New Moon in Leo

Happy New Moon Day

Today Tuesday, August 2nd, 2016, at 4:44 PM EDT is a New Moon in Leo marking the beginning of a new cycle. The Cancer New Moon cycle ends, and the Leo New Moon cycle begins.

The New Moon is Leo will ignite creativity, passion, self-expression, self-love and sovereignty in ourselves and others.

As we know the New  Moon cycle is a  time to make some plans, set intentions, and bring forth manifestations into our life, we use this Luna cycle to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings. These intentions no matter how little or big as they may be, will come to life in approximately two-week time after the Full Moon occurs and if  it is perfect time to enter your life. So remember your wishes can be as wild as you like and  if you can believe it, you can achieve it

The New Moon has potent Leo energy, we have the chance to make significant changes in our lives. Think about the keywords for Leo, proud , active, authoritative, magnanimous, generous, caring and warm and consider ways in which you can incorporate these traits into your personality.

This is a perfect time for formulating some goals regarding  “all things Leo”. Using the influences of this fire sign concentrate on new ways to enhance your creative endeavors and hobbies. Ignite and improve your romantic life as well as building up your self-confidence and have a healthy pride in yourself.

Today there is also a Saturn/Neptune square – this influence triggers our personal and collective journey surrounding truth and lies, reality and illusion what is really hidden underneath to what we see  on the surface.

Saturn’s supportive trine to the New Moon suggests we should begin our new projects and endeavors gradually, step by step.

We are still in the New Moon phase so keep making your wishes

Venus trine with  Mars today  July 6. Today is an  excellent time for starting a new relationship, friendship or loving relationship .This trine between Venus and Mars is one of the best times to enhance a relationships

Sexual attraction, Flirting and  romantic activities are favoured. .

Today the Moon is in Leo.

 Leo speaks to our inner child, This is a time when we seek out attention , a need to be centre of attention and a craving for appreciation to what you bring into people’s life’s, your gifts, talents and a boost in your pride!

But remember Leo energy of pride can both prevent us from opening up and truly reveal ourselves but also pride’s advantage  can keep us from pettiness.

~Todays Oracle card~

Joy

 You drew this card as a reminder that your power comes from staying centered in a feeling of joy. Ask your angels for guidance about any changes you can make to bring more joy into your life and the lives of others. If you’re feeling trapped or victimized in any way, the angels can ease your burdens. A joyful outlook brings the freedom you desire, while your responsibilities are simultaneously met.

 • Release or heal any parts of your life that aren’t joyful

• The answer to your question involves choosing the route that brings you the most joy

• Release fears while manifesting, and instead focus on feeling the joy as if your desire were already a reality.

MOON IN CANCER

July 5Tth 2016

 Today the Moon is in Cancer and  Mercury is in trine with Neptune

Well it’s a pretty glorious  day for anything to do with communications and dreams. Mercury the planet that rules our thought process and communication is connecting with the dreamy and inspirational Neptune.

Yesterday we entered into a New Moon in Cancer, so if you haven’t had the chance to make some wishes or intentions do so today…

So use today and the energy of Mercury’s clear thought process and Neptune imaginative energy  to make your 10 wishes, set your intentions, go as big or as little as you like and make your commitments for the coming four weeks. You won’t regret it. Remember you are what you think and feel, you are a powerful manifester so dismiss negative thoughts and feels and feel good about your intentions you wish to bring forth into your world.

July 4-5. With Venus in Cancer we have a strong desire for harmony, love, safety and comfort . We may be moved to express our affections, don’t hold back!

 

~ Today’s Daily Oracle Card~

~ Its time to move on ~

It’s time to let go of the old and worn out so that the new can come in.” By drawing this card, you’re alerted to the fact that you need to make room for the new by letting go of the old. First, let go emotionally and intellectually. In other words, “quit” or “say good-bye” in your mind and heart. Once you do this, the physical letting-go will happen naturally, in a peaceful and harmonious way. Ask Heaven to help you make this transition, and don’t plan, scheme, or worry about how your letting-go (or replacement) will occur. Put all of your energy into prayer and faith, and leave the rest up to Infinite Spirit. You’ll get definite guidance whenever it’s the right moment to take action. Until then, stay lovingly detached from your old situation.

This week in astrology 04/07/16

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

This week in astrology….

The start of the week we get a New Moon in Cancer. This beautiful manifesting New Moon occurs on Monday, July 4th, 2016, at 7:01 AM EDT

The New Moon in Cancer on July 4, 2016 is the commencement of a new Luna cycle., thus ending the Gemini New Moon. Cycle. This month not only is the Sun is in Cancer, Venus is in Cancer and Mercury is in Cancer. Oh La La.

So what does this mean..

The Sun is in Cancer from June 20-July 22. We Cancerians are very self-protective and do a lot of inward looking, so many of you may experience this energy under this cosmic influence. Emotions run deep with us Cancerians and so any of you could experience the waves and floods of emotions we experience daily for no reason. We are more susceptible to the ups and downs of the Moon; even more so while the Sun is in Cancer. Nurturing and taking care of our loved ones including pets comes into focus. But remember to take some self-care as this cardinal sign often neglects their own needs. I am very guilty of this!! Attentions will be turned into our homes, love nest and most of all our loved ones and families, anything that makes you feel safe and secure.

From June 29-July 13 Mercury is in Cancer. Mercury is the planet that rules communication and thought process. While it resides in the sign of cancer it will be less of the logical mind thinking and reasoning and more gut level way of feeling, thinking, speaking and perceiving. With Mercury in Cancer you wont want to understand or be interested in things on face or surface value instead you will dive into the root of things, on a deep emotional level not a superficial one. Intellect and emotion mix to the point of inseparability.

Venus hmm the planet of love and abundance is in Cancer from June 17-July 12. When Venus is in the sign of Cancer , it is very  nurturing, with elements of  self-protective and  cautiousness , and protectiveness of loved ones, Venus in cancer can also be very fertile.In Cancer, Venus can make us  experience many emotional  ups and downs in love. We become tender,  impressionable , attached,devoted, romantic, Cancer love is warm and sensitive .

Don’t be surprised if you have the urge to be affectionate,caring, over protective, sociable, cuddly, cute and mushy .

Have a great week, happy birthday and happy New Moon to all my Moon children.

Happy Manifesting

“Love is in the air”

MOON INTO GEMINI

There is a lot of love and good feeling in the air today! Even when I pulled the daily card I got ” Cupid”

Today as the Moon moves into Gemini we see Venus connecting with the planet Pluto first and then secondly with Jupiter.

If you need to liven things up with your love life, lover or you just want more fun in your life, then use today. Smile that cute stranger, widen your horizons by texting that person who you have been admiring , talk things through, feel the love.

Currently we are in the Balsamic Moon phase…. which energy is great for healing, smoothing things over , healing wounds.
this is the day or night to connect with someone who makes you feel GOOD.

The Balsamic Moon phase is the final phase in the lunation cycle, the Balsamic Moon is the monthly “sleep time” ” healing time” “replenishing time” . During the next three to four days of this phase, your  vitality and spirit are replenished, refuelling you to start the next New Moon Luna phase. We all love a New Moon and making New Moon intention and wishes

The Balsamic Moon phase can and has caused me ( and im sure a few of you out there) a depletion in our physical energy. Our physical energy is necessarily  low as our psychic energy is high. We are  at a threshold, with the  ending of one Luna phase while anticipating a new one round the corner. We might want to get into motion, but our bodies are tired.

 

~Todays Oracle Card ~

~Cupid~

This card comes to you because the angels see your desire for romance. Instead of fixing the externals in your love life, they assist you internally. The angels say that romance springs from falling in love with life itself. When you let the angels awaken this love within you, you naturally attract and experience more romantic love in your relationships. Additional meanings for this card: Surround yourself with romantic beauty such as roses and candles • Give any emotional hurt to the angels • Ask Archangel Michael to help you release any painful attachments to previous or current lovers • Clearly decide what you desire in your love life • Affirm: “It is safe for me to love and be loved.”

Moon in Libra 18/5/16

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

MOON INTO LIBRA

The Moon again transits Libra all day, so today is a good day  for resolving any relationship issues’s, use this time to make peace with an ex – loved one, partner, friend.Under this influence, we find the most emotional satisfaction when our interactions, whether they are with with people or our environment are balanced and harmonious. Libra’s energy is all about being diplomatic, fair and equal, so if you have a personal or professional matter on which you’d like to reach an agreement, today is the day. Pleasing others is a theme now. Conflicts tend to be avoided. Today is all showing people how much you care, so basically just a great day for love.

We are still in Mercury retrograde, Mercury is the planet of communication and rules our “lower” mind, this is where we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others.Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion and miscommunication, this can happen in areas that are also ruled by mercury such as travel, formal contracts, buying and selling, speaking and negotiating, documents and mailing, shipping etc. So remember no big plans are to launched, signed or released, hold up on any big purchases. Don’t book that big overseas trip just yet and dont sign any important documents or rentals or agreements.. if you can hold off do so for another week or so

We are entering Mercury’s shadow period ( which begins begins April 14th and ends June 7th) .

The Moon is waxing this week until the Full Moon Saturday 21st. This Moon phase is generally  considered a good time for new beginnings, as the moon is increasing in illumination it represents gaining and development, use this moon phase to develop ideas and plans, and really fine tune and cultivate them for the next stage of manifestation

The Moon is square to Pluto and opposition to Uranus, this planetary clash can lead to  manipulative or rebellious behavior.

The Moon An Ancient Guide

The Moon As A Guide

Humans have gazed up at the nighttime sky for thousands of years, looking for meaning and guidance from the moon and stars. If you think about it, its really amazing how the Moon has a profound effect on the Earth, the gravity it generates is powerful enough to stir up and move water in our oceans , causing high and low tides.

The revolution of the Moon around the Earth makes the Moon appear as if it is changing shape and colour in the sky, but as we all know the Moon doesn’t generate any light itself,  its illuminating glow  is just the reflection of the light caused by the different angle of the Sun, in which we see as the bright part on the Moon’s surface.

The moon is our closest neighbor in space, and the moon has a profound effect on the Earth and on the human imagination. The moon & its phases were understood as early as 500 BC by the Greeks.  The shadow it cast is dark enough to obscure our sun in a solar eclipse. Its brilliance can illuminate a traveler’s path on a long winter’s night.

Being aware of the moon and seasonal changes has always been important to those who choose to focus the lunar energy on their goals and objectives, the moon cycles were used to keep track of seasons, and thus designated different agricultural markers.

In most neo-Pagan and Wiccan traditions, the names given to the various moon cycles are based upon a couple of different sources. the moon cycles were used to keep track of seasons, and thus designated different agricultural markers. The farmers almanacs ( An Almanacs is a calendar containing events such as phases of the moon, tides,sunrises and sunsets, astronomical or meteorological information,including future positions of celestial objects, star magnitudes, and culmination dates of constellations and other statistical information and related topics.) Where based on lunar cycles. The phases of the moon were very important to the farmer’s who timed their harvesting according to the moons cycles.
Knowing the moons phases can help you plan and prepare for change, new beginnings and endings. Ancient ways can still be used in modern times, working with the moons energy increases your own personal power and supports your intention. it is used in goal setting and self-empowerment,  and, of course, the moons energy play’s an important role for people that use the various phases of the moon in ritual work, magic and other ceremonies.

Rituals undertaken during certain moon phases can be enhanced by using the moon and its cycles for specific purposes.

IT’S HERE…THE FULL MOON  LUNAR ECLIPSE

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 4 degrees in Libra

OK, it’s the celestial build-up we have all been waiting for! Over the next 24 hours, Astrologically we will see  two massive planets, Jupiter and Saturn clash and then on the same day, we get the Full Moon eclipse in the relationship sign of Libra.

In other words, all bets are off in March, due to our  Super New moon in Pisces, our Lunar Eclipse in Libra and the equinox, so  things could get quite wild and it’s a REALLY awesome day to practice some old fashioned Full Moon forgiveness and gratitude. We are in a transformational time right now, Exciting stuff hey.

The Eclipse Energy always bring huge change and fast movement on our Paths!

So what are you doing differently this time?

Are you experiencing a complete shift in conscious ?

We are also experiencing re-patterning energies that has not been experienced since March 1998, when this eclipse  last occurred.

Here we go with some magnificent cosmic energy raining down upon our beautiful planet Earth. We are literally charged up with light over the next 24 hours globally. So today channel some of that Aries energy i talked about yesterday, get some courage, be bold  and step up! It’s  time to step through the portal! Leave the past behind, and step into the right future that lies before you!

Now before you start getting wild ideas, and shedding off your celestial skin, old ideas and behaviors, remember  it is important to stay balanced and grounded, its especially important to  patiently wait for the spiritual energies to be more supportive for your forward movement. ( hmm patience, something i need to work on in this life time, and funny enough it was our oracle card from yesterday, here is the link if you would like to re read the message on Patience ). This is a day to focus on the positives in your life. Be careful not to mope about or feel sorry for yourself, for you will…

 

We all must remember there is an ebb and flow to the Universal Energy.there is a time to be still and a time to take action,in the stillness we gather information, strength and peace within. and soon enough the energies will flow again and your path will unfold. Trust in the divine timing and have faith.

Super New Moon in Pisces 2016

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

 

Happy New Moon day!

Well this New Moon in Pisces on March 8-9 is not only a Super Moon, meaning it is closest to Earth and so has a stronger effect on the tides and our bodies and emotions, This New Moon is also  first of four eclipses this year…Tonight and tomorrow see’s the  first of three Super Moons in a row, this New Moon eclipse also happens with the Moon at perigee ( the moons closest point to earth in its orbit),  which intensifies its impact on tides, tectonic plates and human beings. Tonight’s  Moon  see’s this Super New Moon in the archetypal waters of Pisces, Ah Pisces the sign of the dreamer, the mystic the artist. During this period we are asked to step into our dream time to reflect, to feel it all, to cleanse it all and draw forth from the collective unconscious and find a new dream that wants to be birthed.

During this solar eclipse prepare yourself to navigate yourself through the energies of the New Super moon in Pisces, as it is the most emotional moon if the year . This eclipse illuminates the hidden light within, and we have to face the reality of who we really are.This solar eclipse will give you the power to dissolve thoughts, ideas and beliefs that are holding you back.

The essence of Pisces is the element- water, water delves into our emotional realm, Pisces connects us with the energy of feminine compassionate, we get a stronger connection to our intuition , we dedicate ourselves to Selfless Service, Unite with the Divine, Dreaming the undreamable and making it a reality and bringing out our Creative side. An important gift of the Pisces sign is our creative imagination, our ability to listen through our imagination to the Earth as well as to other beings.

Because of all the mystical energy around when the Pisces energy is so strong, it’s a wonderful time to work on your intuitive skills. As you align with the energy radiating from the Universe, you attune yourself with high frequency vibrations and this greatly accelerates your spiritual growth. Sit quietly and ask the universe.. What message do you have for me?  it may come to you then, or hours later. It can come as a direct message, a thought a repetitive feeling, watch out for the synchronicities  the universe is giving you, truly open yourself to receiving the gifts of the divine, what thought or idea has been popping into your mind lately???  Gracelessly accept all the divine intervention you get with gratitude.

During an eclipse, the fundamental laws of the universe no longer apply. At the solar eclipse, something is trying to get your attention. So give the reins over to the universe, stop trying to control the outcome of your life and just go with the flow of this Pisces energy. It’s a time for new beginnings, and for us to expect the unexpected. All we need to do is set our intention sit back surrender and enjoy the ride. This is a great time to do activities that heighten our intuition so get that yoga mat out, go out and re connect with nature and meditate, charge those crystals and play around with your tarot deck.

Pisces New Moon energy encourages you to dream and envision a peaceful compassionate world. There is the potential for profound healing for you, send healing energy to the world and anything you feel needs healing and uplifting in your world. If things have been tough recently, ask/pray for some help from the divine source and then let the Magic happen. This total solar eclipse will enable us to see the shadow parts of our personality, giving us the courage to see life and accept reality exactly as it is, allowing too see all the blessings! Let the darkness of the New Moon and eclipse shine light on the shadows parts of your soul and personality., allowing you to see the unconscious destructive behaviours that stop us from shining bright.

As the Sun and Moon align with the Earth ,it opens a powerful cosmic portal to release what is not working and step into who you truly are. Remember as one door closes another one opens, this is the time to truly let go of what has been holding you back, any fear based energy, old attachments, negative thoughts and feelings about yourself and others so that the new life energy that’s been gestating within can begin to grow.

Pisces says that life’s too short and there’s important non-work to do. “Each day listen to your desires and follow them exclusively. That’s the wisdom of flow. Let your imagination run free. Business can take care of itself.

New Moons are always about New Beginnings and taking action steps towards your dreams, and well we all know how much Pisces love to dream, you will experience , if you have not already leading up to this New Moon vivid, crazy and very trippy dreams. Pisces represents our unconscious, subconscious mind, emotional nature, and inherited emotional patterns that keep us prisoner within our own psyche & life and this is highlighted in your dreams, your day dreams and repetitive thoughts and crazy notions you may of been experiencing over the past week and will continue to experience over the next two weeks until we get to the Full moon and Lunar eclipse on March 23rd , 2016. The wishes you make under this New moon  now may indeed be super-powered, New  Moons are potent times, especially if you want to visit the invisible world , forge  alliances with the gods,

The solar eclipse, will use the energy of the  the Moon which is intuition, wordless and irrational to  overpower your creative center and power which is the the Sun.so  make a note of your hunches or your premonitions  today and see what transpires. Play around with tarot or Angel cards, try and guess who is calling before you pick up, tap into the mystical energies that are flowing, have fun, relax and take it all as it comes.

If during this period people from the past or the present appear on the scene, and to behave in inexplicable ways, don’t resist them just understand the cosmic influences this Super New Moon has , and can affect people differently. Some things have surfaced to let you know that it may not be healed like you thought, or a situation or relationship has not quiet taught you what you needed to learn , use the healing energy of Pisces and the New Moon to bring forth change and new beginnings.  Some people may be withdrawn and lethargic and some may be energised and over the top, just ride the magical Pisces wave and have a little giggle and let it go.

“As the Ocean tides ebb and flow, the inner rhythms of your feelings move in harmony to this flow. Spiritual Waters nourish the parts within that are dry, empty or are withering away”

So enjoy this Combined potency of the New Moon in Pisces and the Total Solar Eclipse. Embrace the super-energized ultra sensitivity being experienced during this time. ts potential, super charged new beginnings with clarity, conscious awareness, It is important to be in touch with feelings, Spirituality, peace and  compassion Surrender is a big theme.
