This week in Astrology! 9/01/2017 – 15/01/2017

This week in Astrology!

Monday 9/1/17 – Sunday 15/1/17.

What an exciting week! Several big things are happening this week and the energy is very much about moving forward. Many of us this week will have a feeling of momentum and wanting to move things forward. Now is the time for action!!  Some will take this action intelligently and some will take the energy and overdo it emotionally, but regardless there is a strong desire for change this week.

Mercury moves direct this week. YAY!  We will get clarity on issues that were presented to us early on December last year. The difference is we will not only get clarity but we will be moving forward on those issue, so think back what was happening to you around this time? Clarity equals action!

This week in our skies something amazing will happen that happens around once a year. All the planets are moving forward, that means no shadowing or retrograde!  This will be happening for the next four weeks, which means we get this comic kick-start  to get things going and move forward in our desired direction.

This week we will also get to experience a Grand Cardinal Cross! How exciting and liberating. So what is a grand cardinal cross? Well all the major players in the sky are in cardinals star signs. Now cardinal signs are those star signs that start off and begin each season, they are the signs that represent new beginnings,  fresh new change and energy. The Sun in a cardinal sign and is standing between Uranus and Jupiter in cardinal sign. This is creating a T square.but even better news is we see a Full Moon in Cancer this week! All the signs that start of the seasons are lit up this week, which gives us a sense of awareness and sense of enjoy on the surface! However be aware we can act very impulsive and  be highly emotional. With these placements the possibility of overdoing it, over indulging, being over sensitive and becoming highly impulsive and acting on emotions along with a few cosmic surprises coming out of the woodwork can be experienced . If you use this energy wisely it can work in your favor , with a little strategy and some thought you will prosper. This is because of what else is happening in the sky at the same time… Mars is speaking in harmony with Pluto, which is brilliant, because this means action meets strategy. Understanding of perception and how things are meant to be equal meaningful change, and this change can take place can from the root ! The result is a clear-cut path forward for us and the people around us. Transformation and change not only on an individual level but as a whole and collectively change, place your energy wisely. Were are you going to place your energy for change? We’re we place the majority of our energy is we’re we see growth, we’re can you see that needs change on deep and superficial level. The grand cross is basically a bunch of squares forming with the planets, and this translates into a bunch of conversations we need to have with our self , these conversations speak to our motivation for meaningful transformation to happen, they are energy ,momentum, so being smart about our actions towards positive change is the key at this time! Be the change for the future you want to live!

The Full Moon in Cancer tells us that our desire to change and to do something meaningful and that you personally passionate about, your emotional truth! Most of us out there all have at least one situation or problem in our life that has become unexpectedly difficult and this Full Moon will allow us to connect and see the truth. The momentum is there for us to make changes, trust your emotions and intuition, trust you have the right tools for success. Especially in the beginning of the week, revelations will be exposed , where we put our energy will be exposed and what changes need to occur? What do you need to release?

Have a great week

Thursday 15th December, 2016.

The Moon is in Cancer.

The Sun in Sagittarius.

The Moon opposes Mercury in Capricorn and squares Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aires.

The Moon is in sensitive, emotional Cancer all day. Today is a great day to retreat, revive and be with family and friends. When the Moon is in Cancer we tend to gravitate towards the nurturing side of life, we become domestic and want to spread our self and our love wide, touching everyone we meet with kindness. Today is a great day to focus on your home, does it needing ssorting out? if your home is in a bit of a mess.. clean up! de clutter! do the washing or put fresh sheet on the bed. Our needs for comfort, safety, belonging, and familiarity are strong today, so invite your family and loved ones over.Cancer loves food so host a dinner party  and enjoy a good meal with special ones.

A Cancer Moon Day is a wonderful time to work on your doubts and fears.Don’t be too hard-headed and hide behind your shell as Cancer can have a slightly insecure vibe,work out what’s worrying you. Nurture yourself, take a bath light a candle and watch a movie if socializing is not your thing today.

The Moon opposes Mercury in Capricorn and squares Jupiter in Libra and the rebel Uranus in Aires. Today there is a chance we may feel a slight shift in energetic gears, but still overall its a very positive day. Intuition is strong today, we are very much in touch with our needs and we are highly creative. So it’s a wonderful day to express yourself, bake, sing, draw, garden do whatever it is you love to do put some time aside for yourself today and get creative! However this planetary  configuration can make some of us overdo it, try to not take on too much as a lot is going on and we have  a strong desire to put in all our time and energy in all that we do, so today identifying our priorities and simplifying things.

Have a great day

The Super Moon is still upon us and as it is the last Full Super Moon of the year. It’s a real good time to sit back and appreciate all that happened over the past year, both good and bad.This Super Moon is a time of celebration and gratitude. It’s all about positivity and being thankful for all the good things in your life.  The Cancer Moon provides us with a great time to stay at home with our families and close ones and reflect on 2016!

The Moon forms a lovely trine aspect to dreamy Neptune.Take time to retreat and reflect tonight if you can. Light the candles, create a soft dreamy space which will foster a  lovely  emotional, spiritual connection. This aspect is great for strengthening your intuition and introspection.

Happy Wednesday

Full Moon in Gemini.

Sun in Sagittarius.

Happy Full Moon Day!

Well here we are again facing the last Full Moon for the year, and not only are we going to experience the beautiful light of the Full Moon it will be a Super Full Moon. Super Moons are where the Moon is closer to earth and therefore brighter and has a stronger impact on us here on earth !

The Full Moon is in Gemini and it has a celebratory feel about it, as it’s the final Full Moon of the year and it means we calibrate on the past year. So let this Moon shower down on you its positivity and energy.. So if it is a clear night go out and stand under that bright light, absorb its full light and release the old.

When the Moon is in Gemini it gives us a chance to be curious, optimistic and chatty. It’s a great time to exchange ideas, do some research ,socialize and surround yourself to inspire creativity. This Moon is all about opportunities, looking ahead , progressing forward and to move along.

Full Moons are a time to close doors, and this Full Moon will prompt us to look ahead and see where our direction will be going in 2017. What has worked for you? what isn’t? From people, to diets and personal attitudes and bad habits. This is a great time to sit down, reflect and really think about what inst work for you and what doesn’t feel right.  The conversational Gemini Full Moon encourages us to take full responsibility for our thinking and our communications.( it is ruled by Mercury ).

Have you felt the energy of the Full Moon  build and build and build this past few days?  There’s some Full Moon madness during this luna period as the luna cycle comes to an end ( Not literally of course) Than after the aftermath of the Full Moon crazies we are followed by a sort of cosmic sigh.

The Full Moon in Gemini opposes the Sun in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is very much about exploring, learning and broadening your horizons, that there than combines and shines along with the Moon, its positive personal energy to make us think ” how can i use the information, my intellect and my ideas, to find away forward and have fun whilst doing it ”

Have a great day

Full Moon Ritual

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.

The Gibbous Moon is in Aries.

Venus in Capricorn

The Aires Moon sextiles Mars in Aquarius.

 

The Gibbous Moon is in Aries, and we are ready to get something started! Action and confidence is the energy we need to channel with the Full Moon approaching, it’s time for stamina. Don’t give up. Over the next few days it would be a great time to go over and review your plans, go over what is and isn’t working in your life, review, re – think and re – do , what has run out of steam? Time to get rid of those things that no longer work to make room for what is.

Venus moves out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn. We shift from freedom to commitment. When Venus in Capricorn, we value grounded stability, commitment and loyalty. Venus/Capricorn cycle is about working things out, making plans and sticking things out. We are more cautious with our emotions and feelings. We have the courage to work on the practical issues in our relationships. A dose of realism in our personal lives can go along way, it has the ability to help us to feel more grounded and secure in the long run.

The Aires Moon sextiles Mars in Aquarius. Today you will feel energised and compelled to take action! You will be galvanized to work in areas of your life that you actually care about.  This week you have looked at whats going on around you , weighed up were you are happy and you are not happy and you feel that you know how you can contribute more and strengthen this areas. You are driven, and happy to make a contribution towards those areas. Taking ideas and making them happen is the theme today, your perceptions have the ability to drive you into performing.. what do you care about? animals? charity? helping others? surprising loved ones? self-improvement? Today helping others will come easy and life just clicks into place.

Have a great day

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, Friday 16/9/16

Friday September 16, 2016

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

Mars in Sagittarius trines retrograde Eris in Aries

The lunar eclipse in Pisces today is marking the midway point of the current lunar cycle eclipse that began with the solar eclipse in Virgo on 1/9/16. With the Virgo-Pisces axis involved in this Lunar Eclipse, it presses us to look more closely at our lives, what needs do we have?, What do we feel is lacking? and want do we to bring into our lives? When this axis is activated  we search for a balance between our material world and our spiritual reality. Virgo energy is all about bring balance in our daily life and routines. Virgo is about bringing order in our physical and general health and learning new too tools and techniques to deal with day to day life. Pisces is the sign that rules the tools that we use to deal with our spiritual selves. So just go with the flow, ride the emotional wave and pay attention to your intuition as it will surely  guide you in the right direction.

The Full Moon lunar eclipse can make our emotions high! It is particularly an emotional day with the lunar eclipse falling in Pisces. Our intuition will be heightened so pay attention to your gut feelings, thoughts, repetitive emotions and images that come to you today and over the next few days as it’ll take a while before the real effects of the eclipse can be seen.

This Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is known to thrust us into a state of heightened awareness. This time can be great to be creative, to be inspired as Pisces flow of emotions and creativity is extraordinary. This Full Moon some of us may move towards feelings of love, or romantic declarations and revelations. Feeling a burst of love for everyone in your life and people you may just meet… and then some of us will be irritable and won’t know exactly why! Another effect of Full Moon eclipse is some people’s common sense is temporarily ” eclipsed” as they walk around in a daze like state and others will experiences a new idealistic side that makes us charge full speed ahead

Mars in Sagittarius trines retrograde Eris in Aries  aligning the fiery warrior planet with his sister planet of chaos and disruption. This could unearth any unprocessed or unaddressed anger and aggression along with the Full Moon which is about releasing what no longer serves us we will find a way to let go off what we need to in order to move forward. This aspect will help us set up boundaries for ourselves and we will learn to say NO..luckily the aspect between the two is harmonious and very passionate, so harness this energy and take charge.

Have a great day and happy Full Moon eclipse
