We are approaching a Full Moon in Aquarius as well as a lunar eclipse August 5th at about 8:30 pm east coast time. The eclipse is to be at 13' Aquarius, so it is a good idea to keep an eye on any planets that revisit this degree in the next six months. It is also good to look at your natal chart to see where the eclipse will fall.
Planetary aspects highlight a renewed interest in recycling in various ways - consignment, salvage, second hand shops, as well as folks that know how to network within these realms. I hear and see people questioning their buying habits and seeking creative ways to obtain what is needed. I also feel that people that have good networking skills will do very well in this so-called recession. I am excited to see how things change and evolve....
The next 24-48 hours is good for clearing, cleaning, meditating and releasing that which is no longer needed.
I hope this blog finds you all happy and healthy....God Bless this wondrous planet that we share!

Solar Eclipse 29' Cancer
Hello stargazers! On July 21 at about 1030 pm EST there will be a solar eclipse at 29' Cancer. This eclipse promises to be potent, with the before/after effects felt 3 days before and 3 days after the event. This eclipse is of the longest duration that we will see in our lifetime - more than six minutes at totality!
An eclipse such as this always brings forth in my a deeper sense of awe, it feels almost as if the earth stands still and all creatures upon it hold their breath until it passes. I feel a kinship to my ancestors, who stood and watched this same amazing event since the beginning of time. We are able to predict these astronomical events to the exact degree, location, date and time with stunning accuracy....how does that happen? how does such synchronicity arise? what creates all of the magic before us? whatever it is, my heart yearns to Feel it....to Be it....to live in and as this Great Mystery.
Astrologically speaking, this eclipse feels like it helps with emotions, set in the watery, nurturing, emotional sign of Cancer. A planet at 29' is said to be at the end of it's rope. I speak to so many people that are feeling a keen sense of something ending, but not quite connecting yet to what is beginning. May the eclipse help to catalzye parts of your life that may be stale or in need of recharing or perhaps even a moving on!
God Bless and love to everyone...

Eclipse July 7th
Hello friends....this Tuesday July 7th we will have a lunar eclipse at 15' Capricorn at 4:21 am EST. The eclipse occurs during a full moon, while the sun is opposite at 15' Cancer. The eclipse will help to expose the shadow side of government, finance, politics. It is potentized by Jupiter and Neptune in Aquarius.
I feel much change in the air, beginning with the time around the passing of Michael Jackson and a few other celebrities with the Pluto square shaking things up. Changes continue and are inevitable; the question is, how will you handle change when it comes upon you? We seem to have a lot of events in the news that reveal what has been happening under the surface, ie politicians cheating, financiers taking our money. We are beginning to see more clearly what is really going on; secrets can no longer be kept. We can thank Pluto in Capricorn for helping government to come more into alignment with what is right and good. It will take time, but the effort will be worth it.
So this brings up the question, where in your life are you less than honest? not accurate? wishing to hide? and more importantly, why?
True existence begins when we are clear, honest and share what is happening within and without. This is one of the reasons that I love the tv show called "Weeds." Secrets come out. The ways people hide are revealed. Life goes on. We can be who we truly are, without wasting energy with hiding. Truly, we can only meet our fellow humans when we share from a space that is real, vulnerable, honest.
I will be writing again as we approach the solar eclipse of 7/22/09....namaste, friends.

Solstice and New Moon
Hello, friends! Today we experience what is known as the dark moon, the time period when the sight of the moon escapes us, until its reappearance tomorrow, at the solstice. This is span of time that is supportive of inner growth and journaling, self reflection, in preparation of what is to come.
Folks have been asking me what I think of the economy. While I have no definite answers, I would like to share that I feel very good about Pluto being in Capricorn: it is clearing things out from our governmental structures, allowing things to be seen so they can be clarified. I do not believe that things 'have to get worse before they get better." I feel that the key is not to avoid hard times or challenges, but to examine the way you confront them, work with them, move through them. I also feel that the news is not a nurturing, accurate, or positive way to 'feed' the self on a daily basis, and suggest that you exercise caution about what you believe. I just finished watching Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine", where he addresses this issue quite well!
Saturn has been moving through detail-oriented Virgo since September 2007. I feel this has offered up opportunity to examine the details of your life related to body-mind issues that get in the way of feeling Happiness: they have probably been in your face! This cycle feels like it calls us to be more self-reflective; if not, there are consequences. Saturn moves into relational Libra in October, where it will stay for about two years. I feel this cycle will focus much more on what we can share with the world, concern for others, for what is right, fair, True. It will be more about personal expression, as body mind patterns have had attention and hopefully much clearing!
The summer solstice takes place on June 21, 2009 at 10:46 pm. We slip from spring into summer, the sun shifts into Cancer. This feels like a wondrous day to do creative visualization, and to employ prayer for changes you may wish to begin in your life.
Best wishes for a good summer, friends, and God Bless you.

Mercury Retrograde May 7-May 31
Hello friends,
Yes, indeed, Mercury is now retrograde in the sign of Gemini, signaling a time period to slow down, double check communication and plans, and pause as much as possible! In the recent years, our society has begun moving so fast.....communication takes place at lightening speed with the advent of texting and IM'ing, and people share their words and ideas globally via blogs and websites on the internet. Our attention spans are shrinking from the length of a full movie to the blip of a spot on you-tube. There is nothing wrong with this, however, it is helpful to slow oneself down, to bring oneself back into the body, in order to fully Feel through this life.
There are standard defenitions of Mercury Retrograde as something to be feared, of a time when communications and technology break down. I feel that a deeper meaning may be to see this time period as a space of coming into balance, an opportunity to re-align oneself from personal will into Universal will. Some may call it Surrender.
I believe Mercury Retrograde is a gift, and one that can show us where we are 'off'' or need to come into balance in our lives. It can show us what is missing, or point out what is needed. In addition, it can bring magical moments into your life, bringing people from the past (and not necessarily this life but others!).
I urge you to take a less-personal view of Mercury Retrograde, it is not out to 'get' you. What a wonder it is, to be abe to communicate with another, thoughts words and ideas. Mercury guides these areas, and as such, has the job of pointing out where we may need to realign.
A lower use of Mercury would be to see it through fear and separation, to assume you need protection from something outside yourself. I would say....allow it to be a possibility....that Merury can be a gift, a call to Oneness through the clear sharing of oneself.....a lessening of separation through true listening to another to feel and hear their experience.
I'm Jane Robinson and thank you for joining me for this blog about Mercury Retrograde. May you enjoy the gifts of communication that is aligned to your true self, your deepest self.

Spring Equinox
Welcome to the advent of the Spring season here in the northern hemisphere! The vibe across this great land of ours is hopefull as friends and neighbors dust off patio furniture, shops for seeds, survey their yard for the upcoming season, and begin making plans for the future. This is a time of beginning, of hope, of planning, of looking forward and being present in this moment, all at once. We are taking the learnings and experiences of our winter, and finding a context in which to place those experiences as we move forward. Where I live, we had a number of snowstorm bursts this year, and the cold weather has runs its course, as many of us are more than ready for flowers and short sleeves!
Venus, the planet that calls our attention to love and relationships, beauty and fairness, the appreciation for the arts, and issues with women, has moved retrograde until mid-April. This will more deeply affect persons born under the signs of Taurus and Libra, as this is your ruling planet.
The Sun has moved into Aries, indiciating a time for beginnings, for a fresh start. Energy may be high or polarized towards certain life areas - be sure to check for balance in your life, in all areas. This week, Mercury will join the Sun in Aries, as well as the New Moon on 3/26. This buildup of planets in Aries - the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury - will square Pluto in Capricorn. It is a good time to take a risk, begin something new, clear your life/work space, begin affirmations and the like. I would like to just again mention the need for balance in all things, to remember to take pause amongst the haste, to connect with nature, look at the stars, engage your meditation practices.
My name is Jane Robinson, and I have been in love with our planetary bodies and the cycles they represent for all of my life. This is my first astrological blogspot....I look forward to connecting with you again.
