Solar Eclipse in Virgo, September 1st, 2016

On September 1st, we have a powerful New Moon Solar Eclipse at 9 degrees Virgo.  
 
The aspects at the time of this Eclipse remind me of the opening of Charles Dickens’ novel, A Tale of Two Cities:

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us… 
How are you perceiving your world?
Two opposing types of aspects are happening:
DARKNESS: The T-square with Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Sun and Moon is a vortex of potential drama, fearmongering and negativity.
LIGHT: The conjunction of Mercury with Jupiter and Venus in Libra sees the higher, bigger perspective and focuses on bringing more love and light to every situation, no matter how challenging it may appear.
Which one will you choose?
Are you allowing your outer world to disrupt your inner peace?

Saturn conjunct Mars could bring situations that are potentially frustrating and might test your patience. As it is square to Neptune, people may say one thing one day and then change their mind the next day.

I observed myself starting to get frustrated with the person at the call centre of my bank who was giving me completely different information than the person I spoke to the previous day. Remember to breathe and allow whatever is unfolding before you just to ‘be.’ If you can do this, you’ll maintain your inner peace and thus prevent outer circumstances from upsetting your inner world.

One person may look at their world and perceive perfection while another sees nothing but misery.

How are you choosing to look at your world?

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
Oscar Wilde
With Mercury retrograde conjunct to Jupiter, instead of getting sucked into the drama, you can choose a positive outlook and see whatever is unfolding in your life from a larger perspective and not get lost in the everyday details.

Four planets are in Virgo, the sign that has a tendency to worry about every little detail. The conjunction with Jupiter is encouraging you to see the perfection around you and to tell yourself ‘Every little thing’s gonna be alright.’
(Bob Marley)

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
WB Yeats

Mercury is retrograde until September 22nd, and with seven planets in mutable signs, you may find that you are not able to firm up your plans just yet. Being flexible and inviting change are ways of dealing with this energy in a positive way.

The advantage with so many mutable planets is that you can also change your mind more easily. If you find yourself getting into a negative spiral, and you feel your energy level dropping, distract yourself and find something positive to focus upon.

Venus is in Libra offering harmony and peace. If you look for it, you’ll find it even in the most extreme situations.

‘Nothing external has any power over you.’
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Aquarius Full Moon August 18th 2016

On August 18th, we have a Full Moon that is almost a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius at 25 degrees. It’s heralding the eclipse season which officially starts on September 1st with the Solar Eclipse in Virgo. Expect some BIG CHANGES! 
 
Aquarius is all about BEING YOURSELF!! Not only is the Sun in Aquarius, but it is trine to Uranus and the Moon is sextile to Uranus making this an extra-special time to awaken, to see the world differently and to stop worrying what others think.

In my last newsletter, I asked you whether you would prefer the channeling videos to be on a separate channel to the astrology ones. The overwhelming vote was to keep everything TOGETHER.
 
For those of you who voted for a SEPARATE channel, I have created a separate playlist for the channeling videos.  
 
Thank you to so many of you for responding and for giving your feedback.

One client’s words aptly reflected the vibration of Aquarius which I’d like to share here with you:  

 
‘Each of us has a message to deliver, by means of EXACTLY who we are.
If we change that message to accommodate other people then:
1. the message will no longer be delivered accurately
2. it will no longer reach all the people it is supposed to reach
3.we won’t be fulfilled, as we would be functioning in a way that is not consistent with who we are.
4. We would be half-living for those who don’t need us, instead of living fully and giving fully to those who do.’

 

 ”Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

Aquarius is all about freedom, independence and liberty.
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL UNFREE??

For me, I HATE WEARING A BRA!!! It’s the first thing that comes off the moment I walk through the door to my home.

What societal expectations are you conforming to that make you feel uncomfortable? For example, I’m getting very comfortable with leaving my body ‘as is,’ and not keeping on shaving, colouring, hiding parts of me. What a relief!

“And the body sings, let me be free; let me show you what I can do. Let me show you a physical power beyond age and limitation.”
James Blacker, Author

“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophies.”
Friedrich Nietzche

Don’t allow yourself believe that something you’d like in your life is impossible to have. FEAR stops everything. Fear makes you small, makes you contract and hide. This Full Moon wants you to step beyond your fears, and to allow yourself to shine in your individual, special way. No one can be you! It’s time to come out of hiding and allow yourself to shine. With the Sun in Leo, you are being encouraged to be a little crazy, to do something differently, to become the NEW YOU, without shackles and restrictions.

With so much Uranian energy in the mix, SURPRISES are in store!!

Neptune is square to Saturn, sometimes causing issues with water. My hot water boiler suddenly sprang a leak covering my entire bathroom with boiling hot water. Luckily, I managed to turn the mains off and the plumber arrived shortly afterwards.

Perhaps it’s a new romance, a change encounter, a business idea with masses of potential that suddenly starts to move forward. You begin to meet ‘just the right people’ to move everything forward.
