New Moon in Pisces~ February 27th-March 5th, 2022

This weekend I'm offering an Intro to Aerial Yoga workshop at my studio, Leaping Waters in South Portland from 12:00-1:30 pm on Saturday, March 5th. 6 spaces are currently open for this welcoming, gentle introduction to decompression with aerial hammocks.

And on Sunday, March 6th, Restorative Yoga with Aromatherapy, also in the studio, from 4:00-5:45 pm. All postures are to promote rest and peace in the body and mind. Aromatherapy patches will be worn so scents do not permeate the air, only your skin. Choose Lavender Blend for rest and relief, Arnica Blend to address inflammation, Frankincense to invite harmony and pleasure, or additional blends I may offer.

Masks are optional, covid19 vaccination proof is required.

Maybe I'll see you soon!

Sunday~What a powerful Capricorn type of day as the Moon meets Venus, Mars and Pluto, all in the same sign! These three conjunctions strengthen all Capricorn and earth sign qualities. It's a day to figure out how to do something, be it personal, professional, related to a project or plan. Relationships are influenced as Mars and Venus both meet the Moon. This is very practical and organizational, slightly impersonal and yielding to whatever is most sensible. Some will figure out better plans for working together, co-parenting, living together, and making schedules and routines more efficient. Some can benefit from learning how to put something together or how to repair, refinish or renovate. There's also the depth of personal insight that Pluto provides and we may contemplate why things are as they are and why we act as we do, and from there perhaps make changes. From 9:49 am to 1:36 pm EST, the Moon is void of course, and then moves to Aquarius for further investigation and inventive approaches. Today's color is Violet.

Monday~On this final day of February, the Moon squares Uranus and meets Mercury and Saturn. So far, this week's aspects urge us toward plans and agreements. Mercury and Saturn lean toward future oriented plans with a long term focus, while in Aquarius. Fixed sign energies rule the day, and that can also mean difficulty letting go of one thing to make way for another. Uranus and the Moon play tug o' war over this, in Taurus and Aquarius. Both are opinionated signs and have their own ideas of what's best or right. One thing is for sure, the status quo must be disturbed and some things reinvented or reimagined. Give agreements your best effort and keep in mind that it's time to shed a skin or overturn an outdated decision. Void Moon 9:01 pm EST through the night and into Tuesday. Wear Silver.

Tuesday~Void Moon in Aquarius can lead us in many different directions. One is to continue yesterday's business and another is to socialize! Getting together in groups is favored while the void Moon lends itself more to leisure and enjoying the company of others. It might not be easy to get things decided or done, though processes can be rolling along, especially with collaboration. New Moon in Pisces is Wednesday, so fresh starts have more power after today. Laying the groundwork is favored.  At 3:53 pm EST, the spell is broken as the Moon moves to Pisces and shortly after  midnight, the Pisces Sun aligns with Uranus for unique self expression, creativity and interesting ways of showing compassion and caring. Possibilities include forgiveness and surprise reconciliations. Look for mutual understanding and for help from unexpected sources. Wear Light Blue.

Wednesday~New Moon in Pisces signals fresh starts and intentions realized, from 12:35 pm EST on. First, the Sun aligns with Uranus (read Tuesday forecast), brightening and encouraging. Uranus also aligns with the Moon, so the power of this planet of originality, change and the unexpected is likely to be strongly seen and felt. Uranus is a catalyst, a storm, a volcano of destruction, re-creation and radical expression. That is the quality of this New Moon, and since it's in Pisces there are emotional implications. People are likely to say and do as they FEEL, unable to hold back or minimize. Creativity peaks. Dramatic approaches and expressions are likely as changes are announced and made. Jupiter also supports New Moon for growing in sensitivity, caring, wisdom, and forgiveness. Invite and offer healing and compassion to yourself and others. Rest, as a way to heal and replenish. Allow for these things: change, authentic expression, creativity and restoring. Mercury also meets Saturn for solidifying agreements, decisions and meaningful life plans. Today's color is White.

Thursday~This is quite the astrological week, and today we're back to those Capricorn vibes of Sunday and last week as Mars and Pluto meet. Action based on introspection and new self awareness is one thing to notice. Strong desire and passion will guide our actions and moves made this week. Tune into what is undeniable. Venus and Pluto also meet, applying the same to love, relationships and harmony between partners and friends. Some will have big awakenings around what's real in their relationship or their hopes and dreams of partnering. Pisces Moon meets Neptune, a romantic and dreamy planetary influence, following by harmonious sextiles with each planet currently in Capricorn. The earth/water synchronicity has been powerful both this week and last week. Action based on feelings. Whether you're creating or in processes like recovering or healing, transitioning from one phase to another, moving or just allowing things to take place right now, emotions must be allowed to arise and inform. What does the subtle body say? Tune in to YOU.  Void Moon 4:45 pm to7:52 pm EST. The Moon moves to Aries. Wear Green, for the heart.

Friday~Aries Moon lights extra fire under whatever is in process this week. Passion and quickness fuel actions and events today. Wear Red.

Saturday~Aries Moon is encouraged and influenced by Saturn and Mercury for seriousness and intention. Meaning and commitment should back actions and words. Saturn teaches lessons about commitment or lack thereof. Mercury is forward thinking in Aquarius and Aries Moon also pushes toward the future. Anxiety can crop up under those conditions, so check in with yourself if you feel too much pressure or forward projection. Aries Moon squares Pluto for facing even difficult realizations and knowing that something must be done or changed in order to align with oneself, to your true desires and needs. Jupiter and the Sun meet in Pisces to help further growth and self actualization. Can our emotional capacity that is often oppressed and distorted from desensitization, glorification of violence in movies and media, recover, heal and increase? Mars and Venus spend their last hours in humanitarian Aquarius tonight. Wear Yellow today.

I'll be on WMPG for the next two Mondays 10:30 am-12 pm. Stay tuned for a schedule change in the future. It's been fun spending winter Mondays on the air, with you.

Pisces Vibes ~ February 20th-26th, 2022

Sunday~Pisces qualities radiate during this waning Moon with Pisces Sun, Jupiter and Neptune. Capricorn traits and qualities infuse the week too, as Venus, Mars and Pluto act in this earth sign. Earth and Water elements. Our physical bodies resonate with these elements. Take extra care of your body with exercise, hydration, and release of unhealthy habits. Libra Moon today is more airy and intellectual, square to Venus and Mars (and Pluto at 12:02 am EST overnight into Monday),  which may lead to judgmental attitudes and relationships feeling out of sync. Expect a full mind and reasons to problem solve or seek agreement in matters of conflict or equity. Today's color is Pink, for release of intensity and softening the mind.

Monday~After the Moon/Pluto square, void Moon is 12:02 am to 4:19 am EST. Perhaps that'll help rest the mind after lots of thinking, discussing or problem solving during Libra Moon. Scorpio Moon comes in with resolve and strong will and is in harmony with the Sun in Pisces helping with decisiveness and emotional awareness. Take your own feelings into consideration. In other words, do not dismiss your real feelings. The Moon and Mercury in Aquarius are square, pointing out what's still up for discussion and new ideas even if you think you've exhausted the subject or there hasn't been a reasonable answer or enough information. Seek the information and details you need before answering the question or filling out the paperwork. Wear Indigo Blue.

Tuesday~Scorpio Moon opposite Uranus always looks uneasy (at best). This occurs at 12:10 am EST, and could disrupt your mind, the plan, or stability in general. This happens monthly. Fortunately, there are a few harmonious aspects to ease the potential of the opposition. Venus and Mars in Capricorn sync with Scorpio Moon, assisting with personal priorities and ability to get along with one another. The Moon square to Saturn anchors us in our convictions and may lead to disagreeing with the larger group. Disagreement is sometimes healthy, such as not agreeing to something for the wrong reasons. Notice how your will and gut speak to you. Take the action you feel to be right and stay strong. Also, be aware of unnecessary stubbornness and inability to let go of your own plan or self interests if that's hindering the group or forward movement. Find that just right place to hold on or let go. Wear Black today.

Wednesday~Scorpio Moon aligns with Pluto, Scorpio's ruling planet. This wee hours aspect highlights internal processes and subtle awareness including intuition. The answer may come in your sleep. From 4:24 am to 8:29 am EST, the Moon lingers void of course and you may also want to linger in early routines and write down your dreams in a stream of consciousness this morning. Make way for active Sagittarius Moon. Mars aligns with Neptune in earthy Capricorn and the waters of Pisces. Construct from your dreams and feelings. This may fuel your art, music or other creation. It could also mean compassion in action. Sag Moon squares the Sun in Pisces at 5:32 pm EST, for an evening of who knows what since the plan or possibilities may not be what you anticipated. It's not a very reliable aspect and adjustments may be necessary. Try not to be overly reliant on someone or something for follow through. Choose your adventure or study, pursue what lights your fire. Wear Turquoise.

Thursday~Sagittarius Moon aligns with Mercury and Saturn. Moon squares include Jupiter and Neptune, the planets in Pisces. It's a mix of influences, with Mercury and Saturn in Aquarius feeding the hive mind and useful ideas or inventiveness. Jupiter and Neptune pull us to deep feelings and inner vision while Sagittarius Moon lures us to move boldly and even to burn a bridge if necessary. Venus aligns with Neptune for romance and gentleness, while Mercury squares Uranus for what feels like a 'disturbance in the force'. As you can see, it's one of the days where anything could happen. Do you tend toward the flow of water or are you feeling more like the volcano? Void Moon starts at 10:24 pm EST. Today's color is Purple.

Friday~Void of course Moon begins the day. Avoid rushing or pressuring. The field is wide open for Capricorn's constructive and grounded influence from 11:27 am EST. From then on, make strategic moves and sincere efforts, or take care of yourself in ways that satisfy the soul. Capricorn is the sign of 'the old soul', of time and age. Add a vintage touch or go antique shopping. Honor tradition, cook grandparents' recipes, and make decisions as the elders might advise. Err on the conservative side if you have to go one way or the other. The Moon and Pisces Sun will be in harmony after midnight, helping with the right balance in thinking and decision making. With any luck, there may be a more settled or comfortable feeling about today. Wear Blue.

Saturday~ Capricorn Moon vibes with Pisces Sun, Uranus in Taurus and Jupiter in Pisces. Our earth and water sign traits combine for what needs to be done and what needs to be felt. Uranus often explodes with something new to deal with or adjust to, but at least the trine is harmonious, in earth signs. Break ground, take apart to reconstruct, completely renovate, refinish or reorganize. Engage with your soulful, thoughtful side. Add love and attention to detail. Listen to your body's wisdom. Wear Green.

Robin

Sunday~Cancer Moon opposite Venus 12:45 am EST, after also opposing Mars and set to oppose Pluto. Angst, moodiness, and extremes characterize this weekend, especially where emotions and personal relationships are concerned. Sit with something and take a long hard look and feel into your most deep, authentic self for answers. The Moon and Neptune align to bring out creativity and imagination. Delve into your art form today. Wear Light Green.

Monday~Valentines Day and the Moon is near Full. I'll be on WMPG from 10:30 am-12 noon with song requests and zodiac zone insights. There's always mixed emotion and contrasting feelings about this day. Cancer Moon adds to that with an opposition to Pluto and another to Mercury. Be very careful with choice of words. Can we not sugar coat the message while also not being insensitive? It's a delicate balance. Cancer Moon is romantic and strongly emotional. That's the overnight. From 5:27 am to 6:17 am there's a short void Moon, then a Leo Moon, where the Moon shines full on Wednesday. Mercury changes signs which is always a moment to pause and see if you still agree with yesterday's decision or plan. Today may feel changeable, hopefully in the right direction. Leo Moon offers rays of sunshine and has no planetary aspects today. Enjoy some fun or a few hours of self care and revitalize your energy. This Full Moon doesn't look all that easy or smooth, so fuel up. Wear Orange. 

Tuesday~Leo Moon squares Uranus and opposes Saturn on the way to peaking Wednesday at 11:56 am EST. Both aspects are challenging in their own way. Uranus pulls for radical change and can upset the status quo. Sometimes that's needed, but it's rarely a smooth ride. Saturn speaks of the gravity of decisions and agreements and reminds us to mean what we say and to honor commitments. Mercury  now in Aquarius urges original thinking and planning with the big picture in mind. Think globally and broaden your vision. Today's color is Gold.  

Wednesday~Full Moon in Leo, just when we can see the daylight lengthening both in the morning and evening. Leo is light and warmth, generosity and strength. During this Full Moon, Venus and Mars meet in Capricorn. These planets of love and relationship activate agreements between partners. Capricorn is a very practical, earth sign and indicates matters like cohabitation, how to manage money or household, and time to make plans together. This may not be romantic so much as realistic. Form a workable agreement and take action around it this week. Capricorn and Cancer, this looks very promising for your marriage or partnership and anything that needs to be in harmony. Leo and Aquarius, due to Full Moon you may experience that too. Sagittarius, this may be financial and about work/relationship life. Aries, your career is in the spotlight and that is also true for Scorpio during Leo Full Moon. The Moon is void from 11:56 am to 3:42 pm EST. Avoid major announcements or purchases then. Virgo Moon time begins, enhancing the earth element of Venus and Mars and encouraging organization, forward  movement, versatile thinking and plans.  Today's color is White. 

Thursday~Virgo Moon is opposite Jupiter in Pisces and aligned in trine with Uranus in Taurus. Uranus and Jupiter form a harmonious sextile. This is generally a positive thing, and may help with some of the rattling and shaking from earlier this week, prior to Full Moon. Jupiter and Uranus combine for expanding plans in unexpected ways, broadening opportunities and vision, and moving from settling for something to deciding not to settle and looking actively for something better, more profitable, and uncommon. Break through boundaries and perceived limits. Seek something you or your family really need and want. Go for the gold rather than settling for what's just ok. These planets point to reasons to grow, change and do things differently. Wear Green today.

Friday~The Moon aligns with Venus and Mars, two of this week's influential planets. Venus and Mars suggest complementary traits and qualities that draw us toward our partners. Venus is the emotional draw and Mars is the physical. All of this happens in earth signs, meaning physical, practical and also sensual. Build and create with your own hands, notice texture and sensation, move your body, show affection, and be in the sensory moment. Let the thinking mind have a break today. Try not to overanalyze, which Virgo Moon time can also urge. The Moon opposes Neptune and aligns with Pluto. Tune into what feels true and avoid denial. We may feel introspective. Go with that. The Sun moves to Pisces today at 11:43 am EST, for the final phase of winter. Void Moon 6:20 pm to 10:51 pm EST. Libra Moon moves in for perspective, impartiality and in some cases to point out our tendency to judge. As the Moon wanes, can we let go of baggage that's ready for removal. Today's color is Indigo.

Saturday~Libra Moon trine to Mercury in Aquarius for partners, groups, teams and communicating about what can work (and what will not). Keep everyone's interests in mind and seek consensus. That is the main theme for today. Share ideas and converse. Make forward thinking plans together. Have a friend date. Wear Lavender. 

Mercury Direct in Capricorn February 6th to 12th, 2022

Sunday~ It looks certain we'll encounter after effects of mercury retrograde today, especially connected to power and authority, business and self interests. Aries Moon squares Pluto & Mercury newly direct. The tide turned and your priorities, willingness to take responsibility, and to compromise your plans shifted with this Mercury retrograde tide. Void Moon 12:21 pm to 5:52 pm EST. Taurus Moon follows & strengthens us for perseverance. Today's color is Dark Green.

Monday~Taurus Moon syncs with Mars and Venus in Capricorn, encouraging relationship harmony and working things out. Jupiter is in harmony with the Moon too, for abundance and general positivity. Recognize where you also need nurturing and healing. Notice how you can grow and prosper without pushing to the extreme. Uranus and the Moon meet every month and Uranus insists on change and reconstruction. Sometimes this comes in surprising form and can set us off balance. However, today the overall vibe is for growth and harmony. Wear Pink.

Tuesday~Taurus Moon engages with 5 planets and the Sun. Most aspects are harmonious, encourage us to get even firmer and stronger with our intentions and forward movement, yet slow and steady, with thoughtfulness. Taurus Moon encouraged building on the foundation and being methodical with steps and direction. The Sun and Saturn also square the Moon and this is where the effort is. Both are in Aquarius, working for the good of all and acting on the behalf of community and 'others'. Agreements made now may be difficult to break or get out of. Be fully intentional. Mars and Uranus align, a warning to be careful as things happen quickly or we could act impulsively. Keep your head in the game and tread solid ground. Wear the right gear for the job or the day. Avoid being sucked in or answering requests too quickly. The urge to act may be strong. Balance is with equal amount of thought. Tonight, withdraw the senses from media by 11:30 pm. Today's color is Gold.

Wednesday~Void Moon begins 11:48 pm Tuesday and lasts until 5:27 am EST. These hours are good for 'shutting down' to rejuvenate or for creative projects. Gemini Moon comes in with a burst of information, news, reasons to learn and study or write and form agreements. The Moon squares Jupiter in Pisces after midnight so the evening could include strong persuasion. Take your time and don't respond to pressure or emotional manipulation. Wear Blue today.

Thursday~Gemini Moon is influenced by Jupiter and Saturn. Look beyond the surface. Balance thinking and feeling. Go with your gut. Question everything. Ask for the truth. Act accordingly. Consider not offering benefit of the doubt and trust your doubts instead. Collective and team work and vision are favored as the day and evening progress. Today's color is Turquoise.

Friday~Gemini Moon squares Neptune in Pisces and aligns with the Sun in Aquarius. The first half of the day is similar to Thursday. Mercury and Pluto meet in Capricorn for serious realizations and internal process coming clear. Root in your personal awareness and let nothing distract or take that away. Void Moon 3:23 am EST to 6:27 pm when Cancer Moon time arrives. The Moon is between New and Full, with Leo Full Moon coming Wednesday midday.  Wear White.

Saturday~Cancer Moon, with oppositions to both Venus and Mars this weekend, indicates sorting out some home, family and relationship issues that are creating either drama or uncertainty. People may feel defensive. Note that and approach with sensitivity. The Cancer Moon is also in harmony with Jupiter in Pisces for all water sign things including immersion in art, music and emotions. The Moon and Uranus show feelings coming up very spontaneously and requiring response of some kind. Take care of the heart this weekend as Full Moon is approaching. Today's color is Blue.
