It’s time again to celebrate the season of top dog Capricorn, sign of more kings than any other (December 21 – January 19). It is said that many are called and few are chosen and no sign is more prominent among the chosen few than Capricorn. Capricorn is ruled by the mountain goat and climb he must, no matter how steep or treacherous the mountain. In fact, the difficulty of the journey is a spur to Capricorn’s assured success.

“Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh. .. ” The light-hearted fun this old song brings to mind is the buoyancy and joy of Sagittarius, the ninth, the luckiest, and the most fun sign of the zodiac. (November 21 – December 21). Most of the good stuff of life is somehow crowded into this sign of friendliness, tolerance, optimism, and gratitude.

Isn’t it perfect that Halloween is celebrated now, under the sign of the Scorpion (Oct 22 – Nov 22)? The veil between the worlds is at its thinnest and ghosts and skeletons and vampires are at home now, wandering the streets. This is appropriate under the eighth sign, Scorpio, the sign of death, sex, transformations and all mysteries. Contact with the other side can happen easier now for seekers.
Libra

At the Fall Equinox on September 23, night and day are equal. Briefly, there is balance, (you can stand an egg on its head today) then the scales tip once again. Days begin to shorten and the time for plants to grow is over. Our work is done for now. Symbolically, the time for working on me and my stuff is also over. Now that I’ve refined myself in Virgo, it’s time to recognize and acknowledge the others around me and enter the world of relationship. Now is Libra (September 23 – October 22), the sign of partnership. Libra and the five signs following focus on relationship with partners, teachers, bosses, friends, and finally, in Pisces, with the oneness of divine consciousness.
Virgo

Let’s face it. Nothing is good enough for Virgo. Fussy, fussy. Picky, picky. No one knows like a Virgo how hard it is to carve out a little piece of perfection in this world where everyone does things wrong. No wonder that Virgos fret and worry. And if Virgo is in conflict with other energies, amp up the fretting to obsessing. Amp up the worry to anxiety. Thank goodness Virgos (August 22 – September -22) have wings.

On the year’s longest day we enter the emotional waters of Cancer the Crab, the sign of the mother, the motherland, and our Mother Earth. In the beginning was the Word, but also the Mother, the cosmic womb from which all life springs.

“June is busting out all over, ” and good because the month of the light-hearted Twins is backed by a positive skywatch this year. After a month or more of fogginess and delays, there are green lights in the heavens.
Taurus

“It’s May. It’s May. The lusty month of May. The time of year when everyone goes blissfully astray. .. ”
Probably Rogers and Hammerstein weren’t astrologers, but they were right on with their song from Camelot. May is the month of Taurus, the Bull (April 20-May 19), the most beautiful, sensual, and fertile month on Earth. Taurus is the flowering of Springtime and Taurus’ holiday—Beltane or May Day, as we call it—is a day of love-making festivals all around the world, revealing the Bull’s link with fertility. Many Taureans are proud of their love-making skills.
Aries
April 1, 2009
Thank goodness it’s time to start over. The new zodiacal year is underway. It began on March 20, the first day of spring, the first day of Aries, the sign of the Ram. It’s time to awaken from winter’s sleep and heed the call to adventure. It’s time to get going.
Pisces
March 1, 2009
Pisces, the sign of letting go, couldn’t be coming at a better time. Pluto in Capricorn began the meltdown and now Pisces waters continue to wash away everything not founded in truth. (February 18-March 20)
