| Dear Stargazers,
Many of you have emailed because I haven't released a podcast or been as active as usual on social media. I very much appreciate your checking in on me and want to say that for the most part it's simply that I had to make time in my life for certain priorities.
As for Shortcut to the Soul, I expect to release a podcast before the end of the month, but for now, let's take a peek at what the heavens have in store for us during the coming weeks! |

FULL MOON at 20°00' LEO February 9, 2020 |2:33 AM Washington, DC
Thanks to a flowing trine from Mars, this month's full moon in Leo is infused with passion, confidence and a sense of adventure. Although Moon-Mars energy can be egotistical, impulsive and angry, that's not the case here as the trine between them promotes self-assurance and inspired action.
Since full moons frequently brings things to light and/or coincide with decisions, the energy of this one suggests that some of you will come to the conclusion that you're ready to pursue your heart's desire. As for the rest of you, many will realize that it's time to introduce more happiness, laughter and just plain fun into your lives.
If that's the case, don't allow the moon's quincunx to Saturn and Pluto to deter you or derail your plans. Although a minor aspect, these quincunxes can bring a little rain to your parade in the form of anxiety or feelings of self-doubt. If you have any apprehensions, you'd do well to examine them through an objective lens to determine if your concerns are legitimate. That being said, it's far more likely to be a simple case of stage fright.
For those of you who have decided that it's time to take a giant step forward in the direction of your dream, take advantage of the upcoming Mercury retrograde to look within, investigate your options and conduct whatever other type of due diligence you need to do before taking action. |
| | | Getting Personal
If you don't know which house holds 20°00' of Leo in your horoscope, you can refer to the list below to find out where the full moon falls in your solar chart. Since a full moon involves the sun and the moon, be sure to consider the life areas ruled by the opposite house as well.
If your Sun sign is:
Aries, it falls in your 5th house (romance, children, creative self-expression, entertainment). Read the 11th house as well.
Taurus, it falls in your 4th house (home, family, real estate, parents). Read the 10th house as well.
Gemini, it falls in your solar 3rd house (siblings, neighbors, short trips, cars, contracts, negotiations.). Read the 9th house as well.
Cancer, it falls in your 2nd house (income, spending, personal values, self-esteem, tangible assets). Read the 8th house as well.
Leo, it falls in your 1st house (your physical body, attitude towards life). Read the 7th house as well.
Virgo, it falls in your 12th house (spirituality, creativity, mental health, addictions). Read the 6th house as well.
Libra, it falls in your solar 11th house of goals, casual friends, colleagues and group relationships.
Scorpio, it falls in your 10th house (career, fame, status, reputation). Read the 4th house as well.
Sagittarius, it falls in your 9th house (education, law, religion, foreign and long-distance travel, publishing). Read the 3rd house as well.
Capricorn, it falls in your 8th house (intimacy, shared resources, other people's support, birth, death, estate matters). Read the 2nd house as well.
Aquarius, it falls in your 7th house (marriage and all one-to-one relationships including best friends, adversaries, business partners and clients). Read the 1st house as well.
Pisces, it falls in your 6th house (health, work, pets, diet, nutrition). Read the 12th house as well.

| | Releasing with the Leo Full Moon
You can release anything under any full moon, but since this one is saturated in Leo energy, it's especially helpful for releasing:
Negative beliefs or fears related to romantic relationships, social gatherings, creative talents and expression, pregnancy and children, athletic ability and fun in general. It's also helpful for releasing a romantic relationship that no longer fulfills you.
Traits or tendencies such as conceit, vanity, egotism, belligerence, extravagance and arrogance.

| | TRANSITING MERCURY IN PISCES
Feb. 3 - 15 (Direct in Pisces) Feb. 16 - Mar. 3 (Retrograde in Pisces) Mar. 4 - 8 Mercury is Rx in Aquarius Mar. 9 Mercury goes direct in Aquarius March 16 - April 11 (Direct in Pisces)
After attending one too many Mensa meetings while in the brilliant sign of Aquarius, Mercury began to experience an intellectual overload. Knowing that his attention span could not possibly last another moment longer, and fearing that his brain would explode if it did, Mercury bolted out of Aquarius and into the gentle, artistic and spiritual sign of Pisces.
Ruled by Neptune, Pisces is known for its imagination, intuition and escapism. Consequently, as Mercury floats along in the Pisces ocean, his creative abilities blossom, his intuition comes into sharp focus and he loves to daydream.
As a result, we may be inspired on a creative level, feel motivated to pursue a spiritual path or find ourselves lost in thought as we dream about a wonderful new future. As appealing as this sounds, we do well to remember that while Pisces is a noble, idealistic and gentle sign, there is a duality to the sign that's clearly defined by its astrological glyph: Two fish swimming in opposite directions: one descending to its mysterious depths; the other ascending to its surface.
Whereas its higher nature rules artists, healers and the ideal, the shadow side of Pisces presides over the addicted, the afflicted and the restricted. Pisces rules all that is hidden, nebulous and ambiguous and when expressing itself negatively, it's the master of illusion, confusion and deception. Although it's true that we need to first envision our reality before we can achieve it, it's imperative that we remain grounded or we risk falling prey to unproductive thoughts, unrealistic fantasies and unsavory relationships.
As the natural ruler of the 12th house, Pisces is a mystical sign that rules psychics, mediums, past lives, soul mates and karmic lessons. Mercury represents the intellect, and by virtue of its rulership over the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and hands, it presides over the five senses. Consequently, while in Pisces, Mercury's energy is highly attuned and well-equipped to communicate through the veil.
Likewise, under this influence many of us will find it easier to recognize messages from their loved ones, especially those of a Neptunian nature such as dreams and fragrances. It is also a highly supportive energy for developing our intuitive gifts, communicating with our guides, angels and departed loved ones and delving into past lives.
Finally, since Mercury rules the conscious mind and physical health and Pisces presides over the subconscious mind and emotional health, this energy is excellent for re-examining one's overall health. By doing the inner work while in Pisces, Mercury is assured that he will be ready to move forward on his path when he enters the dynamic sign of Aries.
And as long as we follow his lead, so will we. |
| | TRANSITING VENUS IN ARIES February 7 - March 4, 2020
After basking in Pisces, the sign of her exaltation, for the past few weeks it was time for Venus to stop resting on her laurels and start blazing a new trail. In other words, it was time to enter Aries.
As the planetary ruler of the seventh house of marriage and partnerships, Venus presides over committed relationships Since the Aries nature is a bold, passionate and forthright one... >>Read More. |

TRANSITING MARS IN CAPRICORN February 16 - March 30, 2020
Confident that he learned everything he needed to know while he was in Sagittarius, Mars packed up camp and sauntered into Capricorn, where he’ll devote the next six weeks to climbing up the ladder of success.
As the planetary pioneer of the zodiac, Mars is very much at home in this achievement-oriented sign because it’s the sign of his exaltation. In other words, Mars in Capricorn brings out the very best traits in the planet as well as the sign.
While Mars is immersed in Capricorn’s energy, he functions at the highest level because his entrepreneurial spirit, competitive nature and fearless temperament are enhanced by Capricorn practicality, patience, purpose and perseverance.
Under Saturn’s influence, Mars is pursuing a goal with foresight as well as passion, with consistency as well as vigor and with common sense as well as courage. Mars in Capricorn isn’t simply driven to win. In Capricorn, he also craves public recognition as an expert in his field.
And make no mistake: He’s playing for all the marbles.
During this time, many of you will feel more inspired and goal-oriented than usual, while those of you who tend to be overachievers may feel like you’re in overdrive.
Either way, just as Mars in Capricorn never settles for mediocrity, neither will you.

| | | CLOSING THOUGHTS
I know I've said this before but because a few of you have been disappointed that you had to wait longer than you would like for an appointment with me, I'm going to repeat it:
The wait for astrology readings is getting longer. If you have a particular time frame in mind, it's best to reach out a month beforehand. I'm already booking in March, but there are still appointments available in the latter part of February.
As always, thank you for your support and interest in my well being, and until next time,
May Jupiter's blessings be your constant companion,
Debra Anne Clement
