Are you suffering symptoms of Mercury Retrograde?

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

Yes , we are in a Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde is great at helping bring to our attention those shadow parts of us, parts we may of felt that didn’t need healing. Mercury retrograde is great at highlighting where the healing lies and the truth can be found. In Mercury Retrograde communication, travel, technology, equipment, travel and contracts can be upside down, backwards, misinterpreted, breakdowns and unnecessary disagreements occur.

At work, you can find yourself frustrated even though you’re sure that you’ve explained yourself clearly, people around you do the opposite and your fail-proof computer crashes. You experience equipment and mechanical breakdowns of all types even at home, when out and your car!

Mercury does rule the mind, mental clarity, talking, self-expression so all these over this period can become  unreliable, filled with misinformation where important data is missing or misunderstood. During this period we should watch for too hasty communications as Mercury rules our communications and thought process and well in Aires we can become very direct ,assertive and self-centered. Say what must be said but try to remember to do so with kindness and compassion.

Mercury Retrograde in Aires gives us the courage to take action on something you have struggled with over the past few weeks. What curve balls have you been dealing with over the past month? What repetitive issues seem to be surfacing? Career, a friendship, your living circumstance, a draining relationship?

If you  have found yourself or parts of yourself being exposed, and in order to work on yourself you are stressed you must remember that you also need to love yourself unconditionally. When there is a lot going on give yourself some space, as much as the mind wants order, you will find when too much is going on we get agitated and stressed. When there is times of stress you must remember you are feeling a lot of things, so give yourself some space. Give yourself permission to experience those emotions instead of categorising it, organising it. Just let what needs to be revealed,happen. In these topsy upside and can be dark days of stress and frustration use your energy and see the small joys and blessing in your day. Even though you may be suffering and want to go on strike, see the small happy moments in the day and the lesson in the bad situations! Don’t stuff your feelings away,

The discomfort  and madness we are going through and experience on any level in Mercury Retrograde or not there is a choice to choose love and happiness! You can love someone and be mad, you can be frustrated but still caring, go with the flow, be present to everything that’s going on during this period, and don’t disqualify it because there is discomfort!! It often takes deep courage to admit to your mistakes and it is likely that is a necessary part of the conversation you must have. We all make mistakes, take responsibility and move forward with determination and love.

The Moon entered Scorpio.

The Moon in Scorpio conjunts Jupiter in Scorpio and Mercury in Scorpio.

As the Moon begins her trek through mysterious Scorpio, you can feel the intensity in the air rise! When the Moon is in Scorpio the energy is passionate, deeply intimate and things will be felt on a deep personal level today! Feeling stuck anywhere in your life? Well good news Scorpio is great at uncover the hidden, we are great at reading between the lines and getting to the bottom of things. Today most of the day is quiet in regards to the cosmos, so what a perfect day to get personal.

The Moon in Scorpio conjunts Jupiter in Scorpio. Not only do we have Scorpio energy playing on our emotions and mood (The Moon) we have the planet of expansion and abundance ( Jupiter) in Scorpio, so feelings and emotions will become very strong. We may act out on emotional impulses and some may think the world is against them or play ” victim”.

Today will also be a great day of self discovery, connecting with your self and your environment will help you truly figure out what you want , what your about and how you want to go about making changes to reach these dreams.

Not only do we see this conjunction between Jupiter and the Moon, but we also see them joining with Mercury in Scorpio. The communication planet in Scorpio means that our thinking and conversation could heat up, become serious and passionate! Be warned that the results of your words and thoughts can go both ways, and some things said and done today can have a larger impact than you expected. It will also be a great morning to allow healing to come through words expressed, journal writing and exploring your inner deep self.

Happy Friday.

HAve a great weekend.

Wednesday is about self care and nurturing! 11/10/2017

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Wednesday October 11th, 2017.

The Moon is in Cancer.

Mars in Virgo squares Saturn in Sagittarius.

When you wake up this morning, the Moon will have entered nurturing Cancer while you slept. The Moon rules over Cancer, and the Moon is all about our emotions, making this a day to settle into your feelings. Cancer loves to seek and provide comfort. Cook for yourself, make a romantic meal or feed your friends. Today the energy is wonderful to show love and warmth to everyone you meet, stranger or not.

Aggressive Mars form a challenging square aspect to restrictive Saturn. This will create some friction between the planet that rules our will and drive and the Master planet of limitation, lessons and Karma. You may experience frustration and aggravation today, if you feel as the whole world is against you, what a great  warning or a sign to slow down and resist the temptation to react or respond without thinking things through! The key to today is to slow down and take things steady, if you feel situations or emotions are getting out of your control, take a walk, clear your mind. Let your actions today be taken with discernment, an open heart and integrity and not from an impulse, reaction and  irritability!

The past few days have been deeply challenging and comfort is one thing you can do with and offer use the Moon in Cancer to nurture yourself and others, retreat to the comfort of your home and loved ones today if it gets too much!.

Happy Wednesday Gang!

Jupiter enters Scorpio 10/10/17

Jupiter enters Scorpio.

What a massive shift we experience today, as lucky Jupiter leaves harmonious Libra and enters into sassy Scorpio, where it will spend the next year expanding and enlarging the qualities of Scorpio. Jupiter is the planet of luck, expansion,success and abundance! Jupiter has just spent a year in harmonious, balanced, diplomatic and relationship oriented Libra. Now, as she enters Scorpio, we will experience the qualities of Scorpio expanding over the coming year until November 2018.

Jupiter is moving from an air sign into a water sign. Air signs energy is great for communication, exchanging of ideas, networking, being very light, very superficial and social. Scorpio is a fixed water sign, as a fixed sign Scorpio is more grounded and solid, it’s about control and handling of ones feelings and emotions, its intelligent and very influential to other people as they are emotionally stable, intuitive and grounded.

Pluto is the planet that rules over mysterious Scorpio, and Pluto is about transformation, birth and death. It’s about looking at the bigger picture, healing, intuition and imagination, making deep genuine relationships and making universal connections.

Jupiter in Scorpio is also exceptional for empowering ourselves, entering into deep journeys to discover ones self.  Scorpio also rules all things taboo (or things society deems taboo) like sex, power, money, darker things in life, death and control. Jupiter in Scorpio can help our self to become empowered in these areas and face any fears we may also have in these areas. It  can also be great for deepening  intimacy and partnerships, from romantic but also business and financial.

Scorpio is a great sign to teaches us to go deep within. Scorpio has the gift to look into the eye of darkness, it has the ability to uncover hidden truths, uncover secrets and to destroy what is not working in order for full transformation to occur. When Jupiter is in Scorpio its expanding this energy, its magnifying our ability to go deep within, focus on your self and the emotional side of life. We can learn so much about our self in Scorpio. It would be very handy to look at your chart, Consider what house holds Scorpio, to understand where expansion and transformation will be building in your life during this time.

However, Scorpio can be very intense, and form very intense relationships. Jealously can arise as well as distrust, anger, power control and power plays in relationships. Be aware that over the coming year you will feel things more deeply, you may act out on an emotional impulse. If you are one who is more sensitive to emotions, anxiety or prone to arguments, anger, and love deep take care of yourself and be aware we are entering into an emotional time.

 This coming year can be an amazing one for growth and evolution!

Have a great day!

Transformation and healing! 09/10/2017.

Mercury squares Pluto in Capricorn.

The Sun In Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn.

The Moon is in Gemini.

Today begins with the communication and thought-provoking, Mercury forming a challenging square to transformative, dark Pluto. The Sun in Libra also squares powerful Pluto today. These aspects will bring some pretty intense energy into relationships, communication and more! Today there isn’t much I can say that may lighten the mood in regards to the challenges we may face during this period. In early January of this year, the Sun joined with Pluto, and it began for many of us a cycle of deep, powerful transformation. Now it is in its third quarter square aspect, it is a time when we will all begin a process of letting go. We should be preparing to dive even deeper than we ever have over the coming year.We will be feeling these energies all day long and can be felt in a very strong way.

Pluto is the planet that relates to death, birth and transformation. It energy embodies all that is powerful and hidden. Pluto is great for seeing the shadow and hidden parts of us and digging deep getting to the truth of matters. It will be more of benefit for you to look directly into the eye of any darkness in your life. Especially any areas or issues you think that you have dealt with or have buried deep within. Where are you questioning issues of trust and safety? Where are you feeling the bitterness of past hurts or anguish.

However these aspects may have a negative side, it needs to make us aware of power or control dynamics around you, within you and your relationship around you. Also, manipulation and certain domination traits may be highlighted within yourself or others. Today is a day to best deal with whats in front of you, and not to completely bury your head in the sand. Honor your struggle and the encounters others are facing during this time. Take the extra step to show up with kindness today and face the world with courage in all circumstances.

The Moon is in chatty, light-hearted and witty Gemini. When the Moon is in Gemini we are upbeat, communication is sharp and we are energetic. This aspect will keep any issues we want to smooth out light and manageable.

Happy Monday!

Can you feel the energy of the Full Moon building? 04/10/2017

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

 

Wednesday October 4th, 2017.

The Moon is in Pisces.

the Moon in Pisces conjoin Chiron in Pisces.

As you wake up this morning, the Moon is still in dreamy, elusive Pisces. Early this morning the Moon in Pisces conjoin Chiron in Pisces. With all this Pisces energy floating around what a good time to dig deep spiritually and find hidden wounds that need healing, especially ones we had buried deep down within, has any unsolved issue or thought been popping up lately? Maybe its time to sit down and review the facts. If we can’t heal we can’t evolve. Hay, No better time to do this than before a Full Moon, it’s a great time to find out what no longer serves a purpose in your life, or what needs to be transmuted and healed for your higher good.

Today, remember that you must allow compassion and understanding not only to yourself but others you come across, show kindness to everyone you meet. However, remember Pisces is great at playing the victim, especially in regards to self-sacrificing and playing the martyr ,this is the key to remember today use the Sun in Libra to see all situations and conflicts from all sides, find the balance and be fair and just. Seek out harmony in your surroundings.

Later this evening the Moon will enter Aires, where tomorrow it will reach it fullest. This means we leave behind the sensitive, soft and emotional Pisces and enter an energy of a more direct, assertive and a confident manner. Over the next few days don’t be surprised if you find yourself become more courage’s, energetic and bold. If you find the energy is very up and down, get outside this afternoon and shake it off with some exercise, a walk or a bike ride either with a friend or some will just want some time alone to process everything.

Can you feel the build up to the Full Moon tomorrow? I surly have not slept well all week and have had the weirdest yet coolest dreams. Intrigued on what tomorrow brings up and out for all of us.

 

Happy Wednesday!

Here we go! The Full Solar Eclipse we have waited for is finally here! 21/08/2017

New Moon Solar Eclipse.

Good Morning, here we go! The Full Solar Eclipse we have waited for is finally here!

Today we experience the New Moon Solar Eclipse! The Sun and Moon align with each other this afternoon in the sign of Leo. This New Moon is a total Solar Eclipse, oh La La  and this can affect our lives for the coming six months.

Leo is the sign of confidence, romance, enthusiasm , fun, creativity, recreation, sports and being playful. All of Leo positive aspects will be extra highlight during this New Moon. However on the more negative side of Leo aggression, arrogance, and selfishness energy can also be floating around. The New Moon will be pulling in these energies during this solar eclipse and the effects will be lasting for six months, so this is why this solar eclipse is so important.

This eclipse will be making us really look deep into who we are, what we stand for, what your passions are, your desires and goals. It will also have you questioning what you want out of life and what changes need to be made. Major developments in the personal areas ruled by Leo in your chart are likely to occur over the course of the next 3-6 months, so don’t forget to check your chart!

What is your identity? You will have a strong desire to focus on a personal level. New Moons are all about new beginnings, planting seeds of intention, growth, change and healing. New Moons are a great time, especially when solar eclipse in the sign of Leo are involved that we can focus on, and uncover our unique creative powers, building our self-confidence, and make a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner.

Use the Leo energy and incorporate it in your manifestations this month. Where do you need to re commit, or find your enjoyment, rekindle a romance and find more time for ” Play” in your life.  Do you need more time for leisure in your busy schedule? or the need for a more progressive change in your life?

Today take some time out and access your life, look at your flaws as they may reveal where and in what area in your life needs a boost. It will give you a prompt to what needs re doing or what we need to start afresh! Happy New Moon wishing!

Happy New Moon Day!

Power struggles, as Jupiter Squares Pluto. 04/08/2017

Published on by andycandypants3 Comments

Friday, August 4, 2017.

The Moon is in Capricorn.

 Jupiter in Libra squares retrograde Pluto in Capricorn.

The Moon is in mature Capricorn. The Capricorn Moon does its best to keep  a level head and reasoning on the table but it will be a challenge. Do your best today to maintain some balance and maturity without letting the darker traits of Capricorn surface like pessimism and over ambitiousness. Maintain your integrity!!! Power struggles can get exacerbated right now, especially with this Jupiter/ Pluto square. Today instead, focus on standing centered in your own power and space and have others meet you half way.

Jupiter in Libra squares retrograde Pluto in Capricorn. This is the final in a set of three squares between Jupiter and Pluto that begun in November 2016. We might throw ourselves into working on resolutions or finding harmonious  answers.

The positive aspect of this square is that it has the ability to stimulate our inner ambitions.The energy fuels us up to set our goals high,high enough that we can achieve anything. This square basically stirs up and creates friction and tension between the planet of transformation and healing, and the planet of expansion! We now see our desire to transform and evolve and realize its not that far to grasp.

However, this Jupiter-Pluto square also stimulates a part in us that may be overreaching. We may take on too many interests, activities, change and desires under this planetary influence. We can place too much pressure and importance on what we want to achieve ignoring our energy and our limits burning the candle at both ends.

The key to managing the energies is to ease up on the pressure we place on ourselves and others, and not to stir up others with our strong point of view and stand point. As we can find the urge to exaggerate our importance or power we hold, either to ourselves or others.

 

Happy Friday!

Have a good weekend.

Mercury enters Virgo! 25/07/2017

The New Moon in Leo will enter Virgo today..

Mercury enters Virgo.

By the time you are up and are moving around today, Mercury the planet that rules our mental realm and communication, has moved from expressive Leo into efficient Virgo.Mercury is the planet rules Virgo along with Gemini FYI.

Virgo energy is very organised, industrious, practical and concerned with others. Mercury will remain in this analytical sign until he enters Libra at the end of September. When Mercury is in Virgo it is a wonderful time to get down to business. Take advantage of this time to get precise, important and efficient work done. Detail to attention, paperwork, effective communication will be a strong point with the planetary placement so don’t waste it! Mercury in Virgo is like a sponge, and with a lot of information  coming in during this period you will be soaking it ALL UP!

Expose yourself all the information that presents itself to you during this period, apply it, understand it and when you are ready use it to your advantage.

The Moon leaves playful Leo and enters Virgo. Virgo Moon is very interested in learning, it loves breaking things down and making sense of things, mastering topics and understanding how things work especially if it can help others solve problems.

The New Moon in Leo only took place a couple of days ago and is still in the New Moon phase! So if you have not yet had the time to write down you New Moon wishes so it’s not too late!

Happy New Moon manifesting.
