Are you suffering symptoms of Mercury Retrograde?

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.

Going with the flow! Mercury enters Capricorn! 10/01/2018!

The Moon is in Scorpio.

Mercury moves into Capricorn

The Scorpio Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to  Neptune.

The Moon is in Scorpio again today, and it asks us to delve emotionally deep into our self and our connection to others. Today, don’t be surprised if you find yourself inclined to search for hidden layers of situations and by others around you. As we can attempt to understand on a deeper level, we are also fascinated by what drives others, we are also drawn to experiences that evoke these curiosities, all that is secret and taboo.

Mercury moves into Capricorn today where it will remain until January 31st. Mercury rules over the element of communication, our thought structure, travel, official documentation and technology. Mercury in Capricorn is all about producing information, not as much as absorbing it! The mood and the way we think is serous, much along the lines of is this practical? Is this worth the time? Is this beneficial? Do you have the time and money to commit? Communication and the way we think will become very serious, Capricorn cuts out the wishy-washy and gets down to business. Mercury in Capricorn is great for being focused, grounded, overly cautious, traditional, rigid in our thinking and practical. It will also allow us to master the way we think and speak to others. Its shifting from being in spontaneous Sagittarius to earthy Capricorn, from free-spirited to the physical body.

However, the shadow side of Mercury in Capricorn is we become to serious, over-cautious and shut off from the magic that is  hidden in plain sight, around us all the time! Allow yourself to have a mental/ physical tune up and get practical, but also don’t forget to let your hair down and see the small blessings as they come.

Following the intensity of Monday and Tuesday, today offers us a day to rest and allows us to get lost in our daydreams and reflect. As this sassy Scorpio Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to dreamy, sensitive Neptune. What a perfect day to take some time for yourself, to meditate, to get lost in a book, a movie or listen to music whilst watching the clouds pass by. Engage today, in whatever activity brings you to a place of ‘flow” and brings you closer to your true self. Today we will have more compassion for others, we can experience heightened intuition and fascinated by the mystical arts.

Happy Hump Day!

20/6/2017 Its Tuesday its time to Love, Dream and Play.

Tuesday, June 20th, 2017.

Venus in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces.

Mercury is in Gemini  sextiles Uranus in Aires.

The Moon is in Taurus.

This week really is the luckiest week for love and romance all year, its unreliable with all the planetary interactions how blessed in the love department we are! So those of you who are hesitant in making a leap of love and faith do so!

Neptune is the dreamy planet of aspirations in the cosmos. Its rules Pisces and when it sits in Pisces its in heaven, its home and is comfortable. Venus and Neptune together expands the  dreaming of love and the love of romance and when they to come together anything is possible.

Mercury is in Gemini , also a major personality planet sitting in its ruling sign and it sextiles Uranus in Aires. This gives us a very strong desire to communicate. Mercury/Uranus aspect is great for thinking outside the box, being innovative, and seeing/communicating information that is before it’s time! However just be mindful on the content you desire to communicate out, watch your thoughts as they turn into words whether its positive, negative and vice versa when dealing with others. Ignore the negativity.

Today keep your ears and eyes open for any unusual ideas, thoughts or flashes of inspiration. Today is a good day to go ahead and jump at any opportunity to expand the directions of your mind.

The Moon is Taurus today .Wow not only is the emotional Moon in sensual Taurus, but the planet Love is also in Taurus all coming together. That makes today the ideal day for love, romance and all thing smoochy.
The Taurus Moon would also love nothing more than to be laid-back, alone and pushing us to over indulge our naughty senses,  food,wine and over spending money watch out for binge eating and online shopping . However that Venus and Neptune sextile is softly pushing us to make romantic connections. The key word is softly, so no  running head first in with flowers in hand begging for a date or falling completely head over heals and being silly. Neptune has a great gift at making things seem a lot greater than they are.

If you are single today will be the day that people will be responding to you, go on that date, ask that girl out at the coffee shop today, and say yes if someone brings you flowers and ask you out, take a leap of faith the universe has your back today. For the those who are in a relationship spend some quality time together, it’s not the amount of time its the quality of time because it really is about love and romance connection at its best.

Remember, this is the last day with the Sun and Mercury will be in versatile Gemini, enjoy the chatter and the quickly moving mind.  Both bodies will enter amazing Cancer early into the day tomorrow and then meet in the sign later morning. ( if you can’t tell me and my sister are a Moon childs and its my birthday week).

 

Have a great day!

Full Moon in Scorpio 2017.

On the 10th May , 2017 we will experience a Full Moon in the sign of Scorpio. The Full Moon as we Know happens once a month. It’s when the Sun and Moon are both at 180o apart and the Sun fully illuminates the Moon with its light. The Moon is at a completion point and reflects the light and showers its energy on us. The Full Moon always has an effect on us no matter who you are.

The Sun will be in Taurus and the Moon will be in Scorpio.

The Sun in Taurus will be at 20 degrees. Taurus is a very practical, earthy grounded sign. In numerology 20 breaks down to 2 and the number 2 is all about relationships and love! The Sun is experiencing this energetically along with all the other Taurus energy which also happens to be about love,relationships, practicality, finances and appearances. So this Taurus energy is also being thrown onto the Moon.

The Moon is sitting in the sign of Scorpio, which is also sitting at 20 degrees. The Moon will shower down on us Scorpio energy. Scorpio is a water sign, its intuitive, creative and emotionally intelligent. Scorpio is not afraid of exploring the dark side, its ruled by Pluto who is about transformation. Scorpio loves going were no other star sign dares to go. It holds extremely powerful and potent energy. It’s willing to look deeper, look at the taboo side of life its other favorable aspect is being able to look at the wounded self in order for healing and transformation to occur. We will be facing and confronting some fears during this Full Moon. Scorpio energy is all about transformation and reaching higher levels of consciousness. So we must awaken, open up our eyes and soul.

As I have mentioned this Full Moon is at 20 degrees and, the number 2 is all about relationships, and deepening and strengthening the connection, for all my single friends out there this is a good time to date and meet new people, use the full moon energy and meet new people, have a drink with the stranger at the bar, Scorpio energy is very intelligent so you will pick up who and who not to give your time to.

Scorpio energy is very much sexual, so for instance you and your partner who once were intimate very regular when you met and have now things have decreased, and well you may not of had the courage to bring this up and talk about it. Use the Scorpio energy to help bring any and all issue to surface. This Full Moon will support and help you and others with your emotionally understanding and help you both to have acceptance to what you are saying without the judgement. You will become open-minded and listen. So make the time, make an effort, wine and dine each other and bring out your inner god or goddess.

This Full Moon in Scorpio you will be feeling an intense emotional energy, you may feel you understand people for the better , life may click, emotionally reasoning will just make sense a lot of Ah Ha moments. Scorpio is very intense emotionally , it very deep and connected. This Full Moon if you and your partner whether its personal or business have been burying an issue deep, this Full Moon is the best time to sit down and talk about it,  clear the air.

This Full Moon is going to represent a turning point in the year for most of us and an opportunity to really embrace and accept any recent changes ( yes changes as much as we dig our heals in if its unwanted). See the failures or mishaps as a blessing, accept that there is a bigger plan and just breath and go with the flow. It going to bring about a powerful transformative shift that will really allow you to move forward.

Fun fact, many ancient cultures and astrologers have always believed that the Scorpio Full Moon is one of the most powerful for reaching out to guardian spirits and ancient ancestors. The high illuminated Scorpio energy has the potential to reach Divine levels of consciousness, so allow yourself to open up reach a new level and see things and the world  in a different light. Meditate under the light of the Moon, re charge your crystals, and with so much magic energy circling around what no better time to create your own Moon ritual and manifest your dreams.

Happy Full Moon!

The Energy is Shifting! 09/05/17 Daily Grind.

Tuesday May 9th, 2017.

The Sun  in Taurus.

The Sun trines Pluto in Capricorn.

Mercury and Uranus both in Aires.

The Moon enters Scorpio.

Today is one of those days a major shift happens as I mentioned yesterday. Universally it will begin to happen and fast.

The Moon moves into Scorpio this morning. Now yesterday we had the Moon in harmonious, social, chatty, relationship focused and balanced Libra, and now we see the Moon enter sassy Scorpio who thrives on uncovering mysteries. Scorpio loves delving deep into places we have hidden within our self , its  truthful, sensual and brings your emotions to a deep dive into intensity and passion.

Today we also have Mercury in Aires still coming out of its retrograde shadow period and it’s still conjunting Uranus in Aires ( if you missed out have a read of yesterdays post). It’s a total shift from Monday were we where sociable and positive, we now are very self focused and questioning” What about my feelings” “Why aren’t my needs been met” ” What about my ideas” , Why isn’t anybody listening to me!

Today be aware there is potential for frustration and burst of annoyance, in all areas of your life, work, love, friends, people who are giving you a service. Monday you seen yourself as a part of something larger working along with others and today well its all about ME, ME ME ME..

The Sun is in earthy stubborn Taurus. The Sun than forms a trine with Pluto in Capricorn. With the Sun and Pluto tangoing in the sky, it helps us align our ego with our conscious self, it also brings along the issues of power and empowerment to the dance floor. Its energy will be a spotlight shining front and center! For both the good and potentially the bad, depends on how you look at life.. is it  a lesson or a blessing. However this is a great chance for us to use this power for transformation and empowerment.

Today can be a powerful time for insights, what issues have you been struggling to come to a conclusion with? We have a lot of earth signs in the chart today, so emotional confusion will not be in the mix.  This can be a time of mental breakthroughs, creative envisioning, innovative thinking, and you may find our interest will be on the material world, our finances, career, improving our health and vitality!

Good luck and just remember to breath and smile tomorrow is a new day!

23/03/2017 Daily Grind

Thursday March 23rd,2017.

The Sun is in Aires.

The Moon is in Aquarius.

Mercury forms a square to Pluto today and is nearing an opposition to Jupiter, creating a T-square configuration.

 

The energy changes up today as the Moon will be in Aquarius ,then the Moon sextiles Venus in Aires and the Sun in Aires. There is great potential today for inspiration in terms of your ideas or a technological discovery! So if you are an academic, a scientist or an inventor today is your day to make a break through! Today is an excellent for deep study or to work on a powerful speech or other significant writing project.

Mercury in Aires forms a square to Pluto today and is nearing an opposition to Jupiter, creating a T-square configuration, this can lead to a shake up and wake up of energies, especially in regards to our communications, ideas and information coming in. We can be very expressive and subjective… however just watch out, as we might too easily jump to conclusions, get heated and over react and please remember to be aware of your words, emails, and all communications.. Today give yourself some extra breathing room, get creative, think freely and be ready to explore!

Happy Thursday!

Wednesday February 22nd, 2017.

Mars in Aires will square the Moon and Pluto in Capricorn.

Mars in Aires will square the Moon and Pluto in Capricorn today! What a special day it is, as this only happens once every two years and when it does it will happen twice in that year. So we will see this happen again on 19th November. This is an interesting day as there will be a huge drive to make big changes… However you must resist the urge to make these changes as it can cause you some problems later on down the track. Today will leave us feeling extreme, the energy is over the top and too much of a good thing, you will get very strong urges to make massive changes immediately , But you must hold back and think things out before you rush in. It’s very much EGO energy, it pushes and drives you to rush into things and then a week later you regret it and look at it and think ” what have I done” .

Today some may feel an internal power struggle as our desires are intense and difficult to satisfy.

Today is a potentially tense day! However, this can also be a time for formulating new plans and strategies once we’re calm enough to do so. But for now don’t react on intense emotions and if conflict arises stay calm, walk away  , practice the art of staying cool even if provoked by someone very irritating!

Have a great day.

Wednesday 8th February, 2017.

The Moon is in Cancer.

The Moon forms a  T-square with Jupiter, Pluto, and Uranus.

The Moon is still in its home sign of beautiful Cancer. The Cancer Moon opposes Pluto in Capricorn, it than squares Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aires, so again we have a lot of energy with a lot of planets interacting today.

Today you will find emotional strength and have the ability to overcome challenges. So any problems that felt so big on Monday and Tuesday that you thought were too large to overcome,  will start to shrink! They become the right size and you will see them for what they truly are and you will gain a proper perspective. Today with this semi grand square in our skies you will find it easier to commit to working through difficult these problems now. Tap into your  inner master and genies and put it to work to problem solve.

Again you will succeed the most today if you can connect with other people. So whatever you are doing today include others… Whether its your job, at the gym at home , or just simply having conversations with others, if you have the chance to include others and bring them along do so, brainstorm with others, get support and you will utilizing these energies at their highest peak.

The Moon  T-square with Jupiter, Pluto, and Uranus we are left with much focus and attention to our relationships, careers, and personal plans. The Cancer Moon pushes us to consider our emotional needs, it is also very nurturing and is sensitive and dedicated to loved ones. Take some time and dedicate yourself to whom you call family, you may find you take extra steps to be safe and comfortable today.

Happy Wednesday.

Monday January 30th, 2017

The Moon is ion Pisces.

The Moon is in Pisces conjunts Neptune in Pisces, sextiles Pluto and Mercury in Capricorn.

The Moon is in Pisces and it conjunts Neptune in Pisces and sextiles Pluto and Mercury in Capricorn . This means for us its an intense day of balance between our emotional side and our physical practical side. Today if you really feel or sense something that you are thinking about, than it will immediately make sense and will be easily put into action. Today there will be no doubt or distance to what you are feeling and the practical matters needed to make it happen. What you feel will match how you think today it is one and the same. However with the Moon in dreamy Pisces all day, and we are inclined to daydream just watch out you don’t stray too much from routine today but with the  Moon’s cooperation with Mercury and Pluto today  we will gain that clarity and concentration.

When the Moon is in  Pisces we can find ourselves becoming compassionate, spiritually aware, perceptive, adaptable and also a little sensitive. So today wander off into day-dream land and dream of what you want from your life but do be some what practical in the things you wish to manifest – we are still in a New Moon phase of manifestation so dream big and write your New Moon wishes if you haven’t yet so done it.. Tap into the New Moon energy!

Have a great day

Monday 23rd January, 2017.

The Moon in Sagittarius.

Moons squares with Venus, Neptune and Chiron in Pisces.

Mars is in Pisces.

The Moon is in Sagittarius today. This Sagittarius Moons forms a lot of square with major planets. It squares Neptune , Venus and Chiron and they  all happen to be in the sign of  Pisces.

With the Moon in Sagittarius all day,  we require less prompting and encouraging  to get moving and to experience life. Anything that breaks the routine and maybe the rules is appealing now. A change of scenery may be in order. Try something new today either a new place for lunch or order a new coffee,try a new activity or dream big and look for a new holiday.

Today you will have a strong desire to push away or retreat from your feelings. You will have this rebellious streak to do things against the grain, and in spite of how you actually feel , you will contradict yourself especially in how you really feel. This results in you making yourself very awkward in terms of how you feel and overall how you want to get rid of them.  It has the feeling of ” Out of sight, Out of mind” .

Mars is in Pisces and this combination can be the meeting of our spiritual self and our  warrior self. With Neptune, Chiron and Venus also in Pisces expect to have some serious spiritual downloads. Downloads about truths, our relationships, and the path to compromise and collaboration are incoming in, so open up! Allow these synchronicities, messages, repetitive numbers, words conversations.We just need to have the ears to hear and our eyes to see those  important insights and messages.

The shadow side of Mars, we can be fiery and feisty, and over react to situations that normally would not bother us. It also has the potential to bring up stuff or issues in relationships, business partnerships , prior commitments and more. The key today is to be discerning in our connections in our lives and try see things clearly from all points of views

Happy Monday and have a great day
