Astro Tapestry Report Sunday, October 30 to Friday, November 4, 2016 By Starlene Breiter and Nikki Rich The big news on Sunday is the new moon in Scorpio, but before that happens we also have a lovely trine from Mercury to Neptune. Think dreaminess, fantasy, imagination, inspiration! This is a great influence for creative work, as well as for spiritual work. The energy supports meditation and expression, both! The new moon in Scorpio occurs at 7 degrees 44 minutes Scorpio which we can round up to 8 degrees. It occurs conjunct Mercury and has great aspects to Neptune as well. Personally I love new moons because I think they contain the most positive energy and as energy practitioners we can harness the new moon in a way that is of the most aid to us. You can look at the new moon and where it falls in your chart to get insight on what areas in your own life are being highlighted. If you need help Starlene and I can help with things like this. The Sabian Symbol for this new moon is A Calm Lake Bathed in Moonlight. I love this image as it relates to Scorpio very well in my view of the sign. Scorpio appears calm, they appear as ease, they appear tranquil, but the truth is no one knows what is going on deep in the waters of that lake. Water represents our emotions symbolically and how can we keep our emotions calm? The moonlight represents our intuition and things that occur outside the light of day. Emotions are not always things we share with everyone, or that we show off to others, but they are often kept to ourselves or shared secretly. This symbol asked how you can cultivate a sense of emotional calm in your own life? How can you balance your emotional equilibrium in the face of unknowns? These are important questions and while we all might have slightly different answers that search for what works for us is really what this is all about. Let me say it again: new moons are the best time to do small rituals which invoke your intentions for the next month as well as the next six months. New moons work on multiple levels and by living in a more conscious manner, by adding these rituals to your life, you are deliberately adding intention to your life which is a powerful tool! It is generally considered that a new moon is effective for three days so if you do your ritual on Monday or Tuesday instead of today it will still work! Monday is a rather easy day filled with only lunar aspects and then on Tuesday, November 1, we have the sun and Neptune making a lovely trine. This is a day for dreams, a day for art and music, a day for transpersonal work and for cultivating a closer relationship with spirit. Sometimes under an aspect like this we have a hard time seeing reality but the truth is this is a higher form of reality, in the realm of spirit, the realm of angels. This part of our life is just as important as more practical things like paying our bills but does not always get as much attention. But today is a great day to focus on things that bring you closer to spirit whether that is art, meditation, music, or anything else. Wednesday is another easy day with only lunar aspects but on Thursday, November 3, there is a nice sextile from Mercury to Pluto, turning us all into detectives and investigators. This is a great aspect for figuring out what is going on under the surface as well as for discovering secrets! Our minds are sharp and focused under as aspect like this so use this energy to your advantage! Friday is another day of only lunar aspects and our next post will be starting with next weekend! Namaste! Nikki Rich and Starlene Breiter Astrology, Tarot and Reiki Practitioners … and so much more!

Astro Tapestry Report Wednesday, October 26 to Saturday, October 29, 2016 By Starlene Breiter and Nikki Rich We are changing things up here at the Astro Tapestry Report! We are going to start looking at a weekly overview and see how that works! Lunar aspects (aspects involving the moon) are the most common but they are also the weakest … they are no more than passing moods. So we are going to focus on the larger themes of the week and please let us know what you think about this new format! Wednesday we have the Venus meeting Jupiter in a sextile aspect. Sweet luck! This is fun, light-hearted, social and lively. Since Jupiter is in Libra (the sign of Venus) and Venus is in Sagittarius (the sign of Jupiter) these two planets are in what is called mutual reception which amplifies the power of this otherwise soft aspect. We want to play, we want to party, and we may overdo it if we aren't careful! But hey, you only live once, so enjoy! On Thursday the sun and Mercury conjoin in Scorpio. This is the midpoint of the Mercury-sun cycle. From our perspective Mercury dances around the sun, first running in front of him, then reversing gears and following the sun from behind. He does this dance non-stop, back and forth, around the sun, like the court jester he is to the sun's kingship. But when these planets conjoin there is a sense of clarity that is like a flash of light that stays with you, an epiphany, so look for those paradigm shifting insights today. Pay attention to them as they can be deep! Going into the weekend we don't get another strong aspect until Saturday when Mars makes a square to Uranus. Exciting! Spontaneous! Wake up, everyone, and let's go crazy! I mean that in the best way possible. Mars-Uranus is wild, unpredictable energy that if we do not embrace it can show up in our lives as arguments and accidents. So try to do something physically powerful today. Sprint up a mountain! Take a martial arts class! Start that new project you have been putting off forever! A very different energy comes into play later on Saturday when Venus and Saturn conjoin. This is about commitment, both in relationships and in finances. If in the past you have taken risks with love or money, today you will feel like creating a stronger foundation where security and trust is more important than taking those risks. Our relationships deepen as we commit to them. Our portfolio solidifies as we invest in secure financial practices. Commit to that which you trust. Coming up on Sunday is the New Moon in Scorpio, more on that in our next post! Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report by Starlene Breiter & Nikki Rich Friday October 14, 2016 - Early morning we have a soft aspect with the moon making a trine to lovely Venus. This is comforting and dreamy with the moon in Pisces. We want to feel safe and secure. This aspect peaks at 3:13 AM so we are probably asleep at this time, but if not we may want to feel loved and reach out to someone that we know cares. The moon goes void-of-course after this aspect peaks so we may not feel very motivated until the moon moves into the next sign. At 11:08 AM the moon moves into Aries giving us that kick in the seat of the pants we need to finally get moving today. Aries moon just really wants to take action so try to do something! No more planning, no more sitting around in meetings, but get something done! Mercury makes a sextile to Saturn peaking at 2:47 PM. Usually this is a problem solving aspect but honestly Mercury makes a square to Pluto tomorrow so I think the tension from the Mercury-Pluto square building overrides the problem solving nature of the Mercury-Saturn sextile. This three planet combination has us obsessing over what is really going on (uncovering the mystery) and then also figuring our what can be done about it. There can be some issues with negative thinking so if you tend to have a problem with this please be mindful of your thought patterns as much as possible over this entire weekend. Don't let the obsession take control of you! The moon opposes Jupiter in Libra at 11:34 PM making this a night where we could quite easily go out and overdo it on the drinking and/or eating. Feeling like a party? Just be aware that it could get out of hand with this energy! Have fun … just not too much fun! The recommended gemstone for today is smoky quartz which has a grounding, calming effect to offset the energy today. The essential oil to work with today is lemon which assists us in letting go of that which no longer serves our needs. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow! Your Rock Star Astrologers ~ Nikki Rich and Starlene Breiter Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report by Starlene Breiter & Nikki Rich Thursday October 13, 2016 - We greet the busy lunar day when the moon in Pisces comes to a conjunction with Neptune in Pisces at 1:16 AM. This is a great time for us to feel restful, dreamy and sleepy. WE may also feel confused or distracted. If this is a time of sleep for you, journal your dreams down for the night as moon/Neptune might just give you some ideas to pontificate over in your waking state. The moon in Pisces comes to a sextile with Mars in Capricorn at 3:10 AM. This has us up and ready to roll! Some may awaken early and some may stay up late tonight. This energy is excitement and nervousness all wrapped in one. The Pisces moon then comes to a square with Saturn in Sagittarius at 6:19 AM. This has us thinking more seriously and getting ready for the work to be accomplished for the day. This is a nice energy to start your day with, so you feel as if you are ready to accomplish the tasks of the day. A little later in the morning the Pisces moon comes to a sextile with Pluto in Capricorn at 10:20 AM. This brings about some intense feelings so do not be surprised if you feel things pop up to the surface. Knowing that this is a lunar aspect and will not last too long. The last aspect for today is when Mercury comes to a a square with Mars, it speaks at 5 PM but it will be felt pretty much from yesterday until tomorrow. This makes communications hard and us feeling either angry or sensitive about the way we communicate. It could bring about arguments and aggression if you feel that way, so its best to leave important conversations off until later tomorrow if you can. A great stone to work with today is lepidolite which aids us in releasing stress and in promoting self-confidence. The essential oil to work with today is sweet orange which similarly enhances our confidence and sense of well being. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow!

by Starlene Breiter & Nikki Rich Wednesday October 12, 2016 - The moon moves into Pisces at 8:43 AM giving today a wistful, romantic feeling. Pisces is inspired, dreamy and often thought of as having their head in the clouds. Pisces is great at going with the flow so you can try to make that your practice today … go with the flow with whatever comes up and see where that takes you! There are no exact aspects today so it is a free day. This is a rare occurrence so enjoy it! It only happens maybe a couple times a year. The recommended gemstone for today is sapphire which brings wisdom to the day. The essential oil to work with today is eucalyptus which I find myself using a lot when the seasons change to help any seasonal symptoms. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow! Your Rock Star Astrologers ~ Nikki Rich and Starlene Breiter Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report by Starlene Breiter & Nikki Rich Tuesday October 11, 2016 - Today is a busy and exciting day! With the moon in Aquarius all day today, don't be shy about being your usual unusual self. Aquarius moon brings out the odd but interesting things in all of us. We get started off with the Aquarius moon that comes to a sextile with Saturn in Sagittarius at 1:28 AM. This energy is one that gives us energy to help those in need. It is a good time to get a reading, as it can be very helpful under this aspect. Mercury them comes to a conjunction with Jupiter in Libra at 5:45 AM. This has us feeling excited and in particular excited about studying or communicating with others. This aspect will have been felt yesterday and will continue throughout the day today. You may notice yourself having big thoughts and ideas. Just know that as the aspect wanes down tomorrow you may feel less inflated about the ideas you come up with under this aspect. So let those thoughts go wild, but remember to keep at least one foot on the ground while you do! Next the moon in Aquarius comes to a trine with the sun in Libra at 12:58 PM. This has us feeling at ease with the opposite sex. If you have something you need to take care of with someone of the opposite sex, this afternoon aspect would be a good motivation to do so. The next bigger aspect of the day is when Mars in Capricorn comes to a sextile with Neptune in Pisces which peaks at 1:03 PM but will be felt all day today. This aspect gives us some energy towards our own dreams and desires. It asks us to think about the things that we really want in our lives and then to take some action upon making those things happen! So do you want a relationship? Go out and seek one. Do you want a good job? Look for one? Do you want to enroll in school? Do your homework and find the one that fits! Action to your dreams and desires is what this aspect asks for you to do. You can make it happen, especially today. The following aspect is when the Aquarius moon comes to a square with Venus in Scorpio at 7:15 PM. This has us feeling like relaxing and enjoying time with friends, family and socializing with those we care about. This would be a good night to make a nice dinner and enjoy it with family or friends. The last aspect is an exciting sextile from the moon in Aquarius to Uranus in Aries, it peaks at 7:49 PM. This has us wanting to be creative and unique. If you have been wanting to work on a creative project but have not have the time to do so - then this would be a great time to do that. As after this aspect the moon goes into her void-of-course phase until tomorrow morning. So this is a time that would be nice to get lost in some creative project for the evening. The gemstone suggestion for today is Lapis Lazuli. Lapis Lazuli will bring energy to your creative mind today so hold onto some or if you have some Lapis Lazuli jewelry it would be perfect to wear today! The essential oil suggestion for today is Bay Laurel. Bay Laurel is helpful with giving you direction and inspiration in the way of your creative mind. So you can see where it would be helpful for an exciting day such as today. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow! Your Rock Star Astrologers ~ Nikki Rich and Starlene Breiter Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report by Starlene Breiter & Nikki Rich Monday October 10, 2016 - It's a relatively quiet day in the stars today. We start with the moon moving into quirky Aquarius at 2:33 AM. Moon in Aquarius is great for breaking the mold and figuring out a new a different approach to life. Aquarius moon likes people but usually prefers to be alone in their own heads. That is always the big thing to me with Aquarius, and with air signs in general, there is always a lot more going on inside their heads than you ever realize from the outside. The moon and Mercury make a lovely trine at 1:07 PM. With the moon in Aquarius we try to rationalize our emotions and with this aspect to Mercury, amazingly, they make sense for once! When the mind and the heart are in sync it is a great feeling. We next have the moon making a trine to Jupiter peaking at 3:05 PM, giving us a feeling of buoyancy. We feel optimistic, positive, and we even feel hopeful. This is a great set of aspects for an easy Monday, allowing us to feel like we are actually making progress on our big picture goals, or at least that we are so excited about them we feel like it is progress. This is also a great energy for manifestation work. The recommended stone to work with today is clear quartz which is an amplifier similar to Jupiter. Both makes things bigger so be careful what you wish for while working with these energies! Too much of a good thing is possibile. The essential oil for today is grapefruit which compliments the healthy and cheerful energy of the day. We have a couple of big aspects tomorrow but they seem to promote generally positive energy as well so it may not feel as calm as it looks, but overall I think we are in for some pretty nice weather. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow! Your Rock Star Astrologers ~ Nikki Rich and Starlene Breiter Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report
by Starlene Breiter & Nikki Rich Saturday October 8, 2016 - Early morning we begin with the moon square Jupiter at 4:56 AM. This is an aspect under which we can tend to overdo things, especially things we enjoy. Please, please, today let us overdo the sleep! The moon makes a conjunction with Mars in Capricorn at 7:18 AM, dashing our hopes of sleeping in as we have things to accomplish and this aspect gives us the motivation to take care of business! Whether this means cleaning out the garage, going for a run, or getting a jump on a Saturday morning project we are ready to get to work. The moon makes a sextile to Neptune at 11:46 AM, giving us permission to take a break. If we have been taking advantage of the energy today it is time for a break! Moon-Neptune also has a spiritual feel so a good thing to do at this time would be some prayer work or meditation. The moon conjoins Pluto at 9:56 PM, which usually is read as emotional intensity. There are a lot of ways we can feel this intensity. It can be within the context of a relationship. It can be on the dance floor of a club when we feel completely in tune with the music. It can be by watching a scene in a movie that provokes an emotional response. Try to choose an activity tonight that allows an outlet for those deeper emotions. The recommended gemstone for today is amethyst which promotes wisdom and healing in all areas of our life. The essential oil to work with today is frankincense which allows us to view our lives from a higher, more spiritual perspective. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow! Your Rock Star Astrologers ~ Nikki Rich and Starlene Breiter Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report by Starlene Breiter & Nikki Rich Thursday October 6, 2016 - The moon spends the day in adventurous Sagittarius today and starts right off the bat by making a square to Neptune in Pisces at 12:12 AM. This aspect is dreamy and full of fantasy, perhaps to the point of avoiding reality. Sometimes under Neptune aspects we do get powerful dreams so pay attention to your dreams tonight! The moon next makes a conjunction to Saturn at 4:44 AM. There is something about this aspect that is like a very early morning flight that you have to make and cannot miss. Deadlines. Responsibility. Duty. The last aspect of the day with a refreshing sextile from the moon to the sun peaking at 8:02 AM, figuratively brightening up our day. The moon is waxing and as the sun and moon aspect in this harmonious manner we feel optimistic and more light-hearted. It is a good note on which to start the day. A great stone to work with today is lepidolite which aids us in releasing stress and in promoting self-confidence. The essential oil to work with today is sweet orange which similarly enhances our confidence and sense of well being. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow! Your Rock Star Astrologers ~ Nikki Rich and Starlene Breiter Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report by Starlene Breiter & Nikki Rich Wednesday October 5, 2016 - The moon enter into the jovial and free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius this morning at 4:26 AM. This is where she will hang until early Friday morning. When the moon is in Sagittarius we might be thinking of traveling or far way places. Our minds might also be occupied with philosophy or curiosity of spirituality. The one thing about Sagittarius is that Sagittarius has an open mind and is often able to think outside of the box. Contemplation of things bigger than what is right in front of your face is another way to celebrate the Sagittarius moon. The Sagittarius moon comes to a sextile with Jupiter in Libra at 3:56 PM. This is a cheerful energy, we might feel like being cooperative with collective projects at this time. If not, then we might just feel like having some fun or in a nice mood, as this is a lunar transit and doesn't last but a few hours on each side of the peak of the aspect. The first important aspect in the skies today is when Venus in Scorpio makes a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn at 5:22. This aspect is with planets and not luminaries so it will be felt from late last night until early tomorrow. When I think of Venus and Pluto, "obsessive behavior" comes to mind concerning others in your life. In particular those you are in love relationships with. Since this aspect is a sextile which is considered a softer aspect it is nudging you to take some action on expressing your passions and compassion for those that you love. Sometimes a good conversation or a time to just spend talking with your loved ones is good. I highly suggest this time to deepen any relationship you are with this energy but caution you to not get like all crazy obsessive with it. In healthy relationships we need to be individuals and a couple at the same time. - this stands for any relationship, not just love relationships - Otherwise it becomes something co-dependent and can become a struggle. So you might even think about things you hold deep inside and bring them out in a loving way to your sweetie. Or if you are single take this day to get really real with yourself, and ask yourself - How is it that you love yourself? I am not just talking about superficial stuff either. But - how do you care for your soul? Do you give yourself time to settle into yourself every day or are you always doing for others and forget you? Do you meditate daily? Do you honor your time alone and give yourself time to do self-care? Are you taking care of your body, not in an obsessive way - but a way that is healthy? Also are you expressing your love in ways of creativity? Venus Pluto can be super cathartic in art! The second important aspect for today is when Mars in Capricorn comes to a square with Jupiter in Libra at 5:45 PM. This is also felt all day today and this time the aspect is a square which tends to be considered a hard aspect. The two planets that are connected are considered difficult to say the least. (Mars) the challenging of the two planets, and Jupiter which makes things big. Put in a square angle like this can have us feeling agitated and in a big way. Unlike the aspect that just passed its going to be a more difficult aspect for the day, so you may find yourself vacillating between feeling what I just mentioned about Venus sextile Pluto and this aspect. Mars in this square is inflated by Jupiter and them being in cardinal signs kind of makes us want to do one of two things. We might want to just spend time alone. Or we may feel agitated and a desire to kind of run away from everything to be alone. Try to channel this energy into something positive. It is a good aspect for sports or for doing something by yourself - like running. You might even just go for a walk at some point today to enjoy the scenery around you. The gemstone suggestion for today is Fluorite. Fluorite will help you be calm and bring out things in your psyche that you may have buried. The essential oil suggestion for today is Angelica. Angelica encourages on to grow and to focus their stamina on that growth. This essential oil can also help us sense those inner visions about ourselves and a way to express them in a positive way. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow! Your Rock Star Astrologers ~ Nikki Rich and Starlene Breiter |
