A Saturn return can mean great things or frustrations. If you’re between 26 and 50, you need to be prepared.

Make a tinfoil sculpture. Donate your change to a cause you've never heard of. Write a love letter on a postcard and mail it to someone you've never met. Write a love letter on a postcard and mail it to yourself. Offer to knit a sweater for the neighbor's dog. Re-arrange the furniture. Put some bean sprouts in your peanut butter sandwich. Meditate in a sports bar.

Do something different. Make it fun. Make it kind. Mostly, just do something different.

Astrology For Life On Earth

I’ve no idea what to get this friend of mine for her 30th birthday. She is into everything bit nothing really sticks out. Thanks for your tips.

Last night on The Soul’s Journey radio show 5 other members of Steven Forrest’s Apprenticeship Program joined me live on the air to discuss evolutionary astrology. Topics include how this way of looking at charts and people has opened doors into self-understanding and improved our lives, the nodes of the Moon, Pluto, and 1st-7th and [...]

Asc conjunct pluto in chart. We both are not from the city but for work he now is near the area of our first date sometimes. The date did seem like fate in a way which I didn’t expect. The days leading up to our first date (we were texting for a while before dating) I would get an extremely strong urge to check the time, and it would be at exactly 9:11 and then it kept happening, and my date’s birthday happened to end up being 9/11 which I found out later (on which he mentioned he didn’t like). On weekends he stays at another city at a different state and the relocation chart on that city is actually difficult there, it said that he wouldn’t be into groups and things like that there among many other aspects, and he did say that he didn’t like how there’s so many cliques there.

This super-charged full moon in Sagittarius on 25th May highlights issues related  to archetypes such as the Teacher, the Philosopher and the Judge. We are urged to take a look at the bigger picture in life and to share our experiences with those in need.
On the opposite side, we have the Sun, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter in Gemini (with the last 3 in conjunction with one another) , giving us mental dexterity in abundance.  However, this eclipse is in a tight T-Square with Neptune.  This mutable T-Square provides us with learning opportunities to tune into the creative and healing energy of Neptune rather than succumbing to mental confusion and scampering away from the situation.  
The dispositors of the Sun (Mercury) and Moon (Jupiter) are both in Gemini, further reinforcing the need to communicate with others and  to check all the basic facts to avoid any misunderstandings. 
This lunar eclipse is at 4 degrees 8 minutes Sagittarius with an orb of 3 degrees.  Look in your natal chart for planets, angles and points between 1 degree 8 minutes to 7 degrees 8 minutes in mutable signs (Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces).  
Where does this lunar eclipse fall in your chart?

The Sun is very active and this is the year of the solar maximum. More than just an astronomical event, this creates spikes of excitability that has been noted by researchers. It's rather wild timing, what with the square of Uranus and Pluto exact (Monday).

The tension of that square -- to break down and re-form -- meets the power of the solar flare as a catalyst. Keep in mind, squares form a third creation. With the Uranus-Pluto square, there is a revisioning of how to live on Earth. Uranus is the planet of awakening, with downloads of new energies. And solar flares seem to be activating as well, for the whole being - even physically.

Today the Earth gets a glancing blow from on of the four X (highest) flares -- see Spaceweather. There's also a high probability of more to come. The geomagnetic field is the one to watch and on this NOA Solar Data site it reads unsettled. It's possible it will read Storm! at some point today, or the next few days.

I came across an article by Michael Forrester called, Increasing Solar Activity and Disturbances in Earth's Magnetic Field Affect Our Behavior and Increase Our Health. Though it's from 2012, It's a great overview of the Sun's activity -- the levels of flares, the 11-year solar cycle, the solar maximum (2013) and even how it relates to spontaneous manifestation.

Forrester points out a study by A.L. Tchijevsky, a 19th-century Russian scientist, who studied solar flaring and human response over hundreds of years. (from 500 B.C. to 1922 A.D.) Says Forrester, "He (Tchijevsky) investigated the histories of 72 countries in that period, noting signs of human unrest such as wars, revolutions, riots, expeditions and migrations, plus the number of humans involved. Tchijevsky found that fully 80% of the most significant events occurred during the years of maximum sunspot activity. He maintained that the "exciting" period may be explained by an acute change in the nervous and psychic character of humanity, which takes place at sunspot maxima."

There are real reasons to be alert, and listen to your body. One is the link between suicide and solar maximums. Earth watchers are on alert for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

But Forrester notes that for some, there is a silver lining, and that's a quickening of the power to recreate their lives. He writes, "The interesting fact about this energy is that since it is of a higher frequency it creates the power of instant manifestation of our thoughts, which means whatever we think, we create instantly. This never before happened in our lifetime and that is why many people are writing books on the subject on the Power of Attraction."

Suggestions:

• Watch your thoughts -- look for ways to divert away from shame spirals, and dark imaginings about the future.
• Go barefoot -- imagine the energy moving down through the body and into the Earth.
• Avoid crowded, bad vibe places or personalities that jar you.
• Exercise supreme self-care, altering your schedule if necessary.
• Find the catalyst portals and send off your burning impressions -- the vision of your highest self.
• Watch loved ones for signs of temporary insanity, edginess and depression.
• Keep it simple, slow down, turn off background noise.

Leo and Aquarius are opposites, but they both stand apart from the crowd.

The art establishment's favourite entrepreneur is on the radio this morning, so I thought I'd repost a piece I wrote about him. It made me laugh again, but that is part of Hirst's charm.

  The last thing you want to do is take care of a bunch of chores. You'd rather rest, relax, and dream the day away. Go ahead and obey this impulse, provided others won't be neglected. If you have to pick up a child from practice or meet a friend for lunch, set an alarm. [...]

Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes. So with that in mind, here are some lucky numbers that can be used in any helpful way. I gazed into a pool of water, Nostradamus-like, and contemplated the cosmos. Then I mixed the tarot cards and allowed the spirits to guide me to the cards that represent the lucky numbers for this week. Nothing is guaranteed but who knows ....? I choose eight numbers because 8 is the number of wealth. Here are the lucky numbers for the week of May 17-24, 2013:

Do you hear a knock on your door of opportunity this week? Sun and Mercury enter Gemini now. Don’t be coy. Take a good idea and make it great. Make your mark based on a mere hunch. Prepare for sparks of genius. Or whatever....

At the beginning of the week you will need to be adaptable and focus on sorting out any pressing matters whatever they may be. There may be some challenges which can test your mettle this week, exercise good judgement keep to the facts and find solutions which suit everyone involved. Independence is important this week therefore create a balance between home and work, you may feel the need to spend quality time with friends and family, and to make amends by healing any rifts. Try to avoid careless or casual behaviour, remember in life your fate will not come to meet you - you must go to it. Work related learning and apprenticeships look promising this week, there are also people around you that are able to offer knowledge and experience. It may be beneficial to share your work with a colleague/ partner this week. Plus consider when happiness or sadness enters your life, you invited it in, its not that fortune or misfortune has befallen you, be grateful for what you have, dont dwell on what you have not. If you want changes in your life it is up to you to make them, put the past behind you and move forward to a new beginning, it is your own fear of acknowledging your accountability for the course of your life that leads you to blame fate for what befalls you. Take pride in what you have achieved and accept the feedback others give you graciously. Look around you this week and take advantage of what Mother Nature offers.
