#Repost @kristinodijk with @use.repost ・・・ Scorpio Full Mooners & Lunar Eclipsers, your presence is required. Possibly the most intense Full Moon of the year calls for the simplest response. When your emotions arise, face them and feel them. And then let them go. Uranus and Mercury over there in Taurus might try to make it complex, making up stories and tempting you to analyse your way out of feeling. But emotions can’t be reasoned with, they can only be responded to. You can’t reason with a three-year-old. That’s your Moon. Look after it like you would a child. Don’t use language it won’t understand. Be with your feelings, be with yourself. Be your own parent. Most of all, be present. Honour your inner opera. This Scorpio~Taurus axis we’ve been eclipsing along since 2021 is our last for this growth period. You might be reaching your crescendo, your highest pitch. Face it, feel it and let that shit go. Come to my Moon workshop on Sunday, bring your feelings and your inner child and discover how to respond in your emotional style. You won’t need to stare down your feelings anymore.♥️ The link is in my bio.🌕 Image: Rachael Lange as Marie-Antoinette trying to manage her emotions, photographed by Ellen von Unwerth for Von Magazine
#Repost @kristinodijk with @use.repost ・・・ Aries New Mooners & Solar Eclipsers, once more with feeling. Starting afresh for the second time on this rare second New Moon of Aries season, what’s the universe trying to tell us? If we haven't already got it going, we get another chance? If we need a giddy up, we’ve got it? In astrology nothing is isolated. This feels like a universal ploy, a deliberate set up to support us. For spirits that are flagging, you can try again. The chance you thought was lost didn’t go anywhere, it was always here for you. You just need fresh eyes to see it. But first, take a pause. A dramatic pause. We’re at the final degree of Aries. You so want to race ahead but before you embed yourself in Taurus, welfare check. Where’s your head at, your heart? Where are you going with all that fiery, self-directed, self-propelling energy? Do you need a moment to map out your moves? There’s a Solar Eclipse in the air and there’s no jumping ahead without considered contemplation. No matter what you see in the sky, this is an equal opportunity experience. Your next phase of emotional development is available. In the darkness with our inner eyes switched on, we can see our situation in a whole new light. New possibilities are emerging. Revelations, reflections, awarenesses, opportunities we might miss if we move too fast. This is a Moon for shedding skins. For going deep and letting go of what's tired, stale and well past its use by date. This is powerful, transformative Pluto purging and there's gold in there, if you let yourself look. Be brave, be open, hope for your best and prepare for catharsis. The healthiest approach don’t you feel?♥️ Image: Cate Blanchett doing her best impressions of her Aries Moon in an editorial titled 'Truth or Dare', photographed by Annie Leibowitz for American Vogue, December 2009
#Repost @clairepeast with @use.repost ・・・ SOLAR ECLIPSE 20 April 2023 Okay, it feels like we are on the edge of something big right now. That would be the incoming influence of the hybrid solar eclipse new moon that is exact on the 20 April 2023. This is an unusual energy, and unusual eclipse, in unusual times. The image I have of this eclipse season is a large door opening out to the wonder and beauty of the cosmic worlds beyond. It looks glorious – over there – but we are still here being asked (pushed) to walk through the door. We are just looking at the door at present. There is a danger that it will slam in our faces if we dilly-dally too long. Say Yes and walk through the door to the new. Through this ‘large door eclipse’ significant transformational power is radiating upon us all, this manifests in our lives as a sense of being hauled into the new, through making changes in ourselves, and/or in our lives. We are about to get ‘real’ and grounded about the future we want. This solar eclipse activates what feels like very electrical energies that are coming in quite forcefully until late June 2023, at times shaking us to our core, and at other times embracing us with gentle loving surprises. Our souls will be stirred. Also, through this powerful energy we are about to witness world events that are much bigger than us. Your task, as always, is to Hold the Light within you no matter what may be happening around you. Get the Light VERY grounded within you, and through you. Find solace in your loved ones, family, friends, furries and all of Nature, stars, flowers, soil, fresh air. We are after all, part Nature and part Divine. We can do this. Feet on the ground. Soul stirred. Blessings x . . . #newmoon #eclipse #solareclipse #spiritual #selfhelp #inspiration
#Repost @kristinodijk with @use.repost ・・・ Aries New Mooners, how do you want to live your life, this fierce and fulsome life? Boldly, courageously, assertively? Or shades of? So you but more 'you', more 'true'? Aries is the self-starter of the zodiac, and this New Moon’s starry set up sets you up to choose how you want to be and how you want to feel in your life. Energetically, Moon cycles don’t get more original than this. Kickstarting a brand-new astrological year, this New Moon is fresh and feisty and fully enabling you to ignite your mind and firestart yourself into action. Imagine yourself as master of your Viewmaster. Which life would you envision for yourself? Would you change direction or slot yourself into another situation? Would you backtrack or are you right on track, living exactly as you dreamed? No regrets? No wishing you’d said ever yes instead of no, or no instead of yes? Ever wondered how your life might be if you’d put your hand up, or put your hand out to ask for more, so much more? If you’d had the confidence to advocate for yourself, to speak up instead of shutting up? If you’d let yourself act on every decision you didn’t make? Now is the time to alter your image of what is available for you. Do the thing you think of everyday and put off and off and off and off. Imagine if it wasn’t just you that was missing out from not doing this thing, but a whole world of people who could benefit from one change you make today. One change that could course correct a whole lot of incorrect that’s holding you back from being all you can be. There’s a kaleidoscope of possibilities out there. Every decision you make and action you take has a ripple effect, creating worlds and existences you don’t even know about. This Aries New Moon is full of hope, but hope is just a dream if you don’t act on it. Act on it, please try. The flow-on effect of making one subtle or significant change could just blow your mind, in the very best way.♥️ Image: Christian Dior lipstick envisioning a new reality in 1970
#Repost @clairepeast with @use.repost ・・・ Today, 20 March we are entering into the energies of the Equinox (equal day and night), a moment of balance in our lives, where we take a breath before we fully begin this new year of 2023, and indeed it is the beginning of a remarkable new era. Recently, we may have felt and experienced ‘disturbance’ on our mind levels, a sense of stripping away of the old in preparation for receiving and being the new. This can leave you with a sense of ‘rawness’ as if the outer layer of your skin has peeled away, and your persona is no longer firmly in place. This is transformation. You may feel more sensitive to EVERYTHING. It takes time to readjust to the new you. You have time. Things, life, you, others, are about to speed up significantly, and there will be a much greater sense of moving forward at pace over the next six months to the next Equinox. This is not an ordinary time, it is a time of high frequency light waves expanding our minds, and bodies, and activating our souls. This is a rare moment in cosmic history. This is to facilitate in us extreme shifts in consciousness. The world is ready. You are ready. Be kind to all, especially to yourself. MANTRA:​​I AM THAT I AM

#Repost @kristinodijk with @use.repost ・・・ Gemini Full Mooners, got that hot brain feeling? There’s so much to do, to think about, to act on. So much for our heads to hold. I know it’s the time of year but it feels even more hamsterish in my mind than usual, more all over the shop, more restless, more accelerated. You feeling it? This trickster monkey mindedness is so Gemini and feisty, action-oriented Mars just happens to be retrograding (ie moving backwards) through Gemini (it has been since 30 October and will be till 11 January). It’s no wonder there’s a hot mess in our heads. We’re pivoting all over to find that piece of information, data, intel that will bring sweet relief and free up some headspace. Full Moons are always big emotional energy releasers but this one is particularly amped because Mars is such a part of it. It’s backing right onto the Moon (aka your emotions) and couldn’t be any closer. Whether that feels like a full-on reverse collision or a gentle twerk from behind very much depends on how this Gemini Full Moon lands in your birth chart. Let’s pin our hopes on the twerk. The question on everybody’s lips is how it might manifest. It could be lovely, light, bright, fun and sexy. Easy, breezy and a really good time. You could feel super stimulated and inspired, or jacked up and ready for a dust up. There could even be words, strong words, harsh words, words you can’t unsay and you can’t unhear. Be mindful of your words, slow down your nervous system, your breath and especially your intake of information. For a calm(er) mind, have one tab open at a time and less screen time overall. For a good night sleep, it’s comedy before bedtime and phones out of the bedroom. Distractions and reactions of all kinds are very possible. Mars needs something to do so keep it busy by keeping yourself occupied with the simplest, most purposeful and grounding things that feel good for you. Just don't fight the energy because you might end up fighting with yourself. And that would be boring ~ anathema to Gemini.♥️ Image: very un-Gemini of me but I have no source info.

Appreciate you. Appreciation heals the heart. We all need to feel appreciated, especially at the moment. Have an Appreciation Day where you dedicate the whole day to appreciation!

In a few weeks the new story begins – are you feeling the urge for a better future rising in you? Good. How lucky are we to be here now to help shape and form this new story, this new future.

#Repost @kristinodijk with @use.repost ・・・ Taurus Full Mooners & Lunar Eclipsers, can you be here, right now? You know your nervous system doesn’t like it one bit when you race ahead. Drop into your body. Let your physical presence ground you. Feeling weighted will make you feel lighter. Breathe too. This Full Moon in sense-based Taurus is a full sensory experience. Lunar Eclipses always come with a jumped-up, anticipatory feeling. The Taurus Moon, almost landing on Uranus, amplifies and electrifies that sensation. Uranus has a direct line to your authenticity. To who you were put on this planet to be. It cuts through all the BS and is the changemaker we need, but it never changes for change’s sake. It changes to free you, not to hurt you. Thoughtful Mercury, the Sun and values-based Venus opposite in deeply transformative Scorpio make this eclipse very personal, affecting what we identify with, are attached to and stuck within ~ from a mindset point of view. Saturn to the side gives serious weight to the idea that a change in perspective is needed if we’re to get back on track emotionally. Because we know our emotions affect everything. Taurus is a lover but not a lover of change. It covets comfort but craves simplicity, and above all, needs security and stability. This stellar planetary line-up shakes it all up. Altering the reality we centre ourselves in could be the most positive and liberating thing we do for our sensitive selves. The process can be uncomfortable and confronting, so let's do it Taurus style and keep it simple. We’ll put down our phones and find inspiration in the natural world. We'll live our own reality instead of someone else’s. Be content with our own little big lives! We’ll press pause when our thoughts aren’t helping us and gently come back to ourselves, cosying up to our hearts and self-talking in our own love language. Little, incremental changes that could make such a difference, just by looking up and coming to our senses. So freaking simple it’s almost a joke. It could be the smartest and kindest move we make. Much love changemakers♥️ Image via @alainmikliparis
#Repost @kristinodijk with @use.repos ・・・ Scorpio New Mooners & Solar Eclipsers, what do you see? I see the Moon as our heart and it’s passing between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blinding us. It’s in this darkness we can see what needs to be seen. Here and now, it’s our unconscious patterning that’s waiting to be revealed. It’s not hard to see those patterns if you let yourself look for them. Pleasing patterns would be great but it’s the sticky ones that are coming up for me, the traits that have me wobbly and unsure. Scorpionic in flavour, we’re talking patterns based around our relationship with honesty, trust, integrity. It doesn’t matter if you’re partnered or not, your longest term relationship is with yourself, so we’re all in this, all with patterns to be exposed. The first step is getting conscious. You’ve got to see to believe. Then it’s accepting, bargaining, surrendering, releasing etc. Kind of like the seven stages of grief. Felt in no particular order and sometimes all in one day, one hour… So what do you see? Venus is here so your self-worth and values will be absolutely in the spotlight. Thoughtful Mercury brings contemplation and clarity. It’s quite the cocktail and there’s a lot to think about. The real intensifier comes from Pluto rubbing it in just enough to create friction and get some action, of the transformative kind. In this emotionally lit space we’re learning to feel our way around trust, to trust ourselves. To trust that we can be the person we claim to be, that we want to be. To trust that we know when a pattern has served us and when it’s time to let go. If a pattern isn’t serving you, it’s not here for you. See it, believe it, acknowledge and release it. Scorpio will let us get away with no less. It dives in and won’t come up for air until it’s satisfied the job is done. That’s a lot. A lot of energy and emotion. Emotional renovations and excavations can be tiring, and emotional! Please don’t push those patterns down. Get them up and out. 'Up and out.' Let that be your mantra. Give yourself a break, lots of breaks. You’re doing your best and that’s the best you can do.

FULL MOON in Aquarius August 15th 2019~ MYSTIC MAMMA

*FULL MOON* in AQUARIUS

August 15th 2019 5:30 am PDT |

1:30 pm BST | 11:30 PM AEDT

★

*FULL MOON* in Aquarius alchemizes the cauldron of our humanity.

Within this axis, Aquarius (humanitarian) and Leo (Self), we become the change.

It’s easy to focus on others, but if we keep our focus on our Self and do what we feel moved to do, we create space for others to be informed and inspired by our actions and be led by their own free will, rather than through any kind of pressure or intimidation.

This Aquarius FULL MOON encourages us to witness what is being illuminated and unhinge from the ties of public opinion to continue to unfurl who we truly are.

We are in an evolutionary time that is encouraging us to embody our true essence.

Everything is shifting right now, and it is a time to access higher mind and take a broad wide view. These are the keys that open the doors to new perception.

Our thoughts create our world. That is the frontier.

And so as we continue to expand our own thinking and ways of seeing, we help turn the tide.

Discomfort has things she wants to share with us, invite her for a cup of tea, listen and witness.

As we embark on new ground, we might not be able to map the coordinates or know how to get from where we’ve been to where we are going, but that will come.

Right now it’s about clearly seeing, integrating and bringing a compassionate view to our multi-dimensional landscape.

Here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights from our beloved featured astrologers:

SARAH VARCAS from her Astro-Awakenings.co.uk shares:

“This moon reminds us we don’t have to believe a single thought or subscribe to any belief unless we choose to.

“And we must choose with great care, for what occupies our mind also shapes our life.

“If we can simply sit in silent witness of all our mental meanderings at this moon, we can create the space around our thoughts which allows us to just be: watching them without believing them. Assessing their value before committing to them.

“It’s often said that ‘where attention goes, energy flows’.

“This moon refines that statement. It’s not the fact of placing attention that holds the power, but the quality of the attention applied.

“If we attend to painful feelings with a mind that feeds off the drama and identifies with the pain then yes, our attention is problematic.

“If, however, we bring to difficult issues a softened heart, a compassionate perspective, patience, insight and a desire to know our true nature, we don’t have to look away from what challenges us.

“…There’s a fair bit of tension around, so cutting each other (and ourselves) some serious slack is good advice.

“If possible, avoid heated topics of debate and focus on things that unite rather than divide, otherwise it may be all too easy to slip into overzealous championing of our own perspective with no consideration of someone else’s view….

“Avoid the tendency to act out rather than turn within…

“Uranus, the Great Awakener and ruler of Aquarius, uses sudden twists of fate to rouse us from the deceptive slumbers of assuming we know who we are…

“Now retrograde, it’s rearranging our inner world to illuminate those roots – stories we tell ourselves; beliefs that shape our perceptions; dogma absorbed from others; mental constructs perceived as truth.

“These beliefs, thoughts, feelings, behaviour patterns and perspectives are traps we unwittingly set on our own path of awakening.

“In the coming five months Uranus retrograde will reveal the inner roots of our ‘fated’ lives, in which we’re mysteriously confronted by the very circumstances that force us to draw upon ever deeper levels of the Self.

“While this Full Moon reminds us that overcoming external limitations is one thing, but only by removing inner barriers are we truly free.”

© Copyright 2019 SARAH VARCAS

LEAH WHITEHORSE from her LUA Astrology.com:

“At this Full Moon, we are coming to decisions or in crisis over issues connected to group connections, politics, friends and wider society.

“The Moon itself not only opposes the Sun in Leo, but also Venus, Juno and Mars.

“The Moon in Aquarius needs everyone to cool down, to allow everyone a say, to support one another and celebrate each other’s differences.

Full Moon is Thursday, August 15 2019 at 10:29 pm- Lena Stevens The Power Path

This is a good day for balance and choice. You can find yourself either in the basement with no windows but a sense of familiarity and security, OR you can go to up to the penthouse where you are more exposed and vulnerable but the view is way better. So if you find yourself in the “dumps” and feeling gloomy, unworthy, out of sorts with yourself and others, overburdened with responsibilities that are not yours, evaluate your life to see what you need. It is important not to get into the blame game as that never leads to the penthouse. Set some new intentions for yourself today as well as new or different boundaries if necessary.

This is also a very social time but choose carefully who you are around The container of this full moon is excellent for dreaming big, new and different. Share some inspiration with others. What do you want your life to look life to look like in a year? In five years? What if?

Blessings,

Lena

Leo New Moon Cycle

New Moon

Sun in Leo ~ Moon in Leo 8º

Wednesday, July 31, 9:11 PM Mountain Daylight Time

(Thursday, August 1, 3:11 AM Greenwich Mean Time)

Full Moon

Sun in Leo ~ Moon in Aquarius 22º

Thursday, August 15, 6:29 AM Mountain Daylight Time

(Thursday, August 15, 12:29 PM Greenwich Mean Time)

Leo Moon cycle is grounded in creativity, leading with our hearts, and a strong urge for self-expression. None of the rough edges of emotional intensity from passing through the eclipse window in a feeling-based sign, Cancer, (connected with family, nourishment, mother, home and ancestral patterns) will be rearing its head. The Sun is no longer with the North/South Nodes and is in a warm, inspiring fire sign now. Fire lifts our spirits and ignites action.

Venus is conjunct the Leo Sun and will magnify the pleasurable and sensual aspects of leading with our hearts. Leo rules the heart and the spine. Leo radiates warmth and the deep “I Am” presence rejoicing in their creative abilities. Filled with pride for all that they are, they generously share themselves and the Spirit that radiates through them for all to appreciate and admire. Leo is the power expression of fire and they can stand in the spot light with ease and grasp and wield the attention they receive. Leo is regal, the King of Beasts, a leader. Only Leo is ruled by the life-giving Sun and this bestows vitality, strength and a great passion for life. Leo, wherever it lies in your chart, will bring a quality of positive attitude, generosity, courage, determination, and a social warm-heartedness. On the shadow side, watch out for that indomitable ego, pomposity, and impulsive judgment ~ not good qualities in a leader. Arrogance can mask a ‘cowardly lion’ needing to disguise parts of the self that feel powerless.

We do have a Grand Trine in fire signs with Chiron, our healer/teacher at 5ºAries, Venus in Leo 5º with Sun/Moon fueling our Queen energy, and Ceres, a Mother Goddess and Keeper of the Grains, 1º Sagittarius. Self-confidence, creativity, and inspired actions are supported. All you have to do is find your inner fire and channel it.

There is one caveat to the Grand Trine in fire signs as inspiring as it is, Uranus is squaring Venus (and Moon/Sun) kicking up restlessness, challenging authority, and wanting freedom to break out of the social mold, and roar from our wild place. We may prowl around for some excitement in relationship. Think twice about redecorating under this influence; eccentricity is high. You can expect the Unexpected to the 10th power. Uranus brings radical change; with Venus involved look to your relationships as a focus for shake up and renewal. Uranus is strong now because it’s at a standstill ready to turn retrograde.

The theme for July 2019 is Friction ~ Mysticmamma

Here is the Energetic theme of the month channeled by the wonderful LENA STEVENS from The Power Path.com:

“Friction is caused by two hard surfaces grinding against each other, the resistance then producing a spark capable of ignition.

“The hard surfaces in this case can be anything from old calcified belief systems meeting new truths that challenge actual experiences, to discussions from polar positions that turn heated and argumentative, to new exciting desires and intentions that meet old fear patterns of resistance.

“July is a ‘hot’ month of intensity channeled either into positive conceptions, ideas and bursts of creative energy or into irritation, damaging aggression and explosive destruction. The choice is obviously yours.

“You will need to pay attention and monitor closely how you react and use this friction as well as setting good boundaries against those who are not using it so well. (helpful audio this month is Jose’s “How to Deal with Meltdowns”)

“Friction is necessary to ignite a new spark, a new fire that will fuel something new in your life. However, if you do not focus this energy, it will burn up more than you bargained for.

“The image is that of two pieces of wood that are used to create a spark that can be used to build a fire.

“Fire was a revolutionary discovery for the human experience. It can be used to cook food, keep warm and to nurture your personal environment. It can also be deadly when it gets out of control and burns everything in its path.

“The ignition from tension and friction this month should be used very wisely.

“Be present and aware of what is causing it in your life and how it can support change and fuel new projects, relationships and improvements.

“If you are passive, in denial or allow others to take over, it may not go so well. So, set your boundaries and protection but at the same time, look to your own inner friction and allow it to ignite something that will have a positive outcome.

“This can be an exceptionally creative month especially if you focus on what is ahead instead of what is behind you.

“Keep your eyes on the door on the other side of the room of ten thousand distractions and you will stay on the golden line.

“You can also use this month for helping to clear, dissolve, and transform the things in your life that need to evolve to a higher state.

Lunar ECLIPSE Full Moon in Capricorn July 16th 2019 ~ MYSTIC MAMMA

LUNAR ECLIPSE

*FULL MOON* in Capricorn

July 16th 2019 2:38 pm PDT |

10:38 pm BST | July 17th 8:38 AM AEDT

★

This Lunar Eclipse FULL MOON on the Capricorn/Cancer axis vibrates on the theme of personal authority, guiding us back to our seat of power.

It illuminates the ley lines of our life choices, asking us to clearly see what has been driving them.

Beneath it all, have our choices been based on a need to stay safe? Or propelled by social approval and acceptance? Or perhaps have they been unconsciously bound to some old programming that has been passed down for generations?

Right now they are being realigned to emerge from the direct fount of our own truth and knowing.

We are here to discover that DEEPER WELL, that Life Source that is the Source of all true power.

It can never be taken away or diminished, it is the primal essence of who we are. And we are individually and collectively moving toward that reconnaissance, reclaiming and tapping that purity of essence, that brings us back into alignment with who we are and our place in the whole of Life.

We can feel vulnerable and raw as we are stepping out of old constructs into new perceptions and experiences of life, but we are pioneers of consciousness and that is what we are here to do.

As a means of survival and protection, we have made choices based on what would keep us safe and secure. And part of us wants to stay where we have been, but another part of us is pulling us into the new.

So on multiple levels this is what is emerging.

We can trust the wisdom of our hearts. We can dive deep beneath the world of appearances, beneath the masks we wear, to find ourselves, and find our way back home to our seat of power on Mother Earth who holds us.

Remember we are not what we look like, or how much money we make, or what we do, or how many followers we have etc. Who we are is much more than any of those outer garments. We know this.

So we are rewiring how we operate in this outer world, so we can make our choices based on the real.

Here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights from featured guiding lights…

LEAH WHITEHORSE from her LUA Astrology says:

“As the Moon represents emotions, we could feel like a fish out of water, exposed, raw, tender and yet still we must do what needs to be done…

“Both Saturn and Pluto are insistent that old structures (Saturn) must change (Pluto).

“Working at its best, the Moon in Capricorn is mature in the face of gravity, consistent despite fear.

“Even if we’re way out of our comfort zone (Sun in Cancer), we’re required to face up to the truth, deal with consequences and manage ourselves effectively…

“As the Earth’s shadow falls across the face of the Moon, unconscious material materializes. Old karmic lessons surface. Reality sets in, bringing us to a conclusion or crisis to clear the way ahead…

“And yet note Venus’s proximity to the North Node. This close conjunction is like a quiet reassuring hug from the cosmos that whispers, keep your heart open and you will find your way.”

From SARAH VARCAS from her Astro.Awakenings.co.uk shares:

“With the Sun at the North Node and the Moon at the South Node, this eclipse warns against the sacrifice of inner knowing in favour of external authority.

“Pluto conjunct the Moon, with Saturn also in Capricorn, emphasizes the power and influence of received wisdom which keeps us locked into old beliefs and patterns of behaviour.

Full Moon with a partial Lunar Eclipse is Wednesday, July 17th at 4.30am - Powerpath

Although this eclipse is only a partial one, the energy may in fact feel more intense than the last one. It is the completion of the bookended time of powerful opportunity for taking responsibility for your own evolution including the clearing of old patterns, attachments and beliefs.

This last couple of weeks have included the best of times and the worst of times, stretching us through challenge and crisis to expand beyond what we considered possible. Our inner and outer worlds have been shaken up, sometimes in positive directions of new and inspiring opportunities, and sometimes through challenges leading to dismantling sections of a life we were familiar with. The aftermath of this will continue through out the rest of month. Remember that friction is necessary to ignite change and evolution.

We have been encouraged to tell the truth and reconfigure our intentions to fit a new paradigm. This is a crucial time for us as a species on the planet. Change is inevitable and it has to begin from within.

This moon supports spiritual expansion, awakening and anchoring of new and disciplined intentions helping us to move into change instead of away from it. If crisis comes your way, see it as an opportunity. Most importantly, tell the truth about what is most important to you and allow yourself to embrace it, feel it and live it.

Blessings,

Lena

ASTROLOGICAL NOTES:

Please note that the Astrological Notes cover the whole moon cycle from New Moon on July 2 until July 30. Full moon info is contained within the report.

CANCER NEW MOON CYCLE ~ JULY 2-JULY 30

Sun and Moon in Cancer 10º

Total Solar Eclipse

Tuesday, July 2

1:16 pm Mountain Daylight Time/(7:16 pm GMT)

Capricorn Full Moon 24º

Partial Lunar Eclipse

Tuesday, July 16

3:38 pm Mountain Daylight Time/(9:38 pm GMT)

FULL MOON and CAPRICORN LUNAR ECLIPSE on Tuesday, July 16th at 24º is a continuation of the New Moon’s growing pains to push us deeper and reach higher. When many astrologers did their 2019 yearly forecasts, this is the month and eclipse window they pointed to for Big Change!

This may be the stronger of the two eclipses as Pallas Athena in Libra exactly squares the North/South Nodes at 17º Cancer/Capricorn lighting up the themes of home and career, inner and outer worlds. At the same time, Eris in Aries, our feminine spiritual warrior, goddess of discord, exactly squares the Sun and Moon at 24º Cancer/Capricorn. Eris is known for stirring up controversy that leads to a resettling of circumstances in a whole new way. Squares help us bring into awareness what needs to be dealt with to clear obstacles to our progress. Pallas may serve up an inspiration that makes your relationships and business arrangements work more cooperatively. Eris on the other hand may precipitate a blowout that in the end clears the air.

SPIRIT May 01, 2019 - Claire East

There is a level of perfection within your soul that cannot be distorted by your mind or your karma, your dharma or yourself. That is the eternal bit of you; the rest of you and all that happens in daily life and how you respond to that, is potential learning, potential greatness, potential joy, potential love and so on, all of which can eventually be added to the eternal bit of you. The eternal bit of you is your True Self. Remember that as we move forward this year.

As we finish with the ‘old ways’ there is a dynamic unfolding of Spirit to urge us into the new. This spiritual surge makes the energies strong, deliberate, unfolding, transformative and decided. We experience this as being ‘all over the place,’ sometimes feeling ‘up’ and excited, or overwhelmed and resistant to EVERYTHING.

We are in transition. Its never easy.

One way to balance your restless spirit, your transitional spiritual self, is to be in Nature more, outdoors, breathing in the air, breathing in the new, breathing in the spirit. Consciously connecting with the Earth, and all that she has given.

Matter is an incarnation of Spirit. Earth is an incarnation of Spirit. Does that knowing change how we treat our beloved Earth, and its plants, flowers, fruits, oceans, animals, humans?

Mantra: I AM EARTH

Claire East

Full Moon is on Sunday, May 19th at 7.11am - The Power Path

Use the portal of this full moon to experience something more fully. Take time to become more aware, expand your senses, your intuition, and reach for more beauty joy and love. What attachment that keeps you small and limited will you have to give up to reach this new level?

It is a great time for community exchanges, sharing ideas, and getting inspired by possibilities and opportunities. Beware of extreme idealism or getting lost is dreamy theory. Expansion and thinking outside the box is great but reel it in to something more practical so it can take hold as the seed that needs to be firmly planted in the soil. It is still important to be grounded and work with the earth, being fed by the very real energy of nature. Gratitude!

Blessings,

Lena

Scorpio Full Moon

Sun in Taurus ~ Moon in Scorpio 27º

Saturday, May 18 3:11 PM Mountain Daylight Time

(Saturday, May 18, 9:11 PM Greenwich Mean Time)

We reach culmination of the Taurus cycle with the Full Moon in the water element power sign of Scorpio. Each of the four elements has one power sign, the ‘fixed’ sign: earth-Taurus, air-Aquarius, fire-Leo, water-Scorpio. These signs consolidate power and distribute it out to others – generosity is their signature because the power must be given so flow and abundance are created. Scorpio represents the power of the feminine, of emotional power, the yin power, the power of going inward, of receiving and connecting. Scorpio was traditionally ruled by Mars, but as we and our solar system have evolved and expanded, Scorpio is now ruled by Pluto, God of the Underworld, and possesses the power of transformation, death and rebirth. Scorpio holds the power of desire, sexuality and the deep tantric merging with another. Scorpio is also where our deep, psychological shamanic healing power resides. We all have Scorpio somewhere in our chart and that is where our healer energy lies. Scorpio has no fear of the darker, shadowy regions of the psyche and is wired for the emotional confrontations necessary to bring forth what is stagnant and needing to be exposed to bring forth emotional flow. The bright light of this Scorpio Moon will shine on anything that is hidden or beneath the surface, anything needing to be transformed.

NEW MOON in Aries April 5th 2019~ MYSTIC MAMMA

There have been so many powerful planetary placements recently pushing us through the birthing canal. We are in the midst of birthing our truest selves more than ever before, but this journey is something!

The scope of what’s been happening energetically for a lot of us, is that whatever feelings we have been ignoring and repressing can no longer be brushed aside, for they are rising strongly within us.

We are needing to face what we truly feel, so we can allow our truth to be released.

Our emotions are informing and guiding us and we need to listen to what is coming forth from our Soul.

There is some part of us that perhaps has been conforming to fit some kind of expectation or idea, or trying to live up to some societal conditioning but we can no longer do it.

There is a diamond part of us that is trying to emerge.

This passage is not easy, for it involves facing our deepest fears, and those things we have not wanted to face but have felt imprisoned by. And part of these fears often have to do with not wanting to disappoint others and wanting to be approved of so we can stay safe and secure. But we can no longer deny the truth of our hearts.

Many of us have have been either unconsciously conditioned or chosen external orientation/approval as our Axis point, but now our Axis is shifting, and like I shared before our allegiance is turning toward the One within.

This is an evolutionary turning point, and we are each individually and collectively having to reorient our Axis internally to come into better/healthier alignment with who we truly are, what we need and value, and what we are here to do on our short and precious Earthwalk!

We are finding our courage in knowing that our honesty/vulnerability is our redeeming strength, what we feel deep down is valid, and we are valiantly moving forward with our hearts like lanterns guiding us through the darkness.

Here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights gathered from our beloved interpreters of the tides…

The wonderful ROBERT WILKINSON from his Aquarius Papers says:

“While last month’s New Moon marked the beginning of the end of many things, this one finishes that phase, and continues to give us a vast sense of our greater evolutionary connectedness within ourselves and with others on our Path.

“This Lunation puts us at a threshold of compressed endings with the beginning of a new potency and potential...

“Because of the heavy Pisces emphasis, Divine Grace will come forth for those who know how to forgive much and allow it to flow down the timestream.”

LEAH WHITEHORSE from her LUA Astrology shares:

“The New Moon squares the conjunction between Saturn and Pluto on the South Node in Capricorn. Right now, there is no escaping the consequences of past actions…

“Pluto’s involvement in this picture pushes us to face our fears instead of trying to run from them in the hope that they won’t catch up. We need to slow down, consider the problem and approach it with maturity…

“More complicated is the Moon’s very wide opposition to Pallas, herself squaring the Nodes, Saturn and Pluto. Diplomatic relations right now are strained but work together we must.

PILLAR OF LIGHT March 31, 2019 - Claire East

Most people seem to be going through quite a lot at the moment, it has been in many ways a very challenging time.  We all seem to be in a hurry to call down all our unresolved karma and harmonize it all at once.  As if we are preparing for something in the future, and our soul wants us to learn and release a lot of very old baggage.

What we are preparing for Solstice 2020, that is, 21 December 2020, the beginning.

To help yourself and others through this preparation time, and the karmic challenges that may face you, we need to use what we have.  Light.  Divine Light. 

The power of Light, spiritual light, is growing day by day.  It wasn’t always so, in the distant past it took great concentration and intention to work with the Light, and gather it to oneself, or harness it.  Now, it’s easier, but we don’t understand this, or we’ve forgotten how to use it.

Your Higher Self is always connected to the Light, and you can call the Light, the radiant beautiful spiritual light to yourself at all times, it comes in through your Higher Self.

We think of using or visualizing light around us, or our loved ones, as a form of protection, and it does work, but actually if you call the Light to yourself, especially using the IAM (for example, say: “I AM LIGHT and I connect with my Higher Self”) what happens is that the light energy that connects to you is so strong it raises the vibration of everything in and around you, and that’s why it is protective.  

You can call the spiritual light to yourself and then radiate the light out intentionally from your whole being, or it can be focussed out through your eyes, or through your hands into others by touch. Intention is important. Light can be sent from yourself to anything, you can send it to an area of your body that needs healing, or to your future, or to your past, to your karmic contract, to other people and animals, plants, trees, pets, for their highest good.  You can send it to your purpose, to your mind, to your emotions, to your career, to your studies, even to your bank account!  Always finish this process by saying you are sending this light ‘under grace, and for the highest good.’  

If you are challenged at the moment, try sending the spiritual light to whatever is challenging for you.  

It is also good to visualize, feel, or say to yourself, ‘I AM A PILLAR OF LIGHT’ and see yourself standing in a powerful radiant ‘pillar of beautiful light’ coming down from the heavens through you and into the earth.  You will feel strong, centred, and more at ease.

Mantra: I AM A PILLAR OF LIGHT

Lovingly,

Claire East

A New Season::: Equinox + Full Moon in Libra March 20th 2019~ MysticMamma

So on this potent ++++ EQUINOX ++++ Full Moon in Libra, SuperMoon, Aligned with the Galactic Center, beginning of Astrological New year at Zero Aries point with so many other potent activating alignments, here are the MM Astral Insights from a few of our beloved guiding lights…

PAT LILES from The Power Path.com says:

“We not only have the powerful Sun in balance with the Earth, but the Moon in the sign of balance and harmony in Libra.

“What will you do with such an auspicious start to this season? When you find yourself on the other side of this transition time about two years from now at Equinox 2021 – what do you want your life to feel like, what do you want to be doing, and who with?

“What are you releasing to make way for the new? Now is the time to initiate and strengthen those threads…

“Chiron is also highly influential here riding within a degree of the Sun at 1º Aries… Chiron is not only the ‘wounded healer’. It also calls in the teacher/mentor, sharing the medicine and wisdom they have earned from their life experiences and challenges.

“Chiron, a centaur, half animal half human, has lineage in the instinctual realms, the nature realms, linking us to the natural world with support from the animal, plant, mineral and deva kingdoms.

“In the solar system, it sits between Saturn, the physical, and Uranus, the intuitive aspects of our psyches. Chiron is a wild, unconforming maverick walking his own way in the world responsive to his instincts, connected to nature, sensitive and wise.

“Chiron is often prominent when a major transition requires a big decision – maybe a hybrid decision – the best under taxing circumstances…

“A conjunction with Black Moon Lilith and Venus reinforces and mirrors the Sun/Chiron conjunction in expressing our instinctual selves… being true to the self despite the pressures to be acceptable and fit in with the status quo, walking our own true path unwilling to see ourselves as victims, claiming our wholeness and fire.

“Underlying all the energy of rebirthing that Aries brings is still a strong current of surrendering and releasing the old – millenniums worth of old…. We’re finishing up and releasing loooong cycles here.”

ROBERT WILKINSON from his Aquarius Papers says:

“The Eclipses have begun their work of removing and recycling anything which helps clear the way for a more ‘light and bright’ heart expression…

“See what has ended and what’s beginning. Use your feelings to see a bigger picture, and use your powers of synthesis to see how your feelings and relationships will lead you to a vaster vision or understanding…

“While this is sure to be a highly decisive and active season, remember to build in a Mercury retrograde ‘delay’ where you can evaluate the information or understanding from multiple angles, and if you need to, rehearse scenarios before you leap into action.

“We’re all being led to a form of social rebirth and healing, so practice expressing your Higher Self, even if you don’t feel very strong or confident. You get to express your Higher Self in your own way on your own terms, so be gentle as you move into a new stabilized form of self-expression.

“The coming 13 weeks will help us adjust so our personality strengths can find effective expression, with new allegiances and vistas calling us to move in new directions.

“Our old life is already over; this gives us a look back to see the wisdom in what ended and why, and how to move into a new form of self-expression which will be the vehicle for us to demonstrate Cosmic Power in the near future.

“The next 13 weeks can bring a vaster compassion, understanding, and connectedness with life, relationships, and Self, accept the blessings and happiness which await those who embrace Jupiter’s dance with the rest of life!
