Disseminating Moon in Sagittarius.

This Sagittarius Moon forms a trine to Mercury.

Jupiter stations retrograde at 23° Scorpio.

Late last night, the Disseminating Moon entreated Sagittarius. When the Moon is in Sadge the energy is right for us to let our hair down and blow off some steam. Your mood is upbeat, uplifting, adventures and fun-loving today! Find some friends and go out for lunch or dinner! You will want to be social and as Sagittarius is a fire sign, your focus will also be on your physical vitality and appearance. Get dressed up and show yourself off today! Sagittarius is also wonderful at encouraging us to study and be curious of others, Sadge loves to learn through travel and the experience of other cultures.

This Sagittarius Moon forms an easy flowing trine to Mercury. This trines helps you this morning to begin your day with a sense of adventure, intellectual growth and fun mental stimulation.

Jupiter stations retrograde at 23° Scorpio. Bringing the planet of expansion, abundance and excess into focus. When we see planet’s that are stationary, their powers are stronger and exacerbated. As Jupiter is traditionally the planet of growth and expansion it can also be the push that drives us to go to far and overdo it. We can become excessive and self-righteousness. Jupiter in Scorpio is all about diving into the depths and into the shadows of our self. This is a great transit for inner work, shadow work and therapy ! The gift you will get through diving deep into the unknown can be profound, trust me, you will much freer and lighter with this self work. During this time we need to consider what has been expanded, explored and  brought to our attention since Jupiter entered Scorpio early last October 2017? What has been highlighted for you? How have you dealt with the things that have arisen? It’s a time to reflect and review where you have been and what you have been going through and how best to  proceed when Jupiter moves forward on July 10th, 2018.

 

 

Have a great day!

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MERCURY RETROGRADE

“ What does Mercury Retrograde mean”

You may have heard your friends say, “Oh, no, Mercury is in retrograde again!” And you may have wondered what in the world are they talking about… I know my best friend gives me that look every time I mention Mercury… Well no more confusion and don’t panic if you don’t know astrology, im no Nostradamus myself but here are a few key facts and a quick rundown on what you need to know to get you through “ Mercury Retrograde”

If you still have no idea what I’m talking about, here we go… As we know planets are always spinning (and if you didn’t than there is a fun team room fact you can share) Retrograde is when a planet “appears” to stop spinning and move backwards. Don’t worry all planets do this, but when Mercury goes retrograde (up to four times a year for about three weeks at a time) us awesome earthlings feel the full, crappy force of it.

Even people whom “don’t believe in astrology” or all that other mumbo jumbo, new age hippie business often believe in the crazy aftershocks of Mercury retrograde. Why is that you may ask?

It’s because Mercury, is said to be the planet that influences communication, logical thinking and travel. So when the planet goes retrograde (backwards in the sky) all things influenced by Mercury go backwards.

So to explain it simply-

Don’t make any important moves when Mercury is retrograde. Nothing will be settled successfully for the future during these periods,so is not a good time to sign any new contracts or even to shake hands on any new agreements. Do not sign a new lease or close on a house during this time. Anyway you will find it nearly impossible to nail down a plan. It’s also highly unreliable to complete important transactions, access accurate information or make big decisions.

When Mercury retrogrades it is notorious for information and communication being scrabbled. Which causes confusion so don’t forget to clarify information and get feedback when communication with others. Miscommunication is rife during retrograde, so make sure you’re expressing your thoughts, ideas and opinions as clearly as possible. You’ll have to work harder to get your point across.

I advise you that it would not be a good times to do anything involving communications, such as launch a magazine, website (which I just realised I did duh!). Also it is also considered poor time to launch any new endeavours, even if they are not related to the communications industries.

And don’t forget verbal agreements are considered the same as written ones.

Here are some do’s and don’ts to get you through this craycray time…

DON’T initiate anything new

DON’T purchase any BIG items

DON’T forget to check the details

DON’T put your life on hold

DO express yourself extra clearly

DO expect travel delays

DO enjoy a bit of down time

DO finish old projects

So how can we  use Mercury retrograde energy during this time?

Clean out your closet “ trim the fat” , the mercury retrograde energy is fantastic for culling out those unwanted items that gather dust in your wardrobe ‘ they say if you haven’t worn it in the last 6 months be merciless and chuck it, chances are you will never wear it! And don’t worry you will have plenty of planters help

Forgive and forget..

Mercury retrograde encourages us ( sometimes as painful and annoyed as ripping a bandaid off an old wound you thought had healed) or in some cases to tie up loose ends, as we all know bitterness looks ugly on people especially if you are holding onto a grudge towards someone else. Bitterness, negative emotions and bad vibes as well all know is like drinking Poison and waiting for the other person to die… USELESS and honestly it’s make you age terribly so my advise.. It’s time to move on remembering you don’t have to forget but forgive, not for them but for your own peace.

Rejuvenate your living space..

It’s always fun giving your home a makeover, and if you have been thinking about redecorating for a while now is the time, tap into the Mercury retrograde energy and go for it. Your home is a reflection of your fabulous self and there is no better feeling than being proud of your home, it’s an instant confidence boost but remember no BIG PURCHASES during Mercury retrograde so plan plan plan, Rearrange your place , spring clean, jump online and get lost on Pinterest planing and getting creative ideas for your dream home. Toss out the old stuff and donate it to charity ( good karma) or sell it online and make extra cash for when you can start buying up big!

Get nostalgic

Mercury retrograde is the best time to step into a time warp, play that old CD from high school, watch movies you loved as a kid , flick through old photos remember all the times, feel like a kid again when everything was magical!

So sit tight guys, Mercury retrograde luckily only last a few weeks, so use this time to do anything that involves “Re” revise old plans and projects, rearrange , redecorate and revisit any personal issues and feelings that happen to come up during this time , it’s an indication it hasn’t been fully healed. And remember this is not a time to start anything new or sign new contracts. Mercury the messenger is having a mini melt down so expect mixed messages, communication brake downs, technology malfunctions and travel hiccups.
