Astrology with the Tarot Connection: The Death Card

Part One

Astrology and Tarot are ancient intuitive, sacred, insight and inner guidance systems.
These symbol systems reveal the spiritual, energetic and emotional states that are universal in our collective consciousness. The symbols, images and pictures depicted on the card decks and on an astrology natal chart are archetypal. These visual representations are symbolic of the life journey that we share in common.

Part Two

The emotional and soul searching turbulence that has erupted in this month, didn’t just start with the current elections, socio-political winners or losers. The questions of group polarization along the lines of so called race(actually there can only be one race, human) gender, economic, colorism, and any other divisive labels are the symptoms of spiritual sickness. The ghosts and unresolved specters of ugliness in human beliefs, have arisen from the collective past.

New Moon in Scorpio: "Fire in Ice"

10/29/2016

On October 29 a New Moon in Scorpio with its lunar effect extending into the 30th- 31st, brings us the depth of emotional experiences and intense feelings that may be desired, or not.

Perhaps you have never heard of Scorpio as being referred to as “fire in ice”. Yes, Scorpio is one of the water signs, but it is the kind of water that is fierce and intense. This is the torrential rains which blow with hurricane force winds, creates ocean waves that crash on the rocks, and brings forth the rushing magnificence of beautiful waterfalls.

Scorpio is where we have the opportunity to take a step into the experience of transforming places in our lives that have just been kind of "hanging on". With this New Moon, here’s the perfect moment to choose just one thing that needs releasing.

Lunar Light for the Journey

10/14/2016

The Full Moon in Aries rises between October 15-16, it offers us an opportunity to approach things from a fresh, and perhaps new perspective.

Here we are graced with the “Harvest Full Moon,” the peak of the lunar cycle that began September 1st with the New Moon. Let’s bring this to a personal level with some questions. What situations, circumstances, relationships, ideas, or projects have come full circle? What and where is attention needed to complete and finished what was started awhile ago?

This Moon is an opportunity to look deep into the meaning of why you have chosen or not, to create and/ or complete a particular thing. This is the time to create an inner dialogue with self. Also we would do well to check the way we communicate with other people in our daily interactions.

It’s time to embrace the eagerness of the Aries energy, to bring awareness and conscious direction to the areas of life where you have been wondering what to do. Here are some areas, in particular, which might benefit from MoonSight.

Part Two: 12 Ways to be the “Star Navigator” of Your Life

10/11/2016

Here are 12 ways your might use the stars to navigate your life. To help us learn how to use Star Navigation, we are going to put this in the context and reference of the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse. The energetic effect of the Eclipse will be felt for some time to come.

With these two events occurring in the sign of Pisces, which is connected to the Neptune ruling the 12th house that operates as the “hidden self”, we have a chance to delve into the realm of deep insight, and personal self awareness. Each of us at this time, is intuitively and also directly, tuned into the areas of life where we need to release, let go, surrender, and most all trust that the Universe is always willing, ready and able to bring our greatest and deepest desires into manifestation.

This Moon and Eclipse is providing each of us an opportunity to look deep into our unconscious, and see the habitual emotional and life patterns which “shadow” our lives.

12 Ways to be the “Star Navigator” of Your Life: Part One

10/10/2016

The Month of September was a cosmically powerful month with both a Solar and Lunar Eclipses being featured at the New and Full Moons, with the signs of Virgo and Pisces. We also were entertained by slippery and earthy Mercury in Virgo retrograde until September 22, when the Fall Equinox gracefully came over the horizon.

This is perhaps a time to remember the summer “haze and daze”, and to ponder how to move forward toward the dark cover of winter. It’s a time to check where we need to call forth balance in our lives.

Each of the cosmic events mentioned above are part of a very sophisticated super GPS that each one of us has for life guidance and navigation. As we look around at all the circumstances, situations, relationships and events happening, which seem to be in a total jumble, we might ask, “What’s happening? Are the Stars fickled and flighty, and do they just love messing with our lives? The answer is no.

The Equinox, Lunar Rhythms and The Frame Drum

10/4/2016

I recorded this brief video blog as a way to mark the energetic shift of the Equinox. The Equinox is the time of the year that brings us into a more contemplative space. So how does this planetary shift affect each one of us? Astrologically, we each experience this movement in terms of our own inner awareness, and through daily life events manifesting uniquely for each of us.

The cycles of movement with the seasons, and the regularity of the Moon’s constant changes is really a mirror of what takes place within each person. Our birth “Life Map” is an energetic representation of the unique vibratory frequency that each of us possesses. Whether we understand or even think about it, we are in constant dialogue with Cosmic and planetary movement through vibratory sound frequencies.

Yes we are all connected to this cosmic vibratory grid. Energetically we’re each sending and receiving unique vibrations. The Equinox marks the shift and tendency to feel a pull toward the inner world within the self This is a Lunar experience with the need to be more introspective and self-reflective.

One of the most powerful and ancient ways that we as humans seem to interact with the cosmic and planetary movements, is by using sound as a means of signaling our connection with these introspective changes. Have you noticed a difference in your emotional and physical responses to the shift of the days growing shorter, and in some locations the weather getting colder? Even if you live in a place where Nature doesn’t have much fall or autumn weather changes, we can still feel this deep shift in our collective DNA.

Sounding, toning, chanting, music making, dancing and drumming all seem to stir deep feelings and needs to create rituals, sacred journeys, and spiritual vision quests. This seasonal change appears to connects us with a quieting and turning inward process.

Also we seems to have a deep, primal, and intuitive need to experience community with others. Giving voice through sound also seems to be at the heart of our acknowledgement of the bountifulness from Mother Earth .

I believe that every season, element, planet and sign has and is an sound and energetic frequency. Personally, the drum is one of my favorite instruments because it’s fun to play, and also it’s related to the first sound that each one of us experienced. The first drum we ever heard was the heartbeat of our mothers.

Of course my personal preference and fascination is with the frame drum, because it speaks so directly of Earth wisdom, creativity, and to re-claiming and re-balancing the Lunar Feminine energy needed in our world.

So why not take a little time to reset your inner harmony, balance, and Soul connection with your own unique Sound. Each one of us is a note in the “Music of the Spheres.”

Enjoy the Rhythms in the Key of Life.

Astro Magically Yours,

Ruth

Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse In Pisces: Diving Deep

9/19/2016

On September 16, a Full Moon in Pisces and Lunar Eclipse gives us the ability to look deeper at what is, and the opportunity to experience the illumination of what was started at the dark of the new Moon. The energetic attunement of the Moon actually starts on the 14th.

Do consider this fabulous opportunity, to call on your own Muse, for some deep insight and life guidance because you might just find what you’ve been seeking..

Symbolically and literally, this Full Moon offers us a chance to peer into the our own psyches with discernment about the inner nature of one’s personal past, and perhaps gain some understanding of future possibilities for yourself.

The Lunar Eclipse is like an energetic time continuum. It is a portal between our conscious outer self, while the Moon gives a light beam into the collective unconscious realm.

New Moon in Virgo: The Seer

9/1/2016

Our New Moon in Virgo features a solar eclipse on September 1st. Many people are asking “what’s the significance of the eclipse?"

According to the eminent astrologer and astrological scholar, Dane Rudhyar, who describes the solar eclipse as the “present time being overshadowed by the past”. In other words, whatever aspects of the self that have been hidden in some way, rises to the surface from the depths of the unconsciousness mind.

Since this New Moon and eclipse are in the sign of Virgo, here’s the question to consider for the next 6 months. What area of your life needs to be retrieved, separated from, wiped clean, and shaken loose from the past?
