Midsummer, Moons, Retrogrades, and Fae!

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

All I can say to begin is....wow....how wonderful and how dangerous things are and will be!

We have had a magnificent Midsummer week with the fae, elementals, and the cosmos....with World Faerie Day and week,   a wonderful quarter waxing moon, major planets going retrograde....with more to come, a glorious grand water trine, and a soon to be powerful and dangerous full moon.  Amazing!

Here are the facts.

-Fae and elementals are migrating by the legions and legions to North America, bringing with them many ancient warriors, knights, animals, Atlanteans, and mystic star people.  They are here to help, heal, protect!

-The cosmos is catapulting at vibrational light speed while Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn, and Venus will all be retrograde by July 25th.  Talk about moving forward while looking back.....

-The moons have been and will be intense for months to come.

-The wonder and majesty of midsummer with the grand water trine is magnificently awakening.  It is a gift from the gods at a time of fear and trepidation.

I would say, even if you are an unbeliev  er, give the elementals a chance?  Do you like trees and gardens?  Do you like oceans and forests?  Do you like rivers and sky?  Well, then, that is all that is necessary.  Open up your mind and heart to know that there are beautiful and magical creatures that exist very, very nearby, that care deeply for earth, nature, and human life.

The retrograde planets give humans a chance to review their journeys.  Also, this gives second chances to change any karmic situations that will effect your future.   We are for sure finally full blown into the new era, since the end of the age of the mayan calendar, and the entre into the 5th dimension.  And let me tell you, that is just the beginning.....

The full moon on July 1st and 2nd will be extremely powerful.  The moon in Capricorn is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn.  This means serious power that can be ruthless if it wants to.  These are opposing the Sun in Cancer conjuncting Mars in Cancer.  Very touchy feely, with possible emotional outbursts, hostility, and hopefully not.....violence.   Capricorn is very masculine, immovable, cold, and Cancer is very feminine, emotional, mixed with Mars, hot and fiery.

 First bit of advice, don't make your momma mad!!  Secondly, and here's the good news, Venus is nicely aspected to Jupiter in Leo in the area of relationships and marriages.  Whew!!  (Wiping sweat off my forehead)  This can make for some hot, steamy, passionate LUUUVVV, or confrontations that you do NOT want to be in the middle of, least of all at the receiving end.  All this depends on your personal moon and transiting astro chart.  Contact me to get help and advice at readings@mysticalmagic.net  Or any astrologer.  At this point, I would say this is absolutely necessary.  It's a deliTcate situation and should be taken seriously.

Thankfully, Neptune is in beautiful aspects, especially with the water trine.  This can be to the glory of the mystics, poets, artists, musicians.....anything involving fantasy and beauty, benevolence and humanitarianism.  Also here is the best part.  Spirituality will  be off the chart.  You should try to have a soul talk with departed loved ones.  They will be there, waiting.  Trust me.  :)  Avoid escapism, addictions, hostility, fear, and depression.  Musn't give them power during this time.

This leaves us with the best advice.  Help others.  Especially the downtrodden, lonely, sick, and abandoned.  Including non-humans.  Light your candles, spread your faerie dust, burn your herbs, gather your crystals, and soak up that moonlight.  I bet you will see a faerie....or two.

May the mystical magic be with you....

New Moon Magic, Tranquility and Turbulence...

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

As the New Moon moves out of void-of-course and into Cancer, there is an interesting dynamic taking place here. Firstly, I see a lot of fire and water blending and rumbling.  Secondly, I see some interesting energy with the air element in Lilith and North Node.  Now, since Venus and Jupiter are playing nice with each other, I see this as a good sign for lovers....maybe.  Don't get too, too comfortable as we have little old Mercury kinda playing tricks on us as it coagulates with Venus and squares off with Neptune and Uranus.  It's like the artful dodger (Mercury), playing smoke and mirrors (Neptune), while trying to act all lovey dovey (Cancer), but secretly enjoying some underhanded secret mission (lilith), that leaves one reeling from the magicians trick of "now you see it, now you don't".  Wo.  It's almost like Mercury thinks it's still retrograde.  Call me crazy but I smell a "player".  Or heck.  You could turn the tables and be the player yourself.  Oooh...how Neptunian and Mercurial would that be?   Hmmm??

Ok, enough of that.  I always sense these underlying things things coming to the surface when I look at the moon charts.  Must be the exalted moon in me.  Now.  Where were we?  Back to Thirdly.  There is a huge awakening, with a sideways glance, with the major planets gone retrograde.  The newest retro is dear old Neptune.  Hence, you have the ebb and flow of confusion, uncomfortableness, maybe fear, with a little drop of nirvana, dreaminess, and existentialism (woo,woo for fancy words)!  It does seem a little confusing now, hmmmm??  In your personal chart many issues will back up and retread some worn ground.  You know the poem by Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken.  "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.....and sorry I could not travel both...."  look it up, great poem for this new moon.  This may very well be your chance to travel both ways, as "way leads on to way."

Well I'm definitely going off on a tangent, but not getting off track, if you know what I mean.  That's what this new moon phase will do to you.  You'll go back and forth.  Feeling good, feeling strange.   Just stay away from the tricksters.

Finally, this moon has very strong energy with ambitious, energetic, foreceful Mars, riding right alongside the moon and the sun.  I would set some very powerful intentions.  Once you get over the shock of the rocking back and forth, that is.  Look to where your moon is in your personal chart and think of things that you want to devote your energy to  for another month.  I see this phase as a very personal mission.  You know what you're up against.  And you know what supports you.  You should actually be very successful.  After all, it's a very good moon.  A very wonderful new moon.  Aren't they all.....

Full Moon in Sag, Cheers to Diana! Dream Big, but carefully....

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!
Full moon in Sagittarius on Tuesday, June 2nd at 12:19 p.m. edt.

I, for one, am super excited about this moon.  I feel lucky, I feel happy, I anticipate great, great things....but I am a Neptunian with a Solar and Uranian rising, and best friends with Jupiter. All of my ruling and acting planets are currently aligned auspiciously.  So.  It's easy for me to be optimistic under the current cosmic climate.

Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sag. It is also the ancient ruler of Pisces, and currently Jupiter is in Leo, a solar lazer beam just waiting for the moment to blaze a path of radiant glory!  Ahhh.....life could not get any better than this.  Sag, Pisces, Leo, Gemini, wait.....what??  Did I say Gemini?  Well, yes I did.  That little trickster who is ruled by Mercury, who is now retrograding at a clipping speed, tripping up and hopping from sunbeam to moonbeam as we speak.  Ah, well.  With the Sun in Gemini and the moon in Sag, we have some opportunities and some challenges.  Sag wants to expand, travel beyond, visit the unknown, and the moon is emotional, earthly, maternal, cranky.  Gemini is mental, aloof, mischievious, scattered, and the sun is bold, dominant, bright.  I believe this can work, but with caution.  Because, you see, well, Uranus is involved here, and anything can happen.


So the moon here has a lot of tension this time.  The sun has a lot of tension.  But both are being friendly with Jupiter, who happens to be a major player.  Uranus is being friendly with both, including Mars. Therefore, we have a grand water trine.  Hence, my optimism.  This can be really, really good.  Just be careful with that Mercury.  And, of course, the moon.    Lest we forget, the moon is FULL!!  Ahem..... There also appears to me to be a grand square, quadruple cross thing going on. Uh.  Doesn't look pleasant.  And Neptune is definitely challenging everyone here.
Neptune seems to want to defy the cosmos, and say, "Be careful what you wish for.....you just may get it."   And here we have the icing on the cake.  My advice is to take all this beautiful Jupiterian energy and mix it up with the artistic, metaphysical, beauty of Neptune, the radiant glory of the sun, the misty, moody, mystery of the moon.


What about love, you say?  We-ell.....Venus says use caution.  Venus is aspecting Saturn, positively. I wouldn't take any chances.  Stick to caution, and remember your karma.  The nodes and chiron are touchy feely right now, so don't let that come into contact with your personal moon.

Focus on the good life!!  But be careful with crazy people. Don't be fooled by the pretenders. Easy on the drinking, the gambling, the wild parties.  Well, ok, not too easy.  Get artistic.  Get spiritual.  Blend the energy of the moon and the sun to get a star.  Get intense.  Get happy.  Dream Big.  But be careful....

Cheers to Diana, the Archer!  The ultimate Jupiterian Sag!!  :)
