The Moon leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius.

Mercury cojoins Saturn in Capricorn.

By the time you begin the day, the Moon has moved away from being deeply emotional and dark to an idealistic, freedom-seeking energy of Sagittarius. Adventures,an attitude change and an energy boost as we aim high today. Sagittarius is an optimistic sign, you may feel the need for autonomy, seeking physical and emotional space. The need for fun and adventure is a high priority today as you feel the need to explore the world around you.

Although the day is likely to be relatively upbeat, by lunch time, you may feel Mercury’s connection to Saturn looming. Mercury cojoins with Saturn in Capricorn. This will be the final of 3 Mercury/Saturn conjunction. We seen the first two meetings between these two last year when Saturn was in Sadge, and then we had Mercury retrograde which this aspect caught a ride on the back-end of its retrograde journey.   This Mercury/Saturn conjunction is great for getting focused, becoming mature, getting our feet solidly on the ground, becoming more serious and mastering your self in the way you communicate and think. Something new is being seeded and new energies are incoming.

Mercury in serious Capricorn conjunts Saturn in Capricorn, who is also very serious. Saturn will be in Capricorn until 2020. Saturn in Capricorn energy is very straight forward, if you want something you are going to have to work hard towards getting it. It’s about taking responsibility and owning up to your actions or how you act in and present yourself in situation that comes your way. If you want something in life you need to work for it, be responsible and stick to what is expected of you. Saturn is all about karmic lessons and when it’s in Capricorn its making us step up and own our life!

The Moon in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces. Neptune being the planet that is linked with our dreams and imagination, intuition, and Sagittarius is the sign of being upbeat, energetic and an adventures energy. So this energy will hep counteract the seriousness of Mercury/Saturn today and lighten the energy.

Today we are very self-aware,  indeed many may be to serious at the moment, contemplating over issues, but try not to fall into the trap of pessimistic thinking. The lighter side of the energies today means maybe we have come to realize that we have been taking life way to serious as of late, and you may stop and have a good laugh at how rigid and stern you have become. lighten up today and remember to have a laugh. You may even realize how crazy the expectations you have given yourself and others and you lighten up and ground yourself into a more balanced way of life!

I mentioned yesterday where did Capricorn falls your natal charts, This is major as all year-long in 2018 there is a massive focus on the Capricorn part of the sky, so where Capricorn is in your chart it can bring in some important awareness and useful insights around what path of mastery, evolution and responsibility is being asked of us this year.  Pay attention!

Happy Friday!

This is Exceptional Energy for Transformation

The Moon is in Scorpio.

Mercury , Saturn, the Sun, Venus, and Pluto are all in Capricorn.

The Sun in Capricorn parallels Pluto in Capricorn.

As you begin the day, Mercury has joined with Saturn, the Sun, Venus, and Pluto in serious and grounded Capricorn. This is a large pile-up in a very restrictive, practical, no non sense sign. Capricorn energy will make it easier for us to concentrate on the task at hand. Our thought patterns and communication styles will be structured in a more logical, orderly, and organized. The way we show appreciation and love towards others will be in a goal orientated and planned out way!  None of this spur of the moment, wild date nights. Capricorn likes organisation, practicality and you know EXACTLY where stand in love, business and in Money matters. However the downside of too much earthy Capricorn energy is we can come across harsh, cold, unattached and over determined. We become to rigid in the way we think and perceive things. We have the ability to neglect others thoughts, feelings, opinions and communication can be very serious and direct. Otherwise, if you need a fine tune up after the Christmas holidays, a little sharpening of your focus, your intentions, your health, business, work, and what is really relevant to us this year,this energy can be very useful now.

The Sun in Capricorn parallels Pluto in Capricorn, echoing the Sun/Pluto conjunction that was exact earlier this week on Tuesday. From Tuesday to Thursday of this week, we have been experiencing a super aspect between the center (Sun) of our galaxy & the furthest planet at the edge of our galaxy (Pluto). This means they amplify, but it also exacerbates their energy together.

The Sun is our ego, our self and Pluto is the planet of transformation. Its energy is one that if we surrender our will , egos, past trauma and wounds to a Higher Power you can expect healing and re birth of a new you! What needs purging? What no longer serves a purpose in your life? Ask yourself today…

What house does Capricorn fall in your natal chart? That area of your life is in MASSIVE focus for you this year. Pay attention to where you are being pulled to evolve, asked them to be released, ask for blockages to be removed, cords to be cut, negative thinking about a positive outcomes or a dream to be transformed and in particularly we are being asked to get rid of something old so that something wonderful and new  can occur.  This area of your life ( In your Natal Chart) will require ongoing attention and effort over the year. Your readiness and willingness to do this deep work in these areas will serve you well this year!

 

Happy Thursday!

Going with the flow! Mercury enters Capricorn! 10/01/2018!

The Moon is in Scorpio.

Mercury moves into Capricorn

The Scorpio Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to  Neptune.

The Moon is in Scorpio again today, and it asks us to delve emotionally deep into our self and our connection to others. Today, don’t be surprised if you find yourself inclined to search for hidden layers of situations and by others around you. As we can attempt to understand on a deeper level, we are also fascinated by what drives others, we are also drawn to experiences that evoke these curiosities, all that is secret and taboo.

Mercury moves into Capricorn today where it will remain until January 31st. Mercury rules over the element of communication, our thought structure, travel, official documentation and technology. Mercury in Capricorn is all about producing information, not as much as absorbing it! The mood and the way we think is serous, much along the lines of is this practical? Is this worth the time? Is this beneficial? Do you have the time and money to commit? Communication and the way we think will become very serious, Capricorn cuts out the wishy-washy and gets down to business. Mercury in Capricorn is great for being focused, grounded, overly cautious, traditional, rigid in our thinking and practical. It will also allow us to master the way we think and speak to others. Its shifting from being in spontaneous Sagittarius to earthy Capricorn, from free-spirited to the physical body.

However, the shadow side of Mercury in Capricorn is we become to serious, over-cautious and shut off from the magic that is  hidden in plain sight, around us all the time! Allow yourself to have a mental/ physical tune up and get practical, but also don’t forget to let your hair down and see the small blessings as they come.

Following the intensity of Monday and Tuesday, today offers us a day to rest and allows us to get lost in our daydreams and reflect. As this sassy Scorpio Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to dreamy, sensitive Neptune. What a perfect day to take some time for yourself, to meditate, to get lost in a book, a movie or listen to music whilst watching the clouds pass by. Engage today, in whatever activity brings you to a place of ‘flow” and brings you closer to your true self. Today we will have more compassion for others, we can experience heightened intuition and fascinated by the mystical arts.

Happy Hump Day!

Evolution is Possible right now, But it’s up to us to do it! 15/12/17

Retrograde Mercury cojoins Venus in Sagittarius.

The Moon is in Scorpio, until it enters Sagittarius tonight.

The Moon stays in Scorpio most of the day until enters Sagittarius later tonight. If you are in the mood, the energy will get lighter and more adventurous and fun as the Moon enters Sadge later this evening. Its Friday, grab your friends, go for dinner, dancing or tap into your inner child and make tonight’s date night fun and full of laughter.. Ten pin bowling  or karaoke anyone??

Mercury Retrograde joins with Venus in Sagittarius. What a magical connection! This energy will help you to pull your thoughts, they way you communicate, ideas and  the way we think to issues of love, beauty and money. Venus is supporting us astrology by helping us get in touch with our dreams, our deepest needs and values. What makes your heart sing? What beauty or inspiration is missing from your life? This planetary aspect will help you down the right path and smooth over the pot holes along the way!

The ideas and inspiration that comes to you now may not be new ideas as such. They are most likely to be renewed ideas and inspiration. Relationships and financial situations are in the midst of transformation as well, evaluation and expansion are on the cards but it is up to us to do it! Get Moving!

Now that you are thinking about a different direction for your love life, artistic pursuits and how to create more abundance in your finances. Just remember we are in Mercury retrograde, so hold off on making  any permanent decisions for now. Explore your ideas, gather information, make a plan and set them aside for now. Also on that note, if you can wait to launch a new project, you will have time to come back to these ideas and make sound decisions in March of 2018 when Mercury and Venus come together once more. If you are way too excited and the feeling of new ideas can not be put on the back burner, getting an action plan for recycling these old perspectives during this period is great. Murphy’s law states that during Mercury retrograde you will run into hiccups, communication errors, technology issues, foggy thinking and problem solving. However,  if you can find the light and fix the problems that arise now, imagine how bright you will shine bright when Mercury stations direct.

 

Happy Friday!

Its going to be Yin Or Yang! 12/12/17.

Sun in Sagittarius joins Mercury Retrograde.

The Moon is in Libra.

The Moon spends the day in Libra again today, as like yesterday we’re doing a balancing act and creating harmony in our world. We draw upon our charm, charisma and our negotiation skills now. The ease of Monday’s and today’s balanced Libra Moon, gives way to more activity and the possibility of tension as the Moon makes a difficult challenging aspects to both destructive Pluto and rebellious Uranus. If you can do anything today, make sure if tension arises, especially form the past to re-engage and re focus your emotions, think before you react and see the story from all sides before you act out on emotions and thoughts.

The adventurous, fun-loving Sagittarius Sun joins with talkative Mercury. Today marks  the midway point of the current mercury retrograde journey, YAY! Mercury has the ability for us to place the focus on our thoughts and communications. Today with the Sun and Mercury interacting we gain some insights or have “aha” moments, as information or certain truths come to Light, especially truths that have been hard to come up with a conclusion or closure.

Today, with the Sagittarius and Libra energy, mixed with Mercury illuminating the skies, it is going to be a good day to interact with others. However, don’t forget for a single moment that we are still in Mercury retrograde, and that means the conversations we hear or the way we interpret the conversation or messages could be a mixed bag. Make sure you hear what is actually being said rather than what you expect to hear or want to hear. Besides the jumbling of information it will either be a great day or mingling and excitement or challenging and regretful. This alignment between Mercury and the Sun also highlights or awaken new ideas and inspiration pay attention to your thoughts.

Have a good day!

Reality Check! 06/12/2017.

Retrograde Mercury cojoins Saturn.

The Moon enters Leo.

Retrograde Mercury cojoins Saturn in Sagittarius for the second time in the past 10 days. (Mercury first met Saturn on November 28th). Mercury/Saturn aligns the mind and our intellect with the planet of karma and Mastery. Today begins with your attention clearly being directed to the challenging obstacles or walls that seems to stand in the way between you and what you are seeking to accomplish. This alignment between Mercury/Saturn tends to have the effect of forcing a solution, reality, or an answer on us. This can be done be hard reality checks, wake up calls and serious conversations so pay attention to where you are being asked to step it up. Do not try to tear that wall down or trip over yourself in the process, take the Universe’s direction to slow down. Speak directly with integrity, and accept the fact that some particular walls cannot be scaled at this time. Remember some “No” are not forever, maybe something better is being lined up for you!

The Moon enters expressive, playful Leo, moving you to release the sensitivity of the Cancer Moon over the past few days. Work on being expressive, creative and put yourself out there and share yourself with others in heartfelt ways, whilst remembering not to  over dramatize yourself and the issues you are dealing with.

Happy Hump Day!

Its about partnership and integrity. 27/10/17.

The Moon leaves Capricorn behind to enter the quirky, innovative Aquarius.

Mercury in Scorpio forms a sextile Pluto in Capricorn.

Venus forms a challenging square to Pluto.

Today there is a potent alignment of 3 big players in the skies, Mercury, Venus and Pluto. The Aquarius Moon will be with us throughout the weekend, which i love because my Moon sign is Aquarius! When the Moon is in Aquarius we think outside the box, become problem solvers, we focus our services on the humanity rights of others, we are about community, freedom and creativity!

First of all we have loving Venus forming a challenging square to transformational Pluto.This will have a profound impact as it causes tension and friction between the lord of  transformation, birth and death and the goddess of all things beautiful and love. For those in a relationship this can bring your relationship to a new level, it can deepen and strengthen your connection. Remember Pluto is the lord of uncovering whats hidden deep within ourselves and bringing things to light. Watch out for posessiveness, jealousy and manipulation. Bringing what is hidden to Light is the key. However do watch out for power play and unhealthy power struggles. This goes towards all relationships, friendships, partnerships, friendships and business relationships. Maintain awareness of your own integrity in your interactions with others today.

Mercury in Scorpio  forms a sextile aspect to Pluto in Capricorn. The way we think and communicate aligns with how things are heeled and transformed. You would do well today to speak up, to make your needs clear! It will be felt stronger in our sensual relationships, as our interactions and communications can deepen and be intense, but also potentially transformative.

Finding ways today to be both light, deep, powerful and empowered in our dealings with others is the key right now. Pluto is great for those who need help and are willing to do the work asked of you! My word of advise is to wield these energies wisely! Make sure your words are laced with kindness..

 

Happy Friday everyone!

The Mind Deepens. Mercury enters Scorpio 17/10/17.

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Tuesday, October 17th, 2017.

Mercury enters Scorpio.

While you slept, Mercury left Libra behind to enter Scorpio. Shifting the mind, our thought process and intellect from air to water, our thoughts, intellect turn deep and emotional. So when you wake up this morning, you may notice the quality of your mind has shifted to a very different states. Remember that Mercury is the planet that represents the way you think, what you think about, and how you go about communicating and sharing information. When Mercury was in Libra our thinking and conversations were focused on charm, charisma, intellectual stimulation and harmonious interactions.  Now as Mercury enters Scorpio and stays there until November 5th, 2017, you become more obsessed with seeking the truth, diving deep into the waters of Scorpio and discovering hidden thoughts, turning introspective and uncovering personal and private truths.

Mercury in Scorpio is excellent energy for those who need to do some research or investigation. Scorpio who is ruled by Pluto is about transformation,truth-seeking, and can be therapeutic as you go deep to get to the Truth of matters. However so to any Yin there is a Yang, during this transit watch out as we can become very paranoid and intense, looking for secrets or the shadow side of a story when there may not be one. Try and avoid being too suspicious of everyone, cynical and moody.

Key things to remember when Mercury in Scorpio, is that we will be exceptionally sharp, mysterious, analytical, sexual and  profound. Thinking, conversations and ideas over the next few weeks can be deep, alluring, very one track minded, obsessive and we can become very STUBBORN and self-centered in all these areas that Mercury rules over.

Have a great day and remember we have a New Moon in Libra on 20/10/17. Start writing down areas that you want to expand and manifest into your life! It’s a fresh New start to getting the life you want!

 

Have a good day.

Mercury stations Direct. 05/09/2017

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

Tuesday 5th, September 2017.

Mercury stations Direct.

The Sun in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces.

Mars enters Virgo.

Several important astrological shifts happen in the wee hours of this morning. First, at the Sun in Virgo , like yesterday opposes Neptune in Pisces. Expect vivid dreams and good night sleep, as you awake, happy and feeling mystical the mighty Moon enters Pisces to support this passive dreamy mood and mind state.

Remember, that Neptune rules Pisces so the energy of Neptune and Pisces reflect and support each other. This energy can leave you waking up feeling inspired, intuitive and soft however you may also be feeling, vulnerable, highly impressionable and in a confused like state of consciousness. The key for today is to find a balance between action and reflection and not to get caught up in our “dream perception and ideas of life is meant to be”.
Astrological with all this busy energy floating around, it may be difficult on  to maintain boundaries between yourself and others. Be aware of this and tighten them up where they are necessary. Remember these boundaries are generally necessary to manage your everyday life. Furthermore try to loosen them where they can help you connect to others from a place of love.

Mars, who encompasses the male and the all might male energy, who is very assertive, leaves dramatic, playful Leo behind to enter productive Virgo. Mars will remain in Virgo until October 22nd. The Mars energy will shift from fire to earth, yang to yin. When Mars is in Virgo he will become very careful and precise, calculated and analytical over the coming weeks. Mars in Virgo is also great for getting organized, becoming efficient, healthy and integrated.

Then… what we have been waiting for! Mercury turns direct at 28° Leo. Bringing the planet of thinking, communication and perception into strong focus. Nevertheless, Mercury will begin moving forward steadily from here on out. Any issues in Communication, technology and that foggy thought process will begin to correct itself! So if any of you out there have been waiting for the time to sign those contract and make holiday plans you are now in technically the safe zone to do so! I can tell you im looking forward to our computers at work to start working properly and the bitchy behavior to stop!

However…We can be overwhelmed and be flooded with these many energies at the moment, that are hard to make sense of as the change takes place today. With all this energy floating around any critical decision-making might be avoided for the next day or so whilst these energies settle, as there may be too many distractions or mixed feelings along with and a general lack of clarity to deal with now!

Happy Tuesday!
