Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report by Starlene Breiter and Nikki Rich Friday April 29, 2016 - The Capricorn moon comes to a square with Venus in Aries at 3:07 AM. This has us feeling relaxed and enjoyable to begin this Friday for us. Right after this aspect the moon takes a short void-of-course trip until she ingresses into the sign of Aquarius. The moon moves into Aquarius at 4:47 AM. This is where she will stay until Sunday morning when she travels on into Pisces. The moon in Aquarius has us feeling quirky, fun and electric. Enjoy the Aquarius moon and let yourself explore things that you might not typically do. Aquarius moon is unique and eccentric, so let that side of you shine! The moon in Aquarius comes to a sextile with Mars in Sagittarius this evening at 7:19 PM. This can have us feeling excited and even a little nervous. Do something fun with yourself under this transit, spend time with friends or find a cool new place to visit. Aquarius moon and Sagittarius Mars make for an excellent time to explore the world around you. Venus then ingresses into the sign of Taurus at 8:36 PM. Venus rules over Taurus and is happy and content in this sign. Taurus is a fixed earth sign, and is patient, solid and refuses to give up on things. You may find yourself desiring to be in a quiet and peaceful environment and attracted to things that are quite Zen. This transit also has us enjoying the sensual side of the world surrounding us. Take some time to spoil yourself during this time, pampering your body is also called for. Whatever you do, make it something that nurtures your soul and brings you closer to a space where you feel loved. The last aspect for today is when the moon in Aquarius comes to a square with Mercury in Taurus at 11:29 PM. This has us needing to remember that patience are important! Try not to force anything but rather let things flow for yourself during this time. A great stone to use today is rose quartz which helps us to stay grounded and heartfelt. An essential oil to work with today is geranium which helps bring our the sweetness and kindness in ourselves and others. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow!

Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report by Starlene Breiter and Nikki Rich Thursday April 28, 2016 - All day long the moon is in Capricorn where we focus on what we can accomplish in the real world so it's a good day for planning, goals and execution. The moon conjoins Pluto which is exact at 5:21 AM. Something might be bothering us but it will take some bravery in confronting our emotional landscape, something that the Capricorn moon isn't very happy about doing. Much easier to focus on getting things done than it is do delve into the unknown. Often we become workaholics under aspects like this because we are trying to avoid our feelings but if we do that then those feelings are still haunting us from the background. The next aspect is a square from the moon to Uranus which peaks at 12:59 PM. There is some discomfort with the aspect, the tingling feeling that something is not quite right. You may fidget or feel like pacing around. The best way to channel this energy is into some sort of physical work … like go for a run or climb a mountain! It's the big day: Mercury stations retrograde in Taurus at 1:00 PM. I know some people dread Mercury Rx and while I am not one of those people I do think that Mercury Rx in Taurus will be even slower and more delayed than usual, if that is possible! But Taurus is known for taking it's time with things, you know, plodding along, and with Mercury retrograde in this sign things slow down to such a crawl that you cannot tell they are moving at all! If you have strong Taurus in your chart (sun, moon or rising sign) then this will likely affect you more than other people. If you aren't sure how this will affect you then we can do an astrology reading either live or by email to let you know how this Mercury retrograde cycle will affect your planets and houses. For me (Nikki) it occurs in my 9th house of spirituality and education, which makes me think it is a great time to re-establish my meditation and yoga practice. This is something I do regularly but could definitely refine and refocus. And activities that start we re- are good for retrograde: review, revamp, redefine, rediscover, repeat, remember, reconnect … this list goes on and on! We have until May 22 when Mercury stations direct to re-examine our lives and what is important to us. The last aspect of the day is a trine from the moon to Mercury which peaks at 4:53 PM. Even though Mercury is basically standing still in the sky our emotions can reach out and interface with our thoughts today. Our thoughts and emotions are on the same page, or close enough that we do not feel any internal conflict in the area, at least for the time being. An essential oil to try today is rose otto oil which helps us be more patient. We can use this today and throughout the retrograde cycle. A gemstone to work with today is smoky quartz which helps us feel grounded and solid, rooted in our physical bodies, much like the energy for Mercury in Taurus. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow! Your Rock Star Astrologers ~ Nikki Rich and Starlene Breiter Today has a very earthy quality to it! Therefore we might notice ourselves being industrious and grounded. This is a pretty good day to work on the things that you want to accomplish and get them settled for yourself. The first aspect for today is when the moon in Capricorn makes a trine to the sun in Taurus at 10:53 AM. With this aspect, both of the luminaries are in sync with each other! This means that our inner and outer selves will be connected and working well with each other. This is also a positive energy for connecting with those of the opposite sex. Next the Capricorn moon comes to a sextile with Neptune in Pisces at 5:56 PM. This makes me think of putting some action to what our beautiful idealistic world would be like. Even though you might not be super motivated during this transit, but you will feel highly creative and intuitive. Use this wave of energy to help you climb to where you want to be in life. Last the moon in Capricorn comes to a trine with Jupiter in Virgo at 9:45 PM. This has can have us feeling over inflated with our mood. This is a nice energy but it is not always super realistic, so just keep that in mind and enjoy the happy mood! The essential oil suggested for today is Sandalwood. It will bring about a comfort and sync to the earthy energies of the day. The gemstone suggestion for today is Tigers Eye, it will help you to feel balanced and grounded. 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 and Nikki Rich Tuesday April 26, 2016 - We begin the day with the adventurous Sagittarius moon making a sextile to Uranus in Aries which peaks at 3:06 AM. This is an exciting aspect and gives us the feeling that we should be taking more risks … are you feeling lucky? With this aspect in play you should be! The next aspect is a sextile from the moon to Venus, also is Aries which is exact at 11:51 AM. We like to relate to others under this aspect so it would be a good day to meet an old friend for a lunch date. After this aspect peaks the moon goes void-of-course which means that the afternoon is best spent finishing up old tasks or taking care of routine business. The moon enters Capricorn at 7:54 PM ending the void-of-course phase and giving us a focus on our goals and plans. Moon in Capricorn loves to work so it likes to focus on goals and things that can be accomplished. Emotional issues do not have attached goals though so it is not an area that Capricorn feels comfortable working in very often. An excellent stone to work with today is rhodochrosite which helps us to bring in new partners who assist us in evolving on a soul level. The essential oil to try today is grapefruit which helps with clarity, kindness and joy. 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 and Nikki Rich Monday April 25, 2016 Today is a day that you can accomplish some things if you put your mind to it. The moon in Sagittarius comes to a conjunction with Mars at 1:46 AM. This has us feeling energetic and as if we want to keep doing the tasks at hand. This might be your sleep time, in which case you may stay up later or even awaken early. Do something constructive with yourself if you do. Later on in the morning the moon in Sagittarius squares to Neptune in Pisces at 7:26 AM. This aspect can have us making poor judgments and being a bit impressionable. If you can delay decision making until a later time, that is better. This aspect is a moon aspect so it is not a long lasting one. The moon in Sagittarius makes a square to Jupiter in Virgo at 11:42 AM. Under this influence this will have us feeling a bit on the impractical side of things. You might notice yourself being a bit excessive too, just make sure you are not overdoing things and you will be OK. Lastly the moon comes to a conjunction with Saturn, but on Sagittarius at 3:46 PM. This has us feeling more serious and responsible. Get out the work you were to accomplish this morning, and get to it now! The gemstone suggestion for today is Mahogany Obsidian. This gemstone brings about a stable, and confident energy to you. The essential oil suggestion for today is Patchouli. Patchouli will bring about an earthy and healing feeling to the day. 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 and Nikki Rich Wednesday April 20, 2016 - The moon is in beautiful and diplomatic Libra today … harmony and balance are important issues, as is communication and relationships … as well as individuality. The dichotomy of Libra is the balance between individuality and relationships. It's a rather easy day with only lunar aspects and the first aspect is a sextile from the moon to Mars which peaks at 1:21 AM. The is subtle motivation, and we feel good pursuing our goals (Mars) that lead us to a sense of emotional well being (moon). Exercise is a great example of one of those things. The next aspect is a sextile from the moon to Saturn at 3:32 PM. This aspect means we feel supported (Saturn) emotionally (moon). We may feel the desire to work towards more stability (Saturn) so we can feel a sense of comfort (moon) with our situation. Focusing on what is truly important (Saturn) will help us meet our true needs (moon). At 6:52 PM the moon makes a square to Pluto which can be a slightly difficult aspect. We may feel moody (moon) due to suppressed emotions (Pluto). Is there something we are telling yourself that you are okay with when the emotional truth of the matter is that you are letting your head try to convince your heart to come along when the heart is really resistant. Emotional truth is a great phrase to capture the essence of moon-Pluto. For our final aspect of the day the moon opposes Venus which is exact at 9:54 PM. I find oppositions usually involve other people, and moon-Venus is often the desire to connect to another person although there is a feeling that the other person doesn't always understand us. This feeling of being opposed in our relationships can be bridged by just spending time with another person instead of yearning to spend time. Basically stop wishing for it and just do it! An essential oil to work with today is geranium which is like a good friend who can hold your hand and comfort you with anything you have been through, whether you are right or wrong and hurting or healing. Geranium is softly supportive like the angels. The stone to work with today is jasper which aids us in connecting to the earth and developing consistency in that which we do. 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 and Nikki Rich Tuesday April 19, 2016 - The moon ingresses from her long slumber of a void-of-course phase into the sign of Libra this morning at 7:24 AM. Lovely Libra and the moon are comfortable with each other. This should help that semi-disconnected feeling of the past few days lighten. The energies this week, thus far have been deep. Libra moon comes along and lightens the load a bit. Allowing us to once again feel connected with others. Today is a pretty Venusian day with Venus ruling over Libra and Taurus, and the moon ingresses into Libra while the sun ingresses into Taurus. A couple hours later that is exactly what happens too! The sun moves from the last degrees of hot Aries into the calmer, cooler, more collected energy of Taurus, this happens exactly at 11:29 AM. Sun in Taurus has our minds shift. We shift from the alert and energetic vibe of Aries into the grounded, focused and determined vibe of Taurus. Taurus is a fixed earth sign, this makes Taurus energy very sturdy. I always think of oak trees when my mind wanders to Taurus. The stable oak that is not getting pushed around. The determined branches that will seek the light and grow into all interesting directions to get to the light. And why does Taurus do this? Because it is determined, just like the oak tree, it is determined to reach the light. The mighty oak that everyone likes, as Taurus is a very likable energy. Being Venus ruled, there is a natural beauty that comes from the Taurus energy. During this time with the sun in Taurus, you can think of all the things that you are fixed on yourself and strengthen your curvy branches so you can reach the light too. The Taurus sun gives us the determination to do this. This is also the spring in the northern hemisphere. Time to watch all the beauty pop up from mother earth, something that the Taurus energy connects us to. If you think of Aries as the beginning of life, and the thriving that Aries does for us, Taurus brings that energy into our hearts and grounds it into the earth. In the afternoon Venus in Aries comes to a square with Pluto in Capricorn at 4:51 PM. This brings about compulsive energy towards the things that we love. It is interesting how the moon and then sun come to the limelight in the signs that Venus rules. Venus is really in the spotlight here today, so make sure the things that you get compulsive about today are healthy. Take your intensity this evening and do something creative with yourself, you might be surprised to see what comes out! Rhodochrosite is the gemstone suggested for today, I can't think of a better one with all this Venusian energy going on. It is a heart opening stone that brings about a feeling of peace. Lavender & Lemon are the essential oils for today. Lavender will help to connect us with Spirit and Lemon will invigorate us to keep us motivated. 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 and Nikki Rich Monday April 18, 2016 - We begin the day with the finicky Virgo moon making a square to Saturn in Sagittarius at 3:04 AM. This is uncomfortable and worrisome … like have we really made any strides in working towards our goals? Regardless of the true answer to that question this aspect brings a slight pessimistic outlook that can be overcome by planning and patience. And if that doesn't work these lunar aspects pass quickly so there is not much to worry about here, just give it a little time. We have a couple of outer planet happenings today and the first of them is Pluto station retrograde at 3:23 AM. What that means is that Pluto appears to stand still in the sky (station) before beginning to move backwards (apparent motion, not actual) in his annual retrograde tour. Pluto will spend over 5 months retrograde, as he does every year. He will start his direct motion again in the end of September. A lot of people ask about the outer planets and whether or not their retrograde motion has as much of an affect as say Mercury retrograde which is more noticeable and more commonly known to people with only a casual acquaintance with astrology. The answer to whether or not Pluto retrograde will affects you personally depends on your own personal natal chart. If Pluto retrograde is hitting a sensitive point on your chart, either a planet or an angle, then yes, it will affect you dramatically. If, on the other hand, you do not have this hitting your chart in an impactful way then no, this will not affect you much at all. An astrologer such as Starlene or I (Nikki Rich) can help you to find out whether this specific Pluto retrograde cycle will be affecting you personally over the next few months through either a live consultation or an email consultation. I can say from personal experience that Pluto transits can be incredibly difficult so that is the first question to ask yourself: have things been unusually difficult or challenging or hard to deal with over the past few months (or longer)? If yes then this is a good thing to look at in order to figure out what is going on and more importantly, how to handle it going forward! The moon makes a trine to Pluto which peaks at 6:09 AM. This is a like the heavens are giving us a blessing to investigate and pursue solutions to any lingering Pluto problems you may be having. Pluto can be dark and dirty, often including secrets and taboo. But the moon here is giving us permission to dig deep and investigate these areas of our life. Our next aspect is a trine from the moon to Mercury at 8:29 AM. Under this we feel our head and our heart our in harmony. After this aspect peaks the moon is void-of-course the rest of the day. The void-of-course moon often gives us a sense of aimlessness and lack of motivation. Or you find yourself in the middle of a project and don't have the energy or the direction needed to get it done. Give yourself a break and see if a change in environment helps you to focus better when you do return to your work. But please keep to routine tasks and work on things that you already started. This is not the time to begin something new. The other big occurrence today is sweet Venus trine stable Saturn which is exact at 10:38 AM. We should be able to feel this aspect all day long and even yesterday and tomorrow, too. Venus-Saturn asks us to take our relationships and our money seriously. Are we being responsible with our assets? What about in our relationships? Are we treating ourselves and those we deal with in an honorable manner? This is the time for loving commitment and to fix any issues that may be causing problems so you may move forward with more stability. Sometimes, if a relationship is toxic, we are better off going it alone than remaining in an unhealthy situation, and Venus-Saturn prompts us to take that into consideration, too. But in general, this is a time of increasing commitments, serious conversations, and grounded loving. The stone I am recommending today is rose quartz. If you read this regularly you must realize by now that rose quartz is one of my go to gemstones. It is soft, harmonious, loving, peaceful, and calming energy that assists us in approaching life with gratitude and joy and love. Give it a try and let me know how much you love it! Hopefully you will learn to appreciate rose quartz as much as I do. Today it should assist with both the Pluto station and the Venus-Saturn trine. The essential oil I am recommending for today is also a standby. Lavender has so may uses I don't think I could name them all in a hundred words but it helps us be both alert and calm at the same time. It eases tension and helps us approach things more calmly. Any time Pluto is highlighted we can get worked up over things more easily than usual so using something like lavender to offset that tendency is a smart way to use the essential oils to create more balance in your daily experience. 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 and Nikki Rich Friday April 15, 2016 - The moon is in creative and fun Leo all day today. She makes a trine to Mars in Sagittarius early this morning. This is a cheerful and exciting aspect. So this morning should start off on a positive note! After all it is Friday! Lady Luna comes to a trine with Venus in Aries at 8:44 AM next. This brings in an element of beauty and we might be thinking about how we can redecorate our surroundings to be more ascetically pleasing. This might be a fun weekend project for you to focus on! In the afternoon the dramatic Leo moon comes to a square with Mercury in Taurus at 3:30 PM. This tends to have us worrying a bit and a little restless. If you feel anxious, just know this too shall pass. We are coming upon some very powerful energies in the next few days, so like a wave ~ ride them out! Next the moon makes a trine to Saturn in Sagittarius at 4:12 PM. This is a nice energy for the remainder of the day, as it is the last aspect. We can accomplish many things through being patient and persistent today! An essential oil to use today is geranium which helps us look at the bright side of life, and we can use some help with that today! The gemstone suggestion today is celestite bringing in a calm and sooth awareness to yourself. 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 and Nikki Rich Thursday April 14, 2016 - We begin the day with the moon void-of-course in Cancer. When the moon is void-of-course it is said that “nothing will come of it” so it is considered an ill time to begin new projects. On the other hard it is considered “in domicile” in Cancer, or at home, so this is a good placement to finish off tasks that you started previously and also to work on routine tasks. The moon enters dramatic Leo at 9:53 AM. One thing Leo is known for is a penchant for acting … many actors have prominent Leo energy in their charts. One of the great things about acting is that it allows us to creatively suspend reality and “play pretend”. Kids do this all the time but as adults we have very little opportunity to pretend and this is something we need more of in our lives! So take a moment today, use your imagination, and pretend! The big aspect today is a trine from Mercury in Taurus to Jupiter in Virgo which peaks at 11:27 AM but which we should be able to feel all day long. An optimistic but practical outlook, the feeling like yes, I CAN make this happen, or yes, I CAN succeed at my goals if I take these specific steps and work to accomplish what I am setting out to do. Mercury-Jupiter can sometimes be wishful thinking but in these earth signs it becomes much more about the steps to get there than about the wishful thoughts. So take advantage of this! It is a fantastic aspect so enjoy! The recommended stone for today is citrine which helps us focus on accomplishing our goals. Citrine is also the same golden color as Leo the Lion so the energy will extend to today's lunar placement, as well. An essential oil to work with today is juniper which can cleanse our energy and make room for more creativity in our lives. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow!
