June Astrology 2020 ♥

June 2020 is a busy month astrologically across our skies. Change is in the air; cycles are shifting and rebirthing into new energy as new power is rising within. This month we have a stack going on beginning with the Rebirth of Venus. After retrograding across the heavens, she will be reborn… after transitioning from our bright evening star to our morning star.

The rebirth of Venus after her retrograde is a significant point in her cycle. This will also birth a new 8-year cycle creating a new Rose of Venus (more on the Rose of Venus later)  

Venus went Retrograde on May 12, slowly disappearing from the night sky. On June 3, she will align with the Sun, reappearing as our morning star.

This Retrograding Venus is a time of heart healing. It is a time where we are drawn inward to clear through the blocks and barriers that prevent us from accessing the love that we are.

The Rebirth of Venus signifies a time where any healing inspired by Venus Retrograde has been completed, making way for our own rebirth.

Friday the 5th of June marks the Sagittarian Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon. This is the 2nd Eclipse for the year and will be visible on the East Coast of Australia.

Check out if it is visible for you and when here > https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2020-june-5

The Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse is a strong one and will really be pushing us to shake off and remove any layers that have held us back, made us shrink and feel small.

This Eclipse is about stepping into our power and cutting through the obstacles, many of them we have placed by ourselves… it is time to pull out the warrior swords!

On Wednesday the 19th we roll into the second Mercury Retrograde of the year in the watery, soft sign of Cancer. Soothing self-love and self-talk are going to be a theme of this retrograde. Retrograde of regeneration and reboot time!

June has a lot going on energetically but with the retrograding planets slowing things down a bit it will give us time to step back a little and navigate the new heightened energy

The weekend of the 20/21st is the pivotal point of the month and the big turning of the astrological wheel of the year. This weekend we will usher in the Sun shifting into Cancer, The Winter Solstice (Yule) and the Cancer New Moon Solar Eclipse. Kapow!!

She will be a doozy of a weekend. The energy will begin long before, I will post on these three events separately.

The Cancer New Moon Solar Eclipse is a potent & powerful Eclipse and one of the most significant of the year. Only visible in the very most Northern regions of Australia as it is time for South/East Europe, Much of Asia, Much of Africa, Pacific and the Indian Ocean areas for a look.

Have a sticky here to see if you can see it in your area > https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2020-june-21

Falling so close to the Solstice, this Solar Eclipse will bring a grand rebirth and is said that it will open a portal to a whole new dimension. A brand new dawn is awakening and this Eclipse kickstarts the energy.

The energy around this Eclipse feels very “new world” and will be pivotal for the rebirthing a new way of living.

To top the weekend off we have Neptune Retrograding in Pisces the following day Monday the 22nd. As Neptune enters the underworld, we will have a total of six planets in retrograde.

Neptune is the planet of spirituality, escapism, creativity, and illusion. When it turns retrograde, we are guided on a journey inward, to the deep underwater caves to access our inner wisdom from deep within our souls.

Neptune Retrograde is a very subtle energy so we will feel this more on a subconscious level. It’s shadow work time!

At the end of the month Venus will turn direct in Gemini after her rebirth and begin the dance of the New Rose and Mars will enter his ruler Aries.

Mars changes signs roughly every 2 months but moving into Aries is momentous as that is where he will stay for the remainder of the year. This long stay for Mars is due to its retrograde which happens later on in September.

Mars in Aries is at home, he is the strong warrior here! Tuning in to this energy is going to give us some ninja warrior like energy which we will need we navigate through the rest of the year.

To end the month on June 29th we have an alignment of Retrograding Jupiter with Retrograding Pluto. The Jupiter Pluto alignment is a key feature of 2020 and happens three times. The first occurred back in April and this month brings us the second alignment.

This alignment usually brings up energy surrounding the global financial markets. But on a personal level, we may be drawn to look at our financial situation, or to dive deeper into the energy of abundance, which is so much greater than just material wealth.

Yes, there is lot going on in June just as we are emerging from ISO and begin to step into a new way of living. The Astrology for the month will bring us new energy, some very powerful and some very gentle… subtle but profound and deep.  Change is in the air and we have the opportunity to be the change we want to see in this world!

More on these key dates as they come closer! Love and Blessings

Gemini New Moon ♥

Friday the 22nd we have a New Moon falling in Gemini. This New Moon marks the opening of the Eclipse Gateway. The first of three Eclipses occurs in 2 weeks during the Full Moon, but this sparks the opening of the energy which surrounds the Eclipse cycle and begins the powerful portal of transformation that occurs during the Eclipses.

This Gemini New Moon it is very important to pay attention to our energy as well as where we put our focus on during this New Moon and the pre-eclipse period, as what we focus on is supercharged and can manifest quickly during the eclipse cycle.

Gemini is asking us to look at where we have been pleasing people but not ourselves. This can be a call to move away from the need to please everyone else and put ourselves last. Have we been putting too much energy into making sure everyone else is ok around us during these challenging times and not checking in enough on ourselves?

We need to remind ourselves that in order to help and nurture our loved ones we need to nurture and replenish ourselves to be able to do that.

As we look towards peeping out from under the blankets and begin to step out into a changed way of life, some may be a longing for the way that things were before, we are being asked to look with open eyes & hearts from our deep truth as we move forward. This can mean changing things for the better and not holding on to old and outdated ideals.

We are being reminded not to replicate what was out of habit. We have an opportunity to create the new, this is not a time to replicate the past. We can all break free of old patterns in life and our relationships on all levels. Maybe we have been living a life in alignment with someone else’s truth or keeping our own voice hidden.

Whatever it is, we are being asked to step up and embrace our own truth. Now is the time to awaken the truth that has been living dormant in the core of our being as we move towards the dawning of a new time.

We are also being called to connect with the energy of life and joy. This can be a call to move towards relief, happiness and release as we embrace the satisfaction of truly living. The Gemini New Moon calls on us to do something for ourselves that opens us up to deeper bliss and joy.

There is a lot of energy surrounding the Gemini New Moon, high energy is coming in from the Pleiadean Portal, Venus, Mercury, Neptune, and Saturn. It can feel a little overwhelming at times, the best things for us to do is to turn inwards. Always the focus for New Moon energy. The New Moon is the Dark Moon, when the night sky is dark and there is no Moon visible in the sky.

This is a time of magic, of darkness, of transformation and of unknowing.  There is magic in the unknowing. There is magic in being that seed in the dark Earth that is waiting to sprout. It is how all creation begins and the New Moon is a time to honor and tune in to those creative powers.

As the New Moon falls in Gemini, the sign of the twins, we may feel pulled in two directions. We may feel our heart wanting to go one way, and our mind wanting to go the other.

Or, we may simply feel a sense of confusion, a sense of loss or even hopelessness. The dark night of the New Moon can seem endless, but the light always returns.

The Gemini twins also represent being connected to earth and connected to heaven. Being the bridge between these two states is what life is all about during the Gemini New Moon we are being reminded of this.

Planetary influences… Retrograde Saturn is active on this New Moon and provides some grounded energy. It supports us in setting goals and thinking about things in a more practical and methodical way.

Saturn asks us to use our powers of creation during the Gemini New Moon to make wise choices that will stand the test of time.

Saturn calls for us get real with what is happening in our lives. It wants us to think about the long term and put plans in place as best we can.

While Saturn adds some practicality and earthiness, we also have strong water and air energy floating in from Mercury, Venus, and Neptune.

Mercury and Retrograde Venus will be at the exact same degree of the zodiac- 20 degrees of Gemini, at the time of this New Moon.

This duo’s connection is a beautiful match, but they both make alignments to Neptune and this is where the fog and clouds roll in.

Neptune is the planet of spirituality and dreams, but also illusions. Neptune can color our reality, allowing us to see new potentials but also, fogginess. There is some wispy illusionary energy floating about, so we need to be aware of that.

With Venus Retrograde and Neptune’s presence here, we may feel a little confused about which way to turn. This energy may enhance that feeling of being pulled in two directions or create a feeling of disconnect between our heart and mind.

In order to roll with this energy, it is best to go within, to the place of our own inner knowing. Step back and feel into what’s happening if this occurs.

We have so much energy coming in right now and it is supporting us to dive in deep and to trust the process that is unfolding around us. Rather than getting lost indecision, we are asked to wait and trust that we will be guided to the right answers.

The right answers are always there, and with gentle patience, we will break free of the fog and find our way to where we need to be.

This is a powerful time for ritual work, for setting intentions, and for thinking about our long term plans. While we don’t have to map out our entire lives, these planets come together to help us figure out what we want and what we are willing to do to make it happen.

The journey is always moving, snaking forward and shifting. This is the time to trust our inner wisdom, and if we feel confused, retreat within, listed to our inner truth and allow ourselves permission to wait until the right answers float up and we are met with that strong sense of inner knowing.

Love and Blessings CH ♥♥♥

Scorpio Full Moon ♥

Thursday the 7th of May brings us the third and last Super Full Moon of the year in the water sign of Scorpio. Scorpio Full Moons have an intensity about them and offer us a chance of great transformation, they are endings and beginnings like the scorpion/phoenix symbolism of Scorpio, the cycle of death, rebirth, transformation… from the ashes the phoenix rises.

This Scorpio Super Full Moon guides us to honor the beauty of endings. It is highly cleansing and detoxifying and will be preparing us for the Winter Eclipse season that follows.

We may feel extra sensitive and a little moody, and just like the scorpion, we may be tempted to lash out with that stinger! Watching & observing our emotions is important, honour our feelings but watch that temper, Scorpion stings hurt deeply.

As the third and last Super Moon of the year, we are going to feel our emotions and thoughts bubbling up and flowing out of us.

The Scorpio Full Moon is very cleansing and can assist in drawing things out that are no longer serving, that are holding us down, or making us feel stuck.

If we give in to our feelings, if we allow ourselves time to process how we feel, when they come to pass, we can experience a release, like a weight has been lifted. The Scorpio Full Moon is always a special one as it signifies that transformation is always possible.

Just like the scorpion sheds its skin, we too can start again. We too, can transform ourselves simply by making different choices and thinking different thoughts. No matter what our own zodiac sign is, we can all use some of this Scorpio wisdom to bring transformation and to make changes in our lives if that is what is needed.

Full Moons tend to make us purge and release things from our lives, so we need to make sure that we are in control of this and no one is forcing our hand! Sometimes we can let go of things that we regret later, due to heightened emotions and the Full Moon’s impulsivity.’ The bright light of the Sun throws a spotlight on our subconscious and our shadow. This can feel uncomfortable as the Sun blasts out the nasties who have nowhere to hide.

The veils between the worlds are thinnest around a Full Moon, so we need to be very careful what we invite in. Instead, the Full Moon is best used to purge things out. We need to make sure we close the door firmly afterwards and make sure we are completely grounded and fully in control of the process.

If in doubt, lie low and protect yourself. Envision a strong orb of brilliant golden light around your body for extra protection. In saying that, Scorpio energy is highly intuitive and also very protective, so we can also use this energy to tune into our intuition and tap into the extra protection for our energy fields.

We have spent so much time these last few months focusing on sanitizing everything around us and looking after our physical health, let us also remember to turn our attention to our energetic health by cleansing our aura and the energy of our space around us.

Get out the smudge sticks, bells, crystal bowls, whatever you use and give our homes, spaces and selves a good energetic cleanse. Envision pure violet light pulsing through our bodies clearing stuck energy and refill ourselves with pure white light.

Although Scorpio Full Moons have the intensity and heightened emotional factors this Scorpio Super Full Moon has a spiritual, healing and compassionate influence because of Mercury’s aspect to Neptune.

This aspect will make us and others generally more sympathetic and understanding. It will make us more sensitive true…but also better able to understand any conflicting emotions. The healing and compassion flag will fly high during this Full Moon phase.

Sure, misunderstandings and arguments are possible but the harmonious aspect to Neptune reduces these risks. This is a good Full Moon for spending quiet time in reflection or talking with a close friend about our inner feelings which we feel may be holding us back in some way.

Emotions are heightened but so are imagination, and creativity. Increased intuition and psychic awareness will help us to understand our feelings. This reduces anxiety and makes misunderstanding less likely. And if disagreements do occur, this harmonious, compassionate and spiritual influence encourages compromise, cooperation, and forgiveness.

Friends may come to us for comforting or a shoulder to cry on. Our caring, sympathetic sides will be enhanced so this is a good Full Moon to be of service to our loved ones and also the wider community.

All of us will still be extremely sensitive to all vibrational energy from other people and the environment. But we can really trust our gut feelings, intuition and psychic abilities during this Scorpio Super Full Moon. We may receive spiritual information through dreams, meditation, our spirit guides, or through chance encounters.

This is a fabulous Full Moon for creative pursuits like literature, poetry, drama, singing, art, design, gardening and whatever fuels our creative fire. It is also good for relaxation, movies, yoga, astrology, tarot, lucid dreaming, and meditation.

As Autumn comes to a close this month and we tap into La Luna’s energy on the night of the last Super Moon of the year, we are reminded through Scorpio that the cycle of  death and transformation is important for all of us to move forward, so let’s all look for the beauty in whatever endings have come our way.

Make peace through grieving, letting go, through allowing, and by honoring the new beginning that has now been paved for each of us.

Just like the rich colors of autumn, just like the stunning sunsets that we have been experiencing, we too can find the beauty in endings… and then the morning rises on a bright new day and journey on the road ahead.

Love and Blessings ♥♥♥

Upcoming Venus Retrograde ♥

Beautiful Venus has been shining brightly in our night sky. She sparkles and is hard to miss after sunset until around 7pm in Eastern Australia. Very soon Venus will drop below the horizon as it enters retrograde, only to return once again as a morning star. This is the rebirth of Venus and is said to be the rebirth of our hearts as well.

Venus is the Goddess of love, beauty, art, creativity, fashion, and money. It rules over the divine feminine and its energy encourages us to slow down and appreciate the finer things in life.

During a Venus Retrograde, if there are old heart wounds in our relationships with others, the self, or money, they can stir to the surface in order to be forgiven, cleared, and healed.

As Venus goes Retrograde from May 12-13th to June 24-25th, in the sign of Gemini, it will dive into the underworld, encouraging us to question matters of the heart.

Think of Goddess Venus working away in the unseen parts of our heart chakras and energy field, soothing the foundation, ironing out the creases, and helping it to expand bigger and wider.

As Venus works on our heart field, it helps us reconnect with the voice and truth of our higher self and encourages us to act and feel from the place of love that we are.

This is why under a Venus retrograde, it is never wise to make big decisions when it comes to matters of the heart.

While we may receive new insights and wisdom, it is always best to wait until Venus has emerged from its retrograde so we can have the full and complete story.

Under this 2020 Venus Retrograde, we may also find ourselves revisiting themes of the heart that were go way back to March through to July 2012, as this was the last time we had Venus Retrograde in Gemini, and October-November 2018, as this was the last time we experienced Venus Retrograde in general.

If anything pops up from those transit time it is time for us to clear them, forgive and move forward.

The Rebirth of Venus… On June 3rd, the Sun and Venus align, which is considered the rebirth of Venus. It is at this point that Venus will begin appearing as our sparkling morning star.

At this stage of the retrograde journey, we reach a state of clearness. This is that powerful ah-ha moment where the clearing has been completed and Venus can begin planting seeds for the next cycle.

Even though this moment of clarity can be powerful, and an amazing instigator of heart openings and activations, there is another layer present this year that we will need to pay attention to as well.

The Five Retrogrades and Neptunian Influences… Venus goes retrograde alongside five other planets- Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto. This will add to the heavy sense of reflection we will feel, and we may even find ourselves in stop and go type situation, push / pull energy. We may feel unsure of how to move forward, or confused about the best action to take. So a little patience will be required.

Along with this, Venus also makes some alignments with Neptune, the planet of illusion, imagination, and dreams, but also confusion.

Neptune can bring beautiful, poetic, and romantic energy, helping to open our hearts bigger and wider, but it can also make us feel a little disillusioned and can make it harder for us to set boundaries with others.

The dates of these alignments are May 3, May 20, and July 27. Pay attention to what stirs in your heart on these days, and perhaps write down your thoughts and feelings.

While this Neptunian energy is present, the solution is communication, not just with others but with ourselves as well. The reason for this is that Venus will retrograde in the big gun of communication… Gemini.

Learning to speak our truth will be important under this energy but listening with compassion is very important as well.

In order to be effective communicators, we have to learn to listen with our whole body. We need to listen not just to others, but to the signs of the Universe and our bodies.

Communication is the foundation for any healthy relationship, including the relationship we have with our body, mind, and soul.

Venus Retrograde can be a great time to start writing or keeping a dream journal. With this dreamy Neptune energy also present, it is likely our dreams can hold powerful clues and intuitive wisdom that we can really learn from.

It can be an amazing reflective tool to look back on showing us insights and inspirations that came through.

Venus going retrograde in 2020 is asking us to become better communicators. It is asking us to rework our relationships with our fellow humans, not just the ones that we love and are close to, but with everyone.

While we have to distance ourselves from others right now, hopefully this experience can open the way for greater love and appreciation for our fellow humans.

Hopefully, this distance teaches us just how valuable human connection is and how we can all work to make it more of a priority in our lives.

For some, this may include setting boundaries, for others, this could be taking down walls and allowing their heart to open.

So, while many of us are loving from a distance right now, we can hold space for a world where human connection is valued, honored, and cherished.

We can hold space for a new world where we recognise the importance of everyone and just how valuable we all are to this world we call home.

We can hold space for healing our planet, looking at better ways we can help our planet & not take from it all the time.  I hold the intention for a New Better World to evolve and be reborn… And So Mote It Be ♥

Love and Blessings ♥♥♥

Taurus New Moon ♥

Thursday the 23rd of April, we have a New Moon falling in the Earth sign of Taurus. The Taurean New Moon is calling our attention to the simple things that need to be done in order to manifest our desires. Taurus is an Earth sign, and this grounded and practical energy wants us to put in the work when it comes to manifesting what we wish for. This can be anything from relationships to new projects or ideas.

While our lives may feel a little chaotic, we are being called to focus on what we wish to attract and to think about the seeds we wish to plant for our future.

Taurus energy is about slow, methodical building, so while we can set these intentions and plant seeds, we need to be patient and ensure that we are making progress day by day.

Taurus reminds us that we won’t achieve what we want by taking the easy way out or thinking that someone else will do it for us. This is our path. It’s up to us to step up and move forward. We are being reminded to follow our own paths and not worry about what others are doing.

This is a call to honor the truth of our spirit and not shadow the behavior of others. 

The natural world is calling to us during this Taurus Moon, as it connects with Earth Day. We can find great healing in nature. Connect in some way with the Earth and honor the natural world. This is a time of rebirth for the Earth and the people on it. This is a time to focus on natural healing and connection with one another in ways that support the environment.

The Taurus New Moon is softly singing to reminds us that a grand new beginning is on the horizon. This grand new beginning has not yet arrived, but it is slowly drawing closer, and this New Moon is our steppingstone on the path towards it.

During the New Moon is a good time to create some space, hold an intention for the life that we wish to lead. This is a time to step out of our present situations for a moment and ask ourselves, what can we become? How does our journey progress from this point forward?

Even as you are reading this, perhaps take a pause to think about where you would like the direction of your life to go. Make a wish, hold it close. Don’t worry about how “real” it is, just put it out there for yourself and for the Universe.

The sky will be dark under the Taurus New Moon, but this darkness only serves to draw us within. We are being asked to fantasize about where we wish to head, but we are also being asked to sit with our shadows too.

When we sit with our shadows, what do they share with us?

They may feel dark and scary, they may trigger a flutter of the heart or a storm of butterflies deep within our bellies, but we need to keep reminding ourselves that we are safe.

Sitting with our shadows is about acknowledging our deepest fears. It is acknowledging what is behind our anxiety or behind that feeling of insecurity that floats up from time to time.

The thing with shadow work is that it can often feel overwhelming, but simply bringing what you find into the light is very often all it takes to begin our journey to greater healing.

On this New Moon, we should all try to identify our fears. Expose them, allow ourselves to hear them. Write them down so they are in the light, and then we may just find that they no longer have such a grip.

There are challenging energies that are being stirred in the world around us now. We don’t need astrology or Mother Moon to tell us that. But what we can understand and learn from the cosmos above, is that a new cycle is on the way.

Just like the Moon goes through its own phases, so do we all, and so does the state of the world. We all ebb and flow through cycles of change. It is inevitable and the only thing that is really predictable.

Uranus, the planet of change is very active under this New Moon. Uranus likes to shake things up in order to awaken us, but its presence can also feel upsetting and chaotic.

Along with Uranus being active, we also have Saturn active too. If Uranus is about shaking things up, Saturn is about keeping things the same and honoring the traditions of the past.

These two seemingly opposite energies are both going to be highlighted at this time. We may feel this duality within us, but we may also see it playing out on the world stage

Uranus wants the ways of the past to crumble so it can revolutionize and rebuild something new. Saturn wants the change to stop so we can just go back to the way things were.

Do we want to go back to the way things were or do we want something new, something different, something better? These two energies are not here to battle, rather they are here to work together.

This is an opportunity for all of us to acknowledge our past and the gifts it has shared, but to also start thinking about how we would like to move forward. We don’t need to forget our goals and dreams, but something has to change, something has to be different this time around.

Our past gives us guidance, but it is our job now to take this guidance and start using it to pave a way for a different future.

Under all the challenging vibrations this April New Moon offers, there is a vibration of hope too. We need to allow this vibration of hope to enter our beings, allow it to flood our entire minds, body, and soul, and give ourselves permission to start daydreaming about this new life we all wish to create.

On a global level, it may feel like we are in between two worlds and both Saturn and Uranus can amplify that, but we can soften this feeling by taking charge of what seeds we would like to start planting today.

The familiarity of the past can be our guide, but the hope and the promise of the future can guide us to think bigger and better.

There are chances here to upgrade and change our lives, and the Taurus New Moon represents a time where we can plant those seeds.

This is our invitation from the Universe, what seeds will we start planting?

Libra Super Full Moon ❤

Wednesday the 8th of April, we have a Full Moon falling in the Air sign of Libra. This Full Moon is also known as the Pink Moon and is a Super Moon, the closest & brightest one for the year. There is a real mix of energies at play with the Libran Super Full Moon, the scales of balance are tipping very high and very low during this Moon phase.  This Full Moon will most likely amplify all our current emotional states, everyone’s emotions are heightened already which can be overwhelming but… shifting the scales to a positive, it can also be a great time of self-discovery.

Full Moons have the ability to draw things out of us. While this can be cleansing, it can also stir up a lot of emotional energy and expose wounds that we have buried away.

This will likely be a very melancholy Full Moon as it is connected with distance and hardship. The chart for this Full Moon brings this into full light. As the weight of the issues we have been dealing with on a global scale are felt, we may feel trapped by circumstance or the events that have been ongoing. While it is natural to feel overwhelmed by everything, we are reminded not to shut down emotionally in the midst or aftermath of what is going on.

The events of the last few weeks may have shifted the dynamic of relationships as work and homelife are reevaluated. This may have caused some surprising revelations, bringing some closer together and creating distance between others, especially those in long distance connections. This may be causing arguments, upsets and drama. Usually at the root of upsets is fear. It’s important to get to the bottom of what is really going on if we find ourselves in arguments or drama.

Having restrictions put upon us for any length of time can cause us to want to rebel. The Libran Full Moon is urging caution where there is any pull to upset the balance of our lives. This is a time to move back towards our own balance, renewal and nourishment.

The Super Full Moon aspects also cautions against issues with authority, such as restrictions put on by those in government. This can cause additional conflict or stress. There are also aspects warning us to look after our health.

The Super Full Moon makes an aspect to Neptune that is associated with health imbalances. This aspect between Neptune and the Super Full Moon increases our emotional sensitivity which can lead to confusion, insecurity and neurotic distress. This is an aspect of health imbalances, and Neptune rules illness and infection. Cleanliness and hygiene are critical during this two week Moon phase.

There is also a risk of misdiagnosis, over-sensitivity to medications, addiction, and poisoning. Paranoia and suspicion can lead to mistrust and the poisoning of a relationship. We may find ourselves susceptible to isolation, gossip, scandal, betrayal, loss or disappointment… All Neptunian energy.

Mars and the aspect to Uranus can be impulsive and its influence may make people rebellious and aggressive. Jupiter and Pluto amplify the risks but a positive aspect to Mercury gives understanding and common sense. It means smart thinking and cooperation with friends and neighbours is the key to staying safe and relatively happy during the Super Full Moon

Some people may react with ruthless, extreme, self-righteous, prejudiced, immoral or obsessive behavior. Selfishness, greed, jealousy, revenge, racism, violence and crime are connected to this aspect..

Mercury aspected to Jupiter brings positive thinking which should reduce the risk of those destructive behaviors mentioned above. A broad outlook and excellent decision-making skills will allow us to make plans in response to new laws and regulations. This is a good Full Moon to implement new routines at home.

Mercury and Pluto give us an intense focus and concentration to research the truth and uncover secrets. We can trust our intuition to guide our decisions. Mercury aspected to Jupiter-Pluto means we transform our way of thinking and adapt to new restrictions affecting communications and movements.

The Libran Super Full Moon calls for us to start thinking about how we can come together to support one another, rather than getting stuck or bogged down in our own lives and what they have now become since all the changes and big shifts 2020 has brought our way.

Even though we may be feeling alone, isolated, and uncertain, we are all in this together and the only way through is to come together as One.

On spiritual planes, we are all connected, but here in the physical world, we appear as separate. It is part of our journey in this life to be individual beings but at our core, we are one and the same.

It is my belief that all our collective thoughts, actions, and vibrations also make up this reality we find ourselves in. We have always been in this together, but now we are being guided to recognise this Universal truth for ourselves and the power it can bring.

When we start to feel restless or anxious about our current situations, let’s turn it around and think about how we can support and reach out to others.

Let’s get out of our own heads for a moment, put our own troubles to the side, and see what we can offer to the world, to others, to the community, or to the Universe.

It doesn’t have to be big or over the top, it could be a ritual of healing, a phone call, a donation, a helping hand, or an act of compassion. No contribution is too small, and no contribution will go unnoticed or unappreciated.

The fabric of our reality is shifting and changing, which means now is a time where it’s most sensitive to our vibrations. Now is the time where we can upgrade the tapestry of our reality through mindfulness, love, and conscious awareness.

Our vibration radiates the highest when we honor, accept, and love who we are and our journey. Our vibration radiates the highest when we put down our egos and just allow ourselves to be.

We are all needed here at this time, we have all agreed to be here at this time. Even though there is so much destruction, and struggle, and suffering around us, we are creating a new world. We are creating a new reality. And there are higher beings surrounding us and joining in too.

On a more Earth based level, the Libran Super Moon will be highlighting feelings of self-love and stirring things in our relationships. If there are any weaknesses or cracks, this Super Full Moon may expose and shine a light on what needs to be healed.

If any of us are in need, don’t be afraid to reach out for support at this time, whether we go to a friend, relative, professional, or to your angels and guides.

We are all here for each other just like these words are here for you. Let them sink to the depths of your soul and allow them to work and soften you where they need to.

This is a time to practice compassion, to remember that we are all hurting and struggling in our own ways, and to seek how we can lessen the load for those around us.

Gentle loving kindness will help us navigate these strong Lunar vibes, but it is also important that we practice self-care and allow the Full Moon to work on releasing and detoxifying.

Staying hydrated, exercising, writing, painting, dancing, gardening, meditating, being creative, reaching out to friends, all those simple self-care practices are very much needed right now.

There is no doubt these are challenging times and the heavens show some challenging alignments too. But we are not alone in this.

We all need to take some comfort in knowing this journey will soon end. All is temporary, and through this time of uncertainty there is no doubt that we are growing, we are evolving, and the planet is doing the same.

In numerology, the number code 2020 represents infinite possibilities when we work together.

Love, Blessings, Health and Light    CH xo

April 2020 Astrology ♥

As we welcome in April all of us are finding ourselves in a very different world & way of living. It’s definitely huge for everyone right now!!! But… We need to remind ourselves daily to be grateful for what we have & know that we will grow from this experience individually and collectively

Astrologically April brings some quite potent planetary energy. All through the April the planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto are very active. Mars heightens fiery emotions, Jupiter amplifies and expands, Saturn wants to restrict, and Uranus brings change.

This combination of cosmic forces could be quite volatile, and we may see and feel an increase in heightened emotions. Let’s face it… April 2020 is going to be quite a month regardless of any input from the planets… so… we gotta hang on and ride the wave. (insert Surf Movie music)

But with everything going on there is also an incredible opportunity for growth and abundance too. Take that along for the ride too as the prize!

The first major alignment taking place in April is the Jupiter Pluto conjunction. This is one of the most significant alignments to take place in 2020 and kicks off this weekend on April 4.

The last time these two planets came together was about 13 years ago, and they will be shining a spotlight on the economy and our finances. Interesting isn’t it?

While the economy may be highlighted on a global level, on a personal level, Jupiter and Pluto can create new opportunities for abundance.

This planetary energy encourages us to seek new ideas and to connect with abundance in a new and deeper way.

We can use this alignment to invite abundance into our lives and to start recognising the abundance that is always around us. Abundance comes in many forms not just monetary…. We can use this energy to see the doors that are opening, rather than the ones that are closing.

The next major alignment comes April 7-8 with the Libra Super Full Moon. This is the closest Super Moon of the year, so we are going to feel La Lunas energy beaming out strongly.

Falling in Libra, this Full Moon will highlight our relationships and get us to question the connections we have in our life. It will also guide us to focus on the relationship we have with ourselves and can be a catalyst in helping us reach a deeper state of self-love and acceptance.

Feelings of loneliness may peak around this Full Moon, so if that starts to resonate, make an extra effort to connect with loved ones.

If we feel isolated due to any lockdown measures, it may also help us to think of this experience as a retreat of sorts, and a time where we can go within and prioritize the things that we love to do. As a mother attempting to distance educate my daughter in her year 6 school work & everything in daily life… finding time for myself is challenging!! Can I hear all the parent out there in the same situation say “YES” I hear you!! Don’t get me started on Year 6 Math … :O :O

Loving the memes on Facebook of parents homeschooling their children, it’s good to have a laugh!!! But seriously we really have to find a little time for ourselves to retreat within  

The week following the Full Moon brings more activity as the Sun Squares Pluto on April 14. During this time period, we are called to remember where our true power and strength lies.

Within each and every one of us is an incredible source of love, power, wisdom, knowledge, and divinity. We need to tap in and use these energies and connect with all of that.

Whenever we have intensity like this, we are only being squeezed so we can release more of our potential and our inner divine spark out into this world.

As the Sun moves into earthy Taurus on April 19, we will start feeling more comfortable and grounded with the direction of our lives. This will also help ease us into the Taurus New Moon on April 22.

This New Moon carries the energy of change and new information may come to the surface that takes us by surprise. But, with the grounded earthiness from the Taurus bull, we will be able to surrender and allow ourselves to go with the flow with greater ease.

On April 24, we have Pluto going retrograde but this is something we feel more on an internal level rather than an external one. With the Taurus New Moon still fading, we may also feel drawn to reflect and perhaps even change or pivot our goals and strategies for the year ahead.

On April 26, the Sun aligns with Uranus reminding us to keep riding the flow and surrendering to the process.

This is a time for all of us to have unwavering faith in ourselves and in the path that is unfolding.

April offers an incredible month of planetary energy, but as we emerge, we have the potential to feel stronger, more aligned, and more confident in ourselves.

Although our lives and daily reality is shifting… and… I feel it is upgrading around us!! we are very much connected to our guides, angels & higher states of being, they are felt strongly now and are very much here to guide us.

Love and Blessings CH xo

Aries New Moon ♥

Tuesday the 24th of March we usher in the Aries New Moon just a few days after a string of powerful cosmic events, including the Equinox, the start of the Astrological New Year, A Mars Jupiter Conjunction, and the most pivotal, Saturn moving into Aquarius.
All of this energy is already sending intense waves out into the Universe and the Aries New Moon will heighten all of this, plus bring some pizazz and spark of its own energy too.

An Aries New Moon is a powerful time for new beginnings and doing things in new ways, well, we are definitely seeing plenty of New, Changes and feeling our ways into that of adaption…
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac and when paired with the New Moon, it brings us a time for possibility and potential.

Aries reminds us to embrace the destiny that is flowing to us. This isn’t a time to move away from the dreams and desires that are inspiring us, but a time to move towards them. Sure, we may have to adjust the way we go about doing this during the current situation but we can still strive towards them all the same.

There can be a flood of new ideas or opportunities that can open some amazing doors for us. But we need to give ourselves permission to walk through.
Aries wants us to remember that we ARE ready for everything that is going to be flowing in the new cycle that is coming. To Trust in ourselves and know that we can handle anything that will happen.
To Have courage and trust in our abilities!!

Over last few days we have shifted through a change in the Suns sign, the Equinox, the start of another Astrological Year. These energies are generally the first wave of fresh energy for new beginnings.
We may feel a sense of optimism and feel invigorated by the fresh fiery, energy that is now on offer to us.
Over the Equinox period, the veil between dimensions is thin so if we are open, we may tap into receiving signs from our guides, nature and the Universe.

We have also shifted through the Mars Jupiter Conjunction, which will be triggering some tension and volatility. This alignment is fiery and while it can heighten things in intensity, it can also give us a boost of motivation and enthusiasm as well.

Saturn has moved out of Capricorn into Aquarius, which represents a huge shift and the end of a karmic cycle that we have been working with for over 2.5 years.
This brings us a wave of big transformative energy that has sent ripples through the cosmos, our planet and ourselves.

This is a huge amount of energy to move through in just a few short days, so we may be feeling a range of emotions that are hard to even just identify with.

During the Aries New Moon, the asteroid Chiron, known as the wounded healer, will also be very active. We will be drawn to think about ways to heal, ourselves, each other, and the planet.
We may find ourselves having to care for a loved one or we may find that we need to nurture and look after our own mind, body, and soul.

Black Moon Lilith is also very active right now, many of us will feel the push to take major steps toward healing old wounds and reclaiming aspects of our identity that have been suppressed and rejected by patriarchal culture.
Many are feeling rightfully angry at society’s injustices, but we must all be careful to channel it in ways that promotes healing… rather than spreading suffering and more fear.

As the Aries New Moon also aspects the Lunar nodes, we have the power to break these cycles… as long as we choose to move forward, not backward.
While the Capricorn South Node is pulling us back into played-out patterns of dominance and oppression, the Cancer North Node beckons us toward a more caring and connected future. Personally, and collectively, the choice is ours.

So many of us have had to change our ways these last few weeks and adopt a new routine or schedule. As we move through this transition, it is really important that we find ways to make our new routine productive and healthy.

Chiron’s presence during the Aries New Moon will guide us to take care of ourselves, to set routines that inspire, and to think about how we can use any weaknesses or setbacks in our lives in order to find new strengths.

Chiron is the wounded healer, but it has the gift of being able to take its wounds and make them powerful portals of healing.
How can we embrace the same? Under all of this fiery Aries energy, we may feel wound up or extra emotional if we don’t give ourselves a healthy outlet to express it.
Being mindful to try not to allow our emotions to boil over and try to act from a place of calm and ease will help us all navigate these waters.

We need to take deep breaths, take our time, think things through, and don’t be impulsive. Let’s face it!!!! there is a lot of things going on for everyone at the moment and we all deal with things differently, so simple patience and kindness can go a very long way.

The Numerology surrounding the Aries New Moon is quite interesting. The New Moon falls at 4 degrees of Aries, and 4 degrees has been a trend lately.
Back in February, the New Moon was at 4 degrees Pisces, in January the New Moon was at 4 degrees of Aquarius, in December, the New Moon Eclipse was at 4 degrees of Capricorn. In 2020, we are also in a number 4 year.

In a number 4 year, we are called to return to the self and to find ways to create safety, comfort, and purpose from within. 4 represents feeling at home within ourselves, and it definitely seems this is a trend for many of us right now.
In astrology, 4 degrees of Aries is actually a very spiritually sensitive degree of the zodiac. It indicates advanced psychic energies and the ability to ascend to higher realms while remaining grounded.

At this time, we can all deepen our connection with Spirit and use it as a tool to connect with who we are and what we can do to feel more at home within ourselves.

The Aries New Moon is always a wonderful time to set intentions for the year ahead but rather than telling Spirit and the Universe what we want, why not instead, open our hearts to receive what Spirit and the Universe want from us?

Sometimes one of the most powerful intentions we can set is to surrender to the Divine, Source, the Universe, or whatever we want to call it, and just allow it to show us the way to the perfect new beginnings for all our journeys.

Love, Blessings, Healing and Light to you all ♥♥♥    

Autumnal Equinox ♥

The Sun has crossed the celestial equator dawning the great turn of the Zodiac Wheel bringing us the Autumnal Equinox, also known as the celebration of Mabon, the beginning of the Astrological Year and Aries Season.

This is the time when we experience equal hours of night and day. 12 hours to align with the dark and 12 hours to align with the light, creating the perfect balance.

We can use this balance found on the Equinox to honor the dark and the light within. The Equinox and celebration of Mabon is the time of the year for deep magic and for opening to the mysteries within us and all around us.  

At our core, we are light beings as radiant as the Sun, but we also live in a dense, physical world where shadows exist. The Equinox is a time of inner reflection and preparation (before the colder months arrive). This is a time for inner work and going within… Honour your journey as you reflect, rebalance and recalibrate.

Just as Mother Earth experiences this balance on the Equinox, we too can find a way to acknowledge our eternal soul made of light and the physical, dense world that we live in that is here to teach us so much.

We are light beings on a physical journey. We are here to experience the physical, but we also cannot forget the light and love that we are.

When we allow ourselves to bathe in our light, we see that light is our true essence and our true path. We see that we all return to the light and we all come from the light. We see that there is no separation and that the opposite of light, is needed in order to guide us on the next stage of our journey.

When we allow ourselves to bathe in the dark, dense physical, we see the amazing abilities of our physical bodies, what we can build and create, and how we all bring unique gifts and talents to this world. We see that life is always going through cycles of growing and shedding. We are also able to taste delicious food, hear laughter, feel an amazing array of emotion, smell beautiful flowers, and hold the ones we love.

When we get too caught up in the light, we can lose touch with our reality and forget the purpose of our journey. When we get too caught up in the dark, we can forget who we truly are and become overpowered by materialism and our ego.

Under the energy of the Mabon and the Autumnal Equinox, we are being called to create balance within ourselves and around the world. We are each being called to find our center, and to restore equilibrium to our mind, body, and soul.

We are here for a physical, human journey. Let’s honor that and all the pain and joy it brings. But let us also honor the light that lives in each and every one of us and the optimism and hope it can bring.

At the time of the Equinox, the veil between dimensions is also believed to be thin, so we can more easily access spirit wisdom, our intuition, and psychic messages with ease.

Have you noticed how clear the skies are and the stars amplified, have you noticed how clear the air feels and the oceans? How the mountain streams are healing us, the birds, nature… everything is vibrating higher, beaming brighter and lighter. As the current CV situation around the globe has people isolating and stopped many things putting things on hold so to speak… some may see this as an annoyance, others see it as a time of art and reflection… But bottom line our Planet has had a chance to breathe, to begin the heal…as the veils are down, tap in and feel this wave of higher vibration, you can literally breathe it in through every part of your body and mind… Leave the fear and soak in this wave of healing…

Our planet and us… her custodians, all need to allow ourselves time to find balance. Honour our planet, give gratitude for all the blessings that surround us, including ourselves. 

Love and Blessings ♥♥♥

Virgo Super Full Moon ❤

Monday the 9th of March, we have a Super Full Moon falling in the sign of Virgo. Shortly after this Full Moon peaks, Virgo’s ruling planet, Mercury will station direct, signaling the end of its retrograde, so now is a good time to express what we have been holding back for the past three weeks.

Having these two potent energies back to back allows things to be illuminated so we can see the bigger picture. This is especially so, seeing as March’s Full Moon is a Super Moon.

Super Moons fall close to Earth, allowing us to feel its effects strongly. It is important that we stay hydrated and take the time to recharge our batteries.

This Super Full Moon is going to shine a light on things that have felt foggy or unclear. It is going to leave a trail of breadcrumbs for us to follow so we can find our way forward.

This Virgo Full Moon is a seeker of truth and will be guiding us to follow our intuitions along the way so we can find new realisations, healings, and awakenings.

Virgo is represented by the virgin, but this symbol is more about coming into our own strength and inner wisdom. It is about knowing that we have the power to heal ourselves, others, the planet, and our collective heart.

March has bold, potent energy, and with this Moon, big and bright in the sky, we are going to be feeling the intensities and the transformations that this month brings.

There is strong, transformative energy flowing all the way through the month of March, and with this Virgo Super Full Moon illuminating or highlighting things for us, we need to ensure that we are protecting and looking after our own health and wellbeing.

Schedule that doctor’s appointment, go talk to a therapist, take a walk, sit in meditation, get your hair and nails done. Do whatever you need to honor your own healing journey and feel good about yourself.

March’s Full Moon is also preparing us for the start of the astrological year which begins on the Equinox later this month.

It is time for us to enter a new cycle, but before we can step onto this new path that is opening for us, we must bring acceptance to where we stand today. We have to radically accept our past, our pains, our grief, our mistakes, our triumphs, our family, our story, so we can move forward.

Sometimes it takes time for acceptance to arise, and that’s ok. But this Virgo Full Moon is clearing a path, it is shining a light, and if we want to take that step forward, if we are ready to accept what has come, there is energy supporting and holding us.

Neptune, the planet of spirituality, is also very active at this Full Moon. It will be guiding us to step out of our ego and into a place of heart and soul. The Virgo Full Moon sits opposite Neptune and is one of the most sensitive and compassionate aspects, but sometimes its idealism can be misplaced, unrealistic and impractical. Day-to-day existence can be a struggle coping with the vague and surreal energy of Neptune. We may feel like we are forever walking through a fractal painting, checkerboard staircases tapering off in spirals & melting clocks…

Addictions, especially alcoholism are a very obvious danger during the Virgo Full Moon. We are very sensitive to the environment that self-medication can be the only way to numb the pain. Moon opposition Neptune can cause the demonization of someone as being poisonous to the environment! As we are in the middle of a world pandemic, this opposition is even more poignant. It is the sort of aspect that can cause a lot of panic. Neptune being in Pisces makes this aspect even more about blurred boundaries.

This strong aspect may heighten our intuition and give us vivid or prophetic dreams. Take note, as this is how Neptune communicates with us.

Whatever is exposed under this Virgo Super Full Moon, know that Neptune’s energy encourages us to work from the heart and to keep our ego in check. It encourages us to transcend the physical for a moment and to view things through the lens of our higher self.

This can be hard to do. As life unfolds, we can get reactive, we can get stuck, we can get upset and triggered. And this is ok. We are human, we need our egos and we need to learn to get along with them.

But we also need our spiritual connection too. We also need to step outside of the mundane and the physical and see that we are so much more. Earth is like a school where we come to learn, grow, taste, and experience. All these experiences, no matter how painful or tragic, or wonderful, or beautiful, are here to help us grow.

Full Moons tend to make us purge and release things from our lives, so we need to make sure that we are in control of this and no one is forcing our hand! Sometimes we can let go of things that we regret later, due to heightened emotions and the Full Moon’s energetic fondness for saying ‘F*** it!’

The bright light of the Sun throws a spotlight on our subconscious and our shadow. This can feel uncomfortable as the Sun blasts out the demons who have nowhere to hide. Often the full moon is a time when we reap what we sowed at the New Moon… for good or for ill.

The veils between the worlds are thinnest around a full moon, so be very careful what you invite in. Instead, the full moon is best used to purge things out.

The Astrology surrounding the Virgo Super Full Moon continues the similar patterns as the last New Moon in Pisces, so we could see this as a part two. The Virgo/Pisces axis is also one that plays out the Victim/Savior polarity. If one has been feeling a victim of their own emotions, then grab a paintbrush or dive into anything creative that moves the soul and inspires release.  Giving ourselves an outlet to express opens us up as a channel to the divine. And divine energy is healing.

The Virgo Super Full Moon prepares us for a new chapter that is awakening. It is a time of illumination, healing, and radical self-acceptance.

Love and Blessings ♥♥♥
