Solfeggio Harmonics
I think this is probably a Neptune in Aquarius thing: music for healing rediscovered for a new age; I hadn't heard of Solfeggio Harmonics till just recently, but according to this website:
I don't understand all that to be honest, but it's an interesting read; anything that stresses the importance of energy and vibration and wavelengths is ok with me (and it's oh so Aquarius, I feel, that squiggly symbol of Aquarius and the idea of wavelengths). There's lots of examples on YouTube of this music, which is uber relaxing and has the most fabulous images to go with it, and I can recommend the Source Vibrations album as pretty much the best music I've heard to use in healing sessions. There's definately something about this stuff that goes beyond it being just sweet and soothing. Here's an example of the relationships one, the 639Hz, have some of this to heal your frazzled nerves:
the original sound frequencies were used in Ancient Gregorian Chants, such as the great hymn to St. John the Baptist, along with others that church authorities say were lost centuries ago. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart tremendous spiritual blessings when sung in harmony during religious masses. These powerful frequencies were rediscovered by Dr. Joseph Puleo as described in the book Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse by Dr. Leonard Horowitz.
The Six Solfeggio Frequencies include:
UT – 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
RE – 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
MI – 528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
FA – 639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships
SOL – 741 Hz – Awakening Intuition
LA – 852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order
For example, the third note, frequency 528, relates to the note MI on the scale and derives from the phrase "MI-ra gestorum" in Latin meaning "miracle." Stunningly, this is the exact frequency used by genetic biochemists to repair broken DNA – the genetic blueprint upon which life is based.
I don't understand all that to be honest, but it's an interesting read; anything that stresses the importance of energy and vibration and wavelengths is ok with me (and it's oh so Aquarius, I feel, that squiggly symbol of Aquarius and the idea of wavelengths).

Solar Eclipse In Capricorn Jan 15th 2010
Eclipses are BIG signposts in astrology; big neon flashing signposts that shout ‘this is the way forward!’ Eclipses tend to happen two at a time, within a couple of weeks of each other (during New Years Eve we had a lunar eclipse in Capricorn, and now we’ve got the solar eclipse two weeks later to make the matching pair), and eclipses also happen twice a year, within about six months of each other. On top of that, they cycle through different signs of the zodiac over a period of about 19 years.
Each sign that the eclipses fall in can indicate the way forward through current life challenges because each sign has a particular way of approaching life; each sign has its own way of going about things and responding to problems and challenges, so whatever sign you are, and whatever it is you are personally going through (and eclipses do tend to stir up quite a bit of stuff that can stay relevant for months to come sometimes), these January eclipses are indicating a call for a Capricorn-esque response.
So what’s the underlying essence of the rumblings and stirrings that current situations have been bringing to your attention over the past few weeks? Eclipses are about moon cycles, and the moon rules emotions and feelings; so it’s about the emotions (usually negative at first) that situations are putting you in touch with - Powerlessness? Frustration? Overwhelment? For example, As I write this, the UK (whose sun-sign is Capricorn), is under an unusually heavy blanket of snow and ice. Collectively we’re all feeling the frosty pinch of popular Capricorn emotional metaphors: we’re all feeling a bit snowed under; a bit under the weather, a bit overwhelmed, a bit powerless against outside forces. We’re feeling a bit put in our place by the authority of the elements. It’s all very Capricorn, and it’s all very magnified, in that way that eclipses have about them.
But like I said earlier, just as eclipses stir up the kind of stuff very much associated with the sign they fall in, they also how they point to the way through it all: this is the flashing neon signpost that answers the question ‘how do I get through this eclipse stuff’ with ‘do it the Capricorn way’. Which means in its most positive sense Capricorn is a sign aware of current limits while not feeling defeated about future ambitions. It’s a sign that can look long-term, plays the long game by taking things step by step, and knows that day by day those steps mount up to something solid in structure.
Capricorn is very much aware of time, and like Old Father Time (a key symbol of the Capricorn season), is aware of its own mortality and therefore the temporary nature of all situations. Surrendering to the authority of time and trusting that all things happen in good time, turns out to be a potent stress reliever too; so basically, rather than being buffeted by overwhelming thoughts of the impassable, impossible limits of today, the Capricorn eclipse emotional rescue remedy is to quietly keep in mind that just like the heaviest of winter snow, in the grand scheme of things, ‘this too shall pass’.

January Horoscopes
Happy 2010 :)
Aries
21st March – 20th April
It’s quite a trip for Aries at the mo, what with your ruler Mars on a return to the past in matters of the heart, and a gathering of planets piling on pressure in the aims and ambitions section of your chart, as well as a rather significant solar eclipse there on the 15th. It means that plans, especially career plans, are right at the forefront of your agenda and current events are reflecting that too. Because the nature of a solar eclipse is to frame a new emotional landscape for the coming months, whatever is happening this month is going to drive events and shape your attitude to them, for some time to come.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
There’s a solar eclipse on the 15th, in the beliefs and perspectives angle of your chart, which means events are making you consider and evaluate your views on life, love and the universe more strongly. As there’s been other planets active at this angle too for a while, it’s likely that this has held importance one way or the other for some time now, and possibly a process of reviewing outdated beliefs (about yourself especially) has already got underway, but as the new year gets going there’s no better time to start believing in yourself in a whole new way.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
Your ruler Mercury is moving forward again, symbolising a positive turning point or turnaround for you in current situations and this is happening during an important solar eclipse around the 15th. Eclipses are like scene setters; they focus and amplify energy to point to themes that will weave through events for months to come. This one falls in the area of your chart linked to trust, and it’s really only about trusting yourself even when it seems others are part of the equation. In other words, trust that it can’t hurt to let go of what you can’t control.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
There’s a solar eclipse on the 15th; eclipses are always important in astro symbolism but especially so for Cancer, as your ruling planet is the moon and you have a special affinity with the wax and wane of those lunar cycles. This eclipse has extra significance too as it’s happening in your house of relationships, indicating turning points, turnarounds, beginnings, endings, and all sorts of meaningful events unfolding regarding relationships, partnerships, contracts and commitments, and what is meaningful during January seems to stay that way for months to come.
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
2010 kicks off with a significant solar eclipse in the problem-solving angle of your chart on the 15th. Problems might seem to be amplified around that point, but it also means that solutions are there too. Eclipses are energy amplifiers, which is why things seem bigger and louder, but the process for solution-seeking is the same for both mountains and molehills, which is to keep focused on where you want to go rather than the issue itself; and to help catch your attention there’s some fabulous full moon energy on the 30th, when desire planet Mars meets love goddess Venus right in your relationship chart.
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
Eclipses set up dominant themes for the coming months and there’s a solar eclipse on the 15th that takes place in the matters of the heart angle of your chart. Which means there’s important events on the way circling around romance, creativity, fun, or whatever else it is that makes your heart soar. Eclipses can indicate big turning points in direction, and as your ruling planet Mercury is going through a change of direction at the same time, looking forward instead of looking back, it can mean 2010 gets off to a significant start.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
Saturn, planet of authority and rules, has been in your sign for a few months now, which means you’ve had time to get used to being the boss, or better said, a law unto yourself. Saturn turns retrograde (appears to move backwards) midmonth, which always means a turnaround in your approach to situations, as well as gaining different perspectives. There’s also the idea of reconstructing or reviewing your past, especially around solar eclipse time on the 15th, when the sun and moon meet in the angle ruling memories and feelings. Being comfy with yourself has never felt so important.
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
A solar eclipse on the 15th is happening in the communication angle of your chart. Eclipses are sort of culmination points of energy, where events unfold that can have long lasting effects, sometimes ending up as being profound developments in direction when viewed with hindsight. Your ruler Pluto meets communication planet Mercury here too, indicating a turnaround in situations where information or getting the message across is your priority; meanwhile co-ruler Mars is moving your focus back to basics in the long-term plans section of your chart, and what better time of the year to do so?
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
Your ruling planet, Jupiter, is switching signs this month. For the past year there’s been an emphasis on your communication and getting the message across in situations, then from the 18th the focus moves to comfort zones, so till 2011 it’s about stretching and expanding them. Emotional attachments, home and hearth, it’s all going to figure highly in the unfolding of events. There’s also a big solar eclipse on the 15th, in the finance and property angle of your chart. Things happen around solar eclipses that have long lasting emotional effects (though sometimes the benefits are only seen with hindsight).
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
Big start to the year for Cap, with an important solar eclipse in your sign on the 15th, as well as your ruler Saturn going retrograde (appearing to move backward) around the same time, until May. Saturn does this every year, and it symbolises a sort of restructuring process going on wherever Saturn is in your chart, at the moment this is your house of longterm plans and ambitions. Meanwhile the solar eclipse sets the tone of future events: whatever is going around that time (say a week either way of the 15th) can reverberate through situations somehow for months, even years to come.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
The solar eclipse on the 15th is important because whatever happens around an eclipse seems to stay significant for ages. For you the eclipse is working its energy in a kind of unconscious way, so keep a dream diary handy at night, and go with the flow of daydreaming and see where you keep ending up. The sun moves into your sign from the 20th, which again is a perspective enhancer, as is the full moon on the 30th, falling in the relationship zone of your chart; Venus is meeting Mars there, so opposites are attracting all over the place.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
Jupiter, planet of abundance and upliftment, starts a yearlong journey through your sign from the 18th. Pisces has a strong affinity with Jupiter so the vibes are good and easy from the start; doors that were closed in situations start to open, including those doors of perception, so expect changes in the way you’ve been seeing things to start happening, for the better. Just before that, on the 15th, there’s a solar eclipse in the hopes and dreams angle of your chart. This is the best time ever to sort some New Year resolutions and start living them.
Aries
21st March – 20th April

December Horoscopes
Aries
21st March – 20th April
Back in mid-October your ruler Mars started the first phase of a 7 month retrograde cycle, which means events from around that time initiated a process within you of reviewing or reconsidering your current direction. The second phase of all this gets underway from the 19th; up to and around that point situations seem to slow down, but don’t worry about things grinding to a halt, even though it looks to be heading that way. Things pick up in a different way after that; through different options, different intentions, and different approaches. It’s all part of the process.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
Don’t let sleepless nights have you fooled as December gets underway, things start to turn around, especially midmonth when your ruler Venus has a power meeting with passionate Mars. Venus bumps into Pluto during the final week and the impact can feel like a much needed makeover. Then there’s a blue moon eclipse on the 31st, in the beliefs section of your chart. It means your views on life, love and the universe are also about to take on a whole new look, and yes, that blue moon does mean in a way you don’t see very often.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
And here we go again; it’s Mercury retrograde for the fourth time this year. Usually it’s three times, and as there’s also a blue moon in your sign on New Years Eve which is an eclipse, it’s safe to symbolise the Gemini theme for December events as ‘not your everyday happenings’. To sum up: Mercury retro is a change of mind on existing situations, from a change in view or perspective, usually with an eye on the past, or on any spanners in the works, while the blue moon eclipse shapes the emotional landscape; sometimes for months to come.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
What happens as December gets underway is giving you confidence to speak up and speak out, not just for yourself but for others too. Midmonth you are really in your stride about this, taking the lead and showing yourself who’s boss. Then when Mercury retrogrades (moves backwards) from the 26th, you suddenly get shy of the spotlight. But it’s not about pushing yourself back there; it’s more about understanding why you’d want to start second guessing yourself. The full moon on the 31st is a blue moon and eclipse; perfect for attracting some support on bringing self-doubt to a close.
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
Mars starts a retrograde phase (appearing to move backwards) while in your sign this month. Mars symbolises action, so there’s a change of approach or a change of pace in store, and usually this initially means a slow down or turnaround in certain situations. It’s all been bubbling for a while though really (since mid-October), so events from that time might relate to a turning point that’s being felt on or around the 19th. You’ve been aiming for more clarity since Oct, to get clear about your own intentions, and Mars is calling you to reach powerfully for this during December.
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
Your ruler Mercury is retrograde again this month, which means your heading for a significant change of mind or perspective about current situations. It’s a process lasting into January, but for now, as Mercury slows down for its first turning point on the 26th, some situations slow down too. It might seem that obstacles and delays are thwarting your efforts, but they are just making you search for new solutions, and this different approach is what it’s all about really.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
There’s an emphasis on communication first half of the month, culminating with a new moon in this area of your chart on the 16th, indicating a new feeling or intention around the idea of getting your message across and about what you receive from others. Meanwhile there are planets collecting in your comfort zone, symbolising a focus of your energy on home and all emotional ties. There’s an intensity to these situations which is making you dig deep within yourself, and there you find the treasure and therefore the gift of the situation (especially around the 31st).
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
Mars, one of your ruling planets, is starting a retrograde phase (appearing to move backwards) from the 19th. It’s happening in the long-term aims and ambitions section of your chart; and it covers career, status, and all your big expectations. It doesn’t mean everything’s really going backward (though things tend to slow down or take different directions around that retro date), it means you’re heading for a different view that will eventually take you forward in a whole new way. It really got going out of events mid-October, and it lasts till next May, with a big turning point or turnaround during March.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
The sun’s in your sign which means it’s your time of year, when the world is more on your wavelength and you feel people ‘get’ you instead of suspecting they’re just out to get you. The new moon in your sign on the 16th indicates a new emotional phase born of restlessness; you’ve got itchy feet for a more authentic experience of yourself, and the journey is now underway. Your ruler Jupiter meets dreamy Neptune all month, but especially strong around the 21st, which means unless you believe in it, you aren’t going to see it; it’s never the other way round.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
Communication is all about trust during the first week of the month; though it’s not necessarily about trusting what others are saying, it’s trusting your own instincts to hear what they are saying, as well as the message you are wanting to get across to them. This theme of trust is echoed from the 21st, and especially the 31st, during an eclipse in the relationship angle of your chart, but it’s now about trusting yourself into the unknown, to feel your way through situations that would have previously had you so guarded there would have been no room for manoeuvre.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Back in June you might have experienced a ‘nearly but not quite’ moment, thanks to the nearly but not quite alignment between Jupiter (abundance) and Neptune (your wildest dreams). These two planets are now on track to meet this month, just around Solstice time on the 21st, when the sun moves into the most mystical angle of your chart. Thing with Neptune is, you have to believe your wishes are real things, otherwise Jupiter can’t deliver and you’re left disillusioned about what might have been. This is not the month to ponder in a sensible fashion about reality and its obvious limits.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
The second week of December brings some welcome relief from the pressures of the first week; harmony begins to prevail because burdens don’t feel so heavy when there’s someone who doesn’t mind sharing the load a bit. There’s an important meeting between your two ruling planets this month too; it’s exact around Solstice time on the 21st, but this has been building for a while now, and if there was ever a time for believing in your wildest dreams then this is it. Suspend disbelief for the Solstice and beyond, and let the fairies of the universe work some mid-winter magic.
21st March – 20th April
Back in mid-October your ruler Mars started the first phase of a 7 month retrograde cycle, which means events from around that time initiated a process within you of reviewing or reconsidering your current direction. The second phase of all this gets underway from the 19th; up to and around that point situations seem to slow down, but don’t worry about things grinding to a halt, even though it looks to be heading that way.

There’s an intensity to these situations which is making you dig deep within yourself, and there you find the treasure and therefore the gift of the situation (especially around the 31st).
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
Mars, one of your ruling planets, is starting a retrograde phase (appearing to move backwards) from the 19th. It’s happening in the long-term aims and ambitions section of your chart; and it covers career, status, and all your big expectations. It doesn’t mean everything’s really going backward (though things tend to slow down or take different directions around that retro date), it means you’re heading for a different view that will eventually take you forward in a whole new way. It really got going out of events mid-October, and it lasts till next May, with a big turning point or turnaround during March.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
The sun’s in your sign which means it’s your time of year, when the world is more on your wavelength and you feel people ‘get’ you instead of suspecting they’re just out to get you. The new moon in your sign on the 16th indicates a new emotional phase born of restlessness; you’ve got itchy feet for a more authentic experience of yourself, and the journey is now underway. Your ruler Jupiter meets dreamy Neptune all month, but especially strong around the 21st, which means unless you believe in it, you aren’t going to see it; it’s never the other way round.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
Communication is all about trust during the first week of the month; though it’s not necessarily about trusting what others are saying, it’s trusting your own instincts to hear what they are saying, as well as the message you are wanting to get across to them. This theme of trust is echoed from the 21st, and especially the 31st, during an eclipse in the relationship angle of your chart, but it’s now about trusting yourself into the unknown, to feel your way through situations that would have previously had you so guarded there would have been no room for manoeuvre.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Back in June you might have experienced a ‘nearly but not quite’ moment, thanks to the nearly but not quite alignment between Jupiter (abundance) and Neptune (your wildest dreams). These two planets are now on track to meet this month, just around Solstice time on the 21st, when the sun moves into the most mystical angle of your chart. Thing with Neptune is, you have to believe your wishes are real things, otherwise Jupiter can’t deliver and you’re left disillusioned about what might have been. This is not the month to ponder in a sensible fashion about reality and its obvious limits.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
The second week of December brings some welcome relief from the pressures of the first week; harmony begins to prevail because burdens don’t feel so heavy when there’s someone who doesn’t mind sharing the load a bit. There’s an important meeting between your two ruling planets this month too; it’s exact around Solstice time on the 21st, but this has been building for a while now, and if there was ever a time for believing in your wildest dreams then this is it. Suspend disbelief for the Solstice and beyond, and let the fairies of the universe work some mid-winter magic.

November Horoscopes
Here's the horoscopes for November:
Aries
21st March – 20th April
Saturn has now moved into the relationship angle of your chart, for a two year stay. Saturn is the planet of expectations, of those we place on ourselves and others, so this is what relationship issues are going to revolve around for the foreseeable. This is the time when you find out if those expectations serve you: if set your sights too low for your self-belief to cope with, you’ll recognise the flat feeling of un-fulfilment; set them too high and you’ll keep being disappointed. The key to this is adjusting self-belief, which Saturn always supports, to match what you want. Not easy at times, but that’s Saturn for you.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
November opens with a rather stubborn and inflexible full moon in your sign on the 2nd. It’s all to do with relationships, and included is your relationship ruler Mars, pointing you to issues relating to comfort zones and staying within them. Any resulting tensions ease by midmonth though, when your ruler Venus links up with Mars, again on a theme of relationships, this time full of very strong intentions for harmony. Meanwhile Saturn starts a two-year journey through the solution-seeking angle of your chart; and as Saturn likes to takes it’s time doing anything, there’s no quick fixes.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
There’s a significant journey starting for Gemini, now that Saturn has started its two year trip through the angle of your chart that deals with matters of the heart. It’s the most creative and expressive part of your chart, and thrives on giving and receiving appreciation. Saturn takes life a bit too seriously at times, and is too often self-deprecating, so the challenge is to find your positive inner Saturn and get expressing rather than denying all you have to give and receive.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
There’s a big transforming influence this month, symbolised by Pluto linking to Saturn, planet of structure and boundaries, which has just started a long-term stay in the emotional ties and comfort zones angle of your chart. Pluto, from your relationship angle, is the transforming influence on this, meaning situations arising from partnerships are facilitating deep change within you. Your view of the past is also affected, so memories are being brought up for review and the new moon around the 16th has this theme, bringing feelings of relief whenever necessary change is allowed to take place.
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
Mars is still in your sign, making you all feisty and fiery and a force to be reckoned with, and midmonth there’s a new moon (new emotional phase) in your house of domestic bliss and comfort zones, that incubates plans for your future. The message is to trust that what you don’t know won’t harm those plans really; no matter how foggy or cloudy others get with you around that time, as the universe always has its mysterious ways of getting the info you need to your door, without the need to have to rely on the unreliable.
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
Saturn has now left the building, as far as Virgo is concerned, after two years in your sign. Think back to autumn 2007 and what’s been going on since then and you’ll have an idea how Saturn has been making you aware of self-limiting beliefs and calling you patiently towards entertaining higher expectations of yourself. And now Saturn moves into the finance and assets section of your chart, and is about to spend a lot of time prodding you in that area of your life too, beginning with a link to creativity and matters of the heart (especially around the 16th).
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
Saturn is now in your sign for the next couple of years (and it only happens every 28 years). Saturn gets bad press as the planet that brings limitation and restriction, but of course it’s not as simple as that, as there’s two sides to every planet energy: on the positive side, Saturn encourages the kind of strong self-acceptance that normally only comes with age and maturity, helping to structure and support dreams and aspirations into reality. The negative side is about giving yourself and others a hard time through self-doubt, stress or pressure, so learning to go easy on yourself is lesson one.
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
Your ruler Pluto, planet of trusting the unknown, is linking to Saturn, planet of future expectations, all month. It’s an interesting mix of energies, especially as Saturn has just entered the ‘go with the flow’ angle of your chart, where surrender takes you where you want to go faster than fighting against the current. There’s a fabulous new moon (new phase) in your sign on the 16th and events around this time somehow show you how well things can go when you trust the process. As this is a long-term influence, things unfold gradually, but this is part of it too; trusting the timing.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
The sun moves into your sign on the 22nd, and when the sun is in your sign its sort of like your personal New Year, so the weeks before that tend to be more reflective and introspective, as you gather your energies ready for that sun coming up. Not that it’s a particularly quiet time this month; there’s plenty happening, symbolised by your ruler Jupiter in amongst all the planetary action, energising your house of communication. Midmonth and final week are busiest for this, and there’s also Saturn starting a two-year trip through your house of hopes and dreams. More on that next month.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
Your ruler Saturn has just started a two year journey through the angle of your chart connected to long-term plans and aspirations. And this month it links up strongly to Pluto, planet of deep transformation. Put that together and it spells big change in store. Change lets loose butterflies of anticipation, as the element of the unknown causes friction with past expectations, but this seems to be something you are so strongly reaching for that the certainty breeds security. It’s still done the Capricorn way; slow and sure, step by step; but there’s no stepping back from this one.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Saturn has just changed signs, which means for the next two years the planet also known as Lord of Time is influencing the angle of your chart that deals with your perspective and beliefs on life, love and the universe. With a time lord in this spot, the universe really is your oyster; the only thing it comes down to is what you believe to be within the realms of possibility, as not even a time lord can defy your own expectations. Interesting dates this month: around 16th for a deep sweet new moon, and around 26th, when everything’s happening at once.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
There’s a sparkling new moon for you on the 16th, which symbolises the seeds of a whole new emotional phase getting underway. It’s a sparkly one because of the light it can shed on situations; it’s illuminating, lightbulb moments all the way, in a twinkly fairy light sort of way. Meanwhile Saturn, planet of permission and denial, begins a two year journey through the trust angle of your chart. It means situations start popping up requiring your willingness to let go of trying to control the uncontrollable, and trusting that what you can’t see isn’t out to get you.
Aries
21st March – 20th April
