Cosmic Correspondence – New Moon in Sagittarius

December 18, 2017 there will be a new moon at 26 degrees of Sagittarius.  This new moon is close to Saturn (which will soon leave Sagittarius and start his transit through Capricorn) and Venus.   It also trines Uranus.

That’s a lot of focus on love and the potential for new and exciting relationships.  Uranus adds a bit of unexpectedness to this. Saturn adds the stability.  So it has the potential to offer the best of both worlds.

New moons are also wonderful times for new beginnings.  I believe that the universe is constantly giving us opportunities for fresh starts. Not just with every new day, but with new moons every month. And of course, the start of a new year.  The first of January, Samhain, or when the Sun enters the sign of Aries.

Sagittarius is a sign of movement. Of doing. Not of contemplation or of stillness. Use that energy to propel forward that which you want to see expand and develop. New love, a new, fresh approach to something in your life, putting behind you what needs to stay in 2017 so you can start 2018 on a clean slate.

Be open to what calls you…

Cosmic Correspondence – Full Moon in Gemini

The last full moon of 2017 is on December 3. A full moon in Gemini.  Full moons are a good time to release and let go.  They represent the culmination of a cycle.  This is a good time to let go of what you don’t want to carry into 2018.  This time of year is naturally a time of reflection – on what has been and on what we hope for and look forward to.  Use this energy to cast off what doesn’t serve you, so you can move into 2018 free of heaviness.

Mercury also goes retrograde today.  Mercury is Gemini’s ruling planet, so there’s a little conflict with this transit. Mercury retrograde always speaks to some conflict. Having said that, given that it is happening along with the last full moon of the year, it’s an even better time to “re” in your life. Review, revise, re-do (what you can, if you can).  This is also a particularly good time to do this because when Mercury goes direct, it will be when Saturn starts his transit through Capricorn.  A new Saturn cycle for all of us.

One simple way to “release” what you want to let go of is to flush it.  Write down on a piece (or several pieces) of toilet paper what you want to “flush away.”  Attitudes, people, things.  Be sure to also write down that you wish them well – you don’t want any bad energy flowing.  The idea is to release with love and in peace.  Examples can be an old relationship or person you need to be freed from, literal weigh you want to lose (5 pounds, etc), feelings of lack or fear or worries (worrying about money or not having enough)…flush it away.  Let it go. This is an easy release technique you can use at any time. For anything. But it’s particularly useful during full moons.

You have to release and let go of all that weight in order to freely move forward. If it drags you down, if it doesn’t serve your higher good, if it brings you worry and frustration and a lack of peace…let it go.

Mercury Retrograde and Full Moon In Gemini

They’re both happening on the same day – December 3. This is the last full moon of 2017. The next one will be on January 1, 2018.

There are a lot of planets in fire right now. So this moon may come with a little excitement – however that excitement resonates with you.

It also involves Neptune in Pisces – so there’s a little “haze” with this full moon. Aquarius is also involved. Me versus we – Aquarius tends to be very community oriented.

Mercury will also go retrograde until about December 22. So this is not an ideal time to buy expensive things or tech things (not the most ideal time for all this with the holidays around the corner). Expect messages and communication to be affected. And delays all around.

This is a good time to “re.” Review, revise, renew, re-do if you can. Certain people from your past may also resurface.

So some potentially tense and/or exciting days up ahead as we build towards the full moon. Gemini and Sagittarius (where the sun is) can be a fun pairing. Just be careful with all that energy.

Addition to Stellium in Scorpio….

I forgot to mention this in my other post about the new moon…Jupiter is also in the sign of Scorpio right now. His transit will last until November 2018.  Jupiter is the planet of expansion and growth, good luck and good fortune and gifts. Any area (sign or placement) Jupiter is in, expect that area to grow.

Having now said that, you can see why the area of relationship may be a focus for this new moon. Jupiter expands and brings growth and luck to something, and it’s in the sign of Scorpio right now. Along with Venus.  And the sun and the moon.

Truly, the focal point will be our relationships with others.  Romantic or otherwise.

New Moon in Scorpio, Stellium in Scorpio – Intensity all around

On November 18, 2017 there will be a new moon in the super intense water sign of Scorpio.   New moons are generally viewed as times to start new things. They signify fresh beginnings.  Scorpio is (hands down) the most intense sign of the zodiac.  In virtually everything they do, Scorpio people have a plan and a directive. The idea of “let’s just see what happens, let’s just see where this goes,” is not anything a Scorpio would say.

Highly intuitive, secretive, seductive, not afraid of all things dark and mysterious.   They are about depth,  and getting to what is real. They are the best person to have in your corner when you need them. The worst person you wish you never knew if you slight them or make them angry.

This new moon isn’t the only activity taking place in Scorpio. We also have the sun in Scorpio right now, as well as Venus. When you have a lot of planets in one house of a chart or in one sign, it’s considered a stellium.  Given that we have all this energy in Scorpio, today (as well as a few days before and after) are probably going to be a bit intense. At least in one area of your life.  More so if you are a Scorpio or a water sign or have a lot of Scorpio or water in your chart. Fixed signs may also be affected more (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius).

One area that you  may feel this most is in the area of relationship.  Because the sun, the moon and Venus (planet of relationships and love and luxury) are there. If you want new love in your life, today may be a good time to do some manifestation work. Visualize the ideal person, and feel how wonderful they make you feel.  Whatever that means for you: safety, security, passion, friendship, companionship, fun and laughter…the list can go on and on.  If you are already in a committed relationship, this is a good time to hit the “reset” button.  If a certain aspect or area of your relationship has gone a little stale, use this energy to infuse some momentum.

I pulled a tarot card for the energy of this new moon and The High Priestess presented.   She’s my one of my favorite cards in the deck. She is an oracle – people seek her for her insight, her wisdom, her knowledge. She’s intuitive, and divinely guided.  She can also be secretive and mysterious.  This card presented upright, which is good.  Reversed, it can suggest something hidden or a secret being kept.

As a Scorpio rising, I’m looking forward to the energy of this new moon, and the doors that are soon going to open because of it.

Feng Shui Love – Full Moon in Taurus

These two things do go together, I promise.  I was going to write just on ways to decorate your feng shui love corner/section in your house or bedroom. And then I realized we have a full moon coming up on November 4 in the sign of Taurus.  The earth sign of Taurus is ruled by Venus, which is all about love and romance and luxury and money.   So now would be a good time to focus on your love corner/section of your house or bedroom.  Feng shui is an easy (and fun) way to usher in the energy you want to the areas of your life that you are looking to expand.

I have some rose quartz crystals (one in the shape of a heart), a garnet, a large red glass heart, and I always have a small vase with flowers there.  I’ll burn some incense there at times, too. November 4 would be an ideal time to do that.  This full moon is focused around value. What we value in a general sense in our lives. With our possessions or things, but also within our relationships. Not just with other people, but with ourselves.  And of course, relationships are highlighted because Venus is the ruler of Taurus (and Libra as well).

All full moons are about a culmination of a cycle.  So the ending of a cycle.  It’s a good time to release and to let go of things (people, ideas, habits) that are no longer serving you.  It’s also a good time to give thanks for all that you have.  Generally speaking, I think moon cycles are just a good time to focus on what that particular moon is trying to get us to pay attention to. In this case, value.  And the value we place on relationships, on the people we are in relationship with (any type of relationship), and with ourselves.

If nothing else, try to go outside and just whisper a few words of thanks.  Thank you for all that I have and all that is with me, and thank you for all the wonderful things that are on their way to me that I don’t even know about…

Samhain Altar

Halloween (Samhain, if you follow the Wheel of the Year) is approaching.  This day corresponds to The Day of the Dead and All Soul’s Day.  The veil between this world and the spirit world grows thinner and thinner as October 31 approaches.  Spirit phenomena is likely to be experienced the closer we get to the end of the month.  This doesn’t necessarily mean “seeing ghosts,” either.  Strange coincidences that may involve a friend of family member who has passed is a good example. You’re thinking about your friend who died in a car accident while driving, and their favorite flower was a daisy. And all of a sudden you realize the car in front of you has a license plate that says DAISY.

It’s also a nice time to set up a little altar for your loved ones and ancestors who have passed on.  Be creative, this is your altar, you can design it any way you want to.  I used some pine cones and leaves from outside (for a natural element). If I find any acorns, I’ll add those, too.  I’ll also add some crystals as we get closer to October 31.  A candle.  And the skull is a little box with a lid. I write down the names of friends and family who have passed that I want to remember and fold it and put it inside.  A lot of people will put up pictures of their loved ones.   And offer treats – a loved one’s favorite candy or cake, for example.

Light the candle on October 31 and welcome your departed in.  It’s not a scary time of the year, but a reverent one.  A time of remembrance.  And there is never an inappropriate time for gratitude or reverence.

Cosmic Correspondence – New Moon in Libra, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Libra

What an interesting mix of energy.  The charm and grace of Libra and the depth and intensity of Scorpio.   There’s a New Moon in Libra on October 19.  I like new moons – probably more than full moons, even if we can’t “see” them in the sky the same way. I like new beginnings. I like the fact that every month the universe gives us this opportunity to focus on some area of our lives and we get a chance to re-set.   With the new moon (new starts, beginnings, time to set an intention), in the partnership oriented sign of Libra, it’s a good time to focus on your relationships. Romantic relationships, but any kind of relationship.   It’s also a good time to start a new relationship.  This new moon opposes Uranus in Aries. So there’s this element of risk. Or something unpredictable. That’s not always a bad thing, so try to welcome anything that’s a little out of your comfort zone.

Mercury is going into Scorpio.  Jupiter went into Scorpio on October 10/11.  With Mercury here, we can expect conversations to turn deep. And possibly to things that are hidden. That could be communication coming out about yourself that was hidden, or other people.   It’s conversation we don’t normally hear about.  Deep, dark secrets, secret desires, hidden parts of ourselves.

Venus is in Libra and this is all about love.  And grace and beauty and fairness and balance. Venus rules Libra so she’s at home here.  And it really does suggest love and romance.  Especially on October 19, with the new moon in Libra.

New moons are a good time to start things as I mentioned above.  So if you’re hoping for a new relationship, put that wish and intention out there for the universe to bring somebody to you. If you’re already in a relationship but it needs a refresh, October 19 is a good time to take steps to bring in that new energy.  It’s an ideal time for love and romance and balance.

Jupiter in Scorpio – Expanding the Intensity

From October 10, 2017 until about November 8, 2018, Jupiter will be transiting the intense water sign of Scorpio.  Jupiter just left Libra where we learned balance and fairness and now delves into the depths as he begins his 13 month trip through Scorpio.

Scorpio is ruled by Pluto – so it’s all about death and rebirth. The phoenix rising from the ashes.  And Scorpio is intense. There’s no way around it.  If you are a Scorpio sun, moon or rising, this will be an expansive 13 months ahead for you.  Likewise, if you have a lot of Scorpio in your chart or a lot of water in your chart, this can be beneficial.

Jupiter is the opposite of Saturn.  Jupiter is about gifts, growth, expansion, good fortune and good luck.  The “Santa Claus” of the planets.  So when he’s transiting your sign, you can expect good fortune. I sometimes refer to this transit as a “13 month cosmic goodie bag.”

But all of us are going to be experiencing this in some way. Scorpio is about all things dark and mysterious, the occult, sex, shadow. Scorpio is magnetic and powerful and driven and intense. We may see a spotlight shown on these areas in a global (collective consciousness) way. As well as in our own personal lives.

I have Scorpio as my ascendant, so I’m looking forward to this transit.  It promises to be deep and delicious.

Cosmic Correspondence – Sun and Jupiter and Mercury

The sun is in Libra.  Ahhhh…..Libra. The sign of justice and fairness (the corresponding major arcana tarot card is Justice), grace and beauty. Witty conversation and social butterflies. And also partnership and marriage, because Libra rules the seventh house.

Mercury will move into Libra later this week, too.  Diplomacy in conversation.  A sense of  talking to “work things out.”  And an overall sense of kindness.   The drawback to this may be that Libra can sometimes have a hard time making decisions. So this back-and-forth to things.  What if this, and what if that.

Jupiter is in Libra right now and this week there’s a lovely dance between Jupiter and Uranus. Romantic relationships may experience some sort of beautiful surprise.  Coming up in the next two weeks, Jupiter will leave Libra and begin his thirteen month transit in Scorpio.  So things (for all of us) may take a “deep and dark” quality.  Scorpio is the most intense sign of the zodiac, hands down. And when Jupiter (the planet of expansion and growth and development and gifts) transits the most intense sign….get ready for a spotlight to be on all things, well….deep and dark.  Death and rebirth (Pluto rules Scorpio), the occult, secrets, things hidden, sex, anything intense.

Speaking of Pluto…he goes direct this week, too.  He’s been retrograde and now will start to move forward again. So things that we have thought about changing we will now feel compelled to change.

I love this time of the year.  There’s a shift in the air that you can actually feel. Time to welcome that into your life.

Be open to what calls you…
