COSMIC WAVES FORECAST FEBRUARY 16TH TO 22ND 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

The week starts out with the Moon in the middle of the Stellum (astrologer talk for a number of planets) in Aquarius. Humanitarian and social issues will be the focus for a number of weeks until it shifts from ideals to how does it feel. That shift will take from now until late March. There are two ways this will affect you. One is everything important will be closely tied to other considerations. The other is a loss of direction as general strengths are not able to shine on their own. In your own chart, heavy squares or oppositions to Aquarius will make life difficult for you in that area of life. If you flourish in air, you will be needing to consider all factors in actions because a domino effect will occur.

 I would like to give an early warning about the beginning of the Spring Equinox about March 23^rd  until the first week of May. The key will be vulnerabilities in the unseen realms.  Mercury is going retrograde about that time, which everyone will be able to relate to difficulties with electronics and communications. But the bigger difficulty will be Mars (the old god of war will be up to flexing his muscles) approaching Saturn (life lessons and foundational systems) and then Pluto (agent of transformation and nuclear energy) in Sagittarius. Throw in Uranus being square with Pluto can signal a lot of trouble in our modern living. The Sagittarian influence creates demands for ethics and honor as well as freedom. Technology can be used for good and bad. At best we will learn to live a simpler life because depending on conveniences or devices will become unsettling. The conundrum is when things work, life is more productive too. Notice a trend of decoupling with technology on a temporary or noticeable scale in your life. As prep, have what you need to back up your files and use more cash instead of buying electronically because there could be a big cyber hacking attack in the works right now. We will know more later on as to how bad it is. At this point, I think most people are aware that enemies are within and without. But I suspect ideology is the root of the source.

Friday, February 16^th. I like celebrating Chinese New Year as it corresponds more with changing weather and getting ready for new adventures. I always start out more organized so that when things start flying, I can sail through it all easily. As for influences of the day, the persona you demonstrate will be noticed by others. Such as if you are thinking of new ways to demonstrate a higher social consciousness, then many favors will come your way. A need for better leadership is being searched out, and you may be tagged as hero for the day, or month. Right now, we need to see strong and ethical standards in those we trust for bigger things. Moon in Aquarius.

Saturday, February 17^th, there is a lot of pressure to see change, and someone will come to the forefront and accept the challenge. In general, this promotion or nomination is good for the future, but expect some detractors. Right now, we are in the midst of intended chaos. What we make of it, is up to us. This will affect us in our own households all the way up to leadership rolls. Moon in Aquarius until this evening when it goes into Pisces.

Sunday, February 18^th, sometimes it seems like the world is spinning to fast. This is a day to pull back into your safe zone and find your center. Do things that personally heal you. If weather allows, venture into the outdoors and get a sense of the weather and wildlife. Mother Nature is a wonderful place to connect in a techy world. Take advantage of your family being together and do something like popcorn and a movie together. Connect with your tribe or clan to re- center who you are and how you got here. Maybe make plans for tomorrow morning to do some creative work from 8:30 to 10:30 am. Moon in Pisces.

Monday, February 19^th, the day starts out with a Grand Trine in water, that element of understanding, compassion, forgiveness and creativity. The exact time is 8:30 to 10:30 am and will be connected all through the working day. Maybe a good prayer day for the health and happiness of the nation? Just a suggestion. The majority of outside help will be restricted today. So, what ever you can pull together from within or family/tribe will get the job done. A do it yourself attitude will get the job done and some self-fulfillment as a result. Moon in Pisces.

Tuesday, February 20^th, there is an undercurrent of need for more compassion and nurturing. Changing times are tough on psyches, and right now people are needing to know where they can connect to find that. Mostly single people will notice this nagging desire. Have a bit of sympathy for your single friends as they navigate the unfriendly waters that are ahead of us. I do want to mention that there are factions working on stifling the destructive forces that are working overtime. Moon in Aries.

Wednesday, February 21^st, a wave of independence will waft over many who find a new sense of self-reliance. We are not defined by our situations, but by our ability to make the best of a situation. While logic tells us it is hopeless, our souls cry out to be heard. As long as the human outcry can so much as whisper a call for justice or reason, there is a chance. In your everyday life, say what is on your heart, without the drama of course, and there is a good chance that changes will occur. Moon in Aries.

Thursday, February 22^nd, healthy routines are rewarded, just don’t over do it! Something has broken, like a flood dam, and we want to ram into whatever our goal is for the day. Bear in mind that many decisions are tied to multiple aspects of our life. The good side of this is you are breaking away from destructive habits or situations, you could be easing many difficulties at the same time. Just chose carefully knowing that consequences are real. Reshaping if favored at this time. Moon in Taurus.

Blessings and peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST FEBRUARY 9TH TO 15TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

Have you noticed that some people are doubling down on staying in the past or not facing the needed future? Well this week the messaging will remain stuck but the situation will start to move away from actual stagnation. Like walking away from a radio, the impact will shift to more important issues. The important thing for most people is to walk your talk. If someone isn’t, then call them out on it. Just after Valentine’s day, both the Sun and Mercury will be fully engaged in Aquarius. Unfortunately, there are lots of squares and oppositions; some of the opportunities will be in short supply to actually move into something more humanitarian. Key here is positive dialogue will come from the strangest places. Carefully choose the voices you hear.

The North Node or destiny point will be trine with the Ascendant and Mars. In simple speak this means that those acting authentically and spiritually will have an easier ride this next couple of weeks. While that is usually good advice at any time, it is particularly important right now. Curb the anger and speak plainly. This is also a time to depend on what you experience rather than what you are being lead to think. There are some competing worlds out there and you are their only strength. Don’t feed the beast.

For those lovers out there, this is a fantastic week to connect on higher ideals that bring security and honor. While Cupid is known for antics rather than true companionship, set your force fields on deflector to arrows and settle into what is genuine and lasting. Eros needs to take a back seat too. Messaging that is crude should be disconnected. They are on the wrong track.

Friday, February 9^th, the Moon and Mars connect today in Scorpio. The conflicts are when the cold hard realities of money and misfortune seem to color our future. When focus needs to be on transforming into home, hearth and sanctuary. If you catch yourself in a bad spot, shift your focus where the heart is and the day will turn sweeter. Moon in Scorpio.

Saturday, February 10^th, with all the conflicts affecting us, a new sense of security needs to be found. Sometimes we are better off than we are lead to believe. I do think that a glimmer of a simpler, more emotionally fulfilling change is in the works. There is no room for over indulgence today! Pick up something related to new philosophy and read this evening or gather with friends and discuss something different.  Moon in Sagittarius.

Sunday, February 11^th, rather than fighting something complicated, take this time to recharge your batteries in all ways. There will be better days to fight though difficult projects. A lot of time should be spent in contemplation rather than doing. Moon in Sagittarius.

Monday, February 12^th, mid-morning your intuition should be activated. If you don’t function well under emotional intelligence, then ask someone else to decide on a problem that defies logic. Media will be confusing either due to deliberate actions or because not all the facts are out there and people still have to talk about something. Don’t believe everything you hear because the Jabberwocky is on a hot mike. Moon in Sagittarius until early evening when it goes into Capricorn.

Tuesday, February 13^th, yesterday’s game is still at play today. Rather than try to figure it out, which is not possible, focus on your own practice and maintain positive space. When we reliably come from discernment, then mistakes and manipulations have less of a place in our lives. We are starting to make a shift into seeing life as a human rather than a cog in the wheel. Moon in Capricorn.

Wednesday, February 14^th, this Valentine’s day, which comes to you as either a bane of delight, depending on your personal situation. The Moon being in Capricorn says “show me how much you love me”. Fortunately, there will be so many concrete ways you can show devotion throughout the day that expensive gifts probably won’t be necessary. Definitely show up and I do suggest lots of great chocolate. Never forget the chocolate. Moon in Capricorn.

Thursday, February 15^th, there is a Stellum in Aquarius today. So, make sure you are functioning in an awake manner. The Moon, our emotional nature, will touch on communications, how people present themselves, what you desire the most and how it fits with your companions and relationships. Don’t worry about having to be touchy feely, reason and discourse will be much better. Even keep your thoughts on a positive and authentic course. It all matters. Moon in Aquarius.

Blessings and peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST FEBRUARY 2ND TO 8TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

 A question that has come up is when will we be experiencing some stability? Well, a quick consult of the astrology wheel I looked at when Saturn will be out of rebellious Sagittarius. That will be February 2020. In that situation Saturn will be crossing Pluto in 29* Sagittarius in January 2020.  Remember that when a planet is at 29* there is a culmination of all that has gone before into one messy moment. These are only easy if you have fully dealt with each issue as it came up. So, if we overcome folly and aim for the real core of our needs, we will pass the test.

For me, just those two together (Saturn and Pluto) will be very potent. Depending on what is done up until that time, our destiny will take a definite change. The spectrum relating to Saturn in Capricorn is foundations, money and structure. So, if we make imprudent steps up until this time, the cost will be really tough. If smart steps happen, then there will be a settling into some security. What we do, within our own lives, our community responsibilities and those things done by politicians in guiding our laws will be very important. Stay engaged in solutions that benefit the greatest number of people.

On a lighter subject, on the 6^th, Venus goes from no nonsense Capricorn into a month of Universal light in Aquarius. Relationships of all kinds will find out some spectacular things about each other. Keep the communication flowing this month and all kinds of doorways will open. Most of this you will already know, but maybe never articulated.

An overall pattern to this week is our dreams lead us to possibilities for the day. Then the day struggles to meet the dreams and expectations. Keep the positive attitude and by mid-week things will start to flow more smoothly. Diligence to integrity is the watch word of the week.

Friday, February 2^nd, the morning will start out with the usual confluences of real life and fantasy. Well, maybe I am being harsh, real life and wishful thinking. By later afternoon, the weekend will start to look like a lot of possibilities. Most plans will have problems until the evening. So, if it doesn’t work out a new set of activities will emerge later. Follow those! By 8ish it will be a great time to do some self-empowering work. What ever you need to do, use this time to make it happen. Moon in Leo.

Saturday, February 3^rd, the morning will start out OK, but will soon degenerate into wondering where you are going and how did you get here. Since there is no answer your questions, then make the best of the day and do something that takes care of you. Return to healing modalities and just ride out the day. Moon in Virgo.

Sunday, February 4^th, today is a beginning of a short wave of pulling things together. Spend the day planning how to use this energy over the next week. One thing to consider is reliance on others is going to be hard to muster. As they are equally trying to simplify and maintain some independence. We all need times like this to build self esteem and know your own boundaries. While lessons learned on independence are valuable, you will also need to know who in your life is reliable. Keep the tribe close. Moon in Virgo.

Monday, February 5^th, the outer world is of little assistance. And you will find it hard to motivate during the day. But if yesterdays plans were designed, you still will have a blueprint to get a lot done. Keep it small and keep it real. Moon in Libra by late evening.

Tuesday, February 6^th, Venus shifts into Aquarius today. Expect more quirky surprises but this time they are endearing. Hard work will give you more of what you want. So, keep to the plan and move forward. Things will start to show more than promise. Tomorrow and the next day, luck will reward the diligent. Moon in Libra.

Wednesday, February 6^th, there is a T square affecting Jupiter (the bearer of opportunities) but it is more related to difficulties with points of destiny and the future. As long as you are working on the home front, you will be rewarded with some great revelations, and comradery with those around you. Something you have worked on, will show you where it is going. Or even find a completion in the next couple of days. Luck follows those who deserve it. Moon in Libra.

Thursday, February 7^th, now is the day to put in that last push for something you have wanted. Yesterday, you needed to ride a wave, today you need to put in the footsteps to make it happen. Knowing when to act can make easy work of the seemingly impossible. If you feel it in your bones, you know it is right! Moon in Scorpio.

Blessings and peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JANUARY 26TH TO FEBRUARY 1ST 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

What is shifting this week is Mercury is going into Capricorn.  Because of some afflictions, this can slow thinking, change decisions and in general mess with communications being understood. For the next few weeks get stuff in writing, rather than a hand shake. All attention will be on finances, property and getting things locked down, but depending on the preparation, it is all on potentially shifting sands. If you make a mistake, you will find out in a week or so. Plan B’s are a good idea.

The Sun and Venus in Capricorn will be in conflict with the destiny points. There will be a tendency to fall into old patterns rather than embrace what needs to define us in the future. This is where courage and dedication are tested in what ever area of life you must experience this event. If you have been keeping up with all your responsibilities, odds are you will only meet a passing glace with intensity and change. Keep it real and keep on your toes!

Friday, January 26^th greets us with some great news that makes the heart feel like truth will triumph. By afternoon, a struggle to hold on to that truth will ensue. Stay humble and know that ethics are everything when it comes to life. Wavering outside of that will have consequences. Moon in Taurus.

Saturday, January 27^th, there is a scramble to “save face” and obscure reality. Dirty tricks are in the works, so be sure if you have to sign something, that you have a back out clause or provisions for rectifying misinformation. There is more of a “block and punt” attitude in all parties just wanting to get it worked out, later. The Moon in Taurus has a lesson for those who need to learn to hold on to hallowed truths. Conversely those who want to continue the sham will be playing hard ball too. Are we having fun yet? Moon in Taurus.

Sunday, January 28^th, consider anything significant will be in a standoff. New information has come to light and forcing opinions on who holds the keys to the future will be contestable. If you have a choice, then stall for another day. Let the chips fall where they may and take up any issues at the next convenient opportunity. Moon in Gemini.

Monday, January 29^th, work hard to face the inevitable. Those are the people who will overcome some weird events and tactics. By the end of the day progress can be seen. A lesson of the last few days is if dirty tricks are used, then those people cannot be trusted under any circumstance. Best to choose better compatriots. Moon in Gemini.

Tuesday, January 30^th, the day starts out with feeling lucky. By afternoon your perceptions will be tested as combatants come out swinging. The key for today is not to become complacent and to stay on guard through the day. There is a wave of pay back in the works. The struggle between good an evil is palatable today. With this moon being in Sidereal Cancer, expect tantrums, screaming matches, warrants, edicts and anything that can rip you up if you are not on steady ground. Those who can mix empathy as well as good works should do well by afternoon. Craziness is everywhere so watch your back, too. Moon in Cancer.

Wednesday, January 31^st, this is a difficult day. The eclipse, blue full moon brings an intensity unseen for a while. While the Sun and Venus are in opposition for the next few days with the North Node (or point of destiny), expect some fireworks when the Moon conjoins that node. The tough part is we need to go forward where compassion and empathy reside. The way of the past is the down side to Capricorn, which is fixation and sullenness. Check on your Capricorn friends as they may be under some heavy emotional pressure. A bit of solace now will make a huge difference. Moon I Cancer.

Thursday, February 1^st, the day starts by looking good, but it would be an illusion. Leadership and luck are part of today's events. There are a number of promising line ups so know that keeping your cool will leave the least damage should you be a target of abuse. Also wait for the right time to act, those opportunities will be fleeting. Moon in Leo.

Blessings and peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JANUARY 19TH TO 25TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

This week will be more like playing a game. How to choose either defensive or offensive moves is up to you. A lot of info out there is less and less reliable. This may be more of a week of observing and letting the puzzle pieces come together.

All this week is a perfect time to focus on healthy living and adding any missing routines to achieve that glowing health wanted by spring. The hard spot is focus on future events is weak while the opportunities to engage in what you want to do is hobbling along. So, work on things you can control, and wait for the rest to get back into gear.

Friday, January 19^th, there is 

some uplifting news for those who can still listen to the daily reports. Otherwise, your perspective is going into the doldrums. I find this happens a lot when the weather is dialed into winter and I start feeling closed in by four walls. Fortunately, I can get out occasionally, others are not so lucky. Give people a call if they are shut in and be polite on social media. We all need some TLC. Moon in Aquarius.

Saturday, January 20^th, after a mixed day, late in the afternoon there is an optimistic vibe all around should you decide to tap into it. That optimism can turn into some obsessive behavior for changes. Go easy and instead of throwing out things, just box them up in case you just got over enthusiastic. Tomorrow may look very different. Moon in Aquarius.

Sunday, January 21^st, you will get a handle on yesterday’s events and find your way to feeling better. Something about openness to transformation that sets events into motion. Be good to yourself and find your center. Try not to blow things out of proportion. Moon in Pisces later in the evening.

Monday, January 22^nd, there is an uneasy truce with what is secure. Asking questions is usually a good idea, just be careful how and whom you ask. Credentials and reputation are everything right now. Not everyone is going to be giving you verifiable information. Moon in Pisces.

Tuesday, January 23^rd, tampering with information can lead to some poor choices. Ask yourself if the information is good in the future or if it simply harps on old language that is misleading. There is a choice today to find a viable future, that leaves the untenable behind. Chose wisely. Moon in Pisces.

Wednesday, January 24^th, what didn’t jive yesterday, falls into place today. This time expect some denials of the “gaming” of what you just saw. This is a good day to trust your own council. Moon in Aries.

Thursday, January 25^th, a new defensive push to block progress. It will be hard to sort out valid information so cross reference independent sources. If still confused assume that wait and see is the best option before making a commitment. Moon in Aries.

Blessings and peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JANUARY 12TH TO 18TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

This week starts off with a continuing wave of feel good or karma. Hey, karma can feel good if you have been doing your best. A triad with Pluto/Chiron/Jupiter/Mars has some big news at the first of the week but details will just turn off for a while when Mercury is out of sync with other planets. The 15^th will give us a hint of what is affecting all of us. Time to savor information rather than push for more. For writers out there, later in the week you will probably get back in the flow.

This is also a week to remember to keep a healthy mindset. We are getting set up in a series of weeks where there seems to be two worlds, one of crushing karma and drama and one of revelations and lucky situations. I hope you are enjoying luck. Just be aware that any contracts signed this week will meet with some back tracking due to deficiencies. If something seems too good to be true, they you know that further examination is necessary before signing.

Another interesting event is happening in the skies this week. By January 14^th many planets are following the Sun. You can’t see them because of the proximity of the Sun. What is going to happen is these orbs, Venus/Sun/ Pluto/Mercury/Saturn will be visited by the transiting Moon creating sparks of both emotional rollercoasters to deeper feelings of how things are shaping up.

This week also, the Sun and Venus go into Capricorn. For the game of romance, this means that tallies will be made of who has done what. Getting back to financial basics as the aftermath of Christmas shopping and taxes start to loom in our minds. For those who can work together and create better systems in their lives, joy will ensue. It never hurts to take a yearly review of where you are and where you want to go. This is a great time to do that with a level head. Expect to have a full month to get it together.

Uranus has been direct a few days now. What that means for a while is you won’t believe what you are experiencing. Just enough questions revolve around events in our lives that most should take the “wait and see” approach to how things are going. Do continue to have some optimism as that means we are breaking the wave of fear porn. But yet, untrustworthy situations will arise and you just need to demand proof while visualizing a constructive outcome.

Friday, January 12^th, this is a great day to give a quick evaluation of how you feel about things in your life. What do you want and how is it shaping up? Do a double check on false facades as they are out there. Sometimes it is fine because we want to get along and put on a happy face. Take this as a time to negotiate or inquire if you sense something is not right. Moon in Scorpio.

Saturday, January 13^th. Those that allow providence to occur will find that lucky are those who can trust their intuition. While in todays reality, that is a rare gift, most of us actually just have it turned down so that we don’t hear it. Let intuition flow and you will find some interesting surprises in your day. Moon in Scorpio.

Sunday, January 14^th, the moon will be passing that impressive Stellum that follows the sun. We want to know more of what is just below the surface, but will have to wait until tomorrow for that to leak out. This would be a great day to just enjoy your life and then rest up for tomorrows events and news. Moon in Sagittarius.

Monday, January 15^th, there will be a coming together of our collective consciousness today as long-awaited information starts to burst forward. The fiery aspect of Sagittarius brings thrust for honor, values and integrity. By the evening, there will be some bad luck for sneaky players around us. It will be like bad luck for someone trying to cheat of obfuscate the truth. Moon in Sagittarius.

Tuesday, January 16^th, some important communications will shut off today. Don’t despair as they will show up tomorrow. There are some very heavy aspects for good and ill at this moment. If you are not in a fire storm, count your blessings. Moon goes into Capricorn later today.

Wednesday, January 17^th, the public is let in on a secret today, but it is probably not earth moving. Just another piece of the puzzle. The good news is things will settle down by this evening on most fronts. Take a breather before things pick back up again when the Moon crosses Neptune’s path of social justice and concerns.

Thursday, January 18^th, the lucky triad dissolves today and there will be a significant amount of back tracking. Odds are any contracts signed in the preceding days will meet with understanding the deficiencies. Sometimes agreements are just works in progress, so try not to over react. Think strategy and alternatives and grow from the situation if you are stuck with it. Moon in Capricorn.

Blessings and peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JANUARY 5TH TO 11TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

Take advantage of the shifting sands of your attitude and perceptions. Those Sagittarius ruminations of why are we here and how to enjoy life will take a shift into testing those theories. Next week, January 14^th the Sun will start its journey in Capricorn. That will bring more attention to money, property and ego into focus. And the stresses are powerful at this time. Capricorn likes order, and we are in a time for disorder. Guard your assets and hold on for the ride.

Friday, January 5^th, brings a lot of pressure to perform. It may seem that working at future projects just is to cumbersome. If you do come to a wall, turn towards how you are dealing with your stress and connecting with “group think”. While it feels good to be a rebel, what feels better is agreement to how we can work together. Consider your objectives and how honorable they are. A day when both philosophy and ethics reign supreme. Do your reality check and be ready for tomorrow.  Moon in Leo.

Saturday, January 6^th, what was stifled yesterday gets a lucky boost today. Still many will have trouble seeing into the future, and that is just how life is sometimes. If you aren’t feeling like we are making this up as we go, then you are deluding yourself. Your addition to a positive future will gather strength with others creating that next phase. Still many unusual and surprising communications will keep our attention piqued. Should be a really interesting and possibly exciting day! Moon in Leo.

Sunday, January 7^th, the last few days have been draining. Rather than try to fight any malaise or challenges, take a day off to get centered and rested. Fun activities are favored to bring your health back into focus. What better excuse do you need to do something completely different? Moon in Virgo.

Monday, January 8^th, any outdated opinions or coercions will start to feel really awkward. If you are in that position, relating to anything from political leanings to how you fix your oatmeal in the morning, needs immediate attention. Probably a day that will be hard to make it to work, but that might be what you need to understand better, too. Attitude is everything today. Moon in Virgo.

Tuesday, January 9^th, your emotions will give you a break with deeper understanding of the unsettling news and general drudge of life. It will feel like a threshold has been accomplished. Not much else will really have changed, but something in you has. Moon in Libra.

Wednesday, January 10^th, the next couple of days will find a sense of optimism. Now some of this is just feel good but some of it is just knowing there is only so long you can fight an idea. It will drive you crazy to fight all the time. Chose your battles carefully and allow some optimism to creep in. Others will be doing the same, even if there is nothing to support it. Just enjoy the vibe and maybe it will gain some momentum. Right now, no one knows where we as a group are going. Moon in Libra.

Thursday, January 11^th, information may stop flowing, but expect some fireworks to hit high places that need transformation. Hopes and dreams are on the line right now, and who knows where it will lead. Luck follows some and not so much for others. Those in touch with their feelings and intuition will do the best. Some difficult information is on the horizon, but it won’t be known for a while. Lots of challenges to getting it out in its entirety. That goes for things you may be negotiating all the way up to big guys. Because there is too much that is undefined, no one wants to hold on to an agreement, or argue for that matter. Moon in Scorpio by evening.

Blessings and peace,

Connie Hansen
