“NEW MOON/SOLAR ECLIPSE”
August 21st, 2017

The New Moon in Leo comes together Monday, August 21st, 2017 which is also a rare Solar Eclipse! The most anticipated and debated astrological event of the Summer is finally upon us.

New Moon Times:
Central: 1:30pm
Eastern: 2.30pm
Mountain: 12:30pm
Pacific: 11:30pm
A NEW MOON represents a New Cycle that the cosmos brings into help us create new beginnings. This also happens to be the day of the “Great American Solar Eclipse”, so let’s just get the facts straight:

– NEW MOONS ARE ALSO CALLED “DARK MOONS,” because they give off the lowest light during a calendar month.

– NEW MOONS are when the SUN is Conjunct the MOON. A new moon is a moment when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction, meaning that the Sun and Earth are on the opposite sides of the Moon.

– This NEW MOON is in the sign of Leo astrological this time around.

– On Monday, Aug. 21st the sky will go dark for a short period of time due to the SOLAR ECLIPSE!

– A SOLAR ECLIPSE, as viewed from Earth, occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, fully or partially from the Sun.

– A SOLAR ECLIPSE typically only happens with a NEW MOON, when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction.

– In partial and annular Eclipses, only part of the Sun is obscured; during a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon, the Eclipse on August 21, 2017, is a Total one.

 

This New Moon cycle is the second of two New Moon’s both in Leo in a month. This Solar Eclipse marks the grand finale to this tumultuous “Eclipse Season” and a blazing new beginning on a personal and collective level. Leo is the most dramatic or more like theatrical and radiant sign of the Zodiac signs.

July’s New Moon in Leo was connected strongly to fiery Mars also in Leo, and that fiery energy was the booster to set this energy into motion.

However, the August New Moon’s energy feels more solid, stubborn, resolute, and uncompromising so there won’t be any hesitation, doubt, or resistance allowed at this time!

This New Moon brings with it a mysterious dark shadow that is cast on Earth, due to the “Total Solar Eclipse” also occurring, and this can be a positive influence that helps brings out our intuitive nature, therefore dreams and visions have been quite strong. But it asks us to embrace our weaknesses, and tap into our inner confidence and strength.

The Eclipse is also making a connection to the fixed star “Regulus” the “Heart of the Lion”, so how perfectly fitting for a New Moon in “Leo”. This Star is known as the “little king” and is often associated with royalty and authority, and is believed to be, “the stars, star!”, because of how strongly it affects folks who are in the public eye lives, like movie stars and entertainers.

Regulus adds some serious juice to this rare. cosmic event. Its energy demands nothing less than loyalty and integrity from us, and intense devotion and passion, that only can match this stars warmth, generosity, and brilliance.

*After all, the point of an Eclipse is it helps us accelerate our growth, and it pushes us past our comfort zones, hence why so many of you are feeling anxiety-ridden one minute and completely exhausted the next! This process does move along easier if we move with the energy and give up any resistance to it!*


Astrologically speaking, it doesn’t matter where the shadow of this Eclipse touches our corner of the world, this is a strong energetic gateway that we all are about to walk through, and it creates evolutionary changes within all of us!During this New Moon in Leo, our focus should be on building up our self-confidence by discovering our own paths as individuals. So ask yourself what you want in your life for you, not for your kids or a partner, but just for yourself. This energy also asks us to learn what our special gifts and talents are, and what creative skills we possess. This energy is also about us making a conscious effort to work with others in a more personal way, where we are involved and loving, so working straight from our hearts.

We might enjoy recommitting to an existing romance, hobby, or project that we felt passionate about before. It’s also a good for adding some “play” or leisure time to our lives. Under this potent Leo energy, we have a fighting chance to make amazing changes in our lives and to move forward and progress. For some of us, our circumstances have already demanded we pay more attention to these matters.

The Eclipse is showing us what isn’t working in our lives right now, so we can redo or start something all over again. Something is ending so a new beginning can start!

There are major developments in whatever personal area that’s ruled by Leo in your own personal Astrology Birth Chart, this will occur over the next 3-6 months. However, not everyone gets or feels the same effect from the Eclipse, and certainly not the same intensity. Those folks that have personal planets being activated by the degree of the Eclipse will feel its effects on a very deep personal level. If you want to know more about what area of your life this New Moon/Eclipse is affecting, please get with me to purchase a MINI ECLIPSE READING. And I will do the research and send you a detailed report.

During this NEW MOON, we should commit some time to set some personal goals that we would like to achieve in our life. Our focus should be on all the traits of Leo, (yes no matter your Sun Sign, we all have Leo in our personal Astrology Charts) This helps you learn how to work with this energy and create something new and improved. This NEW MOON brings in a fresh, creative energy into our lives, and even more importantly through our hearts.

This NEW MOON’S lessons are around learning how to be more gracious while negotiating how to keep peace and restore harmony, this is going to be extra important and challenging. But this is how we can have more successful relationships and grow from the process.

Happy Blessed NEW MOON

Setting Intentions under the New Moon

Rubys Astro Readings

New Moon Thursday!

Setting Intentions under the New Moon

The days following a New Moon phase are auspicious. The actual day of the New Moon the Balsamic or dark Moon period marks the beginning point when the heavens shift from dark to light. On the following days, magic is in the air and the inner life is awakened. During the New Moon cycle, we should be asking the Universe for new beginnings, by planting some seeds of intention and getting in touch with our higher-self. It’s a good time to be grateful for what you have and to work on manifesting what you’d like next to show up in your life next.
Setting Intentions under the New Moon
This is an opportune time to ask the Universe for new beginnings. The intentions that are set during a New Moon Ritual will set you on the right path towards your desires. Have a conversation with the Universe (meaning your higher power, God, Source, Guides, Angels, etc.) and ask for the New Moon to open up a path towards your deepest desires, ask to be led to your manifestations. Plant seeds of intentions with your mind and heart. In the simplest of terms, write your wishes down!
Some of you might be asking how does one Set Intentions under the New Moon?
First, you should set the mood, create the energy…so light some candles, burn some incense or sage, and play some calming meditative music. Get comfortable and simply write down your deepest desires, wishes and questions. Ask yourself what would you would like to manifest or create, and what energy are you trying to bring into your life?
As your doing a ritual and setting your intentions, here’s some helpful questions you can think about…for example, what are you choosing or what changes would you like to see in your life? What are you or should you be calling in? How do you feel about what is happening in your life right now, what kind of energy do you want to create in your life during this New Moon?
Next, you’re going to Visualize and feel what you’ve written down. Close your eyes and take some nice long deep breaths, now enter into your heart (the space you feel the love from.) Visualize yourself in the desire or dream you’re creating. For example, see yourself living in that new home, falling in love with that great Soul-Mate, driving that new car. Or keep it simple see that goal being met, see yourself feeling joyful and happy! See yourself manifesting what you would like to call in during the New Moon. Just don’t think about it, make sure and “FEEL IT” as if you were really experiencing what your visualizing.
The New Moon phase is the best time for planning and seeding your intentions. You’re going to need to be patient and wait for those seeds you have planted to grow, just like you would wait on a flower to sprout from a seedling and remember when a plant grows it needs sunlight. This is also true for us as we get our ideas together and make our visions known, it takes some time for our wishes or desires to surface into reality. The dark of the Moon or New Moon, is like the earth when you plant a flower it is dark, but once you ask for your dreams to come in…you are putting your Light on it and that is what it takes for it to grow, just like the Sun makes a flower grow, add some emotions to it and really feel what you are asking for and there is the water a flower would need to grow, see it’s all so symbolic for what we really are doing here.
Last but not least, you should work on being grateful what you already have on this planet, right in the here and now! Tell the Universe thank you and believe me once you start saying or writing down what you are grateful for, it won’t stop it will just keep coming to you. Gratitude is so popular because it works…it’s the key to manifestation.
If you would like to know just how this particular New Moon is affecting you, you can purchase a “One Question” Reading with me and I will do the research for you, just ask me, “What is the May New Moon mean for me?”

Weekly Update Sept. 10

Weekly Update

September 10th

As Summer starts to come to a close and we are finally passed Labor Day, our focus shifts towards everything orange and yellow, and pumpkin spice fills the air and soon it will be Halloween and than Thanksgiving! Ok I so love this time of year, so I am getting overly excited. How about I explain all the different energies the cosmos is bringing in. It’s a cosmic stew.

Jupiter in Libra: Sept 9th 2016 through Oct. 10th, 2017

Starting Friday September 9th, there’s a big shift in energy when abundant, lucky and expansive Jupiter moves out of practical, earthy Virgo and into peace-loving, airy Libra. Jupiter stays for approximately 12 months in each Zodiac sign, so every sign will get a visit in about 12 years. This shift helps things or situations come in more easily, and if anything this is an extremely harmonious energy. It can be a little piece of LUCK for all of you, no matter what your Zodiac sign may be. It just depends on what house it falls in your own personal Astrology chart, to know what area of your life it will affecting.

We all can experience Jupiter’s blessings at some point through October 10th, 2017, but all the Libra folks out there listen up, because you are the most lucky over these next 13 months. There’s even more luck coming in also because Jupiter will be conjunct the Sun in Libra. That’s double the luck for all you Sun Sign Libras! Jupiter aspects can definitely open doors and bring in opportunities, luck, abundance and growth. But if you don’t experience something overly amazing during this time, remember Jupiter also helps us in other ways, like restoring hope and bringing in good vibes that help us feel more optimistic and expansive about life. Which you know all the things you hear about positive thinking, or that you read about online, well it’s true, with positive thoughts come positive energy!

This energy will also affect Libras fellow Air Signs in the zodiac, so Aquarius and Gemini Sun signs can receive some lucky breaks and opportunities as well. We all can look forward to one if not more areas of our lives being affected by this strong energy, it just depends what area Jupiter is cruising through in your own personal Astrology chart. There are doors swinging open and major opportunities to advance during this time. Since every chart is so different in Astrology you can learn more about your own Jupiter energy by purchasing a “One Question” Reading from me, learn just how this Jupiter energy will be affecting you personally!

Email me at healingruby@yahoo.com or message me here on Facebook and ask me “What part of my life is this Jupiter in Libras energy affecting?”

On a grand scale Jupiter’s shift into Libra can help bring folks together, because Libra energy is mostly loving and is all about partnerships and relationships. There will be more commitments in love made during this time like partnerships, engagements, and marriages. Libra is ruled by Venus, who appreciates nothing more than beauty, so this should prove to be an intersting time for the fashion industry, in areas like hair, modeling, makeup and anything to do with what makes us feel beautiful. Anything creative or artistic will also be affected by this very harmonious energy. These industries can see a real interest and upswing over the next 13 months. Libra energy for all of us, no matter your Sun sign is about creating peace and restoring harmony, so folks will come together more easily and work at creating more peaceful solutions. Libra energy is also about balance, so there will also be more Karmic debt balancing going on in the world, and folks will work much harder at making sure if the scales of justice are tipped to far, that justice is served.

Reality Check

Saturn Square Neptune Series Ends

We are smack in the middle of some kind of “Reality Check”, with the teacher of the zodiac Saturn making a rather nasty square to foggy, and always dreaming Neptune. This is the last meeting in a series of three meetings that started back in November of 2015. Thankfully this is the last meeting of the series, and this energy has played out in some way in your life. This energy has caused restrictions and roadblocks for many of you for quite a long time now, it also creates a deeper realization or understanding around something in your life! So the illusion you might have created for yourself in some area of your life or around a certain situation is dissolving, and what you believed the truth to be isn’t actually the truth at all! And I understand it just seems so real all this time.

This energy has caused a lot of relationships to end and certain dreams haven’t been realized.

Saturday can feel rather discouraging, so get out there and have some fun and get away from this energy and allow Lucky Jupiter and loving Venus to take you away from this sobering energy for at least the rest of the day!

The energy that’s being pushed out by this influence has been potent, and the Universe has been handing out messages or clues around something important for you in particular. The good news is this will be officially over after the weekend! The meetings in this series were November 26th, 2015, July 17, 2016 and September 10, 2016. So take a look back to those dates, what were you going through back then and does it relate to anything happening now in your life? Can you make a connection between then and now.

Eclipse Season Continues

We are getting closer to the second Eclipse of the month, and if you thought the first Eclipse on September 1st felt exciting, hold on because this next one on September 16th is a Lunar Eclipse and of course a Full Moon, this can certainly be an emotional time for many of you, but that’s only if you allow it to control you. This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is in the sign of sensitive Pisces, and the energy will be highly charged and folks can get overly emotional and oversensitive about things, so beware of drama!

Eclipses do serve a purpose, and they are working some kind of magic for us. These particular Eclipses repeat every 19 years, so you are now ending a chapter in your life story and on this amazing journey, a new cycle is about to begin for you! And that in itself is exciting. So you may discover you’re living out something that seems familiar to what you were doing back then, even if you don’t understand it yet. Pay attention to those Ah-Ha moments this week and into next to help fill you in, as the Eclipse is repeating old patterns and themes. If you’d like to know more about just how this Eclipse Season is affecting you, and the upcoming Full Moon, just purchase a “One Question Reading” about it from me, and ask me, “How will the September Full Moon Eclipse affect me?”

One thing we should be grateful for during this wild and crazy time is that beautiful, loving Venus and lucky, expansive Jupiter are both now in Libra and can help keep you to be more compassionate and caring. This helps us smooth over any rough edges we might have with others.

Love and Relationship Breakdowns and Breakthroughs

One thing Eclipses can create is trouble in relationships, we often see unexpected break ups during this time. So many of my clients have shared their disappointments of a lover or spouse recently. Since Eclipses often bring in unexpected changes, they also provide amazing insight and opportunities to heal your relationships. From time to time out of fear folks shut their heart centers down, and this causes issues and challenges in relationships. Each and everyone of us come into a relationship with some kind of emotional baggage, and Eclipses tend to bring out what’s in that baggage and trigger old issues within ourselves, this can cause disruptions and sometimes breakups!  Often, we aren’t even aware that our hearts are closed off or we would do something about it. Mostly this is a direct result from childhood because that’s where we learn how to love and do relationships in the first place.
So if you’re having relationship woes, it’s likely unresolved issues with your family or mother, as it is believed. And money problems more often than not are about issues you have had with your father! No that doesn’t mean you had a bad relationship with either parent, or a relationship at all. It means that however they made you feel in your upbringing is now affecting your adult relationships.

Most of us have had both at one point and time. These issues can also be healed once you are made aware of them, which helps you heal your relationship issues. So if your relationship has been rocky or its already ended recently, you can begin the healing process and not repeat the same mistakes. 


Have a good weekend! And take it easy this week.

Love and Luck!

Rubys Astro Readings

Jupiter in Libra

Jupiter the planet of luck and expansion is finally shifting signs after nearly a year of being in VIRGO. Financial stability is usually an issue in one way or another, and the energy of prosperity just like anything else in this life tends to run in cycles. This fall some energy will be building up that seriously can bring in the energy of wealth. Jupiter shifts into LIBRA on September 9th, and brings with it some opportunities to build prosperity!

Jupiter has been in the sign of Virgo for nearly a year now, which has brought us opportunities around our work and health. Jupiter represents abundance, growth, expansion and luck. Once it shifts into LIBRA, here in the next few days, it really can help many of you expand your pocket books and personal wealth. LIBRA is actually ruled by VENUS which rules over Love and Money.

If we look at the planet Jupiter and the sign of LIBRA, these combined energies actually will kick off a lucky period for love, (for some folks.) This energy can help bring together Soul Mates and strong Spiritual Partners, so there’s going to be some serious romance in the air this year! Otherwise if you meet someone who really makes your heart flutter, but they are not the marrying type, this can be more of a “fun nice to have meet you” kind of affair, but it will change you and be something special and memorable! This influence will more than likely start quite a busy Wedding Season for 16/17. This energy also can help pair up perfect business partnerships, that can do some pretty amazing work together and become quite successful.

The upcoming Eclipses in August/September will bring in a repeat of some kind of energy that happened 19 yrs ago in your life. So many of you are actually staring a “New Love” cycle this Fall that continues for the next 19 years. Wow! How Exciting!

Jupiter will transit in LIBRA from September 9, 2016 to October 10, 2017, and LIBRA energy is all about balancing out our lives. Jupiter is about exploration, expansion and taking lucky strides in life to get ahead, which means lots of folks are going to fall in love pretty hard and fast! One thing is forsure this energy can help create some much needed peace in our relationships and partnerships. LIBRA energy brings us a strong desire to create peace and balance. There can be more focus and appreciation for things that are beautiful, we can see more random acts of kindness and lovely gestures being made towards one another.

This influence can also help us balance out our Karmic Debt, so what comes around will definitely go around, what is right and wrong mean more in this energy. What is fair is the main theme. Justice will be served with Jupiter in Libra.

Astro Mid-Week Update 

Posted on by
Standard

There’s some lucky days ahead of us, on July 6th, 8th, and 9th. If you need to initiate something or do something important, these three dates are good to get things off the ground. With the New Moon behind us now, we can start to move forward as the light of the Moon slowly increases daily until the Full Moon in Capricorn on July 19th.

With shocking Uranus squaring the Full Moon, prepare for the unexpected. You might suddenly realize that you have to put some sort of boundaries up, when folks try to violate your personal space. Some people can become extremely pushy as they try to push their agendas, beliefs, and opinions off on you, this can really frazzle your nerves. 

Besides that heavy energy, on the 7th, Venus and Mercury are moving into Leo next week, followed by the Sun on July 22nd. With so many planets in Leo and fire signs, you can expect the energy out there to become very sociable. If you really want to enjoy yourself, there’s some seriously fun energy ahead to enjoy! This energy is much more upbeat and you may feel like. indulging yourself. The Cosmos wants you to play! Come on!! What do you have to lose! And yes you deserve it! 


This Wednesday, the Sun Conjuncts Mercury in Cancer. This is such a positive time to express your feelings. If you’ve been looking for the right time to tell someone how you feel about them or that you are attracted to them, this is the day to do it! It’s just a lovely energy to ask someone to marry you in! 


However, Thursday doesn’t have the same energy, it’s not as favorable with mental Mercury opposing Pluto and Venus and then Squaring Uranus. There may be confrontations and arguments, and power plays are likely. 


On Friday, we can smooth over any rough edges with folks when Mercury and Jupiter connect. This is a good day for communication, short trips and writing….so by the 9th you can quite nicely work on finishing any projects you need to get done. This energy can help us feel more accomplished, which is a nice way to mark you to-do lists done and get on with your weekend.

Astro News “Relationships”

ASTRO NEWS

“Relationships”

A beautiful connection is underway between Venus and Neptune, and we can be much more receptive to such things as beauty, the arts and our imagination! We are just simply tuned in with our hearts to our spirit! Doesn’t that sound magical, well it can be. Harmony, kindness and compassion rule the day with this energy, so it’s important to be gentle with others and harness this energy. The simple pleasures of life can be felt very strongly now.

Relationships can flow much easier because the tension has been removed for now, and we tend to see the best in folks. Romance is highly favored!

There’s just one problem and that is mental Mercury is squaring sensitive Chiron…. as well over these next few days. This energy can have us feeling more reserved and held back when it comes to expressing how we feel. So this can take away some of that beautiful energy from the Venus/Neptune influence and sort of interupt the good vibes it is trying to bring in. It may make it more difficult to trust or believe what other folks are trying to say, or communicate to us, because we don’t quite get how they’re really feeling when they do talk to us.

Weekend Update June 2016

Posted on by

There’s now four planets currently in what’s called Retrograde; Saturn, Mars, Pluto, and now Neptune, which just joined the trio earlier in the week. We’re also in what’s called a “Mutable Grand Cross”, which sounds intimidating in itself, and it is a challenging alignment that can cause lots of changes and frustration. And it’s already proven itself over this last week, and it’s effects might last a few more weeks.

So all of this means that our decision making is difficult now. You probably don’t have the clarity needed under these astrological influences to make any major decisions. If you want to handle thingthing with a level head, it might be best to pause things for a few weeks before forging ahead with any plans or ideas.  On June 17th, Saturn will make an exact Square to spiritual Neptune both in Retrograde! It’s important to NOT believe everything you hear or read, especially online or when the media is involved. There is a lot of deception going on through the weekend. Be careful about meeting people for the first time and thinking you’re in love, illusions are closer then they appear, just like a review mirror. Take your time and get to know the person before assuming everything is perfect.

Venus moves into Cancer today as well. So our Cancer friends are going to be in our hearts, as Venus influences our love life, no matter who the partner is, and our close tight but relationships and friendships and often our money. With Venus in senstive Cancer we can wear our hearts on our sleeves, and feel extremely lovey dovey. But we also can be much more security based with our money on this energy… to the point of insanity! It’s ok to make plans for your financial goals now, but don’t go so overboard with your money that you don’t make room for mistakes and adventures!

This upcoming Full Moon, Monday, June 20th is in Sagittarius. This Full Moon can reveal an ending of some sort in your life and then a new beginning. The Sun will be in Gemini at the same time as the Full Moon and this is a good thing. The Sun will move into Venus later that day and marks the beginning of Summer.

Meanwhile, Mercury is opposing Saturn today as well, so no matter which way you go or turn, there’s probably an obstacle of some sort. So if someone wants a decision out of you, stall or make them wait! If you’re not to sure what this Full Moon will bring you, as far as an ending and new beginning, please order a “One Question Reading” from me! Just message me at healingruby@yahoo.com and ask, “What does the Full Moon mean for me?”

Better news for next week!
There’s a lovely Jupiter/Pluto aspect that happens on June 27th, and it’s easier to make solid decisions later next week into the weekend. Mental Mercury who has a great deal of influence on us, is also in a aspect and can have us feeling quite intuitive, sounds like a great time for a Reading! So things can dramatically change for the better by next weekend. Plus, there’s a lovely Venus/Neptune trine on June 27th. That will be a great day to let your creative juices flow, anything about romance, art or writing should be taking advantage of next weekend. Mars will finally move forward again and out of its Retrograde cycle on the 29th, and we will get our mojo back again, (this one I can’t wait for) …so if you’ve been feeling runned down and as if your motivation is just gone, Mars will help give you that special boost you’ve been needing…once he’s back on track again. But tempers can flair up this week for sure until then, and hostility is in the air. But soon you will be back to take action around the decisions you’ve made days prior.

Final Thoughts
June goes out with a bang when Venus opposes Pluto on the last day of month. You can strengthen a relationship on this day or you can release someone or a situation for once and all. As you can tell June is a very busy month as we feel pushed and pulled on. But as this month winds down some pretty big decisions in your life will be made. Hopefully for the better.
