The New Moon in Aquarius is and invitation to philosophize about a better more unified world. This is a call to action for all of us as a collective. Now we must open our eyes and hearts in order to think and act globally. Aquarius is not always the most sensible of energies to deal with. Therefor it is of the utmost importance that we remain grounded and in tune with our own needs and those of others.

Each lunar cycle the Moon travels in an elliptical pathway at times closer and others further from the earth. When Luna is very close in what has come to be called a “Super Moon” our feelings become intensified. Today’s New Moon is in very close proximity to the big blue spaceship we call home.

The sign of Aquarius can easily make our feelings hard to pinpoint and identify. This nebulous quality is disconcerting for Lunar ruled and influenced beings. This is defined by the Moon or the sign of Cancer on an angle in the natal chart. If you have never learned about your personal astrology, now is the time to dive in with a private consultation. Contact me to create yours. If you have been extra moody or feeling frustrated lately, use this month as a working opportunity to sort through these blockages in an active and responsible way.

 Added to the cosmic soup this month is the fact that we have four planets meeting up in the sign of Pisces. Together they are concocting a recipe for confusion. Thank goodness Saturn turned retrograde yesterday in intense Scorpio and is acting as a rudder of reason to guide us through this misty pool.

January 20 the Sun enters Aquarius turning our collective consciousness to a new and unexpected direction. This is a great time to reconnect with friends. Why not try stretching beyond your normal comfort zone and trying something completely different?

Mercury takes his first retrograde of the year January 21 which lasts through February 11. This is sure to create more delays than usual. Aquarius rules electronics and communications so please be sure to triple check your work and back things up! I suggest keeping on track with current projects and wait until next month to begin anything new.

Venus floats into the dreamy pond of Pisces January 27. She urges us to go on creative dates and to dive into our craft. We could purchase concert tickets or attend a cultural event. Any and all of these suggestions help to satisfy her longing. In a few days on February 1, Venus connects in an intimate conjunction with nebulous Neptune. This fogs up our vision and makes it challenging to see ahead. In this type of situation it is best to move very slowly and without strong definition. Just be patient.

The Full Moon in Leo February 3 insists we get out and play. Parties with food and opportunities for performing are the best way to quench the lion’s command. Take some of your extra energy and choose to invest it in your spiritual future. Why not plan to join me in Peru this June on the Magical Mystical Journey of a Lifetime? Read the complete Itinerary and details HERE and join the Facebook page HERE.



Feb 11th Mercury turns Direct in the first degree of Aquarius having drifted backward since the New Moon. In the coming weeks we have the opportunity to continue forward in a new light.

Aquarius wants us to realize we are cosmic beings having a human experience. Lighten up on yourself and those around you.

I wish you a month of spontaneous freedom. The energy of Aquarius challenges us to decipher and feel the difference between entrapment in the mind and true bondage. It is easy to get caught up in the non-reality of Maya-illusion. Contact me for your appointment today so I may help you navigate these waters.

I invite you to read on for my predictions for the 12 signs.


Aries March 19/20 to April 20/21
Health can be delicate so be gentle with your demands. When the people around you slow down and appear in reverse, take this as a signal to shut down. Take a few days off. It is better to have a wellness break than be forced into days off due to stress related situations. When your energy pack fills once again, treat a special someone to a night out. It has been a long time since you were the instigator of fun. Is it really worth it being so serious? Tap into your intellect for guidance and use your gift of gab to get you going in an upward motion once again.

Taurus April 20/21 to May 21/22
The state of your health is improving and with it your level of happiness is rising. Be sure to share cheer and good vibrations with everyone who has been standing by you and picking up the slack. Now is a good time to keep your socializing to very small groups rather than large gatherings. This helps to avoid a particularly unruly situation with a challenging personality. If you have been scheming a career move, hold off until the latter part of February. Right now is too bumpy to get your ideas across and solidify an agreement.

Gemini May 21/22 to June 21/22
That electrical piece of equipment that has been giving you early warnings signs of failure is sure to quit. This is echoed in your central nervous system. Heed all early warning signs and by all means take yourself to a massage or Reiki session. Then, take that tired electronic device to the repair shop. This is no time to practice denial. Catching the early stages is key in create health and happiness. Get real and use your wit and wisdom to rise above any perceived challenges. You have strokes of genius this month so be sore to capture them when they flash through your mind.

Cancer June 22/23 to July 22/23
You feel as if you are due for rest and renewal but there is no time right now. The busy spell has you feeling exposed at times. Realize this is helping to get you into financially fit shape. Stay as frugal as possible and you can easily get out of the red and into the black. When you least expect it a new patron or donor shows up. You are not in synch with what is required but you have the ability to read the situation and act. For goodness sake be sure you are resting well and up for the needed surge of energy to follow this through.

Leo July 22/23 to August 23/24
You are in no mood for conforming or letting things just slide. Though you are most likely in the right it is still a good idea to back off a bit as others cannot keep up with you. You must learn to trust your feelings and not take the criticism of others so profoundly. Sparks and fireworks may have sputtered and cooled down in your primary relationships. Rather than feelings blocked or stagnated by recent relationship shifts, see this as an opportunity to set strnger and more long lasting foundational stones. Instead of blaming things on others ask yourself what you can do to keep things going.  

Virgo August 23/24 to September 23/24
Let go of your naughty little habits and make the changes that you have known you need to give into. This way you end the annoyances that have become menacing. You are able to easily see the mistakes of others so rather than gloating over the corrections you easily made, just quietly work behind the scene. This is a much better way to serve those around you. Take time to really look at where you want to be and then take a small step toward this.  

Libra September 23/24 to October 23/24
The desire to reconnect with an old friend is hovering overhead so go ahead and reach out. Venus, your ruling planet is gracing your solar fifth house of lovers and creative projects. Use her power in a positive way. Single scales whether looking or not are about to be side-swiped by love. Those of you in relationships utilize this magnetic force to skillfully and creatively spice up your love life. You are a hot fire of burning love. Now go out and light up someone’s life!

Scorpio October 23/24 to November 22/23
Take the leap of faith and plunge headlong into all new projects. Your level of trust has steadily increased. This has in turn equally strengthened your ability to surrender. Continue to utilize bumps and challenges as opportunities to witness and allow. Know that you are not the making things happen. This accelerates you on past being the authority figure. Now it is time to relax and enjoy the solid ground you have created. If the love bug has not bitten you yet it is about to! Weed through the options before diving in for a full commitment. If you already have done so, then be prepared for intensification.

Sagittarius November 22/23 to December 21/22
It is indeed time to open your mouth and roar. You have every right to let others know what you think and feel regarding their recent actions and inactions. Use this as a much needed lesson for days to come when you must speak up. This is a lesson in doing so sooner. You have great allies to help in times of need. Listen to their opinions and take extra time to soak it all in before making a move. If needed, engage a seasoned advisor to stand for you and put some heat on the frozen negligence. Take your feisty energy to the bedroom and into your creative outlets.

Capricorn December 21/22 to January 20/21
The change you have been scheming is ready to be placed into action. Be sure before doing so that you comb over every little detail to assure perfection in your presentation and choices. When elevated and provoked be sure to take a good long time out. You must develop new methods to release these feelings in such a way that you do not effect and infect others with frustration that is not theirs. Some of these feelings are coming from outside forces. There is nothing you can do but accept and adapt. Once you are cooled down, get back to work and steadily moving forward.

Aquarius January 20/21 to February 18/19
You have many visitors in your house both physically and cosmically. Some are quite fond of practical jokes so lighten up and roll with it. It is likely you are in the mood for a makeover so think things out before changing drastically. Though times may feel a little thin now, the investment of energy in future projects is valid. Make every effort to gather a new group of like-hearted individuals together for the adventures ahead. It is not necessary to understand how your new level expression is materializing. Just know that it is very close to presenting itself and be ready with an open heart.

Pisces February 18/19 to March 19/20
Creativity is the song you are dancing to with lovers and friends. If you have been holed up alone it is time to get out and meet new people. You are magnetically attracting so many opportunities for which you may want to engage the advice of a trusted friend to help you sift and sort through. This way you can relax and enjoy all the sensations while being guided to make the best choices. Take care to keep clear boundaries so as to avoid unhealthy habits. Keeping your schedule and diet steady are important components for health and well-being. In addition money comes rolling in. Be sure to stash some away for the future.

Moon Wisdom December 21, 2014 8:35:49 p.m. EST Jensen Beach, FL©Ambika Devi





We celebrate the solstice point as well as the New Moon in Capricorn today. How wonderful that the New Moon and the Solstice point occurred in the same orb of time. This seemed to drag me deeply into the dream world and I was unable to meet the deadline of getting this newsletter to you, my devoted readers. I appreciate your understanding and patience as I found myself wrapped in a blanket of meditation.


The New Moon in Capricorn brings us stability to overcome fears and move past any self-doubt. The Saturn rulership over the Sea-goat bides us to hunker down and work hard. Do your best to create a cohesive plan and move steadily in a determined direction, rather than flinging yourself haphazardly at desires and goals. The secret to your success is in the maintenance of a connection between the emotional body and the spiritual realm. This helps in your quest to reach for the heavens.

The stilling effect of Capricorn along with the dwindling winter light in the northern hemisphere is absolutely perfect for deep meditation. If you are thinking of beginning a practice, get in touch with me for coaching and a private session. If your daily reflection time seems to have gotten away from you, try waking early in the morning before sunrise and sitting quietly. The dark stillness is the perfect way to easily dip into the quiet contemplation of healing silence.

The Solstice point at zero degrees Capricorn is the perfect time to reboot and reset your dreams and aspirations. It seems I needed an extra day to soak in this before I could sit at he keyboard and crank this astrological report out! It is no surprise to me as I contemplate all of this that another hang up has been Uranus—the ruler of my ascendant—floating in station awaiting his whacky forward motion. Uranus has been retrograde since the Summer Solstice earlier this year and for all creative types this has been a kybosh on getting the ideas up and out of the psyche and into the material realm.

Hang on to your hats and take a moment to look at the shifts happening on December 22 when the “supervisor of strange” Uranus clears his station and turns to what he calls forward motion. These last few days may have felt like wading through peanut butter in your brain. In order to move through this we must exercise strong persistent perseverance. Visualize a clear goal and steadily continue to move toward it.

December 23 somber Saturn steps into Sagittarius compelling us to take a long, hard look at our belief systems and what really needs to shift for the greater as a society. Be aware to not dump your judgment on others without taking extra time to look the implications on your own behavior. Wrap your mind around the fact that there may not be a solution to challenges but instead an adapting point. As the ringed-one retrogrades next year from June 14 to September 17, 2015 he will revisit the tail end of the Scorpio points he just departed one more time. This brings a possibility that we need to clean up a few more things before he glides forward once again into the open-minded sign of the Archer. When he does, he stays until December 21, 2017.

January 3, Venus floats into Aquarius inspiring an ease and independence in our relationships. Some may find their partners acting aloof. Don’t let it knock you off balance. Use this time to take the love you have and spread it around universally.

Mercury joins the Goddess of love in Aquarius the very next day on January 4. Heightened awareness and multidimensional vision is available helping us to see a greater amount of possibilities then we have been able to over the past months. This is sure to create unusual new communications in the media and unexpected happenings in the news. This period is prolonged due to Mercury’s first retrograde of 2015 when causing him to stay in the Water-bearer’s sign through March 12. I am looking forward to seeing what this does for all of us!

January 4 the Moon is full in sensitive Cancer. This creates cautious, lovable and caring feelings. Meanwhile our egos ruled by the Sun—who is in the opposite sign of rational Capricorn—urge us to seek out financial security. Luna is conjunct personal planets Mercury and Venus causing some crazy shopping behavior and communications. A lose square from Pluto in pragmatic Capricorn adds exceptional alchemy to the terrestrial stew. It is always a good idea to use Pluto’s presence as a reminder to move ahead as he never supports stagnation or hesitancy. Intense mood swings are possible, so be forewarned. Let’s place a portion of our attention to the political arena as there is likely to be an interesting display as the year comes to a close.

Mars swims into the sign of the two fishes January 12. While visiting the watery home of Pisces we are inspired to lay down our weapons and find ourselves a much more sensitive. The upside is that any competitions slow down as edges are noticeably softened. This transit lasts until February 19, and is an excellent period for finding ourselves on gallant ground as we disarm potential bombs and quite contrarily initiate spiritual and artistic activities.

The Sun enters Aquarius January 20 for his annual visit. The water bearer teachers us detachment and the best way I know of to work with the timeless state of meditation. Take care in your times of witnessing to not alienate those you love. Hold your tongue and think things through a little longer before blurting. This helps to keep the surface smooth and everyone in harmony.

I wish you a New Year filled with Love, Laughter, Happiness, Great Health and Abundance! I am here to help guide you with stellar expertise! Contact me for your appointment today.

I invite you to read on for my predictions for the 12 signs.



  



Aries March 19/20 to April 20/21
Keep talkative tendencies in check to be sure confidential information stays put. Extra focus on immediate environment is necessary particularly within your living space. Family members demand extra time. Keep your focus and intentions clear so as to stay on track with goals and aspirations. Gently place romantic matters on the back burner to give full attention to detail prior to launching your innovative future plans. The gratitude you receive later is worth it. A new group of like-minded people invite you into their inner circle. Say yes as this brings many new friends and a vast array of opportunities.

The year ahead is filled with lovers and plenty of time for play. This activating energy affects children and creative projects as well. Make good choices as to how to place this to good use.

Taurus April 20/21 to May 21/22
Everything you have been hoping for in the work sector dials clearly into focus. Go for the final push toward the raise on your outside of the box proposal. Your charisma and charm are irresistible. Adding to this the odd and bizarre are on your side helping you gain momentum. Creativity is peaking and everyone is saying yes to your ideas. It is as if you have the only point and everyone wants to move toward this target. Adding to the high, your love life is peaking. Existing romances receive a super charge.

The year ahead for single bulls has family members trying all sorts of tricks to pair you up. If imagination is your priority, your juices are flowing! Redesign your schedule and make time for your personal creativity.

Gemini May 21/22 to June 21/22
It is time to dust off your notebook and sign up for those courses you had almost given up on. Time suddenly spreads open and gives you the perfect opportunity to return to your long dormant studies. If you have been saving and wondering when you can get back to them, the time is now. Go through your old journals to find the hints and gems that are leading you on this quest. The amazing news is that you are about to be fully funded for this adventure so dream big!

The year ahead is filled with new attractions and visits to former passions. This is taking shape in people, places and things. Do your best to observe all possibilities before committing.           

Cancer June 22/23 to July 22/23
Finances may seem like a game of fifty-two pick up but hang on as this is only short-term. The best way to avoid upsets is to clearly plot and plan long-range ideas and schemes so that when opportunity shows itself you are ready willing and able to put it into action. Meanwhile groupings of events long overdue for retirement are now ready to let go. Fortunately you feel closer to nature and more clearly led by your intuition than you have in a very long time. Trust your heart, it is always right!

The year ahead continues to shower you with a steady flow of gifts. When making decisions make top-of-the-line and extravagant choices. You deserve it.

Leo July 22/23 to August 23/24
Take some extra down-time so you are able to tune into your dreams and quiet inward journeys. If you have been trying to choose between various offers go for the smaller gatherings rather than the larger and stick with local travel instead of foreign. There is no need to stir things up right now. The extra space in-between thoughts and soothes you into quiet. This helps you to handle unexpected tremors at work and in your social circles.

The year ahead is yummy and full of love and romance. In addition many old loose ends are easily tied up. Put all your energy to good use and give to others whenever possible. Adding to your cosmic gift list, your intuition is spot on.

Virgo August 23/24 to September 23/24
Daily routines and habits are changing. Life is like this. We always move forward and never in reverse. Though change is not your favorite state to be in, you must find a way to embrace it. Perhaps now is not the best time to stick with status quo or old pragmatic patterns. Relax and think things out with regards to your finances. This is an opportunity to witness your reactive state and choose to be gentler on yourself and others.

The year ahead is a parade of similar types and situations. Smoothly negotiate this by catching and identifying similarities early on. This helps to avoid recurrences and unnecessary stressors. It is also an opportunity to practice kindness.

Libra September 23/24 to October 23/24
Be the one to reach out to the people you miss. Let them know you are thinking of them and how important they are in your life. Your new relationship is filled with exotic nuances never before experienced. Enjoy it. New friends and locations are on the horizon. Get everything in order and be prepared to journey off into exciting new territories. Revisit social situations you have been avoiding with a fresh new perspective. Find ways to have them work and produce for you, rather than acting like an energy drain.

The year ahead brings you into many new situations that you have been craving for a long time. Trust them to be of great assistance in the realization of your goals.

Scorpio October 23/24 to November 22/23
Trust your intuition and head spontaneously into all projects. The relationships that feel like home are indeed the right ones so go ahead and make a long-term commitment. There is no problem with extending a trial period if needed. Either way you win. Moving or remodeling is in the forefront as a way to launch this New Year. Once this project is underway you can indeed relax back into the creative venture that had been pushed to the back burner.

The year ahead continues to be about work and perseverance. This is a wave worth riding as long as you set some time aside for yourself. You have the ability to be successful in all of your endeavors.

Sagittarius November 22/23 to December 21/22
Happiness comes from meeting an intellectual challenge. It has been quite some time since you have felt enough support and space to pursue this. Your living situation has changed for the better and though you may feel a bit cramped, you find that adapting and facing the challenges offers opportunity to delegate responsibility and in turn provides you with more space and time. Use this to rise above hang-ups and see the gifts before you.

The year ahead beckons you to discover and experience things in a way you never have before. Try a new look to spice things up.

Capricorn December 21/22 to January 20/21
Have you been craving a big change? This is the perfect time to do a one-eighty or better yet go off in a completely unusual new direction. Have you been dreaming about starting your own business or completely changing careers? All indicators show you are bubbling with triumph. Before heading out on too many interviews, really decide what it is you want. Design it clearly in your mind. This helps to weed out unnecessary routes and places you on the fast track to success.

The year ahead is filled with innovative solutions and creative projects. You are on top of your game and able to see solutions clearly. Be grateful.
                                                                     
Aquarius January 20/21 to February 18/19
A major new beginning is occurring so stand ready to receive. It is fine to take a little extra time before plunging head first as long as you keep your mind clear that this is inevitably happening. Invest by exploring new social offerings as well as different financial sectors. All of these prove to pay back immensely when you make a full commitment. There is no need to do so right away. Wait until you are completely confident.

The year ahead helps you realize that when you share deeply from the core of your being, you are better than when you are isolated and alone. Go out and connect with new people and the ones you love.

Pisces February 18/19 to March 19/20
You are an imaginative being. For some reason you let the mundane needs of life get in the way and pull you off this point. Find your tools and get back to the expression you love. This helps you to feel whole and happy once again. All creative expressions including children and lovers play in the forefront. Take plenty of time to give attention to all of them. It is as if you are warming up and awakening from a long dormant time. Enjoy each and every opportunity and document them well.

The year ahead shows you the importance of happiness in your work. Let yourself be led to unusual assignments involving foreign languages and hidden information. The discovery of solutions fills you with joy.
