New Moon in Cancer

Tonight July 23, 2017 the moon becomes new in the sign of Cancer. This is an emotional time and we could be extra sensitive right now. By being aware of Cancer moon sensitivities we can all strive to watch our words, especially those that can wound or hurt. This is a moon in a water sign hence all the rain; the flowers certainly appreciate it! We will seem to be spending more time with family and related functions right now and they will go well and happy. Watch yourself becoming over emotional and melancholy as this too will pass. Also, overeating may take hold (love that macaroni and cheese); with food and drink tasting especially delicious. A very good time to set positive intentions to move our wishes forward. This is a comforting time, enjoy! Remember to breathe!

Strawberry Full Moon

We are experiencing this full Strawberry Moon with great enthusiasm and hopefulness. Sometimes we just have to say "no" in order to keep the peace and not be upset all the time. There is a lot of energy with this moon and we find ourselves very busy with getting ready for summer and ending school year issues. Be wary of being pulled in too many directions. Jupiter has now stationed direct after having been retrograde since February. When Jupiter starts moving forward this week notice how everything just seems to fall in to place and even though we have so much to accomplish, it just seems easier with the positive, good luck planet forward movement. Might be a little of a roller coaster ride but keep your perspective and it may just be fun, don't fall for others drama keeping a smile! Is all good, don't forget to breathe!

Gemini Sun

Let us remember those who gave their lives for our freedoms that we enjoy. With the Sun in Gemini there will be lots of activity and lively conversation. Be careful of two-sided interactions that may not be entirely on track since someone may be saying one thing and thinking another. Will be a really good week meeting new people and moving everything one step or two forward. However, watch those that would take advantage of our good natures. Is all good. Breathe!!

Scorpio Full Moon

The full moon today is in the sign of Scorpio. The sign of secrets and personal energy. Be aware of sudden unexpected change. Such as "didn't see that coming". Many will feel a little under the weather as the moon's energy bears down, pacing yourself is important. With the north node (karma) changing signs today those things we didn't think would happen will take place such as President Trump firing FBI director James Comey or selling the car you didn't think would sell, or a delivery person you've had for years leaving or someone who's been gone coming back (watch out for anything toxic returning). Whew, watch what happens lots of interesting energy, could be fun!! Breathe!

Mercury Direct

Happy May! May 2nd Mercury will finally go direct and the fog we've been experiencing will start to lift. Things will gradually become clearer as the shadow period ends in about 10 days. However, Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter are still retrograde teaching us lessons and holding us back. Remember that Saturn is the "boss" and teacher allowing us to revisit and fix what needs fixing. Think of, for example, the boss having you redo a report because something is missing. Great A-ha moments of what we have forgotten in order to move forward. Pluto is transformation and when retrograde we hardly notice what's going on, for example we may find our favorite restaurant has lost its allure and we will be finding a new favorite. Jupiter retrograde just holds us back keeping us from having the incentive and expansion to move forward, we just have to slog through. If we follow the lessons being shown to us good things will happen and we can adjust beautifully. May is a wonderful month for bright new beginnings. Is all good, don't forget to breathe!

Planet energy

Monday's keep it real-lunar Capricorn vibe makes this the perfect day for burning obsolete bridges, breaking a taboo or two, and working just a bit harder towards bringing more control into your life. Stop feeding any feelings that makes you scared to change what needs to be changed, adds the Sun— work to bring more relief and release into your life. "The key," reminds Stephen Covey and Neptune, "is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." Tell your ego and fears that you're not going to be their slave anymore" (Dennis Fairchild) With all the planetary energy right now this is very relevant, have courage and take time to breathe!

Retrogrades

Saturn turned retrograde today until August 2017. We may find things that have been put in place facing some challenges. The idea during Saturn retrograde is that those challenges we face will make us that much stronger when it goes direct. It is a good thing to study and respond to things that don't serve us anymore carefully no matter how painful - the reward will come when Saturn turns direct and we will have an "a ha" moment showing us what Saturn was trying to teach. However, on top of Saturn retrograde we now have Mercury going retrograde April 9 until May 4th. As with all Mercury retrogrades not a good time to invest in electronics or start new ventures. Communications will go awry, be careful what you post on Social Media. Is a good time to reevaluate, redo and bring things to completion. Jupiter will still be retrograde dampening the whole process. On a light note Venus goes direct April 15, woo hoo! Now redecorating and renewing things will go easier and not so many returns of items we thought we liked but ended up not working out. Oh, and a full Moon April 11 in Libra (relationships, balance) adding to all this intense energy. The best idea is not to get angry quickly and make fast radical decisions. Take your time to look at everything objectively and it will all work out well. Very good time to breathe!!
