Full Moon 16th March 2014

The Moon is waxing towards a Full Moon this Sunday 16th March, so people may begin to feel the effects i.e. increased restlessness, heightened sensitivity, insomnia or disturbed sleeps, strange or vivid dreams. Be aware obsessive feelings and excess worry are possible as this Full Moon will be in Virgo, an earth sign which is an analytical, pro active, perfectionist sign. And Jupiter and Pluto will be conjunct (within 10 degrees of) the Moon so it can intensify Virgo's tendency to over think things. On the plus side, positive endeavours like tidying up, spring cleaning, hunting for great bargains and general organising can be successfully achieved. Jupiter is a planet linked to excess and positivity and Pluto is a planet linked to intensity and transformation. On Sunday there is a positive angle between the Full Moon and Saturn so this helps constructive action. The Full Moon's influence may be felt 4 days after Sunday too. By Wednesday things should have calmed down, there will be a lovely grand water trine between Mercury, Neptune and Jupiter. A good day for clearing the air, with honest chats and increased empathy.

Mars Retrograde - March till May 2014

1st March until 19th May - Mars is Retrograde. Mars is the planet of action, passion and vitality. Be aware that new things and connections with people that begin during Mars retrograde may fizzle out. Try not to be impulsive during this time. Mars retrograde is a time to 'put the breaks on'. It is better not to initiate new things during this time but it is great for reinforcing things. Passions, frustrations and irritations may be heightened generally during this time, so being aware not to act upon angry feelings may be helpful. Mechanical breakdowns can be increased during Mars Retrograde periods.

Feb 28th 2014

Mercury turns direct today; so combined with the New Moon in Pisces it should be a much calmer time for many. The New Moon is generally a good time for new changes, whose benefits may be felt for weeks ahead. So take a few moments even to sit quietly and reflect upon what you would like to manifest for the new month ahead. There is a stellium in Pisces too (a cluster of planets; Sun, Moon, Chiron and Neptune in Pisces.) Pisces is very creative, intuitive, healing and spiritual – so a good time for new emotional depth, for creativity and magic. Sun conjunct Neptune, Pisces' ruler is a romantic and imaginative influence too! Although intuition will be increased, so too can sensitivity. There is also a lovely positive triangle between this Pisces Moon and Jupiter in Cancer. And Jupiter is square Uranus in Aries so a driving force for action.

February 14th, 2014 - Full Moon in Leo

Today’s Full Moon is in playful, fun, creative Leo. This Leo Full Moon is in positive angle to Mars (the planet of action and passion) so heightened emotions are more likely to be expressed positively. The fact this falls on Valentine’s Day is rather pleasant as this aspect is good for fun, passion and kissing and making up. As Mercury is retrograde and conjunct the Sun today, it is also a lovely time to reconnect with friends. Self-control may be needed as the Moon is square Saturn but flamboyant, happy energy is likely to be in the air. As always a Full Moon’s influence can be felt four days before and four days after, so don’t be surprised if sleep is more unsettled and dreams are more vivid or strange. A Full Moon in Leo is quite extrovert, so don’t be shy to express yourself, wear eye catching clothing, or embrace your inner child.
General Weekend Forecast: Saturday’s Moon in opposition to Neptune with Mercury Retrograde in Pisces is a rather sentimental, nostalgic influence. Thinking objectively may prove to be difficult. Sunday’s Mercury trine the Moon is positive for expressing emotions but an active mind may increase the possibility of insomnia.

Time Will Tell

"It might be good, it might be bad who's to say?"

A man's wife gave birth to a son. Many villagers visited to say 'Congratulations! You must be overjoyed!' The man said "It might be good, it might be bad who's to say?"
The people didn't understand his lack of joy.
Years later the man's son lost a leg. The villagers visited with their sympathies for his misfortune.
The man said "It might be good, it might be bad who's to say?"
Again these people didn't understand how he could not think this a tragedy and thought him callous not to be sad.
A few years later war broke out, all the young village men were drafted, except this young man's son.
The villagers said nothing. The man was revered as a sage.

I like this story as it's a positive reminder sometimes that which seems bad is a blessing in disguise, with hindsight.
