2011/12 WINTER NEWSLETTER

Dear Consciousness Seekers,

In all my years as a professional astrologer, there has not been a time of such unusual and strange Planetary Cycles. Whether it is a Solar Eclipse happening 2 months in a row, or Mars spending 8 months in the Sign of Virgo, or the powerful Planetary relationship between Pluto and Uranus on world Astrological hot points. These Cycles all have an important impact on each of us. The lessons the world and many individuals are getting is relentless. At times of great change the forces build, conflicts and polarization abound. Out of chaos comes the new. Much is changing and much, much more needs to be changed. The World is not ending in 2012. It is a process of greater upheaval on all levels including economic, weather and Earth.

To transform the world we each need to transform ourselves, to become self aware and stop projecting our own issues on to others. Pluto in Capricorn since it entered in 2008 has been bringing out the dark and hidden matters around money, financial institutions, taxes, corporate greed, political corruption, etc. These issues will intensify even more in the next couple of years as Uranus the great breaker upper and Planet of change which is now in the Sign of Aries will be in dynamic tension with Pluto. Uranus in Aries brings revolution which we have been witnessing in other countries since it entered Aries. A time of revolt everywhere including the USA. The desire for change is great, collectively and personally.

We each need all the protection and support possible. You can’t stop the Cycles, but you can be more proactive in doing the things, including Birthday trips and getting Astrological consulting to enhance your Life. Anyone who is either a Pisces, Aries, Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn or has major Planets in these Signs (a majority of the population) have important dramatic change coming and how it plays out is based primarily on your Birthday Solar Return Chart. A Birthday Trip is like a strong foundation on a house, when a storm comes you have a better chance of making it through the storm and a storm is coming to us all. You can have a good Birthday Chart naturally for years and then have a disastrous one. Not a time to leave it to chance!

THE ULTIMATE TRIP

The Birthday Solar Return Trip

QUESTION: How can being in a particular town for a few days on my next Birthday change what is going to happen in my life for the year? It’s called a Solar Return. Just what is it?

The Solar Return Chart reveals what a person is going to deal with externally for a year, starting with their Birthday.

The greater significance is that by altering one’s Solar Return, a person can alter what is going to happen in their life for the year.

Let’s look at the technique of Solar Returns and the implications of such a powerful tool. First of all, each year at the time of your Birthday, the Sun returns to the exact degree of where it was when you were born. This is called a Solar Return (the Sun’s return). When the Sun returns to the precise point of your Sun’s position at birth, a chart is drawn up for the exact time of the return. This chart reflects what you will experience from one Birthday to the next. It covers one year’s time frame.

How does this differ from the Natal Chart? The Natal Chart (the chart at birth) shows your overall destiny, the patterns you’ve come in to work on, essentially the intentions of your Soul and the external arena in which you will experience them.

The Solar Return Chart reveals the timing when certain events are going to occur. Both charts are equally important, symbolizing the two wheels in a clock whose motion measures time. It is this interplay of these two charts that augment one’s purpose and direction in life.

How can you use a Solar Return to alter your coming cycle of events?

Let’s look at the technical aspect of a Solar Return. A Solar Return is calculated for the day, month, time and town (latitude and longitude) of the Solar Return. The TOWN of the Solar Return is where you are physically at the exact time of the Solar Return. The Solar Return Chart is drawn up the same way as your Natal (birth chart) is drawn up. Remember, the Natal Chart is calculated for the day, month, time, and town of your birth. The Solar Return truly is a rebirth, a renewing of your energy, purpose and direction.

Now, if you change where you are for a few days, the town (latitude and longitude) at your next Birthday, you actually alter your Solar Return Chart for the year and consequently what is going to occur in your life.

How does this happen? A chart is a circle divided into twelve equal sections called houses. Each section/house represents a different area of life. For example, the 10th house represents career; the 2nd house represents personal finances, and so on. The planets are situated in these different houses in your Solar Return Chart, showing what is going to occur. By traveling to a very specific town for your Birthday, you alter what houses the planets will be situated in, thus changing what areas of your life will be triggered.

Amazing! There is a catch, however. Although you can change what areas of your life will be triggered, you can’t change the Planets you have to work with. What this means is that on your Birthday the particular Planetary set up and the planets’ relationship to each other, which signs they are in and the aspects they make cannot be altered. In other words, the actual energies you’ll be dealing with can’t be changed; but where those energies operate can be changed.

It’s like having a given set of furniture and having the choice of what room to put it in. Also, if you move one piece all the pieces move. What this means is that shifting one planet, shifts them all because you cannot move a planet independently of the others. Sort of like turning a dial and looking at the different settings. Consequently, because of the planets you have to work with, you cannot just get anything you desire. Some years you can create some incredible changes and have greater options, whereas other Birthdays you are limited in what you can do because of the Planets you have to work with on that particular Birthday.

For example, some people think they can have fame and fortune by altering their Solar Return. This can occur only if the individual has the Planetary set up to do it with and it is part of their Destiny. Ultimately, the changes that occur with shifting one’s Solar Return are really part of what the individual was meant to experience all along.

How does one go about changing their Solar Return? First you must reflect on what you would like to augment in your life for the coming year and focus on. Solar Returns can augment career opportunities, facilitate bringing a love relationship into one’s life, accelerate personal transformations, etc. Next, a chart is drawn up for the Solar Return on your upcoming Birthday for the town in which you live. (This can be done months in advance of your Birthday.) This shows the Planetary patterns you have to work with. Following that, a different chart is drawn up with these Planetary patterns placing them in the areas that are more in tune with what you choose. Sometimes this works out so you get the areas of your choice, other times you simply go with the best Planetary shift possible, given the Planetary positions you have. Ultimately, a chart is designed for you that reflects the most harmonious way to deal with the Planetary energies for the year. For example, if you have Uranus conjunct the Sun, you are going to have that regardless of what Solar Return Chart is set up for you, but the KEY IS YOU CHOOSE WHERE TO EXPERIENCE THE ENERGY AND HOW IT PLAYS OUT.

Changing a Solar Return does not mean that you won’t have any problems and difficulties. It means you are choosing the area of your problems and difficulties as well as the areas of ease and expansion. You are becoming a conscious co-creator instead of a victim of life.

After the new Solar Return Chart is designed for you, then I have to calculate what town you have to go to get the right latitude and longitude to bring the new Solar Return Chart into creation.

For those of you that will actively utilize this technique and go on a Solar Return Birthday Trip, it is necessary to be in the town of your Solar Return at least 24 hours before the time of the exact return. A lot of people have experienced energy changes and unusual experiences before the exact time of the Solar Return. So we are looking at a three-day experience as the prerequisite of your Solar Return Birthday Trip.

At the exact time of the Solar Return it is ideal to meditate and open to the energies you have set into motion. Though it is not necessary to meditate, it is a heightening experience to be in touch with your own renewal process and your place in the universe as reflected by the Sun’s return to your portion of God. It is the Sun in your chart that symbolizes the manifestation of your portion of God/Spirit into matter, and its return is a rebirth. Everyone, every year has a Solar Return, and every year everyone has a Solar Return Chart that, if they wish to take a look, will show where your Planetary energies will play out for the year, from one Birthday to the next Birthday. The difference is knowing about Solar Returns. The more conscious you become, the more you take responsibility for being a creator in your life and embracing your own growth patterns.

If this is a tool that you will utilize wisely, then it is vitally important that only a professional astrologer design your coming Solar Return Chart because of the powerful dynamics involved. Designing a Solar Return Chart requires a gifted Astrologer who deeply understands the dynamics of the different Planetary energies and how they manifest. For this reason one should not go to just anyone to get a Solar Return Chart designed.

Those of you who are not yet into altering your Solar Return can benefit a great deal in understanding the energies you have operating in your life for the year. This can be done by getting your current Solar Return Chart analyzed, and thus working more consciously with the energies and consequently taking responsibility for what is going on. The name of the game is called conscious growth.

Uranus and Pluto in a powerfully difficult pattern with one another beginning in 2012 will bring dramatic changes to the world and to each of you personally depending where it occurs in your Birthday Solar Return Chart. Knowing what areas of your Life this pattern will trigger can make all the difference in dealing with it. Also knowing in advance whether you might need a Birthday trip to support how it plays out is extremely helpful!

I am taking on new clients to assist as many as possible and consequently I have less time to write Newsletters and put information on my web site. My priority has always been working with individuals. As my schedule runs many months in advance and unless it is an emergency, there is a wait. I don’t appreciate someone who has known about my work for sometime and decides just before their Birthday, or in crisis they need my help and I should accommodate them. I won’t as it is not fair to my other clients who patiently wait for their appointment. My Life Evolution Astrological Analysis is the prerequisite for all my other Services including Birthday Solar Return Charts. This needs to be done first as I won’t start shifting someone’s energies unless I totally understand their issues and Destiny.

Once an individual is a client and has an emergency then I schedule them right away.

Besides astrological tools, just taking greater responsibility for one’s physical well being is essential now more than ever. Daily doing something that relaxes you. Appreciating the gift of Life and being present in each moment provides the true richness of Life. Living Life as if it were Sacred because it is Sacred.

These next few months November and December 2011 into the first part of January 2012 are extremely volatile with Uranus sitting at the 0 degrees Aries equinox point in conflict with the Solstice points. Whenever Planetary Cycles impact the Solstice and or Equinox points, major things occur in the World and in the Earth. In addition with the Wobble happening from November 10^th until Christmas day, along with a Mercury Retrograde occurring from late night of November 23^rd (11:21pm PST) to December 13^th(5:43pm PST) it only adds fuel to a dangerous time. With Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius, extremists will be much more aggressive.

The more you are aware not only of your surroundings and others, but also the Astrological Cycles and Wobbles, the more you can plan accordingly and work with the energies, instead of against them.

The 2012 Wobbles and Planetary Cycles information is all on my 2CD Set and will be ready for shipping in December in time for Christmas. I spend so much time researching, analyzing the Cycles and calculating the Wobbles, I hope those of you who have not tried them will.

The 2 CD SET is divided into sections by month so you can easily re-listen to a particular month. It also comes with a printed Moon Void of Course sheet for all of 2012. Order form is enclosed and also on my web site: http://www.signeastrology.com/wobbles_cycles.htm

Have A Lovely Holiday Season and a Wonderful Beneficial 2012

With Love and Truth,

Signe

P.S. Starting in January I will no longer be posting on my web site the dates of a Wobble, as it has come to my attention that some of you are only paying attention to the Wobbles and are totally unaware of the other critical Planetary Cycles. Also please note this Newsletter is only mailed to those who order the Yearly CD Set. The Newsletter is free on the web site.
