New Moon in Pisces 22nd February 2012 AEST

Hi everyone!
 
 
 
 
 
Smile and the world smiles with you......smile through the tears of relief...joyous reunion is possible this month! The floodgates will be open for immense healing. The New Moon on 22nd followed by a Full Moon in Virgo two weeks later indicates the whole month will be a releasing and healing of unresolved core energies thus setting us up for the Equinox/Sun into Aries on 20th March when we’ll recognise that there’s been a shift.
 
 
 
 
 
Let’s feel the ocean tides...out with the old and in with the new...the tides of change will take out the ‘old’ and bring in the ‘new’ all at the same time:
Pisces is the last month of the astrological year so it offers ‘finishing up’/completing energy and the focus is getting out of the energies of self-undoing, self-blame, martyrdom, imprisonment in mind/body/spirit. Pisces rules these energies as well as the great unconscious of past lives/alternate realities. We have never had stronger cosmic power to support us in breaking out of the prisons of past memories (conscious and/or unconscious). We just have to allow. Imagine lying on the shore as the gentle ocean waves wash over you in an absolute state of surrender.
Letting go of self-blame, self-punishment, regret etc. is particularly appropriate at this time. Let it go and swim on to be the beautiful rainbow fish.
 
 
Over the next few weeks the universal forces take us to a new place of surrender, to help us to go with the flow as the watery energies take over. Resistance will be futile and with both Saturn (the great taskmaster of karma, structure and manifestation) and Mars (our fiery drive for action) both retrograde, we’re not travelling with any speed. So, forget the speedboats this month.
Welcome to the Pisces energy which is going to be full on for the next few weeks. The question we need to consider during this time...are we in the water, swimming, snorkelling, diving to the depths or we travelling on the water at a sedate speed. Slow moving vessels which take in ‘the scenery’ will definitely suit this next month.
Water, water everywhere!:
We’ve got the Sun moving into Pisces on 19th.
Mercury, Chiron, Mercury and Neptune are all in Pisces close to the Sun for the few days following 19th.
When the New Moon follows on 21st, we’ll have 5 ‘planets’ all in Pisces!
 
 
 
19th February: Sun moves into Pisces...floating is definitely the way to go...the less effort you put in, the better! Surrender to the flow.
When the Sun moves into Pisces it will meet Neptune (ruler of Pisces) at 0 degrees Pisces travelling together for a few days along with Chiron in Pisces. A huge release and healing of our personal and collective emotions is possible. The sunlight dries up the rain and heals the emotions if we allow it to do so. Remember, the emotions you may feel are not just about you. Pisces represents the collective unconscious, the untapped oceans of collective memory. Dissolving the barriers to healing will be a key energy, letting the emotions flow through.
 
Because this activity all happens in the dark of the moon, 3 days before the New Moon, it’s a real call to elevate our emotions and vision to the best that can be offered by Pisces and the Neptunian energy. If we’ve already cleared so much of what we’ve needed to do, we may well experience this whole energy as tears of joy and deliverance.
 
 
 
Watch out for messages: Mercury is not far from the Sun and the New Moon so messages from the universe are more than likely...maybe insights about wounds that have held you back, collective wounds you now need to unload. The key is to call in a more evolved state of being...moving from the path of pain, suffering, limitation, restriction, self-undoing (all Pisces energies) to the idealism and beauty of the highly evolved spiritual energies of beauty, artistry and harmony (the expression of the developed Pisces energies).
 
 
 
 
Getting our ‘fish’ to work together: The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions.
All dual signs know about the balancing act needed to come to peace. With Pisces, be aware of the two directions pulling on you which have the potential to pull you apart. When the going gets tough, the fish is likely to swim away.
 
 
 
 
 
22nd February: New Moon in Pisces, 9.34 am AEDT 3 degrees Pisces...new vision, fresh start as the cell memories release ‘trapped’ emotions!
Just as we think we’re through the Pisces experience, along comes the New Moon in Pisces which offers us a fresh start, a fresh perspective. Like the Sun, it too is going over Neptune BEFORE the New moon in the lunar period we call the dark of the moon – 3 days before the New Moon arrives. This is the release period of ‘old’ energies before the New Moon arrives which means we’ll be feeling the influence of this release from the 18th/19th...when the Sun enters Pisces. It’s going to be a powerful opportunity for release for us all...whether or not we know what is happening.
 
 
Riding the wave of healing: The Sun and Moon will be close to Neptune and Chiron, both in the early degrees of Pisces...there is no way we can escape the wave of healing coming in with this new moon. Let the healing waters dissolve the wounds and pain of the past. Walls and barriers to change will be washed away.
If we allow the change, we’ll ride the wave...fight it and you’ll go under.
 
 
A New Moon, new directions: At the New Moon, the Sun and Moon are working together on the same degree in the same sign so both of them are on the same page. Unlike the Full Moon where emotions rule the day and do battle with the Sun, the New Moon is a lighter energy quietly creeping into our psyches. We might get the ideas the first week after the New Moon but often don’t take action till the beginning of the week after, the first quarter. It’s like all the pieces have to come together. Remember, the ideas are likely to be fluid and take symbolic forms...visions, pictures, music, dance, song.
 
 
 
Dream big: With Pisces energy, the sea of limitless possibilities opens up. Some of these possibilities may seem fantastical and ridiculous. This is the positive side of Pisces, expanding our vision to almost seem delusional. But then, how many new ideas, inventions would ever have come into being if someone hadn’t stepped outside the bounds of current physical reality and dared to dream big!
It’s possible you may feel the call to go in new directions...be open to changes which are more aligned with your destiny and fulfilment of your divine potential.
 
 
Upcoming Dates:
3rd March: Mercury moves into Aries till 23rd March
6th March: Venus moves into Taurus till 3rd April
8th March: Full Moon in Virgo, 8.38 pm AEDT, 19 degrees Virgo
11th March: Mercury retrograde till 4th April
 
 
Paddle your own canoe: Well folks, all I can say is ‘Happy Travelling’ in negotiating the oceans of the unconscious, the ‘oceans of emotion’ (Enya). Whatever our choice of transport, it will be a chance to ‘paddle our own canoe’ through the mass consciousness...where do I end and where does the world begin??? This month we’ll find out.
 
 
We are one, the ocean of humanity: We’ll probably discover ourselves as rainbow fish, united in one consciousness...let’s hope so!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As always, love and blessings to all my fellow travellers...see you out there on the ocean where I’ll be floating...no, I won’t be deep sea diving...leave that to others!

Venus in Aries 13th February plus Full Moon in Leo 8th February 2012

13th February 2012
Hi everyone!
Just felt the need to send out a few words with regard to the impact of Venus on the physical body over the past week...for those of you wondering what the hell is happening!!!
 
Venus in Aries in the pinball machine!: Well it’s been quite an intense few days for some of us when Venus entered Aries last week on Wednesday, meeting up with Neptune and Chiron in Pisces (softening us up for the weekend) when wham! On Saturday Venus met Uranus (the awakener) in Aries, Jupiter in Taurus (expansion of heart energy connected to the earth), the Moon (emotions and memory) in Libra! It was like a pinball machine effect, Venus ‘hitting’ one planet after another.
 
 
A major download of light and love from Venus: What does all this astrospeak mean??? Well, it felt like a major download of light and love (Venus) which flushed out the toxins/unresolved energies from the physical body. As the light energies come in, the unevolved energies within us and within the earth are brought to the surface. Cell memories are being cleared out and ‘going home’. In particular, the lower body may have been affected...legs, knees, hips. Also, the back. So much tribal energy releasing from base chakra...whew! Venus will be in a challenge with Pluto, exact on Wednesday. Keeping an open mind as to how that could impact as there could be more painful ‘flushing’ of the dark forces or it could feel like we’ve arrived....depends how much we’ve done.
 
 
The Gremlins have to go!:
With Mars in Virgo, we’re recalibrating our bodies, cleansing and purifying our personal history as well as the planet. Some of us are more intensely involved with the cosmic and earth energies on the physical level, as we work with our karmic commitment to our evolution and the planet’s ascension. Some of you may have experienced the Mars in Virgo energy with pain in the right side as the warriors release their grip on the weapons and on the control. However, the left side may well be experiencing the cumulative pain of feminine oppression. Am looking forward to the ‘divine marriage’ between these two forces of masculine/feminine.
 
 
14th February: Mercury moves into Pisces...be ready to receive some inspiration, a vision of the big picture and where you belong!
Pisces energies increasing... We’ve now got Neptune and Chiron in Pisces long term. Now Mercury, the messenger moves into this all encompassing energy of the great ocean of the collective unconscious. Pisces is sensitive, artistic, spiritual energy with a capacity for opening us up to more elevated visions of life, hopes and dreams. We’ll have Mercury offering us insights, messages, visions until 2nd March so make the most of this expansive and elevating energy. Daydreaming is a real plus and answers could just materialise seemingly out of thin air.
The Sun moves into Pisces on the 19th followed by a New Moon in Pisces two days later. More to come on this before the 19th.
 
 
14th February: Valentine’s Day...’Be my little baby honey bee...buzz around, buzz around’
Valentine’s Day has no astrological significance yet it is a day when a huge proportion of the world steps out of the comfort zone and reaches for the experience of LOVE!!! Astrologically we’ll be in the energy of a Scorpio moon which is intense, demanding emotionally of depth, demanding of emotional and physical intimacy! Sounds good doesn’t it! Providing of course you can step up to the plate. With Venus approaching a meeting with Pluto (challenge/square) exact on Wednesday the theme of intense and deep emotions around love will continue. Pluto and Scorpio can bring up the gremlins, the shadow so be aware that the eagle intensity of Scorpio’s/Pluto’s demand for absolute truth and commitment can be a bit too much for a lighter expression of Valentine’s Day romantic desires, meetings.
Scorpio and Plutonic energy is transformative...so could be amazing!
 
 
 
Upcoming Dates:
19th February: Sun moves into Pisces
21st February: New Moon in Pisces
 
Well folks, all for now. Hope those of you doing the ‘body’ work continue to hang in there, with anticipation of divine dispensation! I’ve included a bit more on the physical influences which may be affecting you as I haven’t found much information on the net. Trusting it’s not too much for those of you unaffected by the energies. Just felt I needed to give out something about what I feel is happening for those of you feeling physically challenged or maybe dealing with clients physically challenged.
 
 
As always, love and blessings

3rd February 2012
Hi everyone!


Happy New Year for the Year of the Dragon. We’re still in this New Moon energy of freedom heading to the fulfilment of the Full Moon in Leo. 
Have you been feeling the clearance of cell memory from the body as Mars retrograde in Virgo does its work? It feels to me that the most deep-seated traumas buried in the body are finally surfacing. 
Remember, Mars is the God of War and this planet has a deeply entrenched history of violence, abuse and punishment as a result of conflict, desire for power over another/others. The belief ‘I am right and everyone else is wrong’ has ruled this planet for a long time.

Mars is the physical body and Virgo is healing and earth energy...we work with the earth as one.



4th February: Neptune moves into Pisces 6.03 am AEDT until 2026! Neptune comes home to its own sign to bathe in the emotional waters of the collective.

Whenever the slower moving outer planets change signs, it signals a shift in the collective consciousness, a shift in emphasis for us all. With Neptune, it’s all about water and emotions and the ocean of humanity. It’s about dissolution of the barriers which have held us back from a full experience of life and the spiritual ideal of oneness. I could write about this change at length but will keep this brief as is my way and direct your attention to the attached articles which seem to cover it all.


However, a few words from me. I imagine there will be a greater shift amongst the populace towards all matters spiritual, a renaissance in terms of all ‘fluid forms’ of expression like art, music, dance, film and lyrical language expressions, both poetry and poetic expression in prose form. Whatever speaks to the soul will take centre stage.


Neptune expands the imagination and creativity and extends the parameters of our mind into fantasy and the fantastic, into visions and ideals of our hopes and dreams. Of course the challenging side to this is knowing whether our visions are ‘delusions’ which take us to the realisation of our ideals or completely unrealistic in terms of our lives. Many visions will come...which ones are our personal ones to fulfil and which ones are for others to fulfil???  We’ll be in interesting times!


On this same theme...watch for ‘the spin doctors’ weaving fear and disillusionment into the masses. Already our mass media is filled with speculation and prediction and the ‘facts’ are disappearing into the cloud of ‘spin’. It will be on our heads to separate truth from illusion and to recognise who is consciously/unconsciously trying to control our thinking about what is happening in the world and what is likely to happen. Those of us who understand the power of spiritual/psychic ‘readings’ are in a good position to raise awareness amongst the masses as to how the mass media ‘spin’ is creating change which is driven by fear, out-dated belief systems

We’re getting out of gaol!: Pisces rules the 12th house of confinement, limitation/self-limitation, institutions, other realities/past lives so this will be a focus (not necessarily consciously) for this time period. These themes will be more evident in the arts mentioned above.


Watch for a breaking down/dissolving of barriers within ourselves and in the physical outer world of institutions which restrain, confine etc. There will gradually evolve for many a growing understanding and acceptance of the oneness of our humanity. 
Pisces rules drugs, alcohol, addictions of all kinds. The opportunity will be to dissolve those addictive patterns which we haven’t been able to release as we contact the sources of such addiction in our history, ancestral and planetary memory. Pisces is ‘sex, drugs, rock ‘n roll’...in case you didn’t know! Remember though, addictions are patterns of behaviour, habits which are hard to break and include such things as worry, anxiety, fear, grief, depression etc. etc. etc.


A quote from the first article attached...Slavery based on race in the United States of America was abolished with Neptune in Pisces, with Neptune dissolving what it touches in the sign that rules slavery, both external and self-imposed forms.


Clearing the ghosts of the past: Neptune in Pisces offers great spiritual healing energy for the planet and ourselves as we access and clear the dark and unresolved emotions of our collective history.
With Chiron (the wounded healer) in Pisces just a few degrees away from Neptune, expect assistance with healing the wounds we’ve brought in this lifetime to heal. 
We’re all doing planetary healing. However some of us are more directly impacted upon by these energies at a personal level. Neptune is here to help,  as along with Chiron, the barriers to healing are dissolved and we access the collective unconscious to release those unresolved and resistant energies which have eluded us for so long.



Please see two articles on Neptune in Pisces in Messages:

‘Neptune in Pisces 2011, 2012-2026’ for further information on Neptune in Pisces...includes a brief overview of how each star sign could be impacted by Neptune in Pisces

‘Neptune in Pisces Molly Hall’ is quite a good overview of what we can expect.



8th February: Full Moon in Leo, 8.54 am AEDT at 18 degrees 31 Leo...love, romance, creativity and children...that’s the Leo energy!


Come out, come out wherever you are...it’s time to play and dance and sing and create havoc with the wild child calling us into action. Our unconscious, the moon energy is calling us to feel the creative urge within us and express it out into the world through the humanitarian forces of the Aquarian Sun. It’s interesting now with Neptune in Pisces as we’ll feel this influence seeping into us for a few days before this Full Moon arrives, setting us up to feel the full power of the Leo energy of love.


Remember, the influence of the Full Moon is felt 3 days before and 3 days after it’s point of fullness.


Messages from heaven...the child within us is called to speak up: The Aquarius Sun supported by Mercury lines up in opposition to the Moon calling us to hear the messages of ‘the big picture’ and express it through the passion of the ‘wild child’, the creative one within us. Don’t be surprised at what comes forth with this energy as the Aquarius Sun, ruled by Uranus brings surprises, new ideas, solutions to old problems. We might feel surprised at the simplicity of the solutions.



From: Cathy Pagano http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/ ...Leo Full Moon

The Sabian Symbol for the Sun at 19* Aquarius is: Amidst smoke and drizzle, jubilant fire fighters dig the final trench around a mountaintop blaze. It is up to us to mobilize all our faculties to bring destructive passions under control and then channel them into further human evolution. As we work with these elemental powers of life, we are doing the groundwork to manifest our vision of the future. It takes courage and fortitude to face the destructive fires ablaze in the world and create something new with them. This is the time to engage in alchemy.

The Sabian Symbol for the Moon at 19* Leo is: Revellers on a houseboat dance to the sounds of a swing band. It’s time to have fun and engage in life. Just as we think we are headed to disaster, the fires are contained and we can rejoice. Dance to bring in new life, dance to understand the wisdom of life. There’s no way we can escape the limits of life, but we can dance our vision as we listen to the rhythms of life. The cosmic rhythm is telling us to dance a new creation into being.


8th February: Venus moves into Aries 5.01 pm till 5th March...prepare yourself for fire and passion...igniting your own desire for selfhood!

This energy of Venus in Aries is all about our personal and very individual brand of joy and passion. If you can share it...fine. But it’s really about what turns you on to life and living it with a full heart. 
This energy comes in just after the Full Moon, an absolutely powerful call for us to release the shackles of our socialised adulthood and live from moment to moment in the joy of our creative selves.  It’s interesting that Venus in Pisces sees us through the full moon experience helping us to access the higher spiritual energies of the heart. And then boom! We’re calling out ‘What about ME????’


It’s interesting that Valentine’s Day falls on 14th during this transit of Venus in Aries. Whilst this date has no astrological connection, it is a big energy that take holds of so many humans on the earth as people reach for the experience of love...at least for one day and within their own personal understanding of what love is and what it means to them.



8th February: Saturn turns retrograde in Libra until 24th June...o...oh...more backtracking...
let’s synchronise and balance in harmony and peace!

It seems incredible that on this Full Moon in Leo which calls us to be freedom’s child and the Venus energy calling us into the leadership of our own joyful experiences, we are pulled back into this Saturn retrograde energy. However, all is not lost. 
Saturn has been sitting on the last degree of Libra since mid January and will continue on that 29 degrees until the first couple of days of March. Neptune sitting in a close positive relationship (trine) to Saturn for some weeks now has been helping us dissolve karmic ties and elevated unresolved energies from our karmic commitment.


The last degree of any sign is like a completion degree, signifying attainment of mastery...if we’ve done the work. The same applies for natal birth charts. So we’ll have a good idea hopefully of how well we’ve been handling the balancing of karma, karmic relationships and the balancing of ourselves, masculine/feminine.


It’s all about love: With Saturn in Libra it’s all about love, beauty, harmony, peace as Libra is ruled by Venus. We’ve been learning to become an authority, to take our authority with respect to putting balance back into our lives (both this and past lives/alternate realities) and to bring in our entitlement to the energies of Venus...the love plus all its positive attributes.


Jupiter gives us a boost: Trusting you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel sensing your own personal pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A couple of people have said...’it feels like the calm before the storm’. It feels like we are finishing off so much and trusting that ‘the storm of change’ will bring us into the light of abundance. 
It’s interesting to consider the Sabian Symbols for Jupiter (good fortune and abundance) for the next couple of weeks February 4-18.



With all this energy around, this could be an interesting, liberating and trying time. Jupiter, however, soon moves onto some of the most beautiful and rewarding degrees of the zodiac. It will soon move to

Taurus 3: Natural Steps Up To A Lawn Blooming With Clover -

Keywords: Hopefulness. Inspirational possibilities. Graduallyenlarging one’s vision. Harmony. Seasonal changes. Runningaround on grass. Bare feet. The beauty of greenery and flowers.Stability on the path. Steps that invite one on to bigger and betterthings. Abundance, nourishment. Making small efforts that canlead to large returns. Places to spread out and relax.

The Caution: Looking for the easy way out. Not making theeffort to find what is just a few steps away. Being lazy when oneshould be going for the objective. Temporary success. Expectingeverything to be laid out before you.

And then Jupiter moves onto Taurus 4: The Pot Of Gold At The End Of The Rainbow.

Keywords: The promise of riches, in whatever forms these may take. Creative imagination. Goals and ambitions. Alchemy. Splashes of color. Rewards contained. The search for the treasure. Seeking communion with nature and life’s bounty. Wealth derived from changing perspective. Talent and beauty.

The Caution: Seeking easy, tempting solutions. Thinking that rewards are always just “over the horizon”. Thinking that one is never going to get near “it”. Elusive success. Forgetting the more immediate things in life. Seeking perfection.

So, the trick seems to be to take note of where you're compromising in some way and to move as far as possible away from doing it. It's not always easy, but for many there will be a need for a readjustment of what is desirable and around what you want to take into the future with you.



Upcoming Dates:

14th February: Mercury moves into Pisces till 2nd March/Valentine’s Day

19th February: Sun moves into Pisces

21st February: New Moon in Pisces, 9.34 am at 3 degrees Pisces


Well folks, that’s about it. I seem to have said more than a few words about Neptune in Pisces...just couldn’t help myself! We’re living in exciting times and I’m feeling quietly optimistic that my time ‘in the chair, on the couch’ will be changing. This is about my healing, not about the astrology update.


As always, love and blessings to you all
