Mercury stations retrograde at 29’38 Pisces

 The Sun in Pisces semisquares Uranus in Aries.

The Moon is in Pisces.

Mercury, the plant the rules over communication, thinking , plans , travel and pretty much the mental realm and our thought process stations retrograde at 29’38 Pisces. Mercury will remain retrograde until March 28, a wonderful tool during this time is to see where in your natal chart you hold Pisces to better understand the area of your life that requires revisiting  or revising of your thoughts, actions and attention. Key words for any Mercury Retrograde reassess, Re – think, Rest, Reflect, Re – discover, Revise and Re – view, Re- do,  Renew, Reset. Something during this transition in your life needs to be re adjusted or considered from a new different perspective. Mercury retrograde as much as everyone freezes up with the mention of it, is here to remind us as well as push us to look and consider more deeply those things we have breezed over or agreed to without proper attention.

Mercury retrograde in the sign of Pisces means that there is potential for us to we might get our wires crossed, especially when communication is in play. With all this confusion around our thoughts, ideas and communication it can be very hard for us to just stop and focus on the cold hard facts. Be clever and re work the way you talk with others, converse with others over technology or in written form and bring about your best negotiating skills. This is not a time to start something new up, or sign a contract, book travel plans or buy a home for example.. unless you really need to. Dot the i and cross your t’s. It’s better to keep things and life simple over the next few weeks. The Moon in Pisces today will help you go with the flow today and help you understand the detachment and spaciousness that will be required over the coming weeks.

The Sun in Pisces semisquares Uranus in Aries. This has the potential to create tension  between our conscious self and the great rebel and revolutionary. The Sun in Pisces looks for peace, it wants us to retreat, however Uranus loves to “Stir the Pot”  Don’t be surprised if sudden and unexpected events, thoughts or revelations happen today.

As much as possible, rest, retreat, and try to find inspiration and offer inspiration to others during this Mercury Retrograde.

Have a great day!

Mercury Enters Sagittarius 12/12/18.

Mercury Enters Sagittarius.

Mercury the communication planet leaves the depth of Scorpio behind to enter into Sagittarius. Mercury teaches us how to think and what to think about. The energy now will be shifting from shining the light within to getting on your bike and cursing along. Sagittarius is all about looking at the horizon and it doesn’t particularly do very well with the details of the here and now. Mercury rules over our thought process, our communication, travel, documentation, ideas and our general mental realm. It teaches us through words, thoughts, and conversations. So make sure you dot the I and cross the T. Remember to pay attention to what’s in front of you, own your responsibilities instead of running away. Don’t always believe the grass is greener on the other side

Mercury will remain in this free-thinking sign until January 4th, 2019. Over the next few weeks expect your attitude, communication, thinking and ideas to expand with optimism and excitement. Your thoughts will not be dull and your senses and drive for adventure and travel will expand. perhaps you may want to learn something new or engage in broadening your philosophical wisdom

This conscious shift from water to fire energy will have your mind expanding to new great heights, our thoughts have no boundaries. It’s a great time to plan and book a holiday. When Mercury is in Sagittarius we tend to have tactless humor, impatience and boisterous opinions. With this said, and with our new-found boldness we perhaps should watch how we converse with others, keep in check our attitude towards others and always take in account what others are trying to tell you.

“A fool is made more of a fool, when their mouth is more open than their mind”

Venus in Libra sesquiquadrates retrograde Neptune in Pisces.

The Moon enters Virgo.

Retrograde Venus in Libra semisquares Jupiter in Scorpio.

When you awake up this morning you will find yourself in a very different emotional environment. Retrograde Venus in Libra sesquiquadrates retrograde Neptune in Pisces. This may spark some friction and tension between our higher and our lower  heart. This is due to the fact that both  Libra and Pisces gravitate towards focusing on others and are very self-sacrificing when it comes to love.So the lesson we should take from this is… being able to put healthy boundaries when it comes to any relationship. There is no martyr or victim to be played out today! You will be able to pin point more clearly where you may need to forgive or retreat and where you may be in denial with the Moon entering into organised and diligent Virgo today.

As the Moon enters into this  productive and the precise sign of Virgo prepare for a weekend that involves a practical and very organised approach. Spend today creating constructive plans for the upcoming weekend, plan to have your grocery shopping, laundry and  house cleaning done early so you make the most of the weekend ahead.  Also remember the shadow side of Virgo, and don’t allow perfectionism and criticism to stop your progress. With spring here in Australia what a better time to work on projects especially health issues that you will benefit from coming into summer, this also includes doing a big spring clean and donating your items to charity! Virgo is all about service to others after all!

Retrograde Venus in Libra semisquares Jupiter in Scorpio. Another position that may cause friction between the two parts of you that just want to have fun and enjoy life. Venus along with Jupiter both crave and enjoy being social and having fun but they can both tend to overdo it, especially overspend, overshare and overeat, balance is key for this weekend!

Have a great weekend!

The Moon is in Sagittarius

The Moon in Sagittarius forms a challenging aspect to both Venus and Neptune.

The Sun in Leo sesquiquadrates retrograde Neptune in Pisces.

There may be a sense of listlessness in the air when you awake this morning. You’d like to pull the covers over your head and resist facing the day at all.

The Moon is in Sagittarius which normally keeps us feeling upbeat, adventurous, open and ready to learn and experience new ideas and directions. However, the Moon forms a challenging aspect to both Venus and Neptune. Today don’t be surprised if you feel as you are being pulled in different directions, or somewhat unmotivated and lazy! As much as you’d like to pull the covers over your head and resist facing the day or looking for an easy escape may seem like the ideal thing to do, however I can assure you that if you push yourself to experience or see things differently you will be very pleased, the world may even look different if you try just a little today. This will be especially true if you push yourself a bit to see or experience something you have resisted in the past.

The Sun in Leo sesquiquadrates retrograde Neptune in Pisces. When the planet of mysticism and dreams clashes with our ego and conscious self it creates tension between OUR reality and delusions. Try not to avoid reality today, finding a happy medium between your spirit and ego is the key for today! It’s a day for working on your creativity, dreams and spiritual; practice, however don’t get to hard on yourself or caught up in the fine details try to honor your flaws and best qualities.

Happy Monday!

There is Work to be Done! 24/07/2018.

Venus in Virgo opposes retrograde Neptune in Pisces.

The Moon enters Capricorn.

The emotional environment is calm and uneventful for most of Tuesday with the Moon  in Sagittarius for most of the morning. We do get a reality check when the Moon enters Capricorn later today. Responsibilities and work commits become clearer today as you get back into routine and structure. Capricorn is all hard work in order to develop integrity and mastery in all parts of your life. Use this energy to get those important tasks done, to get your head in order and make a plan! No more getting lost or caught up in Sagittarius whimsy, adventurous and escapism ways.

Venus in Virgo opposes retrograde Neptune in Pisces. This will cause some tension as the both planets energy are at an opposition with each other. Tension when it comes to romantic matters and our deepest wants and needs or lack of are exacerbated today, some will be in denial looking at love or current relationships through rose-coloured glasses. Don’t jump to any conclusions or make any decisions as it is unlikely that you have all the information necessary to do so. Venus and Neptune normally can be lovely for creativity, romance, compassion and self-less service. but at an opposition with each other concerns in our relationships and finances will be playing on our mind. The key for today is to find balance, compassion and understanding whilst using your discernment and being honest.

 

Have a great day!

This morning may start out a bit rough for some as the Scorpio Moon forms a challenging square aspect to retrograde Mars. This can cause some tension and friction between you and anyone on your path! Try to avoid arguments or blowing your fuse this morning as it will be very easy to lose your cool and frustrations can go from 0 to 100 in a split second.Keep in mind that retrograde Mars’ provides us with an opportunity to explore, dissolve, and eliminate toxic anger.

Good news is that the day smooths out and exciting for enough for us,offers us an evening that is made for love, romance and an opportunity to form close and deep connections with close friends and lovers. This is all thanks to Moon forming a sextile to Venus and then forming a conjunction to expansive and lucky Jupiter.

A love that expands and fills your heart on a deeply profound soul growth level. Don’t settle for light social fling tonight.

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer 201/8.

Thursday, July 12, 2018:

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer.

The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer forms an opposition to both the Sun and Moon to Pluto in Capricorn.

Today we have a partial solar eclipse at 20’41 Cancer.  This eclipse is the first in the Cancer/Capricorn polarity series! What is activated or brought to Light for you right now can give you insight into the next 19 months. The effects of the Eclipse can last up to six months. The energy being brought forth will be one of family, home life and career and work life, most importantly finding a healthy balance between them both. Look in your chart to see if either of the signs are present, it will give you a clue on what to work and focus your New Moon intentions on!

So not only do we have a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer, we have the Sun opposing Pluto and then the New Moon opposing Pluto.This opposition happens once a year. Therefore it is important for us to understand that we may not be to familiar with this combination of energies. To add into the mix, all these energies we will experience will be intensified by the New Moon solar eclipse! This opposition of power will creating a potent clash between our conscious self and  the Lord of transformation. When Pluto is in play its very important that we remember its energy is one of healing, rebirth and transformation. Can you think back and review whats been happening over the past 6 months? Whats been building up? Any control or power dynamics have arisen? What issues or problems that need to be healed?  Whatever began for you then is now fully illuminated in all its power or darkness. Open your eyes to look deeply. This could well be a pivot point /personally or collectively.

This New Moon draw in the Cancer’s energy which is related to family, home, relationships and nurturing. Also there is huge focus on our feelings, emotions and intuition right now. As I have mentioned this eclipse opposes Pluto in Capricorn, so expect some intense and powerful light to any shadow areas concerning important relationships both personal and family.

Pay special attention to your New Moon ritual and wishes. As whatever seeds you plant for a new beginning or anything you want to manifest at this New Moon will have far more strength and magic, pushing your growth and dreams forward. Be mindful of the fact that everyone’s emotions are heightened. Pay special attention to your New Moon ritual as whatever seed you plant for a new beginning at this New Moon will have far more strength pushing your growth forward.

Traditionally a New Moon is about making new intentions, new beginnings, planting seeds that you inspire to grow. This month the Moon is in its home sign of Cancer, so our New Moon manifestation bucket list should focus on matters that Cancer rules over such as safety, intuition, emotions, food,  family, domestic domains, and a focus on what our basic foundations are set upon, to focus on what we call “Home”. This eclipse is going to strengthen and magnify your new beginnings especially if your focus regarding all of these matters.

Another focus of Cancer is our sense of belonging and security, it’s about where we feel ” At Home” our weakness, vulnerability, our strengths. Cancer’s energy is about finding our ability to move forward and shake off past hurts especially in romance department or relationships with our parents. It’s about forgiving our self and others. This a time to recognize and appreciate the importance of our family or whom we call family, this includes your friends, animals and people who make you feel welcome and safe! If any relationship needs healing or forgiveness use this months New Moon intentions and wishes to build up, heal or strengthen your relationships and most importantly to work on your own relationship with yourself.

This New Moon learn to feed your soul or work on home improvements. Cancer loves food so what better time to enroll yourself and take a cooking class, have ” you” time, take a bath  and honor your innermost feelings. Re-decorate your home or work place and if your domestic home life needs a tweak this is the time to work on it.

 

Happy New Moon manifestation guys!

The Moon enters dreamy Pisces.

The Moon sextiles Uranus in Taurus.

The Pisces Moon sextiles Saturn in Capricorn.

The Moon leaves Aquarius behinds to enters dreamy Pisces. The Moon in Pisces has a sensitive energy and it leaves us feeling more emotional, creative, spiritual, caring passionate and intuitive! Which means these wonderful traits are awakened within us. The Moon than sextiles Uranus in Taurus. This positive and harmonious relationship with the great rebellious planet means we will have great new outrages ideas to old stale problems! The energy is also about personal freedom and self revolution!

The Pisces Moon then forms another harmonious sextile to Saturn in Capricorn. Saturn is all about structure and  hard work. Today we will find that we are more empathetic and have deep compassion and connection with others, this will be combined with the focus and hard-working strategies of Saturn in Capricorn to help us to break down barriers! The key for today is to help others by lending them your special expertise! Whether this is listening, work skills, your time, ideas or a simply compassionate smile! It’s also a great day to put in the ground work and make to effort to heal yourself, especially if it is YOU who really needs this TLC energy.  If times are especially hard at the moment or you are in an upheaval stage of your life, this energy is perfect to lighten the load! This could mean you sit and mediate on answers you need or meditate and hand over your problems to the universe, get some Reiki or a de-stressing massage.

Just a heads up, this week is full of water energy! Water is about the other side, intuition, healing, emotions and spirituality! This is a time when the Universal veil is thin and making connection to the other side will be easy. So look out for life’s synchronicity, repetitive numbers, write down your dreams and listen to your gut feelings! The other side may be trying to get a message to you!

 

Happy Monday!

The Moon enters Sagittarius.

Venus in Leo square Jupiter in Scorpio.

The Sagittarius Moon forms a sextile to Mars in Aquarius than trines Chiron in Aires.

The Moon enters Sagittarius. This is an instant energy booster as you get some spring in your step ready to and ready to go and ready explore the day ahead. If you have some steam to blow off today is the day! It’s great energy to be out and about, see the magic that is all around you, to mingling and strike up new and interesting conversations. It’s also a great day to get out and explore the world around you.. This includes booking a flight or adventure for those who need a little cosmic push!

Today we see Venus in Leo square Jupiter in Scorpio. Venus in Leo leaves you feeling confident within yourself , our wants and needs for affection and attention are high. We are playful and cheeky as we seek out someone to fulfill our needs desires. Venus in Leo is all about being in the moment in love, relationships, beauty and finances! On the other hand, Jupiter the planet of good luck , abundance and good fortune and in Scorpio, we have access and are easily able to tap into our intuition for guidance and luck. Today our good luck and abundance is gained by tapping into our selves and tuning in to what we really need intuitively. If you really listen to your feelings you will get amazing results today. So today its best to listen to your inner voice and feelings and work out what are the best circumstance you would want to manifest in your life! What is the best mode of action and direction that benefits and works best for you? Today it’s about thinking and knowing you deserve the best and thinking along the lines of “how can I improve my circumstances”. If you focus inwards at this time you will get the best answer and the next directional step forward in any area of your life. However, this aspect can also leave some over doing it today. Which i don’t mind seeing its my birthday! Watch out for over indulging, over stating feelings and emotions, being overly self-assured, over spending on our affections and proclaiming some serious love.. Think shouting it from the rooftop. Be careful not to slip up and get caught up in the moment and overstate your feelings, well unless you are sure that is!

The Sagittarius Moon forms a sextile to Mars in Aquarius than trines Chiron in Aires. We see the Moon which is our emotions form relationships with the Mars, the male archetype and principle in the sign of Aquarius which is the sign of “being of service, community and outward thinking” and Chiron the wounded healer in Aires, which is all about self-healing. It’s a day for self-healing by being around others! By healing yourself and sharing your story you are able to help those around you to step up and do self-healing. You have this amazing aura and connection to those around you today. People are able to see you for your authentic self and commend you for your journey, ts ok to say you have wounds to heal and yes you can find yourself amongst the storm and chaos. It’s ok to be bruised and still be happy!!!

Have a great day!

Happy Monday!

New Moon in Gemini 2018.

New Moon in Gemini.

Mercury in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus.

Venus moves out of Cancer and into Leo.

We have a lot going on today starting off this morning we begin with Mercury who is currently sitting in sensitive in Cancer forming a sextile aspect to innovative, unearthing and some would say potentially life-changing Uranus. This exciting aspect will help us to link our mind, thoughts and communication with the planet of rebellion and unexpected twist in very unusual ways. This is a day about radical thinking, “Aha moments” and situations coming to light. With Cancer and Taurus energy involved these heighten awareness will come in the form of security, home, family, love and the past as these signs have deep connections to these areas…This is a great day to find an opportunity to let go of that which we hold onto, especially with a New Moon in the mix. Search around your home, your self and your routines and seek that of which does not serve you anymore, make room for the new. If you can get out in nature today, do so, touch a tree, put your feet in the sand, open yourself to what the Natural World has to teach you. You may be surprised!

The New Moon is at 22° Gemini. The New Moon is a time when we begin a new lunar. A new cycle of emotional and personal growth. Traditionally this is the time to plant seeds of intentions, of change and growth you want to tend over the coming month. Each month we are assisted by the energy of the sign the Moon sits in and this month we have are showered with Gemini energy. Gemini who is ruled by Mercury, energy is all about communication, ideas and expression.

In Gemini, we begin a cycle of understanding and communication. Consider your newest thoughts and ideas. Wait until tomorrow or later tonight to do your New Moon ritual. This gives you all day to contemplating new  ideas, thoughts, learning and ways of expressing yourself. This New Moon focus your intentions and New Moon wishes on working on your communication skills, engaging your mind and creativity, expanding your knowledge, and strengthening your understanding of ourselves and the world around us.Social skills will also be highlighted this New Moon. Get out and about this month, you just may meet someone or have a conversation that leads you one step closer to your dreams and goals. New ways of thinking and learning are another top priority for this New Moon in Gemini.

Venus, the planet of money, love and our deepest values, enters playful , proud and fun-loving Leo. Shifting the Goddess of Love and Beauty from yin to yang and from water to fire. We are now moving from a focus on the inside, to a shift to a more outward focus. Venus in Leo means passion, self-love, excitement and playfulness.Venus in Leo loves to have fun! We all require a bit more attention and adoration when Venus in Leo. You will feel best if you go out of your way to give the gift of attention and love to others.You may notice the world looking a little less vulnerable as we leave sensitive Cancer behind and we feel a little brighter. Over the coming weeks of Venus’ transit through Leo it is a great time to get in touch with the your inner child, enjoy life, love and beauty. However Leo is eccentric, overly self focused,  narcissistic and sometimes can be to proud, try not to take this energy on in your relationships, attitude towards others and being overly generous and silly with your money!

Happy New Moon wishing.
