MERCURY RETROGRADE in Aires! 22/03/2018

MERCURY RETROGRADE in Aires!

The Moon is in Gemini.

By the time you wake up this morning, the Moon has entered inquisitive, ambitious, intellectual and restless Gemini. While the Moon makes her way through Gemini, you will find that not only yourself but others  tend to be more light-hearted, social and talkative.Gemini in is an Air sign so thoughts and communications come into play today. Curiosity and being alert of your surrounds and the conversations being had will spark your interest,  also you will be more aware and more alert of others intentions. However, today being Mercury Retrograde  don’t be surprised if your communications or you normally quick ways if thinking somehow fall flat.

Mercury, the communication and mental realm planet that rules Gemini turns Retrograde This may leave you feeling somehow stuck in your communications in the way you think, your travel plans, business plans, home  loans and contracts.

During this period we may struggle or have some difficulties saying what we want to say, or saying things that leave you wondering” Why the hell did I just say that, i didn’t mean it in that context” well that’s if you can even manage to get the words out.

Keys to remember during this Mercury Retrograde…

  • It is best not to start new projects, but it is a great time to reconsidering an initiative venture or project. It’s great for coming up with new ideas and adventures, but remember do not pursue them yet!!! Dream, draw up plans, make list get the all the  information together first and review review review! It’s also strong time for returning, revisiting and rethinking an old project or pursuit you have left on the back burner.We can gain new clarity during  this upside down period!
  • The shortness of  Aries communications is magnified making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of topics and wording. The chances of sharp or  harsh comments can do some damage in the long run.
  • Mercury rules information, communication, reasoning, our manner of thinking, travel, technology, logic and how we express all of these! Its our thought processes and all Mercury related things right now can be off-center. It may feel difficult to say what you want to say, and you can leave conversations  wondering if you were understood. Communications are scrambled. Expected the unexpected and clarify all that you do, travel plans, communication , instructions, save and back up your work and even get people to relay what you have just said to them to avoid mishaps. And if you don’t get whats being said relay it back! everyone is experience this Mercury Retrograde!
  • As I mention Mercury is related to technology so for the next month if you can avoid it, it is not the best time to buy a phone, new computer or tv.
  • Signing your life away for a new home, a lease, car or any contracts BE CARE read all the information, as not all the information is not in yet or could be missing. Human error, computer error and Mercury error is in play and we do not want to regret doing anything later.

When Mercury Retrograde is in Aries, our mind and thoughts are going at a thousand miles an hour! Everything is GO GO GO, we may get frustrated if people are not thinking or doing as quick as we are. Aries energy when communicating is magnified.. EEk making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of words, tones and topics.There will be a chances that we may become sharp, blunt or unemotional when making comments and this can do damage. If you feel like you can’t get out of your head and its building up to a point of frustration and you want to explode take a breath, go for a walk, exercise and take some time to reign your thoughts! Do not let your temper, stubborn, impulsive mind take over your mind and how we communicate to others. Aires Mercury Retrograde has the ability to make us feel as what we say and feel is the right way, and have the arrogance to ignore the facts, When people who question our logic and reasoning we can act impulsively and aggressively! As my mother also told me ” Andy THINK before you speak or act ”

 

Some say this will be a time of tension, however, we need to remember the positive side of  Mercury in Aries. Mercury in Aires wants progress, answers, no more procrastination. Its time to push our self to make those positive steps to benefit our self in the long run. Get through obstacles, push our own boundaries, be selfish for once.We have the courage to get the message across and speak up for our self when normally we would sit in silence. When Mercury is in Aires especially when its stationed retrograde we have a great opportunity  to taker a step back and have a deeper look at our past decisions, patterns, behaviors and ideas from a new and possibly enlightening  perspective. Change is highly possible!

Please ,carefully consider how to manage the turbulent energy of Aires this Mercury Retrograde which continues until April 15th. Remember, Mercury retrograde is a powerful time for accomplishment if you plan and prepare accordingly. Something I really need to take note on!

Happy Mercury Retrograde gang!

This is a No Rush day! 21/3/2018.

Crescent Moon in Taurus.

The Moon in Taurus opposes Jupiter.

Today the Moon is still in steadfast grounded Taurus. The Moon and Taurus go really well together.They are both creatures of comfort and habit! Today allows your heart to embrace the excitement and pleasure of the finer things in life, such as food, relaxing, entertainment, treating yourself to the naughtier things in life or by simply enjoying all the beauty that is all around you. Sensual pleasures and activities along those lines appeal now more than usual, as Taurus is ruled by Venus who is all about love! Taurus is a fixed, Earth sign that represents being grounded, reliability, growth and appreciation. A lesson we could learn today is patience, acceptance and to bring beauty into our lives. Such as buying some fresh flowers for the house or a scented candle or some art. We could be kinder to yourself and others, give someone the benefit of the doubt or treat yourself to a massage.

The Moon in Taurus opposes Jupiter. Jupiter is the lucky planet of expansion and abundance but when these to opposes each other we’re tempted to go overboard on any activity that is taking our fancy., especially if it is to combat boredom. Taurus as I have mention is ruled by Venus who is also about money and finances and with Jupiter in play we may go over board on our spending! So watch your wallet today and watch yourself overindulging especially if you are trying to watch your weight as over eating and drinking is a major possibility today!

Also, remember guys tomorrow Mercury stations retrograde in fiery Aires until April 15th. If you have noticed  communication breakdowns, travel plans muddled up and technology mishaps have been occurring this week it is because we are leading up to Mercury retrograde. Our communication and thought process could get a tad feisty, egotistic and forceful more than normal during this period. A good way to keep your mind clear is to prepare and choose your battles wisely ! Start a list of all projects or anything else that needs to be done or has been left undone over the past few months, ponder on them and don’t relaunch them until this period of Mercury Retrograde is over! Don’t sign any official documents  unless its necessary! Consider yourself warned!

 

Have a great day!

Equinox season! Resurrection, rebirth and renewal. 20/03/2018

The Sun moves out of Pisces and into Aries.

The Moon is in Taurus.

The Spring and Autumn equinox

Today marks the Spring/ Autumn equinox. Depending where you are in this lovely world. Spring in the northern hemisphere and  fall/autumnal equinox in the southern hemisphere.

As I live in Australia its our Autumn Equinox. Autumn holds not only a physical change of the weather and land, but holds a spiritually unique place within all of us. Autumn isn’t about death and decay of our surroundings its more than that! It is about change and endings. Endings not just of seasons  but of our inner and outer world.

Remember every journey must find its end, crops are harvested, plants wither and even as the natural world begins to fade before us, we make sure to align ourselves to the progression and change of the seasons furthermore our self internally. This is a great time to have a self review, figure out what needs changing or letting go of! What is blocking you or getting in your way? Let it wither like nature around you.

For all you guys up north the Spring Equinox is a about new beginnings, a magical exciting time of planting seeds, setting intentions and starting new cycles, with the added bonus of the New Moon energy you really can make positive changes and achieve your dreams.

The Moon moves into a more steady and solid place today as she transits  into reliable, grounded Taurus. Making it a great day to enjoying creature comforts, over doing it on food, wine and focusing on what things you can bring into your life that would make you happier and more comfortable! Beauty and safety is the key today!

The Sun moves out of Pisces and into Aries. As the Sun makes her entrance into Aries our self and ego will get an extra boost of strength, leadership, will power, shine. We may become more dominant and want to take charge. No obstacle will stand in our way or our power! However, on the shadow side of this “go and get them sign” becoming overly ambitious, having too much pride, overly self-expressional and disregarding others opinions and feelings. we also tend to become very confident and cocky. This sign is very much “I am therefore I am” and it always  comes back to me, myself and I. Take the good and balance it out with the rest! Be strong but no forceful, be a leader not a dictator.

The shift is  palpable for everyone!

New Moon in Pisces! Profound Healing is happening! 17/03/201.

New Moon in Pisces.

Saturday, 17th we had a New Moon in Pisces. A New Moon is when the Moon is black! At this lunar point, the Moon is recharging and getting prepared for its next Lunar cycle. This New Moon will be recharging and pulling in Pisces energy. This New moon energy is going to be very welcomed one! Its positive, it’s that feeling of “finally the fog is lifted” and we are returning back to our normal state. Connection, passion, our drive, it’s the return of you. Have you felt like you have retreated and hidden over last few months ?learning lessons, expanding, experiencing growth? Even if it has made you uncomfortable, unsure, unsafe, some of you may of experienced heartache and difficult challenges? However those periods of discomfort have got you to a point now that you can appreciate the return of yourself! I know I have felt over the past week that my dreams, desires, my inner light has sparked back up again. It’s a nice feeling to be me again. If you, like many of us have been challenged in the lead up to this New Moon, just remember you don’t need to suffer alone by trying to solve your challenge. Ask for help, assistance, advise and healing. Surrender your burdens, to whom ever you talk to, your family, friends, angels, guides, the universe, god or your ancestors.

This is a time to slow down, take a breath remember who you are. Take a moment to go inwards for revelations and reflections. Breath and release any and all tension! Its been a tough firy few months for everyone!

As we know Pisces is a water sign, its connections are to anything mystical, spiritual, imagination, emotional, intuitive and creative. Pisces is also about be of service to others. The Moon and Sun both will both sit at 26 degrees. If we add up two and six we get eight. Eight in numerology is a power play number! This New Moon in Pisces will be, in a sense a very powerful one and will be pulling in extra powerful Pisces energy. Being around others, sharing your dreams, dreaming up creations and projects, day dreaming about the future and building up others will be a high priority. Do you have a passion for something? Cooking? photography? Art? Music? People? Mysticism? This New Moon is going to help you get your creative intuitive juices flowing!

This New Moon pay attention to your dreams, psychic imprints repetitive numbers symbols, situations and thoughts. Tune into your energy and especially tune into others to get more of an idea of the people around you. Become selfless and give your self in a way that benefits everyone. This Pisces New Moon will really help people of service, such as nurses, medical professionals, careers, artist, volunteers etc.. Pisces being a water sign is all about nurturing , love and being caring. As you write your New Moon manifestation list try to incorporate these qualities and energies into your wish list.

As I have mentioned it’s the power of the eight energy so you will feel things more deeply, passionately, intently. You may feel more in love with life, fall in love, deepen your love for someone. You will feel compassion for others and feel attractions strongly. However with every up there is a down, we may feel the more negative side of Pisces, such as feeling negative emotions. If someone criticizes you, does not reciprocate your feelings or communications, you may get jealous, or if you experience rejection you will feel this on a much larger scale.

This New Moon in Pisces conjunct Chiron. As the New Moon conjuncts Chiron it brings awareness and a focus on healing and enlightenment. It also illuminates those dark deep wounds and pains that need healing along with any repressed emotions. As we release and heal we let go of situations that bound us down and restrict us for being free, from having to be in control. Ask for divine intervention if needed!

This New Moon is going to have the ability to free us, it will be the return of you. Blocks will be lifted so when you write down your manifestation list incorporate your dreams, any healing needed, compassion, what you want for others or world peace. Be grateful for what you have and focus on working on what you can manifest that benefits everyone around you!

Happy New Moon manifesting!

Sharing ideas and progressive thoughts will benefit you today! 14/03/18

The Moon is in Aquarius.

Retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio semi squares Saturn in Capricorn.

The Moon continues its transit through independent, tech savvy Aquarius today. This makes for a friendly, engaging,  interesting but basically quiet day.You may discover with this lunar and Aquarius energy that you are able to  open your mind to areas of thinking that have not been available to you in the past or you may have had blockages to in the past. Use this Air energy and get exploring, discover the unusual, experience the new. Talk to others that you may before were not interesting you will be pleasantly surprised. Share those ideas you learn and listen to what others are sharing as well.

Retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio semi squares Saturn in Capricorn. This does cause some tension and can create friction between our reality, our day dreams and the excitement of the bigger picture. Saturn  in Capricorn wants order and structure, whilst Jupiter on the other hand wants to explore, expand and go deep into the unknown. Today just act before we think and think before we act,. Ask yourself  is this really the best for me and the people involved in the situations or conversations you have with others today! Jupiter is here to remind us that we need to grow and expand in order to change, but Saturn is also here to remind us to be practical and make these changes for our greater good.

 

Happy Hump day gang!

Venus in Aries squares Saturn in Capricorn.

The Sun in Pisces trines retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio.

Today will give us a mixed bag of emotions and experiences. The energy will continues to bring us face to face with excitement or anxiety t of differing points of view. Keep your chin up, have faith and a mind open and try to see things from different perspectives.

Venus, the planet of love, finances and beauty, forms a challenging Square to restrictive, mastery and determined Saturn.Venus and Saturn will make us get real and it gets us to ask our self when it comes to relationships, Love and Money what do we value? What is our self-worth? What are we happy to put up with and compromise with?Although Saturn can bring up tense feelings, it will bring awareness to any issue or limitations in these areas and can bring you to a place of peace.This placement will hold us in its grip for several days but it is going to highlight what is working and what isn’t. Remember, it  is important to consider what actions you will or can take to move forward or progress during this cycle.

Today the Sun in Pisces forms a flowing trine to Jupiter  in Scorpio. This cycle first happened last year in October 2017, it was very shortly after Jupiter entered Scorpio to be fact. Expect optimism, excitement and confidence as these are key energies we will feel during this transit.This Trine aligns the planet of abundance and expansion with our higher ego and self! We are able now to see our gifts from a deeper perspective, we see and feel deeper and we have an urge to experience the world around us. This time is great for spiritual and emotional work, we desire to grow, increase our luck, expand, have fun, travel and have faith in life!

Have a great day, count your blessing and simple smile and enjoy your day!

Yin or Yang! 12/03/18.

Monday 12th March 2018.

The Moon is in Aquarius.

The Aquarius Moon squares Uranus in Aires.

The Aquarius Moon forms a harmonizes with the Sun in Pisces and Jupiter in Scorpio.

The Moon moves from strict, focused Capricorn into Aquarius. The Moon in Aquarius is very quick to think, intelligent and creative. It is a day to embrace your quirky self. It is also a great to get out and mingle with unusual and different social groups! Communication, technology and being of service to the greater good will also be high on your priority list today.

The Aquarius Moon squares Uranus in Aires. The planet of rebellion and self-absorption loves being in the Aires,as they are both focused on me, what am I to gain and how will I achieve my goals and progress. Just remember when Uranus comes to the table to play expect the unexpected!!!!

The Aquarius Moon sextiles the Sun in Pisces. The Sun in Pisces energy is also very spiritual and being a water sign it’s all bout being self-sacrificing to others needs, especially emotional needs! This easy flowing aspect is great if you want to get in touch with your needs or the needs of others. Especially if you have been having troubles seeing where other people come from!

The Moon sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio. Jupiter in Scorpio is all about good luck and abundance coming to you in the form of listening to your inner dreams and feelings and once you get to the bottom of emotional truths you will begin to grow and shine! Expansion of self is really possible today if your dreams include helping others and being of service. Whether it’s through your work, art, music or just helping a stranger out!

Today with the selfless, giving Moon conflicting with Uranus that is all about me, will leave us torn somewhere in the middle! Pulling at our heart-strings on whether you progress forward or you help others opt move forward. The energy is pushing us to either listen to our feelings or should I follow my own path and do something that will benefit myself in the long run!

 

Either way I hope you have a great day!

The Quarter Moon is Sagittarius.

The Sun in Pisces squares the moon in Sadge.

Early this morning we reach the 3rd Quarter Moon phase in Sagittarius. The Quarter Moon can be stressful if you let it! It’s a time that  raises issues that need dealing with. Is there a theme that keeps repeating itself or just trying to get your attention? Is their conflict, tension between you and someone else perhaps? Are you hitting road blocks in projects? A problem can not be solved by ignoring it, so this is the time to make peace with yourself and deal with whatever issues are coming up!

The Sagittarius Moon will form a stressful square aspect between the Sun in Pisces and it’s highlighting for us to let go of something that has been developing over the past 3 weeks. Sadge and Pisces are mutable signs, adaptable signs which means for us we can compromise, agree and see things from all sides and we have the ability to let go of issues easily.

The theme for today is to get over it and let things go! Shake it off and have a great weekend!

Have a great day!

Action Orientated Energy! Aires is the Name of the Game Today!06/03/2018.

 Venus moves out of Pisces and into Aries.

Mercury enters Aires.

By the time you awake today much like last night, Mercury had entered assertive, head strong Aries. Mercury has been in Pisces since February 17th, encouraging a dreamy, passive and imaginative thought processes and communication vibe. Now that Mercury is in Aires that dream like illusion state of the past month is broken and the energy increases and intellectual stimulation is about to surface and push our boundaries. Mercury retrograde begins on March 22nd and that means Mercury will remain in Aries until May 13, as it moves through a Aires than retrogrades back through Aires. if there is something that you have not had the courage to say or do now is the time!

Today also brings lovely Venus out of Pisces and into Aries. The Goddess of love and beauty picks up the pace and leaves that dream and  fantasy state of Pisces and brings us to a time to face up to reality. The energy moves from water to fire, from laid back to passionate! Light up the inner goddess and God!  Venus in Aries is very focused on pursuing her own desires and wants, last month is was about pleasing others and now its the time to please our self! It is also a great time to get clear on your individual values, business and personal relations and finances. Use this time to take the steps necessary to make your relationship and your finances work over the coming months. it’s now a time to push forward in all your endeavors.

However, Aires energy tends to be very self orientated, so please just watch out for the shadow of Venus and Mercury in Aires such as aggression, being selfish, and overly only focused on our own needs and desires  at the expense of others.

 

Happy Tuesday!

This Scorpio Moon sextiles Saturn in Capricorn

The Moon enters Scorpio.

Mercury enters Aires.

The Moon leaves behind balanced harmonious Libra and enters Sassy Scorpio this afternoon. The Moon in Scorpio is deep, we gain emotional intelligence and we are  in touch  with our intuition. We also can gain perspective of others motives and intentions.

This Scorpio Moon sextiles Saturn in Capricorn. Saturn is about Karma, life lessons and structure, and in Capricorn is about how we lay these foundations and work towards our goals. That means today with the Scorpio energy added into the mix that the decisions we make today will be based off our emotional feelings.

Mercury moves out of Pisces and into Aries. The planet that rules over our communication and metal realm in Aires means that we can get very firm and pushy in the way we want to get our message across. the energy shifts from yin to yang, from feminine to masculine. Communication will be passionate and persistence this month! We can be blunt and to the point it I our thoughts and communication with others. This is a great transit for saying what we think and doing what we want as it will be important for us to get our truth out there. However, be careful in how you speak or the message you are trying to get across and you may tend to be unfiltered today and during this transit! Just remember we have to be aware of how we speak or act and without haste or impulsively in the coming weeks. Don’t put your foot where your mouth is!

Today our feelings will be heightened and that will be the most import aspect of your day today in terms of what you do today, so plans and decisions will be based on your emotions today not facts and figures.

Happy Monday!
