Are you suffering symptoms of Mercury Retrograde?

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

Yes , we are in a Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde is great at helping bring to our attention those shadow parts of us, parts we may of felt that didn’t need healing. Mercury retrograde is great at highlighting where the healing lies and the truth can be found. In Mercury Retrograde communication, travel, technology, equipment, travel and contracts can be upside down, backwards, misinterpreted, breakdowns and unnecessary disagreements occur.

At work, you can find yourself frustrated even though you’re sure that you’ve explained yourself clearly, people around you do the opposite and your fail-proof computer crashes. You experience equipment and mechanical breakdowns of all types even at home, when out and your car!

Mercury does rule the mind, mental clarity, talking, self-expression so all these over this period can become  unreliable, filled with misinformation where important data is missing or misunderstood. During this period we should watch for too hasty communications as Mercury rules our communications and thought process and well in Aires we can become very direct ,assertive and self-centered. Say what must be said but try to remember to do so with kindness and compassion.

Mercury Retrograde in Aires gives us the courage to take action on something you have struggled with over the past few weeks. What curve balls have you been dealing with over the past month? What repetitive issues seem to be surfacing? Career, a friendship, your living circumstance, a draining relationship?

If you  have found yourself or parts of yourself being exposed, and in order to work on yourself you are stressed you must remember that you also need to love yourself unconditionally. When there is a lot going on give yourself some space, as much as the mind wants order, you will find when too much is going on we get agitated and stressed. When there is times of stress you must remember you are feeling a lot of things, so give yourself some space. Give yourself permission to experience those emotions instead of categorising it, organising it. Just let what needs to be revealed,happen. In these topsy upside and can be dark days of stress and frustration use your energy and see the small joys and blessing in your day. Even though you may be suffering and want to go on strike, see the small happy moments in the day and the lesson in the bad situations! Don’t stuff your feelings away,

The discomfort  and madness we are going through and experience on any level in Mercury Retrograde or not there is a choice to choose love and happiness! You can love someone and be mad, you can be frustrated but still caring, go with the flow, be present to everything that’s going on during this period, and don’t disqualify it because there is discomfort!! It often takes deep courage to admit to your mistakes and it is likely that is a necessary part of the conversation you must have. We all make mistakes, take responsibility and move forward with determination and love.

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!

Full Moon in Pisces 2017.

Published on by andycandypants7 Comments

Full Moon in Pisces 06/09/2017.

This is going to be a power Full Moon in Pisces, as it will be the first Full Moon after the powerful New Moon in Leo Solar Eclipse.. Eclipse are very powerful, they open up doorways and are supercharged . A New Moon for those who aren’t sure on the meanings of Luna cycles, are about new beginnings, as the Moon enters into the new cycle. This Solar eclipse was highly charged and activated new areas in our life, opened up new door ways and new paths we want to follow or change in regards to our self. Now at the Full Moon an influx of new information in regards to these new pathways and plans will be activated as the light of the Moon illuminates and shines down upon us. We will get new ways of accessing the powers to fully reach our potential also release what no longer serves us and is holding us back from reaching this new awakened higher self!

Its being about authentic and standing in the Full Moon of our divine self.

This month the Full Moon is in Dreamy Pisces. This means for us down on earth, the Full Moon is drawing in and illuminating us with Pisces energy! The Full Moon in Pisces is at 13 degrees.

This is interesting because all of this Pisces energy, especially our emotional certainty is going to come in strong and it will be a wonderful opportunity to look at your feelings and to identify whats really going on with yourself.. This Full Moon will be an emotional one, it is in Pisces the last sign of the Zodiac that rules the 12th house. Pisces rules the realm of mysticism, spirituality, intuition,creativity, feelings, companion, empathy, sharing, community, caring for others and considering others needs.. However this Full Moon these feelings of belonging, caring and compassion belong to you. Meaning that you will be sacrificing some time for yourself this Full Moon, drawing your attention to “what about me, and my feelings”. Over the next few days you will take a stock of whats going on for you, not around you and dig deep into what you want and gain some authentic answers. So get a pen and paper and start writing, emotions, repetitive thoughts, feelings and so on!

Back to the Full Moon in Pisces at 13 degrees, 3 plus 1, which adds up to the master number 4. Four vibrates at a level of security, structure and foundation. In numerology 4 is down-to-earth, dependable, hard-working, reliable, methodical, conscientious. Four is about stability. It’s the emperor of the tarot deck. The emperor is depicted as sitting high on his concrete seat or throne made of a sturdy strong foundation. Strong enough to build an empire on, but unless you have that strong foundation, especially in regards to your emotional  security you wont be able to build on it because you may not have the security you need to support yourself and your dreams. To build yourself up and make a concrete foundation for your life, you need to really figure out whats going on for yourself. This Full Moon please,  really slow down and stop,  identify what your flaws are, or what cracks you feel within yourself that may need strengthening. This Full Moon it’s about laying things out in front of you, seeing whats there, and really loving yourself regardless of what you see in front of yourself. It’s about self forgiveness, acceptance, remembering there will be certain areas or parts of yourself that you may not be happy with, parts you want to change and parts that you can’t change. Loving yourself means accepting all  of these areas and loving every part just as much as the others, and thank you Universe this Full Moons gives us such a great opportunity to release what is no longer serving us, what no longer needs to take up room within our self, what needs to be transmuted and turned into a positive aspect. It’s an emotional release, and Pisces Moon gives us a great aspect to be on the outside looking in and not stuck on the inside trying to look up and out on the horizon.

To make this Full Moon deepen even more, today in conjunct’s with Neptune – in simple terms it blends it energy with Neptune!! Neptune is the planet of dreaming, imagination, this planet rules Pisces, so even more water and Pisces energy is being brought about and blended with this Full Moon.So our emotional state will be very heightened, Neptune gives us the gift of lifting the veil and going deeper into our self more than ever. Neptune is sitting at 12 degrees, which is 1 degree away from the Full Moon. 12 adds up to 3, and 3 in numerology vibrates to communication, exchange of ideas, expression and exchange of information and for us this is happen with our self. It’s really time to learn and discover your true self. It’s so important to take stock take of our self, what you have, what is being put forth, what needs to be brought in to offer the best possible self to the world and your divine authentic self.

 This is a super mystical Full Moon on the 6th September! Its energy is best handled when we can connect with our inner psychic, guru and higher self.

The Moon is known to represent our emotions and If you want to live in alignment with the universe, connect with yourself through a Full Moon ritual, yoga , Meditation, journaling and please try to go easy on yourself and just be in the present! Don’t get caught up to much on the urgency and impulses of your emotions, and how others come across as everyone’s emotions are a tad what little crazy at the moment , hence why so many of us go a little crazy at the time of the Full Moon.

Release, Revive, Nurture and Heal this Full Moon.

The Moon in Taurus.

Venus in Cancer contraparallels retrograde Pluto in Capricorn.

The last quarter Moon is in Taurus all day, but while we seek out peace and harmony and the gluttony pleasures of life and you can achieve it in some ways, but be warned these energies work well together and both have a passion for food and overindulging!As much as the Moon loves relaxing and being sensual in Taurus getting to lazy could be high on your list, but if you can Do treat yourself to a massage if you can.

Early this Morning Venus in Cancer contraparallels retrograde Pluto in Capricorn. Reverberating the energies of the goddess of love and beauty and the lord of the underworld and death and rebirth when it is exact opposition tomorrow.  This Venus/Pluto that occurs over the next 48 hours will amplify and exacerbate both energies that these planets represent. When Venus is taken to Pluto the energy can unearth negative emotions such as possessiveness jealousy and manipulation in relationships, try to avoid power/control dynamics and struggles! This opposition can also affect our financial situations as well! Don’t let money and jealously come between friends, partners and work! Look out for hidden shadow situations and hidden energies that could be running and fueling you behind the scene.

 

Happy Monday!

La Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius 2017

Published on by andycandypants2 Comments

 

Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius!

On the 8th August we see a partial luna eclipse. Luna and solar eclipse are potent as their effects can last up to 6 months. The last one we experienced was in February of this year. Now this month we have two lots of eclipse here in August. How exciting!

 

A little background on eclipses. lunar eclipses are massive full Moons. As the Earth moves and rotates it comes between the Sun and the Moon, thus resulting in blocking the Sun’s light and a shadow being cast on the Moon. This shadow of an eclipse is not total, it is partial, so it  is not fully dark. So we will only see a small portion of the moon go dark.

Full Moons are known too brings things to crisis point or a climax. With the shadow of the earth sweeping across part of this Full Moon, it can symbolize the unconscious part of our self. lunar eclipses are great for bringing to Light the hidden shadow areas of our self and our life that are not being looked at ( much to people’s dismay). What has been surfacing within you of late? have you been grumpy, snappy or moody? maybe its your soul trying to tell you something, sit in silence and listen!

Something to remember, Eclipses are not by their own nature good or bad. If you cringe at the thought of Full Moons and Eclipse bringing things to light, or things we tend to push down deep inside, maybe its time to stop twisting fate and accept what needs to be changed. Yes, they can sweep in stir things up but they also move things forward in your life! Eclipse’s can be dramatic and can be both exhilarating and scary.

It’s important to think about the signs involved too and what they represent. As we have the Sun in playful Leo and the Moon in humanity Aquarius. This Leo/Aquarius Axis like with all oppositions, gives us an opportunity, you can either focus on what divides or work together to create unity out of polarity.

The Sun is shining Leo energy down onto the Moon in Aquarius. The Sun in Leo is energised, fun, loving. It’s really fiery and playful, and now the Moon is picking up on this energy. However Aquarius is a sign that loves being of service, its humanitarian its intellect, it’s using the other side of your brain and thinking outside the box. Its forward and very future orientated.

So now this Moon will shower us here on earth with this Aquarian energy. We will feel that we need to help others, be of service, doing positive things for people. A window will be opening up and we get a chance to really help someone out, to really help others that are suffering.

Aquarius rules the realm of the collective rather than the individual (Like Leo). This eclipse will help expand your energy and think about what’s good for everyone,
So some of you may experience issues or awkwardness around fitting in or not during this eclipse. Questions can come up at this time like where do I belong? Who do i feel comfortable to team up with? However the uncertainty of fear of comparing yourself and over thinking if other people don’t get who you are, and what you are trying to achieve.

The Sun shines bright when it is in Leo, It illuminates and beams down on you like you are center stage.The Sun finds it hard to shine in Aquarius because it has to share the limelight. Leo energy is creative, energetic, passionate! This aspect of the eclipse is about finding and revealing your identity, unearthing your unique skills and talents, helping you shed old fears and encourages you to discover what makes you ‘you’.

Yes we will be showered with humanitarian energy, and creative loving Leo energy along with having an opportunity to help others and guess what this is an eclipse the effects of this will last 6 months so thank you God and the Universe for giving the world a chance to look out for others. To help others heal, we will take more care of each other, it will come naturally and without trying or forcing. How refreshing is this change!

So this Lunar Eclipse the question is, are you ready to shine bright, ready to use your positive qualities to help others, share your natural talents with the world, and make a difference?

 Have you tried a Full Moon Ritual  Full Moon Ritual

Happy Full Moon Day

The Full Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.

The Moon sextiles Uranus.

When we wake up today the Moon will be in Aquarius but not for long as it enters Pisces mid morning. We are in the last day of the Full Moon period so the energy is shifting as we move closer to the New Moon.

The Moon in Aquarius forms a harmonizing aspect with Uranus. The inventive energy from the Moon in Aquarius is heightened as we become  enthusiastic and hopeful, as we are playing with exciting ideas and making plans. Don’t expect this sharp, unconventional view to last as the Moon enters Pisces at lunch time today.

When the Full Moon is in Pisces sensitivity returns with a depth that may even surprise you. As the Moon moves through Pisces we find our self becoming more sensitive, vulnerable and elusive.  Today you experience a shift as your sense of vulnerability and your boundaries dissolve between yourself and others. Some can anticipate feeling deeply which can lead to tendencies toward becoming susceptible.

Today watch out for old addictions or bad habits surfacing along with self-pity, a sense of being lost, as it  happens more readily on a Pisces Moon Day. Don’t allow alcohol, food,  drugs, or other unhealthy vices and behaviors to carry you away. Take time for meditation or allow yourself to indulge in whimsical imagination such as getting lost in a book, movie or automatic writing if you are having a difficult time keeping your feet on the ground.

Have a great day!

The Sun trines Neptune and forms a challenging aspect to Jupiter.

The Moon is in Sagittarius.

The Moon squares Neptune in Pisces.

Today, much like yesterday you can expect to continue working with your own understanding and exploration of your path forward.We are all in the process of taking, understanding and thinking about  the cycles that were highly activated yesterday. Spend time on today engaging in an active contemplation of your philosophical and spiritual understanding, especially in regards to your place in the world.

The Moon is in adventurous, expansive  Sagittarius all day. What a great energy to open up to the world, plan a trip and hang out with friends. When the Moon is in Sagittarius we take a philosophical attitude and approach to problems or challenges in our lives. Mundane and emotionally draining activities and routine bore Sagittarius so get out and get active and experience a change in scenery will help restless energies today. This position of the Moon also encourages us to get out be spontaneous,is there a new way of thinking that calls your name? Search it out. Form a spirited approach to the world with a philosophical understanding.

The Moon squares Neptune in Pisces. Today is great for really zeroing down and focusing on your dreams. For some it can mean actually realizing what your dreams are. This can happen naturally through day dreaming or it can happen via by other people. You may also realize today that your dreams may involve other people, such as joining an organisation or teaming up with someone talented to help you with a project or hobby. The key for today is to take your dreams and making them a reality and it is especially favorable if your dreams involve others!!! Today could be the day you get the courage to talk to your dream girl and ask her out…

 

Have a great day.

The Moon is in Gemini and it forms a trine with Jupiter in Libra.

The Moon in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces and quincunxs Pluto on Capricorn.

Today  should be an active day of optimistic conversations and busy interactions with the Moon in Gemini.

The Moon is in Gemini all day, and it forms a trine with Jupiter in Libra. The Moon when in Gemini is very commutative and chatty, you feel comfortable communicating and exchanging ideas. Jupiter when in Libra is all about good luck and fortune and with the Libra influence its related to connecting with other people and relationships.

With lucky Jupiter in relationship-oriented Libra, our interactions will naturally drift toward cooperation, balance, kindness, and talk of intimate relationships.Today you will have a huge desire to communicate confidentiality and this could lead to new doors opening up with the added luck of Jupiter on your side.

The Moon in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces and quincunxs Pluto on Capricorn. It’s ideal for love, commuting with loved ones and people bringing people closer.

Today dream the dream, and try to make steps to make those dreams happen. Open up to the possibilities, as we know Pluto is all about transformation and in Capricorn its energy is grounded, hard-working and all about reality and the real physical world. However this challenging square with the Moon and Neptune, you may notice a lack of clarity or confusion which naturally has the ability to cloud your understanding of the situation. Check the facts and check in with yourself before executing any plans or words.

So, with all this love, romance and partnership floating around it’s absolutely ideal to start a new relationships, or strengthen the ones you already in. Make your self available, you will be pleasantly surprised what shows up! Just trust the universe, when it lines up like this you would be mad not to give it a chance. This is a rare week of love and romance so see whats available for you, see what can or might happen and because it its an ideal time to start a new relationship.

 

Have a great day, im off to New Zealand today how exciting!

Happy Solstice 21/06/2017

Wednesday June 21st, 2017.

The Moon is in Gemini.

The Sun moves into Cancer.

Mercury enters Cancer.

 

Good Morning  today depending where you wake up it will either be the Summer solstice, marking the first day of summer and the longest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere. Now us down in the southern hemisphere it is the winter solstice , and it is the shortest day of the year.

The Moon moves from Taurus into Gemini today and the Sun moves into marvelous Cancer. Happy Birthday to us Cancerians!!! We are now entering a period that is far less concerned with information and communication that being the Sun ( ego) was in Gemini but is now in Cancer. As the wheel of the seasons turns, so does our attention follows, along with our thoughts. Now the Sun moves into Cancer, it is a time about feelings, emotions, love, romance, nurturing, loyalty and intimacy. We turn toward family and nurture whats closest to our hearts, sentiment, security, home, and the past. This month is not about external information it’s all about the internal, ” How do I feel”, “How can I connect with other humans”

The Moon in Gemini still means we are clear thinking and we can communicate effectively , bring these aspects when you feel like over express emotions and how you feel. Don’t go over the top and leave your heart on your sleeve straight away don’t give everything away straight away.

Mercury also enters Cancer today. This is a superior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun happening at the 1st degree of cancer, can stimulate an epiphany! Something is coming to Light right now, through communication or information, it is  illuminating a matter, or a clearing of the air.

Don’t be surprised if at all this month if your thinking aligns with your feelings and your feelings take over your thoughts. This is a good time to articulate your emotions. We think, speak, and take in information on a deeper, more intuitive level. Remember to stay open-minded and hearted, because this conjunction will  allowing powerful conversations to merge, go ahead and express your emotions freely. However us Cancer Moon Children tend to run on our emotions without thinking before we speak, don’t let your passion or over thinking cloud the truth and judgement, stop, breath, reflect and consult another if needed for an opinion before you execute your words. Some of us can be a tad hyper-sensitivity in our interactions. Some may take offense quickly. Stay true to yourself and the Universe will guide your way.

 

Have a great day!

20/6/2017 Its Tuesday its time to Love, Dream and Play.

Venus in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces.

Mercury is in Gemini  sextiles Uranus in Aires.

The Moon is in Taurus.

This week really is the luckiest week for love and romance all year, its unreliable with all the planetary interactions how blessed in the love department we are! So those of you who are hesitant in making a leap of love and faith do so!

Neptune is the dreamy planet of aspirations in the cosmos. Its rules Pisces and when it sits in Pisces its in heaven, its home and is comfortable. Venus and Neptune together expands the  dreaming of love and the love of romance and when they to come together anything is possible.

Mercury is in Gemini , also a major personality planet sitting in its ruling sign and it sextiles Uranus in Aires. This gives us a very strong desire to communicate. Mercury/Uranus aspect is great for thinking outside the box, being innovative, and seeing/communicating information that is before it’s time! However just be mindful on the content you desire to communicate out, watch your thoughts as they turn into words whether its positive, negative and vice versa when dealing with others. Ignore the negativity.

Today keep your ears and eyes open for any unusual ideas, thoughts or flashes of inspiration. Today is a good day to go ahead and jump at any opportunity to expand the directions of your mind.

The Moon is Taurus today .Wow not only is the emotional Moon in sensual Taurus, but the planet Love is also in Taurus all coming together. That makes today the ideal day for love, romance and all thing smoochy.
The Taurus Moon would also love nothing more than to be laid-back, alone and pushing us to over indulge our naughty senses,  food,wine and over spending money watch out for binge eating and online shopping . However that Venus and Neptune sextile is softly pushing us to make romantic connections. The key word is softly, so no  running head first in with flowers in hand begging for a date or falling completely head over heals and being silly. Neptune has a great gift at making things seem a lot greater than they are.

If you are single today will be the day that people will be responding to you, go on that date, ask that girl out at the coffee shop today, and say yes if someone brings you flowers and ask you out, take a leap of faith the universe has your back today. For the those who are in a relationship spend some quality time together, it’s not the amount of time its the quality of time because it really is about love and romance connection at its best.

Remember, this is the last day with the Sun and Mercury will be in versatile Gemini, enjoy the chatter and the quickly moving mind.  Both bodies will enter amazing Cancer early into the day tomorrow and then meet in the sign later morning. ( if you can’t tell me and my sister are a Moon childs and its my birthday week).

 

Have a great day!
