Thursday 15th September

Moon in Pisces

Virgo quincunxes Uranus in Aries.

Mars & Chiron square

Today’s  energies are complicated. Themes of wounding and healing are present today as the desire to grow and learn is strong. We feel an urge to expand through experiences and others today. An oppositional energy between the conscious self and our ego self exist today with the Moon in Pisces. Today  we will have an opportunity to dive deep into emotional wounds and get to the Source and root of them.

With a Mars-Chiron square today some of us can find it challenging to express our inner desires,  bringing up wounds of the past and with fiery Mars some may find it difficult to express anger clearly and directly. Some of us today can become defensive, frustrated, touchy and somewhat resentful!

Virgo quincunxes Uranus in Aries.This can have a surprise element bringing a wild card energy to the day! This can leave some of us feeling a little out of control.The shake up and wake up calls of the day may leave us feeling like we are in the wrong direction.

With a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces occurring tomorrow, emotions are building. This is not a good time for objective reasoning just go with the flow and don’t take things to heart! Full Moons are a time when we release things that no longer serve us, it is an emotional and intense time, a time for romance and relationships.  This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse ask us to look more closely at our life, at our needs, lacks, and wants.

Major energy shifts are happening today and over the next few days each of us will experience individual shifts on a conscious and subconscious level.

Have a great day

Monday August 22

“Time to get organised, Time to focuses on the detail and focus on self Care “

Happy Birthday Virgo..

Monday 22nd August Today  is a very positive day. The Sun moves out of Leo and into Virgo. The Moon is in Taurus and Mercury in Virgo conjunct Jupiter in Virgo. Communication is easy today, is practical, grounded and easy to understand. Today you can find giving advise to others will be receptive and implemented.

Disseminating Moon in Taurus, Well a Disseminating Moon is the phase after the Full Moon, the Moon is on the wane ( decrees)  but the there is till Fullness in the Moon.  it’s a very active Moon phase, we can find its energy  enthusiastic easy to act on and we have bright visions.  There can be real progress in this phase. The Moon and Taurus go really well together. If you are aiming to increase your cash flow, the abundant Taurus Moon makes it an excellent time to work on your plans, the energy also make it easy to visualize the bigger picture and new ideas.

With the Sun entering Virgo we can accept a shift from our from conscious yang to our ego yin , fire to earth.Our focus shifts to the pieces of the puzzle, organization, getting healthy and evaluating the little details of our lives.Opportunities emerge to express our feelings and share our happiness and joy today. But remember the shadow side of Virgo.. being overly critical of yourself and others, allowing fears and failures take you over, perfectionism and being somewhat judgmental.

 

Mercury the planet of the mind, thoughts and communication aligns with Jupiter the planet of luck, expansion and growth. This alignment means it’s a a great day for personal and intellectual growth, communication, learning and travel . Today we will find it easy to broaden our visualizations  and see the “Big Picture”, leaving us feeling optimistic and positive.We all know how the law of attraction works “Like attracts more likes” thinking about what is truly important to us in the long run.

Have a Happy Monday

Friday August 12th, 2016

The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Jupiter in Virgo is in  opposition Chiron.

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great Friday and a even better weekend guys.

14 degrees in Mercury.. 10/8/16

Wednesday August 10th 2016

Mercury in Virgo trines retrograde Pluto in Capricorn

QUARTER MOON IN SCORPIO

Arh with both these planets in earth signs  today we will find ourselves going beyond the norm to find the hidden esoteric or psychological truth.  Today’s planetary influences give us the courage  for deep  communication, we will want to  get to the root or source of matters.

~But lets talk about Mercury and the next two months to come~

Today is an interesting day… First we see Mercury  at 14 degrees in the sign of Virgo, making a positive aspect to Pluto.  Now this it is worth noting that Mercury retrograde back to 14 degrees in the sign of Virgo before it goes back in direct motion in third week in September. Mercury will also be stationed at the same 14 degree when it goes back, there is something significant in this if you ask me..

So what does this mean for us? Well as we know Mercury is the planet that rules our mental thoughts, ideas, messages and communication. Pluto is the planet of power, death and rebirth, regeneration, transformation. So there is something amazing about this aspect, something empowering… this energy empowers your mind, the way you think, empowering new ideas. Paying attention to the small details that will help you move forward on your path…

We need to remember this is a mental energy, so whatever ideas and thoughts we come up with today ,when mercury is connected with Pluto we will be reworking them. Focus on the details. This influence will make us feel empowered to complete our new bright ideas and thoughts.  We will move forward and once Mercury goes back in direct motion in that same degree you will see a drive to successfully complete those new ideas, situations and new opportunities you have been creating for yourself.

Now remember gang we are talking about Mercury’s influence so look out for any new communications you may start this week with someone  of influence, someone positive, someone powerful that you may regard as a wholesome teacher. These conversations and communication interactions you have may  come back around and make a full circle once mercury comes out of retrograde in September.

Today and over the next week pay attention to what is said and what is heard,  as it can give you insight into what is going to surface and  be part of your personal journey during Mercury retrograde .

 

Have a great day

3/8/16 New Moon in Leo

Wednesday august 3rd

New Moon in Leo

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

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

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

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

Have a great day

BALSAMIC MOON IN CANCER

Today’s Planets: Moon in Cancer, Venus trine Uranus, Sun trine Saturn

The Moon is Waning phase  until the New Moon in Leo on August 2nd.  Now is a really important time for you to get clear on your intentions and New Moon wishes you want to manifest in your life under the New Moon tomorrow. The Moon continues its transit of Cancer until 9:12 PM EDT, when it enters Leo.

Remember in the Balsamic or Waning Moon phase is a period that is generally considered unfavourable for new beginning. So wait until the New Moon to set your intentions.

Today August 1st the Sun forms a trine to Saturn today. This energy influence makes us  feel grounded and stable. We are more able to tune out distractions and concentrate on what actually matters, and not focusing on the many distractions we have been letting control us in our daily lives .

It is the day before the New Moon so don’t be surprised if some of us are  feeling a tad out of sort, the pre New Moon energy can be rather mystifying and sometimes plain weird. Today we’re better off tying up loose ends now before  beginning something brand new ( our New Moon manifestations ) . Use this Saturn/Sun energy to face reality, feel stronger  and be a little more stern in our thoughts and task at hand.

The Sun in minor challenging aspect to Chiron as well, we may shy away from a full commitment making productivity slow but it will be steady.

Set Some Goals

“Set some goals. Stay quiet about it. Smash them out, no matter how long it takes you. Stay humble & Clap yourself on your back ( any small or large achievements. Any milestone is a win). ” The right people will notice & well the rest ( small select few of haters) will ALWAYS, have something to whinge & critique you about..

Unhappy people are never happy within them selves and will always find something to pick at!! It’s a reflection of themselves not you.

So smile, say something nice to them…

Let whatever issue they have with you bounce straight off you. ( and internally giggle at the simple mentality).

My mum has taught me many things in life , one of the biggest lessons is ” Andy , people are going to love you or hate you & that’s not your problem… It’s theirs.

So the nicer you are ( generally nice) to someone who is rude, mean, negative or so called “Hates you” , be the bigger person , say something nice, smile at them, the more friendly & nicer you are the more angry , annoyed & frustrated they get… ( it’s a lot harder to be an arsehole to someone is who is completing you, because in the end they look rediculous) and the world does notice!

Your existence alone has altered the world. You are more important than you know.
So smile

Happy days xx

Daily Grind 5/5/16

The Moon on Thursday, May 5th, from 12:18 AM EDT, is the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (along with  conjunction to Uranus), until the Moon enters Taurus at 1:11 PM EDT.

     Today  Planetary Stations & Sign

Apr  5, 2016    12:50 PM           Venus enters Aries
Apr  5, 2016     7:09 PM      Mercury enters Taurus

 BALSAMIC MOON INTO TAURUS

As this lunar cycle is ending,  it is a  really great time to let go and move on. It’s also a time for rest and a time to heal. Change is inevitable……energy is always in motion….the wheel of Destiny is always spinning…..be open to the next step! Use the energy of the New Moon approaching to help guide , heal and set positive intentions.

Fun fact for today ~ Jupiter pops out first thing at dusk. It’s the brightest star like object in May and lights up the nighttime until the wee hours of the morning.

Once again, with all this planetary action happening this week ( if you haven’t read my Week Ahead berg click here )  this is a brilliant time to put a stop to any habits that are not good for you. Before you fall into despair over how to survive these astrological and astronomical shenanigans, just  remember that all of these events are simply a call for awareness,lessons,  healing, reevaluation and transmutation .

We are already feeling unbalanced from the turbulent  energy of Mercury Retrograde, and perhaps some of you may be  struggling with relationships as they relate to communication. If there has been a drama with someone and you want to continue the relationship, this is another wonderful time to release upset.

Add to that Mars Retrograde, the planet of war and sex and we shouldn’t be surprised to see sparks flying between partners.It is also a time to end relationships which are not working for you..  For some, those sparks may mean the beginning of new relationships or the renewal of old ones.

So today

  • Give yourself a break.
  • Daydream.
  • Dream big.
  • Go wild in your imagination.
  • Smile to yourself.
  • Watch how you communicate and interact
  • Release any fears, negativity to the Universe for transmutation
  • Talk to your guides

 

~Today’s Daily Oracle Card~

“Wait” – “Don’t rush into action right now. Bide your time for better results
Wait

Don’t rush into action right now. Bide your time for better results!
If you take action now, you’ll miss a window of opportunity that occurs down the road. So wait! Don’t worry, you will know when the time is right to take action because every cell in your body will scream ‘now!’
You are on the verge of receiving new information or guidance that will alter the course of your plans, leading you in a more positive direction.
By waiting for the moment the outcome will be better.

Letting go 

“In the process of letting go, you will lose many things from the past. But you will find yourself….It will be a permanent Self, rooted in Awareness & Creativity. Once you have captured this, you have captured the world.”

‘Deepak Chopra’

The path to happiness is often a path of letting go, removing what no longer serves you and not adding to or gaining something. Learning to let go of the past, in particular, emotions, attitudes, bad habits, draining relationships and any other “baggage” that is holding you back is the key to our inner happiness and long overdue healing. In order to make way for amazing wonderful things to come we must leave our comfort zone and “Let go”.

Learning to let go can be somewhat scary, but it is essential!! Learning to let go of old ideas, people, habits and any other situation that no longer serves you is the key to inner balances and self-growth.

A huge block to “letting go” for personal growth is that the future is always unknown. The future is unpredictable, and by letting go, a part of us feels as we may loose an essential part of our life, our identity, a friendship, and a major element of our past, our personality, family or values. This can be a stumbling block, but to truly move forward and embrace what the future has we have to shed our old skin, move forward.

Here is some great examples of dysfunctional living habits that are worth reconsidering and letting go of, they can offer you a temporary relief, but in the long run just add stress, strain and are just simply unhealthy for the mind body and soul.

  • Avoiding work obligations and procrastinating.
  • Excessive alcohol consumption.
  • Emotional eating.
  • Consuming too much sugar, junk food.
  • Smoking.
  • Skipping meals.
  • Avoiding exercise.
  • Late nights.
  • Abusing prescription & illegal drugs.
  • Stimulants.
  • Taking on to many obligations.
  • Staying in draining, abusive, emotional dysfunctional relationships.
  • Self harm – physically, emotionally or mentally.
  • Not allowing “Personal” time.
  • Not enough sleep
  • Excessive caffeine, soft drinks and energy drinks consumption

Try and commit to yourself and let go of these habits!! Swap one bad habit for a good habit, instead of emotionally eating yourself to a larger dress size, take it our on the cement  (pavement) and walk out any frustrations, sadness or anger! Instead of staying up late, record that TV show and treat yourself the next day after work..

You are worth the effort; the key to life is balance and happiness! Move ahead and let go of your past, more, not less of your personality and gifts will manifest

I know what I will be letting go of, and now that we have a Full Moon in transit in the past week it makes for a great time to sit down with yourself, and really think long, hard and deep about what is not working in your life? What feels like resistance in your world? is it that job, or a bad habit (like excessive sugar consumption), worrying about your diet or if you have enough time to please everyone ( whilst neglecting your own needs) .

Don’t Take Anything for Granted

Don’t Take Anything for Granted

” We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude”

Always act kindly, See the world through eyes of love as opposed to eyes of fear and practice gratitude

These actions are the keys to joy and happiness in your life. will enable you to live a life of abundance.”

We ignore so much of the goodness in our life, and  we tend to only miss this goodness when it is gone. What do you take for granted? I can tell you what I often take for granted. I take for granted my eyes, my eyes which give me vision to see the faces of my loves ones, all the colours of the rainbow, all the wonders that this world has to offer me

By being thankful for what you do have. When we tend to focus on what we want or where we want to be, we neglect that we have, exactly as it is. What if one day it was all to disappear?  how much DO you take for granted your life, big or small. For example; the only time I would not take my body for granted was when it was sick, or you only appreciate the fact you  have  washing machine was when it broke down. Or when you don’t have toilet paper???

By nourishing and being grateful for what you have already, you transform your perspective on life. By investing time by focusing on, and appreciating what we have brings about gratitude. Gratitude leads us to stop focusing on the things that are lacking in our life to all the abundance that already exists.

What are the things you tend to take for granted?

What do you plan to do about them?

What are 3 things you are grateful for today?

Try each day to stop and think about all the marvellous abundance that is already present in your life. Your job, Your home, Your arms and legs, Your boss that drives you nuts, because at least you have a boss.

Giving thanks and taking the time to appreciate every and all aspects of our life, it makes us happier and more resilient to what life has to offer, it strengthens relationships with ones self and others, it improves health, and it reduces stress.
