Don’t Try to Control Those Around You.23/03/2018.

Venus in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn.

Mercury  in Retrograde in Aires.

Today brings a powerful transit between Venus in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn. This  transit will cause tension and friction between the planet of love and finances and the lord of the underworld and change! This means there will be intensity and possible turmoil in our relationships over the next 3 days! If anything, this will demonstrate the importance of deep change and  the importance of getting out of our own way and seeing all sides to any story or argument in your loving relationships. Issues or stuff that we are not looking for at the moment can arise right now. Thanks to Mercury Retrograde, everything is being brought up to the surface for healing, whether we like it or not!

This is not all bad! If you are in a less than stable, unhealthy partnership, where you finally realize your own self-worth this could bring the final break or push you need to make a change. On the other, if you are in a balanced healthy relationship this transit could give you that extra push to bring up those little things that have been bugging you lately! Welcome this change  to occur so that we can move forward in a positive way (although at the time it may seem like a curse, but you will see the blessing in the lesson soon enough).

 

As I have mentioned it is Mercury retrograde be acutely aware of how you are communicating between yourself and your loved ones. Allow yourself to loosen your grip as power play dynamics and control issue will come into play and will be very strong! Just steer clear of this and especially let go of trying to control every situation, being pushy, playing a victim, don’t get jealous, don’t give into power dynamics, or obsessing and becoming very  possessive.

The reality is that you can’t control others full stop! Release your attachment to the outcome.

With Venus in Aires and Mercury retrograde this is also not a time to make new financial investments, Even if the attraction is intensely powerful

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

MERCURY RETROGRADE in Aires! 22/03/2018

MERCURY RETROGRADE in Aires!

The Moon is in Gemini.

By the time you wake up this morning, the Moon has entered inquisitive, ambitious, intellectual and restless Gemini. While the Moon makes her way through Gemini, you will find that not only yourself but others  tend to be more light-hearted, social and talkative.Gemini in is an Air sign so thoughts and communications come into play today. Curiosity and being alert of your surrounds and the conversations being had will spark your interest,  also you will be more aware and more alert of others intentions. However, today being Mercury Retrograde  don’t be surprised if your communications or you normally quick ways if thinking somehow fall flat.

Mercury, the communication and mental realm planet that rules Gemini turns Retrograde This may leave you feeling somehow stuck in your communications in the way you think, your travel plans, business plans, home  loans and contracts.

During this period we may struggle or have some difficulties saying what we want to say, or saying things that leave you wondering” Why the hell did I just say that, i didn’t mean it in that context” well that’s if you can even manage to get the words out.

Keys to remember during this Mercury Retrograde…

  • It is best not to start new projects, but it is a great time to reconsidering an initiative venture or project. It’s great for coming up with new ideas and adventures, but remember do not pursue them yet!!! Dream, draw up plans, make list get the all the  information together first and review review review! It’s also strong time for returning, revisiting and rethinking an old project or pursuit you have left on the back burner.We can gain new clarity during  this upside down period!
  • The shortness of  Aries communications is magnified making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of topics and wording. The chances of sharp or  harsh comments can do some damage in the long run.
  • Mercury rules information, communication, reasoning, our manner of thinking, travel, technology, logic and how we express all of these! Its our thought processes and all Mercury related things right now can be off-center. It may feel difficult to say what you want to say, and you can leave conversations  wondering if you were understood. Communications are scrambled. Expected the unexpected and clarify all that you do, travel plans, communication , instructions, save and back up your work and even get people to relay what you have just said to them to avoid mishaps. And if you don’t get whats being said relay it back! everyone is experience this Mercury Retrograde!
  • As I mention Mercury is related to technology so for the next month if you can avoid it, it is not the best time to buy a phone, new computer or tv.
  • Signing your life away for a new home, a lease, car or any contracts BE CARE read all the information, as not all the information is not in yet or could be missing. Human error, computer error and Mercury error is in play and we do not want to regret doing anything later.

When Mercury Retrograde is in Aries, our mind and thoughts are going at a thousand miles an hour! Everything is GO GO GO, we may get frustrated if people are not thinking or doing as quick as we are. Aries energy when communicating is magnified.. EEk making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of words, tones and topics.There will be a chances that we may become sharp, blunt or unemotional when making comments and this can do damage. If you feel like you can’t get out of your head and its building up to a point of frustration and you want to explode take a breath, go for a walk, exercise and take some time to reign your thoughts! Do not let your temper, stubborn, impulsive mind take over your mind and how we communicate to others. Aires Mercury Retrograde has the ability to make us feel as what we say and feel is the right way, and have the arrogance to ignore the facts, When people who question our logic and reasoning we can act impulsively and aggressively! As my mother also told me ” Andy THINK before you speak or act ”

 

Some say this will be a time of tension, however, we need to remember the positive side of  Mercury in Aries. Mercury in Aires wants progress, answers, no more procrastination. Its time to push our self to make those positive steps to benefit our self in the long run. Get through obstacles, push our own boundaries, be selfish for once.We have the courage to get the message across and speak up for our self when normally we would sit in silence. When Mercury is in Aires especially when its stationed retrograde we have a great opportunity  to taker a step back and have a deeper look at our past decisions, patterns, behaviors and ideas from a new and possibly enlightening  perspective. Change is highly possible!

Please ,carefully consider how to manage the turbulent energy of Aires this Mercury Retrograde which continues until April 15th. Remember, Mercury retrograde is a powerful time for accomplishment if you plan and prepare accordingly. Something I really need to take note on!

Happy Mercury Retrograde gang!

The Moon transits into Pisces

By the time you get going today, the Moon has entered passive, intuitive and dreamy Pisces.Yesterday brought a relatively quiet day well for some, with a large focus on the unusual and quirky and unique thinking patterns,a kind courtesy of the Aquarius Moon.

Today brings a somewhat similar quiet day as well. But today we have traded in our unusual thinking for more of a deep sense of emotion, day dreaming, creativity, empathy, and compassion for others. Today is a great day to daydream, be creative and getting in touch with our self. If you are on a mystical pursuit today is the day to connect with your guides, the divine and angels. However don’t get to cough up and lost up in the airy fairy magical energy. Make your decisions from the heart but balance it with logic. Meaning doesn’t quit your job to pursue a life of being an artist, especially if you have never painted before. This does not mean you can’t swim around in your dreams and future adventures. That’s the magic and excitement of life especially when it comes to manifesting our dreams!

Don’t forget we have a New Moon occurring in Pisces in just two days, so it’s a great time ti sit down and come up with what ideas you want to manifest during this lunar cycle.

 

Happy Thursday everyone!

Sharing ideas and progressive thoughts will benefit you today! 14/03/18

The Moon is in Aquarius.

Retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio semi squares Saturn in Capricorn.

The Moon continues its transit through independent, tech savvy Aquarius today. This makes for a friendly, engaging,  interesting but basically quiet day.You may discover with this lunar and Aquarius energy that you are able to  open your mind to areas of thinking that have not been available to you in the past or you may have had blockages to in the past. Use this Air energy and get exploring, discover the unusual, experience the new. Talk to others that you may before were not interesting you will be pleasantly surprised. Share those ideas you learn and listen to what others are sharing as well.

Retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio semi squares Saturn in Capricorn. This does cause some tension and can create friction between our reality, our day dreams and the excitement of the bigger picture. Saturn  in Capricorn wants order and structure, whilst Jupiter on the other hand wants to explore, expand and go deep into the unknown. Today just act before we think and think before we act,. Ask yourself  is this really the best for me and the people involved in the situations or conversations you have with others today! Jupiter is here to remind us that we need to grow and expand in order to change, but Saturn is also here to remind us to be practical and make these changes for our greater good.

 

Happy Hump day gang!

Venus in Aries squares Saturn in Capricorn.

The Sun in Pisces trines retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio.

Today will give us a mixed bag of emotions and experiences. The energy will continues to bring us face to face with excitement or anxiety t of differing points of view. Keep your chin up, have faith and a mind open and try to see things from different perspectives.

Venus, the planet of love, finances and beauty, forms a challenging Square to restrictive, mastery and determined Saturn.Venus and Saturn will make us get real and it gets us to ask our self when it comes to relationships, Love and Money what do we value? What is our self-worth? What are we happy to put up with and compromise with?Although Saturn can bring up tense feelings, it will bring awareness to any issue or limitations in these areas and can bring you to a place of peace.This placement will hold us in its grip for several days but it is going to highlight what is working and what isn’t. Remember, it  is important to consider what actions you will or can take to move forward or progress during this cycle.

Today the Sun in Pisces forms a flowing trine to Jupiter  in Scorpio. This cycle first happened last year in October 2017, it was very shortly after Jupiter entered Scorpio to be fact. Expect optimism, excitement and confidence as these are key energies we will feel during this transit.This Trine aligns the planet of abundance and expansion with our higher ego and self! We are able now to see our gifts from a deeper perspective, we see and feel deeper and we have an urge to experience the world around us. This time is great for spiritual and emotional work, we desire to grow, increase our luck, expand, have fun, travel and have faith in life!

Have a great day, count your blessing and simple smile and enjoy your day!

Disseminating Moon in Sagittarius.

This Sagittarius Moon forms a trine to Mercury.

Jupiter stations retrograde at 23° Scorpio.

Late last night, the Disseminating Moon entreated Sagittarius. When the Moon is in Sadge the energy is right for us to let our hair down and blow off some steam. Your mood is upbeat, uplifting, adventures and fun-loving today! Find some friends and go out for lunch or dinner! You will want to be social and as Sagittarius is a fire sign, your focus will also be on your physical vitality and appearance. Get dressed up and show yourself off today! Sagittarius is also wonderful at encouraging us to study and be curious of others, Sadge loves to learn through travel and the experience of other cultures.

This Sagittarius Moon forms an easy flowing trine to Mercury. This trines helps you this morning to begin your day with a sense of adventure, intellectual growth and fun mental stimulation.

Jupiter stations retrograde at 23° Scorpio. Bringing the planet of expansion, abundance and excess into focus. When we see planet’s that are stationary, their powers are stronger and exacerbated. As Jupiter is traditionally the planet of growth and expansion it can also be the push that drives us to go to far and overdo it. We can become excessive and self-righteousness. Jupiter in Scorpio is all about diving into the depths and into the shadows of our self. This is a great transit for inner work, shadow work and therapy ! The gift you will get through diving deep into the unknown can be profound, trust me, you will much freer and lighter with this self work. During this time we need to consider what has been expanded, explored and  brought to our attention since Jupiter entered Scorpio early last October 2017? What has been highlighted for you? How have you dealt with the things that have arisen? It’s a time to reflect and review where you have been and what you have been going through and how best to  proceed when Jupiter moves forward on July 10th, 2018.

 

 

Have a great day!

This Scorpio Moon sextiles Saturn in Capricorn

The Moon enters Scorpio.

Mercury enters Aires.

The Moon leaves behind balanced harmonious Libra and enters Sassy Scorpio this afternoon. The Moon in Scorpio is deep, we gain emotional intelligence and we are  in touch  with our intuition. We also can gain perspective of others motives and intentions.

This Scorpio Moon sextiles Saturn in Capricorn. Saturn is about Karma, life lessons and structure, and in Capricorn is about how we lay these foundations and work towards our goals. That means today with the Scorpio energy added into the mix that the decisions we make today will be based off our emotional feelings.

Mercury moves out of Pisces and into Aries. The planet that rules over our communication and metal realm in Aires means that we can get very firm and pushy in the way we want to get our message across. the energy shifts from yin to yang, from feminine to masculine. Communication will be passionate and persistence this month! We can be blunt and to the point it I our thoughts and communication with others. This is a great transit for saying what we think and doing what we want as it will be important for us to get our truth out there. However, be careful in how you speak or the message you are trying to get across and you may tend to be unfiltered today and during this transit! Just remember we have to be aware of how we speak or act and without haste or impulsively in the coming weeks. Don’t put your foot where your mouth is!

Today our feelings will be heightened and that will be the most import aspect of your day today in terms of what you do today, so plans and decisions will be based on your emotions today not facts and figures.

Happy Monday!

Resist Temptation 28/02/2018.

The Moon is in Leo.

Mercury squares Mars.

Venus conjoins Neptune Pisces.

As we wake we up today pay attention to your thoughts and the way you communicate.Sometimes this can be easier said than done, as we have the Moon in Leo connecting with Mars in Uranus and Jupiter. When the Moon is in Leo, the energy is playful, intense and dramatic, you will feel confident and that the world around you is your stage and audience and naturally you will feel the urge to show off!

However, its important to resist that temptation with Mercury, the planet of thought, expression and communication is forming a not so nice challenging square aspect to aggressive Mars. This Mercury-Mars square will just stir up in us impatience, frustrations,agitation, aggression and disagreements. If the temptation to act on impulsive emotions or anger arises today, hold back and watch your tongue. Avoid conflict or a verbal battle that will not get you anywhere. Ask yourself before you speak, Does this get me anywhere positive? Is it positive and helpful? Is it necessary? The toughest lesson can be when to pick your battles in the heat of moment and being silent when you feel hard done by. The Moon’s  square to Jupiter will add to the mix  some tendency for us to go overboard especially in regards to our interactions, communications with others.

 

Venus conjoins Neptune Pisces, aligning our higher self with the lower heart in expansive ways! When Venus and Neptune get together the energy is dreamy. The energy is romantic, spiritual, imaginative and mystical. A gate way is open to unconventional love and healing. It’s also great for the creative and artistic folk to be inspired. Just be careful that you are not seeing the world through rose-coloured glasses and the line between reality and fantasy is blurred.

 

 

Happy Hump Day!

We see the First Quarter Moon in Gemini.

Mercury in Pisces semisquares Uranus in Aries.

We see the First Quarter Moon in the social and restless Gemini. As you wake up today you are being asked to look back and remember what intentions and seeds you planet at the New Moon.What actions need to be taken to progress with these manifestations and goals?

The Gemini Moon forms a challenging square aspect to the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Neptune. There can be confusion and you may be at odds with the mental depth Gemini energy provides to all this Pisces energy which is over emotional.  You maybe left  feeling conflicted,  uncomfortable and confused. If you found yourself having internal conflicts especially between your mind and heart don’t be to hard on yourself , just listen to what is being brought to your attention without over analyzing it. It will pass if you let it and try not to take any of the discomfort too seriously.

We also see Mercury in Pisces semisquares Uranus in Aries later today! This can and will create tension between our higher mind and that part that rules that part of us that wants to rebel and be unconventional. Expect the unexpected today, especially in regards to communication with others and spontaneous ideas. Today even though the energy conflict each other you may have surprise Aha moments and revelations exposed.

 

Happy Friday!

 Venus in Pisces semisquares Uranus in Aries

The Moon is in Aries.

When the Moon is in Aries, you feel like you have been given an energy drink! The day is filled with high energy, impulsive and driven energy. Use this wisely, channel it and get things done it’s also wonderful for new beginnings, re assessing our goals, ambition, drive and we’re ready to take the initiative with enthusiasm. However, Aries has the tendency to take things to far, try to avoid conflict and if you feel that your temper is getting the best of you, re- direct your attention and don’t act on impulse! Exercise is a great outlet for stress, competitive sport can be a great motivator under the Aires Moon.

 

Venus in Pisces semisquares Uranus in Aries. This creates some unwanted tension and friction between the planet that rules love and beauty and the rebellious and revolutionary planet. When Venus is in the dreamy sign of Pisces our ideas of love and money are met with unrealistic exceptions at times. It as if we are wearing rose-coloured glasses and the truth is blurred! With Uranus in the mix our reality is brought to our attention, certain areas that Venus rules over that requires change (Even if we don’t see it yet) will be highlighted! Change is here, and its up to us whether we accept it and move forward especially in regards to our self-love and worth!

Happy Monday!
