We have a luscious Full Moon in Scorpio on Wednesday, May 10th, 5:41 p.m., edt.
Oo la la.... The Scorpio moon is all about depth, intensity, drama, stealth, secrets, and massive amounts of sensuality. It is also all about emotion, spirituality, death, and extreme metaphysicality. Don't let that detract you from the carnal sensuality because if any sign knows how to bring the spiritual into the carnal....it's definitely Scorpio. And this is a full moon, people. So you have a lot of intense emotions with hard to control impulsivity. Lest we forget, Scorpio is a water sign, and the Moon of course rules the water.
The Moon makes a magnificent aspect to Neptune and Pluto. Oh the watery magic of it all!! Neptune is the magician, Pluto can control the dials on the magic wand, and the Moon will cause it all to ebb and flow. Now is the time to connect with the spiritual realm. Weave your magic. Follow your muse. Invite your angels. Dance with the faeries. Connect with your spirit animals. Commune with your spirit guides.
Jupiter and Mars will help to propel the magic upward and onward. The quick witted Mars in Gemini with the expansive Jupiter in Lovers' Libra can lift your love life heavenward to soar with the stars. Just watch out for Pluto and Uranus. They may just strike and erupt if they disapprove of a situation. There's no telling here, really! You are dealing with the Moon and Scorpio. The tsunami of revenge and/or karma can hit you like a massive wave of crushing punishment. YIKES!! So tread lightly, y'all. However, it can be an amazing trip through realms of unknown bliss, y'know.

Venus can be controlled, but be cautious and evasive. The slightest edge can activate razor sharp results. That's not only for lovers, but for relationships with women, cash flow, daily life, and indulging. Consult your angels and feminine guides for comfort and security. This can be a positive moon if you can control your impulses. If you can....
-For physical healing, under the moonlight, try swimming, or water therapy.
-Activate your outdoor fountains or birdbaths. You can also just put out containers of water with petals of flowers and sea salt.
-If you're lucky enough, go to the ocean, lake, or a pond.
-A visit to the spa for water healing would be perfect!
-Light your candles, say your prayers, leave out your crystals and special trinkets under the moonlight.
-Give thanks for your many, many blessings.
-Pray for healing for physical ailments, diseases, and/or addictions. With Pisces and Scorpio activated, all kinds of addictions come up from the surface.
-Pray for others.
-Take care of the helpless animals, abandoned, sick, elderly, and needy.
Enjoy this exquisite Full Moon of beauty and light...
There is a New Moon in Taurus on Wednesday, April 26th, exact at 8:15 a.m., eastern time! The Moon makes no major aspects to trip us up at this time (for now), so let's use this to our advantage. Taurus is earthy and luxurious, and, well, because I'm someone who wishes on the Moon and stars (I'm a Pisces Sun with a Cancer Moon), I try to be soooo encouraging in the wishing department. But. I'm also very wise, old, and realistic, having been schooled at the "School of Hard Knocks"! With that pesky Saturn and Venus square, you need to be super careful with the Venus things in life. Also, with Chiron involved, there are a lot of tender, delicate feelings floating around out there, some real and some imagined.
Venus is Taurus' planet, with all the right trimmings, not just love and romance, although that's a biggie right now, but money, luxury, business, beauty, fashion, femininity, bling, creativity, etc. You get the picture...Enjoy your life as it is, as you wish it to be, as you set your intentions, dreams, and goals, by the energy of this moon. The watery Moon will enrich the earth of your dreams, while Old Man Saturn will watch over them with a guardian's stance (as long as you bring your dreams down to earth, into reality). If it's possible, it can happen. With Pisces active now that Venus is direct again, be careful of "wishful thinking". There are so many big planets retrograde it seems that time is standing still. That's a good thing. The Taurus Moon and Sun will want to linger. Take it slow. Make it last.
You can set your intentions right away, while the setting is ripe, until April 27th, Thursday, when the moon goes void-of-course. Make a list, put it in your journal, speak it out, put it out there.....New Moons are new beginnings. Taurus is manifesting. Plant your seeds and watch them grow. As a matter of fact, go out in the morning, and tend to your gardens. Plant a New Moon flower or tree! Do something earthy, or indulgent. Count your cash, inventory your clothes, take a visit to the cosmetic counter, visit the spa, cook a great meal, and love the one your with. These are the best things to do with this New Moon in Taurus!!
For all the ladies out there, guess what, it's time to get your diva on!! Crank up the song and get it out there! In their faces, girls! BTW, this video is not for the fainthearted or blushing babe. You will see the perfect symbolism of a stubborn, strong, and single-minded Taurus female. Yeah!!
On a softer note, let's all appreciate the earth and the season. Care for the plantlife. Care for the animals. Do something for the environment. Create a memorial garden for a deceased loved one. Design your faerie village under a tree. They're already camping out, you know. Write a song and sing it under the stars. Feng Shui your yard with windchimes, fountains, angels, and whirligigs. Be inspired. Be inspiring.
Help others achieve their goals and dreams, as well, especially the old, the sick, the abandoned, the lonely, the children, and the animals. Above all, be grateful for your blessings. It's still a beautiful world.

We have a Full Moon in Libra, on April 11th, at 2:08 a.m., edt. Ahhh, the full moon, the beautiful moon, so full of mystery and aura, love and magic, and deep awakenings...
This is the season of retrogrades. Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and soon-to-be Pluto,
are causing us to revisit, reactivate, renew, replenish, and re-examine. This has been an especially chaotic retrograde for Venus, and a slightly laborious one for Jupiter. The fast moving planets, such as Venus and Mercury, will go direct soon, only to leave the major players to carry on the process. The lingering process.
Full Moons are always about relationships, the intensity of and the mystery of. THIS full moon is particularly bitter-sweet with Venus in retrograde, for just a few more days! The time has come full circle, from many moons ago, to scrutinize the state of our love relationships and that with ourselves. With Saturn in aspect to Venus for so long, our desires for beauty, love, and pleasure are being tested and examined.
Don't be surprised if you happen to re-consider re-uniting with a former lover, soon to be former lover, present lover but needing to re-vamp your love, a love from a past life, a love from a future past life or a lover you have dreamed of for many years. I know, right? Call me crazy, but you know the name of my blog is "mystical" magic musings. I am really feeling the re-uniting of many, many souls. Time and space will be suspended now for a while.... Anyway, the past is really the present come to call, the future is really the present in fast forward, and the present, well, the present is a combination of it all. Wouldn't it be so nice for some (or many) to create something new from something past? Even if it's in your present relationship.....

There is an intense T-Square involving Jupiter and the Moon, Uranus and the Sun, and big daddy Pluto! This is prompting us to grit our teeth and make sense of some of the obstacles of our daily lives and long term visions. It has rippled out from our inner core to our immediate metaphysical aura, and beyond. And it has a boomerang effect. The magnetic shield surrounding us can be cleansed with this full moon. Take time during the retrogrades to pause....yes, I know, how can this be when we have been going so strong? But remember, in the word of Mercury and Mars in Taurus, slow and steady win the race. Of course with the planets currently "all over the map", it's so hard to consider this when we feel like the bull (Taurus) at the starting gate.
Alas, we are meant to evolve and transform! And really, in the end, it's going to be alright! Here is a little song to brighten your day...
Enjoy this complicated moon with all it's idiosyncrasies. It's a labyrinth of some confusion, but nice surprises, to spice up our lives for the next 2 weeks, at least, and the season of retrogrades, at most.
Be sure to go out under the moonlight with someone you like, or love, and ponder the beauty of the night sky! Think about your past and ponder your future. Give thanks for all your blessings. Release your fears and frustrations. Enjoy the Easter religious holidays. Anticipate what the new season will bring you. Help the needy, lonely, abandoned, sick, elderly, suffering, animals and children.
We have a New Moon in Aries on Monday, March 27th, at 10:57 p.m., edt. This is a New Year's week for the cosmos. The beginning of Spring, the sign of Aries, the New Moon....all signal a call to begin again. However, this time, we must begin with reflective caution. This is a little tough for fire dragon Aries. Right now, he has no choice.
Venus and Jupiter are retrograde, and the Sun conjunct Venus has recently burned out some old toxic energy to make way for Venus' purification so badly needed and missed. Remember Venus is more than romantic love and relationships. It's also money, possessions, beauty, art, and, of course, sex appeal. I have been seeing this cautionary warning for Venus for many, many moons, and in the past 2 eclipse seasons. There are 5 celestial bodies in Aries right now. The fiery energy of Aries and the Sun are making sure that your Venus is purified. And of course the watery spiritual cleansing of the New Moon in Aries is washing away all the residue.
So. We have a double edged sword to deal with here, and Aries just loves swords. You WILL be able to move forward with victory, honor, self assurance, and success, if .... you follow the guidelines of the cosmos. Be cautious with love and money. Be careful with beauty. Take care of your valued possessions. Saturn wants you grounded. Jupiter wants Justice. And, a word of warning, if these are not forthcoming, Uranus will unexpectedly show you how it is to be done. Of course all these things depend on your own personal chart and where the moon is located at the time of its newness.
Remember, purification is a good thing. Love to be renewed to it's proper state requires the diligence of the soul to accept the guidance of the spiritual cleansing. After all, what's pure will last forever. Yes?
Click on the song to understand the New Moon!
Of course, with a lunar Aries sign, there can be some impatience with all your pending projects, whether they involve love or not. Remember, patience is one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues. What better of a time and sign is there to burn off the rough edges than a solar, lunar, Venus stellium in Aries? With the assistance of Mercury and Uranus in Aries, there will be much to look forward to in the way of progress in the coming weeks.
You may set your careful intentions right away. Bless them with purity. Love purely. Create beautifully. Run faster. Think better. Feel deeper....Happy New Moon!
We have another vibrant and mystical Full Moon on Sunday, March 12th, at 10:52 a.m., eastern time, in Virgo.
Ahhh, the joys of mysticism...and that is what you can get from this one, if you want it. But. There is a flip side, too.
First of all, there is a Neptune, Sun, Mercury, Chiron, all in Pisces conjunction and stellium. Love, Love, Love this. Take it from a lifetime Neptune girl that is a Pisces Sun & Cancer Moon. I also have Neptune this and Neptune that in my natal chart. The expansive bliss of Neptune can be indescribable. The journey through enlightenment, fantasy, and creativity can be astounding and dangerous, equally. My advice for all the inexperienced Neptunians and earthlings paying attention to this full moon is this. Be careful what you wish for. Think before you speak. Really think before you act. Look before you leap. When in doubt....don't do it. If it's going to hurt innocent people or creatures, don't do it. If it's going to hurt you in the long run, don't do it.
As a matter of fact, hold up before you do anything right now. We are still feeling the aftershocks of the eclipse season here. Remember Leo's larger than life Full Moon in Drama... if I may say so? Remember that recent solar eclipse in Pisces two weeks ago, that left you reeling from seasickness and cosmic confusion? BTW, that one is still going strong. Also, the Neptunian energy is still prominent and slightly delicate with Chiron energy feeling vulnerable to past hurts, memories.
Now, with all that bottled up energy from Jupiter retrograde, Uranus in Aries, and Godfather Pluto going strong, you may be wanting to jump off a cliff with this lunar energy challenging you to become the next entry in the Guiness Book of World Records. Get advice from a true earth sign, i.e., Virgo. Good old solid Moon in Virgo. Don't. do. it. And there you have the flip side.
Channel your agression, ambition, determination, and grit into developing this Neptunian energy into a creative, spiritual, and humanitarian manifestation, using the earthy energy of the Virgo moon. Virgo and Pisces really are compatible you know. Yes, the moon is in Virgo, the watery, metaphysical moon. Virgo will be enriched by this, and can't deny it's deep saturation. The stellium in Pisces is in the ego driven, blazing and brazen golden and glaring spotlights of the Sun. Pisces is subtle, and is discovered when the sun shines on it. Pisces sun needs the stability of Virgo right now. So. They oppose each other right now, but they also complement each other. They need each other. They are compatible.

Use the mystical energy of the moon to enrich your earthly activities and goals. Use the Pisces stellium and conjunctions to manifest their magically creative qualities. The full moon is a time of closure, but I always say and believe, also a time for enlightenment and awareness. Awareness of how far you have come. Awareness of what must be let go. Awareness of what you must be grateful for. We are now reaching the conclusion of the physical eclipse cycle, but the metaphysical energy lingers on.
Relationships will be challenged with Venus in retrograde, making a square to Pluto. Re-evaluate your situation and your intentions. The Moon's quincunx with Uranus may leave many frustrated. With Pluto in trine to the Moon, you may discover the intensity to be quite transformative, hopefully for the better. If not....well....cut your losses... and move on to the beautiful dream state of Neptune in Pisces, that will offer you hope, with a secret, gentle aspect available and buried in the stars. It's there. For those who can see it.
This mystical energy of Pluto and the Moon will also make ready many blissful moments of intense creativity, healing, spirituality, and supernatural miracles, all coupled with the availability of Piscean sparkle and glow. Just what the dark distant recesses of cool, mysterious Pluto could use right now from this lunar cosmic package.
Remember. This is a full moon with all the extras trailing from the eclipses, as well as the captivating magnetic pull of Piscean energy.
Here are some helpful tips for the next 2 weeks:
1. Don't make any sudden (Uranus) moves (Mercury).
2. Combine earthy (Virgo), spiritual (Moon) activities with creative (Neptune), healing (Chiron), service (Mercury).
3. Don't be frustrated with set-backs (Jupiter retrograde).
4. Transform (Pluto) your inner being with spiritual (Neptune) earthiness (Virgo).
5. Take care of your health, either physical, mental, or spiritual.
6. Healing with water, earth, and sunshine works best.
7. Plant in your garden healing herbs, vegetables, flowers, under the sunshine, saturating with full moon water.
8. Take care of damaged emotions with healing and nurturing.
9. Have faith in the beauty and bliss of the unseen world.
Welcome to the magnificent Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse in Leo, on Friday, February 10th at 7:32 p.m., eastern time.
This will be an eclipse to remember. It is a fabulous conglomeration of transits and aspects to ignite your world, at least for a moment in time, if not eternity....
It is time to set your life on fire in a flame of glory. Eclipse season has begun. This eclipse will bring you an opportunity to seal the deal on many things in your world, and the world at large. It is a full moon, so you must leave some things behind, welcome some new things on the horizon, and definitely be super grateful for all the wonderful gifts that have been divinely gifted to you.
A lunar eclipse may upset, or rather I should say, re-arrange, your apple cart a little (or a lot). In a couple weeks you may be shaking off some moondust, wondering, "What the heck?" Do not be dismayed. It is all meant to direct your life on earth according to the metaphysical and divine plan.
The physical movement of a lunar eclipse is when the Moon passes behind the earth into it's shadow. This is called the "umbra". The Sun, Earth, and Moon are all in alignment. So you can see why and how this is pretty significant, physically and metaphysically. Also, you can see why our "shadow" sides are revealed and enlightened, as the moon seemingly "disappears" into the shadows. The momentary confusion, bewilderment, and also excitement, can be for your development and enjoyment. This particular eclipse is called a "prenumbral". Here is a link to read and study up on all that from the website, http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/what-is-a-penumbral-eclipse-of-the-moon. When you ponder these mysteries of the moon, it is no wonder we come away from an eclipse both mesmerized and transformed.

I must say, luckily, this eclipse will be in the happy-go-lucky, over-the-top, "how do you like me now" charismatic sign of Leo. Trust me. I know about these things. I have a strong Leo ascendant and Uranus in Leo in my first house.
There are some major aspects worth noting here:
I call this eclipse the Perfect Storm.....
-The Moon is aspecting Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, fabulously (yes, this is an adverb). This will make for great energy to absorb in the expansion of solid, long term relationships and family life, along with businesses that are spiritual, creative, or healing based. The spiritual and emotional aspects of the moon will be protective here. With Uranus involved, sudden changes could be startling, so try not to be too surprised. Try...
-Uranus is making a very positive aspect to the Sun, Woo hoo! Again, excitement may be grand and larger than life on a large scale, so expect the unexpected thrill of, well, anything.
- Mars has great aspects to Mercury, Neptune, and Venus. 3 planets in Aries mean business, too, especially in love, romance, and marriage.
-Mars Conjuncts Venus just in time for Valentines Day on Tuesday, for all you lovers out there, and here again, in the areas where it is the strongest tells me the perfect gift would be a trip to the spa for couples! Do something for physical and metaphysical splurging involving water, healing, and dare I say, a midnight swim under the moonlight?? (Or if you're snowbound, say something like, ice skating under the moonlight?) :) No matter what it is, it better be good, or potentially Venus could get a little moody.
-Again! The Mars male energy should take initiative. Neptune in positive aspect to Venus looks romantic and creative. Mars aspecting Neptune in the 6th house calls for healing and nurturing. Mercury in the 5th house of romantic relationships and fun times, including sports, is aspecting both Mars and Venus, in the7th house of long term relationships and partnerships.
-The home lights will be glowing and the money flowing with the Moon activating the 2nd and 4th houses, possibly.
-The Sun trines Jupiter in a blaze of glory! See what I mean? Do something big, fun, amazing....
Ironically, at just a couple minutes before the exact moon hits, the wheel forms a stunning "perfect storm" of amazing geometrical configurations. It is a stunning combination of the following:
-2 Grand Trines
-1 Mystic Rectangular
-1 Envelope (that's my name for it), with an X (part of the mystic rectangle)
-1 T Square
-1 Hexagon

This is what is called Sacred Geometry at it's finest, my friends! Seriously. If this isn't worth celebrating, I don't know what is. This image is close to what I see embedded in this moon chart. It is downright captivating. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Mayans would love this stuff right now.
These are most excellent and auspicious mysteries to ponder and apply to our lives. It is so complicated and unexplainable for a quick lesson, that it's most likely meant to be mystically examined, for now. However, an in depth study would be mesmerizing.
It would be worth it to check your personal chart with transits to see how exactly these will help you, because they can and they will. If you can activate your mind at the moment of this eclipse, you will enlighten your soul and brighten your path.
Try to capture all this eclipse has to offer. The benefits are astounding. Spend the weekend, the month, the season moving through this myriad of bliss, creatively and metaphysically. Don't be deterred by the naysayers. Don't be fooled by the skeptics. Don't be disheartened by the pressures. Like a buried treasure, (although this one isn't buried), find the goodness. Find the ecstacy. It's there.
Place your items under the moon to energize. Put together an "altar" of your favorite things.
Be conscious of the energy through prayer, meditation, acts of kindness, gratitude. Do not harm others as you pursue the desires of your heart. Care for the animals, the elderly, the forgotten and ignored, the sick, the abandoned and helpless. The moon phases are for these things. Go out under the moonlight and count your lucky stars. You will also see the Comet 45P come very close to the earth in the next couple of days. How's that magic for you?
While I strive for excellent knowledge in all things metaphysical and astrological, I by no means claim to be an absolute authority on the divine cosmos and planets. If you need more detailed information about your own personal life, it is best to consult your personal birth, moon, and transit chart.
