NEW MOON in Sagittarius, December 17/18, 2017- Bring on a burst of optimism and spontaneity

“Trust yourself and you will know how to live” ~ Goethe Where or where has the holiday cheer gone, there seems to be a block so deep, as I look around my realm, I notice how most continue to sleep. Running here and running there without any joy or peace wake up to the reality of what goes on or do you choose to go on as sheep? Do you find that social media is more important than enjoying the season? I know life has changed considerably in the past decade but in my observation nothing has changed. How many of you can stay off your phone for more than 30 minutes? Ok, that is a long time…how about 15 minutes? I am appalled that young children would rather play on the phone with a game than spend any time interacting with other children. Soon, there will be nothing but human robots and then maybe no humans, just robots. And you buy into this? It is time to wake up.

Other things-US Army representatives are saying that some airspace over Syria belongs to the US. How can that be when Syria is a UN member and sovereign state and no individual space allotted?  In the last year there is so much advertising on TV regarding drugs it makes my head spin. Most every channel has it and since I do not watch TV before later evening I am sure it is even worse during the day. Pharmaceutical companies spent $3.2 billion on ads for TV in one year. Are you serious? I saw that Robert Kennedy Jr. wanted to talk about his film Trace Amounts on a show and he called Fox News and he was told no by someone he knew. It is about mercury in vaccines and the networks get too much money from the Pharm companies.  Nothing new as to who controls much of the world. Jim Stone said the election in Alabama was a complete farce since there is no proof of vote count. Oh, as long as it is going the way of the anti-whoever people it is good for them. Remember the gulag can come to America.

What is a New Moon? It is a burst of new energy which lasts until the next new moon. The best time for making a fresh start and for beginning new projects is during the first two weeks of this new moon cycle. This waxing phase of the Moon lasts from December 18 to the January 1 2018 Full Moon in Capricorn.

New Moon in Sagittarius arrives in 26 degrees 31’ at 1:30am EST and 6:30am GMT on December 18, 2107; 10:30pm PST on December 17, 2017. The Sun is in the exact degree as the Moon. This is a time of finding your way through a twisting road where you cannot see that well. And on top of that it is a time of also letting your past behind which I have spoken about for several years. I still find many stuck there. This New Moon in Sagittarius is  asking you to figure out what is still holding you back and walk through that darkness already. Let the beam of light on your helmet help you forge ahead to a new year and a new start. Are you willing to do this? This New Moon is conjunct (0 degrees) the Galactic Center vortex (hole) in the center of the universe. There is a plethora of golden influences at the Center but to get there you will need to protect yourself with Light surrounding you. If you allow the golden influences of the Divine or Creator or whatever you choose to name it, then the Galactic Center can bring you messages and deeper insights if you open to it. If you have a planet near this point in your chart then you may find yourself knowing things and not knowing how you do know them. Sound familiar? This New Moon has a bit lighter energy than the previous serious beyond it all Scorpio one, Go out and find some play time and enjoy whatever holiday you celebrate. Bring on the joy and love. Be optimistic and spontaneous.

The New Moon in Sagittarius is also conjunct (5 degrees) Venus which is at 21degrees 14’. It is time for adventure, travel and being out there doing things you love to do. Venus in Sagittarius is now out of the rut of Scorpio where secretiveness rules and you really may not have gotten a straight answer from anyone, including your partner. Upbeat Venus now in Sagittarius brings you much more freedom to do things that are more exciting. Wild and crazy may be your mantra. Trekking through the mountains in the snow or booking a cruise may be just what you choose to do. Or even tapping into the spiritual mode is one of the influences. Sensual pleasures and desires are important at this time and may give you more insights into your spiritual goals since Sagittarius does rule spirituality and your visions. It also rules foreigners.

The Sagittarian New Moon also sits with Saturn in Sagittarius in 29 degrees and this makes the Sun, Moon, Saturn and Venus part of a stellium So since they are in Sagittarius then the focus is truly on those things that Sagittarius rules which I stated previously. Saturn in the last degree indicates a powerful time to finish up anything that has been sitting around waiting for closure or completion. This is one more chance to follow-through. It is trine (120 degrees) Uranus in Aries at 24 degrees. Take time to be more flexible in your actions. It may be a good time to make a commitment in a relationship. Or if just starting a relationship could end up as a long-term serious connection. It is a perfect combination of both steady and exciting energy. Chiron in Pisces is square (120 degrees) the New Moon and Saturn and Venus. What do you need to change to bring healing to yourself at this time? It is important that you look within to discover this. Are there past events that still bug you? What is hanging on that is keeping you stuck in the past? I know you are tired of me saying this, Now is the perfect time to just find that issue and clear it out so you can heal. You do not need it in the New Year. Watch that your emotions do not get out of control. No matter what goes on, it is time to open your heart to more love and acceptance as the intensity swirls around you. Saturn moves into Capricorn on December 19, 2107. I will delve into this in the next post.

The period when Mercury in Sagittarius is retrograde is truly less than usual this time – only 19 days. Usually it can be up to 25 days. It goes stationary direct (moves forward again) on December 22. YIPPEE!!! I don’t how you are doing with the Mercury retrograde energy these past weeks but I have had enough. Move on Trickster!

May I suggest that Frankincense is the ideal oil to use with this New Moon. It is good for balance and it helps you go within and see your truth and how you relate. This is also good for supporting the immune system. A couple other oils that are worth using at this time are: geranium and sandalwood.

Thank you dear ones for reading my post and sharing it. Celebrate this season of Light with joy and peace. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and a Happy Holiday season to everyone else! Stay in the moment and see how beautiful life can be. Look for post on Full Moon at end of year! Many blessings! Until again. Love, Jan

FULL Super MOON in Gemini, December 3, 2017- Will deception overtake the dream?

Hey dear ones, kiddies and the like. Just had a mind-boggling dream and the Master on the path shined some light on it! Said I got over a major obstacle in the mind. Wow. It is about time. And what is going on with all of you as a most intense Full Moon is ready to appear in your life? It seems like many of you lately are on the edge and that is basically part of this Full Moon influence. That doesn’t mean for you to jump off the cliff. Could it be that you are in a dream and not in reality? Be sure you are not caught in the mass hive mind. Get off your phones, your laptops, your tablets and take a breath already. Just trust and try it. Since Full Moons are about release what are you going to let go this time round? This is six month point since the May 25 New Moon in Gemini. Are you doing the project that you started back then or are you shifting something within?

Just because the holiday season is here does not mean that your life has to get crazed. Who cares what the media says. Do they know you? Do they care? No!!! Do you know the connection of Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s fiancée, to the British royalty? I suggest you look it up. It is quite interesting to say the least since she is a true British royal! Will they really get married? Some sinister influences are going on behind the scenes! If you do not know history maybe it is time you start to investigate. On another note- So will the Congress ever come up with a tax plan that is suitable for other than the minority at the top? That is probably not going to happen. I do not hear any screaming, rebelling or protests about this. Oh, it is only about your money. Ho hum, back to your phone. Oh, by the way, you need to understand a Gemini type to understand what is happening in the White House. Oh, just curious…why did I not feel the earthquake since I was traveling not too far from the area it occurred? Any earthquake tremors do last more than a moment. Some said it sounded like a boom. Really?

The Full Moon in Gemini arrives on Sunday, December 3, 2017 at 10:46am EST; 7:46am PST; and 3:46pm GMT in 11degrees 40’. The Sun is in Sagittarius at the same degree. The energy is building and many of you will be caught in the chaotic holiday mix. Therefore you may wish to take a breather and see if you are living in reality or a big illusion. Where is your mind today? How about your communication? Are you ready to shift your thinking or perhaps even to trust what you do not see. That is a pertinent part of the Full Moon in Gemini since it is square Neptune in Pisces which forms a T-square to the Sun in Sagittarius. Tune into your feelings more than your mind at this time due to the slippery illusions that appear. With these illusions not everything will be what it appears to be. This is the kind of Full Moon to delve into astrology or the dream world. You can certainly learn much from them. Your dreams may come to you in a more vivid fashion so do pay attention to them.  Jupiter in Scorpio is trine to Neptune in Pisces at the Full Moon. These are also at 11degrees. This is a big help for your intuition and getting the answers that you need.

Have you found that something strange has occurred in your life? Is there now a door that has opened that you thought was shut? Found that happening in my life with Saturn in Sagittarius conjunct Mercury trine Uranus in Aries. Interesting things are going on depending where it falls in your chart. And do remember that Saturn heads into Capricorn on December 19, 2017 right before the Winter Solstice. I will take a look at this in the next couple of weeks to see exactly what it means and how it will affect you in the next couple of years.

Venus just went into Sagittarius December 1st. Since the last few weeks it has been Scorpio led to some kind of rebirth from the depths of your being? Has it not felt this way? Relationships may have gone through a purging and with Venus changing signs it tells you that more spontaneity may show up as it goes into Sagittarius. There is a totally different feel here and excitement again comes to the forefront.

Guess what dear ones? Mercury is going retrograde on the same day as the Full Moon. Uh oh! I have found through the years that when Mercury seems to go backwards then whatever I buy during this holiday season I may like less or not even wear it after the season. It seems to be just a strange phenomenon in my life! Electronics may go off track or you may have delays in traveling. It is at 29degrees Sagittarius when it goes in retrograde motion on December 3 at 29degrees 18’ and is back to 13degrees Sagittarius on December 22, 2017. Looks like I will be doing a mad dash right before my Christmas celebration. Hang on!! If you are looking to uncover anything in the next few weeks, then it is time to discover any truth which has not been forthcoming. This is due to the fact that Mercury is right with Saturn in Sagittarius leading to deeper thinking and research. One thing about this is no dwelling on any negatives at all because it may be easier to do this. Watch teasing, angry words or outright arguments at this time!  Mercury is sextile Uranus which opens up the door to new friendships and other discoveries. As Mercury in Sagittarius moves through the last degrees in early January it goes through the Galactic Center which says to you to release old limiting stories and patterns that you have been carrying along through your life.

Illusions and distractions will disappear with this Full Moon in Gemini if you clear and quiet your mind so that new visions can appear. Since Mercury is Retrograde you may wish to take a break from any hectic pace that arises. Spreading yourself too thin may be a problem for some of you wishing to please everyone. Many of you will be torn between family stuff and passions regarding your career and other interests. Some will be totally on a road to just seeking pleasure.

Pay attention the next couple of weeks for a kindred spirit or possible twin to appear in your midst since Gemini is the sign of the Twins. Are there declarations in the limelight or even confessions? Communicate with vigor but do be careful of taking things personal and getting into a big fight. If you are in business you may want to revamp some things to get the message out in a clear way. If you are looking to get a project off the ground then now is the time to collaborate even though retrograde Mercury is present for a few weeks. Get it going anyway.

Those affected most intensely will be Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces (Sun signs/rising signs in 6 – 14 degrees. Also birthdays affected: May 26-June 3; August 28-September 4; November 29-December 6 and February 25- March 4. If you have planets at these degrees, than it may have an affect also.

Thank you for reading and sharing. I am most grateful for those who follow Cosmic Leaping. There is so much shifting energy at this time. Stay present and pay attention since this can be a confusing time. Watch your words and know that some deception may be present. Otherwise it is a time of intuitive moments. Have a great Full Moon and look for my Saturn in Capricorn post. New Moon is on December 18. Until again. Love, Jan
