Serendipity Riches Where Magic Happens!
Better Times ARE ahead!
The headline in last
Friday’s (3/20/2009) Honolulu Advertiser blared, “No relief in sight for Isle
economy.” Really? From an astrological perspective, this
headline may
be more hype than fact.
In the overview,
there are cycles of thousands of years called zodiacal ages. We’ve heard of the
Aquarian Age, we've been on the brink of it for more than a generation. The
clues may be in a 1960s song written for the musical 'Hair': I remember singing and dancing to this song as
my high school drama class prepared to stage it for our annual big show.
"When the Moon is in
the 7th house and Jupiter aligns with Mars,
then peace will guide the
planets and love will steer the stars.
This is the dawning of the
Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius! Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding, sympathy
and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or
derisions, golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation and
the mind's true liberation Aquarius! Aquarius!"
The song, ‘Age of
Aquarius,’ was supposedly inspired in part by a Nostradamus prophecy:
'Mars and Jupiter will be in
conjunction,
Soon after a new king
anointed
Who for a long time will
bring peace to the Earth.'
Nostradamus Prophecies C6 Quatrain 24
Change and
dramatic new beginnings come to all of us at some time. An article in today’s Honolulu Advertiser (3/22)
headlines, “Times are good business for psychic,” and subtitles it “Worry drives
steady stream of customers to divine what lies ahead.” True, but sometimes even the omens are fuzzy,
even for ourselves. For instance, I am
about to experience Uranus, planet of radical change, moving over my Ascendant
on April 9th. This is a
once-in-a-lifetime transit and I don’t truthfully know what to expect, because
with Uranus one can only expect the unexpected.
An acquaintance of mine had a similar transit a few years ago and
created for herself two-toned Cruella DeVille hair! She also created for herself a Cruella
personality which persists to this day. You
can see and hear her coming. So if you
see me after April 9th…
In Astrology, though, we know certain things,
such as each New Moon and each New Year brings a fresh start. The Zodiacal New
Year begins with the Spring Equinox on March 20th, which we just
celebrated last Friday. This Spring Equinox is termed the Aquarian Equinox
because it is the first Equinox following the February 17th, 2009,
alignment of planets in Aquarius that has been said will trigger the beginning
of the Age of Aquarius. The celestial events in the transition to the Aquarian
Age include these seven:
- The February 17th stellium in Aquarius
- A Simultaneous Spring Equinox on our globe as well as on Saturn and Uranus
- A New Venus on March 27th
- The most powerful solar eclipse of the century on deck for July 22nd
- The heliacal rising of Sirius, Venus, and Orion in mid-August
- The Saturn Ring Plane Crossing / Saturn Equinox on September 4th; and finally
- The appearance of the 7th Moon in the 7th House on September 19th and 20th
The uniting cycles
in this transition include the beginning of the Aquarian Age according to the
cycle of precession and the fluky cycles of Saturn and Uranus, the ancient and
modern, respectively, planetary rulers of Aquarius. Also playing a part is the
North Node transiting Aquarius and its conjunction to the precise Pisces /
Aquarius juncture at the time of the July 22nd total eclipse of the Sun.
Each Spring Equinox and the year thereafter is
ruled by one of seven planets in sequence -- Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun,
Venus, Mercury, and the Moon. Mars ruled
this past year and the Sun now takes his place. Mars years often bring war and
violence and advocate personal motives, Sun years, though, bring enlightened, inclusive
vision, new understandings, positive social change, and general well being. The Sun, the giver of life, is the source of
light, love and power in the universe
In the Mayan
calendar 2009 is ruled by Yohualtictl, the Flower Goddess. ‘Flowering’ is a
keynote of this cycle, which means that good times are just around the corner. How good? How close around the corner? It depends on how well we have endured our
hardships g during the bleak, winter phase of this cycle. The 13 prophetic
years of transition, 1998-2011, in the Mayan calendar harken back in time to
the last Yohualticitl cycle1952-1972, which brought in the hippies, Height-Ashbury,
Woodstock, Vietnam, the beat generation, and the ‘flower children.
While we are
experiencing Spring Equinox on Terra Firma, it is also Spring Equinox on Saturn
and Uranus! The seasons last longer on these outer planets, occurring on Saturn
only20every 30 years and on Uranus every 84 years. Whatever the duration, Spring Equinox is more
than just a day. It is a time of celestial
equilibrium that extends for several days after. The last Equinox on Uranus was the Autumn
Equinox in effect from the end of 1965 through mid-1969. This was the heyday of
the Hippie revolution when flower children with our worry beads, sit-ins, and
flowing hair introduced the Age of Aquarius to the world.
The last time a Spring Equinox happened simultaneously
on Saturn and Uranus was more than 2500 years ago! This is especially significant
now because Saturn and Uranus, the planetary rulers of Aquarius, will continue
to be in opposition all this year. This dynamic opposition alternately
highlights and eradicates the unyielding forms of old while building flexible forms
of the future world. The Aquarian
Equinox continues while Saturn and Uranus align throughout 2009.
In the cycle of
the year, the magic times are the 15-day periods that begin at the equinoxes,
solstices. and on cross-quarter days. Things that=2
0occur during a waxing Moon, or
when the Moon is going from New to Full, during these times almost always go
well. This is a key to astrological timing. This Spring Equinox March 20th to
April 4th is a period of opportunity to focus energy in a new way. We are now recovering from a seven-year d”ark
night of the soul” that began in September2001 and has included five very
troublesome years from June ’03 to September ’07 when Saturn was in its
detriment in Cancer and Leo. In Saturn’s long annual cycle, the winter season
brings darkness. Winter began on Saturn in late 2001 and it ends officially on
September 4, 2009.
One of 2009’s prominent
highlights is the New Venus on March 27th. This evening will be one of the most
magical of the year. Four days later on March 31st / April 1st, Venus appears
as the Morning Star, a sign of new life, love, and creation. Every 500 years the Phoenix dies in flames
and is re-born from its ashes. The old ways die and new ways are born. The
return of Venus as the Morning Star signals the flight of the Phoenix. A New
Venus cycle begins on March 27th, just after the Spring Equinox. For
four days before and after this date Venus will be invisible.
During this time
she is in the inner world being transformed before she appears in new guise in
the morning sky. It is good to be quiet
while Venus and our psyches are in for their makeover. As Gurumayi Chidvilasanda said some time ago,
“reflect in silence.”
On February 17th,
2009, the Moon appeared in the 7th House as Mars and Jupiter were conjunct in
Aquarius with the north node, a symbol of our evolutionary direction. Five
planets and the Sun gathered in Aquarius to herald this new beginning. Plus,
Mercury in Aquarius was in ‘mutual reception’ with Saturn in Virgo while
Neptune in Aquarius was in mutual reception with Uranus in Pisces, so the
energies of the two rulers of Aquarius were drawn into the mix. The February
gathering of planets in Aquarius signaled the beginning of a new era that
begins to blossoms as Venus rises before the Sun. The New Venus brings new love, artistry, beauty,
money, and manifestation. The current economic crisis will be settled following
this New Venus. We all need to take
steps to be in the right place at the right time to make the right connections
to accept and receive the coming bounty.
The Tarot card
for Aquarius is the Star, with the cosmic Lady pouring her twin pitchers out into
the Aquarian streams. A Phoenix sits in a tree behind her.
Many outworn
global patterns will come up for release as these various elements move toward
their rendezvous. This grand alignment brings the possibility of a major change
in consciousness and world reformation. A new world will emerge as the planets
fan out over the next three years.
Don’t expect the Age
of Pisces to end abruptly and the Age of Aquarius to instantly begin. Everything takes time. I just heard someone on television say that he
“was disappointed that President Obama hadn’t fixed things yet.” Good grief!
Give the man a chance! He has
years and years of scum to clean and polish.
When I closed the old shop in
2007 and relocated it to my home, I didn’t have the new shop ready the next
day. I just the other day found a used
book for a customer in the new book section, and while doing so, found a book
on Astral Projection mixed in with the Astrology books.
How soon we shift
into a better economy depends on how well we each tune in to the new flow and
quit getting pulled down by the negative forecasts in the media and other
nay-sayers. Remember, whatever we think
and affirm becomes our reality.

"As Above, So Below" - advice from the heavens
When we mention Astrology, most people think of the Sun sign under which they were born. While this is the most important aspect of the natal chart, it is not the whole chart. Professional astrologers look at 10 planets in all, and often many of the smaller planetoids or asteroids. The second most important placement to look at in the chart is the position of the Moon at birth. The Sun indicates our most basic influences. The Moon represents our emotional side and our relationship to women in general.
For instance, if you are born in the sign of Aries, you are generally a person who likes adventure, breaks new ground and is a mighty warrior. This is especially true if you are an Aries Sun and an Aries Moon. If, however, you are born an Aries but have your Moon in the sign of Cancer, your warrior side would be tempered by a strong nurturing ability and a deep love of the home. The Moon also represents the home and how you perceive it. In a relationship, if the two parties have Moons that conflict with each other, they very rarely agree about on how the house it set up or how it is decorated. A male friend of mine and I are both Pisces Suns – dreamy, romantic, wistful, and impressionable. My Moon is in Aquarius, so you had the overtone of needing personal freedom and expression of individuality to my chart. His Moon is in Cancer, so he’s more home oriented and wants to be surrounded by family (real and calabash) all the time. The Moon monitors your emotional interactions. The sign the Moon is in filters your emotional being. A Virgo Moon will tend to analyze emotions, a Capricorn Moon feels best when career or finances are going well, and a Libra Moon feels best when everything is in balance. So when it comes to Astrology, it’s not just your Sun sign, but also the Moon (and the other planets of the zodiac) that need to be considered.
All charts are personally analyzed by a real, practicing, professional Astrologer!

Testimonials
Cheryl -- I finally finished reading my 50 page birth chart report and wow is it fascinating! I have really gained a new perspective on myself both by reading and by talking with you last week. I feel a big pull now to try to explore and develop my psychic abilities. Could you let me know when you offer those psychic development classes please? Love Sarah
Cher - Just a quick note to let you know I truly enjoyed lunch today. It was a nice relaxing way of ending the weekend. I have began to read the astrological write-up and it is giving me many chuckles as I see everything I know about myself including all my idiosyncrasies -- See you soon. A, Kaneohe
Many blessings to you always Cheryl. You have brought so much great quality to both J. and my life. Love, P. :)
In my reading, you asked if I was moving and I said no, for sure. Imagine my surprise when, three days later, my husband announced that he had bought an apartment and was moving into it to live. On the spot, I realized I needed to sell the house and move to a space wth more reasonable rent. You were right on target!. Mahalo! DD, Honolulu.
I'm so glad I had you do my forecast. You kept seeing money for me, but I'm on a fixed income. Then we talked about an annuity I have that could be put into a trust without affecting my Social Security, and that I might also be able to qualify for food stamps and a rent subsidy. And I can! I'm so glad I took your sage advice, because every little bit helps! Thanks, my friend. Love, JJ, Honolulu

FORECAST/YOUR YEAR AHEAD
Cheryl’s Forecast features Progressions, Transits, Directions, Ingresses, and Eclipses all in one report. She incorporates several techniques commonly used by astrologers. Some are related to the actual movement of planets, and others are symbolic ways of presenting life events based on positions of planets early in life. Transits compare where the planets are right now with where they were the time of birth. They vary in intensity according to their duration and type. Progressions measure the natural motions of planets against the zodiac from the early part of life, according to the concept that one day equals one year in your life. Directions look at what happens within a day, according to the concept that one degree of diurnal motion equals one day in your life. Thus evolves a symbolic method of forecasting based on comparing the directed positions to the natal positions to evaluate the occurrence of aspects. Ingresses are the entrance of the Sun, Moon, or any planet into a house or sign, with a resulting alteration of its influence. Eclipses involve our two most influential celestial bodies – the Sun and the Moon - in their strongest aspects. Eclipse points in the natal chart bring about situations involving the house in which they appear and any planets they aspect. This report runs to 50+ pages.

ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY
Astro*Carto*Graphy is based on the concept that planetary influences may mean that a person has different luck, opportunities, experiences, and options in different locations. You aren’t exactly the same person in New York that you are in Honolulu. It works by taking the planets' placement at the time of your birth to the new potential residence. If a particular planet was especially powerful in the location noted when you were born, then the affairs that it symbolizes should dominate if you travel there, reside there, or even have anything to do with that location from some other place.
People instinctively seek wholeness, or a completeness of their experience. If it's true that different locations accent different parts of your potential, moving offers a way to accelerate your personal evolution, to get acquainted with new parts of your-self. Even a "difficult" locale can have great personal value if you know and understand the influences at work and how to make them advantageous to your goals and purposes. The point of a relocation chart to enable you to anticipate the nature of the influences at your potential residence or a location you intend to visit for pleasure or business and be able to use the most positive manifestations.
