The Eclipse Season – July and August 2018

The total lunar eclipse on 27th July 2018 marks the beginning of a rollercoaster of change and intensity.

Since 27th June this year we have been in a Mars Retrograde period which has forced us all to slow down, look within and deal with unresolved issues from the past. Whereas a Mercury retrograde period will affect technology, communication, transport (and traffic) and force to revise our thoughts and ideas, Mars is quite different.

During Mars retrograde we have to look at the make up of our egos. In a sense you could bring it down to the basics by saying love vs fear. We all need our ego to remind us to have boundaries and a sense of self in the modern world, but when the ego takes control in any area of the personality it often loses touch with the true soul purpose.

We can always get back to our inner truths by focusing on being love centred and working on our self love, but this requires regular mindfulness and meditation. In reality most of us start to attach with certain elements of fear/ego driven behaviours and focal points through habit and influence.

The lunar eclipse on 27th July 2018 marks the almost exact midpoint of the Mars retrograde period (which completes on 28th August at 28 Capricorn) and it also falls within one degree of Mars which will be at 4 Aquarius at this point. Those of you born between 21st and 27th January will feel this eclipse very personally, along with those of you who have a birthday around this time (meaning your Leo Sun is affected personally also).

As this Moon-Mars opposite Sun configuration is also very close to an exact square from Uranus in Taurus there could be some very surprise events occur at this point. Whenever Uranus comes into the mix we have to allow for the unexpected as it rules; revolution, rebellion, change and the unexpected. There is always a spark of genius and humour with Uranus though, this doesn't bring foreboding change, rather changes which uplift. It's those who follow routine and order who are upset by Uranus, but on a higher level it naturally brings about its own sense of order. For those of you who have worked with Cosmic ordering, you will be aware that Uranus is the ignition that you can use to help you bring about big changes in focal areas of manifestation.

So, whilst this eclipse may bring about change that appears to be unwarranted, it can also be used as an impetus to help create what you really want in your lives. Mars retrograde has being showing us where our egos have been holding us back, tripping us up and clouding our inspiration. Meditating on this full moon can help hone this energy to clear out old behavioural patterns, fears and other blockages in a ~conscious~ manner, to begin to prepare for a very exciting and productive Autumn.

Mercury will turn retrograde the day before this eclipse, so looking inward will continue to be the theme for the coming weeks. Introspection is key, try not to have too many distinct plans at this time, they will fall through. With the Uranus aspect to this full moon and both Mercury and Mars retrograde, going with the flow and learning to surrender control will definitely make life a lot easier. Trying to control anything (or anyone!) at this time will create arguments, anger, conflict and further delays.

Anyone with planets around 2 degrees of any of the signs will feel the complications in early August. With Chiron at 2 Aries, Saturn moving back from 3 to 2 Capricorn, Mars passing 2 Aquarius and Uranus at 2 Taurus, and stationing retrograde here for almost 3 months, there is a lot of activity. This is personal, there are big changes to any planets at this position, all will be in the crossfire of complicated and supportive aspects.

Do you have any planets at 2 degrees of the signs? Would you like me to take a look at how the current planetary positions can be used for growth, rather than angst? Contact me at: waxlobster@hotmail.com 

The next Eclipse is a solar eclipse and will take place on 11th August 2018 at 18'41 Leo, so this will affect those with a birthday around this time and also those born from around 4th to 8th February, 9th to 13th November and 7th to 12th May the most.

Mercury is in on the act here, and sat close to the new Moon (conjunction of Sun and Moon) Eclipse point, as if to reiterate the reminder that Mars made during the previous eclipse. Mercury isn't quite at the middle point of its retrograde cycle, but it seems to want to affirm the messenger's messages to us by highlighting its journey backwards through Leo. An edgy aspect to Pluto shows again that trying to rise above controlling behaviour is one of this Summer's underlying growth points.

Whether we are looking at the hierarchical societal structures which trap and confine us, or the oppressive hand to mouth existence of living in debt that so many find ourselves in; these kinds of themes may loom over us oppressively at this point. Or perhaps we are being shown our own fear-based behaviours which cause us to stay stuck in patterns which do not suit us, or interactions with others which have gotten into loops of control drama and stagnation.

All of these themes will be poignantly exposed during the middle of August. Where the eclipse falls in your own personal chart will show more about how/what and where. The chances are you will already have a fairly good idea of what makes you feel suppressed and confined in your life at the moment. Things only reach a head when we have out grown them, or have ignored their negative influence for long enough for intervention to become necessary.

It's important to try to look at these times as growth periods, rather that resisting and fighting the patterns of nature, it is better to yield and allow change. Often the difficult times are where we clear out all the blockages so that the magic and joy can follow.

The heaviness of these themes does indicate some political and social flux too, things will seems unsettled overall during August. The weak spot at 2 degrees of the signs will impact wherever it falls. I'm not an astrologer who works with the charts of countries but if I was I would mention that the great instability of the UK at the moment is due to Pluto being opposite the Moon of the UK chart and having recently crossed the Sun in the chart also chart!

{For details: http://www.astro.com/nat/natuk2_e.htm}

By the end of August things will look very different for us all. This is going to be a complicated month, but it is also an adventure, a learning curve and a great opportunity to grow. Those who have had ideas and projects that have been neglected recently may well suddenly find the time to go back to these. The great thing about retrograde periods, is that it's excellent for study, revising previous projects and completing them properly and it's also an opportunity to have a rest and really catch up on leisure time.

It may be a complex period emotionally, but it will also be one that can be regenerative and restorative. For some this will be a very healing experience, others will need to go through and unblock a fair few areas in order to allow the healing, but it's worth doing so.

September will feel like a new year, enjoy the hot Summer of growth in the meantime.

Leo, Virgo & Libra Forecast ~~April, May & June 2018

Leo Horoscope - April to June 2018

Fortunately the month begins at the Easter holidays, because all I'm picking up from you right now Leo, is that all you want to get out there, holiday, explore and escape this humdrum. We're all feeling that in our own way though, as Mars meets up with Saturn, giving all that dull, routine, unimportant day to day stuff a focus it's never quite earned the right to.

Things are going to look up in the second week of the month though, whilst I can promise much fun or frivolity (to those of you who haven't already booked a flight to another continent) before the 7th, there will be an uplift in week too. Sure, the earthy meet ups of Venus and Mars with water Neptune may lack some of the adventure and excitement you seek, there will at least be the opportunity to feel inspired, more creative and connected to those who are important to you. Passions will run quite high at this time too, as physical escapism provides a rather decent comparative to the more explorative impulses you have been feeing.

Although, in fact the new Moon in Aries on 16th does indicate an amenable and opportune time to jet set. Responsibilities will take a back sea anyway, when Saturn begins a retrograde motion on 18th April and unless you really do have a lot of ties and responsibilities, why not get away for a while?

Your social life starts to look up too when Venus moves into Gemini from 24th April, perfect for those of you who have decided to escape your day to day lives, and pretty good still if you're staying put for the interminable.

The first week in May is infused with harmonious aspects, as the ground begins to warm up to the Spring (in the UK), the feel good factor is beginning to spread. If you need a wild night out, either of the first two May weekends are appropriate, but the second one particularly. As Mercury meets up with Uranus, the planet of revolution, genius, chaos and freedom, this is one of your last chances to really enjoy Uranus in yours fellow fire sign, Aries. (It will dip back for a few months from November 2018 also, if you do pass up this opportunity for a little hedonism.)

The new Moon in 15th May brings your work life into the spotlight. Are you fulfilling your dreams, do you even know what it is you really want to do with your life? For the last year the nodes have been in Leo, these are actually an imaginary mathematical point but they signify your soul direction in this life. When they join up with the position of your Sun they push you to thinking about what it is you want to achieve in this life. Sometimes it helps to know where the nodes were when you were born, if you want to get a better idea of this.

{If you would like me do a £20 report about where the nodes were when you were born and what this tells us about your soul purpose, contact me at: waxlobster@hotmail.com}

Alongside the New Moon, this is the day that Uranus officially moves into Taurus, promising to change how and what we value and possibly the entire monetary system as we know it over the next 7 years! To soften the blow, Mars moves into Aquarius, the sign ruled by Uranus, making sure we still have a dose of wildness in our lives for the next few months. Aquarius is your opposite sign, and with Mars here for the majority of the next 6 months, this is the beginning of period of relationship focus for Leos.

Single Leos will be meeting a lot of potential partners at this time, at first the people you meet will probably reflect qualities in yourself you need to work on. Whilst at the end of this period there is likely a happy ending for you, this will be a journey of learning and delving deeper into what it means to connect with a significant other. For those of you in relationships already, be prepared to go more deeply into the mechanisms of how you fit one another, and areas where you both need to learn to 'shake things up' a bit. There may have been a lull in recent months, the one thing about Aquarius is it's never boring; chaotic, unpredictable, hot/cold, overly analytical, but not dull. Mid-May marks the beginning of a very interesting Summer.

Some of the seriousness will be felt towards the end of the month, lifted for you by the Full Moon in Sagittarius on 29th May. This is another date for a bit of frivolity and fun, friendships are also in the spotlight with your ruling planet, the Sun, now sociable Gemini. You will meet a lot of interesting, people at this time.

June continues a sociable focus, you are still pondering whether you're in the right career, or working towards it, and the confusion will be notable around 6th & 7th June. If you are inclined towards meditation, you will this to be a particularly fruitful pursuit from 11th June, as the planet of thought and ideas, moves into emotional Cancer.

Around the 20th and for a few days before, love will be in the picture, whether because of somebody you have met, or due to a more romantic mood that's suddenly hit you I cannot say. What is clear is that you will be looking at what you really want in a relationship. Venus in Leo from the 13th June will make you feel more attractive and charismatic in general.

During the last week of the month, you will start to notice that charm and warmth are not quite enough however, that depth, and connection are the elements that bond people together. As Mars turns retrograde on 27th June, a period of delving deeper into all these areas is just beginning.

Virgo Horoscope - April to June 2018

I know a lot of Virgos don't really love this time of year, the start of Spring, the blossoms on the trees. The truth is, it's quite a messy season really, petals everywhere, random rain showers all the time, and all the extra light just showing up the grime and extra work that needs to be done.

This April though, with Venus moving into Taurus on the 1st, you're going to be feeling a bit more relaxed, in fact you may even be inclined to take a holiday somewhere and escape from it all for a while.

The times are changing, this is quite a big Spring & Summer astrologically speaking. Most people will be feeling the pressure at the beginning of April too, with Mars and Saturn causing a little chaos, forcing people to slow down, focus and do things more accurately. You don't mind this so much, you tend to be methodical anyway in fact as a romantic haze begins to take over mid-month, alongside the New Moon in Aries it's possible you'll find the unrealistic expectations set by others are a little irritating.

Another reason this is a big year for you, Virgo, is your ruling planet Chiron, finally moves out of Pisces. It's been in your opposite sign, your sign of relationship for 7 years now, and you're fully bored of having to grow and work on yourself and how you inter-relate with your partner. Good news, this period ends on 17th April (the bad news is there will be a re-visit from Chiron to Aries later in the year, just to make sure you really have thoroughly learned all you thought you had!)

{if you'd like a personal reading explaining how Chiron falls in your personal chart and what makes it the ruler of your sign – rather than Mercury – then I can do this for £20, contact me at: waxlobster@hotmail.com}

Chiron in Aries means that more people will be irritable and snappy, but also more sensitive with one another too. Violence and aggressive behaviour will become taboo and although this is no bad thing, as we know; things do tend to get a little worse, before they truly start to right themselves.

Towards the end of the month as Venus moves in Gemini, you will be feeling good about your career. Aesthetically things will be falling into place, communication will be upbeat and positive and you will be reaping the rewards of all your hard work a little more noticeably. You've worked hard so far this year, Saturn in Capricorn has made strong work ethics your form of entertainment on some level. You do enjoy getting lost in something with is predictable, methodical and works beautifully afterwards. Appreciation for the amount you do is often overlooked, so this positive energy is very much deserved.

The Full Moon in Scorpio on 30th April highlights communication and community. We've had to deal with Mercury retrograde for the first half of April, showing up flaws and delays in as many areas as it could. Now it's moving at full speed, any areas of misunderstanding whether personally or in a work sense, can be readdressed and will become quite obvious at this point of the month.

May begins quite smoothly with a neat flow, you will be able to get things done easily and feel quite content with everyday life. Although the pressure of so much activity in Capricorn, (the house in your chart which rules fun, sports, entertainment, recreation and creativity) is making you feel a need to make all of the activities in your life have a productive outcome, you are beginning to enjoy this.

On 15th April, after 7 years in Aries, Uranus; the planet of chaos, sparks of genius, revolution and change, moves into compatible Taurus. You may well start thinking about doing a course in something you've been interested in for a while, or even take on lessons in a new language. Some Virgos will get the urge to travel and explore the world, others will do their journeys in their studies, but this will be the beginning of a period of expansion, exploration and discovery on a level you hadn't predicted.

Enjoy! Follow your dreams! You have a tendency to talk yourself out of plans which are just for you, but look at this way, the richer you are in yourself; the more you have to offer others. Whether in terms of knowledge, experience, or just inner fulfilment, it is important to put your needs and desire first for a change!

Mars connecting with your ruling planet on 20th May could indicate some decisions in this area. Certainly you will feel a bit more celebratory on the 25th as Jupiter and Neptune meet up, as if to ensure you are aware of your dreams and ready to take the steps towards giving them more of a focus in your life.

The first week in June focusses on communications and whether or not you are giving your close relationship the time and care that they need. The answer may be, “No”. Certainly on the 7th June there is an indication of demands being made of your time and resources. You sometimes forget how needy other people can be, and how much time and attention they require.

When Mercury moves into your house of friendship on 12th June, you will feel more at ease to address this deficit, although the new Moon the following day will be demanding your work focus once more.

Appeasement is well starred however, Virgo, mid June shows good strong connections and warmth with others. For single Virgos this is the best time of Spring/early Summer for you to be out and about meeting new people. You'll feel more upbeat, sociable and fun-loving at this time. (13th to 23rd June)

Things do come back down to earth at the end of June. Duties are piling up and work demands are pressing, the bubble has burst for just a little while and as Mars begins a retrograde motion in Aquarius on 27th June this will be the backdrop of the Summer. Whether readdressing the feng shui in your home (or workplace), or simply making up for a less than perfect diet over the last few months, this is the beginning of an energetic 'Spring clean'.

Shalom~~ Waxy

Libra Horoscope - April to June 2018

Those of you born in early October are probably reading this reluctantly thinking, “what next?” I know it's been stressful week or so, for all of you in one way or another. Saturn in Capricorn is making itself known, stifling your congeniality and forcing you to look at issues with home, family and areas of your past that would be more easily ignored.

I'm afraid the first week of April, further presses on these point and if you can avoid people (and potentially confrontation) on 2nd April do so.

Things ease up after this point, sure Venus moving into Taurus on 7th April may not be quite so romantic as it being in your opposite sign but the need to 'take time out' is so important for you right now, this more introspective period has come at the right time.

When Mercury ends it's retrograde period on 15th the dust will slowly begin to settle. You've had a lot of memories, old unresolved issues coming up to the surface lately, I'm happy to say that you can rest and take a back seat for most of the second half of April.

Chiron in Aries from the 17th will start up a new level of learning, but only for those of you born from 23rd to 26th September.

{Do you want to know more about how Chiron in your opposite sign from now until 2027 will change your life? Contact me for a £20 Chiron reading at: waxlobster@hotmail.com }

Easy moments will follow for most Libras from the new Moon on 16th April, followed by your ruler Venus moving into compatible Gemini on 24th April. The downturn occurs when Mars and Pluto meet up on 26th of the month, people are going to be conflictive and aggressive on this Libra. I know how uncomfortable that can make you feel and so I'm giving you a headsup to avoid the more cantankerous, confrontative and lairy types if you want to keep things peaceful. The emphasis is on the area of your chart which deals with communication, so you could be dragged unwittingly into the crossfire if you don't know to avoid.

The full Moon in your house of resources on 30th will get you thinking about how much of yourself you share; both energetically and with your finances also.

You've been assessing your friendships in the back of your mind for the last year or so, looking at who really matters to you and vice-versa. This will become more evident to you around 3rd May, and it may turn out that you are closer to some people than you knew. It’s possible you will meet somebody at this time also, who makes quite a lasting, positive influence on your life. It could be a new friend, it could be a new love, stay open minded and socialise if you have chance. The first week of May looks very promising for you Libra and this will be a continuing energy in fact. As, on 13th May, you find yourself feeling more creatively inspired than you have for a while.

Uranus, the planet of chaos, change, revolution and inspiration will be moving into Taurus from the 15th, beginning a 7 year sojourn in an area of your chart which rules the deepest connections in life. Your intuition will start to be a more reliable guide now and your psychic ability will be enhanced going forwards.

From the 19th your ruling planet, Venus moves into the area of your life governing career, enhancing your creativity in the workplace. If you run your own business, or have considered doing so, this is a great time for a launch, revamp, rebrand, or visual campaign.

Creativity will continue to peak and the 25th May is going to have a hazy romantic type of energy. For those of you in relationships, practical long-term concerns can be discussed and shared. Single Libras will be looking for long-term too, rather than casual.

The 1st of June has a particularly positive slant to it, if you do meet somebody at this time Libra, expect it to be somebody different, who has experiences that fascinate and inspire you. A holiday romance is also well featured at this time and you will be inclined towards travel in June.

From 13th to 20th June you will experience quite a rollercoaster of emotions. This is a great time to plan an adventure, but even if you stay home, this be a very eventful week. So many areas of your chart are lit up at this time, a change in your life direction is very possible. You may decide to change jobs, move house, you may fall in love, or take up a new hobby. There are many options available but with Uranus in Taurus, and your intuition so much clearer now than it has been previously, you may feel like you are guided by a higher force in the decisions you make. Synchronicities will be more frequent too.

{if you would like a £20 reading, to explain how Uranus moving into Taurus will personally affect you for the coming 7 years, contact me at: waxlobster@hotmail.com }

After the Solstice on the morning of 21st your focus will be a little more studious and practical. Changes are best made prior to this point anyway, as Mars turning retrograde in Aquarius at the end of the month, marks the beginning of period of reconsidering your domestic finances, family matters and creative plans. With the Full Moon on 28th June, capitulating and highlighting points which will require your focus over the remainder of the Summer. It will be a more introspective Summer than usual, so enjoy the freedom that June will bring you beforehand.

New Moon at 21:44 at 10° Leo – What you resist persists

This new Moon, meeting up with the Sun in fiery Leo tilts the balance of planets into the fire signs. With the Moon making its impact; by joining up with the Sun, Venus continues her sojourn further into the sign at; 22° Leo. The timing of this new Moon, also coincides Mars’ recent return to Sagittarius – also on Tuesday 2nd August, after its long backwards dip into Scorpio. As mentioned in previous articles, Mars was retrograde from 18th April 2016 until 30th June 2016. It had reached 8° Sagittarius at the time of its retrograde and so will still be in the so called ‘shadow of the retrograde until it returns to that point on 22nd August. Still, with Mars back in Sagittarius, energies are higher and anything which has been moving slowly in your life over the last few months will start to gather momentum again.


Saturn is also in Sagittarius, interestingly sitting at 9° very close to the retrograde point for the whole of the month of August as it slows down, ready to turn to forward motion itself. If you have any planets around 8-9° Sagittarius, these are significantly highlighted, once again (just as they were in April). For those of you born around 30th November, that would be the position of your Sun at birth, so most likely this has been a very low energy year for you so far. Do look at what comes up in August in this case, you will learn far more from observing other areas of your life which come to the fore. There is no need to fight against what should be, if you’re tired then rest. Rather than be frustrated look at what IS working for you and embrace it.






In the new Moon chart Neptune sits angularly on the ascendant throwing quite a dampener on the usually energetic Sun-Moon conjunction in Leo. Confusion is the theme of this new Moon, this is not a time to begin something constructive or to make a wish. Neptune always brings a deeper, spiritual and emotional tint to whatever it connects. It is linked to confusion and deception, because we live in a world where facts and figures are valued more highly than creativity, but really Neptune is about all that is elevated and of a higher frequency.

There is a bit of a conflict of interest however, as the Sun-Moon in Leo fall in the detail oriented 6th House implying that facts and figures at this time may well be obfuscated and unavailable. As always, if flowing with the cycles choosing to allow a more creative approach to what is usually mundane will work incredibly well at this time.

I personally postponed the tidying and plant repotting that I need to do to coincide with the new moon and allow new energy to flow more freely around my space. Feng Shui is very important to procure new energy and allow change to occur, and this new Moon favours energetically enhancing ones’ personal space. Whilst many of the more constructive parts of our lives may not be easy to navigate at this time, there is a great deal of cleansing energy which can be worked with and utilized at this time.

A bit of a clean, a move around, to bring new kinds of energy into stagnant areas of your life will work well at this time. This isn’t a time for constructive thought and there won’t be a feeling of great action and celebration in the usual new Moon in Leo sense. Allow action to take place where it is needed, let go of anything which doesn’t seem to be flowing at this time and this can be a very positive new Moon.



August is quite a static month as we wait for Mars to reach as far in Sagittarius and Saturn sits tight awaiting Mars to surge past on 24th August. After which things will begin moving so quickly it will be a very exciting an eventful Autumn.

Enjoy the rest, don’t fight the forces of nature and this can be a tranquil, uplifting and inspiring new Moon time.

New Moon in Cancer ~4th July 2016~ making amends

This New Moon occurs at 12:01pm here in the UK; almost exactly at midday and on the actual entitled 'moon day' – now referred to as 'Monday'.

Although this New Moon is not an eclipse, and doesn't have any additional astronomical significance it is an important one this year. It marks a psychological beginning to the 2016 Summer which seems to have, so far, been absent. In my experience, I've never known the start of Summer to feel so much like Winter; both in energy and in actual weather too.

The major contributory factor for this is that Mars turned retrograde on 18th April 2016 and has been going backwards (from the earth's perspective) until this morning- 12:36am on Thursday 30th June. When a planet is observed as retrograde (the earth's orbit is parallel and moving more quickly around the Sun) then the influence of that planet becomes introspective, backward and more complex. For Mars this occurs every 2 years and during this period your energy levels may be notable lower, your tolerance markedly limited and your progress not notable in any way at all.

With Mars gaining momentum for the first time in more than 3 months, this New Moon will feel like a heady influx of newness. Cancer is a very wholesome, family oriented sign and so there will be a focus towards unification with people closest to us. There is of course not a simplistic, overnight, light-hearted way to shed all of the tensions of recent months. That is a gradual process, the vibe of this New Moon is about recognition of barriers, chasms of negativity and with whom amends need to be made.




The rising sign for this chart shows Virgo (the same as for the last full moon interestingly enough – although with 9º variance) just like the full moon; which was the second in a month sagittarius, this re-visit to Virgo invites us to 'look again'. The strengths of Virgo is the dutiful, patient, conscientious and caring elements but of course the weakness is the ease in discriminate criticism and over-bearing righteousness. From my observations much of the latter has been observable present in society in recent weeks and so, I would postulate that the re-visit of Virgo rising asks us reconsider and perhaps look towards the positive traits of Virgo a little more.

Interestingly the ruler of Virgo (previously cited as Mercury) which is Chiron, is right at the Descendent at this chart – the area which depicts the 'other'. Chiron illustrates the inner world of Virgo and, indeed all of us, in wherever we experience Chiron in our charts and our psyches. Chiron is referred to as “the wounded healer” and represents that part of each of us which we feel is tainted, impure, weak or in some way subject to our own personal revoke. This is often experienced in such a personal way that we feel we need to hide, or cover up this so-called weakness. We find it difficult to accept and integrate this side of ourselves and so, often, when we are prodded or questioned in this area we become defensive, uncomfortable and turn our self-criticism outwardly.

The way to work positively with this part of ourselves is so simple however; it is only to recognise that everybody feels this way about some part of themselves. That if we speak of it, share our weaknesses, open up about our fears, others will do the same. Intrinsically all most people want is to feel part of something and close to others; so strangely enough whilst Chiron is what often gives us the urge to separate and protect ourselves, it is the key (the key being the symbol for Chiron) to that which connects us.

As Chiron falls at the connective 7th House/descendant of this new Moon chart we are reminded that we can heal any rifts by allowing ourselves to feel connected and to do this all we need to do is open up. The great thing about astrology is it gives us information about timings. It would easy to logistically 'know' that you need to build a bridge with another, but when a chart shows influences like this, we can be sure others will want to reach out too, or at the very least be far more responsive to such an advance than at any other time.




Now, in some cases difficult times illustrate where irreconcilable differences lurk and with Pluto opposing this New Moon, from the 4th House the inception of some big changes will be timed by this New Moon. Some people will have been trying to deal with issues that have become more and more complex during the last 3 or so months, to the point where it has become obvious change is the only option available. Remember that old cliché that “a break is as good as a rest” and that great decisions are made from a place of clarity, not despair.

For those of you who feel burned out by this incredibly intense Spring/early Summer so far do try to take some time out. It's not a time to make decisions, it's a time to catch up on sleep, reconnect with people you love, spend time with the purity of animals and ride through the Pluto opposition to this Sun-Moon. The truth will always surface with Pluto and so it's okay to stop thinking, take some time and wait for that to occur, naturally organically.




It's going to take Mars a while to build up speed and it also will take another month or so to leave the 'shadow of its retrograde cycle', until then things will unfold and sanity will resurface. Jupiter is still in Virgo; one of its least expressive signs and when it moves into Libra on 10th September we're all going to be feeling so much more upbeat and joyful.

The key is not to be rash with this period, but to take the time to reach out and reconnect to others and if you've got the opportunity; take some time out and switch off the mind. Things will right themselves…..slowly.

Focus on the love. As always. ♥
