Are people hearing you correctly today? Partial Lunar Eclipse July 16 2019

I am beginning to wonder if anyone is really hearing correctly today. Likely this is a result of Mercury edging back into the sign of Cancer just after the Partial Lunar Eclipse occurring here on the East Coast USA at 5:38:05 p.m. coming up in minutes!

If your line of communication is damaged today or has been in the recent weeks leave it alone for a few days. After a rest period of 3 to 7 days if things have not gotten better—then it is time to move on! Trying to end things today is not going to work!

I have had numerous discussions with clients today who are miserable yet they cannot hear me telling them the situation is over. After telling them to leave it alone for a few days they then are aggravated that I have not told them what to do. 

It is really important that we understand we all have free will. Therefor, we cannot expect others to make our decisions for us.

The Partial Lunar Eclipse today is giving us an opportunity to really take charge of our own lives and to be responsible for our own decisions! Today is a day to worship our greatest teachers in the 

Far Eastern Traditions.

I urge you to look at your present relationships and realize that these are your greatest teachers. Relationships are classrooms filled with lessons

The moon is experiencing this eclipse in the sign of Capricorn while the Sun is in Luna's home sign of cancer. This is a really sensitive position and all communication with Mercury the Trickster in retrograde insists we take our time assimilating information. Be sure you are really listening and understanding what is being said to you before you assume or draw a conclusion.

Pluto, the South Node, and Saturn are conjunct in very close proximity to the Moon all in the sign of Capricorn. This is adding so much sensitivity to our feelings and reactions today. Tread lightly and if you are above it—be tough but compassionate! Some people are moving a lot slower and are further down the mountain. Take care to not kick rocks in their faces as you climb further or push them into a tumultuous sea of emotions!

I suggest taking time to meditate and relax today away from the temptation of communication. If things are already twisted then it is best to let them cool down for a few days before making an ultimatum.

Tonight is the perfect night to dream with Jupiter in Sagittarius in the 12th house of this chart. Here is a guided meditation to help you get into a soothing and deep sleep as it inspires you to dream vividly and recall your dreams in the morning after a very restful sleep.

New Moon 15 degrees Pisces March 6 2019

We experienced the New Moon at 11:03:51 a.m. EST on the morning of March 6, 2019 in the sensitive sign of Pisces.

A new moon is when Luna is traveling along with the Sun and today during the exact point of the New Moon at they were at 15 degrees Pisces. This gives us an opportunity for gentle contemplation. Neptune the ruler of the watery realm of Pisces happened to be right alongside this magickal transit at 16 degrees. 

All New Moons are potent times for setting new intentions for our expansion. A Pisces lunation brings with it a great potential for healing. The sign of the two fishes can be just as fickle as it can be empathetic and soulful and this new moon also has us feeling intense ripples of energy that we have no explanation for. 

Today I wish for you to be extra gentle with yourself. Be loving and allow yourself a moment to turn inward and dream. Hopefully you celebrated with a circle of close supportive friends.
The trickster planet Mercury hit his stalling point of station to begin his retrograde motion of backpedaling through Pisces. This backtracking is likely to stir up a lot of feelings over the next few weeks about our personal values and what we stand for. I suggest you set clear intentions today.

This new moon is bringing our wildest dreams bubbling to the surface. The waters ruled by Neptune supercharge us with psychic receptivity. Minding our thoughts and keeping our focus on what is positive and good for the world and all sentient beings is the best choice. 

I can imagine this is a time of great transition for you. Many of my clients and friends—myself included—have been undergoing massive changes and rebranding.

There are two more transits that can be cited as causes of what many are experiencing in the current shaking and shifting. They are the transit movements of Chiron and Uranus.

The Planetoid Chiron who represents past wounds both from this life—and if you believe in karmic patterns—the carry-overs from past lives; has just moved into the energetic sign of Aries.

This can give the feeling that we are being transformed by flames. It is as if a firecracker of change is lighting up a new sector of your natal chart. Chiron had been in Pisces since February 9, 2011 and now he is inspiring a sudden whoosh of energy. I urge you to look back and think about where you were back in 2011. Now look at where you are and how far you have come!

If you are shaking your head saying “no way” right now and feel like the flow of energy has suddenly hit the brakes— this is coming from the planet Uranus who has just entered the earthy sign of Taurus.

Uranus is creating turbulence and in his current position the rumbles are under the surface. Trust me; you are going to see them soon. I personally noticed the most intense period since October 2018 through the Full moon this past February 19, 2019. I have seen patterns in businesses and in individuals showing the intensity of this. We can see it in world news as well.

A Pisces new moon plays with us by juxtaposing the real and the unreal. The ground may feel as though it is shifting but I promise, as soon as the dust settles, the seeds you plant today are going to take root! Choose wisely what you are planting and where you are placing your hopes and dreams.

New Moon in Sagittarius December 7, 2018 2:20:14 a.m. EST

The New Moon at 7⁰ Sagittarius 15’ has us wondering what comes next. You may have misread a tense situation and an opportunity that is inviting you to take a deep dive into the knowing of what you really want in your life. Sagittarius is the optimist and expands everything he comes in contact with. 

December 7, 2018 Mercury turns station direct in Scorpio quincunx Uranus in Aries. This blasts a chord of discontent to many. With Mercury once again heading forward, it can be challenging to hold on as you are likely experiencing chattering vibrations and a bumpy ride. Anxiety and nerves are heightened and there is a preternatural stillness that has you staring into space, wondering what comes next. Be gentle with yourself.

A New Moon is a conjunction with our Sun. This is what causes the Moon to be dark during these three days in the orb of a New Moon.

Boisterous Jupiter—the ruler of Sagittarius—rose early this morning along with the Sun and the Moon.

Sagittarius represents our ability to reach high and set clear goals. I suggest focusing on only what you really want. 

Before doing this, it is also important to be centered and grounded. A little trick I like to use is to stand with my legs slightly wider than my shoulders, with my knees relaxed. Next, breathe in and out of your nose. Then, bounce your heels against the ground keeping the toes and balls of the feet planted and in contact with it. After 10 to 15 bounces, stand still with eyes closed. Here is a lesson I taught to my students:

This helps you reestablish your vision and allows you to release the pent up pressure you have which keeps you from blowing up!

Resentment and insult are signs of denying vulnerability. Reaction to tension is a choice. When we react, this creates more tension. Instead, we must respond to all challenges from the heart. This gives the ability to sail smoothly into 2019.

When you are able to relax, the rewards return in a big way. Focus on clearly communicating and speaking what you truly want during the orb of the New Moon through December 8, as Mercury moves direct and picks up speed once again.

As we move into 2019 it pays to have humility, understanding, and compassion. This shows maturity and aides in overcoming pride.  Turn within and self-evaluate rather than judging others.

Mercury in a square aspect to the 11^th house ruled by Leo in this New Moon chart and gives a great opportunity for reevaluation of self. The 11th house represents the groups and organizations we are connected with.

The holiday season and coming of the new year can indeed be a challenge with Vesta in Aquarius causing us to crave freedom rather than going after our dreams. Why squelch it? Ask yourself how you can find the balance?

Are you seeking a partner?

Venus in Scorpio causes a craving for love and support in the arms of the perfect mate and wanting more than ever to make this sensation into a home with a hearth. This is due to Ceres in Scorpio urging you into an emotional commitment. Don’t jump too fast! it is best to be sure and I suggest weighing out all possibilities!

The Sun in a tight square to Neptune has us questioning our perceptions of reality and looking at the world with foggy glasses. 

This also creates slippery ground which is not good for finding our footing.

It can seem that the more you try—the more you feel swallowed up and drawn into the depths of paranoia. Neptune square this lunation can cause depression. I suggest reaching out to those you trust for comfort. It is better to stop holding on thinking you can handle all of this alone. Instead find new creative ways to get on track.

Watch out for martyr tendencies and have a reality check regarding your limitations and attributes. This is due to Pallas Athena hovering on the Horizon in the 12^th house in Libra, sextile the lunation. Saturn is square to Pallas and closing in on Pluto over the next year when the two fully conjoin on January 12, 2020. This gives us time to prepare for inevitable transformation. 

Cultivate intelligence and sharpen the mind. Hold the tongue to avoid Tourette’s like outbursts. Choose humor instead. Breathe more deeply and look at both sides of challenging situations by choosing diplomacy over defense.

Put any extra energy into creativity and learning.  This is going to help to keep the mind focused and wrangle the sub vocalization of inner chatter into submission.

The Hunter's Moon October 24, 2018 12:45:04 p.m. EDT

Today's Full Moon at 1ᵒ Taurus with the Sun at 1ᵒ Scorpio conjunct retrograding Venus at 4ᵒ Scorpio. Nearby are Jupiter and Mercury also in the fixed sign of Scorpio.


Intense attraction is likely to spontaneously occur so keep your eyes open and ask yourself if you are making good choices. This combination can easily lure you in a questionable direction and given all of the fixed signs at play here downright stubborn!

When the moon is in the sign of the bull it is exalted. Uranus is conjunct Luna adding a burst of the unexpected. Keep your eyes wide and be ready for anything and by all means put this to good use!

The Sun has just slipped into Scorpio luring you into the depths of your dreams and psyche. Go ahead an do a bit of clean up. Spring is not the only time of year for this! Now is an ideal time for internal cleansing as well as a household purge.


Be sure to look up in the sky this weekend after the sun sets to locate these planets:

 

Do you have a gratitude practice? This is the perfect time of year to begin one. Grab a journal and make a habit of writing three things in  the morning and again three things at night that give you a full-body-sensation of happiness and gratitude. This moon is the perfect time to begin!

Total Eclipse of the Moon July 27, 2018

Celebrate the longest Total Eclipse of the Moon I have ever witnessed at 4:20:22 p.m. East Coast time today! Yes you read me right! Read on for all the details!

A Lunar Eclipse is caused by the Earth casting a shadow on the Full Moon as a result of it passing between the Sun and the Moon.

I would like to debunk statements that have been flying around the web the last few days due to today's Full Moon having a cosmic ton of hype associated with it.

1. False nonsense: The moon is going through an entire lunation cycle.

THE TRUTH: The Moon is Full during a Lunar eclipse. The fact is that it "appears to go through a cycle due to the progressive shadow being cast as a result of the Earth's shadow!

 The Moon remains full during a Lunar Eclipse!

2. False nonsense: This is the Blood Moon

THE TRUTH: Today's Eclipse produces a red colored Full Moon. The Blood Moon occurs in October. An easy way to remember this is think of pumpkins when you think of a reddish moon.

Many cultures give different names to the Full Moons. Different full moon names are found among the Celtic, Old English, and Native American cultures.

For more information on a variety of namesfor the Full Moons please visit: https://wicca.com/celtic/celtic/moonlore.htm

MORE TRUTH
It is true that today's Total Lunar eclipse is to be the longest one of the 21st century measuring at one hour and 43 minutes, and yes it is happening during a Mercury retrograde that began yesterday on July 26. For more accurate information on Mercury retrogrades please visit: http://www.astrologyhoroscopereadings.com/mobile/mobile-2018-mercury-retrograde-calendar.html

 Is this a big deal? That depends on your personal experience and where this lunation is transiting your chart!

 

Contact me for your Natal Astrology consultation during this Mercury Retrograde and receive a 90 minute session for the price of an hour! Message me to request this directly!

So why is this being called a Blood Moon?

This is due to the color the Moon will appear to have in areas where it is visible.

When our Full Moon is totally eclipsed; a reddish-brown color occurs.

When the Moon travels through the shadow during an eclipse—technically called the Earth's umbra which is the center portion of a shadow created— only a small portion of sunlight can reach the lunar surface through the Earth's atmosphere.

Due to this light waves become stretched out and create a reddish hue. This dark reddish hue looks similar to blood, and so we have the name!

I look forward to being your Astrologer!
With LOVE and Magick always,

Mercury retrograde conjunct Saturn December 6, 2017

Retrograding Mercury has swooped back to connect with Saturn in Sagittarius. While the two converse today it is a good idea to get things cleaned up. If you have stagnant situations in stalemate, this could be the needed push to get them handled and cleared out.

Mercury backpedaling in his own sign of Gemini inspires possibility. Today, as he connects with Saturn in the sign of the archer, we are given an opportunity to look at the conversations of the last few days and those that are yet to be initiated.

The re-evaluative actions of this current transit to your natal chart shows the area in life where this is much needed. Ask yourself what you have sitting on the back-burner that needs to be brought forward. Are there structures or constructs in need of review and rehabilitation?

Oh so often there is much chatter pointing at the destructive nature of the trickster in retrograde. We are privy to murmurs warnings not to sign contracts, not to travel. I prefer to show you the proactive use of such energy.

The truth is, that a journey which takes place in the middle of Mercury retrograde is often wonderful. The key is to depart and return during the retrograde. It is when we begin or end outside of the margins set by his stationary points that we experience challenge.

A retrograde of any planet—and keep in mind they all do have retrograde periods of sweeping back degrees and sometimes a sign—is an opportunity! All the words you can come up with that begin with the letters “R” and “E” come into play. Here is a great list to help you. Look at the planet and its nature. In this case Mercury, the swift and often comical messenger. Words I am already experiencing this go-around are: Relax, read, renew, reveal, review, retrospective, reconstruct, remix, and rehabilitate. The contact of Mercury with stable Saturn gives a stronger foundation and infuses your ability to ground this into a useful and interconnected outcome. 

Look over 2017 and ask yourself what you would like to complete. Then make a plan and begin to think about whom you would like to engage as a strong ally. Mars is sextile to the pair lending a boost of balance in his last days in Libra as he moves onward December 9, into his home sign of Scorpio.

As 2017—a number 1 year—comes to a close: 2+0+1+7=10=1, realize that you have dropped many seeds. Perhaps you are aware of them, perhaps not. Any good garden needs a bit of care and weeding. Do all the clearing and renewing you are able to muster before the next New Moon in Sagittarius on December 18. This sets a tone for 2018, a master number year of 11 thus 2, when we embark on new partnerships and the journeys they bring

 

I am available for readings these next two weeks and shall be on retreat the last two weeks of this year. Come to see me this weekend at Scented Dragon or contact me for phone and Skype sessions.
