NEW MOON IN GEMINI

Hello Everyone!

Better get your skates on people, this Lunation is coming at pace fizzing with a sugar rush of information, which can leave us feeling overloaded and more than a little scattered but being the sign of duality it also offers us the opposite side of the coin which in this case is discernment.
The New Moon in Gemini is encouraging us to develop our skill base to allow us to work with the multiple information pathways we have to navigate.
Fast paced, fast thinking, communicative and flexible the Twins in their higher vibration urge us to respond to what’s presented and define our choices. We are learning to receive information differently, moving from automatically interpreting though mental analysis, to absorbing though all of our receptive senses

We already do this. But treat it as a ‘SMASH GLASS ONLY IN AN EMERGENCY!’ last resort. Why? Because we use this capability only when we are in a state of heightened awareness. Our perceptions sharpen. We receive information from every available source and are able to make split second decisions that our left brains would take 3 times as long to process. We bypass it entirely, in certain situations our very survival depends on our ability to do that
So what if we could learn to use this capability to process information in our every day life? With a greater sense of calm, without the adrenaline spike, flight or fight response? (Although of course still smash glass if necessary) This Gemini Moon gives us the opportunity to explore rewiring our information receptors in a way that doesn’t preclude “using our brains” it just makes other data sets available to us for more holistic decision making.

Everything appears to be getting faster. Fast paced Mercury ruled Gemini is all about speed of thought, multiple information pathways and it;s now inviting us to expand our ability to rapidly sort and retain what is important to us and jettison the rest. I think we’re aiming for a working state of flexible clarity.

Uranus is also tightly trined Pluto, this configuration was last seen in the Flower Power explosion of the 60’s. Now here we are at the dawning of the new Aquarian age and the ideas of peace, love and flowerpower to the people can once again be seen shooting up through the cracks in the concrete of authoritarianism and conformity.

Through June Uranus, also squaring the South Node can throw a curved ball on where we think we’re going. Though this can prove productive as it nudges us out of our comfort zones. The South Node is in Virgo so we are moving out of familiar and habitual routines into the magical mystery tour of North Node in Pisces, still linked with the angelic and majestic fixed Persian star Fomalhaut.
Seductive Pisces takes us out of our mind and into the realm of the illusory and the mystical, where Gemini’s insistence on incisiveness and rapid response can be useful in piercing the mists and help us discern what’s true and what’s not.

This New Moon invites us to play with our perceptions, to claim the limitless potential of our minds and stretch our mental horizons. Have fun!

FULL MOON IN SAGGITARIUS BLUE MOON

Hello Everybody!
I hope you’re all doing well. I’d like to apologise for ducking out on you for the past month. Truth is I had a lot going on and just didn’t have the band width to give this the attention it deserves. I don’t know how regular I’ll be in the coming months but I will drop a post to let you know if there’s one incoming. But I wanted to touch base over this lunation because it really does feel like a massive shift in the energy field.!

There’s lots of lovely mutable energy over this Full Moon highlighted of course by the Sagittarian restless need for change, and that’s not surprising given the energy is all about shifting the past out of our way and becoming unstuck from old habits. This is presenting us with the blue ribbon, the gold standard of convergence! Over the last twelve months especially we have been constantly braced to walk through that ultimate portal that finally releases us from past energies and this Full Moon might just be that start!. The ride could be a little bumpy as the pressure of the unfinished and unrealised pushes to the surface making the unresolved visible. But this is not so we can ‘work on it’ or ‘process it’, we’ve done all the working on and processing we need to.. YAY! It’s so that we can simply recognise what we are leaving behind.
This is emphasised by the South Node currently in Virgo which is about our past daily habits, what we have been doing but are now moving away from, leading us to the ultimate choice point where we seize this opportunity to decide on new habits, new boundaries and new priorities.

We’ll need to travel light because where we are heading now, we can’t take the old baggage with us. Nor should we fuss too much about the labels on the bags in the left luggage terminal, ‘unfinished’, ‘failed’ whatever because it really doesn’t matter and when you’re choosing what to pack you could uncover hidden gems. Because not everything hidden away will come under the heading of ’inadequate’ . We may well find gifts tucked out of sight because at that time we considered the price of visibility too high to pay.

GEEK ALERT
Coming to the fore in times of great Galactic change, we have the four fixed stars of Persia. So called because they hail from the ancient Persian cosmology of 5,000yrs ago.
They are referred to as fixed because they stay in one place for 72 years at a time and are also called the Watchers

ANTARES the Watcher of the West acts on the seekers of Universal wisdom reaching out to understand the interconnectedness of all things. Currently conjunct this Moon

Also forming conjunction ALDERABAN in Gemini is the Watcher of the West symbolised by the powerful protection of the Archangel Micheal

REGULUS in Virgo is the Watcher of the North presided over by Rafael the Archangel of healing and kinship

Last but not least we have FOMALHAUT IN Pisces the Watcher of the South exalted but the Archangel Gabriel, the messenger, the spiritual teacher and guide

Fomalhaut is the Watcher of the South associated with the Archangel Gabriel the messenger and spiritual teacher. Now in Pisces which adds a mystical magical dimension and currently conjunct the North Node the direction of our collective soul growth.

Jupiter the benevolent ruler of Sag brings expansion to all aspects under the spotlight of this Full Moon. Our old frameworks will feel too constricting as our horizons widen and we feel a new sense of liberation, an impulse to kick off the traces. Bear in mind that the thing you may feel most like rebelling against is yourself! We can now joyfully cancel the self editing software, boot the inner critic into touch and be defined by our own thoughts and feelings and not outside expectations.
A strong Uranian influence urges us to be spontaneous and decide in the moment. While the combined influence of Uranus and Sagittarius spurs us to intuitive action.

Astrologers have been talking a lot about timelines and tell us that every choice creates a new possibility. It’s time choose our highest timeline people

No matter what the external events it’s important to not focus on what’s restricted but focus on the expanding possibilities . Remember choosing our focus changes our experience

What we are experiencing is not happening to us, but through us. We are co- creating for real now my friends! As these new frequencies down load, how we interact with them creates our new reality. We are the lightning rod, the connecting point between Earth and Spirit.

Love to you all. Take good care x

NEW MOON IN PISCES

Hello Everyone,
Hope you’re all doing ok.
Just a quick one to say Hi! As I've been shaking off a nasty head cold and feel like my brain is cotton wool!

So this New Moon falls at the Anoretic degree of Pisces (the very last degree) when the unpredictable shadowy aspects of the sign come out to play. Pisces is ruled by Neptune which among other things deals in illusion deception and toxicity and is of course the ultimate water sign. Which accounts for the huge amounts of flooding happening globally.

On a more positive note the lunation activates our friend the Neptune Saturn conjunction, expanding our connection with our dreams, intuition and psychic sensitivity.

Coming in hot on the tail of this Pisces New Moon we have the Equinox in Aries on the 21st. And right now both signs are stacked!. So if you’re a planet and NOT in Pisces or Aries currently, you’re missing the party and with all that water and fire things are going to get pretty steamy! Steam is cleansing, it can power our trains, can even come out our ears if we get too steamed up and can make it a little difficult to see! It’s quite a volatile potent energy so we need to be mindful of how we harness it.
On the subject of water. On its highest vibration Neptune exalts our connection to spirit. And we’re starting to develop a greater understanding of how water is a Universal conduit of consciousness energy. Somebody (name escapes me) has described water as condensed light. Which really resonates with me as I’ve always seen a self evident connection between the two.(But then I would, wouldn’t I!)

We also have Mars trine Jupiter in Cancer. As trines always bring the warm fuzzies - and boy do we need those right now. -This vibe emphasises a positive focus, looking at areas that can enhance our lives. There is also a greater impulse to be compassionate. Jupiter is expansion and this energises our future plans.

And don’ t forget the fast approaching Aries Equinox. By all accounts another huge acceleration point for our growth, and with half the planets hanging in Aries the thrusters are on!

We could all do with brightening up, so this New Moon track is

Take great care .Love to you all…xx

Total Lunar Eclipse on a Virgo Full Moon!

Hello Everyone!
The Eclipse season is now in full swing on this Virgo Full Moon and as this one happens to be conjunct our planetary South Node it will amplify this Lunations usual qualities of endings, completion and renewal.

We know eclipse season brings shake ups, shake downs and shake outs and being a total eclipse this one is extra powerful. This can be tough on our bodies as they are the physical vehicles through which we are downloading and grounding this cosmic vibrational upgrade! Our bodies are our antennae. Think of it as having a new tuner installed on your radio allowing you to access a new world of frequencies. We may experience energy surges and slumps, as much as we can try to let it all flow through and be grounded in mother earth

Just a general reminder before we go on that it may be best to resist making any hard and fast plans over this eclipse! But there’s plenty to focus on as Virgo is typically busy reviewing any outworn or stale habits. In fact any repetitive tasks or situations could be due for a change that may arise suddenly. Micro managing Virgo rules to do lists and routines, the devil is in the detail and in her quest for purity and perfection she can sometimes have unrealistic and overly demanding expectations.,especially in regards to our health.
Is there something we’ve been doing repetitively that’s no longer really effective? Are we running any unhelpful, over critical tape loops that sap our confidence and make us anxious? Most of us have them somewhere whispering in the background. Virgo, a very pro active healing sign, is encouraging us to make a forensic assessment on their usefulness or lack of. Remember that this fast moving energy is great for forming new habits and Virgo is all about the habitual. So although we may find the smooth running of our lives disrupted unexpectedly we can also disrupt ourselves in a positive way by replacing negative thought patterns with tailor made life affirming
alternates. Everyone’s a critic people! So what do you most need to hear from yourself right now? Because if we don’t support ourselves aint no one else going to!. Simply because the Universe reflects back to us our opinions of ourselves. That’s the frequency we’re beaming out so that is what is mirrored back.

GEEK ALERT!
Recently discovered Dwarf Planet Chiminigagua Creator of Light in the Universe and The Spark of Creation- is conjunct this moon. Shining a fresh light, illuminating what has been obscure or hidden.
He is from the culture of the Muista people from the Andes Mountains
And Orcus the stern Etruscan God of the Underworld has arrived to punish those who transgress Universal Law. and when you think about some of what’s going on that’s pretty apt!

Full Moons are always balancing between polar opposites and this Lunation we are poised between the perfectionism of Virgo and the universal flow of Pisces. Both are mutable, both carrying very different aspects of the feminine
Neptune, ruler of Pisces is currently sitting on the world axis opening up infinite possibilities.
We also have Gong Gong - the Chinese God of flooding! - currently conjunct Pisces in the North Node. Yes! Wonderful, just what we need with umpteen Planets in Pisces! More water! Talk about washing away the old. Do you think the Universe might be dropping a hint?
This likely means yet more flooding but Alan Clay (Dwarf Planet University) also suggests that this could be a flood of insights. Are the floodgates of our psyche about to burst open?
While we’re on the subject of the life giving wet stuff - In her recent podcast Pam Gregory highlights the webinars of Veda Austin - water researcher and author (she has a website, so check her out) Where she explains how water leads our consciousness and the importance of blessing it especially before we use it! So you know what I’m going to say …And if you dont you certainly haven’t been paying attention lol!

Venus is in her happy place in Pisces and together they are sure bringing the peace love and mungbeans! Sowing those seeds of Universal love.!
Mercury in Pisces has moved away from thinking left brain and dives into the unconscious, exploring communication through our dreams, meditation and empathic connection. We will open our hearts to greater compassion for our fellow beings, experiencing a deeper spirituality and sense of oneness.

Meanwhile Jupiter in Cancer is conjunct our spiritual lodestar Sirius, trine to the Sun, giving off beautiful warm fuzzy vibes that expanding our heart energy and our desire to nurture

Our wonderful, mysterious inter galactic messenger 3I Atlas farewells our Solar System on the 16/17 th of March to continue its cosmic mission. I’ve talked about Atlas a fair bit and it’s purpose has been hotly debated. It’s not the first visitor from galaxies far far away and I think we’ll see the frequency of cosmic traffic accelerate. I feel personally that Atlas has gifted us and our Solar System wonderful things, planting seeds we wont realise the benefits of for a while to come. When it first arrived I giggled and smiled whenever it came to mind, now it’s departing I feel a sadness. Like Puff the Magic Dragon “We’ll never know just what it was and I guess we never will.” But I am filled with a profound sense of wonder and gratitude that it came at all.

This Full Moon /Eclipse track is Get What You Give - The New Radicals

This Eclipse season always brings turbulence in its wake and even more so in this year of all years where energy is shifting on a truly epic scale. So we shouldn’t be surprised if from time to time we feel like we’ve been thrown into a tumble dryer! So lets be gentle with ourselves, hug some trees, say grounded and use this lovely Venus/Pisces energy to feel the love, for ourselves, for others and this amazing planet and all its inhabitants!

Love to you all. Take care x
