Chiron stations Direct.

The Moon is in Cancer.

Today brings powerful transformations and connections, it will allow deep emotional states of expanded awareness. As Chiron stations direct at 24’19 Pisces. Chiron reaches its station after many months of retrograde motion (Since July 1st this year). Making the Wounded Healer the most powerful planet in the sky. Chiron is the planet that represents our inner healing and wounds that must be addressed in order for us evolve. Chiron also our represents deep spiritual wounds.

Emotional truths will surface especially in regards to matters we’ve been avoiding. It will also bring up thoughts and feelings of confusion. What emerges over the next few weeks may make you feel uneasy or uncomfortable, but it will hopefully drive you to recognise the things that can be changed and accept the things that can not, and hopefully motivate us to take action!

Chiron brings up our biggest, deepest, hidden wounds and pains, such as past and future rejection, feelings of inadequacy, acceptance, past heart breaks and boundaries. Chiron, as a wounded healer, first makes us face issues of low self-worth and self-denial and then forces us to learn to rise above these issues and grow on a soul level. Where does Chiron sit in your natal chart? This can point to where we have healing powers or where we may over-compensate in those areas.

tap into your emotions, dive deep into the Unconscious watery realms of the Soul!We have a chance to see things with new eyes and in a different light. Because some of our wound go deep, you have a powerful new chance to work hard to overcome those wound.

The Moon spends the day in Cancer, stimulating our desire to stick to a familiar, nurturing path and a warm safe environment.With all the carry on with Mercury and the Full Moon the Cancer Moon is a breath of fresh air as we can retreat in the safety and comfort of home, especially cleaning up, sorting out, cooking and caring for family. It’s also a great day to spend time with loved ones or nurturing and loving yourself. With Chiron stationing direct today and the Moon in Cancer we are more inclined to work on or with our sensitivities however our vulnerabilities may try to hold us back, but the Cancer Moon will help nurse and comfort our wounds.

Have a wonderful day!

Full Moon in Gemini and Mercury Turns Retrograde on 03/12/2017!

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Full Moon and Mercury Retrograde December, 2017.

This is the Christmas full Moon and it happens at 11 degrees in Gemini. The Full Moon has building up all month and now its reaches its fullest. It is fully illuminated by the Sun in Sagittarius and  is ready to shine down and share with us all this Gemini/Sadge  energy. Full Moons give us more energy, we get supercharged and we feel there is more going on behind the scenes. Being everything is at 11 degrees ie the Sun/ Moon which interesting, as the Moon is sitting at 11 degrees Gemini and if you look at Gemini its symbol is represented by 11. The number 11 is all about new doors opening, a new chapter, a new beginnings and opportunities, it’s about life changing decisions, marriages, partnership, new doors opening and new jobs.

This Full Moon has some significant energy presented to us this month. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, our thought process, travel and insight. This Full Moon has a great potential for us to make change in our life and to transform it. If you can picture this Full Moon as a magical door way (like Narnia) Opening us up to a magical new life of manifestations, new beginnings and abundance. Its going to be very impressive, and don’t be surprised by this all as 11:11 brings in the help of our guides, god, the universe, angels, ancestors and guardian angels to help you along the way to get you to the moment of awakening and insight.

The Gemini Full Moon brings full illumination to what occurred at the Scorpio New Moon last month on November 18th, 2017. Take out your New Moon wish book, because whatever your focus was on or whatever you began at the New Moon will now show its results, unless the universe has better plans for you!

Traditionally a Full Moon is a time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems. Release what no longer serves us or holds us back. Out with the old physical, emotional, spiritual and mental baggage to make room for bigger better things. Of course, however we might want to exercise some care and caution while doing so especially in the way we talk, communicate and process our thoughts. As Mercury did station retrograde on the same day. Which means communications, our thinking and taking in information has the potential to be scrambled or misinterpreted and what is coming out of us may not particularly rational, our dialogue can be misread and the way we communicate could be one-sided or misinterpreted.

The Sun is at 11 degrees in Sagittarius and is 180 degrees away from the Moon illuminating it. The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity axis is some what divergent as Gemini represents our “lower mind” and Sagittarius represents our “higher mind” The Sun in Sagittarius itself is all about a higher learning and understanding. Sagittarius persuades us to think in a far broader manner,we seek mystical knowledge, expand our learning in unconventional ways. We want to connect to the divine and embark on care free adventures. Where as a Gemini encourages us to think logically, practically and factual.

Those of us who are abstract thinkers, this Full Moon is really going life the veil and help up reach that higher self and learning, meditating will be great to connect with these other realms and absorbs new information

The Full Moon is almost exact square to Neptune in Pisces at 11 degrees. Neptune in Pisces is happy, it’s a water sign of dreaming illusion, INTUITION, fantasy, denial and escapism. This can points to confusion, as the Gemini Full Moon wants to be clear, logical with clarity,but when this planet ( Neptune) is involved, it may make things foggy and unclear.

Traditionally Full Moons are about clearing out the clutter, releasing what no longer serves us, gaining clarity and recognition, and Gemini energy especially demands we see reality and logic. Of course with this Neptune’s square to the Moon reality may be hard to see unfortunately. Be smart and grab what information is given to you. If you are in denial and outright avoiding reality or are unsure with what information or situations you are given, retreat, go home snuggle in your safe place and sift through the information that is given. Your guts or “intuition” will let you know whats right for you.

The ruler of this Gemini Moon is Mercury, who may I add just stationed retrograde late last night. Mercury has turned retrograde at 29° Sagittarius. Mercury has a wonderful way to make us return to a past problem or discussion and revise and review, but on a positive note with a critical eye. Communication within yourself and others can be misunderstood and miscommunication, it’s important to keep in mind we are in Mercury Retrograde and that we don’t have the full story and information the same as others are being affected just like us. There are easy ways to survive Mercury Retrograde over the next 3 weeks. Get a notebook and a pen out. Make a list of everything that you have begun but haven’t completed in the past few months, house jobs, issues that have been bugging you, that certain talk with someone you have been avoiding, organisation of your car, work and home, that art piece, your tax, assignments etc.. During the Retrograde, focus on yourself and get to work on accomplish what is on that list! If your mind wonders like me, make sure you accomplish only what is on this list maybe have a reward system in place for when you are done, and hay there is no better feeling than ticking boxes off a to do list.

Remember don’t be afraid, worried, or concerned! Mercury retrograde brings us a great gift, the perfect opportunity to wrap up loose ends and cut cords! The shadow side of Mercury retrograde is that yes travel plans can have hiccups, communication between others can get misinterpreted and lead to problems, appointments booked by yourself, but you turn up and it was never booked in at all, computers and technology can crash,emails and memos can get lost. Anything that Mercury rules over can or may go wrong! Most important don’t be tempted to start new projects, start a new jobs, sign documents (Unless necessary) take on new commitments or commit to new relationships.

 

Happy Full Moon and Mercury Retrograde.

Me stubborn? Not at All! Astrological Forecast 29/11/17.

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Wednesday, November 29, 2017.

Today brings with it a free-flowing, trine aspect between the feisty Aries Moon and the idealistic Sagittarius Sun. This fully engaged fire energies in the air today will be very affirmative, driven and an expressive day… Especially for those who have planets between 6° – 8° of the Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius). This trine between the Sun and Moon helps us keep our emotions and intentions positively aligned.

By this evening the aggressive, impatient Aries Moon forms a challenging square aspect with powerful, transformative Pluto. This Moon’s square to Pluto can cause conflict between the part of us that wants to push ahead and break through obstacles and the logic part of us needing to use strategy. Power struggles and dynamics can also happen late this afternoon. You are probably best off working on your own today, although early in the day, it will be easier to take others into consideration. It would also be wise if you felt the need to assert your self, assert control or you start to feel hot-headed, passive-aggressive and impatient with others, to spend the evening alone or allow a lot of space to all concerned, especially with all this impulsive energy floating around.

Allow clarity and confidence to embrace you today as this courageous Aries Moon grows toward a clever and inquisitive Gemini Full Moon on Sunday. Find a balance between sensitivity and assertiveness today and remember if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.

 

Happy Hump day!

Dream Big! 22/11/17.

Wednesday November 22nd. 

 Neptune stations direct at 11’27 Pisces. 

The Moon is in Capricorn.

When you wake up today you may notice that you had some imaginative and vivid dreams. As Neptune is making a significant appearance today, and that makes this planet of mysticism, dreaming and illusion the most powerful planet in the sky.

Neptune stations  direct at 11° Pisces. Neptune is the water planet that represents our dreams, intuition, creativity, spirituality, unconditional love and mysticism and with it turning direct (as Neptune has been moving retrograde since mid-June) it’s like we are back to business. We regain a sense of hope for our dreams and our future. We get that sense back that we can make things happen for our self once again. Since Neptune turned retrograde back in June, it has really pushed us to ask our self as well as reevaluate an important dream that we have had, or an artistic venture, or our spiritual path. What big dream have you been holding onto since then? If you don’t know, allow your intuition to guide you. For a big clue to what area of your life is being activated in this way, consider where Pisces falls in your chart? For me it’s in my 6th house! The veil between the worlds is thin when Neptune stations and the key to using this energy is in meditation, journaling, reflection and introspection. 

However, now that Neptune station today, the shadow side is that some may have a hard time focusing, as we can get lost in day dreaming and find it difficult to focus long enough really tackle a task. Neptune energy also reflects and can presented in the form of delusion, denial, avoidance of reality, playing the victim and refusing to see the other side of the story.

It is a time to confront any emotions, addictions, repetitive patterns that don’t serve a purpose to your higher self and its especially not a great time to make definitive decisions as it’s not quite clear which way is up and which way is down with all this dreamy water energy floating around.  

This is now a time to illuminate your dreams, seek inspiration from the world around you to get creative. You will have the motivation to work towards a better future, one where you see yourself happy. Yay!

The Moon is still in grounded Capricorn. We will want to keep our expectations realistic under the influence and although sometimes pessimistic. The Capricorn Moon will form a challenging aspect to transformative and also, destructive Pluto. This means today especially when interacting with others watch out for power struggles as we may have tendencies to engage in coercive power dynamics with others. Stop, count to three in your head and speak from a place of integrity and responsibility for our own words and actions.  

I over head this “saying” or “prayer” toady and thought it quite fitting…

Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.  

Today is about the things you accept and the things you can and cannot change!Tap into Neptune’s energy and find the wisdom.

Happy Hump Day!

The Sun enters Sagittarius.

The Moon enters Capricorn.

Venus in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn.

The big news today comes when the Sun, following her haul through the deep, mysterious and passionate waters of Scorpio, now enters fun-loving, adventurous  Sagittarius! Shifting the conscious self and our ego from water to fire, introspection to outer focus, from emotional to explorative. Over the coming month, we have an inner calling to be spontaneous, to reach out to understand and see the bigger picture, we want to explore and to see the perspective of others.

The emotional environment of today day turns a little more serious as the Moon enters hard-working and realistic Capricorn. When the Moon is in Capricorn we shift to more of a grounded practical energy. Hard work and facts become a priority today no time for funny business!!

Venus in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn. This cycle which begun back in November 2016, think back to this time? What profoundly transforming shifts in regards to love relationships, personal values, deeper levels of intimacy and truth have been realized and explored? When the planet of beauty and love aligns and joins forces with the planet of transformation, their energies are exacerbated, this energy equals passion, intensity, depth and abundance! Since November 2016,  the cycle between Venus and Pluto has proceeded forward as the energy between these two grew, it came to full fruition in August of this year and now we come to a closing sextile aspect between them.

A new cycle between these powerful forces will be activated in early January of 2018, offering us an opportunity to activity plan for the new cycle! What new level of love relationships do you want to reach? Where do you plan to create more beauty and love in your life? What values or morals do you want to strengthen what do you want to ultimately transform your future? Begin now to plan for the future you dream of. This sextile also empowers and extends the cycle between Jupiter and Venus that began last week.

However it is important to remember that not only does Venus/Pluto astrologicaly speaking, is great  for deepening into intimacy with your self and others, it can also have a darker side… so please be mindful and watch out for jealously,  possessiveness,  and the desire to be in control or ultimately give away your power in Love and money situations.

 We are still in the Scorpio New Moon phase!! There is still time to make your manifestation wish list if you haven’t already done so.

Happy Tuesday!

New Moon in Scorpio 18/11/2017.

The New Moon in Scorpio.

What a profoundly intense Scorpio New Moon that occurred exact at 6:43 AM EST on 18/11/17.. New Moons represent a new Lunar cycle and the end of one 28 day lunar cycle. A New Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon are at the same 180 degree of the same sign of the zodiac. This month the New Moon is sitting in the highly emotional fixed water sign of Scorpio, and thus the Sun and Moon are recharging and absorbing in its energy. Traditionally the New Moon is the best time to begin something new, to plant seeds of intention, to make a fresh start, and begin a new plan or project. It’s about manifesting our desires!!!

When the Moon is in Scorpio, it is a time to draw in a focus on the positive traits of this star sign. This means passion, romance, depth, perspective, intense sexual energy, building up or creating in-depth personal relationships, transformation and emotional healing. Scorpio’s are very resourceful, stubborn and very probing… Especially when it is in regards to digging deep and uncovering truths no matter how taboo, dark or hidden they may seem to be. This New Moon cycle is also an opportunity to be creative and commit to personal goals, especially in regards to all the positive traits and energies I have just talk about that represent Scorpio.

The energy of the New Moon in Scorpio will be very sexy.. Focus this New Moon on getting sexy, feeling sensual, being happy in your own skin as well as feeling romantic and passionate. Scorpio’s are NOT afraid of having unguarded moments and embracing its dark side. Work with this is you feel you need a boost in this department. Scorpio’s also teach us that “quality over quantity”  and “dedication” to one meaningful relationship is more significant and more satisfying than spreading ourselves around.

This New lunar cycle will help us focus on empowerment, transformation, death and rebirth, as Scorpio is ruled by Pluto who rules these key areas in life! This New Moon is a time to turn within, to look deep within, to find out what is no longer working for us emotionally, mentally and physically and transmute it for transformation. As you prepare this new beginning at the New Moon, it is a perfect time to release whatever you must in order to make room for deep new personal growth. It is a time to purge, release and let go and make way for wonderful new things to enter your life. It a time to really honor yourself and the journey you have been on this year! This New Moon forms a trine with Chiron and quincunx Uranus! What no better that for activating healing and awakening! This New Moon Consider what you need to leave behind as you plant seeds of intention and planet a seed for profound deep understanding and growth.

As I mentioned, this New Moon in Scorpio is all about ridding yourself of emotional baggage and any old grudges!!! We may want to pinpoint the things in our lives that make us feel out of control, such as addictions, debts, and work on freeing ourselves of these emotional burdens. These lower frequencies and energies are destructive, toxic and plain old nasty! Scorpio energy helps teach us to face up to them for what they are, at face value, to heal and grow. These are just a few things you can incorporate into your New Moon intentions this month.

This month we will find the energy that we need to find inner strength and  to face our Shadows and secrets. We will learn to grow and develop, especially so if you know what house in your birth chart holds 26° Scorpio! This month shine light on the darkness! Find balance between shadow and Light and glow!

This month channel Scorpio’s energy into your New Moon intentions. Don’t neglect your new moon ritual, Here is a link for those who are new to the practice. Keep it simple, take a moment to write down what transformational changes you wish to begin or see within yourself, what you wish create, or increase in the upcoming lunar cycle. The energy will be very strong this weekend and some what overwhelming for some so you can wait and perform your New Moon ritual on Sunday or Monday.

 

 

Happy New Moon in Scorpio!

The Moon is in Scorpio.

Venus in Scorpio trines retrograde Neptune in Pisces.

When you wake up this morning, put aside your diplomacy skills and charm as the Moon enters sassy Scorpio. The Moon in Scorpio is transformative, mysterious and naughty!

If something has been bothering you as of late, today is a good day to work through any emotional issues. Later tonight, the intense Scorpio Moon will  join forces with expansive Jupiter in Scorpio, making for an evening of passion, romance and deep connections.. Date night anyone?

Venus in Scorpio trines retrograde Neptune in Pisces. lovely Venus, who also sits in mysterious Scorpio, will form a harmonious and flowing trine to dreamy and elusive Neptune in Pisces. What a day for unconditional love and passion.This cycle between Neptune and Venus  began in early January of 2017. Can you think back and remember what dreams and outcomes you had for your relationships/partnerships at that time? The Moon in Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces, we have so much water energy floating around the Universe today don’t be surprised if you have very strong emotions ATM, your dreams intensify and the depth and connection in your partnerships magnify!

Tuesday November 14th, 2017.

The Moon is in Libra.

Venus in Scorpio sesquiquadrates retrograde Chiron in Pisces.

The Moon spends her day in charming, harmonious and refined Libra throughout the day. What no better atmosphere than when you long for time with friends, loving relationships, as well as being social and light-hearted. We will find that today we are seeking out a just and fair balance of energy between our self and others. Seeking the beauty in our surroundings and focused on love and all things related to relationships! However, its important to remember to not to allow yourself to be pulled in a direction that is not right for you and if you find it difficult to make a decision today, just be still and think what actions best serve your highest good. Libra is a very indecisive sign and hates making rash, quick decisions.

 

This afternoon Venus in Scorpio sesquiquadrates retrograde Chiron in Pisces. This minor challenging aspect will cause some tension between the planet of love and beauty and the Wounded healer. We may be asked today to stop and ask yourself how do you really feel? Stock take your emotions and really feel whatever comes up for you. If you can work with this energy wisely, heart healing is possible. If you resist those things that surface for you today, you can have a very hard time letting go of those emotions, fears and energies that no longer serve a purpose in your life. Its time to release old patterns , intimacy blocks and old wounds that trigger pain!

Happy Tuesday!

The Sun in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces.

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!
