New Moon in Aries 23rd March

Hi everyone! Land ho!

 

 

Well, the past couple of weeks since the Full Moon have been shifting us along as the Grand Earth Trine took us into the earth energies and physical change. Along with the solar activity you may well have been feeling a variety of strange physical symptoms. The digestive and nervous system may have been stirred up by the Virgo moon and possibly compounded by the solar activity and Grand Earth Trine.

 

However there has been an incredibly beautiful flowing peaceful energy coming out of all this with the ongoing connection between Jupiter and Venus. The universe is preparing us to shift gears from this coming week and the foundation of these past weeks of earthing energy will stand us in good stead. That doesn’t mean we’ll be taken back into conflict...unless we need to be. The earth energies are the launch pad for our firing up the rockets of desire and ambition!

 

 

 

 

 

It’s Aries time! Hope this doesn’t drive you mad...it’s a little frenetic! That’s Aries energy!

 

 

 

Becoming our own best advocate: Baby let me light your fire!!!! It’s all about the igniting fiery Aries energy, the first sign in the zodiac, the one that is up and running before others have thought about it. Aries doesn’t stand back and wait for everyone. It’s called to lead and it doesn’t shy away from dangerous terrain. It’s the adventurer, the warrior calling us into stepping into new ways of being, doing, living. It takes risks, is impetuous, impatient and capable of arousing couch potatoes to take action they never believed possible.

 

 

 

Where we’ve been...’In the doldrums’!: It’s probably just what we all need feeling as though we’ve been travelling on our sailboats...in the doldrums...no wind to carry us forward! We have been travelling...just very, very slowly.

 

 

Quote from ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

Well the winds of change are coming through when first the Sun, then the Moon join Mercury and Uranus in Aries.

 

 

 

 

20th March: Sun moves into Aries 4.14 pm AEDT Autumn equinox (Southern hemisphere)

 

...off the couch all potatoes!

 

 

 

The equinox in Aries marks the beginning of the solar astrological year. So, if you didn’t feel you made inroads on January 1st or on Chinese New Year, this is another chance for the fresh start. You’re likely to notice a marked shift in energy, not just away from all the ocean of emotion in Pisces, but in the finalisation of certain aspects of the past astrological year as well as the past Piscean month.

 

 

Action stations...yes! But slow and steady is the pace!: The sun represents our masculine, outward looking and acting energy. After the past month of inward looking, Piscean energy, we’ll feel a dramatic shift with fiery life force returning. We’ll be motivated to take action in the physical world and in our physical circumstances. However, as we take action we’re likely to feel the purifying, healing energies of Mars (ruler of Aries) still retrograde in Virgo as it calls us to take it easy and act in our own best interests with respect to stability and security. This is not likely to be a battle as we’re now so much more attuned to impulsive, reckless Mars being tempered by the protective energies of Virgo caution.

 

 

 

 

Prepare to launch your own personal rocket ship! A beginning to the New Year and your own personal hopes and dreams!

Just a reminder of a message from Lauren Gorgo/The Pleiadians last year that we should notice some difference in our lives by the Equinox although the bigger change will be around mid year ( we have eclipses at end of May and early June as well as the transit of Venus in June...change, change and open hearts!)

 

 

20th March: Sun meets with Mercury and Uranus in Aries...The domino effect ...3 days later the New Moon joins in...the dominoes will fall, one after the other!

Mercury is speed even though it is retrograding. Uranus is lightning wildfire. The sun is our extroverted masculine energy and in Aries doubly so!

 

At the expense of mixing metaphors, fuelled by fire we’ll feel like kicking over the traces and all it will take is one domino to fall to upset the status quo...you know, that energy that’s been holding us back with the ropes of the past. These three planets together will get things on the move and prepare us to welcome the Aries New Moon.

 

 

Dark of the Moon: From the time the Sun enters Aries, we’ll be entering the 3 day period called ‘the dark of the moon’ as it leads up to the New Moon in Aries on 23rd. This 3 day period is a release time, 3 days releasing the past Piscean lunar month and all its residue energies. Often, we’ll find that the last energies of a sign can pack a final punch...be aware of this. We are saying goodbye in a final release.

 

 

How will be releasing?...words and more words: With Mercury, Uranus and the Sun together, expect to hear/speak/write/read words that need to be expressed/heard, in line with our ‘I am’ truth (Aries Sun). Because it’s the last 3 days of the lunar year (Pisces is last zodiac sign) I imagine the words will be words that have been waiting for some time, held in, waiting for the cosmic energies to provide words of absolute truth. These words may offer surprises, insight, even shock...all Uranian energies. But they are words which will clear the air and set down a new foundation for ourselves, relationships with others and the world.

 

 

 

23rd March: New Moon in Aries, 1.38 am AEDT at 3 degrees Aries...Reach for the sky! It’s all about ME! I am that I am!

It’s a New Moon, so a fresh start to a new lunar month on top of which, being Aries, it’s the lunar beginning to the astrological year...a bit like New Year! It’s like starting a new exercise book at primary school...a blank page, waiting for our creations. With the moon involved there’s an igniting of your personal passion/s. You know the feeling...fire in the belly ready to burst forth.

 

 

Uranus and Mercury in kissing distance to the New Moon and Sun: Messages, new ideas, inspiration and guidance abounds...clarification about right action!

With the New Moon, we’ll have the Sun on the same degree and Uranus and Mercury bunched together with them. Because the Moon is our introverted subconscious self, expect the unexpected to surface from the subconscious, from the memory banks with guidance on how you can move your life forward. Listen to the messages of your inner voice about yourself and what you have to offer the world.

Expect the unexpected in your life...synchronicity and manifestation is on offer. Be ready to go through new doorways!

 

 

 

24th March: Mercury retrogrades back into Pisces until April 17th:Treading the grapes, purifying the emotions, finding our voice...our glass of wine awaits!

We’ve only got a few days of re-treading the grapes until 4th April when Mercury moves direct. Hopefully, if we’ve done a good job in the grape press, the wine will be ready for drinking! it’s all about finding ‘me’ amongst the masses!

We’re reviewing and ensuring that we’ve done all the clearing we need to do. We are in a 5 year (2012) so the throat chakra and thyroid is our healing focus.

With this energy alongside the Aries energy, we’ll probably find ourselves finding and separating our own particular ‘voice’ from that of the collective. Ask yourself if

you are repeating words absorbed from the collective unconscious like a well trained parrot or are you speaking your own truth from your ‘I am’ presence.

 

 

Neptune and Chiron in Pisces (water energy) long term: Continuing healing of the emotional wounds of the collective...we are all in this together!

 

 

Forward Movement:

Upcoming Dates give some guidelines as to when we can expect things to start getting moving.

In particular, 4th April when Mercury moves direct and Venus moves out of Taurus when we’re likely to feel a lightening of the body work we’ve been doing.

14th April when we’ll all be happy to see Mars move on. Mars in Virgo till July means we’ll still be dealing with physical changes and healing. How much depends on us and the way we personally need to process.

 

 

Upcoming Dates:

4th April: Mercury direct

4th April: Venus in Gemini till 7th August

7th April: Full Moon in Libra, 5.18 am AEDT at 18 degrees Libra

14th April: Mars direct in Virgo

 

 

 

Well folks, that’s it for the time being.. Enjoy the liberating influence of the Aries energy. It’s the beginning of the feeling of a shift forward which will roll on into the next few months.

 

 

Happy New Year!!! ‘Let the Good Times Roll’...on...and on...and on!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As always, love and blessings to all my fellow travellers!

Full Moon in Virgo 8th March 2012

Hi everyone! I’m in the crow’s nest looking for dry land! And we’re not far off!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emotionally it’s been a huge time of cleansing with unresolved longstanding issues suddenly resolving, closed doors suddenly opening as the universe delivers the answer to our prayers. The first glimmers of hope are about to expand exponentially with big earth energies coming in to uplift us spiritually and physically. We’re getting ready to step onto dry land...deliverance to ‘the promised land’, the ‘land of milk and honey’. If we’ve been on the paper chase, one step at a time, then the giant leap is about to happen.

 

 

 

8th March: Full Moon in Virgo, 8.38 pm AEDT, 19 degrees Virgo...

big healing for the emotional wounds of the children of the earth and bringing hopes and dreams to earth!

 

 

The Full Moon, whilst in an earth sign, doesn’t offer a lot of ‘dry’ land as the Moon is watery emotional energy/memory. However, this Full Moon is in Virgo, an earthy sign which offers huge healing release at this time, a grounding of the wounds we carry both personally and collectively. At this full Moon something is coming to completion, to culmination which relates to personal/collective healing (Pisces energy) and a clearing of the way for our future ‘service’ in the world.

 

 

Give up the boxing, including ‘shadow’ boxing!: Mars retrograding in Virgo will be within touching distance of the moon, adding another dimension to the healing energy of Virgo as we reclaim our inner warriors and release the warring energies of conflict, resistance and fighting which have ruled this planet for so long!

So much of this old energy is related to our communication, the vicious words spoken one against another. The mass media is full of it! We are being called into awareness of the words we speak and the power of the word to bring about positive change!

A great book many of you would know relating to this: ‘The Four Agreements’ by Don Miguel Ruiz

 

The wound in the body, in communication: Virgo is traditionally ruled by Mercury (communication/travel). However, there is a general acceptance that Chiron (the centaur which rules wounds/healing) also rules Virgo. Chiron is regarded by many astrologers as the wound we carry in the body which doesn’t necessarily mean physical disease/illness/injury but also applies to cell memory. Chiron is also regarded as ‘the talking cure’. We can write it out too...whatever it takes!

 

‘I can say what I feel without fear of oppression’...Let’s remember to know when to talk and when to listen!!!

With Mercury in the picture too, I imagine we’ll be clearing energies connected to communication (throat...and ear, nose connections). You may have been experiencing clearance of blocked emotional energies in these areas over the past few weeks with all the watery energies of Pisces...colds, sinus, flu, allergic responses like sneezing...anything to release the blockages from the body.

I’m reminded of one of the channelings I sent out talking about this being a 5 year (2012) and the 5th chakra being an important clearing station for the year. It’s time for healing of childhood, past life(alternative realities) blockages around speaking, being heard, being talked down, ignored, put down, killed etc.

Be ready to speak out, write out, sing out the old unresolved wounds and to listen to others when called to ‘service’. Singing is a great way to free ourselves and find our voice.

 

 

Let’s talk and play with the dolphins: ‘If you want to sing out, sing out’...Cat Stevens...freedom awaits!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kQL_NZx-Ak

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are

 

 

In native American wisdom, the dolphin rules breath and sound so breathwork, toning, singing, talking will all offer curative relief at this time. We just have to shift the energy on. Breath is the life force and with it comes the joy of life...another dolphin energy.

 

Earthing the dreams!: At the Full Moon, the Sun is opposite...a need to honour both energies and bring them together!

Virgo deals with practicalities of earthly life, Pisces deals with the emotional, often fantastical sensibilities and the higher spiritual dimensions. How do we utilise both energies to work together to bring out the best in us??? With the energy of the Virgo Full Moon, we’re bringing our Piscean dreams to earth!

The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 19* Pisces is: A Master Instructing his Disciple. This symbolizes the transfer of power and knowledge which keeps the original spiritual and creative impulse of the cycle active. While this image suggests the relationship of guru and disciple, if we take ownership of our own spiritual growth, we can also see this as an image of the Ego being guided by the original impulses of our Self.

The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 19* Virgo is: A swimming race. Swimming takes us into the watery realm of feelings and the unconscious, psychic dimensions of life. As in all competitions, we ultimately come up against ourselves, testing our own endurance, speed and skills. The race gives us a community to interact with, a group that is engaged in the same efforts as we are. We help each other be the best we can be when we put ourselves to this friendly test. It’s not about winning; it’s about playing well.

 

 

12th March to 4th April Mercury retrograde...snail mail applies to all communications, travel, technology...patience is needed...time to listen! Eh????

You probably all know the routine with Mercury retrograde. Awareness of the possibility of delays, misinformation, confusion in all arrangements, meetings, travel, technology. Also miscommunication in conversations. Check all of these things twice, three times. It can be tricky.

 

For example, you may take your mobile with you, but the battery runs out/not charged. The GPS gets confused and you haven’t got a map.

All equipment is susceptible including transport means. Double check car, tickets, planes, departure points. Allow extra time travelling...traffic jams, breakdowns etc. It may never happen. Best to be prepared!

 

 

 

Mercury retrograde periods...

From 12th to 24th March in Aries...Listen to yourself...realigning to our ‘I am’ presence...our spiritual warrior mind is fired as it aligns with our authentic essence of divinity.

Be prepared for surprises as Mercury meets up with Uranus..expect the unexpected!

From 24th March to 6th April in Pisces...Listen to the universe...realigning our mind with the cosmic forces of the greater collective...insights about place in the world and our personal mission. With new self-knowledge arising from 11th to 24th, we can hear the universe as never before!

 

 

 

 

 

Mercury is all about movement, communication, travel, change so when it’s retrograde all that energy is internalised. All the movement, travel and change is happening in our minds, bodies, hearts and spirit. We’re being sent information which will help us move forward physically and more aligned with our true selves and personal divine pathway when it’s time.

Life will start slowly moving forward from 4th but won’t really pick up for about another week, about the same time Mars starts moving forward again on 14th April.

 

 

The retrograde energy: Getting ready for the leap of faith! What????...another one?????....Just keep leaping when it’s time!

What’s happening when ‘nothing’ seems to be happening? We’re realigning, refining, preparing for a big leap forward!

Mercury joins Mars and Saturn in retrograde motion. Minds and bodies are aligning and coming into balance and harmony with our personal authority. The refinement of our personal energies is fine tuning us for taking on the fullness of our mastery in the physical world. We’re learning through discovering our untapped talents, wisdom and how we can best utilise these energies for both personal and transpersonal fulfilment.

In the middle of this retrograde period, the Sun moves into Aries on 20th March/the Equinox, which will certainly give the sense that something is changing, despite the retrograde energy. Three days later there’s a New Moon in Aries. These two ‘events’ signify the start of the astrological year. It will be interesting to see how it manifests in the middle of Mercury retrograde.

 

13th/14th March: Venus meets Jupiter in Taurus...an explosion and expansion of love for our earthly lives and for the earth itself!

This energy in itself, without its participation in the Grand Trine (see below), is a highly auspicious energy for our hearts to be opened and allow in the good fortune that is available to us. It’s all about hopes and dreams that have been held in our hearts. Be open to receive earth’s bounty!

 

 

 

Sabian Symbol for this meeting: 10* Taurus: A Red Cross Nurse runs to the aid of a wounded man. This is an image of the compassionate healer, the urge to care for others, to be of service to humanity and to the Earth. Ground yourself in your love and you’ll find the courage to respond to life.

From Cathy Pagano – see above for website

 

 

13th/14th March: Grand Earth Trine...manifesting our dreams...as above so below! Bringing heaven to earth! Accessing the full power of the divine feminine!

Mars in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter/Venus in Taurus have been building to an auspicious meeting, opening the earth energies to physically manifesting something that is close to your heart and close to the heart of Mother Earth. Earthlings are called to align with divine destiny as the doors open to new possibilities. This is such a powerful energy

for something truly wonderful to come through.

 

 

 

 

 

Sit back, relax, dream, envision and LET it happen!: Earth and water energies are the life force of the divine feminine and as such, this earth trine is showing us what can happen when we dream, build the vision and then bring it to earth all virtually from the stillness and comfort of an armchair! The masculine energy which we need, ‘makes it happen’. We are learning how to work with the feminine energy which ‘allows it to happen’. The masculine goes after the dream whilst the feminine draws it to her.

Upcoming Dates:

20th March: Sun moves into Aries 4.14 pm Autumn equinox (Southern hemisphere)

23rd March: New Moon in Aries, 1.38 am AEDT at 3 degrees Aries

24th March: Mercury moves into Pisces

 

 

 

New lands, new territories beckon! Well folks, that’s about it for the time being. It will be interesting to see where the sea lands us by the 20th when the Sun moves into Aries marking the Equinox...quite probably some new territory to explore, hopefully our own personal treasure chest of opportunities!

 

 

As always, love and blessings to all my fellow travellers

What's happening???....'We are sailing, we are sailing'

2nd March 2012

Hi everyone,

How are you finding the Piscean energies??? Are you washed out, wrung out, dripping wet, being healed by the waters of the oceans, by the tears of release???? For many, this energy has provided breakthroughs into new creative territory, reclaiming old discarded creative gifts and projects as well as resolution of long term wounds. Synchronicity is the order of the day as prayers are being answered and hopes and dreams are manifesting. The waves are washing us clean, uplifting and carrying us forward.

We’re still with the water and emotional clearing until 20th March when the Sun moves into Aries, when we might find some of that Aries fire drying us out. However the healing waters are here for quite some time as Chiron and Neptune are in Pisces long term. It seems many are being woken up through an upsurge of heart opening emotion. For those of us aware of the shift in consciousness, we can only reassure others as they fall apart emotionally that ‘all is well’...just let it go and stay open for what’s coming in.

 

We’re all at sea, aboard Noah’s Ark, safe, travelling who knows where and looking for dry land waiting for the sign of the dove carrying the olive branch, symbol of dry land and peaceful arrival.

 

 

 

 

 

2nd March: Mercury moves into Aries till 23rd March...not quite as speedy as we would like...

Mercury rules communication and travel and Aries is ‘let’s go’...in the speed boat! However, 8 days on from 3rd, we have Mercury backtracking in a 3 week retrograde period. So, from 3rd March we’ll be in Mercury’s retrograde shadow, already slowing down. It will feel like the energies are at war. There is no way we can win by pushing against the forces which are asking us to take our time and to establish some solid foundations for when things take off again. It seems like the universe just keeps asking us to slow down with Mars and Saturn both retrograde.

Nevertheless things are happening which are aligned with the Aries ‘I am’ presence, our essence, our authentic self.

3rd March: Mercury meets Uranus...Surprise!!! Could be explosive, inspirational, insightful regarding your ‘I am’ presence on earth.

Within 4 days they build to an exact meeting which, in Aries, could be an explosive energy with regard to words spoken. That is one potential. However, Aries is your ‘I am’ presence so meeting with Uranus could provide new, innovative ideas regarding your presence here on earth. Expect the unexpected with Uranus.

6th March: Venus in Taurus till 3rd April...Can you feel the heart of Mother Earth...can you hear her heartbeat...it’s all about love

Venus rules Taurus which is very much the earthy abundance of Mother Earth. It’s always interesting to consider that in astrology, Venus rules values, love, beauty, harmony and money. Makes sense doesn’t it when you consider the old adage ‘do what you love and the money will follow’. Of course that goes with the proviso of trust, faith in yourself, in the earth and in your connection to the earth. How much do you love, accept and value yourself and your particular gifts and talents. Motives are everything here!

Values ‘I am that I am’: We’ll be getting in touch with what we value and how that’s translated into the material world. What kind of alignment exists between what we think/feel we value and what is actually manifested in our lives. This is a good connection with the Mercury in Aries energy...once again ‘Who am I? Where am I going? Why am I here?’

 

Physical reactions: Taurus rules the physical body so with Venus moving into this sign we are likely to experience some physical shifting of cell memory as we take in love/beauty/harmony, dropping off earthly memories of struggle/hardship/fighting for everything. Can we allow ourselves the feeling of the goddess energies...all is well...consciously calling ourselves into the flow of ‘ease and grace’? Can we allow ourselves to accept the abundance that is our divine birthright? Allow and embrace the pains in the body as the gift of healing. We’re healing the consciousness of the heart.

 

Cornucopia of abundance as Venus meets Jupiter: By the 14th, Venus will be meeting the great benefactor Jupiter. Wow! If our mind and emotions are aligned with the abundance and support of Mother Earth Taurus energy, then we are open to receiving our just rewards. Whilst Taurus is about material abundance, this is not just about material rewards of money. It could relate to bodily healing, receiving rewards related to the fruits of your labours which are built upon your passionate commitment to your path of heart.

Upcoming Dates:

8th March: Full Moon in Virgo, 8.38 pm AEDT, 19 degrees Virgo

11th March: Mercury retrograde till 4th April

So folks, that’s about it. We just need to keep sailing along under a steady wind, even though you may feel things have come to a standstill, it’s all happening ‘inside’!

Another update will be out before the Full Moon on 8th.

As always, love and blessings to all my fellow travellers
