Starcodes Sept 9 2016 Heather Roan Robbins

This week brings paradoxical messages from the stars; some aspects will slow us down and others stimulate events that need our attention right now. Let’s roll with the changes in the agenda, take advantage of serendipitous spontaneous moments, but let’s not even pretend we can control what happens. To work with these mixed planetary instructions, it helps if we dance with the paradoxes and explore all possibilities but jump to no conclusions. Look back to the past, but stay aware in the present. Take delays as an opportunity to make better decisions. Mercury retrograde in its own sign of Virgo adds a slapstick quality of outrageous communications glitches and brings strange twists of fate. Legal decisions can flip-flop. We may need to go back and touch base with people we know and love as well as people with whom we’ve worked with before and might again. Friday unfolds under an… Read More

This is a Labor Day weekend to relax, not labor. The astrological conditions are lousy for industrious efficient precision but lovely for introspection, reconnecting with old friends, helping, healing, analyzing woes and discussing what makes the world fair and lovely. It’s time to listen to our soul and share our thoughts. It’s time to listen to the dragonfly hover over the pond or dove coo in the corner park. As the weekend begins the Sun opposes confusing, drifting Neptune, which can leave us feeling fuzzy, foggy, waterlogged, or just painfully aware of factors which challenge our decisions. Sloppy or foggy conditions, misunderstandings abound, so does a perfectly healthy desire to escape for the weekend. Drift away, but be careful around potential water damage, storms, fossil fuels, or awkward alcohol consumption, all Neptunian dangers. A friendly and fair Libra Moon conjunct sociable Venus helps us relax and connect with one another… Read More

The most healing thing we can do this week is to help someone tell their story, and really listen. We can do this with one another but it will really help on a community-wide level. For the last month a self-protective Sun in Cancer (underlined by some truly difficult aspects) turned up the volume on our cultural clannishness and defensiveness. That defensive-aggressive suspicious edge could stay strong at least until Mars leaves Scorpio on August 2, but we now have an opportunity to step out of defense and into leadership. This morning the Sun joins Mercury and Venus in lion-hearted Leo. Think of the lion in the Wizard of Oz, he was expressive, warm, shining and entertaining, wanting to be loved and always concerned that he was not. He saw himself in the reflections of others’ eyes. He came off as the bravest of the brave but became cowardly under… Read More

About astrology, the recent crisis and the year ahead: There is no astrological excuse for terrible events, because we all have free will and choice. We humans usually live out the symbols of a transit, but each symbol has a wide range of expression, from the gift form through the practical issues to its profound challenge. Nothing forces us to live out an astrological transit in the lowest form, and it’s always our soul’s choice how we respond to the transits. Astrologers can see the patterns, note the triggers, and suggest how to work with them, but we cannot deprive people of their authorship. We don’t know what you’re going to do with the transit. The recent attacks in Beirut and Paris, and the consequent retaliation, was implemented while both Sun and Mercury worked through Scorpio, and the low note of Scorpio is obsession and revenge. Most of us experienced… Read More
