I love the moon very much, don't get me wrong. However when it somes to eclipses especially the full moon kind, I reserve and maintain a certain mixture of being awestruck and jitteriness and this one has been no exception. Existential angst, daily life stress and the inevitability of all that life has to offer is not asuaged by the solar and lunar eclipses. It just is not. Having that mentioned, I will also add that I'm glad this last of the full moon total eclipses for some time, has come and gone. Taking place as it did in the sign of Gemini, I am certain beyond the shadow of a doubt (a pun there?) that most, perhaps all Geminis have felt this one like a son of a gun. I knew this month would be difficult for so many of us, particularly Geminians so I'm glad we are past the eclipse but there's more of the year left to go and the effects of the big eclipses, perhaps all eclipses partial or full, have often far reaching effects. A general note to readers is to try your best to take it easy, which may or may not be possible but it's always good advice that no matter what the stars (and stars and stripes for that matter) bring, if a cool head prevails; we (at the individual level as well as the collective as in the "Occupy" level) will be better off when the planets realign in their usual positions and the dust settles down. Yes, the year is almost out but it holds more surprises. Christmas surprises as well as all the rest, the ones that are of a serious note. Good will, our prayers and love will always help us through, the holidays and all the days we have in this glorious but imperfect world. Happy holidays, dear visitors!

Earth Element Grand Trine Weekend
This past weekend, we have been blessed with a grand trine aspect involving the sun, moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Capricorn.
Our luminaries, the sun and moon and the above planets in the three earth signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn made for one great planetary configuration and alignment. The grand trine is in a way like the grand pyramids in Egypt, a harmonious relationship is aligned in the material world and we here on earth get the benefits. We certainly need them.
The pyramids are not in a triangular shape for nothing. They shape itself as many believe was specifically used to concentrate power for the afterlife in these magnificent resting places to the Egyptian royalty and their families. There is something about the pyramid and the triangle that it is shaped in that allows for harmony but more on that later. I would like to find time to do more research on both grand trine aspects and pyramids but I will leave you with this.
Harmony is a beauty thing and also as we approach the season of harvest, the autumn; we will see more blessings and a more fruitful, harmonious and fruitful time ahead.

Comparative Essay on Religion & Astrology
I am writing what may be an article of interest to visitors regarding astrology and religion in comparative analysis. My background as a humanist with studies in Oriental and Western philosophy contrast the traditional religions. Tolerance from religious types on the pedestrian level is often difficult to come by and, I feel as though it is time for me to make some commentary on the subject.
I will post an excerpt from the essay in the near future so if you are interested, please visit and see it when it posts.

December Total Lunar Eclipse in Gemini
Another total eclipse of the moon in Gemini will take place on December 10th of this year as if the one we had earlier in the year wasn't enough.
I have a number of Gemini friends who have already suffered rather heavy losses with the earlier eclipses in Gemini so I was saddened to see that there will be another one toward the end of the year.
I am reminded and remind readers who may be Gemini to keep a low profile and put off any major plans of action until this eclipse which unfortunately has the potential to be very disturbing to pass.
I don't think this would be a very good time to travel for example or make major changes. Try to keep yourself balanced in terms of your emotions although that may be difficult to do depending on the nature of the losses which may be inevitable.
God bless us all, we are ever approaching 2012 and many readers may have knowledge of what we may be in for at that time. However, it is our destiny to be born during this exciting time of rare celestial events and exciting world changes and, it is our privilege as well.

Moon in Taurus or Moon in Gemini?
Post script to my last entry regarding President Obama's moon sign being in Taurus. I have just come across other indicators that the moon at his place of birth in Hawaii was not in Taurus but in Gemini. Looks as though the moon was either late degree of Taurus or early degree of Gemini and I am not sure how I can get a definitive on this but will try to find out and get back to readers because different references have given me different information.
If the moon was Void of Course or neither in one sign or the other, it may be the President Obama's moon can be seen to be "on the cusp," or between both the sign of Taurus and Gemini subsequently, heaven and earth and with a luminosity that encompasses both signs. I personally find this idea a very intriguing one and as an artist it configures in my mind a flock of beautiful birds flying over the earth when the earth is most beautiful (in springtime or the time of Taurus, the month of May). The arts play big in the life or character of someone with this aspect and the Commander in Chief is probably a great lover of the arts in all forms from theatre to music to painting and so forth.

Summer Trends 2011
I find it interesting that Weekly Astrology is the most popular of my websites. Somehow, I thought art would be of more interest but there it is, the stars win out. I feel a bit guilty for not really posting anything in recent days so, I hope this note can double as an apology. The individuals hectic life and or anything else associated with humans doesn't stop the movement of the planets and there's always interesting trends to observe and discuss, daily, weekly, monthly and yes, at the beginning and ending of centuries or thousand year cycles!
Good or other than good stuff happens. The planets reconfigure, rearrange and then or course, there is the good, the bad and the ugliness of the players, depending on which ones they are (male players, Mars, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Pluto sometimes cause major problems, sometimes not depending on the relationship they strike with each other and the other planets).
With the sun now in the earliest degree of Leo and Uranus in Aries, Sagittarians and other who have planets or sun sign in either of these signs will be getting the fiery boost of trine aspect or in the case of those with planets or luminaries (sun and or moon) in all three sign, the Grand Trine or triple harmony in the fire element. The strength of the trine(s) and Grand Trine harmonies in the fire element are associated with inspiration, courage, strength and activities related to performing arts (Leo), literary arts (Leo), appearances (Aries), prosperity philosophies (Sagittarius) and other positive trends that can really carry those who benefit by aspect quite a ways forward and with the auspices of good fortune riding these summer trends going forward.
At this time there are also planetary alignments that involve the earth planets and signs. We have underway, planet Jupiter in the constellation of Taurus for several months. It's a wonderful placement for Jupiter and the earth signs get the real boost and those who had planets in earth signs when they were born. It's a lush life aspect in a way what with the big focus on Leo now and August being perhaps the culmination of the solar focus on Leo and the summer on the one hand and the square or conflict aspect of Taurus to Leo.
Our President Obama is a Leo sun and Taurus moon person. Interesting to note that in the Tarot deck that I know very little about but do remember reading somewhere that the card for the World has a lion's head and a bull's head. I am not sure of the symbolism but we do have a rather high level person with that worldly configuration of Taurus/Leo and that would be our current Commander in Chief! Perhaps any real mastery of the world necessitates the hardheadedness of a bull with the courage and strength of a lion. Who knows, however that does come to mind when I consider that particular configuration and it's not without issues because of the differences in the two types, Taurus and Leo. Be that as it may, it's on now for us all with the focus on Leo planets and that beautiful placement of Jupiter in Taurus for several months to come.
Jupiter is in Taurus and this is potentially a HUGE wealth indicator. Those blessed with this birth configuration should crank up the muscle and make their dreams of wealth come true by taking advantage of this fine opportunity now and until June 11, 2012! Act now and count your gold at the bank later because it will be approximately another 12 as in dozen years before Jupiter returns to this astrological sign associated with wealth, abundance and all the finer things in life. Ramp it up. Crank it out. Do it up. Rise and shine but my humble advice is to just get it done whatever it takes.
With that said, I will raise the stakes for those with earth planets or interested parties otherwise and say that the Jupiter in Taurus position compliments and enhances the Pluto in Capricorn.
Pluto in Capricorn packs a heck of a wallop and can add to the prosperity potential for those who are in the industries associated with Capricorn specifically construction. With infrastructure trends about to loom very large, those in construction will be getting a tremendous boost and the boost is largely Plutonian in nature. Our aged and collapsing structures (bridges, highways, roads etc.) will have the necessary capital from the government to rebuild and in so doing to provide any number of jobs in construction for example.
Luxury employment sectors (Taurus) are in for good times also and we see this with the continued and seeming to be unending rise of gold prices globally. Gold is the way to go folks and will continue to rise as demand increases from new wealth nations (China, India etc.). It's no scam that companies are buying up gold fast as they can crank out the commercials to reach the public and, anyone interested in a rock solid investment (the pun is intended) should make their decisions accordingly, that's my hot tip for the foreseeable future.
Construction and gold, the building up and the mining and recall of metals (including silver from what I have heard as well).
I'm turning this into a saga so, I will for the moment end here and do a quick spell check and re-read but, the sense of guilt I have experienced especially upon discovering that Weekly Astrology has more visitors than my other, art photography related blogs ... well, I had to submit something and submit it quickly. If I have stated what you know already, sorry for that and if not, get thee some gold if at all possible. :)
Call your broker and you can thank me later. Had one person whose relationship to me I will not mention did not follow my advice about ten years ago when gold was trading at around $700 an ounce and it's now more than double that. It will not stabilize or drop in value any time soon so if you have the wherewithall get it while it's h-o-t, that's my advice.
Until next time, I remain your humble astrology analyst and commentator.

Fire Sign and Earth Sign Trines Underway
A lot has been happening and the planets are in very interesting alignment these days with trines galore in the fire and earth elements. I've been away from some of my blogs and ask visitors to accept my apology, those who visited and saw nothing new recently, I am sorry to disappoint.
I will be adding new analysis and commentary sometime in the upcoming week, in the meantime, why not visit my other art photography related blogs? Check out my other blogs and see some beautiful beachcombers on the beach at Coney Island.
