Mercury in Libra Sep 1st 2011, 10:00 Quality and Element: Mercury Themes: eloquent speaker, charming, peacemaker, diplomacy, soothing voice, sympathetic, mingler, flirty, harmonizer Possible Challenges: mental laziness, indecisiveness, people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, procrastination, over-intellectualizing Famous People with Mercury in Libra: Hilary Duff, Nico, Stephen King, Susan Sarandon, Evan Rachel Wood, Leonard Cohen, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Clive Owen, David Copperfield, Jeremy Irons, Will Smith, Gwyneth Paltrow, Christopher Reeve, k.d. lang, Carrie Fisher, Richard Gere, Marc Anthony The Libra Mentality: Those with Mercury in Libra have the ability to see an issue from all sides. This is where their reputation for diplomacy comes from. Sometimes they're elevated to the status of official peacemaker, known to be able to bring harmony to chaos. Because they often have an innate sense of fairness, it's easier for conflicting parties to trust their intentions. This same gift of seeing all the options and sides can make them indecisive, which can be exasperating to those around them. The delay comes from wanting to weigh the pros and cons carefully, to follow the best course. But if they take too long to decide, sometimes an opportunity passes them by. They're very easy-going and the best people to meet at parties. They're warm and able to offset any social awkwardness with their charm. You might call Mercury in Libra the smooth operator of Mercury signs. Oftentimes their voices are distinctive in some way, which gives them talent as speakers or performers. Mercury in Libras love harmony so much, that at times they'll run around conflict to avoid it. This can create all kinds of neuroses and confusing relations with others. It comes from an actual fear of the boat being rocked, since that state makes them very uncomfortable. A challenge is learning that it's okay to disagree, and that a lot of friction can be tolerated in a relationship when there's a basic respect. Mercury in Libra are synthesizers and bridge builders, whether its merging people or ideas, as with writers born under this Mercury sign. As an air sign, there's a clarity of thought that allows them to be the big picture people. And being cardinal, the initiative is there to actively assert their ideas into the world. They may restore balance in every area of life they touch -- from their own personal sphere, to the public stage through activism, social justice, the Arts, writing, speaking, etc.

Astrology: What's Hot Now: Full Moon Ritual

Astrology: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Full Moon Ritual Sep 1st 2011, 10:00 The monthly lunar cycle gives you many chances to do rituals to mark a personal turning point or let go. At the New Moon, you can go into the dark and be symbolically reborn. New Moon rituals help you summon your whole Self, and in that magic moment, commit to intentions. At the full Moon, the energy builds and builds....there's an explosive outgoing aspect to it. All of nature grows and is more vital at the full Moon. This surge allows you to take action on behalf of those new Moon intentions you set two week prior. A full Moon ritual might involve taking one solid step, with a symbolic action. And it can be a powerful time to release, cast out, unburden yourself, purge, etc. You celebrate your emergence by stepping out of an old skin, identity, behavior, attitude, relationship. The ritual helps you by marking this inner transformation in a formal way. A full Moon ritual might involve purification by one of the elements. Most often, it's fire, and done by casting something you don't want into the flames. One idea: 1) Write what you're releasing down on a stick. 2) resolve to let go as you throw it into the fire. 3) Throw the stick into the fire. This can be done as a group, with everyone sitting 'round the fire...or in your own private ceremony. Each person can seal their action of letting go by speaking it aloud, if there's trust in the circle. Water can be used to cleanse in rituals. I remember a very meaningful full Moon ceremony I had at my house with three other women. We had filled a blue bowl with water and some rose petals. Each of us wrote down what we wanted to draw into our lives on a piece of paper. After we read them aloud, we put our hands in the bowl to signify the cleansing of the old, to open to the new. It's still one of my favorite memories. Mainly it worked because we all trusted each other to be open hearted and share our dreams. When that's there, you can evoke the magic of shifting consciousness at will because the support is palpable. Full Moon Release Ritual Items you'll need: Floating candles, a large bowl, water, matches, a pen. 1. Create sacred space with candles, sage smudging, and setting up altars with powerful totems. For some rituals, I'll use an owl's wing that a friend gave me, to represent wisdom. 2. If possible, stand or sit under the Moon. Allow yourself to feel a direct relationship to it, as a mover of the living waters of the Earth and within our own bodies. 3. Do a grounding exercise, to bring you out of the chatter of small talk and into ritual space. Feel the earth under your feet and shake out the tension in the body. 4. Place the large water-filled bowl in front of you, or in the middle of your gathering on a table. 5. Each person writes what they're releasing on the floating candle. It's not important that it shows up, just that the intention is there. 6. As you place the candle into the bowl, declare what you're releasing. 7. Light the candle. 8. Allow yourself to feel the transfer of what you're releasing to the candle. As a group focus on letting go into the water, holding hands if that feels right. 9. Celebrate this release by sharing a feast under the full Moon! Allow the candle to keep burning in the bowl as a symbol of the letting go process. The flame is a purifier, and symbolizes the sparks of inspiration as well. If you blow out your floating candle, and your bowl is in your home, relighting it will remind you of your commitment. Place inspiring pictures and totems around it that remind you of who you're becoming. Above all, give yourself kudos for honoring your own growth.

Moon in Virgo Sep 1st 2011, 10:00 The Moon sets the emotional tone as it transits through the Zodiac signs. It changes signs every 2 1/2 days. You can work with this rhythm to "go with the flow" of the Moon. You can use it to know the general feeling tone to expect. In mutable earth sign Virgo, the mood is geared toward busy productivity and adjusting with minor tweaks here and there. It favors clearing, refining, purging, detox-ing and organizing. It favors launching self-improvement schemes. Your steps may be more purposeful, and this helps you with tasks that require patience and focus on details. You can get into a zen-like groove of action, so mundane tasks like cleaning don't seem so laborious. You want to be working and seeing signs of tangible effort. The Moon in Virgo favors big tasks that are time-consuming and require concentration. Activities like gardening (especially weeding and pruning), de-cluttering, cleaning closets and other storage areas and catching up on chores. Mental puzzles, games and reading satisfy the active mind under a Virgo Moon. Conversations are full of everyday analysis of events and people, sometimes critical or fault-finding. Practical solutions come now, and it's easier to break goals down into steps. This fleeting transit puts health on the radar, and is a good time to look at your daily routine. It favors refinements to diet or exercise, so that the body system functions better. Some power actions under a Moon in Virgo: drink lots of water, fast, stretch, walk or jog, volunteer, add finishing touches, write or edit, give and take some constructive criticism, encourage a loved one to keep trying, de-toxify your home or work space, bring order to chaos, use discernment, refine your routine.

Astrology: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Mars Capricorn Aug 30th 2011, 10:00 Mars in Capricorn needs great mountains to climb in life. You come alive when there's resistance, and show enormous strength in pursuit of your goals. You are self-controlled and don't take orders well from others. You step into leadership early in life, and carry an air of authority. You can take the attitude that the "ends justify the means," which can lead down the path of ruthlessness. You aim for mastery in your chosen field, and keep your eyes on the highest prize. You are even-handed, thorough and persistent. If your feathers are ruffled, you don't get mad...you get even by being an even greater success. Wealth and status can be motivators, but so can leaving a lasting legacy that you're proud of. You don't like to reinvent the wheel, preferring to build on traditions that have proven enduring. You have the ability to envision a realistic end result, and work tirelessly to achieve it. Your sexual nature is earthy and powerful. You take your commitments seriously, though you retain a sense of proud autonomy in relationships. You may not be emotional or affectionate, but you have a core sensuality that's palpable and attractive to those you meet. For you, power is an aphrodisiac, and you're drawn to those that enhance yours, or exhibit it themselves.
