Awakening of psychic powers – Extraordinary perception and quickening of action

A new sense of existence emerges by focusing on intuition

In the stage of incubation of a dream and an ideal, acceleration begins the revelation of the dimension of ‘surprise” and adventure of life

Through the acceptance of duality we discover the primal force and we understand the meaning of desire and liberation

Experiencing a sense of “floating” we regain contact with our identity

A new lunar month begins in the sign of Pisces that signifies a new beginning. A new beginning in the last sign of the zodiac can be an oxymoron. While the intention is set for closure, release or withdrawal a “new” picture emerges.

Pisces as a mutable water sign is the quality of water that is cathartic, healing or redeeming. It is the water that has incredible force and cannot be contained.  This New Moon through the emphasis of planets in Pisces and planets in Aries reminds us that we have neglected contact with our soul, and higher creative forces, as well as perhaps our basic need to unwind, and bond with who we are. It highlights that we may have misplaced something important or have become disoriented through our devotion to or preoccupation with something else. It draws us towards the need to synchronise with the metaphysical purpose and dimension of things.
Mutable water can represent the emotion that carries away everything, that encompasses everything, that washes away to reveal or synthesise another view. It speaks about the emotion that goes beyond; that transcends. Sun, Moon and Neptune conjunct stir up realms of the unconscious, perception and feelings we do not normally have access to. Mercury, Chiron and South Node also in Pisces.  Spiritual and creative faculties are energised. The need to dissolve boundaries, surrender, become sensitive to stimuli or impressions,  is a tendency yet also a very crucial part of a process that signifies a theme of closure and release.  Mars conjunct Uranus in Aries could be compared to a dynamic and impactful reactor, a very urgent and sudden liberation of energy, while Venus also in Aries demands that values, unions and attractions be pursued here and now. With an emphasis on the cardinal fire sign, beginnings, desire, instinct, and initiative as well as risk and bold action are part of the picture that calls for hands on approach, quick reflexes and responses.  Continue reading →

Changing our world(s) requires changing ourselves

Reforms – Collectivism – Creative networking

How do we participate and contribute in common causes? How we help others, which causes activate and join us with the group?

Where does the “heart” of society beat? Is speaking and disseminating the truth an effective revolutionary act? How does vision, purpose and the value of handling freedoms become fortified by actions?

Who identifies with our dreams? Friendship, group energy and altruism directs us to the retrieval of hopes.

Collective wounds become shields and illuminate alternate ways for redemption.

A new lunar cycle begins at 08 degrees Aquarius, where in the next 29 days a new intention is energised to do with all those things that bring us closer to our wishes and hopes. The sign of Aquarius reminds us that we can change our reality. It connects us to the notion of altruism, reform, freedom and humanitarian love.

In order to achieve this it transfers its creative expression, and will to the group and collective realm of society.  This lunar cycle assists us in seeking the place and the people who would validate our individuality, support our freedom and it can revitalise self through connections with groups, common causes and new activities.  It is a lunar month that will take us out of our habitual zone, perhaps disrupt our routines, and help us focus on our intention to change, or liberate ourselves from any restrictive forces.  How can we best support our independence? How would others play a part in the changes we hope for? How does friendship impact our lives?   Continue reading →

Healthy transcendence is supported by truthfulness

What disappoints us redefines our expectations and ideals  

The general backdrop:

The New Moon in Sagittarius every year brings our focus and needs to seeking meaning, vision and truthfulness, so that a better understanding can be gained in this process. Sagittarius and its themes is the area of life that is highly activated since 2015 until December 2017, as Saturn travels through the sign, and basically asks us to block out peripheral vision and set boundaries so that we can invest our time and “build” in meaningful ways. When the planet that signifies restriction is in this far reaching sign, the outcome of this transit may point to a restructuring of belief systems, which would be tested through ideological battles, conservatism or a lack of tolerance to the ‘foreign’ element. This may have felt like lack of hope, lack of perspective, even lack of inspiration as Saturn squared Neptune for most of 2015 and especially 2016, but gave an opportunity for a leap of consciousness regarding ideals. The mutable signs represent the end of seasons. This intense celestial activity on this modality via eclipses in the Virgo/Pisces axis and Jupiter/Saturn/Neptune in the mutable signs especially until September 2016, signified the end of an era, that has mostly to do with a need for a collective shift in consciousness. Our mental GPS needs to re-orient itself, and as Jupiter has changed signs since September and entered Libra expansion expressed  through the lens of fairness and equal sharing, brings an opportunity to get an overview and also experience a shift in our alliances and relationships.   Continue reading →

Whether we are dealing with closure, an ending or a deeper connection this new lunar cycle will allow us to become more conscious and sensitised of how this processes connect to the greater plan. Mercury, God Hermes the psychopomp in conjunction with the New Moon gives access to empowering information, and the trine with Neptune in Pisces and the Nodes allows the processing to engage with creative and unconditional surrendering that forms a new synthesis. It is at the moment we pause or reflect, that sensibility heightens, an ideal refuge is found, a magic solution appears, inspiration transpires, and we can visualise how the things we are moving away from can merge with our evolution path.

Moon is in it’s Fall sign and we may come up against all things we cannot control, but it helps us to become aware that any change or re-birth includes an ending. Mars exalted in Capricorn ruler of the New Moon, is prime motivator in investing energy with a sense of timing, realism and in deep awareness of consequence until November 8th. As it enters Aquarius the shift of energy will promote expression through a humanitarian or rebellious filter.

On another level truth and values reciprocate a dialogue that attempts to define and objectify purpose, balance and give and take. (Jupiter and Venus mutually receive each other).

Venus and Saturn have just began their new yearly cycle in Sagittarius and the pressure to process what truthfully sustains or restricts unions must evolve. Our commitments would be tested on the basis of aims or beliefs, and the capacity to integrate a sense of renewal and freedom as the trine to Uranus in Aries will perfect in the crescent Moon phase.
