Moon in Taurus

The Moon is moving against the backdrop of constellation of Taurus giving us a slow and steady approach  to things today.  There’s much emphasis on grounding,  getting comfortable and developing amiability and peace when it comes to our various stresses.

Our overarching desire right now is to make sense through the senses.  Connecting through touch,  food,  smell,  the beauty of vibration and sound and the subtle recognition of all the sublime aspects of our earthly experience.

Potentials for this energy are indulging in the following :

Good food
Good wine
Beautiful people,  friends
Luxuries
Comfort
Sweet, sugary things.
Spending
Accumulating
Growing Something
Making Something
Desire to Sing
Nature as teacher,  signs from the nature Kingdom
Love
Harmony and Symmetry

A Taurus moon makes us want to earth our desires,  make contact with real living things,  people,  places and feel good!

Abraham Hicks says “It is good to feel good”.

Sun in Aries

When the Sun is in Aries the core self is strongly connected to the fire element and this imbues Aries with boundless energy. They are active beings, constantly needing outlets for their physical energy. This makes them active, dynamic, self willed, urgent, fast, goal orientated and highly creative beings.

Outlets for energy include: Sports, Exercise, Gym, Movement.

Without this outlet the physical energy builds and affects the body in the form of frustration,aggression and even anger and rage.

However it’s this same energy which allows Aries to be the natural leaders they are known to be. They are fast acting, good at quick decisions where other signs may deliberate for longer before acting on decisions. They effortlessly create as they go, and are good at making things happen in the physical world without too much thought.

Strengths include: Physical, Decision making, Leadership, Getting things started.

Weaknesses: Carelessness, Act first think later, Selfishness, Winning at all costs

However, with this in mind, remember that each Sunsign is one piece of a larger character puzzle, with other signs such as the Moon , Rising and Mercury playing important roles in the filtering of a pure expression of the Sun.

Getting Your Point Across with the Moon in Aries

When the Moon spends it’s monthly 2.5 days in Aries it’s hard for us to  not try to get our own objectives met. 

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and rules self-definition on principle.  Anything that comes from the connectedness of the universe,  comes forth to  distinguish and separate itself.   That’s why Aries has a reputation for being self willed,  goal orientated,  sometimes selfish and yet also  self aware.  The energy combined with lunar energy,  the moon,  magnifies our feelings about things.  Mostly about ourselves in relation to the world.  And that’s OK,  it’s only for two or so days.  It’s balancing. 

The pitfalls with this energy come from the discord between the element of water (Moon) and the element of fire (Aries).  Fiery water is active water,  it’s turbulent and can also be destructive but there is movement,  forceful movement.  So an Aries moon can simultaneously free us and rile us up.

Positive ways to use this energy are through conscious action,  inspired action,  using your feelings to take actions,  getting on the same page,  moving things around,  open communication regardless of outcomes. Truthfulness.  No filter.  Fear less,  do more.  Doing.  Projecting . Asserting.

Full Moon in Leo @ 3 Degrees

So the moon will come to a grand climax in Leo on the 23^rd of January 2016. Lately our energies have been quite “other orientated” , selfless and maybe too giving with Neptune, Mercury and the Sun dancing together in the sky.

Our sense of our own goals has really started to demand more urgency. What do you want this time around? And how are you managing your expression of that desire? This post will suggest ways this could come about for you.

My disclaimer this week is to hold your horses where action is required, or where decisions are made. Mercury is still retrograde until the 25^th and therefore has you generally doing more rethinking about various parts of your life. Think about it ,sure. Research, recommit, but it needs to stay within the mental realm until he goes direct

Here’s this weeks Full Moon cheat-sheet. Read for your rising sign and sun sign if you know it.

Capricorn- Intimacy

At this moment in time, Capricorn, it’s a powerful build up to a moment of great release, bonding, sharing, usually via some kind of catharsis. Finances can come from somewhere outside of your own. Help arrives. Accept the gifts of the universe and allow this support to move you forward. Whether it’s an intimate bond, a loan, or the release of some kind of shackle.

Aquarius-Relating

This week’s build up has you pondering and urgently desiring to find yourself within a relationship and the full moon brings YOU fully to life in relation to someone else. Allow others to really hear and see you. The real you. You will be surprised at the good reception and feedback.

Pisces-Service

Dear Pisces, you are no stranger to giving. This week will be about the awareness you get of how much you give of yourself. Where are your energies flowing , flooding even? Is this healthy? These are the kinds of questions which the full moon should answer. Work picks up and a health issue can come up for resolution.

Aries- Fun

Coming out of a period of crazy intensity, and perhaps because of it, social isolation, you may now desire this week to let your hair down and step into fun mode. What kind of fun do you want to have? Spend time with children, playing games and doing things which allow you to enjoy life again. This will open up a doorway to more joy down the line. Make time for it.

Taurus-Home

It’s all about family, home and your space this week , Dear Taurus, where things build to a crucial moment of self realisation. Who are you in relation to your family? Do you fit?Do they? What can you do to make your home reflect your tastes, and also how can you make your space a comfortable place. How can you allow others in your home to contribute to this?

Gemini-Communications

Once more , you are very familiar with dealing with sudden influxes of data and activity. Find your voice among the flurry of details flying at you is your challenge this week. With your ruling planet retrograde, you have really been a bit of a double checking, second opinion kind of mindset. Rely on your powers of editing. Whether its your words, dreams, thoughts or communications in general.

Cancer-Earning Potential

What kinds of talents can you turn into lucrative streams of abundance , Cancer? How can you apply your unique self to a desire you have to earn more? Or earn your own worth in your own eyes? These are things on your mind. You may need to get to grips with your real talents, your life skills, and the actual application of these to a pressing concern or fun project.

Leo-Self

It’s about you now, Leo. Your reality right now may include sudden surges of environmental changes, all around you things are moving very quickly and this may seem a little jarring for a stable sign such as yourself. Know that you become a better you through this process of movement. See this as an great opportunity to turn the attention to yourself. What kinds of openings are there now to really change? Investigate. Google.

Virgo-Self Care

Hey Virgo, with your ruling planet retrograde, you could be feeling all sorts of unsettled. The full moon should allow you to get in touch with your spiritual center again and therefore set off a phase of ease and wellbeing. But only if you take the time to turn inward, relax, contemplate, go to your sacred space etc. This full moon can allow you to understand what your true needs are and how valuable they are for your life process and happiness.

Libra-Social

It’s business as usual this week for you Libra and group involvement can start to increase around the weekend. Are you in support of this gathering? Are you asserting yourself? How do you really feel about your friends and their thoughts? Big realisations can occur now. Libran energy is about sharing and relating, and your naturally are focused on this in your lifetime. The challenge is perhaps relating to larger groups? Your circle. Find confidence on a stage, speaking up and gathering information this week and weekend.

Scorpio-Career

Something comes to a head in the career sector of your sky. And this means that your contribution to something , gets put under the spotlight. You get your 15 seconds and this can set up a nice chain reaction which allows you to move forward with greater ease. Your trajectory is lined up and with just a little self confidence, a sense of openness, childlike wonder and play you can get where you next need to be. Don’t doubt your dreams. They are as real as you are.

 

Sagittarius- Surveying

Your natural zone of adventuring, surveying and studying is being activated by this full Moon. And this means big breakthroughs for yourself. Your journey continues after a brief sojourn. You may encounter necessary delays as mercury is still retrograde. But after the 25^th its full speed ahead but with a more mature understanding and a more grounded quest for that illusive purpose. Relax into your personal truth and follow it.

New Moon in Sagittarius: Sign by Sign Scopes

So without much ado, here are the scopes for each sign for today’s New Moon 🙂

Sagittarius– This New Moon is all about you dear Sagittarius! Falling in your sector of self, identity and body. Your soul is thirsting for something fresh and new. There’s really been a lot of paring down this year, due to Saturn’s step into your sign. This may have felt like a weight, but a necessary one. However, you can enjoy this New Moon and treat yourself. Do something just for you- haircut, throw a birthday party, get a new pair of shorts for the summer. Do it, just for you. And forget all those disappointments you’ve been suffering. Trust, Dear Sag. It’s all gonna work out for you…

Capricorn– You’re almost there dearest Cap! It seems like you are coming to the end of a very long year. By that I mean it’s really run the gamut from breakups, house moves, job changes, and a definite upsurge of powerful emotions,compelling you to wipe the slate clean. Your ruling planet switched from purging Scorpio to visionary Sagittarius, and this has made you very aware of your more complex , subconscious self. The New Moon your 12th house is calling you to rest and rejuvenate, avoid chaos where possible, and really deeply connect with that silent inner core. You got this! Trust.

Aquarius– In your zone, aren’t you Aquarius? This year the energy has just intensified for you as your ruling planet held sway in rebellious, get-it-done Aries. Your thoughts, speech and communications have really become raw and unfiltered free of unnecessary editing. You are finding your unique voice. This New Moon is highlighting your groups, friendships and connections online. You may make a brand new friend, or just nestle nicely into some holiday socializing with your clique. I guess what I’m saying, Aquarius, is you have a full green light to get fully Turned Up!

Pisces- Who are you in the world, dreamy Pisces? Your ruling planet has been in your own sign, bestowing on you gifts that are unique to you and easier access to them. Your imagination, creativity,abilities, and unique alternative interests have really blossomed and you may have discovered hidden aspects of your psyche. Others have noticed this too and you can definitely feel pride! The New Moon happens upon your 10th sector of career, role, public persona. It helps you carve out a unique destiny, and will help summon all the necessary tools to make steps in that bold new direction.

Aries-Believing something new about the world these days, Aries? Now, Aries, I know you’ve been feeling a little all over the place for a year or two. And this truly serves you. Uranus moved into your sign in 2011 and has since been totally destroying and rebuilding structures in your life.  You need this awakening, so that easier, more user (you)- friendly alternatives could appear. This New Moon adds to the conversation, as you look forward to the future. Planning a Vacay? or a journey of discovery going back to school? Perhaps you are getting serious about your belief system. These are all potentials for the New Moon on the 11th. Use your new understandings to make decisions the new you would make.

Taurus-Plumbing the depths of the most secret self? There’s a lot to be said about what goes on inside our heads and lives , that people don’t really know about. That may be on purpose. I’m a firm believer that things that are new should be kept a secret until it becomes something established. Then you can tell anyone you like! With Venus recently emerged into Scorpio you are finding a more private energy creeping in. This energy is all about getting to grips with core realities about the self. Things like what you owe and what is owed to you, sexuality and intimacy, and your relationship to power. These are very intense energies Taurus, So be kind to yourself. The New Moon helps you come up with a plan, a budget, a game plan to deal with life-things. Do you!

Gemini-Someone else enters your universe, Gemini. Sometimes, the universe gifts us with like-minded souls who we just want to get our smooch-on with. And this is true for you now Gemini! Someone is getting under your skin, or more like into your heart. It may be someone quite different to your normal type. Which really continues a theme which your ruling planet , Mercury,  having with you.  Or if in an existing partnership, you may see a totally new side of your beloved. Don’t be scared , explore. That’s my advice.  They may be a little older too. Or from a totally different country. Have fun getting to know this new element in your love life.

Cancer-Work shifts gears, and your body acclimates, kind Cancer. It’s been business as per usual and by the end of the week you will become aware that you may be feeling a little crazed by all the flurry. But not to worry, your shell will protect. You have an inner warrior that will spring into action if needed. Moon movements affect you particularly powerfully, and this years eclipses have really pushed you to progress. And you have! Remember to pay attention to eating well, getting your 8 hours, and hydrate and you will be fine. The positive thing is that you get a clearer idea at this moon, of what you want from work in the future!

Leo-Time to have a little more fun Leo. Though knowing you, fun is no stranger. It’s a time where you can get into your playful role and let loose. This can become a very fruitful and fun time for dating, spending time with your kid/s, or even becoming aware of your kids starting new phases like going to college, getting a job. In other words, if you are a parent, you can be proud of where they are and this really helps you feel good about yourself too. Parenting is one of the most creative things a human can do. If single, unmarried, sans children, fear not! Then just turn up the fun times volume, and enjoy this time. There are fewer pressures, so enjoy when you can. The New Moon gifts us with something new in this area.

Virgo-A new home awaits your healing heart. Dear Virgo, your ruling planet Mercury was retrograde in September this year. Plans you attended to since after the retrograde, regarding going back to something – a job, a home, a relationship, seem to be picking up speed now. That’s because  Mercury is now in exciting-future-plans Sagittarius. Looking forward to new places, people and things. Your faith, on a spiritual level, may also have deepened over the last little while to help you get through. What’s in your future for this New Moon on Friday? Returning to your center. Getting in touch with your roots, plans to move house. These are all potentials. Just keep ahead with your to-do list and it will be full steam ahead by the Full Moon on Christmas day.

Libra– The business of busy-ness. Your communications sector is on fire. And I mean that in a neutral sense. It’s got a lot going on right now. You’ve recently had the good fortune of your ruling planet in your own sign and may be feeling quite committed , deepened and intimate where it comes to your relationship with yourself and others. You went through quite an active moment where people demanded a lot from you, and your social life was off-the-chain.  You are now, with this New Moon, being called to start making bigger steps , becoming bolder and broadening your mental horizons. Perhaps you are thinking of teaching, or being taught again through a short course. Plans like this will have much support! Go you.

Scorpio– Oo La La, All that hard work is literally starting to pay off. Scorpio. Your money is startling to flood in. You’ve been through the quintessential ringer. Pluto in Capricorn has been challenging mentally and in terms of your everyday journeying. You’ve been fascinated by power, control and the dynamics in the political world and how it affects you. So with all these daily realities infusing your mind, its no wonder you sometimes feel drained. So much going on right now globally! This New Moon connects your work with the rewards or payment received from such efforts. It may include a raise, a bonus or in some way opening up to larger amounts. Receive with grace. You deserve it!

Kind Astrology Gets a Mini Facelift

Hi Everyone! Please bare with me as I tweak and update the blog’s appearance. Content is still available. – Regards, The Kind Astrologer

New Moon in Sagittarius- What’s on the Horizon?

Hi lovely peeps! It’s been a little while. However I’ve noticed a somewhat organic pattern emerging. This blog has slowly
evolved into a Lunar horoscope site. And being a Cancerian, this seems only natural. So with that I’ll jump straight into this months New Moon in Sagittarius!

This New Moon takes place on the 11th of December 2015. Lunar energy comes from deep within, is emotional and many times uncontrollable. It’s a deep reflection of our needs. It shows us what nurtures us , and what is nurturing us and others around us.

Sagittarian energy is bold, knowledgeable, exploratory and likes to keep on the move without settling anywhere for too long. It’s goal orientated, intelligent, and belief- orientated.

So the planetary conversation is about how our emotions need to roam, explore and open itself up to new experiences. It’s not especially good for feeling grounded, but it helps us open out hearts to the future and new possibilities.

This New Moon has “New Year’s Resolution” written all over it. It allows us to look up from where we are  and focuses our attention on distant goals, plans and opportunities.

Signs that this Moon affects especially strongly are Sagittarius and Cancer as well as Virgo, Leo and Aries.

With Jupiter as Sagittarius’ ruling planet, there is an optimistic, happy-go-lucky energy infused into this time as well and so it is likely to help most if not all of us achieve something positive by the Cancer Full Moon on Christmas day!

This tends to affect Virgo in larger than life ways. There’s an inner transformation as well as external reconfiguration going on. And Virgo being earth signs, tend to thrive when they are making useful, practical changes.

My next post will focus on the ‘cheat-sheet’ for the new moon. I’ll do a neat little breakdown of how the New and Full Moons are likely to affect each sign.

Laters,

Full Moon in Gemini

This months Full Moon is in Gemini, a communication orientated sign. So this week becomes all about getting, sending, receiving important information regarding an aspect of your life. To see which aspect of your life , here is this Wednesdays Full Moon Cheat-Sheet for your sign:

 

Sagittarius – It’s all coming up and out into the open in terms of your close relationships and connections. Truth happens, that changes the course of your relationship trajectory. Avoid hurtfulness, but stick to plain and simple truths. Bare basics communication is recommended.

Scorpio – This Full Moon affects you deeply, and helps you purge bad things which are blocking your flow. Whether its a toxic love, energy vampires or de-cluttering old things there is a sense of mental application to a task of digging, sorting, cleansing and purifying your life in some way. Whats gotta go has got to go. Be kind to yourself and others in this process.

Libra – Your plans for travel, study, belief related things or dealings with foreigners are highlighted now. There seems to be a whirlwind of activity and sudden excursions to get things done. Things new and unknown come to the foreground for you. Perhaps you are introduced to a rare kind of person that you never thought was actually real… My advice, be open minded and immerse yourself. You’ll learn something new.

Virgo – The role you occupy when it comes to your career becomes rather suddenly active. Seemingly from nowhere you receive a lot of attention and demands for your focus and ideas. Your mind is in high demand and can really spark a new perception of your life direction. I highly recommend grounding and taking care when at home to regenerate. Spend time with family to balance this energy for yourself. It really helps!

Leo – A situation regarding a friend or group or your online persona is becoming increasingly complicated and your ability to multitask here becomes key in your success. Truths come from friends, or groups you associate with, perhaps your company. A cause you love, may demand your attention and ideas now. Be smart about this. You’ll do well.

Cancer – In the deep recesses of your mind you’ve known for a while, Dear Cancer, that you were going to need some downtime. You may have put reading that book on the backburner, replying to THAT email for a quieter time. And now may be a good time to get into your Zen zone, pamper yourself and gain some much need rest so you can attend to those things. Watch over-straining yourself, move at an even pace.

Gemini – Hello Gemini!  This time it all revolves around you. Your emotions swell up to super-size , email, cellphone , your mind takes over for a moment and this happens while you are surrounded by a flurry of activity. Remember that this is a loving Universe, and watch as things come to life around you with no special effort on your part except your positive thoughts. Are there flashing camera’s nearby? It may be to snap a selfie with you!

Taurus– It’s all about your finances now and perhaps even your diet, Taurus. Overindulging can happen now. Money matters and budgeting may become suddenly chaotic. Remember to eat sustaining foods, take breaks and pace yourself. Also, you may receive word from the bank, or your employer of some big gain…Enjoy!

Aries– You are just busy bee right now aren’t you Aries? Your day to day activities explode and multiply. Keeping up with the pace of life is somewhat of a natural gift for a sign such as yourself and you even thrive on being ten steps ahead. Sometimes its okay to just keep up, Aries. Allow yourself some slack at this important time. It will simmer down within the week.

Pisces– Lovely Pisces, you may now be barricading yourself into your home. The world has been quite intrusive of late, trust your  intuitive nudge to put up boundaries (physical, like shutting your door) or emotional ( like saying no) are all great steps in the journey to asserting your needs effectively. You need to anchor from time to time, and at this busy time as soon as you are able I highly recommend closing that doorway and building in some you-time. It really does help!

Aquarius -Fun with friends, out on a date, at a wedding (perhaps yours?!)  all feature now and can really help you let your hair down. It’s been an extreme few weeks and now you can really settle with some friends and really get all the latest gossip. Catching up, partying, time with kids, arts and crafts are all part of this full moon energy. Careful not to over do it though, is my disclaimer.

Capricorn– Hi Capricorn, your work and routine and health balloon right now and build to an apex which may seem very alien to you. Though you are no stranger to hard work, this seems to really be challenging you ina variety of ways. However Capricorn, what you don’t know is that you totally have this in the bag! You are so capable , Dear Capricorn, you can do this. Sleep well, take relaxing baths, eat well and that should be enough fuel to power you through.

 

That’s all for now,

Til next time

Social Peaks and Heart to Hearts

Venus moves into Libra for a bit,  boosting our sharing experiences.

When the planet of all things beautiful and sensuous enters one of her own signs, Libra, we have a sense of ease for a while. Social connections and romantic connections as well as our participation in business tends to pick up and become more fulfilled. More invitations to events feature now, more weddings, more birthdays.

Venus rules love, desire, attraction, abundance, talents and appetite. Venus has dominion over all those things which inevitably give us a sense of confidence, self – love , inner and outer beauty as well as security. When it comes to food and appetite Venus tends to draw our eyes to richer, finer foods and dining. So watch the wallet, as during this phase cash can go out just as easily as it comes in. Though the focus won’t be so much on you, it’s the finances you flow towards others which become more central.

Right now our appreciation of others might reach a peak. We easily express our admiration and receive the same from others. There is a natural desire for closeness with others now because Venus bonds people together.
It’s a perfect moment in time to find out that you actually have a lot more in common with someone than you thought and this can be extremely enduring and makes you feel close to those around you.

Libra stakes a claim in the realm of relationships, partnerships (business and romantic). Wherever there is an exchange of love, energy, or sharing we find Libra involved in some way/shape or form is where this is likely to play out for you.
Collectively it may be a time for striving for emotional balance, there’s a need now to be surrounded by beautiful things and especially beautiful souls. The company we keep now will tend to have a close-knit feel, pairing up for activities are favoured now, more than any other time.

It’s a great time to find a gym buddy, a life partner, a shopping buddy, fellow spa indulger, psychologist, work/business partner, fellow avid book lover. The list is endless as long as it involves sharing experiences with another. Best friend pairings do especially well now!

The challenges of this position, might involve a slight amount of detachment from negative feelings. So be wary of stuffing down feelings. Take a time out to feel, then let go and move on instead. That way you can stay clear and still enjoy life after little bumps in the road. Also , our talents focus around diplomacy and settling things, sorting things and arriving at equilibrium.

If there were ever a time to find a special someone,  it would be now.  With these social contacts taking place- there’s an increased chance of finding meaningful rapport with someone.  So what kind of heart song are you singing?  Lonely sad ones or optimistic,  happy ones?  Studies have shown that happier people tend to have less trouble finding suitable suitors.  Food for thought?

For those of you who are already linked up,  this is a time of strengthening and deepening what is already there.

Enjoy this time of regaining your footing in your relationships.
