The Moon is in Aquarius.

The Sun in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn.

Today we have the Moon still in Aquarius, and it is Aquarius  providing us with objectivity and open-minded detachment to situations and resolutions that can allow us to remain emotionally removed from the outcome. Today is great to step outside your comfort zone, interact with like-minded and the more unusual folk. Spark up interesting conversations and work towards a more progressive way of thinking and being under the Moon’s influence in Aquarius. You will crave independence and freedom today use this as a breakthrough and let it propel you into new interesting areas.

As we head into the afternoon, you may come face to face the darker side of the day. The Sun in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn. This can stir up some tension between our conscious self and the planet of transformation and power. Pluto is intense on a good day and now that we have friction arising, we can experience some power play and control dynamics with others or even internally if we don’t watch our thoughts. This tension can  particularly happen with authority figures or people in charge.

The Sun in Aries is means that we are very independent and superior and that falling  back into line is not an option, and on the other hand Pluto energy is oppressive and controlling as it squares the Aries Sun. Today, the key to handling these energies is action on your behalf. Action meaning  something is being required of you, perhaps a change in direction, we may need to find balance, practice self-control, not be reactive, aggressive or impulsive. Today its best if you can find the balance between asserting yourself in the right situation and knowing when to back down and wait.

Have a good day!

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!

Retrograde Mercury squares Saturn in Capricorn.

The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Retrograde Mercury squares Saturn in Capricorn. Causing some unwanted tension between our intellect and communication and the planet of Karma and Lessons. You can probably anticipate an early morning disagreement or worse an argument this morning if you do not watch out. This disagreement may not only be with another person but it could happen internally. Mercury in Aries is very much “I want” and ” I am going to say what I think is right”  Head butting with the Teacher and Master of structure, saying well no this is how it is going to be. This aspect could be great for reigning in your ego. The key for today is…  You must aim to not just say things or do things before thinking of the long-term consequences. Push through your sense of reluctance that Saturn will be bestowing on you today, by thinking things through on an objective level.

The day can only get better from there, and it does! For the rest of the day, you should be in relatively high spirits feeling seen and appreciated in this magical world. This is due to the Moon being in lively Sagittarius all day. The energy is lightened and the mood is tainted with a go and get them approach. You are fun and thrill seeking and are attracted to new situations especially if it means a new conquest. Remember, in all of your interactions with others keep your spirits as bubbly as possible and don’t forget to share the good positive vibes around. 

 

Happy Thursday!

Watch Your Words and Reactions 04/04/18.

The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Mars in Capricorn squares Mercury Retrograde.

By the time your day begins, the Moon has entered adventurous Sagittarius bringing a bit of liveliness to the table. When the Moon is in playful Sadge, we are adventure seeking, social and willing to learn about the world around us! Unfortunately, that fun-loving energy is contradicted by an irritable and not so friendly square between aggressive Mars and Retrograde Mercury.

Retrograde Mercury squares Mars in Capricorn. As I have mentioned this will cause some friction between our will and drive and our intellect and communication! Mercury being in retrograde means that we are not thinking things through methodically or issue’s are being brought up to the surface that we need to deal with, ad into the mix the power of our ego and drive and we have a very impulsive, reactive day! Be careful of your conversations, take time to consider what is about to come out of your thoughts and mouth. Watch out for tempers flaring, impulse behaviors, and over reacting. Do not let others temper tantrums get to you! This square aspect also causes common conflict between your responsibilities and  those things you would like to spend the day on.

Try and have a peaceful day!

The Moon is in Scorpio.

The Moon in Scorpio conjuncts Jupiter in Scorpio.

The Moon sextiles Pluto in Capricorn and trines Chiron in Pisces.

Happy Tuesday, I hope everyone had a magical Easter. The Moon is in Scorpio, and this is great for getting to the bottom of hidden truths, especially in regards to how we are feeling! Truths on how you are going emotionally and we will find we are incredibly in touch with our feelings and the feelings of those around you. When we have a Scorpio Moon in play you can expect a certain intensity for the day… a deep intensity. Scorpio loves the realm of passion, emotions, desire and on the shadow side, suffering, sorrow and conflict! The key is to manage these issues and their intensity with an honest heart and open mind!

The Moon in Scorpio conjuncts Jupiter in Scorpio. Jupiter is well-known to be the planet of luck, abundance and expansion. Good luck for you today (As we have both planets in Scorpio) will be from listening to your feelings and desires and acting upon them.

The Moon sextiles Pluto in Capricorn and trines Chiron in Pisces. Pluto represent change and transformation, and Chiron represents old wounds and healing. You feel moved to explore issues of lasting change and growth in your life. Today healing and change comes from tuning into our inner self and connecting within. Healing and change will also be about listening to others! Really hearing what they have to say. By reading between the lines you can pick up what someone is really about. little hidden truths that you may have missed before. Clues that inform you on things that you may not have seen yourself before.

Don’t be afraid to speak the truth today, dont over rationalize yourself today as what surfaces up will not be impersonal or superficial. Today whatever pulls your attention its way in any areas of your life, you will know it will require change, these deep issues will simmer within your heart throughout the day.

Happy Tuesday!

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!

The Moon enters Virgo.

Retrograde Mercury in Aires semisextiles Neptune in Pisces.

Today brings with it a Virgo Moon, inviting a more relaxed energy and slowing us down especially after the previous two days of dramatic up and downs of the Leo Moon.The Virgo Moon energy is more patient, organised and focused. It also has the ability to solve problems as well as being flexible and adaptable if needed.

Retrograde Mercury in Aires semisextiles Neptune in Pisces. Connecting our communication and conscious with the planet of intuition, illusion and mysticism. Mercury/Neptune combining energies can be great for deepening and developing our spirituality, intuition and psychic ability! Today work on your inner knowing. Meditate, have a guess who is calling before you pick up the phone, work with tarot cards, journal, dream and be creative! Your inner world and day dreaming is key right now! However, please keep in mind that Mercury is in retrograde. This is not the time to begin something, especially if it is quirky and seems brilliant just find your excitement in what is already on the table, whats in front of you, dream big, get your ideas and plans together for the right time!

 

Venus aligns with Uranus in assertive Aries today. You may feel rebellious and impatient. This alignment brings out our rebellious and imperial side! However, the transit of Uranus and Venus encourages some unwanted or wanted depending who you are intense and sudden changes in your  relationships, money, love and creative projects,l especially if you have been craving change! Expect the unexpected! Don’t take risk you are not willing to see through! Remember, this will pass in a few days, don’t jeopardize  your life especially relationships on a passing whim, emotion or restlessness.

Today we will find that we will go out of your way to avoid boredom, seek  more stimulation and excitement. Have a great day!

Be Open Hearted Today! 27/03/2018.

The Moon is in Leo.

The Moon forms a trine to Mercury.

The Moon continues its transit through fun-loving playful Leo, meaning we get another day to relax into easy, playful, child like self-expression. It’s a another day we crave love and attention. It’s also great for those who have children or children in their lives to be spontaneous! Remember the joy of imagination and playing and consider spending time with them in simple, creative playful ways, bake cupcakes, play hide and seek or who doesn’t love to dress up?

When the Moon is in Leo we must also remember that life can be dramatic! Some will find themselves either center stage for good reason or for not so good reason. So watch how you treat others today, avoid being vapid and watch for your high expectation’s of others. Balance Leo’s open-hearted generosity with its s self-contentedness.

The Moon forms a lovely trine to Mercury today. This harmonious trine helps us express ourselves in a more balanced way, words will flow easily and fluent. So if you have been waiting for the chance or a right time to get those certain words out and communication something special to someone today is the day! Our thoughts are balanced and it is especially a great day to talk your feeling, affections and intentions towards others.

 

Have a great day!

Are you suffering symptoms of Mercury Retrograde?

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

Yes , we are in a Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde is great at helping bring to our attention those shadow parts of us, parts we may of felt that didn’t need healing. Mercury retrograde is great at highlighting where the healing lies and the truth can be found. In Mercury Retrograde communication, travel, technology, equipment, travel and contracts can be upside down, backwards, misinterpreted, breakdowns and unnecessary disagreements occur.

At work, you can find yourself frustrated even though you’re sure that you’ve explained yourself clearly, people around you do the opposite and your fail-proof computer crashes. You experience equipment and mechanical breakdowns of all types even at home, when out and your car!

Mercury does rule the mind, mental clarity, talking, self-expression so all these over this period can become  unreliable, filled with misinformation where important data is missing or misunderstood. During this period we should watch for too hasty communications as Mercury rules our communications and thought process and well in Aires we can become very direct ,assertive and self-centered. Say what must be said but try to remember to do so with kindness and compassion.

Mercury Retrograde in Aires gives us the courage to take action on something you have struggled with over the past few weeks. What curve balls have you been dealing with over the past month? What repetitive issues seem to be surfacing? Career, a friendship, your living circumstance, a draining relationship?

If you  have found yourself or parts of yourself being exposed, and in order to work on yourself you are stressed you must remember that you also need to love yourself unconditionally. When there is a lot going on give yourself some space, as much as the mind wants order, you will find when too much is going on we get agitated and stressed. When there is times of stress you must remember you are feeling a lot of things, so give yourself some space. Give yourself permission to experience those emotions instead of categorising it, organising it. Just let what needs to be revealed,happen. In these topsy upside and can be dark days of stress and frustration use your energy and see the small joys and blessing in your day. Even though you may be suffering and want to go on strike, see the small happy moments in the day and the lesson in the bad situations! Don’t stuff your feelings away,

The discomfort  and madness we are going through and experience on any level in Mercury Retrograde or not there is a choice to choose love and happiness! You can love someone and be mad, you can be frustrated but still caring, go with the flow, be present to everything that’s going on during this period, and don’t disqualify it because there is discomfort!! It often takes deep courage to admit to your mistakes and it is likely that is a necessary part of the conversation you must have. We all make mistakes, take responsibility and move forward with determination and love.

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!
