Chiron stations Direct.

The Moon is in Cancer.

Today brings powerful transformations and connections, it will allow deep emotional states of expanded awareness. As Chiron stations direct at 24’19 Pisces. Chiron reaches its station after many months of retrograde motion (Since July 1st this year). Making the Wounded Healer the most powerful planet in the sky. Chiron is the planet that represents our inner healing and wounds that must be addressed in order for us evolve. Chiron also our represents deep spiritual wounds.

Emotional truths will surface especially in regards to matters we’ve been avoiding. It will also bring up thoughts and feelings of confusion. What emerges over the next few weeks may make you feel uneasy or uncomfortable, but it will hopefully drive you to recognise the things that can be changed and accept the things that can not, and hopefully motivate us to take action!

Chiron brings up our biggest, deepest, hidden wounds and pains, such as past and future rejection, feelings of inadequacy, acceptance, past heart breaks and boundaries. Chiron, as a wounded healer, first makes us face issues of low self-worth and self-denial and then forces us to learn to rise above these issues and grow on a soul level. Where does Chiron sit in your natal chart? This can point to where we have healing powers or where we may over-compensate in those areas.

tap into your emotions, dive deep into the Unconscious watery realms of the Soul!We have a chance to see things with new eyes and in a different light. Because some of our wound go deep, you have a powerful new chance to work hard to overcome those wound.

The Moon spends the day in Cancer, stimulating our desire to stick to a familiar, nurturing path and a warm safe environment.With all the carry on with Mercury and the Full Moon the Cancer Moon is a breath of fresh air as we can retreat in the safety and comfort of home, especially cleaning up, sorting out, cooking and caring for family. It’s also a great day to spend time with loved ones or nurturing and loving yourself. With Chiron stationing direct today and the Moon in Cancer we are more inclined to work on or with our sensitivities however our vulnerabilities may try to hold us back, but the Cancer Moon will help nurse and comfort our wounds.

Have a wonderful day!

Full Moon in Gemini and Mercury Turns Retrograde on 03/12/2017!

Published on by andycandypantsLeave a comment

Full Moon and Mercury Retrograde December, 2017.

This is the Christmas full Moon and it happens at 11 degrees in Gemini. The Full Moon has building up all month and now its reaches its fullest. It is fully illuminated by the Sun in Sagittarius and  is ready to shine down and share with us all this Gemini/Sadge  energy. Full Moons give us more energy, we get supercharged and we feel there is more going on behind the scenes. Being everything is at 11 degrees ie the Sun/ Moon which interesting, as the Moon is sitting at 11 degrees Gemini and if you look at Gemini its symbol is represented by 11. The number 11 is all about new doors opening, a new chapter, a new beginnings and opportunities, it’s about life changing decisions, marriages, partnership, new doors opening and new jobs.

This Full Moon has some significant energy presented to us this month. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, our thought process, travel and insight. This Full Moon has a great potential for us to make change in our life and to transform it. If you can picture this Full Moon as a magical door way (like Narnia) Opening us up to a magical new life of manifestations, new beginnings and abundance. Its going to be very impressive, and don’t be surprised by this all as 11:11 brings in the help of our guides, god, the universe, angels, ancestors and guardian angels to help you along the way to get you to the moment of awakening and insight.

The Gemini Full Moon brings full illumination to what occurred at the Scorpio New Moon last month on November 18th, 2017. Take out your New Moon wish book, because whatever your focus was on or whatever you began at the New Moon will now show its results, unless the universe has better plans for you!

Traditionally a Full Moon is a time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems. Release what no longer serves us or holds us back. Out with the old physical, emotional, spiritual and mental baggage to make room for bigger better things. Of course, however we might want to exercise some care and caution while doing so especially in the way we talk, communicate and process our thoughts. As Mercury did station retrograde on the same day. Which means communications, our thinking and taking in information has the potential to be scrambled or misinterpreted and what is coming out of us may not particularly rational, our dialogue can be misread and the way we communicate could be one-sided or misinterpreted.

The Sun is at 11 degrees in Sagittarius and is 180 degrees away from the Moon illuminating it. The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity axis is some what divergent as Gemini represents our “lower mind” and Sagittarius represents our “higher mind” The Sun in Sagittarius itself is all about a higher learning and understanding. Sagittarius persuades us to think in a far broader manner,we seek mystical knowledge, expand our learning in unconventional ways. We want to connect to the divine and embark on care free adventures. Where as a Gemini encourages us to think logically, practically and factual.

Those of us who are abstract thinkers, this Full Moon is really going life the veil and help up reach that higher self and learning, meditating will be great to connect with these other realms and absorbs new information

The Full Moon is almost exact square to Neptune in Pisces at 11 degrees. Neptune in Pisces is happy, it’s a water sign of dreaming illusion, INTUITION, fantasy, denial and escapism. This can points to confusion, as the Gemini Full Moon wants to be clear, logical with clarity,but when this planet ( Neptune) is involved, it may make things foggy and unclear.

Traditionally Full Moons are about clearing out the clutter, releasing what no longer serves us, gaining clarity and recognition, and Gemini energy especially demands we see reality and logic. Of course with this Neptune’s square to the Moon reality may be hard to see unfortunately. Be smart and grab what information is given to you. If you are in denial and outright avoiding reality or are unsure with what information or situations you are given, retreat, go home snuggle in your safe place and sift through the information that is given. Your guts or “intuition” will let you know whats right for you.

The ruler of this Gemini Moon is Mercury, who may I add just stationed retrograde late last night. Mercury has turned retrograde at 29° Sagittarius. Mercury has a wonderful way to make us return to a past problem or discussion and revise and review, but on a positive note with a critical eye. Communication within yourself and others can be misunderstood and miscommunication, it’s important to keep in mind we are in Mercury Retrograde and that we don’t have the full story and information the same as others are being affected just like us. There are easy ways to survive Mercury Retrograde over the next 3 weeks. Get a notebook and a pen out. Make a list of everything that you have begun but haven’t completed in the past few months, house jobs, issues that have been bugging you, that certain talk with someone you have been avoiding, organisation of your car, work and home, that art piece, your tax, assignments etc.. During the Retrograde, focus on yourself and get to work on accomplish what is on that list! If your mind wonders like me, make sure you accomplish only what is on this list maybe have a reward system in place for when you are done, and hay there is no better feeling than ticking boxes off a to do list.

Remember don’t be afraid, worried, or concerned! Mercury retrograde brings us a great gift, the perfect opportunity to wrap up loose ends and cut cords! The shadow side of Mercury retrograde is that yes travel plans can have hiccups, communication between others can get misinterpreted and lead to problems, appointments booked by yourself, but you turn up and it was never booked in at all, computers and technology can crash,emails and memos can get lost. Anything that Mercury rules over can or may go wrong! Most important don’t be tempted to start new projects, start a new jobs, sign documents (Unless necessary) take on new commitments or commit to new relationships.

 

Happy Full Moon and Mercury Retrograde.

Venus enters Sagittarius 01/12/2017!

Venus enters Sagittarius.

Mars in Libra opposes retrograde Uranus in Aries.

Early this morning Venus moves out of Scorpio and entered freedom-loving Sagittarius. Venus is the planet that represents our deepest values, beauty, money, love, relationships and thus shifts the Goddess of beauty from water energy to fire energy. Venus brings our awareness to the beauty of each sign. When Venus was in Scorpio the energy was passionate, intense and possessive and now that Venus is in Sagittarius we can find our self valuing our freedom, appreciating spontaneous acts of love and grand gestures. On the other hand, some may prefer to explore, be alone and free, reach out and expand. Now, as Venus moves into Sagittarius, the lessons of love take a lighter turn. Venus in Sagittarius is also a great time to explore, travel and expand our hearts, minds and all the beauty that surrounds us.

Venus will remain in Sagittarius until December 25th, 2017. It is time to think of love, money, and beauty as a philosophical quest, as an extension of us, as a time to be free and seek the space you need to be creative. Its a time to love on your terms, to let your mind expanded and a time to let the bonds that hold you back loosen as you fall into the arms of love this month. However do not fall into the trap of the shadow side of Venus in Sadge, such as that you can be seduced by the idea of a sudden flash of fortune, new love interest and be ready to drop the world in pursuit of what you perceive is happiness. Thinking that the grass is always greener on the other side, and that your actions and words don’t affect others around you. Being to impulsive and reckless and going to big and to far, beyond a point of no return.

Another highly significant planetary occurrence happens today an opposition between action-taking Mars forms and dynamic, unexpected and revolutionary Uranus. Creating tension between our will and drive and the part of us related to our inner rebel and revolutionary self! This cycle although it seems very doom and gloom helps us get more direction in regards to the part of us that may need courage to take revolutionary actions that need to take in place in your own life and for the humanitarian needs not just in our own life but the collective lives around the world. This cycle between Mars and Uranus is approximately a two-year cycle of bringing courage and direct action and it begun back in February this year. Looking back, carefully consider what began at that time, what was your vision and what actions have you taken to reach this vision? If you have planets or points between 23 and 27 degrees of Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn), in your birth chart, you can expect this will have direct significance in your personal life.

Happy Friday!

Temper Temper! 30/11/2017.

 The Moon is  in Aries before it transit Taurus.

Mars opposes Uranus.

With the Moon still  in Aries this morning, you may find yourself energetic and quick to act with courage or force. You may notice a desire to take risks, or a feeling of being more egotistical that normally would not appeal to you. Later this afternoon the Moon enters grounded Taurus. Bringing a steadfast calm and grounded energy to our personal and emotional environment. The Moon feels at home in Taurus and so will we, getting all cosy with the added bonus of indulging in the finer things in life sch as comfort food, wine and cheese and relaxing. However, we can have the tendencies to over indulge so if your watching your weight for Christmas and New Years don’t give too much into temptation today!

Early this morning, the Moon makes aspects to both dynamic Mars and eccentric unexpected Uranus. You tend to be focused on yourself and may be impatient with others and easily angered. We also may find our selves getting easily agitated and quite tense. Tempers could flare up today and we can act very impulsive and reckless. It’s a great day to take care with your actions and words. Even if you feel restricted or get confronted by others and their words today, center yourself and find balance there is not point throwing oil onto a fire. On a more positive note. this can be a time of more courage to free ourselves from certain restrictive situations we have been struggling with and to help us to push ourselves to break out of the routine and try new things.

 

Happy Thursday!

at 12:26am mars in libra quincunxes retrograde chiron in pisces- creating tension and friction between the will, warrior and drive and the Wounded Healer planetoid. mars/chiron brings up deep old wounds and pain around our masculine sides or around men in our lives. any issues around anger, aggression, taking action, taking a stand, saying no or setting boundaries can arise for us to face today. both libra and pisces are signs that tend to over focus on others at the expense of the self. not losing the self in others and being able to set and maintain boundaries is key for personal health as well as the health of any relationships we may be in. it’s a great day to be in therapy or getting body work. any healing modalities utilized today can assist you in getting into your core wound- not so you can stay stuck there but so that you can truly feel ALL if it and release the Unconscious hold it has on you.

Early today, it can be difficult to assert ourselves effectively without provoking, annoying, or concerning others. The trick is to combine both sensitivity and directness instead of going for either/or. The Moon continues its transit of independent, competitive Aries until 3:39 PM EST, after which its transit of Taurus may help settle us down. However, we’re building to a Mars-Uranus opposition, exact tomorrow morning, that’s potentially quite tense and can stimulate impatience. Tempers can flare and a tendency to take careless risks or jump into premature action is possible. We tend to challenge situations that make us feel restricted or people if they seem to be trying to hold us back. Arguments and confrontations are likely. Positively, this can be a time of more courage to free ourselves from restrictive circumstances or to push ourselves to break out of the routine and try new things. Confrontations may help clear the air.

Wednesday, November 29, 2017.

Today brings with it a free-flowing, trine aspect between the feisty Aries Moon and the idealistic Sagittarius Sun. This fully engaged fire energies in the air today will be very affirmative, driven and an expressive day… Especially for those who have planets between 6° – 8° of the Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius). This trine between the Sun and Moon helps us keep our emotions and intentions positively aligned.

By this evening the aggressive, impatient Aries Moon forms a challenging square aspect with powerful, transformative Pluto. This Moon’s square to Pluto can cause conflict between the part of us that wants to push ahead and break through obstacles and the logic part of us needing to use strategy. Power struggles and dynamics can also happen late this afternoon. You are probably best off working on your own today, although early in the day, it will be easier to take others into consideration. It would also be wise if you felt the need to assert your self, assert control or you start to feel hot-headed, passive-aggressive and impatient with others, to spend the evening alone or allow a lot of space to all concerned, especially with all this impulsive energy floating around.

Allow clarity and confidence to embrace you today as this courageous Aries Moon grows toward a clever and inquisitive Gemini Full Moon on Sunday. Find a balance between sensitivity and assertiveness today and remember if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.

 

Happy Hump day!

A Serious Tone to today! 28/11/17!

Mercury in Sagittarius conjunts Saturn in Sagittarius.

In the early hours of this morning, a new cycle begins between Mercury and Saturn join together as they bring your attention to conversations, effort and work. This means we are getting in a serious committal frame of mind. Both planets are in the last degrees of Sagittarius, which means we are being asked to look at very significant issues from the perspective of our highest understanding. We see Mercury turning retrograde on Sunday, and then we see this aspect between them both happen again on January 13th 2018. During this time we are being asked and been given time to contemplate the serious intent involved in regards to our lives, work and life lessons.

Saturn enters Capricorn on December 20th, 2017. This means we will be called to   stabilize our thinking, really focus and get clear on what direction you want to go in regards to your work, growth, and your greater understanding of yourself and the world.When they join together in January, they’ll be in the early degrees of Capricorn and asking that we go to a deeper place of  responsibility and integrity!

Mercury represents our rational mind, communication and our everyday expression. If you have your birth chart yo can see where Mercury sits in to have a deeper understanding of what makes you curious, and what areas of life mentally appeal and stimulate you. Mercury in your chart reveals how you get your point across and in what style. Saturn is the Master planet, that is the teacher of life lessons and karma! When these two form a conjunction it shows up in our life areas that require responsibility, contemplative, and seriousness. This aspect activates our logical minds, we will seek a higher meaning and information and wont worry our time on superficial matters. We are goal orientated and focus on realistic outcomes instead of fanciful dreams with this planetary aspect. However this aspect’s shadow side, we can be over focused and obsessed with the detail, work and the bigger picture. We become OCD and overlooking the effect we have on others in regards to our actions in reaching these goals. We get hung up on making mistakes or failing! During this period try to look at the bright side when things don’t work out and learn to laugh at your own mistakes and take some time out to laugh and enjoy life. Don’t become to over focused and obsessed on the big picture that you lose sight on why you begun it in the first place!

 

Happy Tuesday!

Mercury in Sagittarius squares retrograde Chiron in Pisces.

Mercury in Sagittarius squares retrograde Chiron in Pisces. This transit is worthy of our attention today as it will bring tension between our conscious mind and our intellect with the Wounded Healer! This early morning challenging square aspect with Mercury, the planet of communication and our thoughts to Chiron, who represents that part of us to do with deep wounds and the healing of ones self has the potential to stir up unwanted energy and mishaps.

With this aspect  in play today, your communications could hurt or on a positive note could heal. Our minds are restless, and some may be difficult to read the intentions behind what is being said, or interpreted, misunderstandings and communication breakdowns can occur, so clarity is vitally important.

Chiron has the magic ability to allow old wounds to arise and pain can get triggered in the mind, as well as our self  communication and communication with others! Watch your thoughts, your actions, your words, your intentions, beliefs and perceptions. Check to make sure you are not misunderstanding others or being misunderstood. Staying open to not knowing is actually the key, keep a clear mind and detach from outcomes is the true wisdom and understanding to getting through today! If you don’t have anything nice to say… don’t say anything at all. If you are feeling the pressure today, find a healthy outlets for emotions and feelings.

 

Just a heads up we do have  Mercury’s upcoming retrograde happening on the 2/12/17. This is also the 1st of 3 Mercury/Chiron aspects occurring over the next few months. Keep this in mind and pay attention to incoming information, repetitive situations and communications that are arising up right now, as they will be something you are meant to be healing and dealing with on this Mercury/Chiron journey with in the coming couple of months.

 

Happy Friday!

The Moon enters Aquarius.

The Sun in Sagittarius sextiles the Moon in Aquarius.

 Venus in Scorpio semisextiles Mars in Libra.

 

The Moon leaves hard-working Capricorn and enter innovative, creative and humanitarian Aquarius. You may notice that you are charged and that you are not as attached to your own emotions, you think and feel in a more progressive way and are able to be more objective regarding situations and circumstances you find yourself in today. Aquarius is an energy that likes to live outside the box, a little rebellious and future orientated. Today put your wildest, wackiest and creative foot forward.

Today this quirky Aquarius Moon forms a lovely harmonizing sextile to the adventurous, fun seeking Sagittarius Sun. This gives us an opportunity and an opening to an evening of events, people, of visionary explorations and cultures. Maybe its a good time to sit down with a friend, partner or yourself and plan a trip that incorporates all of the above!

Venus in Scorpio semisextiles Mars in Libra. Goodness of love and beauty and the God of our will and drive meet today, and what no better energy than when these two meet up in the sky for a passionate, harmonious dance! This connection between divine lovers makes today great for loving relationships, passion and creativity! Today with Scorpio and Libra energy it’s about deepening and strengthening your current relationships, to learn, grow and understand where each other come from. Make an effort to engage with loving relationships , business relationships and friendships.

 

Happy Thursday!

Dream Big! 22/11/17.

Wednesday November 22nd. 

 Neptune stations direct at 11’27 Pisces. 

The Moon is in Capricorn.

When you wake up today you may notice that you had some imaginative and vivid dreams. As Neptune is making a significant appearance today, and that makes this planet of mysticism, dreaming and illusion the most powerful planet in the sky.

Neptune stations  direct at 11° Pisces. Neptune is the water planet that represents our dreams, intuition, creativity, spirituality, unconditional love and mysticism and with it turning direct (as Neptune has been moving retrograde since mid-June) it’s like we are back to business. We regain a sense of hope for our dreams and our future. We get that sense back that we can make things happen for our self once again. Since Neptune turned retrograde back in June, it has really pushed us to ask our self as well as reevaluate an important dream that we have had, or an artistic venture, or our spiritual path. What big dream have you been holding onto since then? If you don’t know, allow your intuition to guide you. For a big clue to what area of your life is being activated in this way, consider where Pisces falls in your chart? For me it’s in my 6th house! The veil between the worlds is thin when Neptune stations and the key to using this energy is in meditation, journaling, reflection and introspection. 

However, now that Neptune station today, the shadow side is that some may have a hard time focusing, as we can get lost in day dreaming and find it difficult to focus long enough really tackle a task. Neptune energy also reflects and can presented in the form of delusion, denial, avoidance of reality, playing the victim and refusing to see the other side of the story.

It is a time to confront any emotions, addictions, repetitive patterns that don’t serve a purpose to your higher self and its especially not a great time to make definitive decisions as it’s not quite clear which way is up and which way is down with all this dreamy water energy floating around.  

This is now a time to illuminate your dreams, seek inspiration from the world around you to get creative. You will have the motivation to work towards a better future, one where you see yourself happy. Yay!

The Moon is still in grounded Capricorn. We will want to keep our expectations realistic under the influence and although sometimes pessimistic. The Capricorn Moon will form a challenging aspect to transformative and also, destructive Pluto. This means today especially when interacting with others watch out for power struggles as we may have tendencies to engage in coercive power dynamics with others. Stop, count to three in your head and speak from a place of integrity and responsibility for our own words and actions.  

I over head this “saying” or “prayer” toady and thought it quite fitting…

Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.  

Today is about the things you accept and the things you can and cannot change!Tap into Neptune’s energy and find the wisdom.

Happy Hump Day!

We Seek a Higher Knowing! 21/11/2017.

The Sun enters Sagittarius.

The Moon enters Capricorn.

Venus in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn.

The big news today comes when the Sun, following her haul through the deep, mysterious and passionate waters of Scorpio, now enters fun-loving, adventurous  Sagittarius! Shifting the conscious self and our ego from water to fire, introspection to outer focus, from emotional to explorative. Over the coming month, we have an inner calling to be spontaneous, to reach out to understand and see the bigger picture, we want to explore and to see the perspective of others.

The emotional environment of today day turns a little more serious as the Moon enters hard-working and realistic Capricorn. When the Moon is in Capricorn we shift to more of a grounded practical energy. Hard work and facts become a priority today no time for funny business!!

Venus in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn. This cycle which begun back in November 2016, think back to this time? What profoundly transforming shifts in regards to love relationships, personal values, deeper levels of intimacy and truth have been realized and explored? When the planet of beauty and love aligns and joins forces with the planet of transformation, their energies are exacerbated, this energy equals passion, intensity, depth and abundance! Since November 2016,  the cycle between Venus and Pluto has proceeded forward as the energy between these two grew, it came to full fruition in August of this year and now we come to a closing sextile aspect between them.

A new cycle between these powerful forces will be activated in early January of 2018, offering us an opportunity to activity plan for the new cycle! What new level of love relationships do you want to reach? Where do you plan to create more beauty and love in your life? What values or morals do you want to strengthen what do you want to ultimately transform your future? Begin now to plan for the future you dream of. This sextile also empowers and extends the cycle between Jupiter and Venus that began last week.

However it is important to remember that not only does Venus/Pluto astrologicaly speaking, is great  for deepening into intimacy with your self and others, it can also have a darker side… so please be mindful and watch out for jealously,  possessiveness,  and the desire to be in control or ultimately give away your power in Love and money situations.

 We are still in the Scorpio New Moon phase!! There is still time to make your manifestation wish list if you haven’t already done so.

Happy Tuesday!
