THE FULL MOON IN ARIES
The last Brain Dump™ was October 6, 2016 called, Mercury in Libra
There is a Full Moon in Aries at 23 degrees 14 minutes on Sunday, October 16, 2016. This is your 6th month check-up to the New Moon in Aries that occurred 6 months ago on Thursday, April 7, 2016. What was that 'new beginning' or 'fresh start' that you initiated at that time because it is now time for your 6th month check-up to see how you are coming along. You should be well into your project or well on your way into turning over that new leaf.
Aries rules how other's see you, the personality, attitude, how you see the world, how you look, appearances, your worldly outlook, and self-awareness and how you respond. It describes how you see yourself and how others see you. It can also describe your physical appearance. Other keywords include: the self, ego, anima, projected image, expression of inner motivation, soul purpose, initial approach to life, the aura.
Libra rules partnerships, unions, committments, contracts, marriages, agreements, and open enemies with the public (lawsuits). Other keywords include: business partnerships, long-term associations, open enemies, the animus (underlying passion or force), the relationship between soul and personality.
So you can easily see here that we have here the situation .... I Am vs. We Are .... Me vs. Us .... Myself vs. Ourselves .... I can do it myself vs. I need help .... Lone survivor vs. Helpmate .... Singularity vs. Duality .... On my own vs. The two of us.
This is an identity situation that is all about the self (Aries) vs. ourselves (Libra). This is where couples run into problems because of the tug of war with what one individual wants vs. what is best for the couple. Typically if one couple is fighting for their own way, then they are in 'me' mode and not 'we' mode because they are ultimately looking out for their own Good, not the Good of the couple. This might not be a 'romantic couple' relationship at all, it could be an opposition in the career sector, home sector or money sector for your Sun Sign. (See below) The Aries Full Moon will shine a bright light where any issues will be brought to the surface including all of the emotions surrounding it.
This Full Moon in Aries is accompanied by Uranus in Aries at 22 degrees snuggling right up against the Moon in Aries at 23 degrees and opposing the Sun at 23 degrees. Uranus is the planet of having the carpet pulled right out from underneath you or having such a sudden change in circumstance that you didn't see it coming. Uranus and the Sun are in opposition to each other and are not friendly neighbors. They don't like being opposite opponents. First of all the Sun is naturally ruled by Leo, and Uranus is naturally ruled by Aquarius. Leo and Aquarius are opposite signs, so you see how this energy is challenged from the get go. This is a face-off, which can make the energy unpredictable and argumentative, where just about everyone feels like their individuality is being thrwarted or squashed. This makes for antsy individuals who are a bit impatient and irritable. Folks, this change could very well be Good because you do have a responsibility to recognize the energy and do with it what you may. I know the easy route is to think bad things, but its just as easy to entertain the notion that this could be exactly what you have been waiting for, only better. Certainly Mars and Pluto are conjunct (within 3 degrees of each other) but they are not close enough in degrees to reach out and touch this Full Moon.
When the Full Moon is lit up and bright, it is shining a tremendous amount of Light on the issue at hand. This Full Moon will Light up the area of your natal chart that is ruled by Aries and Libra, especially the area at 23 degrees, which I have indicated below. The Moon is the planet that rules our emotional nature. Folks, this Moon could easily pull you into your own ego (Aries) or the lure of sharing your Life with another (Libra).
Since the Full Moon is in Aries it is really all about the house of Aries in your chart, so use this time to do that 6 month check-up on yourself that began 6 months ago. Not only is this about the self vs. the couple but the relationship between the personality (Aries) and the soul (Libra). Use the Guidance button to left on this website and use the prayers, affirmations, novenas, information on meditation, etc., to help you get to the place that you need to be. Stay Astrologized™

This opposition involves your 1st (Aries) and 7th (Libra) houses. The 1st house of identity and how other's see you. This house also rules the personality, your attitude, how you see the world, how you look, appearances, your worldly outlook, and self-awareness and how you respond. It includes the self, ego, anima, projected image, expression of inner motivation, soul purpose, initial approach to life and your aura. Take special note that this first house rules your soul's purpose and your inner motivation. And the 7th house of contractual relationships. This house also rules unions, lawsuits, contracts, partnerships, marriages, agreements, and open enemies with the public. This can be partnerships in business, marriage or a committed relationship that is a live-in arrangement. It also includes long-term associations, the animus (underlying passion or force), the relationship between soul and personality. Read more about what the 12 houses rule here!
You may experience some conflict in your relationship and accuse the partner of not being there for you and being unsupportive. There is a high probability that your behavior will come across as selfish and self-centered. You may even be called a self-centered type of name. And you may not really give a rat! It will be easier to deal with this Full Moon in Aries when you remember that the other person is also dealing with the Full Moon in Aries. Contrary to Aries belief, the world does not revolve around you. While it is certainly affecting your Sun Sign the most, it is also affecting relationships. With Uranus near this could cause you to throw yourself down on the floor in a temper-tantrum and then burst the relationship bubble. Take it down about 10 notches because there is also the per chance that you are on the floor throwing a hissy fit while opportunity walks right on by. Aries and Libra are going through the same thing since the same houses are involved except the houses are flipped.

This opposition involves your 6th (Libra) and 12th (Aries) houses. The 6th house of daily life, health, hygiene, food, work ethic, employees, service, skills, servants, clothing and sickness.

And the 12th house of the hidden realm, subconscious, past, pain, karma, jails, institutions, hospitals, mental health, finances of friends, secret sorrows, fears, self-destruction, large animals, skeletons in closet, self-undoing and self-injury. It is about your hidden strengths, weaknesses and what you don't want others to see or know about you, unredeemed karma and selfless service to humanity. Refrain from letting this house frighten you because it is necessary that you look at your own self-undoing in order to keep yourself on the straight path. Read more about what the 12 houses rule here!
There is a pretty high probability that you are doing too much to help others. In other word, you can only do so much and then others have to help themelves. Instead of doing the fishing for others, how about teaching them how to fish. You can easily find yourself in rescue mode as you try to become the caped crusader saving everyone from themselves, and then there will be nothing left for yourself. Ohhhhh, put your mask on first dear Taurus. These two houses have everything to do with health, so you must take care of yourself first, especially your psychological and mental health, which is evidenced by the 12th house (Aries) in your solar chart. Your hidden strength is your ability to hold someone else up when they are down, but they are not to lean on you, hold onto you and pull you down in the process. Taurus and Scorpio are going through the same thing since the same houses are involved except the houses are flipped.

It is also about your hopes, wishes, dreams and the future. Read more about what the 12 houses rule here!
You may find yourself pulling further and further away from some friends and just doing your own thing. It's probably just time to move on, but in the process there may be some tension that tells you that moving on is the right decision. You probably sensed this back in April and just let it go. This may cause some friction with a relationship or you may just be feeling frustrated that you take it out on your Loved ones. That's not fair, so straighten yourself up. This tug-of-war may have you pushing a Loved one to take sides when it is none of their business. You may even feel like arguing with a friend and setting the record straight but then ultimately decide that its just time to move on and no words are necessary. Depending on your level of maturity will depend on how you handle this break in friendship. You may withdraw for a bit and that just might be a great idea in order to calm your nerves. This 5th house rules drama, evenso, there is no need to dramatize this in your Love relationship. Gemini and Sagittarius are going through the same thing since the same houses are involved except the houses are flipped.

You may be finding it very very hard to gain some respect from your home life and your career life. The tug-of-war between these two houses is leaving you feeling anything but Good. You may feel so frustrated with your career that you feel like giving up, and then there is the issue of family who does not understand what you are going through. The emotional support that you need does not seem to be there, which frustrates you even more. You may feel like saying, "Damn, I just can't win!" You may be feeling negative, insecure and tense. The good news is this is always the way it feels when you are one yard away from the goal line. It's always like that. Do your best to calm your nerves in any way you can. It may take all week to get to that point. But this too shall pass and you will be back on track again. You may feel so uncertain about your career that you feel alone in your career and lonely at home. It's just frustrating. During this time, recognize yourself for your efforts because right now, you may be the only who sees it. Cancer and Capricorn are going through the same thing since the same houses are involved except the houses are flipped.

Cat scratch fever? You will really need to self-monitor your tone, body language, verbage and level of communication because you could end up saying something that goes just a bit too far and then find yourself in a tangled war of words. You may end up repeating something that is false that causes someone else to call someone in a position of authority (like a lawyer). I know, this is weird energy but you will really need to watch your temper because this could make you say things that end up classified as 'libel' or 'defamation'. Your 3rd house wants you to talk sweetly. Maybe you could call a sibling who will let your run your mouth so that you don't accidentally say what you really want to say outloud and then up getting recorded or videotaped. A lot of people are real anxious to hold up their phones these days and start recording. Look up the words 'libel' and 'defamation' so you are very aware of what they mean so you will know exactly what not to do. While this could be a great time for you to publish your writings on a blog or website (or even a book), make certain you stay on the sweeter side of yourself. Leo and Aquarius are going through the same thing since the same houses are involved except the houses are flipped.

Read more about what the 12 houses rule here!
There is a problem going down that has to do with your level of self-worth. Perhaps you feel unworthy or worth less. Not worthless, but worth less, because someone is not paying you what you feel you are worth. Perhaps a conversation is in order but not right now, not during this Full Moon while the emotions are so high. Wait about 5 to 7 days before you break into that converation with the person who is in charge of your pay. There may be power struggles that occur when bringing up the subject of money. This could be a power struggle with the one who controls the money or it could be with the spouse over money because this 8th house rules the spouse's income. There may be a level of trust that gets questioned and confronted. You are looking out for your best interest which is exactly what you should be doing. Your interest have your attention, while their interest (money) has their attention. This could be a battle of wills. Virgo and Pisces are going through the same thing since the same houses are involved except the houses are flipped.

MERCURY IN LIBRA
The last Brain Dump™ was October 5, 2016 called, The Universal Womb Called, "Mom"
Mercury moves intO Libra on Friday, October 7, 2016 at 3:56 AM EDT until Monday, October 24, 2016. That's 18 days of Mercury in Libra, which is just about right. Mercury moves through all 12 Sun Signs pretty darn fast, but not as quickly as the Moon does spending only 2 to 2-1/2 days in a sign where as Mercury spends about 17 or 18 days in a sign before it moves on to the next sign.
Mercury stands for the intellect, common sense, cold reason, commerce and business. Its qualities are fluidity and versatility. Its position and aspects tell us about our communication and learning habits and our modes of thinking. The house that Mercury occupies in your Natal Chart is where these characteristics will manifest the most.
This Mercury in Libra transit focus on the right relations with people. In fact, the psychology of 'right relationships' is going to be a bigger topic of conversation and investigation right now. Did you know that Mercury in Libra makes it easier to understand astrology? Happiness in relationships is very important durign this transit. In fact, the unhappy relationships that are not working will be easier for both parties to release simply because relationship happiness is so important right now. Letting go of a non-working relationship and giving up whatever you were clinging to in that relationship is going to be a bargain compared to what you will get once you release the energy.
Mercury in Libra causes us to become more curious about relationships and thinking about the behavioral patterns in relationships. Good communications and happiness in relationships takes on higher importance as we begin studying our relationship communication patterns. This creates a desire for a mental partnership with easy communication because of our interest in what others think.
Since Libra rules fair play and justice, then we can count on seeing more individuals becoming vocal about injustices. Not to mention this transit is very Good for anything legal and those in the legal profession.
Mercury in Libra intensely dislikes crude, coarse or crass behavior and speech. Those who use curse words reflexively will probably be called out by the first person standing by. This type of behavior will be socially unacceptable.
Since this transit is more concerned about right relations with people, then studies that have to do with the study of people become more popular. This might be astrology, arbitration, counseling, sales, marketing, negotiating, the legal profession, public relations, sociology and psychology. Anything that studies or accounts for human behavior and what makes others tick will take on a heightened interest. Being able to communicate in these fields is vital. There is a strong curiosity as to what others think, so much so that there is a need to work with others on a mental level, not necessarily on an intellectual level.
This transit makes an excellent diplomat and peacemaker, who often acts as a go-between in relationships. This would be someone like a mediator, negotiator, counselor or lawyer. This energy is great for putting others at ease. While arguments and strong debates could prove to be upsetting, the outcome will likely be harmonious if Mercury in Libra is involved and has anything to say about it. [Keep reading . . .]

Mercury in Libra is not aggressive, but if there is an injustice going down, then Mercury in Libra will be there to prosecute and make certain that scales even out and justice is served. Mercury in Libra can't let the scales be tipped out of alignment, especially where there is an injustice. Communication is Good and dealings are honest and forthright. Strong principles and mental discipline are also strengthened during this transit. This will also cause one to expect the same out of others, but remember, others have their own chart and Mercury as well, so expectations may prove disappointing. Go ahead and hold yourself to your standards and then hope for the best from others.
There is due consideration to all sides of a formal argument before a decision is made. Just like in a courtroom, so will you be weighing all sides before rendering your decision. At some point during the Mercury in Libra transit will you find yourself feeling like judge and jury. Take your time because channeled inappropriately could lead to indecisive non-action, which results in a missed opportunity. This transit does not usually make bad decisions as it is thoughtful in its approach to problems.
Those who are well-read or who have developed themselves in the areas of higher thought are quite capable of profundity (deep thought). Those who are not as mentally developed may agree with those around them just to be on the side of popularity or to be accepted.
Mercury in Libra seeks an association with refined minds, honest interests, clean reputations, excellent manners and social skills. Those who are crude in behavior and have uncouth manners you will not be able to get away from them fast enough. In fact, you will fall all over yourself just trying to get away.
This transit is sensitive to personal appearances including hygiene and manners, because Mercury is the natural ruler of picky picky picky Virgo and also the ruler of body language expert Gemini. Libra is the sign of beautiful appearances. When someone is being socially inappropriate in style, communication, body language or appearance, this would be considered a social affront (offense).
Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra causing one to be firm, stern and hardworking. Stay Astrologized™.

THE UNIVERSAL WOMB CALLED "MOM"
The last Brain Dump™ was October 3, 2016 called, Being You Takes Practice
This is as Good as a day as any to remind you to step out of your South Node (daily). Remember, your South Node is the drain, or hole in your chart. It is that bottomless pit that no matter how much you try, no matter how much energy you pour into your South Node, you cannot fill it up. It is the hole in your pocket where anything you put into it falls right through. It is impossible to fill up this pit because it is bottomless. Since there is no bottom, stop trying so hard to fill it up. Do you hear me? This South Node is your connection to the past, your past lives, which is why there is such an attraction to it, because you know it so well. While you may be in unfamiliar territory every day of your Life with your North Node, you are in familiar territory every day of your Life with your South Node. You know the 3rd grade, you know your first job and you know how to tie your shoe, but it doesn't mean you should go back and keep relearning the 3rd grade, your first job and how to tie your shoe. That doesn't make much sense, does it? Honestly, the South Node is just like that. It's almost too easy to remember the rule, DON'T GO BACK THERE, but yet there we go and down we go. You have been there, done that, AND got the T-shirt. It's over! But what you can do is take everything that you have learned from your past and take it with you as you fulfill your destiny (destination).
We come into this world through the Universal Womb we'll call, "MOM." As we enter this world we are dragging behind us one piece of luggage. And in that one piece of luggage is everything we learned from our past lives. It's our tool box, experience and knowledge from previous lifetimes. We are not supposed to relive those lives that we have packed in the luggage, but by golly we can sure as heck use the tools, knowledge and experience of them to get to our destiny (destination), which is our North Node in this lifetime.
As we enter this world either sliding out or being pulled out, it is a rather dramatic and sometimes traumatic experience. We were warm and cozy and then all of the sudden BAM! now we are cold, it's loud and all of these strange fleshy things are touching us (fingers and hands). We want our mom. She's around here somewhere. We know her voice. I'm thinking when we are ready to be birthed, maybe it's like we are getting ready to take one of those icy polar plunges. In the spirit world we know what we are in for because we have seen the birthing process over and over again from the other side. Maybe there is a crowd of spirits on the other side yelling, "DO IT! ... JUST GOOOOOOO! ... YOU HAVE TO KICK YOUR WAY OUT! ... YOU HAVE TO BREAK THE SACK! ... STICK YOUR FINGER THROUGH THE SACK! ... SCRATCH IT AND IT WILL TEAR! ... JUST POKE IT! ... KICK TOWARD THE BOTTOM AND THEY WILL HELP YOU OUT!" ... See where my mind goes folks? Then once we are birthed and we make it out of the gooey slime, it's cold, strange and scary. Maybe as babies crossing over from the spirit world and into this world we were thinking, "Well it sounded like a Good idea at the time." Maybe we just arrived from a previous trip here on earth and decided to get right back on the roller coaster instead of sitting it out for a while.
It is interesting how we all get here through the same time traveling capsule, the mother's womb. It doesn't matter if you were biological, adopted, a surrogate birth or came through some other form of in vitro fertilization, we all arrived here the same way, through the Universal Womb called, "Mom." Being here as babies, it's no wonder that the little children see things, hear things and know things that we adults are no longer open to. When you think about it, at birth or at the end of Life, we couldn't be more closer to God than being right there in that moment. Over the years we have been told that what we know, see or hear isn't real. The more time that passes, we begin to get layered up with human experiences forgetting that we were hear to fulfill the North Node mission, but yet we have that piece of luggage with all of those previous lifetimes. So we constantly open up the suitcase and rummage through it. We get in relationships with familiar energy that is our South Node, we take jobs that are our South Node and we do things that reflect our South Node. [Keep reading . . . ]

I was talking to a man the other day who was having the most difficult time with his former wife. I asked why he insisted on talking to her when the Moon is in his South Node. He said, "The Moon was in my South Node?" I said, "Yes, have I not taught you anything!!!" Then he laughed and wondered why he couldn't just remember to consider that the Moon (emotions) might be in his South Node. I told him because he was all slathered up in layers of human-ickness and he forgot who he was. Folks, when the Moon is the sign of your South Node then write it on the mirror in your bathroom. If your South Node is in Libra, then by golly you need to know when the Moon is in Libra because your emotions will go straight down the toilet, eh hem, I mean staight down the South Node. When the Moon is in your South Node it will be your most draining two days out of the month. And when the Sun is in the same sign as your South Node, that will be the most draining month of your year. I always say that when the Sun is in Pisces, that's when I'm going to go on vacation because my South Node is Pisces. And when the South Node is in your Sun Sign, then that will be the most challenging 1-1/2 years that you will have had in about 18 or 19 years.
At this writing, the North Node is in Virgo and the South Node is in Pisces. The North Node is where your cup runneth over and the South Node is the bottomless pit. So Virgo's cup is running over, while Pisces people are getting slapped, beatin' and kicked while they are down. This energy began back on November 12, 2015 and will last until May 9, 2017. The Nodes stay in a Sun Sign for about 1-1/2 years and then change. See the North and South Node Calendar right here to see what sign your North and South Node are in. Then check your mate, family, friends and it will tell you a lot as to why you can't stand each other or maybe why you can. Folks I can go on and on and on about the Nodes, but if you are interested in even more information, I do have an e-Book on the Nodes in my Holistic Shop called, "Understanding and Using your North and South Node." It is also a Good idea to continue monitoring what degree the Nodes are currently in so you can see how they will impact you as they make their way across the sky. Today the North and South Node are at 12 degrees, so you will want to look at your own personal natal chart to see where 12 degrees is for you. If you have an Expansive Natal Chart that I wrote for you, then use the 2nd chart wheel in your Chart Configurations and Graphics file to find where 12 degrees is. That 2nd chart looks like it has a ruler around it and those are the degrees. There are 360 notches around that wheel with each representing a degree. In this way you can track the planets as they transit your chart. You can also use the North and South Node Transiting Degrees Calendar to see where the degrees of the Nodes are today. And as usual, if you have a product (chart or report) that you bought from me, you are always welcome to call me.
The Nodes are incredibly fun to watch yourself live with and live through, and they can be fun to watch your family and children as well. Once you know the Nodes and have your handle on them, Life is so much easier and as usual, it's even easier when you just follow the rules. Stay Astrologized™.

BEING YOU TAKES PRACTICE
The last Brain Dump™ was October 1, 2016 called, God Is The Law, Astrology Is The Rules
Here is a thought for you, if you knew everything there was about being your Sun Sign, then why are you that Sun Sign? I'm a Gemini, if I know so much about being a Gemini, then why am I a Gemini? You would think if I knew all there was about being Gemini, then I wouldn't be a Gemini this time around, but alas here I am, a Gemini. If you have an Expansive Natal Chart that I wrote for you then you know that we cycle through all 12 Sun Signs spending 12 lifetimes in one Sun Sign. So 12 lifetimes in one Sun Sign x 12 of them = 144 lifetimes. Don't think for a second that you have your Aries thing down cold or your Sagittarius thing down cold or your Pisces thing down cold. No no no my dear little mentator, you are here as your Sun Sign because you are still learning about being that Sun Sign. You have to spend 12 lifetimes in one sign before you can move on. Heck, by the time I finish cycling through Gemini 12 times, I'm going to be one helluva a great communicator and a fantastic driver. LOL! Gemini is great at talking themselves out of tickets simply because Gemini rules both communication and transportation.
Going through a certain Sun Sign 12 times reminds me of the many places we live throughout our Life or the many jobs we have throughout our life or the many relationships we will experience throughout our life. I believe we keep recycling over and over and over again because it gives us practice until we get it just right (ripe) and then we turn to Light and leave the planet and cycle through another round. Each lifetime that we pass through, we just get better and better and better. Folks, I can go down the rabbit hole so deep on this subject it would make your head spin. I've been studying past lives since the age of 12 when I first began reading Edgar Cayce. I would park it on the floor in the isles of the local libary as I waited for my mom to finish driving the school bus and then she would pick me up. I love talking past lives with my clients during astrology phone readings. [Keep reading . . . ]

Being you takes practice, as our pattern of recycling shows us, which is why it is so important to get to know your own personal chart. There are all kinds of golden nuggets in your chart just waiting for you to discover about yourself 'this time around'. Whether or not you like it, realize it or see it, you don't have your Sun Sign down cold because you are still here! I see you! That's the reality of it, you are still here. As long as you have not turned to Light and graduated from the planet, you are still learning and working on being that Sun Sign of yours. That's the really cool thing about getting to know yourself is there are so many things to discover and learn about you. So why not just go nuts on yourself and say, "Let's do this crazy thing!" If you stand in the same place year after year and refuse to embrace something new or wonderful about yourself, then you don't get the full benefit of being you and neither does anyone else. Everyone will get cheated and robbed out of you, not being you, including you. Dang, what a mess!
I remember a half-billion years ago when my astrologer Thomas (may God rest his soul) told me what a great cook I was. I remember saying to him, "I don't know whose chart you're reading but it's not mine. I don't cook at all. I don't even boil eggs. The only thing I can make is my bed!" Without smiling, without batting an eyelash, his stern and deliberate Leo voice roared back to me, "That's because you haven't tried!" I conceded and said, "You know what, you're right. That is absolutely true. I have never really tried to cook a decent meal." I told him that I was a woman of science and I would be willing to put my chart to the test. So I did, I tested it. And folks, I guarantee that I can boil a paper bag, throw in some spices and you would find it delicious. He was right, my chart is right, it is True, I am a fabulous cook. But then of course I would be a great cook because I am a North Node Virgo and Virgo rules the 'chef' who meticulously measures and cooks perfectly. Of course being a 'chef' is where my cup would run over. Here is something else that is interesting, God created us and He created the blueprint for us, our astrological chart. We do not 'have to' embrace the chart, just like we don't have to embrace God. We get to choose. We get to choose to receive these gifts and put them to use or we can turn them down. It's called 'free will' folks!
You don't have to embrace any of this stuff about yourself. Heck no, if it doesn't feel Good to hear it or read it then you can move on to another website that makes you feel so great that you don't have to change. (winky wink) Alas, but that is not why you are here because I know that if you found me, you want more out of your Life and you want more out of Astrology. We were brought together on purpose because God is on purpose. You won't get more unless you recognize and embrace even the things that don't feel Good or that are just downright unattactive about yourself. Every sign needs to get a grip and recognize their weakness, faults and flaws. We are all just walking along, stumbling, tripping and slobbering all over ourselves just trying to figure it all out and get it right. I am a Gemini and I have no problem telling a Gemini that they better find another Love to channel their 'other self' into and I mean a project, career or work because Gemini's are very well known for having two loves. The spare Love they keep in their back pocket just in case the other one doesn't work out. Having another channel for Love will keep the easily bored Gemini occupied. I am a Gemini and I know exactly what that's like and it negates being committed to anything or anyone because of the intense need for freedom. I had to learn too! Now I have my Scorpion King and my website (which I LOVE) and the energy is properly channeled. My two Loves get all of me. Granted some people may not be ready to hear what isn't so attractive about them and they may take offense to the information but then maybe the individual isn't ready. We are ready, when we are ready. So my little mentators, read your personal natal charts over and over again. Highlight in yellow what you want to play UP and shine a Light on. Highlight in pink that which you wish to play down and soften. Being you takes practice. Stay Astrologized™.

GOD IS THE LAW
ASTROLOGY IS 'THE RULES'
The last Brain Dump™ was September 29, 2016 called, 131,760 Astrological Types
"Astrology is not Law; God is the Law! Astrology is 'the rules' and the rules are often broken." Let's think about the statement that I have posted at the top of each main horoscope page. This is very important when understanding how to 'use' and 'enjoy' astrology. If you have an Expansive Natal Chart that I wrote for you, which means the chart is written out in text form accompanied with chart configurations and graphics to guide you, then re-read your chart keeping this statement about 'the rules' in mind. Your personal chart is blatantly and boldly telling you when you are likely to use, mis-use, a-buse or dis-use a certain planet in a sign, configuration, transit, aspect or house. When you think of 'the rules' you will see these rules embedded in your chart.
It doesn't matter what section of your chart that you are reading, the first one or two paragraphs are always 'the rules'. When you read about the aspects that I post through the Astro-Memes, the first two paragraphs of the write-up always introduce 'the rules' of that aspect. I always give a brief description of whatever the subject matter is first. It doesn't matter if you are reading about quadrants, hemispheres, your Moon, elements or the strength strengths or weaknesses in your chart, there is an introductory paragraph that sets 'the rules'. [Keep reading . . . ]

All Sun Signs have 'rulerships' and 'ruling' planets as you can see from your Expansive Natal Chart or just by looking to the left navigation column you will see Rulership links under Horoscope links. Rules and rulerships go hand in hand. If you know Saturn likes structure, discipline and responsibility, then I sure as heck wouldn't do anything to piss him off. Saturn can and will take off his belt and spank you. There is a reason why Saturn has a belt of rings around it, so he can discipline his children. Saturn represents 'the father' or 'authority figure' because that is 'the rule' and we are God's children so he gets to discipline us.
Folks, this is no different than you following the rules of road, the rules of Algebra or the rules of spelling. When you run into a spelling sequence ei or ie, then the rule "I before E, except after C" such as 'believe' and 'receive' will come into play. That is the rule! In most states you cannot make a right turn on a red light. If you do and get caught, you will get a ticket. If your Expansive Natal Chart says that money slips through your fingers and then you continually spend money as if you are just livin' the dream, then you are not using the 2nd house of money correctly. That 2nd house is about creating your self-worth, not debilitating it. Your 10th house is about your career and public life. It's not about having an affair with the boss. When I wrote your chart, I'm actually telling you the likelihood of you behaving one way or the other, which is you obeying or breaking a rule. It's up to you to pull yourself back in line and get straight and fly right. No right turn on a red! "I" before "e" except after "c". Stay Astrologized™.
