Today is a BIG DEAL!! A LUNAR ECLIPSE 27/7/18

Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 4° Aquarius.

Full Moon blessings, everyone. Today brings us to the big deal a Lunar Eclipse big deal. Today is the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 4° Aquarius. A Lunar Eclipse always occurs on a Full Moon and is basically an amped-up magnified Full Moon on steroids. This eclipse is extra potent astronomically as it’s the longest total lunar eclipse in the 21st century, how exciting. This Full Moon is known as a Blood Moon and its energy is steering us in a direction of change and progress.

A Full Moon is where the Sun and Moon are sitting at 180 degrees from each other. The Moon is completely illuminated and thus showers us with its Luna energy here on earth. Traditionally a Full Moon is a completion point of the lunar cycle and is when the Moon recharges its batteries. We also experience a burst of strong energy as the Moon is highlighted with the Suns energy and that is why people here on earth can act strange or loony during a Full Moon.a Total Lunar Eclipse, is when  the Earth passes between the Sun & the Moon, the Earth with block the Suns rays from FULLY reaching the Moon, thus the Moon is fully cast within Earth’s shadow.

The Total Lunar Eclipse at 4’44 Aquarius is right smack on aggressive and sharp Mars retrograde on the karmic south node and comes in close contact to rebellious Uranus. These are very volatile energies coming into play. This also means for us we have some MAJOR  intensification of the karmic energies we are working with or through. I wont lie these next few days has the potential to cause emotional distress and detachment as Aquarius energy offers perspective and even indifference or distance if necessary.The difficulties deep rooted in this eclipse may unfold in our personal circumstances or you may watch it unfold in the outer world. Pay attention!

We also have Mars at closest alignment with Earth from July 27th-31st. He will appear to us  the brightest he has been since 2003 and a fun fact Mars will outshine Jupiter by 1.8 times.

Mars Retrograde is going to be a time when many of us are faced with shadow work. It’s main focus and a chance for us to change will be transforming our relationship, within and without of us. Unfortunately these shadow aspects are going to bring up certain dynamics around our ego, anger, jealously, aggression and rage in our personal relationships, but it does give us a chance to bring any underlying issues to light for transformation and change. Watch your temper and the urge to snap at those you love. Remember that trying to be all things to all people vs having real relationships is about finding a balance without giving to much away or alternatively taking to much for others. Aquarius luna energy means we will be more independent and creative whilst seeking change and being service to others.

As I mentioned this eclipse forms a square to Uranus, and Uranus loves to present us with the most unexpected plot twist! Today can be a sense of surprise, shock, or frustration as we get answers or revolutions into the emotions we’re confronted now with the eclipse.This Full Moon eclipse detach from others and your own mind and let go.

Look for the area or house in your chart that holds 4° Aquarius. This will highlight and indicates the area of life that requires a great deal of attention over the coming months. Remember this Eclipse energy can be felt for months after the event has happened. A new story or a change in the story in this area of life will develop from what occurs now. So pay attention.

This Full Moon the energy is steering us in a direction of change and progress. keep your eyes open as you give of yourself to help others. Helping others is the best way to care for yourself. Release what no longer works for you or is holding you down! Breath and let go, try to enjoy this eclipse it truly is a turning point.

Happy full moon day.

Sun Enters Libra! 22/09/2017.

The Moon in Libra eneters into Scorpio.

The Sun enters Libra.

Happy Friday! Today begins with the Moon still in, harmonious, graceful, charming Libra, after which the Moon enters into Scorpio later this afternoon. The Moon in Scorpio is deeply passionate. Scorpio brings intensity and deep introspection to the next few day. Scorpio energy is passionate, mysterious, we gain an increased insight, deep psychological understanding and awareness, attracted to the naughty, taboo areas of life. We seek out the hidden message now!

The Sun leaves Virgo and enters into Libra, Happy Birthday Libra! Where it will transit until October 23rd. Our attention now moves from perfection, organisation and service to balance, diplomacy and social charm. Libra is the sign of partnership, balance, peace, pleasure and beauty in all areas of our life! The Sun in Libra focus is to meet people half way, create harmony, to compromise and collaborate with others. Over the coming month, you will want to deepen your romantic connections, strengthen your business and work relationships, create beauty and pleasure in your home. However on the shadow side Libra, they can be very very indecisive, energy can be very back and forward, superficial, self-serving and passive-aggressive,

The Sun moving  into Libra signifies we are entering into the September equinox. Today  initiates us down south in Australia we entering into our spring and for the Northern hemisphere your Fall . An equinox are days when it is equal day to equal night. Us down here in the Southern Hemisphere, the September equinox  is the vernal (spring) equinox. Astronomically, it is considered as the first day of spring here. In the Northern Hemisphere,  the September equinox is the autumnal equinox marking the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. This is a great time for everyone to take stock of what has been going on, all that has come before us and what direction we want to head towards ( Think back to the December equinox, what has come into your life, what have you achieved, what lessons have you learnt and what have you manifested and grown). The saying goes “as you reap so shall ye sow”. Basically guys… Right now gives you much-needed insight into what has led you up to this point and what, if anything, needs to change for your future. Added bonus we had the New Moon this week, so get writing and manifesting what abundance and changes you want for the coming month, two months and to the next equinox! Exciting times ahead.

This evening after work or play, get a scented candle, bring home flowers, arrange them beautifully. This is the perfect time to prepare and encourage the growth of all beauty in your life. Spring clean the house and create a loving, warm environment! Weave your magic throughout your home and work space.

 

Have a great day and a better weekend!

Can you Feel The Power Surge? 26/7/17

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

Wednesday July 26th, 2017.

The Sun in Leo conjunts Mars in Leo.

The Moon is inVirgo.

 

With the Sun in Leo conjunting Mars in Leo, the real action builds throughout the day to its climax, as we have a lot of Leo energy floating around, a lot of fire, passion. This is the beginning of a one-year cycle of illumination of strength, self-determination, and physical energy. When the Sun is in Leo its wonderfully enthusiastic, fun-loving , joyful, playful and happy. When Mars is in Leo, he also wants to have fun and enjoys this fire energy of passion in the Air. Mars energy is about pushing through obstacle, however when in Leo can be over enthusiastic about breaking down boundaries. Mars become the ultimate male icon and over macho and masculine. This energy leads us to instinctively take action. However, Watch out for this energy when dealing with situations and problems today as being over-confident can backfire when used in the wrong context. We could also become very direct and frank, and perhaps somewhat short-tempered and impulsive.

Think of this Sun/Mars aspect as a time to plant a seed of personal strength and perseverance toward a long-held goal.

Today is a powerful day! The day begins with a razor-sharp ability to use our power in an efficient manner as the Moon in Virgo forms a beautiful trine aspect to powerful Pluto. When the Moon is in Virgo,  we’re inclined to see the finer details and flaws around us especially in our work environment. Ideally, this encourages us to solve problems or find common ground to make peace with those around us.

Later tonight that sharpness may halt as the Virgo Moon forms a challenging square to Saturn. This planet of karma and life lessons may make us  wonder if we pushed too hard for something we desired, maybe at the expense of others and also may have the tendency to make us overly critical.

Hope you have a great day.

The Moon enters Gemini

Venus is in Gemini

Mercury in Leo trines Saturn in Sagittarius.

By the time you wake up on this morning, the Moon will no longer be in grounded and  patient Taurus, as she enters inquisitive Gemini. When the Moon is in Gemini we become more commutative and witty. We are able to articulate our feelings, perhaps, at the expense of actually feeling them

Today we see Venus and the Moon in Gemini which support one another. Communication is very open and receptive. Venus and the Moon are all about how your soul feels, what you love and how you go about getting it. This energy is all about exploring, you may want to experience things you never wanted to try before. However it would be wise or have cautious to using this energy especially if you are walking into situations or something new with a blind eye. So best not to sign anything long-term or sign your life away if you don’t really know what the facts are.

Today there may be some confusion,  the Moon moving into Gemini interacts with Mercury in Leo and trines Saturn in Sagittarius. Saturn is responsible for a lot of this fuzziness you feel today. When Mercury is in Leo we are loud, proud and flamboyant but this explosive energy makes us feel stuck, as the path ahead is not yet clear or is difficult to decide on, which in turn is bringing about this confusion. You feel upbeat confident about the future your communication is open and loud but everything seems fuzzy and the content and reason you are proud is not so clear. Today is NOT a good day for long-term decisions, it’s a better day spent communicating and exchange ideas, words and plans.

Have a great day!

Mercury in Leo sextiles Venus in Gemini

The Moon enters Capricorn.

Mercury in Leo sextiles Venus in Gemini. As the planet of communication travel and the way we think and articulate moves through dramatic Leo, it forms a nice sextile aspect to Venus the planet of love, finance and all things beautiful in the sign of expressive, fun-loving Gemini we are encouraged to open up, expand the way we think and who we communicate with. It’s a great time to share our thoughts and feelings with others. The energy this morning is easy-going, carefree and is great for having heart to heart talks. This combination of energies is a splendid way to start the day, and kick off Friday.

The Moon moves into Capricorn today, were it stays for the next couple of days. The Mood changes from the fun adventurous Sagittarius to a dramatic, responsible and committed energy of Capricorn. How is your organisational skill of late? Need to get yourself together? Make a plan? Capricorn is the most organised and ambitious of the sign, do not be surprised if you feel like and accomplish more today than you have all week! It’s a wonderful time to get your life back on track and get your head in order.

Can you feel the building energies of the Full Moon which is now only two days away. The Full Moon is historically a time when your emotions come up to the surface for you to deal with them. The best and easiest way is to acknowledge them, make peace with the past or at least the last month so you can clear yourself out energetically to make room for the many abundance and blessing coming your way.

It will be in the sign of Capricorn, so this is a great time to really get serious and do some planning, really think about where you want to go, where you’ve been and what areas of your life you need to get your act together on.

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!

Mercury is in Sagittarius squaring Neptune in Pisces.

The Moon is in Cancer.

Sun in Scorpio.

Mercury is in Sagittarius and is squaring Neptune in Pisces today. The  Moon in Cancer trines the Sun in Scorpio.  This will be a similar day as yesterday  in term of you  question your direction.. what am I doing? where am I going? how can i help?

Today has the potential to solidify and intensify love and romantic situations. This is really good news for all you love birds out there, especially if things haven’t been so harmonious. So today go on a date, hold hands , snuggle and watch a movie surprise your loved one with something romantic or something they really enjoy… just tell each other how much you love them and appreciate them. It’s a great time to take relationships up to the next level.

The Moon represents our emotional nature and our greatest needs, and when it is situated in sensitive Cancer ( who’s ruling planet is the Moon)  it is important to nurture our own needs, self-care is very important.

The affectionate Cancer Moon forms a magical trine aspect to the Sun in Scorpio. This allows us to bring our guard down and freely explore relationships. Both the light and dark side can be positively expressed today so either explore your naughty sexy side or serve up some loving tender, nurturing qualities to the ones you love.

Mercury in Sagittarius squaring Neptune in Pisces. We can be left feeling confused and even baffled with yourself and others. This is due to these planets squaring, this brings tension between our rational, intellect and logical mind and our irrational, intuitive self. Some may struggle with your own thoughts and find it difficult to have logical and simple conversations with others. Today just try to pay attention to what is true, look at the facts, double-check information and be aware of what is simply imagination or illusion.

Have a great day

Full Moon Ritual

Published on by andycandypants4 Comments

Full moon Ritual

As the full moon is upon us, it’s time to reflect and release those things that no longer serve us. Let go of what you no longer need in your life or any aspect of yourself that you may have outgrown. The moon, being the closest astronomical mass to Earth, has a profound effect on us. When the moon is full, it is at its high tide of power, amplifying energies. The moon traditionally represents the emotional, nurturing, creative and feminine aspect of our lives. When the energy is intense and as powerful as this, it enables you to take action, have you ever felt a pull or an urge leading up to the full moon? Many people feel this intensifying energy, it is a sign that you may need to release energies that no longer serve you, and you can do this by performing a Full moon ritual.

The full moon period is a great time to take action towards your new moon intentions you made two weeks prior and is a great opportunity for some self-reflection. The full moon can shed some light on what could be holding you back and what needs to be released that’s standing in your way .

A Full Moon ritual is a powerful way to invoke the intention of releasing and Letting go. You can purge yourself of any old identities, frame of mind, attitudes, behavior and situations. You may wish to take an inventory of thoughts and beliefs no longer serving you, clean out your possessions. Remember, you can release anything emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually.  Release any addictions such as food or drama, emotional vampires,  unhappiness in your job , relinquishing suffering involved in hurtful relationships.

You can also seek guidance from your spirit guides or angels to help highlight what is ready to be shed from your life. Tools to help you connect with your guides include oracle cards, journaling and automatic writing, or mediation. Trust the guidance that comes to you, your gut instincts are usually right.

Write down all the things you wish to release and give thanks for what it’s already served. After writing them down you can visualise them being released and healed, do this by performing your ritual sitting under the moon or at a window with the moon shining down.

 What you need

Pen, paper, lighter, candle, small bowls (if you intend on burning your notes) , water, sage and other personal objects such as crystals.

  1. Create a sacred space. Find a quiet, clutter free place to sit, place crystals or other special tokens around you.
  2. Clear your energy. Burn sage and clear your energy space, or you can imagine standing under a silver or bright white waterfall of pure light and allow all negative and lower energies to be cleared away.
  3. Light the candle, Take a few deep breaths, center yourself and then begin to write on the piece of paper what you wish to release from your life
  4. When you have finished your list, sign and date the page.
  5. Go into your heart space/chakra and declare “I now let this go. I ask you angels to please take this list for healing and transmutation, and I thank you, Amen.” Then place the piece of paper over the candle allowing the flame to light your page, you then place it in the bowl and watch as the flames consume and release your request to the universe for healing.
  6. Use your intuition to guide you. You may just want to sit under the moon and read your list aloud, or with a lit candle and not burn your page. You may want to meditate on what to let go of. Just the intention of releasing and letting go can work.

Just remember… our words have power. Saying – “Be Gone” audibly and loudly can be very freeing. Thank the spirits and angels. Be safe and don’t forget to have some fun.

Balsamic Moon in Libra

Mars in Capricorn squares Uranus in Aries

Mercury clashes with Chiron

There is potential to have fun today! Jupiter is in Libra, it conjunct the Moon in Libra and sextites Venus in Sagittarius. Very road trip, get out and see the world, adventurous energy! Plan a day out, book a dinner party, organise a catch up with friends or cook your partner a picnic and take them somewhere different? perhaps a dinner date under the stars?

The Balsamic Moon is in Libra all day!! If things have been feeling off within your self and the world around you today is a great day to re balance and  find harmony! We have the ability to balance our personal desires with those of another and be very diplomatic.

Mercury challenges Chiron today which leaves communications being relayed in ways we may not of intended! Words expressed may hit a nerve and can cause conflicting viewpoints and tensions. Today some can find they become impatient with rules and others will have feelings of guilty and worry with no actual source of the reason why.

Mars in Capricorn squares Uranus in Aries.This is a powerful energy and we want to use it wisely .Under this influence, we can be tempted to take risks or to act on sudden impulses without considering consequences. Mars in Capricorn like stability, hard work and structure whilst Uranus is all about change, likes to rebel and upheaval. We might feel rebellious in the face of rules and regulations. Tension is created as our will clashes with our inner self-expression that likes to rebel, we could feel the need to break free, crave independence and be impulsive.

 

With the New Moon just around the corner have you started to have a think about your New Moon wishes?

Have a great day and a great weekend

Moon in Virgo

Venus in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces

The Moon goes into practical Virgo today! The Moon than sextiles Mercury and the Sun in Scorpio. It than squares Venus in Sagittarius and opposes Neptune in Pisces. Virgo is very critical and this sharp way of communicating becomes even harsher today. Virgo is very good at identifying the problems and weakness in others , its energy provides us crystal clear, laser beam focus and combined with this intense period we are in, some of you may be very direct and clear when it comes to what you say, so be careful and aware of that! If there is a potential for an argument than its going to happen under this influence! On the lighter side..this laser beam and critical focus is good if you need to do a spring clean in your life! De cluttering and getting rid of the junk to make way for the good stuff, use this energy to sort out your paper work, your home, anything that you feel is disorganized. . The dark energy in the air can be great for culling things that don’t serve a purpose in our life!

Venus in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces . This leaves us dreaming of the ideal romantic situations. It cast a veil over our needs, perceptions and wants. This aspect leaves us feeling mystical, romantic and over idealistic. These planets squaring has the potential for us to wear rose-coloured glasses and our reality of what we want to see versus what is actually going on clashes. Today make an effort to separate fact from fiction so we do not end us disappointing our self and others in the process.

Have a great day

Mercury in Libra opposes Uranus in Aires early.

Moon moves into Cancer.

Jupiter in Libra and quincunx Venus in Sagittarius.

Mercury in Libra opposes Uranus in Aires early today. Today we can expect our communications to be a little.. well rebellious. As the lower mind and our higher mind battle it out to seek and validate truth’s. Communication can be  confrontational and disagreements are entirely possible today. Mercury opposing Uranus on the positive side makes for a great day for opening up the mind, it allows us the insight and inspiration to see things from different perspective. With all this friction in regards to communication in the air today be careful you don’t let your words get away with you !

The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until it enters lovely  Cancer this afternoon. This shifts the energy from mental stimulation and restlessness to the need for quit and cosy nurturing surroundings. We will focus on love and romance! The Moon squares Jupiter in Libra and quincunx Venus in Sagittarius. These aspects are responsible for the playful silliness in the air! Today spoil yourself, or a partner,or cook for someone special. Be romantic and if you feel the need to be flirtatious than do it own your sensual power..

Today go with the flow, keep on your toes as lightly as you can, as the energy is very undecided. We have experienced such a dynamic shift in energy this week some may find it hard to keep!

Have a great day
