Happy Full Moon in Leo, Mr. Big Stuff!!

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

There is a full moon on Saturday, January 23rd, 8:46 p.m., edt., in "larger-than-life" Leo the Lion!

This Lion will definitely be wanting to "strut his stuff", against the odds of frustration, along with his buddy Jupiter, who is teaming up with Pluto and Mercury, ironically.

 Leos are loving, warm, fun, generous, kind, something that a full moon should love.  But Leo is not very comfortable with being in the moon right now, despite all the efforts of the big guys in the sky.  The Sun is in Aquarius, who is saying, "Dude.  Chill."  Not gonna happen.  Poor old Leo. You gotta have a little sympathy. If you know anyone with strong Leo in their chart, or a very prideful, fun-loving, "royal type of persona", (and heaven knows we do know a lot of them), we can be sure their pride, arrogance, and comfort level is being called to the stage. That's too bad, because they really are the nice guys of the zodiac.

But there is hope....more on that later.  About the romance part, well, thankfully, the girls (and guys), should be getting real, and not taking any more crap, right?  With Venus going newly into Capricorn, Jupiter and Pluto thinking they are "all that", it's time to "lay it on the line", peeps.  Venus in Capricorn says, "I deserve the best in everything.  If you don't step up and prove yourself, you can hit the road, because frankly, right now, it's my way or the highway.  Yeah.  So, Mr. Big Stuff.  Who do you think you are?"  And who says it better than Jean Knight in her infamous performance of Mr. Big Stuff!  (Notice the Jupiter/Pluto hairdo, that says it all.  See below for a 21st century version.)

Here is a run-down of what I think you need to know.

-The Full Moon in Leo says, "Let's have fun and party.  Now.  Darn it!"  While this is a challenge right now, it can happen, with Neptune's help.  Do something artistic and creative, and you will get your wish.  

-Jupiter, who is hitchiking with the north node, is getting support from Pluto and Mercury Retrograde.  Go ahead and give your gusto a try.  It could happen.  Watch out for Mercury the trickster, though.  Just have fun where you can, but don't put too much faith into it.  Ok, Mr. Big Stuff?

-Venus in Capricorn says the ladies, (and the guys), should hold their heads high. Don't put up with crap from Mr. Big Stuff.  You deserve the best, right?

-Thankfully, thankfully, Neptune gives us all an outlet this time.  The Moon and Neptune will give us a secret opportunity to find something creative, artistic, and spiritual. You may have to dig to find it, but it's there.  Take advantage of it. This is one of the positive aspects here with this full moon.  Go to a play, a concert, a movie, a social event of artistic merit!  That is where you will find your satisfaction.  Dance, sing, and make merry!  Wear diamonds, shine like a star, hold your head high...

-But remember. Saturn is still challenging those dreamy goals.  Keep them earthbound, and use common sense.  Those new moon wishes from 2 weeks ago are showing their progress.  I see that as a positive aspect of this moon.

-Also, remember.  Full moons always have challenges.  Relationships will always be affected.  Sometimes fears and anger can enter into the mix.  This is a good time to release all that.  Challenging.  But good.

-Release your fears and anything you want to be gone.

-Put out your stones, crystals, oils, candles, and special things to be charged under the light of the moon.  

-Spend time under the moon light with your magic wands!  Create your own personal incantation to draw in the magic of the moon.

-Start a bonfire, or a campfire.  Perfect for a Leo, fire sign, moon.

-This is a wolf moon and a Leo moon. Give extra care to the animals, especially the wild ones.  Honor the animals, the animal spirits, and the animal guides.  If possible, visit a wildlife sanctuary in the next week.  Donate to an animal charity.  "Get the animals off the plate, and back into the pasture,"  from the word of Kris Carr.

Here is a 20th century version of Jean Knight's Mr. Big Stuff.  Notice the toned down Pluto, but the integrity and confidence remain.  Crank it up girlfriends!!

Have a great full moon, Mr. Big Stuff!!

Happy New Moon, New Year. Destiny calls!

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

There is a new moon in Capricorn on Saturday, January 9th, at 8:31 p.m., edt.

This is the first new moon of 2016.
There is a stellium and an intense focus on Capricorn energy.
Mercury has gone retrograde for a bit.
Jupiter is prepping to go retrograde.
The North Node has left Pisces for Virgo.
Majority of planets are in earth signs.
Neptune remains  in a square off to Saturn.
Mars, the masculine warrior,  is pushing for the aggressive limit of bravado.
There is a massive focus on Pluto aspecting this Capricorn and moon energy.
The chain link between Mercury, Moon, Sun, and Pluto creates insane pressure.
Capricorn demands it with honor, integrity, propriety.

The good news is Jupiter and the lunar north node is pushing, expanding, insisting on perseverance, to succeed and reach the goal, the mountaintop.  You can do it....

It is personal.  It is social.  It is global.  It is universal.

The pressure is intense and it will be felt.
All signs point to career, status, destiny.

Yes. Destiny.

There is only one way to express this energy.  Whitney Houston is the vessel to explain what this all means.  With 5 planets, including Jupiter, in a magnificent and potent aspect to the midheaven at birth, she is the destined human to give us the message...

Click it.  Hear it.  Sing it.  Do it.

I see this as an incredible gateway to a portal of opportunity.

 We have all learned our intense spiritual lessons over the last so many years.  We have been nudged by all this practical earthy energy for some time, despite those pesky eclipse aspects in the not so distant past.  Neptune in Pisces has taught us the beauty of spirit, the gifts of our soul, the possibility of peace.  It is now challenging us to bring it to a higher level, and not just throwing one big party of love and peace.  Pluto and Uranus taught us to purge that dark shadowy energy for some clean fresh renewal of the dark soul.  We have learned to  "watch out", what goes around comes around....or so, we should have.

Now.  Now it's the time to not only work it on the practical, earthbound plane, but also to expand it (Jupiter), to shout it (Mars), in a flash of glory (Uranus), from the mountain top (Capricorn), for the benefit of goodness, peace, brotherhood (Neptune), and yes, personal glory, and fame (Venus, Sun, Moon), and NOT without the stern, grueling lessons of the cosmic professor (Saturn).

The time is now.  It's a new year.  It's a new era.  It's a new you!

And it is a new moon. Plan your new year's resolutions, intentions, goals, dreams, with ambition, self discipline, and determination.  This is the message of Capricorn.  Do not be distracted by the seemingly insurmountable obstacles.  Look at the message of the Olympians....


On a personal level, on an earthly relationship level, there is a bit of advice.  Do not, I repeat, do not, allow long term solid (Saturn) relationships to be wowed, swayed, tempted by the illusive, flashy, sensational (Venus, Neptune, Uranus) energy of deceipt and trickery (Mercury Retrograde)!!  This goes for business relationships, as well!

For health, physical, and wellness concerns, look to Jupiter and Mars to restore you to vitality.  This is the year of taking care of yourself, your physical, earthly body.  Eat well, exercise.  Walk the earth barefoot. Often. Lean against a tree for an hour.  Soak up the sun, swim in the oceans and lakes.

Take this new moon seriously.  Set serious, but lofty, goals and intentions.  This will be for the moon phase, the new year, your new life.  The moon will go void on January 10th, at 12:39 p.m., edt.  Set these magnificent intentions immediately after the new moon is exact on Saturday, January 9th, at 8:31 p.m., and keep going strong until the next day at 12:39 p.m., edt.

For your new moon altar and visualizations, use images, symbols, and trinkets of very solid earthly representations.  Light your candles, sprinkle your dust,  spread your oil, create a grid of crystals, meditate on destiny, plant a new jade, a cactus, or a bamboo, and experience a transformation of  your inner being.

Play the song again.  Internalize the  meaning.  Take the challenge.

Visit my website at www.mysticalmagic.net, or send me an email at readings@mysticalmagic.net, to check out your personal chart. You really should know beyond a shadow of a doubt where your life can transform at this time.  Do something positive for the environment, take care of wildlife, care for the animals.  Remember the sick, the elderly, the abused, the forgotten....

Meditate on your cosmic destiny...

May the new moon be with you.
