The Moon is in Sagittarius

The Moon in Sagittarius forms a challenging aspect to both Venus and Neptune.

The Sun in Leo sesquiquadrates retrograde Neptune in Pisces.

There may be a sense of listlessness in the air when you awake this morning. You’d like to pull the covers over your head and resist facing the day at all.

The Moon is in Sagittarius which normally keeps us feeling upbeat, adventurous, open and ready to learn and experience new ideas and directions. However, the Moon forms a challenging aspect to both Venus and Neptune. Today don’t be surprised if you feel as you are being pulled in different directions, or somewhat unmotivated and lazy! As much as you’d like to pull the covers over your head and resist facing the day or looking for an easy escape may seem like the ideal thing to do, however I can assure you that if you push yourself to experience or see things differently you will be very pleased, the world may even look different if you try just a little today. This will be especially true if you push yourself a bit to see or experience something you have resisted in the past.

The Sun in Leo sesquiquadrates retrograde Neptune in Pisces. When the planet of mysticism and dreams clashes with our ego and conscious self it creates tension between OUR reality and delusions. Try not to avoid reality today, finding a happy medium between your spirit and ego is the key for today! It’s a day for working on your creativity, dreams and spiritual; practice, however don’t get to hard on yourself or caught up in the fine details try to honor your flaws and best qualities.

Happy Monday!

There is Work to be Done! 24/07/2018.

Venus in Virgo opposes retrograde Neptune in Pisces.

The Moon enters Capricorn.

The emotional environment is calm and uneventful for most of Tuesday with the Moon  in Sagittarius for most of the morning. We do get a reality check when the Moon enters Capricorn later today. Responsibilities and work commits become clearer today as you get back into routine and structure. Capricorn is all hard work in order to develop integrity and mastery in all parts of your life. Use this energy to get those important tasks done, to get your head in order and make a plan! No more getting lost or caught up in Sagittarius whimsy, adventurous and escapism ways.

Venus in Virgo opposes retrograde Neptune in Pisces. This will cause some tension as the both planets energy are at an opposition with each other. Tension when it comes to romantic matters and our deepest wants and needs or lack of are exacerbated today, some will be in denial looking at love or current relationships through rose-coloured glasses. Don’t jump to any conclusions or make any decisions as it is unlikely that you have all the information necessary to do so. Venus and Neptune normally can be lovely for creativity, romance, compassion and self-less service. but at an opposition with each other concerns in our relationships and finances will be playing on our mind. The key for today is to find balance, compassion and understanding whilst using your discernment and being honest.

 

Have a great day!

Scorpio Moon forms a challenging square aspect to retrograde Mars

The Scorpio Moon forming a sextile to Venus and then forming a conjunction to  Jupiter.

This morning may start out a bit rough for some as the Scorpio Moon forms a challenging square aspect to retrograde Mars. This can cause some tension and friction between you and anyone on your path! Try to avoid arguments or blowing your fuse this morning as it will be very easy to lose your cool and frustrations can go from 0 to 100 in a split second.Keep in mind that retrograde Mars’ provides us with an opportunity to explore, dissolve, and eliminate toxic anger.

Good news is that the day smooths out and exciting for enough for us,offers us an evening that is made for love, romance and an opportunity to form close and deep connections with close friends and lovers. This is all thanks to Moon forming a sextile to Venus and then forming a conjunction to expansive and lucky Jupiter. Jupiter will expand your emotions and feelings and Venus’s energy means that the bond with others is one of deep love and connection. A love that expands and fills your heart on a deeply profound soul growth level. Don’t settle for light social fling tonight. Connect with others on a powerful deep level for maximum satisfaction.

 

Happy Friday!

Tuesday, July 10, 2018:

 Jupiter stations direct at 13’20 Scorpio.

Since March 9th of this  Jupiter, the planet that represents abundance, luck, expansion and higher understanding and growth has been retrograde. During the time of Jupiter’s retrograde, we have been internally reviewing and revising our beliefs and understanding of our personal path and our growth. Today as Jupiter stations direct at 13’20 Scorpio now it is a time to trust in your revision and hope it has done its work. Be ready to move in this new direction on your path . You are ready to move forward with a new enlightened outlook.

Jupiter being the most powerful planet in the sky stationing direct means that the energy of luck, confidence, along with our willingness to succeed and take risk is high today! Use this new-found confidence to move forward on your new journey, whilst remembering your new lessons and guidance.

 

Have a great day.

Take Responsibility!

The Sun in Cancer opposes retrograde Saturn in Capricorn.

The Full Moon enters Capricorn.

The Sun in Cancer opposes retrograde Saturn in Capricorn. Today brings an unmistakable heavy atmosphere as the Sun in Cancer opposes restrictive Saturn. This opposition will create tension between our ego and conscious self and the Master teacher and lord of karma. In late December of 2017, we seen the Sun and Saturn come together. Consider and think back to that time… what began at that time and you may be able to see adjustments that may need to be made now. What have you created since then and where do you want to take it as you step forward. At this time  the energy demands we get real. This is a day to take yourself and your situations along with others seriously. A time to step up and take responsibility for where you find yourself in this present moment, look clearly at reality. Also to really see what IS rather than what could or used to be. It’s not a day to sugarcoat anything. This is a day to spend time alone working on your ambitions and own goals. With the Moon entering Capricorn today it means that we need to get serious about the work that we want to accomplish.

We see the Full Moon enter Capricorn late tonight! Marking the midway point of the current lunar cycle we are in that began with the new moon in Gemini on June 13th. This Full Moon pushes us to see our mistakes clearly and make adjustments. It’s a Full Moon to get real, grounded, put in the hard work and taking into account our responsibilities. It’s a time to be productive, practical and to offer kindness to anyone you encounter,  offer support of a more serious kind.

 

Happy Hump Day!

Understanding what makes you tick or motivates you is the name of the game! 26/06/2018.

The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Mars stations retrograde at 9’13  Aquarius.

Today offers us a quieter day, a day to dream of travel and spiritual awakening. The Moon is in Sagittarius most of the day following a square aspect to dreamy, mystical Neptune early this morning. Get lost in day dreaming, arts or curl up and watch a movie that ignites your imagination.Allow yourself to dream, allow yourself to imagine any and all expansive explorations that you desire. With mars turning retrograde today it is not a day to try to accomplish anything or start new projects. This is a day meant for dreamers.

The highlight of the day is when Mars turns retrograde at 9° Aquarius. Mars will remain in retrograde until August 27th, 2018.When Mars stations retrograde, it is not a time to take action or initiate new things. It is more of a time when we need to re-assess our approach to getting what we want, our current projects or hobbies and our desires and needs. This energy is one of healing and a time to deal with the past. Look to the house in your natal chart that holds Aquarius  as you consider how to use this retrograde. Some can find it  difficult to know what we want as the shift occurs, as well as how to organize  our emotions especially the hot-headed ones such as rage, anger, control and jealously. During this retrograde phase, learning to reign in your will, rage, drive, anger and aggression and work to master these characters, that is the key over the coming weeks. It is also important that you examine how you have been using anger, aggression, and drive in your life. To make amends, to re-visit and release. It is a time to learn new ways to direct these energies moving forward.

 

Have a great day!

Monday is about love, people and wonderful magic Moments! 25/06/2018.

Monday 25th June, 2018.

The Moon enters Sagittarius.

Venus in Leo square Jupiter in Scorpio.

The Sagittarius Moon forms a sextile to Mars in Aquarius than trines Chiron in Aires.

The Moon enters Sagittarius. This is an instant energy booster as you get some spring in your step ready to and ready to go and ready explore the day ahead. If you have some steam to blow off today is the day! It’s great energy to be out and about, see the magic that is all around you, to mingling and strike up new and interesting conversations. It’s also a great day to get out and explore the world around you.. This includes booking a flight or adventure for those who need a little cosmic push!

Today we see Venus in Leo square Jupiter in Scorpio. Venus in Leo leaves you feeling confident within yourself , our wants and needs for affection and attention are high. We are playful and cheeky as we seek out someone to fulfill our needs desires. Venus in Leo is all about being in the moment in love, relationships, beauty and finances! On the other hand, Jupiter the planet of good luck , abundance and good fortune and in Scorpio, we have access and are easily able to tap into our intuition for guidance and luck. Today our good luck and abundance is gained by tapping into our selves and tuning in to what we really need intuitively. If you really listen to your feelings you will get amazing results today. So today its best to listen to your inner voice and feelings and work out what are the best circumstance you would want to manifest in your life! What is the best mode of action and direction that benefits and works best for you? Today it’s about thinking and knowing you deserve the best and thinking along the lines of “how can I improve my circumstances”. If you focus inwards at this time you will get the best answer and the next directional step forward in any area of your life. However, this aspect can also leave some over doing it today. Which i don’t mind seeing its my birthday! Watch out for over indulging, over stating feelings and emotions, being overly self-assured, over spending on our affections and proclaiming some serious love.. Think shouting it from the rooftop. Be careful not to slip up and get caught up in the moment and overstate your feelings, well unless you are sure that is!

The Sagittarius Moon forms a sextile to Mars in Aquarius than trines Chiron in Aires. We see the Moon which is our emotions form relationships with the Mars, the male archetype and principle in the sign of Aquarius which is the sign of “being of service, community and outward thinking” and Chiron the wounded healer in Aires, which is all about self-healing. It’s a day for self-healing by being around others! By healing yourself and sharing your story you are able to help those around you to step up and do self-healing. You have this amazing aura and connection to those around you today. People are able to see you for your authentic self and commend you for your journey, ts ok to say you have wounds to heal and yes you can find yourself amongst the storm and chaos. It’s ok to be bruised and still be happy!!!

Have a great day!

Happy Monday!

Winter Solstice as the Sun enters Cancer. 21/06/2018.

The Sun moves out of Gemini and into Cancer.

Venus in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius.

Welcome to Cancer season yay! The Sun enters the intuitive, domestic and nurturing sign of Cancer. Shifting us from  air to water energy. Today also marks the winter solstice. With the Sun in Cancer you will find that you are more focused on relationships and those who are the closet to you. Trust, turning inwards, home and family life will be highlighted this month.

Venus in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius. this opposition only happens once a year. Venus and  Mars are sitting 180 degrees from each other. Venus energy is very feminine and Mars energy is very masculine, and as they oppose each other today you will feel that you may long for the either one or the others energy in your life. Whenever they aspect each other the potential for creativity, fertility and romance are high. This yin and yang energy is also great for sudden break through… especially when it comes to business and travel adventures. Launch that website, ask for a pay rise, book those tickets, make your big plans happen or just get things started at least with the Venus and Mars energy sitting so far away from each other ( As much as they are against each other today) they will eventually join up where they belong and create something new.  However this opposition will cause friction and you may find it hard to appreciate what you have especially as you keep looking over your shoulder for what you think you would prefer or always telling yourself something better will be coming along. Balance of the male and female energy is key today and appreciating the life you have!

I want to take this opportunity as a Cancer to clear up a misunderstanding I often see expressed about us Cancer’s. Everyone seems to know that Cancer is sensitive, moody, nurturing and tender. However, do not mistake our kindness for weakness or our  sensitivity at that.  Please, make no mistake, Cancer is a powerful sign in its own right! The worst thing you could ever do is take the trusting and forgiving nature of Cancer and abuse your power, we have crab claw’s for a reason and we are very in tune when we think something doesn’t sit right. Think of Cancer as the nurturing mother bear! Don’t ever mess with mamma bear Cancer especially if you assume she will not strike back!

Over the coming month it is a time to focus on home, family, emotions, inner experience and our connection to the Divine Mother.While the Sun is in Cancer, you may feel more drawn inwards, you may focus more on building deep roots and a sense of belonging. As your attention is drawn inward to your domestic life. Enjoy the more gentle, intuitive nature of this sign.

 

Have a great day!

The Moon enters Libra.

 The Sun in Gemini forms a square with the Libra Moon.

Today don’t be surprised if certain challenges arise, as we see the Sun and Moon at odds forming a square aspect with each other. Whatever seeds you planet at last week’s New Moon during this 1st quarter Moon phase will now be firm in the pipe lines, your projects take off and you should be able to see yours dreams coming to life, however this is also a crucial point where we are faced with the first set of obstacles and challenges… I can tell you funnily enough mine are all to do with communication or lack off ( ironic as it’s a Gemini New Moon which is all about communication). Some of us are feel an urgency to take action during this phase and others may find it  difficult to know what action to take but you know it is time to move forward with the understanding you gained since the New Moon last Wednesday.

It’s the last day of the Sun in Gemini, since May 20th, the Sun has been sitting in this witty, intelligent, inquisitive, curious and fast-talking Gemini. Tomorrow morning  the Sun enters nurturing, emotional and  inward Cancer.

The Moon enters diplomatic and harmonious Libra. This energy is lovely as it shows you how to move forward in a peaceful manner in regards to past or hurtful relationships. Libra Moon days also teach us that the best way to move forward is to face any issue with balanced, dispassionate and objectivity. It’s a day for working in harmony with others and face your challenges with race and an open heart.

Happy Wednesday!

New Moon in Gemini 2018.

New Moon in Gemini.

Mercury in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus.

Venus moves out of Cancer and into Leo.

We have a lot going on today starting off this morning we begin with Mercury who is currently sitting in sensitive in Cancer forming a sextile aspect to innovative, unearthing and some would say potentially life-changing Uranus. This exciting aspect will help us to link our mind, thoughts and communication with the planet of rebellion and unexpected twist in very unusual ways. This is a day about radical thinking, “Aha moments” and situations coming to light. With Cancer and Taurus energy involved these heighten awareness will come in the form of security, home, family, love and the past as these signs have deep connections to these areas…This is a great day to find an opportunity to let go of that which we hold onto, especially with a New Moon in the mix. Search around your home, your self and your routines and seek that of which does not serve you anymore, make room for the new. If you can get out in nature today, do so, touch a tree, put your feet in the sand, open yourself to what the Natural World has to teach you. You may be surprised!

The New Moon is at 22° Gemini. The New Moon is a time when we begin a new lunar. A new cycle of emotional and personal growth. Traditionally this is the time to plant seeds of intentions, of change and growth you want to tend over the coming month. Each month we are assisted by the energy of the sign the Moon sits in and this month we have are showered with Gemini energy. Gemini who is ruled by Mercury, energy is all about communication, ideas and expression.

In Gemini, we begin a cycle of understanding and communication. Consider your newest thoughts and ideas. Wait until tomorrow or later tonight to do your New Moon ritual. This gives you all day to contemplating new  ideas, thoughts, learning and ways of expressing yourself. This New Moon focus your intentions and New Moon wishes on working on your communication skills, engaging your mind and creativity, expanding your knowledge, and strengthening your understanding of ourselves and the world around us.Social skills will also be highlighted this New Moon. Get out and about this month, you just may meet someone or have a conversation that leads you one step closer to your dreams and goals. New ways of thinking and learning are another top priority for this New Moon in Gemini.

Venus, the planet of money, love and our deepest values, enters playful , proud and fun-loving Leo. Shifting the Goddess of Love and Beauty from yin to yang and from water to fire. We are now moving from a focus on the inside, to a shift to a more outward focus. Venus in Leo means passion, self-love, excitement and playfulness.Venus in Leo loves to have fun! We all require a bit more attention and adoration when Venus in Leo. You will feel best if you go out of your way to give the gift of attention and love to others.You may notice the world looking a little less vulnerable as we leave sensitive Cancer behind and we feel a little brighter. Over the coming weeks of Venus’ transit through Leo it is a great time to get in touch with the your inner child, enjoy life, love and beauty. However Leo is eccentric, overly self focused,  narcissistic and sometimes can be to proud, try not to take this energy on in your relationships, attitude towards others and being overly generous and silly with your money!

Happy New Moon wishing.
