A basic factor in natal astrology is the pattern made between the planets.
Each planet represents a fundamental mode of activity, an organic function, psychological as well as biological.
The aspects between the planets describe the manner in which they interact, reinforcing or weakening each other, revealing a smooth type of cooperation between functional activities or indicating tensions.
The general distribution of the planets – whether they are clustered within a small section of the zodiac or spread out more evenly through the sky – tells us a great deal about the meaning and life of the individual person born at this time in this place. ~ Dane Rudhyar
Please keep in mind that transits to your natal planets can override these more universal ones. If you are experiencing challenging times and have questions about your path forward a personal consultation with Laurie will resonate deeply and offer practical support along the way.

VIRGO FULL MOON – MERCURY DIRECT – Monday, March 9, 2020
Today brings us a lovely detail-oriented Virgo Full Moon. Look for the illumination of what you began at the Pisces New Moon on February 23rd.
Consider also the wider cycle that began at the Virgo New Moon on August 30, 2019. Something that you have put great effort into in the past 6 months is paying off now.
Today’s Moon is in flowing aspect (trine) to the gathering of planets in Capricorn (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto).
The trine aspects suggest a reward for choices you have made in developing creativity and compassion for others.
Shortly before midnight (11:48 PM EDT) Mercury, having been retrograde since February 16th, stations direct.
Mercury turning direct is always cause for celebration. However, it is best not to rush forward into anything new. If possible, give Mercury a few days to get up to speed before taking on that new project or important conversation.
GRACE AND SOCIAL CHARM – Tuesday, March 10, 2020
Today you release the practicality of yesterday’s Virgo Moon in order to seek balance and harmony.
At 6:02 AM EDT, the Moon enters Libra, bringing your emotional focus to the creation of beauty, love and social connections. As an Air Sign Libra seeks charm from the intellect, not necessarily from the heart.
If you are a visual artist, go ahead and spend time alone focusing on your craft. Otherwise, this is a day to engage in social interactions.
Practice maintaining a steadfast level of internal calm as you create that same serenity in your social environment. Do not rock the boat unless you are clear that you can stabilize it for a higher purpose shortly afterward.

DEEPEN YOUR FOCUS – Thursday, March 12, 2020
By the time the day begins the Moon has entered the emotional depths of Scorpio. You have little option but to turn inward and deepen your focus. Find your depth and go within. Scorpio is a mysterious and penetrating sign.
While the Moon is in Scorpio it is important to respect your need for privacy and solitude. Remember that others have the same powerful need.
The connections you choose to make with others must be intense and significant. This is not a time for casual connections or lighthearted friendships.
At 12:14 PM EDT, the Moon opposes Uranus which puts you at odds with yourself. The importance of privacy and depth comes up against a need for expression and freedom. As you seek to connect with deep emotions you may find results that are surprising and unusual.

Plan ahead for this lovely simple day. With the moon in Sagittarius, you are in the mood for exploration, adventure, and gaining a new view of the world. You want to find a more expansive understanding of your experiences and your life.
You are likely to feel upbeat and enjoy socializing and people watching.
This is a great day for a road trip. Go ahead, get out of town. You may want to spend time in museums or exploring other cultural opportunities in your community.
This evening, sit down with a map and dream about where you would like to travel. Watch a travel documentary and buy tickets for your next big adventure.
* In these weekly reports, I explore the major aspects formed by transit between the planets. I do not consider every aspect that the Moon makes each day as they can be numerous and give rise to fleeting moods. I will consider the final major aspect formed by the Moon prior to its VOC* time, as that aspect holds its influence throughout the VOC*.
The aspects under consideration: conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions.
The planets I work with: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
