    With conflict and pain ruled Mars in Venus loving Libra square to abundance and growth oriented Jupiter in Cancer, today requires action and could be prompted from an uncomfortable situation where we feel very passionately although we may act as if we feel  neutral. When relating with others it's best to act more intentionally and from our true values. If not already aligned with our values, today is a good day to check in with our personal philosophy and beliefs to see how our actions line up with those beliefs. If we really intend to create harmony and see situations from a diplomatic and unbiased place, we must constantly practice taking this perspective.     Often times it's easy to be a martyr or blame others for disharmony or discontent but ultimately we must check in with ourselves first. How am I perpetuating conflict or contributing to it in ways that aren't aligned with my true beliefs?     With the moon in Aquarius, we may feel the impul...

            There's no better time than right now to take a moment to slow down and check in with where you're at and where you are heading. How long have you been driving on auto-pilot? Are you even heading to where you set out to go, or are you just taking the familiar path home and to work?      Although it might feel like things are busier than ever, or there's this growing pressure building whenever you think ahead, now is truly the time to take a moment and rest in order to re-align and focus on the task at hand. Maybe you're like me and you've been focusing on too many things at once, getting lost in your to-do list or avoiding it all together. Or maybe you're not a master procrastinator like me, and just need a little water break to refuel your tanks and keep going.  Whatever it is you need to do, take a moment to prepare before taking action. Don't just keep doing whatever you've been doing if it isn't working or building t...

 The question that comes to my mind when I think of this planet Mars, that represents action, passion and conflict, moving from watery Cancer into the fire sign Leo today is, " What was I running from and what  am I really fighting for?"       Since this transit is occurring after Mars moved from 6 degrees Leo back to 17 degrees Cancer in it's retrograde it represents the energetic rebirth that comes from reflecting and facing our feelings and patterns with the healing rays of love and honesty. It's realizing the power that comes with being vulnerable enough to change and still face all of ourselves in the mirror with love, choosing courageously to bear our heart and take action to protect what we whole heartedly believe in.      While in Cancer Mars was in what's known as its fall and is considered debilitated. While Mars is in retrograde it's a good idea to take time to reflect and review the areas of our lives we are noticing conflict...

         As we watched the world as we know it shift before our eyes recently, slowly and yet quickly at the same time, after this New Moon in Sagittarius, sextile to Pluto, there could be more energy supporting our collective and personal transformation. We might feel motivated and passionate about big ideas or this significant new beginning in our philosophy or mindset.       With the Sun and the Moon aligned in the fire sign Sagittarius who is ruled by Jupiter, we might feel a fire under our butts to get take action, express ourselves, study and learn new things and explore innovative ideas that could transform the world around us. Jupiter is all about expansion, creation and growth.    Take a moment today if you haven't already, reconnect with yourself by  looking out  at where you are right now and then  beyond  to where you would like to be or how you could shift it to be more fulfilling. This is an opportu...

    Summertime commences with a gorgeous full moon in Capricorn, the first of two during this Cancer season. Normally while the sun moves through each sign, there will be one new moon in the sign of the season (in this case Cancer) and one full moon in it's opposite sign (refer to the tiny moon pictured to the far left, opposite to the setting sun on the right). This year we get a double dose of full moon energy in the sign of Capricorn, and since Cancer is ruled by the moon, its influence is more potent than usual.     Every full moon is a time of illumination and reflecting on the past so we can release anything no longer serving our current goal or highest good. This moon cycle also happens to be the exact midpoint to the year so we are being called to look back at where all the time has gone this year and all the past versions of ourselves that no longer align with who we are now, or who we are working to become.     Cancer and the moon both repres...

       Change is always in the air isn't it? Even when we can't feel it, we know the air around us is swirling, even as we just breathe in and out, it's spiraling quietly in all directions all the time. Funny how it's only when there's a big shift in the breeze that we can actually feel and sense it's change in direction. Gusts of wind suddenly blowing our hair out of our eyes long enough to breathe, lift our arms and maybe even feel weightless. And just the same, when it's whirling all around us making dust devils in the pollen that gets dirt in our eyes, we feel overwhelmed and curse it for pushing us in too many directions at once.     Gemini is the most adaptable and change oriented sign of the zodiac, making this new moon all about embracing the shifting winds of change instead of fighting against it, being taken along with it or attaching to any one situation, idea or moment. This New Moon is asking us to slow down and observe the changes occurring a...
