Full Moon in Gemini and Mercury Turns Retrograde on 03/12/2017!

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Full Moon and Mercury Retrograde December, 2017.

This is the Christmas full Moon and it happens at 11 degrees in Gemini. The Full Moon has building up all month and now its reaches its fullest. It is fully illuminated by the Sun in Sagittarius and  is ready to shine down and share with us all this Gemini/Sadge  energy. Full Moons give us more energy, we get supercharged and we feel there is more going on behind the scenes. Being everything is at 11 degrees ie the Sun/ Moon which interesting, as the Moon is sitting at 11 degrees Gemini and if you look at Gemini its symbol is represented by 11. The number 11 is all about new doors opening, a new chapter, a new beginnings and opportunities, it’s about life changing decisions, marriages, partnership, new doors opening and new jobs.

This Full Moon has some significant energy presented to us this month. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, our thought process, travel and insight. This Full Moon has a great potential for us to make change in our life and to transform it. If you can picture this Full Moon as a magical door way (like Narnia) Opening us up to a magical new life of manifestations, new beginnings and abundance. Its going to be very impressive, and don’t be surprised by this all as 11:11 brings in the help of our guides, god, the universe, angels, ancestors and guardian angels to help you along the way to get you to the moment of awakening and insight.

The Gemini Full Moon brings full illumination to what occurred at the Scorpio New Moon last month on November 18th, 2017. Take out your New Moon wish book, because whatever your focus was on or whatever you began at the New Moon will now show its results, unless the universe has better plans for you!

Traditionally a Full Moon is a time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems. Release what no longer serves us or holds us back. Out with the old physical, emotional, spiritual and mental baggage to make room for bigger better things. Of course, however we might want to exercise some care and caution while doing so especially in the way we talk, communicate and process our thoughts. As Mercury did station retrograde on the same day. Which means communications, our thinking and taking in information has the potential to be scrambled or misinterpreted and what is coming out of us may not particularly rational, our dialogue can be misread and the way we communicate could be one-sided or misinterpreted.

The Sun is at 11 degrees in Sagittarius and is 180 degrees away from the Moon illuminating it. The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity axis is some what divergent as Gemini represents our “lower mind” and Sagittarius represents our “higher mind” The Sun in Sagittarius itself is all about a higher learning and understanding. Sagittarius persuades us to think in a far broader manner,we seek mystical knowledge, expand our learning in unconventional ways. We want to connect to the divine and embark on care free adventures. Where as a Gemini encourages us to think logically, practically and factual.

Those of us who are abstract thinkers, this Full Moon is really going life the veil and help up reach that higher self and learning, meditating will be great to connect with these other realms and absorbs new information

The Full Moon is almost exact square to Neptune in Pisces at 11 degrees. Neptune in Pisces is happy, it’s a water sign of dreaming illusion, INTUITION, fantasy, denial and escapism. This can points to confusion, as the Gemini Full Moon wants to be clear, logical with clarity,but when this planet ( Neptune) is involved, it may make things foggy and unclear.

Traditionally Full Moons are about clearing out the clutter, releasing what no longer serves us, gaining clarity and recognition, and Gemini energy especially demands we see reality and logic. Of course with this Neptune’s square to the Moon reality may be hard to see unfortunately. Be smart and grab what information is given to you. If you are in denial and outright avoiding reality or are unsure with what information or situations you are given, retreat, go home snuggle in your safe place and sift through the information that is given. Your guts or “intuition” will let you know whats right for you.

The ruler of this Gemini Moon is Mercury, who may I add just stationed retrograde late last night. Mercury has turned retrograde at 29° Sagittarius. Mercury has a wonderful way to make us return to a past problem or discussion and revise and review, but on a positive note with a critical eye. Communication within yourself and others can be misunderstood and miscommunication, it’s important to keep in mind we are in Mercury Retrograde and that we don’t have the full story and information the same as others are being affected just like us. There are easy ways to survive Mercury Retrograde over the next 3 weeks. Get a notebook and a pen out. Make a list of everything that you have begun but haven’t completed in the past few months, house jobs, issues that have been bugging you, that certain talk with someone you have been avoiding, organisation of your car, work and home, that art piece, your tax, assignments etc.. During the Retrograde, focus on yourself and get to work on accomplish what is on that list! If your mind wonders like me, make sure you accomplish only what is on this list maybe have a reward system in place for when you are done, and hay there is no better feeling than ticking boxes off a to do list.

Remember don’t be afraid, worried, or concerned! Mercury retrograde brings us a great gift, the perfect opportunity to wrap up loose ends and cut cords! The shadow side of Mercury retrograde is that yes travel plans can have hiccups, communication between others can get misinterpreted and lead to problems, appointments booked by yourself, but you turn up and it was never booked in at all, computers and technology can crash,emails and memos can get lost. Anything that Mercury rules over can or may go wrong! Most important don’t be tempted to start new projects, start a new jobs, sign documents (Unless necessary) take on new commitments or commit to new relationships.

 

Happy Full Moon and Mercury Retrograde.

Getting all Fired Up! 1/11/17

Wednesday, 1st November, 2017.

The Moon moves into Aires.

Mars opposes Mars in Libra.

 The Sun in Scorpio semisquares Saturn in Sagittarius.

When you start your day off today, some may notice the mood and energy has shifted rather dramatically from intuitive and dreamy to “All fired up!” and ready to break through obstacles as the Moon enters Aires.

Mars is the ultimate male planet! Mars is about our wants and desires, it is ruled by Aires who is represented by the Ram. Rams as we know, love to ram anything out of its way, their energy is one directional, one-sided, stubborn and know one gets in their way! However, when Mars is in Libra, it is the complete opposite to Aires. Libra is it about compromise, harmony and balance, which means Mars has to take a back seat of being head strong and become more flexible. Mars has to actually listen, be balanced acknowledge others feelings and point of views! Mars has to be compromising!

With the Aires Moon and Mars opposing, some of us can notice in a shift in our energy levels, random feelings of frustration and anger may suddenly arise out of know where. The best way to keep this energy from getting you into trouble or putting your foot in it is to get out and move it out of your system! Engage in direct physical activity, get walking, dancing, go for a jog or a hike.We must be combative with our impatience! You certainly won’t want to lay around and dream any longer! It is time to take action, preferably on a new plan, hobby, organisation or promotion at work, also work with your vitality and drive especially if you have needed a boost lately.

You may feel edgy and restless today without knowing why, please remember to think before you speak especially out of random urges of agitation and anger. Resist power plays and power dynamics. Remember the positive side of this all, with a powerful spark of Aires courage and motivation you are ready to take on the world without a care!

Today, being willing to face your fears, the triggers that get you rattled and sad, the shadow side of ourself. We can only truly be free once we work on our deep dears, and shadow side!

Happy Hump Day!

The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Mercury trines retrograde Neptune in Pisces.

Mercury, Jupiter and the Sun are all in Scorpio.

The Moon than sextiles the Sun in Scorpio and Jupiter in Scorpio.

Jupiter (the planet of expansion, abundance and philosophy) and Mercury (the planet of ideas, our thoughts, and communications)  preceded the Sun into this powerful and passionate sign of Scorpio.

Mercury being in Scorpio, means communication and our thought process becomes more initiative and emotional centered. Mercury than trines retrograde Neptune in Pisces. When these two dance together, it aligns our intellect and conciseness with compassion, intuition and spirituality. Today we are swimming and dreaming in deep emotional water energy. It’s all about whats happening internally, and the best way to cope with this energy is to delve deep and meditate on whats going on in the inside rather than whats happening in our environment.

The Moon is in Sagittarius, and here it is optimistic and fun! This Moon than sextiles the Sun in Scorpio and Jupiter in Scorpio. Any dreams you want can be real, they can be made happen. Today is the day to be creative, to think and dream big about what you want, it’s about fantasy , intuition and manifestation work. However no matter how much the Sagittarius Moon may want to keep the day on the lighter side, there is no denying the intensity under the surface with all this wonderful Scorpio energy about.

Take a moment today, and think about the messages you receive, repetitive thoughts, inkling feelings and Aha moments. Allow the Sagittarius Moon to expand your understanding on the deep issues you have been working on.

Scorpio gives us amazing opportunities to open our minds, expand our inner self and is great for spiritually growth. Use Scorpio energy in areas such as relationships, intimate and business and to delve deep into shadow work. Let your true self shine.

Practicality is the Name of the Game! 16/10/2017!

The Sun in Libra sextiles Saturn in Sagittarius.

The Moon is in Virgo.

The Sun in Libra sextiles Saturn in Sagittarius. When the forces that rule our ego and conscious and planet that rules karma and lessons align, it can result in energies that keep us grounded. Today we will have more discipline, we will be conservative and our actions are responsible and though out. Today is a great day to plant seeds of action and intent that are safe, trusting, practical and rational. Sticking to task’s are easier today and we are accountable for our actions. This aspect is also great for relationships, personal, business or friendships as Saturn supports us making the right judgement decision.

The Moon spends the day in detail oriented and organized Virgo. Which is excellent at adding into the Sun/Saturn energy of helping us become more grounded, discipline and helpful. Plans, actions and inspirations are very realistic and planning future goals are a great way to make the most of the energy today! The Moon in Virgo is also a great energy for looking at the finer details of life, what and where in your life needs more organisation and order? With the New Moon happening this week, take a stock take and notes of any changes you want to make in your life. Make notes on what you want changed and manifested into your life this month. Get clear on what intentions  you what to make and use today’s energy as a comic boost to achieving the perfect New Moon manifestation list!

Happy Monday!

Jupiter enters Scorpio 10/10/17

Jupiter enters Scorpio.

What a massive shift we experience today, as lucky Jupiter leaves harmonious Libra and enters into sassy Scorpio, where it will spend the next year expanding and enlarging the qualities of Scorpio. Jupiter is the planet of luck, expansion,success and abundance! Jupiter has just spent a year in harmonious, balanced, diplomatic and relationship oriented Libra. Now, as she enters Scorpio, we will experience the qualities of Scorpio expanding over the coming year until November 2018.

Jupiter is moving from an air sign into a water sign. Air signs energy is great for communication, exchanging of ideas, networking, being very light, very superficial and social. Scorpio is a fixed water sign, as a fixed sign Scorpio is more grounded and solid, it’s about control and handling of ones feelings and emotions, its intelligent and very influential to other people as they are emotionally stable, intuitive and grounded.

Pluto is the planet that rules over mysterious Scorpio, and Pluto is about transformation, birth and death. It’s about looking at the bigger picture, healing, intuition and imagination, making deep genuine relationships and making universal connections.

Jupiter in Scorpio is also exceptional for empowering ourselves, entering into deep journeys to discover ones self.  Scorpio also rules all things taboo (or things society deems taboo) like sex, power, money, darker things in life, death and control. Jupiter in Scorpio can help our self to become empowered in these areas and face any fears we may also have in these areas. It  can also be great for deepening  intimacy and partnerships, from romantic but also business and financial.

Scorpio is a great sign to teaches us to go deep within. Scorpio has the gift to look into the eye of darkness, it has the ability to uncover hidden truths, uncover secrets and to destroy what is not working in order for full transformation to occur. When Jupiter is in Scorpio its expanding this energy, its magnifying our ability to go deep within, focus on your self and the emotional side of life. We can learn so much about our self in Scorpio. It would be very handy to look at your chart, Consider what house holds Scorpio, to understand where expansion and transformation will be building in your life during this time.

However, Scorpio can be very intense, and form very intense relationships. Jealously can arise as well as distrust, anger, power control and power plays in relationships. Be aware that over the coming year you will feel things more deeply, you may act out on an emotional impulse. If you are one who is more sensitive to emotions, anxiety or prone to arguments, anger, and love deep take care of yourself and be aware we are entering into an emotional time.

 This coming year can be an amazing one for growth and evolution!

Have a great day!

Can you feel the energy of the Full Moon building? 04/10/2017

Wednesday October 4th, 2017.

The Moon is in Pisces.

the Moon in Pisces conjoin Chiron in Pisces.

As you wake up this morning, the Moon is still in dreamy, elusive Pisces. Early this morning the Moon in Pisces conjoin Chiron in Pisces. With all this Pisces energy floating around what a good time to dig deep spiritually and find hidden wounds that need healing, especially ones we had buried deep down within, has any unsolved issue or thought been popping up lately? Maybe its time to sit down and review the facts. If we can’t heal we can’t evolve. Hay, No better time to do this than before a Full Moon, it’s a great time to find out what no longer serves a purpose in your life, or what needs to be transmuted and healed for your higher good.

Today, remember that you must allow compassion and understanding not only to yourself but others you come across, show kindness to everyone you meet. However, remember Pisces is great at playing the victim, especially in regards to self-sacrificing and playing the martyr ,this is the key to remember today use the Sun in Libra to see all situations and conflicts from all sides, find the balance and be fair and just. Seek out harmony in your surroundings.

Later this evening the Moon will enter Aires, where tomorrow it will reach it fullest. This means we leave behind the sensitive, soft and emotional Pisces and enter an energy of a more direct, assertive and a confident manner. Over the next few days don’t be surprised if you find yourself become more courage’s, energetic and bold. If you find the energy is very up and down, get outside this afternoon and shake it off with some exercise, a walk or a bike ride either with a friend or some will just want some time alone to process everything.

Can you feel the build up to the Full Moon tomorrow? I surly have not slept well all week and have had the weirdest yet coolest dreams. Intrigued on what tomorrow brings up and out for all of us.

 

Happy Wednesday!

Sun Enters Libra! 22/09/2017.

The Moon in Libra eneters into Scorpio.

The Sun enters Libra.

Happy Friday! Today begins with the Moon still in, harmonious, graceful, charming Libra, after which the Moon enters into Scorpio later this afternoon. The Moon in Scorpio is deeply passionate. Scorpio brings intensity and deep introspection to the next few day. Scorpio energy is passionate, mysterious, we gain an increased insight, deep psychological understanding and awareness, attracted to the naughty, taboo areas of life. We seek out the hidden message now!

The Sun leaves Virgo and enters into Libra, Happy Birthday Libra! Where it will transit until October 23rd. Our attention now moves from perfection, organisation and service to balance, diplomacy and social charm. Libra is the sign of partnership, balance, peace, pleasure and beauty in all areas of our life! The Sun in Libra focus is to meet people half way, create harmony, to compromise and collaborate with others. Over the coming month, you will want to deepen your romantic connections, strengthen your business and work relationships, create beauty and pleasure in your home. However on the shadow side Libra, they can be very very indecisive, energy can be very back and forward, superficial, self-serving and passive-aggressive,

The Sun moving  into Libra signifies we are entering into the September equinox. Today  initiates us down south in Australia we entering into our spring and for the Northern hemisphere your Fall . An equinox are days when it is equal day to equal night. Us down here in the Southern Hemisphere, the September equinox  is the vernal (spring) equinox. Astronomically, it is considered as the first day of spring here. In the Northern Hemisphere,  the September equinox is the autumnal equinox marking the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. This is a great time for everyone to take stock of what has been going on, all that has come before us and what direction we want to head towards ( Think back to the December equinox, what has come into your life, what have you achieved, what lessons have you learnt and what have you manifested and grown). The saying goes “as you reap so shall ye sow”. Basically guys… Right now gives you much-needed insight into what has led you up to this point and what, if anything, needs to change for your future. Added bonus we had the New Moon this week, so get writing and manifesting what abundance and changes you want for the coming month, two months and to the next equinox! Exciting times ahead.

This evening after work or play, get a scented candle, bring home flowers, arrange them beautifully. This is the perfect time to prepare and encourage the growth of all beauty in your life. Spring clean the house and create a loving, warm environment! Weave your magic throughout your home and work space.

 

Have a great day and a better weekend!

Full Moon in Pisces 2017.

Published on by andycandypants7 Comments

Full Moon in Pisces 06/09/2017.

This is going to be a power Full Moon in Pisces, as it will be the first Full Moon after the powerful New Moon in Leo Solar Eclipse.. Eclipse are very powerful, they open up doorways and are supercharged . A New Moon for those who aren’t sure on the meanings of Luna cycles, are about new beginnings, as the Moon enters into the new cycle. This Solar eclipse was highly charged and activated new areas in our life, opened up new door ways and new paths we want to follow or change in regards to our self. Now at the Full Moon an influx of new information in regards to these new pathways and plans will be activated as the light of the Moon illuminates and shines down upon us. We will get new ways of accessing the powers to fully reach our potential also release what no longer serves us and is holding us back from reaching this new awakened higher self!

Its being about authentic and standing in the Full Moon of our divine self.

This month the Full Moon is in Dreamy Pisces. This means for us down on earth, the Full Moon is drawing in and illuminating us with Pisces energy! The Full Moon in Pisces is at 13 degrees.

This is interesting because all of this Pisces energy, especially our emotional certainty is going to come in strong and it will be a wonderful opportunity to look at your feelings and to identify whats really going on with yourself.. This Full Moon will be an emotional one, it is in Pisces the last sign of the Zodiac that rules the 12th house. Pisces rules the realm of mysticism, spirituality, intuition,creativity, feelings, companion, empathy, sharing, community, caring for others and considering others needs.. However this Full Moon these feelings of belonging, caring and compassion belong to you. Meaning that you will be sacrificing some time for yourself this Full Moon, drawing your attention to “what about me, and my feelings”. Over the next few days you will take a stock of whats going on for you, not around you and dig deep into what you want and gain some authentic answers. So get a pen and paper and start writing, emotions, repetitive thoughts, feelings and so on!

Back to the Full Moon in Pisces at 13 degrees, 3 plus 1, which adds up to the master number 4. Four vibrates at a level of security, structure and foundation. In numerology 4 is down-to-earth, dependable, hard-working, reliable, methodical, conscientious. Four is about stability. It’s the emperor of the tarot deck. The emperor is depicted as sitting high on his concrete seat or throne made of a sturdy strong foundation. Strong enough to build an empire on, but unless you have that strong foundation, especially in regards to your emotional  security you wont be able to build on it because you may not have the security you need to support yourself and your dreams. To build yourself up and make a concrete foundation for your life, you need to really figure out whats going on for yourself. This Full Moon please,  really slow down and stop,  identify what your flaws are, or what cracks you feel within yourself that may need strengthening. This Full Moon it’s about laying things out in front of you, seeing whats there, and really loving yourself regardless of what you see in front of yourself. It’s about self forgiveness, acceptance, remembering there will be certain areas or parts of yourself that you may not be happy with, parts you want to change and parts that you can’t change. Loving yourself means accepting all  of these areas and loving every part just as much as the others, and thank you Universe this Full Moons gives us such a great opportunity to release what is no longer serving us, what no longer needs to take up room within our self, what needs to be transmuted and turned into a positive aspect. It’s an emotional release, and Pisces Moon gives us a great aspect to be on the outside looking in and not stuck on the inside trying to look up and out on the horizon.

To make this Full Moon deepen even more, today in conjunct’s with Neptune – in simple terms it blends it energy with Neptune!! Neptune is the planet of dreaming, imagination, this planet rules Pisces, so even more water and Pisces energy is being brought about and blended with this Full Moon.So our emotional state will be very heightened, Neptune gives us the gift of lifting the veil and going deeper into our self more than ever. Neptune is sitting at 12 degrees, which is 1 degree away from the Full Moon. 12 adds up to 3, and 3 in numerology vibrates to communication, exchange of ideas, expression and exchange of information and for us this is happen with our self. It’s really time to learn and discover your true self. It’s so important to take stock take of our self, what you have, what is being put forth, what needs to be brought in to offer the best possible self to the world and your divine authentic self.

 This is a super mystical Full Moon on the 6th September! Its energy is best handled when we can connect with our inner psychic, guru and higher self.

The Moon is known to represent our emotions and If you want to live in alignment with the universe, connect with yourself through a Full Moon ritual, yoga , Meditation, journaling and please try to go easy on yourself and just be in the present! Don’t get caught up to much on the urgency and impulses of your emotions, and how others come across as everyone’s emotions are a tad what little crazy at the moment , hence why so many of us go a little crazy at the time of the Full Moon.

Release, Revive, Nurture and Heal this Full Moon.

Tarot card for the week… A lesson in watching our thoughts! 30/8/2017

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

Watch your thoughts as they become reality! What you think is what you attract!

The past couple of days I have had a real urge to pull a tarot card, plus add to the mix i have had consistent universal messages such as repetitive numbers which repetitively telling me to keep up the positive thoughts and work, quotes popping up on twitter, hay house playing shows on the topic of our thoughts, strangers telling me that what i think come reality. So surprising enough when i pulled a card today this is what came up…

 

The message on the card reads…

It’s important to only think
about what you desire,
not what you fear.

By drawing this card, you’re alerted to the extra importance of monitoring your thoughts. You have no neutral thoughts, and every one of them creates an effect in your life. So you’re being asked to be vigilant in holding only positive thoughts.

Most of us slip into negativity occasionally, and you may be no exception. However, you can “undo” the effects of negative thinking by recognizing them, and stating: “I now cancel that thought, and replace it with the following positive affirmation of my true Divine desires.”

Then list the situations and attributes that mirror your godliness and goddessliness. During this important part of your life, you have the power to manifest your highest potential at the most rapid rate possible.

So basically guys we are being asked by the universe to watch your thoughts and that your thoughts create your reality. We are being asked daily, in every moment to be mindful of whats going through our thought process.

You are being asked that you be mindful of the chatter that goes on in your head……your inner and outer spoken words, your beliefs about yourself and your life, especially what you believe you deserve and what you feel and think you are worthy of.

You deserve all of the wonderful blessings that life and the universe has to offer but it is important to know how powerful you are in creating those blessings. Your thoughts are very powerful, as you go through the day and a negative thought enters your mind, take control of it, delete it, replace it, Say “Stop!” or “No!” replace it with an uplifting and positive thought The life you are living right now is the result of your thoughts. Think about it…

New Moon is Leo 2017

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

New Moon in Leo 2017.

On Sunday morning, the New Moon occurred and entered in the sign of Leo. A New Moon is when the Moon is totally black and it is recharging itself, it pulls in energy over next few days to complete the new Moon cycle. This month New Moon will be pulling in Leo energy.  The New Moon is also a great time to set intentions, it is a time to take a step back and review what you want for the future. It’s about planting seeds on what you want to achieve over the next month. It is time to take a stock of your life and to make an action plan.

This New Moon is going to be a powerful one! It is in the sign of Leo and will be at 0 degrees. Each house in the astrology chart is made up of 30 degrees, whenever a planet is at 0, 1 or 20 degrees it signifies an expansive time when the energy is at its most powerful. The Sun and the Moon are sitting together in 0 degrees in Leo. Its pulling pure Leo energy into your chart! It is pulling in enthusiasm, confidence, its pulling in lots of physical, mental and emotional energy.  It’s really pulling in drive and desire to be seen, to be heard and to have fun. The energy is about enjoying the company of others and having a sense of humor and silliness.

The New Moon in Leo is an excellent time for formulating goals, enhancing our love life, forming hobbies and building self-esteem and healthy pride in one self. Embrace these quality’s , embody and use these qualities this month especially when formulating your intentions and your New Moon wish list.

It’s a lot of fun positive energy being pulled into the chart and the best part is you can use this energy where you like. Are you needing more energy? Or do you need more creativity in your world? Do you need a confidence boost at work or in your love life? Want the courage to climb that hill or ask for a promotion? This New Moon is wonderful and going to pull in lots of energy to our lives and to the way we feel.

With all this strong Leo energy around, you have the chance to make significant changes in your life. Changes that will benefit you well beyond this Moon cycle. Take some time and write down what needs a boost and what you want to achieve that you never thought you could achieve before. Today and over the next day or so day-dream, take yourself out for a coffee and jot down what magical changes you want for yourself and the world you. It’s time to make some plans and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from your new beginnings.

Happy New Moon!

Have a great Monday!

rds from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs.

The Moon completes its transit of Cancer at 4:35 AM EDT and enters Leo. Shortly after the Moon enters Leo, the New Moon occurs (at 5:46 AM) very early in the sign (in the first degree). This lunation is an excellent time for formulating goals regarding “all things Leo.” We might concentrate on new ways to enhance our romantic life, creative endeavors and hobbies, and relationship with children, as well as to build our self-confidence and healthy pride in ourselves. With this strong Leo energy, we have the chance to make significant changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. It’s time to make some plans and set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs. Next month, a New Moon will occur again in the sign of Leo, this time late in the sign, and will be a Solar Eclipse and particularly potent. With the New Moon occurring at the very beginning of the sign of Leo today, there is an emphasis on brand new beginnings. With the Sun and Moon applying to a conjunction to Mars, we should watch for prematurity and impulsiveness. However, it can be a courageous, proactive time. The desire to win, initiate, innovate, and take action is strong, particularly when it comes to creative and romantic matters
