to watch the unfolding drama as we step between the old world & the new, over these tumultuous few years. It’s time to shed our old skins & embrace our lion heart and dare to shine people!!

The talk on the street is all over this Solar Eclipse, as Astrologers have been going nuts with this one! There are so many bold energies about to be unleashed, and as ever we can choose to go into this process with a glass half full…or half empty…attitude.

Yes the possible outcomes offer a pretty high degree of chaos & drama on the global stage to move things forward BUT can also open doors for startling breakthroughs, & expanding horizons that may include travel & adventures…physically and mentally! FABO

With Sun + Mars in Leo until August 22nd we are in the 5th stage of our natural year free to expand our creative process! Leo is the big fire sign that ignites our passions, is generous & proud & dares to shine & lead others by motivating them to dare to shine! The spiritual process of Leo brings us the ‘purifying fires’ for our lower ego to take us from the ‘selfish desires & will’ to the HIGHER EGO of selflessness & the desire to illuminate & bring light & love to the world around us.

In Leo we meet the innocence and joy of our ‘Free Inner Child’ at 5 years old, full of the excitement of life and the courage & inquisitiveness to try new things & be delighted with so many possibilities. If kids are given healthy recognition and approval they will always carry this spirit, so your process now to connect with this and let your spirit soar!! Your mantra is “I am brave and free to be who I really am”!!

The first 9 days of August may be a tad challenging but after this it’s all systems go for full Leo awesomeness ok? The tricky stuff comes from the final Jupiter square Pluto (first pass Nov 2016…yes Trump arrives…2nd pass late March) PLUS the Lunar Eclipse on the 7th (more on this below). So the Jupiter Pluto combo amps up ambitions & we can achieve heaps BUT we can also provoke conflict & easily offend others (sometimes quite innocently) in our quest to make things happen. Thus take any struggles in your stride, apologize if you need to, and smile as you deal with admin details…got it?

As Mars travels with the Sun in Leo this month we have high octane action stations to ignite fresh fire & passion! Be proactive & focus all your energy on the next phase of your creative growth to make the most of this game changing August & September.

Never has it been more important to keep a level head and not buy into drama and separation than over this next 2 months. To help us do this we have Messenger planet Mercury in practical Virgo to keep mind & mouth focused, practical and steady…thank goodness. Yes and it also spends extra time in Virgo due to his retrograde phase between August 12th & Sept 6th.

Tricky Mercury is famous for techno glitches & re-routing plans when he’s retro BUT this time he can be very helpful inclining us to THINK before we ACT and deal with the details. Back up computers & all that stuff & try to have travel/publishing plans in place before the 12th…& generally stay fluid & adaptable. Just a reminder that Virgo is the sign of SERVICE so our self-reflection is to ask “How can I serve”. This is the highest purpose for our Soul.

Venus in Cancer brings us another very supportive energy in August as she keeps us in touch with our true feelings so we can use these to help us navigate the turbulent fiery Eclipses! The planet of love & attraction is so happy in Cancer as she basks in the love of her families & tribes…as this is what she truly values.

We’ve just had a pretty intense Cancer time with Sun & Mars doing their thing with Pluto…all a bit deep and ‘Dark night of the Soul’  for many (and me!), as we’ve confronted our deepest fears & insecurities so we may HEAL our core safety stuff.

I mean this is the whole point of this year so far, as we’ve had to witness & feel  our confusion & uncertainty about whether we really can do the ‘Phoenix Rising From the Ashes’ thing as the world around us is in meltdown… Yes we are in a collective healing crisis so we must heal our own safety issues to make our selves and our world a safer place. (I’m going to be talking this one up on my Sept USA Trip!)

So on with the show as they say and there’s nothing like some eclipses in Leo to bring us a brand new opening night! First we have our Lunar Eclipse on August 7th with Sun @ 15 degrees Leo opposite Moon in Aquarius. This is part of the same cycle as the Solar Eclipse on the way on August 21st…so she heralds the collective (Aquarius) creative (Leo) doorway for the next 6 months.

As Eclipses are PORTALs that ignite new 19 year phases within larger cycles, I’m hearing descriptions like “LION GATE Activation” calling this a major cosmic trigger in the larger evolutionary cycles of our times! Love it…bring it on…as goodness knows we can’t continue on this bizarre trajectory  too much longer…or maybe we can who knows? One thing’s for sure things are about to come to a head.

Personally we can use this Lunar Eclipse to release our Leo creativity into Aquarian group & team projects, & with energizer Mars joining the Sun in Leo we’re compelled to activate something! We also have Jupiter in Libra in fab connection doing his expanding purpose dare to grow thing. So something is ready to come out from behind our fears and simply wants/needs to take action and make things grow and happen.

Full Moons and especially Eclipsed ones, are highly charged emotionally so personal & global reactions may be pretty full on as August unfolds. Rejection & alienation are downside Aquarian themes so we need to stay VERY OBJECTIVE if someone says they don’t want to play with us because we are weird or different! Who cares?! The point is we have to get on with being original thinking innovators who dare to be ‘change agents’ regardless of whether the status quo gets us or not…lol

SO let’s get to this Solar eclipse on August 21st @ 28 degrees Leo. This is ‘trending’ big time even in mainstream media such as this Newsweek article – worth a look as video explains eclipses + opinions from several Astrologers about the Trump situation…would you believe!

It’s very exciting for folks in the USA as it is rare to witness the ‘light of the Sun being eclipsed by the Moon” & no doubt the USA will all but grind to a halt while everyone stops to observe this awesome natural phenomena. Ancient people were in awe of this as indeed they experienced significant events within days/weeks of the ‘light going out’. We have masses of historical data to support the premise that they signify major phases of life ending and new ones beginning.

Yes it will be a game changer on a global level and also for you personally if you are a Leo or Aquarius or Taurus or Scorpio with birthdays mid month to 20th of your sign. If so look back to 1998/9 and 1979/80 for signals of big shifts…and another one over the next few months.

It is highly charged from an exact connection with maverick Uranus in Aries…@ 28 degrees…plus Saturn in Sagittarius.  Eclipses repeat every 19 years in the same cycle & historically this series brings us major goodies such as the1999 impeachment of President Bill Clinton, 1981 attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki & death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt -1927 attempted assassination of President William Taft.

So it’s no surprise that Astrologers are on high alert as this eclipse may also bring violence or sudden change to leadership positions. Especially as this time we have the Uranus & Saturn connections AND the path crossing the USA AND lighting up Donald Trump’s Horoscope.

The 28 Degree Leo Eclipse falls on Trump’s Mars & Ascendant in Leo. (Born 14th June 1946 @ 10.54am Queens NY) thus igniting his warrior spirit for better or worse! This re-opens the whole discussion of who is this guy and what is his true role in this extraordinary year. Is he a champion of the revolution to upset the existing status quo and de-stabilize the current system?

Or is he just a narcissistic dude playing out his delusions of power & grandeur? I mean you couldn’t write a script for reality TV better than this! (I’m sure they are working on it!…lol). Sadly his words & actions thus far do not incline me to view him as The Hero…more like The Fool. But we can hope for miracles and I’d love to be wrong on this one. Be a conscious Hero please dude!!

The concern here arises from the fact that Trump’s Sun + Uranus in Gemini are conjunct the USA Mars in Gemini, which goes a long way to explaining why he has been such a polarizing figure since he took office, inciting extreme positions & reactions. It’s like the planetary evolutionary forces called in Trump to embody the archetype of disruptive change! But this is also a ‘war signature’ so whether it plays out as Trump going to battle with the system or a much risker scenario involving military moves remains to be seen.

The massive 2017 scenario is all about dissent and polarization…“funny about that” say Jupiter & Uranus…”yes that’s what we had in mind. Let’s finally wake people up to the BIG Game.” Until a much greater number of people WAKE UP to the hideous system that is running our world it can never change. Both parties are invested in the globalization agenda and we desperately need a champion to bust the stranglehold of the military industrial complex that continues to tell us we must have wars, & consume things we do not need in an endless cycle of greed..

The other thing we Astrologers look for are horoscopes of countries & institutions with the Eclipse degrees highlighted. In this case North Korea with Saturn @ 28 Leo – Israel with Mars @ 28 Leo plus Israeli PM Netanyahu also with Mars @ 28 Leo – Palestine also with Mars @ 28 Leo ( no surprise the 2 countries have been at war endlessly) – Iraq with Sun @ 29 Leo – Vatican City with Saturn @ 28 Sag – Venezuela with Saturn @ 26 Leo. So there’s plenty of action on the way & I’m interested to see how the Vatican situation will unfold with senior Cardinal George Pell currently facing charges in Australia for historical sexual misconduct.

And another big connection is to the Moon in the horoscope of the USA @ 27 degrees Aquarius, which signifies the original Soul intention of the formation of this country for the free rights of the individual. So we also won’t be surprised when the needs of the people (Moon in Aquarius) are powerfully expressed over coming months.

The Eclipse is also conjunct the Royal Star Regulus @ 29 Leo highlighting Royalty in general. Once again no surprise that Trump likes gold & has aspired for the King job. He’s sure in for an interesting ride over coming months & the question remains, will he fall off his throne or suddenly become the voice of peace and reconciliation as global hot spots get very hot in the near future.

One thing is for sure! We all need to send our Leo hearts & Aquarian minds to empower PEACEFUL co-operative actions and solutions as we also jump on the next wave of evolutionary change! Always remember we are not victims!! We are infinitely powerful when we know that nothing can limit and control our creative individual expression. except ourselves.

Live long & prosper my friends and I’m so looking forward to meeting my American Tribe in September. Go back to top left of this letter for event dates & bookings!!

LOTS more info & insights re these major shifts in my 2017 Global Report & Horoscopes…

Well folks there’s some pretty intense energy flying around as we head toward the power packed Full Moon in Cancer next Sunday July 9th! Yes if we can keep our cool over the next few weeks it will be Leo time…hoorah…and we can get on with being fabulous again after doing our little personal death/rebirth thing!

Yep it’s easy to feel a bit beaten down with all the doom & gloom out there so our job is to NOT BUY INTO IT! Yes we are in times of radical shifts & as it’s Cancer time our core safety issues are right up! Please join me for a few insights into the ongoing drama of this tumultuous year…and how to use these extraordinary energies to let go of the past and say yes…GULP…to the unknown future!

You are welcome to book a personal session & please click like on Universal Astro FB page for updates between these letters!
Well early July has already brought us some major power themes, as the star players of 2017 are in one of their peak periods of their challenging stand off scenarios… Yes Mars in Cancer is triggering the Zietgeist revolution zone until July 21st, so the themes of power & control are writ large personally & globally. 

Ah and let’s not forget Happy Birthday America! I send my love to all my friends in my much loved US of A. I’ve lived there & some of my besties live there. My prayer is that the essential essence of what made America the first great experiment in freedom at the last revolution, will be re-born over these coming years, as you pass through the drama of the dissolution of the current power systems and await your next re-birth in the 2020s when Pluto returns to where he started in 1776.

OK so on with the show! This Full Moon @ 17 degrees is totally powerful with Sun in Cancer with Mars OPPOSITE Moon in Capricorn…with Pluto!!  Then we add the fact that they are all forming challenging connections with Uranus in Aries OPPOSITE Jupiter in Libra and we have the whole box and dice for the power themes of this year.

So is it any wonder that the G20 meeting is happening over this period? Ah Trump will get to hang out with Putin and who knows what’s on the way? I mean really…just get that anything can happen this year – we are beyond the norm people. I have included an excerpt from a clever article below re this G20 game…scroll to end it’s funny and insightful…

In my Jupiter in Libra Article I clearly showed the history of BIG international deals/negotiations happening on this cycle. Here’s the previous cycles 1933/4 1945/6 1957/8 1969/70 1980/81 1992/3 2004/5. In 1933/4 Hitler became Chancellor of Germany & the rest as they say is history. 1945/6 saw the creation of the “Iron Curtain” USSR Eastern Bloc, as they were carving up Europe & the Middle East & China’s civil war between the Communists & Republicans paved the way for Mao. In 1957 The Civil Rights Act was introduced  kick-starting the political movement, plus the EU was formed. So if we can get past the hype and fake news (good luck with that) rest assured there’s some pretty major deal brokering happening @ this Full Moon, as China & Russia are buddying up for massive $ infrastructure deals and the supposed democratic western system is in chaos!

Fascinating stuff my friends and as ever I suggest we just stay in ‘objectivity’ as we witness our geo-political & economic systems starting to morph into a whole new phase. Personally we may be navigating some tricky territory in terms of feeling effective!  Mars/Pluto combinations are renowned for anger/control/resistance/ruthlessness & when we add Mars to the Sun in Cancer then watch out kids as emotional reactions will be pretty full on as we head into next week. Suggestion! Duck for cover and if you do need to defend or act on behalf of home or family pick your battles.

OMG we need some positives here don’t we? And yes we have peace-maker Venus now enjoying her time in Gemini until July 31st PLUS Mercury (ruler of Gemini) in passionate Leo. These two are the magic ingredients to activate & motivate our minds & ideas into fresh possibilities, as we are breaking free of old limiting beliefs that we can’t be successful & powerful!  

So if you’re feeling frustrated & blocked just do lots of deep breathing and repeat after me “It’s safe for me to release the past & say I can have it all”! And ask yourself: “How do I change my way of thinking to break down the barriers?”, as you also make the best of some fun and social connections from Venus/Mercury over coming weeks. Stay LIGHT as much as possible…even if you have to talk yourself into it!

There’s also a yummy trine from Neptune in Pisces in the mix and we need to give this lots of power to trust Universal Flow and timing. It’s easy to succumb to survival/safety stuff right now, so remember the upside of the challenging Full Moon energies contains breakthroughs and great career developments if we’ve been good hard working kids OR you’ll know if it’s time to let go of a scenario & move on.

You’ll really feel a huge shift when Sun strides into Leo and is joined by Moon for our New Moon in Leo @ 0 degrees on Sunday July 23rd! Once again activator Mars is in on the show…and I do mean show as Leo is all about drama & performances! This sets the stage for the much heralded Solar Eclipse on August 21st – this will be the SECOND Leo New Moon and has all sorts of bells & whistles for dramatic leadership goodies. Much more about this big enchilada in my August letter!!

Mars with Sun in Leo is high octane action stations to ignite fresh fire & passion! Be proactive & focus all your energy on the next phase of your creative growth to make the most of this one in late July & August! Cheers and blessings to you all Maggie!

Blog from Port Phillip Publishing – July 3rd 2017 – Dear Reader, Oh to have a miniature drone that can fly from Australia to northern Germany!  We’ll need it to have a good signal too, and speak a few languages.  Mission: gather intel on what’s said behind closed doors.

The G20 meeting is on this week. We need our drone on the wall, or inside the flowers somewhere. Putin and Trump are meeting up for the first time since the US Prez was elected. That should be spicy enough. Now we have the US rattling China by sending in a Navy destroyer into its neighbourhood .

Who knows what agendas are at work? Not me, but I’ll take a guess. Admittedly, I’ve not followed geopolitical stuff too closely lately. All that hoohah about Russia fiddling in the US election looks like BS to me. Somebody wants Russia to look like a threat.  Why the fuss then?

NATO surrounds Russia…

I’ve told you about economist Michael Hudson before. I believe his take on this before anyone else’s. He said back in April there wasn’t a shred of evidence that Russia was part of this. Hudson pins it all on propaganda from the war hawks keen to take on Russia.

At the very least, the military industrial complex needs an excuse to park all the weapons it produces (and bills to the US government) somewhere. Hudson said encircling Russia and China was the logical place. Check out this map from The Independent in the UK a few months back…

Source: The Independent

Apparently NATO now has the biggest military build-up in eastern Europe since the Cold War. Now imagine this with a Russian mindest — after being invaded multiple times last century.  The funny thing is Trump did seem for real when he tried to tone down the belligerant stance toward Russia when he came on the scene early on. He was a genuine wildcard ­— that’s why most of the Republican establishment didn’t like him, or want him to run.

Now I see in The Wall Street Journal that the US Parliament is about to vote into law a bill to stop Trump from easing any sanctions on Russia.  The paper reports…

The bill cleared the Senate last month by a 98-2 vote, a rare show of bipartisan unity in favor of legislation that would slap Russia with new sanctions partly because of the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Yeah. Maybe. Here’s what we know about US intelligence services ­­­­— thanks to Edward Snowden. They interfere in anything and everything.  Here’s what we know about US intelligent services from history: they fabricate events and stories all the time for their own ends.  They’ll also destabilise any country, too.

Read this book now

All this is becomes incredibly clear and intriguing if you pick up a copy of George Friedman’s book The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century. He wrote it in 2009. It’s quite spooky to see how accurate he’s been since. I’m not sure I’ll get to see the rest of the 90 years play out, which is a bummer. However, Friedman had 2015-2020 pegged as the period when the United States would once again become ‘obsessed’ with Russia.

Friedman forecast both countries would manoeuvere around the world to weaken or discredit the other. Russia would be pushing its borders out everywhere to build out a strategic buffer. The US will intervene wherever it can to disrupt any alliances or powerful blocs forming. If Friedman’s right, and it looks like he will be, this US versus Russia dyanamic is going to get worse before it gets better. It may truly escalate into somehting like the Cold War 2.0.  In the book US power ultimately prevails. Friedman has Russia collapsing in 2020 as demographics and other factors work against it. Remember, this is based off a forecast he made eight years ago, but we’re watching it play out in real time. One of the tenets of the book is that the US is happy as long as every else is in chaos. That’s partly how it projects and holds global power. A bigger component is the US Navy and the USA’s total control of the world’s sea lanes. Where it goes from here in the short-term, I have no idea, but we can’t take it for granted that world peace will hold out.

LOTS more info & insights re these major shifts in my 2017 Global Report & Horoscopes…

June is going to be a busy month with Mercury zinging into Gemini to join the Sun on the 6th, followed by  the Full Moon in Gemini/Sag on the 9th.  So if you’re feeling wanderlust or restless & general need for fresh stimulus go for it!! Spontaneous trips & meetings with remarkable minds is just what we need right now, with a good dose of some fun thrown in as goodness knows we’ve had way too much serious stuff lately! Gemini keynote is DISTRIBUTION of ideas & knowledge so if you’ve got something to say or teach get it out there before June 21st ok? And remember to stay adaptable as the wind changes…frequently over coming weeks!!

You are welcome to book a personal session & please click like on Universal Astro FB page for updates between these letters!

OMG it’s all so Gemini on steroids right now isn’t it? Too much complex info & bad news demanding our attention so it’s essential to not buy into letting it all make us anxious, hence this pic! Stay positive my friends and use the best of the Gemini goodies for excellent multi-tasking & being open for brilliant ideas to take you ‘out of the box’!

Friday 9th’s Full Moon @ 18 deg Gemini/Sag heightens the extreme themes of 2017 as words & info & fake news will go nuts, & with Neptune in hard aspect be careful what you believe! Escapism, delusion & confusion are also Neptune features, & as I’m writing this it feels like maybe we all deserve to switch off the news/social media for these few days and do a little escapism!

So be very selective about incoming data & verify and check facts. There’s a cool upside here as Gemini aligns our rational left brain mind/mouth with our Neptune visionary right brain, so take time to consciously align your TWO brains. Just close your eyes and do a simple exercise – visualize a bright white light in your left brain and then the same in your right brain. Then connect these with a bright white line and breathe as you say ” I now trust my intuition to inspire my ideas and words”.

As we reach the mid-way point in this tumultuous year be aware that these extreme times will start to level off once we head into October. Yes folks 2017 is a game changer on so many levels as The Gods of Change are upsetting every conventional form we’ve had in place since the late 1980s! Remember ‘revolutions’ upset the status quo and bring mayhem & confusion, but when we’re on to this it’s much easier to remain ‘objective’ and not buy into our emotional overload from events and the many people around us who are having meltdowns.

The maverick see-saw features of this bizarre year contain the essence of Gemini actually…namely the TWINs representing our DUAL nature in a myriad of forms. We are all polarized and contain both light and dark – pleasure and pain- devil and angel – fear and trust. So sometimes a little meltdown is just fine as we need to allow the release valve holding the pressure of managing everything… to just let go. Sometimes a good cry and honoring our vulnerable shadow side is the best medicine! Once again all very Gemini.

And yes this Gem/Sag Full Moon is all over Mr Trump with his Sun/Uranus in Gemini opposite Moon in Sag. I mean you couldn’t make this astrology stuff up! He’s the archetypal maverick right?  Is he mad? Is he being manipulated by the global elite? Is he in some convoluted way actually calling them out? Is he an innocent fool driven by his own narcissism?  It’s a mystery!! So stay tuned for the next round of ‘Trumpeets’ issuing forth into mid June!!

Conscious evolution means we manage the see-saw features in our own nature as we also cope with the terribly sad and totally pointless pain happening in our world. My heart goes out to those who are affected by this ‘healing crisis’ of our time. Use this Gemini time to speak words of compassion & understanding to the many folks who are in “shell shock” and struggling to cope with these challenging times.

It reminds me that the big picture issue of Saturn in Sagittarius has brought us the extreme BELIEFS that are fueling the SEPARATION between east/west Christian/Muslim, and that our collective evolution demands that we UNITE and CO-OPERATE to take the next great step in human affairs!

So as we’re all in info overload I’ll just complete this little letter with a mention that:
Relating planet Venus steps into sensuous Taurus also on June 6th until July 5th. Go the pleasure and beauty principle people!! Make art and gardens – stimulate your senses with healing oils and massages and all things yummy – cook nourishing food – think and invite prosperity – make love not war!!

AND action planet Mars  stepped into the feeling based sign of Cancer on June 4th! This brings the home and family and emotional safety territory front and center. He’s in Cancer right through until July 21st so use this time to nurture all you hold dear and do some renovations to both physical and emotional homes. Just be careful of your ’emotional reactions’!! Great opportunity to notice your ‘defense systems’ when feeling unsafe or vulnerable. Ask for hugs and give them.

This is a pre-curser to Sun also entering Cancer on June 21st marking the 1/4 point in our natural year known as the Solstice. This is longest day for my northern hemisphere friends and shortest day down here in southern climes.  Thus late June into July is time to nurture and LOVE ourselves…and everyone really!!
Blessings & love to all Maggie

Upcoming Workshops & Trainings

Saturday 8th July The Solar Return or Annual Birthday Chart …is the return of the Sun to its own place marking the start of a new cycle to supply the horoscope with a fresh charge of energy. It provides an ‘overview’ of the themes in play for the year ahead, and yes there is also a cycle to our Solar Returns over 8 year periods! I will provide 8 Return Charts for you once you’ve booked and given me your birth details. Yet another fascinating area to support our conscious activity year by year. Mail me if you’d like to book in Venue is in Carrara on the Gold Coast $80 from 10am to 4.30pm All Welcome!!

Love this image for our Full Moon in Libra on April 11th containing the balance of YIN & YANG in our nature between independent action aligned with co-operation with others! Indeed ‘holding our center’ is a biggie for April as generally things can feel a tad frustrating due to both Venus and then Mercury in retro phases. It kind of feels like an anti-climax to the Aries energy from late March urging us onward…and then forward motion being blocked by events beyond our control or annoying stuff we have to deal with. Yep our very strange year continues to challenge us to innovate new activity as we also learn to ‘GO WITH THE FLOW’ & trust!!

You are welcome to book a personal session & please click like on Universal Astro FB page for updates between these letters!

Basic info about Mercury RETROGRADE timings is now pretty well known these days! Even staunch ‘don’t believe in Astrology’ business types now know that it’s cool to heed the caution to deal with the details and avoid signing contracts during this time.   Yes 3 x each year our little buddy Mercury appears to go ‘backwards’  so we can do all the RE things…as listed above! So from April 9th until May 5th our ‘messenger God’ does his retro phase in TAURUS. So it’s all about details to do with MONEY and VALUE systems in our lives. Merc retro is fab for lining up the balls so you’re set to LAUNCH projects & new goodies after mid-May. Here’s the link to my 2017 Global Astrology Report & Horoscopes

Hi folks welcome to my April update where I’ll cover the main territory in the first few paras for those who are in info fatigue mode, and if you’re up for the long story then you can read on…ok?

So as we head toward Tuesday’s Full Moon things are hotting up in the ‘let’s play war game’ as the idiots who run our world rattle their sabers in their endless quest for power. OK so because we are wise owls who get that fear sells, we’re way beyond getting sucked into their hideous game right?

So even though it is indeed a power packed & potentially dangerous Full Moon period on the way we ARE going to use it as an amazing opportunity to create exciting new plans with cool partners to expand our possibilities, & to upgrade our consciousness beyond ‘division’ & ‘separation’ to create inner peace & UNITY no matter how weird things get ‘out there’.

Yes we have every right to be angry with the system but we have to find a way to channel it into constructive action & demand diplomatic solutions. We are NOT going to over-react or antagonize or project our frustrations are we? We ARE going to practice co-operation & send our hearts & minds toward all things peaceful.  

April opened with Venus still retro since March 4th & it won’t be until May 19th she comes ‘out of shadow’ and returns to 13 degrees Aries where she started! Hence my suggestion that it’s good to wait until after May 19th for major launches for projects or big life decisions that are pending.  So during this 40 day period we have time to review & value our need for independent action, plus release old toxic relating patterns where we are not being valued! So not a great time to start love affairs or buy luxury items, just keep growing your confidence & prosperity consciousness to initiate new direction next month!

Indeed one of our major challenges during April also arrives via the beautiful one being ‘squared’ by Saturn for most of the month! So if you’re feeling like you’re in a bit of a trough, finances are a bit stretched, creative mojo has deserted you, or easy lovin is in short supply… then blame good old Saturn! He’s a hard taskmaster who demands of us that we ‘never give up’ and keep working toward our goals. When he’s connecting to Venus he’s testing our relationships on many levels. Are we staying in a situation because of money or an ‘unconscious invitation’ to invite others to limit us so we don’t have to take responsibility for our own individual growth?

This is actually a great time to review Venus stuff – what we eat – the clothes we wear- who matters – your choices – what are you attached to that’s holding you back – just about everything really! It’s a big cleanse and release phase and you’ll feel so much freer long term, so stay fluid and adaptable and keep that sense of humor front & center. Just beware the urge to have a pity party or get sucked into someone else’s!

OK so speaking of Saturn… he also turns retro on April 6th until August 24th…which happens every year BUT this year is a biggie as he is exactly on the Galactic Centre as he stands still and heads backwards for the next 5 months, and then re-connects with this point in December just before he leaves Sagittarius…and into Capricorn.    The GC is the Centre of our Galaxy – the black hole located @ 27 degrees of Sagittarius that emanates the magnetisms for our whole Galaxy & Solar System.

The Mayans called the GC ‘Hunab Ku’. ‘Hunab’ means ‘one state of being’ and ‘Ku’ means ‘God’ so the direct translation would be One State of Being God. When our planets align with the GC historically we are activated with new levels of KNOWLEDGE that progress our species. It’s also interesting that it’s position in Sagittarius underpins the essence of the collective evolution of our human process…i.e. the belief systems that drive our evolutionary growth!

This is a significant point in Saturn’s 28/9 year cycle as the last time he was here was 1988…the prelude to the massive events of 1989 – fall of Berlin Wall & the arrival of Russia & China into the globalization systems. So are we also currently poised for some really big global re-arrangements from next year when Uranus enters Taurus & Saturn enters Capricorn? Could it also be that this current 2017 cycle reveals to the scientific community a whole new understanding of the science of INTERCONNECTEDNESS.

Let’s not forget that we’ve also just had the Mayan Calendar 26,000 year return in 2012, so we’re in a brand new phase in human affairs BIG TIME, which is triggering the new revolution in consciousness of our times. So maybe it’s finally time for the knowledge of the Einstein/Tesla of our time to finally be welcomed into our scientific thinking. I’ve been following the work of this amazing mathematician for several years now. His name is Nassim Haramein and his revolutionary work proves that the current world view that our Universe is random & disconnected, is actually unified and perfectly tuned or INTERCONNECTED.  Here’s one of his presentations on “The Connected Universe” Please watch and share far and wide my friends, and go to his “Resonance Science Foundation”  for more info!

Also interesting timing that our ABC ran a 3-part series this week with Astrophysicist Brian Cox exploring our Cosmos with an open forum for amateur astronomers to ‘discover’ new planets…which they did!! Cox isn’t my favorite guy as he totally puts down Astrology, but it’s cool that he’s inspiring folks to ‘seek out knowledge of new worlds’.

Personally we are open to major insights and wake up calls that trigger our own evolution beyond the old limited world view THIS YEAR!

Sun into Taurus on April 20th – opening stage 2 of our natural year. We’ve had Mars in Taurus for the past month so the money thing is already front & center so we now have another month to refine our finances, and yes slow & steady winds the race. All very practical my friends & beware the invitations from the debt machine to get sucked in as things are even more stretched in the Global debt systems….and not looking good. So interesting to see how this all comes to a head as we head into 2018 and change agent Uranus heads into Taurus!

Mars into Gemini on Sat April 22nd until June 5th- Will be so good to have Mr Action in an air sign at last hoorah! So tune up your vocal chords and start making plans for planes trains and automobiles to get you out and about especially as he heads into May. Great for networking & getting our message out there with the usual caution to LISTEN and learn rather than just do all the talking, and your permission here is “I am now heard and understood’. Downside may be ‘angry words’ from others…but not us right?

New Moon Weds April 26th @ 6 degrees Taurus – already talked up Taurus above so this is the New Moon to activate our wealth & worth areas. Celebrate the sensual pleasure of Taurus!! Plant gardens and veggies, make love, paint pictures, make music, give & receive massages & love yourself and your world…be grateful.

Here’s a link to a youtube interview I did for inclusion in a series & book on the nature of DESTINY & Fate. I cover core ideas about the Sun & Moon in Astrology and you may find it interesting…hope so!

I am launching my new Membership Program in May once Venus & Mercury are direct and Mars is in Gemini so stay tuned for my first offering…  Love to all Maggie

OK friends we are still deep in ‘Piscesville’ gestating our dreams & intentions for 2017 until March 20th, when El Sol enters Aries & we are free to take definitive action!! Yes the crazy 2017 ride continues as more political events keep us distracted from the main game…namely re-inventing our lives by embracing the fab opportunities from the big 2017 players…Jupiter/Uranus! Keep your focus & stay aligned!

• Sun in Pisces

• Mars into Taurus – March 10th
• Full Moon March 12th – Pisces/Virgo
• Mercury into Aries – March 13th
• Sun into Aries @ Equinox March 20th

• Jupiter square Pluto

You are welcome to book a personal session & please click like on Universal Astro FB page for updates between these letters!

Venus is now retrograde in Aries for 40 days! Her full cycle returns to the same spot every 8 years creating the ROSE pattern! Beautiful synchronicity isn’t it as she is the planet of LOVE & BEAUTY. Her gift now is to build SELF LOVE & courage to step forward in our lives. She asks us to own and value our independent aspirations beyond the expectations of others & release old toxic relating patterns where you are not being valued…yay!

She began her retro on March 4th @ 13 Aries & is free to move forward after May 19th. So for the first 20 days she is ‘Innana the evening star’ as she goes into the ‘dark’ & we no longer see her in the evening sky. This is not a great time to start a love affairs or buy luxury items! Instead keep growing your confidence & self worth to initiate your new beginnings as yes she is in Aries! After March 26th she joins the Sun and becomes ‘Ishtar the Morning Star’ returning from the ‘underworld’ before sunrise, shedding her bountiful light for a prosperous new period.

Here’s the link to my 2017 Global Astrology Report & Horoscopes

March opened with a bang as Mars joined Uranus to oppose Jupiter for the second time and the highly conflicted global story amped up another notch. Their first opposition was in late December 2016 & their final ‘hit’ will be in late September, after which we should see the tensions ease, albeit heaven only knows what’s in store between now and then!

So yes things are uber intense right now & we are all managing lots of things & energies & difficult people et al. So PLEEZE hold your center with lots of positive messages to self & others remembering that we are also working to build new goodies in our lives that will be marvelous!!

In years to come you’ll be able to say you lived through the most exciting & dynamic phase of modern history! Yes the Depression & dictators of the 1930s, McCarthy & communism in the 1950s, Kennedy & King assassinations in the 1960s, Nixon & Watergate in the 1970s were watershed events in their eras. And yep ours will no doubt be remembered as the ‘Trump Year/s’!

The trouble is that when you’re in the midst of the chaos it’s hard to keep the perspective that is only available after the events. This is why I’m always reminding any who will listen to stay OBJECTIVE and simply be aware that we are witnessing a grand battle between forces of which we everyday folks have little true understanding.

I gave a talk last week about the Astrology of 2017 and was asked “what’s going to happen with all this political stuff?”. My answer was “I don’t know!” All I really know is that In terms of the big picture timings of the unfolding cycles of conscious evolution, the battle is really between the unsustainable practices of the old 3D reality program and the birth of the new paradigm sustainable future.  And in this big picture “battle” it sure is the case that 2017 contains all the big ticket global issues “in extremis” …politics /economics/weather…yep Jupiter in Libra opposing Uranus in Aries aren’t mucking around as they amplify the extreme polarization in every level of human & Gaia affairs.

So when we apply psychological principles here we have fruitful territory for our personal growth & evolution. We must own our own inner stress between the part of us who wants to stay attached to the past versus the part of us that is willing to take responsibility for the need to innovate & change…and this can be risky!  Our current social revolution isn’t just about amazing new technologies and robots and faster & better internet speeds. It’s about a global awakening way beyond that!!

I recently had an fascinating chat with one of my yummy ‘daughters’ who informed me she believes that it won’t be long before people will ‘be over’ all this techno stuff, and just want to start writing & learning & interacting with others without all the complexity that makes people so anxious and overwhelmed and socially dysfunctional.

Isn’t that interesting, as this 34 year old lady is realizing that life is so much richer without COMPLEXITY. Yes I know we can’t turn back the clock but maybe she has a point. SIMPLICITY! I’m reminded of the old T.S. Elliot quote that “we shall never cease from exploration until we return from whence we started and know it for the first time”.

Anyway that’s my little rave for this month! Stay in your heart my friends as you keep building your positive lives inspired by being part of our current social revolution toward a conscious world. Stay in gratitude…be kind to self & others…get excited…be aware that wonderful opportunities are right there for the seizing!! Time to check what our planets are up to for the rest of March and into April.

Sun in Pisces until March 20th – Pisces is the final sign of the 12 fold system thus marks the completion of our ‘natural year’. This is why it’s cool to release and let go – take a rest whenever you can – cleanse your body and home – gestate your dreams – use your intuition to connect with your highest nature…and all that stuff!

Venus retro @ 13 Aries – March 4th until April16th but not back to 13 Aries until May 19th – I outlined the basics in the top left column so a few extra points here.  Sometimes Venus retro can bring people back from our past with whom we either need to complete some old karma OR are actually meant to be re-instated in our lives for further growth. Venus also rules money, so apart from not being a time for big expense items it is a time for reviewing your finances and if necessary divesting yourself from joint situations that no longer serve you. Great time for enhancing our self-worth and home renovations may also apply.

Mars into Taurus – March 10th until April 21st – the energy planet is now meant to be directed toward steady practical matters. Money features here also (Taurus is financial) so great time to build your resources. Cool for gardening & art & music & all pleasurable & beautifying pursuits

Full Moon March 12th – 22 degrees Sun Pisces/Virgo Moon – On the upside this is a sweetie full of healing vibes from Chiron with the Sun in Pisces, so use this one to meditate and hang out with healers and visionary people to inspire your own visionary nature. Downside may arrive from Saturn in Sag in hard aspect to the full moon unleashing another big dose of truth & lies scenarios. We can use this to get honest and real about where & how our BELIEFS may be limiting us & to deal with tasks/duties and not just hide under the blankets!

Mercury into Aries – March 13th until April 1st – just a quickie as he’s only in Aries for 2 weeks. Mental and verbal energy is active and may be aggressive here, but upside is confidence to speak up and out to develop your projects and goals.

Sun into Aries @ Equinox March 20th – and so begins our new NATURAL YEAR! One of the simplest ways we can empower our lives is to align our activities with the natural year. Aries is the first sign thus features include ACTION ENTERPRISE INITIALIZING RISK COURAGE BRAVERY. It’s even better to wait until the New Moon in Aries on the 28th for full systems ahead!

• “Wet the baby’s head”…welcome & set your intentions for your new year!
• Own your “right to have a will and assert yourself”
• Get in touch with your heroic brave self  – have adventures – do risky things ‘safely’
• Begin projects and/or commit to initializing new actions in your life
• Register business name or initialize growth plans for existing business

New Moon March 28th @ 7 degrees Aries – The ruler of Aries is Mars who is placed in Taurus on this new moon, thus it’s wise to temper our fresh enterprise and action with very practical foundations. Mars in Taurus likes steady building processes and offers tenacity and strength to your endeavors.

Saturn joins the Galactic Centre @ 27 degrees Sagittarius throughout March & April & for the final pass in late November 2017. The GC is the black hole that emanates the magnetisms for our whole Galaxy & Solar System. It’s so interesting that it’s position in Sagittarius underpins the whole nature of our human nature…the belief systems that drive our evolutionary growth! This is a significant point in Saturn’s cycle as the last time he was here was 1988…the prelude to the massive events of 1989 – fall of Berlin Wall & the arrival of Russia & China into the globalization systems. So are we also currently poised for some really big global re-arrangements from next year when Uranus enters Taurus & Saturn enters Capricorn?

Jupiter in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn @ 19 degrees – They made their first square in Nov 16 with now this one in late March & the final pass is in August 17. Their cycle began in Dec 2007 and was a major factor in the 2008 GFC. So we can expect more challenging plutocratic & economic activity in 2017 with the themes of power, money and resources. Personally we can set big goals.

Here’s a link to a youtube interview I did for inclusion in a series & book on the nature of DESTINY & Fate. I cover core ideas about the Sun & Moon in Astrology and you may find it interesting…hope so! And I am now only weeks away from launching my new Membership Program as Sun enters Aries…yay!

Stay tuned for my first offering… Onward & upward we go my friends – have a fantastic March daring to live your dreams!  Love to all Maggie

LOTS more info & insights re these major shifts in my 2017 Global Report & Horoscopes…

Well folks I said we were in for a crazy ride in 2017 and so far the wildcard unexpected events have totally lived up to expectations!! I  also said that things would go off with a bang on the New Moon in Aqua on 28th as Mars also entered Aries…we sure have entered an unprecedented era in modern history now haven’t we?

So let’s have a look at what’s next in the unfolding reality drama as February brings us

• Sun in Aqua & Mercury into Aqua
• Venus into Aries to join Mars
• Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Feb 11th
• Sun into Pisces Feb 19th
• New Moon Solar Eclipse Feb 27th

It’s a great time to book in for your 2017 year ahead chart

Well kids welcome to a brand new phase in global affairs! The Jupiter in Libra opposite Uranus in Aries forces have unleashed the radical shifts they are notorious for, and many people are reeling at the speed & impact of events over the recent weeks.

I am so aware of consciously holding my center as I observe the many views and opinions and reactions that I am witnessing. The polarization of the Jupiter/Uranus story are front and center right now, so the question becomes how do we manage this stuff and personally find the positive and truly exciting opportunities also on offer in this amazing astroscape?

Ok we’re now in Aquarius time as our Sun moves through the constellation of the Water Carrier.

• This is the 11th stage in our natural year where we invite the innovative  ideas & solutions we’re going to need to activate our lives in 2017
• …so we can initialize our activities when Sun enters Aries
• …and in between gestate and nurture these ideas in Pisces time…got it!

OK let’s unpack this…as they say these days. So right now our focus needs to be on this Aquarian ideas thing as we also say yes to change even if it makes us a little uncomfortable. For many this change urge is massive hence the chaotic unpredictable features ‘out there’, so yes we all need to re-invent ourselves over the next 10 months and take some risks to do this. And we have great support from Saturn in this process to affect expansion & change with practical & steady progress…don’t forget this!

Remember that woven into our current social fabric is fear and uncertainty! Indeed this is the essence of the old 3D Reality program, and right now these carefully orchestrated events are amplifying this to peak expression!! I see this as a time bringing things to a crescendo – like an ultimate opportunity to really get this  limiting old ‘control tape’. So what happens if we’re not frightened? Liberation. This is the true essence of Aquarius my friends, where we are free to tap into unlimited Mind and become a conduit for fab and rad new solutions that will fuel the true renaissance unfolding in these chaotic times.

Aquarius offers us the highest point of the humanitarian, collective, we are all one, principle.  So it’s not surprising that the immigration/refugee issues are front and center, albeit still being woefully misunderstood, or responsibility taken for why we live in a bounteous world where so many have so little, and suffer from the actions of war makers.

Aquarius rules politics and global systems and we expect a lot of our politicians. They are meant to have ready answers to the very problems they have created. I’ve been very open over the years in sharing the belief that there is a rather nefarious global elite group who set policy behind the scenes and then use political and media and banking systems toward an end goal of ‘global domination’.  So right now I encourage you all to keep a very open mind and objective position as we watch this latest installment of the chess game.

It’s been obvious for decades now that no matter how gracious and charming or rude and belligerent a leader may be they are all serving either themselves or their masters…or both. This is why Aquarius also takes us beyond politics and into community.  ‘Be the change that you wish to see in the world.’ said Mahatma Gandhi as he midwifed the birth of his country during times of massive change and conflict.

It is through our personal commitment to giving birth to healthy community social enterprise that we can bypass the political and financial crap they have created! On that note here are Gandhi’s 10 rules for Changing the World: VERY COOL bless him!

1. Change yourself. “You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
2. You are in control. “Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”
3. Forgive and let it go. “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” “An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”
4. Without action you aren’t going anywhere. “An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
5. Take care of this moment. “I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.”
6. Everyone is human. “I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”
7. Persist. “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
8. See the good in people and help them. “I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.” “Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.” “I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.”
9. Be congruent, be authentic, be your true self. “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” “Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”
10. Continue to grow and evolve. ”Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.”

As peacemaker Venus joins Mars in Aries on Feb 4th we get to choose to create inner & outer HARMONY in the midst of fear and conflict!! She is at her best here when our confidence ‘attracts’ others for mutual growth…remember ‘we get more bees with honey’!

And with Mars still firing up all sorts of aggressive stuff it’s SO IMPORTANT not to buy into personal and global dramas my friends, as in such polarized times arguing the point is a no win situation and just keeps perpetrating the collective conflicted tensions…but we’re not doing that are we???!!! Keep your focus and don’t get distracted by all the shite!!

Messenger Mercury joins the Sun in Aquarius on Feb 7th…hoorah!! OMGoddess I am so over Mercury and his very long haul through Capricorn since early December…yes he did his retrograde here and it’s been a tad tiresome…albeit productive.SO now the Messenger God is free to be as clever and inventive as he likes after all that worry and serious stuff! I love Mercury in Aqua as our minds can free range into all manner of out of the box connections and inventive stuff. He’s here until late Feb when he then glides into Pisces.

OK so now we need to have a look at the February Eclipses – the first of which is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on Feb 11th (Fri or Sat depending on your zone). So the Sun in Aqua opposes the Moon in Leo @ 22 degrees. This is first of the Leo/Aqua eclipses over the next 18 months with echoes back to 1998/9…the previous 19 year cycle. This brings us major political (Aqua) and leadership (Leo) scenarios & with Jupiter in Libra + Saturn in Sagittarius + Uranus in Aries in strong connection with the eclipse, we can expect more unpredictable bits playing out in the 2017 drama (don’t forget you can mute the control on your TV & Media exposure!)

Especially when we look back on previous cycles in 1998/9 – 1979/80 – 1961/2 – 1952/3 – 1943/4 & 1934/5. I love my job! It’s always such fun when I do my research and find these amazing correlations. In each case we’ve had major economic/political dramas & the arising of new phases. The 1934/5 eclipses connects with the last time Jupiter/Libra opposed Uranus/Aries. Bells & whistles?

BTW this Lunar Eclipse is all over Mr Trump as his SUN plus Uranus in Gemini & MOON opposite in Sag are lit up exactly! OMG this is the ultimate stage he’s been aspiring for all his life!! We don’t know if he’s going to crash & burn over the next 10 months…whether he is the stooge being set up by the Elite when they decide to create the next GFC & it will be his fault…whether he’s brought in the Goldman Sachs swamp people because he owes them so much money…whether he is going for the ultimate prize of complete control in his own right…or whether he really has the best interests of us all in his heart & he’s going to break the Global Elite system. FASCINATING!

Please don’t forget that everyone has their own opinion here, hence the furious controversy game being waged by the media. So it’s very cool not to buy in to the drama! Our job in 2017 is to hold the space of PEACE and CO-OPERATION inspired by knowing that we are simply passing through the ‘eye of the needle’ between the past & the future!  We are in such a similar time as the French & American Revolutions when people also said no to immoral & exploitive practices.  Kings lost their heads then and nations were born. No doubt about it we are living in interesting times!

So how do we use this personally I hear you ask? OK so eclipses are portals that energetically align SUN MOON EARTH to upgrade the Matrix to create new levels of consciousness. This one is cool as it stimulates our urge for change and innovation (Uranus)  but we also know it’s cool to do this carefully (Saturn). It also offers direct stimulation to get thoughts & ideas moving but at the same time it’s wise to wait for a few weeks after the eclipse to actually take action. Ideally we open new activity after the Sun moves into Aries on March 21st – this is launch date or our new natural year.

Lunar eclipses are very emotionally reactive at the best of times but never more so than when in Aqua/Leo! Yep it’s cool to avoid direct confrontation over coming weeks, even if you are really angry about current events. Instead we can use these forces to give ourself permission to open new directions and invite wonderful partners to join us. Expect the unexpected! If you have planets around 22 degrees of fixed signs…Taurus/Leo/Scorpio/Aquarius your life is about to open a new era….and it’s very exciting. Moon in Leo can bring new levels of acknowledgement and Sun in Aqua allows us to affect society for positive conscious change!

Ah then we have our Sun moving into the sublime and inspirational sign of Pisces on Feb 19th. This is the final sign of the 12-fold Zodiac process and signals the completion of our natural year. Ideally we are meant to release the past cycle, distill the best of our experiences to take forward with us, and gestate our dreams and inspiration for the year ahead. So sage or purify your home, take lots of mineral baths to cleanse your aura and take time to rest & reflect as much as you can. We create our reality via our imagination & psychic projections so this is a great time to create your ‘vision board’ for what you wish to manifest after March 21st when Sun enters Aries and our new year truly begins! Your mantra is “I go with the flow inspired that I am creating the reality that I deserve”.

Meanwhile we also have the Solar Eclipse @ 8 degrees Pisces coming up on Feb 27th. This is the last of the Pisces/Virgo eclipses over the last 18 months. And yep there’s some bells & whistles on this one also. With Jupiter & Uranus performing their 2nd opposition joined by Mars in Aries we have another dose of wildcard activity for disruption of global affairs…”danger danger Will Robinson.” Take it as easy as possible in late Feb my friends as you also respond to some fab incoming opportunities!

Things are speedy now so once again the caution is to not make life changing decisions over coming weeks as they may be driven by frustration…just watch for incoming signals!! Uranus liberates old stuck patterns, Jupiter says be wise & Saturn says be realistic. The really big opportunity here offers us a personal upgrade in our conscious growth so we make a positive contribution to a more enlightened world.

I am heartened by expert Astrologer Bernadette Brady’s reading of this Eclipse Cycle – “This is a family of eclipses that brings with it the element of the pleasant surprise. Sudden happiness, a joyful event, the lucky break, the lucky win. The events which will be occurring can be believed and can positively change the person’s life”. We can feel the effect of Eclipses for a month or so proceeding then they are affective for 6 months until the second set in August 2017.

Have a fabulous February my friends as the winds of change swirl around us turning us in interesting new directions!! Love to all Maggie
