November 2018: Scorpio New Moon and Planetary Transits
Today’s New Moon takes us deep into the underbelly of the underworld as we come face to face with our power, our transformation, our resurrection. During the Dark Moon in Libra we took some time to evaluate our relationship to death and what it signifies in our personal realms, now, today we begin to plant into the darkness of this fertile speed, creating alters, and ceremonies to acknowledge and celebrate that which is old and new.
Happy New Moon in Scorpio Dear One!
“the only way to embrace darkness is to enter it.” -ML
Today’s New Moon takes us deep into the underbelly of the underworld as we come face to face with our power, our transformation, our resurrection. During the Dark Moon in Libra we took some time to evaluate our relationship to death and what it signifies in our personal realms, now, today we begin to plant into the darkness of this fertile speed, creating alters, and ceremonies to acknowledge and celebrate that which is old and new.
The New Moon in Scorpio creates a relationship with Lilith, the asteroid of divine power and the ultimate feminine essence. Lillith is raw power. Lilith is the fuel that fans the flame and keeps our engine burning long after we’ve burnt ours. Lillith says don’t you dare give up, and gives us the power and will not to.
This New Moon creates a paradigm of new beginning. With Pluto being the natural dominion ruler of Scorpio, this New Moon encourages transformation. Think about the areas of your life that are stagnant? That are reliant on your ability to allocate and attract new resources? Or depend on you to manage and/or oversee? How can you delegate? How can you share the burden by creating an outreach community of support and responsibility? How can you acknowledge others within the commitment(s) that you’ve made?
The planetary aspects surrounding this New Moon push us deeper into the realm of self and ancestral healing. The New Moon’s square with Lilith in Capricorn inspires us to heal the ancestral wounds of our trauma surrounding power. Take back your power. Find strength within this challenge. How can you Manifest the security and progression that you seek?
With Neptune Rx in Pisces squaring Mercury in Sagittarius, our dreams get a reality check. Do not allow others to break down your vision just because they cannot see it. If they don’t support you, so what. Keep moving until someone comes along that will support this dream and help you communicate it more efficiently. Especially after two days of The Sun in Scorpio forming a harmonious Trine with Neptune Rx in Pisces, this sudden lack of support and challenge from close friends, associates, lovers, and family could come as a shock and a low blow of some sort.
Uranus doesn’t help out with the tension of today’s potency as it continues its subtle opposition with Venus Retrograde in Libra. This dynamic challenges our desires of independence and diplomacy, do we live for self or others, the answer is both. Finding a middle ground between independence and Co-dependency is interdependence. Creating a relationship of interdependence allows us to manifest from a place of self-responsibility and authentic power.
Things You Should Note About the November 2018 Scorpio New Moon
power struggles aren’t worth entertaining. ignore those who push your buttons but don’t roll over to their tyranny. with this being election season, we as individuals are exercising our divine birth right to choose. choosing yourself is not a crime. choosing what you believe in is ultimately choosing yourself. don’t be afraid to live life against the grain. with mars still floating through Aquarius, our liberating spirits are still up and at em, ready to demolish anything that questions our freedom. always remember that you are still an individual. you are a being within the whole. make it a priority to give to yourself just as much as you give to others.
money comes and money goes, but that doesn’t mean you have to be foolish about how you spend it. how much money we make is not whats important, its our emotional relationship to money that steers our boat. if you fear money, if you hold shame around money, if you envy or hate money, then you will create negative patterns and life cycles surrounding how you receive and spend your money. but when you open to the energetic frequency of money and allow it to be a companion in your reality, its like your best friend, always around when you need it.
narcissism can show up deep and true for a lot of us light workers this lunar cycle and its important to stay grounded no matter what. being your biggest fan is your birth right, and so is living in your light. But we all know what a show off looks like. be conscientious of your intentions when sharing your gifts with the world. give from a place of compassion and inclusivity. don’t be the asshole who only goes to the soup kitchen for instagram and photo ops. be sincere with your transgressions. we all know a liar and a phony when we see one. don’t let it be you.
Things to do During the Scorpio New Moon:
1. Create an action plan.
Think about your big picture. Where are you going? How did you get here? What will you need on your journey? This exercise can be written down, drawn out, or turned into a vision board. It’s purpose is to create a simple action plan that encourages you to take small steps towards one or multiple big goals.
2. Connect with an accountability partner.
Establishing a connection of accountability allows two people to share responsibility for each other’s actions. No, this person is not your mother or your life coach, your accountability partner simply holds you to your commitment, and enforces the consequences you agreed on when you do not. This support practice teaches us the power of community and mirroring. We are mirrors for one another’s evolution, when we activate this ourselves, we open up a limitless grid of creativity, compassion, and material support.
3. Create a family tree or road map.
Draw out a road or a tree and try to trace your steps all the way back to your ancestors or the first step you ever took. Call your mom or someone who raised you and figure out your milestones. Think about losing your first tooth, having your first kid, your first job, the first thing you ever bought with your first paycheck, the first place you drove when you got your drivers license, think about the history of your life. It’s so easy to forget all that you have accomplished when you’re so focused on getting to where you are going. Try to express gratitude for your road or family history today.
4. Write your eulogy.
Believe it or not death is our society’s biggest fear and motivator. When something dies, something else lives. When something leaves, something else comes. That’s just the natural cycle of life, the natural cycle of existence. Think about your time on earth. What are you using your power for? What legacy are you leaving behind? What purpose are you serving? What projects, dreams, ideas, and communities will you build for our future? What are you manifesting today to go towards tomorrow? It’s important to know this once you’ve taken a look at where you’ve been. The best way to get clear on what you want to manifest is to think about your death. Come face to face with reality. What will you leave? What will you contribute to the world? Under this Scorpio New Moon connect to the source of your manifestation. Think about the power it takes to live. The power you posses when you die. Think about how you want to meet in the middle and leave something behind. What would you leave? How would we remember you? What did you manifest
September 2018: Virgo New Moon and Horoscopes
The September 2018 New Moon in Virgo continues its natal path through the Zodiac after a illuminating Leo New Moon and Solar Eclipse. This fiery time set our insides ablaze, creating earthquakes within our souls to break up the destruction of holding on to the past. Virgo comes along and adds matter, Earth, and form to the ashes of what was. Now we look at the truth, now we sift through what works and what doesn’t, what feels good and what doesn’t — now we move ahead.
Efficiency: New Moon in Virgo
“The Moon is always new when you are one one within” - Erykah Badu.
New moons open up heaven’s gates. They are the portal into the everlasting tunnel of light and dark. They give us the hope to face our future and the wisdom to face what is real, what is possible. As you may know the new Moon phase is the first phase of any lunar (Moon) cycle. The new Moon is a continuation of darkness, fertile soil, the womb. It is a period of fertilization, a time most beneficial to plant new seeds, intentions, habits, behaviors, and relationships with the realization that they need time to grow. Western culture perpetuates the lunar power of the moon through the endless slew of movies that interpret the moon’s power as a phenomenon of magic, luck, and uncontrollable power. We see this rhetoric in the form of werewolves and witches, western cultures way of speaking truth with a sprinkle of bull.
The September 2018 New Moon in Virgo continues its natal path through the Zodiac after a illuminating Leo New Moon and Solar Eclipse. This fiery time set our insides ablaze, creating earthquakes within our souls to break up the destruction of holding on to the past. Virgo comes along and adds matter, Earth, and form to the ashes of what was. Now we look at the truth, now we sift through what works and what doesn’t, what feels good and what doesn’t — now we move ahead.
But before we can move ahead full steam we must embrace the lessons of the path brought forth in Saturn, Pluto, and Mars Retrograde period. Over the past 5 months all three planets have experienced the potency of Capricorn’s diligence and desire for security. This dynamic created an intense summer full of delays, setbacks, conflicts, and opportunities to strengthen through belief, faith, and knowing. This is our moment to sit in the darkness and let it speak to us, let it guide us to the intentions and lessons that must blossom and birth the new life we are all creating and anxiously seeking.
Virgo is the 6th constellation of the Zodiac and it teaches us the patient sacrifice of responsibility and service. It awakens the nurturer in us all and encourages us to love our work, to be patient with our work, and to share, share, share our work without limitation. If you feel the desire to plan, organize, declutter, strategize, perfect or rework a situation then it’s best to follow that instinct. However, this is a beautiful new Moon to rest your working-boots and give thanks to the precession of your immeasurable growth. Use this new Moon, this day, this moment and now to sing praise to your family as Virgo is a family-oriented sign. Give breathe to your goals by allowing them to grow. When you plant your seed in the ground do you sit and stare at it for 72 hours straight waiting for it to grow? Give space to your dreams, give space to your hopes, let them do their thing and come back to you fuller, prosperous, and ready.
Affirmation: I am new. My life is free-flowing, efficient, aligned, and productive in and with Spirit.
What does this mean?
This means change. It means every aspect of your life is being transformed with efficiency, with labor, and with grace. Virgo’s sensuality ripples through each and every one of us cultivating a deeper desire for intimacy and connection. With our universal 11/2 year and month relationships take center stage in our physical and spiritual realms. Our focus on relationships forces us to evaluate who we work with, what labor means for us, and how this affects us on a global and collective scale.
Lessons of patience, contemplation, and observation draw us forward and ask us to be more present with ourselves and our families. Virgo’s family-oriented vibe stimulates the tensions present between Mars and Capricorn, Pluto and Capricorn, and Venus in Scorpio. If you are unfamiliar with how these energies affect you I suggest looking for each in your natal chart and observing how this affects you today.
How does this affect me?
Planetary Aspects:
Venus enters Scorpio Sept. 9, 2018
Venus has been in Libra, the sign of love and Beauty since August 6. Today, September 9 on the same day as the Virgo New Moon Venus will enter the 8th constellation of the Zodiac, Scorpio. When Venus is in Scorpio our relationships acquire a layer of depth, intensity, and mysticism. Our resources become more shared, communal, and formed on the basis of self-leadership. Scorpio is a fixed water sign. It represents the feminine components of yin energy, the right side of the brain. Together Scorpio and Venus are possessive, passionate, and sometimes envious. Scorpio desires control and Venus needs connection. Venus will be in Scorpio until October 31st and we should use this long transit to uncover the deepest parts of ourself. How do we relate to others? What values do we hold for our relationships? Our time? Our money?
Scorpio resembles the emotional aspect to our self-journey and empowerment. Scorpio asks us to be honest with our past life lessons, ancestral lineage, and shared possessions. Scorpio likes to get to the root of all things, knowledge, and wisdom. It desires knowing, depth, and sorcery. During Venus’s eight-week transit in Scorpio expect to get acquainted with diving deep. Use this period to transform your relationships to be more congruent and aligned with your highest hopes, dreams, values, and ideals of love, prosperity, and community. Imagine yourself as the leader. What would you do?
Mars enters Aquarius Sept 10, 2018.
Over the past 3 weeks Mars has been in the tenth constellation of the Zodiac, Capricorn. Mars is the planet of action, will, and desire. It supplements or inner urges and directs our expressions of energy outward and inward. When Mars is in Aquarius our motivation is liberation. We desire to be free, we desire to be heard, to explore, to transcend, and to make new. Aquarius is the 11th constellation of the Zodiac and represents our individual essence in correspondence with the whole. Mars highlights Aquarius’s desire to be free and express its innovations with radicalism, excitement, and wisdom. Although these two naturally get along well, this energy can be imbalanced if too much effort is placed on going against the grain rather than reframing it.
With the internal and external changes taking place within our individual and collective societies, we must take responsibility and action for the much needed changes looming implementation.
What structures, foundations, systems, processes, and belief systems have you internalized over the past 6 weeks that are ready to enter into their first, next, or final stage. This placement gives those initiatives a green light but we should continue to move with patience, efficiency, and precision especially while the Sun is still in strategic Virgo and Pluto still Retrograde in Capricorn. Over time our confidence holds and our resources multiply. When Pluto stations direct on September 30, 2018 we will embody the transformation within providing a harmonious flow without. Until then, use this time to take slow, patient, definitive steps towards the right direction.
First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius September 16, 2018 at 7:15 PM
The First Quarter Moon is the second major phase of the lunar cycle. It represents a period of balance, illumination and darkness and fullness and void. When the Moon is waxing and half-lit we are conscious of the path and it’s unfoldment — the seeds of the new moon are sprouting and a sense of direction overcomes us. The FQ Moon is a time of ripeness and productivity. We feel inspired and courageous motivating us to walk closer and implement the first phases of the dream. Although this period can be productive it is best to pace yourself and be realistic about what is to be expected and accomplished in this fluctuating time.
The September FQ Moon occurs in the 9th constellation of the Zodiac Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign whose polarity is yang, the masculine essence and left side of the brain. When the FQ Moon occurs in Sagittarius we are reminded of the deep lessons of last months Scorpio FQ Moon. Instead of imagining new ways to transform we are blessed with the optimism of Sagittarius to see them through. Our vision is expansive, non-traditional, and creative. With several planetary aspects surrounding Mercury in Virgo, the communication planet in its natural placement of Virgo inspires us to get strategic and practical with our missions. Sagittarius asks you what are you waiting for while Virgo’s fine sense of detail gives you the plan to actually see it through. This is go for it energy. Trust the universe’s call to take a leap. Don’t get caught up in Mercury’s over analyzing ways. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect, you are perfect as you are, your idea is perfect as it is, give it time to evolve but put it out there, the time is now.
Leo New Moon and Partial Solar Eclipse 2018: Affirmations and Ritual to Ease into Change.
A New Moon starts the cycle of renewal. It ignites the eternal flame of emotion, subconscious, and feeling. The moon's newness is dark soil. It is the fertilization that nourishes our seeds through the storm. It is cold. It is fresh. It is raw and unnerving. The August 2018 Lion New Moon in Leo is no different. It is charged with the illumination of the sun's hidden rays as it casts the last Leo solar eclipse of 2018.
A New Moon starts the cycle of renewal. It ignites the eternal flame of emotion, subconscious, and feeling. The moon's newness is dark soil. It is the fertilization that nourishes our seeds through the storm. It is cold. It is fresh. It is raw and unnerving. The August 2018 Lion New Moon in Leo is no different. It is charged with the illumination of the sun's hidden rays as it casts the last Leo solar eclipse of 2018.
On August 11, 2018, in the wee early moments of dawn, the moon rises in the darkness again. Invisible in her approach but almighty in her roar, our insides are purified from their sleeping states forever.
You can expect deep changes with this lunar phase. Slow, insightful, deliberate, and decaying transition. The kind of transformation that makes you cut all your hair off and grow it back three months later. The kind of shift that alters everything and nothing all in one swoop.
With rebellious Uranus now Retrograde in stubborn Taurus until November, our internal landscapes are sticky and chaotic with colorful greys. Experiences during this transit can feel boring and dull, but still chaotic and unnerving to say the least.
Raging projections of submerged fears or worries may surface. Try not to cast or shun your shadows. Greet them. Invite them in. Make them tea and coffee. Invite them to know you. To reveal themselves deeply to you.
Understanding our hurt leads to self-confidence that cannot be tethered by fear. It is the kind of strength that surpasses all physical understanding and shame. It is internalized. Deep. Buried and tucked away like a newborn baby suckling on its mother's full tender breast.
No matter how you feel during this new moon, your feelings are raw, valid, and glistening. Listen to them. Honor them. Let go of what no longer feels good. Release what now brings you suffering. You do not have to suffer. Banish the belief that love is suffering. Love is stretching. It expands, challenges, and sustains but it does not bring malice. Be strong and brave enough to face the difference. Even it is your own pain.
"Being who you are is not a chore, it is not work. It is commitment."
A Ritual For the 2018 New Moon and Solar Eclipse:
First: Write down your one thing that just has to go today. It can be very specific or extremely broad. Think of this as your personal nemesis. What rules your Life? What oozes into the corners and overshadows your glow? Is it fear, scarcity, a person, an experience, a place, a thing? Call it forward and bravely write it down. Writing it down allows you to bring it from the higher realm of consciousness into the material world of the physical.
Once you've taken a second to write it down, ground yourself. Close your eyes and visualize this thing. Visualize the essence (the energy) of what it is that you are vanishing. If it is a feeling invite the feeling to take over you. If examples of this feeling pop up, try to ignore it. Allow the feeling to feel itself. You are the observer, not the feeling.
After you have taken a second to ground, start your practice by asking yourself some simple questions.
Ask yourself questions like:
How does ____ effect me?
Why does ____effect me?
What triggers ____?
How can I directly address _____?
What will happen if I address _____?
Once you've got a clear picture and some answered questions either written down or in your mind, write down and say the following three lines out loud.
I accept ________ as my truth.
I embrace _________ as my truth.
I banish ________ with love.
Say and write these three lines with power and courage and strength. Give impact to your words. Breathe Life and healing onto the paper. Don't be afraid to let this go. Don't be afraid to let go of this FOREVER. Humans instinctually have this intrinsic fear of eternity but it's the truth behind what we are. We areeternal flames. We do shine brightly forever. So why not banish something for eternity? It is possible. You do have the power to make a decision and stick to it. To never react to its triggers again. It takes honesty, love, and repetition. It takes trust, evolution, and transcendence. But it does happen. It can happen. It will.
If you're ever feeling stuck or mislead by ANYTHING, repeat this simple two-second ritual over and over again until it becomes automatic like breathing.
You can do this at any time, anywhere. It can be as simple as 123 or you can be more elaborate and add candles, a circle, or an altar.
Monitor your thoughts and emotions over the next three to four days when the Moon is still dark and fertilizing. Take stock of what keeps coming up for purification. Answer any inner promptings or calls that you receive for change. Trust the sacredness of this dark time. There is so much love here when you accept it.
May 2018 New Moon in Taurus: A New Beginning
The May 2018 New Moon occurs on Tuesday, May 15, in native sensual and grounding Taurus.
The Taurus New Moon brings foundation and strength to our personal relationships and romantic life. Are you acting in oneness or separation? Are you willing to compromise and flow through the disruptions of this current lunar cycle together rather than apart? Is your relationship with money healthy or dependent?
ON TUESDAY MAY 15, 2018 THE TAURUS 2018 NEW MOON MOVES US INTO RESET TO ROOT AND REFLECT.
The May 2018 New Moon occurs on Tuesday, May 15, in native sensual and grounding Taurus.
The Taurus New Moon brings foundation and strength to our personal relationships and romantic life. Are you acting in oneness or separation? Are you willing to compromise and flow through the disruptions of this current lunar cycle together rather than apart? Is your relationship with money healthy or dependent?
If you aren't in balance, this Taurus New Moon will "wake" you up. Financial scares and business growth can bring holy bells or gloom. But either way, the experience was the true lesson, what did you learn?
Bust out your planners and your calculators my loves, date night just happened and this time its operation "fancy." Will you splurge on bae at their favorite restaurant? Or will you surprise them with a one night staycation? Either way, sexy time is happening and you will love it.
Although Taurus is a sensual and loving sign, there can be imbalance present as well. Be mindful that you are not over indulging and spending in ways that you don't have the time or the energy, and most importantly, the funds.
This is a time to find new in tradition, find innovative ways to show your love and to gather with your tribe. A movie party or dinner pot luck works for everyone, just make sure to spice up the guest list. Oh, and don't be surprised if that "frenemy" shows up to the party. But there's no need to worry, Bae has made their choice, and so will you, don't engage.
With the Neptune-Jupiter Trine there is support in our overcoming. We are being assisted in our ability to open, express, and give to others what we are seeking in return. This energy is favorable for long lasting marriages, commitments, and lucrative business associations. However, success during this transit requires deep patience, transformation, and trust. Be patient and believe that all will be true. You choose whether you will root or swim.
Love on.
AFFIRMATIONS FOR THIS NEW MOON BASED ON YOUR SUN, RISING, AND MOON SIGN:
I always suggest reading your sun sign first -- this reflects how you outwardly express to others and to Self.
I then suggest reading your moon sign -- this reflects your inner workings and subconscious desires.
Lastly I suggest reading your rising sign -- this reflects the path you will take.
A RITUAL FOR THE NEW MOON
This Taurus New Moon Ritual is called "Rooting."
What you will need for this meditation and ceremony:
your feet
the earth
intention
breathe
love
something to document with
The Meditation:
Begin the meditation by stretching and releasing the tension in your body. Place extra attention on releasing pressure in your head and neck.
Once you feel that your body is more relaxed and pliable, find a comfortable position and begin to tune in with your breathe.
Once you have aligned with your breathe, begin to take slow deep, long, graceful breathes, until you feel called to release. Do this several times for 3-5 minutes.
Once you are into a relaxed meditative state, imagine you are a tree. Imagine your tree has bright colors and each color represents a part of you. Now allow this tree to release upon you. Do not give it any instructions, just follow it, observe, you are not the teacher -- you are the student.
Visualize the roots of the tree. What do they look like? What do they feel like? What are they connected too? What do the colors mean? How does each color make you feel? Does anyone's face come up? What thoughts come when you think about the roots of your tree? Can you identify the source of your roots?
Spend no more than 5 minutes with your tree and then return to your breathe.
Take several deep breathes with the intention to come back peacefully into your conscious body.
When you feel called...Return.
Journal, Paint or Express to Self what you experienced.
The Ceremony:
Once you have completed the meditation, go spend a minimum of 30 minutes connected with Earth. Use this sacred time to reflect on your rooting journey and its messages.
While you are rooting with Earth imagine yourself sending back the love energy that was given to you during meditation.
Once you feel it is time to finish your ceremony, give thanks to the Earth and your tree for their existence.

SOME PLANETARY ASPECTS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
May 15, 2018: Uranus Enters Taurus at 11:16 AM
On Tuesday, May 15, 2018, at 11:16 AM, Uranus, the planet of change, disruption, rebellion, and innovation enters Taurus, the sign of sensuality, security, patience, and renewal. With Uranus shifting into Taurus, expect increased environmentalism, veganism, animal and human rights campaigns, natural disasters, karmic plot twists, financial security or loss, baby making, and debt. Uranus is spontaneous and rebellious. Taurus is methodical and strategic. Together, Uranus and Taurus, create a push-pull 8 year journey that will leave you stretched, resilient, and stable. To get the best of this 8 year life changing transit, allow spontaneity to be your new M.O (still take care of business). Try new things, meet new people, eat odd food, and strengthen your self confidence through community, spiritual practices, and personal relationships.Your mantra for this transit should be: All things are as I am.
Trust the process.
May 16, 2018: Mars Enters Aquarius at 12:55 AM
On Wednesday, May 16, 2018, at 12:55, Mars, planet of action, will, desires, self expression, Enters Aquarius, sign of innovation, intellect, visualization, detachment, and curiosity. With this transit occurring immediately after the Taurus new moon, and the Uranus-Taurus transit, our communication and self expression will be introspective and detached. This dynamic challenges our need to connect and stabilize ourselves within and without.
Be observant more than you speak during this transit. Speak with awareness and intent. Do not find yourself in situations purely for entertainment, lust, or desire. Be certain you have a purpose for what you are doing. If not, get out.
Sexuality and intimate relationships may come to the forefront this week. We tend to seek solitude rather than connectedness. Visualize effortless journeys, completed tasks, soul tribe gatherings, community projects, sweaty sex, and lusty arguments.
May 19, 2018: Venus Enters Cancer at 9:10 AM
On Saturday, May 19, 2018, at 9:10 AM, Venus, planet of love, money, exchange, and values enters Cancer, sign of emotion, purification, balance, dependency, and pleasure. When Venus is in Cancer, we are more sensitive, nurturing, and close knitted with others.
Use this transit to connect with your inner child. Ask your child Self: How do you express your emotion? How do you connect with others? Are you intentionally detached and cold? What does it mean for you to give love? What do you need to feel loved? What hurt feelings do you need to release to heal?
This transit will be an emotional rollercoaster, but you don't have to be miserable. When we open our heart to this energy, we learn the true essence of compassion, and unconditional love.
May 20, 2018: Sun Enters Gemini at 10:15 PM
On Sunday, May 20, 2018, at 10:15 PM, the Sun, planet of identity, self expression, soul's urges, life purpose, and reputation, enters Gemini, sign of polarity, drama, intuition, logical thought, and persuasion. Sun in Gemini people are loving, intense, impersonal, deeply sensitive, and extremely intellectual. With the Sun moving into Gemini, until June 21, when it will then enter Cancer, our outer expressions and inner urges will be driven by our need to understand and gather the facts. During this transit, we are overly talkative and have a deep need to express verbally, which makes gossip a possibility, you should avoid this. Sun in Gemini transits also bring forth all of our hidden desires and wishes. This condition causes us to be slightly scattered and into everything.
Karmic manifestations are also common during this time. Find healthy ways to express your need for drama and excitement. Avoid creating chaos or disruption in your home, work, and personal relationships for stimulation. To counteract this: attend plays, write a song, go to a concert, or take an art class...just whatever you do, stay out of drama.
May 25, 2018: Jupiter Trine Neptune at 5:52 AM
On Friday, May 25, 2018, at 5:52 AM, Jupiter, planet of grace, expansion, inner faith, opportunities, and expression Trines (connects) with Neptune, planet of transcendence, freedom, unification, and higher Self. When these two expansive planets connect energies of heart expansion, a greater humanity emerges. This sacred energy calls us into the most sacred parts of our being, our Highest Self. In this sacred energy, we are called to align with our intuition, and belief. It is common to have experiences with the other side, as clairvoyance, angelic communication, and divine intervention is strengthened. Don't be surprised if synchronicity takes you on a whirlwind ride of "this really happened" syndrome. During Jupiter Trine Neptune transits, nothing is by chance. This increase in synchronicity becomes more and more prevalent as the day goes on. Small chance happenings and meet ups are common, so keep your eyes open. This energy is perfect for group gatherings, and healing sessions focused on collective healing at the global level, and for the Earth.
Its time to share your gift of hope and inspiration with the world. Don't be surprised if divine opportunities miraciously occur with a chance to step brighter into your light. Ask yourself during this transit: how can I be a better service to humanity? To Self? To Earth?
Shine on!
May 29, 2018: Sagittarius Full Moon at 10:19 AM
On Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at 10:19 AM, the Moon, planet of discernment, subconscious mind, inner child, and intuition, enters Sagittarius, sign of adventure, higher education, ambition, restlessness, and travel. With the Sagittarius full moon coming to complete (or bring progress) to what we started during the December 2017 Sagittarius new moon cycle, old projects and teams may be coming to a head or beginning to make successful gains on a venture or mission. With Uranus now in Taurus and Mercury entering Gemini this evening, our communication can be blunt and over dramatic.
The Sagittarius fire energy also brings in skepticism and risk. Things can be confusing during this time so try to remain open to new possibilities.
Use this ambitious full moon to discover innovative ways to expand without going into debt or bankruptcy. Find physical ways to express your fire and pent up energy. This is a great time to reflect on how you are a team player and what value you are bringing as a leader and a participant of the group.
Are you engaged and sincere? Or are you playing devil's advocate and using this opportunity for personal gain? Use this Full Moon as the wake up call you need to go for your dreams.
It's possible.

On Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at 7:49 PM, the same day as the Sagittarius Full Moon, Mercury, planet of technology, communication, process, thought, and creative skill, enters Gemini, sign of sign of polarity, drama, intuition, logical thought, and persuasion. With the Sun in Gemini until June 21, our need to verbally express and communicate is heightened. Gemini's illumination also causes our expressions to be over dramatic, intense, and impulsive. During this time, its best to be compassionate to others increased sensitivity or irritation during conversation and day to day activities.
Mercury in Gemini also rings opportunity through technology and writing. Even if tech and writing isn't your thing you'll be surprised at how technology opens doors for you. Many of us will be brushing up our public appearance through publishing, networking, and social engagements.
This Mercury in Gemini transit also shows up in how we are engaging on social media. Your following may increase or you may decide that its time for a digital break. Either way your relationship with how you "share" is up for review.
