ASTROLOGY PHILIPPINES

 by Luanne Manlapaz Photo by Andrés Gómez on Unsplash In general Astrology, so much emphasis has been given to the Sun. Almost everyone in contemporary society has been introduced to Astrology by way of the Sun signs.  For decades upon decades, Sun sign Astrology has taken over in the mainstream with very little regard for the abundant, complex layers of Astrology as a whole.  Yes, our Sun signs hold a wealth of substantial information about how we live or lives. However, too much focus on it has robbed most of us of the opportunity to know our most intimate selves, the part of us that can only be found within the lush realms of the Astrological Moon.  Emotions   Astrologically, the Moon represents receptive, feminine energy, the nurturing energy of the mother. This contrasts with the masculine Sun, representing our main personality, vitality, and identity.  The Moon rules over the emotional expansiveness within each and everyone of us. It is our innate, i...

By Frederick Mallari Francisco Moreno Domagoso, known professionally as Isko Moreno and more fondly known as Yorme Isko, was born on Oct 24,1974 in Tondo, Manila.    The rags-to-riches story of Domagoso is like a fairy tale story. He was a former scavenger and pedicab driver from the slums of Tondo. Domagoso defeated former Manila Mayors - Former President Joseph Estrada and Alfredo Lim - with a landslide victory of 357,925 votes - more than the numbers of Estrada and Lim combined. Sun in Scorpio Scorpio is the sign of extremes. With Domagoso's natal Sun in Scorpio, he tends to be an extremist in everything that he does; he tends to be an all or nothing type of person. He is very passionate in every cause he believes in, and there is a strong need to be emotionally involved in these causes in order for him to feel fulfilled. Because his actions are passionately and emotionally charged, he can be ruthless in promoting these causes. This ruthlessness mak...

By Luanne Manlapaz Pasig City’s beloved mayor Vico Sotto.From Wikipedia . Truly, it is through times of strife when heroes shine. The current COVID-19 pandemic has separated the wheat from the chaff, politician-wise, and Victor María Regis Nubia Sotto, ‘Vico’, as his country now knows him, is living up to his name.  He is one of the very few who has indeed stood out as a victorious (victor) leader (regis). At 29, he is currently the youngest elected mayor in the metro. His success in the 2019 elections ended the powerful 27-year political dynasty of the Eusebios, in a David-versus-Goliath kind of showdown that was highly sensationalized by the local media.  With minimal political experience prior (he was a first-term city councilor), his contemporaries easily dismissed him as “out of his league.” As proven by recent events, his inexperience most definitely did not equate to incompetence.  One can say that his future in front of an audience is almost f...

Written by Carlota Elauria This forecast is for your Ascendant sign, which can be computed at Filipinoastrologer.com Opportunities Jupiter and Saturn transiting your 11th House for most of the year should stabilize your workload and stress. They can also bring new friendships into your life but also issues with existing ones. Exploring your networks and your opportunities on the internet could provide positive results. The Solar Eclipse of Dec. 26, 2019 and  June 21 this year both aspect you favorably, so you are set to have a relatively peaceful year. The Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius in your 12th House may cause you years of isolation or withdrawal, but also immense potential for creativity and spiritual growth. Challenges The second half of the year may bring rough seas for your ship due to Neptune, your modern ruler, retrograding from June 23 to Nov. 29. Thankfully, however, you close the year off with much-needed rest and relief. Sa...

Written Carlota Elauria This forecast is for your Ascendant sign, which can be computed at Filipinoastrologer.com Opportunities You start off relatively strong as your modern ruling planet, Uranus, goes direct from Jan. 11 to Aug. 15, providing you freedom and opportunities for friendship and networking. The emphasis on Capricorn/Saturn energy at the beginning of the year should also give a push to your career, though subtle and hidden in the 12th House. Saturn and Jupiter transiting your 12th House for most of the year may give you escapist tendencies and moments of isolation, though you are likely to find this restful and spiritually rejuvenating. Watching movies and shows, reading books, listening to music, and appreciating art can help you nourish your soul. Saturn's short entry into your 1st House from March 22 to July 2 will give you the first dose of the real world but also a renewed personal strength. The Great Conjunction occurring on December 22 will be in yo...

Written by Carlota Elauria This forecast is for your Ascendant sign, which can be computed at Filipinoastrologer.com Opportunities This is a big year for you. A Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on Dec. 26, 2019 has set you off to a busy start of 2020 with regard to your career and life goals, working you up to peak professional progress and productivity towards May 2020 as Jupiter and Saturn go retrograde. You are in your top "game mode" as a professional for the first four months of the year, and unlikely to be bothered with issues regarding your home and personal life. Since Jupiter and Saturn both transit an angular house in your chart, a notable career change or milestone is possible in 2020. Challenges Saturn and Jupiter retrograde from May 2020 to Sept. 2020 should give you a relatively slow period regarding your career and life goals, particularly from July to Sept. You may have to prioritize personal matters during this period or suffer some delays or blows...

Written by Carlota Elauria This forecast is for your Ascendant sign, which can be computed at Filipinoastrologer.com Opportunities You will have everything you need for most of the year to accomplish your career goals, due to generous Jupiter transiting your 2nd House of resources. You will be relatively successful as Jupiter and Saturn likely make a trine with your Midheaven, but you may start feeling your personal success begin to reduce this year. Hang on until the end of the year when a Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius on Dec. 15 empowers you for a couple of months more. The Great Conjunction occurring in your 3rd House of Aquarius on Dec. 22 can spark a great beginning regarding your credentials, your business, your siblings, or your neighborhood, that will have long-term effects. Challenges This is going to be a challenging year for you, but you may stand to gain some stable career success. With the heavy emphasis on Saturnian energy for most of the year, you may be...

This forecast is for your Ascendant sign, which can be computed at Filipinoastrologer.com Opportunities The middle of the year, particularly from May to Sept., can help you catch a break from all the mentally-draining tasks you have to accomplish this year, as Saturn and Jupiter both go retrograde and a Solar Eclipse in Cancer takes over in June 21. You'll be able to take care of other matters you may have neglected, such as your health, your family, your home, and personal life. The Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter occurring in your 4th House of Aquarius on Dec. 22 will launch a significant change in your home and family that will last a long time. You may possibly begin a major foundational move in your career that has far-reaching effects. As the Solar Eclipses of Capricorn (Dec. 2019) and Cancer (June 21, 2020) are both harmonious with your sign, you are unlikely to experience stressful changes in your life, except perhaps for Saturn's brief ingress in...

Written by Carlota Elauria This forecast is for your Ascendant sign, which can be computed at Filipinoastrologer.com . Opportunities The first part of the year finds you busy and hardworking, due to Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter and the Solar Eclipse of Dec. 2019 all in Capricorn. You are set to have your first taste of being out in the public eye as Saturn transits your 5th House from March 22 to July 2, when you are likely to feel like a new dawn has come into your life and start putting effort on your physical appearance and self-presentation. The Great Conjunction on Dec. 22 in your 5th House may spark a significant beginning in the areas of romance, children, self-expression, hobbies, creativity, and happiness that will last a long time. Mars going retrograde from Sept. 10 to Nov. 14 can give you some room for social maneuvering without much risk for personal confrontations. Challenges This may be a rather difficult year for you but one with potential for tremendous gro...

Written by Lots Elauria (AstroreaderPh) (NOTE: Only for those interested and unafraid. It is never my intention to spread fear through this page, only knowledge. Sometimes knowledge is not very comforting, so we must steel ourselves and focus on the good. And that is my request from you in reading this…to not let fear take over and maintain hope and courage amidst the things to come. In times like this, it is critical to maintain a high vibration, to become a beacon of Light than to curse the darkness. Soldier on. We are eternal Souls wrapped in suits of flesh, and there is NOTHING TO FEAR.) I’ve discussed the general overview of the 2020 crises on this page. As mentioned, this is a highly-pressurized year filled with many trials and catalysts for growth. There is much reason to believe that what has culturally been referred to as the ‘End Times’ or the ‘Great Tribulation’ is occurring now, to separate the ‘wheat from the chaff’ of sorts. On an energetic level, the earthly ...

Written by Carlota Elauria This forecast is for your Ascendant sign, which can be computed at Filipinoastrologer.com Opportunities You start off the year at full speed. Jupiter's entry into your 5th House of self-expression will feel like the dawn after a long night, countering the effects of the somber transit of Saturn in your 5th house. As such, it is bound to be a year filled with stable happiness for you regardless of whatever else is going on. Your career is likely to be secure and joyful this year, and you may have to attend more parties or events related to work. The Great Conjunction on Dec. 22 in Aquarius in your 6th House may mark a major beginning in your life in the fields of health, work, and pets that will last a long time. Challenges Jupiter retrograde in your 5th House from May 14 to Sept. 13 may momentarily take away some happy feelings, but you'll also meet new people to network with, particularly around the June 21 Solar Eclipse in Cancer per...

Written by Carlota Elauria This forecast is for your Ascendant sign, which can be computed at Filipinoastrologer.com Opportunities You are set to have a new career opportunity or milestone at the opening of the year as the Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on Dec. 26, 2019, works with Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto direct in Capricorn to launch significant career beginnings. In your 6th House of work and health, this could indicate a new job, health concern or fitness regimen. It is an excellent time to maximize efficiency and let go of unhealthy habits. The Great Conjunction in Aquarius on Dec. 22 occurs in your 7th House of partnerships, so a significant event in your love life or marriage that has far-reaching consequences into the future may occur towards the end of the year. Engagement, separation, or marriage, perhaps? This could also manifest as a great change in your close friendships or business partnerships. Challenges You are likely one of the busiest ones this year, as...

Written by Carlota Elauria This forecast is for your Ascendant sign, which can be computed at Filipinoastrologer.com Opportunities The mid-year will have a Solar Eclipse on June 21 occurring in your sign. It will launch a journey of emotional growth, lasting about four to five months, though it may be at the cost of relationships that no longer benefit you. You'll introspect and focus on your personal life, your family and close circle, perhaps momentarily withdrawing from the public eye. Saturn and Jupiter both transiting your 7th House for most of the year should bring you more opportunities to work on your relationship, and a major career and/or life change. The Great Conjunction on Dec. 22 in Aquarius in your 8th House may begin a highly transformative journey into the fields of the occult, psychology, sex, debt, power, or luxury, that will last many years. Challenges The opening of the year may not be so pleasant for you due to the immense Capricorn energy br...

Jupiter's transit in Capricorn in your 8th House for most of the year should alleviate any difficulties you may have had the past year with external forces, lack of support, debt, or psychological issues, but be careful of becoming overly optimistic in accumulating debt or other personal entanglements. The Solar Eclipse in Cancer on June 21 in your 2nd House of finances will bestow upon you four to five months of relative financial stability, as long as you keep your expenses under control. The Great Conjunction on Dec. 22 occurs in Aquarius in your 9th House, launching a new change or foundation in knowledge, religion, philosophy or ideology that has long-term effects. ...

By Carlota Elauria This forecast is for your Ascendant sign, which can be computed at Filipinoastrologer.com Opportunities You start strong this year with most of the planets above the horizon in your chart. A Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on Dec. 26, 2019 marked the start of an all-new career opportunity in your life that steadily progresses until around May 2020, when Jupiter goes retrograde in your 10th House and Saturn in Aquarius goes retrograde in your 11th House. The months leading up to your birthday will be busy and eventful, with little time to focus on your private or emotional side. Jupiter in your 10th House for most of the year gives you immense focus on your career, added opportunities and growth, but can also give you the tendency to take on too much responsibility. The Great Conjunction on Dec. 22 occurs in Aquarius in your 11th House, launching a major beginning in the fields of friendships, networking, organizations, groups, technology, and the Internet. ...
