The Moon is in Taurus.

Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio.

This morning begins with a lovely sextile aspect forming between Mercury who rules over our mental realm and communication and expansive, abundant Jupiter. Today is going to be a positive day especially in regards too finding out some great news to do with money, work, finding out you got that home you applied for, or you got a big promotion as well as you may finally enroll in that course you have been putting off to do to further your work and education skills. Overall it’s a great day.

Today, we are able to see a lot more of the Bigger Picture, in regards to the both shadow and Light sides of life and situations we face right now. We are able to see the advantages and the growth that is possible from embracing all sides! Opportunities to teach, learn, expand and travel are very possible at the moment so embrace every opportunity that comes your way! Create more and less stress.

The Moon continues its transit through grounded, dependable and sensual Taurus. Whenever the Moon is in Taurus, who is ruled by Venus it is a great time to seek the pleasures of love and beauty all around you. Go on a romantic dinner or cook for your loved one. As the Moon and Taurus go hand in hand in their love for food and overindulging. Today set aside some time and create a loving beautiful romantic space in your home, buy yourself some fresh flowers, light a scented candle and delve into your sensuality.

The Moon later tonight will enter into mind stimulating Gemini, so on your romantic dinner you may find even more pleasure in engaging in mentally stimulating conversations.. Remember, when the Moon is VOC*, the energies are neutral, so it is neither  good or bad, it simply suggests that whatever occurs will not have any significant future impact.

Just keep things simple today, go with the flow and allow what is to be to happen.

 

Happy Thursday!

Why Rush? 24/01/2018

First quarter Moon moves in Taurus.

The Taurus Moon trines Saturn in Capricorn and squares Venus and the Sun  in Aquarius.

We see the first quarter Moon moving into Taurus. The Moon in Taurus is making us get into the real world, its pushing us to become more serious and lay practical foundations that will see you through the long-term. Taurus energy is grounded, placid and earthy. Its rigid and it all about security. Its pushes us to seek comfort and security in our world. However, the Moon and Taurus go hand in hand, and the both connect on a food level, and love to over indulge in the finer things in life such as naughty treats, alcohol and everything you know you love but should only have in moderation! When the Moon is in Taurus we also tend to become a tad lazy, loving to lounge around which is great if you have the option. If not treat yourself to a massage, take yourself to the movies or a late lunch with friends as Taurus motto is ” Why Rush”  and has an easygoing and laid back feel to the day.

The Taurus Moon than forms a trine to Saturn in Capricorn (More earth energy) and squares Venus and the Sun in Aquarius ( Air energy). We have a good balance of energies going on today. Between the earthy energy, which is about being practical, working hard and security and Air energy, that is all about ideas, communication, inspiration and insight. By using your ideas along with your technical expertise to make changes in your practical life, will come more naturally and easier today.  Such as finding a new job, making new friends, reaching out and making practical social connections. It’s a great day to use your intellect and your practicality to use, you will be amazed on how far you will go. Think large and see things on a bigger scale.

Happy Hump Day.

Look Up to the skies for Empowerment! 23/01/2018.

The Sun is in Aquarius.

The Moon is in Aires.

The Moon in Aires squares Mercury in Capricorn.

Sun in Aquarius semisextiles Saturn in Capricorn.

What a powerful day, as you awake today if you can get up early and go outside and admire the sky before the Sun rises. Between 5:50 am and 6:50 am EST, Saturn, Mercury and Pluto will be seen rising in the east.

The Moon spends the day in assertive, and spontaneous Aries. This Aries Moon stimulates our drive and will to really go out and achieve something great! We are energised and our desires to initiate and start new adventures, projects and goals come first.

The Moon in Aires squares Mercury in Capricorn. Mercury being the planet that rules over the way we think and communicate is now rubbing the Moon’s energy the wrong way and causing friction between both planets. The Aires Moon energy is about busting down obstacles and riding forward no matter the cost. Mercury in Capricorn is all about practicality and thinking sensible, its measured and very consistent. Today, Mercury is sparking with the Aires Moon. Mercury is all about Aires slowing down. Its making us see our plans through properly,  going about things stoic and methodically and having a very grounded approach to any issues that arise now.

Sun in Aquarius semisextiles Saturn in Capricorn. Our ego aligning with the Master planet of lessons and Karma, should see for an interesting day. If we ever needed a reality check and grounding, than today provides us with just that! We will find that we become accountable and responsible for our actions especially in social settings. Staying open and grounded is the key today, learning to be still in chaos is the only way to learn and grow with the energy of today.

Consider all the power play planets in the sky today interacting? I am sure this month has been one of great change in your life, very grounding and setting the wheels into motion in regards to your self growth and what you want to manifest in your life for 2018. The change you may seek is powerful, even revolutionary so as awaken and as you move in a positive direction towards reaching your goals change, it is key that you do the work necessary now to bring about your desires, healing and growth.

 

Happy Tuesday!

The Crescent Moon moves into Aires.

This Aires Moon forms a harmonious connection with the Sun and Venus in Aquarius.

Happy Monday! This week we can expect a real mix up daily of the energies.

The Crescent Moon moves into Aires. We shift from dreamy and illusion to action orientated and serious. What a great way to start the week off as we see the Moon moving through the first sign of the zodiac and we are at the beginning of a new lunar cycle. Seeing that the Moon moves every day or so this week into the first three signs of the zodiac (Aires, Taurus and Gemini).  The energy is all tied in together, in regards to us, our energy and our intentions moving forward and especially in regards to starting projects, goals and plans a fresh. The first three houses are associated with progression. The first house is related to our self and our coming into the world. The second house is about coming to terms with the real world and the third house is about communication and making what is yours.. well yours!!! By putting as personal stamp onto everything you do.

These kinds of energy are very detailed and it requires us to be open, to learn, to accept, to communicate and to come to terms with whats happening, resisting change is the only thing that is stopping us growing and evolving as a soul. You can achieve major change if you put your back into it. Lucky the Moon in Aries is giving us a much-needed energy boost, we feel more active, energised and spontaneous. We can find that we are naturally and instinctively have an urge to start a fresh and start putting our 2018 plans into action!

This Aires Moon forms a harmonious connection with the Sun and Venus in Aquarius. The Sun traditionally is associated with our self and our identity. Now Venus connects us with beauty, love, money and creativity. Aquarius, is an Air sign, it’s about communication, technology,  humanity and teaching the greater good.

Today we start the day off with the excitement that comes from the new lunar cycle and this Aires energy. With Venus and the Sun added to the mix, it means that we are gong to find happiness, love and joy from interacting with other people in social situations. Today is a great day for interacting and making connections through social media and online adventures (As Aquarius rues this realm) . It’s also a great day to catch up and wine and dine with friends and loved ones. We are flying high enthusiastic and spirited so go out and enjoy the day!

Happy Monday!

Mars in Scorpio trines Chiron in Pisces.

The Aquarius Moon squares Jupiter in Scorpio.

Now that both Venus and the Moon are now in rebellious Aquarius, it couldn’t be more of a perfect time to take a moment to consider the areas of life where you are resistant to the pressures of the traditional ways of social construct. Aquarius loves to defy the social norm and think cleverly outside the box. Aquarius now being in Venus makes it a great time to create a new way of  handling, working with and thinking in regards to your values, money and relationships.

Mars in Scorpio trines Chiron in Pisces. This is where the energy of the week changes. Mars being the male energy that drives our will and desires,sitting in the water sign of Scorpio, that is ruled by Pluto the transformation planet. Scorpio is wonderful sign, it’s very capable of identifying emotional truths and looking at these truths without fear and to transform them for the better. Now, Chiron on the other hand is a planetoid that represents the wounded healer Its the part of us that needs transformation so we can rise from the ashes. Mars in Scorpio with its strong ability now to really feel things and Chiron being in the water sign of Pisces means that we will be affected emotionally on some level today. There’s a deep intuitive, emotional and psychic energy present. Today is going to be a great day for deepening our awareness, transforming old beliefs about our self and is wonderful  energy for healing.

The Moon is still in Aquarius, that means our higher thinking and creative innovation will be high today. The Aquarius Moon squares Jupiter in Scorpio. More water energy to add into the mix today. Jupiter being the lucky planet connected with this Aquarius Moon is all about good luck and abundance coming your way from the people around you today and by your feelings. There is a potential today for someone or some issue from your past to appear or arise! In order for you to heal these past hurts and old wounds, we must remember we need to feel these old wounds before we can heal them. Lucky we have the added strength of Mars to help us become and feel fearless if such wounds arise today!

With the Moon still in Aquarius, take the time to truly listen to those who think differently than you do. You may feel uncomfortable at first but take the time to try to understand the view points. Aquarius energy really allows us to focus on the importance of your task ahead, even when things get tough and the world seems to be against you, you are able to set your emotions aside and get on with things!

Have a magical day!

We still have New Moon energy around.. What goals do you want to achieve? 17/01/2018.

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Wednesday January 17th, 2018.

The Moon The Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Venus moves into Aquarius.

Today as, the Moon and Venus enter Aquarius, lightning up our mood and bringing us out of the dark and seriousness of the past few days as we have been entering a significant growth cycle.

Venus moves into Aquarius and will continue to transit the sign until February 10th. The energy lightens up as we moves from serious earthy Capricorn into an Air sign that rules our mental realm. Aquarius energy is all about freedom and self-expression. Aquarius is about seeking, poking, prodding, being curious, thinking differently and outside the box. Aquarius loves being light, flirtatious, playful and very determined to figure out how to make you smile and support you on a very personal level in the most usual way.

As Venus enters Aquarius don’t be surprised that your relationships and friendships get a much-needed light-hearted boost. You may find that your social stamina grows, and that you may be attracted to, as well as extend your friendship, business and loving relationships to an eclectic mix of people. You seek to be an individual and be completely independent in your relationships. During this transit you may feel you need more space to breath and to be your true authenticate self. Aquarius is faithful, much like Capricorn, but it is on their terms. Meaning if you can’t find the room to creatively express yourself and find acceptance, you may see tension and unwanted friction arising in all your relationships. However, it’s really important on your individual quest to remember that Aquarius is all about being friends as well as lovers, and that we need to remember to treat love interest, working relationships, or your partner with respect, as well as the same freedom that you crave. Its important not to become selfish or self-absorbed in your own endeavors.

The New Moon remains in Capricorn until early this morning when it moves into Aquarius. The Capricorn New Moon suggested to us that we plant a seed of maturity, goal orientated intentions, growth and gave us reality checks through hard work and stability. As the Moon moves in Aquarius, it’s important that we find like-minded people, whose mind is as quirky as yours, as well as people who don’t mind the quirkiness and far out ways of thinking. We will search for intellectual, stimulating conversations with unusual groups of people today especially those that won’t judge your far-out ways. Aquarius energy is innovative and we may come up with unusual solutions to long-range issues especially regarding issues on a humanitarian level. A great question to ask yourself today is..  How can you help?

Don’t be surprised with this shift to Aquarius energy (remembering it rules our mental aspect) that ideas will manifest, the brain fog lifts, interest in new developments will grow and we become very quick-witted and creative in our communication and dealings with others. If you have not yet done your New Moon intentions it’s too late! Today the energy is still strong! Get dreaming and manifesting. Happy New Moon gang!

Happy Wednesday!

The Capricorn New Moon! Ambition and Progress! 16/01/2018.

 Capricorn New Moon!

The New Moon occurs in the cardinal earth sign of Capricorns at 26 degrees. This is exciting as this New Moon is commencing a new lunar cycle. This First New Moon and lunar cycle of the year will focus on the constructive traits of grounded Capricorn. It’s a time for us to focus on Capricorn’s positive traits such as being goal orientated, practicality, reliable, disciplined, to focus on our work and career and the foundations and structures in our daily lives.

This Capricorn New Moon occurs tonight at 9:18 PM EST. New Moons are occur when  the Sun and Moon join together, blending their energies. Causing the Moon to be in compete darkness as it joins the Sun and recharges its batteries,as one would say for the next lunar cycle.. This New Moon will be at  27° Capricorn. New Moon traditionally are a time for planting seeds of intention, to manifest your dreams, ambitions, goals and projects. It’s also a time to be looking at the future and setting goals. It’s a time to go inward as we the skies are pitch black, it’s about taking an inventory and taking charge of your life. Figuring out what needs tweaking or what you want to achieve in the future. It’s truly a time to set aside a moment or two, to reflect and have a serious contemplation on your life, that will hopefully bring you to an understanding of what focus of growth you want to begin in the upcoming lunar phase and most importantly how you go about reaching these goals.

Capricorn being at 26 degrees, in numerology breaks down to eight. Two plus six equals eight. Eight in numerology is about power in its self, it’s about leadership, business, construction, building and finding a balance. Eight is a Karmic number… You shall reap what you’ve sewn. The eight balances the material and immaterial worlds.  This means this is going to be a very powerful and strong New Moon, that will really give us a push to make positive change.

The New Moon that is happening in the earth sign of Capricorn, the sign of the head strong goat, resistant to external change, to stressful situations and circumstances that would bring others to their knees. Capricorn is associated with those born in January, it’s a time to work hard, making do with what you have. It’s a New Year and a time for all to start fresh.  It’s a time to get back to work and get serious.

One of  Capricorn many talents is that they can get back into the swing of things easily, Capricorn’s are great at focusing on getting back to work, to school and into routine with ease. Capricorn’s are calm, reliable and safe. Capricorn’s are all about doing the right thing, training yourself to deal with hardships and difficulties as they come, it’s about training yourself to do the right thing, to live by the rules, to just get on with things without complaining. Capricorn’s are wonderful at being  grateful along with having  gratitude for what they have. Capricorn’s energy is about applying yourself, using resources and education to get ahead. The energy is also very grounded, reasonable and very practical. Capricorn is not one to complain and defiantly do not tolerate those who feel they have a sense of entitlement. It’s all is far in Love and War!

On the shadow side of Capricorn is, it can be frustrating with there over dedication to stoicism. No self-pity for earthy Capricorn which sometimes is a downfall as being to emotional cut off and over dedicated can be very harsh and cold. It’s about finding the balance and taking on the positive qualities of this sign to set achievable goals this month and for the year ahead.

One of Capricorn’s “lessons” is that we should take on board is acceptance, responsibility, boundaries and that setting goals for ourselves can allow us to focus on what really matters, that rules can actually offer us freedom by eliminating worry and fear.

This New Moon is about releasing worn-out beliefs in mind. Releasing what must happen before you can move ahead. Making room for the new. A new beginning is upon those who choose to make room for change. This New Moon is about becoming more practical and making long-term commitments, goals and change. We have the chance to create some serious order in our lives. The Capricorn energy forces us to recognize our responsibilities, and realistically nurture our dreams and ambitions.

This New Moon aligns with lovely Venus. Than forms a square to Uranus, and sextiles Mars. If there wasn’t a better time for us to realize that we need to break away from old, outdated patterns of thinking and doing so that we can move forward authentically and for our highest best good. Because Venus is involved (like she is in all 3 lunations this month with the Full Moon we had on the 1st, New Moon today and Full Moon Eclipse on 31st). Love, money and relationships (Love, Business and financial partnerships) will be a major  focus for us, especially in regards to transformation and positive change. Venus will also advocate that diplomacy and kindness is the way to move forward with our goals and desires. However Uranus in Aries may not appreciate this softness and feels less comfortable with this idea as it squares the New Moon. This means some of us may tend to lean towards being impulsive and restlessness whilst others are overly focused on security and safety. This New Moon, we may need to master and push past whatever is our particular blockage, whatever makes us feel vulnerable, to gain an edge on our own growth. With wild, unpredictable Uranus in the mix, you may find yourself wanting to move forward but feeling held back by some restrictive outside or inner force. Not to fear, Mars will assist you in finding the will and drive to push through these hurdles and to take action!

Lighten up! 12/01/18!

The Moon leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius.

Mercury cojoins Saturn in Capricorn.

By the time you begin the day, the Moon has moved away from being deeply emotional and dark to an idealistic, freedom-seeking energy of Sagittarius. Adventures,an attitude change and an energy boost as we aim high today. Sagittarius is an optimistic sign, you may feel the need for autonomy, seeking physical and emotional space. The need for fun and adventure is a high priority today as you feel the need to explore the world around you.

Although the day is likely to be relatively upbeat, by lunch time, you may feel Mercury’s connection to Saturn looming. Mercury cojoins with Saturn in Capricorn. This will be the final of 3 Mercury/Saturn conjunction. We seen the first two meetings between these two last year when Saturn was in Sadge, and then we had Mercury retrograde which this aspect caught a ride on the back-end of its retrograde journey.   This Mercury/Saturn conjunction is great for getting focused, becoming mature, getting our feet solidly on the ground, becoming more serious and mastering your self in the way you communicate and think. Something new is being seeded and new energies are incoming.

Mercury in serious Capricorn conjunts Saturn in Capricorn, who is also very serious. Saturn will be in Capricorn until 2020. Saturn in Capricorn energy is very straight forward, if you want something you are going to have to work hard towards getting it. It’s about taking responsibility and owning up to your actions or how you act in and present yourself in situation that comes your way. If you want something in life you need to work for it, be responsible and stick to what is expected of you. Saturn is all about karmic lessons and when it’s in Capricorn its making us step up and own our life!

The Moon in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces. Neptune being the planet that is linked with our dreams and imagination, intuition, and Sagittarius is the sign of being upbeat, energetic and an adventures energy. So this energy will hep counteract the seriousness of Mercury/Saturn today and lighten the energy.

Today we are very self-aware,  indeed many may be to serious at the moment, contemplating over issues, but try not to fall into the trap of pessimistic thinking. The lighter side of the energies today means maybe we have come to realize that we have been taking life way to serious as of late, and you may stop and have a good laugh at how rigid and stern you have become. lighten up today and remember to have a laugh. You may even realize how crazy the expectations you have given yourself and others and you lighten up and ground yourself into a more balanced way of life!

I mentioned yesterday where did Capricorn falls your natal charts, This is major as all year-long in 2018 there is a massive focus on the Capricorn part of the sky, so where Capricorn is in your chart it can bring in some important awareness and useful insights around what path of mastery, evolution and responsibility is being asked of us this year.  Pay attention!

Happy Friday!

This is Exceptional Energy for Transformation

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Thursday, January 11, 2018.

The Moon is in Scorpio.

Mercury , Saturn, the Sun, Venus, and Pluto are all in Capricorn.

The Sun in Capricorn parallels Pluto in Capricorn.

As you begin the day, Mercury has joined with Saturn, the Sun, Venus, and Pluto in serious and grounded Capricorn. This is a large pile-up in a very restrictive, practical, no non sense sign. Capricorn energy will make it easier for us to concentrate on the task at hand. Our thought patterns and communication styles will be structured in a more logical, orderly, and organized. The way we show appreciation and love towards others will be in a goal orientated and planned out way!  None of this spur of the moment, wild date nights. Capricorn likes organisation, practicality and you know EXACTLY where stand in love, business and in Money matters. However the downside of too much earthy Capricorn energy is we can come across harsh, cold, unattached and over determined. We become to rigid in the way we think and perceive things. We have the ability to neglect others thoughts, feelings, opinions and communication can be very serious and direct. Otherwise, if you need a fine tune up after the Christmas holidays, a little sharpening of your focus, your intentions, your health, business, work, and what is really relevant to us this year,this energy can be very useful now.

The Sun in Capricorn parallels Pluto in Capricorn, echoing the Sun/Pluto conjunction that was exact earlier this week on Tuesday. From Tuesday to Thursday of this week, we have been experiencing a super aspect between the center (Sun) of our galaxy & the furthest planet at the edge of our galaxy (Pluto). This means they amplify, but it also exacerbates their energy together.

The Sun is our ego, our self and Pluto is the planet of transformation. Its energy is one that if we surrender our will , egos, past trauma and wounds to a Higher Power you can expect healing and re birth of a new you! What needs purging? What no longer serves a purpose in your life? Ask yourself today…

What house does Capricorn fall in your natal chart? That area of your life is in MASSIVE focus for you this year. Pay attention to where you are being pulled to evolve, asked them to be released, ask for blockages to be removed, cords to be cut, negative thinking about a positive outcomes or a dream to be transformed and in particularly we are being asked to get rid of something old so that something wonderful and new  can occur.  This area of your life ( In your Natal Chart) will require ongoing attention and effort over the year. Your readiness and willingness to do this deep work in these areas will serve you well this year!

 

Happy Thursday!

Going with the flow! Mercury enters Capricorn! 10/01/2018!

The Moon is in Scorpio.

Mercury moves into Capricorn

The Scorpio Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to  Neptune.

The Moon is in Scorpio again today, and it asks us to delve emotionally deep into our self and our connection to others. Today, don’t be surprised if you find yourself inclined to search for hidden layers of situations and by others around you. As we can attempt to understand on a deeper level, we are also fascinated by what drives others, we are also drawn to experiences that evoke these curiosities, all that is secret and taboo.

Mercury moves into Capricorn today where it will remain until January 31st. Mercury rules over the element of communication, our thought structure, travel, official documentation and technology. Mercury in Capricorn is all about producing information, not as much as absorbing it! The mood and the way we think is serous, much along the lines of is this practical? Is this worth the time? Is this beneficial? Do you have the time and money to commit? Communication and the way we think will become very serious, Capricorn cuts out the wishy-washy and gets down to business. Mercury in Capricorn is great for being focused, grounded, overly cautious, traditional, rigid in our thinking and practical. It will also allow us to master the way we think and speak to others. Its shifting from being in spontaneous Sagittarius to earthy Capricorn, from free-spirited to the physical body.

However, the shadow side of Mercury in Capricorn is we become to serious, over-cautious and shut off from the magic that is  hidden in plain sight, around us all the time! Allow yourself to have a mental/ physical tune up and get practical, but also don’t forget to let your hair down and see the small blessings as they come.

Following the intensity of Monday and Tuesday, today offers us a day to rest and allows us to get lost in our daydreams and reflect. As this sassy Scorpio Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to dreamy, sensitive Neptune. What a perfect day to take some time for yourself, to meditate, to get lost in a book, a movie or listen to music whilst watching the clouds pass by. Engage today, in whatever activity brings you to a place of ‘flow” and brings you closer to your true self. Today we will have more compassion for others, we can experience heightened intuition and fascinated by the mystical arts.

Happy Hump Day!
