New Name! From Silverwheel Astrology to Bond With The Moon!

I have been writing this blog as Silverwheel Astrology since (gulp) 2005... that long, really?! And I really wanted the name change to match my (nearly finished) website, Bond With The Moon

It's the right time of year for a make-over (Scorpio season!! renewal and rebirth!), so in the near future I'm going to be changing addresses. Hopefully this blog won't disappear in the process lol. Fingers crossed!! :D 

Scorpio Season is upon us - 23rd October 2015

The Sun was 11 minutes into the sign of Scorpio when I read these words by Hiro Bogo. Never seen anything that more beautifully speaks the essence of Scorpio, along with its associated rulers Mars and Pluto, and the Scorpio realm of the 8th house. Had to share :)

New Moon In Libra, October 13th 2015 - A Sudden Break For Harmony

A new moon is about new beginnings, intentions and ideas. 

Relationship-focused Libra is the sign of the scales… of balance, justice, fairness…‘rightness’. The seeking of balance and harmony is so very strong with Libra energy that often people resist rocking the boat in situations; sticking with a semblance of calm or equilibrium on the surface to keep up appearances.

If that has been the case up to now, then this new moon is likely to put a spanner in the works. Exactly opposing the new moon is Uranus, the planet of unexpected, sudden shake-ups and wake-up calls.

Uranus is about revolution, independence and detachment. This planet doesn’t suffer fools gladly, and certainly won’t just for the sake of harmony. The Uranus vision is one of authentic harmony, where politeness and political correctness doesn’t get in the way of common sense, and where differences and variety are celebrated not suppressed.

So while the boat might get rocked with this new moon energy, it’s not for nothing. It’s for something; it’s for a truer sense of alignment, a real sense of change that leads to an easier harmony in the long run.

Pro-active Mars is next to faith-filled Jupiter right now, which can mean strong and confident action. In Virgo, it’s courage of conviction when dealing with the details or definition of a situation.Mars and Jupiter are in trine (easy) aspect to Pluto, the planet of letting go… whether it’s the past or of what’s no longer needed, Pluto transforms the situations it touches.

Put together this can be a deceptively deep and emotional new moon of revolution and change.. for the purpose of truer peace and harmony for the long term.

October 2015 Horoscopes

Aries

21st March – 20th April

The sun moves through your relationship chart till the 23^rd (then it’s about trusting the process), and your ruler Mars is in problem-solving mode all month. It means that there’s a lot of focus on your connections with others and understanding how important authentic harmony is (as opposed to just not rocking the boat). Communication moves forward from the 9^th, and differences or conflict with others are revolutionary around new moon time on the 13^th, and productive and evolutionary around 16^th/17^th and from 23^rd. Full moon on the 27^th focuses on finance and self-worth, and all the value you’ve gained from October events. 

Taurus

21st April – 21st May

You’re finding your balance in so many ways this month, which means it’s ok to wobble a bit while you’re getting there; it’s ok for things to be unsettled before they settle, and it’s ok to change your mind after making your mind up. The new moon on the 13^th speaks strongly of all this and more, especially about more expansion that is going on with you creatively and more focus on fun and romance (particularly around 17^th and 25^th). Then events around the annual full moon in your sign on the 27^th seem designed to reflect a new sense of stability and security.

Gemini

22nd May – 21st June

Your ruler Mercury ends retrograde (appearing to move backwards) from the 9^th. This suggests a turning point, change of direction or change of mind, possibly as a result of the wisdom gained from recent experience with creative projects or in matters of the heart. A new moon focused on justice and fairness echoes this message on the 13^th, and also speaks of unconventional or unexpected new beginnings linked to friendship, groups or gatherings. There’s also lots of activity around home and family matters all month (especially 8^th, 17^th and 25^th), and a rare planet pattern involving the full moon on the 27^th is about solutions and stability for home as well as career.

Cancer

22nd June – 22nd July

This month there’s lots of problem-solving discussion and communication. It’s easy to get fussy or critical about the way forward, but this distracts from the real issue, so stay on topic and help others with that too. There’s a new moon on the 13^th in your home and family chart, which indicates new beginnings in this area of your life. It’s also about comfort zone in general, and you seem to be pushing those boundaries, especially midmonth, in ways that might unsettle your emotional equilibrium but will bring fulfilment with time. Final week of October, especially full moon on the 27^th, mixes fun and faith with lots of friendship.

Leo

23rd July – 23rd August

There’s strong focus on finance and resources all month, with a cluster of feel-good planets in this area of your chart. There’s Jupiter for faith and expansion, Venus for harmony and balancing the books, and Mars for passion and drive. At times circumstances might make you lose sight of how easy it is for you to tap resources and your inner resourcefulness just now (mainly at midmonth), but even then your faith and knowledge will just return with more courage and conviction. Communication, learning and travel are powerful all month, and then the full moon on the 27^th brings events to a head linked to home and family matters, or career, status and reputation (perhaps both)

Virgo

24th August – 22nd September

Lucky Jupiter, love goddess Venus and action planet Mars are together in your sign this month. It means confidence, charm and energy, and it means being ready to move forward on what really matters to you. The new moon on the 13^th indicates a new resolve to stop settling for less than what you deserve. This uncompromising attitude is exactly what’s needed as too often in the past you’ve talked yourself out of things simply because it didn’t seem logical, and you didn’t know that feeling thrilled meant it’s a ‘yes’ from the universe. But now you are ready to risk uncharted waters so the planets support you all the way.

Libra

23rd September – 23rd October

The annual new moon in your sign on the 13^th symbolises great new beginnings this month.  Any new moon is a good time to review and reaffirm intentions, but especially when it happens in your sign. New approaches and a new appearance are on the cards in particular, and relationships are about revolution and rocking the boat. There’s an important turning point or change of mind around the 9^th, and a sense of things moving forward, especially in communication from that time. Your ruler Venus is in a spiritual mood from the 8^th, which means you are too, and meditation and mindfulness are so powerful for you (especially 16/17^th).

Scorpio

24th October – 22nd November

There’s a lot of going with the flow to be done this month, as there is necessary disruption or upheaval (especially midmonth) that might make you worry things are falling apart not coming together. Don’t hammer things into place in the search for balance as it will work against you. Instead think of it as nature taking its course, and that course includes the outcome you most desire. It’s all about mind-set, so meditate or get still when you get the urge to surge forward and fix things in a hurry. A fabulous full moon in your relationship chart on the 27^th speaks of the full support you have on what matters most.

Sagittarius

23rd November – 21st December

There’s a cluster of planets at the top of your chart, which suggests continuing focus and activity on long-term aims and ambition, and career and status. The month seems to build intensity to events around full moon time on the 27^th and it all revolves around establishing more stability and security. Midmonth might feel the opposite of that, as there’s plenty that’s unpredictable or unexpected going on, but you’re also at your most inventive and resourceful at that time, which is a kind of security or confidence you can count on. Friendship, groups and gatherings are important at this time too, possibly as the way doors of opportunity open (especially midmonth).

Capricorn

22nd December – 20th January

There’s loads of focus on long-term aims and ambition for much of the month, as well as career and status. A lot of it is about finding your balance in a big learning curve you’re going through right now (perhaps literally going through, via education or training). And some of it stems from feeling unsettled or wanting to break comfort zones and routines (especially midmonth time). Also, your perfectionist side is out in force, but your sharp analysis and meticulous assessment of what and who you believe in can be very healing when softened with compassion. This is most noticeable by the final week, especially in events around full moon time on the 27^th.

Aquarius

21st January – 18th February

It’s a very healing kind of a month, with strong focus on change, regeneration and transformation. It’s the kind of healing that comes with not trying to control the uncontrollable, and with trusting the process; it impacts all areas of your life, especially intimate relationships. The new moon on the 13^th suggests revolution is in the air; you are seeing things very differently and speaking your truth very differently too, and new beginnings are coming from it all, especially linking to education or travel. As the month goes on, security and a sense of stability are becoming more interesting to you as far as career and comfort zone goes. You don’t want one without the other.

Pisces

19th February – 20th March

A lot of things might be stirred up or seem unsettled at times this month (especially midmonth), but not only is this necessary in making the right moves for change to happen, it’s also beneficial for healing some existing situations in the long-term. There’s also a big focus on key relationships this month, including business partnerships, and any legal contracts and agreements; where events seem to bringing out your most logical, meticulous and perfectionist side. The full moon on the 27^th has a theme of security and stability and how a lot of it depends not trying too hard to control the uncontrollable.

September 2015 Horoscopes

It's eclipse season! See what that means for you with September horoscopes...

Aries

21st March – 20th April

Important changes are indicated by the lunar eclipse in your sign on the 28^th. Eclipses deepen impact of situations and circumstances, so what happens this month is likely to stay relevant for some time. First week has plenty of fire and sparkle in romance and creativity. Second week, especially around eclipse time on the 13^th, is about going with your flow despite changes you can’t control. Then it’s the build-up to the eclipse in your sign when your relationship with just about everything and everyone is under the spotlight. This is the time to insist on interpreting events positively, as there’s power in how you see yourself in situations.

Taurus

21st April – 21st May

First week there’s a sweet harmony in home and family matters, and a sense of things moving forward in this area of your life in a way they haven’t for some time; indicated by the end of Venus retrograde on the 6^th. Two eclipses this month (13^th and 28^th) suggest either your direction in certain situations is becoming firmly fixed or the next steps are becoming much more obvious. Midmonth eclipse focuses on matters of the heart and your involvement with groups and gatherings; there are new commitments from the 18^th, and then it’s all about priorities. Events around eclipse time on the 28^th suggest you make yourself number one.

Gemini

22nd May – 21st June

This month planet Saturn moves into your relationship zone for the next two years. Saturn is about commitment and responsibility, as well as any pressure and stress that comes with that. Mercury is retrograde from the 17^th, which can mean a change of mind (or two, or three) from you or others. Also, there are two eclipses (13^th and 28^th), which are about events having long-term significance and relevance. Midmonth eclipse is about a more concentrated focus on home and family matters, and if you’ve been feeling blocked creatively, or feel you’ve been missing all the fun, then the eclipse on the 28^th is about events that bring that more into balance.

Cancer

22nd June – 22nd July

There are two eclipses this month, 13^th and 28^th. Eclipse time is always a significant time for you Cancer, because you’re so emotionally tuned to the ebb and flow of the moon cycle. Eclipses focus energy intensely, so you’re doing the same: around midmonth the intensity is toward communication, learning, and travel. Then around the 28^th it’s toward long-term aims regarding home and family matters. It’s also about finding the balance in opposites; for example in work versus personal life, or career versus comfort zone, etc. September is also fab for starting long-term health and fitness goals, and for enjoying the fruits of a renewed disciplined and methodical approach to daily routine.

Leo

23rd July – 23rd August

Wow, it’s a romantic start to September with a sizzling hot Mars and Venus union in your sign, and Neptune in a dreamy, unbound kind of mood all month. There’s also a really important turning point in key relationships. It has been a summer where you’ve been the heart and soul of so many events and circumstances and things might feel quieter during September, but you need it to properly process what’s happened and, integrate all you’ve learnt.  There are two eclipses (13^th and 28^th), which tend to be about new cycles of events. The first eclipse concerns finances and the second is communication, education and travel; so notice what’s new or is calling for your positive approach around that time.

Virgo

24th August – 22nd September

Expect a busy month physically and mentally, and make time to de-stress and unwind. It seems most eventful midmonth, around solar eclipse time in your sign (13^th), and 17^th/18^th, so it’s really important to keep clearing your mind of negative or pessimistic thinking. It’s important all September actually, because there’s so much you can achieve this month. The planets speak of no limits, of potential unbound; so dreams become reality if you’re selective in your mind-set and deliberately choose to keep focusing optimistically. Otherwise the mind fog will set in and you won’t see or sense clearly the beautiful path ahead. And it is as beautiful as you can imagine.

Libra

23rd September – 23rd October

Your ruler Venus moves forward from the 6^th, for the first time since July. There have been reunions, reconnections and reviewing of relationships in that time, especially in friendships and links to groups or gatherings. You’ve also spent time revisiting certain hopes and dreams. So now it’s all about moving forward with all this. The eclipse on the 13^th is about your spiritual side, and how YOU are the light at the end of the tunnel. The sun moving through your sign from the 23^rd enlightens and awakens you further to this, ready for an important lunar eclipse on the 28^th, where the theme is about keeping a balance without losing what’s important to you.

Scorpio

24th October – 22nd November

Limits lift and priorities shift during September. There are changes of direction, of mind, and of approach in lots of ways, and yet it feels less chaotic and more like a lot of things clicking satisfyingly into place. At the top of the astro happenings list this month are two eclipses (13^th and 28^th). Eclipses set the tone or trend for weeks or months to come, so September events, particularly around those dates, are likely to reveal long-term significance. First eclipse focuses on friendship, fun, and matters of the heart. Second eclipse has a theme of finding the balance between micro-managing and going with the flow, especially regarding health and fitness, daily schedules and appointments.

Sagittarius

23rd November – 21st December

Saturn, the planet that gets more bad press than a Mercury Retrograde, returns to your sign on the 17^th for the next two years. Saturn is linked to limitation, restriction, and delay, but it’s also linked to responsibility, being the boss, and all the benefits that come with that. As Saturn is in your sign, the next two years are about being the boss of your own life and reaping the benefits of that, which means taking responsibility, owning your stuff, and not giving away power or control (meaning don’t blame anyone, including you). The eclipses this month (13^th and 28^th) symbolise important new cycles of experience that support and focus you there.

Capricorn

22nd December – 20th January

Your ruler Saturn moves to a new area of your chart for the next two years (17^th). It symbolises firm foundations and building new structures, whether it’s literal, or via a new mind-set or attitude. Unconditional love is a theme, which means never mind what others expect from you (conditional love), and never mind what limits or boundaries are in current conditions, it’s all about feeling good about yourself and your future plans regardless. When practised consistently, this approach opens up your path ahead in seemingly magical ways, dissolving obstacles effortlessly. Practice makes perfect, which is the message of September’s two eclipses (13^th and 28^th).

Aquarius

21st January – 18th February

Love, relationships and matters of the heart have the potential to put a huge smile on your face this month, especially during the first week, with a fabulous union between Venus and Mars. Relationships, contracts and agreements reach an important turning point, and can move forward in ways they haven’t up to now. There are two big eclipses (13^th and 28^th) that symbolise new paths and new directions. Eclipse energy can feel uncomfortably intense if you’re going against that new flow, rather than with it, so if events feel like wading through treacle or walking into the wind, it’s time to stop and take stock, and get plugged back into yourself in whatever way works for you.

Pisces

19th February – 20th March

There are two important eclipses this month (13^th and 28^th); the first in your relationship chart so your sense of balance, harmony and agreement with others is under the spotlight. It’s also about contracts, settlements or deals, whether new or up for review, and a strong message this month is never ever sign anything while feeling vague or unclear; get clear or wait. The second eclipse also has a theme of balance, but this one focuses on your finances, and shared resources with others. Getting priorities in order while maintaining productive connections with others is what it’s all about. Both eclipses echo themes, so events are likely to blend and overlap and connect too.
