Leo Full Moon ♥

Thursday the 17th of February, we have a Full Moon falling in the fire sign of Leo. With the Sun sitting opposite in Aquarius and as the Full Moon rises in the passionate & fun-loving sign of Leo all heart-centered matters of love, passion, and creativity come to the forefront.

It’s a great time to let go of the negative self-talk, self-doubt, and insecurity that keeps us from being our best and brightest self. This lunation asks us to be loud and proud about our desires and embrace some parts of ourselves that we sometimes see as too out there.

The Leo Full Moon is making aspects with the Lunar Nodes, which are mathematical points in our sky that represent our highest destiny.

Under the influence of this Full Moon, we are guided to remember that our highest destiny is not some faraway place that we must struggle to reach, but rather a small quiet space that lives within us.

Very often we are tricked into believing that living our highest destiny and leading our lives from a place of purpose must be directly tied to our career and how we are choosing to spend our time. While these can be relevant on the journey, being aligned with our purpose is more of a state of mind and state of being.

It doesn’t really matter what we do, being aligned with our purpose comes from a much deeper & simpler place.

Purpose, highest destiny, all these beautiful terms may also conjure different things within each of us. This is a time to observe what feelings they create. A time to feel into what being aligned with our purpose and highest destiny feels like.

These feelings may hold clues as to where we need to hold our attention, and what areas we need to explore. Sitting with any thoughts that arise on this matter and see how the Full Moon works with us will help us to recreate and build on new ideas.

One of the gifts that this Full Moon offers us is also the energy of lightness. It reminds us to soften our being and to focus on creating joy. Being in a state of joy is one of the fastest ways to connect us with the Divine, and the path of our highest destiny.

The Leo Full Moon also offers us a time to get inspired by this celestial energy. Bask in its boldness. Be authentic. Be vulnerable. Speak our inner wisdom. Share our point of view. Assert ourselves. And always, practice compassion towards others and most of all, to ourselves.

As the Lunar Nodes of Fate are activated by the Leo Full Moon, this is a time when we are invited to pay close attention to exits and entrances now.

Pay attention to the conversations we have during this time. The people who come in or go out of our lives. New doors will open, and some will be paths we can no longer pursue.

The Leo Full Moon is lighting up the way, so we know where we need to focus in order to grow even in new & unexpected ways.

If we find ourselves feeling heavy about something in our life or frustrated by the events that are currently unfolding around us, we can reach out to the energy of the Full Moon. Allowing its vibrations to bring some lightness into our being and into the situation.

This is a time to see if we can step back and allow any heaviness or frustrating situations to soften.

Venus and Mars are also together in a sacred union under this Leo Full Moon, sending supercharged rays of passionate, creative, and balancing energies our way.

Venus and Mars represent the feminine and the masculine, the Goddess and the God. Both of these energies live within us and can rebirth themselves under this Full Moon.

The rebirth of these principles can see us open our hearts wider, boost our feelings of passion, rethink our connection with both masculine and feminine energies, and help us connect to the Divine Goddess or God within.

Venus and Mars are also a highly creative force, which we can use not just for creative projects and inspiration, but also for manifestation work. By working with these energies, we can boost our magnetic powers and the air of attraction around us.

Full Moons are typically a time where energy is drawn out of us. Full Moons are points of release, however with Venus and Mars together in the sky, we can also draw energy to us, especially energy that allows us to feel empowered, sexual, passionate, creative, and in full ownership of our bodies.

We can use the fiery energy of the Leo Moon to embrace and own all of who we are. Feel beautiful and confident in our skin, make empowering decisions, and allow the vibrations of passion to rise up through our chakras.

Dance and movement can help with this, as can reciting self-love affirmations, and adorning our body in clothes and accessories that make us feel good.

Overall, this is a powerful Full Moon with so much goodness to offer. While we may find ourselves questioning our “purpose” and looking for deeper meaning in our lives, if we look from within, the answers will reveal themselves to us.

Enjoy the vibrations of this Full Moon, and we can use its energy to create a balance between our masculine and feminine sides, and to support creating more passion and joy into our lives.

Remember that Full Moons are release points in the lunar cycle. It’s when truths are revealed, conclusions are drawn, and the climax has been reached. From this point forward, we take the information that’s been given to us, and we are encouraged to find a new way forward.

Fixed signs will be most impacted by this lunation. This means that if you have your Rising, Sun, or Moon in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius, you will feel the energy of the Full Moon most potently.

Love and Blessings ♥

The Black Water Tiger 2022

Today, February 1^st marks the beginning of the Lunar New Moon and the year of the Black Water Tiger.

Many cultures around the world celebrate the Lunar New Year, including China, Vietnam, Singapore and South Korea. The Lunar New Year is marked by the second New Moon after the December Solstice.

Chinese Astrology involves 12 zodiac signs, each ruled by a different animal, and the five elements- wood, water, metal, earth, and fire.

The story goes that the emperor sent out 12 animals to compete in a race and the order the animals came home would become the Chinese zodiac. Tiger being the king of beast felt he had it in the bag as he was the strongest of all the animals.

As the race came to an end strong, hardworking Ox was in the lead. Suddenly, the clever Rat, jumped on the Ox’s back, he did not even feel the little thing getting a free ride, he had outsmarted him.

At the last second before reaching shore, the Rat jumped on land, winning the race! The Ox came in second, the Tiger third, and so it went… the happy-go-lucky Pig took his time and came in last… and the Chinese Zodiac and its twelve signs were born.

The Tiger is a fierce, brave, and courageous animal, signaling that this Lunar year ahead is one where we can conquer our fears and go for our goals. There is no dream too big or ambition too great in the year of the Tiger!

The year of the Tiger allows us to tap into our own inner power and know that there is nothing we can’t achieve when we put our mind to something. In fact, the year of the Tiger is often a positive omen when it comes to career advancement.

The year of the Tiger offers the confidence and support we need to make things happen. To pursue big dreams, a daring goal, or a project.

Keep in mind however, that the Tiger is a patient creature that takes time to stalk its prey and make its move. While we can absolutely leap and make daring strides, we also must be patient and trust that things will align in perfect timing.

Just like the tiger hunts for its prey, we can make calculated moves but also be patient and wait for the perfect opportunity to pounce.

In Chinese Astrology, the year of the Tiger is said to bring sudden change and can shift the balance of power and money. We may see this manifesting in the world around us as we collectively begin to review what we truly value.

Western Astrology also supports this idea in 2022, as there is energy floating through the cosmos this year that is likely to change the things we value and the things that we deem as worthy on both a personal and societal level.

Our values are up for review, and with this review, we may find that we begin prioritizing new things and ways of being in our own lives.

The Tiger is not just a powerful, courageous creature but also a very intuitive one too. It has a keen sixth sense and can perceive things in its environment that we cannot.

In the year of the Tiger, we can take on some of these intuitive skills and use them to help guide our decisions forward. By trusting our inner voice and paying attention to the subtle cues of our environment, we may notice the signs and clues the Universe is sending to guide us.

The element of water also enhances the intuitive energies of the 2022 Lunar New Year. The element of water can also heighten our emotions and make us more sensitive to the energies of the world around us.

Feeling extra sensitive can be a superpower and help us connect to the frequencies of the Universe, allowing us to feel at one with it all. But feeling extra sensitive can also be draining and depleting if we don’t protect ourselves or take effort to care for our energy.

Taking extra steps to protect our energetic body is going to be important this year, and we can do so by working with the healing powers of water.

Water holds vibration, so charging up a glass of water before we drink it, setting an intention before getting into the bath or shower, or spending time in the ocean are all ways we can connect with the healing powers of water.

The element of water also indicates we have to be willing and ready to go with the flow this year. We may find it hard to feel stable or secure in our footing, but if we join the rhythm of the waves, we will have a much easier time than trying to fight against them.

In Western Astrology, there is a strong pull to creating security and a building solid foundation in 2022. Perhaps the Water Tiger energy reminds us that while we can build our foundations and take steps to create a feeling of security, we can’t get too attached. Perhaps there is a certain element of surrender still needed as we progress through the year.

Water is also a highly creative energy, indicating that this Lunar New Year can be particularly favorable for creative projects.

Western Astrology also supports this idea with Jupiter spending most of the year in the water sign of Pisces. While in Pisces, Jupiter will also join Neptune, the God of the Sea, enhancing the creative and intuitive force of the element of water.

In the year of the Water Tiger, and with Jupiter and Neptune both in Pisces, the element of water will be extra strong. We may also see this reflected in mother nature with an increase in rainfall or even flooding or tidal waves.

Our attention may also be drawn to ways we can create more sustainability around our water supply and the treatment and management of water.

The year of the Water Tiger is one of ambition, courage, intuition, and creativity and water is a big theme!

Black Water Tiger Year 2022 is said to be most favorable to the Ox and the Pig, least favorable to the Monkey.

Aquarius New Moon ♥

Tuesday the 1st of February, we have a New Moon falling in the Air sign of Aquarius. This day is also Lunar New Year, and we begin the Chinese year of the Water Tiger.

The Lunar New Year is celebrated by many cultures around the world and is a time of new beginnings. Right before the Lunar Year begins, many take the time to clear out the house, reduce the clutter, and bring fresh energy into their homes. The past is forgiven, and a new, inspired mindset is also encouraged.

As this is an Aquarius New Moon and holds strong air energy, any actions we take to bring new energy into our lives is likely to inspire new ways of thinking, bright ideas, and a clearer mind.

Given that Aquarius is the sign of social circles, friendship, humanitarianism, technology, and individuality, we can understand that these topics will be taking center stage on the days surrounding February first.

Aquarius is an excellent creative problem solver; this is something we can all use to our advantage. With the New Moon in Aquarius, we have the chance to reboot our own minds, get a fresh dose of mental clarity, and attack old problems from a new angle. Out-of-the-box thinking will become very intuitive during this lunation.

This is a time during which we can develop a hopeful vision for the future by separating ourselves a little from all the distractions in our lives. It will serve us well to give our emotions and passions a “break” as we practice more objectivity and try to determine what level of attachment works best for us.

While there are some wonderful, fresh energies on offer under this New Moon, there are a few things to keep in mind. Mercury will still be in retrograde under this New Moon, which means we must be a little patient when it comes to fully moving forward.

Mercury Retrograde is a time of reflection and revisiting the past. It is a time when our subconscious thought patterns may come up to the surface for reviewing and revising. When Mercury is in Retrograde, we may feel like we are taking steps backward rather than forward.

Know that this retrograde energy will be short-lived, as just a few days following this New Moon on February 3rd, Mercury will station direct. It is after this date that we may start feeling the full effects of any fresh energies this New Moon has brought our way.

The other important factor under this New Moon is the influence of Saturn. Saturn will be hovering close to the Aquarius New Moon, exerting its influence.

Saturn can sometimes be a harsh energy, but this is only because it wants us to take responsibility for ourselves and our actions. Saturn requires us to ask the hard questions and to ensure that what we say we want, and our behavior is in alignment.

Saturn may deliver to us some real-world lessons, giving us a much-needed reality check. We may be forced to confront something we have not been taking responsibility for in our lives, or we may find we are confronted with a challenge that is necessary to achieve our goals.

Know that whenever Saturn is involved, there is an opportunity for growth and success. Saturn gives us the hard lessons because it knows we can handle them. It gives us the hard lessons so we can keep growing, keep leveling up, and lead the life we are destined to lead.

If we notice any challenges or hard obstacles arriving with this New Moon, we need to remember that we are being supported & given the strength to move through it, and on the other side of it, we will be rewarded! Saturn always leaves rewards whenever it stirs lessons in our lives.

Saturn’s influence is also a strong cosmic support of longevity, so this will be the perfect New Moon to create long-term goals. Saturn can give us the perseverance needed to stand the test of time, so know this is on your side too.

Another cosmic force worth mentioning around the time of this New Moon is the harmonious alignment between Jupiter and Uranus.

Uranus is the natural ruler of Aquarius, so it is always worthwhile to see what a planetary ruler is up to under its corresponding New Moon.

Uranus being in harmonious alignment with Jupiter is definitely a positive omen that will help to shift us out of limiting thoughts and into a more hopeful and abundant mindset.

Uranus is the planet of awakening, and as it teams up with expansive Jupiter, there is also the opportunity for some serious ah-ha moments and illumination. While this can definitely be triggered by the New Moon, know we are working with this energy all through the month of February.

Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign. Fixed energy is stable and stubborn. While it is resilient and deeply values commitment, it can be afraid of change in any form, whether that is a new beginning or a necessary ending.

Air energy, on the other hand, is playful, flirtatious, and incredibly adaptable. It can be flighty and inconstant, but this is largely due to its insatiable curiosity.

Combining this energy, we can understand that Aquarius is actually very balanced, it has the stability of Fixed energy and the flexibility of Air energy. Aquarius possesses much mental strength and is driven through life by its active mind, constantly searching for more wisdom and experience.

Additionally, Aquarius is the ruling sign of The Star in Tarot. The Star is a card of hope, faith, and destiny. It is an abstract card, coming directly after the Tower in traditional Tarot.

The Star helps us to find hope in darkness; it depicts the ways in which we recover from tragedy, re-center ourselves when we get lost on our journeys, and settle into a sense of interconnectedness within the cosmos. The link here to Aquarius is fairly intuitive.

Just as the Star refers to interconnectedness, so too does Aquarius. Aquarius urges us to find our place in the Universe, and to dare to shine bright enough to guide others on their journey, as well.

One of the major lessons of this lunation is that a certain level of emotional distance is necessary from time to time, and that we cannot be in a hotheaded and codependently attached state 24/7.

For that reason, practicing healthy and moderate detachment can help us break away from destructive behaviors that are holding us back, and craft a more inspired perspective in their wake.

Overall, the Aquarius New Moon is about clearing our mind so we can expand it to bigger and brighter horizons. With a clear mind, we can also start seeing new opportunities and welcoming in fresh new perspectives.

Love and Blessings ♥

Cancer Full Moon ♥

Our first Full Moon of 2022…. A Full Moon will be rising in the watery, intuitive sign of Cancer on Wednesday the 18^th of January. The Moon loves to be in the sign of Cancer as this is the sign where La Lunar is exalted, it is where she feels most at home, and each of us can tap into this harmonious energy.

We have begun to feel the building energy of the Cancerian Full Moon already and we can begin to tap, then as the Full Moon wanes we can begin to settle into the energies and whatever has arrived.

Full Moons are a time of release and letting go, and we are going to have to give this some extra consideration under the Cancer Full Moon. There may be a heaviness in the air which means we have to take conscious effort to shake off all that feels suffocating or disempowering.

The reason for this is the planet Pluto, which is hovering close to the Full Moon, exerting its influence on the sensitive Lunar energies. Pluto is the planet of power, so our attention may be drawn to the power dynamics in our lives, where we feel the most powerful and even where we feel the most powerless.

Sometimes Pluto’s influence can make us feel stifled or that we are under the thumb in some way. It can intensify any pressure we are feeling, particularly in our relationships.

If any of these themes come up, we need to think about how we can claim our power back. How can we put ourselves in the driver’s seat of our lives?

Constantly waiting or depending on the actions of others can put us in a powerless position, so we need to be mindful of thinking this way. Be mindful of basing any of our actions and beliefs on the attitudes and values of others. Be mindful of any thoughts that start with – “When this happens, then I will be at peace/happy/calm.”

Waiting for “this” to happen is the trap! So, in these instances we need to find ways to tune into the calm regardless of the actions of others or the climate that surrounds us.

If we find ourselves feeling any oppressive energy under this Full Moon, just know that the Universe is supporting us to shake it off using the power of movement. Movement can be very healing and we may feel this even more so under the Full Moon.

Dancing, running, walking, swimming, or simply standing up and shaking out our entire body from head to toe are all ways to release and free any built-up tension or feelings of restlessness.

Another practice we can do is to simply observe the relationships in our lives and any dynamics that are contributing to feelings of powerlessness.

Becoming aware of any of these dynamics can be enough to help us create a shift.

While power dynamics are a theme for this Full Moon, there is another sweeter and softer energy floating through the cosmic skies at this time too.

This sweeter energy comes from the planet Neptune, which is in a harmonious position at the time of the Full Moon. Neptune is the planet of dreams and spiritual growth. It holds the vibration of unconditional love and reminds us of our connection to the entire Universe.

Whatever we find ourselves through during this time, we need to remember we are not alone. We have a Divine spirit team on our side and they can work with us to help release and shift any heaviness, sadness, or worry we may be feeling.

The Full Moon is a time where the veil is naturally thin anyway, and with the beautiful energies of Neptune, it will be easier for us to connect with higher realms and our higher self. All of this can be incredibly healing and remind us that we are all part of something so much bigger than we can really comprehend.

Connecting with our spirituality can also be a soothing practice under this Full Moon. We can use the energies of Neptune to deepen our meditation practice, to pull some oracle cards, or to connect with our intuition.

This energy also supports any creative projects we may be working on. In fact, the power energies from Pluto and the soothing, creative energies of Neptune can be a wonderful dynamic for supporting creative work and for getting our “art” out in front of our desired audience.

Full Moons can also be points of completion, so we may just find that any projects we are working on, particularly creative ones, come to a natural end.

Overall, this Full Moon offers some moments of harmony but also some heaviness too. Our attention may be drawn to the power dynamics in our relationships, and we may find ourselves needing to consciously adjust our behaviors.

Let’s focus on empowering ourselves and trusting that there is celestial support raining down upon us.

Get creative and shine under the light of the Cancerian Full Moon.

Love and Blessings ♥

Capricorn New Moon ♥

We have a New Moon falling in the Earth sign of Capricorn Monday the 3rd of January.

Having a New Moon very early at the beginning of the year sets us up to bring some fresh energy into our lives. The start of the year is typically a time when we start thinking about our goals and ambitions for the months to come so, a New Moon here adds to that fresh start energy.

Capricorn is ruled by the Sea-Goat, an ambitious sign, a mythical creature that can swim the deepest oceans and climb the tallest mountains. It is this agility, skill, and ambition that flows through us when the Sun and Moon align in Capricorn.

Goal setting, setting intentions and making our wish lists for the year ahead is perfect here with the New Moon in Capricorn as we are very supported during this time. But we also have to follow up with actions that we can take too.

This is a time to take responsibility for the life we have always wished to lead. It’s a time to put any excuses we may have to the side and to set the structure and boundaries needed in order to achieve our goals.

The start of 2022 may feel a little sluggish with Venus in Retrograde and Mercury about to follow on the 14th, but the Capricorn New Moon offers a gentle reminder that it’s time. It is time for us to instigate real change and to help us along even more as we have a positive aspect between the Moon and Uranus.

Uranus is the planet of freedom, liberation, and awakening, and its favorable position under this New Moon means we can harness its energy and use it to our fullest advantage. This aspect’s spiritual meaning to positive change, freedom, and higher self-awareness.

This aspect makes us more open-minded, adventurous, experimental, and progressive. Heightened intuition can lead to flashes of insight and glimpses of the future. It can also lead to greater self-awareness and the confidence to express the more unique, creative, or quirky sides of our personalities.

This is a time of unexpected but positive change, freedom, opportunity, and excitement.

Now is also a very good time to think and reflect within to see if we have any self-limiting beliefs or thoughts that run through our minds. Are we self-sabotaging, are we shrinking ourselves down or stuck in old programming patterns? We are fully supported under the dark night of the New Moon to help release any of these behaviors and to switch any limiting beliefs into ones of expansion.

While switching out of limiting thinking can take time, know that simply becoming aware of where those limiting beliefs are hiding can often be 90 percent of the healing process.

The Capricorn New Moon also is conjunct to fixed Star Nunki which brings the energy of honesty and optimism. So, this really is a positive and hopeful moon phase. There should be more freedom and opportunity to bring back some adventure and excitement into our lives.

The asteroid Pholus is also active under the energy of this New Moon, which indicates that some new and perhaps surprising information may come into our awareness.

Whatever is revealed to us under this New Moon, the presence of the asteroid Pholus indicates that the information can bring healing or perhaps closure to a wound.

On a global level, the Capricorn New Moon is likely to trigger the effects of the Saturn Uranus Square that we have been working with all through 2021.

The Saturn Uranus Square is a long-running energy that is essentially about freedom vs. control. We are seeing this manifesting on a global level, especially in regards to the pandemic but we may also be feeling it in our personal lives as well.

Again, as Uranus is in a favorable position under this New Moon, know that the pendulum leans more towards freedom than it does control. While we need some control and stability in our lives and in society at large, the alignment of the planets shows us that the call for greater independence and freedom will eventually triumph.

I think a lot of us are questioning just what freedom means to us now after the last 2 years. Here in Australia, we have been so controlled and now that “they” say we are opening & offering us back “Our” freedom many of us still feel limited in what we can actually do as the virus is running rampant at the moment.

But people are becoming less fearful and less rebellious. The Capricorn New Moon should bring unexpected breakthroughs or changes in relation to the pandemic.

Such changes would lead to more personal freedom, air travel, and greater opportunity to add some adventure and excitement back into our lives. This more optimistic outlook is supported by the next major planetary aspect: Jupiter sextile Uranus in February 2021.

All in all, I feel this Capricorn New Moon is swinging the pendulum towards positive change and beginnings. This is a powerful New Moon for setting ambitious goals and intentions, as well as taking some actionable steps to push our lives in a more progressive direction.

Happy New Year… Much Love and Blessings ♥♥♥

Scorpio New Moon ♥

Friday the 5th of November brings us a New Moon in the water sign of Scorpio and marks the opening of the Eclipse Gateway. The first of two Eclipses occurs in 2 weeks on November 19th during the Taurian Full Moon Lunar Eclipse.

The gateway of the Eclipses opening begins with the Scorpio New Moon and starts the powerful portal of transformation that occurs during Eclipses.

The energy of the Scorpio New Moon centers around being true to ourselves, transformation, shifting into a new space of being and looking really deep within.

Scorpio is ruled by water and typically, the Moon is very at home in the water signs, however, Scorpio energy can create moodiness and is quite an intense sign, we may find our energy levels and emotions difficult to balance.

New Moons are about retreating within, and Scorpio energy is also very reflective. We may find ourselves delving into the darker corners of our hearts and minds. We may find ourselves dealing with some of the denser emotions that we have been holding on to. It can be intense but is always the step to transformation and Scorpio is all about transformation.

Scorpio is one of the few signs that is represented by three archetypes- the Scorpion, the Eagle, and the Phoenix.

Each of these animals represents a different stage in the evolution of consciousness that we move through when working with the energy of Scorpio.

One wonders what sort of shift is needed for a small Scorpion that has only known life on the ground, to transform into the majestic eagle. What needs to happen to the Scorpion to get to this stage?

There is no doubt that to undergo such a drastic transformation, drastic life situations are usually at the core. The Scorpion has to completely lose its way of life in order to allow the metamorphosis to occur.

Under the Scorpio New Moon let’s all take a moment to think about those Scorpion to Eagle transformations that we have journeyed through in our own lives.

Chances are we have all experienced at least one completely life-changing event that has seen us leave the comforts of our small little world and shift to the vantage point of an Eagle.

It is these metamorphosis points in our lives that help us to grow into the person we were meant to be. It is these transformation moments that shape the course of our lives.

The Scorpio New Moon also asks us if we have been wearing masks for others? Have we been compressing ourselves in order to fit in? Going along with things that are not in resonance with who we are? Playing roles that don’t fit?

This New Moon asks that we look to the places where we have not been honoring our truth. The time has come to live our truth and that means giving up the masks once and for all.

There is a great deal of information and truth flowing with this Scorpio New Moon which is amplified by the beginning of another Eclipse cycle. Transformation is at hand in the midst of all this truth. During this powerful period, we need to connect with what sets our soul on fire.

What passions are calling to us? Where is our inspiration leading us to? These are important things to consider under the dark night of the Scorpio New Moon.

This New Moon is geared to inspire change, so this is a good time to think about what needs to transform in our world and then go about setting our intentions. Work with the energies of this New Moon by knowing that it can help initiate a big shift and change if that is what is needed.

If you feel inclined, use the moody energies of the Scorpio New Moon to delve into those shadowy corners, who knows what beautiful insights will come into the light.

Overall, the energy of the Scorpio New Moon can be used as a catalyst to help us walk the bridge between any transformations we are currently moving through.

Regardless of what Scorpio represents in our personal horoscope chart, direct point-making or a verbal, emotional release is the theme here. Our feelings may have conflicted with another’s recently. And we may have also felt torn between tending to our own needs and supporting a particular individual.

Now, the New Moon in Scorpio offer a chance to speak our mind, lay our cards on the table, and make thoughts or feelings known.

Aspects…

Moon & Uranus… gives an urge to try new and exciting ways to live life to the fullest. We seek the freedom to do things our own way and will most likely resist being told what to do. A struggle for independence can be related to a struggle to explore and express our unique individuality and personality.

We may anticipate something new on the horizon or feel nervous. Sudden changes and unexpected encounters and events are possible that may leave us feeling unsettled and anxious. Learning to adapt to change will help us feel less disconnected. By keeping an open mind, exciting opportunities may arise from any changes that offer a better way forward.

It is better that we don’t resist the urge for the new and unusual, or rebel and changing conditions. Otherwise, this electric and spontaneous energy may escape in a destructive way such as a minor accident. Odd behavior or a radical about-face in someone close to us may cause anxiety too. Arguments or separation may result from impatience or unwillingness to adapt.

Mercury and Venus bring encouraging peace and harmony while reducing stress. A more settled frame of mind and good communication skills makes it easier to deal with any sudden change or unexpected events caused by the New Moon opposite Uranus.

Uranus can also make people distant and impulsive which can lead to sudden breakups. But Mercury sextile Venus love, friendship, cooperation, and diplomacy help you bring people together, find peaceful settlements to disputes, and break down any barriers to progress. A good business sense also helps us find opportunities for success.

All in all, the Scorpio New Moon is a mixed bag energetically with the main themes being deep reflection & transformation.

Diving into the dark deep ocean of our feelings and trauma we can find the brilliant jewels hiding in the crevice’s, bring them to the surface & use them to heal and transform.

Love and Blessings ♥♥♥

Aries Full Moon ♥

Thursday the 21st of October, we have a Full Moon falling in the fire sign of Aries. There is a lot of energy surrounding this Aries Full Moon & we may start feeling a little overwhelmed! The energies are intense, but they offer us some wisdom, healing, and insights too.

There are quite a few strong planetary aspects with the Aries Full Moon, the biggest & most intense is the T-Square between Mars, Pluto & the dwarf planet Eris.

This configuration of energy can create a building of tension, but sometimes we need tension to inspire ourselves into action.

Sometimes, it takes feeling stretched to our limits to put our foot down, speak our truth, set boundaries, and act, to propel forward and change the current situation.

The Aries Full Moon is calling for us to take affirmative action. But this is where it gets a bit tricky. With Mars, Pluto, and Eris involved, sometimes it can be hard to know what action to take.

Sometimes, these planetary forces can see us acting from a place of ego or in an effort to gain control. Sometimes these planetary forces can trigger our darker, more heated emotions, causing us to lash out or perhaps be too forceful.

Simply knowing that these energies are at play can help us navigate through the fiery bits.

This is very assertive energy, and sometimes we do have to be firm, stand our ground, and communicate what we need.

The Aries Full Moon also aligns with a positive fixed star that gives preparedness, steadiness, determination, and final success. So, the only things standing in our way of success are the ruthlessness, jealousy, and aggression of Mars square Pluto.

Mars is the fearless warrior, and when its energy is strong, it can be a good time to overcome some of our deep-seated fears. It can be a good time to put on our warrior helmet and find a new level of confidence.

Fear is popping up under this Full Moon & we are being asked where fear may be guiding our decisions and see if any of that fear is justified or simply linked to insecurities from our past. By acknowledging our fears and sitting with them can help us find the next step to take.

Another thing we are being asked is to look at the ways we have transformed and rebirthed over the course of the year. What would the new you do? Who do you want to be in this situation?

Thinking of things from this vantage point may help us to shift out of old habits of the past, and instead embrace new habits that are a result of the rebirths we have gone through.

Sometimes there is no such thing as the “right” decision. Instead, it is just about making the best of the decisions that we do make.

At the end of the day, every decision and action we take is an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to shift our life in a new direction.

On a deeper level, this Full Moon may also be guiding us to think about what goals or values we wish to let go of. As this Full Moon falls in the sign of Aries, we may be taken back to earlier this year when we set some intentions or perhaps had some well-meaning plans about what this year was going to look like for us.

At this stage in the year, we may be feeling proud of ourselves for accomplishing all that we have, or we may be feeling upset that this year didn’t turn out the way we thought it would.

Regardless of where we stand, this Aries Full Moon is a bit of a reality check, helping us to reassess some of our goals and dreams, and what we have been doing, or not doing, to achieve them.

While there is a lot of action based energy under this Full Moon, there is another softer, subtler energy we can tune in and connect with too, and this comes from the asteroid Chariklo.

Chariklo is known as the asteroid of Spirit Medicine, the partner of Chiron & considered a magical Lady Shaman. It carries a feminine energy that can remind us to connect with our spiritual side and to honor the soul part of our journey.

Sometimes it can feel like we are living two lives, we have our human self that must navigate the 3D world and all the ups and downs it brings, but we also have our spirit self too, that knows that everything is ultimately perfect and always manifesting exactly as it should be. Sometimes it is hard to create a bridge between these two ways of being, but that is where Chariklo can help.

Its energy encourages us to view things from that spiritual perspective. To get out of 3D thinking and look beyond to that place in our heart where we know that everything is always just as it should be.

Chariklo’s energy is like that sweet spot we can find when we are in deep meditation. It is the peace, the stillness, the calm, and the love that we feel when we reconnect with the true essence of who we are.

With the quite intense energy surrounding the Aries Full Moon, take the time to tap into the softer energy of Chariklo.

As always when navigating through intense themes spending time in nature, getting creative, meditating, dancing, singing listening to our favourite music all helps us feel grounded & less in our heads.

Love and Blessings ♥♥♥

Pisces Full Moon ♥

Tuesday the 21st of September, we have a Full Moon rising in the water sign of dreamy Pisces. The Moon represents our emotions. It governs our emotional body and is strongly linked to how we are feeling. The Moon is also connected to our feelings of safety and security.

The Moon is also linked to feminine energy. This energy is present in all living things, and on a potent Full Moon, we may find issues arising when it comes to our relationship with the feminine. Sometimes we can see this playing out in significant female relationships in our lives too.

Under the light of the Pisces Full Moon, we may feel more emotional, extra sensitive, extra creative, and extra intuitive.

Intuition is often described as a feeling of knowing. Often, you don’t have any concrete proof or reason for feeling the way you do, it is just a strong sense of knowing.

In many ways, this place is where the September Full Moon is calling us to go. It’s calling us to step out of our rational mind and into our feeling space. It is calling for us to disconnect from seeking evidence and instead, allow ourselves to connect with our feelings.

The Pisces Full Moon will also illuminate where we may be deceiving ourselves. Where in our day-to-day lives do, we tell ourselves that we are going with the flow but in some cases, we are struggling to swim upstream? Do we tell ourselves we are feeling fine when emotionally we may be all over the place? Are your actions harmonious with our feelings and our ideals? If not, the Pisces Full Moon will highlight where we need to refocus and what we need to release.

All Full Moons are a time of energetic release, and the Pisces Full Moon will shine on any areas that need to be released especially on an emotional level

Think about what you no longer wish to hold onto. Send it love and gratitude, and then under the bright light of the Full Moon, breathe it all away.

The Pisces Full Moon will also shine brightly on the lessons we still need to learn about responsibly relating while balancing our need for freedom and independence. The aspects between Venus and Saturn challenges us to explore the dark side of jealousy, manipulation, and vengefulness while teaching us to find the gold in human relationships and interactions, even though relating can bring extreme messiness and chaos. This is the time to dive deeply into what makes our relationships tick. There is wisdom to find and treasure to retrieve here.

Neptune, the planet of illusions, dreams, and intuition is very active under this Full Moon. Whenever Neptune is active, it can create some foggy energy. We may feel like we are wading through a thick forest, unable to see what is ahead. It may be harder to make decisions or to think with a clear mind.

Neptune can also evoke our emotions, allowing us to see what is bubbling beneath the surface. Our emotions are not always our truth, but they are always valid, and they can be guides as to what we may need to explore, look at, or dive deeper into.

Emotions can be deceiving, so it is best not to label or judge them. Instead, allow them. Imagine them as visitors, coming and going, ebbing, and flowing. Sometimes our emotions just want to be heard and seen. Sometimes when we allow them to rise, they can then so gracefully fall away.

Neptune is also strongly connected with water and the oceans. Spending time at the beach or by the creeks can be an elixir to the soul under the Pisces Full Moon.

This Full Moon is strong in the Air element, asking us to align our words with the ideals they represent in connection with society and all humankind. Change is in the Air, but again, depending on what side of the fence you are on, change may be hard to recognize. Rather than looking at what constantly divides us, Pisces Full Moon asks us to release what keeps us from admitting we are one humanity that shares one Earth

The Pisces Full Moon, along with the energies of Neptune, makes a fantastic combination for all artistic and creative activities. Getting creative also helps to ground us.

Although the energy surrounding the Pisces Full Moon is good for connecting with our intuition and our creative dreams, there is a chance it can also feel overwhelming and push us into a place of emotional instability.

This can also manifest as a feeling of needing to escape from reality or escape from the pressures of our life. While some forms of escapism can be healthy, there are other forms that can do us harm.

This is just something to be aware of under the energy of this Pisces Full Moon. If we feel the need to escape, we need to look at healthy outlets such as getting creative in whatever form, write, meditate, dance or curling up with a good book, or even finding a good movie to disappear into.

Overall, the Pisces Full Moon of September is a dreamy, creative, and intuitive time. While we may feel extra sensitive, there is a beauty in connecting with the subtler frequencies of the world around us. There is also a beauty in connecting with the ebbs and flows of our emotional body.

While every emotion we feel may not be our highest truth, part of our human experience is to allow ourselves to feel and experience emotion

It is through our experience that we become more compassionate, more open, more aware, and more kind. It is through our emotions that we can begin to understand on a deeper level what is driving us and where our intentions may be coming from.

Allow yourself to explore your emotional rhythms under this Full Moon. Embrace what flows without judgement, let it move through you like a wave, and trust the intuitive instincts and whispers that are left behind as you do.

Love and Blessings ♥♥♥

The Winds of Change ♥ September 2021 ♥

As we awaken to warmer days and feel the last tendrils of winter slipping away, we find ourselves in the month of September & the numerological energy of 9. September is considered a power month and represents transitions, endings and also a power number of creation

September holds some significant energy changes with the Virgo New Moon on the 7th. The Virgo New Moon makes a harmonious aspect to Uranus. Giving us the spiritual meaning of positive change, excitement, self-awareness and psychic ability.

We may find ourselves also retreating deeper within to uncover or work with some generational or ancestral wounds. There is a lot of shamanic & ancient knowledge/energy around this New Moon.

If you would like to join for a collective hook up during the night of the New Moon to focus on positivity & raising our vibrations feel free to join the event Plant the Seeds of Positive Change & Raise The Vibrations!! | Facebook

♥ More on the New Moon soon.

September 7th also begins the shadow stage of the Mercury Retrograde happening later in the month and begins slowing down.

This slow-down period is referred to as the shadow period. At this time, it is recommended that we start to slow down too and think about the projects we wish to work on and complete, rather than adding anything new. For now

September 9th unlocks the numerology code of 99, the 99 Gateway which is a number of completions, endings, and progressing. 99 can also be linked with leadership energy as well. Its vibration allows us to use the wisdom we have gained to step up and take leadership of our lives in a new way.

September 10th, Venus moves out of the air sign Libra, into the water sign of Scorpio. Venus in Scorpio can help us connect with our more sensual side, allowing us to tune in to our desires with greater ease. Venus in Scorpio is also a very sensitive placement, so we may be feeling extra intuitive or aware of our deepest emotions.

September 14th Mars will enter Libra & this is an important milestone event this year because while in this air sign, it will align with the Sun. This takes place on October 7, however starting from this day we are likely to feel the build-up of this energy. Strong Mars energy can make us productive, energized, and fearless about forging ahead, but it can also trigger heated emotions and lead to burnout if we are not careful. Finding balance will be key here.

September 21st, we have the sensitive Pisces Full Moon. We may find ourselves feeling extra expressive or even a bit moody. Neptune is active on this Full Moon, which could cloud our judgment or create some confusion. With Mercury about to go retrograde soon, this feeling of fogginess may be amplified. While this is always true, this is definitely a time you want to be trusting your intuition! If something feels off, listen, pause, and pay attention

The big shift for the month comes with the Spring Equinox on the 23rd. The Festival of Ostara & Isis. The hallway point in the Astrological Wheel. The actual beginning of Spring. The Equinox is a highly sensitive time of year that thins the veil and allows us to feel into the subtle energies with greater ease. It also indicates that we have reached a turning point on our own journey through the astrological wheel.

The astrology wheel begins at Aries Season and ends at Pisces Season. Libra Season is the midpoint of this wheel and brings about a change in the flow and direction of energy.

This shift in energy is also mirrored in mother nature too as we enter the season of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere or Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, both of which bring so much change and transition.

September 26th Mercury enters its last retrograde cycle for the year in Libra. Mercury will remain in retrograde until October 18th. Mercury is considered the messenger planet. When it travels retrograde, it unearths messages from our past that we may have overlooked or missed the first time around.

Peeking into October… This is looking like a month of huge cosmic shifts and changes, and it seems that all through September, we will be getting whispers of this energy. We may begin feeling a need to make changes in our own lives, or we may be seeing things shift and change in the world around us.

Focusing on positivity, standing in alignment with our true selves, linking with like minded positive people feels to be the key now more so than ever. The seasons are changing, the energy is shifting let’s all raise it to a higher frequency… Love & Blessings ♥♥♥

Aquarius Full Moon ♥

Sunday the 22nd of August, we have a Full Moon rising in the sign of Aquarius. This will be the second Aquarius Full Moon of the year with the previous one being in July. The Aquarian Full Moon is also a seasonal Blue Moon. It is rare to have two Full Moons back to back in the same zodiac sign and indicates strong transformative Aquarian energy on offer & that the two Moons are linked.

What was focused on around the first one in July is again focused on with this second one in August. It may be that something started in July and finishes in August, or we get an idea of things in July and see culminations in August. This can be a bit time for culminations and results, and this may focus on change, the future, our dreams, or the masses.

Aquarius is represented by the water bearer, which has the ability to take the emotions (water) of the world, transmute them using the power of air, and return them to the earth cleansed and renewed. Whenever we have strong Aquarian energy, we receive added support to shift and clear dense energies.

During the Aquarian Full Moon, there is the potential to amplify change, activate our desire for greater freedom, or shine a spotlight on all that needs to be revolutionized in our lives.

Aquarius energy is all about doing things differently and stepping away from our comfort zone in order to experiment with something new. It encourages innovation, growth, and looking at things from a new perspective.

The Aquarian Full Moon is extra strong because it occurs at 29 degrees. 29 degrees is the last degree of a Zodiac sign and is called the anaretic degree. In transit, it’s a point of crisis energy. So, the culminations and results we may see can have a major impact on us, and we have to make sure we’re reacting appropriately, not lashing out or rushing. This is hot energy, and we have to be smart!

With the Sun also winding up its journey through Leo at the time of this Full Moon, there is an added boost of creative and courageous energy on offer to us, which can be used to help any new visions take flight.

While Full Moons typically represent completion points, know that there are creative energies on offer to help take any endings and shift them into new potentials.

Aquarius also rules over technological advancements and policies that are put in place to protect the whole, rather than just the individual.

While focusing on the community and the whole is great, when it swings too far out of balance, Aquarian energy can sometimes be too quick to bypass the emotional, compassionate side of humanity and instead, can look at things from a more technical and machine-like viewpoint.

We may see more of these themes come to light, especially on a global level, under the second wave of this Aquarius Full Moon.

Know that with Aquarius energy, it is all about seeing things from a new perspective, keeping an open mind, and finding ways to stay out of black and white thinking.

Jupiter, which is currently retrograde in the sign of Aquarius is also conjunct this Full Moon, making its energy very active.

Jupiter expands what it touches, so it’s likely that whatever is manifesting for us under this Full Moon will be loud, bold, and clear for all to see. Jupiter tries to make things better, since Jupiter doesn’t like anything serious or intense or negative. But Jupiter can expand on anything, including the bad. Jupiter just makes it easier to make it better if you put in the effort.

Saturn, the traditional ruler of Uranus, aligns harmoniously with planet Venus. Venus trine Uranus is wonderful for dealing with long-term investments and commitments. It is also an excellent opportunity to work through any relationships or financial problems there might be in your life. Any artistic or creative work can result in heightened productivity.

There is no guesswork with this August Full Moon, it will deliver what it needs to deliver and will take what it needs to take.

Trust your instincts and try not to second guess yourself. The energies of this Full Moon are strong and courageous, so connect with that place and push ahead in whatever direction feels right to you.

On a deeper level, this Full Moon is guiding us to connect to the energies of our past in order to use them as fuel for our future.

We may have had to let go of so much over the last year. We may find ourselves standing in an empty field, wondering where our “old life” has disappeared to.

There is a beautiful frequency flowing in with this Full Moon that reminds us that no matter where we stand today, the power and love that we have cultivated in the past still exists.

While we may be looking at a totally different life, the energy of our past achievements still remain, and we can use that power, that love, and that strength of our past and apply it to this new chapter that is waiting for us.

All is not lost. There is wisdom in the air. There is an energy dancing in the breeze of all who have traveled on this land before us and all who will travel on this land after us.

We can connect with that energy; we can connect with that breeze and feel into the strength and wisdom that it offers.

So many things have transpired on this Earth. Good things, bad things, tragic things, heroic things; so many lives and stories have graced the surface of this planet, and all that energy, all of that fuel, is carried in the wind.

Under the Aquarian Full Moon, we can connect to the energy that reminds us of our strength, our power, and our courage. We can connect to the energy that created the rivers and the mountains and some of the greatest ancient civilizations.

We can connect to our ancestors, their voices, and their wisdom. We can connect to the life force that lives all around us and will continue to live on till the end of time.

There are strong cosmic currents linked to this Full Moon. It is a time of expansion, clarity, and honoring the changes within us. It is a time for making clear-cut decisions and for trusting our instincts.

It is also a time to remember that all your past achievements and successes exist as energy. They surround you and support you and are there to be used by you under the light of the Full Moon.

Tune in with that energy and recreate it in a new and better way. Tune in with that energy under the Aquarian Full Moon and use it to surrender to the new.

Love & Blessings ♥♥♥
