Sagittarius Full Moon June 2 2015 - illuminating limitations & lack of faith.

This full moon is at 11-12 degrees Sagittarius exact at 9:18 am June 2 2015 and is bringing illumination and fulfillment to areas of your life that were seeded with new intentions back on the Sagittarius new moon of Dec 22 2014 which is now full and climaxing. Can you remember what you were thinking and feeling back around that time? It was about understanding and or changing limiting belief systems that keep you from your full potential, while expanding your over all world view and faith in self so you could progress yourself; or accepting some limitations that seem unchangeable. For some people it was also about taking the initiative to learn something new that will help expand your life in some way for a positive and now those intentions and efforts should be flowering for most people if you were consistent with those efforts the entire time. You had the last 6 months to reevaluate your ideas, opinions and beliefs about yourself while also educating yourself, You should be clear on all that by now. The energy and circumstances in your your life are ready to expand, but are you ready for it? And are you prepared to help those around you take the necessary steps up, as well? At the same time this moon will help you understand what is NOT possible.

Full moon's indicate something in our life is out of balance and needs to be brought back into alignment with other things we've been focusing on. All the energy is in Gemini right now putting a lot of energy in thinking, communicating, reevaluating ideas and thoughts of the past that effects the future and taking care of everyday business while staying generally busy, with a lot of scattered energy focused on the mundane. But what about your spirituality and faith; the big picture of your life and the universe? Have you been putting that on the back burner? Perhaps now the universe is sending you tension because it's trying to help you expand your life past your comfort zone in order to bring you more personal fulfillment, yet you might be focused too much on the here and now and not thinking ahead or seeing the bigger potential, or, feeling your limitations. Full moon's can be a peak in tension in relationships as well so that tension will slowly start to release over the next two weeks if you look at what you've been neglecting in your life and make a conscious effort to regain the balance, also accepting what can't be changed. Something in your life is not getting enough attention so this full moon will bring that awareness to you. If you find the houses that rule you Sag and Gemini, this will be where the balance is needed, which is different for everyone.

Over-all this moon is indicating your life is trying to expand which creates tension and stress in order to push you forward. Sagittarius is always about having faith that everything will work out like it should and that there is a higher force watching over you and guiding you. Call it what you want; god, angeles, the creator, spirit, etc, but regardless the universe has your back as everything will work out if you are willing to take a risk and allow your life to expand at this time. Step out, look up and see what's great about your life, and life in general. The more optimistic you are the less stress you will feel.  The more faith you have in yourself and in higher forces the more relaxed you will feel about what you are trying to do.

Things are still a little unsettled as Mercury is retrograde for another couple weeks.  Mercury turns forward June 12-13 but still will take a couple weeks after that before we see solid forward progress on issues we have been thinking about. So this is the time to fully upgrade your confidence and faith in yourself as life wants you to go above and beyond your perceived limitations... or, fully accept your limitations and understand that you just don't have it in you to do certain things. Which is fine, but only you can make that call. As Saturn is in Sag we all have to face what keeps us from expanding in life and sometimes reality and our current responsibilities and commitments can feel harsh keeping us right where we are. It's different for everyone so this full moon will bring full illumination to what you can and can't do. Trust it, accept it and let it be.

Saturn is actually going to move backwards into Scorpio one last time starting on June 14 before returning to Sagittarius on Sep 17 so we all have to face a few more challenges around some of the deeper lessons we have been facing the last few years when it comes to merging with other people and learning the power and control dynamics of our serious relationships and deeper repressed issues that hold us back, including sexuality, change and any repressed fears. We've come a long way the last few years but there still might be a little more to go especially if you have energy in the last few degrees of Scorpio.

Happy full moon folks, Sagittarius moon is generally uplifting, wanting some adventure and play which will relax all the tension building but because Saturn is there too might negate that a little. But still, feel the expansion and find your faith that all is as it should be. Seek out adventure and have some fun.The universe knows much more than you do. Relax and trust what's happening in your life!

Thanks for reading. Much love to you all!

Taurus New Moon May 17 2015

As we enter a new lunar cycle that is always about new beginnings in certain areas of our life it's important to remember that this seeding of intentions to manifestation is actually a six month process from the day of each new moon until that moon is full in the same sign. The full moon two weeks after each new moon is in a different sign related to the new moon six months back. That means we have six new moon's before the first set of intentions is even truly materializing. It can get complicated to keep track easily forgetting what you intended, consciously or otherwise unless you use a new moon journal, which i highly recommend. New moon energy is building and creating for everyone even if they know nothing of astrology. The things you are focused on for the few days around each new moon is related to what you experience in your life around six months later. It's crazy that some people fill themselves with such negative thoughts and feelings those days without knowing the power of that energy at such a critical time in the lunar cycle. Those of us conscious of this creating cycle of nature have tremendous opportunity to manifest what we need and want as long as we do it within the flow of nature and don't try to defy our overall life path. Nature has a process of creation so staying in her flow will really help with giving your intentions more power to materialize. Now with that said, let's talk about this new moon at 26-27 deg Taurus at 9:13 PM PDT on MAY 17

Taurus has a lot to do with values and resources, everything about the physical plane of being human. In this day and age we can call it money and what we need to keep things going! I see this particular new moon/new beginning a little different from the other Taurus new moon's as there is a lot of retrograde planets right now including Mercury almost at dead stop from the earth's perspective preparing to move backwards over the next three weeks in the sign of Gemini. The sun moves into Gemini a couple days after the new moon causing a lineup of planets opposing retrograde Saturn which means this materialistic moon cycle is about taking care of financial matters from the past and anything else hanging over your head keeping you from moving forward in life on the material level but also on an emotional level when it comes to relationships. The power of this energy is best used for sitting intentions on clearing up past responsibilities and even ending past commitments and responsibilities that are outdated so to free you up for the new. Remember, you're only planting the seeds for this now so will take the rest of the year to fully complete the process properly if you want to stay in the flow of nature. The next full moon in Taurus is on Oct 27 2015. Sure if you think you're a bad-ass manifestor that can create whatever you want regardless of time, then don't let me stop you from trying but Taurus is more about a slow steady pace with stamina for the long haul. Also as each planet opposes Saturn there will be a delay or obstacle, some kind of challenge from others, or even mental setback to get past over the next couple weeks. When you face these challenges from others or situations remember that pushing too hard will just make it worse. Slow down, ride out any delays with grace and if you start to think on the negative side of things just know it's because of this energy and will pass shortly, not letting it discourage you from follow through; stay the course but slow down and try not to let your energy become scattered. With Mars in Gemini it's easy to take action on multiple fronts getting nothing done. Also with Mars in Gemini which only happens six weeks out of every two years we see much more aggressive communication, so watch out for war of words if you face opposition from others.

As Mercury changes direction the days around the 18th of May things can get a little screwy especially in the sign of Gemini. Don't buy into all the hype about Mercury retro, the probs mainly show up the days it's changing direction, not entire phase plus it just causes the mind to think deep and maybe want to redo some things or take care of business from the past so it's easy for surface mishaps that's all, because you're not paying attention. People in awareness have no issues with Mercury retro. If you were born with Mercury retro then this phase will be great for you and help you get a lot of stuff taken care of that's been on your to-do-list. It's great for everyone to rethink some things especially everything that's been on your mind and what you've been talking about the last week or so will need to be re -thought out and won't fully move forward until late June. It's best not to made decisions until this phase is over, if you don't have to. Read all fine print and take extra time when signing contracts for the next month. This new moon is more about the past so starting new projects now might not be the best idea until late June. However if you have Mercury retro in birth chart then this might be great time for the new as long as the past is dealt with too.

Venus square the Nodes of the moon which means relationships are at a karmic critical point and something is about to change for the long term with one or more people in your life. Venus is way ahead in the sign of sensitive Cancer where she is creating desires for emotional bonding and nurturing in relationships but that's not the energy of life right now and so it makes for feelings of vulnerability, sensitivity and wanting to retreat from love and communication in order to feel safe and secure unless you can manage to keep the feminine feeling safe by being sensitive in the right moments but not pushing her/you too much or too fast. But relationships are wanting both emotional and material attention so if you can't offer both to the relationship then the feminine in her or you will most likely retreat causing relationship tension this next few weeks. There could be communication problems within relationship as well, as the energy with others turns inward and private.  It becomes difficult to know the true desires of the other person and even yourself, the energy is just too sensitive right now in those regards. Your partner might expect you to just know how they are feelings and what they are needing without having to say it, which creates problems.  In order for some important relationships to move forward something needs to be dealt with from the past perhaps and a decision made about the future but i will warn you now that relationships are heading into some turbulent waters over the next two weeks especially around May 21 - May 26. Expect surprises and changes for good or bad within relationship and money. This will help you understand what you value the most but could be a lot of intensity coming up.

So there you go, my prospective on this moon. Look at your chart and find the cusp of Taurus and Gemini, this is the area of your life that has potential for a fresh start. If you need help figuring that out let me know. You'll need to know your exact time and location of birth for this technique but with that you can tell precisely where the energy is focused in your life for this new beginning that will materialize over the next six months. In general though, it's about values and money along with clearing up the past. It's best to wait until the new moon is exact after 9:13 pm PDT on Sunday and the following couple days before you start your conscious focus on intentions. Then you will be right in the flow of nature. 

Check your Gemini area of life, that's where you will be dealing with the past and rethinking some plans for the future. I send you all many big earth blessings for this new moon.
