Have a jolly good weekend!

We are now in the post-Full Moon/eclipse fall-out as the ripple effect slowly expands into all aspect of our lives. As said previously, eclipses trigger release, change, endings... and whatever was started to that end (no pun intended) it will continue to slowly manifest in (some of) our lives over the coming months. Even if it seems nothing happened, if you are due for a change, just know that however small that ripple may seem, it could be a wave by the time it hits its target.   Remember the saying about how a butterfly flapping its wings in New York can change the weather in China? Yeah! Its that kind of thing.... Dont worry, its only going to release something you really don't want anyway....(deep down) Meanwhile... Sun Venus ands Mars are all settling into a nice rythm in slow and steady Taurus where they bring us down to earth and help us ground our plans and dreams. With Mars and Venus and Sun activating  sensual tastes and desires, we are in the mood to enjoy fabul

Wesak Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse

   This Wed April 25 th , an Eclipse/Full Moon brings to culmination the energies activated by the  last New Moon, which was in Aries. Mars, warrior planet of aggression, drive and desire,  figures prominently in both. Right now Mars is sitting very close to the Sun and both are opposite Saturn and Moon in Scorpio. This Saturn/Mars opposition creates a very pressured, almost stuck kind of energy. As the build up of Mars momentum from the last few weeks suddenly meets the fixed energy of Saturn in Scorpio, it may   feel like  running smack dab into a concrete wall (Saturn). As the pressure  builds up to the Full Moon, there are many other mitigating factors affecting this pressure, some of which will produce some movement, some relief. For starters, the  Sun and Venus in Taurus are already helping  ground and sooth the residual tension left over from such a fiery  month.  Venus in her home sign encourages us to bathe our senses as we fulfil the physical need for

Sun, Venus move into Taurus.

--> Both Venus and Sun have moved into the earthy sign of Taurus. Hurray hurray, its almost May! We can start to smell the newly budding blossoms of spring as Venus in her home sign encourages all to revel in earthly pleasures and delights.  Taurus is the time where we dig into the fecund earth to plant seeds that will become food and flowers and beauty to enjoy. This lovely earthing will help us calm down after a very fiery (and   tragic) period of intense Aries activity. Aries is the warrior and the innovator. Other planets involved (Pluto,Uranus) have brought out the more aggressive, destructive side of Mars energy.  We need the soothing arms of mother earth to help us heal from crisis and shock. Yet even though this Taurus grounding will definitely start to smooth us out a bit,   Mercury has just moved into Aries, activating the Uranus (sudden shocks) Pluto square (rebellion, revolution. This influence adds fire to our thinking and communication, so wat

When Push Comes to Shove

--> Stellium in Aries; What do you desire? Get going…now! Sun, Mars, Venus together in Aries : Have lots of sex, do dancing Jupiter in Gemini Square Neptune/Chiron in Pisces: Express your deepest self. Give yourself a hug! Saturn in Scorpio:   If you're gonna swim... become a diver...  Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn: Look again at what is not working. Reassess supporting structures . Mercury in Pisces sextile Moon: Poetry, art, wistful dreaming; a sensitivity too exquisite to bear! We have also recently had two Yod formations (also called 'finger of god' !) pointing at both Pluto and Jupiter , and their influence is still palpable.  Plus what’s been called the  ‘ Grand Irrationality ’ is being activated big time! Apparently (according to the dude over at Aquarius Papers ) the latter is a magical, mystical aspect allowing spiritual forces to influence whatever is going on in our current lives. This energy is not linear or log

Mars Venus go Dancing! New Moon in Aries

Venus (feminine, beauty, receptivity) and Mars (masculine, aggression, desire) are hanging together  in Aries, the sign of the warrior, which means there’s a lots of feisty, fiery, lusty vibrations dominating the airwaves right now. This weekend’s theme is love and sex and how they combine in our lives.   Strong desires and passions are in the air, and as Aries is an impatient sign, many will succumb to that itch they just have to scratch. And why not? It’s a natural part of being human, and many would agree, a most agreeable one at that. Yet it seems sexual expression is still somehow taboo, despite our cultural environment being heavily laden with sex at every turn. Its like we are afraid to have our cake and eat it too!! Because of unconscious negative beliefs around pleasure and sex (Saturn in Scorpio now is having us look at these), we all have our hang-ups and issues, and there seem to be countless ways of turning sexual friction into mega drama!
