22nd November 2018 Sun moves into Sagittarius, 23rd Full Moon in Gemini, 25th Neptune direct

 

Hi everybody!

Here we go!  Out of the deep intensity of the Scorpio Sun which has been holding us in the light of life, death, rebirth and transformation.  It’s a fitting turning point for the past year of Jupiter in Scorpio which has brought so much change to so many of us. 

‘Some days are diamonds, some days are stone’:
Of course it’s ongoing as we all know but the deep plumbing of the emotional depths looking for ‘pieces of eight’ amongst our ‘history’ and memory banks has left many of us panting on the shore as the resolution of ‘past’ energies from our bodies, minds, hearts and spirits demanded every ounce of Scorpio focus and determination to keep going.

Still in the lunar light of Scorpio until the next New Moon:  7th December!We’re still travelling in the light of the New Moon in Scorpio until December 7th so keep this in mind as we make our break for freedom in this coming week when the Sagittarian Sun floods our energy field along with a Full Moon in Gemini, ruler of the mind and communication.

We’re continuing to close the doors for this challenging year!
Now it’s time for us to maintain faith even if our energies are tired, drained and feeling overwhelm.  The Full Moon in Gemini this week will bring much to a head, a completion and as well will be an opening of the communication channels which will power us on to the end of this year!

And so we say farewell to the clouds which keep blotting the inner landscape and give thanks for Scorpio's deep penetrating exploration of our inner psyche which has been bringing immense healing.

Running late with my update...sorry:
Been laid up with Neuralgia in my back. I think Mercury zapped me as he returned to the earth plane!

What’s been happening: 
Time stands still:  Mercury in retrograde motion...revisiting ‘the past’!
Mercury, our messenger and ruler of our mind and mental body is riding the retrograde journey in fiery Sagittarius.  Our mind manager, the messenger, is retrieving bits and pieces from the past to bring our mind and mental energy into the oneness of higher consciousness.

Venus recovering her heart centre: Moving direct through ‘shadow’ energy!
Venus in Libra is gradually trekking over her shadow retrograde retracing old steps we covered some weeks back. We’re finding out just how much we’ve achieved with respect to love, loving partnership and equity.  There may be some more tidying up of loose ends as she moves on. She won’t get out of shadow until mid December.  She has to re-visit Scorpio yet...3rd December.

Mars, our masculine warrior:  Calming the old angers in the Piscean ocean!
The ruler of our fire and drive, our physical body is getting a big cleansing treatment makeover in the waters of Pisces.  Not his most comfortable place as the ocean puts out the fire of anger and aggression that can dominate when Mars is in his own sign of Aries or in a fire sign. 


21st November:  Mercury returned from out of bounds at 7.48 am AEDT at 12 degrees 17 Sagittarius...touchdown and finding our feet and balance!
Mercury has been ‘out of bounds’ collecting higher consciousness since 2nd November.  He takes this journey more often than the other planet so I don’t always post this information.  However, with his current retrograde journey it seems especially significant. Along with the fact this is his Full Moon in Gemini happening just after he finds his feet again.

It might take a little to adjust to having our mental energy back into earth consciousness, being grounded.  However, Mercury still in retrograde motion will have us feeling a bit ‘here and there’ still so we need to keep that in mind as we ground new consciousness into our everyday lives...even as we deal with the memories!

Reclamation of fragmented aspects from the memory banks:
Mercury still in retrograde motion is bringing up all manner of ‘unfinished business’ from this and other lives and dimensions...ancestral. ‘past’ lives, planetary memories as he treks through the sign of Sagittarius with the potential for reclamation of higher consciousness for those ‘fragmented’ aspects which have been split off due to trauma. 

22nd November:  Sun moves into Sagittarius at 8.01 pm AEDT
Divine freedom!  Let’s go!
Until 22nd December/December Solstice 
Here’s the open road:  Waiting for divine timing for us to get moving!
The Sagittarius Sun beckons us down the road to the freedom that comes when we connect to divine consciousness, truth and wisdom. We’re being taken into the final stages of this calendar year and being called to step up to the plate in whatever way we can as the Sagittarian centaur asks us to be the courageous frontrunners spiritually. to own our fire within!

We want to get moving!  Hold steady for a little...waiting for Mercury!
The Sagittarian energy wants us to get moving as it fires up all our spiritual ‘juices’.  However...lol...just remember that Mercury is slowing things down a little as he continues his retrograde journey forcing us to rework any old ideas, plans and schemes so we come to new clarity. Mercury is still in Sagittarius until 1st December when he dips back into Scorpio to 27 degrees.  He’ll be coming back to Sagittarius on 13th December so steady Neddy!

What we can do and need to do:  
Galvanising the inner forces for change!
New information constantly coming forward for us all as we clear the decks and take hold of opportunities to demonstrate our spiritual power in handling the forces of negativity, despair, hopelessness and conflict that seem so dominant on the planet.  In fact there’s much undercover work going on with the likes of us and we’re not quite ready to show our true colours in the outer world.  Easy does it!  Slow and steady Neddy!

Roadblocks shifting: Enough is enough!
Needless to say, the walls of resistance are falling away and many of us are feeling ‘enough is enough’ and asking ‘what can I do?’ to shift the energies in our lives to break through onto our freedom road.

Seekers of truth:  Sagittarian power is firing our spirits and taking us on!
In this next solar month take note of all the new information dropping into the psyche and the revelations about yourself and your life that suddenly seem to appear. 



23rd November:  
Full Moon in Gemini at 0 degrees 52 Gemini at 4.39 pm AEDT
The child leads!
Art:  Tuasmalou
Communication channels opened wide with the Gemini Full Moon: 
Messages from within and from the cosmos so we have the opportunity for illumination and enlightenment of issues that have been in the melting pot.

Just remember that true clarity is illusive around Full Moons as they can present illusions and delusions so we need to wait for things to settle before coming to any conclusion.

A culmination, turning point, things coming to a head!
As the full moon brings forth the emotional energies from the unconscious, we often come to realisations which can result in explosive releases and in Gemini that means..communication of any kind.  This doesn’t have to be a negative release as it can be a release that leads to loving communication of the truth which has been buried.  We suddenly ‘join the dots’! 

Balancing the mind:  Bringing the mental body into harmony...let go!
The Gemini full Moon explodes our mindsets and brings us to a new clarity and understanding which comes through over the next 2 weeks up to the New Moon in Sagittarius.  It is inviting us to balance the inner duality of our mind, to let go of conflict and struggle that the lower mind presents when trying to come to solutions.

Sun and Jupiter as Sagittarian running mates:  Optimism and hope!
Sun opposite the Full Moon getting a boost, ‘reboot’ with Jupiter sidling up to the Sun. This is extra big Sagittarian energy and light as Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius is expanding the light consciousness coming in at this full moon. Sagittarius ignites our desire for truth, divine truth and seeks justice within the divine realm. 
With all the Gemini propensity for communication and Mars squaring off to the Sun and Moon we need to remain as aware as possible of triggers that set us off or we set off in others.  Whatever happens...it will be a clearing of the air!  Sagittarius is generally the sign of optimism and positivity so look to that upbeat energy to carry us through.

Mars is in the action:  In the emotional waters of Pisces he could set off some action for us all!  Going with the flow will work well for us all!
Uh oh...Mars wants to get into this picture sitting at 4 degrees Pisces, squaring off to the Sun and the Full Moon in Gemini.  His presence adds some volatility to the whole full moon energy but being in Pisces is likely to be a collective sigh, cry, outpouring of previously locked in emotional energies.  Note that Mars could stir up some verbal ‘sprays’ which could come out of nowhere.


Venus opposite Uranus still squaring off to the planetary karmic nodes:  Universal changes, upgrades to the heart, activating the higher cosmic mind!
Ongoing energy that continues to play a part as our hearts are ignited with the higher mind of Uranus challenging us to bring balance and harmony to our personal partnerships, including work and business employers.

As we accept the love for ourselves at a heart level, we accept our entitlement to live a harmonious life in equitable connections with others where there’s give and take and which are essentially underpinned by the higher consciousness of love.


Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon: From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com

Full Moon:  Gemini 1
A GLASS-BOTTOMED BOAT REVEALS UNDER-SEA WONDERS AND PANORAMAS
Image result for glass bottomed boat/sea/imagesThis Symbol speaks of being able to see into things that other people don’t see. You have the ability, the desire and the lens to be able to pierce beneath outer levels of things in order to get a grasp of what’s going on beneath the surface. It can also show that you look at the issues at hand from an objective, uninvolved perspective. A distant, possibly uninvolved position is probably much safer for you and the situation you are observing. It may be that situations are often out of your natural environment, so this is much safer - for you and those things that you are observing or watching. Seeing things that are not usually observable. Clairvoyance. Connecting with the collective unconscious. Spiritual gifts enlarging perspective. Vehicles of discovery. Lenses.


Sun:  Sagittarius 1
RETIRED ARMY VETERANS GATHER TO REAWAKEN OLD MEMORIES
The Symbol shows reunions and gathering together with people who have shared histories, struggles or issues. A reunion can ignite feelings of camaraderie, companionship and triumph, sometimes along with great passions. As these are “Retired Army Veterans”, it's through the passing of time and with the hindsight of age that many things can be faced, healed and laid to rest. In going over the memories of 'old battles' you may find the clues for current ones. However, this degree can show going over and over old hurts, injuries, diseases, etc. The trick also is not to see others as the ‘enemy’, but rather see in everyone the possibility of friendship. Reunions. Past life memories. Fellowship. Masculine domains. Understanding the individual within an idealistic struggle. Finding comrades. Moratoriums. Tears of the past.

25th November:  Neptune stations direct in Pisces at 13 degrees 42 Pisces at 12.08 pm AEDT

New spiritual consciousness emerges:  A new world for us?
Neptune is back on course facing forward, bringing aboard all those spiritual discoveries that have been happening these past months. We don’t necessarily know what new consciousness has been happening while Neptune was in the retrograde labyrinth.  We’re being reborn! No speeding...it’s just a sailboat!

Wow!  I’ve changed!
It’s now we find out just how much progress we’ve made and can demonstrate the integration of our spiritual selves into our physical lives. Notice how your thoughts, emotions and reactions have changed as you recognise you are seeing through new eyes without the blurred vision of seeing the world through the eyes of the collective unconscious.

Choosing to step outside the emotional maelstrom of the collective:
We have the opportunity to make our choices whether to be part of ‘the group’ which feeds off the collective emotions of unevolved consciousness.  We are all prone to be drawn back into these collective energies because we are humans, earth beings and we can feel it all.  We are all in the same boat called planet earth but how we travel is our choice...love or fear?



Sabian Symbol for Neptune’ station: From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com
Pisces 14
A LADY WRAPPED IN FOX FUR
This shows being able to present an image that shows intelligence, cleverness, glamour and beauty, along with knowing how to move in social circles. The “Lady Wrapped in Fox Fur” is someone who’s sure of themselves, able to bend to situations and have situations bend to their own desires. It often shows getting out of, or into, anything they want. You can present an image that enhances your position in society. Intelligence and wit will probably see you through, with others noticing your beauty, grace or intellect. If, however, the guise was stripped away, would you still express the same qualities? You may have to display your capabilities because of negative prejudice, chauvinism, or being underestimated. Outer expressions of inner worth. Animal magnetism. Being wrapped in intellectual superficiality. Tempting others. Sexual signals. One's own style. Perfumes. Totems.

That’s all folks!  Hugs all around!  We’re standing ready in the mists of time...Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius!

We’re bringing ourselves back together as ourselves and with a sense of belonging in the world despite all the ongoing turmoil and trouble that seems to be escalating.  But is it?

We hold ourselves together with like-minded others committed to bringing divine abundance, equity and fulfilment to our earthly lives and in doing so, to the lives of everyone on earth.  We’re all doing the best we can within our current consciousness and taking responsibility for clearing whatever spiritual ‘wounds’ we’ve chosen to do as ‘soul’ work as a karmic resolution this lifetime.

it’s been hard yards for many and continues on as we take those final steps towards resolution of this calendar year. Next year will continue to be challenging on a planetary level but I trust that all the progress we’ve made this year as conscious carriers of the light with a focus on love will hold us steady while the world continues to deconstruct.

Love and blessings to us all as continue down ‘the good red road’ with faith in the power of love and united in our pilgrimage carrying us on! 
I’m looking forward to seeing my astrology ‘mates’ out there strutting their stuff as only frontrunners and crusaders can do!

16th November 2018: Mars enters Pisces, Venus stations direct in Libra, 17th November Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius

Hi everybody!

Whew!  That New Moon doorway was dynamic. 
We're in new territory with that nodal shift and the ground may feel a little shaky even as Jupiter wants to get us moving. With a new planetary earth star energy in Capricorn, establishing a firm foundation of stability and physical security is the first call. And ruler Saturn...one step at a time. Balance and focus on the here and now as we accustom ourselves to this new landscape

New territory:  New playing field...finding our feet!
What a shaky old transition through the New Moon energies, the nodal shift and Uranus and Jupiter bringing a gear change.  The ground felt a little shaky as we moved through the ‘doorway’ onto the other side.  New territory, new playing field.


Remember:  The planetary nodes...did you feel the earth move?
North Node is Soul Star Chakra now in Cancer: water, emotional
South Node is Earth Star Chakra now in Capricorn: earth, physical

We’ve got a whole new base of operations for the planet and of course plugged into all of us.  As we work with divine alignment of karmic nodes both at the earth and soul dimensions, we’re clearing and uplifting old energies for the planet and therefore for us.

Scorpio life, death and rebirth carrying us through the throes of change!
Still travelling in the light of the Scorpio Sun until 22nd November so more death and rebirthing assisted by the New Moon in Scorpio lunar energies which rule our inner lives until the New Moon in Sagittarius on 7th December. 

The open road beckons:  New potentials, new avenues to explore!
Nevertheless, with Jupiter in Sagittarius the open road beckons with the potentials emerging of new roads and avenues for our forward movement. So important not to try to pin everything down to certainty just yet.

Overview of energies this week:  

Mars, Venus and Mercury on the move...gear change
These three planets are what’s called ‘personal planets’ as they most directly impact our personal lives with change on a regular basis as they move faster than all the other planets, changing signs more often and bringing in new energies which bring a gear change to our hearts, minds or bodies in the way we relate to the world. The Moon of course moves every 2 to 3 days so is the most immediate change bringer. 
Mars, ruler of our physical body, fire and drive: Catch a wave!Moving into the water sign of Pisces
Emotional cleansing in the physical body, fire and drive
Venus ruler of our heart: Holding steady
Stationing direct in the air sign of Libra
Heart and mind alignment
Venus is sitting on 25 degrees from 11th to 22nd November
We're in a holding pattern with the heart
Turns direct on 16th and holds on 25 degrees until 26th November
Mercury ruler of our mental body and mind: Holding steadyStationing retrograde in the fire sign of Sagittarius
Spiritual alignment of the mind/mental energies
Mercury is sitting on 13 degrees Sagittarius from 14th to 19th November
Turns retrograde on 17th November and holds on 13 degrees until 19th November, turns direct on 6th December
The personal planets will be working through 3 different elements which govern the emotions, the mind and the spirit. 
We hold steady and let the cleansing of the past year just clear out all the cobwebs, grief, struggle, pain, exhaustion. Just chill and let in the the love.


16th November: Mars enters Pisces at 9.20 am AEDT
Emotional uplift for the body!  Be in flow!
Until 1st January 2019
Diving into the ‘ocean of emotion’:  Allowing the currents to take us on!
Mars, our masculine warrior of fire and drive ruler of our physical body takes to the Pisces ocean for a cleansing, healing release in the spiritual waters of higher consciousness.

Let the Pisces wave lift the spirit:  Open to the artistic and spiritual urges!
Mars is all fire, drive and physical action and for that reason can find the waters of Pisces a little bit too damp for comfort as Pisces opens us to the inner, artistic urges, spiritual messages from ‘out there’/inside.

Be calm and let the anger wash away!  All resistance must go!
Mars is locked into the old energies of fight or flight of warmongering when a challenge appears but in the expansive consciousness of Pisces there is no chance of that happening as Mars upgrades to new ways of handling life.  He cannot fight the ocean.  He needs to go with the flow.

Unresolved buried emotions in the body are cleansed and purified!
As Mars is ruler of our physical body, his dip into the Pisces energies can bring out those unresolved emotions held within our physical memory banks whether it be personal, ancestral or planetary.

Therapeutic channels for clearing:  Water, Art, Music
We’re working with a refinement of our Mars warrior energy along with our physical body. It’s not about dampening our enthusiasm.  It’s more about the calming of the fires of anger, resentment and locked in fire which needs releasing in a more productive creative form. Swim, paint, sing! 
Mars rules the head and eyes
Pisces rules feet

16th November:  Venus direct in Libra at 25 degrees 15 Libra at 9.51 pm AEDT
Let in the joy!
3rd December Venus enters Scorpio
17th December:  Venus leaves shadow retrograde
10 degrees Scorpio...new territory
11th to 22nd November:  
Stationing on 25 degrees Libra...intensity through this time. 
Interesting that Venus is sitting on this degree opposing Uranus 29 degrees and both still squaring off to the Planetary Nodes right through to the end of the month when there’s an exact opposition of Venus to Uranus on 30th November. So relationship issues continue to be in play as we rebalance our needs and wants against partnership needs/wants. The Sabian Symbol for this degree seems particularly relevant in this balancing act. Times during ‘stations’ intensify the energies.  
Coming out of the retrograde labyrinth:  Breaking up or re-uniting!
We’re about to discover just how much heart reclamation, rebalancing and re-alignment karmically has been going on.  Relationships of all kinds have been undergoing review and reconsideration resulting in people either breaking apart or having a break from partners, workplaces, careers, places, homes. This period has taken us into some soul searching about our needs and wants, desires and what brings us joy. 

Relationships may have gone to a deeper level of connection:
At the same time other relationships have been going to a deeper level of commitment through understanding, acceptance, working in partnership at a heart level with a focus on divine love and its power to heal.  This may apply to all relationships, work, friends, family.  We’re working things out for us to move on with a new understanding and acceptance of ourselves and what is meaningful to us.

Memories:  Emerging from the past!  Reclamation of our hearts!
What golden nuggets of divine joy did we rediscover in this retrograde reflective period? We’ve been healing so many spiritual wounds held in our hearts from this and other lives, pulling in all those lost parts of ourselves which have been holding pain, hurt, grief, loss, disappointment, anger, jealousy, resentment, fear, guilt, blame, shame...need I go on?  I’m sure you get the drift.

We’re recovering any energies which have been outside divine love and acceptance.  ‘All of me...why not take all of me’!

Time to choose divine joy and divine love:  Time to trust again!
With all the backtracking, self-examination going on this year, a lot of us are feeling very shaky, unsure of whether we’re safe to step out and start up the heart again.  No rush with this.  Adjustment to accepting joy, peace, love and the passion of being in the flow will be our brief for a little while.  No need to push when life is flowing our way.  Let the love in, call it in!

Sabian Symbol for Venus’ station in Libra:  From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com
Libra 26
AN EAGLE AND A LARGE WHITE DOVE TURNING CONSTANTLY INTO EACH OTHER
This Symbol implies the ability, or the necessity, of being able to integrate the principle of the will (the “Eagle”) with the principle of the emotions (the “White Dove). Being able to bring these two together makes for a much stronger effect on others and the personality is strengthened and given an edge that it otherwise might not have. There may be confusion around whether to use force or love in some situations. Being firm and yet kind, being flexible and yet sure of what you’re doing or where you’re heading keeps one on an even keel. Alternation of these responses will lead to the best solution. Tempering one's will with love and bolstering up one's emotional responses with strength. Cooperation of mind, will, spirit and heart. Being strong and soft. Considering others.


17th November: 
Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius at 13 degrees 30 Sagittarius at 12.33 pm AEDT
Time travel!
1st December:  Mercury enters Scorpio retrograde
6th December: stations direct at 27 degrees Scorpio
13th December:  Mercury enters Sagittarius
24th December:  Mercury moves out of shadow 13 degrees Sagittarius
14th to 19th November:  Mercury is in station at 13 degrees Sagittarius
This is the time when we are held still and asked to let go of our mental processes, connecting to the higher consciousness.  Stationary periods are a very powerful time for receiving messages which seem to just drop in from the ether. 

2nd to 20th November:  
Mercury is travelling out of bounds...tune in to the cosmos!
Gathering new consciousness, ideas and thoughts.  This is time outside time.

Mercury meets the Great Attractor:  Galactic upgrade!
Significant connection for Mercury at this stationing degree signifying higher consciousness, galactic knowledge and connections coming through not just as they connect but for the whole Mercury retrograde period.

Back to the future:  Take ‘problems’ to the stars!
Mercury takes to the airwaves with the fire of Sagittarius!
Talk about powering into higher consciousness!  Sagittarius is the call to access higher knowledge and consciousness beyond present understanding.  Its expansive energy just adds to this whole Mercury retrograde period as our Mercury vehicle enters the realm of higher understanding via Sagittarius as well as via the Great Attractor and via Mercury’s out of bounds journey during most of his retrograde sojourn. Open to galactic connections and information!

Mercury retrograde takes us on the inner journey:  
We reconnect to the past, our history, people, places and experiences of significance!
We’re reworking, rewinding, rediscovering, renewing, recollecting and revamping our mental operating system and mental bodies. It’s a time when we re-visit possibilities from the past.  Could be dreams, ideas, plans and schemes we put aside, put onto the backburner.  Now we reconnect to these past energies possibly with a view to bring them back into our lives. Let them emerge, develop and grow!

Discover and reconnect with that old spark within:  
The Sagittarian bonfire is firing up!
With Mercury in Sagittarius we’re reconnecting with the old fire that sparked our optimism, hope and enthusiasm.  We could all do with some of this magical energy after such a major year of wading through graveyards and shuffling earthbound energies into the light.
There’s no need to rush to put this energy into play.  All in good time.  The New Moon in Sagittarius on 7th will be starting point for bringing the joy and enthusiasm into play with possibilities gathered in the cosmic journey.



The Sabian symbol for Mercury’s station seems particularly relevant for his retrograde journey with ‘the power of the past coming through’.

Sabian Symbol for Mercury’s ‘station’:  From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com
Sagittarius 14
A VAST PANORAMA OF SAND AND TIME IS UNFOLDING; THE PYRAMIDS AND THE SPHINX IN THEIR GLORY RISE BEFORE THE EYE
This degree shows the power and strength of history and grandeur, along with issues to do with spiritual mysteries and intellectual records and the building of grand monuments and empires. An interest in ancient civilizations often comes with this degree or there may be the desire, or need, to establish some type of monument, or perhaps work at it or worship it. You may be working at building an empire, yours or another's as this often implies pyramid selling and large economic structures. You may need a tour guide and a map and the determination to build things in exact measurements. Power of the past coming through. Spiritual ancestry. Big business and enterprises. Predictions. Prophets. The desire to build a personal edifice. Ancient languages. Lost cities.

That’s all folks!

Hugs all around!

Back with the otters going with the flow of the Piscean ocean.

We’re coming into the final weeks of 2018 as we start feeling a release from the vice like grip of so many retrograde energies along with the power of Jupiter in Scorpio demanding a big let go of past energies which do not serve out growth in consciousness. By Christmas Day we’ll only have one planet in retrograde motion...Uranus. 

Next stop, Sun moves to Sagittarius followed by the Full Moon in Gemini when the moon brings new clarity

Love and blessings to us all as we negotiate this new ground after the nodal shift bringing ourselves into harmony, balance and more clarity as Mercury will help us re-work and regroup in terms of our thinking.

7th November 2018 NN to Cancer, 7th Uranus enters Aries, 8th New Moon in Scorpio, 8th Jupiter enters Sagittarius

 

Hi everyone!

We’re in the power of the Scorpio Sun and readying to welcome the New Moon in Scorpio. Yes...more Scorpio energy bringing the alchemical transformation that is the life, death, rebirth of Scorpio.  We have been taken down to the depths and none more so than these last few weeks with this past week bringing a dramatic shift when Venus moved retrograde from Scorpio into Libra the sign of justice, peace and equity. 

The past week:  Shuffling earthbound energies through doorways!
It's been quite a week with Halloween along with the Venus/Uranus opposition squaring off to the planetary karmic nodes. The intensity has brought many of us to our knees. Some of us physically for sure but we're all in the energetic melting pot of planet earth feeling it emotionally, mentally, physically or spiritually. 
'Sliding doors' has got nothing on what's happening now!

In recovery from the shocks!
We're in the recovery ward, getting our breath and building our energies for the next shift coming this week when the planetary karmic nodes move to Cancer/Capricorn on 7th along with Uranus stationing retrograde!  Just in time for the New Moon in Scorpio on 8th along with Jupiter moving into Sagittarius for the next year. Small mercies bringing big ongoing changes.  But hey...we're still breathing!  Our spirit lives on!  And the sun shines on even in the cold of what feels like the spiritual winter.

The bigger picture:  Evolving our consciousness from survival mode to acceptance of our divine power, strength and worthiness!
It's the never ending story as resistance meets flow, dark meets light, hate meets love, ignorance meets elevated consciousness...and we're in the middle of it all!  We’re learning to allow and release resistance to divine forces of love and integration.  The divine masculine energy is evolving within from the old survival mode of fight of flight to acceptance of the divine will and divine worthiness.  We’re learning to accept our ‘divinity’!

7th November:  Uranus enters Aries Rx at 8.58 am AEDT
The crack where the light gets in & out
Until 7th January stations direct at 28 degrees Aries
6th March:  Uranus enters Taurus until July 2025
What’s been happening with Uranus in Taurus since May: 
Uranus has been travelling retrograde in Taurus since 8th August after moving into Taurus in May this year. It’s given us a taste of what’s ahead from March 2019 for the next 7 years. It’s certainly been earthy and somewhat challenging as we’ve been hit with some awakening calls in our physical lives.

Uranus in Aries until 6th March 2019:  Upgrading our ‘I am’!
Now Uranus dips back into Aries travelling retrograde assisting us to awaken our ‘I am’ divine consciousness to a new level of being. He’s been travelling this energy for years since 2011 so we’re well accustomed to being here.

The discovery of self tour:  Be open to dramatic changes in thinking and being!
Now, we’re going to find out just how much we’ve cleared, shifted and prepared the groundwork for welcoming in our own divine light, owning it and letting it shine from within. Make the most of this energy and tune in to your deepest fire, desire and self!

It’s a breakout!  Uranus has the key to freedom...beyond the stars!
Aries is ruled by Mars, our fire and drive, our masculine warrior and Uranus offers leading edge consciousness, galactic connections and inspirational new ideas and inventions emerging. Uranus in Aries is fired to get things moving that resonate with our true divine selves. In tandem with the Nodal planetary shift, we’re coming home to ourselves!

This is the uplift we’ve been building towards, expecting and trusting.  Breathe it in!


7th November: 
Planetary karmic nodes change at 1.09 pm AEDT
North Node moves to Cancer...Home is where the heart is!
South Node moves to Capricorn...Work and success is creative fulfilment!
Until May 2020
A shift in planetary direction, focus and evolution.  Bringing balance to home and work!

We continue to work with both planetary nodes even though our focus for growth is on the North Node which is Cancer for the next couple of years.  However we work with both Cancer and Capricorn as we bring the emotional watery energies of Cancer into balance with the Capricorn earth energy.


Accessing the Cancer power:  
Focus on home, nurturing, accessing ancestors, family, owning memories!
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, the divine feminine so the energy of the divine mother comes to the fore.  Cancer rules the past, memories, the subconscious, home and family as well as nurturing and the mothering energy. 

It rules our inner ‘nurturing mother’ energy, the energy we access when we ‘grow’ our inner child through the old memory banks.
Cancer brings the desire to feel our place of ‘belonging’, to find our soul tribe.

Accessing the Capricorn power:  
Focus on place in the world, accessing gifts, talents, work, success, fulfilment!
Capricorn ruled by Saturn, is representative of the patriarchal father authority, ruling systems, organisations, governments, structures and ‘authorities’ of all kinds.  It rules our personal authority in the world as well as where we will find particular success in the ‘outer world’ the world of work.  Capricorn brings ambition and commitment.

We’re growing into working with joy and dropping off the treadmill!

Capricorn brings the desire and ambition to find success in the world with our unique abilities.

Eclipses falling in Cancer or Capricorn:  
Sudden breakthroughs coming in areas as indicated above
The majority of the eclipses for the next couple of years will be in these two signs as eclipses bring dramatic changes to both our personal and planetary evolution.  The past 2 years or so we’ve been working with the nodes in the fixed signs of Leo and Aquarius and as most of the eclipses have fallen in these signs it has been quite challenging as fixed signs are resistant to change...broadly speaking. I’ll post the list of eclipses for 2019/20 in next few weeks.


Cancer and Capricorn are cardinal signs:  A positive energy for pushing through changes!
Now the nodes are in cardinal signs which are more dynamic in terms of change and readiness to make changes.  With the predominance of Pluto and Saturn still in Capricorn, we can expect movement and change to be more accessible with respect to systems, government, personal and political ideologies, mindsets and belief systems.  

We’re dropping the old consciousness around work and success in the world. Old structures will continue to fall, be destroyed so that new energies can take their place. We take the best from the past into the future. We don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Transforming traditions and the status quo:  
Upgrading and evolving consciousness in home, work!
Cancer and Capricorn both like tradition so even though they’re dynamic energies who want get moving, up and running, they need to grapple with changing things from the way they are and have been into more evolved forms of being.  So, whether it’s home or work. mothering or fathering, the chances are that these energies will be undergoing change within us and on the wider stage globally in governments, institutions.

Balancing the energies of past and future:  Changes being made here and now!
Related imageCapricorn likes tradition and the status quo and can be resistant to change because of this.  However, the Capricorn desire for success and achievement in the physical world can drive through those walls of resistance to change when the desire for achievement is greater than holding onto old ways.

Similarly Cancer relates to the past and sentimental attachments and can feel the emotional insecurities which emerge from the memory banks like haunting ghosts pulling us back to other times and places bringing in emotions which feel totally irrational. 

It’s going to be an interesting balancing act.


8th November: 
New Moon in Scorpio at  15 degrees 11 minutes Scorpio at 3.01 am AEDT...out of the cave!
The New Moon aligns with the Sun to give us a reboot and focus in the energies of Scorpio, the sign of death, rebirth and renewal.  We are birthing out of the Scorpio cave of inner transformation and bringing forth new life. 

Fresh start with a divine connection to Neptune in Pisces:  The wave we waited for!
A beautiful water trine between New Moon/Sun in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces uplifting our vision to the bigger picture, helping us to release the ‘victim’ within, all that sense of powerlessness that is being experienced by so many on the earth this past year. 

Spiritual transcendence and divine artistic impulses!
Neptune in Pisces offers spiritual transcendence and arm in arm with the New Moon in Scorpio, a significant and powerful and dynamic rebirth for our emotional, artistic and spiritual selves.  

Open to new avenues for artistic expression:  ‘This is me!’ 
I have no doubt that new artistic impulses will emerge with the impetus of this New Moon as the Grand Cross plays out opening the doorways of consciousness of our Aries ‘I am’ selves.  No...not painting by numbers! lol

Jupiter linking in with the planetary nodes at the New Moon:  Planetary uplift!
Jupiter is in a flowing trine to the planetary nodes at the New Moon in his final stages of his journey through Scorpio. This may feel like a huge release of old planetary ‘burdens’ we’re carrying bringing in a positive uplift as we let it all go!

On our way to completing the last quarter of 2018:
Venus and Mercury, our heart and mind energies are now out of Scorpio so we now are on our way to completing the last quarter of this year of 2018.  It will take more than likely to end of December before we really get the picture of what’s happened. Mercury has to dip back into Scorpio

Grand Cross:  The ‘players’...Venus, Uranus, North Node, South Node 
Venus in Libra still in the retrograde labyrinth, faces off to Uranus in Aries so any issues of partnership, relationship which are confining or restricting of our true selves, our Aries I am divinity are up for examination, review, renewal or reframing in a form which assists the expression of our fiery independence. 

Uranus in Aries brings sudden unexpected insights and understandings regarding our heart felt commitments to ourselves and to significant others and our spirit on earth at this time. This fire power will be firing up our sense of personal power and igniting us with the light of our true self.  
It’s break out time!

The planetary nodes now in Cancer/Capricorn at 29 degrees are squaring
off to this Venus and Uranus opposition bringing the bigger picture of planetary evolution into the equation.  Is this for me?  for us?  for the planet? 

Where do I belong?  
My greatest joy of spiritual expression?
The Grand Cross offers greater understanding of and insight into our place in the bigger scheme of things, how we can find expression of our true selves in this new planetary landscape with the incoming focus on home/work. What new energies will come into our hearts and minds bringing some solutions to what has seemed like a huge impasse this past year? 

Home and Work:  
Issues related to these areas come forward!  Who am I?
Home, family, place of belonging will be a driving force in our insights and any decisions we make at this time. Issues of work are evolving in terms of workplace, belonging, financial and physical security and may well take us in a whole new direction with respect to the nature of work, workplace and earnings.

Getting our ducks in a row:  Are we all on board?  
Divine alignment of all our ‘sub personalities’ with our ‘I am’ self!
This is the New Moon asking us to get all our sub personalities and unresolved energies to align with our goals here and now.  The resistant forces within need to join us now in this powerful new moon as Scorpio is in charge of rebirth after the desolation, grief and despair of the past is resolved in the dissolving light of divine love.  The Sabian Symbol for Uranus now is ‘A duckpond and its brood’




Sabian Symbols for the New Moon in Scorpio:  From Lynda Hill ‘Will we have a reason to smile’

Sabian Symbol for the New Moon in Scorpio:  From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com
Scorpio 16
A GIRL'S FACE BREAKING INTO A SMILE
This Symbol shows the ability to, or the necessity of, putting on a happy face, smiling and being warm and welcoming. The fact that the “Girl’s Face is Breaking” into a smile implies that she may not always be smiling; she may not always have things to smile about. However, the act of smiling helps to draw people closer; to give people permission to get to know you. Smiling is the simple sense of inner happiness shining through. It is the expression of your ability to choose between happiness and unhappiness and then choosing to express it. Smile and see how things change, it can be infectious and lighten the mood of those around you. Drawing others. Willingness to relate. Things that make one happy. Breaking the ice. Smiling or frowning? Facial expressions. Facial feedback. Eye contact. Dental hygiene.


8th November:  Jupiter enters Sagittarius at 11.38 pm AEDT
Getting fired up!
Until November 2019
Jupiter’s home for the next year:   The Scorpio eagle takes off!
Think big, expand the mind and breathe new life into our whole being as Jupiter comes home to the sign of Sagittarius.  He’s joining Mercury, our messenger who’s raising our mental consciousness and clearing cobwebs of thinking when he turns retrograde in mid November. 

From the depths to the heights!   Out of the cave and into the sky!
The Scorpio eagle is asking us to fly high and see the big picture...the whole canvas...as he meets with the Sagittarian energy of expanded consciousness...the flying horse!

Societal and personal changes ahead:  Getting to the ‘truth’!
Jupiter is home for the next year and will colour so much of our societal landscape as well as our personal fire and drive to get to the truth of our lives within the broader landscape of society. 

Our quest ‘What is the truth?’:  Focussing on divine truth! 
Truth is a personal construct filtered through the lens of our experiences and memories so it’s sometimes challenging to reach divine truth!  Divine truth emerges from divine ‘law and justice’ and divine energies are beyond human law.  In the next year, divine truth and divine law will come to the fore.

Crusaders awake:  
Divine consciousness is calling us on to the open road of divine freedom and expansion!
Jupiter is the sign of the crusader for truth and justice so the next year looks interesting in terms of getting to the truth of our lives bringing in ‘divine truth’ and living that truth.

Prepare to expand consciousness in relation to our perception of life and spirituality!
Jupiter rules higher consciousness, education, teaching, publishing, spirituality, philosophy and religion so it is likely that these are the areas of wider society that will come into the picture in the wider landscape of society as well as within our own personal consciousness and construct. 

‘The truth sets you free’:  Take the road of the spiritual ‘warrior’, the seeker of divine truth! 
A quote emanating from Jesus Christ in the bible which has come to mean the psychological examination of the self, the clearing of those inner deceptions, the ‘lies’ we tell ourselves, the false masks we maintain as a result of taking on and living according to social, familial conditioning and benchmarks.


Masks off and commitment to discover within the joy of being our true selves!
When we take to the pathway of illumination towards enlightenment we take on the brief to strip away the falseness within that we all carry. We become seekers of divine  truth and acceptance of our deep desire for spiritual love and divine reunion. Jupiter in 

Sagittarius is opening us up to hope, optimism and the joy of self discovery and love.

That’s all folks!  Hugs all around!  We are family and this next year we’re gathering with soul family on earth!

Can you imagine your life fulfilled by an abundance of emotional, mental, spiritual and physical fulfilment?  That’s the ‘goal’ of the new earth!  To live and celebrate life on earth and to be the embodiment of our divinity. We all have varying desires as humans but essentially we all want that joy of life on earth and the fulfilment that comes from living the creative life.  When we stop ‘creating’ we die inside.

I’m working with the evolution of my being to heal my physical vessel as I believe we have the energetic power of love and light which requires acceptance by every aspect, memory within us in order for us to manifest our desires.  So for me it’s ‘divine reunion or bust’ on my evolutionary road.  However, I believe that we are all working consciously or not learning to embody our divinity.  It may not seem that way as the duality seems to be increasing but eventually it will swing back to centre.  Eventually.

This is quite a lengthy update so if it’s too much info to take in, just read the headings and look at the pictures.  Apologies for repetition in this one.  Been very much on the back foot physically this past week.

Love and blessings to us all as we travel ‘the good red road’ to living in a more elevated loving consciousness on earth!
