Moon in Aries;

Here, the Moon’s emotional realm is infused with Aries’ furious blazes, becoming agitated and boiling with many tiny passionate bubbles. An Aries Moon produces someone who’s probably very energetic and willing considering their own subjectivity, being blessed with the ability to find unexpected sources of strength and force of will when their emotions are at stake.

An Aries Moon symbolizes an individual who was taught the value of being courageous and energetic through their maternal figures in their upbringing. Now, in this individual’s subjective consciousness, things tend to grow out of their natural proportion, as if their thoughts are set under violent pressures, which can produce frequent emotions of anger, rage, passion or irritation. Judgements are made impulsively and there is the burning tendency to act according to one’s feelings before thinking things through.

Because of their upbringing, their feelings of protection and security depend on their ability to be proactive in their lives. They must be always looking forward to some kind of challenge, something in their lives that allows them to express their courage or sense of individuality. Being independent and dedicated to their values and objectives is essential, and they value very much their own opinions and attitudes, maybe to the point of being too stubborn about them. The Aries Moon individual is on an unconscious quest for finding and understanding their own selves; finding the one thing that separates them from the rest: their force of will.

Blood lunar eclipse! 🌹🌕⚡️

The total lunar eclipse is occurring at 4 degrees Aquarius on July 27th at 2:20pm MT. It is also a blood moon for the reddish tint it will have. Keywords for this full moon are: rebellion, karma, endings, hope, strength, confrontation and power. There is a lot going on with this lunar eclipse, the moon will be conjunct to retrograde Mars and square Uranus, which will amplify the moons energy adding strength and also a unnerving need to confront any issues from your past. People that trigger past issues may be confronted…using this energy to confront past issues regarding anger, repression, sexuality will be important to letting go of older destructive patterns. This moon wants us to look at our dreams and hopes for humanity and the freedom within ourselves. Working within a group or community for a common goal. New dreams may come about by letting go of what holds us back or restricts us. Venus is exactly trine Pluto which adds intensity to our relationships, wanting depth and allowing for transformation within our values and pleasures. Overall it is a full moon with a lot of energy and power, manifesting endings for positive movement. Releasing karmic patterns and pushing our souls more towards our purpose. Pay attention to the signs and purge destructive relationships, patterns, thoughts etc. This weight has to give, letting go and releasing transformative energy. ✨

Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius December 3rd-22nd 2017

 🏹 Cerebral Valium

“Most misunderstandings in the world could be avoided if people would simply take the time to ask, “What else could this mean?” - Shannon Alder

The event of Mercury retrograding is an illusion in the sky. An illusion we seem to make all to real. The author inside our minds keeps backspacing our thoughts, we can really stumble over our words. Like the wire that attaches the brain to the mouth is tangled. The clever and the chaos becomes a flatline hum. Cerebral valium, necessary but frustrating. What if the Mercury retrograde effected us so much we got confused about it being Mercury retrogade? For people very in tune with quick and acute mental faculties, they can feel lost in life without the mind. Mercury is already debilitated in Sagittarius, so the experience can be very surreal. 

♡♡ Is this information valid? ♡♡ Do my thoughts match up with my inner values?Is this the right occasion to share my thoughts? ♡♡Do I need to be alone to figure this out? ♡♡Do I need to gather more information? 

How can you be restless but tired at the same time? Sagittarius is a very dual sign and equally distributes energy through the body and mind. Sagittarius is also active and aspirant, so it can be rattling when Mercury is having a relaxing sunny vacation. The normal acuity we have in conversation, writing, and learning seems inhibited, but not seemingly for the whole retrograde. We usually adjust after only a few days, Mercury is very flexible. The old rhetoric around not signing contracts and reduced punctuality is basically highlighting that you may not be applying your usual attention to detail and therefore may overlook important details or forget the train schedule. It also means that the person operating the train timetable can do the same. It doesn’t imply that every circumstance around communication, transport, business, and paperwork is inherently ill fated. It just means that you may need to apply more care and discrimination around these matters. Because Mercury rules the hands and dexterity, we can become more clumsy, i’ve already cracked my iphone screen lol. 

Just breathe now. you won’t miss out on anything - no one is talking sense anyway! Take time to breathe. Mercury rules the lungs. It will clear your mind immensely. If you managed to read this all the way, you can see that Mercury retrograde hasn’t stung you too much
