February Astro Update 

· 02/04/2022 · Astrology · , , , , , , , , , · No Comments

February of 2022 starts off a bit confusing, but there will be NO planets in Retrograde after the 3rd since Mercury is direct! Planets appear to change direction as they orbit the Sun all the time, and it’s actually more common than not, so it’s rare to have months without any Retrograde planets. This “No Retrograde” zone lasts until the end of April, when Pluto heads into its Retrograde cycle on April 29th. 

With no planets Retrograde, it will feel like time speeds up and goes by faster. The past doesn’t matter so much or take up our time, so it’s important to be certain about your next move. This period of time can help make things move quickly and promotes growth. So it’s important to make your intentions known and clear with the Universe! We’ll be much more effective and productive if we stay focused, so take advantage of this time, go after what you want, and make your plans and goals come alive.

February 1

This month starts the Year of the (Water) Tiger in Lunar Astrology, 2022! It runs through January 21st, 2023. After two intense years ruled by the sharp Metal element, we’re move into a flowing two-year Water cycle on February 1st. The Tiger is majestic and protecting, inspiring us to go after the Gold in our life. It’s a very important Sign in Lunar Astrology as it represents being wealthy, but also symbolizes action, strength, and power! Images of the Tiger, especially the White Tiger, are given to people to have the strength to deal with tough times.

February 3

Mercury has moved direct! But unfortunately, it’s connected to powerful Pluto this first week of February, which creates another strong aspect. You can say things you don’t mean as the words can just fly out of your mouth, which can get you in trouble! Watch what you post on social media, folks, and be mindful about what you’re writing and talking about, as you can make people upset or even angry and cause controversy. No matter how communicated, our words hold more power than usual under these influences, so take responsibility for what you communicate.

February 4

The Sun conjuncts Saturn, which can put restrictions on everyone, and you may feel blocked or limited. Luckily this doesn’t last long. It is a good day to start new projects or tasks, but remember Mercury has just gone direct, which means starting anything brand new can go wonky! So it’s best to work on clearing space and clutter and organizing. If you can focus and not get distracted, you can accomplish quite a bit.

February 5

Today’s a time to live in the moment, stay in the present. Don’t focus on future plans and goals on this day. Let your worries go, and just be thankful for what you already have. The simple pleasures in life are what have the most value. So enjoy what you value and love.

February 6

You might have some annoying mistakes happen today, but don’t get upset over it. If someone makes you upset or angry, try not to lash out or retaliate. It’s all too easy to burn bridges and not be able to mend them later.

February 7

Today you may feel sort of stuck and like things aren’t moving forward. This influence might feel like things are actually moving in slow motion. It’s OK. Take things slowly, and know you can’t rush things on this day. And it’s best to keep your schedule light and at a much slower pace.

February 8

Mars trines Uranus. You might start noticing this feel-good energy a few days ahead of the 8th. It will help you get through work and build something in your life. There will be clear messages coming in from the Universe, so look for A-ha moments and epiphanies, and take notes! It’s a good time to enjoy the company of your loved ones.

February 14 

On this day of Love, mental Mercury goes into a different headspace as it shifts back into the sign of Aquarius, but it’s no longer Retrograde! With Mercury in Aquarius (until March 9th), all matters of information, processing, communication, short travel, and learning can take us away from the mundane into different Uranus-ruled (Uranus rules Aquarius) realms. But our thinking is also practical, and we take our responsibilities more seriously due to Saturn co-ruling Aquarius energy. So this cycle continues to extend new and original ideas and things from the last New Moon. We can be emotionally detached on this day, but we still enjoy honoring traditions.

February 16 

A Leo Full Moon occurs, so mark this day as a good time for some retail therapy. Some seriously good deals and sales can happen, and gambling can go well. But DON’T spend a bunch of money because you read this, please! The earlier in the day you do these things, the better. Enjoy!

February 18

The Sun enters Pisces on February 18, starting Pisces season. Happy Birthday to all the brilliant fishes out there! Jupiter and Neptune are already in Pisces, and there will be a New Moon in Pisces on March 2nd. This Stellium of planets in Pisces will bring a creative burst into our lives where our imagination and sense of spirituality are strong! The energies will be much more relaxed and expansive until the Sun shifts around March 21st into Aries, and Spring begins.

The last week of the month brings in the more harmonious energies that are more supportive, especially in our relationships. And the Cosmic lover’s Mars and Venus harmonize with Neptune turning our attention to our spirit and who we love most, which helps lessen our ego’s reactions. Mercury harmonizes with Healer Chiron to help us understand and heal any toxic or negativity in our lives.

New Moon & Setting Intentions

“New Moon Setting Intentions Guide”

There’s a New Moon occurring soon, which makes this the best time of the Lunar Month to set some powerful intentions. These Wish Lists Intentions can be about your future goals. Learning how to work with the cycles of the Moon can be a life-changing experience.

*Setting Intentions*

During a New Moon cycle, we should be asking the Universe for new beginnings, by planting seeds of intention from our heart and getting in touch with our higher-self. It’s a good time to be grateful for what we have, so we can work on manifesting what energy we want to come into our lives next. We can create whatever it is we desire, such as a better life, more money, happiness, or even love! It really doesn’t matter, but we have to take an action, both, physically and spiritually, together, to make it really happen and stick! And no, not everything you want is going to just magically appear. But you will more than likely get put on the path towards your wishes, even if you don’t realize it and that sometimes take time, so be patient. But it’s nice to know at least we are headed in the right direction.

Also, just sometimes when you Set Intentions with the New Moon energy amazing things happen and you get what you want very quickly!

At least by “Setting Intentions” with the energy of the New Moon, you’ve made it clear to the Universe what path you’d like to begin heading down and that’s a start. Then the energies will begin to line up to get you there, and if you continue to stay persistent and connected, and keep doing this work it truly can change your life circumstances for the better. This work, just works! It’s that simple.

The intentions that are set during a New Moon will set you on the right path towards your desires. The New Moon is a magical time of New Beginnings when you can recharge your goals with new energy. During the New Moon, we often experience some sort of major “energy shift.”

Here are some ideas on just how to Manifest under a New Moon:

1. Get clear about something you want and write it down.

2. Share your Intentions with someone in a supportive way, who will be encouraging.

3. Do something to demonstrate your commitment to your intention. For example, taking even a small action around what it is your asking to create! Send an email, move something in your house, or make a phone call perhaps.

4. Acknowledge that you did what you said you would, and then take the next step.

So have a conversation with the Universe (meaning your higher power, God, Source Energy, higher-self, Guides, Angels, etc), and work with the New Moons energy to help illuminate the path that will lead you toward your deepest desires. Simply ask to be led to what you’re choosing to manifest. Remember to be patient and simply allow the time needed, things don’t always happen right away, as we can get taken down certain paths to find our way to what it is we’re looking for. And sometimes magic just happens, you just never know!

What if you don’t know how to “Set Intentions” under the New Moon?

Follow the Steps below to learn how:

Step One: Clear Your Sacred Space

Clear the energy of the area or room you’re using to do any New Moon work. Think about where you are going to do this work, because we create an energy vortex wherever we sit or sleep. This is mainly why you feel so good in your favorite chair, because it’s comfortable and feels safe and secure, but also because you have created an energy vortex in that spot or space.

You are simply calling in some positive energy to work with. Burn some Sage or Incense and clear the energies! Maybe say a blessing or a special prayer that helps you feel cleared and protected. Next, close your eyes and breathe deeply and call upon your Guides, Angels, or higher power and ask to have your sacred space cleared, and then to fill up the special space you are working in with the energy of light, love, and protection. Never leave energy empty, always fill it with something once you’ve cleared it. Never leave a VOID when working with energy.

Step Two: Set the atmosphere

Set the mood for your New Moon Ritual and burn some special incense, light some candles (colors of candles do have different energies and meanings), and play some music that helps you feel spirituality connected. This can be a very different experience for everyone, just make sure to use whatever colors, music, and tools that make you feel calm, centered, and peaceful.

Step Three: Setting Intentions

You’re going to need a notebook, paper, or a journal and something to write with.

Now write what energy you’d like the Universe to bring in. Simply write your deepest desires, wishes, and questions. Think about what energy you’re trying to manifest or create. Write a letter, like as if you are talking to an old friend. Think about what energy you’re trying to bring into your life, and be detailed about what you want to see happen next in your life, and what energies you’re willing to work with.

As you’re doing this work and Setting your Intentions, here are some helpful questions you can think about. For example; ask for what you’re choosing or what changes you would 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 now? What do you want to change and create?

Think about your long-term goals and future. Be careful about focusing too much on the how, why, and when’s around how you will get what you want! Instead, focus more on what it is you are choosing and how you want to FEEL. See the end result! Only see the ultimate ending and again what it feels like when you receive what it is you are choosing! What you see in your mind’s eye, so don’t focus on how you get it, or the hurdles you have to jump, or sacrifices you may have to make. Just allow the Universe to shoulder the burden for you once you have requested what you want and let them take care of the rest. Have some faith in something. Rule # One is always energy follows thought, it will come to you in one way or another, or you’ll be put at least on a path towards your goals.

Step Four: Visualize

It’s time to visualize what you have written. Close your eyes and take some long deep breaths, so in your nose and out your mouth. Repeat this about 4 or 5 times. See the energy of your heart center, that’s in the middle of your chest, not over your pumping heart but your spiritual heart or commonly referred to as the “Heart Chakra.” Visualize yourself in what you are actually trying to create or manifest. For example: see yourself living in that new home, falling in love with that Soul-Mate, or driving that new car. Just don’t think it folks, make sure and FEEL IT, as if you were really experiencing what you’re visualizing!

Allow the Universe to show you which paths to follow over the next month, and look for any signs or symbols that will help you along your journey, so you may bring in what you truly desire and let go of what you don’t want! Don’t forget to show gratitude in some way and tell the Universe or Moon thank you in advance.

You also might gain some clarity around something or someone that is not serving your higher good, and they actually could be blocking you from your desires. So, in other words, pay attention after you’re done doing this work so you can clearly understand what the Universe is trying to show you!

Have a blessed New Moon and good luck. ~Ruby

Mars in Capricorn
January 24 – March 6, 2022

Mars, the planet that rules over our aggression, anger, passions, and motivation, has shifted into practical Capricorn after spending nearly six weeks in the sign of Aquarius.

This new energy cycle gives us an intimate personal look at expressing our anger and rage. We have an opportunity to learn how to deal with our aggression. And what sets off our triggers and feeds our passions. What really motivates or drives you?

Capricorn is an earth sign, so we strive to keep our emotions more in check because we want solid, secure, and stable energies at all times. At least we’re not fantasizing about our feelings and dealing with reality, which is helpful, while the Sun is in Aquarius, which is more idealistic energy. It can help us stay more grounded.

The planet Mercury, still in Retrograde, has unfinished business as it moves through the sign of the mystical sea-goat, Capricorn, and now Mars; we have many Capricorn-themed lessons and challenges to take on. You might go back to previous jobs, work, projects, or old followed traditions in your life. It’s a time to redo, revisit, or go over something again.

With Mars in Capricorn, our energy is best used when channeling it into something more professional or related to business. We tend to be more conventional and conservative. We enjoy seeing more practical results for now, so a job well done gives us a strong sense of accomplishment.

Mars is the planet of action, so its influence helps us take action and go after what we want, even if we have to fight for it! With Mars in earthy Capricorn, we’re better are being more strategic than impulsive. So we are more tenacious and willing to work hard to achieve what we truly desire. We are more assertive, practical, rational, disciplined, self-controlled, and efficient. We take our responsibilities more seriously, and with Mars in Capricorn, we’ll take action to take care of business.

The good news with Mars in Capricorn is that we tend to consider our future consequences before making any major decisions. We are more faithful, reliable, and committed. So please take advantage of the laser-like focus and discipline we carry to finish important projects. This energy helps us level up! It’s time to look at your long-term goals and the big picture. So you can work on strategies to reach them.

Be mindful that we can come off as selfish, cold, calculating, and materialistic during this cycle and end up showing total disregard for other people’s feelings. So it’s important to pay attention to how you are reacting to others if you don’t want to come off the wrong way.

So, for now, it’s better to focus on your future goals and plan out where you want to go. It will be much easier to achieve your goals, desires, and dreams and bring them to life with Mars in Capricorn because this is manifesting energy!

And Mercury will be out of Retrograde by February 2, so you can gain some serious momentum by the end of this cycle and get much accomplished. Start planning your actions now. It’s not that far away.

Aquarius Season Has Arrived!

Sun Enters Aquarius

PAY FOR A READING HERE

The Sun has shifted into inquisitive Aquarius! Happy Birthday to all my Aquarius peeps, and welcome to AQUARIUS SEASON, everyone!

This cycle keeps us hungry for knowledge and experience for the next month. There’s a stronger urge to mingle again and be much more social. This energy helps us be creative and search for new ways to do things. We seek what’s original, different, or unique. It’s a time of self-expression, as our thoughts and actions both drive our ambitions.

During this time, we can become increasingly aware of what is no longer working in our lives and can strive to find what will, so we’re open to learning fresh new ideas, viewpoints, and perspectives. After all, Aquarius is the Zodiac’s humanitarian, so we can feel pulled to like-minded people in group settings to help people get what they rightfully need and deserve.

With the Sun in Aquarius, we can feel artistic, friendly, and social. So our general attitude about life is more peaceful but also concerned. We can be quite detached emotionally simply because we want to take care of business. So our focus is strongly outside of ourselves, but we usually have a motive or agenda.

This energy can be nerve-wracking for some and even raise some anxiety levels, especially if you focus on what’s lacking in your life. If you can turn this worrisome energy into something to be earned, you can manifest dreams by setting goals and plans for the future. Tackle one thing at a time and prepare yourself.

Concentrate on helping others because being detached from our emotions helps us put our feelings aside just long enough to take care of business and get much accomplished.

Now that it’s officially Aquarius Season, we as individuals will seek more independence and freedom. The status quo doesn’t satisfy, especially with so many other planets soon dipping in and out of Aquarius. We’re going to work very hard now to free ourselves from any restrictions, limitations, and inhibitions that keep us feeling blocked or constrained.

We’re still in the battle against Covid, so there are ongoing lockdowns and restrictions that we must follow, and under this Aquarius energy, we don’t like it. So we may not get to be as social as we’d like, but where there’s a will, there’s a way!

The other issue is with all things Aquarian-themed; we don’t sit well with limitations being made upon us (even if they’re for our own good), which is what has caused so much of the distress and controversy over the last few years. So we can get irritated more easily with such a deep desire to be free and feel alive!

The shadow side of Aquarius is rebellion and possible revolution, and that’s already begun here in the US and many other countries. It’s important to get out of our comfort zones and look into the furthest parts of our minds for answers and more peaceful resolutions during this time.

There’s a lot of movement and excitement, usually during Aquarius Season, and brilliant ideas and discoveries. We tend to be more open-minded to experience more awareness and knowingness. And there are some seriously important A-Ha moments and epiphanies being handed out through the Aquarius influence, as it is ruled by Uranus, the planet of higher information.

You can experience strokes of genius and be flooded with information during this time. Taking notes and journal writing can be quite telling during this cycle.

With the Sun in Aquarius, we can express ourselves more openly. To flow better with this energy, you should try new ways of communicating and expressing yourself. Areas of study that involve science, technology, and metaphysics can go extremely well. The New Age is “In,” being in the “Age of Aquarius,” as this sign is known for producing futuristic and progressive energy. So we’re attracted to the strange, unusual, bizarre, or just something different.

Conventional values are changed up during this time, with fresh and exciting horizons ahead, we are motivated by spirit. Now with the Sun and mental Mercury also in the sign of Aquarius, we get the chance to stretch our minds, bodies, and spirits. Explore the possibilities safely and enjoy what you invent and discover.

Holiday Eclipse Season 2021

· 11/13/2021 · Astrology · , , , , , , , , , , , · No Comments

Lunar Eclipse

The Holiday Eclipse Season is officially underway, and it often brings important life-changing energies into our lives. Eclipses always bring endings and new beginnings. The influence from an Eclipse can last up to a month or more after its peak, and some folks may have to deal with its side effects for up to a year. Eclipses often shake things up in our lives to create much-needed changes. These energies can force us to do something different or uncomfortable to initiate changes. 

A long time ago, many Astrologers and religious leaders believed that Eclipses created bad luck, especially for those in power or authority figures.

Eclipse Season kicks off with a Lunar Eclipse that occurs on November 19. There are always two Eclipses back to back, a Lunar & Solar one. 

The Nov. 19 Lunar Eclipse is in the sign of Taurus and occurs at 3:57 AM EST, 2:57 AM CST. This energy is strong and potent because a Lunar Eclipse is basically triple the energy of a Full Moon. So it can be extremely intense and difficult to handle for some people. 

During a Lunar Eclipse, we see truths come to light, which has already begun. It’s like taking truth serum. Since we are smack in the middle of Scorpio Season and under the influence of a Scorpio Stellium (3 or more planets in the same sign) involving Mars and Mercury, it’s truth-telling time when lies, secrets, repressed feelings, both hidden or denied, are revealed. 

This Eclipse energy is all over us throughout the rest of the year. As information randomly shows up, endings are also very possible. The Scorpio influences were under are ruled by Pluto, which represents endings, transformation, death, and rebirth. So these themes will play out in our lives, as we are already experiencing.  Eclipse Season, we tend to see the souls who are at peace with their lives, and are ready to leave, crossover. 

The second Eclipse is a Solar Eclipse that occurs on December 4 in the sign of Sagittarius. Solar Eclipses are just the opposite of a Lunar Eclipse and often bring new beginnings. Solar Eclipse can feel draining, but ultimately can revitalize and recharge us after they peak, as we receive interesting downloads of information and learn new and valuable information. 

The Holiday Eclipses mark the beginning of eight Eclipses that fall in the Signs of Taurus and Scorpio over the next two years. The fixed signs of the Zodiac, Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius, both Sun & Rising Signs, will be most affected by these energies, but we all can feel them in one way or another. These energies are profoundly strong but can often be felt in subtle ways, so you’ll learn what part of your life they affect over time. 

If you’re into Astrology and know how to look up your Chart info, look for where Taurus and Sagittarius are in your Personal Birth Chart, and the House they’re transiting, and what it represents. That part of your life that will be the most affected. 

This November Lunar Eclipse may present us with more challenging energy than usual because of the other Cosmic connections between planets occurring simultaneously. At least don’t make any decisions or draw conclusions until it’s over. Gather information during this time and see all that you learn first. 

The Solar Eclipse on December 4 will be quite interesting because it connects to the United States Astrology Chart. (Every country, state, and even city in the world has its own birthday and an Astrology Birth Chart!) 

Solar Eclipses bring powerful and potent energies into our lives. The December Solar Eclipse comes along with the New Moon, so it’s an excellent time to Set Intentions with the Universe. Make your hopes, dreams, and wishes known. Get your thoughts out of your head and heart and written down, and make some magic happen! 

The United States and the Eclipses 

On December 4, the Solar Eclipse falls at 12 degrees in the sign of Sagittarius. This placement is interesting because the United States Ascendant or Rising sign is also at 12 degrees of Sagittarius. This conjunction is potent for the United States. 

The Holiday Eclipses of 2021 won’t be nearly as destructive as ones in the past, but they still can shake things up quite a bit. This influence will continue through June of 2022. There will be many endings and chapters closing and new beginnings initiated after the Eclipse occurs. 

FYI – Anyone who celebrates a birthday on the day before or after an Eclipse tends to have important major events for 12 months afterward. 

If you’d like a sneak peek at just how these Eclipses will affect your personal life, then think back to the Fall of the year 2002 and review the theme of that time. Depending on what part of your Astrology Birth Chart, the Eclipses are transiting are the part of your life the Eclipses will affect the most. 

These Eclipse energies can take a lot of time and attention away from other parts of your life until the next Eclipses occur in the spring of 2022. 

We must balance our responsibilities out in our lives during this time. The best way to do that is through spiritual practices that help you connect with your true authentic self, like meditation and journal writing. But so whatever works for you to stay grounded.

Venus Enters Leo – Love is Grand!

· 06/28/2021 · Astrology · , , , , , · No Comments

Venus Enters Leo

Venus, the Goddess of Love, rules over Relationships, Love, and often Money enters the fixed “Fire” Sign of Leo starting on June 26 and runs through July 21.

Our love lives can be magnificent and grand during this cycle. There’s a stronger need for affection and physical connections. Holding down our inner fire or flames of love may be more difficult. It’s time to shine and show your inner light to those you care for and love. 

Venus in Leo boosts our love life, so we desire more excitement and playfulness in our relationships. Leo is the sign of self-expression, which is more evident in our love life and financial affairs. We want to be seen and heard as we’re more willing to express our feelings outwardly. We enjoy sharing our opinions more than usual. 

But trust and loyalty are more of an important factor with Leo energy involved. So if we care for someone we don’t trust, we might decide to shut down altogether under this cycle. Even though we can express our feelings more freely, we should pay attention to how we are treated by lovers, friends, and family members. Their actions can reveal a whole lot about how they feel.

We may feel more sensual and desirable, taking pride in our love lives now, and we’re usually more helpful and generous with our hearts, resources, time, and money. While Venus is in Leo, we’re generally more warm-hearted, extravagant, and flirty. Love and relationships can be a game that never ends. We tend to think with our “Hearts,” so this energy keeps us in a constant romantic state in our relationships with people period.

However, we may act more demanding or aggressive with our lovers, wanting more affection, attention, devotion, and honesty. We may try to fulfill emotional needs with pleasurable affairs. A stronger desire for instant gratification can lead to intimate affairs with the wrong people. There can be unexpected or unwanted consequences. 

As passionate Mars connects to Venus during this cycle, keep yourself in check, they’re forming the “Cosmic Marriage” of the year. Together Venus and Mars, aka the “Cosmic Lovers,” ignite our passions and sex drive, enhancing the Venus in Leo energy. 

With Venus in Leo, our love language is expressed more so through our actions and the affections we share. We crave physical touch and strongly desire sexual activity. It can be more difficult to separate lust and sex from love at this time. However, this energy is quite romantic, so it’s a great time to spice up your life with some new romantic adventures with lovers or partners. 

Neptune, the Spiritual Guru of the Cosmos, recently turned Retrograde. This influence can amplify our emotions and cause self-doubt, which throws off our instincts and intuition. Neptune Retrograde casts a fog over our better judgment, which is unfortunate since Leo energy is very strong when it comes to following one’s instincts, but our senses and feelings may not be as accurate. Remember to keep this in mind before making any crazy moves like redoing your home or buying something because you think you’re getting a deal. Or when you decide to declare your undying love to someone new or old. Think about things first.

Luckily, Venus in regal Leo builds confidence to feel pride in our relationships and financial affairs. But we can be rather impulsive while looking for love and go after the wrong sort of person. Take your time and think before doing anything foolish with love or money, especially with foggy Neptune Retrograde. We can spend some cash, as retail therapy is quite appealing but that can backfire. We’re more attracted to flashy, expensive items. So be careful about overspending and don’t believe everything you are told or read.

Our desire for attention is strong during the Venus in Leo cycle, especially from our partners and lovers. We rather enjoy being admired, acknowledged, and validated during this cycle. Our ego is especially strong, so things like love, money, and pastimes needs to be more satisfying and pleasing. Desiring what’s grand and big can lead to more spontaneous and bold behavior. We want the best and we can brag and boost about who we are and what we are doing. We tend to have a flair for the dramatic during this cycle, simply for the attention, it brings. 

Focus on self-care during this cycle since we are craving to be loved and admired. Take some time to appreciate who you are, start up some self-care rituals, and put them into your daily routines. It’s a great cycle to treat yourself and do some sort of pampering. After all, we can feel like royalty. Practice daily rituals or activities like meditation (from the heart), positive affirmations, or journal-writing. Make little love notes or letters to yourself.

Try to work on building up your self-confidence and knowing you are loved and are worthy of love. Don’t mistakenly rely on someone else to fill the void within yourself just to be validated. Rather fill yourself up with love and compliments, and support your friends and tribe. Treat yourself to some small gifts. It’s ok! You’re worth it. Just don’t break the bank! While Venus is in Leo, we enjoy showing off, so we shower the people we love with attention and gifts. But it’s emotionally satisfying to spoil our lovers and partners. 

This energy can be quite powerful, so Venus transiting Leo encourages us to love ourselves and others more deeply, with passion and affection. Because we want the best for ourselves, we may not stop until we get it. So it’s a good time to set boundaries, but our expectations can be set to a higher standard when it comes to love and relationships, as Leo’s energy won’t settle for anything less than someone fabulous and heartfelt.

Enjoy this time.

Full Moon – Jan 2021

Full Moon Update

The Full Moon or Wolf Moon occurs in Leo on January 28, 2021, at 2:16 PM EST, 1:16 PM CST, 12:16 PM MST, 11:00 PM PST.

The Full Moon in Leo marks the beginning of a new cycle in our life once again.

The Moon is Full when the Sun in Aquarius opposes the Moon in Leo. The Full Moon is a powerful influence that activates our emotions, so it’s helpful to find a balance between the Sun and Moon’s opposition.

During this Full Moon, the Universe is inviting you to work on something specific. Think about what part of your life is on your mind and where there’s tension. Focus on letting something go, even if it’s just a bad feeling or behavior. Let your intuition be your guide and help you solve any problems happening in your life. This Full Moon energy teaches us how to sync our logical thinking with our intuition.

The Full Moon pulls on our emotions, causing nervousness, excitement, anxiety, and exhaustion. Insomnia is also a side effect of the Full Moon for many, and our dreams can be especially strong and vivid. As we focus more on the relationships, we have with other people.

This particular Full Moon wants us to learn how to balance our personal life with our impersonal world. Leo’s proud Full Moon helps us tap into our creativity and gives us a boost of confidence and courage to express ourselves. We can learn that pleasure is a good thing under this energy, as some people find it difficult or feel guilty for enjoying themselves! This is a romantic Full Moon!

However, the Sun in Aquarius teaches how to work with a group and be part of a team. It’s focused on our impersonal connections and acquaintances. While learning about our individuality and independence and why we need to be part of a “team.” Work on opening your mind and being objective in relationships. Find balance in friendships and romantic endeavors.

The bright Full Moon in the night sky symbolically illuminates our emotional issues and brings forth the truth! It is a time of awareness and growth. We can experience sudden epiphanies or A-ha moments. But the visions we have are relatively new and emotional. It can be tough to hold our tongue due to a strong urge to express how we feel. This helps us release what’s no longer working through self-expression. Over the next few weeks, we might understand this Full Moon’s lessons.

The Full Moon and Sun are aligning with giant Jupiter this time around. So we can feel more hopeful and optimistic, and courageous! It’s important to be realistic, with Jupiter and Saturn still in close proximity. Saturn wants us to follow the rules and stick to earthly business. The Moon also squares Mars, which causes impulsive behavior and combative attitudes!

A may not be so easy to hold our feelings in with such a strong urge to express them, which we should be doing in healthy ways. So Zen it out, and try activities like Meditation, Journal-writing, Exercise, or whatever helps you connect to your higher-self. We’re feeling raw emotions right now that aren’t rational, so give yourself some time to process your feelings. It’s important under the Full Moon to raise our energies to a higher vibrational level. If we can sustain a higher vibration within ourselves, then our life will reflect
it, and we can manifest our goals, wishes, and desires much easier.

Each month the Full Moon helps us discover certain truths, and this clarity helps us choose what specific wishes we need to manifest. The Full Moon helps us let go and release situations, people, or behaviors that aren’t working or serving us. Endings happen during this time, and in two weeks from now, as the New Moon occurs, we fan plant seed of intention for something new to begin.

Wishing you a safe and happy blessed Full Moon!

New Moon – January 2021

New Moon Alert 🌟

The New Moon in Capricorn peaks on January 13, 2021, at 12:01 AM EST.

The New Moon in Capricorn symbolizes new beginnings and a Cosmic new cycle. It comes together when the Sun and Moon align both in the sign of practical Capricorn. New Moon’s are generally more harmonious and put off a easy-going kind of energy. Depending upon what other planets the New Moon is connecting with, and the other Cosmic transits at play. 

We can focus on some of the more positive traits of the sign of the mystical Sea-Goat, Capricorn, during this New Moon, as we all have this sign in our Astrology Birth Charts. We can feel more tenacious, resourceful, disciplined, ambitious, wise, prudent, and constant. We should figure out ways to tap into these special qualities within ourselves and in our lives.

It’s a time to focus on what’s practical, steady and look for attainable long-term goals. It’s good to develop our common sense and maturity levels by taking care of our responsibilities. Making preparations for the future through commitments and nurturing our hopes and dreams more realistically can help us succeed.

Under this potent Capricorn energy, we can finally create some order in our world, since it has been so chaotic lately. It’s a good time to make secure plans and to reap the rewards from the new beginnings that come our way. Dream up plans no matter how small or big they may be, so when the Full Moon comes together in a few weeks, we can tap back into this energy.

Capricorn energy teaches all of us the value of accountability and acceptance. We must understand that boundaries and rules are actually what gives us freedom from worry and chaos. If goals are put in place under this energy, we’ll have more time to focus on what really matters and our security.

This lunation is also aligning with powerful Pluto on the day of the New Moon, which intensifies its energies. This New Moon’s influence will be highly concentrated, and we can be much more focused, driven, ambitious, and obsessive.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 23 degrees and 13 mins of Capricorn, affecting those born with personal planets and points at 19 to 27 degrees of the Cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn most significantly. But this affects all of us in one way or another.

Setting Intentions

It’s that time again! Under this New Moon energy, we can ask the Universe for our wishes, hopes, and dreams! Write down and then visualize them into existence and take the time to feel what it’s like actually to have them, be it through visualization or meditation. Just don’t get hung up on the details of how you’re reaching your goals. Only focus on having what you truly desire. Keeping it realistic, as we are under all this Capricorn energy, so it’s important to stay focused on what’s truly attainable.

Happy Blessed New Moon ~Ruby

November New Moon

· 11/14/2020 · Astrology · , , , , , , , , , · One Comment

Nov. 14/15-New Moon

For All Zodiac Signs 

The New Moon is in the sign of Scorpio on November 14th or 15th, depending on your Time Zone, but is felt now and throughout the weekend. With both the Sun and Moon in the sign of Scorpio, it is super strong and potent. And can be a powerful time to work on yourself. 

Think about doing some New Moon energy work. Simply, make out a Wish List or write down what you want to start or begin under this New Moon energy! Set Intentions! New Moons always bring New Beginnings, but this particular New Moon is all wrapped up nice and tight in the sign of endings, Scorpio, the sign of the Zodiac that represents resurrection. We may have to fall or fail, or let something end in our lives, only to rebuild ourselves anew! We then can rise like the stories of the Pheonix and create a new better life for ourselves in one way or another. 

It is also Eclipse Season, so our Moon work can involve releasing and letting go, perhaps finish or close something in your life. Make wishes and wish-lists, write about whatever you want! Release a situation, person, or what you should let-go, this also can include worn-out old beliefs and behaviors. This New Moon energy is transformational and can be life-changing.

In the weeks ahead, we’ll be working on our self-mastery skills. It’s a good time to discover what parts of our lives feel out of control. We can release our inner demons with things like addiction or debts and free ourselves from emotional burdens. This energy produces an opportunity to get rid of any excess “stuff” we have been holding on to in our lives, be it material or spiritual. We may feel moved to dig much deeper when it comes to life’s mysteries rather than staying content with the status quo. So it’s important to get in touch with what motivates you, and what will enhance your feelings for intimacy, forgiveness, and meaning. We have a deeper need to feel a sense of purpose and depth in our lives and within our souls. We can truly move forward by doing things during this cycle to develop a new idea, project, or relationship.

Look for ways to release any fears of confrontation or emotionally heavy situations. This New Moon energy can help us learn by taking us out of our comfort zone and making us uncomfortable. So even if a situation is tense it can lead us into psychological healing.

This New Moon is harmonizing with Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto as well. We can quickly discover support and motivation from within to accomplish our goals, as this energy has our back and can help us set goals. It gives us the drive and imagination to make things work.

Still, during the New Moon loving Venus is forming a tense Square to Pluto, the planet of transformation and lord of the underworld. Goddess, Venus also squares off with over the top Jupiter! These influences can cause major disruptions, which can lead us into exploring our true motivations. What makes us tick! With the TRUTH out of the bag, we can understand the deeper meanings of any challenging situation that comes our way.

It’s important to keep ourselves in check when it comes to exaggeration, so we shouldn’t go out of our way to seek approval, love, or more meaning in our lives, or we can blow things way out of proportion. We can overstate, boost, and brag. As we express ourselves and our feelings in a big way. Watch for doing things in excess and stirring up drama just to get attention, as we can give certain situations much more time and energy than their worth. We might think we can get noticed through exaggerating, but this will surely backfire.

These Cosmic transits can also magnify or boost our insecurities, which means we can feel suspicious, jealous, or paranoid. Socially the interactions we have can be intense and can provoke tense feelings with those involved. Any relationship drama that comes up can get in the way of our goals with our lovers or partners. Our financial affairs can also have major highs and lows, big wins, or big losses, so choose wisely!

Warning Possible Triggers: You May Need to Skip this Part if you are Sensitive!

The Covid19 Virus is surging strongly right now, as Astrologically it’s peaking from the long-term Saturn/Pluto and Jupiter/Pluto Conjunctions that have been occurring all year long! Now with somany planets in Scorpio, and Eclipse Seasonunderway things are out of control! The energy of the Zodiac Sign Scorpio and Eclipse Season, both are about Endings! However, it also helps us to rebuild and manifest a new way of handling the Virus. 

As we figure out how to get vaccinations out to the masses, we need to be extremely careful! Protect the younger, older, and vulnerable folks! Please take the necessary precautions we’ve been warned about repeatedly to help bring this surge down. And please just wear your mask around other people! The good news is the Cosmic influences that helped bring the Virus in are now finally over! So once we get past Eclipse Season, we will start to see a major shift and even more so into the New Year. As we get through the final dramatic months of 2020, do your best to be extra careful and work together. 

Happy New Moon

Mars shift into fiery Aries!

· 06/26/2020 · Astrology · , , , , , , , · One Comment

https://brianmviveros.com/

Mars the planet that rules over our motivation, physical actions, assertive drive, ambition, passion, war, and sexual drive shifts signs on June 26, 2020, into more fast-paced, impulsive Aries all the way through January 6th, 2021. That is a really long time for Mars to be in one sign. Its extended stay in trailblazing Aries is due to its upcoming Retrograde phase, which starts on Sept. 9th and runs through Nov. 13th.

Mars is exceptionally comfortable in its home sign of Aries, as it’s ruler naturally. Our energy levels are stronger than usual, and we are more spontaneous, forward-looking, and bolder, and courageous under its influence, as it tends to get things moving so we are more active and confident. If we just follow our instincts, we can get things done super fast and precisely.

As Mars shifts into Aries this week, you’ll notice a definite surge in energy, motivation, and initiative. You don’t need anyone else to light that fire under you to get you going when Mars is transiting Aries. Talk about the ultimate self-starter. With this competitive, entrepreneurial energy in the sky, you will definitely want to begin a personal project. In addition to the remarkable energizer battery of Mars in Aries, you will also notice plenty of courage and fighting spirit. You will not back down from anything or anyone! Just remember, neither will others so expect an argument or a fight if there’s a situation you and someone else butt heads over. At least it will be an honest battle, though as Mars in Aries is not going to allow us to hide anything especially, our agendas.

After all, Mars is the planet of war, anger, and challenges, especially in its own sign of Aries the Warrior! So it tends to cause tension, restlessness, and anxiety for some. However, this also can be a very positive influence that gives us lots of energy. But we must be careful not to lose our cool. We have a strong competitive spirit as our goal is to win! But what are you battling for.? What are you winning in the end? Is it worth it? You are going to need to ask yourself these questions, as this influence can help us stay on task and motivated, but it also can cause impulsive behavior that can get people all fired up over much of nothing! Like things haven’t been heated-up enough out there! This energy could really make protests explode even more so, however with the Virus spreading like wildfire again, we are made to stay in once again, so we are going to need ways to get this energy out, so we don’t let it turn into anger.

Mars in Aries gives us a warrior-like attitude, therefore, its influence can spark up debates and discussions where we feel compelled to share our opinions and defend ourselves. Social media has already been exploding due to our current ongoing circumstances, so many of you will be sharing your frustrations, and there will be more arguing, of course. But remember, ask yourself if it’s worth it or not first.

When it comes to your sex life, expect a boost in libido. With Mars in Aries, we want immediate gratification and will do whatever it takes to get our needs met. There’s so much dynamic energy around this placement that you may wonder if there’s anything to worry about. Well, as with any planetary alignment, there’s a positive expression and a not so positive one. When Mars in Aries shines its light, we become fearless warriors or innovative pioneers. When it’s operating in the shadow, however, we can be rash, impatient, and selfish.

The darker side of Mars being in the sign of Aries is that we can sometimes be impatient, arrogant, impulsive, and self-centered! But if we can remember to take time out’s and not let our tempers get lit up so fast, as we can also be more authentic, enthusiastic, and straightforward. But we can also be quite narcissistic and not think of others as much, so don’t expect folks to be so worried about your “feelings”, as this is a time when we think ahead, and we are not as worried about the past. This can be challenging with the Sun and mental Mercury both in the sign of Cancer through the end of July! The sign of Cancer is all about being sensitive and worrying about other folk’s feelings, so the polar opposite of Aries and Mars, both. So we can feel pushed and pulled or even just reminded that we should care, but at the same time, we may not be feeling it!

If we pay attention and harness this Mars in Aries energy, we can be so productive and get so much done. Just remember people tend to take impulsive actions during this time, so often there are mistakes, mishaps, and accidents. It may take a week or so to get used to this energy, so we need to be a little extra careful, and take some extra precautions to stay safe, as some people are going to get more easily frustrated and aggressive under its influence. If we can take on a strategic kind of attitude, we can plan ahead and get things done in ways we never thought of, we have to be mindful and remember to not react without thinking things through first, which is always the most difficult challenge with Mars in Aries. Under the tense and frustrating energy we have already been dealing with due to COVID and the rioting, we must work extra hard to keep our cool and make sure that things remain calm, otherwise, it could be a bigger mess than we are already in.

Stay Safe & Be Well,

Mercury Retrograde June 2020

· 06/16/2020 · Astrology · , , , , , · 2 Comments

Mercury Retrograde June 2020

For All Zodiac Signs:

Here we go again! Those two dreaded words are once again upon us, as “Mercury Retrograde” starts on June 18th and runs through July 12th!

Mercury Retrograde is usually quite annoying to most people as it causes communication and technology breakdowns, and it can bring delays with travel and shipments. However, this isn’t one of my normal anti-Mercury Retrograde write-ups, as this particular backward cycle of Mercury can likely be somewhat of a good influence as well. I know it’s an interesting turn of events! But rather than just being mischievous the trickster planet, Mercury might bring in some luck for some folks, as it makes a strong connection to the star, Sirius! So even as annoying as Mercury Retrograde can be at least this time around it can bring some success and wealth as well.

This Mercury in Retrograde is in the sign of Cancer, (June 21st-July 22nd) so it does tend to affect those with Cancer astrological placements in their personal “Natal Astrology Charts” a bit more strong, but it runs much deeper than that and affects all of us no matter what Signs we have.

Now there will also be challenges with this Mercury in Retrograde cycle as it’s aspecting the Eclipse on June 21st. The first part of the actual Retrograde cycle starts on the 18th can be bumpy folks, with travel issues that include driving or flying especially. There will be delays and cancellations of all kinds in all situations. And computer and online problems that affect both personal and business can be a really big issue this go around. 

Three Phases of Mercury’s Retrograde cycle:

June 2 to 18 – Pre-Shadow period before Mercury goes Retrograde, as it slows down

During this Shadow phase, you get a sample of what part of your life this particular Mercury Retrograde will affect

June 18 to July 12 – Is the Actual Retrograde Phase

During the actual Retrograde phase, we deal mainly with miscommunications and annoying technical glitches, this time I think we’ll see a whole lot of folks get visited from both friends and lovers from their past, as Cancer’s ruling planet is the Moon and this brings up our past experiences to review and helps us tap into our unconscious mind. 

July 12 to 26 – The after Shadow phase that lasts until Mercury leaves Retrograde.

The after Shadow period is when things get wonky again at first, as we slowly get back to normal, at least we start to feel like we are mentally moving forward again and eventually back to some kind of normalcy. 

There are certain things we should be doing during a Mercury Retrogrades cycle, like starting something over or finishing up projects we’ve already started. Remember Mercury represents the mind and how we perceive information, so when in Retrograde it is a time to go back over things and reassess our lives. We should revise plans and personal goals perhaps, revisit anything that needs to be worked on, reconnect with loved ones, and business contacts, and redo just about anything if it helps, and usually, it does during this time. Refresh your life by doing things over again, and ask lots of questions. Otherwise, Mercury can be one giant headache for ya, especially if you try to push forward with brand-new plans, it just doesn’t usually work out so well. 

One of the best things you can do during any Mercury Retrograde cycle is to write things down, take notes, and do anything you can to remember, taking these simple actions can make this whole Mercury in Retrograde experience so much easier to get through and navigate. These little mistakes and going back and doing things over can lead to it being a time of growth and personal development. 

Mercury in Rx like all Retrograde planets, as is happening for a reason. This isn’t some new Astrological fad! Planets have always gone into Retrograde cycles and will continue to appear to move backward in the future every year. So every once in a while we get a chance to pause or stop and take a break from our overloaded plugged-in lives. This is the time to review your life and the paths you’re on. What this Mercury in Rx cycle does is help us to breathe, be still, relax, and review. The main thing to understand as this cycles energy takes hold is that it’s a time to review your life and redo anything that needs to be done. It is time to re-search, re-think, re-visit, re-connect, and to get re-organized.

Here’s a basic list of Do’s and Don’t that can help you get through this rather confusing time. Make sure to share this Blog with others so they can be enlightened and understand all about Mercury Retrograde time.

What Not To Do during Mercury in Retrograde:

– Don’t start brand new projects

– Do not get into arguments, avoid critical folks, and tense people or situations.

– Do Not Sign Contracts or New Agreements

– Avoid Travel

– Do Not take misunderstandings personally. Our communication is foggy and cloudy.

What To Do during Mercury in Retrograde:

– Redo, Rework, Review, Research, so basically go over things again and wrap up old business and projects.

– Double Check the Facts and any info gathered.

– Re-visit anything that needs fixing or even if you have a question. 

– Re-connect with folks that matter if you’ve had issues or not.

– Backup Computers and data that needs saved, it’s best to do this during the Shadow Phases.

– Re-organize your daily routines.

– Declutter

– Reflect and practice spiritual and energy work.

– Release what’s been holding you back or blocking you, let go of what no longer is working in your life, especially in your intimate relationships.

With Mercury in Retrograde cycles, we just have to be prepared is all, and it’s important to remember during this particular Mercury in Rx phase to do whatever it takes to REMEMBER things. These cycles are not meant to be as aggravating as they seem to be. In a perfect world, if we were to just take some time off from our everyday routines, (like we have been forced to do with COVID going around) it would be a much easier time to navigate. However, if you choose to go against this cycle’s natural flow you will probably get stressed out by something. It is a time to pause and reflect, as this helps us gain new perspectives and maybe realize something we had missed before. This cycle gives us the opportunity to fix things and get them right or the way we want them. Get prepared and try to do something to keep your mind busy during this Mercury in Retrograde cycle, it can help you get through it must more quickly.

Have a safe and easy going Mercury in Retro time folks,

Mental Slowdown – Mercury in Taurus

· 04/27/2020 · Astrology · , , , , , · One Comment

Mercury in Taurus

Mental Slowdown 

Mental Mercury enters the sign of Taurus today, it stays there through May 11th.

This energy tends to slow our minds way down, especially with it also being Taurus Season (the Sun in Taurus.) So things aren’t going to be moving as quickly as they have been, and we can feel somewhat stuck. Especially with the ongoing virus situation.

We tend to be more down to earth, stable, and grounded with Mercury in Taurus, and our common sense is stronger, but our fantasies may be put on hold for the time being. We can come off more deliberate, and sometimes harsh under this influence, but it can be easier to communicate our emotions.

We will stick to what’s worked for us in the past, and who’s been tried and true, as our tribe means everything during this time. And we can be stubborn about using new solutions to solve problems, so trying new things isn’t so easy. Our focus is stronger as we can pay attention to one thing at a time, which can help make life more simple in these complicated times.

Be mindful of being overly strict or conservative. Don’t get too stubborn with your thoughts and opinions, and allow others to share how they are feeling during this cycle. 

Be Well
