December 2014 Astro-Weather

We start off the month with a warm and toasty fire trine between the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Aires. This trine sets the tone for Mars to leave Capricorn and move into Aquarius on the 4th. When Mars is in Aquarius technology, community and all modes of communication are highlighted. 

On the 6th we have the Full Moon in Gemini. This makes us extra social and talkative even with people we don’t know. The Full Moon is always about completing projects, finding resolutions to problems and closure but in Gemini you may not have to do it alone! Two heads are better than one, as they say.

Starting Monday the 8th Jupiter in Leo goes into a four month Retrograde. This is a time that the focus turns more on work and less on play and recreational activities. This is a great time to focus on your body and your diet if any changes need to be made. On December 10th Venus moves into Capricorn making things a little more serious. But not to fear because a lovely Fine Trine starts warming up again on the 11th. 

Mercury moves into Capricorn making it much easier to have professional conversations starting the 15th. Later that week Venus and Pluto meet up for their once a year get together. Use this meet up to transform your love relationships and money!

This Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st which is of course the Winter Solstice. This year is extra special because it lands on the New Moon which is also in Capricorn and marks the end of Uranus in Retrograde! There are new beginnings coming in all areas of life at the end of this year. 

Hallelujah Saturn moves into Sagittarius on December 23!! It has been in Scorpio for two years and were all ready to move on! This will allow some of the restrictions in life to lift allowing for fun, parities and adventures! What a way to end 2014! 

Until Next Year

My Grounding Techniques

My Personal Grounding Technique

Grounding is a technique to use when things are chaotic to keep you centered. With the holidays coming up this is a perfect stress-relieving technique that is quick and will leave you feeling focused. Grounding is associated with your Root Chakra. This is the red chakra at the base of your spine. Its where everything begins and everything is connected. 

There are tons of different ways to ground the following are just my personal methods. I highly recommend you research other ways and find what works best for you. 

My first technique is called Shotgunning:

This is great for a thought you cant get out of your mind or for getting rid of stressful things in your life. 

Close your eyes and relax your body. Visualize an object, whatever comes to mind, I usually see a rose or a diamond. Fill up that object with any stress or negative energy you want to get rid of. Let your object glow with the power of your thoughts until your ready to let go. Pull up the shotgun to your shoulder, aim carefully AND BLOW YOUR OBJECT AWAY! When I do this it usually looks like fireworks shining bright then fizzling out. Try this technique the next time something is under your skin and tell me you don’t feel better after a few shots!

For my less violent readers my next technique is called Growing Roots

If at all possible do this one outside! Get in a comfortable position with the base of your feet touching the earth. Imagine you are a mighty tree. Feel your branches stretching out and your leaves soaking up the sun. As a mighty tree your roots reach deep into the earth. When your roots have grown as far and as deep as they can go, imagine all of your energy flushing through your body from your head all the way down to your roots. Let the energy seep from your roots into the Earth to be absorbed. Do this until you feel you have cycled all of your energy. Relax and enjoy your connection with the earth. This has an amazing effect on me especially when I’m angry or frustrated. 

Another great way to stay grounded is by carrying crystals that are meant to ground and center you or absorb negative energy! Here are some recommended crystals for grounding:

*Obsidian

*Red Tigers Eye

*Black Tourmaline

*Smokey Quartz

*Hematite or my personal favorite Rainbow Hematite 

Do you have techniques you use? Id love to hear them!

November! Thank God You're Here.

October has been BANANNAs to say the least. There was that pesky mercury retrograde thwarting us at every turn and everything just seemed busy, busy, busy! My husband and I finally closed on our house but WOW was it hard work to get it done! Im excited to pass out candy in our new house to all the neighborhood kids! Bring on the costumes and I will not cheap out on the candy…Deal? 

What I really want to talk about is November! For some reason I usually dread this month, but this year it couldn't come fast enough. Ive decided I'm going to write a monthly astrology overview so you and I know what is coming up! This is my first time doing an entire month overview so bare with me. So, lets get to it! 

November 6th we have a full moon in Taurus. This should bring us some steady, practical energy to settle us down from the crazy energy we had to deal with last month. This is the time to finish projects, check off your to-do lists and resolve anything that has been bothering you. 

Mercury moves into Scorpio on the 8th so be careful with your words, they really can sting! This lasts until November 27th when Mercury follows the sun into Sagittarius.

On Monday November 10th, Mars and Pluto meet up in the sky. This is the God of War and the God of Death meeting up to duke it out…so control your rage and take a deep breath when your starting to feel overworked and stressed out. A Venus and Saturn meet up the next day on November 11th, reminding us to take responsibility for our actions, especially in the area of love. 

On Saturday November 15th, Neptune goes direct after a 5 month retrograde! This is great because some of the “fog” starts to clear and we can see a clear path to what we want. On the 16th Venus moves into Sagittarius making every thing in life feel brighter and more fun! 

The Sun and Saturn meet up on November 18th, which is the equivalent to a strict father showing up to your banging party bringing all the fun to a screeching halt. Its not fun, but take the opportunity to get your shit together. Saturn is your biggest ally for making something out of nothing. 

Expect Saturday the 22nd to be an awesome day as the Sun moves in to Sagittarius. With the New Moon also in Sagittarius it is time to plan your next adventure. Plant the seeds of what you want to manifest and it will be yours, but always be careful what you wish for. 

Mercury and Saturn meet up on November 25th and things get a little heavy. All of our cups sometimes get too full and start to feel like a burden. Remember to cleanse your energy and use a grounding technique. This is a short lived aspect so know that there is light at the end of this short tunnel. 

On Thanksgiving Day, Mercury goes into Sagittarius making us jolly and optimistic in all things. There are plenty things to be thankful for on this great day. 

The last 3 days of the month are quiet and calm, a good buffer for the holidays to come in December. 

Hopefully this has been helpful, Im planning to print mine out and keep it in my planner. I love staying current with the tides in the sky!

New Moon in Virgo 8.25.14

I don't know about you, but ever since the Sun moved in to Virgo on the 22nd I have been a lean, mean, cleaning machine! Organizing everything. I have this way of making a bigger mess as Im trying to clean. Sometimes I just have to pull all of my clothes out of my over stuffed dresser and start over...sometimes i have to dust. SOMETIMES. New moon in virgo is one of those times. 

I have made several lists over the last couple of days AND marked quite a few things off of them! (thats my favorite part)

 I guess you could say I'm feeling accomplished. I am a woman on a mission. Kicking ass and taking names. Hey September! Im ready for you.

Venus and Jupiter are both in Leo so now is a time of supreme awesomeness, take advantage. Do things that make your heart feel good like making out and donating to charity. Love in all its forms are welcomed when Venus is in Leo. Think big! Get creative. Make a plan and watch it unfold with the help of Sun in Virgo. Health goals are especially attainable during this time. Hydrate, stretch, and heal.

Jupiter in Leo 07/17/2014

All of my soul friend already know what this is about because I've been talking about it for weeks now but I wanted to go ahead and make a post explaining what exactly that means.

So to break it down it means that the planet Jupiter is moving out of the house of Cancer and in to the house of Leo starting yesterday. Jupiter is the planet of luck, blessings, expansion, growth and just general badass vibes. Jupiter passes through each sign for about a year which means it hasn't been in Leo since 2002.

So those with Sun in Leo or a rising in Leo better get ready for the best year of your life! We have been really watered down these last two years with Saturn in Scorpio and Jupiter in Cancer but now is the time to reap all the rewards for our hard work and hard times! Big plans will be coming together, confidence and creativity will be at an all time high. We are going to see the bigger picture and shoot for our true dreams and aspirations! Opportunities will be abundant with many options to choose from! 

And this isn't just a great aspect for Leos either, all the fire signs (Aires and Sagittarius) will get an extra boost and in general luck will be more available for all signs. 

Enjoy this beautiful energy and take care.
