A Blood Moon/Full Moon Eclipse Sept 27/28

Image
The Blood Moon /Full Moon Eclipse is upon us! (Sunday evening in North America) When the Earth eclipses a full Moon, sunlight is diverted through the Earth's atmosphere first, which sometimes causes the totally eclipsed Moon to look reddish. The Lunar Eclipse on September 27/ 28, 2015 will occur during the Northern Hemisphere's first fall (autumn) full Moon. Called the Harvest Moon in many northern cultures, it is the Full Moon closest to the Autumn Equinox (Sept 23 rd )   which increases its significance. For more info : http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/facts-lunar-eclipse.html On a mythological level, Blood Moons are seen as harbingers of change. It may seem like something is being taken away, while the potential also exists for much to be added. We just have to make space for it. This is another moment of quantum shift as things rearrange themselves. For some it will feel like the ground is shifting beneath your feet. Yet, its all just ene

Autumn Equinox: A time of Balance

HAPPY AUTUMN EQUINOX!!!!! As the Sun is moves into Libra tonight (early morning in UK)  DAY AND NIGHT ARE EXACTLY EQUAL.  This is a good time to pause and take a deep breath. Notice what you are feeling. Notice what is on your mind. Notice what is in your heart. The coming week is very intense astrologically,  leading us up to  FULL MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE ON SEPT 27TH/28TH. Some are feeling stuck and don't know how to shift into gear.  The pressure is mounting and many will be touchier than usual and also HIGHLY REACTIVE. Mercury moving backward in Libra is in a tense 90 degree angle to Pluto (a square). Watch out for power struggles. Mercury can take us deep with this influence.  In Libra that means getting real in our relationships. Radical honesty is the thing to shift whats  stuck.  Leo gives us courage. ... Saturn is now in Sagittarius and squaring Jupiter. Mars is at the end of Leo and squaring Saturn. Squares create intense pressure and impel us to action. Saturn b

Equinox, Eclipses,and Mercury Retrograde. Are we there yet?

Another day, another blog post!  I've been a bit distracted over the  summer but am now slowly getting back into the swing of things in true Virgo fashion (details, work, service). There's a lot to catch up with, a LOT going on. As we head toward the Autumn Equinox (how did that happen?), where night and day are equal,   energies and planets  are shifting gears yet again,  as we find ourselves  heading in  directions we could never have envisioned even a few months ago. There was a partial New Moon Solar eclipse last Sunday, which brought to a head  relationship and money issues that have been building all summer. Sunday's partial eclipse set the stage for a second (lunar) eclipse on Sept 27/28 . On that day, a total Full Moon eclipse will trigger even greater changes as many doors close and others begin to open.  If you are at a crossroads and haven’t figured out which way things are going,  this time could mark   a majour turning point. 

Surrender to LOVE Venus Retrograde ends Sunday

Venus  travelling backward in the sign of Leo has been a powerful influence  for weeks now drawing  us into the shadows and  bringing up unresolved issues around loving and being loved. This is the planet that signifies how we exchange energy and shows how and where we are receptive to both love and money.  This isn't about sex (thats Mars job), it's about the feeling values involved in relating to each other. As it happens though, Mars is currently snuggled up to Venus in Leo, so theres a lot of juicy energy available to us if we can handle it! In the midst of all this creative flow we will have to  make peace with  unresolved issues around love and intimacy. As she turns direct on Sunday and begins her climb back up toward the light, Venus  reappears in the eastern horizon as the Morning Star (before her retrograde motion she was in the western sky at sunset hanging out with Jupiter).  Her decent has been a difficult passage of self through the hidden corr
