We begin the day with the playful Leo moon making a trine to serious Saturn in Sagittarius, perfecting at 7:42 AM. A great way to use this aspect is to get “serious” about your “play”. Like we all do need to make sure we are balanced and having fun sometimes is a part of being balanced. If we allow ourselves to relax it leads to a feeling of greater emotional support, which ultimately is what moon-Saturn aspects are all about. Mars in Cancer meet Mars in Scorpio in a trine aspect today. This peaks at 4:17 PM but we should feel this all day long. When Mars and Venus meet in harmony you can expect some nice chemistry happening in your personal life, too! If you are attached to a relationship then try to plan to spend some time together today, time as lovers! If you are single go ahead and wink at the next good looking person your see today, and keep it up all day! The chemistry is there, if you let yourself feel it! Venus-Mars isn't only about sexual relationships though, what it is really about is allowing yourself to indulge in your senses, Whether you find sensuality between the sheets or if you find it at your local art fair where you can appreciate the colors and diversity of art, or if you find it in your kitchen where the smells and tastes can be absolutely divine, it is important to let yourself do something sensual today! At 11:24 PM the sun and Mercury conjoin in the midpoint of the Mercury-sun cycle. You can think of the sun as the “king”, and Mercury as the “jester” who does flips and circles around the sovereign entertaining the king with antics. The king may not always show it but he truly does value to counsel of Mercury, even if Mercury likes to play jokes to get his point across. With this aspect our minds should be active and relevant today. That means no day-dreaming and instead remaining focused on the issues at hand, even if we may try to treat them as a joke. Since this occurs in Cancer it may not be as light as in other signs but it still is a meeting of two important planets which offers clarity of thought and lightness of spirit. The gemstone to use today is ruby which is considered a romantic, sexy stone, to match the Venus-Mars aspect today. The essential oil to use today is basil which aids us in focusing so we may get our work done early and perhaps go rendezvous with someone special! 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, July 5, 2016 - The moon remains in Cancer for the first half of the day, this has us feeling sensitive, emotional and not afraid to express some of these feelings. Since it is the evening of July the 4th, I imagine many people will be up past mid-night. The first aspect of the day peaks at 12:24 AM and is when the Cancer moon comes to a trine with Mars in Scorpio. This is fun or exciting energy. Often times I will tell people to do something active with a moon/Mars aspect. Lighting off fireworks which I know lots of people will be, kind of reminds me of moon trine Mars. Not being afraid to create a ruckus, or being in a bit of a wound up mood. The following aspect is when the moon comes to a square with Uranus in Aries at 2:29 AM. This is not a great aspect for sleeping either! If you wind up not sleeping much tonight, do not be surprised. Uranus gives some inspiration to live in the very moment you are in, so try to live in that moment, as peacefully and calmly as possible. This might not sound so moon-trine-Mars-then-square-Uranus... So channeling this energy in the highest way possible is through doing something inspiring instead of crazy or reckless. Live on the zen side and knock this one out ;) Thankfully these aspects do not last long and hopefully we can get some sleep after burning off some of that energy! After this the moon goes into her void-of-course phase until the afternoon. The famous astrologer William Lily said that the moon void-of-course in Cancer "performith somewhat" – so maybe we will rest until the morning when the birds chirp and we have to get back to work and reality after the holiday! In the early hours of daylight at 8:19 AM Mercury in Cancer comes to a trine with Neptune in Pisces. The energy of these two planets might not feel so on point this morning. You might be talking into your shoe (mistaking it for your cell phone) or pouring the coffee in the dogs bowl by mistake. Try not to be too “fuzzy” especially if you were out partying it up last night! This morning we might not feel as bright as we usually do, but we don't feel bad either... Fuzzy or spacey might be good words for the vibe of the morning! Have some coffee, better yet espresso! … Mental note stop for coffee on Tuesday morning ;) The last thing today is when the moon finally ingresses into the sign of Leo, this happens at 12:28 PM. Let your inner actor or actress come out and play during the Leo moon. Sometimes Leo energy can be shy, so if you are feeling that way – open your arms to the moon and ask for the Leo energy to animate and liven your soul! Leo moon is a great time to express your feelings for someone else, be romantic or be the star of your own show – your life! Live it up under the Leo moon because she moves into Virgo on Thursday evening! The gemstone suggestion for today is Lepidolite. Lepidolite will help us feel calmer during the early hours of the morning, we might need some of that. Holding onto the stone rather than just having it next to you is best. Lepidolite has trace minerals that transfer into your body when you hold it, that actually calm you down. The essential oil suggestion for today is Sweet Fennel. Sweet Fennel connects with the energies of Mercury and will help us feel less cloudy this morning under the Mercury Neptune trine. It helps with improving memory and has a fresh and spicy scent. If you grow it, you can add it to your tea too, for a licorice taste. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow! Your Rock Star Astrologers ~ Nikki Rich and Starlene Breiter Happy Fourth of July! Here in the States it is Independence Day, the day we usually celebrate with barbecues and fireworks and time spent with family and friends. It is quite a festive day and I hope wherever you are in the world you can be grateful today for your own independence!
Just like people nations have birth charts. Most people consider July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia to be the founding of the United States, but the exact time of “birth” is disputed. Probably the most common time used us 5:10 PM which is known as the U.S. Sibly Chart, names after an 18th century British astrologer, Ebenezer Sibly (sometimes spelled Sibley as this was how Dane Rudhyar, another astrologer, spelled his name). But there are a lot of other times proposed and speculated upon. In fact, this is a huge area of debate for astrologers who practice what is known as “mundane astrology”. It is called mundane not because it is boring but rather because it deals with matters of the mundane world, like that of countries and politics. It is not the personal astrology that we are more common with such as our own birth charts. There are a lot of minor lunar aspects today but I am only going to focus on the main thing: a new moon at 13 Cancer. This peaks at 7:01 AM and falls directly upon the sun on the U.S.. Sibly chart(as well as all other July 4th charts for the United States). Perhaps it is my never-ending optimism that allows a new moon on the sun of the United States to give me hope of a new beginning. The new moon is conjunct both Venus and Mercury, so we have a line up of sun, moon, Mercury, Venus all in Cancer spanning 11 degrees. This new moon stellium is opposed to Pluto in Capricorn giving a sense that change, transformative change, is being demanded. We must evolve, we must change, in order to continue our existence. Things cannot go on as they have always done. I say this not only in terms of the U.S. Sibly chart but also in terms of our personal lives. The stronger this new moon is hitting your chart the more strongly you will be called to make a big change, leaving the old behind, and embracing a new way of being. Humans, by nature, are not really fans of big changes. Usually most people are dragged kicking and screaming into making changes. But here we have this message that change is imminent, in fact, it is already here, and we must recognize it is order to capitalize upon it. Otherwise we will find ourselves living too much in the past in a way of life that is no longer sustainable in the modern world. In the U.S. Sibly chart the planet Saturn, at 15 Libra, is square the sun and the new moon today forms a t-square aspect with that Saturn as the focus and also at the midpoint of the new-moon-Pluto opposition. What this means that in order to change in a way that is effective the change we are making must first and foremost be responsible. We must stop being so wasteful and we must consciously be aware of the power we wied in the world. This configuration of Sun-Saturn-Pluto can play out in a lopt of different ways but the strongest message is that we will either abuse out power or we will learn how to handle power responsibly. This is a large question that we all must deal with in our personal lives and also as members of a larger society, The Sabian symbol for the degree of the new moon is “A Hand With a Prominent Thumb Is Held Out For Study”. How are you handling your own world? Are you aware of the effect you have on your environment? We all have a much bigger impact that we realize, and this symbol asks you to consider the impact that you may be having. It also asks you to consider if you are shaping things the way you truly desire, or are you letting your dreams slip through your fingers? Just for kicks the Sabian symbol for the next degree, the degree of the U.S. Sun, is “A Very Old Man Facing A Vast Dark Space to the Northeast”. In my mind the vast, dark space represents the changes that are always unfolding and the old man is our reluctance to embrace a new way of being in light of the unknown future. This is the U.S., or at least one way to look at it. The recommended gemstone for today is sapphire which is a love stone known for promoting fidelity and attunement between lovers. Let us treat the whole world as a lover a be faithful and connected to the world in which we live. The essential oil to try today is melissa which encourages harmony while pacifying anger which is something I think we can all use. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow! Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report by Starlene Breiter and Nikki Rich Saturday July 2, 2016 - We begin the day with the Gemini moon opposing Saturn in Sagittarius. The mutable grand cross is mostly over with Jupiter moving out of orb but this lunar transit is like an echo or a memory of all the big changes we have been going through over last month in June. This aspect peaks at 2:03 AM and is only relvant for a short time so it is nothing to really worry about, but if you are up you may be feeling the tension of uncertainly about implementing needed changes, which is what the Mutable Grand Cross was all about. The moon makes a square to Neptune which perfects at 3:26 AM. We dream and we yearn for something more in life. Isn't there a greater meaning? Shouldn't we understand that there is more to this life than what we can see right in front of us? These are the types of questions that this aspects brings up. Next we have a square from the moon to Jupiter at 12:15 PM. I would expect this entire morning, with these three aspects, to be somewhat stressful. As I mentioned this is a translation of light among the outer planets involved in the Mutable Grand Cross from last month so we feel tension, we feel the need to make the change, but we fear making the wrong choice. Jupiter is comfortable taking risks however, so take your cue from there and make the change you want to see in your world. The final aspect today is a sextile from the moon to Uranus at 11:43 PM after which the moon is void-of-course. The moon-Uranus aspect may make it tough to sleep until after the moon goes void. Moon-Uranus wants to move around, in both body and mind. It would be great for manifestation work though so if you have some things you are working on manifesting this is a good time to talk to the angels and your spirit guides about your plans for manifestation! They may even talk back! The essential oil to use today is lavender which helps us maintain a calm center even when we feel under stress. The recommended gemstone for today is peridot which is said to help calm anger and fear. 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 July 1, 2016 - Can you believe it is July already? Wow, half of 2016 has passed us so far. This past June has been a challenging month for many of us, but don't worry the ebb and flow of the Universe always shifts and changes. The moon comes out of her void-of-course phase this morning at 7:44 AM. She was void-of-course since last night at 8:19 PM. Lady Luna is now in the sign of Gemini and a lot lighter than that last bit of Taurus moon. You might feel more social today and like you want to connect with others. Gemini moon has us up for conversation, word games, laughter and play. Why not do something fun tonight, the Gemini moon surely supports it! The only aspect today is when Venus in Cancer comes to a sextile with Jupiter in Virgo at 3:18 PM. This is a friendly and light hearted energy. We might feel like connecting with those that are on the same wavelength as us. These two planets are both benific and sweet, so make sure if you indulge in some sweetness you don't go overboard with it either! Rose is the Essential Oil for today. This is a sweet and lovely energy for us and we can all use some of that. Rhodochrosite is the gemstone for today. Rhodochrosite helps us to open our heart chakra and balance our energies and hormones. All times are in Eastern US Time. Namaste & until tomorrow!
