Are you suffering symptoms of Mercury Retrograde?

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

Yes , we are in a Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde is great at helping bring to our attention those shadow parts of us, parts we may of felt that didn’t need healing. Mercury retrograde is great at highlighting where the healing lies and the truth can be found. In Mercury Retrograde communication, travel, technology, equipment, travel and contracts can be upside down, backwards, misinterpreted, breakdowns and unnecessary disagreements occur.

At work, you can find yourself frustrated even though you’re sure that you’ve explained yourself clearly, people around you do the opposite and your fail-proof computer crashes. You experience equipment and mechanical breakdowns of all types even at home, when out and your car!

Mercury does rule the mind, mental clarity, talking, self-expression so all these over this period can become  unreliable, filled with misinformation where important data is missing or misunderstood. During this period we should watch for too hasty communications as Mercury rules our communications and thought process and well in Aires we can become very direct ,assertive and self-centered. Say what must be said but try to remember to do so with kindness and compassion.

Mercury Retrograde in Aires gives us the courage to take action on something you have struggled with over the past few weeks. What curve balls have you been dealing with over the past month? What repetitive issues seem to be surfacing? Career, a friendship, your living circumstance, a draining relationship?

If you  have found yourself or parts of yourself being exposed, and in order to work on yourself you are stressed you must remember that you also need to love yourself unconditionally. When there is a lot going on give yourself some space, as much as the mind wants order, you will find when too much is going on we get agitated and stressed. When there is times of stress you must remember you are feeling a lot of things, so give yourself some space. Give yourself permission to experience those emotions instead of categorising it, organising it. Just let what needs to be revealed,happen. In these topsy upside and can be dark days of stress and frustration use your energy and see the small joys and blessing in your day. Even though you may be suffering and want to go on strike, see the small happy moments in the day and the lesson in the bad situations! Don’t stuff your feelings away,

The discomfort  and madness we are going through and experience on any level in Mercury Retrograde or not there is a choice to choose love and happiness! You can love someone and be mad, you can be frustrated but still caring, go with the flow, be present to everything that’s going on during this period, and don’t disqualify it because there is discomfort!! It often takes deep courage to admit to your mistakes and it is likely that is a necessary part of the conversation you must have. We all make mistakes, take responsibility and move forward with determination and love.

The Sun enters Capricorn, so Allow Stress to Roll off Your Back.

The Sun moves out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn

The Moon moves into Aquarius.

the Sun’s forms an alignment with Saturn.

The Sun entered Capricorn today. the Sun’s forms an alignment with Saturn (also in Capricorn). It is asking us to get serious. Saturn is the planet of lessons and hard work so if things get tough just allow stress to roll off your back.

Now that the Sun is in Capricorn, it marks for us down under (the southern hemisphere) the summer solstice/litha and the winter solstice and yule in the northern hemisphere.

Capricorn’s are the type that keep their  feet-on-the-ground. They are focused, especially when reaching a work stats and goal.  This month, expect to keep your eye-on-the-prize. With Sun in Capricorn we become more realistic, this earth grounded signs approach to life is by working hard and playing hard. The Capricorn Sun energy will give us ideas on how to do things, and how to get things done. This month use the Capricorn energy to make something and your self worthwhile.

When the Sun is in Capricorn, our attention and focus is on hard work. We start to become authoritative and more disciplined and responsible. Capricorn is represented by the Goat, who no matter what condition is thrown their way or how hard the journey is to the top of the mountain, they will reach it no matter what. Capricorn energy really helps us cut the fluff , the maybe’s, the airy fairy and wishy-washy out of our life. Capricorn makes us focus on the important things that contribute positively in our world. Capricorn energy helps us to decide what we want to build in our lives. It gives you a solid foundation of power, ambition a drive  to work hard and build your futures.

However, as above as below. Everything has a polar opposite. The shadow side of this sign is that we must watch out for being overly controlling, hard, emotionally repressed and cold, reserved, unforgiving, unsympathetic, rigid and to much of a  perfectionist.

This serious energy is very much welcomed in my eyes, as we can welcome some discipline into our lives. I know I surely need a good shape up or a good clip around the cosmic ear as of late. This is also a great time for working on a revised plan for creating order in your life, personal, work, business and daily routines even sorting out the pantry.

The Moon leaves hard-working, responsible Capricorn behind to enter innovative, free-spirited , humanitarian Aquarius.You are able to see the bigger picture now, without getting stuck in your own personal narrative and work needs. You may notice that you are not as attached to your own emotions, personal outcomes and gains and more about the collective. You are able to be more objective regarding situations and circumstances you find yourself in.

The Aquarius Moon is understanding and compassionate towards others, you may start to think outside the box or what society calls “Normal”.

Remember it’s not to late to write your new moon wishes! Get manifesting. I you are not sure how click below to help you along the way.

Comfort and love is the name of the Game! 07/11/2017.

The Moon enters Cancer.

Venus enters Scorpio.

Mercury in Sagittarius semisquares Pluto in Capricorn

The Moon enters nurturing, sensitive Cancer today. This will allow our general state of our emotions turn inwards. We seek comfort, familiarity, we want to nest at home and be around family and loved ones. Make your partner or best friend a home cooked meal , re arrange your home or get out and bath under the Moon tonight as Cancer is ruled by the Moon and feels at ease in her presence.

Venus enters Scorpio today, where it will transit until December 1st. Venus, the planet of love, beauty and deep personal values, enters the powerful water sign of Scorpio. Deeply passionate and determinant in relationships is the focus when Venus is in Scorpio. Venus in Scorpio can be great for intimacy, sexuality, intense interactions and taboo fantasies. Its energy and purpose is very transformational and we really want to make strong bonds and deep connections with others, Venus in Scorpio is not about a quick fling!!! When Venus is in this highly intense sign its very emotional and passionate. We look for pleasures, new passions, interests and projects. However lets not forget the shadow side of Venus in Scorpio, jealously, possessiveness and becoming very controlling. Some may also allow relationships to consume them in very unhealthy ways.
Mercury in Sagittarius semisquares Pluto in Capricorn. This aspect can cause disruption and friction between the way we think and communicate and the planet of transformation, death and rebirth. Capricorn is determined and in Pluto it will try to dig deep, it wants to discoverer any and all truths, even if they are nasty, ugly and raw. Pluto in Capricorn  has to get to the bottom truth of any matter. Mercury, however sometimes prefers to just skim over the surface and see truths from a more positive side. Today try to really watch how you speak and interact with others, also watch your thoughts! Take all gathered information in and choose to see things from a more positive aspect. Remember changing one negative thought to a positive thought causes a ripple effect in your life in such a positive way!

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Halloween! 31/10/17!

The Moon is in Pisces.

The Pisces Moon forms a trine to Mercury in Scorpio.

The Moon forms a square to Saturn.

Halloween is here!

Today brings more of the same energy as we had yesterday! The mystical Moon is still in Pisces, encouraging you to open imagination and do some internal self-reflection. Happy Halloween, and how fitting that the Moon stays in Pisces most of the day (until late this afternoon when it enters head strong Aires), and Halloween is about imagination, the spiritual realm, the veil between worlds lifting, intuition and fantasy. Your connection to deep divinity, creativity, and original insights remain strong throughout the day.

The Pisces Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to Mercury in Scorpio. Making the communication planet working in your favor as your communications and dealings with others will be easily heard and positively received. Mercury is a great at helping us think clearly and start  conversations about feelings or things we typically find difficult to express, and now it’s sitting in sassy Scorpio we will have the courage to speak up for our self and talk about issues we may have hidden from before!

The Moon makes is a harsh square to Saturn later today. This can throw us off the whimsical fun and play of all this Pisces and Halloween energy. We may have some wake up calls of seriousness and reach some limitations. Saturn who is ruled by Capricorn helps us to bring meaning and structure to our world. Saturn  the great teacher may be reminding some of us to slow down, I know with all this hype of Halloween its hard to get serious but Saturn is ultimately doing this for our own good.

Just remember , today is a great day to play with your deep imaginative playful side, get out there and  encourage those around you to engage in fanciful play.

 

Happy Halloween

The Moon entered Scorpio.

The Moon in Scorpio conjunts Jupiter in Scorpio and Mercury in Scorpio.

As the Moon begins her trek through mysterious Scorpio, you can feel the intensity in the air rise! When the Moon is in Scorpio the energy is passionate, deeply intimate and things will be felt on a deep personal level today! Feeling stuck anywhere in your life? Well good news Scorpio is great at uncover the hidden, we are great at reading between the lines and getting to the bottom of things. Today most of the day is quiet in regards to the cosmos, so what a perfect day to get personal.

The Moon in Scorpio conjunts Jupiter in Scorpio. Not only do we have Scorpio energy playing on our emotions and mood (The Moon) we have the planet of expansion and abundance ( Jupiter) in Scorpio, so feelings and emotions will become very strong. We may act out on emotional impulses and some may think the world is against them or play ” victim”.

Today will also be a great day of self discovery, connecting with your self and your environment will help you truly figure out what you want , what your about and how you want to go about making changes to reach these dreams.

Not only do we see this conjunction between Jupiter and the Moon, but we also see them joining with Mercury in Scorpio. The communication planet in Scorpio means that our thinking and conversation could heat up, become serious and passionate! Be warned that the results of your words and thoughts can go both ways, and some things said and done today can have a larger impact than you expected. It will also be a great morning to allow healing to come through words expressed, journal writing and exploring your inner deep self.

Happy Friday.

HAve a great weekend.

New Moon in Libra 2017!

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Thursday, October 19th, 2017.

The New Moon is in Libra.

Sun in Libra opposes Uranus.

As we wake up today, we have reached the New Moon at 26° Libra. A New Moon represent the beginning of a new luna cycle and therefore a new beginning for us to work on what we want we to gain, achieve and create in our life in order to be prosperous.

This month New Moon is in Libra, you will want to plant a seed that draws in Libra energy such as harmony, relationships, love, romance, balance and fairness. Libra is represented by a set of scales which calls us to find routine, balance and justice in our life, it’s about grace and love and seeing the story from all points of view.

New Moons are great at sifting through our daily life to find out what is working and what isn’t! How can you manifest things into your life if you are holding onto clutter and are focusing your energy on what no longer serves a purpose? Sit down and really think about your day-to-day life? has something has been taking up too much of your time and energy, or you are struggling to keep on top of things or feel like you are fighting a loosing battle? This New Moon in Libra may force you to finally create some balance and make positive changes.

The New Moon is at its darkest, it is recharging and drawing in the Sun energy to begin its new cycle. It is drawing in Libra energy, as the Sun is positioned in the sign of Libra. So when you sit down today or tomorrow to write your New Moon wishes, focus on the relationships in your life, people in your life, your social life and your surface surroundings. Libra is an Air sign, its cerebral, its selfless, it seeks Justice and fairness these a great key words when you look back on what you are looking at creating or working on manifesting this month.

The desire this month is to be around people, to be social, to get out and let your hair down, to form new relationships either personal or business and to get out and create positive experiences. Libra being at 28 degrees in numerology breaks down to 8. Eight vibrates at the energy of Power. So not only will the desire to strengthen or form new relationships but a very strong desire to create powerful, lasting bonds. It motivates you to get out there and connect.

Remember, no matter what messages or inspirational motivation you get this New Moon, when it comes to Libra its energy is all about finding balance both in our inner an outer world. Whilst Libra is very social and loves seeking intellectual and situating conversations, it’s also about connecting to the beauty and peace within and creating a beautiful space to call your own.
Today, even with the New Moon in peaceful Libra, the Sun and Uranus are clashing in the skies, so some may feel anxiety or excitement. This Sun/Uranus cycle began back in April this year, this cycle is one that helps us with reaching and seeking a personal freedom. Have you felt the desire to detach from what is called ” Normal”, throwing away conventional ideas and ways of thinking, rebelling and wanting to be original? Take a moment and think back to what has been happening to you since April? How far have you come? What excitement or views of change have crossed your path in this time? Track your progress if you can, and if you are able to, determine how best to bring these issue forward or awaken them fully in your life in the coming months. Uranus is the great rebellion planet that helps us awaken our true desires, it uncovers the unexpected and it can happen very suddenly so look out for twist and turns in your day.

Happy New Moon manifesting gang!

Have a great day.

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.

Wednesday is about self care and nurturing! 11/10/2017

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Wednesday October 11th, 2017.

The Moon is in Cancer.

Mars in Virgo squares Saturn in Sagittarius.

When you wake up this morning, the Moon will have entered nurturing Cancer while you slept. The Moon rules over Cancer, and the Moon is all about our emotions, making this a day to settle into your feelings. Cancer loves to seek and provide comfort. Cook for yourself, make a romantic meal or feed your friends. Today the energy is wonderful to show love and warmth to everyone you meet, stranger or not.

Aggressive Mars form a challenging square aspect to restrictive Saturn. This will create some friction between the planet that rules our will and drive and the Master planet of limitation, lessons and Karma. You may experience frustration and aggravation today, if you feel as the whole world is against you, what a great  warning or a sign to slow down and resist the temptation to react or respond without thinking things through! The key to today is to slow down and take things steady, if you feel situations or emotions are getting out of your control, take a walk, clear your mind. Let your actions today be taken with discernment, an open heart and integrity and not from an impulse, reaction and  irritability!

The past few days have been deeply challenging and comfort is one thing you can do with and offer use the Moon in Cancer to nurture yourself and others, retreat to the comfort of your home and loved ones today if it gets too much!.

Happy Wednesday Gang!
