MOON IN SCORPIO

Today Mercury the planet of communication and thought process , moves into the proud sign of Leo. This means there is an edge to all our communications. We are all a tad more proud, a tad more likely to  overstate our feelings or promise more than we can deliver, and the tendency to overdo is strong.

Do use the Leo / Mercury vibe to speak up for yourself and try not to point out any arrogance you may have towards others. 

Venus semi-square Jupiter July 14. We may  experience a strong desire for more pleasure in our lives, which can be excessive at times today. Today we might take great strides to get noticed especially with the Mercury moving into Leo.  Take care not to overstate your feelings or to set up unrealistic expectations in any  personal relationships, as they likely won’t get resolved under this planetary influence. Avoid impulsive buying today and hasty  decisions.

~Todays Oracle Card ~

Today has been very interesting, I woke up and before I pulled the daily card I came across two pictures of Athena. Coincidence? Than I got to work and had a heavenly feather as I opened up my handbag. Today use the energy of the Goddess Athena in all thoughts and actions and see how well your day works out.

Athena

The Goddess Athena seems a contradiction because although she was born from the head of Zeus in armour she is best known for wisdom, purity and peace. Her story tells of a strong Goddess who is not afraid of battle but teaches that the greatest conflict lies within. The Greeks called her Athena and the Romans called her Minerva. The Gods offered the people many gifts, but Athena offered peace and so they built the Parthenon on the Acropolis and named Athens in her honour. Are you seeking peace in your life? .

Athena is about breaking old habits, old patterns and ways of thinking old cycles, use your inner wisdom and make new decisions with the new knowledge and wisdom of old lessons. Detach from drama.

Athena wants you to quiet your mind and listen to your inner wisdom. Don’t let others sway you away from your path.  If you have been considering something and the message has been coming to you repeatedly, stop procrastinating and go for it!! You can trust yourself and that quiet inner voice inside you, yes it is real.

 

Have a great day

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

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

The New Moon in Cancer 2016

Today marks the beginning of the 29.5 day Moon cycle, as we are having a New Moon in Cancer today  July 4th, 2016 .New Moons are a new wave of energy  that happens when the   Sun and Moon meet at the exact same point of the zodiac ( being Cancer this month)

As a Cancerian myself this is a very exciting month for me, a month of love, birthdays, happiness and today a chance to dream up big and manifest.

This Cancer New Moon offers us a chance to rebirth our emotional body. What do you desire to feel about yourself and your life? What Cancerians traits would you like to manifest and invite into your world?

Cancer is the sign of the Mother,Carer, Nurturer. Cancer symbolizes the womb of Life. Cancerians are the protectors,highly  creative and we feel things on a  very deep level, deep like the running tides of rivers and the oceans. As Cancer is the first cardinal water sign it is a sign of strong feminine power providing the symbolic water of life upon everyone we come across.The Moon is the ruler of Cancer, drawing upon the waters of creation in a tidal ebb and flow. The Moon speaks to us through our  imagination, our visions, our dreams, our symbols, our stories… Cancerians are highly intuitive, our gut instincts are 100% so don’t try to trick us we see through the veil of lies, we are very observing and we will love you until the end of time, no matter how bad you hurt us.  We are ruled by our stomachs, we heal by cooking, comfort eating, and smoother the people we love.

This Month  listens to your emotions, acknowledge them as valid feelings, which in turn will tell you what we need to do to prosper in your world.

~Today’s Daily Oracle card~

Well this card could not pop up at a more perfect moment, as it’s a new moon and a time to manifest

Ready_set_go

 

This card says, “”Now is the perfect moment to dive in and embrace your heart’s desire

Even though you may feel that you are not ready to start working on your heart’s desire, this card is saying that now is the best time to do so. In other words, even though you may not feel ready, you are ready right now.

This is about taking steps towards your true heart’s desires, both big and small. In some way you need to establish what you don’t need in your life, or what will interfere with you working towards your true heart’s desire. It could be the way you think, as you may have self-doubts, fears, worries, insecurities and other self-sabotaging thoughts. In some sense, what is needed here, first to recognize that you have such negative thoughts, second perhaps establish a pattern, when you are likely to think of these negative thoughts, third be vigilant so you can recognise these negative thoughts and forth to deal and challenge these thoughts, so you can turn them around so that these negative thoughts do not have such a hold on you.

It could be a simple case that you have too many responsibilities and obligations places on you. If people are constantly putting demands on your time, energy and attention, know that it is OK to say “No” occasionally. If you have too many responsibilities, if there is someone around you who can do them for you , than delegate, so that the workload is fairly distributed. By doing this you are rescheduling your time so you can spend time doing something that is truly important to you.

By working on your true heart’s desires you will have more energy, have greater self-esteem, you will be happier and you will attract more abundance.”

So work with the New Moon write down your manifestation list work with your angels and guides, you are ready to manifest what you truly desire in your life right now

“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

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.

Make-a-wish

New Moon in Taurus, and the week ahead

The week ahead

Well this week we see the magic of the waxing crescent moon transform into the beginning of the New Moon cycle that occurs on Friday, May 6th, 2016.

May 6, 2016   3:29 PM Sun Conjunct Moon (New Moon)

The Aries New Moon cycle we have just been in ends and the New Moon in Taurus cycle begins.

The New Moon in Taurus

The energies of this earth sign is the mighty Bull!, It’s time to enjoy life’s simple and physical pleasures, this New Moon is great time to commit to personal goals, try to tap into the beautiful grounding energies of this star signs and not pulled down by their negative!

Enjoy activities that bring you in touch with nature and with you bodies. Taurus is about security, safety, ambitions, sensual and practical. The have a great eye for beauty, and a mastermind with finances. With this New Moon approaching its time to become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure. Work at it, wish and put the intentions out there on what your true heart desires.

Mercury transits the sun (crosses in front of the sun, as seen from Earth) on May 9, for the first time since 2006

With Mercury in retrograde and with the New Moon approaching Taurus, this is a good cycle under which to re-evaluate our relationship to possessions and money, and to discover what truly makes us happy and fulfilled.

Jupiter pops out first thing at dusk. It’s the brightest star like object in May and lights up the nighttime until the wee hours of the morning.

 

 

Lets Start at the beginning of the week

Monday 1st May , the moon is in Pisces connecting ( T-square configuration) with Neptune, Jupiter and Saturn. As we know Pisces is a creative, artistic a dreamer..  but it can also leave your thoughts chaotic and a little of not knowing whats going on this is  due to Mercury in retrograde. The configuration of these planets, we may be feeling a little chaotic , emotional unbalanced, with internal and external conflicts. We will feel to a degree, instability and undecidable with our goals and what next step to take. A positive aspect is our usual intuition and judgment is enhanced under this influence, and we can use this to help ground ourselves when thinking, dealing and seeing in matters with fresh new perspective that works in our advantage. finding beauty in the differences.

Tuesday –

The Sun trine is in a positive aspect with Jupiter and Virgo  This influence is about growth and expansiveness. These planets are about earth and stability and practical matters. We are more aware of moral issues, and have a desire to improve and learn. Optimism and confidence are basic elements in the energy of this transit. We are more willing to take a risk or two, and we are motivated by a desire to impress others. Enthusiasm runs high, and cooperation comes easy. This is generally a good time to schedule new beginnings in business, education, personal relationships, marriage, creative projects, and so forth, all things equal.

Although Taurus energy  can be easy-going and respectful, its energy  can also be unbelievably stubborn, self-indulgent and inflexible in their approach. So if you find this week that if logic and logical conversations don’t seem to be getting across to some you will know its the stubbornness of the Taurus energy, so just breath , smile and know  that some might refuse to listen! common sense sometimes isn’t so common.

When Wednesday/Thursday   approaches, this is a special day as the Sun is in Taurus; Mercury is in Taurus; Venus is in Taurus; Mars is in Sagittarius. WOW what a mouthful, and kinda unnerving, this whole week is a build of energy for something big to be released… A cosmic storm!!!

Friday we see the New Moon. The last New Moon in Scorpio was a little intense with that Scorpio energy, now the New Moon is in the sign of Taurus  we will see on that day the Moon will make several aspects , aspects with Venus, Neptune, Jupiter, pluto and Mercury . Be prepared it will be a very busy new moon, and new moons are always about new beginnings  and with this potent Taurus energy  it’s all about practicality nature, security oriented nature dealing with money , values , resources, material level, projects or careers.

Saturday  and Sunday we will see a very busy build up of positive earth signs. that will include – Pluto,Jupiter, Capricorn and Virgo. This build up of energy is a good change, we will see positive results once mercury and jupiter get out of retrograde and go direct!! The  Sun in Taurus is trine with pluto , jupiter and Capricorn, so this results in a Grand Trine. The Sun is making a grand trine with all the earth signs, the Sun in Taurus  is aligning and connecting positively with jupiter and the earth sign of virgo,  The Sun is also  in a positive aspect with the earth sign of capricorn. The grand build up is transforming a powerful energy, that will be interesting to see unfold over the next few weeks.

So lets not forget to mention Mercury

Have you noticed its effects? i sure have.. Sigh

Mercury is in retrograde, and as the planet of communication, when it is in retrograde  communication can be misinterpreted ,confusing and lead to an uncertain level of communication confusion! EEK so while we are in this period its best to remember that mercury rules our lower minds and how we perceive information, interpret information and communication,  from ourselves, others and our surrounding environment. So pay close attention to what you say and communicate in general.

Mercury also has ruler-ship in other areas of our worlds such as buying and selling, travel, signing formal contracts, speaking,  negotiating,  listening and  documents, so try to avoid any large purchases, booking holidays, signing new business deals and contracts, negotiating new jobs or pay rises as all of these areas of life can affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state.

Good old Mercury is here to help us make important changes in our lives, he helps us to  reorganise and reflect.This period is  great at  looking  at the world, situations, ourselves a little differently,  with rose-coloured glasses or through different filters, and most importantly Mercury helps us  come up with some very important inner revelations

So this Week

You have the chance to make important changes in your lives.

Self reflect – is it time to make some solid yet realistic plans?

Sit down, really reflect on what you want to change or bring into your life, write your New Moon intentions

Be proactive and  set the stage for reaping the rewards from your new beginnings, as little or big as they may be.

Meditate and focus on your third eye, root and solar plexus Chakra

Purification and cleansing this week is the theme, with mercury being in retrograde. Use this time as a Cleanse period and rid the path of most resistance…

Law of attraction will be put into practice this week, testing our new boundaries, Ask for assistance this week from someone who is more in tune with  the divine , universe, a guru etc.. if you feel like you are in a rut, help is coming, just wait it’s on it way ,  talk to your guides, angles the  big man in the sky and take the life raft if one is offered to you.emotional cleansing will lead to liberation for the soul, and  will help ground you this week with all the cosmic chaos going on.

Clean away old patterns, energies that you  rid to get rid of before and didn’t work, cos now with the planetary alignments and the New Moon it is the time to really clean and cleanse out ourself for our souls, its time for you to get  rid of what has been holding you back

Honour your self

You gotta be in charge this week.

Daily Grind 5/5/16

The Moon on Thursday, May 5th, from 12:18 AM EDT, is the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (along with  conjunction to Uranus), until the Moon enters Taurus at 1:11 PM EDT.

     Today  Planetary Stations & Sign

Apr  5, 2016    12:50 PM           Venus enters Aries
Apr  5, 2016     7:09 PM      Mercury enters Taurus

 BALSAMIC MOON INTO TAURUS

As this lunar cycle is ending,  it is a  really great time to let go and move on. It’s also a time for rest and a time to heal. Change is inevitable……energy is always in motion….the wheel of Destiny is always spinning…..be open to the next step! Use the energy of the New Moon approaching to help guide , heal and set positive intentions.

Fun fact for today ~ Jupiter pops out first thing at dusk. It’s the brightest star like object in May and lights up the nighttime until the wee hours of the morning.

Once again, with all this planetary action happening this week ( if you haven’t read my Week Ahead berg click here )  this is a brilliant time to put a stop to any habits that are not good for you. Before you fall into despair over how to survive these astrological and astronomical shenanigans, just  remember that all of these events are simply a call for awareness,lessons,  healing, reevaluation and transmutation .

We are already feeling unbalanced from the turbulent  energy of Mercury Retrograde, and perhaps some of you may be  struggling with relationships as they relate to communication. If there has been a drama with someone and you want to continue the relationship, this is another wonderful time to release upset.

Add to that Mars Retrograde, the planet of war and sex and we shouldn’t be surprised to see sparks flying between partners.It is also a time to end relationships which are not working for you..  For some, those sparks may mean the beginning of new relationships or the renewal of old ones.

So today

  • Give yourself a break.
  • Daydream.
  • Dream big.
  • Go wild in your imagination.
  • Smile to yourself.
  • Watch how you communicate and interact
  • Release any fears, negativity to the Universe for transmutation
  • Talk to your guides

 

~Today’s Daily Oracle Card~

“Wait” – “Don’t rush into action right now. Bide your time for better results
Wait

Don’t rush into action right now. Bide your time for better results!
If you take action now, you’ll miss a window of opportunity that occurs down the road. So wait! Don’t worry, you will know when the time is right to take action because every cell in your body will scream ‘now!’
You are on the verge of receiving new information or guidance that will alter the course of your plans, leading you in a more positive direction.
By waiting for the moment the outcome will be better.
