Retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius semi squares Jupiter in Scorpio.

The Moon is in Leo.

Retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius forms a challenging semi squares Jupiter in Scorpio. This can cause some tension between what the mind thinks and what the truth actually is. Communication, truths and finding out what is hidden in the shadows will be tempting today but if we have strength and willingness to work within our self to uncover whats hidden within, waiting to be healed is the key today and not trying to find the dark shadow truths of others. Furthermore, watch out in the way you communicate today, as your’s and others communications can be off and misinterpreted, also watch out for speaking carelessly and pay attention to slips of the tongue! As we are in Mercury retrograde and our thoughts, reactions and communication can be misunderstood, and unexpected mishaps can happen right now! The best way to navigate through this energy is to take things slow and to give yourself time, With Mercury in Retrograde rocking the boat with Saturn still, we are still feeling its impact and rocky energy. Try to take any challenges with a grain of salt.

With the Moon being in playful Leo today, the Leo energy eases up the tension in the air, as it is great for treating yourself to some fun, excitement or chase your expressive creative pursuits. Make it a priority today to do something you love. Go to the beach, see a movie, take your dog for a walk, get your energy up and active, go on a date or dance the night away. This Leo moon energy will also help break up all the intense Mercury/Saturn energy. Get in touch with your inner child, engage in the love and romance, and playfulness. Just enjoy the simple things in life today

 

 

Have an amazing Thursday.

New Moon in Libra 2017!

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.

Monday Funday, 25/09/2017!

 Mercury in Virgo squares Saturn in Sagittarius.

The Crescent Moon enters Sagittarius.

Early this Morning the crescent Moon enters Sagittarius. The Moon sextiles the Sun in Libra. Mercury in Virgo squares Saturn in Sagittarius. Today you start the week off with enthusiasm and energy. Relationships will work well today and not cause you any drama, you are charming, energetic and smooth. However, with Mercury and Saturn connecting you have some hesitation and doubts when making decisions. This is OK, if you think about it some areas of your life and issue could still be foggy and you not knowing completely what the right direction to go in makes this aspect good for really sitting down , making a plan and thinking things through.

Lets talk more about this Mercury/Saturn square. Mercury in Virgo squares Saturn in Sagittarius. This can cause some challenging moments for us as this aspect energy is serious, focused and well to be honest it will have us focusing on the negative possibilities and worst outcomes to be expected. Try and remember when negative thoughts pop up, that if we focus our attention to the worst case scenarios, we can end up missing the bigger picture due to the fact we are constantly focused on the finer details. Let it go and let the universe figure it out. Remember what we think and feel we attract! Today avoid being over critical and judgmental.

The Moon is about Emotions, in Sagittarius we are optimistic, happy-go-lucky and energetic. Today you may be looking for a new adventure, booking travel and going with the flow as they say YOLO! Today some of us are emotionally bored with the mundane, and every day routine. A change of scenery will do you good, go have lunch somewhere different, walk home a different route and have a break in your routine. The Crescent Moon is a time to think back last week about your New Moon intentions. This is a time to allow those dreams to flourish.

Happy Monday!

New Moon in Virgo.

The New Moon in Virgo.

Today the Sun and the Moon sit next to each other. The Moon is completely black and she is recharging, working up the energy for the next Full Moon . The New Moon represents the beginning of a new lunar cycle. The first since the big Solar Eclipse on August 21st. This months New Moon is at 27 degrees in Virgo. Virgo is the energy that will be pulled into this New Moon. The Sun and Moon both sit at 27 degrees in Virgo. Virgo is an earth sign, it is very good at taking in information breaking it down and coming up with meaning and answers.

Virgo is a great sign to sort out problems, it knows whats working, what isn’t, whats worth putting energy into and whats worth cutting your losses. Its deceive at looking at all the information and independently making sound meaningful decisions and actions. During this New Moon this is the sort of energy you will feel being pulled in.

New Moons equal new beginnings! This New Moon is an excellent opportunity for us to formulate some goals you want to achieve over the next month. Plant a seeds of commitment and intention and in the case of using Virgo’s energy! This means planting seeds of kindness, self-care, organisation, support and helping others out. Lets harness all the goodness of Virgo’s energy this New Moon. Organisation should be high on your list when making your New Moon intentions, especially so that we can free our minds of clutter. Organisation in regards to your health is very important ( I know it’s a priority for me, post winter body and sluggish), is there a new diet or exercise routine you have been wanting to try? Need more time and critical awareness in regards to your diet and eating habits? Now is the chance to focus you time and attention to making healthy changes! Do you need inspiration and a clear mind in handling the finer details of your day-to-day life? Does your work or home need some organization or rearranging for the better? Yes, you may notice a desire to clear space in your closets and cupboards! However, don’t forget to clear the clutter from your heart and minds! Setting up specific routines this month that will help us manage our lives in constructive, supportive and mindful ways, and all this should be a massive the clue when writing your New Moon wish list.

So today take an inventory of your life! Pay attention to the details, write down whats going well and whats working and what not an needs changing!Clearing out the spaces of your life is great so we can focus and support new areas of growth in our life, in others, in your relationships and in our self. Virgo is very analytical so pay particular attention to your daily routines and I bet you will be surprised in the outcome. Maybe getting organised gives you more time for yourself, your family and most importantly a clear, happy mind!

Just remember there is always a less positive side to any sign. Virgo’s are known to be perfectionist, critical (on themselves and others) and can be a little nit picky. Doing your best is one thing, but trying to be a perfectionist is another. Don’t go searching for flaws, imperfections or bad habits in people and your self! Avoid being too critical and don’t be hard on yourself. Remember this is an exciting fresh new start! It’s a New Moon wishing Day! If negative thoughts or habits pop up, refocus your thoughts to how can I help and commit myself to help build platforms of kindness and support for others. Really ask yourself.. How can I help? and most of all build a solid foundation  and self-care for yourself.

Happy New Moon Wishing .

Tarot card for the week… A lesson in watching our thoughts! 30/8/2017

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

Watch your thoughts as they become reality! What you think is what you attract!

The past couple of days I have had a real urge to pull a tarot card, plus add to the mix i have had consistent universal messages such as repetitive numbers which repetitively telling me to keep up the positive thoughts and work, quotes popping up on twitter, hay house playing shows on the topic of our thoughts, strangers telling me that what i think come reality. So surprising enough when i pulled a card today this is what came up…

 

The message on the card reads…

It’s important to only think
about what you desire,
not what you fear.

By drawing this card, you’re alerted to the extra importance of monitoring your thoughts. You have no neutral thoughts, and every one of them creates an effect in your life. So you’re being asked to be vigilant in holding only positive thoughts.

Most of us slip into negativity occasionally, and you may be no exception. However, you can “undo” the effects of negative thinking by recognizing them, and stating: “I now cancel that thought, and replace it with the following positive affirmation of my true Divine desires.”

Then list the situations and attributes that mirror your godliness and goddessliness. During this important part of your life, you have the power to manifest your highest potential at the most rapid rate possible.

So basically guys we are being asked by the universe to watch your thoughts and that your thoughts create your reality. We are being asked daily, in every moment to be mindful of whats going through our thought process.

You are being asked that you be mindful of the chatter that goes on in your head……your inner and outer spoken words, your beliefs about yourself and your life, especially what you believe you deserve and what you feel and think you are worthy of.

You deserve all of the wonderful blessings that life and the universe has to offer but it is important to know how powerful you are in creating those blessings. Your thoughts are very powerful, as you go through the day and a negative thought enters your mind, take control of it, delete it, replace it, Say “Stop!” or “No!” replace it with an uplifting and positive thought The life you are living right now is the result of your thoughts. Think about it…

Saturn Stations Direct, Venus dances in Cancer. 25/08/2017

The Moon is in Libra.

Saturn stations direct.

Venus enters Leo.

We are in the Waxing Phase of the Libra Moon, and that means today is a great day for New Beginnings. The Libra Moon joins with expansive Jupiter in Libra, that its forms an aspect to Saturn and Mars which means action, excitement and being OK with hard work.

When the Moon in Libra joins forces with expansive Jupiter our relationships, love and money is highlight and extra lucky!

Saturn, the Master planet of structure, karma, hard work, and responsibility turned retrograde on April 6th this year. Take a good look back at what has been on hold in your life since? Early this Morning Saturn stationed direct in Sagittarius. When planets are stationary, they are at their most powerful energetically speaking, channel this power make advances and move forward in any areas of your life you have been hesitant about making changes or progress.

Saturn Direct is great for move the motion forward on any serious endeavor you have ad hiccups or reserves about. We can feel comfortable in moving forward in business and in our work. However do not underestimate the your responsibility especially when it come to our personal

 

Venus moves out of Cancer and into Leo.  Shifting her energy  from water, nurturing intuitive to fire, passion, from yin to yang.

Venus in Leo is a great time of passion, fun, romantic and creativity endeavors, and romance! When Venus is in Leo our drive and desire is love and in the most wonderful grand ways, whether it is with an intimate partner, family, friends! However remember the shadow side of Venus in Leo, too much pride, being superficial and a little narcissistic.

Happy Friday everyone!

Have a great weekend.

Gaining Momentum 11/08/2017!

The Moon enters Aires.

Retrograde Uranus in Aries semisquares retrograde Neptune in Pisces.

In the every early hours of this morning, the Moon entered head strong, energetic Aries. When the Moon is in this first sign of the zodiac we gain courage, we become head strong ready to charge at any challenge. Today is a great day for physical activity if you have been particularly lethargic this week get outside and move and  Enjoy the abundance of this Fire sign.

However, please keep an eye on the possible tendency to take an irrational and very impulsive action, especially if you really have not thought things out properly. Aries is impulsive so don’t start anything you cannot finish up over the next few days, especially with Mercury stationing retrograde tomorrow!

 

Retrograde Uranus in Aries semi squares retrograde Neptune in Pisces. Uranus and Neptune form their first semi-square in a set that spans until May 1, 2019. This may bring some tension between the planet of illusion and mysticism and the planet of revolutionary and the rebel of the sky! It is a great aspect to wake up our consciousness, insights, spiritual awareness and intuition.This will be a time when we can feel particularly inspired, creative, and enriched although we may feel restless if our dreams are no longer fulfilling us. Try and stay grounded and connect to reality is key to make the most of this aspect.

New Moon in Pisces conjunts Chiron in Pisces and sextiles Pluto in Capricorn.

Mars in Aries opposes retrograde Jupiter in Libra.

New Moon in Pisces conjunts Chiron in Pisces and sextiles Pluto in Capricorn. Today is all about getting back to you,  especially after the hectic week we had last week and with the New Moon solar eclipse which is all about letting go of built up emotions and energy, we can really set our sights on us, feeling more solid and secure. Bring the energy inwards we are more grounded. So make some time for yourself today, let the dust settle today.

Mars in Aries opposes retrograde Jupiter in Libra. What a great energy to help us take action. Jupiter in Libra reminds us that we need to think of others and work towards compromise We will also have a strong desire to grow, expand, and know more. Today we have the courage to start new things which is great if you are still writing your New Moon wishes and manifestations.. get a pen and paper and start journaling down all your dreams and ambitions. However be careful there can be impatience in the air today and if we feel limited or restricted,or if we don’t know where to begin, this can result in tempers rising and frustration.

Happy Monday gang

The Moon is in Scorpio

Venus forms a sextile with Pluto.

 

The Moon is in Scorpio all day, So lets proceed today with passion! We can also find ourselves approaching the day with some intensity and purpose. Direct this fiery day towards positive projects and people.

As the Moon moves through secretive, sassy Scorpio we will also see Venus the planet of love and abundance connecting with Pluto. However we should be aware and watch out for the strong urge to unhealthy over express love or even obsess, as the energy   is in the air today.

Venus forms a sextile with Pluto today. This can point out new strategic approaches to our money and relationships, it also give us comfortable new insights into our personal and business partnerships that leave us feeling good inside.

With the Moon in Scorpio and Venus in Pluto we can expect to be in a generally pleasant and positive mood, and be more focused and intense in our dealings with loved ones and people we meet. This is also a good time to tap into our darker side and embrace the more taboo things in life. Today  also has great energy around financial abundance, wealth, romance and the love for the finer things in life.

Happy Friday and have a great day

Moon in Gemini

Saturn squaring Neptune

The Moon continues its transit of Taurus until it enters Gemini early this morning. The Gemini Moon is known to stimulate our curiosity, it also challenges us to connect, interact and learn about our self and with others… We all know how sociable Gemini’s can be sociable so if you are in the mood catch up with friends or have a dinner party . This Gemini Moon is fun, light-hearted and easy breezy, but remember its shadow side or the yin to the yang twin energy it can also leave us feeling restless, moody , fickle and isolated.

The Moon is in an opposition to Saturn who is forming a square to Neptune this afternoon. Ups and downs between fact and fiction’s could arise as we wrestle to discern between them both.

With Mercury moving to a direct 14’49 Virgo station early tomorrow, Now is the time to time to rethink, review and revise those Virgo energies such as our health and well-being, work and service. We should be particularly vigilant with our communications this week as we are still feeling the effects of Mercury Retrograde. Others things we should be reworking and organizing are the organization and efficiency of our daily life, routines and habits

Be warned guys…with Mercury stationing today we are not out of the clear yet, so be aware that travel, technology and communications still can be askew. It’s not time to take purposeful action just yet, you have been patience.

Have a great day everyone
