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

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

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.”

Set Some Goals

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

“Set some goals. Stay quiet about it. Smash them out, no matter how long it takes you. Stay humble & Clap yourself on your back ( any small or large achievements. Any milestone is a win). ” The right people will notice & well the rest ( small select few of haters) will ALWAYS, have something to whinge & critique you about..

Unhappy people are never happy within them selves and will always find something to pick at!! It’s a reflection of themselves not you.

So smile, say something nice to them…

Let whatever issue they have with you bounce straight off you. ( and internally giggle at the simple mentality).

My mum has taught me many things in life , one of the biggest lessons is ” Andy , people are going to love you or hate you & that’s not your problem… It’s theirs.

So the nicer you are ( generally nice) to someone who is rude, mean, negative or so called “Hates you” , be the bigger person , say something nice, smile at them, the more friendly & nicer you are the more angry , annoyed & frustrated they get… ( it’s a lot harder to be an arsehole to someone is who is completing you, because in the end they look rediculous) and the world does notice!

Your existence alone has altered the world. You are more important than you know.
So smile

Happy days xx

Daily Grind 5/5/16

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

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.

Letting go 

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

“In the process of letting go, you will lose many things from the past. But you will find yourself….It will be a permanent Self, rooted in Awareness & Creativity. Once you have captured this, you have captured the world.”

‘Deepak Chopra’

The path to happiness is often a path of letting go, removing what no longer serves you and not adding to or gaining something. Learning to let go of the past, in particular, emotions, attitudes, bad habits, draining relationships and any other “baggage” that is holding you back is the key to our inner happiness and long overdue healing. In order to make way for amazing wonderful things to come we must leave our comfort zone and “Let go”.

Learning to let go can be somewhat scary, but it is essential!! Learning to let go of old ideas, people, habits and any other situation that no longer serves you is the key to inner balances and self-growth.

A huge block to “letting go” for personal growth is that the future is always unknown. The future is unpredictable, and by letting go, a part of us feels as we may loose an essential part of our life, our identity, a friendship, and a major element of our past, our personality, family or values. This can be a stumbling block, but to truly move forward and embrace what the future has we have to shed our old skin, move forward.

Here is some great examples of dysfunctional living habits that are worth reconsidering and letting go of, they can offer you a temporary relief, but in the long run just add stress, strain and are just simply unhealthy for the mind body and soul.

  • Avoiding work obligations and procrastinating.
  • Excessive alcohol consumption.
  • Emotional eating.
  • Consuming too much sugar, junk food.
  • Smoking.
  • Skipping meals.
  • Avoiding exercise.
  • Late nights.
  • Abusing prescription & illegal drugs.
  • Stimulants.
  • Taking on to many obligations.
  • Staying in draining, abusive, emotional dysfunctional relationships.
  • Self harm – physically, emotionally or mentally.
  • Not allowing “Personal” time.
  • Not enough sleep
  • Excessive caffeine, soft drinks and energy drinks consumption

Try and commit to yourself and let go of these habits!! Swap one bad habit for a good habit, instead of emotionally eating yourself to a larger dress size, take it our on the cement  (pavement) and walk out any frustrations, sadness or anger! Instead of staying up late, record that TV show and treat yourself the next day after work..

You are worth the effort; the key to life is balance and happiness! Move ahead and let go of your past, more, not less of your personality and gifts will manifest

I know what I will be letting go of, and now that we have a Full Moon in transit in the past week it makes for a great time to sit down with yourself, and really think long, hard and deep about what is not working in your life? What feels like resistance in your world? is it that job, or a bad habit (like excessive sugar consumption), worrying about your diet or if you have enough time to please everyone ( whilst neglecting your own needs) .

Full Moon in Scorpio 2016

Published on by andycandypants1 Comment

Full Moon in Scorpio 2016

I can promise you, this moon will be a big one. ..

This month we will experience a powerful Full Moon in Scorpio on April 22, 2016. This supercharged Full Moon will amplify our desires. Scorpio is a passionate sign, in everything it touches, self, relationships, work and play and this energy sets the stage for meaningful personal transformation this Full Moon.

Scorpio’s are intense and feel things deeply. So prepare for a Full Moon of extremes. Full Moons often leave us supercharged, some of us have intense dreams, some of us can’t sleep at all, some may have extra energy or become flat, and if you are anything like me you become super sensitive in more ways than one…Even if you don’t follow astrology one can’t deny that energy is charged up and you at one point in your life you have felt different when a Full Moon approaches.

The passionate, dramatic intense waters of Scorpio seem to be in direct opposition to our practical drive to survive this Full Moon and this can cause tension between our inner and outer worlds, causing some of us to reach a breaking point. Have you felt the pull and push of late?

Full Moons are like axis that balance’s the energy between the Moon and the Sun, the balance of the yin and the yang, our job during this period is find a balance whilst everything is at it’s fullest extreme. Trying to juggle these cosmically opposed forces and find a balance of our receptive and the expressive self.

The Sun is in Taurus during this Moon phase and will act as an anchor this week to help hold us to our current path without getting to lost in the paradigms of Venus romantic influence who is dancing alongside wild Uranus. These comic influences will strike a chord in our personal desires as our personal relationships become an experimental playing field as this Scorpion Full Moon bring up desires of strong intense desires, emotional and sexual running deep in our conscious.

The Moon is where our feelings live and when the Moon is full, feelings and energy can be at their peak. Be cautious of emotional discontentment, as this is a time where past feelings can stir and rise up, so fight the urges to be moody, snappy, suspicious and secretive. By giving into these negative emotions can block your very heightened creative energy, so just stop.. breath.. and don’t feed the negative emotions any more fuel!! Happy, powerful creative thinking is what needs to be practiced during this Full Moon.

This Moon will propel us forward in delving into the deep mysteries of our hearts and will also allow us to follow our heart with decisive action. This Full Moon the Universe is waking us up to our deepest, highest desires, it will also give us a nudge and the potential to achieve our desires and the courage to go after them. Scorpio’s don’t just settle, they go big or not at all, so this Moon is challenging each and every one of us to Go Big.

Full Moons are a time that bring closure to matters, big and small. During this moon, it is time to stop talking and start doing, we need to rely on our actions to say what needs to be said. The Full moon in Scorpio’s energy will shine a light onto anything hidden, on parts of us that we choose to lock away and ignore the most, parts of our self we never act on or heal, sometimes so much so that it’s time to stop the doubting self – talk and start the doing, start healing.

Death and rebirth is the theme of the week (Not in a physical sense). We cannot receive the new in our life until we purge the old, old pattern’s and emotions that no longer serve you along with releasing old energy, send it all to the light for transmutation.  It is good for focusing and doing psychic work because of the deep emotions and desires Scorpio brings.

There is great energy this month to complete things that may not of received your full attention last month. Maybe you felt to scattered or the energy did not feel right at the time?! the good news is.. you will have the means and strength to focus on these certain areas and complete what needs to be done.

~ So this Full Moon ~

  •  It’s truly a time to go big or not at all!

  •  Don’t give into the tension, and there is no mistake there will be tension, internal and externally!

  •  It’s time to step outside your comfort zone, Be Courageous!!

  •  You are being asked to feel this Moon, instead of thinking, and to ACT instead of think.

  •  Forge ahead as this Full Moon you will have a very strong sense of purpose.

  •  Solving mysteries and getting to the root of the issue!

  •  Death and Rebirth, Purge the old and make way for the New!!

  •  Purging intense emotional matters that no longer serve you, such as obsession, shame or guilt.

  •  Intensity, extremes, physic awareness and a heightened sensitivity.

 Happy Full Moon

Don’t Take Anything for Granted

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Don’t Take Anything for Granted

” We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude”

Always act kindly, See the world through eyes of love as opposed to eyes of fear and practice gratitude

These actions are the keys to joy and happiness in your life. will enable you to live a life of abundance.”

We ignore so much of the goodness in our life, and  we tend to only miss this goodness when it is gone. What do you take for granted? I can tell you what I often take for granted. I take for granted my eyes, my eyes which give me vision to see the faces of my loves ones, all the colours of the rainbow, all the wonders that this world has to offer me

By being thankful for what you do have. When we tend to focus on what we want or where we want to be, we neglect that we have, exactly as it is. What if one day it was all to disappear?  how much DO you take for granted your life, big or small. For example; the only time I would not take my body for granted was when it was sick, or you only appreciate the fact you  have  washing machine was when it broke down. Or when you don’t have toilet paper???

By nourishing and being grateful for what you have already, you transform your perspective on life. By investing time by focusing on, and appreciating what we have brings about gratitude. Gratitude leads us to stop focusing on the things that are lacking in our life to all the abundance that already exists.

What are the things you tend to take for granted?

What do you plan to do about them?

What are 3 things you are grateful for today?

Try each day to stop and think about all the marvellous abundance that is already present in your life. Your job, Your home, Your arms and legs, Your boss that drives you nuts, because at least you have a boss.

Giving thanks and taking the time to appreciate every and all aspects of our life, it makes us happier and more resilient to what life has to offer, it strengthens relationships with ones self and others, it improves health, and it reduces stress.
