Expect the Unexpected, 18/04/18.

The Sun and Uranus align in Aries.

The Moon moves into Gemini.

Today I can say that some of you won’t feel as stable or even steady on your feet .Several things come together today that brings a restlessness energy about it, that results in this lack of stability about the day. First we have the Moon who is now in Gemini. Gemini who is curious by nature, loves intellectual stimulation and being social, but can be immature and lack empathy which comes across as shallow and cold. Secondly, the Sun and Uranus align in the sign of Aries this morning, causing  interruptions and disruptions in our normal way of life and thinking and can turn us in new directions.

Today will make for an intellectual and stimulating day especially in regards to change. Today to get out of a rut you  may find yourself in, throw your energy into something you are curious about or make it a day to catch up on paperwork or catch up with an old trustworthy friend.

The Sun cojoins Uranus in Aries. Making it the wild card of the sky and very powerful today. This alignment of our ego and our inner rebel will help us release our inner self and make for a liberating few days! Today also marks the beginning a year-long conversation between them both. The Great Awakener and revolutionary planet helps us into a new cycle that will revolutionize our self.  This is going to be great for change, self awakening, revolution and rebellion. Not to mention Chiron moving into Aries we will be full steam ahead in our own personal development. However with all this Aries energy around we must pull yourself back into line, especially as Aries is ruled by Mars as we can tend to be too impulsive, selfish and reactivate. This is really a jump-start into our revolution if you can focus and wield this energy properly you will have great potential to grow and change for the better.

Wherever change needs to happen just remember that Uranus brings with it conversations and thoughts of sudden unexpected epiphanies, revolution, defiance and sparks of ” Ah ha” moments. Expect the unexpected.

 

Happy Hump Day!

Chiron Enters Aries 17/04/2018.

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Chiron moves from Pisces to Aries.

Today marks a  new, pioneering and fresh aspect to the realm of healing. As Chiron enters into Aries, beginning its transit on April 17th, 2018.

Chiron is called many different names, from  a comet, an asteroid and a planetoid. Its role in astrology relates to healing the wounds of our soul. These wounds that we carry with us create energy blockages which in turn can cause emotional, psychological and physical distress that impact our life significantly.

Chiron has been traveling through the transcendent and dreamy sign of Pisces for the past eight years, and today it is about to move into Aries. Aries is the male archetype sign that is ruled fire. It is the sign of the warrior, the go getter and adventurer.

Chiron gets us to do a self-assessment and to look deep into what is working, what isn’t, what repetitive patterns keep resurfacing, what emotional distress or fears seem to never go away and ultimately to see how well our life patterns are supporting our ability to heal and what affects this has on our health. It is important for each individual to remember that Chiron’s main role astrological speaking is help promote the assimilation of our mind, body and spirit framework to ultimately achieve balance in our energetic systems.

While Pisces provided us with a divine doorway to bliss, insight and an intuitive path into our soul and its needs, it also created a transparency and dependency. It opened a door to alcohol, drugs and other nasty substances of addiction. This includes addiction to technology and a loss of self-identity! The focus now it is in Aries, will move into a state of health consciousness and undergo a radial health transformation. We will likely see new and pioneering shifts of medicine and healing during this phase. Exciting stuff.

Heads up to those who have  planets in cardinal signs, such as Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn (Which I have 60% in my chart) those of us will experience this transit the most, we might find ourselves feeling triggered emotionally, drained or perhaps a loss of energy. Cardinal signs will be challenged the most. You will be affected more than once over the next eight years. This means that you will have to tap into your inner warrior and tune into the Aries energy of courage and strength in order to embrace the messages and healing coming to you from Chiron. Fires signs such as Sadge and Leo will be showered with more of the healing energy. Enjoy!

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and it represents our personal self-development and personality. We will begin a new search for our identity, look outside from a new prospective at anything that is bringing us down. We will redirect and re self orientate our self. The energy moves from yin to yang as Pisces was about the greater good and the collective as a whole and Aries moves us into the “Self” makes it personal and more about the individual. Expect yourself to be asking questions such as “What am a I fighting for?”  “Why am I really here?” and  “What is my purpose?”. This aspect encourages us to discover more about our self and to take back your power. It initiates us to take action, fight for what you want and believe in and don’t take “NO”.

As we are set into motion on finding out our true identity we must gain courage to look deep within our self. To have the courage to look at yourself and discover what needs healing in order to move forward is hard for anyone, but with a planetary push from Chiron we are able to do so with confidence and come to an understanding of our enlightened journey on this planet! It’s about real transformation now, embrace it.

Chiron is offering it to those who want its healing energy, but its the original source may come from of place of pain, loneliness and darkness. Our deepest seeded internal conflict can be resolved if you are will to do the work. Have you looked at natal chart to see where Chiron is sitting to gain some insight on how to heal yourself? No matter what your age, when Chiron transits Aries it will create a significant shift. It will have an effect on all of us in some way.

Chiron in Aries will shifts our focus from omega to alpha from water to fire. It will shift our healing and our wounds towards our ego, our masculine self and our will and drive. Remember, this will give us the opportunity to get face to face with our deep wounds and heal them. Especially in regards to these areas of our self that are associated with rage, motivation, drive, anger, assertiveness, our relationship with the masculine and self focus over the  incoming years.

Friday the 13th is all about Luck Today! 13/04/2018.

The Moon transits Pisces most of the day.

The Pisces Moon forms a sextile with Pluto in Capricorn and forms a trine to expansive Jupiter in Scorpio.

Happy Friday the 13th! Lucky for us today continues with much of the same sense as yesterday, giving us a romantic, dreamy, imaginative and gentle break.We have a very  exciting weekend a head as we will see Mercury station direct ( Yay)  and a New Moon in Aries!

Over the weekend, it would be wise to spend some time alone with your own sensitivity and depth. If you are spiritual, engage with your spiritual practice and spend as much time as possible in nature or in meditation and yoga. If you are more creative than engage with your imagination to create something spectacular or something with iridescent beauty through art , music or writing. Enjoy this slower pace of life before we hit Aries energy where life is fast pace and very Go GO GO.

The Pisces Moon forms a sextile with Pluto in Capricorn and forms a trine to expansive Jupiter in Scorpio. Key words to remember today are feelings, insight, creativity, healing and expansion. Take a look at your life, this aspect is great at helping you give a face lift to certain areas that you may feel “Stuck in “. The Pisces Moon means that we are connected with our higher self and spiritual side and Pluto in Capricorn is all about pushing us to make changes in the real world. The past will seem incredibly relevant as issues can surface at the moment to give you insight on what changes need to be made. s Scorpio is all about hidden truths and when its energy is combined with the good luck and planet, your good luck and abundance will come in the form of listening to your feelings and emotions and acting upon them.  We will have a strong urge to take steps to better ourselves, or perhaps solve a long-standing problem or even give a long overdue apology to someone and mend a broken relationship.

 

Happy Friday!

Take it or leave it. April 6th, 2018.

The Moon leaves Sadge and enters Capricorn.

Mercury Retrograde in Aries semisextiles Venus in Taurus.

Today we wake up with a bit of a morning excitement or you may feel more defiant and cheeky as the excessive Sagittarius Moon makes contact with rebellious Uranus. You may find yourself feeling inspired and upbeat or simply unsettled and agitated. My advice for this friday.. go with the flow and roll with it, this aspect will pass quickly.

The Moon continues its transit of Sagittarius until this afternoon when it enters Capricorn. As the Moon in any sign represents how “I Feel” you will find that this morning will bring with it curiosity, playfulness and adventure but as we enter the afternoon the mood turns more practical, stable and driven. Today use the fun light-hearted energy of the morning to get you ready for the weekend, dream, creative and think of fun adventures that could play out over the weekend. By the afternoon you will be more grounded and stable to put your plans into action as you will have more structure on what you want to achieve over the coming days

 

Mercury Retrograde in Aries semisextiles Venus in Taurus. This harmonious alignment connects our intellect a communication with  the heart, love and beauty. Today use this energy and communicate how you really feel with someone special, Mercury Retrograde is helping us by slowing us down to connect on how we truly feel at the moment and Venus is helping us connect and care about relationships and your connection with others today.

Happy Friday!

The Moon is in Virgo.

The Sun in Aries squares Saturn in Capricorn.

As the Moon passes through organised, efficient and analytical Virgo, you feel driven to accomplish things today especially if it’s at work, your health or at home organisation.

Last year on December 21st, Saturn returned to his home sign of Capricorn, as well as joining the Sun and beginning an annual cycle. This cycle has brought forth some  seriousness, stability and responsibility to the table. Today we reach the First Quarter Square between them, it’s a day  for action, reflection and a day to face to reality!

The Sun in Aries squares Saturn in Capricorn. Creating tension and a lot of friction between our conscious self/Ego and the planet of Karma, Mastery and lessons.Today will be a great time to consider or review what your responsibilities are? What blocks or issues are holds you back? What is striking a nerve of late? As your patience on these matters are here to teach you maturity, wisdom , self-respect and mastery!Face all of  your circumstances with determination as these issues are what we are meant to be  learning.

Today remember that all this intense energy will pass. Have a great Easter everyone and a wonderful day!

Don’t Try to Control Those Around You.23/03/2018.

Venus in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn.

Mercury  in Retrograde in Aires.

Today brings a powerful transit between Venus in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn. This  transit will cause tension and friction between the planet of love and finances and the lord of the underworld and change! This means there will be intensity and possible turmoil in our relationships over the next 3 days! If anything, this will demonstrate the importance of deep change and  the importance of getting out of our own way and seeing all sides to any story or argument in your loving relationships. Issues or stuff that we are not looking for at the moment can arise right now. Thanks to Mercury Retrograde, everything is being brought up to the surface for healing, whether we like it or not!

This is not all bad! If you are in a less than stable, unhealthy partnership, where you finally realize your own self-worth this could bring the final break or push you need to make a change. On the other, if you are in a balanced healthy relationship this transit could give you that extra push to bring up those little things that have been bugging you lately! Welcome this change  to occur so that we can move forward in a positive way (although at the time it may seem like a curse, but you will see the blessing in the lesson soon enough).

 

As I have mentioned it is Mercury retrograde be acutely aware of how you are communicating between yourself and your loved ones. Allow yourself to loosen your grip as power play dynamics and control issue will come into play and will be very strong! Just steer clear of this and especially let go of trying to control every situation, being pushy, playing a victim, don’t get jealous, don’t give into power dynamics, or obsessing and becoming very  possessive.

The reality is that you can’t control others full stop! Release your attachment to the outcome.

With Venus in Aires and Mercury retrograde this is also not a time to make new financial investments, Even if the attraction is intensely powerful

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

MERCURY RETROGRADE in Aires! 22/03/2018

MERCURY RETROGRADE in Aires!

The Moon is in Gemini.

By the time you wake up this morning, the Moon has entered inquisitive, ambitious, intellectual and restless Gemini. While the Moon makes her way through Gemini, you will find that not only yourself but others  tend to be more light-hearted, social and talkative.Gemini in is an Air sign so thoughts and communications come into play today. Curiosity and being alert of your surrounds and the conversations being had will spark your interest,  also you will be more aware and more alert of others intentions. However, today being Mercury Retrograde  don’t be surprised if your communications or you normally quick ways if thinking somehow fall flat.

Mercury, the communication and mental realm planet that rules Gemini turns Retrograde This may leave you feeling somehow stuck in your communications in the way you think, your travel plans, business plans, home  loans and contracts.

During this period we may struggle or have some difficulties saying what we want to say, or saying things that leave you wondering” Why the hell did I just say that, i didn’t mean it in that context” well that’s if you can even manage to get the words out.

Keys to remember during this Mercury Retrograde…

  • It is best not to start new projects, but it is a great time to reconsidering an initiative venture or project. It’s great for coming up with new ideas and adventures, but remember do not pursue them yet!!! Dream, draw up plans, make list get the all the  information together first and review review review! It’s also strong time for returning, revisiting and rethinking an old project or pursuit you have left on the back burner.We can gain new clarity during  this upside down period!
  • The shortness of  Aries communications is magnified making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of topics and wording. The chances of sharp or  harsh comments can do some damage in the long run.
  • Mercury rules information, communication, reasoning, our manner of thinking, travel, technology, logic and how we express all of these! Its our thought processes and all Mercury related things right now can be off-center. It may feel difficult to say what you want to say, and you can leave conversations  wondering if you were understood. Communications are scrambled. Expected the unexpected and clarify all that you do, travel plans, communication , instructions, save and back up your work and even get people to relay what you have just said to them to avoid mishaps. And if you don’t get whats being said relay it back! everyone is experience this Mercury Retrograde!
  • As I mention Mercury is related to technology so for the next month if you can avoid it, it is not the best time to buy a phone, new computer or tv.
  • Signing your life away for a new home, a lease, car or any contracts BE CARE read all the information, as not all the information is not in yet or could be missing. Human error, computer error and Mercury error is in play and we do not want to regret doing anything later.

When Mercury Retrograde is in Aries, our mind and thoughts are going at a thousand miles an hour! Everything is GO GO GO, we may get frustrated if people are not thinking or doing as quick as we are. Aries energy when communicating is magnified.. EEk making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of words, tones and topics.There will be a chances that we may become sharp, blunt or unemotional when making comments and this can do damage. If you feel like you can’t get out of your head and its building up to a point of frustration and you want to explode take a breath, go for a walk, exercise and take some time to reign your thoughts! Do not let your temper, stubborn, impulsive mind take over your mind and how we communicate to others. Aires Mercury Retrograde has the ability to make us feel as what we say and feel is the right way, and have the arrogance to ignore the facts, When people who question our logic and reasoning we can act impulsively and aggressively! As my mother also told me ” Andy THINK before you speak or act ”

 

Some say this will be a time of tension, however, we need to remember the positive side of  Mercury in Aries. Mercury in Aires wants progress, answers, no more procrastination. Its time to push our self to make those positive steps to benefit our self in the long run. Get through obstacles, push our own boundaries, be selfish for once.We have the courage to get the message across and speak up for our self when normally we would sit in silence. When Mercury is in Aires especially when its stationed retrograde we have a great opportunity  to taker a step back and have a deeper look at our past decisions, patterns, behaviors and ideas from a new and possibly enlightening  perspective. Change is highly possible!

Please ,carefully consider how to manage the turbulent energy of Aires this Mercury Retrograde which continues until April 15th. Remember, Mercury retrograde is a powerful time for accomplishment if you plan and prepare accordingly. Something I really need to take note on!

Happy Mercury Retrograde gang!

This is a No Rush day! 21/3/2018.

Crescent Moon in Taurus.

The Moon in Taurus opposes Jupiter.

Today the Moon is still in steadfast grounded Taurus. The Moon and Taurus go really well together.They are both creatures of comfort and habit! Today allows your heart to embrace the excitement and pleasure of the finer things in life, such as food, relaxing, entertainment, treating yourself to the naughtier things in life or by simply enjoying all the beauty that is all around you. Sensual pleasures and activities along those lines appeal now more than usual, as Taurus is ruled by Venus who is all about love! Taurus is a fixed, Earth sign that represents being grounded, reliability, growth and appreciation. A lesson we could learn today is patience, acceptance and to bring beauty into our lives. Such as buying some fresh flowers for the house or a scented candle or some art. We could be kinder to yourself and others, give someone the benefit of the doubt or treat yourself to a massage.

The Moon in Taurus opposes Jupiter. Jupiter is the lucky planet of expansion and abundance but when these to opposes each other we’re tempted to go overboard on any activity that is taking our fancy., especially if it is to combat boredom. Taurus as I have mention is ruled by Venus who is also about money and finances and with Jupiter in play we may go over board on our spending! So watch your wallet today and watch yourself overindulging especially if you are trying to watch your weight as over eating and drinking is a major possibility today!

Also, remember guys tomorrow Mercury stations retrograde in fiery Aires until April 15th. If you have noticed  communication breakdowns, travel plans muddled up and technology mishaps have been occurring this week it is because we are leading up to Mercury retrograde. Our communication and thought process could get a tad feisty, egotistic and forceful more than normal during this period. A good way to keep your mind clear is to prepare and choose your battles wisely ! Start a list of all projects or anything else that needs to be done or has been left undone over the past few months, ponder on them and don’t relaunch them until this period of Mercury Retrograde is over! Don’t sign any official documents  unless its necessary! Consider yourself warned!

 

Have a great day!

New Moon in Pisces! Profound Healing is happening! 17/03/201.

New Moon in Pisces.

Saturday, 17th we had a New Moon in Pisces. A New Moon is when the Moon is black! At this lunar point, the Moon is recharging and getting prepared for its next Lunar cycle. This New Moon will be recharging and pulling in Pisces energy. This New moon energy is going to be very welcomed one! Its positive, it’s that feeling of “finally the fog is lifted” and we are returning back to our normal state. Connection, passion, our drive, it’s the return of you. Have you felt like you have retreated and hidden over last few months ?learning lessons, expanding, experiencing growth? Even if it has made you uncomfortable, unsure, unsafe, some of you may of experienced heartache and difficult challenges? However those periods of discomfort have got you to a point now that you can appreciate the return of yourself! I know I have felt over the past week that my dreams, desires, my inner light has sparked back up again. It’s a nice feeling to be me again. If you, like many of us have been challenged in the lead up to this New Moon, just remember you don’t need to suffer alone by trying to solve your challenge. Ask for help, assistance, advise and healing. Surrender your burdens, to whom ever you talk to, your family, friends, angels, guides, the universe, god or your ancestors.

This is a time to slow down, take a breath remember who you are. Take a moment to go inwards for revelations and reflections. Breath and release any and all tension! Its been a tough firy few months for everyone!

As we know Pisces is a water sign, its connections are to anything mystical, spiritual, imagination, emotional, intuitive and creative. Pisces is also about be of service to others. The Moon and Sun both will both sit at 26 degrees. If we add up two and six we get eight. Eight in numerology is a power play number! This New Moon in Pisces will be, in a sense a very powerful one and will be pulling in extra powerful Pisces energy. Being around others, sharing your dreams, dreaming up creations and projects, day dreaming about the future and building up others will be a high priority. Do you have a passion for something? Cooking? photography? Art? Music? People? Mysticism? This New Moon is going to help you get your creative intuitive juices flowing!

This New Moon pay attention to your dreams, psychic imprints repetitive numbers symbols, situations and thoughts. Tune into your energy and especially tune into others to get more of an idea of the people around you. Become selfless and give your self in a way that benefits everyone. This Pisces New Moon will really help people of service, such as nurses, medical professionals, careers, artist, volunteers etc.. Pisces being a water sign is all about nurturing , love and being caring. As you write your New Moon manifestation list try to incorporate these qualities and energies into your wish list.

As I have mentioned it’s the power of the eight energy so you will feel things more deeply, passionately, intently. You may feel more in love with life, fall in love, deepen your love for someone. You will feel compassion for others and feel attractions strongly. However with every up there is a down, we may feel the more negative side of Pisces, such as feeling negative emotions. If someone criticizes you, does not reciprocate your feelings or communications, you may get jealous, or if you experience rejection you will feel this on a much larger scale.

This New Moon in Pisces conjunct Chiron. As the New Moon conjuncts Chiron it brings awareness and a focus on healing and enlightenment. It also illuminates those dark deep wounds and pains that need healing along with any repressed emotions. As we release and heal we let go of situations that bound us down and restrict us for being free, from having to be in control. Ask for divine intervention if needed!

This New Moon is going to have the ability to free us, it will be the return of you. Blocks will be lifted so when you write down your manifestation list incorporate your dreams, any healing needed, compassion, what you want for others or world peace. Be grateful for what you have and focus on working on what you can manifest that benefits everyone around you!

Happy New Moon manifesting!

The Moon transits into Pisces

By the time you get going today, the Moon has entered passive, intuitive and dreamy Pisces.Yesterday brought a relatively quiet day well for some, with a large focus on the unusual and quirky and unique thinking patterns,a kind courtesy of the Aquarius Moon.

Today brings a somewhat similar quiet day as well. But today we have traded in our unusual thinking for more of a deep sense of emotion, day dreaming, creativity, empathy, and compassion for others. Today is a great day to daydream, be creative and getting in touch with our self. If you are on a mystical pursuit today is the day to connect with your guides, the divine and angels. However don’t get to cough up and lost up in the airy fairy magical energy. Make your decisions from the heart but balance it with logic. Meaning doesn’t quit your job to pursue a life of being an artist, especially if you have never painted before. This does not mean you can’t swim around in your dreams and future adventures. That’s the magic and excitement of life especially when it comes to manifesting our dreams!

Don’t forget we have a New Moon occurring in Pisces in just two days, so it’s a great time ti sit down and come up with what ideas you want to manifest during this lunar cycle.

 

Happy Thursday everyone!
