The week ahead

Well this week we see the magic of the waxing crescent moon transform into the beginning of the New Moon cycle that occurs on Friday, May 6th, 2016.

May 6, 2016   3:29 PM Sun Conjunct Moon (New Moon)

The Aries New Moon cycle we have just been in ends and the New Moon in Taurus cycle begins.

The New Moon in Taurus

The energies of this earth sign is the mighty Bull!, It’s time to enjoy life’s simple and physical pleasures, this New Moon is great time to commit to personal goals, try to tap into the beautiful grounding energies of this star signs and not pulled down by their negative!

Enjoy activities that bring you in touch with nature and with you bodies. Taurus is about security, safety, ambitions, sensual and practical. The have a great eye for beauty, and a mastermind with finances. With this New Moon approaching its time to become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure. Work at it, wish and put the intentions out there on what your true heart desires.

Mercury transits the sun (crosses in front of the sun, as seen from Earth) on May 9, for the first time since 2006

With Mercury in retrograde and with the New Moon approaching Taurus, this is a good cycle under which to re-evaluate our relationship to possessions and money, and to discover what truly makes us happy and fulfilled.

Jupiter pops out first thing at dusk. It’s the brightest star like object in May and lights up the nighttime until the wee hours of the morning.

 

 

Lets Start at the beginning of the week

Monday 1st May , the moon is in Pisces connecting ( T-square configuration) with Neptune, Jupiter and Saturn. As we know Pisces is a creative, artistic a dreamer..  but it can also leave your thoughts chaotic and a little of not knowing whats going on this is  due to Mercury in retrograde. The configuration of these planets, we may be feeling a little chaotic , emotional unbalanced, with internal and external conflicts. We will feel to a degree, instability and undecidable with our goals and what next step to take. A positive aspect is our usual intuition and judgment is enhanced under this influence, and we can use this to help ground ourselves when thinking, dealing and seeing in matters with fresh new perspective that works in our advantage. finding beauty in the differences.

Tuesday –

The Sun trine is in a positive aspect with Jupiter and Virgo  This influence is about growth and expansiveness. These planets are about earth and stability and practical matters. We are more aware of moral issues, and have a desire to improve and learn. Optimism and confidence are basic elements in the energy of this transit. We are more willing to take a risk or two, and we are motivated by a desire to impress others. Enthusiasm runs high, and cooperation comes easy. This is generally a good time to schedule new beginnings in business, education, personal relationships, marriage, creative projects, and so forth, all things equal.

Although Taurus energy  can be easy-going and respectful, its energy  can also be unbelievably stubborn, self-indulgent and inflexible in their approach. So if you find this week that if logic and logical conversations don’t seem to be getting across to some you will know its the stubbornness of the Taurus energy, so just breath , smile and know  that some might refuse to listen! common sense sometimes isn’t so common.

When Wednesday/Thursday   approaches, this is a special day as the Sun is in Taurus; Mercury is in Taurus; Venus is in Taurus; Mars is in Sagittarius. WOW what a mouthful, and kinda unnerving, this whole week is a build of energy for something big to be released… A cosmic storm!!!

Friday we see the New Moon. The last New Moon in Scorpio was a little intense with that Scorpio energy, now the New Moon is in the sign of Taurus  we will see on that day the Moon will make several aspects , aspects with Venus, Neptune, Jupiter, pluto and Mercury . Be prepared it will be a very busy new moon, and new moons are always about new beginnings  and with this potent Taurus energy  it’s all about practicality nature, security oriented nature dealing with money , values , resources, material level, projects or careers.

Saturday  and Sunday we will see a very busy build up of positive earth signs. that will include – Pluto,Jupiter, Capricorn and Virgo. This build up of energy is a good change, we will see positive results once mercury and jupiter get out of retrograde and go direct!! The  Sun in Taurus is trine with pluto , jupiter and Capricorn, so this results in a Grand Trine. The Sun is making a grand trine with all the earth signs, the Sun in Taurus  is aligning and connecting positively with jupiter and the earth sign of virgo,  The Sun is also  in a positive aspect with the earth sign of capricorn. The grand build up is transforming a powerful energy, that will be interesting to see unfold over the next few weeks.

So lets not forget to mention Mercury

Have you noticed its effects? i sure have.. Sigh

Mercury is in retrograde, and as the planet of communication, when it is in retrograde  communication can be misinterpreted ,confusing and lead to an uncertain level of communication confusion! EEK so while we are in this period its best to remember that mercury rules our lower minds and how we perceive information, interpret information and communication,  from ourselves, others and our surrounding environment. So pay close attention to what you say and communicate in general.

Mercury also has ruler-ship in other areas of our worlds such as buying and selling, travel, signing formal contracts, speaking,  negotiating,  listening and  documents, so try to avoid any large purchases, booking holidays, signing new business deals and contracts, negotiating new jobs or pay rises as all of these areas of life can affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state.

Good old Mercury is here to help us make important changes in our lives, he helps us to  reorganise and reflect.This period is  great at  looking  at the world, situations, ourselves a little differently,  with rose-coloured glasses or through different filters, and most importantly Mercury helps us  come up with some very important inner revelations

So this Week

You have the chance to make important changes in your lives.

Self reflect – is it time to make some solid yet realistic plans?

Sit down, really reflect on what you want to change or bring into your life, write your New Moon intentions

Be proactive and  set the stage for reaping the rewards from your new beginnings, as little or big as they may be.

Meditate and focus on your third eye, root and solar plexus Chakra

Purification and cleansing this week is the theme, with mercury being in retrograde. Use this time as a Cleanse period and rid the path of most resistance…

Law of attraction will be put into practice this week, testing our new boundaries, Ask for assistance this week from someone who is more in tune with  the divine , universe, a guru etc.. if you feel like you are in a rut, help is coming, just wait it’s on it way ,  talk to your guides, angles the  big man in the sky and take the life raft if one is offered to you.emotional cleansing will lead to liberation for the soul, and  will help ground you this week with all the cosmic chaos going on.

Clean away old patterns, energies that you  rid to get rid of before and didn’t work, cos now with the planetary alignments and the New Moon it is the time to really clean and cleanse out ourself for our souls, its time for you to get  rid of what has been holding you back

Honour your self

You gotta be in charge this week.

Daily Grind 5/5/16

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

The Moon on Thursday, May 5th, from 12:18 AM EDT, is the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (along with  conjunction to Uranus), until the Moon enters Taurus at 1:11 PM EDT.

     Today  Planetary Stations & Sign

Apr  5, 2016    12:50 PM           Venus enters Aries
Apr  5, 2016     7:09 PM      Mercury enters Taurus

 BALSAMIC MOON INTO TAURUS

As this lunar cycle is ending,  it is a  really great time to let go and move on. It’s also a time for rest and a time to heal. Change is inevitable……energy is always in motion….the wheel of Destiny is always spinning…..be open to the next step! Use the energy of the New Moon approaching to help guide , heal and set positive intentions.

Fun fact for today ~ Jupiter pops out first thing at dusk. It’s the brightest star like object in May and lights up the nighttime until the wee hours of the morning.

Once again, with all this planetary action happening this week ( if you haven’t read my Week Ahead berg click here )  this is a brilliant time to put a stop to any habits that are not good for you. Before you fall into despair over how to survive these astrological and astronomical shenanigans, just  remember that all of these events are simply a call for awareness,lessons,  healing, reevaluation and transmutation .

We are already feeling unbalanced from the turbulent  energy of Mercury Retrograde, and perhaps some of you may be  struggling with relationships as they relate to communication. If there has been a drama with someone and you want to continue the relationship, this is another wonderful time to release upset.

Add to that Mars Retrograde, the planet of war and sex and we shouldn’t be surprised to see sparks flying between partners.It is also a time to end relationships which are not working for you..  For some, those sparks may mean the beginning of new relationships or the renewal of old ones.

So today

  • Give yourself a break.
  • Daydream.
  • Dream big.
  • Go wild in your imagination.
  • Smile to yourself.
  • Watch how you communicate and interact
  • Release any fears, negativity to the Universe for transmutation
  • Talk to your guides

 

~Today’s Daily Oracle Card~

“Wait” – “Don’t rush into action right now. Bide your time for better results
Wait

Don’t rush into action right now. Bide your time for better results!
If you take action now, you’ll miss a window of opportunity that occurs down the road. So wait! Don’t worry, you will know when the time is right to take action because every cell in your body will scream ‘now!’
You are on the verge of receiving new information or guidance that will alter the course of your plans, leading you in a more positive direction.
By waiting for the moment the outcome will be better.

YOU’RE A LEADER – ST. JOAN OF ARC

“A leader best serves by being an example and role model, so live in such a way that others admire your integrity and strength of character.”

You’ve known this for some time. You are in fact, a wonderful leader of thought, spirit, education, expression, whatever it is your heart now lands on when you read this message.

This is a clear nudge from the angels that you are to step up to the plate…time no more to turn your cheek and look for others to be the ones to make the change so needed in the world.

Think of St. Joan of Arc and her bravery and passion for her message…she is the patron saint of those who are persecuted for their spiritual beliefs and for women in the service.

Channel her divine energy, pray for guidance and clarity, and make a difference starting today. This is a new week, after a new moon, and the Universe is calling upon you now.

~Message of St. Joan of Arc card ~

You´re called upon to use your leadership skills to help an important cause. Through prayer, God, Joan of Arc , and other saints and angels will give you clear guidance as to how to be the best leader. Your Divinely guided actions and words will motivate others into positive work. A leader best serves by being a living example and role model, so live in such a way that others admire your integrity. St.Joan of Arc is an inspiration to anyone who feels called to help. At age 15, the french farm girl had a vision in which she saw lights and heard voices (Saints Michael, Catherine and Margaret, among others) telling her to save France from the English invasion. Joan fallowed her Divine guidance, successfully led the French army to victory, and installed Charles VII as king of France.

 

New Moon Awakening

 New Moon

As the New Moon approaches us have you ever sat and wondered what people are talking about when they mention the “New Moon” and no it’s not a book in the Twilight series I am talking about.

The “New Moon” is the start of the lunar cycle. The new lunar cycle occurs approximately once every 29 days. This is a time when the Moon, Sun and Earth, Moon are roughly positioned in a line, with the Moon sitting between the Earth and the Sun. This is why you can’t see the moon hovering in the night sky. This is often referred to ( and not just by Pink Floyd) as the dark side of the moon.

This “Dark moon” in many cultures such as the Hebrew and Chinese,  represents the start of the calendar month. The first day of the new moon is considered to be the finest day to begin undertaking any new project or task or in many belief systems it is the time to plant a seed of what you want to grow in your life. Making a wish, a promise or to set an intention is a common practice. It is believed that as the moon  grows, that your goal or intention will too …

We are still in that 48 hour time zone where New Moon wishes and intentions can create abundance. Make those wishes count. When you harness the energy with the power of pure intention, the universe is ready to manifest miracles. A great moon mantra to use to raise your  vibrations and create positive mind set  is “I see the New Moon and the New Moon sees me, I wish for abundance to come to me.” and Feel and imagine like what you intend on manifesting or wishes for as already yours..

Remember the Law Of Attraction states you attract what you think and feel. So the question is… Do you believe in magic ?

Ground yourself 10/3/16

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Thursday 10/3/16

So how has every gone writing their New Moon wishes? Top 3 tips when writing and setting your intentions…

  1. Write your wishes and/or intentions down – either on a sheet of paper with a pen, or with coloured pens, pencils and so on. The more energy you invest, the better your results are likely to be.
  2. Read them out to the Universe then either bury or burn your list, or set it aside so you can check it this time next month, to see how your wishes worked out.
  3. THIS IS THE CRUCIAL BIT: Really, really, FEEL how you would/will feel if and when the wishes come true. Hold those feelings.

The veils will continue to thin even further this week and multidimensional reality brought forth. During this phase you will have the subconscious brought to the conscious through your dream and meditative state. Be sure to journal any and all as this will provide “keys” or “glimpse” to your immediate future. How exciting..

Don’t forget to open up and look for synchronicities, this is a very exciting week so expect more abundance in your life and blessings to come your way out of the blue!

Today’s Angel Oracle card is..

Grounding..

Well this card has popped up the most perfect time…

This card is a signal that your energy and attention need to be grounded. If you’ve been feeling spacey, confused, or forgetful ( who can blame one, with all this crazy New Moon, solar eclipse energy buzzing around) this card speaks to the reason. “Ungroundedness” means that your attention is directed up too high, as if you’re not in your body.

A balance is needed between a focus on spirit and a focus on Earth. You can ground yourself by walking barefoot on grass or soil, by eating foods from the ground like potatoes or carrots, by rubbing your bare feet, by touching a tree or plant, or by visualizing roots coming from the bottom of your feet into the earth. Grounding will help you to better concentrate and focus, and will also increase your connections to the angels.

So today try and..

  • Spend time gardening
  • Work with flower essences •
  • Adjust your diet and other lifestyle habits so that they support your mental and physical awareness
  • Make sure the words you speak or write are practical, grounded, and understandable
  • Be down-to-earth and authentic in your relationships
  • Send love and light to Mother Earth.

This New Super Moon in Pisces has and will create confusion, and mixed energies in many sectors of your world. This strong new moon solar energy brings with it strong opinions, creative ideas, lots of day dreaming, emotional healing and mystical events, it is important during this time that yes we can float away with out imagination and get lost in dreams but we must still stay grounded.

There are two powerful ways to get grounded. One way is to do a tree meditation.  First, stand up, or sit up straight and tall.  Make believe that you are a tree or visualize that you have branches that extend out of your body way up into the sky as high as you can imagine.  Next, imagine that you have roots wrapped around your legs that are buried deep, deep within the core of the earth, wrapping around your ankles cementing and anchoring you deep. Another  way to feel grounded instantly is to hold a large, smooth rock in both hands or crystals with grounding energy and vibrations.  You are now grounded and energetically connected to the earth and the Universe.

Super New Moon in Pisces 2016

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

 

Happy New Moon day!

Well this New Moon in Pisces on March 8-9 is not only a Super Moon, meaning it is closest to Earth and so has a stronger effect on the tides and our bodies and emotions, This New Moon is also  first of four eclipses this year…Tonight and tomorrow see’s the  first of three Super Moons in a row, this New Moon eclipse also happens with the Moon at perigee ( the moons closest point to earth in its orbit),  which intensifies its impact on tides, tectonic plates and human beings. Tonight’s  Moon  see’s this Super New Moon in the archetypal waters of Pisces, Ah Pisces the sign of the dreamer, the mystic the artist. During this period we are asked to step into our dream time to reflect, to feel it all, to cleanse it all and draw forth from the collective unconscious and find a new dream that wants to be birthed.

During this solar eclipse prepare yourself to navigate yourself through the energies of the New Super moon in Pisces, as it is the most emotional moon if the year . This eclipse illuminates the hidden light within, and we have to face the reality of who we really are.This solar eclipse will give you the power to dissolve thoughts, ideas and beliefs that are holding you back.

The essence of Pisces is the element- water, water delves into our emotional realm, Pisces connects us with the energy of feminine compassionate, we get a stronger connection to our intuition , we dedicate ourselves to Selfless Service, Unite with the Divine, Dreaming the undreamable and making it a reality and bringing out our Creative side. An important gift of the Pisces sign is our creative imagination, our ability to listen through our imagination to the Earth as well as to other beings.

Because of all the mystical energy around when the Pisces energy is so strong, it’s a wonderful time to work on your intuitive skills. As you align with the energy radiating from the Universe, you attune yourself with high frequency vibrations and this greatly accelerates your spiritual growth. Sit quietly and ask the universe.. What message do you have for me?  it may come to you then, or hours later. It can come as a direct message, a thought a repetitive feeling, watch out for the synchronicities  the universe is giving you, truly open yourself to receiving the gifts of the divine, what thought or idea has been popping into your mind lately???  Gracelessly accept all the divine intervention you get with gratitude.

During an eclipse, the fundamental laws of the universe no longer apply. At the solar eclipse, something is trying to get your attention. So give the reins over to the universe, stop trying to control the outcome of your life and just go with the flow of this Pisces energy. It’s a time for new beginnings, and for us to expect the unexpected. All we need to do is set our intention sit back surrender and enjoy the ride. This is a great time to do activities that heighten our intuition so get that yoga mat out, go out and re connect with nature and meditate, charge those crystals and play around with your tarot deck.

Pisces New Moon energy encourages you to dream and envision a peaceful compassionate world. There is the potential for profound healing for you, send healing energy to the world and anything you feel needs healing and uplifting in your world. If things have been tough recently, ask/pray for some help from the divine source and then let the Magic happen. This total solar eclipse will enable us to see the shadow parts of our personality, giving us the courage to see life and accept reality exactly as it is, allowing too see all the blessings! Let the darkness of the New Moon and eclipse shine light on the shadows parts of your soul and personality., allowing you to see the unconscious destructive behaviours that stop us from shining bright.

As the Sun and Moon align with the Earth ,it opens a powerful cosmic portal to release what is not working and step into who you truly are. Remember as one door closes another one opens, this is the time to truly let go of what has been holding you back, any fear based energy, old attachments, negative thoughts and feelings about yourself and others so that the new life energy that’s been gestating within can begin to grow.

Pisces says that life’s too short and there’s important non-work to do. “Each day listen to your desires and follow them exclusively. That’s the wisdom of flow. Let your imagination run free. Business can take care of itself.

New Moons are always about New Beginnings and taking action steps towards your dreams, and well we all know how much Pisces love to dream, you will experience , if you have not already leading up to this New Moon vivid, crazy and very trippy dreams. Pisces represents our unconscious, subconscious mind, emotional nature, and inherited emotional patterns that keep us prisoner within our own psyche & life and this is highlighted in your dreams, your day dreams and repetitive thoughts and crazy notions you may of been experiencing over the past week and will continue to experience over the next two weeks until we get to the Full moon and Lunar eclipse on March 23rd , 2016. The wishes you make under this New moon  now may indeed be super-powered, New  Moons are potent times, especially if you want to visit the invisible world , forge  alliances with the gods,

The solar eclipse, will use the energy of the  the Moon which is intuition, wordless and irrational to  overpower your creative center and power which is the the Sun.so  make a note of your hunches or your premonitions  today and see what transpires. Play around with tarot or Angel cards, try and guess who is calling before you pick up, tap into the mystical energies that are flowing, have fun, relax and take it all as it comes.

If during this period people from the past or the present appear on the scene, and to behave in inexplicable ways, don’t resist them just understand the cosmic influences this Super New Moon has , and can affect people differently. Some things have surfaced to let you know that it may not be healed like you thought, or a situation or relationship has not quiet taught you what you needed to learn , use the healing energy of Pisces and the New Moon to bring forth change and new beginnings.  Some people may be withdrawn and lethargic and some may be energised and over the top, just ride the magical Pisces wave and have a little giggle and let it go.

“As the Ocean tides ebb and flow, the inner rhythms of your feelings move in harmony to this flow. Spiritual Waters nourish the parts within that are dry, empty or are withering away”

So enjoy this Combined potency of the New Moon in Pisces and the Total Solar Eclipse. Embrace the super-energized ultra sensitivity being experienced during this time. ts potential, super charged new beginnings with clarity, conscious awareness, It is important to be in touch with feelings, Spirituality, peace and  compassion Surrender is a big theme.

MOON IN ARIES: The TOP 3 things you need to know about today’s cosmic weather:
1. It’s a good time to start again if you need to. This is because, as mentioned yesterday, the Moon is at the start of the zodiac in the sign of Aries. Begin again!
2. The Moon is in the Crescent Phase, which means it’s the time for us to move forwards with courage and faith. See here for a key to the Moon phases.
3. The Archangel Ariel is the angel associated with the Moon today. If you experience some clashes and need help, go outdoors (preferably) and ask Ariel for help

Today’s Oracle Card

~Pray~

We are being asked to pay special attention as to what we are praying for right now. Where do your thoughts spend their time? Where do they go when you are having a “bad” day compared to a “good” day? Do you keep an open dialogue with your angels and guides, the archangels, faery, Source, the Universe, the ascended masters… whoever resonates with you… asking for assistance for yourself and those you love?

The angels bring this card to you because you’ve been trying to fix this situation single-handedly. They’d love to help you and answer your prayers, but first you need to surrender and release the situation, and you can d this by simple praying, you don’t have to be formal or worry about how and what you say as long as you are talking from an open heart.

It means emotionally letting go, with faith that the Divine wisdom of Spirit (which includes your higher self) can do a better job. If you need help with any situation whether its regarding your life purpose or a situation you need guidance on , pray and  ask the angels to assist you.

Don’t worry about how your prayer will be answered. Let God figure out the details , be open to a response appearing different from what you expected

Be willing to ask for help
