Pluto stations Retrograde 20/4/17

Pluto stations retrograde in Capricorn.

Mercury Retrograde moves back into Aires.

Mercury Retrograde moves backwards into Aires today.  Some may feel the shift from earthy,grounded Taurus to fast pace, fiery Aires. With Mercury back in Aries, our communications will be more direct, assertive and we become very head strong and dynamic! However as much as being a little more assertive can be good thing we can also be aggressive, overly fire, angry and dominating too. Finding ways to breath and calm down  in times of anger so that we are communicating and thinking directly but not violently or aggressively is key to getting through today. Pay attention to the difference between assertiveness and aggression.

One of the highlights of this Mercury retrograde journey especially for me who is going through some major life changes is its triple conjunction with Uranus during the coming weeks with the 2nd interaction taking place soon. Prepare and brace yourself for shocking, all empowering, or sudden information being illuminated and coming to Light.

Pluto stations retrograde in the sign of Capricorn today, and thus making the Lord of the Underworld and planet of death and rebirth the most powerful planet in the sky! Pluto’s intense and complex energy hangs heavy in the air until September 28th, 2017 when it moves direct. Over the next few days/weeks surrounding Pluto’s station can be especially intense, and I bet you can all feel it in the air, something dark and stirring. So be aware of how you use and dominate your power, and stay clear of power/control dynamics and manipulation as we may be re-assessing how we use our power.

Empowerment Vs over powering is the theme and my caution during this time. Any conflict that you may occur now is worth examining , instead of seeing the negatives, ask yourself what the message is in these challenges you face during this phase.

Have a great day!

Mercury in Capricorn goes into retrograde.

Mars into Pisces.

Mercury turns retrograde in the sign of Capricorn today, it will remain retrograde until January 8th. This is the last time Mercury will be retrograde for the year and seeing it is in Capricorn it is a great time to revisit any plans that involve. Mercury is all about the way we think and when it’s in practical Capricorn we are in a good position to reevaluate professional or life path plans and goals. We may have little tolerance for small talk, as Capricorn isn’t about small nonsense chitchat. Today as Mercury stations itself, there can be cloudy thinking, judgment and misunderstandings. Think before you react today as you or someone you cross paths with today may be affected.

Mercury retrograde makes it harder for us and others to communicate ideas,plans and the message we want to get across. Travel can be thrown off, flights delayed, travel plans can be challenging, which over Christmas can be difficult, so allow yourself plenty of time and pre plan for minor mishaps to happen print your itinerary and ticket and double-check ticket time. Mercury retrograde periods can be times of heightened inner awareness, and is best used for re-organizing, reflecting and reworking old plan.

Mars moves out of Aquarius and enters Pisces this morning, where it will transit until January 28th. Mars into Pisces shifting the warrior, our ambition and drive from air to water. When Mars the fire-red planet goes into the watery sign of Pisces we tend to be less motivated to pursue traditional goals and be more inclined to pursue spiritual emotional goals. Our drive and energy can be up and down like the tides of an ocean during this aspect we take an intuitive approach to pursuing our desires. Mars in Pisces is a symbol of the Spiritual warrior so try to focus your energy on a spiritual, mystical and creative journey over the next few weeks.

Have a great day

The New Moon in Capricorn

Mercury enters Capricorn

Arh Mercury the planet of communication, travel, thoughts and our mental realm moves into practical Capricorn. Mercury is in Capricorn from December 2-January 4 2017. Mercury represents mental energy or intelligence . It governs that part of the brain that concerns our communication including interactions with others.  Today  when Mercury moves out of the sign of  Sagittarius and into Capricorn we see a shift from passion, adventure and free-flowing to a more grounded and practical way of thinking. Mercury in Capricorn is focused, our thinking is methodical and our focus practical and deep. This next month our concentration on the task ahead will be easier, our conversation with others will be more realistic and focused on practical matters than airy fairy matters, we are logical orderly, and organized in our dealing.

The New Moon is in Capricorn.With the Moon and Mercury in Capricorn we are very serious, timing is important and we will try to seek definition and structure to the world around us and internally.  Self-discipline will be the theme of the day and some will feel a renewed acceptance of your personal responsibilities. Today use the Capricorn energy to gather determination to focus on the reality of what you know must be done in your life and for the future.Realism enters the picture today,  and precision becomes important to us.

Have a great day and an amazing weekend

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.

14 degrees in Mercury.. 10/8/16

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

 Monday August 8th

Today we see the Crescent Moon in Libra  before it changing signs and enters Scorpio (an opposition to Uranus) on Tuesday, August 9th, at 12:52 AM EDT.

With the Moon in charming Libra all day, we will find the most satisfaction with our interactions. We are easygoing today, and also inclined to go along with people in order to keep the peace, after all Libras are all about balance!

Mercury is in the sign of Virgo today.  Mercury is the planet of communication and our thought process and Virgos are all about the small details so today pay attention to information, ideas, insights and communication that come in right now.

Today some of us will have aha moments that shed Light on your life, souls life purpose, experiences and personal path of growth and evolution.

Venus in Virgo trines Ceres (the asteroid goddess and Great Mother) in Taurus at 1:33pm, This is a great aspect for getting clear on what we want and what we value in regards to love, beauty, money and what our souls purpose is. Virgo is a sign focused on being of service, hard work, analytical, practicality and healing.Virgos are always paying attention to smallest details. Ceres in Taurus trine energy will give us the support we need to focus on the safety,security  and physical nourishment aspect of our lives.

Today i also want to talk about how today is a lucky day, 8/8/16 .Number 8 is Universal Spiritual Law of Cause and Effect its infinite. Number 8 resonates with the influences and vibrations of  personal power, self-confidence, wisdom, enlightenment, inner-strength, success, money, finances, and manifesting wealth and abundance.

Today  we should all try to incorporate  things that support these energies.

Embrace change is the key today.

I hope you have a great Monday!
