FULL MOON in AQUARIUS, JULY 31 2015 – BE THE LIGHT THAT SHINES UPON OTHERS

Hello dear ones. What a whirlwind of activity that has enveloped me and those around me. I was looking for a quiet place to ponder the road ahead and I still am racing with many distractions and I think there is a reprieve coming. Anyway, how has the energy been in your life? Have there been issues to deal with that you prefer to ignore? Has there been any truth arising? Have you stopped to deeply breathe lately? Meditate? It is summer and do you know how many times I have sat in nature? None! And that is where the heart beats to be. I will get there soon. The see-saw has already taken effect before the Full Moon. 

Much has been going on and yet I feel as if I wish to pull myself out of the Matrix and just be. Wouldn’t that be a joy for a day or week or longer? Some of you have done that in many ways and yet the distracting energy keeps popping up to mess with the longed-for peace of mind. Do you really think that those higher ups really have your best interests at heart? Do you feel that just going to work and doing your robotic tasks is why you came to this Earth? It is time for you to be the change. Try to be the light that shines upon others in your life

As I was thinking about what this Full Moon is about I chose 3 cards from my Shustah deck and here is what they say:

1. The Journey (Green) Moving forward on some level of consciousness (some    may be taking a trip).
2. The lord of Contemplation (Green) This is about deep thought and attention to all factors involved before making a decision. Follow the Higher Self not the egp mind.
3. The Harmonizing Page (Blue) Some social activity; gathering with friends and using music to diminish tension. RELAX. Be harmonious.
4. Overall The Fishes- The formation of something new.

So what I see from the cards is this is a time of truly settling down in a peaceful place and going deep within to allow your Higher Self to direct you in doing what will be for your highest good.trip may be there for some of you as a way to get away and relax with friends as you also take time for yourself and do stay in harmony.

The FULL MOON in AQUARIUS (Sun in Leo) arrives at 6:42am EDT, 3;42am PDT and 10:42 GMT on Friday, July 31, 2015 and is at 7 degrees 55’. This isn’t the best Full Moon for finding the common ground in discussions. Oh yes, the Sun in Leo wants to be out there dancing and playing and just being on stage yet that Aquarian Moon is saying hey let’s talk about new visions, It is a time for harmonization so that connections can be maintained. How many of you out there are working through something at this time? This Full Moon is asking you to stay centered and connected to the Earth so your discernment in any choices you make whether long or short term will come from your heart. That indicates to me that you need to stay out of the place of fear and in a love place. Only then will the choice bring you exactly what you need to move forward. Also, it may take a bit more effort to find consensus with this Full Moon. It is also time for the Leos and Aquarians out there to reassess what is going on in their lives. And the rest of the signs with planets in Leo or Aquarius will be affected more intensely. 

As I have often posted here at Cosmic Leaping too many of you are still in the fear place. And that creates chaos in any kind of relationship and deters you from seeing the truth in all interactions. So, come with love, no matter what happens. That does not give anyone the go ahead to blame or find fault. That is not what brings harmony. And if I remember correctly- separation by ego is not what the Divine deems. Stephanie Austin mentioned a quote: What is worth living for and what is worth dying for? Only love is. (says Johnny Depp)

 The Aquarian Full Moon is semisextile to Neptune in Pisces. Not bad, just oh well. Best thing to do with this is find some inspirational music or in that kind of environment. It will keep you centered and will help you find what is the highest priority in your life. This is about your life not anyone else’s. You may learn something from an important situation that you have misappraised recently since Neptune is inconjunct the Sun in Leo. Have you assumed something?

And then old stuffy Saturn goes stationary direct at 28 degrees Scorpio on August 1. Saturn, who really is not difficult, just likes you to be more responsible for your actions. It wants you to endure. That is a reminder to early Sagittarius, late degrees of Taurus and Leo and any of you with planets in those signs around 28 degrees. Saturn says remember that you need to set boundaries and be realistic. If you have endured you will be now rewarded as it moves forward. Pluto is still retrograde in Capricorn and all you mid-Cancer Suns are probably pulling your hair out at this time. Also Libra and Aries planets are jumping out of your skin. Just not yourself these days, are you? Uranus is sitting in Aries around 20 degrees. Oh wow, right on my Venus/Mars midpoint. Guess what? Can I scream now? Or shall I just throw the paint on the canvas or become a whirling dervish to get out all that crazy energy. Whew!

Thank goodness Mercury is not retrograde or I will be running for the hills. Oh, yes, dear Venus is retrograde in Virgo on the Full Moon and joins our old expansive lucky Jupiter in Leo at 29 degrees on August 4. How perfect. Do you see any new possibilities in front of you?

 Aries/Aries rising- What have you been putting off that is good for you? Step into a new world.

Taurus/Taurus rising-Go deep within and find what you love and that is your new foundation.

Gemini/Gemini rising-A change of scene helps to get you out of the rut which will help you instigate changes within.

Cancer/Cancer rising-Ask yourself this: what positive steps can you take to change things for the better?

Leo/Leo rising-How can you express more of you unique self in a playful way? How do you bring out the real you?

Virgo/Virgo rising-Hand your issues over to a Higher Power and relax and enjoy life for a change.

Libra/Libra rising-It is about fun with this full moon. Oh joy you can revel in delight in the social world but too much is not good. Go within and things will fall into place.

Scorpio/Scorpio rising-Where do you want to be? If not sure, then this is time to allow the inner voice to come out and listen to what the possibilities may be.

Sagittarius/Sagittarius rising- If you think you can then you can. If you think you cannot. Then guess what? You cannot. Positive thoughts only! Kick those negatives to the curb.

Capricorn/Capricorn rising-Is there room for improvement financially? Look for imbalances in sexual or money areas.

Aquarius/Aquarius rising-Differences arise between you and another. Bridge the gap for unity and trust. Even if you feel vulnerable- reach out.

Pisces/Pisces rising-What needs to change so you can move forward? Let others be who they are and soon things change on their own and right themselves.

Create that new vision so that you can take a leap. Stop by on the SpritualBistro.com and see what I doing over there. Not everything is up but I will have services available. Thank you for reading and your support. Comments are always welcome. Be blessed. Until again. Love, Jan

Planets and You for last days of July 2015- Have you released those old patterns yet?

There are several important trends going on at this time which will be a factor down the road. Saturn is going direct in Scorpio on August 1, 2015. Presently, it is still in retrograde motion which says it is the best time NOW to release all old patterns and issues that keep you from your truth. It has been retrograde for almost 5 months going back to March when it was in Sagittarius. If anything is still holding you locked in the past, this is a time to let go. Just a reminder- past to me is about childhood and also about anything that has occurred in your life which was not precipitated by your own belief. Most beliefs you have were picked up during various phases of your lifetime and now it is the time to say enough of that already. Digging deep in the next 10 days will help you move forward. In whatever house Saturn appears in your chart will tell you what part of your life is affected most. This is important due to the current conditions that are shifting in your life.

Venus goes retrograde on July 25 at 1 degree Virgo. This (as previously stated in my last post) says that you need to take a look at any issues with finances and/or love. And it also says to you that it is time to finish any old creative projects. Love’s voice calls and says to you heal what needs to be healed so that in September when it goes direct in Leo that by the time it hits the 1 degree mark again in October (more on this later) you will feel lighter and more joyful or it may become an illusion. Venus conjoins Jupiter which is truly beautiful on August 4. It may bring about a new beginning. Pay attention for it is right before your eyes. If any of you have had meltdowns in love it is time to regroup and heal. Those old beliefs may have popped up from Saturn. Yep. You know that’s true.

There are a couple of days that are beneficial at the end of July. One is on July 28 at 9:30am EDT for general benevolent actions and on July 31, 2015 at 7:30pm EDT for starting off on a trip or general travel influences.

A friend of mine who is also an astrologer said that notice how the planets are in a trapped configuration and today they are out of it. Then every 14 days until the autumn leaves descend it continues to occur in and out of trapped conditions. Example on world scale – IMF is wrestling with the Greeks. Oh sure, watch out IMF among other events. Thanks Anita Sands.

The Full Moon in Aquarius comes around on July 31, 2015. See you then. Love, Jan

NEW MOON in CANCER, July 15/16 2015 – Positive changes occur with compassionate approach

How many of you are stuck in the illusion and continue to resist change? Well, change is on the brink for most of you out there. And as you get anxious and go back into that old pattern of being fearful, how about instead you look at change as positive? Change in the world today is being accepting of the present. The past has been dead for years yet for some of you it envelops you until you see only the minutiae of life. This is coming to the forefront in relationships, home life, business interactions and in whatever else you are involved. It looks like those Pisces individuals are pretty safe this time around to escape the rough and ready effect.

Before I take a look at what the New Moon is telling us this month let’s scour the news and see where it is going. Pluto probe is ready to land today. DARPA (a government agency) at their conference were now discussing how they are undertaking experiments to control fear and anxiety in soldiers. They are using a kind of technology to do this. Whoa! Then there was a red alert from HAARP regarding areas of the US and Japan and there were two earthquakes off of Honshu area today. Was that a HAARP effect? If you are big on social media then US Senate votes on July 15 re: requiring social media to report any suspicious activity to the Feds. Watch what you say dear ones, it’s getting more controlling. And speaking of which, that control goes full frontal with the New Moon’s energy.

The NEW MOON in CANCER (Sun in Cancer also) arrives on July 15, 2015 at 9:24 pm EDT; 6:24 pm PDT; and 1:24 am GMT (July 16, 2015) at 23 degrees 14’. This is about home life, personal life and also facing the changes that come about due to the energy of this lunation. How will you respond to various unexpected influences that pop up in your realm? It is time to look at all those old past patterns that keep any stagnation in your life in place. Do you really choose to exist in a time and place that no longer serves your Divine purpose? Will you choose to break through those habits and once and for all decide where you choose to be and walk through that door so that your soul can thrive? Where does your soul wish to be rooted?

Uranus is square (conflict) this NEW MOON in Cancer. How will this affect your interactions with others? Do you intend to respond to anyone who unnerves you with anger or irritation? Or can you reach within and go with the flow and just be in the moment and take nothing personal. If something arises that does a number on you emotionally how will you resolve it? Will you do so or will you be resistant to the energy that is saying forgiveness may be needed at this time. As this crazy-making may occur it will take a certain amount of courage and being in the now to break through the barriers which prevent you from walking through it. It is time to do this once and for all, so that when times get more volatile as the months progress, you will at least have that supportive factor to diffuse any unforeseen happenings. The main thing right now to remember is how you will respond to any adversity or emotional outburst will be the only thing you can control in the coming months. Impatience and criticism does not work.

Mars is in Cancer also is a quite wide conjunct to the NEW MOON. It is opposed Pluto in Capricorn at this time also. You men out there may be feeling trapped at some point. And this configuration brings out a time that old wounds, hurts, and power struggles can be brought from the depths and finally resolved and healed. For those who need to do this, it is a wise move to do so at the time of the New Moon energy. Just as weeds grow around plants and you pull them out, these issues will continue to resurface until you dig deep for the root cause and pull it out. Mercury in Cancer is afflicted by Saturn, Mars and Pluto just as Venus was recently. Watch your words now. Manifestation will take place for most of you instantly. Saturn in Scorpio conflicts Venus in 29 degrees Leo on July 18. Patch those relationships that are impaired now. If nothing else, look at the why it is off-track and decide how to resolve the issue even if you cannot address it immediately.

On a more positive note Venus and Jupiter are still together in Leo but Venus goes retrograde on July 26 until September 5.which tells you that you will want to look at anything that prevents you from healing wounds in relationships. Someone you love may resurface and it is time to forgive if the wounds still linger. It will be very favorable if that is done. Since Venus retrograde speaks of having compassion in the situation that has arisen, keep that in mind so that healing can take place. Saturn, Pluto and Neptune are also retrograde. It is truly time to reevaluate and let go. Remove the stuck beliefs that hinder the destiny that is yours. It is your destiny and has nothing to do with anyone else in your life. Life will change shortly.

Here are some tidbits for your sun signs and rising signs. (You should read both.)

Aries- Let go of the stress already. It is time for more harmony in your life. Look for a new start. Stop the tension already.

Taurus- Get rid of old perceptions. Follow your own ideas and tap your inner riches and stop listening to everyone else. You know what you need, they do not.

Gemini- Don’t let a financial situation keep you stuck. You will know what to do. It is time to take a leap. You will know when to do this.

Cancer –Let go of the past baggage and go in that new direction. Stop controlling.

Leo- Past memories surface when an outburst occurs. Clear them out. Stop suppressing your emotions. You have to let go to move forward.

Virgo- Watch for emotional drama at this new moon. It is time to connect with new friends and make new contacts. Act with optimism

Libra- It is time to do what you truly want to do. Be open to new possibilities. What’s keeping you back? It looks like home and family. Break patterns and new path arises.

Scorpio- Reach beyond your comfort zone. Get out of your self-made prison and clear out the past fully. Pay attention to home life and finances.

Sagittarius – Get of your self-made prison and do a cleansing of the past completely. You rise up from the ashes through the new moon energy. Pay attention to finances and relationships.

Capricorn – A time for clear and honest communication. Make decisions with a loving heart. Relationships/finances move forward if you stay in this mode. Fears no longer control you.

Aquarius- Anything can happen. Major change is in order. This needs to happen in work or health. Whatever needs improvement can now be addressed. New possibilities come out.

Pisces –.What keeps you back? You think you lack resources to do what you choose. Success is yours. Be authentic and know that it is time to do what you really love to do. A leap is yours.

Have a blessed New Moon time. Stay in the moment. Clear out old beliefs so new directions can emerge. Share if you choose. Thank you for reading. Until again. Love, Jan
