Neptune Retrogrades In Pisces

Every planet goes retrograde (backwards in its path) at some point. We are all too familiar with Mercury retrogrades, and although each planet has a different effect on us when they retrograde, the planets closest to us, like Mercury and Venus are felt a bit more than the planets that are further away from the Earth, like Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune. Although the effects of these planets are less than what we would experience from our neighbouring planets, don't be fooled in thinking the effects won't be felt at all.

Today Neptune has gone retrograde. Neptune, the "dreamy" planet of idealism and imagination, along with illusions and confusion, is the ruler of Pisces, a water sign (emotions & intuition), and rules the 12th astrological house of the subconscious and deeper emotions.

Neptune is a planet that sometimes encourages us to live a life of denial. It lends the energy that can encourage us to make excuses, and will support us to live in a world of daydreams and illusions. It also encourages us to continue ignoring dark truths that we really should be confronting head on. When Neptune goes backwards (retrograde), it can feel like we've had a bucket of cold water thrown at our faces, forcing you into the uncomfortable situations that you need to be in — all in the name of growth.

From now, and for the next 5 months until the retrograde ends, we will all feel the overall effects of this transit. Some of the feelings you can expect to face will be uncomfortable to say the least, but very imperative for your growth.

A Big Wake-Up Call Is About To Happen...

You're going to be faced with some truths and realities that you've been trying hard to ignore. Because Neptune's dreamy energy allows us to quickly pass over unpleasant truths, its move backwards gives us the opposite effect: a harsh wake-up call. Try not to react initially to this news, and instead allow time for it to be absorbed and contemplated over before getting too emotional over it.

Some Serious Self-Reflection Is About To Take Place...

Neptune is a planet of spirituality and provides a great energy and opportunity for both personal and spiritual growth. This retrograde provides the perfect time and energy to go inward to discover your true wants, needs and desires. You will be able to identify the areas of yourself that requires a bit more attention and work, by figuring out what in life is working FOR you, or AGAINST you. Neptune in retrograde offers a strength in ridding bad behaviours; whether it be putting a stop to self-sabotaging tendencies, or ridding one's self of an addiction. Addictions begin primarily due to the want and desire to escape reality, so this retrograde lends the power to step out of escapism.

Spiritual Growth Is On The Agenda...

Neptune retrograde is also super helpful when it comes to spiritual growth. This growth stems from a foundation of confusion at first, as you contemplate what it is you actually believe in. Even those who stand firm in their beliefs will find themselves second guessing their understanding of spirituality and how it's a part of their lives. This is a great time to come to terms with your spirituality and to get a better understanding of it. You will have new ideas or understandings around your spirituality, which can cause inner-conflict and confusion. Be patient with yourself during this time and process. When Neptune goes direct, clarity soon follows, and we may receive a new understanding that we will then have to integrate within ourselves in order to move forward.

You're Going To Have Some Pretty Profound Ah-Ha Moments...

With this Neptune retrograde forcing us to acknowledge things we've been trying really hard to ignore, you'll also be having some important revelations, or ah-ha moments. Neptune’s "dark side" is actually a blessing in disguise, as it uncovers the harsh realities of what we've been avoiding. Be forewarned that these ah-ha moments might be painful to acknowledge and absorb, but it's super important to face these issues head on. You'll be pushed out of your dream world to face reality and get real with yourself. Endings of bad relationships, jobs, and anything else that makes you unhappy, is highly likely during Neptune's retrograde as it gives you the swift kick in the butt you need in order to make the changes necessary that you might regularly just try to ignore. Neptune in retrograde gives you the push you need to leave the negative behind.

You'll Have The Energy And Motivation To Take Action...

Even in an uncomfortable state of acknowledging things you've tried so hard to ignore and keep hidden, you will also have the energy and motivation to make long lasting changes to your life. Neptune retrograde is pushing you to confront your darkest truths and step out of your dream world. It's also going to lend you the energy to push you to get things done. You're likely to feel motivated and inspired to walk away from the things that no longer work for you, and encourage you to try something new. Pay attention to your dreams during this time, and don't be surprised when certain pieces of your dreams enter your reality.

You'll Feel Better Prepared In Planning For The Future...

One of the best, most positive things about Neptune retrograde, is that it pushes you to make real, solid plans for your future. Between the spiritual growth, the ah-ha moments, and the motivational energy to take action, you really do have all the help you need to make important goals for your life that really are going to be good for you in the end. Neptune in retrograde will definitely show you how to start actually working towards the life you envision.

You'll Have A Strong Sense Of Understanding... 

For many of us, we will gain a greater perspective of ourselves and the relationships we have. We will begin to see the truth of issues that have been weighing us down, and consuming our thoughts since a significant event took place in our lives last six months. We are all going to experience a heightened sense of intuition during this retrograde, and with it, we will be able to receive a lot more information than usual. Trust yourself and the thoughts and feelings that arise during this time, as you will be more in touch with truth now, then ever before. Be patient with yourself as you experience the growing pains that accompany a new shift in perspective, and receiving the new information being thrown your way. Take the time to absorb the knowledge, and process it accordingly before you make any rash decisions or take action on a new path forward.

It's important for all of us to spend a bit more quiet time inward, as this energy can help you reconnect with your higher sense of purpose and inner values. It's a great time to revisit that five-year plan you drew up at the start of this year. If you feel like you've lost track of your long-term goals recently, lean into this energy as it will help you gain perspective on what it is you actually want for yourself.

It's up to you to decide whether you go with the flow or whether you want to be dragged through these times of change.

New Moon In Cancer/Solar Eclipse

Today our New Moon in Cancer takes place also acting as our 2nd eclipse (of a series of 3) activating the solar eclipse energy. The portal of acceleration opened up a few weeks ago with our first Full Moon lunar eclipse in Sagittarius on June 5th. We are at the half way point of the eclipse gateway which will conclude after the full moon lunar eclipse in Capricorn on July 5th. It is very rare to have 3 eclipses taking place like this in a back to back fashion, but seeing as 2020 really is the weirdest year we’ve experienced in a long time, this cosmic rarity really shouldn’t be all that surprising at this point. This portal is a time when the earth, and everyone on it, receives huge amounts of energetic light rays that appear to speed up the events and timelines of our life lessons.

A solar eclipse has the ability to gift us with something that we were already set to receive in our life. It's as if the Universe is tired with how long it is taking us to align ourselves with where we need to be, and who we need to be with. The Universe speeds up our timelines, creating a series of events that we essentially zoom through in order to be in a better position for the physical changes we can expect to see in the second half of this year. These are not wildcard events, these are elements which were already written into our path, we've just been taking our sweet @ss time in making them happen.

Because this is happening with the New Moon in Cancer, it makes what would have already been a new energy cycle being initiated surround the home, the family dynamic, the mother wound, and the way we care for ourself, even that much more amplified.

Cancer energy represents the Moon, the magic within the feminine divine. We are essentially healing the generational wounds of our ancestors, by acknowledging and mending the trauma wounds that have been passed down in our families.

Having a solar eclipse with the new moon in Cancer is like having a new moon on steroids. It brings the classic energy of starting a new emotional cycle as the moon brings back her light to shine over the world.

This tidal wave of energy has been felt over the last couple of days, creating an emotional shitshow in even the most stable of people. As the moon was in her dark phase building up to her moment to shine once again, we were left to sit in the darkness with our shadow selves. The emergence of the moons illumination now moving into her new phase will take away all of what surfaced within us, clearing us for a new energy cycle to work with. We are processing our emotions at an accelerated rate within this tidal wave of energy, leaving the old structures of our emotions behind.

This cosmic event hits really close to home. It washes over our heart space and shows us where we need to have more compassion for ourselves, and where we need to work on providing ourselves a sense of inner security. This energy will infuse us with an inner strength to master our emotions, and recognize that external events cannot sway us from the faith, strength, and belief we have within ourselves.

We are entering into a new phase of life, where we get to choose our emotions, our response to external triggers, and essentially to the emotional experience itself. This is a time for us to emerge out of the darkness of both the Sun and the Moon recognizing that we need to consciously choose to see and experience love in all we do. If nothing else, let the take away from this karmic event be that you must stop looking for anything less than love, in all that you experience.

Welcome To Cancer Season & The Summer Solstice

Today marks the Summer Solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere, when we experience the longest day of the year, and the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.

Here, in the Northern Hemisphere, the Solstice represents the peak of the year and the point of highest energy. We have had a pretty tough first part of the year, and luckily for us, even being in the intense eclipse and retrograde season, the second half of this year will be more about cleaning up the mess the first part of the year created. Make no mistake though, we still have lots to learn and many shifts to endure.

The Summer Solstice is a time of light, masculinity and outward expansion. We can expect the power of the Sun to light up and illuminate everything that now needs our focus and attention.

The Southern Hemisphere is experiencing the lowest point of energy for the year. The Winter Solstice for them, is a time of darkness, femininity, and inward expansion. Southern Hemisphere natives will find themselves in a reflective state as they are in the season of death preparing for rebirth.

Regardless of where you are at in the world, you can feel the energy of the changing seasons by observing Mother Nature. Her energy in the North provides sunny days, warmer weather, with bright blue skies and rich greenery all around. The wildlife is alive, growing, and singing their songs of a new solar season. In the South, the days are dark, cold, and dreary. The colors of the sky and land are grey. There are no birds singing and chirping, as the season calls for rest.

Even though there are differences in the energy of the Solstice, the planetary or cosmic energy is the same no matter where you live.

There are beautiful patterns among the stars as they set us up to experience  lessons in a way that allows the energy to build and become clearer and stronger as the planetary alignments take place. The Solstice lends us the energy to see the things we need to focus on in a brand new light, as the Sun reaches the peak in the sky.

The Sun moves into Cancer today triggering the Solstice, which lends us a softer energy to work with as we face these new issues and themes as they arise in the light of the Sun. The Sun in Cancer will have you focusing more on your family and your home life. This gentle water sign will have you feeling a bit more sentimental than usual, and calls your attention to the home and what part of you, and others, need to be more nurtured.

The cosmic energy around the Solstice and taking place smack dab in eclipse season, holds an intense energy, almost like the heavens are beaming down on us and lighting up areas of our lives that are screaming for attention.

We are all going to be called upon to step into our fullest potential and begin aligning with our purpose and our highest path. Up until this point in the year, we were being asked to question our reality, what we wanted to see change and have the end result of our vision come into real life. The second half of the year, from today onward, will be taking action to make the changes necessary to have you living your dream by the time 2020 comes to an end.

Use this Solstice energy to make a final edit, and review the final changes to your vision. This is the final draft. You will have the opportunity to release the themes and issues that need to be let go of before your vision can come into reality. Make sure the blueprint you have for your life is solid. Take the time to think about the small details and make changes accordingly. A lot can happen in 6 months, and whether you believe it or not, you will be living a better version of the life you're currently living, if not a totally new version of life altogether, by the end of this year.

It is time to build bigger dreams, have higher ambitions, and to find more and more joy. In fact, if you don’t know where to start with all of this energy, start by following your joy and the rest will fall into place.

Life is strange sometimes, but remember that aside from all the lessons and growth, we are here to have fun. Focus on using the cosmic energy of the Solstice to bring in as much joy into your life as you can. Set a foundation of happiness to grow on, because we are about to start building our dreams with much more passion and determination than you ever thought you had inside you.

Mercury Retrogrades In Cancer

Today, the planet of information, communication, and expression goes retrograde joining the other major heavy hitting planets already in retrograde. Mercury when retrograde, usually slows down our mental processes making the way we see things, and how we interpret information a bit cloudy and skewed.

Mercury retrogrades have the tendency to take us back in the past, to revisit some topics and themes that require attention and a new closure, and to reassess our plans before moving forward.

Now with Mercury retrograding in Cancer, we will be feeling a bit more sensitive and nostalgic than normal. The family dramatics will resurface, rearranging the family dynamic and reconstructing the boundaries we have in place to protect ourselves, but with Mercury now retrograde in Cancer, the emotional, and sensitive reactions will overtake what has been heated and fiery.

We are still in a time of reassessment of our plans, re-evaluating what isn't working and what needs to be tweaked, but under the Gemini energy, we are still very divided in our own thoughts and feelings. Mercury retrograding in Cancer gives us the opportunity to apply our intuition to what it is we are reviewing. Our softer sentiments can smooth the edges of what was a very fiery, hot topic, and help us to truly connect our emotions to these situations instead of allowing our ego & pride get in the way.

Because of the recent eclipse energies still stirring within us, this energy influence from Mercury retrograding in Cancer will allow the download, the shift in energy, to be a bit more calm and peaceful. We still have some integrating to do, and the emotional emergence of Mercury moving backwards in Cancer will provide a closure to many topics and themes that were triggered last summer when Mercury retrograded in Cancer and brought up all kinds of feels around the mother figure, the feminine divine energy, our homes and living arrangements, and where we need to enforce boundaries to help protect our emotions.

With 5 planets in a retrograde, (and in eclipse season) we are looking to sort out some past karma before moving forward with new chapters and timelines. Allow Mercury’s retrograde to show you where your generational wounds need to be healed, where your relationships with the mother or feminine divine energy needs more attention, and where your values have changed in the home and the relationships in it.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius

Today’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius is a turning point in the collective consciousness. Full Moons are typically about endings and release of cycles. A lunar eclipse is a highly charged karmic event that has a tendency to fast forward us through timelines and help us overcome blocks from our past. The Sagittarian energy is a fire energy. It’s the great philosopher of the zodiac. It is our spiritual warrior, one who honours truth, one who tries to unify, one who has a greater vision for the future.

This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse event is the first moon event we are experiencing since the true nodes (which indicate our future destiny based off of our past life lessons) moved from the Capricorn/Cancer axis to the Gemini/Sagittarius axis. For the past 2 years, we have been tested with situations to help us find our middle ground between the roles and responsibilities between our work and home life, while this new Gemini/Sagittarius story is about learning, education, communication, with a larger group, the greater grander collective.

As with any moon event, the days leading up to it are pretty dark, littered with dark emotions and thoughts. It is divinely constructed to have these dark parts surface to be illuminated and given a new life under the light. This week has been a crazy one on the global stage, all divinely scripted to trigger the darkest parts of the collective to be felt and acknowledged.

The purpose of the dark is to give the light an opportunity to overcome, to turn pain into power, and to elevate the vibration and consciousness of everyone on the planet. The dark can only exist because there is light, and it is only love and light that can force the dark out of hiding.

This full moon lunar eclipse in Sagittarius is where our spiritual warrior comes out to play. Where we suddenly receive clarity on how to write the wrongs of our past, and how we can bridge the gap of misunderstandings to stand together and create a new earth.

With the moon in sagittarius and the sun still rooted in Gemini, we are clearly seeing the divide. We are swamped with information but lacking great wisdom. We are conflicted and divided on every topic that comes up within us and all of this energy is being manifested through the man-made division of humanity through race wars, politics, inequality of all kinds.

What happens on earth is a direct manifestation of the cosmic war going on in the Universe. This is a spiritual war between light and dark; good and evil. And this particular moon event - laced with eclipse energy - will give the collective an opportunity to write the wrongs of our past doings and with the understanding that we are all one, will unify in spirit to transcend past the man-made divides to heal the wounds of many.

This year is the great awakening and we still have a few pretty important markers to experience before we can get to work rebuilding and reorganizing the systems and structures that are currently crumbling to the ground. Your higher self chose to be alive during this time. We all have a part to play in raising the collective vibration into a higher frequency where we unify together and help humanity shift out of the darkness and into the light.

Today, let your spiritual warrior loose. Let yourself stand firm in all of your power and all of your truth. Focus on the light, the love, the new earth we want to create. Do not let your passion to defend turn into anger. Do not let your love turn into hate for the opposition. Do not let the darkness win. Today, stand in your light and harness every ounce of love you hold in your heart, for great changes will be played out on earth as we win the war of light above.

It’s time to put all of your knowledge and learning to good use Aries. You will see huge opportunities to extend your teachings to others as your past learning is greatly needed by those looking for direction. You may have to struggle to balance your work life with your home life as some of the family drama that you faced last year may resurface again. You have expanded your mind so much that revisiting these issues will allow you a greater perspective on how to heal the trauma within the home and the relationships in it. You might find reality slapping you in the face where your dreams are concerned. We got a bit too over zealous creating the visions we’ve been working so hard to manifest. We need to come back down to reality and think logically and practically about what we can actually accomplish. You’ll be feeling a bit freer towards the end of the month to make some moves in your relationships and in your money matters that have consumed your mind for the past month. We have thoroughly sorted through our values and now we are given an opportunity to make some changes and get up to speed with all of the things we’ve been thinking about. You’ll have many opportunities to step into the limelight and really shine.

There’s a shift taking place inside you helping you to re-evaluate what is important to you, creating a desire to be a bit more adventurous. You are recognizing parts of yourself that you no longer identify with, and working very hard to leave those parts behind. Be cautious of your interactions this month especially where your female family members are concerned. You may have to have some tough conversations that will require you to communicate your feelings in a brand new way. The new goals and ambitions you are considering are creating a bit of excitement for you to look forward to. The changes in your perspective around your relationships and your money matters will lead you to initiating some new connections in your life. Seeing the value in the people you share yourself with and in the things you spend money on will help put into perspective what it is you are working towards. You might find a bit of anger and frustration bubble up towards the end of the month as you feel held back from going after what it is you desire. Use your emotions as a key to new paths and ideas you should be initiating. You are entering into a learning chapter where the past lessons you’ve learned will test you to see how much you’ve actually integrated into your wisdom and knowledge.

CANCER

As you finish out your dark season and really sit in the heaviness of your emotions before starting a new natal year on your birthday, you will find much comfort by creating new routines within your day. Your health & wellness is of great importance and giving yourself time to strengthen your mind, body, and soul will prepare you for the new beginnings your new natal year will bring. You will re-emerge as your best self. You’ve done a lot of work to surrender to the dark parts of self that you no longer feel aligned with. Purging this darkness will help you to shine even brighter as you awaken to your next adventure. The curiosity you have to learn and experience new things will push you out of your comfort zone and onto a path of self-development. You may find yourself disconnecting and being frustrated by the roles and responsibilities you have in your career as you feel pulled in other directions. Pay very close attention to who you are spending time with and the new people who enter your realm, as there is a high probability for new soul contracts to be initiated.

CAPRICORN

You have a lot of karmic events playing out for you this month Capricorn, and it all starts with your mental health. The shift in your perspective has been a great one, opening you up to new opportunities to truly align your gifts and talents with the kind of lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of. You may have a bump in the road mid-month as some family drama - especially with the mother or other female relationships you have - come to a boiling point. Tough conversations will be had in order to speak your truth and clear the air. Your home and comfort zone may be disrupted as you rearrange some elements of your life that you no longer feel in alignment with. Just when you were feeling good about your daily routine, things will be changing again. This time you will need to focus more on the energy you spend on certain tasks in your day, and where you can step up to be of service to others. You will likely see a lot of changes take place in your home that may have you rethinking what makes you feel safe and secure. All of these changes will force you to take a good look at your attachments especially where you career and the identity you have to your job title is concerned.

AQUARIUS

You are being asked to give some serious thoughts about your future goals and vision Aquarius. Things got dark and disruptive and now you have a different path unfolding in front of you. You will have to revisit the past in order to figure out what you still find to be of value. Your day to day life has seen huge changes and a new routine is definitely needed. You’ve been putting your own health and wellness on the back burner to make others feel like there are no problems, but the truth will be slapping you in the face pretty hard this month especially if you’re choosing to ignore it. It’s time to get real about your life. Your reality, not the illusion of your life you’ve created. Get serious about your own worth and value and from there figure out your long term plan on which path you are about to embark on. You will be fast forwarding through some karma this month which will have you moving on in new ways to find your passion and what actually makes you happy. You’ll have to dig deep to find the strength and determination required for you to take the lead on creating a new path for yourself, one that is more fulfilling to your soul’s goals and responsibilities.

PISCES

Your career is full speed ahead Pisces but make sure you don’t burn yourself out. You will be so far in the depths of your roles and responsibilities that the Universe will force you to find new joy and happiness outside of your working routine. Your passion and love for what you do in life needs to be re-evaluated so you have enough time and energy to do fun things that make you laugh. It’s time to take a good look in the mirror and see the person you’ve created. You may just find you’ve outgrown your storyline and that will lead to a great change. You will have some family drama arise that will ask for your attention and get you to refocus on your relationships. As much as you want to run away from those tough conversations, they aren’t going anywheres and they need you to address them to close the door on them for good. There are a lot of changes coming your way towards the end of the month where love and money is concerned. The new energy of determination you have will be the fuel that lights your fire on going after new goals and maybe even make some new connections to people that are entering your realm to initiate new soul contracts for you to experience.

Mercury Enters Cancer

Today, the Messenger of the Gods, Mercury, moves from his place of power and strength in Gemini, to the deep emotional and intuitive, family oriented sign of Cancer.

Mercury, although not at his strongest self here in Cancer, plays a very important role of communicating our deep seated emotions involving the family dynamic, with a clarity and intelligence that has us expressing ourselves from an emotionally intense stand point.

Mercury’s logic and practicality get slightly blurred during his time in Cancer, but once an emotion is triggered, he does use his power to make us contemplate and process the emotion fully, before we express our thoughts and feelings to others.

Because Mercury rules the mental plane, and Cancer rules our heart space, you will see a beautiful dance between the two, meeting in the middle where the throat chakra is located. This is a time of heightened sensitivity and awareness, and will have us connecting the dots, unpacking our pain, and speaking our truth with such clarity and ease that we won’t even believe how fluid our conversations and interactions with others will be.

Don’t be fooled though, we are talking about some very intense emotions here. These are the conversations that we’ve been avoiding and that we’d rather not have. But because the goal of this energy is to give us emotional and intuitive insight, blended with the intellectual insight we are piecing together in the mental plane, we really will have a totally different perspective on our home and family dynamic. We are emotionally charged and intellectually centered.

This, although a time where domestic disputes could be on the rise, we also have an opportunity for a huge emotional clearing as we put closure to some long term family issues and traumas. The role of Mother could be triggered for many people as Cancer rules the Mother figure and the role of family nurturer.

It’s also going to be a time where we stand up for ourselves and let others know what we need to feel safe, secure and supported. This is about nurturing ourselves as easily as we nurture others.

Use this energy to clear the air on any family drama, any topics surrounding what it is you need from your loved ones, and a time to heal some emotional Mother wounds.

New Moon In Gemini

Today, the Lunar Goddess Herself reveals a new cycle of ideas, expression, and learning as she enters into the airy realm of Gemini. Any New Moon is an invitation to initiate and begin new ideas, projects, adopt new ways of thinking, and attract new relationships. It’s a great time to set out some new goals for yourself.

The changes that need to be made in your life will always usually reveal themselves the week before a New Moon, so pay attention to the negative aspects that take places prior to a New Moon to see what you need to change. From there you can adopt a new routine, style, thought pattern, etc.

Using the energetic influence of the sign the New Moon takes place in, you can see what kinds of activities are most favourable to focus on and harness the elemental energies at play. The New Moon in Gemini, favours communication and expression in all forms. It rules over the way we process information, solve problems with out-of-the-box thinking, and how we interact with others. Because the Moon represents our emotional state, we will find much emotional comfort and security out of the energies in which Gemini rules over.

It’s a great time to speak your truth, whether verbally or in written word. It’s important to express yourself using words, or other art mediums to translate yourself in a different form. It’s important to read up on a new subject or invest in a new area of interest. Gemini is like a sponge, soaking in information and stimulating the mind.

Our inner narrative will see an overhaul as we are receiving information of ideas, perspective, and seeing thing connect in a pattern. That information drives us to form a new way of thinking. The mind is strong and can be rewritten under this energy as we want to make our inner narratives ones of support and not ones of aggression.

There is a huge opportunity for an emotional clearing under this New Moon, as cycles end to make way for new beginnings. The airiness and emotionally detached Gemini energy likes to keep things light and playful, so rewriting a more positive dialogue for your inner voice would be a great idea.

Be open and playful under this energy. Distract yourself with ideas and thinking. Jot down some goals or new projects you'd like to start. Most of all, speak your feelings into existence. When you are emotionally triggered, take the opportunity to process that emotion with the powerful mind of the Gemini influence and see how much you grow.

Welcome To Gemini Season

The power of the Sun shines our energy and focus onto Gemini season where our minds show us their power. After a very long and slow Taurus season, we really need this time for our mental planes to be activated. We need clarity, logic, ideas, inspiration! We've been so focused on DOING that we need to take a step back and take a look of the building we've begun to create. 

Gemini season will have our minds working at lightening fast speeds. We will be way more observant as we pull the details of our environments and interactions into our brain where we are making sense, seeing patterns, and are coming up with a solution fairly quickly. 

We can interpret situation much easier as logic and minor details pop out at us. We are like sponges under the influence of Gemini, soaking up every last bit of information and data we can surround ourselves with. 

This is all well and good to have the power of the mind providing us with clarity and inspiration, but if you're not careful you can very easily switch to information overload and short circuit all together. It's up to us to balance the mind, body, and soul equation to make sure we are listening to each part of ourselves and asking what it needs. 

When the mind because overstimulated it causes anxiety and stress related issues throughout the body. Nervous or restless energy can become very dominate in Gemini season if the mental plane isn't monitored. 

The Gemini energy, although brilliant, lacks a certain amount of compassion and empathy for others, and feeling tend to get hurt. For a sign that rules communication, they really could use a bit of work in the emotional deliverance of facts, just a tad bit better. Because Gemini's are so intellectual and very much stuck in their heads, they tend to be a bit detached and cold in the emotional department. This kind of energy can lead to conflicts that were never meant to upset anyone, so be mindful of the emotional tone you use when you speak. 

You will see many options reveal themselves to you under the Gemini energy. Options are never a bad thing to have, except when you have too many of them and your indecisiveness leads you to anxiety. That is very possible under this energy as we tend to get carried away with the details. We see so many opportunities that we become overwhelmed and paralyzed with indecision. 

We tend to lose sight of the bigger picture while in Gemini. It's a balance between focusing on the big picture of where it is you want to go, and then focusing in on the small details of how you're going to get here. This needs to be a dance instead of one extreme or the other. 

Gemini season favours connecting with your siblings and your local community. It loves to explore and observe both people and their environments. It also rules technology and mechanical things such as cars and anything with moving parts. All of these are very much connected to the inner workings of the mind. 

It's important to be mindful of your mental activity during this energy, and make sure you are using it for good instead of bad. Don't fixate on negative or bad aspects of what's going on around you, instead always think the best case scenario and the lesson behind the experience. Be sure to keep referring back to your big picture goals when you get lost in the details, and surround yourself with as much opportunity to learn as possible.

Jupiter Retrogrades In Capricorn

Jupiter - the planet of growth, abundance, expansion, and spirit - goes retrograde today in Capricorn. It takes Jupiter 12 years to visit all of the signs and because of that, it’s been 12 years since Jupiter went retrograde in Capricorn. Jupiter first entered into Capricorn last December, where; with the help from Saturn and Pluto, created an absolute blimp in history with this current global pandemic.

Jupiter is big, extreme, too much, and is a whole lot of extra. His placement among the stars exaggerated and grew this global pandemic to a huge state of concern. I’m not saying it’s not a big deal, but Jupiter’s influence has a tendency to make things appear bigger than they actually are.

Saturn and Venus joined Pluto already in retrograde, this week and with mercury moving into his place of power, we are now positioned to do some deep karmic healing through the way we communicate with others.

Jupiter on its own, retrograding in Capricorn would lead us on an introverted journey of exploring our own truth and renewing our beliefs. Jupiter is the great philosopher of the zodiac is very connected to the spiritual journey we are here to have. Jupiter in Capricorn is about our roles and responsibilities in life and where we need to take the leadership role on being our own authority.

Now retrograde, we can move inside ourselves to take a good look at how far we’ve come, how we’ve even gotten here, what it is we believe in, where we’ve been living in extremes, and basically, we get down to the truth.

Mars has entered pisces blurring our vision of the future. Mars is usually very direct and straight-forward but is forced to go with the flow under this influence. This, paired with Jupiter’s retrograde in Capricorn will allow us to dig deep within ourselves to unleash our inner spiritual warrior; the version of us that picks ourselves up after we crumble to the ground. This fire energy is not only dangerous and destructive, but it holds the power to regenerate and birth a brand new belief system within ourselves

Be cautious of your self confidence while Jupiter is retrograde. We have a tendency to lose faith within ourselves because we are questioning everything and lose sight of what we know to be true. Don’t get down on yourself for too long. Take a minute when your spirits are high, to write down your big picture vision, your goal, your desired outcome. And every time you feel your hope and faith slipping you can refer back to your note to remind you of what you need to focus on.

Classically, a retrograde is a time to rewind, rest, reflect, rework, revise, re-organize and recalibrate. Because Jupiter is at play, you can expect all of those revisions to be in your own spiritual beliefs and the vision you hold for yourself.

Mars Enters Pisces

 The warrior planet Mars, full of energy, action, passion (and even anger) moves into Pisces, the wish-washy zodiac, who lives a life of dreams and fantasy. Mars is usually ready to jump in and tackle the next level of action required in life with a fiery attitude and will initiate new beginnings all in the name of moving forward. But entering into Pisces is going to slow down the eagerness of Mars, and even bring the action to a halt.It's going to be more challenging to get things started and to have the physical energy to actually charge ahead.

Pisces, the sign of the fish, is very much at home in its emotional waters, daydreaming of another world, and avoiding confrontation at all costs. The directness of Mars is going to be washed away by the Pisces energy. The straight-forwardness that you can normally expect from Mars is going to become so flighty under this Pisces energy that misunderstandings are bound to happen.

Mars being all about taking action, is going to shift that energy into more spiritual and emotionally charged pursuits. The Pisces energy will have us ebbing and flowing with the ocean of inspiration and emotional change. Just like the waves crashing upon the sand we will be experiencing the waves, their rhythm, and intensity through this transit.

During this transit, we are prone to putting other's needs before our own. We may be swayed off of the path of confidence as our goals suddenly become blurry under the water weight of Pisces. This particular shift is going to prove a bit more difficult when you consider the other shifts and aspects that are taking place during this transit.

For instance, just this week we have had Saturn and Venus join Pluto already in retrograde, mercury moving into his place of power, and Jupiter preparing to go retrograde tomorrow. Our relationships, with ourselves, our money, our loves, our family, friends, co-workers, they are getting all shook up! Many conflicts and breakups will take place during Mars’ female counterpart’s (Venus) retrograde, While we take a trip back to the past to rework some karma that requires a second look before total closure.

But now with Mars entering pisces, our feelings get blurred. Our goals are wish-washy. Our energy seems to be depleted.Mercury’s working overtime helping us to receive moments of insight and process all that we’ve learned at great speeds, while Mars will step up to be the warrior that he is, helping us push through our emotions and be the spiritual warrior we need to be.

We have some highly charged shifts taking place that will lead us into the fall A lot of the chaos 2020 has brought us will be smoothed over and cleaned up a bit as we enter into a brand new world. It has been a very intense year, and the shifts taking place are literally the beginning of the end. This year has been huge with planetary alignments we haven’t seen in hundreds of years, with retrogrades and eclipses still awaiting our divine attention.

Mars moving into Pisces will be a great time for dream work and for access your inner most self, wants needs and desires. Pisces energy is all about dreams and fantasy so definitely allow your mind to wander and explore parts within. Because Mars is challenged in this aspect, being less energetic, less focused, and less motivated, it's going to take some inner discipline to bring some of your dreams to life.

This is a great time for expression, especially where the arts are concerned. If you have a passion project, a creative urge, or an inspiration of any kind, tap into that energy and let it out. This a a great time for all authors, artists and visionaries to expand their imaginations. Because Pisces isn't an energy to do anything without a greater cause, a moment of inspiration is all you really need to activate Mars to lend you the energy, action, assertiveness and passion in order to make things happen.

As long as its an emotional and spiritual expression of yourself you shouldn't have an issue tapping into that kind of power. Please be gentle with yourself (and others) as the Mars energy could easily be expressed negatively through irritability, anxiety, and/or anger. It's up to you to find healthy ways to exert this energy to do you best to remain balanced.

Venus Retrogrades In Gemini

Venus - the Goddess of love, beauty, money, pleasure, and joy - is retrograding in Gemini today. Venus has been in Gemini for a while now, creating a emotionally detached, air of curiosity in our relationships and values. Venus isn’t at her strongest point here in Gemini, and although it’s good to let your hair down and not take things so seriously, now retrograding in Gemini will make some topics and themes much harder to avoid.

Any time a planet goes retrograde (appearing like it is going backwards in its orbit) we get to shift our attention inward to revise and realign our hearts and our heads from all of the activities that have taken place in our outer worlds. Because Venus is focused on love, money, and values, the mental activity of processing our current situation and having some deep conversations about these topics and themes get activated under the retrograde energy.

Venus retrograding in gemini may have old friends and exes reappear. This is to help you process and sort out some emotions that got repressed in order for you to close this chapter for good. If you are in a relationship you may find Venus in Gemini’s retrograde will throw you and your partner back into the past to have some hard chats about the relationship and money matters. Sure, we’ve done a great job at avoiding some painful truths, but now with all of this retrograde energy we can hide from these conversations any longer.

With all of the other elements at play, (Saturn, Pluto, already retrograde awaiting Jupiter to join them tomorrow, Mars (Venus’ male counterpart) surrendering to the emotional battle of karmic cleansing in Pisces, and Mercury (the messenger of the Universe working hard to download us with new insights to gan a bigger perspective) these next few months will definitely pull us through the ringer of emotions.

It’s not all bad though. Retrogrades are a chance for us to rebalance the scales of karma. It’s an opportunity to level up spiritual and close doors on old soul contracts and be ready for new ones to begin.

Although Venus retrograding in Gemini should be light, and fun, and fancy free, socializing and even uniting with soul family members may be desirable, but commitment is not recommended. You should definitely pay attention to who enters your life at this time (and who leaves) because it’s likely karmically connected. But hold off on making any new decisions to commit to a new path until the universe better supports it.

A word of caution though: If you are in a relationship and it’s falling apart, let it fall. This is a time where we cut away the bonds that are no longer serving us. And Venus retrograding will have us purging the people that we’ve outgrown to make space for new, more aligned energies to enter.

Mercury Enters Gemini

Mercury, the planet of information, intellect, and communication, is moving from Taurus into Gemini picking up the pace in our minds.

Mercury rules Gemini the sign of the twins, bringing both parts of himself together. Mercury is in his place of power here. He effects our mental plane making our minds move at lightening fast speeds. We are able to wipe our brains clean of all the old programming and obsessive thoughts we've been having and start fresh creating a new record for ourselves to listen to.

We are processing the information our brains are taking in at warped speeds. The details of our environment get seen in a new light, and we are able to makes sense of things much quicker with a strong sense of clarity.

Although this brain power is an amazing advantage for us to experience right now, there can be an element of burn out if we are overwhelming our minds with too much stimulus. We need to be able to control our brain power and exercise extreme focus when our mind becomes scattered.

This is also a great time to be forming new ideas and perspective about some long standing issues in your life. Suddenly you will see the dots connect and be shown a perspective that you can't unknow. You will be amazed with the "ah-ha" moments and downloads of information you'll receive while Mercury is in his place of power.

We also get a huge push to speak up and out. We have just come from Taurus season where we upped our value and worth, and now some people in our lives need to hear how we are going to be treating ourselves, and expect to be treated, from now on.

If you are given the opportunity to speak up and express yourself on any matter that is of value to you, now is the time to do it. We have a way with words when Mercury is in Gemini meaning our words carry more weight and value than we previously realized.

Our words, our message, hits our audience in the right kind of way to have them understand, acknowledge and accept our opinion and the feelings we express.

This is a very powerful time.

This is a time where we have expansive ideas and inspirations, but they come so fast that we can barely retain the information. Make it a practice to be writing your epiphanies and insights down to revisit them at another time.

Take advantage of Mercury being in his place of power by exploring your surroundings and picking apart scenarios in your head. We can come to some serious, solid conclusions under this energy, so make sure you are paying attention to your thoughts and that you use your mind power for positive growth.

Saturn Goes Retrograde

Today, Saturn, the Lord of Karma and ruler over structures, authority, roles and responsibilities goes retrograde in Aquarius before sneaking back into its place of power in Capricorn. Saturn’s full retrograde cycle will take place over the next 4 months ending on September 29, 2020. This major, heavy-hitting planet embodies the military Grandfather energy; strict, hardworking, tough love, all about working hard and taking your time to perfect your craft, the authority figure, and delegator of life lessons, is going to take us a few steps backwards in our lives so that we can destroy anything that left that we can hide behind.

If you are hiding being an illusion of your life, an unauthentic mask of who you are, and holding onto old outdated beliefs and structures that aren't serving you, Saturn will help you see what needs to be removed. There's a karmic element at play here where the old, present, and future parts of ourselves will be blended together, integrated for our highest good so that we may come out of this retrograde fast tracked onto our path forward with the karmic energy of the past having been cleared away, while we fully embrace the newly transformed self.

This particular retrograde is a life changer. We will see it play out on a global scale through the banking systems, government bodies, and religious communities as they fall, crumbling into a heap of old energy that isn't strong enough to weather our modern day storms. There is already evidence of this taking place on a global platform, and Saturn has a hand in it.

This retrograde is also very potent because Saturn is joining Pluto in Retrograde in Capricorn as well, bringing all of the power and control issues to light. Pluto is triggering the darkest parts of ourselves, the not-so-good emotions surrounding obsession, guilt, fear, doubts, insecurities, and anger, so that we can use these darker emotions to transform them into light.

Together, and with the assistance of both Jupiter and Venus about to join them in retrograde - Saturn and Pluto will do a retrograde dance over the next 4.5 - 5 months causing all of our lives a bit of re-organization and refinement. Because this is taking place in Capricorn (Saturn will re-enter Capricorn on July 1st), the focus of this disruption, all in divine order, is to focus on the roles and responsibilities we have in life, and to breakdown the restrictions we've been living under in order to truly live more freely in the new world we are creating.

Our foundations, global systems, and structures are outdated, and because we - as a collective - are no longer satisfied with the happenings in the world on the global platform, an uprising of humanity will assist in helping those structures crumble as we are ready to build new.

We are in the year of building, the year of creation, but there are safety and financial concerns building a new structure on a foundation that isn't strong enough to withhold the new design. With this visual, we can clearly see that the cornerstones of the existing foundation need to be restrengthened, re-supported, re-poured in order to be structurally sound.

This is Saturn, the structural engineer coming in to overlook the project, and we've received a failing grade. Construction is halted to a stop so we can bulldoze the structure and its footings, only to start over and build it right from the beginning. And there's Pluto, the General Foreman of the job, irate and furious that the job is costing him money, he's insulted that his position of authority has been overruled by the engineer. This is HIS job, and HIS word goes. Jupiter going retrograde will amplify and intensify all the growth and expansion that needs to take place in order to get the project back on track. While Venus retrograde will have us revisiting old ideas and associates to put an emphasis of the value being constructed.

Saturn is obsessed, trying to hold onto any inch of the job he can save, not realizing that his need to control the situation when it's in the best interest of the future population that will house this structure, preventing what will be a huge, tragic disaster, where the structure could fall, endangering people's lives, is holding up the path of moving forward. He needs to stop, put himself in time out, and realize that he is wasting precious time and energy trying to protect and save something that is beyond repair. His only option now is to harness the power of his anger and disappointment and focus on rebuilding this project properly from the ground up.

With this shift in perspective, after surrendering to the situation that cannot be changed, he pools together his resources and gets the project on track and built the way the engineer suggested in the first place.

Surprisingly, the project gets completed much sooner than he had anticipated because the group of workers all got on the same page, believed in the same goal, and together, their energy accelerated them down their projected timeline leading them into the successful completion of the project. This is a perfect example of Saturn, Pluto & Jupiter being retrograde in Capricorn, and what we can expect over the next few months.

The key here, is to surrender. Recognize the fight you are fighting, see the reasons of why you are trying so hard to hold onto the outdated structures in your life KNOWING that they aren’t solid or strong enough to house the new dreams you are looking to build, and refocus your power and energy to embrace the change and start building new.

This cosmic alignment has been divinely orchestrated in your favour. As the world takes steps to get back to life and create new norms, we are also going through a huge DNA upgrade as we integrate what we’ve learned into our total being. Ask yourself: Do I want to go back to what normal was? Was normal working? Where do I feel angry and frustrated? What new foundations can I build for myself? What ideas am I’m refusing to let go of? And where to I need to take my power back and stand up for myself?

Full Moon In Scorpio

The Lunar Goddess has submerged herself into her shadow-side as she steps into the depths of emotion and repressed memories in Scorpio. The Moon rules our emotional state and travels through the zodiac to focus on each layer of her emotional core.

When She enters into the intuitive and psychic waters of scorpio, she faces the hidden truths within herself in order to integrate the good with the bad, the dark with the light, the positive with the negative. Scorpio is the sign or death, rebirth, and transformation. Under scorpio's energy we are intense, probing, and mysterious. We tend to favour the darker side of life, and all of its taboo subjects. Sex, anger, death and anything mystical or magical becomes appealing.

Full Moons are classically purposed for a release, and ending or completion of an emotion cycle. This Full Moon in Scorpio is also considered a flower moon (also the last supermoon of the year), and because it's taking place opposing the Sun in Taurus (worth & possessions) while both Jupiter (expansion), Saturn (karma & restrictions) prepare to go retrograde, meeting up with Pluto (power & control - also Scorpio's ruler) already in retrograde (turning our energy and focus inwards on our inner worlds).

Venus (the Goddess of love, money, and worth) is about to go retrograde in Gemini, giving us a timeout to reflect on what we value, and to communicate ourselves a bit better when it comes to relationships. Venus going retrograde is a whole attitude in itself, but with all the other major heavy-hitting planets going retrograde as well, we are in for quite a time of restructuring & rebuilding.

This is packing a powerful punch. Think back to the Fall of 2019, and all that has happened since then. All of the transformations and changes you've undergone. The struggle within yourself, combating the darker emotions, using them as a main motivator to inspire change, All of this energy has brought us to this moment, where the person we have been becoming finally integrates both parts of themselves together. This uniting of our inner selves, those two contradicting voices within, are now agreeing to work together, all to fully embrace the energy and power instead of battling for control.

This merging of our past and present selves is needed. It is our experiences that have shaped us, and our futures that motivates us to shape shift into something different. We want a life better than the one we are currently living and asking for change in.

The New Moon in Taurus only two weeks ago was when our new selves took the wheel. What we wanted to initiate and see take life has run into obstacles and delays. Those have been divinely constructed for your wellbeing by the Universe.

The uprising of repressed emotions and memories under this Full Moon in Scorpio are absolutely necessary to experience to fully emerge yourself in the darkness so you can recognize the light when it appears. This dive into the depths of your inner workings is absolutely necessary to see how far away from the surface you hide the most powerful parts of yourself. There is great amounts of energy spent into trying to control ourselves and not act on our inner most desires.

This Full Moon in Scorpio is going to ask you to harness the power in another way. Our emotions are obviously heightened and frustrated during this moon cycle and should be treated with respect. These heavier emotions have been what has allowed you to survive certain parts of your life but now are angry that they have to stay hidden. You will experience a wave of energy over the next few days as your vibration and frequency raises to another level by the emotions you are willing to acknowledge, and integrate.

We will enter into next week with a totally different energy and center. This isn't a bad thing. We need recalibrate our energy and focus and that only comes with a personal understanding of one's self. Be kind to yourself as you allow your emotions to make themselves known. Allow them to pass, feeling them with every ounce of your being. The Scorpion energy will allow you to transmute and darkness you hold within to pure, loving light.

If you require any assistance navigating these energies, please listen to your May Forecast, listen to the weekly Energy Forecast, and/or  book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.

May 1, 2020

The Schumann resonance records the changes in the electromagnetic frequency the earth experiences. Although there are direct connections to the cosmic astrology, science has yet been able to scientifically provide an algorithm or equation to measure the energetic influence of cosmic events.

Since the global mediation on April 4, 2020 we have experienced some of the highest numbers ever recorded on the Schumann resonance scale.

Today May 1st, 2020, the Schumann resonance recorded an interesting pattern over the last 3 nights where we received large blasts of energy throughout the night. This can effect the physical symptoms we experience as our psychic or auric field is sensitive enough to feel these vibrations.

This isn’t a normal pattern that is captured. The short blasts of energy balls with following beams of direct frequency rays really makes you wonder about what our collective consciousness is being downloaded with.

The current astrology aspects are also very different and rare compared to past patterns as we are in a very interesting astrological time. Our mental planes are receiving huge amounts of information and there are sudden jolts and shifts in our perspectives and awareness.

Many of my clients along (with myself) have reported opposite sleep patterns, vivid dreams, increased head/sinus pressure, and sudden palpitations accompanying ringing in the ears.

These are also ascension symptoms that normally manifest under a fluctuation in the energy in the auric field. Of course, if there’s a medical concern please seek a medical professional. With a solid grounding practice, most ascension symptoms can be relieved and fully resolved.

Have you noticed any shift to your energy, or sleep situations over the past few nights?

TAURUS

Happy solar return Taurus. As you enter into a brand new solar year and cycle, it’s time to take stock of where you are at and where it is you want to be. You are undergoing a huge transformation within yourself as you leave parts of yourself behind and allow a new energy to lead the way. You may have to take a step back and give some thought to your relationships and who is actually getting your best self.

GEMINI

As we approach Gemini season and your birthday month, there’s a deep thought process taking over as you re-examine your relationships and your personal goals. You’ve outgrown yourself in a lot of ways, and leaving parts of you behind may pose to be a bit of a struggle. Your dark season has revealed a lot of attachments to people and ideas that are no longer in alignment with what you want for yourself in the days to come. You will see a shift in your attitude and the way you are seeing things take place in your life. Stepping back to reflect on all you’ve been through and all you’ve learned will expose you to a bigger picture of where you’d like to see yourself in a year from now. You may find it frustrating to have to surrender to the universe and ebb and flow with the events that will effect your day-to-day routines, but switching up the way you move through your day, especially where you make time for yourself to nourish your mind, body, and soul, is never a bad habit to get into. Be mindful of your words this month as they carry a greater weight than you are aware of. Your own inner process of stripping away the old thoughts and feelings may come off as rude and hurtful when expressing yourself to others.

You find yourself in the middle of your dark season as you get closer to approaching your birthday. The dark season helps you to move inward to reflect back on who you’ve become over the past year and help you to release some old attachments to both people and ideas. When contemplating what it is your heart yearns for in a romantic relationship, you may identify where it is you’ve become too attached to needing things to be a certain way. You still have some deep emotions to sort through especially where your heart is concerned. Taking a step back to reconsider your path will allow you to see the bigger picture and how to take small steps to align with the vision you wish to see manifest. You may be reviewing your career choices as you re-evaluate how much energy it requires from you. You may also find a shift in perspective where sharing your energy with others are concerned. Listen to your intuition and pay attention to your dreams as they will reveal tidbits of information to help you shift your mindset into a new light, seeing how old situations can be resolved in new ways.

You’ve hit the ground running as you take on some major changes to your life. The excitement and enthusiasm you now have about building something new for yourself is borderline obsessive and all consuming. It’s important to recognize the changes that are taking place within your home and the relationships within it, so you don’t lose focus on what’s most important. You will be taking a time out to reconsider your plan moving forward. Some old goals you had may no longer trigger excitement in you. You have to think very carefully about how you are positioning yourself to be in alignment with your greater vision. You will need to let go to some past emotional attachments before your heart can dive into a new passion as a whole. It may be time to reconsider how it is you’ve structured your daily routine. It’s important that you take the time to rebalance your mind, body, and soul, and make sure you are aware of your current mental health. Burn out is definitely a possibility as you become too focused on making things happen without making the time for your body to rest. Focusing on self-care will be a main focus for you towards the end of the month.

You are about to embark on a brand new journey or learning and exploration. Exposing yourself to new topics and themes will awaken the curiosity in you, and expand your mind to a brand new vision that you’ll work hard to try and manifest. You may be grieving a certain loss which, although can be very painful, is also is a beautiful thing to know you are capable of such love. You will be taking a step back to review what it is you actually love in this world and prepare yourself for entering into a new phase of sharing yourself, your heart, and all the things that make you happy and bring you joy with new people who will be entering your realm. You’ll need to review your daily routine and make some edits to your schedule to allow yourself more time to take care of your mind, body, and soul. Distracting yourself with outside chatter isn’t helping you to get in touch with your inner voice to receive the guidance you require for this next part of your journey. There is a review of all you’ve learned and experienced as the past creeps back into our present to see if you can handle things in a different way. This is a time where you can create a new sense of closure with some of the family drama that has been weighing very heavily on your heart.

You’ll be taking a good look at what it is you value and what it is you want to acquire. There’s a sense of taking stock this month as you hold onto what you find to be of most importance and fully release your attachments to old people and ideas, especially where love is concerned. Reflecting back on all you’ve experienced and accomplished since last fall will help prepare you for even more transformation as the second half of your natal year begins. You may be stepping back to reconsider your home situations and whether or not you need to make some changes to your environment or to the people in it. As you become more aware of how attached you’ve actually been to certain scenarios, you can free yourself from the obsessive thinking that depletes so much of your energy. Give yourself permission to love again, to enjoy yourself and have fun again. Make time to do the things that make you laugh and smile. It’s a heavy and dark process to be in constant state of transformation, so lightening the mood with pleasurable things will help you to purge the parts that you’ve been holding onto for far too long.

A new storyline takes shape as you balance the scales between what it is that’s best for you and what it is you desire, versus what it is that is being asked of you to fulfill the happiness of others. You will see a huge shift in your energy as you release some heavy and dark emotions from your soul. You have been carrying a lot of weight on your heartspace especially where your intimate relationships are concerned. You might have to take a step back to gain a better perspective on how you think and feel about certain relationships in your life, and learn to communicate your thoughts and feelings with a more direct sense of confidence. Topics and themes from your past will re-emerge to be discussed and laid to rest for good. But it will challenge you to take all you’ve learned and actually USE those life lessons to create a change in your conversations. Heart felt discussions are needed and can no longer be swept under the rug. Your home and family dynamic is changing and revealing how you feel about that is absolutely necessary. The impact of your career changing does create some insecurity around your financial goals, but this is a time to restructure your life to only have goals to acquire things of importance. Your self-worth will take a dive all in the hopes that you find a new sense of value in who you are as you renew your faith and beliefs.

Mercury Enters Taurus

Today, the planet of information, communication, and expression, moves out of fiery Aries and into down-to-earth Taurus. Mercury rules our mental planes and the time it has spent in Aries had our mental planes in overdrive, pushing us aggressively to come up with new ideas, and expressing ourselves in a brand new, confident, brave kind of way.

As much as we benefitted from this energy, it will be a welcomed break to have our mental planes calm down a bit, grounding our thought process into a more logical, and focused way.

When Mercury is in Taurus, we are focused on life as it is, and not what we want it to be. We get tunnel vision, focused on our basic needs, our foundations of work, money, and long-term relationships. We are thinking clearly with Mercury in Taurus, and because Taurus rules self-worth and values, you can expect to only communicate and express yourself when there is a message about your boundaries to be relayed.

This is a great time to think about all of the talents and skills you possess, and think very carefully about how you are utilizing them to the best of your ability. Are you being productive in the thoughts and emotions you are trying to communicate to others?

There is a deliberate act of expression that happens when Mercury is in Taurus, as we only feel the need to share things of value. The conversation in our relationships will be more direct as to cut away the bullshit, and deal with life as it is. When Mercury is in Taurus we have the opportunity to see details in our environment and social exchanges that we may have overlooked.

Since the Taurean energy has us concerned on the physical senses and experiences, we need to listen to what our body needs. Taurus is an earth energy, stable, strong, and somewhat rigid, as they despise change. This will influence us due to the fact that Taurean energy is also very stubborn.

There is a caution during this transit to be aware of how far you will go to dig in your heels and not budge on an idea that you may become too attached to. There isn't a whole lot of wiggle room in the fixed energy of Taurus, so be mindful of where your stubbornness will reveal itself when your ideas are being challenged.

This energy is a great way to simplify, and minimize the activity in the mental plane, only focusing on one thing at a time, and only on things that are existing in your world already. We've spent months dreaming and envisioning our dream life, but now we need to get back to reality and see if we are utilizing the tools and resources we currently have to the best of our abilities.

If you require any assistance navigating these energies, please listen to your April Forecast, listen to the weekly Energy Forecast, and/or  book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.

Pluto Goes Retrograde

Today, Pluto - the planet of power, control, obsessions, and transformation - goes retrograde in Capricorn. Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008, creating quite a shift within us individually as well as on the global scene.

Our Government, Politics, Religion, and humanity as a collective has been breaking down the long standing structures that are no longer working for us. Capricorn rules authority and the roles and responsibilities we have, especially when in the public eye. Pluto's entrance into Capricorn has brought us some very upsetting shifts in these authoritative structures, which piece by piece are crumbling to the ground.

We need these changes. We are now living in a world that needs the right kind of structures put into place for our futures to be supported. The old paradigms are not strong enough to handle the power of the reality we are currently living in and will never survive the weight of change we are needing in our futures.

On an individual level we have been working hard to embrace the roles and responsibilities we've been given here on earth, especially where our careers are concerned. Many people have realized that they aren't in the right role and have been making huge changes to align themselves more with a career and the responsibilities that are in more in alignment with their heart and Soul. 

Anytime a planet goes retrograde, the energetic influence that is normally projected and expressed outwards in our lives, then becomes focused on our inner worlds where we have an opportunity to transform the not-so-nice feelings surrounding the topics and themes of obsessions, control, and power.

Because Pluto is an outer planet, the energetic influence of it going retrograde doesn't cause chaos and mayhem like the inner planets such as Mercury does when retrograde, but instead the energy shift is very subtle as we take our attention away from the outer world and start moving within. Don't be fooled though, the energy of the outer planets going retrograde has a huge effect on us, and the intensity of the transformation is very much felt and seen. 

We will have 5 months of allowing the power and influence of Pluto to dive deep within our consciousness to allow the darker emotions we have surrounding power, control, and obsessions to be raised to the surface where they can be acknowledged and transformed into something lighter. This will have you recognizing very clearly where your obsessions lie. It could be obsessive thinking, obsessive eating, obsessive habits that aren't really serving you.

You may see areas in yourself that require you to free up your control issues, or even show you where you need to exert more control and discipline in your life.

This will also be a time where you fully embrace your power. This time will show you where you've given your power away in order for you to take it back.

The key word here is transform. We aren't trying to acknowledge these issues for release, we want to transform them from a state of darkness into a state of light. We want to harness the power we put into these not-so-nice topics, and transform that power into focusing on what GOOD obsessions we can consume ourselves with.

We want to see where we try to control elements in our lives and work on releasing the compulsive need to have everything happen in a certain way. We want to transform these issues into a source of power.

Be mindful, especially this week as the shift begins. Pay attention to what themes and topics are triggered for you as the healing journey gets started. It's likely that the areas revealed to you in this first week will be what gets an overhaul in your life over the next 5 months.

As always, if you require any assistance navigating these energies, please listen to your April Forecast, listen to the weekly Energy Forecast, and/or  book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.
