Quarter Moon in Libra.

Moon in Libra lines forms a trine aspect to both the Sun in Gemini and Mars in Gemini.

Your spirits feel quite a float as you begin the day today with the Quarter Moon newly in peace-loving and harmonious Libra. The Quarter Moon phase is the mid way point between a New Moon and Full Moon. This ‘Half Moon’ point in the Luna cycle, means that we are half way to manifesting our dreams, but it also indicates a crisis point and you may start to have a few doubts about your ability to manifest your goals. However, lucky for us the Libra Moon means we seek a balance and harmonious energy for the day. Our thoughts are balanced and we have the ability to see both sides of any situations. Today, engage in kindness and diplomacy. Focus your energy and attention on bringing a certain peace, love and beauty to all people and situations you encounter.

A Grand Trine is formed as the Moon in Libra lines up to a trine aspect to both the Sun in Gemini and Mars in Gemini. This is a lovely way to begin the day!By the time we reach midday, we may face some challenges as the Libra Moon forms difficult aspects to both Venus and Saturn. When the planet of love and relationships clashes with restrictive Saturn we may notice  yourself or others being moody or  cranky. use Libra’s Moon energy to find harmony and generosity in relationships if you see a change in your attitude or others around you!

Have a great day!

Say What Needs To Be Said, Go on you have the Courage! 23/05/2018.

The Moon is in Virgo.

The Sun in Gemini trines mars in Aquarius.

Mercury opposes Jupiter.

In the early hours of this mornings, this opposition of Mercury to Jupiter means that we must pay attention to what should and shouldn’t be said or what should and shouldn’t be openly expressed. Once the day is in full swing that won’t be a problem but just remember we could have a case of foot in mouth and be left saying what you didn’t mean to say.

The Moon remains in Virgo, once again we are left to focus on our health, work, organisation and fine tuning our daily routines and provides us with a smooth, effective day.

The Sun in Gemini trines mars in Aquarius. This tine aspect forming between the talkative and witty Gemini Sun to assertive and masculine Mars in Aquarius means that our ability to creatively use our mind along with our communication skills is powerful. This linking of the two masculine planets in harmonious ways is great for taking action, steeping up and into a certain role that ordinary you wouldn’t be confident to, for being focused and taking initiative. With these planets also being in two Air signs the energy is focused!! Mental pursuits are high on your priority list as well as being sociable. Engage in an active debates, discussions or lively conversation.

 

Happy Hump Day!

Big Changes again as Mars enters Aquarius! 16/05/2018.

Mars enters Aquarius.

Mars Aquarius squares Uranus Taurus.

Good Morning, well much has occurred before you even wake up today morning. Mars has left grounded Capricorn behind where it has over the past weeks been pushing us to focus our attention on a serious agenda of work and ambition. Mars has now entered into Aquarius where he will remain until mid-November this year. When Mars is in Aquarius the energy is less predictable. Your own interests, motivation and energy level will be the same. Expect to find yourself focused either your own achievements or alternately you may be more interested in group dynamics. Mars in Aquarius is great for detaching yourself from your emotions, especially ones such as anger when in difficult situations.

Mars is the planet of action and direction and its known for its ability to provoke anger, and war. Uranus is the planet of defiance, its unpredictable, unexpected, its energy is one of innovation and revolution.During this transit, choose to find the excitement, love the unexpected, reach for inspiration, and seek unusual change. Also we should keep in mind to watch the world, your life and the lives of those you encounter. Watch the news and its headline stories I can tell you know things will start to unravel especially when Mars and Uranus are now playing poker against one and other. However, we do need to watch out during this square aspect that we are not over reactive and haste full, our moods and emotions have the ability to jump from 0 to 100 and frustrations, anger and moodiness are very possible and could cost you. The positive side of life is that we can really reach our full potential and are able   to do radically innovative things in sudden and unexpected ways that even surprise yourself!

Mars Aquarius squares Uranus Taurus, Creating major tension and friction between the planet that rules our will and driver and our inner warrior and the big rebel. Uranus in Taurus and Mars now entering Aquarius sets these two dynamic power players up for an intensely challenging conversation. Uranus and Mars will form three highly challenging square aspects with each over the coming months. We are experiencing one now, There will be one now, another again in August, and finally the last in September. Over the coming days we will experience our first taste of the story to be, in August we will get to know the plot before we see the full conclusion in September.

If you haven’t made your New Moon intentions it’s not to late! get wishing.

Happy Hump Day.

~~New Moon Day in Taurus and Uranus enter Taurus ~~ 15/05/2018.

~~New Moon in Taurus ~~

~~Uranus eneters Taurus ~~

Today we have a New Moon in Taurus. This New Moon is highly significant as it shares the same day we see Uranus enter Taurus. We can expect some power shifts happening, so its best not to underestimate its abilities to wake and shake up some new expected energies and change in your life. This has the ability to also move your life in a new direction and this is to do with Uranus the planet of disruption, change, and revolution mixing in with New Moon Luna energy of new beginnings and manifestation.

With all this Taurus energy entering into our lives, it’s a great time to look at your natal chart to see what house in your chart holds Taurus? This will be the area of your life that is being highlighted for you and is demanding change. Allow yourself to be moved, address any issues and don’t try to avoid the profound shifts that will inevitably be in the making in the coming months.

The New Moon is at 24’36 Taurus. This commences a new lunar cycle. A New moon is represent in our sky as complete darkness, it’s when the Sun and Moon are aligned, and the Sun and Earth are on opposite sides of the Moon. This is a time where the Moon recharges itself for the next lunar cycle, and this Month its recharging with Taurus energy. This New Moon will focus on the earth, nurturing, sensuality, money, beauty and embodiment. Taurus is the first Earth sign and is ruled by Venus, so it is not just focused on material stability and reality, but also on love, abundance, sensuality and pleasure. Taurus is loyal and loves the simple (and finer) pleasures such as  good food, good wine, fine arts and music but Taurus also loves any activity that brings them closer to nature and brings us in touch with our body!

The Sun joins the New Moon at 24 degrees Taurus. More earthy Taurus energy! Don’t forget its time to do your New Moon rituals. Plant seeds of intentions or manifestations you wish to see fruit over the next month! You can even wait a day or two if you need to reflect on what you need to bring forth into your life! Keep your ritual simple But do not neglect your New Moon Ritual.

Take a moment to write down the changes you wish to create, manifest,  begin or increase in the upcoming Moon Cycle. Being the New Moon in Taurus the intention you should set will focus on incorporating Taurus energy into your intentions. The Taurus New Moon suggests that you plant a seeds or intentions of patience, loyalty, sensuality, beauty, dependability, finances and being ground. Take advantage of the New Moon and Uranus in Taurus, by planting a seed or dream that will support the changes you want to see in any areas of your life. This is a good Luna cycle to discover what truly makes us happy and fulfilled also its a cycle in which we should try to re-evaluate our relationship to money and possessions.

Taurus, like I have mentioned likes security and stability  but can hold onto to the past even when it is stagnant, old, toxic leaving them felling “stuck”. The Uranus energy we are experiencing, well unfortunately for those stubborn Bulls is all about change! Uranus is all about unexpected change, change in our daily lives and its structure, it’s very revolutionary. It will test our basic foundations and just when we feel secure it throws a curve ball you catch mid-air unexpectedly. Uranus loves disruption in order for us to break away from old stagnant patterns. This shift is here for us yo  evolve, the old to die and be transformed. Uranus moves signs every 7 years and we are shifting from fire to earth energy of the great awakener and rebel!

Uranus in Taurus is an interesting transit to say at least, as Taurus is a sign that resist change and needs consistency, security and stability and well Uranus  nature is one of big change. The changes we can see when you throw the sign of material gains and the great revolutionar you can expect to see  big change to your abundance, your finances, and our precious values and everything  we dearly hold onto!

Alternately, Over the next 7 years it will be a great time for us to  let go of what we hold onto out of safety and security that does not serve us in order to make room for our new-found abundance and wealth. let go over the power that money may hold over you, and power plays in regards to addiction, spending, food, alcohol and let go of the thought that you need material objects to make you happy and secure.

Maintaining stability in the face of the all these big shifts that Uranus is bringing is key, Lucky for us Taurus is very grounded but it is also very stubborn, which means it also has a problem with resisting change as it seeks security and a safety net. So please, become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure, just so you can use that grounding and confidence to make changes in other areas of your life that may not feel so stable and that could really use some change. It’s a time to become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure and use its as a starting point for succesful change!

Even as Uranus is pushing for something shockingly new. It’s a beautiful time to commit to your personal goals and dreams, especially those that express the positive energies of the sign of the mighty Bull. With everything that is going on cosmically, don’t forget to enjoy this time. It’s a time to enjoy life’s physical and simple pleasures! Make a romantic dinner with loved ones, go on a romantic holiday with a partner, enjoy a good book, savor good food, get out and ground yourself in nature and enjoy those activities that bring you back in touch with nature.

Think big this New Moon as the change available is not a minor one!

Happy New Moon Day

A day for Progressive thinking and Overindulging… 08/05/2018.

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

 

Tuesday, May 8th 2018.

The Moon is in Aquarius.

The Taurus Sun opposes retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio.

Today we see the steadfast Taurus Sun opposing retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio. This will create some tension or an opposition between the planet of expansion and abundance and our conscious self. This opposition to Jupiter today has both an yin and yang effect on us.  Taurus and Scorpio love indulging and being sensual so on one hand it is a great day for being social, eating, exploring, having fun and enjoying life. However we must  be aware of overindulgence, going over the top and excess as Jupiter does not like limitations of any kind. The key for today is to enjoy life but don’t overdo it.

 

 

The Moon spends most of the day in progressive Aquarius, when it will later move into dreamy Pisces. On Aquarius Moon days we can find yourself becoming very detached and withdrawn from worry and expectations. Our thoughts and feeling are objective and we are able to set our own pace for the day. Originality and a cosmic push towards our life path are more visible today as you come to realize that your own path forward is not done alone and you must push forward on this journey, and those who follow along are a bonus.

Hope you have a great day enjoying the small things of life!

Full Moon in Scorpio 29/4/18!

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Full Moon in Scorpio.

Sunday, April 29th, 2018.

By the time you wake up on Sunday morning, the Full Moon has entered deep, intense and very mysterious Scorpio. A full Moon is exact 180 degrees away from the Sun and it’s totally illuminated and showers down on us its Luna energy. Full Moon have the ability to interfere with our sleep patterns, either you can get insomnia or become very lethargic and crave sleep. It has the ability to make people’s emotions and moods off-balance and out-of-order. Not surprising if the Moon has such an effect or our waters, ocean and tides who says it can play havoc in our bodies, we are made up of mostly water.

This is going to be a spectacular Full Moon, it will be in the sassy sign of Scorpio at 9 degrees, which means the Sun is sitting in the sign of Taurus at 9 degrees. This Full Moon is in its opposite sign of Taurus, Scorpio. Triggering a push-pull or integration effect between both of these signs energies. The Sun in Taurus is grounded, secure, practical especially in regards to possessions, home and money. It loves sensuality, chemistry and indulging the senses. Taurus is a fixed earthly signs about practicality, manifestation and nature. Taurus is the most invested in the physical and material world. It can also be lazy, slow and stubborn.

Scorpio is a water sign, emotional, intelligent and magnetic. When the Moon is in Scorpio we go deep, your emotions tend to go very deep, our shadow side is illuminated. Connections with others must be deeply powerful in order to be worth your while. We won’t be happy or content until we have looked below the surface, and we will not settle for nothing less than the truth. Key words to take from Scorpio energy is transmutation, transformation, intuition, healing, power, desire, calculated, passionate and intense. Scorpio however can also be controlling and manipulative.

If we look closely, both Scorpio and Taurus are associated with values, money, and worth.Taurus and Scorpio are both possessive in their own way. Scorpio is possessive of their loved ones whilst Taurus can be possessive with their physical things and money.

In next few days before and after this Full Moon in Scorpio, expect to experience on some level the polarity of these two signs playing out in our lives. The key here is find a balance and to integrate both signs, take some time out and incorporate and considerate all the energies that are available to us.

Scorpio, ruled by Pluto is known for death and rebirth, transformation, destruction and recreation. Under this Full Moon, the darkness that you’d rather avoid will not be easily silenced unfortunately. The shadow aspect of us is just as important as any other aspect of our self. The darkness can shine light and hold so much wisdom and insight in regards to our higher self and healing we must do in order to progress through life. It contains all the answers or clues on what to do next that you’ve been searching for. We will have opportunities for feeling this connection on our inner realms right now.

Scorpio’s are honest and real, and their honesty should be the most comforting thing in the world. The energy of the Scorpio Full Moon highlights our deep subconscious. We can discover what drives us, motivates us or what our deepest desires are. What are you longing for? What are you aspiring to be? This Moon will help us manifest this if we stay on track and align our will with our higher self. It is a time do so some self releasement. To release what no longer is working for us, physically, mentally emotionally, whatever is unhealthy and doing you no good. A spring clean, not just in our physical and emotional body but also within home, office or the people around us. This is also a great time to deal with healing on a soul level especially if you have trust issue.

The Full Moon in Scorpio is here to remind us of the need to consider others, contributions and support, others needs, input and wants, and it’s also here to force an awareness of any relationship imbalances. Now let’s look at the numerology of this Full Moon. Its sitting at 9 degrees, nine in numerology represents completion and  spirituality, which highlights what we’re doing, and are we on the right path? Is it right in terms of our long-term growth and success.

During this Full Moon, take a few moments and think about what you may want to release emotionally that is stopping you for your wealth and happiness. Be open and willing to receive.

Happy Full Moon Day!

The Sun Enters Taurus, 19/04/18.

The Sun enters Taurus.

Venus in Taurus sesquiquadrates  Retrograde Saturn in Capricorn.

As the Sun moves through the zodiac, we enter into a more ground and stable energy as the Sun leaves assertive, dynamic Aries and  enters stable, grounded Taurus. The energy will shift from fire to earth and from action to patience. The Taurus Sun seeks safety, stability, reliability and structure. Taurus values loyalty and it has a fine love for the love of beauty and precious possessions. It is also the most sensual sign of the zodiac. We get a chance to slow down and smell the roses. We are now at an even better time to go inwards and pay attention to our bodies, our needs and comforts. However the shadow side of Taurus is that we can get to self-absorbed and over indulgent on the finer things in life. Watch out for being to resistant to change and being stubborn and lazy.

 

It’s also a great idea to have a look to the house in your chart that holds Taurus to shed some understanding and light where these energies are available.

 

Venus in Taurus sesquiquadrates Retrograde Saturn in Capricorn. This will create tension between the planet of love and beauty and the mighty teacher and lord of Karma and lessons. This aspect seems very intimidating but it’s also the shake up that we need to get real. Our structures, beliefs and foundations of life as we know it  may get an overview as Saturn shows us the tiny faults that might be holding us back. It get through this harsh reality check we must align that part of us that represents love, relationships and beauty with our values, see what supports us or hold sus back. Are we truly aligning our self with our morals and values or are we doing so just to please others?

Have a great day!

Chiron Enters Aries 17/04/2018.

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Chiron moves from Pisces to Aries.

Today marks a  new, pioneering and fresh aspect to the realm of healing. As Chiron enters into Aries, beginning its transit on April 17th, 2018.

Chiron is called many different names, from  a comet, an asteroid and a planetoid. Its role in astrology relates to healing the wounds of our soul. These wounds that we carry with us create energy blockages which in turn can cause emotional, psychological and physical distress that impact our life significantly.

Chiron has been traveling through the transcendent and dreamy sign of Pisces for the past eight years, and today it is about to move into Aries. Aries is the male archetype sign that is ruled fire. It is the sign of the warrior, the go getter and adventurer.

Chiron gets us to do a self-assessment and to look deep into what is working, what isn’t, what repetitive patterns keep resurfacing, what emotional distress or fears seem to never go away and ultimately to see how well our life patterns are supporting our ability to heal and what affects this has on our health. It is important for each individual to remember that Chiron’s main role astrological speaking is help promote the assimilation of our mind, body and spirit framework to ultimately achieve balance in our energetic systems.

While Pisces provided us with a divine doorway to bliss, insight and an intuitive path into our soul and its needs, it also created a transparency and dependency. It opened a door to alcohol, drugs and other nasty substances of addiction. This includes addiction to technology and a loss of self-identity! The focus now it is in Aries, will move into a state of health consciousness and undergo a radial health transformation. We will likely see new and pioneering shifts of medicine and healing during this phase. Exciting stuff.

Heads up to those who have  planets in cardinal signs, such as Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn (Which I have 60% in my chart) those of us will experience this transit the most, we might find ourselves feeling triggered emotionally, drained or perhaps a loss of energy. Cardinal signs will be challenged the most. You will be affected more than once over the next eight years. This means that you will have to tap into your inner warrior and tune into the Aries energy of courage and strength in order to embrace the messages and healing coming to you from Chiron. Fires signs such as Sadge and Leo will be showered with more of the healing energy. Enjoy!

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and it represents our personal self-development and personality. We will begin a new search for our identity, look outside from a new prospective at anything that is bringing us down. We will redirect and re self orientate our self. The energy moves from yin to yang as Pisces was about the greater good and the collective as a whole and Aries moves us into the “Self” makes it personal and more about the individual. Expect yourself to be asking questions such as “What am a I fighting for?”  “Why am I really here?” and  “What is my purpose?”. This aspect encourages us to discover more about our self and to take back your power. It initiates us to take action, fight for what you want and believe in and don’t take “NO”.

As we are set into motion on finding out our true identity we must gain courage to look deep within our self. To have the courage to look at yourself and discover what needs healing in order to move forward is hard for anyone, but with a planetary push from Chiron we are able to do so with confidence and come to an understanding of our enlightened journey on this planet! It’s about real transformation now, embrace it.

Chiron is offering it to those who want its healing energy, but its the original source may come from of place of pain, loneliness and darkness. Our deepest seeded internal conflict can be resolved if you are will to do the work. Have you looked at natal chart to see where Chiron is sitting to gain some insight on how to heal yourself? No matter what your age, when Chiron transits Aries it will create a significant shift. It will have an effect on all of us in some way.

Chiron in Aries will shifts our focus from omega to alpha from water to fire. It will shift our healing and our wounds towards our ego, our masculine self and our will and drive. Remember, this will give us the opportunity to get face to face with our deep wounds and heal them. Especially in regards to these areas of our self that are associated with rage, motivation, drive, anger, assertiveness, our relationship with the masculine and self focus over the  incoming years.

New Moon Energy! 16/04/2018.

New Moon in Aries.

Mercury in Aries semisquares Venus in Taurus.

We have a New Moon in Aries in our midst, as the Sun and Moon meet at 180 degree of one and another, the Moon recharges its batteries for the next lunar cycle. This month it is recharging with Aries energy. New beginnings and taking action are they key words for this New Moon. Forward momentum, getting on with things and life whilst taking action on those plans you have put aside especially now Mercury retrograde is over and it has stationed direct!

The New Moon in Aries, represents a time of going inward and regenerating. Pulling n Aries energy from the Sun. We are at a time of empowerment, progression and future thinking. Aries being the first sign of the zodiac means it is a new lunar year! Aries is a fire sign passionate and driven. It is a pioneer and its energy is related to igniting yourself and getting things started. These months expect motivation, being impulsive, desire,charm and generating ideas. As Aries is ruled by Mars the male planet, this sign has lots of masculine qualities about it. Strength, manual labour and self-assertion, it is also a time to reflect on what you care about. It is a time to ask yourself.. What do I need to get myself started on the right path. What aspect of your life do you want to make progression in? Your Career? Physical health? relationships?

The New Moon is at 26 degrees, two and six equals eight. Eight in numerology is power number! So not only are we lucky enough to be getting a jump-start by pulling in Aries energy, which is very goal oriented and GO GO GO energy that is driven to focus on the future, we will also be empowered and magnified. This is about you this month, what you want and what you want to achieve.

Mercury in Aries semisquares Venus in Taurus. This can cause a little upset with our heart and our mind. Inner and outer conflicts with our relationships can happen, as we seek independence as well as connection with others. Watch out and don’t put your foot in it, unless you really need to speak up today. As my wise mother always told me, think before you speak! Meet people in the middle, don’t let your thoughts and impulses dictate your actions especially if you feel your emotions or thoughts going from 1 – 100 in seconds. On a more positive note, your thoughts, communications and insights arising today can shed light on what is awry in our relationships, both personal and business.

The Moon is in Aquarius.

The Sun in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn.

Today we have the Moon still in Aquarius, and it is Aquarius  providing us with objectivity and open-minded detachment to situations and resolutions that can allow us to remain emotionally removed from the outcome. Today is great to step outside your comfort zone, interact with like-minded and the more unusual folk. Spark up interesting conversations and work towards a more progressive way of thinking and being under the Moon’s influence in Aquarius. You will crave independence and freedom today use this as a breakthrough and let it propel you into new interesting areas.

As we head into the afternoon, you may come face to face the darker side of the day. The Sun in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn. This can stir up some tension between our conscious self and the planet of transformation and power. Pluto is intense on a good day and now that we have friction arising, we can experience some power play and control dynamics with others or even internally if we don’t watch our thoughts. This tension can  particularly happen with authority figures or people in charge.

The Sun in Aries is means that we are very independent and superior and that falling  back into line is not an option, and on the other hand Pluto energy is oppressive and controlling as it squares the Aries Sun. Today, the key to handling these energies is action on your behalf. Action meaning  something is being required of you, perhaps a change in direction, we may need to find balance, practice self-control, not be reactive, aggressive or impulsive. Today its best if you can find the balance between asserting yourself in the right situation and knowing when to back down and wait.

Have a good day!
