Through the "as above, so below" mysteries, we look outside of ourselves for indicators of inner change and opportunity. Today, the Hubble telescope shows us the way.
Over the past year, Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune have travelled together in the sign of Aquarius. At this time, they are essentially at the same degree (22-24) in Aquarius. They will continue moving as a group through early January when Jupiter moves on to the sign of Pisces. Another few hundred years will pass before this trio is together again in Aquarius.
Jupiter vibration carries the quality of expansion and optimism. Chiron represents the healing dynamic of energy. While, Neptune, in part the ruler of photography and imaging, offers us the gift of vision and the dreamtime. Their trek together in the cosmic sign of Aquarius has been showering us with grace for healing humanities vision for how we co-exist and prosper together.
This past May, the Hubble telescope underwent a significant upgrade (healing) in its optics (Neptune) and other scientific instruments. This was akin to getting a cosmic (Aquarius) makeover. The improvement in optics has been astounding (Jupiter). At the time of the repair, Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune were closely together, as they are once again.
Today, the Hubble Imaging Team demonstrated the fruits of this upgrade. In September, Hubble was pointed toward a relatively "empty" area of the sky (it had imaged this area about 5 years ago with less sensitive optics). What returned is an image filled with even more galaxies than the initial image, each an island of innumerable stars. Note, every point of light in this image is a galaxy, like our own Milky Way Galaxy. Now that's what I call a "Jupiter effect"!
As Hubble looks deep in the cosmos, we are given the same opportunity to look deeply within ourselves. Using the collective energy of the Aquarius trio this month, the time is ripe to enhance and heal our inner vision for a healthier quality of life for all.

Full Moon is an opportunity for action, to release and expand in in the world. Our closest planetary body, the Moon symbolizes where we feel most at home and emotional connection.
Gemini Full Moon is about networking and communication - potent Gemini astrology themes. This Full Moon shines light on these areas through your writing, teaching, and talking abilities. Here's a great time to network and multitask. Opposite the Sun in questing Sagittarius, this Gemini Full Moon window poses the question: "How do I use my Gemini gifts of communication on my spiritual path?" "What information can I gather to support my quest for the deeper meanings of life?"
Other planetary patterns occurring on this Full Moon suggest clarity of spiritual content and getting the word out in creative and inventive ways. Here, critical tension builds for new forms of expression (Mercury in Saggitarius square Uranus in Pisces).
On a personal and professional note, our recent experiences at the Network Transformational Gate weekend in Como, Italy and San Francisco served as a springboard to inspire action in how we share our life, love and our work. Look for new forms of astrological updates coming soon from Gemini Awakening.
Gemini is the sign of the twins and the lovers. Together, we serve as healing catalysts to awaken ancient wisdom for the modern age. Gemini Awakening - Mahalo & a hui hou !

As Mars nears its December 20th retrograde, it is becoming brighter and more noticeable in the pre-dawn sky. Look for a bright, amber colored, star-like object that does not twinkle above the eastern horizon. This brightening occurs because Earth is catching up, or drawing closer to Mars, as both continue their orbital dance around the Sun.
Retrograde means a slowing down, then a temporary reversal of position in the sky background. Ordinarily, Mars moves through one sign of the zodiac in about 5 weeks. However, at retrograde, the lingering stretches this time frame to over 8 months.
As the astrological archetype of Mars continues its 8 month journey through the sign of Leo, it brings Leo like attention to itself in a variety of ways. In part, the Leo archetype enjoys being on center stage. It relishes the spotlight and the adulation that sometimes occurs. This is a wonderful time to shine a spotlight on the inner Mars of your astrological natal chart, exploring ways to recalibrate and re-energize its vibration over the coming Mars retrograde months.
If you'd like a free copy of your natal chart and our Astrological Interpretation Guide, send us an e-mail with your birth information (date, time, location).
The inner journey of Mars has an outer journey too. The Boston Globe's tri-weekly photo series "The Big Picture" puts its Leo-like spotlight on the planet Mars and its mysterious, artistic landscape. This pictorial journey may be found here. Wonderful timing for this sort of information. "Why" you might ask? Today the magnetic Moon moves through early degrees Leo and conjoins or meetsMars. How's that for magnetic spotlight magic!
