It's Astro-Logical -- practical advice for conscious living -- Issue #1

Mercury has met Venus in Pisces, and they both have formed a departing trine with Jupiter in Scorpio. These aspects connected at 23°.
bring new education and more ways to prosper.
Here's what this looks like to an astrologer.
During the next few weeks, diplomacy, cooperation and the creative use of assets will produce new investment opportunities -- new places to put your time, talents and energy to work -- and bountiful new ideas, helpful information and great learning experiences.
It's time to brainstorm with partners on the best way to use your resources and skills to get what you want to have ... and arrive where you want to go!
Pisces and Scorpio are both water signs.

Mercury represents your conscious mind, your intellectual perspectives, your ability to generate ideas and work with information. This energy takes in data from your physical senses ... and helps you understand and make sense of the world.
Venus represents your values, your style of forming and managing relationships and the way you deal with $$$.
Jupiter is the symbol for growth, expansion, higher learning, abundance and generosity.

In Pisces, Mercury energy is extraordinarily intuitive. It connects to deep feelings and can merge left and right brain functions in ways that are analytical and psychic all at the same time. Thoughts and feelings are virtually inseparable ... and your best information comes by listening to your own inner wisdom.
In Pisces, Venus energy is deeply spiritual, tolerant, kind and forgiving. Venus in Pisces desperately wants to make the world a better place. It seeks to heal injury, offer forgiveness and model unconditional love in ways others can learn from and follow.
In Scorpio, Jupiter energy is concerned with growth through reinvestment, combining your assets with those of others and building something with teamwork that none of the partners could manage alone. It shows you how to reclaim lost capital (time, money and effort) by eliminating projects, relationships, ideas, responsibilities and agreements that no longer serve your interests ... so something better can fill the space.

As with all energy exchanges, the transfer ... the action and reaction ... flows in two directions. With Scorpio / Pisces trines one possible sequence shows a serious rearrangement of your communal investments -- the projects and financial bonds you share with other people ... followed by a period of thought and reflection as you devise new ways to move forward, new targets to aim for and new ventures to launch now that you have the chance to start again ... or make substantial course corrections.
When the energy flows in the other direction, a time of creative brainstorming -- possibly following an incident of injury, recovery, solitude or setbacks -- shows you new ways to put your resources, talents and energy to work ... producing better results and certainly better profits!
These energy flows can seem circular, so that it's hard to tell which event put what in motion, or which is definitely an action and which is a consequence. It all merges into one swirling episode of change and adjustment.
Suffice it to say that you'll soon meet (or already have met) a time when you'll rearrange your focus and create new pathways to explore. This alteration involves teamwork, joint ventures and communal projects -- as you take a deep breath and start fresh toward more satisfying destinations.

Mercury / Jupiter trines usher in a time of mind-expansion, pure and simple. Life conspires in all directions to bring you big ideas and perk up your ambitions, sometimes to the point of overload. You want to do it all ... and can wind up with far more on your schedule than you can possibly -- or realistically -- handle, so do use a little discretion before you say "yes" to everything in sight.
Mercury / Venus conjunctions add an extra helping of grace and style to the way you share your ideas. Your perspective is accommodating. Your ideas have a special flare. This blend supports an interest in art, beauty, diplomacy and gracious living. It also perks up your own artistic and creative urges ... and invites you to do something awesome with your time and talents.
Venus / Jupiter trines bring a pleasant, sociable atmosphere. Help is available if you need it -- and you're open to requests to help others. Money may be less of an issue for a while -- or you may be able to have things you want and need without having to spend a lot for them. You may simply feel more confident and optimistic about finances ... and that alone can help your overall outlook.

- Ideas on how to change or improve your personal appearance or make adjustments that give a better presentation
- Lots of artistic inspiration and interest in the creative work of others -- also possible collaborations
- A more poetic, graceful way of writing ... or expressing yourself in ways that encourage acceptance, cooperation, and have popular appeal
- A more interesting social life. Cooperative, congenial, lucrative alliances.
- More help and support from partners ... and more help and support to them from you.
- A positive, confident attitude toward money ... and your ability to have enough and manage it well.

The energy of Mercury / Venus trine Jupiter widens your intellectual horizons and helps you think from several points of view. This energy provides an overview of your life, your prospects, your ambitions and your objectives.
You can get helpful advice from others and see how working together can accomplish mutual goals ... and reap mutual profits. Your attitudes support the well-being and prosperity of others as strongly as they do your own ... and in this remarkable time of exploring mutual interests and working in concert, amazing things are possible.

Mercury moves into Aries late, late tonight and Venus moves into Aries late tomorrow afternoon. This shift of signs brings a totally new energy and emotional climate to the business of everyday life along with a more intense and energetic outlook.
Jupiter turns retrograde in Scorpio late Thursday night. This begins a time of retrenching in order to expand again ... in about 4 months, on a bigger scale with more potential. A new growth period is gearing up ... and whatever goodness you see before you now is only the beginning.
If you've always known there was more to Astrology than Sun Sign material and the three line daily horoscope in the newspaper, climb aboard and follow this blog. You'll find a world of wisdom detailing how you were designed to work with life ... and why you are the way you are -- all in quick-to-read, easy-to-digest-and-remember, written-in-plain-English essays that offer plenty of food for thought.
Little by little, I'm doing a set of articles that talks about all the elements in your horoscope and what they have to say about you. If you "know something" about Astrology -- or know something about your chart placements, that will help you get more from this material.
If you don't ... well, this is one place you can learn. We all have to start somewhere ... because we aren't born knowing this stuff. Meanwhile, if you've never seen your horoscope ... and don't have a clue how to work with it, maybe it's time to find out. There are lots of "chart services" on the internet -- some of whom produce decent, readable charts "for free" and some are so awful and confusing that even I can't read them easily -- and I've worked with charts for decades.
One extremely user-friendly chart site is here: AstroLabe. I recommend them if you want a simple, easy-to-read chart. I think they even give a reasonable little interpretive reading of your horoscope as part of the package. You'll need to know your birth information -- day, month, year, time and geographical place. Without all that your chart will have limited accuracy.
Or, if you want to get serious and really talk about this, upvote this post and start a conversation in the comments section sometime in the next six days from the time of publication. We'll go from there depending on what you want to know.
Questions about any of this? -- Upvote this post and talk to me in comments. It's a terrific way to build value for yourself and the community ... and it will give me ideas of what to write about in future posts. Believe me there is lots to say about the way The Sun, The Moon -- and all the other elements in a horoscope, all the other components of Astrology -- work together to interpret you and your story -- and what it all means to the person you've become.
Although sometimes the background pictures in our visual essays support the topic and text, they don't always. Sometimes the connection is clear. Sometimes it's symbolic and subtle. Sometimes, there's no connection at all.
The scenes depict landscapes and natural features, buildings and wildlife. They were chosen because they show something lovely or interesting ... or simply because the photo appealed to me.
Our spectacular and remarkable planet is changing at astonishing speed. Rarely are these changes for the better. Few people seem to know ... or care ... or have the will and power to do anything about this. It may not be long before the world humans have known and lived in for centuries is forever lost. We certainly won't be able to make repairs as fast as we destroyed it.
So a few years ago I began collecting pictures of the way things were ... and still are for now, a record of the beauty we have while it is still ours to love and honor.
The photos here are part of that collection, with sincere thanks to the artists who saw these moments ... and with their cameras ... preserved them. All of us at Enchanted Spirit are profoundly grateful to them for their generosity and skill ... and for the added grace, depth and dimension their art brings to ours.

Hello @enchantedspirit, a pleasure to read you, I'm an astrologer and ontological coach, for 17 and 7 years respectively, I just joined the Steemit community, I agree with you to take advantage of astrology in making us more aware in our life, and in the present .
For this reason I want to invite you to remember when Jupiter transited Scorpio 12 years ago, between October 2005 and October 2006, even for those who are older, can go back and remember between October 1993 and 1994. What to remember? The most important events in those periods of life: work, family, travel, children, relationships, ...
For what? The planets are cyclic, they perform their orbital movement around the Sun at defined times, in the case of Jupiter every 12 years, it takes approximately one year for each sign of the zodiac, it is important to recognize the cycles that we have previously experienced and their symbology for each one of us. At the present time we are again in this transit, although we are not the same, it allows us to live more consciously and make the most of the learning and challenges that come our way.
Happy to share, I leave here the link of my last post, where I comment on the effects of eclipses, I invite you to go and read my blog @miradastral and leave your comments

Hola @enchantedspirit, un gusto poder leerte, soy astrologa y coach ontológica, desde hace 17 y 7 años respectivamente, recién me sumo a la comunidad Steemit, coincido contigo en aprovechar la astrología en hacernos más consientes en nuestra vida diaria, y en el presente.
Por ello quiero invitarles a recordar cuando Júpiter transitó Escorpio hace 12 años, entre octubre 2005 y octubre 2006, incluso para quienes tienen más edad, pueden ir más atrás y recordar entre octubre de 1993 y 1994. Qué recordar? Los acontecimientos de mayor importancia en esos periodos de vida: trabajo, familia, viajes, hijos, relaciones,…
Para qué? Los planetas son cíclicos, realizan su movimiento orbital alrededor del Sol en tiempos definidos, en el caso de Júpiter es cada 12 años, demora un año aproximadamente en cada signo del zodiaco, es importante reconocer los ciclos que hemos experimentado anteriormente y su simbología para cada uno de nosotros. En el momento actual estamos nuevamente en éste tránsito, aunque no somos los mismos, nos permite vivir de forma más consciente y aprovechar al máximo los aprendizajes y desafíos que se nos presenten.
Feliz de compartir, les dejo por acá el link de mi último post, donde les comento sobre los efectos de los eclipses, les invito a pasar y leer en mi blog @miradastral y que dejen sus comentarios

Hi ! I am glad I followed you and saw another fellow Steemian on the same wavelength with regards to astrology. I love the advice or guide you have given to navigate the energies that are coming up this week and I look forward to more. I am personally even thinking about doing tarot readings and share more about astrology etc, so it's good to see someone doing it too! Peace and blessings, sister. 🕊💙

Yes, it is a time of rearaging for me, as spring approaches we shake off the winter blues and slow ways of living and burst forth. In Pisces I daydream of springtime and all of the plans, and in Aries we start to initiate those plans. I am damn stoked for this Aries energy, I am sick of swimming in circles and of emotional confusion. I have my mars in pisces, and I really do not like being there with venus and mercury right now. I have an aries moon and I feel like I will be jolted awake by radical action any time now, and thank god! Lets just get up and go fffs!
Honestly, however, I just cant wait for more air! I am sick of all this water and fire and earth a little bit and the forward motion of all the planets, I want air and retrogrades to keep me in check and give me a breather.
Thank you for your astrological interpretations~! I do enjoy them a lot!
Ooh, I'm liking the forecast these two weeks. It is shaping up to be fairly interesting in terms of cooperative ventures. I'll take this as a sign I'm moving in the right direction.
Still, in the baby steps of understanding and taking on these writings, I found this post to be very empowering for my own mentality.
Although I've gained a lot from the words in the post, I'm still skeptical and I have so many questions considering the factual evidence backing up some of the writing. I'm interested in the topic but there are just too many things that don't seem right to me.
With the development of the new BuddyUP community, I'd love for these claims above to be true. It would give me great momentum. My only thought is that it's an exercise of the mind and you form beliefs based on the astrology from writings of others. It's not a shot at you, just where my heads at right now with the topic.
I'd be grateful if you could shed some light on this topic for me, where do the orginal writings and claims about what the stars mean, come from?
Whenever I want to find out what's going on, I can just come here :)
I have experienced all 6 things you have written (about what to expect) and have noticed that merging of my left and right part of the brain. Thanks for making this easier to understand 💚
oh my, I know next to nothing of astrology, @enchantedspirit, so this was such a pleasant and enlightening read.
As a poet, this sounds like the perfect time to pursue my craft, a sort of renaissance of energies provided by the universe, I'm so excited to see what comes of it.
Thank you so much for sharing this and presenting it in such a way that newbies such as myself can learn easily from someone much more experienced than ourselves.
