Truth & Compassion, Astrology Highlights, January 13-19, 2020

Hello Friends,

How did you handle last week's big energy shifts? I was really mindful and took the time to observe, especially at my job, before speaking or acting on something. I was pleasantly surprised how well some meetings went.

We are still working under the effects of both the full moon lunar eclipse and the Saturn/Pluto conjunction. The energies of the first will last 6 months and the energies of Saturn & Pluto being on the same degree point lasts until Tuesday, January 14. They will remain conjunct (two planets within 10 degrees of each other) for the next year, but they will now begin to separate. So their effect on the transformation of governments, businesses, and institutional systems will continue.

On January 13, the week starts off with the Sun (in Capricorn) in a position of conjunction with both Saturn and Pluto. The Sun brings a lot of light to this conjunction and may reveal issues for you around power and authority. Are you feeling empowered or helpless? Also be on the alert for physical ailments.

The energy of the Sun can also act as a source of motivation. You see what systems or routines in your life that need to be transformed. The Sun supports your ambition to move what you learn forward and take action.

The tarot card that came out for this aspect was the Ace of Swords. This feels like to me the sword of power and truth.Whatever is revealed to you during the Saturn Pluto conjunction, which is lasting months and months, will be the truth that you need to follow. The sword cuts away the mystery, the mask, the fake surface stuff and gets to the deeper issues. A sword is also a symbol of power and the Saturn/Pluto conjunction is, at its essence, a power struggle.



The other aspect to kick off our Monday, is Venus moving into Pisces. It will be there until Feb 7. Venus is the divine feminine power ruling love, money, compassion, and passion. Pisces, a water sign, is about spiritual and unconditional love. This is an opportunity to look at people around you with compassion and kindness. You may see their wounds or their flaws, but it just doesn't matter. You will have empathy. A lot of feelings will be flowing in a positive and creative way.

It is fascinating to me that the Wheel of Fortune came out of the deck to give us insight to Venus moving into the zodiac sign of Pisces. I feel like it means that we (Society) need to make a shift from meanness and indifference to compassion and kindness. Even if a few of us start, maybe it will spread. Does this turning wheel mean that is happening? I hope so.


On Thursday, January 16, Mercury also changes signs and moves into Aquarius. He will be there until Feb. 3. Mercury, the planet of information, communication, and intellectual pursuits is very comfortable in Aquarius, an air sign that is independent and analytical. Aquarians can tend to be idealistic humanitarians looking to solve the global issues humans face.

This aspect could mean that you experience a lot of noise in your head. Lots of ideas could overwhelm you, so it would be a good idea to calm your mind by writing them down. Channel the ideas in a constructive way. This could also mean that you receive downloads while you sleep -- solutions, poetry, song lyrics, and mathematical equations.

A good idea may lead to an opportunity. So pay attention to your downloads. The Knight of Pentacles is the most diligent and methodical knight in the tarot. He is also the slowest. But he represents action taken that may produce money and security. This could also be connected to the humanitarian in Aquarius. Does the Knight take action and raise funds to help a good cause?

The last aspect of the week that I will list is that Mercury squares (or challenges) Uranus late Friday into Saturday (January 17-18). Mercury the messenger challenges Uranus the ruler of freedom, rebellion and revolution. With Uranus, expect the unexpected. In this squaring, you might receive a message or information out of the blue. It may also mean that you encounter people who have no filter (good or bad). I would be on the alert for reactionary communication. It would be a good time to ground yourself so that you don't fly off the handle either.

The Nine of Pentacles represents the wealthy privileged lady who has everything and is secure. Sometimes the card is referred to as the "Garden of Eden." My eye was drawn to the feminine symbol on her belt. It makes me wonder if the challenge between Mercury and Uranus triggers bad financial information, or is something to do with women. Maybe it is news delivered by a powerful woman? Hmmm.

We will have to see how this week plays out.
I wish you the best as we travel through these energies.

Big Week, Astrology highlights for the week of January 6-12, 2020

Hello Folks,
We have some major astrological aspects this week to discuss. We have great potential to harness the
energies for the changes we need to make in our lives and community. There will be global happenings, heck, unless you live in a cave you already know about those happenings. Because of the immensity of these aspects, I'm adding something new to these forecasts -- pulling a tarot card for an intuitive look at the aspect from another perspective.  Please give me feedback. Do you like that or not? Would your rather I just do an astrological summary and pull the cards the day of the aspect and post to the blog? Let me know what you think in the comments on Facebook or below.

The major aspect this week falls on January 10 -- the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 20 degrees in the zodiac sign of Cancer. 

The first thing to expect is that the eclipse will increase the energy and influences of the Full Moon. It is steroids to the moon. The effects will last much long -- 6 months -- so that you have plenty of time to make the changes it wants you to make.

The full moon is about completion, adjustment, or letting something go. The eclipse means changes too. The other interesting thing I noticed is that the Full Moon falls on January 10 in the United States. The number ten closure or completion.

The Hermit from the Pre-Raphealite Tarot Deck

This astrological aspect is taking place in Cancer. Cancer is all about home, feelings of security, the mother, the emotional center, and nurturing. Expect heightened emotions and heightened energies around our subconscious. My intuition is telling me that the purpose of this full moon lunar eclipse is to help us see where we need to stop doing the things that don't nurture us and to be more conscious of self-care and nurturing our gifts. Where in your life do you need nurturing? What needs to be nurtured in you?

The card pulled for the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse was the Hermit. The Hermit seeks spiritual wisdom. He seeks to know all about himself. His light shines into the darkness of his soul searching for answers within. The water and the moon in the card symbolize Cancer -- the mystery of the emotional depths within us. The Hermit is connected to Great Spirit, see the golden light coming from the heavens and Hermit serves as a conduit for that energy to go into the earth (note his bare feet). Grounds yourself this week.

Eight of Pentacles

Another major aspect this week falls on January 11 -- Uranus (in Taurus) goes direct. Uranus went into retrograde on August 12, 2019 and offered us a time to see what needs to be changed in our physical world including the structures and routines of our lives. Uranus is the planet of revolution, opportunities, surprises, and freedom. It is about power and control.It is the planet that represents science, invention, electricity, and humanitarian movements. It also governs lightening and one should always expect the unexpected strike of Uranus's energy. When Uranus goes direct in Taurus on Saturday, it is time to take action on transforming the things in and around your life that you need to change. It may be your job, your residence, or anything that you feed is a burden. Uranus wants free you from the clutter (in the mind, body, and spirit). If you don't make the adjustments in your life, then Uranus may create upheaval that will force you to make them.

At right is the card I pulled for more insight on Uranus going direct. The eight of Pentacles signals hard work and diligence that leads to prosperity, but it can also mean doing the same thing over and over in monotony. Uranus wants you to innovate and when it goes direct it may give you the opportunity to shake things up in order to try a new way to prosperity.

Last but certainly not least is the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. They are already conjunct, with less than 10 degrees of separation, but on January 12, they will be exactly conjunct on the same degree in Capricorn (22 degrees). In addition the Sun will be conjunct with them on 22 degrees and Mercury will be at 23 degrees!  Many other astrologers have done more in-depth analyses of the powerful effect this aspect will have on the global level.

Saturn is the taskmaster, wants you to master your skills and go up a level of maturity. Saturn is about responsibility, patriarchy, governments, restriction and structures (institutions & corporations). Pluto wants to dismantle structures and transform systems. Pluto is about immense subconscious power, the power to destroy and create at the same time. Pluto rules volcanoes and earthquakes -- both of which destroy the area around them when they explode or break apart the earth, but they also create a entirely new landscape.

You have already seen and felt the power of this conjunction thus far with chaos in the global community -- protests in Hong Kong, Brexit troubles in the UK, the divisiveness in the U.S., and much more going on elsewhere. We see lots of systemic corruption that needs to be fixed. It will only increase in the short term.

There is an opportunity here too. The possibility of making better government and societal systems that serve all the people. Again, I encourage you to seek out more information about this aspect and how other astrologers interpret it.

At the personal level, you may feel overwhelmed at all the changes. Many astrological aspects in 2019 were encouraging us to let go of the old and embrace the new. Well, the new may be upon us. Even new, exciting things can stress us out. Ground yourself and make your own self-care a priority!

Queen of Staves

A very interesting card came from the deck that gives us more insight into the Saturn/Pluto conjunction. The Queen of Staves is the fire element queen. She is creative, intuitive, and confident. She has the strength of lions within her and will fight like the lion if needed. She is tapped into the divine (see her familiar at her feet). So in the days ahead you need to allow Spirit to flow through you as she does. Listen to your intuition and those creative ideas that come to you. Detach from the global drama, but focus on the creativity you can bring to your local community.


So, this is a big week astrologically and they energies will continue through next week and beyond. I hope this was helpful, though it was brief. Any feedback is welcome on these highlights as well as the inclusion of cards to give some intuitive insight.



I wish you the best as we travel through these energies.

Transformation Energies, Astrology of the Week, Nov 11-17, 2019

Hello Folks!
What a great week this is going to be astrologically. There will be some intense energies but they come with the opportunity for all of us to transform ourselves and the environment around us. As I look over the week, which I outlined below, I see a definite story being played from the inside to the outside. The Sun and Mercury (in retrograde) are still in Scorpio. Pluto and Saturn are in Capricorn. Neptune is in Pisces, and Venus is in Sagittarius. The Moon moves quickly through the zodiac, so I will indicate its location with each aspect below.

We start with something deep inside being revealed and illuminated into our consciousness on Monday, November 11, with the Sun conjunct with Mercury. A conjunction between two cosmic bodies results in the intensification of their energies. On top of that both are in Scorpio. So not only do they intensify their individual energies they boost it in a Scorpionic way. This could be an ah-ha moment.

So what deep thoughts, internal programming or values will come up from the unconscious into the light of awareness for you? What will you do with it when you become aware? Release it under the Full Moon perhaps?

Then we sail into a jam packed Tuesday, Nov. 12, with the Full Moon and two aspects (one negative and one positive) to that Moon. The full moon is at 19 degrees of Taurus. The full moon gives us an opportunity to bring something to completion or to release something from our lives. The issue here is that Taurus is a fixed sign and doesn't like to let go of anything. It is being pushed by the other aspects, especially the Sun and Mercury, as the Moon is in opposition to Mercury. This opposition aspect is really pushing us to look at what we value in the material world -- the luxuries that we enjoy. Are you enjoying the material world (too much money, food, sex, stuff) to excess? Does that support the spiritual side of you? The soul/spirit is asking us to have discipline and bring balance to our lives between the material and soul. Taurus may resist but we have other energetic support in the Full Moon Trine to Pluto aspect also happening on Tuesday. Pluto is the ruler of symbolic death and rebirth. This full moon and its aspects bring incredible opportunities for seismic transformation in ourselves and our lives.

On Wednesday, Nov. 13, we have the energies of three more interesting aspects.
First Mercury Trines Neptune, so that might trigger or fine tune your psychic abilities. It may also help your intuition when it comes to determining what motives people have around you. Listen carefully to your intuition. The second aspect of the day is that Mercury is in Sextile to Saturn -- look for the opportunity to manifest (make something happen) in your life. Lastly, the Sun is also having Sextile with Pluto -- you are feeling confident about transformation. Perhaps you have figured out your path and purpose.

Venus is in a Square, or challenging aspect, to Neptune on Thursday, Nov. 14. Perhaps a relationship in your life is not based in reality. Be careful of deception, of the self and by others. There could also be money issues here too.

There you have it. Opportunities to grow and transform as a person and community. My hope is that by knowing about the energies you can take advantage of them. You are not a victim, you can ride the energy waves.

Cheers & Blessing to you for a great week!

Power Struggles & Deep Conversations -- Astrology of November 4-10, 2019

Good Morning Folks!

My apologies for the short post, I had a very busy weekend. Overall advice is to lay low at the beginning of the week and come out later in the week to look for opportunities.

Let's dive right into the week with a major aspect on Monday and Tuesday (Nov 4-5), depending where you are in the world, with a Square aspect between Mars (in Libra) and Pluto (in Capricorn). Mars the planet of action and pushing forward challenges the planet of transformation, death & rebirth. Both of these planets ruled Scorpio, the zodiac sign we are currently transiting. Mars was the ruler of Scorpio until Pluto was discovered in the 1940s. Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio.

So what we have is both of these ruling planets go head to head in a power struggle of dominance and control. Be alert and aware of your surroundings today. People may be impatient or experience road rage. Avoid conflict if you can. 

On Friday, Nov. 8, we have a menage a trois of planets in positive aspects to each other.  

Sun (in Scorpio) trine to Neptune (in Pisces)
Sun is in a sextile with Saturn (in Capricorn), 
Saturn is in sextile to Neptune.

On Saturday, Nov 9, Mercury (retrograde/in Scorpio) sextile to Pluto 9 (in Capricorn)

The trine aspect between the Sun and Neptune is harmonious, bringing your dreams to light or reality. The sextile aspects are opportunities that you need to look for and act on, so be open to any new opportunities that you find. Something spiritual may manifest and the Mercury/Pluto sextile may pave the way for a deep conversation with someone.

That's the week in short. Many blessings to you all,

Joan Barnes

PS: I am not booked for any events this November, which is fine. I'm am going to plan new services for the end of this year and into 2020! Stay tuned for that news!

Sun in a new sign and a new moon -- the Astrology of the week of Oct. 21, 2019

Hello Friends,

The Sun moves into Scorpio and a new Moon on the weekend also in Scorpio are the highlights of the week.

We start the week with a trine (positive aspect) between Venus (in Scorpio) and Neptune (in Pisces) on Monday, October 21, 2019. As I've written before Venus rules money and relationships and Neptune rules imagination, mystery, illusion and dreams. Both planets are in Water signs, so prepared for blissful emotions, a boost to creativity and maybe a blessing in money or relationships. A great way to start the week.

By Wednesday, the Sun moves from the sign of Libra into the sign of Scorpio, where it will be for the next four weeks. The Sun joins Mercury and Venus who are already in the sign.

Scorpio is a water sign and ruled by Pluto (god of the underworld). Water signs usually signify emotions, but for the Scorpio, the emotions are down in the depths. But when those emotions surface, there is a lot of passion and intensity. On top of that is its ruling planet, Pluto, that brings seismic transformations into our lives. Pluto is about the ending of one phase and beginning of another.

So for the next four weeks, you have the opportunity while the Sun, Venus, and Mercury in Scorpio to do some in depth examination of your relationships and communications. Dig deep to bring to the surface anything that needs to be healed. You might see some relationships end, but others transform.

By the end of the week, on Sunday, Oct. 27, three aspects are occurring.
1.  Mars (in Libra) squares/challenges Saturn (in Capricorn)
2. New Moon in Scorpio at 4 degress.
3. late in the day, the Sun (in Scorpio) opposes Uranus (in Taurus)

Get some extra rest this day because of the challenging aspect of Mars v. Saturn. The Mars energy of moving forward is being held back by restrictive Saturn. You may feel physically tired. The new moon signs our new beginning on an emotional level if we take advantage of the energy. Moon joining the Sun, Venus, and Mercury intensives the emotional depths. The last aspect of the Sun opposing Uranus starts later in the day and goes into Monday. This one may bring something unexpected that happens or a sudden shift of energy.

The vision I got from Spirit at the end of this examination of the week is that we are all starting out at the shallow end of the pool at the beginning of the week and by the end, we are at the deep end. Don't fight it, go with the flow of the water. Just be prepared to dive below the surface.

Blessings,
Joan Barnes

Astrology of the week, Oct. 14-20, 2019

Hello Friends!
As the week begins we are still under the influence of the full moon in Aries energy. It is a very action-oriented moon but was in conflict with Pluto creating the potential extreme mood swings.

On Monday, Oct. 14, the Sun squares Pluto. This is not the greatest or best aspect to start the week unfortunately. There may be chaos in the environment that you will wish to try to control. Some things are not under control and happen so that we may be pushed towards transformation or spiritual evolution. Try to let go of that which you cannot control.

On Tuesday, Oct. 15, the planet Mercury is in a trine with Neptune. Thinking and communication are in harmony with the creative idealistic Neptune. You may be especially sensitive since the chaos the day before and your psychic powers are firing on all cylinders. Tap into your creativity today. That will help relieve the stress of the last few days with the difficult conflicts at the full moon on Monday.

Next weekend, Mercury is in a sextile with Pluto on Saturday (Oct 19) and Venus is in a sextile with Saturn on Sunday (Oct 20). For the Mercury-Pluto aspect, transformation may come when you dig for answers or information. Reassess the emotions your dealt with over the past week, what patterns and emotions did you experience? What tripped your trigger? Think about how you can change this.

The Venus-Saturn aspect signals a constructive course of action moving forward either in the workplace or in a relationship. Our values are grounded at the end of the week and as you look back at this past week, what is not working for you? What do you need to let go of in order to bring in something better? Big reassessment time for the weekend. Find quiet  time to think.

Blessings for a positive week!

Astrology for the Week of September 30-October 6, 2019

Dear Friends!

First, let me offer my apologies for letting this blog lapse for so long. I have a full-time job in which August becomes the busiest month of my life and on top of that I had seminars to teach in September. So I spent free time prepping slide shows, handouts, and scripts. Those obligations have been successfully completed so that I can come back and communicate the weekly astrological forecast. I am also working on a type of reading that includes astrology. I will be announcing that soon!

We just passed the new moon in Libra that occurred on September 28, 2019 so that energy of new partnerships, relationships, bring a new balance to your life will continue to influence the atmosphere for the next two weeks.

For Monday, Sept. 30 & Tuesday, Oct. 1, Venus (transiting Libra) is in a square with Pluto (transiting Capricorn). Square aspects create conflict between the two planets and the energies they rule. Venus in Libra, is all about relationships and partnerships of all kinds, while Pluto is about power, control,  transformative changes. On a deeper level this is about imbalance in the masculine and feminine energies in ourselves and our planet. The divine feminine is trying to reclaim its power and bring balance to society. In ourselves this may present as power-struggles between people. Is someone trying to control you? Are you trying to control someone else? Take a look at your relationships this week.

On Wednesday, Oct. 2 & Thursday, Oct. 3, there are two aspects in the astrology happening:
1. Pluto, which has been retrograde for the last six months, turns into direct motion. This aspect will intensify the square with Venus as described above. This also means that all the deepest desires you have been pondering over the last six months can potentially be fulfilled. Transformation can move into reality.

2. Mercury moves from the sign of Libra into the sign of Scorpio. Mercury the planet that rules our mind, thoughts, communications, and its move into Scorpio means you will go deeper into your subconscious. There may also be potential for anxiety or frenzied thinking when Mercury opposes Uranus on Oct. 6, but you just need to be mindful, slow down, and listen more than talk. Be careful of sharing those opinions. Usually, we would only experience Mercury in Scorpio for three weeks, but by the end of October, Mercury will retrograde which means 9 weeks of this energy.

Last but not least, by Friday Oct. 4, Mars moves out of the sign of Virgo and moves into Libra. Mars, the planet of action, doesn't really feel comfortable in Libra, which demands balance. Mars is not at full power, but that is okay because Libra's influence means that diplomacy is up and actions taken are for everyone's benefit.

Challenging Energies and the Astrology for the week of July 8, 2019

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Mind, Body, & Soul Expo in Lincoln. I had a blast at my table. Thanks to all that stopped by for a reading or just to pick up my card.
Contact me at jmbarnes31@gmail.com if you would like a tarot & oracle card reading.


Before we discuss the astrology of the coming week, let's check in how you feel after the new moon solar eclipse? Energized? Tired? Excited? Let me know in the comments. The energies of the eclipse last up to 6 months.

As we head into this week, Mercury just went retrograde at 4 degrees of Leo on July 7. I am already feeling its influence as I write this post. Mercury governs communication and the means of communication (technology).  When it goes retrograde, or moves backwards, communication slows down. Technology like phones, laptops, and other electronic devices can go haywire. It is not a good time to sign contracts either because details in contracts may be inaccurate. Read the fine print carefully if you have to sign a lease or contract. Mercury's retrograde lasts until July 31.

In addition to the retrograde, we have several other aspects this week that will produce challenging energies for us. Some are in the areas of communication, but also internal emotional aspects. Being informed and prepared for these energies may help you navigate or avoid the emotional triggers.

Monday, July 8, Mercury conjuncts (connects) with Mars and they each intensify the other's energy. Both planets are in Leo. Mars the fire planet in a fire sign. Mars likes action and moving things forward but he will be a bit frustrated with Mercury in retrograde. Mercury's element is air and governs thoughts, ideas, and expression of those thoughts. The positive aspect of this connection is that the mind may be active with new ideas or go into a creative or artistic phase.

On Tuesday, July 9, the Sun (in Cancer) opposes Saturn (in Capricorn). Saturn is the teacher or authority figure that wants to restrict our movement forward until we have thoroughly learned our lesson. The Sun (in Cancer) is warm vitality in the home and family sign of the Zodiac but this clash with Saturn is not comfortable. If you are drawn into an argument with another person, especially a person of authority, or a difficult situation arises at home or work, then your challenge is to see the argument from the other person's perspective. This person or situation may be mirroring an aspect of you that needs to be healed. Pay attention and don't get drawn into the drama.  This aspect and energy will last until July 15.

Thankfully at mid-week, we have a positive aspect on July 10, when the Sun trines Neptune. Look for opportunities to practice your intuitive skills, use your imagination, or work on your artistic potential, go for it!

Thursday, July 11 Mars (Leo) and Uranus (Taurus) are in a Square. When planets fall into a square aspect in the zodiac, it means that they are challenging each other and producing an obstacle in an area of your zodiac chart that needs to be addressed. Square's make this uncomfortable for us so that we take an action to change the situation. Mars the planet of bold action, assertiveness, power, sex, and Uranus is the planet that rules unexpected change and the inner power of our purpose in life. Both are fire planets and both are power planets. 

So when these two planets square off, there will be intense energies triggering feelings of freedom. Freedom will clash with obligation and may cause impatience,tension, and bring out  a combative nature in people. Something unexpected may happen under the influence of Uranus. Under this aspect it is good to stay grounded, breath and meditate. This aspect will have influence on a global level. Watch the news to see what happens.

On Sunday, July 14  Sun (in Cancer) now opposes Pluto (in Capricorn). Pluto rules transformation and this aspect signals a need to look at ourselves differently. How do others see me? Am I presenting myself in the best light? Am I letting my light shine? This opposition may make us review our own character, but it can also shine a light on selfishness and antisocial behavior.

This is a heavy week. I will repeat practice good self care by staying grounded, breath, and meditate. Be careful with your communication this week. Don't send the angry text message. Try to surround yourself with healing energy and send that to others.

Hang in there!

Astrology for the week of May 27 - June 2, 2019

If I was writing your horoscope for this week it would say:

Be careful of what you say in conversation or what you share/retweet in social media this week. Be present in all conversations and actively listen. Sharing incorrect information could go viral in a very bad way. Use your best judgement. There is also great potential to connect with someone on a karmic or soul level. Be social, but not gossipy. 

The reason for the alert in the above "horoscope" is that on May 29,  Mercury, who is now in Gemini squares (opposes) Neptune, Mercury also squares Jupiter, making a T-square in which Jupiter and Neptune have already been and remain in opposition. 

So this means Mercury, the planet of communication is in conflict with Neptune, the planet of mystery and illusion and both are in conflict with Jupiter, the planet of expansion, optimism, and joy. The information you read and hear may be unclear or inaccurate under Neptune's influence, and Mercury wants to communicate accurately and clearly. That is going to be a challenge this week under these energies. In addition be careful what you say as the listener may misunderstand your message. Jupiter's influence on all of this is that he likes to expand whatever he touches and miscommunication and misunderstandings could get out of control.

I realize that no one can get through a day without communicating with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and clients, whether it is in person, on the phone or online. The best advice I can give is be present in all conversations, actively listen, verify facts before passing them along and don't give into gossip.

At the end of the week (May 31 & June 2), Venus trines (makes a positive connection) to Saturn and Pluto respectively. Venus, who is in her home sign of Taurus, will help ground the energies of the week in reality. Venus rules relationships and money. Under the influence of Saturn the planet of life lessons/Karma, and Pluto, the planet of transformation, an opportunity at the end of the week to manifest a positive (and possibly karmic) financial situation or new relationship may materialize. This could come from a random conversation! 

While it may be tempting to retreat from the world completely because of the Mercury-Neptune-Jupiter energies, don't! Conversations at the end of the week may lead to a relationship or financial opportunity with lasting impact. 

Wishing you a wonderful week of discernment!
