Today I Start my Life Anew...
We have a really good chart right now... One that shows a lot of opportunities and options that are available... Part of the Mercury retrograde lessons is to lock into our minds that all good things do not last forever and therefore there is the need to 'move forward' when the 'wind' is favoring us and our actions.

It's natural for astrologers to want to 'look ahead' to see what may be coming our way, so we can be prepared in advance... Like I said above, we have a really good chart right now, but then again, we also had a very good chart back in the year 2000 when the investment markets were red-hot... People were making tons of dough investing in these things called 'dot-com' companies... Putting their dough into companies that never earned a dime or were just start-up ideas at that time... It's the classic vibe of 'everybody wanting to get in' to the 'free money' gains being made.

Astrologically, one of the big things that was goin' on back then was Jupiter moving into a conjunction (alignment) with Saturn... These 'Lords of the Chart' are equal opposites... Jupiter was giving people reckless amounts of optimism while Saturn was raising the caution flag... In March, the NASDAQ reached an all time high of 5,000 and by October it dropped 75%... (Wooosh---Thud)... Right now, whether you realize it or not, once again, Jupiter is inching closer and closer to Saturn... (it is about 17 degrees away)... Jupiter will catch up to Saturn towards the end of 2020.

Let's get into this...
With this Jupiter/Saturn alignment, I am not suggesting 'doom and gloom' to the financial markets... In fact, some of us can and will thrive extensively as a result of this Jupiter/Saturn alignment... But for that to happen, you will need to see past the 'theater' of Modern Life... The key is to keep asking yourself 'does this make sense?'... To everything you see or are told int he media... (both news and social medias)... Tons of people (like my Dad) lost tons of dough in their retirement accounts because the fund managers fell prey to the 'dot-com' greed too... You guys know the drill, so I don't have to go into all that... The governments 'bailed out the banks' but what if that isn't possible this time?

Factor in that we have entered a new Astrological Age...
This new Age of Aquarius does things a hell of a lot different than we are used to... Aquarius has way of 'breaking the rules' or 'expected actions' in order to see and exaggerate the conditions so we can cut through the illusions and see things as they really are.

The next Jupiter/Saturn conjunction occurs in the sign of Capricorn (which Saturn rules)... So this energy will have a tendency to hold people and organizations accountable as Saturn's energy demands real and lasting value... The 'old way' of doing things just will not work as they have in the past as this energy is there to take us to higher levels... I am just really starting to dig deep into this transit as I chart out what the best courses of actions we can take, so I'll hold back my suggestions at this time.

Somewhere in the back of your mind, you would be wise to consider that this conjunction is only a year away, so time is limited to find and fix any weak areas of our lives or what or who we are depending upon in the future... The Aquarian Age will require a good deal of self-sufficiency.

We make our choices and our choice become us in the future...
...Choose WIsely.

That's it for now... I'll talk to you guys tomorrow...

Keep the Faith... Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...

The daily horoscope for Virgo is all about bringing more abundance and satisfaction into your life, and I don't just mean 'dollars in your wallet' but more of the things that bring you to higher states of inner joy and peace... A big part of this has to do with fairness, and that means making sure you are doing 'your fair share' of the needed work/effort... It also means knowing when to step out of the way and allow others to do the same... Even if they may fail or struggle at first!!

...Show some Love...
