GODDESS HERSTORY

Over the past two weeks, the Leo New Moon asked you to understand who governs your emotions. Do you?  Or, does someone or something else pull at your triggers?  Do you have authority over your life to be sovereign unto yourself, so that you have the strength and courage to live a noble life with peace, integrity and emotional security?

The Full Moon in Aquarius now highlights the need to feel liberated, awake and free from restrictions. Taking emotional control over your life will provide the right level of freedom you need to enjoy what you love.

This Full Moon could also highlight trauma, humanitarianism, friendships, and technology.   
 
On a personal level, Venus and Mars will collide and set a trigger, becoming a force for helping you to go after what you desire with the right amount of passionate self-confident assertion.  

Those who have been focused and aligned with themselves and what they want will receive gifts of inspiration from Jupiter going direct last week. Otherwise, watch for where you may be in denial by being too controlling or a “rebel without a cause,” remaining in the status-quo and not progressing. 

Collectively, we see these energies playing out in the world at large with the trauma caused by oppressive rulerships and the struggle for people to be liberated through democracy. We are witnessing a humanitarianism crisis all over the world due to the devastation from the passe patriarchal war mongering ways of approaching conflicts. We also see the Child Victims Act liberating those who have been abused in the past, especially by the Catholic Church. 

This same trigger exposing oppressive authorities in light of democracy is setting off a personal trigger in your own life with the potential of sparking a dramatic crisis or turning point.    

While this need may be provoked, possessing feminine qualities of greater emotional intelligence, thus the ability co-operate with others to improve the quality of your self-esteem, relationships, finances, and what it is you love in life will be key, just as it will be a key to resolving the issues in the world at large.    

Where do you need to make progress with your identity and break out of the status quo, or any over-used patterns in your life which have become crystalized and unable to grow? How you can be the director of your own life, gaining more creative control over how you express your individuality?

Watch for antagonism, arguments, provocation or taking advantage of trivial issues and turning them into egoic confrontations.

You may see that any unresolved issues or tensions in relationships, your self-esteem or finances could be a reflection back to recognize the need to balance your needs in relation to others.  If recognized, the greater good will come into focus to make progress towards mutual abundance. We see this playing out at the moment between the US and China as they spar with each other in this economic tit-for-tat. 

As the trauma of the patriarchy is exposed with Uranus now in Taurus for the next 5 more years, our personal and collective values are ready to change as we accept that feminine values will help humanity progress for greater stability and financial freedom. 

Allowing for progress and change away from these outdated patriarchal mindsets will be key.

In two weeks, by the Virgo New Moon, the energy will start to pick up and focus on our daily schedules with the back to school bustle and coming seasonal change will bring the “harvest” energy to the fore. With so many trines in the sky, those in alignment with themselves and the universal energies will see life flowing with opportunities to bring heaven down to earth by the next Full Moon in Pisces in Sept. 

 The call for this Gemini New Moon is to help you perceive new ideas so you can have more joy and abundance, tapping into your dreams and your ideal visions, feeling uplifted, blessed and inspired! 

Gemini’s role is to lift you up, so you can reach out with curiosity and to integrate into the world around you. 

The energy will start to pick up, become busier, more stimulating and expressive. You may be reading, writing, communicating and exchanging ideas more now by sending emails, utilizing social media, and making phone calls, for example. Interactions with siblings, as well as within your local neighborhood and community, can appear to be a focus. The spotlight could also be on travel - local or far, world events, cultures, ethics, higher education and the media, so watch for them to appear.

At this Moon, the potential is high to adapt and heal how you perceive life. Watch your attitudes and outlook, so you attract greater levels of optimism, ease, prosperity, stability and security. Do you have the freedom and happiness you need to bring in an abundance lifestyle?  Do you need to adjust your thoughts to start to see things in this way and harness the fruits of your ideal visions?   

It’s a great idea to look on the bright side and keep an open mind. Come up with new ideas to enhance your life and be versatile in your approaches. Stay lighthearted and modify to any shifting circumstances. Expand your conscious awareness of the generous bounty in the world around you.

Aim to be realistic and accept things for how they are at the moment if they are less than ideal. This is a time to be empathetic towards yourself, moving past any defeatist mentalities to reach greater levels of happiness. 

Watch for believing in your own or others’ illusions of inferiority, creating setbacks, ambiguity, and confusion. Becoming scattered, restless, over doing things, overreacting, jumping in without forethought, and having blind faith could all be potential signs to examine within yourself or others at the moment.

Try to make adjustments where needed, remain neutral with other’s opinions or perspectives if they don’t match yours and explore a variety of situations that suite you best. Now is your time to be flexible and find your ideals.

If you are tuning in, it is a wonderful time to receive messages from the angelic realms for help and guidance.

The past few Moons have had us focused on how we relate to each other, our relationships, finances and ability to have more ease and personal enjoyment in life. 

At this Moon, Venus will now provide the right relationships or financial transformation and commitment, providing financial stability, peace and loving relations with others.

Mars is backing Venus up by motivating you towards having the freedoms you need to go after what you desire in life so you can enjoy emotional comfort, support, and nourishment.  
If you can focus in this direction, you won’t go wrong. 

The overarching themes for this year and into the next is related to your home, inner nurturance and family along with your career, maturity, stability and your views on the emotional support you receive from society. 

Epiphanies and gifts will come in the next Full Moon in Sagittarius in two weeks. Remaining obstacles towards believing in your ability to have more freedom and happiness in your life will come to light as well as feeling blessed, confident and generous towards others!   

Uranus shifted into Taurus in March, and since April, has been a major influence affecting the planetary waves and moon cycles with more earthly feminine principles. Mutual support, cooperation, abundance, growth and stability will progressively replace fear, exploitation and scarcity in our world.

Over the past month, these shifts helped to make changes to strengthen these feminine principles through your identity, self-expression, and now, at this Full Moon, it is helping to make progress to how we relate to others.

Developing greater levels of trust and intimacy in our lives along with our need for having growth and stability will be the emotional undercurrent.

Your direction over the past couple week may have been obscure, but may no longer be so at this Full Moon. This is a wonderful time to understand how to take action to transformation and heal as Pluto and Chiron will bring regenerative powers to help you turn things around to greater enjoyment. For some, love and relationships will shift towards merging more agreeably, affectionately and intimately with others. Being open to emotional vulnerability can happen at this time. Chiron will be there with healing vibrations to protect your heart and provide opportunities to heal any prior feelings of hurt, rejection or abandonment.

You will be better able to realize and eliminate any psychological fears that stand in your way towards reaching more nurturance and independence. You will have insight, and better define, communicate and express your needs and desires for more love and financial security, enhancing your self-esteem, intimacy and trust with life.

For some, any unhealthy relationships can end as you will be able to break away, purge and heal from not having your needs met. Do not be tempted to engage in power struggles. Work on compromise and win-wins with wise consideration to how you affect others.

Discriminate what will bring you greater power and security in life. Your ability to break free, take risks, explore, initiate action and flow with more of an easy-going and balanced approach in life will be supported, helping you to better assert your individuality.

Beyond intimate relationships, harnessing your innate talents so you can achieve your desires and maximize financial gains to turn things around to your benefit will be key now.   
Overall, the social activity will be more stimulating, pleasurable and possibly spontaneous, especially as the Gemini New Moon approaches on June 3, 2019 and will stimulate your commitment to greater abundance and ease in life. 

At the Full Moon two weeks ago, April 19, Uranus was stirring up transformational changes so that shifts and progress can be made towards how you assert your desires into the world, making deeper connections with what you love, bringing peace and stability to your world.

Ensuring balance and harmony, mutual connections and equal relationships was the main point. Now, the focus is on grounding and securing the energy to take root in what is happening in your life at the moment. 

Relationships and finances, are still important but the emphasis now is on the ability to grow with love and prosperity, establish lasting value, enhance your talents, self-mastery and deepening your self-esteem and allow yourself to blossom. 

What is developing now in these areas will need to be practical, bring substance and value to your life and be durable enough to weather any storms. 

Making greater commitments and envisioning how to elevate your status and reach your dreams will be strong. Most likely a woman, a relationship or finances will bring a bit of tension and will help you on your path towards your dreams and goals. Position yourself so that you are benefiting and not repeating limiting patterns. Relationships will inspire and uplift you to reach greater levels of enjoyment in life. 

There may be lots of shifts happening, opening you up to new ways of expressing yourself to attract what you need to gain greater security.    

Digging into the subconscious realm to understand motives, desires, of yourself and others will help to adapt to shifts and transformation. It is a good time to probe deeper for answers and not take things at face value. Restlessness or discouragement may be felt if unclear about what is motivating you, sending you in many different directions, making it difficult to choose how to move forward. Watch for overextending yourself. 

Aim for ethics, to see the bigger picture, seek the truth and raise your level of self-awareness so that transformations can happen.   

You may not have clarity on which direction to go in and that is ok, the Scorpio Full Moon will help you to understand by May 18th. Right now your or others’ motives are still a bit unclear and it is best to seek trust and honesty. Avoid action that you are unsure about and seek to envision first how you want to move forward before you do. 

Have faith that the way forward will reveal itself by the Full Moon in Scorpio, May 18th.  Trusting that the universe will provide you with what you need will be important to tap into at the moment.  

Since the Aries New Moon on April 5, we have been taking the first steps in a whole new astrological cycle.

As this is the second Libra Full Moon in a row we have bestowed upon us this year, it is a bonus opportunity for making transformational changes to who or what we want to connect with, whether that is with people or the things we identify with in life. 

Making deeper connections to what you love, relationships, partnerships, finances, and having peace, harmony and balance in your life will be the focus. 

Uranus is stirring up changes so that progress can be made to how you assert your desires out into the world. Watch for the opportunities the changes present.  It can change how you relate to others as well as yourself, strengthen the value you offer, your sense of security, the level of ease you have in your life, your financial outlook or the way you are able to master your personal wellbeing. Even if change is forced upon you, you might find you have the power within to reach greater love, peace, abundance, growth and stability for yourself and those around you as the Taurus New Moon approaches next.  

Relationships will be the focus. If you are experiencing a breakup because you were disillusioned and/or the relationships did not provide the stability and emotional security you need, know there is hope.

For those relationships which truly stand the test of time and commitment, Jupiter will drive you to a better level of truth and enjoyment. If it is not meant to be, it will create the opportunity to break free from unhealthy ties in a more altruistic manner and discover the truth behind why it didn’t work for you.  
  
The energies are healing how we think of ourselves in relation to others and how others can help elevate us on our journeys. 

There is an important lesson to be understood at this Full Moon. The decisions you are making will determine if you have the self-mastery to value yourself in relationships and progress spiritually with maturity and thus raising vibrations.

Are you able to open up and express your true self and therefore your true feelings? If not, examine issues with your mother/father or women/men in your life which may need to be resolved. Keep your ego in check and trust your instincts. Reassess your relationships and how much enjoyment you are gaining out of them or with life in general.  Learn how to correctly act on your heart’s desires. 

Pluto’s square is best dealt with guiding your subconscious to proactively become a catalyst to make adjustments rather than blindly creating upheavals without warning - causing shock and trauma. This is a good time to learn to go within, meditate and ask questions for the answers. Establish a better relationship with your psyche and understand its strength in your world.

Two weeks ago, the Aries New Moon asked you to release fear. Now, you are presented with the areas of life in which you need to pay attention to so that you can move forward without subconscious fears getting in the way. 
 
The Mars-Neptune square provides the motivation to have a practice of meditation, to seek answers from higher powers, and to reach an active curiosity towards your ideals and visions.
​
Coming up next, the Taurus New Moon May 4th will continue the focus on relationships and finances, and provide a push towards growth, comfort, inspiration, achievement, and stability!  

Over the last month, while Mercury was retrograde in Pisces, you had a chance to “look yourself in the mirror” to examine what you needed to let go of, as well as what you need moving forward.

Over the past two weeks, the waning Libra Full Moon connected the end of one cycle to another. It opened the doorway through the recent Vernal Equinox into spring, as you arrive at the Aries New Moon on April 5, 2019.

The passage between these two moons asked you to connect to what you love and to the right relationships in your life to help you to better define your authentic self. 

The Aries New Moon is the official start of a brand new cycle and therefore seeks to focus emotionally and instinctively on leading the self to act on the willpower of your heart’s desires. The energy is cardinal-fire, therefore igniting the impulse to initiate decisively on your passions and unleash your spirit into the world.    

This energy is coupled with a square to Saturn and indicates a great time to take our heart’s desires seriously, set goals and make plans to reach for success and achievement. Saturn also crystallizes the emotional body, so this is a time to either crystallize new emotional patterns or to act on breaking up the crystallization of old ego patterns. These old patterns can be from emotions you may have long forgotten about from your past or past lives.     

Watch for unconscious fears manifesting as a lack of confidence, discouragement, loneliness, cold-heartedness, depression, feelings of inferiority, rigidity, frustration, diminished vitality, oppression, and an overall negative attitude.

These feelings could be triggered by anyone who poses as an authority in your life such as parents, teachers, bosses who may seem to get in the way of feelings of achievement of your life’s ambitions.

Seek downtime to uplift your emotions where necessary. Aim to see things clearly. A positive and loving approach with maturity will help guide you through to manifest the most beneficial outcomes and rise above frustration to reach more productive levels of motivation and ambition. If so, this could mark a time of initiating great achievement through a positive attitude and an open heart. 

It’s a time to take calculated risks and have courage to act on your desires without the fear of being held down.

Motivation won’t be too difficult to achieve since Neptune will be on your side to help you to feel exalted by love and to see the world with more beauty and inclusion. It will uplift spirits and transcend the way you relate to others, boost your financial outlook, and support your thoughts with ingenuity and creativity.

Pay attention to your reputation, career, authorities, your grandmothers, and what is going on with your parents or how you are parenting. It’s a wonderful time to work on your home as springtime surfaces and new projects can be initiated. 
​
Remember to treat others with kindness and with inclusion as you strive for emotional maturity. It will help you along the path of your fate and destiny at the moment.   

As we approach the Vernal Equinox, the waxing Moon from Pisces to Libra begins the process of ending one cycle and connects you to another.

The past two weeks in Pisces was a wonderful chance to reflect on your life, looking at the past in order to envision where you want to go in the future. It was a great time to let go of outdated life patterns, so you feel wholesome and rejuvenated without inauthentic “baggage” holding you down. 
​
Because of Pisces’ ability to transcend boundaries, many cultures recognize this Moon as a “passing over” and the next Aries Moon as a “resurrection” of a new beginning.

As Mercury retrogrades in Pisces, Libra the balancer steps in to reconcile the duality of Pisces asking you to meditate on what you want to let go of as well as what you envision moving forward. Doing so will bring you closer to what is destined to be on your life path. Libra makes connections, fits the pieces together, balances, and harmonizes, opening the doorway of the Vernal Equinox, entering into a whole new level of being and refreshing your spirit as you approach the Aries New Moon on April 5, 2019

The Libra Full Moon deepens your awareness between your identity and the more intimate relationships in your life, whether through people or the things you love in life. The focus is on moving forward with who or what makes you feel comfortable and secure about being who you are, or brings greater emotional security into your life, and therefore makes you feel confident about who you are. 

There are ample opportunities for self-healing to take place. Watch for moments of insecurity, not valuing yourself foremost or needing to prove yourself to others. Vet out perceived failings or weaknesses in your identity, self-awareness, will power, and purpose in your life direction. Be careful to not be hasty, irritable, impatient, aggressive, or hot-headed and act on confusion and disillusionment towards yourself and others. 

The key is to build healthy self-confidence, self-love, and respect by loving and being yourself and not feeling the need to prove yourself to others or be someone you are not, in order to feel the love, respect and connections you are seeking.   

Has Mercury retrograde in Pisces helped you to have a clear picture or are things confusing or unclear?  Are you able to be decisive and make decisions to have the right relationships in your life? Are you drawing upon the right connections from your past in order to envision how you need to move forward? Is your life balanced, not feeling pulled in one direction at the expense of another?  Are you centered and whole in your being? 
​
These are the questions to ask leading up to the Aries New Moon April 5th. By then, Mercury will be out of retrograde and will make for an opportune time to express yourself with a firmer footing, releasing fear and building upon better structures to move forward gaining greater maturity, stability and self-confidence.  ​

After cleaning house, managing daily tasks, closing doors, and saying no to what does not allow you to be yourself, you’ve arrived at the entrance of the sublime; the Pisces New Moon, March 6, 2019.

The pace slows and induces a reflective, visionary quality. Past patterns of behavior, relationships, career moves - any important moments are reviewed.  As you end this cycle, you also conjure images of your desires moving forward, allowing you to bring divine inspiration down into practical form this spring.

Don’t be alarmed if you suddenly feel cloudy, lazy, lack will power, or start to doubt your aims. 

Neptune’s job is to dissolve outdated life patterns you no longer need to identify with, so that you feel wholesome and hurdle over daily challenges without inauthentic “baggage” weighing you down. 

Virgoan themes, such as purifying, utilizing tools, and boundary setting will still be important. Sensitive souls will benefit by practicing energetic protection, as some may, albeit unconsciously, test your thresholds. 

If so, Pisces provides the understanding of human suffering, compassion, forgiveness, and kindness. Spiritualism, mysticism, and connections to the ethereal realms are also heightened.

At the moment, major planetary shifts are awakening the desire to heal our masculine dominated society by aligning with more feminine value systems for greater security and stability.

You may feel the impulse to initiate on it now, but the time is better spent allowing yourself to dream away, conjure up and indulge in visualizing all of your desires and inspirations to initiate on this spring. Take a deep breath, sit back, relax, stretch out, yawn, daydream, close your eyes, even for just a second, and drift into a state of inner peace. Rest and rejuvenate your inner sanctuary. Become friendly with the softer, creative, imaginative sides of life. Anything that allows you to turn off the logical brain and escape in a dream world is the best way to utilize this energy.

It is not the time to act on brand new endeavors just yet, but to renew your beliefs and desires in attaining your dreams. Mercury retrograde on the same day will help you to contemplate and visualize your ideal dream life more deeply. Deliberate action will be better served when Mercury is out of retrograde next month and we arrive at the Aries New Moon. For now, apply your inspirations towards redoing things that need a new image, anything which instills your beliefs towards attaining your dreams, and pondering how to incorporate your visions into your daily life will be most beneficial.

Saturn will help you to set goals, structures, plans, organize, and be grounded in reality, having both the vision and commitment towards making your dreams come true. Watch for opportunities to elevate your maturity and authority along the way. 

Self-healing and a more complete picture will become noticeable by the Libra Full Moon in two weeks when epiphanies will surface on how to move forward and who will be with you, incorporating balance and beauty along the way.   

After a period of igniting your passions and liberating yourself to spread your wings to fly forward at the eclipses in January 2019, we now come to the more grounded yet vivacious Virgo Full Moon. This is a time when we want to clear any and all obstacles in our path towards the freshness spring can bring in April 2019.

Over the next month into March, the energies will ask you to reflect upon your highest hopes and most inspiring ideals. Getting down to business and considering the practicalities of putting your creative ideas, or life in general, in order will be key now to make them a reality.

If you can pay attention to the details, and lay practical foundations around this Full Moon, the better able you will be to enjoy the tranquil, peaceful and creative aspects of the upcoming New Moon in Pisces by March 6, 2019.

It’s a good time to break things down, make lists, compartmentalize, tidy up, declutter, organize, detox, fast, purge, purify metaphorically or physically. Clean up and close any unhealthy doors as best you can now, so that you can make way for the feelings of refreshed newness spring has to offer. 

Supporting energies will ignite healthy doses of motivation from Mars to get you started. In fact, working on applying a healthy identity, ego, drive, will-power, and self-assertion has been very beneficial. Now, at the Full Moon, Venus steps in and asks you to use that will power to connect with values which resonate with your true being. If you are not, it’s a great time to detox, set boundaries and eliminate anything that is not in alignment with yourself, so you can feel more wholesome, and can rise above any challenges more easily. 
​
Important shifts can happen to enjoy greater levels of freedom and stability, if you allow this shift to take place. 

In particular, old values, relationships, friendships, or finances can now endure some changes for greater stability. In fact, this Full Moon will become a pivotal point.

How apropos of the Universe to provide such energies during this Valentine’s season. The ability to take action on making progress, change, freedom, and liberation will be very strong. It’s an excellent time to get out of any ruts that are unproductive and unhealthy. 

Old relationships and values which no longer serve a healthy purpose can be easily released. Especially those which have unhealthy boundaries. Now, you will likely connect your life to people or things with greater care to reach the emotional stability you need.

Overall, a jovial mood will pervade. A social buzz will be felt in the air as well as deep and intense magnetic attractions. If single, feeling the longing to connect will intensify and be enjoyable. If attached, a deeper, more committed union. Passionate urges may surface, so be realistic and put your heart and soul into something or someone which connects you to what you love and value, and you won’t go wrong. 

If you recall from January, the bigger themes from the eclipses were asking you to become more emotionally in tune with your identity and to take ownership over your life. 

Now is the time to do some “house cleaning.”  Typically Virgo Moons can be a time of a crisis in purity. If we have not “cleaned house” then the upcoming Pisces Moon can be a time of disillusions and neurosis. We want to avoid that. 

We want to aim for a clear picture by the Pisces New Moon. Watch for being scattered, unfocused, impulsive, and committing to more than you can manage, feeling the need to exaggerate your self-worth. Also, it’s a good time to be clear on your finances and get them in order for greater, long-term stability. 

Come the Pisces New Moon, the energy will shift to become more supportive of tranquility, having a healthy work/life balance, being able to retreat to reflect on your life, your dreams, enjoy Mother Nature, and the more sublimely creative and spiritual aspects of life.
