Hi everyone! Yes, Annie, the sun does come out...today!
What’s been happening: Planetary overload?
Planetary changes: Gear
Changes!
It’s been interesting week with changes happening to so much of our
being as planets changed signs and shifted directions with the accompanying
unsettled feelings. As planets near the end of their transit of a sign, there’s
an intensification of energy as if to say ‘Quick! Got to finish up all the
loose ends’.
Last weekend Mercury moved from frantic Gemini to emotional Cancer.
More emotional focus, on communication this time. Talking it out with others
where you feel safe.
From the Moon to the Sun: Jupiter’s move into Leo for next
year!
Midweek, Jupiter moved from Cancer into Leo for the next year. The
focus moved from the Moon’s world of the past, memories, the home and the
emotional into a focus on the fiery spirit of Leo’s passion, all arising from
our spiritual link to the light of the Sun. You may have experience a multitude
of emotional energy arising around security issues as Jupiter finished his work
in Cancer.
November 2013 to July 2014 Mars in Libra
Rebalancing: Karmic
justice!
Mars hasn’t been the happiest of chappies since November 2013 as
he was thrown into a deep and challenging rebalancing process in Libra, ruler of
relationships.
Passion and drive held in
check since November 2013: All self-love!
It’s been a hard slog with Libra
holding our masculine fire, drive and passion in check as we resolve issues of relationship with ourselves and
with
significant others.
We’ve been learning when to act and
when to be still, to manifest from a balanced place of integrated
extroversion/introversion. We’ve been learning self-love through self care.
Fair’s fair! Enough is enough!
Physically: In Libra it’s
been a karmic resolution and justice being restored
Mars is the physical body and while
in Libra we’ve been getting a karmic rebalancing of our physical being. Many of
us have been releasing and resolving long buried cell memories of this and past
lives/other realities which have been keeping us reliving some other reality,
time or place. Anyone had headaches this past week? Also, maybe strange aches
and pains releasing from the body. Much resolution of old relationship
energies, imbalances in relation to abuse whether in this or other lives.
Mars finishing up, being finished off in
Libra:
Mars, the warrior, completes his last week of Libra finishing school.
After 8 months in Libra, learning the art of peace instead of practising
the art of war, we find Mars being contained has him feeling somewhat
suppressed. He’s stamping his feet and waving his arms in the air, feeling the
upcoming release from all this training in politics and diplomacy.
Resolution, one way or another: Karmic
justice
As
he finishes off his sojourn in Libra, explosive feelings may have been released
and ongoing long term relationship conflicts, within and without, will be wound
up. They could come to a head either peacefully or not. Whatever happens,
resolution is possible.
Mars is graduating from the School of Peace and this
warrior of war will be glad to kick over the traces and get on his way in
Scorpio, much more to his liking.
26th July: Mars moves into
Scorpio at 12.24 pm AEST...freeing the fiery butterflies!
until mid September
Art: Pedro Ruiz I call this
‘Freeing the butterflies’
What’s coming in:
Freeing the
fire and drive of our inner butterflies!
Mars in Scorpio is fired! On home
territory!
Mars was once the ruler of Scorpio as well as ruler of Aries until Pluto
was discovered. Mars has his head back on his shoulders and is ready to go, go,
go!
The truth test:
Have we evolved our passion, drive and aggression?
Have we transformed our passion and drive to be more loving, harmonious
and balanced?
Have we brought karmic justice to our lives?
Have we learned to be more assertive and less aggressive?
Have we learned to be more loving and kind to ourselves? to others?
The
truth of our progress will be revealed as Mars moves into Scorpio.
We’re fired
and ready for action, more than we have been for months.
Scorpio energy goes through us like a dose of salts transforming our
lives. With Mars in Scorpio, we’ll feel more ready to take on the world than we
have for a long time.
In Scorpio, Mars will be tested on his
evolutionary progress. Eagle or Scorpion? Can
he fly like the eagle or will he self-destruct like the Scorpion biting itself
and everyone around?
Scorpio is a sign represented by two symbols representing the ‘muggle’
and the ‘magical’, the Scorpion and the Eagle. This is because Scorpio is all
about transformation, life, death and rebirth.
We
can also include the image of the golden phoenix within the Scorpio magic bag of
personas! Returning to life, reborn in the light!
27th July: New Moon
in Leo at 8.41 am AEST at 3 degrees 52 Leo...fun, games and
frivolity!
Sun and Moon are speaking the
same shining language as they meet at the New Moon in Leo. Our extrovert and
introvert urges meet and are speaking the same
language.
The inner
shining spirit of self is calling:
Are you ready to
shine without pretences, masks and false ego?
The
purity of spirit comes through the light of the Sun, igniting and enhancing our
golden selves. When we are coming from that pure space of being ourselves
without the cloak of conditioning and the labels and benchmarks of society, we
are living and being in truth, our truth.
Creativity: Be true to self! Leo is ruled by the Sun, the light of
our spiritual essence. It is time to express your essence,
your light and spirit in the world.
Love and romance: Let the
heart open to the power of love!
Isn’t being in love an amazing feeling! Our hearts are opened, our
spirits become optimistic and love rules our lives. Nothing is impossible when
we have this experience. Our spirit is revealed and shining. We see into the
soul of ‘the other’, our lover and we are enchanted. And we feel ‘wouldn’t it
be great if it was like this all the time’.
This is the energy calling us now, to open our hearts and spirits to
love and the romance of life, to experience the enchantment that comes when our
reality is enhanced and uplifted by spirit. It’s not just about a lover,
partner, spouse. It’s life.
Why
do we fall out of love? We just stop seeing each other’s spirit and
experiencing the soul connection. That’s my take on it.
Play and Children/childhood: Back to what
matters!
The
child energy brings us back to innocence and purity, to that essence of self we
lost amongst the growth into adult life. Maybe you never lost it and it’s well
alive inside of you. This is the time to embrace it, enhance it, reclaim it if
necessary and be childlike in your joy of life. This is the aphrodisiac of
life! Enjoy!
Wishing at the New Moon:
The seeds are planted for the next
lunar month and the next Leo year!
Make wishes and send them out for any or all of
the above. We set the intent at the New Moon and then build on that for the
next month.
It’s definitely showtime!
Planetary energies at this New Moon: Passion rules at the Leo
Party!
New Moon, Sun and Jupiter conjunct They're running the show together!
A Leo party! It’s a rave!
Jupiter makes it bigger than big!
With Jupiter joining the Sun and the Moon in Leo, it’s become a major event in the calendar. EVERYONE’S invited! That’s Jupiter for you. The more the merrier!
No, it’s not a birthday, but with Jupiter in Leo, every day’s a birthday!
It’s completely over the top with the love, joy and passion of
life!
In
this kind of energy people can fall in love or fall in love all over again.
Make the most of it. Just take care with overindulgence!
Mars in Scorpio squaring/challenging the New
Moon and Jupiter:
Uh oh! Here’s trouble!
Uh oh! There always has to be a trouble maker at
the gatherings. Is Mars looking for a fight with the joyful dancing crowd at
Leo’s New Moon party?
Has he learned his lessons in Libra? This is a test
of his new balanced, transformed self at the Leo gathering where everyone wants
a good time. Is Mars going to pick a fight or add to the fun and celebration?
He’s in our hands, minds and hearts. Up to us.
Giving Mars a chance to join the party:
Second chances are good!
Maybe Mars just wants to fire up the energy of joy,
being as he’s travelling in the Scorpio vehicle of change.
Maybe he’s looking for love and
connection with the joy of life. He’s certainly going to fire proceedings with
his passion and drive. Look out...someone!
Venus opposes/challenges Pluto:
What, more trouble or is Pluto
looking for love?
The dark lord Pluto has emerged from his
dark cave to join the party too. Pluto could be the wet blanket we all dread,
wearing his dark, brooding energy like a cloak of identification with the dark
side. But let’s remember, he comes from deep within the earth, where we find the
precious gold within.
Pluto rules Scorpio, ruler of transformation as well as sexuality and
intimacy. When he meets Venus at this New Moon gathering, look out! Love,
intimacy and sexuality could be aroused. Pluto’s not looking for a speed dating
experience. It’s all or nothing!
With Pluto, love and romance can turn into serious passion and
deep love in an instant!
Sabian Symbols for New Moon: From Lynda Hill
http://sabiansymbols.typepad.com/
The
Sabian Symbol for the
new Moon is Leo
4:
A
Man Formally Dressed Stands Near Trophies He Brought Back From A Hunting
Expedition.
Extract :A Man Formally Dressed Stands Near Trophies’ is an image of someone putting on their best attire and showing something that’s seen by himself and others as being a reward for achieving success in what is probably normally a male dominated arena.
Keywords: Trophies of conquest. The desire to show oneself. Proving one’s animal instincts for the benefit of social position. Displays of manliness. The spoils of daring and courage. Notches on the belt. Victories over another. Trophies awarded for one’s club, social standing or country. Looking for pats on the back. Diplomas. Guns, rifles, ammunition. Academy Awards. Animal liberationists.
The Caution: Dominating nature with power. Showing off one’s spoils. Warfare and the ravages of it. Keeping tabs on one’s conquests. Boasting of masculine prowess. Living in the past. Arrogance. Seeing things as objects to conquer. Testosterone overloads. Compromises made to attain social acceptance. Envious responses to success.

the self.

talk and share!
The
commercial world is alive with possibilities as we connect and interact with
others, expanding and sharing creative ideas.
The heart is jumping with loving
conversations:
Mercury rules travel, so we could take a trip, just for fun!
Lots of opportunity for loving exchanges with those who matter in our
lives as well as sharing the love with others
The inner child is begging to be heard:
Come talk and play with me!

movies!
Write a children’s story.

That’s if folks! The Yellow Brick Road calls us
on!
I’ve written quite a bit about what’s been happening these past 8 months
with Mars in Libra as it’s been such a strong influence on our lives for an
extended period. I always feel understanding as much as possible is our key to
moving on. Otherwise, we keep dibble dabbling about in the past until we ‘get
it’. So, hoping you all survived this challenging period and feeling better for
it. If not now, then in the weeks to come.
Happy travelling everyone on the yellow brick road! As always, love and
blessings to all of us pilgrims as we step along the road under the Leo Sun and
New Moon.

It’s all about
love
