The Moon leaves Virgo and enters Libra.

The Libra Moon forms a sextile with Mars in Leo and the Sun in Leo.

The Moon is in graceful Libra, and for us that means that we feel more tolerant of others and more interested in presenting ourselves in a more amicable, harmonious and somewhat sympathetic light. We’re seeking out balance and weighing our up our options in our decision-making process. The Moon in Libra sparks our desire to become relationship focused.The Libra Moon loves to be social, being out and about and around others.

Later this evening, the Libra Moon forms a sextile with Mars in Leo and the Sun in Leo. Being a fire sign, the energy is Big, Loud and Enthusiastic. So we get a mighty cosmic push to do and achieve something big today. We might take a risk, or to be loud and proud about an idea or plan. Fun, daring dangerous is the theme for today or something that lights the soul. Today take these complimentary energies and organise a dinner party, host an event, be in the spotlights and have fun!!!  kick up your heals and enjoy your time with others.

Have an amazing day!

The Moon in Leo opposes the Sun and Mercury in Aquarius.

Mercury in Aquarius forms a sextile to Venus in Aries today.

The Moon in Leo opposes the Sun and Mercury in Aquarius. Than the Moon Sextiles Venus in Aires. Wow this is an amazing day for new beginnings, a new job, a new relationship, having an interview. Any kind of practical or physical circumstances that you can put out there in the world today will have positive outcomes. Today is the day to do so! This is because you will be more switch on, confident, articulate and you will find that you can put your ideas into practice. Communication and your thought process is sassy , quick, very new age and upbeat if you have been dreaming of that holiday maybe today you can put a deposit down or get out a map and plot the places you want to see! Anything you can put out there in the world today that benefits your dreams and the dreams of those close to you, well today is the day to do so. You can thanks the universe for this – because you will be more switched on, confident, articulate, focused and you will find that you can put your ideas into practice, and these ideas will be strong so if your gut tells you to peruse something go for it.

Mercury in Aquarius forms a sextile to Venus in Aries today. When Fire and Air combine we MUST take care when negotiating, please clarify feelings and miss communication particularly in love, with family and any partnerships and plans. Have a discussion with others and make sure that you are on the same path and have the same understanding. When Mercury the ruler of communication, travel and the mental realm dances with Venus the planet of love and creativity gives our charm a boost , social grace, romantic overtures, grand gestures of love, self-love and sensuality. We’re inclined to verbal or analyze our feelings and relationships more than normal. We might also communicate with more warmth and style and try to see others point of view.

The Moon is in Leo all day, reaching full tonight. How exciting as we are so close to the  Full Moon  Lunar Eclipse. Full Moons and Lunar Eclipses bring issues in our lives to fulfillment. have you felt the build up of intense emotions this week? People acting impulsive or strange. Our emotions can and will heightened or those around you. I can tell you I have barely slept all week, but still full of energy and my emotions have been like a whirlwind, but on that note, thank you Universe, as it’s all been positive emotions with a dash of over thinking lower emotions but I am a Cancerian and Moon Child so that is natural around Full Moons.

This weekend however with all this intense lunar energy, often some drama may evolve. The areas of our life that seem to be a problem or not resolving even if you have tried every resource to fix them may see dramatic turns , when activated by the Eclipse , after which the path is clear to move forward.Something may  come  light at the time of the Full Moon. Remember Full Moons are a time of release so do a physical, spiritual, emotional and mental cleanse this weekend. Epiphanies are likely now and can propel us into affirmative action.

So  get in touch with your emotions, only so you can get a better idea of what needs to change, needs to be cleansed or what needs to go.

Have a great Lunar Weekend! Down here in Australia we will be getting the hottest weekend since 1800’s the high will be 108 Fahrenheit  that 43 degrees Celsius to all us amazing humans down under.

Happy Friday.

Full Moon Ritual

Published on by andycandypants4 Comments

Full moon Ritual

As the full moon is upon us, it’s time to reflect and release those things that no longer serve us. Let go of what you no longer need in your life or any aspect of yourself that you may have outgrown. The moon, being the closest astronomical mass to Earth, has a profound effect on us. When the moon is full, it is at its high tide of power, amplifying energies. The moon traditionally represents the emotional, nurturing, creative and feminine aspect of our lives. When the energy is intense and as powerful as this, it enables you to take action, have you ever felt a pull or an urge leading up to the full moon? Many people feel this intensifying energy, it is a sign that you may need to release energies that no longer serve you, and you can do this by performing a Full moon ritual.

The full moon period is a great time to take action towards your new moon intentions you made two weeks prior and is a great opportunity for some self-reflection. The full moon can shed some light on what could be holding you back and what needs to be released that’s standing in your way .

A Full Moon ritual is a powerful way to invoke the intention of releasing and Letting go. You can purge yourself of any old identities, frame of mind, attitudes, behavior and situations. You may wish to take an inventory of thoughts and beliefs no longer serving you, clean out your possessions. Remember, you can release anything emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually.  Release any addictions such as food or drama, emotional vampires,  unhappiness in your job , relinquishing suffering involved in hurtful relationships.

You can also seek guidance from your spirit guides or angels to help highlight what is ready to be shed from your life. Tools to help you connect with your guides include oracle cards, journaling and automatic writing, or mediation. Trust the guidance that comes to you, your gut instincts are usually right.

Write down all the things you wish to release and give thanks for what it’s already served. After writing them down you can visualise them being released and healed, do this by performing your ritual sitting under the moon or at a window with the moon shining down.

 What you need

Pen, paper, lighter, candle, small bowls (if you intend on burning your notes) , water, sage and other personal objects such as crystals.

  1. Create a sacred space. Find a quiet, clutter free place to sit, place crystals or other special tokens around you.
  2. Clear your energy. Burn sage and clear your energy space, or you can imagine standing under a silver or bright white waterfall of pure light and allow all negative and lower energies to be cleared away.
  3. Light the candle, Take a few deep breaths, center yourself and then begin to write on the piece of paper what you wish to release from your life
  4. When you have finished your list, sign and date the page.
  5. Go into your heart space/chakra and declare “I now let this go. I ask you angels to please take this list for healing and transmutation, and I thank you, Amen.” Then place the piece of paper over the candle allowing the flame to light your page, you then place it in the bowl and watch as the flames consume and release your request to the universe for healing.
  6. Use your intuition to guide you. You may just want to sit under the moon and read your list aloud, or with a lit candle and not burn your page. You may want to meditate on what to let go of. Just the intention of releasing and letting go can work.

Just remember… our words have power. Saying – “Be Gone” audibly and loudly can be very freeing. Thank the spirits and angels. Be safe and don’t forget to have some fun.

Friday 21st October, 2016.

 The Moon in Cancer opposes Pluto Capricorn and Mars in Capricorn.

he Sun in Libra forms a semi-square to Saturn.

Today there is conflict between our emotional side of life, the fun, romantic, bubbly side and the hardcore, driven , intense desire to succeed. The conflict between these two reaches its highest point of this week . Today we will find our self questioning am i being silly enough? am i having more than enough fun? am i successful? am i achieving enough? The uneasy feeling you get going back and forth between these two mind sets really becomes strong today. It has the potential to make us frustrated, angry , even chucking a hissy  fit could be on the cards for some. As the Moon in Cancer opposes Pluto Capricorn and Mars in Capricorn . We have this masculine energy sign in these two planets sitting on one side of the chart and way on the other side we see the Moon in a water sign saying hello i want to feel things, i want to connect, be romantic and have fun!! However there is no coming to meet in the middle for these planets, they are polar opposites and that is how we will feel today.

Very early today, the Sun in Libra forms a semi-square to Saturn. This aspect leaves us feeling that the glass is half empty by the afternoon,  we feel there is too many blocks and obstacles in our way to move forward and with the Moon in protective Cancer it only makes us want to retreat or withdraw. We are inclined to stay in safety of our home or in the company of family and loved ones.

Have a great day and an amazing weekend

The Moon enters Aquarius

Venus semi-square Mercury and Jupiter

This week is a week of two halves Monday through to Thursday is influenced by Neptune  the planet of dreams, intuition and feelings, and then from Friday onward it is very much about Aries and Uranus, fire energy chaos and drive. The Moon in Aquarius trines Mercury and Jupiter in Libra. This is a fabulous light and breezy start of the week , appointments and conversations all go well Today is full of fun and laughs the energy is light,everything is in balance ,social, fun-loving and easy-going day. Plan things with others today, catch up with friends, make a romantic dinner for someone special or go out and enjoy others company today.

The Moon enters Aquarius early day. The Aquarius Moon energy is observant, independent, friendly and principled.As the Moon moves into Aquarius, we become hypersensitive and some may lack mental discipline, we also can detach moreeasily  from reality.  We can find if we detach from the world now, it gives us room to figure out what we want and how to make our dreams come true. Give the Universe some room to step in and help!

Venus semi-square Mercury today ,which has the potential to make communications between lovers a little airy fairy, awkward or may feel superficial, with that in mind try to laugh off any awkwardness and try to not be so sensitive with romantic communications toady.

 

A heads up for tomorrow guys, we will see harmonious peak as Mercury, Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune, Mars and Venus form links! This has the feeling of positive developments, bringing a much-needed wake up and shake up energy to relationships and commitments in our lives, it is also great for forgiveness, healing and happiness!

Have a great day

Venus forms a semi-square Saturn

Mercury forms a trine to Pluto

 Mercury Retrograde in Virgo sextiles Juno in Scorpio

Moon in Taurus

Mercury Retrograde will turn direct this week on the 22nd, YAY to anyone who has been affected by this planetary turnaround. Mercury forming a trine with Pluto makes this  a powerful time for looking both in front of us and behind us to gain a deeper understanding of a matters that may have been playing on our minds, we could gain new insights that finally allows us to see the truth of situations that previously we may not have been able to understand This Mercury trine to Pluto will also boost our ability to concentrate and strategize.

Venus will forms a semi-square with Saturn which leaves us feeling like there is some tension in the air. Some of us may feel out of balance, anxious or uneasy with issues concerned with relationships, feelings, money and love.

As the Moon in Taurus moves through her disseminating phase and before she moves into Gemini tomorrow , it’s a time to think back over the past few weeks what do you need to let go of?  What have you been through? Has there been drama or conflict? If so, now is the time to heal!

Mercury Retrograde sextiles Juno in Scorpio making communication and information clear, allowing you to have great insights especially in regards to relationships and how we perceive our self and others. This week we will get opportunities  to get to the root and truth of situations if we are willing and able to shine light and accept the shadow parts of our self, our world and others.

Hope you have a great day

Venus in Libra

Mars in Sagittarius

The Moon is in Aquarius most of the day, until 10:23 PM EDT when it enters Pisces

Uranus in Aries

The Moon in Aquarius trines Venus in Libra which is very positive aspect. Uranus in Aries semisextiles Mars in Sagittarius. Mercury retrograde quintextiles the Sun in Virgo. Today we may feel co dependent , which at times can be too much of a good thing especially as you become too focused on other people and on what they may think . Today you may try to please everybody  and make everybody happy, but you know and I know you can’t please the world all the time. Some may feel they are spreading themselves to thin, be aware of that and really think am i putting myself out there too much? or do i care of what people think of me too much? This energy makes us want to give over our time and ourselves and be of service! but ask yourself… Have i given myself? Yes or NO? and have you played your part enough!! Are you putting to much importance in what other people think?

With Venus in loving Libra, we feel like enjoying the company of others, it’s about relaxing and enjoying yourself. Today some may feel like dressing up and going out socializing and some will feel like staying home and snuggling on the couch! The world simply feels like a much nicer place to be in. Mercury Retrograde in Virgo semisextiles Venus in Libra this helps us to align our mind with the heart in peaceful harmonious way!

The Aquarius Moon is supported by Uranus in Aries this morning. We may find it easier  to get along and cooperate with others, this can have beneficial outcomes and positive exchange of ideas.

Have a great day and happy Wednesday

Mercury Retrograde Aligns with the Sun in Virgo

Mercury square Mars

Mercury Retrograde aligns with the Sun in Virgo today, bringing illumination and spark to our thoughts. Today information and ideas will be brought to light, we will have aha moments and new insights. This is a critical time for new ideas so pay attention!

We are at a halfway point in Mercury’s retrograde , well technically. This is due to Mercury passing between the Earth and the Sun at its inferior conjunction, this usually marks the midpoint in its cycle. This Midpoint is a great time for processing recent ideas, events and situations that may of come to light as well as for beginning to look at problems or issues from a new perspective or a better understanding.

Mercury and Mars form a square today . We could too easily found ourselves in disagreement with others, friction and tension could arise as Mars the warrior planet that rules over conflict and anger is squaring with the planet of thoughts, communication and ideas can making it difficult to engage in healthy dialogue and some can find it frustration to express how we feel .There is some feisty energy in the air today so watch what and how we approach others as we may stir up controversy with what we say.

The Moon goes from Capricorn into Aquarius today. Aquarius Moons can bring surprises at any time, Aquarius Moon may make you feel detached at times or inclined toward objectivity in your emotional responses and dealings today .

Have a great day

Full Moon in Aquarius 18/8/16

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

18th August 2016

Tonight the  Full Moon occurs a at 25° in Aquarius

the Moon sextile Uranus  and Quincunx Jupiter.

This planetary aspect creates what is called a YOD. A Yod or sometimes also known as” the Finger Of God” is a rare astrological aspect  involving three planets that will form a long triangle pattern. The finger is pointing directly at Jupiter and has the Moon sextile Uranus at the base. A Yod historically signifies a special karmic mission, it has the energy of destiny or fate that it requires you to complete in order for your soul to evolve.

With the Finger of God pointing to Jupiter, the planet of luck  our good fortune is connected with faith. Faith in our self, in the new opportunities that we create or that have been presented to us. Faith that we walk into the future blind, but knowing that all our needs are met and that if we leap we will land exactly where we were meant to be. We must have the courage to believe in our self and our new path.Self doubt and NOT believing in yourself could cause you to strike out, remember the Yod is about karmic lessons so lets not come back on repeat.

Uranus is the key to resolving this opposition, it is an invitation for us to shatter old patterns and brings about emotional freedom.The Full Moon illuminates the rebellious side of you and gives you the courage to exploring possibilities it also brings out a revolutionary freedom that liberates you.

With Jupiter there is always the danger of going over the top and over doing things, combined  with the Uranus/Moon sextile aspect our new-found courage can often  provoke fear, anxiety and self-criticism hindering our soul progression.

 The Full Moon in Aquarius is progressive, creative and truth-seeking. It will do you good to purge and release things from your life that no longer serve your higher self. Tonight write a list of things that are no longer working for you or that may be holding you back, and safely under the moon burn the list and release what no longer serves you.

Repeat after me  Change can be a good thing.

The mission of this month’s lunar eclipse/ Yod is for us to take the new discoveries  and exciting changes in your life and turn them into optimistic plans for a brighter future.

Don’t let self-doubt and fear slow your progress.

 

Happy Full Moon

12/8/16 Daily Grind

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.
