The Week Ahead
Monday, February 1st through Sunday, February 7
Astrological Highlights for the week: Venus enters Aquarius on Monday, joins Saturn on Friday and squares Uranus on Saturday.
Venus is in the spotlight this week, so lets talk about the goddess of love. Venus is the planet that is most closely associated with our desire and need to relate. Relate to ourselves, other people, the planet, events and etc. She represents what we find desirable, how we make ourselves attractive, and our attitudes towards what we find most valuable. She also is a big influence on our attitudes about beauty and how we express our unique creativity.
Venus encourages us to honor our natural desires, affinities, and interests. When we respond to kinship with someone or something, we are listening to the voice of Venus.
She reminds us to relate and to do it in beautiful and creative ways. The way that beauty and creativity looks and feels depends on the sign she is expressing through. The artistry of a perfectly choreographed car chase captured on film may be the work of Venus in Aries while an exquisite flower arrangement or gourmet meal might reflect the style of Venus in Taurus. In the words of astrologer Caroline W. Casey We are the ambassadors of whatever we love. What do we love? Look to Venus by sign and dont forget to consider the element and modality. Aquarius is a loyal and stubborn Fixed sign in the mental, communicative Air element.
As Venus changes roles on Monday and glides into Aquarius what do we love? A few ideas come to mind such as experimentation, invention, anything new, different, novel, unexpected, and futuristic. Living by tradition and abiding by conventional rules governing life, love, romance, finances, and creativity holds no allure! We crave freedom of expression, independence, and lots of personal space. Its way more exciting to think of doing what hasnt been done, inventing something new, and turning the world upside down.
As you can imagine, this could throw a wrench into existing relationships based on structured rules and strict adherence to traditional values. But the discomfort is balanced by the potential benefits. Venus in Aquarius is interested in creating more fairness, balance and equality in relationships. But equal does not mean identical partners. We desire relationships with people of like mind and with those who will challenge and stretch our thinking. As an Air sign Aquarius wants to connect, socialize, share information, and provoke.
We can have lots of fun with Venus in Aquarius if we value being free-spirited and unorthodox. Friendship is very important. In fact, when Venus is in Aquarius we may be more interested in our friends than in lovers. We are seeking true soul mates of the mind and spirit. This is a mental connection rather than a physical one.
And while we are on the subject, be advised. Venus now joins the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and retrograding Mercury in Aquarius. This is where its happening in the cosmos! And there is a New Moon in Aquarius on the 11th of February. Better get on the train without rails or be left behind. Retrograding Mercury insures we go deeper than usual, evaluating the security of the past verses the potential gifts of the future.
There is a special quality to this February and planets gathering in humanitarian and socially reforming Aquarius. Its powerful all on its own, but it ignites many sparks and debates as each of these planets form squares with Mars and Uranus in Taurus. Many changes and adjustments are inevitable and a number of factors need to be considered. Life is dynamic!
This week, we have a couple of excellent opportunities to learn and observe. Although thats not quite accurate; observing from the sidelines is probably not a viable option with Venus joining Saturn on Friday and squaring Uranus on Saturday. This is auspicious energy calling us to make and/or break commitments in our lives. Please dont skip these daily write-ups.
Before we close on Venus in Aquarius Id like to highlight a person who may exemplify this energy by living his life and making decisions that are certainly unexpected, and in a world tightly controlled by tradition and expectations Pope Francis (elected in 2013). He was born with both Moon and Venus in Aquarius so we shouldnt be too surprised if he colors outside the lines! He started his tenure as head of the Catholic Church with a number of breakthroughs. He is the first Jesuit pope; the first Latin American pope from the Americas and the first non-European pope in more than 1,000 years.
He has surprised many with his assertions that the church should rethink some of its traditions. Wait? What? I grew up Catholic; this doesnt sound very familiar. Although he has not necessarily broken with the church on issues of homosexuality and abortion, his attitudes are light years away from the historical positions of zero tolerance and judgment around these issues. He has even gone so far as to suggest the church could support some types of civil unions, and despite the church's opinions, it does not have the right to interfere spiritually in the lives of gays and lesbians. Reportedly in 2017 dozens of conservative Catholic scholars and clergy sent a letter to Pope Francis accusing him of spreading heretical positions on marriage and morality. Im no expert, but this sounds like Aquarius energy on the path of progress.
Im not offering these statements with a judgment of whether they are right or wrong but as an example of the energy of Aquarius. People guided by this energy are way showers with a willingness to shatter glass ceilings and breakthrough conventional ideas, habits, routines, and structures. Breakdowns often foreshadow Breakthroughs. Its not always true, but sometimes when we witness the old guard crying heretic we know we are looking at an Aquarius with the spirit of Prometheus willing to defy the gods in order to forge a path into the future. Not all rebels are enlightened; but may we be slow to judge the heretics, dissenters and non-conformists, for they may be the visionaries imagining a new world the rest of us have yet to see.
Until next week, let go and wear loose clothes.

Moon in Virgo/Libra
Venus enters Aquarius 6:05am
The Moon goes Void of Course 3:10am enters Libra at 3:25am
Have you ever fought or disagreed with someone in a dream only to wake up being angry at them? Or maybe you have had the experience of waking up feeling frustrated and annoyed with no obvious reason or target for your feelings. This could describe this morning since the Sun in Aquarius made a jarring square with bold Mars in Taurus in the middle of the night. This lingering feeling of competition and needing to get our way regardless of the costs should dissipate fairly quickly. This connection is energizing but also tends to drain away our energy especially if we direct it in inappropriate ways. If you find yourself stomping around or being overtly aggressive you might want to stop and ask yourself if you like feeling and behaving this way. If the answer is no you are already on the path to realizing you can make a different choice.
We get a lot of help clearing the cobwebs of conflict with the Moon gliding into agreeable Libra early this morning. This Libra Moon occurring a few days after the Full Moon (last Thursday) is social and a peace maker at heart. We lean into the idea of listening to both sides of a story. We may not agree with others but we are willing to cooperate and try to understand different perspectives. Mid-day when Luna makes a positive connection with Saturn its easier to find agreement with others, especially in business and professional situations. This evening, the Moons alignment with hopeful Jupiter bodes well for both learning and social activities.
Venus the planet of love and values makes an important change today, entering mental and independent Aquarius. The cosmos is building toward critical mass with the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and now Venus joining the party in this progressive and forward-thinking sign. Like a tidal wave we either get on board or hunker down somewhere waiting for it to blow over. (Hint: With Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius, this storm of change and push towards new foundations and norms is not going to dissipate anytime soon.)
Uranus-ruled Aquarius can be rebellious and revolutionary, but is also the sign of friendship. We tend to elevate relationships with people who think like us, and/or who stretch our minds and hearts toward something new. Venus in Aquarius is experimental and prefers unorthodox relationships and partners. (I can hear the parents of teenagers groaning and with good reason!) Independence and fairness is prized in relationships. We aspire to being free-spirited and are attracted to people, events, and ideas that feed our need to be unusual and aligned with the future.
Venus in autonomous Aquarius can feel disruptive to established relationships and social norms; but remember its simply one stop along the cosmic journey for Venus. Allow yourself and your partners more independence and freedom. Friendship at this time is paramount. Focus on the friendship aspects of your relationships with loved ones; and if you are so inclined you might also find your friends evolving toward a relationship of greater closeness or intimacy. Explore, experiment, and be open to the unfamiliar.
Daily Muse: Depicting the Pope as a sort of Superman, a star, is offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps calmly and has friends like everyone else. A normal person. (Pope Francis Moon and Venus in Aquarius)

Moon in Libra
The Moon goes Void of Course 10:15pm
The harmony-building Libra Moon mostly gets her way today cruising through her agenda with no obvious or blatant challenges to her peace-making efforts. With no planetary aspects during daylight hours we might enjoy a relatively drama-free day. Well maybe. Little if any conflict occurs as we do our best to avoid any provocative conversations and interactions. We are more likely to walk away then to engage. This lunar energy considers it impolite and certainly rude to purposefully instigate conflict. Cant we all just go to lunch or meet for a Zoom social hour and laugh?
Our hearts are craving a respite and a little touch of heaven and synchronicity in the midst of challenging times. Even though we cant resolve every issue, we can table some of our worries at least for a few hours. This is a great day for participating in the flow of life focusing on giving and receiving. If you have something to donate or pass on to someone else, do it. You might also facilitate a transaction linking a friend looking for something with the knowledge of how to acquire it or with someone looking to give or sell. You might make someones day through a purchase or receiving something they have to give. This is a day to share both our wants and our abundance. This includes knowledge, tips, and material goods too. If you want or need something, put the word out there.
On a personal note, my parents made a significant move this last week, leaving a home they had lived in for 40 years. Part of that move included giving away the trampoline Santa Clause brought to me and my siblings decades ago. I cant even begin to count the hours of joy and the generations of adults and children who have interacted and laughed on this equipment. The neighbor children were in the right place at the right time. They were ecstatic when my brother asked them if they wanted it and their parents agreed. From the squeals coming from their yard, I have to imagine they are thoroughly enjoying their present!
The energy is a bit crankier tonight when the Moon bumps up against a square with inflexible Pluto in Capricorn. Those humanitarian ideals may temporarily come crashing down in the harsh light of cold reality. This is a good reminder life has many shades of gray, and all levels of compromise. Just because things arent perfect doesnt mean we cant hope and aspire to higher levels of cooperation. Thankfully the Moon also aligns with Mercury in Aquarius and a touch of optimism is restored before we call it a night. Take hold of your thoughts and mind they are your greatest assets for creating your experience.
Daily Muse: Well, all I know is thisnothing you ever learn is really wasted, and will sometime be used. (Julia Child Moon in Libra trine Uranus in Aquarius)

February 3
Moon in Libra/Scorpio
Void of Course enters Scorpio at 6:15am
Peace and harmony may be harder to conjure up today with the Moon diving into mysterious Scorpio. Not that Scorpio is conflicted; its just harder to read other people and sometimes motivations are far from obvious. With the Moon making conflicting squares with Venus this morning and Saturn this afternoon, we might be feeling some backlash. Getting into the spirit of all these planets in Aquarius we might be suggesting more independence and autonomy in our relationships. These attempts at giving relationships the room to evolve and grow may be met with a cold reception over the next two days. The Moon in sensuous and passionate Scorpio is likely to misinterpret these attempts as betrayal or rejection. As with most lunar connections, at least the effect is temporary. Recognize the Scorpio Moon is quick to pick up on any hint of rejection. Dont be alarmed if well-intentioned ideas seem to hit the wrong mark.
On a more positive note, Mercury in Aquarius makes a clever and innovative connection to Uranus helping us find workarounds not only for hurt feelings but also for challenging dilemmas. This often manifests as a burst of insight that can be used effectively by those quick enough to grab it. This will help us rethink any misses we experienced today and deal with the Lunar opposition to Uranus this evening.
Tonight rather than trying to cooperate, we feel an urgency to go it alone, or at least take a time out. This is probably not the time for a cozy feel-good evening at home with friends or loved ones. If someone feels hurt or grumpy they are not likely to be talked out of their mood. They will respond positively to kindness and allowing them to work things out on their own.
Daily Muse: Thats why Ill never run for office. Because you have to be too clean. I am not clean. Ive had a lot of mud. Forget the skeletons, Ive got the mud. And, know what? I dont want to have to explain me to anybody. (Whoopi Goldberg Sun Moon, Mercury and Saturn in Scorpio)
February 4
Moon in Scorpio
The emotional forecast is calling for grouchy with the possibility of outbursts. Eruptions are most likely to occur at the beginning and end of the day with the Moon in Scorpio fighting with Mars this morning and with Mercury late tonight. Its hard to hide our frustration and annoyance. Tempers flare and we tend to be more selfish and self-centered (in the negative way) than usual. With the Sun in Aquarius also squaring the Moon mid-morning we take offense easily feeling misunderstood and maybe angry that others are not taking the time to appreciate our needs, preferences and desires.
The emotional winds are blowing with more gentleness mid-afternoon when the Moon aligns with Neptune in sensitive and compassionate Pisces. At least for awhile we may glimpse the hurt in ourselves and others and act more kindly. This may or may not linger through evening when the Moon squares Mercury in Aquarius. Telling someone what we really think with a lack of tact or diplomacy can get us into trouble.
Days with high emotional variability is like navigating a sailboat on the ocean demanding but not without its perks. Even rough seas can prove thrilling with the right equipment and attitude. My repetitive but everlasting advice is look for happiness within yourself. Dont expect others to be mind-readers (except on 12Listen.com LOL). When we wait for someone else to figure out what we want, take offense when they dont understand or meet our needs, we are doomed to disappointment. Learning to deal with a full range of feelings in ourselves and others is part of the key to staying sane and functional. Know your personal triggers and recognize when you are going down the rabbit hole towards a full-blown upset.
Happiness is not controlling the emotional weather, but in learning to enjoy its abundant manifestations and quirks. And never forget, just like planetary weather, if you dont like whats happening, wait a minute. Its bound to change.
Daily Muse: One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others. (Nelson Mandela Moon in Scorpio)
February 5
Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius
The Moon goes Void of Course 1:20am enters Sagittarius at 9:15am
The emotional winds are blowing from a different direction today as the Moon glides into adventurous Sagittarius. We may not be quite as optimistic as sometimes, but we are passionate about being open to finding truth wherever it resides. This willful Moon energy makes harmonious and fortifying alignments with Venus and Saturn this evening which are the opening acts to a more auspicious hookup between Venus and Saturn this evening.
Venus and Saturn come together about once a year give or take a few months. (Unless it is a year in which Venus retrogrades which may create a repeat performance. This isnt one of those years.) Personally, I really like this energy because it is clarifying and leads to important decisions and commitments around love and finances and anything else we find important and valuable.
There is a no-nonsense energy with Saturn being the planet of organization, structure, and discipline. It can separate us from previous decisions and commitments if its light reveals a lack of integrity or purpose in these previous alliances. Purpose is everything to Saturn! What is your goal? What do you want? Why? Are you willing to pay the price, do the work, and persevere to accomplish it? Do you have the patience to remain devoted over the necessary time for a step-by-step effort? Dont attempt to argue with or fool Saturn in mental Aquarius. You will not be pleased with the results. This stern but dedicated task-master will show us the way to manifestation of our desires if we are willing to make the necessary commitment and follow through with loyalty and dedication.
When Saturn and Venus meet tonight there could be some disappointment. Old goals may not have materialized and will be recycled or composted in favor of applying our energies to what we most desire NOW. Saturn clears the way for new commitments and loyalties. Enter into an agreement today with the power of Venus and Saturn and be ready for action. Clarifying and agreeing to an intention sets it in motion. This is a powerful and auspicious time; dont treat it with indifference. Unless of course, you are not interesting in taking the reins and directing your path. Engagements and weddings are forthcoming for those so inclined.
Daily Muse: It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not. (Bill Gates Venus and Saturn tightly conjunct in Scorpio)
February 6
Moon in Sagittarius
Moon Goes Void of Course at 10:16pm
We are feeling positive and motivated, especially toward decisions we made yesterday under the influence of the Venus Saturn conjunction. We are already considering strategies and making plans. Today the Moon in hopeful Sagittarius connects with expansive Jupiter early this morning boosting our enthusiasm. It should be relatively smooth sailing through late afternoon when the Sun in Aquarius also makes a positive connection to the Moon adding a sense of credibility to our choices.
However, a feeling of doom and gloom may be building. Our enthusiasm and confidence starts to wane with doubts in early evening when the Moon squares dreamy Neptune in Pisces. Were our hopes and dreams nothing more than illusions and fantasies? Were we under the influence yesterday when we made this commitment? This is followed by a daunting square between Venus and Uranus mid-evening. No doubt, this connection can be fickle, unpredictable, and indecisive. Am I making a mistake? I agreed, accepted his proposal, decided to sell or buy a house, move, or quit a job; what was I thinking? Am I ready for this compromise, commitment, or change in my life?
Its quite fascinating, really, that a disruptive square between Venus and Uranus would occur so quickly following the solidifying conjunction of Venus with Saturn. We might be lucky that this obstacle occurs so early in the process. We can deal with it and move on. Even though there is a possibility we did act rashly around a decision, its more likely we are simply letting its gravity sink into our brains and hearts.
Its natural to feel unsure or scared making life-changing decisions. My instinct says most decisions made on Friday were sound and worthwhile. Deal with the discomfort and look at any negative feelings that come up which could be nothing more than responding to unfamiliar territory. Excitement and anxiety are nearly identical feelings! If you are really not ready to follow-though then listen to that.
Venus square Uranus makes us want to escape! But for most, adopting a plan and strategy and dealing with challenges will be a natural and even enjoyable part of a new path. If you want absolute certainty you are on the wrong planet. (Maybe you should have read the fine print on the Earth brochure.) We do feel somewhat reassured in late evening when the adventurous Sagittarius Moon connects with Mercury in forward-leaning Aquarius.
Remember Mercury is moving retrograde so there are some adjustments we need to make to our thinking and to our plan. Edits and revisions are to be expected. Our path lies ahead, not behind. Trust yourself and trust the power of a thoughtful plan with enough structure to withstand obstacles and enough flexibility to adjust as needed. Think of all those buildings and structures that have been designed to withstand high winds and even earthquakes. Strength does not preclude flexibility.
Daily Muse: It's very satisfying. To perform the way you want to. And the way you know that you can. (Aretha Franklin Venus in Aquarius square both Saturn and Uranus conjunct in Taurus)
February 7
Moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn
Void of Course Moon enters Capricorn at 12:52pm
We are emotionally ready or at least willing to put indecision behind us mid-day when the Moon moves into pragmatic and dedicated Capricorn. (Ruled by Saturn!) Maybe Saturn is having the last say in this weeks cosmic debate. This Moon makes no planetary connections until early tomorrow morning, so it has pretty much free reign to exert its influence.
We are tempering the Sagittarius enthusiasm of the last few days with the serious pragmatism of Capricorns view of reality. The scales seem to be swinging to the extreme; but dont worry; they will find their natural center and balance. Having weathered the storm of doubt yesterday, if we are still committed to a path we are even more devoted now. Assessing our resources and calculating what we will need in the future is part of the necessary planning. We may go a bit overboard today with thinking we need to plan every detail and account for every penny. We are serious and sober today about our ideas and plans for the future.
Probably not the best time to suggest an increase in an allowance, a bonus at work or ask someone to foot the bill for an expensive or lavish wedding or celebration. We are feeling cautious and responsible with our finances. It is a good time to look at our attitudes toward scarcity and abundance and the attachments we have to money and resources. Do we equate them with self-esteem or try to trade them for recognition, approval or love? We might want to consider what it means to respect money and consider how we judge ourselves positively or negatively around our financial decisions. Doesnt sound like much fun does it! But it can be satisfying to take more responsibility if we have been too cavalier, or to be generous if we have been too miserly.
Daily Muse: Few people have the virtue to withstand the highest bidder. (George Washington Moon in Capricorn)

Im tired of feeling as if I have to pick a side. Im tired of being taunted,
teased and misled by the media in order to get a few clicks or sell some product that
someone wants me to think is important. Im tired of having my adrenaline factory stuck on high, with an unrelenting sense of impending danger gnawing at the back of my mind. Im tired of people hurling flaming bags of slander and innuendo at each other. I want to move on.
For the past several years I have felt that I had to be on guard every single day, even though most of the time there wasnt a thing I could do about the status quo, except complain. Ive been politically aware since I was about 13 years of age. I thought I had seen just about everything, but our recent political, socioeconomic, and health challenges are beyond anything Ive ever seen before or could have imagined. Thankfully, it now seems that weve taken a turn toward a different sort of energy.
I went to my Facebook feed yesterday and found snarky, unnecessarily divisive posts and memes shared by people Ive known. They originated from both sides of the controversies. There were dozens of them, and they all triggered something within me that I didnt like feeling. Some people insist that one thing is the truth and others battle that idea. Let them do it without me. I stopped following all of them and unfriended a few.
When anger becomes systemic and as much a part of our existence as love, then it is time to change something, but not everyone is willing to make that shift. Im not saying that I wont continue watching the pundits I enjoy, as there are issues I wish to be informed of, but the alley fights that have become such a part of our modern mindset will have to go on without me. I need a break, and Ill bet you do too. This in no way means abdicating our responsibilities. In fact, we may be doing more for society at large by not taking the bait.
We are beginning to see progress when it comes to getting a grip on this pandemic. There is still a long way to go, but movement is real and there is an end in sight. I plan to honor that fully and look forward to the day when I can get to know my grandchildren. I look at this realistically, understanding that it will take time to get back to whatever we wish to call normal, although that certainly must change. I refuse to argue with anyone about whether its advisable to get the vaccine, or not. I offer my advice when asked and that is all.
The occurrences of early January, in Washington DC, will be a part of our psyche for some time to come. Im a man of peace and not one who seeks violence. There is no room in my life for anyone who feels the opposite, regardless of how close to me they are, emotionally or historically. Ive had to make tough decisions in the past, cutting someone out of my life whose views were toxic to me, no matter how beloved they had once been. I will do it again, and I fully advise you to do the same. Anyone who has the ability, and the desire, to set you off like a pop bottle rocket needs to be exiled from your consciousness. In the beginning, it may be hard to do, but in the long run they will dissipate, like a light fog.
Im sure Ill still discuss politics when it suits me, but I wont be drawn into anything. Im over it for now and even though Ive become a little addicted to the adrenaline rush, Ill be fine.
Lets move on. Lets fill our lives with constructive and positive energies, leaving the icky, antagonistic, poison darts behind. We are lovers of life and spreaders of light. We are happy to be here and by letting go of some things that no longer serve us, we will be opening our arms to embrace that which make us whole.
Until next week, I wish you all peace and love.
Take a look at our manifesto. Click picture to enlarge!
Thriving
Thriving is one of the highest vibrations that we can hold as human beings. It is the limitless, unrestricted, energy of LIFE itself which is continuously unfolding in infinite ways and forms. Thriving is a wonderful and expansive vibration that allows the wisdom of the Universe free reign to demonstrate Its perfection in our lives.
When we desire something, a new job, home, relationship, etc., we can get overly attached to specifics. We want what we want, but we forget that we only know what we know, and the specifics are coming from our limited human experience and the reasoning mind. The only reason we desire anything is that we believe it will make our lives better. Can you think of anything better than thriving?
Thriving transcends our ideas of perfection and includes all possibilities because it is a function of Spirit. Just say the word thriving and let it resonate in your energy, get the feeling of it and practice that feeling rather than focusing on the thing that you desire. Feel yourself thriving in every area of your life.
Neville Goddard said, Live from your desired end result. I do not think that there is a more perfect end result than thriving because when you are thriving, you are a light to everyone in your world.
Have a very blessed week
The Week Ahead
Monday, February 1st through Sunday, February 7
Astrological Highlights for the week: Venus enters Aquarius on Monday, joins Saturn on Friday and squares Uranus on Saturday.
Venus is in the spotlight this week, so lets talk about the goddess of love. Venus is the planet that is most closely associated with our desire and need to relate. Relate to ourselves, other people, the planet, events and etc. She represents what we find desirable, how we make ourselves attractive, and our attitudes towards what we find most valuable. She also is a big influence on our attitudes about beauty and how we express our unique creativity.
Venus encourages us to honor our natural desires, affinities, and interests. When we respond to kinship with someone or something, we are listening to the voice of Venus.
She reminds us to relate and to do it in beautiful and creative ways. The way that beauty and creativity looks and feels depends on the sign she is expressing through. The artistry of a perfectly choreographed car chase captured on film may be the work of Venus in Aries while an exquisite flower arrangement or gourmet meal might reflect the style of Venus in Taurus. In the words of astrologer Caroline W. Casey We are the ambassadors of whatever we love. What do we love? Look to Venus by sign and dont forget to consider the element and modality. Aquarius is a loyal and stubborn Fixed sign in the mental, communicative Air element.
As Venus changes roles on Monday and glides into Aquarius what do we love? A few ideas come to mind such as experimentation, invention, anything new, different, novel, unexpected, and futuristic. Living by tradition and abiding by conventional rules governing life, love, romance, finances, and creativity holds no allure! We crave freedom of expression, independence, and lots of personal space. Its way more exciting to think of doing what hasnt been done, inventing something new, and turning the world upside down.
As you can imagine, this could throw a wrench into existing relationships based on structured rules and strict adherence to traditional values. But the discomfort is balanced by the potential benefits. Venus in Aquarius is interested in creating more fairness, balance and equality in relationships. But equal does not mean identical partners. We desire relationships with people of like mind and with those who will challenge and stretch our thinking. As an Air sign Aquarius wants to connect, socialize, share information, and provoke.
We can have lots of fun with Venus in Aquarius if we value being free-spirited and unorthodox. Friendship is very important. In fact, when Venus is in Aquarius we may be more interested in our friends than in lovers. We are seeking true soul mates of the mind and spirit. This is a mental connection rather than a physical one.
And while we are on the subject, be advised. Venus now joins the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and retrograding Mercury in Aquarius. This is where its happening in the cosmos! And there is a New Moon in Aquarius on the 11th of February. Better get on the train without rails or be left behind. Retrograding Mercury insures we go deeper than usual, evaluating the security of the past verses the potential gifts of the future.
There is a special quality to this February and planets gathering in humanitarian and socially reforming Aquarius. Its powerful all on its own, but it ignites many sparks and debates as each of these planets form squares with Mars and Uranus in Taurus. Many changes and adjustments are inevitable and a number of factors need to be considered. Life is dynamic!

Although thats not quite accurate; observing from the sidelines is probably not a viable option with Venus joining Saturn on Friday and squaring Uranus on Saturday. This is auspicious energy calling us to make and/or break commitments in our lives. Please dont skip these daily write-ups.
Before we close on Venus in Aquarius Id like to highlight a person who may exemplify this energy by living his life and making decisions that are certainly unexpected, and in a world tightly controlled by tradition and expectations Pope Francis (elected in 2013). He was born with both Moon and Venus in Aquarius so we shouldnt be too surprised if he colors outside the lines! He started his tenure as head of the Catholic Church with a number of breakthroughs. He is the first Jesuit pope; the first Latin American pope from the Americas and the first non-European pope in more than 1,000 years.
He has surprised many with his assertions that the church should rethink some of its traditions. Wait? What? I grew up Catholic; this doesnt sound very familiar. Although he has not necessarily broken with the church on issues of homosexuality and abortion, his attitudes are light years away from the historical positions of zero tolerance and judgment around these issues. He has even gone so far as to suggest the church could support some types of civil unions, and despite the church's opinions, it does not have the right to interfere spiritually in the lives of gays and lesbians. Reportedly in 2017 dozens of conservative Catholic scholars and clergy sent a letter to Pope Francis accusing him of spreading heretical positions on marriage and morality. Im no expert, but this sounds like Aquarius energy on the path of progress.
Im not offering these statements with a judgment of whether they are right or wrong but as an example of the energy of Aquarius. People guided by this energy are way showers with a willingness to shatter glass ceilings and breakthrough conventional ideas, habits, routines, and structures. Breakdowns often foreshadow Breakthroughs. Its not always true, but sometimes when we witness the old guard crying heretic we know we are looking at an Aquarius with the spirit of Prometheus willing to defy the gods in order to forge a path into the future. Not all rebels are enlightened; but may we be slow to judge the heretics, dissenters and non-conformists, for they may be the visionaries imagining a new world the rest of us have yet to see.
Until next week, let go and wear loose clothes.

The Moon goes Void of Course 3:10am enters Libra at 3:25am
Have you ever fought or disagreed with someone in a dream only to wake up being angry at them? Or maybe you have had the experience of waking up feeling frustrated and annoyed with no obvious reason or target for your feelings. This could describe this morning since the Sun in Aquarius made a jarring square with bold Mars in Taurus in the middle of the night. This lingering feeling of competition and needing to get our way regardless of the costs should dissipate fairly quickly. This connection is energizing but also tends to drain away our energy especially if we direct it in inappropriate ways. If you find yourself stomping around or being overtly aggressive you might want to stop and ask yourself if you like feeling and behaving this way. If the answer is no you are already on the path to realizing you can make a different choice.
We get a lot of help clearing the cobwebs of conflict with the Moon gliding into agreeable Libra early this morning. This Libra Moon occurring a few days after the Full Moon (last Thursday) is social and a peace maker at heart. We lean into the idea of listening to both sides of a story. We may not agree with others but we are willing to cooperate and try to understand different perspectives. Mid-day when Luna makes a positive connection with Saturn its easier to find agreement with others, especially in business and professional situations. This evening, the Moons alignment with hopeful Jupiter bodes well for both learning and social activities.
Venus the planet of love and values makes an important change today, entering mental and independent Aquarius. The cosmos is building toward critical mass with the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and now Venus joining the party in this progressive and forward-thinking sign. Like a tidal wave we either get on board or hunker down somewhere waiting for it to blow over. (Hint: With Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius, this storm of change and push towards new foundations and norms is not going to dissipate anytime soon.)
Uranus-ruled Aquarius can be rebellious and revolutionary, but is also the sign of friendship. We tend to elevate relationships with people who think like us, and/or who stretch our minds and hearts toward something new. Venus in Aquarius is experimental and prefers unorthodox relationships and partners. (I can hear the parents of teenagers groaning and with good reason!) Independence and fairness is prized in relationships. We aspire to being free-spirited and are attracted to people, events, and ideas that feed our need to be unusual and aligned with the future.
Venus in autonomous Aquarius can feel disruptive to established relationships and social norms; but remember its simply one stop along the cosmic journey for Venus. Allow yourself and your partners more independence and freedom. Friendship at this time is paramount. Focus on the friendship aspects of your relationships with loved ones; and if you are so inclined you might also find your friends evolving toward a relationship of greater closeness or intimacy. Explore, experiment, and be open to the unfamiliar.

Moon in Libra
The Moon goes Void of Course 10:15pm
The harmony-building Libra Moon mostly gets her way today cruising through her agenda with no obvious or blatant challenges to her peace-making efforts. With no planetary aspects during daylight hours we might enjoy a relatively drama-free day. Well maybe. Little if any conflict occurs as we do our best to avoid any provocative conversations and interactions. We are more likely to walk away then to engage. This lunar energy considers it impolite and certainly rude to purposefully instigate conflict. Cant we all just go to lunch or meet for a Zoom social hour and laugh?
Our hearts are craving a respite and a little touch of heaven and synchronicity in the midst of challenging times. Even though we cant resolve every issue, we can table some of our worries at least for a few hours. This is a great day for participating in the flow of life focusing on giving and receiving. If you have something to donate or pass on to someone else, do it. You might also facilitate a transaction linking a friend looking for something with the knowledge of how to acquire it or with someone looking to give or sell. You might make someones day through a purchase or receiving something they have to give. This is a day to share both our wants and our abundance. This includes knowledge, tips, and material goods too. If you want or need something, put the word out there.
On a personal note, my parents made a significant move this last week, leaving a home they had lived in for 40 years. Part of that move included giving away the trampoline Santa Clause brought to me and my siblings decades ago. I cant even begin to count the hours of joy and the generations of adults and children who have interacted and laughed on this equipment. The neighbor children were in the right place at the right time. They were ecstatic when my brother asked them if they wanted it and their parents agreed. From the squeals coming from their yard, I have to imagine they are thoroughly enjoying their present!
The energy is a bit crankier tonight when the Moon bumps up against a square with inflexible Pluto in Capricorn. Those humanitarian ideals may temporarily come crashing down in the harsh light of cold reality. This is a good reminder life has many shades of gray, and all levels of compromise. Just because things arent perfect doesnt mean we cant hope and aspire to higher levels of cooperation. Thankfully the Moon also aligns with Mercury in Aquarius and a touch of optimism is restored before we call it a night. Take hold of your thoughts and mind they are your greatest assets for creating your experience.

Moon in Libra/Scorpio
Void of Course enters Scorpio at 6:15am
Peace and harmony may be harder to conjure up today with the Moon diving into mysterious Scorpio. Not that Scorpio is conflicted; its just harder to read other people and sometimes motivations are far from obvious. With the Moon making conflicting squares with Venus this morning and Saturn this afternoon, we might be feeling some backlash. Getting into the spirit of all these planets in Aquarius we might be suggesting more independence and autonomy in our relationships. These attempts at giving relationships the room to evolve and grow may be met with a cold reception over the next two days. The Moon in sensuous and passionate Scorpio is likely to misinterpret these attempts as betrayal or rejection. As with most lunar connections, at least the effect is temporary. Recognize the Scorpio Moon is quick to pick up on any hint of rejection. Dont be alarmed if well-intentioned ideas seem to hit the wrong mark.
On a more positive note, Mercury in Aquarius makes a clever and innovative connection to Uranus helping us find workarounds not only for hurt feelings but also for challenging dilemmas. This often manifests as a burst of insight that can be used effectively by those quick enough to grab it. This will help us rethink any misses we experienced today and deal with the Lunar opposition to Uranus this evening.
Tonight rather than trying to cooperate, we feel an urgency to go it alone, or at least take a time out. This is probably not the time for a cozy feel-good evening at home with friends or loved ones. If someone feels hurt or grumpy they are not likely to be talked out of their mood. They will respond positively to kindness and allowing them to work things out on their own.
Daily Muse: Thats why Ill never run for office. Because you have to be too clean. I am not clean. Ive had a lot of mud. Forget the skeletons, Ive got the mud. And, know what? I dont want to have to explain me to anybody. (Whoopi Goldberg Sun Moon, Mercury and Saturn in Scorpio)
February 4
Moon in Scorpio
The emotional forecast is calling for grouchy with the possibility of outbursts. Eruptions are most likely to occur at the beginning and end of the day with the Moon in Scorpio fighting with Mars this morning and with Mercury late tonight. Its hard to hide our frustration and annoyance. Tempers flare and we tend to be more selfish and self-centered (in the negative way) than usual. With the Sun in Aquarius also squaring the Moon mid-morning we take offense easily feeling misunderstood and maybe angry that others are not taking the time to appreciate our needs, preferences and desires.
The emotional winds are blowing with more gentleness mid-afternoon when the Moon aligns with Neptune in sensitive and compassionate Pisces. At least for awhile we may glimpse the hurt in ourselves and others and act more kindly. This may or may not linger through evening when the Moon squares Mercury in Aquarius. Telling someone what we really think with a lack of tact or diplomacy can get us into trouble.
Days with high emotional variability is like navigating a sailboat on the ocean demanding but not without its perks. Even rough seas can prove thrilling with the right equipment and attitude. My repetitive but everlasting advice is look for happiness within yourself. Dont expect others to be mind-readers (except on 12Listen.com LOL). When we wait for someone else to figure out what we want, take offense when they dont understand or meet our needs, we are doomed to disappointment. Learning to deal with a full range of feelings in ourselves and others is part of the key to staying sane and functional. Know your personal triggers and recognize when you are going down the rabbit hole towards a full-blown upset.
Happiness is not controlling the emotional weather, but in learning to enjoy its abundant manifestations and quirks. And never forget, just like planetary weather, if you dont like whats happening, wait a minute. Its bound to change.
Daily Muse: One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others. (Nelson Mandela Moon in Scorpio)
February 5
Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius
The Moon goes Void of Course 1:20am enters Sagittarius at 9:15am
The emotional winds are blowing from a different direction today as the Moon glides into adventurous Sagittarius. We may not be quite as optimistic as sometimes, but we are passionate about being open to finding truth wherever it resides. This willful Moon energy makes harmonious and fortifying alignments with Venus and Saturn this evening which are the opening acts to a more auspicious hookup between Venus and Saturn this evening.
Venus and Saturn come together about once a year give or take a few months. (Unless it is a year in which Venus retrogrades which may create a repeat performance. This isnt one of those years.) Personally, I really like this energy because it is clarifying and leads to important decisions and commitments around love and finances and anything else we find important and valuable.
There is a no-nonsense energy with Saturn being the planet of organization, structure, and discipline. It can separate us from previous decisions and commitments if its light reveals a lack of integrity or purpose in these previous alliances. Purpose is everything to Saturn! What is your goal? What do you want? Why? Are you willing to pay the price, do the work, and persevere to accomplish it? Do you have the patience to remain devoted over the necessary time for a step-by-step effort? Dont attempt to argue with or fool Saturn in mental Aquarius. You will not be pleased with the results. This stern but dedicated task-master will show us the way to manifestation of our desires if we are willing to make the necessary commitment and follow through with loyalty and dedication.
When Saturn and Venus meet tonight there could be some disappointment. Old goals may not have materialized and will be recycled or composted in favor of applying our energies to what we most desire NOW. Saturn clears the way for new commitments and loyalties. Enter into an agreement today with the power of Venus and Saturn and be ready for action. Clarifying and agreeing to an intention sets it in motion. This is a powerful and auspicious time; dont treat it with indifference. Unless of course, you are not interesting in taking the reins and directing your path. Engagements and weddings are forthcoming for those so inclined.
Daily Muse: It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not. (Bill Gates Venus and Saturn tightly conjunct in Scorpio)
February 6
Moon in Sagittarius
Moon Goes Void of Course at 10:16pm
We are feeling positive and motivated, especially toward decisions we made yesterday under the influence of the Venus Saturn conjunction. We are already considering strategies and making plans. Today the Moon in hopeful Sagittarius connects with expansive Jupiter early this morning boosting our enthusiasm. It should be relatively smooth sailing through late afternoon when the Sun in Aquarius also makes a positive connection to the Moon adding a sense of credibility to our choices.
However, a feeling of doom and gloom may be building. Our enthusiasm and confidence starts to wane with doubts in early evening when the Moon squares dreamy Neptune in Pisces. Were our hopes and dreams nothing more than illusions and fantasies? Were we under the influence yesterday when we made this commitment? This is followed by a daunting square between Venus and Uranus mid-evening. No doubt, this connection can be fickle, unpredictable, and indecisive. Am I making a mistake? I agreed, accepted his proposal, decided to sell or buy a house, move, or quit a job; what was I thinking? Am I ready for this compromise, commitment, or change in my life?
Its quite fascinating, really, that a disruptive square between Venus and Uranus would occur so quickly following the solidifying conjunction of Venus with Saturn. We might be lucky that this obstacle occurs so early in the process. We can deal with it and move on. Even though there is a possibility we did act rashly around a decision, its more likely we are simply letting its gravity sink into our brains and hearts.
Its natural to feel unsure or scared making life-changing decisions. My instinct says most decisions made on Friday were sound and worthwhile. Deal with the discomfort and look at any negative feelings that come up which could be nothing more than responding to unfamiliar territory. Excitement and anxiety are nearly identical feelings! If you are really not ready to follow-though then listen to that.
Venus square Uranus makes us want to escape! But for most, adopting a plan and strategy and dealing with challenges will be a natural and even enjoyable part of a new path. If you want absolute certainty you are on the wrong planet. (Maybe you should have read the fine print on the Earth brochure.) We do feel somewhat reassured in late evening when the adventurous Sagittarius Moon connects with Mercury in forward-leaning Aquarius.
Remember Mercury is moving retrograde so there are some adjustments we need to make to our thinking and to our plan. Edits and revisions are to be expected. Our path lies ahead, not behind. Trust yourself and trust the power of a thoughtful plan with enough structure to withstand obstacles and enough flexibility to adjust as needed. Think of all those buildings and structures that have been designed to withstand high winds and even earthquakes. Strength does not preclude flexibility.
Daily Muse: It's very satisfying. To perform the way you want to. And the way you know that you can. (Aretha Franklin Venus in Aquarius square both Saturn and Uranus conjunct in Taurus)
February 7
Moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn
Void of Course Moon enters Capricorn at 12:52pm
We are emotionally ready or at least willing to put indecision behind us mid-day when the Moon moves into pragmatic and dedicated Capricorn. (Ruled by Saturn!) Maybe Saturn is having the last say in this weeks cosmic debate. This Moon makes no planetary connections until early tomorrow morning, so it has pretty much free reign to exert its influence.
We are tempering the Sagittarius enthusiasm of the last few days with the serious pragmatism of Capricorns view of reality. The scales seem to be swinging to the extreme; but dont worry; they will find their natural center and balance. Having weathered the storm of doubt yesterday, if we are still committed to a path we are even more devoted now. Assessing our resources and calculating what we will need in the future is part of the necessary planning. We may go a bit overboard today with thinking we need to plan every detail and account for every penny. We are serious and sober today about our ideas and plans for the future.
Probably not the best time to suggest an increase in an allowance, a bonus at work or ask someone to foot the bill for an expensive or lavish wedding or celebration. We are feeling cautious and responsible with our finances. It is a good time to look at our attitudes toward scarcity and abundance and the attachments we have to money and resources. Do we equate them with self-esteem or try to trade them for recognition, approval or love? We might want to consider what it means to respect money and consider how we judge ourselves positively or negatively around our financial decisions. Doesnt sound like much fun does it! But it can be satisfying to take more responsibility if we have been too cavalier, or to be generous if we have been too miserly.
Daily Muse: Few people have the virtue to withstand the highest bidder. (George Washington Moon in Capricorn)

Im tired of feeling as if I have to pick a side. Im tired of being taunted,
teased and misled by the media in order to get a few clicks or sell some product that
someone wants me to think is important. Im tired of having my adrenaline factory stuck on high, with an unrelenting sense of impending danger gnawing at the back of my mind. Im tired of people hurling flaming bags of slander and innuendo at each other. I want to move on.
For the past several years I have felt that I had to be on guard every single day, even though most of the time there wasnt a thing I could do about the status quo, except complain. Ive been politically aware since I was about 13 years of age. I thought I had seen just about everything, but our recent political, socioeconomic, and health challenges are beyond anything Ive ever seen before or could have imagined. Thankfully, it now seems that weve taken a turn toward a different sort of energy.
I went to my Facebook feed yesterday and found snarky, unnecessarily divisive posts and memes shared by people Ive known. They originated from both sides of the controversies. There were dozens of them, and they all triggered something within me that I didnt like feeling. Some people insist that one thing is the truth and others battle that idea. Let them do it without me. I stopped following all of them and unfriended a few.
When anger becomes systemic and as much a part of our existence as love, then it is time to change something, but not everyone is willing to make that shift. Im not saying that I wont continue watching the pundits I enjoy, as there are issues I wish to be informed of, but the alley fights that have become such a part of our modern mindset will have to go on without me. I need a break, and Ill bet you do too. This in no way means abdicating our responsibilities. In fact, we may be doing more for society at large by not taking the bait.
We are beginning to see progress when it comes to getting a grip on this pandemic. There is still a long way to go, but movement is real and there is an end in sight. I plan to honor that fully and look forward to the day when I can get to know my grandchildren. I look at this realistically, understanding that it will take time to get back to whatever we wish to call normal, although that certainly must change. I refuse to argue with anyone about whether its advisable to get the vaccine, or not. I offer my advice when asked and that is all.
The occurrences of early January, in Washington DC, will be a part of our psyche for some time to come. Im a man of peace and not one who seeks violence. There is no room in my life for anyone who feels the opposite, regardless of how close to me they are, emotionally or historically. Ive had to make tough decisions in the past, cutting someone out of my life whose views were toxic to me, no matter how beloved they had once been. I will do it again, and I fully advise you to do the same. Anyone who has the ability, and the desire, to set you off like a pop bottle rocket needs to be exiled from your consciousness. In the beginning, it may be hard to do, but in the long run they will dissipate, like a light fog.
Im sure Ill still discuss politics when it suits me, but I wont be drawn into anything. Im over it for now and even though Ive become a little addicted to the adrenaline rush, Ill be fine.
Lets move on. Lets fill our lives with constructive and positive energies, leaving the icky, antagonistic, poison darts behind. We are lovers of life and spreaders of light. We are happy to be here and by letting go of some things that no longer serve us, we will be opening our arms to embrace that which make us whole.
Until next week, I wish you all peace and love.
Take a look at our manifesto. Click picture to enlarge!
Thriving
Thriving is one of the highest vibrations that we can hold as human beings. It is the limitless, unrestricted, energy of LIFE itself which is continuously unfolding in infinite ways and forms. Thriving is a wonderful and expansive vibration that allows the wisdom of the Universe free reign to demonstrate Its perfection in our lives.
When we desire something, a new job, home, relationship, etc., we can get overly attached to specifics. We want what we want, but we forget that we only know what we know, and the specifics are coming from our limited human experience and the reasoning mind. The only reason we desire anything is that we believe it will make our lives better. Can you think of anything better than thriving?
Thriving transcends our ideas of perfection and includes all possibilities because it is a function of Spirit. Just say the word thriving and let it resonate in your energy, get the feeling of it and practice that feeling rather than focusing on the thing that you desire. Feel yourself thriving in every area of your life.
Neville Goddard said, Live from your desired end result. I do not think that there is a more perfect end result than thriving because when you are thriving, you are a light to everyone in your world.
Have a very blessed week

Good mornin' little angel babies,
I posted a video not too long ago on my Facebook Advisor Grace page
"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it."
Matthew 16:25
Now, you don't have to be a bible follower to appreciate the mystical aspect of this statement.
In losing ourselves, we find ourselves. But what exactly does this mean?
I think it is important that we first of all recognize a concept of a higher power. This could be God, Deity or even for some it is values and science. As an example, I know of an agnostic friend that sets their "god" or "values" as truth, beauty, love, and justice.
If we are our highest power in this world, how sucky! We immediately eliminate growth and limit ourselves to what we know about life, and nothing more. But if we believe there are higher powers, higher understandings in the Universe, we open ourselves up to their intelligence and define our path in this lifetime.
So even if you plainly believe in God, it would be helpful to define (or ask God to define) what that means for you?
Is that love, tolerance
Monday, February 1st through Sunday, February 7
Astrological Highlights for the week: Venus enters Aquarius on Monday, joins Saturn on Friday and squares Uranus on Saturday.
Venus is in the spotlight this week, so lets talk about the goddess of love. Venus is the planet that is most closely associated with our desire and need to relate. Relate to ourselves, other people, the planet, events and etc. She represents what we find desirable, how we make ourselves attractive, and our attitudes towards what we find most valuable. She also is a big influence on our attitudes about beauty and how we express our unique creativity.
Venus encourages us to honor our natural desires, affinities, and interests. When we respond to kinship with someone or something, we are listening to the voice of Venus.
She reminds us to relate and to do it in beautiful and creative ways. The way that beauty and creativity looks and feels depends on the sign she is expressing through. The artistry of a perfectly choreographed car chase captured on film may be the work of Venus in Aries while an exquisite flower arrangement or gourmet meal might reflect the style of Venus in Taurus. In the words of astrologer Caroline W. Casey We are the ambassadors of whatever we love. What do we love? Look to Venus by sign and dont forget to consider the element and modality. Aquarius is a loyal and stubborn Fixed sign in the mental, communicative Air element.
As Venus changes roles on Monday and glides into Aquarius what do we love? A few ideas come to mind such as experimentation, invention, anything new, different, novel, unexpected, and futuristic. Living by tradition and abiding by conventional rules governing life, love, romance, finances, and creativity holds no allure! We crave freedom of expression, independence, and lots of personal space. Its way more exciting to think of doing what hasnt been done, inventing something new, and turning the world upside down.
As you can imagine, this could throw a wrench into existing relationships based on structured rules and strict adherence to traditional values. But the discomfort is balanced by the potential benefits. Venus in Aquarius is interested in creating more fairness, balance and equality in relationships. But equal does not mean identical partners. We desire relationships with people of like mind and with those who will challenge and stretch our thinking. As an Air sign Aquarius wants to connect, socialize, share information, and provoke.
We can have lots of fun with Venus in Aquarius if we value being free-spirited and unorthodox. Friendship is very important. In fact, when Venus is in Aquarius we may be more interested in our friends than in lovers. We are seeking true soul mates of the mind and spirit. This is a mental connection rather than a physical one.
And while we are on the subject, be advised. Venus now joins the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and retrograding Mercury in Aquarius. This is where its happening in the cosmos! And there is a New Moon in Aquarius on the 11th of February. Better get on the train without rails or be left behind. Retrograding Mercury insures we go deeper than usual, evaluating the security of the past verses the potential gifts of the future.
There is a special quality to this February and planets gathering in humanitarian and socially reforming Aquarius. Its powerful all on its own, but it ignites many sparks and debates as each of these planets form squares with Mars and Uranus in Taurus. Many changes and adjustments are inevitable and a number of factors need to be considered. Life is dynamic!
This week, we have a couple of excellent opportunities to learn and observe. Although thats not quite accurate; observing from the sidelines is probably not a viable option with Venus joining Saturn on Friday and squaring Uranus on Saturday. This is auspicious energy calling us to make and/or break commitments in our lives. Please dont skip these daily write-ups.
Before we close on Venus in Aquarius Id like to highlight a person who may exemplify this energy by living his life and making decisions that are certainly unexpected, and in a world tightly controlled by tradition and expectations Pope Francis (elected in 2013). He was born with both Moon and Venus in Aquarius so we shouldnt be too surprised if he colors outside the lines! He started his tenure as head of the Catholic Church with a number of breakthroughs. He is the first Jesuit pope; the first Latin American pope from the Americas and the first non-European pope in more than 1,000 years.
He has surprised many with his assertions that the church should rethink some of its traditions. Wait? What? I grew up Catholic; this doesnt sound very familiar. Although he has not necessarily broken with the church on issues of homosexuality and abortion, his attitudes are light years away from the historical positions of zero tolerance and judgment around these issues. He has even gone so far as to suggest the church could support some types of civil unions, and despite the church's opinions, it does not have the right to interfere spiritually in the lives of gays and lesbians. Reportedly in 2017 dozens of conservative Catholic scholars and clergy sent a letter to Pope Francis accusing him of spreading heretical positions on marriage and morality. Im no expert, but this sounds like Aquarius energy on the path of progress.
Im not offering these statements with a judgment of whether they are right or wrong but as an example of the energy of Aquarius. People guided by this energy are way showers with a willingness to shatter glass ceilings and breakthrough conventional ideas, habits, routines, and structures. Breakdowns often foreshadow Breakthroughs. Its not always true, but sometimes when we witness the old guard crying heretic we know we are looking at an Aquarius with the spirit of Prometheus willing to defy the gods in order to forge a path into the future. Not all rebels are enlightened; but may we be slow to judge the heretics, dissenters and non-conformists, for they may be the visionaries imagining a new world the rest of us have yet to see.
Until next week, let go and wear loose clothes.

Moon in Virgo/Libra
Venus enters Aquarius 6:05am
The Moon goes Void of Course 3:10am enters Libra at 3:25am
Have you ever fought or disagreed with someone in a dream only to wake up being angry at them? Or maybe you have had the experience of waking up feeling frustrated and annoyed with no obvious reason or target for your feelings. This could describe this morning since the Sun in Aquarius made a jarring square with bold Mars in Taurus in the middle of the night. This lingering feeling of competition and needing to get our way regardless of the costs should dissipate fairly quickly. This connection is energizing but also tends to drain away our energy especially if we direct it in inappropriate ways. If you find yourself stomping around or being overtly aggressive you might want to stop and ask yourself if you like feeling and behaving this way. If the answer is no you are already on the path to realizing you can make a different choice.
We get a lot of help clearing the cobwebs of conflict with the Moon gliding into agreeable Libra early this morning. This Libra Moon occurring a few days after the Full Moon (last Thursday) is social and a peace maker at heart. We lean into the idea of listening to both sides of a story. We may not agree with others but we are willing to cooperate and try to understand different perspectives. Mid-day when Luna makes a positive connection with Saturn its easier to find agreement with others, especially in business and professional situations. This evening, the Moons alignment with hopeful Jupiter bodes well for both learning and social activities.
Venus the planet of love and values makes an important change today, entering mental and independent Aquarius. The cosmos is building toward critical mass with the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and now Venus joining the party in this progressive and forward-thinking sign. Like a tidal wave we either get on board or hunker down somewhere waiting for it to blow over. (Hint: With Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius, this storm of change and push towards new foundations and norms is not going to dissipate anytime soon.)
Uranus-ruled Aquarius can be rebellious and revolutionary, but is also the sign of friendship. We tend to elevate relationships with people who think like us, and/or who stretch our minds and hearts toward something new. Venus in Aquarius is experimental and prefers unorthodox relationships and partners. (I can hear the parents of teenagers groaning and with good reason!) Independence and fairness is prized in relationships. We aspire to being free-spirited and are attracted to people, events, and ideas that feed our need to be unusual and aligned with the future.
Venus in autonomous Aquarius can feel disruptive to established relationships and social norms; but remember its simply one stop along the cosmic journey for Venus. Allow yourself and your partners more independence and freedom. Friendship at this time is paramount. Focus on the friendship aspects of your relationships with loved ones; and if you are so inclined you might also find your friends evolving toward a relationship of greater closeness or intimacy. Explore, experiment, and be open to the unfamiliar.

Moon in Libra
The Moon goes Void of Course 10:15pm
The harmony-building Libra Moon mostly gets her way today cruising through her agenda with no obvious or blatant challenges to her peace-making efforts. With no planetary aspects during daylight hours we might enjoy a relatively drama-free day. Well maybe. Little if any conflict occurs as we do our best to avoid any provocative conversations and interactions. We are more likely to walk away then to engage. This lunar energy considers it impolite and certainly rude to purposefully instigate conflict. Cant we all just go to lunch or meet for a Zoom social hour and laugh?
Our hearts are craving a respite and a little touch of heaven and synchronicity in the midst of challenging times. Even though we cant resolve every issue, we can table some of our worries at least for a few hours. This is a great day for participating in the flow of life focusing on giving and receiving. If you have something to donate or pass on to someone else, do it. You might also facilitate a transaction linking a friend looking for something with the knowledge of how to acquire it or with someone looking to give or sell. You might make someones day through a purchase or receiving something they have to give. This is a day to share both our wants and our abundance. This includes knowledge, tips, and material goods too. If you want or need something, put the word out there.
On a personal note, my parents made a significant move this last week, leaving a home they had lived in for 40 years. Part of that move included giving away the trampoline Santa Clause brought to me and my siblings decades ago. I cant even begin to count the hours of joy and the generations of adults and children who have interacted and laughed on this equipment. The neighbor children were in the right place at the right time. They were ecstatic when my brother asked them if they wanted it and their parents agreed. From the squeals coming from their yard, I have to imagine they are thoroughly enjoying their present!
The energy is a bit crankier tonight when the Moon bumps up against a square with inflexible Pluto in Capricorn. Those humanitarian ideals may temporarily come crashing down in the harsh light of cold reality. This is a good reminder life has many shades of gray, and all levels of compromise. Just because things arent perfect doesnt mean we cant hope and aspire to higher levels of cooperation. Thankfully the Moon also aligns with Mercury in Aquarius and a touch of optimism is restored before we call it a night. Take hold of your thoughts and mind they are your greatest assets for creating your experience.

February 3
Moon in Libra/Scorpio
Void of Course enters Scorpio at 6:15am
Peace and harmony may be harder to conjure up today with the Moon diving into mysterious Scorpio. Not that Scorpio is conflicted; its just harder to read other people and sometimes motivations are far from obvious. With the Moon making conflicting squares with Venus this morning and Saturn this afternoon, we might be feeling some backlash. Getting into the spirit of all these planets in Aquarius we might be suggesting more independence and autonomy in our relationships. These attempts at giving relationships the room to evolve and grow may be met with a cold reception over the next two days. The Moon in sensuous and passionate Scorpio is likely to misinterpret these attempts as betrayal or rejection. As with most lunar connections, at least the effect is temporary. Recognize the Scorpio Moon is quick to pick up on any hint of rejection. Dont be alarmed if well-intentioned ideas seem to hit the wrong mark.
On a more positive note, Mercury in Aquarius makes a clever and innovative connection to Uranus helping us find workarounds not only for hurt feelings but also for challenging dilemmas. This often manifests as a burst of insight that can be used effectively by those quick enough to grab it. This will help us rethink any misses we experienced today and deal with the Lunar opposition to Uranus this evening.
Tonight rather than trying to cooperate, we feel an urgency to go it alone, or at least take a time out. This is probably not the time for a cozy feel-good evening at home with friends or loved ones. If someone feels hurt or grumpy they are not likely to be talked out of their mood. They will respond positively to kindness and allowing them to work things out on their own.
Daily Muse: Thats why Ill never run for office. Because you have to be too clean. I am not clean. Ive had a lot of mud. Forget the skeletons, Ive got the mud. And, know what? I dont want to have to explain me to anybody. (Whoopi Goldberg Sun Moon, Mercury and Saturn in Scorpio)
February 4
Moon in Scorpio
The emotional forecast is calling for grouchy with the possibility of outbursts. Eruptions are most likely to occur at the beginning and end of the day with the Moon in Scorpio fighting with Mars this morning and with Mercury late tonight. Its hard to hide our frustration and annoyance. Tempers flare and we tend to be more selfish and self-centered (in the negative way) than usual. With the Sun in Aquarius also squaring the Moon mid-morning we take offense easily feeling misunderstood and maybe angry that others are not taking the time to appreciate our needs, preferences and desires.
The emotional winds are blowing with more gentleness mid-afternoon when the Moon aligns with Neptune in sensitive and compassionate Pisces. At least for awhile we may glimpse the hurt in ourselves and others and act more kindly. This may or may not linger through evening when the Moon squares Mercury in Aquarius. Telling someone what we really think with a lack of tact or diplomacy can get us into trouble.
Days with high emotional variability is like navigating a sailboat on the ocean demanding but not without its perks. Even rough seas can prove thrilling with the right equipment and attitude. My repetitive but everlasting advice is look for happiness within yourself. Dont expect others to be mind-readers (except on 12Listen.com LOL). When we wait for someone else to figure out what we want, take offense when they dont understand or meet our needs, we are doomed to disappointment. Learning to deal with a full range of feelings in ourselves and others is part of the key to staying sane and functional. Know your personal triggers and recognize when you are going down the rabbit hole towards a full-blown upset.
Happiness is not controlling the emotional weather, but in learning to enjoy its abundant manifestations and quirks. And never forget, just like planetary weather, if you dont like whats happening, wait a minute. Its bound to change.
Daily Muse: One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others. (Nelson Mandela Moon in Scorpio)
February 5
Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius
The Moon goes Void of Course 1:20am enters Sagittarius at 9:15am
The emotional winds are blowing from a different direction today as the Moon glides into adventurous Sagittarius. We may not be quite as optimistic as sometimes, but we are passionate about being open to finding truth wherever it resides. This willful Moon energy makes harmonious and fortifying alignments with Venus and Saturn this evening which are the opening acts to a more auspicious hookup between Venus and Saturn this evening.
Venus and Saturn come together about once a year give or take a few months. (Unless it is a year in which Venus retrogrades which may create a repeat performance. This isnt one of those years.) Personally, I really like this energy because it is clarifying and leads to important decisions and commitments around love and finances and anything else we find important and valuable.
There is a no-nonsense energy with Saturn being the planet of organization, structure, and discipline. It can separate us from previous decisions and commitments if its light reveals a lack of integrity or purpose in these previous alliances. Purpose is everything to Saturn! What is your goal? What do you want? Why? Are you willing to pay the price, do the work, and persevere to accomplish it? Do you have the patience to remain devoted over the necessary time for a step-by-step effort? Dont attempt to argue with or fool Saturn in mental Aquarius. You will not be pleased with the results. This stern but dedicated task-master will show us the way to manifestation of our desires if we are willing to make the necessary commitment and follow through with loyalty and dedication.
When Saturn and Venus meet tonight there could be some disappointment. Old goals may not have materialized and will be recycled or composted in favor of applying our energies to what we most desire NOW. Saturn clears the way for new commitments and loyalties. Enter into an agreement today with the power of Venus and Saturn and be ready for action. Clarifying and agreeing to an intention sets it in motion. This is a powerful and auspicious time; dont treat it with indifference. Unless of course, you are not interesting in taking the reins and directing your path. Engagements and weddings are forthcoming for those so inclined.
Daily Muse: It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not. (Bill Gates Venus and Saturn tightly conjunct in Scorpio)
February 6
Moon in Sagittarius
Moon Goes Void of Course at 10:16pm
We are feeling positive and motivated, especially toward decisions we made yesterday under the influence of the Venus Saturn conjunction. We are already considering strategies and making plans. Today the Moon in hopeful Sagittarius connects with expansive Jupiter early this morning boosting our enthusiasm. It should be relatively smooth sailing through late afternoon when the Sun in Aquarius also makes a positive connection to the Moon adding a sense of credibility to our choices.
However, a feeling of doom and gloom may be building. Our enthusiasm and confidence starts to wane with doubts in early evening when the Moon squares dreamy Neptune in Pisces. Were our hopes and dreams nothing more than illusions and fantasies? Were we under the influence yesterday when we made this commitment? This is followed by a daunting square between Venus and Uranus mid-evening. No doubt, this connection can be fickle, unpredictable, and indecisive. Am I making a mistake? I agreed, accepted his proposal, decided to sell or buy a house, move, or quit a job; what was I thinking? Am I ready for this compromise, commitment, or change in my life?
Its quite fascinating, really, that a disruptive square between Venus and Uranus would occur so quickly following the solidifying conjunction of Venus with Saturn. We might be lucky that this obstacle occurs so early in the process. We can deal with it and move on. Even though there is a possibility we did act rashly around a decision, its more likely we are simply letting its gravity sink into our brains and hearts.
Its natural to feel unsure or scared making life-changing decisions. My instinct says most decisions made on Friday were sound and worthwhile. Deal with the discomfort and look at any negative feelings that come up which could be nothing more than responding to unfamiliar territory. Excitement and anxiety are nearly identical feelings! If you are really not ready to follow-though then listen to that.
Venus square Uranus makes us want to escape! But for most, adopting a plan and strategy and dealing with challenges will be a natural and even enjoyable part of a new path. If you want absolute certainty you are on the wrong planet. (Maybe you should have read the fine print on the Earth brochure.) We do feel somewhat reassured in late evening when the adventurous Sagittarius Moon connects with Mercury in forward-leaning Aquarius.
Remember Mercury is moving retrograde so there are some adjustments we need to make to our thinking and to our plan. Edits and revisions are to be expected. Our path lies ahead, not behind. Trust yourself and trust the power of a thoughtful plan with enough structure to withstand obstacles and enough flexibility to adjust as needed. Think of all those buildings and structures that have been designed to withstand high winds and even earthquakes. Strength does not preclude flexibility.
Daily Muse: It's very satisfying. To perform the way you want to. And the way you know that you can. (Aretha Franklin Venus in Aquarius square both Saturn and Uranus conjunct in Taurus)
February 7
Moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn
Void of Course Moon enters Capricorn at 12:52pm
We are emotionally ready or at least willing to put indecision behind us mid-day when the Moon moves into pragmatic and dedicated Capricorn. (Ruled by Saturn!) Maybe Saturn is having the last say in this weeks cosmic debate. This Moon makes no planetary connections until early tomorrow morning, so it has pretty much free reign to exert its influence.
We are tempering the Sagittarius enthusiasm of the last few days with the serious pragmatism of Capricorns view of reality. The scales seem to be swinging to the extreme; but dont worry; they will find their natural center and balance. Having weathered the storm of doubt yesterday, if we are still committed to a path we are even more devoted now. Assessing our resources and calculating what we will need in the future is part of the necessary planning. We may go a bit overboard today with thinking we need to plan every detail and account for every penny. We are serious and sober today about our ideas and plans for the future.
Probably not the best time to suggest an increase in an allowance, a bonus at work or ask someone to foot the bill for an expensive or lavish wedding or celebration. We are feeling cautious and responsible with our finances. It is a good time to look at our attitudes toward scarcity and abundance and the attachments we have to money and resources. Do we equate them with self-esteem or try to trade them for recognition, approval or love? We might want to consider what it means to respect money and consider how we judge ourselves positively or negatively around our financial decisions. Doesnt sound like much fun does it! But it can be satisfying to take more responsibility if we have been too cavalier, or to be generous if we have been too miserly.
Daily Muse: Few people have the virtue to withstand the highest bidder. (George Washington Moon in Capricorn)

Im tired of feeling as if I have to pick a side. Im tired of being taunted,
teased and misled by the media in order to get a few clicks or sell some product that
someone wants me to think is important. Im tired of having my adrenaline factory stuck on high, with an unrelenting sense of impending danger gnawing at the back of my mind. Im tired of people hurling flaming bags of slander and innuendo at each other. I want to move on.
For the past several years I have felt that I had to be on guard every single day, even though most of the time there wasnt a thing I could do about the status quo, except complain. Ive been politically aware since I was about 13 years of age. I thought I had seen just about everything, but our recent political, socioeconomic, and health challenges are beyond anything Ive ever seen before or could have imagined. Thankfully, it now seems that weve taken a turn toward a different sort of energy.
I went to my Facebook feed yesterday and found snarky, unnecessarily divisive posts and memes shared by people Ive known. They originated from both sides of the controversies. There were dozens of them, and they all triggered something within me that I didnt like feeling. Some people insist that one thing is the truth and others battle that idea. Let them do it without me. I stopped following all of them and unfriended a few.
When anger becomes systemic and as much a part of our existence as love, then it is time to change something, but not everyone is willing to make that shift. Im not saying that I wont continue watching the pundits I enjoy, as there are issues I wish to be informed of, but the alley fights that have become such a part of our modern mindset will have to go on without me. I need a break, and Ill bet you do too. This in no way means abdicating our responsibilities. In fact, we may be doing more for society at large by not taking the bait.
We are beginning to see progress when it comes to getting a grip on this pandemic. There is still a long way to go, but movement is real and there is an end in sight. I plan to honor that fully and look forward to the day when I can get to know my grandchildren. I look at this realistically, understanding that it will take time to get back to whatever we wish to call normal, although that certainly must change. I refuse to argue with anyone about whether its advisable to get the vaccine, or not. I offer my advice when asked and that is all.
The occurrences of early January, in Washington DC, will be a part of our psyche for some time to come. Im a man of peace and not one who seeks violence. There is no room in my life for anyone who feels the opposite, regardless of how close to me they are, emotionally or historically. Ive had to make tough decisions in the past, cutting someone out of my life whose views were toxic to me, no matter how beloved they had once been. I will do it again, and I fully advise you to do the same. Anyone who has the ability, and the desire, to set you off like a pop bottle rocket needs to be exiled from your consciousness. In the beginning, it may be hard to do, but in the long run they will dissipate, like a light fog.
Im sure Ill still discuss politics when it suits me, but I wont be drawn into anything. Im over it for now and even though Ive become a little addicted to the adrenaline rush, Ill be fine.
Lets move on. Lets fill our lives with constructive and positive energies, leaving the icky, antagonistic, poison darts behind. We are lovers of life and spreaders of light. We are happy to be here and by letting go of some things that no longer serve us, we will be opening our arms to embrace that which make us whole.
Until next week, I wish you all peace and love.
Take a look at our manifesto. Click picture to enlarge!
Thriving
Thriving is one of the highest vibrations that we can hold as human beings. It is the limitless, unrestricted, energy of LIFE itself which is continuously unfolding in infinite ways and forms. Thriving is a wonderful and expansive vibration that allows the wisdom of the Universe free reign to demonstrate Its perfection in our lives.
When we desire something, a new job, home, relationship, etc., we can get overly attached to specifics. We want what we want, but we forget that we only know what we know, and the specifics are coming from our limited human experience and the reasoning mind. The only reason we desire anything is that we believe it will make our lives better. Can you think of anything better than thriving?
Thriving transcends our ideas of perfection and includes all possibilities because it is a function of Spirit. Just say the word thriving and let it resonate in your energy, get the feeling of it and practice that feeling rather than focusing on the thing that you desire. Feel yourself thriving in every area of your life.
Neville Goddard said, Live from your desired end result. I do not think that there is a more perfect end result than thriving because when you are thriving, you are a light to everyone in your world.
Have a very blessed week
The Week Ahead
Monday, February 1st through Sunday, February 7
Astrological Highlights for the week: Venus enters Aquarius on Monday, joins Saturn on Friday and squares Uranus on Saturday.
Venus is in the spotlight this week, so lets talk about the goddess of love. Venus is the planet that is most closely associated with our desire and need to relate. Relate to ourselves, other people, the planet, events and etc. She represents what we find desirable, how we make ourselves attractive, and our attitudes towards what we find most valuable. She also is a big influence on our attitudes about beauty and how we express our unique creativity.
Venus encourages us to honor our natural desires, affinities, and interests. When we respond to kinship with someone or something, we are listening to the voice of Venus.
She reminds us to relate and to do it in beautiful and creative ways. The way that beauty and creativity looks and feels depends on the sign she is expressing through. The artistry of a perfectly choreographed car chase captured on film may be the work of Venus in Aries while an exquisite flower arrangement or gourmet meal might reflect the style of Venus in Taurus. In the words of astrologer Caroline W. Casey We are the ambassadors of whatever we love. What do we love? Look to Venus by sign and dont forget to consider the element and modality. Aquarius is a loyal and stubborn Fixed sign in the mental, communicative Air element.
As Venus changes roles on Monday and glides into Aquarius what do we love? A few ideas come to mind such as experimentation, invention, anything new, different, novel, unexpected, and futuristic. Living by tradition and abiding by conventional rules governing life, love, romance, finances, and creativity holds no allure! We crave freedom of expression, independence, and lots of personal space. Its way more exciting to think of doing what hasnt been done, inventing something new, and turning the world upside down.
As you can imagine, this could throw a wrench into existing relationships based on structured rules and strict adherence to traditional values. But the discomfort is balanced by the potential benefits. Venus in Aquarius is interested in creating more fairness, balance and equality in relationships. But equal does not mean identical partners. We desire relationships with people of like mind and with those who will challenge and stretch our thinking. As an Air sign Aquarius wants to connect, socialize, share information, and provoke.
We can have lots of fun with Venus in Aquarius if we value being free-spirited and unorthodox. Friendship is very important. In fact, when Venus is in Aquarius we may be more interested in our friends than in lovers. We are seeking true soul mates of the mind and spirit. This is a mental connection rather than a physical one.
And while we are on the subject, be advised. Venus now joins the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and retrograding Mercury in Aquarius. This is where its happening in the cosmos! And there is a New Moon in Aquarius on the 11th of February. Better get on the train without rails or be left behind. Retrograding Mercury insures we go deeper than usual, evaluating the security of the past verses the potential gifts of the future.
There is a special quality to this February and planets gathering in humanitarian and socially reforming Aquarius. Its powerful all on its own, but it ignites many sparks and debates as each of these planets form squares with Mars and Uranus in Taurus. Many changes and adjustments are inevitable and a number of factors need to be considered. Life is dynamic!
This week, we have a couple of excellent opportunities to learn and observe. Although thats not quite accurate; observing from the sidelines is probably not a viable option with Venus joining Saturn on Friday and squaring Uranus on Saturday. This is auspicious energy calling us to make and/or break commitments in our lives. Please dont skip these daily write-ups.
Before we close on Venus in Aquarius Id like to highlight a person who may exemplify this energy by living his life and making decisions that are certainly unexpected, and in a world tightly controlled by tradition and expectations Pope Francis (elected in 2013). He was born with both Moon and Venus in Aquarius so we shouldnt be too surprised if he colors outside the lines! He started his tenure as head of the Catholic Church with a number of breakthroughs. He is the first Jesuit pope; the first Latin American pope from the Americas and the first non-European pope in more than 1,000 years.
He has surprised many with his assertions that the church should rethink some of its traditions. Wait? What? I grew up Catholic; this doesnt sound very familiar. Although he has not necessarily broken with the church on issues of homosexuality and abortion, his attitudes are light years away from the historical positions of zero tolerance and judgment around these issues. He has even gone so far as to suggest the church could support some types of civil unions, and despite the church's opinions, it does not have the right to interfere spiritually in the lives of gays and lesbians. Reportedly in 2017 dozens of conservative Catholic scholars and clergy sent a letter to Pope Francis accusing him of spreading heretical positions on marriage and morality. Im no expert, but this sounds like Aquarius energy on the path of progress.
Im not offering these statements with a judgment of whether they are right or wrong but as an example of the energy of Aquarius. People guided by this energy are way showers with a willingness to shatter glass ceilings and breakthrough conventional ideas, habits, routines, and structures. Breakdowns often foreshadow Breakthroughs. Its not always true, but sometimes when we witness the old guard crying heretic we know we are looking at an Aquarius with the spirit of Prometheus willing to defy the gods in order to forge a path into the future. Not all rebels are enlightened; but may we be slow to judge the heretics, dissenters and non-conformists, for they may be the visionaries imagining a new world the rest of us have yet to see.
Until next week, let go and wear loose clothes.

Moon in Virgo/Libra
Venus enters Aquarius 6:05am
The Moon goes Void of Course 3:10am enters Libra at 3:25am
Have you ever fought or disagreed with someone in a dream only to wake up being angry at them? Or maybe you have had the experience of waking up feeling frustrated and annoyed with no obvious reason or target for your feelings. This could describe this morning since the Sun in Aquarius made a jarring square with bold Mars in Taurus in the middle of the night. This lingering feeling of competition and needing to get our way regardless of the costs should dissipate fairly quickly. This connection is energizing but also tends to drain away our energy especially if we direct it in inappropriate ways. If you find yourself stomping around or being overtly aggressive you might want to stop and ask yourself if you like feeling and behaving this way. If the answer is no you are already on the path to realizing you can make a different choice.
We get a lot of help clearing the cobwebs of conflict with the Moon gliding into agreeable Libra early this morning. This Libra Moon occurring a few days after the Full Moon (last Thursday) is social and a peace maker at heart. We lean into the idea of listening to both sides of a story. We may not agree with others but we are willing to cooperate and try to understand different perspectives. Mid-day when Luna makes a positive connection with Saturn its easier to find agreement with others, especially in business and professional situations. This evening, the Moons alignment with hopeful Jupiter bodes well for both learning and social activities.
Venus the planet of love and values makes an important change today, entering mental and independent Aquarius. The cosmos is building toward critical mass with the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and now Venus joining the party in this progressive and forward-thinking sign. Like a tidal wave we either get on board or hunker down somewhere waiting for it to blow over. (Hint: With Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius, this storm of change and push towards new foundations and norms is not going to dissipate anytime soon.)
Uranus-ruled Aquarius can be rebellious and revolutionary, but is also the sign of friendship. We tend to elevate relationships with people who think like us, and/or who stretch our minds and hearts toward something new. Venus in Aquarius is experimental and prefers unorthodox relationships and partners. (I can hear the parents of teenagers groaning and with good reason!) Independence and fairness is prized in relationships. We aspire to being free-spirited and are attracted to people, events, and ideas that feed our need to be unusual and aligned with the future.
Venus in autonomous Aquarius can feel disruptive to established relationships and social norms; but remember its simply one stop along the cosmic journey for Venus. Allow yourself and your partners more independence and freedom. Friendship at this time is paramount. Focus on the friendship aspects of your relationships with loved ones; and if you are so inclined you might also find your friends evolving toward a relationship of greater closeness or intimacy. Explore, experiment, and be open to the unfamiliar.
Daily Muse: Depicting the Pope as a sort of Superman, a star, is offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps calmly and has friends like everyone else. A normal person. (Pope Francis Moon and Venus in Aquarius)

Moon in Libra
The Moon goes Void of Course 10:15pm
The harmony-building Libra Moon mostly gets her way today cruising through her agenda with no obvious or blatant challenges to her peace-making efforts. With no planetary aspects during daylight hours we might enjoy a relatively drama-free day. Well maybe. Little if any conflict occurs as we do our best to avoid any provocative conversations and interactions. We are more likely to walk away then to engage. This lunar energy considers it impolite and certainly rude to purposefully instigate conflict. Cant we all just go to lunch or meet for a Zoom social hour and laugh?
Our hearts are craving a respite and a little touch of heaven and synchronicity in the midst of challenging times. Even though we cant resolve every issue, we can table some of our worries at least for a few hours. This is a great day for participating in the flow of life focusing on giving and receiving. If you have something to donate or pass on to someone else, do it. You might also facilitate a transaction linking a friend looking for something with the knowledge of how to acquire it or with someone looking to give or sell. You might make someones day through a purchase or receiving something they have to give. This is a day to share both our wants and our abundance. This includes knowledge, tips, and material goods too. If you want or need something, put the word out there.
On a personal note, my parents made a significant move this last week, leaving a home they had lived in for 40 years. Part of that move included giving away the trampoline Santa Clause brought to me and my siblings decades ago. I cant even begin to count the hours of joy and the generations of adults and children who have interacted and laughed on this equipment. The neighbor children were in the right place at the right time. They were ecstatic when my brother asked them if they wanted it and their parents agreed. From the squeals coming from their yard, I have to imagine they are thoroughly enjoying their present!
The energy is a bit crankier tonight when the Moon bumps up against a square with inflexible Pluto in Capricorn. Those humanitarian ideals may temporarily come crashing down in the harsh light of cold reality. This is a good reminder life has many shades of gray, and all levels of compromise. Just because things arent perfect doesnt mean we cant hope and aspire to higher levels of cooperation. Thankfully the Moon also aligns with Mercury in Aquarius and a touch of optimism is restored before we call it a night. Take hold of your thoughts and mind they are your greatest assets for creating your experience.

Moon in Libra/Scorpio
Void of Course enters Scorpio at 6:15am
Peace and harmony may be harder to conjure up today with the Moon diving into mysterious Scorpio. Not that Scorpio is conflicted; its just harder to read other people and sometimes motivations are far from obvious. With the Moon making conflicting squares with Venus this morning and Saturn this afternoon, we might be feeling some backlash. Getting into the spirit of all these planets in Aquarius we might be suggesting more independence and autonomy in our relationships. These attempts at giving relationships the room to evolve and grow may be met with a cold reception over the next two days. The Moon in sensuous and passionate Scorpio is likely to misinterpret these attempts as betrayal or rejection. As with most lunar connections, at least the effect is temporary. Recognize the Scorpio Moon is quick to pick up on any hint of rejection. Dont be alarmed if well-intentioned ideas seem to hit the wrong mark.
On a more positive note, Mercury in Aquarius makes a clever and innovative connection to Uranus helping us find workarounds not only for hurt feelings but also for challenging dilemmas. This often manifests as a burst of insight that can be used effectively by those quick enough to grab it. This will help us rethink any misses we experienced today and deal with the Lunar opposition to Uranus this evening.
Tonight rather than trying to cooperate, we feel an urgency to go it alone, or at least take a time out. This is probably not the time for a cozy feel-good evening at home with friends or loved ones. If someone feels hurt or grumpy they are not likely to be talked out of their mood. They will respond positively to kindness and allowing them to work things out on their own.
Daily Muse: Thats why Ill never run for office. Because you have to be too clean. I am not clean. Ive had a lot of mud. Forget the skeletons, Ive got the mud. And, know what? I dont want to have to explain me to anybody. (Whoopi Goldberg Sun Moon, Mercury and Saturn in Scorpio)

The emotional forecast is calling for grouchy with the possibility of outbursts. Eruptions are most likely to occur at the beginning and end of the day with the Moon in Scorpio fighting with Mars this morning and with Mercury late tonight. Its hard to hide our frustration and annoyance. Tempers flare and we tend to be more selfish and self-centered (in the negative way) than usual.

The emotional winds are blowing with more gentleness mid-afternoon when the Moon aligns with Neptune in sensitive and compassionate Pisces. At least for awhile we may glimpse the hurt in ourselves and others and act more kindly. This may or may not linger through evening when the Moon squares Mercury in Aquarius. Telling someone what we really think with a lack of tact or diplomacy can get us into trouble.
Days with high emotional variability is like navigating a sailboat on the ocean demanding but not without its perks. Even rough seas can prove thrilling with the right equipment and attitude. My repetitive but everlasting advice is look for happiness within yourself. Dont expect others to be mind-readers (except on 12Listen.com LOL). When we wait for someone else to figure out what we want, take offense when they dont understand or meet our needs, we are doomed to disappointment. Learning to deal with a full range of feelings in ourselves and others is part of the key to staying sane and functional. Know your personal triggers and recognize when you are going down the rabbit hole towards a full-blown upset.
Happiness is not controlling the emotional weather, but in learning to enjoy its abundant manifestations and quirks. And never forget, just like planetary weather, if you dont like whats happening, wait a minute. Its bound to change.

Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius
The Moon goes Void of Course 1:20am enters Sagittarius at 9:15am
The emotional winds are blowing from a different direction today as the Moon glides into adventurous Sagittarius. We may not be quite as optimistic as sometimes, but we are passionate about being open to finding truth wherever it resides. This willful Moon energy makes harmonious and fortifying alignments with Venus and Saturn this evening which are the opening acts to a more auspicious hookup between Venus and Saturn this evening.
Venus and Saturn come together about once a year give or take a few months. (Unless it is a year in which Venus retrogrades which may create a repeat performance. This isnt one of those years.) Personally, I really like this energy because it is clarifying and leads to important decisions and commitments around love and finances and anything else we find important and valuable.
There is a no-nonsense energy with Saturn being the planet of organization, structure, and discipline. It can separate us from previous decisions and commitments if its light reveals a lack of integrity or purpose in these previous alliances. Purpose is everything to Saturn! What is your goal? What do you want? Why? Are you willing to pay the price, do the work, and persevere to accomplish it? Do you have the patience to remain devoted over the necessary time for a step-by-step effort? Dont attempt to argue with or fool Saturn in mental Aquarius. You will not be pleased with the results. This stern but dedicated task-master will show us the way to manifestation of our desires if we are willing to make the necessary commitment and follow through with loyalty and dedication.
When Saturn and Venus meet tonight there could be some disappointment. Old goals may not have materialized and will be recycled or composted in favor of applying our energies to what we most desire NOW. Saturn clears the way for new commitments and loyalties. Enter into an agreement today with the power of Venus and Saturn and be ready for action. Clarifying and agreeing to an intention sets it in motion. This is a powerful and auspicious time; dont treat it with indifference. Unless of course, you are not interesting in taking the reins and directing your path. Engagements and weddings are forthcoming for those so inclined.
Daily Muse: It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not. (Bill Gates Venus and Saturn tightly conjunct in Scorpio)

Moon in Sagittarius
Moon Goes Void of Course at 10:16pm
We are feeling positive and motivated, especially toward decisions we made yesterday under the influence of the Venus Saturn conjunction. We are already considering strategies and making plans. Today the Moon in hopeful Sagittarius connects with expansive Jupiter early this morning boosting our enthusiasm. It should be relatively smooth sailing through late afternoon when the Sun in Aquarius also makes a positive connection to the Moon adding a sense of credibility to our choices.
However, a feeling of doom and gloom may be building. Our enthusiasm and confidence starts to wane with doubts in early evening when the Moon squares dreamy Neptune in Pisces. Were our hopes and dreams nothing more than illusions and fantasies? Were we under the influence yesterday when we made this commitment? This is followed by a daunting square between Venus and Uranus mid-evening. No doubt, this connection can be fickle, unpredictable, and indecisive. Am I making a mistake? I agreed, accepted his proposal, decided to sell or buy a house, move, or quit a job; what was I thinking? Am I ready for this compromise, commitment, or change in my life?
Its quite fascinating, really, that a disruptive square between Venus and Uranus would occur so quickly following the solidifying conjunction of Venus with Saturn. We might be lucky that this obstacle occurs so early in the process. We can deal with it and move on. Even though there is a possibility we did act rashly around a decision, its more likely we are simply letting its gravity sink into our brains and hearts.
Its natural to feel unsure or scared making life-changing decisions. My instinct says most decisions made on Friday were sound and worthwhile. Deal with the discomfort and look at any negative feelings that come up which could be nothing more than responding to unfamiliar territory. Excitement and anxiety are nearly identical feelings! If you are really not ready to follow-though then listen to that.
Venus square Uranus makes us want to escape! But for most, adopting a plan and strategy and dealing with challenges will be a natural and even enjoyable part of a new path. If you want absolute certainty you are on the wrong planet. (Maybe you should have read the fine print on the Earth brochure.) We do feel somewhat reassured in late evening when the adventurous Sagittarius Moon connects with Mercury in forward-leaning Aquarius.
Remember Mercury is moving retrograde so there are some adjustments we need to make to our thinking and to our plan. Edits and revisions are to be expected. Our path lies ahead, not behind. Trust yourself and trust the power of a thoughtful plan with enough structure to withstand obstacles and enough flexibility to adjust as needed. Think of all those buildings and structures that have been designed to withstand high winds and even earthquakes. Strength does not preclude flexibility.
Daily Muse: It's very satisfying. To perform the way you want to. And the way you know that you can. (Aretha Franklin Venus in Aquarius square both Saturn and Uranus conjunct in Taurus)

Moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn
Void of Course Moon enters Capricorn at 12:52pm
We are emotionally ready or at least willing to put indecision behind us mid-day when the Moon moves into pragmatic and dedicated Capricorn. (Ruled by Saturn!) Maybe Saturn is having the last say in this weeks cosmic debate. This Moon makes no planetary connections until early tomorrow morning, so it has pretty much free reign to exert its influence.
We are tempering the Sagittarius enthusiasm of the last few days with the serious pragmatism of Capricorns view of reality. The scales seem to be swinging to the extreme; but dont worry; they will find their natural center and balance. Having weathered the storm of doubt yesterday, if we are still committed to a path we are even more devoted now. Assessing our resources and calculating what we will need in the future is part of the necessary planning. We may go a bit overboard today with thinking we need to plan every detail and account for every penny. We are serious and sober today about our ideas and plans for the future.
Probably not the best time to suggest an increase in an allowance, a bonus at work or ask someone to foot the bill for an expensive or lavish wedding or celebration. We are feeling cautious and responsible with our finances. It is a good time to look at our attitudes toward scarcity and abundance and the attachments we have to money and resources. Do we equate them with self-esteem or try to trade them for recognition, approval or love? We might want to consider what it means to respect money and consider how we judge ourselves positively or negatively around our financial decisions. Doesnt sound like much fun does it! But it can be satisfying to take more responsibility if we have been too cavalier, or to be generous if we have been too miserly.
Daily Muse: Few people have the virtue to withstand the highest bidder. (George Washington Moon in Capricorn)

Im tired of feeling as if I have to pick a side. Im tired of being taunted,
teased and misled by the media in order to get a few clicks or sell some product that
someone wants me to think is important. Im tired of having my adrenaline factory stuck on high, with an unrelenting sense of impending danger gnawing at the back of my mind. Im tired of people hurling flaming bags of slander and innuendo at each other. I want to move on.
For the past several years I have felt that I had to be on guard every single day, even though most of the time there wasnt a thing I could do about the status quo, except complain. Ive been politically aware since I was about 13 years of age. I thought I had seen just about everything, but our recent political, socioeconomic, and health challenges are beyond anything Ive ever seen before or could have imagined. Thankfully, it now seems that weve taken a turn toward a different sort of energy.
I went to my Facebook feed yesterday and found snarky, unnecessarily divisive posts and memes shared by people Ive known. They originated from both sides of the controversies. There were dozens of them, and they all triggered something within me that I didnt like feeling. Some people insist that one thing is the truth and others battle that idea. Let them do it without me. I stopped following all of them and unfriended a few.
When anger becomes systemic and as much a part of our existence as love, then it is time to change something, but not everyone is willing to make that shift. Im not saying that I wont continue watching the pundits I enjoy, as there are issues I wish to be informed of, but the alley fights that have become such a part of our modern mindset will have to go on without me. I need a break, and Ill bet you do too. This in no way means abdicating our responsibilities. In fact, we may be doing more for society at large by not taking the bait.
We are beginning to see progress when it comes to getting a grip on this pandemic. There is still a long way to go, but movement is real and there is an end in sight. I plan to honor that fully and look forward to the day when I can get to know my grandchildren. I look at this realistically, understanding that it will take time to get back to whatever we wish to call normal, although that certainly must change. I refuse to argue with anyone about whether its advisable to get the vaccine, or not. I offer my advice when asked and that is all.
The occurrences of early January, in Washington DC, will be a part of our psyche for some time to come. Im a man of peace and not one who seeks violence. There is no room in my life for anyone who feels the opposite, regardless of how close to me they are, emotionally or historically. Ive had to make tough decisions in the past, cutting someone out of my life whose views were toxic to me, no matter how beloved they had once been. I will do it again, and I fully advise you to do the same. Anyone who has the ability, and the desire, to set you off like a pop bottle rocket needs to be exiled from your consciousness. In the beginning, it may be hard to do, but in the long run they will dissipate, like a light fog.
Im sure Ill still discuss politics when it suits me, but I wont be drawn into anything. Im over it for now and even though Ive become a little addicted to the adrenaline rush, Ill be fine.
Lets move on. Lets fill our lives with constructive and positive energies, leaving the icky, antagonistic, poison darts behind. We are lovers of life and spreaders of light. We are happy to be here and by letting go of some things that no longer serve us, we will be opening our arms to embrace that which make us whole.
Until next week, I wish you all peace and love.

Thriving
Thriving is one of the highest vibrations that we can hold as human beings. It is the limitless, unrestricted, energy of LIFE itself which is continuously unfolding in infinite ways and forms. Thriving is a wonderful and expansive vibration that allows the wisdom of the Universe free reign to demonstrate Its perfection in our lives.
When we desire something, a new job, home, relationship, etc., we can get overly attached to specifics. We want what we want, but we forget that we only know what we know, and the specifics are coming from our limited human experience and the reasoning mind. The only reason we desire anything is that we believe it will make our lives better. Can you think of anything better than thriving?
Thriving transcends our ideas of perfection and includes all possibilities because it is a function of Spirit. Just say the word thriving and let it resonate in your energy, get the feeling of it and practice that feeling rather than focusing on the thing that you desire. Feel yourself thriving in every area of your life.
Neville Goddard said, Live from your desired end result. I do not think that there is a more perfect end result than thriving because when you are thriving, you are a light to everyone in your world.
Have a very blessed week

Good mornin' little angel babies,
I posted a video not too long ago on my Facebook Advisor Grace page
"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it."
Matthew 16:25
Now, you don't have to be a bible follower to appreciate the mystical aspect of this statement.
In losing ourselves, we find ourselves. But what exactly does this mean?
I think it is important that we first of all recognize a concept of a higher power. This could be God, Deity or even for some it is values and science. As an example, I know of an agnostic friend that sets their "god" or "values" as truth, beauty, love, and justice.
If we are our highest power in this world, how sucky! We immediately eliminate growth and limit ourselves to what we know about life, and nothing more. But if we believe there are higher powers, higher understandings in the Universe, we open ourselves up to their intelligence and define our path in this lifetime.
So even if you plainly believe in God, it would be helpful to define (or ask God to define) what that means for you?
Is that love, tolerance
