Pisces New Moon

This New Moon is truly ‘geared’ for us to visualize the world we want to come towards us now.

We are already sensing into the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction (coming up on April 12th); this New Moon in Pisces is the forerunner for the magical, the vast open dreaming of Jupiter in its own sign, Pisces, (traditionally, until Neptune took over); this is because Jupiter is in a very close conjunction to the New Moon.

This conjunction between Jupiter and Neptune, will go on being a feature of 2022, and is a soothing and spiritual balm after the harsh and sometime abrasive square between Saturn and Uranus running through 2021. These planets open multi-dimensional consciousness, the gossamer veils between dimensions merge into boundlessness, as we all have the opportunity now to dream in the world of our ideals, expanding the vista of what is possible, or even what has seemed ‘beyond our wildest dreams’.

Gemini Full Moon ~ 2021

Gemini Full Moon ~ AEDT December 19th, 3:40pm

This Gemini Full Moon continues to emphasize the theme we have been in all year around the conflict of the New World and the dying domain being left behind, courtesy of the Saturn/Uranus square and now Venus in close conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn.

The infrastructures in our relationships are undergoing big transformations. Pluto is the deep dive into the ‘underworld’ in order to let go of what is not longer serving and allow new fresh growth to emerge into the space that leaves. Venus in the play brings this process into all our relationships, whether it is the folk down at the local milkbar, or your nearests and dearests..everything is under the scalpel of a Pluto hawk-eye review.

Sagittarian Super Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse

The Total Lunar Eclipse is in Sagittarius, and is also a Super Moon which means the Moon is very close to the Earth in its orbit. Eclipses are always intense and disruptive in nature and therefore in our lives, but very often not necessarily on the day that they happen as we can notice the effects of them up to six months before and after the actual event. However, this one will be more powerful than usual, as it is total plus being a Super Moon. On top of this it is a so-called ‘blood’ Moon. read on

Scorpio Full Super Moon 2021

This is our second Full Super Moon this year. A powerful Full Super Moon like this is very likely to be felt from for several weeks before and after the actual event; I have had many people asking me ‘what is going on?’ in the last few weeks. read on

Sagittarius New Moon ~ Total Solar Eclipse 2020

Eclipses are always disruptive and serve as much needed circuit breakers which deliver opportunities for evolution and growth universally.

This total Solar Eclipse (the only total one this year) is very powerful. It will last three-and-a-half-hours and principally fall across Chile, Argentina and in partial form across the lower part of South America, Antarctica and SW Africa, but also as it is only 4° away from the Galactic Centre at 27° Sagittarius. read on..

Taurus Full Moon 2020 ~ Blue Moon

Technically this Full Moon is a so-called Blue Moon, because at GMT time it falls on the last day of October, making it the second Full Moon in October.

However, in Australia and New Zealand it just makes it into November, as our time zones are ahead of GMT.

The most striking thing about it is that it is exactly conjunct Uranus in Taurus. Full Moon’s as I’m sure you know amplify energy and currents, and so we’re in a heightened Uranus in Taurus window during this week.

Libran New Super Moon 2020 ~ an astro-tarot reading

An astro-tarot reading of the Libran New Super Moon using the Tantric Dakini deck. The pressure of the ongoing Saturn/Pluto/Jupiter conjunction is cooking hard now as it is in a T-square; square to Mars (retrograde), Dark Moon Lilith, and Eris, and opposite the New Moon. A trine to Venus in Virgo acts as a cooling system to this powerful dynamic. This represents a way of letting the pressure out through Love and creativity. (flowers). The Dakini reading highlights the pressure that our current uncertainty brings in this time with everything, all those institutions and structures of the patriarchy unravelling around us, and in our own lives. (Eris and DML squaring the Saturn/Pluto/Jupiter conjunction.

Aries Full Moon

The potent outer planetary configurations of the Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn continue to hold their power in this Aries Full Moon.

Full Moons bring emotion up to the surface, and since it is an Aries Full Moon, more-than likely there will be anger. The Mars/Saturn square on the 29th September, on the same day that Saturn went stationary direct, will intensify how our anger or frustration manifests or not. (Saturn).

'When God was a Woman' by Merlin Stone, an excerpt read by Candy vR

'Though we live amid high-rise steel buildings, formica countertops and electronic television screens, there is something in all of us women and men alike, that makes us feel deeply connected with the past.

Perhaps the sudden dampness of a beach cave or the lines of sunlight piercing through the intricate lace patterns of the leaves in a darkened grove of tall trees will awaken from the hidden recesses of our minds the distant echoes of a remote and ancient time, taking us back to the early stirrings of human life on the planet…..
