Life is an Adventure 30/01/2019.

The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Neptune in Pisces forms a square aspect the Moon in Sagittarius.

The Moon still continues through Sagittarius guiding and encouraging us to seek or expand our understanding of the world around us, whether it be through booking a trip, going in nature or watching a documentary on you tube. The world is you oyster make the most of it and your new spark of excitement for life.

Neptune will also form a square aspect the Moon. This harsher energy means we are more sensitive and get hurt easily. This is because you are extremely emotionally sensitive and this in turn can bring strange feelings or experiences that leave you questioning reality and your vulnerability. It would be wise to remember during this transit that chances are that you are not perceiving things correctly, your emotions and feelings are all over the shop, so it makes this evening the perfect time to retreat and have some alone time. Take a nap, run a bath or get lost in your favorite TV show.

Today you may have a clear sense of your own wisdom, but remember that not everyone sees the world through your eyes. It’s not a day to push people s limits and beliefs. Today if you can practice some self-control and patience may learn something new and unexpected.

 

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”

The Moon in Libra forms a square to Saturn in Capricorn.

The Sun in Scorpio sesquiquadrates retrograde Chiron in Pisces

The Sun in Scorpio trines retrograde Neptune in Pisces.

The Moon in Libra forms a square to Saturn in Capricorn. The Moon in Libra is very sociable and creates or tries to create a harmonious and balanced atmosphere, its goal is make everyone get along and reduce stress especially in relationships, as it forms this square to Saturn in Capricorn there is gong to be some friction between socializing and work and meeting your own needs and reaching personal goals. Achieving what you want to accomplish is possible and the key to this is using your time wisely today and finding a balance, we get an extra cosmic push from the Libra Moon that will encourage us to go to extra mile to get along and make things work.

The Sun in Scorpio trines retrograde Neptune in Pisces, as we head towards this trine aspect which will help us align our conscious self and the planet that represents our spirituality, intuition and mysticism. As the day goes on we may get sudden burst of inspiration, our creativity increases as well as our romantic and dreamy side. Its also great news for all the artistic folk out there. We are ready to align and to tap into our intuition so pay special attention to emotions and inner experience. There are wonders out there to discover with this influence so do not dismiss anything that comes such as ideas and thoughts to quickly. Pay attention to emotions, intuition and inner experience. there are riches there to discover.

The Sun in Scorpio sesquiquadrates retrograde Chiron in Pisces. This will create unwanted pressure and possible friction between our conscious self and ego and the part of use that need’s healing and transformation.The Wounded Healer has the ability to can bring up old wounds and pains particularly around past hurts and old emotions that have been stuffed away or you deny exist. Today be willing to face what is within or what has surfaced is the key!

Happy Monday!

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!

Today is a BIG DEAL!! A LUNAR ECLIPSE 27/7/18

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 4° Aquarius.

Full Moon blessings, everyone. Today brings us to the big deal a Lunar Eclipse big deal. Today is the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 4° Aquarius. A Lunar Eclipse always occurs on a Full Moon and is basically an amped-up magnified Full Moon on steroids. This eclipse is extra potent astronomically as it’s the longest total lunar eclipse in the 21st century, how exciting. This Full Moon is known as a Blood Moon and its energy is steering us in a direction of change and progress.

A Full Moon is where the Sun and Moon are sitting at 180 degrees from each other. The Moon is completely illuminated and thus showers us with its Luna energy here on earth. Traditionally a Full Moon is a completion point of the lunar cycle and is when the Moon recharges its batteries. We also experience a burst of strong energy as the Moon is highlighted with the Suns energy and that is why people here on earth can act strange or loony during a Full Moon.a Total Lunar Eclipse, is when  the Earth passes between the Sun & the Moon, the Earth with block the Suns rays from FULLY reaching the Moon, thus the Moon is fully cast within Earth’s shadow.

The Total Lunar Eclipse at 4’44 Aquarius is right smack on aggressive and sharp Mars retrograde on the karmic south node and comes in close contact to rebellious Uranus. These are very volatile energies coming into play. This also means for us we have some MAJOR  intensification of the karmic energies we are working with or through. I wont lie these next few days has the potential to cause emotional distress and detachment as Aquarius energy offers perspective and even indifference or distance if necessary.The difficulties deep rooted in this eclipse may unfold in our personal circumstances or you may watch it unfold in the outer world. Pay attention!

We also have Mars at closest alignment with Earth from July 27th-31st. He will appear to us  the brightest he has been since 2003 and a fun fact Mars will outshine Jupiter by 1.8 times.

Mars Retrograde is going to be a time when many of us are faced with shadow work. It’s main focus and a chance for us to change will be transforming our relationship, within and without of us. Unfortunately these shadow aspects are going to bring up certain dynamics around our ego, anger, jealously, aggression and rage in our personal relationships, but it does give us a chance to bring any underlying issues to light for transformation and change. Watch your temper and the urge to snap at those you love. Remember that trying to be all things to all people vs having real relationships is about finding a balance without giving to much away or alternatively taking to much for others. Aquarius luna energy means we will be more independent and creative whilst seeking change and being service to others.

As I mentioned this eclipse forms a square to Uranus, and Uranus loves to present us with the most unexpected plot twist! Today can be a sense of surprise, shock, or frustration as we get answers or revolutions into the emotions we’re confronted now with the eclipse.This Full Moon eclipse detach from others and your own mind and let go.

Look for the area or house in your chart that holds 4° Aquarius. This will highlight and indicates the area of life that requires a great deal of attention over the coming months. Remember this Eclipse energy can be felt for months after the event has happened. A new story or a change in the story in this area of life will develop from what occurs now. So pay attention.

This Full Moon the energy is steering us in a direction of change and progress. keep your eyes open as you give of yourself to help others. Helping others is the best way to care for yourself. Release what no longer works for you or is holding you down! Breath and let go, try to enjoy this eclipse it truly is a turning point.

Happy full moon day.

Sharing is Caring! 02/07/2018.

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!

Full Moon in Capricorn 28/06/2018.

Full Moon in Capricorn.

Thursday, June 28, 2018.

Happy Full Moon Day!The Capricorn Full Moon is at 6 degrees. A Full Moon is where the Sun and Moon are sitting at 180 degrees from each other. The Moon is completely illuminated and thus showers us with its Luna energy here on earth. Traditionally a Full Moon is a completion point of the lunar cycle and when the Moon recharges its batteries. We also experience a burst of strong energy as the Moon is highlight with the Suns energy and that is why people here on earth can act strange or loony during a Full Moon. The Sun is at 6 degree of Cancer, the Sun is our ego and in Cancer its your emotional and spiritual side shinning through, you are creative, artistic and nurturing in this sign. This Cancer energy that shines all its light onto the Moon which will be at 6 degrees of Capricorn. This Cancer-Capricorn polarity that we will experience this month asks us to find balance between our public and work life and our home and private life! As the Sun shines on the Moon, the Moon than receives its energy and we are left with the feeling of responsibility and duty this month. You may ask yourself  questions this Full Moon such as.. “How can I love myself more and take care of my self” as well as asking yourself how can I be of service and take care of others” or  “how i can i show my love and caring side to other people”. The Moon being in Capricorn will give us the practical, logical way to solving these questions, as well as loads of ideas on how to be more nurturing and caring for others! As Capricorn is all about strong work ethics these manifestations and ideas will be incorporated and expressed by you in your work.

Saturn, the structured, organised planet of lessons and Karma is at 5 degrees Capricorn. Saturn is the Ruling planet of Capricorn and its the planet that makes us build a solid, reliable and strong foundation for yourself to build your life on. When it’s in Capricorn it gives us a cosmic nudge in the right direction. It allows us to focus on our goals and gives us the ability to look at the end results and not so much the short-term journey. Life is serious business today, and these energies will find a way to bring your awareness to that fact. This may not a bad thing.  You have important goals to set and things to accomplish and its wise to remember that your life also has consequences.

Today is all about looking to the future and building a strong foundation or platform to work off. With Saturn and the Capricorn Moon, any ideas or goals you have will be cemented.  It’s very important to make a list or make yourself very aware of your goals, especially those goals that involve helping or caring for others. If you have always wanted a career that helps others this is the time to begin that journey, are you unemployed? Volunteer at the local community center or nursing home.

Today use this Full Moon energy to contemplate the significance of your life and make necessary adjustments to move you in the direction that you need to go.This means letting go of old emotions, people, energies, belief systems and ways of thinking. There are times in life when we should dream, a time to be silly and play and unfortunately today is not a day for fun and games! Remember, if you feel stuck or lost, one simple step can start you off on a new direction.

Mercury moves out of Cancer and into Leo. This is a big shift as our mind and intellect moves from  being sensitive to being playful, from water to fire, we see a shift from inward thinking to a more of an external focus.Our thinking is more confident and our communication is gran. We are creative in our expressions and have fun during the process of it all. When Mercury is in Leo, the energy is great for thinking creatively and even better for self-expression. We tend to be overly dramatic and we pursue the lime light and center stage! However, we can be over self-assured and we must  just watch out for coming across as narcissistic and be open to other’s perspectives.

 

Happy Full Moon day.

 

 

Take Responsibility!

The Sun in Cancer opposes retrograde Saturn in Capricorn.

The Full Moon enters Capricorn.

The Sun in Cancer opposes retrograde Saturn in Capricorn. Today brings an unmistakable heavy atmosphere as the Sun in Cancer opposes restrictive Saturn. This opposition will create tension between our ego and conscious self and the Master teacher and lord of karma. In late December of 2017, we seen the Sun and Saturn come together. Consider and think back to that time… what began at that time and you may be able to see adjustments that may need to be made now. What have you created since then and where do you want to take it as you step forward. At this time  the energy demands we get real. This is a day to take yourself and your situations along with others seriously. A time to step up and take responsibility for where you find yourself in this present moment, look clearly at reality. Also to really see what IS rather than what could or used to be. It’s not a day to sugarcoat anything. This is a day to spend time alone working on your ambitions and own goals. With the Moon entering Capricorn today it means that we need to get serious about the work that we want to accomplish.

We see the Full Moon enter Capricorn late tonight! Marking the midway point of the current lunar cycle we are in that began with the new moon in Gemini on June 13th. This Full Moon pushes us to see our mistakes clearly and make adjustments. It’s a Full Moon to get real, grounded, put in the hard work and taking into account our responsibilities. It’s a time to be productive, practical and to offer kindness to anyone you encounter,  offer support of a more serious kind.

 

Happy Hump Day!

Understanding what makes you tick or motivates you is the name of the game! 26/06/2018.

The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Mars stations retrograde at 9’13  Aquarius.

Today offers us a quieter day, a day to dream of travel and spiritual awakening. The Moon is in Sagittarius most of the day following a square aspect to dreamy, mystical Neptune early this morning. Get lost in day dreaming, arts or curl up and watch a movie that ignites your imagination.Allow yourself to dream, allow yourself to imagine any and all expansive explorations that you desire. With mars turning retrograde today it is not a day to try to accomplish anything or start new projects. This is a day meant for dreamers.

The highlight of the day is when Mars turns retrograde at 9° Aquarius. Mars will remain in retrograde until August 27th, 2018.When Mars stations retrograde, it is not a time to take action or initiate new things. It is more of a time when we need to re-assess our approach to getting what we want, our current projects or hobbies and our desires and needs. This energy is one of healing and a time to deal with the past. Look to the house in your natal chart that holds Aquarius  as you consider how to use this retrograde. Some can find it  difficult to know what we want as the shift occurs, as well as how to organize  our emotions especially the hot-headed ones such as rage, anger, control and jealously. During this retrograde phase, learning to reign in your will, rage, drive, anger and aggression and work to master these characters, that is the key over the coming weeks. It is also important that you examine how you have been using anger, aggression, and drive in your life. To make amends, to re-visit and release. It is a time to learn new ways to direct these energies moving forward.

 

Have a great day!

Winter Solstice as the Sun enters Cancer. 21/06/2018.

Thursday, June 21, 2018.

The Sun moves out of Gemini and into Cancer.

Venus in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius.

Welcome to Cancer season yay! The Sun enters the intuitive, domestic and nurturing sign of Cancer. Shifting us from  air to water energy. Today also marks the winter solstice. With the Sun in Cancer you will find that you are more focused on relationships and those who are the closet to you. Trust, turning inwards, home and family life will be highlighted this month.

Venus in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius. this opposition only happens once a year. Venus and  Mars are sitting 180 degrees from each other. Venus energy is very feminine and Mars energy is very masculine, and as they oppose each other today you will feel that you may long for the either one or the others energy in your life. Whenever they aspect each other the potential for creativity, fertility and romance are high. This yin and yang energy is also great for sudden break through… especially when it comes to business and travel adventures. Launch that website, ask for a pay rise, book those tickets, make your big plans happen or just get things started at least with the Venus and Mars energy sitting so far away from each other ( As much as they are against each other today) they will eventually join up where they belong and create something new.  However this opposition will cause friction and you may find it hard to appreciate what you have especially as you keep looking over your shoulder for what you think you would prefer or always telling yourself something better will be coming along. Balance of the male and female energy is key today and appreciating the life you have!

I want to take this opportunity as a Cancer to clear up a misunderstanding I often see expressed about us Cancer’s. Everyone seems to know that Cancer is sensitive, moody, nurturing and tender. However, do not mistake our kindness for weakness or our  sensitivity at that.  Please, make no mistake, Cancer is a powerful sign in its own right! The worst thing you could ever do is take the trusting and forgiving nature of Cancer and abuse your power, we have crab claw’s for a reason and we are very in tune when we think something doesn’t sit right. Think of Cancer as the nurturing mother bear! Don’t ever mess with mamma bear Cancer especially if you assume she will not strike back!

Over the coming month it is a time to focus on home, family, emotions, inner experience and our connection to the Divine Mother.While the Sun is in Cancer, you may feel more drawn inwards, you may focus more on building deep roots and a sense of belonging. As your attention is drawn inward to your domestic life. Enjoy the more gentle, intuitive nature of this sign.

 

Have a great day!
