*Welcome to my 13 sign esoteric Astrology blog! I write about the hidden secret meanings of planetary alignments most western astrology perspectives cannot give you. Simply put, the western zodiac is not based on the actual movements in the sky! While the Sidereal zodiac is star based, even more so is the study of 13 signs, which includes the ever elusive constellation Serpentarius Ophiuchus. That’s if you want to be even more aligned to what’s actually happening in the Heavens! So if you’re following western dates, you’re just not aligning with the stars. The Greeks mainly used a man-made seasonal time, which is not based on constellations. I have dedicated a good portion of my life to uncovering and decoding the true star map and it’s messages in the Sky. And I just so happen to be born the 1st day of the 13th Sign, Seprentarius Ophiuchus!

The Full Blue Moon takes place on the 21st May 2016 at 22:16 GMT .

We have a Full Seasonal Blue Moon in Libra this month, the last one of this type took place in 2013. The Moon in Libra is highly sensitive, especially towards the attitudes and reactions of others, this moon hates vulgarity and expects those close to maintain a pleasing demeanour and good manners. The aspects to our Full Moon show that this is still a time of dominance and great sensitivity, where intimate relationships are mostly affected, self indulgent tendencies and self absorbed demands, will bring in extreme and intense emotional disarray.

TAURUS (born between: 14 May – 19 June)

Happy birthday Taurus, you have no problem with expressing yourself this month and the planets are giving you the energy and the willpower to do so. However, your expression is all about getting your point across and you do so with ease, without a thought or concern for what others think, or how it will affect them. Your principles are high and if you need to get verbally rough with a few people then so be it! You’re not really bothered if you come across as aggressive and self centered as your defense mechanism has kicked in and ‘woe betide’ anyone that tries to deflate your well needed strength. You are just holding your head above water as this month ends and June begins and you are finally running out of steam. Up until this point you have tried to stay reasonably cheerful and optimisitic, but are now feeling the weight of heavy responsibility, this causes you to lack confidence and cooperation as your energy slips into a low vitality. Emotional frustrations and finances may cause you problems, especially within your close relationships,

*Happy Super New Moon!

*Quick reminder, this is a 13 sign astrology article. We are not on western zodiac time over here. I’m doing this for those who want to know and follow the true zodiac. Real astrology includes the 13th sign. I could go into my many complaints and judgments about why western astrology is practically useless and confusing. Instead, lets just start decoding this super new moon!

The New Moon begins in Aries on the 6th May 2016 at 20:31 pm and the 6th house London.

The Aries Moon has a very passionate and volatile nature that can act without due consideration for the consequences of any given action. This is the child that stamps his feet and spits his dummy out when he doesn't get his own way! The Aries Moon is independent and emotionally dominating, often acting in ways with undue consideration for the consequences.

Happy Full Moon!

This is the 2nd full moon in the constellation of Virgo, one of the deepest areas of the sky! In real time 13 sign astrology, we know that Virgo spans 44.5 degrees long and starts on Sept 16th. True Virgo covers all of tropical Libra, the whole month of October til the End. Check your satellite apps today! You are in for a surprise! This is not a Scorpio full moon! I repeat, not a Scorpio full moon. Virgo and Scorpio do have that healing feminine magic in common, but they differ in method. Scorpio will want to get all emotional, and intense, while Virgo will be the one to stay calm and productive.

The Sun enters to the sign of Aries on Monday, April 18, where he will remain for approximately 26 days. Mercury is already in Aries. On April 29 Venus enters to Aries and Mercury starts its Retrograde course in the same Zodiac Sign. All three celestial bodies with contradictory meanings coexist in the limits of the Constellation bringing different emotions and views regarding the facts of life.

The Sun will remain in Aries until May 14, at 00:50 GMT.

Happy Super New Moon!

What an amazing time to be alive and witness one of our most profound transformations! I’m very excited to see more interest and openness to 13 sign astrology! With satellite apps and the internet, we really don’t have any excuse for blindly staying on the western zodiac. Times are changing rapidly and knowing correct star placements really makes all the difference.

The solar and lunar energy we have today is Pisces! A Super New Moon in Pisces! No it’s not in Aries, like mainstream astrology is saying. If you have a google sky map app you can verify this for yourself. The difference between Aries and Pisces is like night and day.

The New Moon begins in Pisces on the 7th April 2016 and in the 10th house – London

The Moon in Pisces is an extremely sensitive moon, but has the stamina to survive any situation that would floor most people. Pisces Moon suffers a great deal, not just in the suffering their own pain and injustices, but strongly feels others too. This moon has a multitude of gifts and talents unless it is negatively aspected or just plain lazy!

Our Cosmic sky will have five planets in retrograde by the end of the month and this will bring everything to a halt. Preparation for this event is vital otherwise we will end up running into a brick wall if we don’t slow down and ‘stop, look and listen’ to what the Universe is telling us. The story is important.

PISCES (born between: 12 March – 18 April)

Your intuition is high this month Pisces and you have a deep curiosity about the workings of the unconscious mind. This is a time of good karma which works well with your spirituality. You are manifesting a deep compassion and sympathy with all life and the Universe, but need to liberate yourself from the mental and emotional influences of the past. You also have an urge to establish a Universal Brotherhood (or Sisterhood) and reach out to humanity, but this urge within you needs forethought first with a realistic approach, as your emotions are high.

Happy Full Moon!

Today we have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse happening in the constellation of Virgo! Check for proper coordinates on a Google Sky Map. You can download the app for free, so you don’t have to question me, and sidereal time on what’s real, and where the moon really is, for one of the most important cosmic alignments of the year. LOL! Full Moon in Virgo. This is a time of immense emotional, mental, and physical healing. We are still in the all-encompassing sun sign of Pisces, so our spiritual truths are feeling alot like déjà vu right about now! Make sure to drink plenty of water and fresh pressed juices to keep the positive things moving in your life. Tune into how all things are connected.

The Full Moon begins reaches its peak, on the 23rd March 2016 at 12:01 pm and in the 4th house - London.

This Virgo Full Moon is a hardworking and practical Moon with a great regard for cleanliness and tidiness. The Moon in Virgo is particular about hygiene and is deeply concerned with health and diet. This would be a good time for us to start our spring cleaning both inwardly and outwardly, just as long as we don’t go over the top and become fastidious. Home improvements, garden work and a good health regime is a good way to make the most of this Full Moon, especially if we have been lacking in energy and assertiveness of late. Also on a broader scale this is a time where the health and food industries may come into the spotlight.

On March 12 at 00:20 GMT, a new Astrological year starts with the transition of the Sun in Pisces, which are now considered as the first sign of the zodiac circle after taking the place of the old Aries because of the precession of the equinoxes. That is due to our Earth's movement in relation to the sky globe. Because of this movement a new Zodiac sign with the name Ophiuchus came into the Sun's orbit in the sky. Thus the need arose for an Astrology of the 13 Signs of the Zodiac that accurately depicts the New Astrological reality. The old signs have moved backwards in date and all the data have been adjusted to the 13 Zodiac Signs.

*Happy New Moon!

And it’s also a Supermoon Solar Eclipse too!! Supermoons are new and full moon alignments that happen extremely close to the Earth. Because of this, their energetic effects will be the strongest of the year! New Moons are also known as Black Moons. Every new moon, the Sun and Moon are in the same space, conjunct. Therefore, no light is reflected until they start to move away from each other, and the crescent begins to grow. Solar Eclipses are new moons with tremendous power. This is a time of great spiritual renewal and transformation. During this time we will begin something new. New Moon Eclipses are major life changers. Especially a Super New Moon Eclipse! The Sun and Moon are BOTH in Aquarius today.

The New Moon begins in Aquarius on the 9th March and in the 3rd house - London.

The Moon in Aquarius is freedom loving and works at her best when she feels the freedom that she gives to others unconditionally. The Moon in Aquarius is normally very sociable and makes many friends quite easily in life and those friendships stand forever strong, as long as they don’t put any undue restrictions on her. Forever the humanitarian, the Moon in Aquarius is compassionate and views humanity as a whole, offering sympathy and understanding of their needs. In her negative mood this Moon will resort to stubbornness which will restrict her self-expression which puts a block on her evolutionary path.

The fascination that solar eclipses cause on humans is eternal.
In ancient Greece eclipses were considered unfortunate and could even cause the interruption of a battle. This happened in 585 BC when Thales of Miletus was the first to predict a solar eclipse, as recorded by Herodotus. The eclipse was the reason for the cessation of hostilities between the armies of Medeans and Lideans.
Today we do not accept the unfortunate nature of eclipses and we tend to accept them as Astronomical events beyond our powers.
In the astrological level eclipses occur on the nodes of the Moon and involve large inflow or outflow of energy to or from the subconscious. It is obvious that we, as human beings, can do nothing to control these flows that disrupt our lives over time, and not instantaneous.
