The Moon in Taurus

Sun sesquiquadrate Neptune

This week starts off very gentle and with humility, it’s almost like we are dreamers wanting to make things happen for our self. It is important that we manage our expectations, be there for yourself and work through the energy as some may be sensitive and emotional nature your inner self.

The Moon moves into Taurus all day. Taurus is the sign that is all about simple sensual pleasures in life. Today we aware of our need to enjoy eating, basking, relaxation, drinking and canoodling. The Moon rules food and well Taurus loves food so they go well together just watch out for falling into old habits and overindulge and over eat! Today some may resist change and fall back into old patterns under this influence. With this no rush and relaxed energy about today it does not stop you in achieving a lot today. Taurus is also about cash flow and abundance so if you steady yourself and plot along working on increasing your money and abundance with visualizations and action plans the Tarsus Moon will help you in your quest.

The Sun sesquiquadrate Neptune. This has a blinding effect and we can temporarily lose focus, our will power can be low and we can temporarily stray away from our goals. Artistic and spiritual pursuits will be easier to tackle than straightforward factual goals today and tomorrow. This aspect makes it difficult for some to stick to or formulate clear, reasonable goals, so if you are beating yourself up mentally because you seem to be foggy, just put those plans on the back burner until midweek.It’s also a challenge knowing where we stand with others. Don’t take things to heart today!

Venus  forms a semi-square with Pluto today and tomorrow.This has the tendency  to make some search  for something wrong in a relationship, business or personal . This aspect has a way to make darker emotions arise so try to not act upon them, as nobody likes it when  jealousy raises its ugly head.

The light of the Full Moon is still illuminating our skies. This can illuminate and shine light on areas of our life that may need changing. At this time we disperse our knowledge and dig deep, working out what works for us and what needs changing in preparation for next week’s New Moon. We must make room for what we want to manifest in our lives!It’s also a time to begin finishing up the details of that which we formulated and created  at the last New Moon.Remember Full Moons are generally not a good time to start a new major project.

Have a great day

The Moon in Sagittarius

The Moon will square with Neptune in Pisces and align with Saturn in Sagittarius

The  Moon is in adventurous Sagittarius all day. When the Moon and Sagittarius meet it can   stimulate a desire for more than ordinary daily experiences. We become more upbeat and are attracted to new situations of conquest. We clear away the cobwebs and search for adventure. Tired of the mundane lifestyle,we will require less prompting to lash out and break our normal routine, experiencing life in a fun new way is appealing now.

The Moon will square with Neptune in Pisces and align with Saturn in Sagittarius. This can make people susceptible to moaning and become irritable, as we may be wrestling with practicality and imagination and trying to find balance in our expectations. Saturn may be hovering over the Moon today whispering the potential hazards of her new-found spark for adventures, but remember Saturn  doesn’t really want to stop you going on an adventure. Saturn energy is reminding you to check the details, check your reasons before launching into the unknown. Today is a great day  to mingle with others and enjoy ourselves in the process.

Today  we will find our intuitive messages will be strong and very spot on. This will motivate us to take practical action and help us build more positive harmonious loving life . With Neptune the dreamy planet inspiring us  we are looking at our futures, looking ahead, we are very intelligent in our future prosperity options. Today we will have a laser beam focus , very clear and sharp on what we want for our lives. So think about your future today, think about how you can bring in more love and harmony , how can you reduce drama and negativity.

 

Have a great day

15/8/16 Monday Madness

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Monday august 15th 2016

Happy Monday… Today will be a great day , any actions we take today will go down very well. Problems will be solved easily today as the Moon is in Capricorn all day. Capricorn is a no-nonsense sign, grounded, its practical, realistic and goal orientated.

The Moon trines Virgo in Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn today. Pluto in Capricorn allows for change through practicality, change through letting go of old ways of thinking and being sensible and grounded in your new thought process, change through putting the effort in today.  The Moon also tines Mercury in Virgo and Jupiter in Virgo,  so both of those the planet of communication and the planet of luck  are very receptive to people doing practical concrete  work and when you align yourself with that energy and just get down to nitty gritty and get down to business things will go very well for you.

Finally the Moon squares Uranus in Aries. Uranus is the planet that rules surprise and all things unexpected. Its influence is that of heightened frequencies, unpredictable actions and innovate imagination. Uranus’ influences us to break rules and demolish old patterns creating opportunity for sudden radical change.So today there is going to be a fiery spark in the air today, a spark of the unexpected. This gift will only happen  if you put the work in. The universe will surprise you by stepping in and giving you an opportunity as a result of the work you have put in today , something that you would normally never plan for.

Today is a day about getting the work done and reaping the rewards.

This is a Full Moon and a Luna Eclipse week, so some of you may be feeling the build up of the of Luna energies.  Since the full moon pours down a tremendous amount of energy some may feel emotional, impulsive, quick to snap, unable to sleep and well some may see others acting out.

Have a great day

12/8/16 Daily Grind

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Friday August 12th, 2016

The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Jupiter in Virgo is in  opposition Chiron.

Pluto the king of the Underworld, of death and rebirth, New beginnings and endings, the wounded healer will be creating an oppositional energy with Jupiter the planet of good fortune, positivity and growth. This can be a time when we find ourselves hungry for understanding and meaning, but because these energies are opposing we may find it difficult to align our personal beliefs systems with philosophical truth that reflects our core self. Something might happen today that challenges our core beliefs, and the universe will make us  aware of it

Chiron opposing Jupiter can be a great time for healing wounds that we may have burred deep down and refused to acknowledge, unearth these past pains is the key , instead of running from it come to terms with the outcome and try living with them in a harmonious way  is the key right now.

Today some of us may  feel alone in our quests,in our personal visions, opinions, or plans for the future, as others may not see eye to eye and may not  seem to understand your vision. But just go with the flow and try and use the Moon in Sagittarius Fun, free, adventourous energy  to see past any  discrepancies.

Today rather than blindly following something that doesn’t truly serve our purpose, it is important for us to look within and come to a greater understanding of what we truly need or believe.

Venus sesquiquadrate Uranus today and tomorrow. This can influence some of us to be uncertain about the desire to be close to someone. We will evaluate the importance of freedom versus closeness.

Have a great Friday and a even better weekend guys.

QUARTER MOON INTO SAGITTARIUS

Today the Moon moves s into fiery, fun-loving, adventurous Sagittarius. So if today we feel like blowing off some steam or have the need to overindulge our selfs and let our hair down   today is the day.

Life is an adventure today

With the Moon in Sagittarius and a Moon in Mars conjunction happening tonight our emotions can be hot and fiery today.  It’s important to not take any hasty  action or to be instanly over reactive because it could cost you right now. Today having fun and light-hearted healthy outlets is the key.

Jupiter enters Virgo today so over the next week is good for making adjustments as we lead into the Full Moon. Jupiter is the planet of good luck and fortune, but is also the ruler of over indulging and loves excess.  So remember being adventurous and carefree is one thing but being reckless is another…

Quarter Moon energy can make us feel compelled to take action. So whatever New Moon wishes we made last week should be off the ground, get your list out re read them and see what intentions you can take action on.

So today, Have a laugh, be playful, dont over react and go with the flow

Have a great day .

It’s still New Moon wishing time

 The Moon is still in the New Moon phase. So what did you  wish for?

If you need help on what the New Moon phase is about or how to create a New Moon wishs click here ~  How to create a New Moon ritual

Moon continued its transit of Leo until 3:34 AM EDT when it enters Virgo.The Moon squares with mars in today’s early morning hours and then conjoin’s with mercury/ squares Saturn whilst opposes Neptune in the mid afternoon to late evening. This can mean we are still figuring out what is reality and what is illusion! Be willing to look inside yourself and question things, are they really what they seem? Be a warrior for truth and see reality for what it is right now even if it means evaluating yourself,others and the world around you.

 

The Virgo Moon is  very practical and helpful. This earth sign mood is geared towards productivity, clearing, refining, purging, detoxing and organising. Virgo influences us to launch into self-improvement on a physical and soul level. Use this moon phase to be productive and focus on the details ,adjusting minor tweaks here and there. Virgo’s are very good at  being analytical, critical, and technical.

Have a great day

3/8/16 New Moon in Leo

Wednesday august 3rd

New Moon in Leo

How did you go with your New Moon wish list? When planting seeds for the month of August we should be using aspects of Leo. This focus should be on Romance, power, fun , pride, passion, courage, self – confidence, self-love and  relationships.This month is great time to plant intentions surrounding these traits. Where in your life could you incorporate these wonderful aspects? Do you want more romance in your life? Do you want to improve your romantic relationships ? Do you want to do something that involves courage.. book that dream holiday? Enroll in that course? Where in your life do you want to feel more powerful?

Venus is in Leo from July 12-August 5.This is a warmhearted, expressive, teasing and extravagant placement for Venus. So for the next few days we will take pride in our love life, we will be generous and grand.  Venus in Leo loves to be adored, pampered, and admired.  We have a strong ego investment in our love lives during this period.

Today the Sun in Leo  retrograde Neptune in Pisces, which means for us this could create  friction between the conscious self and our ego.

The next 3 days the sun triggers the Neptune/south node conjunction, This influence will bring us face to face to things we may be in denial about, delve in any  delusions in our lives and any reveal any deception about our self and others that we may not want to see or deal with . it’s time to take off the rose-colored glasses and see reality in all it’s brilliance- shadow and Light!

Have a great day

New Moon in Leo

Happy New Moon Day

Today Tuesday, August 2nd, 2016, at 4:44 PM EDT is a New Moon in Leo marking the beginning of a new cycle. The Cancer New Moon cycle ends, and the Leo New Moon cycle begins.

The New Moon is Leo will ignite creativity, passion, self-expression, self-love and sovereignty in ourselves and others.

As we know the New  Moon cycle is a  time to make some plans, set intentions, and bring forth manifestations into our life, we use this Luna cycle to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings. These intentions no matter how little or big as they may be, will come to life in approximately two-week time after the Full Moon occurs and if  it is perfect time to enter your life. So remember your wishes can be as wild as you like and  if you can believe it, you can achieve it

The New Moon has potent Leo energy, we have the chance to make significant changes in our lives. Think about the keywords for Leo, proud , active, authoritative, magnanimous, generous, caring and warm and consider ways in which you can incorporate these traits into your personality.

This is a perfect time for formulating some goals regarding  “all things Leo”. Using the influences of this fire sign concentrate on new ways to enhance your creative endeavors and hobbies. Ignite and improve your romantic life as well as building up your self-confidence and have a healthy pride in yourself.

Today there is also a Saturn/Neptune square – this influence triggers our personal and collective journey surrounding truth and lies, reality and illusion what is really hidden underneath to what we see  on the surface.

Saturn’s supportive trine to the New Moon suggests we should begin our new projects and endeavors gradually, step by step.

Happy New Moon wishing

 How to create a New Moon ritual

Published on by andycandypants13 Comments

How to create a New Moon Ritual

At each new moon , we can plant seeds for what we want to grow over the next 30 days. It can be literal “seeds” in terms of initiating new activities , meetings , joining a gym, organising importing events or enrolling in a course . Or it can be  symbolic ” seeds” , be creating rituals that help to ground our intentions. Through rituals we bring alive the magic forces that help create our intentions and heart desires.

Every New moon that comes around I use it as a checkpoint for my life, an opportunity to think of my hearts desires and as a self-examination of what I want to change and improve within, and around myself. Its like I get to re write a self “to do list”, it’s a mental, emotional and spiritual clean slate.

So new moons are all about

  • New beginnings
  • New Adventures
  • New Endeavor
  • New relationships
  • Positive changes
  • Optimism Hope and Faith

The New Moon is the perfect time to manifest what you wish to have in your life. It is a wonderful time to introduce new beginnings, projects and desires you wish for.

Setting your New Moon Intentions in Motion

I always begin by setting aside some time by myself at night, as its best done closer to when the moon’s power is full force. Don’t stress if this is not an option…  you can also do this in the morning, take yourself on a coffee date before work (I swear its written in a scared journal that this ritual is best done with the magic power of a coffee and melting moment cookie and if not I think it’s a new tradition that ill be passing on to anyone that will believe me).

Supplies you Need:

  • Notebook
  • Pen and coloured felt tip pens (For doodling and drawing magic unicorns and your new dream swim wear)
  • Your imagination

Optional supplies (That you would find at my New moon ritual)

  • Yummy scented Candle or incense burner, with lavender or peppermint to awaken the third eye and crown chakra,
  • Meditation music or relaxing sounds to help block out outside noise and help you unwind and refocus your energy to the task at hand. Or if silence or rock music is what helps you focus, than by all means I have created some very amazing wishes and intentions with Led Zeppelin playing in the background
  • Hot chocolate for  brain fuel (Because the brain can not store energy, it needs a continuous supply of fuel. As our brains consume 60 percent, or about 450 calories each day of the sugar coursing through our bloodstreams, that’s a justifiable couple of hot chocolates and a candy bar worth of energy)

Traditional ritual Supplies for the old school folks:

  • smudge sticks (Cleanse your sacred area with an opening prayer, a sage smudging)
  • incense 
  • meditation music
  • Crystal grid and/or alter with objects you find sacred or embody physically the goals you would like to achieve.

Here we go….

  • Light one or more candles, maybe create a crystal grid and/or alter with objects you find sacred, or embody physically the goals you would like to achieve like a picture of your camera to help you master photography, a clip of a place you want to visit, a picture of the body you want to achieve  ( through the intention of ercercise and diet trudst me there isnt a magic sure for weightloss).
  • Center your being and calm yourself in whatever way is appropriate for you. Take some deep cleansing breaths, turn on your meditation music to listen to, and/or leisurely sip on a cup of relaxing hot chocolate or herbal tea.
  • Relax, take it slow and let the wish and intentions flow
  • write in detail on what you would like to manifest ( it makes it easier to feel like you already have this when you can see it unfolding in your head in detail.)
  • Once you have finished writing your list, i what you want to manifest in your life remember that its very important to feel like these items are already yours, feel the emotion behind having them.. Happiness , joy, gratitude, motivated, empowerment, hope  and love.
  • It is essential that you keep your thoughts positive as this rises your vibrations. The universe responds to your vibrations like a magnet so happy, pleasant positive emotions carry high vibrations, so the universe will respond by giving you high vibrations gifts in return. Say if you want to attract wealth ,you think positive thoughts about money ( even if you don’t have much) and you focus on what you have not on what you don’t have. Same if you constantly give off low vibrations such as anger, impatience, worry, insecurity, blame and any other  negative thinking you will attract situations and people that reflect those vibrations, for example when something doesn’t work out and get mad and state ” nothing good every happens to me, or  im always the one who gets picked last, no one cares about me, im always get walked over by people, i hate the world” Emotional statements these (especially when you are mad, because you have so much powerful emotion behind saying them) tells the universe thats what yo want and that what you expect so it matches your vibrations. Understand?
  • Now this part is important, once you have set your new moon intentions and read over them, you must not over think or stress how they will come to you, no demanding ” why haven’t’ i got my new bike yet”, you need to trust the universe divine timing , if its meant to be it will be, and if you don’t get what you wished for, maybe it was not the right time for you to have it, I know it took me a few months of wishing for a new bike before one day i got to work and my boss had this cute white bicycle sitting in my office , he said he just bought it for his wife and she went for one rife on it and didn’t like cycling and he thought the bike suited me and how much i would enjoy cycling to work instead of waling each day….
  • When you do get to experience that magical feeling of crossing off an item off your list don’ forget to thank the universe for bringing it to you, after all the power of gratitude excels your power of manifestation

By Andy Jackman x

It should be noted, to keep in mind that our words and thoughts are vibrations, wether our words or thoughts are created subconsciously in positive or negative manor, so any intentions imagined, stated or written down carry power. So take care to really manifest exactly what you would like, by feeling that vibration. The saying “Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.” rings true here. And remember.. you are not to manifest anything regarding the free will of another person. So you can’t ask the universe to bring you a certain person, as the another person is involved has their own intentions you cannot control what he/she will do, and you cannot ask the universe to force someone to feel or act a certain way about you. So no trying to ask the universe to make Zac Effron to fall madly in love with you…. SIGH

Mindfulness Tips & Facts

Published on by andycandypants1 Comment

Anyone can practice mindfulness but it might take a bit of practice. At first you might find it hard to stop your mind from wandering. Here are sum fun facts to help you distract your mind, and help you refocus your mind.

So what is this thing called mindfulness? Below are some definitions:

  • The awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment to moment (Kabat-Zinn, 2003).
  • The non-judgmental observation of the ongoing stream of internal and external stimuli as they arise (Baer, 2003).
  • Keeping one’s complete attention to the experience on a moment to moment basis (Martlett & Kristeller, 1999).

Medically speaking..

After 8 weeks of practicing mindfulness exercises for an an average of 27 minutes per day, MRI scans of participants showed that mindfulness:

  • stimulated a significant increase in the density of gray matter in the hippocampus, important for learning and memory;
  • increased the density of gray matter in other neural structures associated with self-awareness, compassion and introspection;
  • decreased the density of gray matter in the amygdala – the part of the brain associated with anxiety and stress.

According to Harvard University, Studies have shown that mindfulness can:

  • relieves stress
  • relieves depression
  • relieves anxiety
  • lowers blood pressure
  • improve chronic pain
  • improve sleep
  • improves capacity to deal with stress
  • improves ability to form deeper connections with others.
  • Mindfulness has also been found to boost immune function.
