By Leo Knighton Tallarico Mercury Retrograde time periods are always around 3 weeks long, and come 3-4 times a year. The conventional explanation talks about Electronics and Tech breakdowns like devices not working. Conventional world view of M.R. also presents warnings of communication difficulties, unwise decision making, and not starting new important projects during the Retrograde time period. All these explanations and warnings are mostly valid, but they sometimes com

By Leo Knighton Tallarico Eclipse Season Winter 2020 can still be seen in our rear-view mirrors. There is more to process through, and hopefully each of us finds the time to do so, with professional support, or close friends, or time for being alone with yourself to sort through and heal from. The last couple of months brought up so much from deep within our minds, souls, spirits, and bodies. They have been “brought back up” into our awareness,  because we need more clarity, 

by Leo Knighton Tallarico This week we experience the last eclipse this Eclipse Season. It is a Total Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Leo on January 21 at 12:16 AM EST. Full Moons, whether Lunar Eclipse or not, always have the Sun exactly opposite the Moon. In this case the Sun is in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo. Actually the Sun will have just moved into Aquarius on Sunday the 20th, as the Moon moves into Leo several hours later. When they meet up in opposition, they will be in t

By Leo Knighton Tallarico We just moved into a new lunar cycle as there was a New Moon in Aquarius on Friday January 27.  It is a stronger New Moon than usual as Mars went into Aries relatively close to the same time. That means there is a strong movement forward into new beginnings.  If you have been putting off some decision or some task or some project or some adventure, etc.; now it is time to strongly consider moving forward with it. This lunar cycle will be an important

By Leo Knighton Tallarico This weekend we get through the half way mark of Mercury Retrograde.  During this current Mercury Retrograde movement I have witnessed more than a few people who have been swept into a change of direction. Often it happens that Mercury retrograde shifts our perceptions so that we consider changing our minds or changing the directions we had chosen before Mercury went Retrograde.  I of course advise that is best to wait before deciding to make major s

By Leo Knighton Tallarico A New lunar cycle began this past week at the New Moon in Aquarius on January 20. This New Moon was meant to give a spark of positive energy and hopefully a sense of forward movement. But this forward movement was countered in part by the fact that Mercury went Retrograde the next day January 21. Mercury Retrograde is meant to have us loosen up any tight and firm mental constructs or paradigms we have developed, to rethink our plans, to not be so sur

by Leo Knighton Tallarico Since the Full Moon in Cancer this past week, we have moved into the waning half of the current lunar cycle that began on New Year’s Day with the New Moon in Capricorn. It would be good therfore to start winding down with whatever stress you have been taking on recently.  The Capricorn tone of being held so responsible will be lightening up this week, in part also because the Sun is moving into Aquarius Sunday January 19. Whereas Capricorn expects yo

by Leo Knighton Tallarico Jupiter went direct last week and Imbolc is being passed through now, so there is some sense of light at the end of the tunnel of our winter doldrums.   New enthusiasm and inspiration, especially for future endeavors, can be accessed now. We are now in the second half of our Winter season here in the northern hemisphere of the Earth.   The Groundhog has spoken of light on the way for this coming Spring 2013. In the year 2013, Bill Murray’s Groundhog

by Leo Knighton Tallarico There is a Full Moon in Aquarius/Leo tonight February 26 at 11:38 PM Eastern USA time.  The Sun is in “do it my own way even if people think I am weird” Aquarius.  Opposite that planetary position is the Moon in “I think I am cool, I’m having fun and being popular” Leo.  How does that work if the two come together?  Michael Jackson or Lady Gaga come to mind as good metaphors for that combination. As this Full Moon is experienced, which is usually for

by Leo Knighton Tallarico During the eclipse season, and as Jupiter triggered the powerful aspects from the summer of 2010, important events have taken center stage in our lives.   The biggest and most important development are the liberation movements in Tunisia and Egypt, and the intitial spark of liberation and revolution in Yemen, Algeria, Jordan, and Syria. We have been letting you know that the Middle East is an integral part of the transformation from an old age and pa

by Leo Knighton Tallarico We enter the last few days of the current  lunar cycle, which began on January 4 at the Solar Eclipse New Moon in Capricorn.  The eclipse season, which began before the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on the winter solstice 2010- is coming to an end.  Jupiter in early Aries  has just triggered the cardinal t-square formation from the summer of 2010.  The big events that were predicted to change America and the world this season have erupted in Tucson and mos

by Leo Knighton Tallarico The most dominant astrological aspect in our collective psyches now is Saturn square Pluto, whose second pass is happening Sunday the 31st of January.   The first pass was on November 15, 2009, and the last pass will be in August 2010.  Therefore from October 2009 through September 2010 this aspect will be asserting its influence in our lives.  Though all aspects and all planets are meaningful and have a “needed” role or function to serve in our live
