Ask Zoe: ‘Can you tell me more about the House System?’

Ask Zoe: ‘Can you tell me more about the House System?’

Reader question put to our in-house Astrologer Zoe Hind (Astro Zo)

Answer: As the Soul begins its journey through the houses, we are like a new-born in the First House. Full of energy and demanding attention, this is the place in the chart where we realise that we exist and shout it out to the world.

Whichever Zodiac signs fall entirely or partly in the first house will have a large influence on our self image and we can often act out these attributes without even realising it. We wear the colours and walk the walk of signs in house number one.

Full Moon – 8 March – 18 degrees Virgo

We begin to see an array of planets pairing up and forming a harmonious Grand Trine in the Earth signs which will take us through the Spring Equinox. The Moon and Mars take stock of what we have accomplished since last September.

Venus and Jupiter exude beauty and abundance. This is a wonderful night to connect to deep and simple joy and share your blessings with like-hearted others.

Venus into Taurus – 6 March-4 April

Sumptuous, beautiful, nourishing and sensual, Venus belongs in Taurus. This is a time to really enjoy life on the physical plane. We may be trying to make our way up the tree of life to Spirit, but there is much to be loved about the material world. Venus brings balance of opposites.

Mercury into Aries – 3 March

Mercury into Aries – 3 March

Mercury bursts into Aries like the strike of a match. However this intensity will be short lived as the planet of communication and speed turns retrograde on 12th.

Inflammatory comments can cause flare ups. Bright ideas ignite in our minds. Surprises will be the norm as Uranus is also involved.

Does Neptune’s return to Pisces have significance for 2012?

This homecoming is a vital part of the Galactic alignments that are forming the year 2012.

Neptune represents our higher self and connection to Source.

Neptune’s sigil is like a tuning fork and both Neptune and Pisces are deeply spiritual frequencies. Here we learn how to attune to a higher vibration.

New Moon – 21 February – 2 degrees Pisces

New Moon – 21 February – 2 degrees Pisces

The Sun and the Moon are together in Pisces. Nearby Neptune and Chiron add soul and sensitivity to this powerful alignment.

It is said that Whale song heals the planet with sonic frequencies. As we approach closer to the Galactic alignment of 2012 we too are being attuned and aligned to higher vibrations that are changing our bodies at cellular level.

This New Moon sings to our collective unconscious in evocative tones. If we are still and  receptive to deep healing over the next few weeks, we may begin to feel the Universal flow cleanse our energy bodies of density and debris built up over centuries.

Sun enters Pisces – Alchemy Astrology

The Sun passes from the Zodiac sign of Aquarius into Pisces on 20 February.

Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac. The symbol for which is two fish swimming in opposite directions.

One fish faces backwards, reviewing all that has happened in the past year (Zodiac cycle), applying the knowledge and learning the lessons. After full reflection and atonement, it is necessary to let go of anything that no longer serves us before we can step over the threshold into a new cycle.

Mercury into Pisces – Alchemy Astrology

More at home in the Air signs, Mercury in Pisces needs to make some adaptations in order to function efficiently. Sound and light are diffused in water, speed and gravity lessened. If we attune to the Piscean wavelength, we can see, hear and feel into the ocean of vibrations that connect us all.

Venus into Aries – 9 February

Venus into Aries – (9th February – 6th March)

Venus continues her tour of the Zodiac and this month meets Uranus in Aries. Quirky and unexpected, strange meetings and interesting encounters ensue. Possibly some odd fashion or shopping decisions too so consult a friend where possible.

Aquarius New Moon and Leo Full Moon – Guru Rattana

This Tuesday’s full Moon is in Leo with the Sun in Aquarius. It’s the sign of the artist, player and lover. Spontaneity is contagious, and this lunar culmination inspires everyone to express themselves freely. With the spirit of generosity in the air, each person’s uniqueness emerges, and is encouraged to shine.
