Not only does the New Moon refer to Book 2 of The Twilight Series, it refers to one of the phases of the Moon. This Saturday, there will be a New Moon hanging in the night sky, bringing with it lots of good things. But what exactly is a New Moon? It’s when the Sun and Moon occupy the same vantage point of the sky and are conjunct with each other. This phase of the Moon brings with it new beginnings, welcoming opportunity and healthy change. 

Aura ext 8335 says, “Full Moons open the gates of your mind to illumination. Be on the lookout for significant new understandings in the coming week.”

Growth, renewal, expansion, restoration. The New Moon lends amazing energy to projects that need to get off the ground, new initiatives that need implementing and moving forward in a positive new direction. It’s a great time to make some changes, eliminating negative habits or people out of your life.

Heres a poem about astral traveling,   I hope you  all  have a great National Psychic Week filled with  light and energy to create what your envisioning!

Surfing the waves
Darker than caves
Through space and time leaving this planet behind
The universe is alive – Into the vastness I dive
Streaming beams of electricity
Creativity within synchronicity
A planet much like ours far out into the stars
Atoms and molecules converting in me
Here I am only energy
I look, listen and learn so much
I reach out to touch
In this dimension I am set free
Seeing has created all possibility
Go within to take this quest
Meditation is the best
Deeper into the abyss I go
I know to swim with the flow
Vibrations of the worlds I see
Come travel with me
All that is yesterday, today & tomorrow
Will never carry another sorrow
For infinite light expands
The wisdom of lives it demands
In all dimensions living
Knowledge they are given
Eyes can’t observe what we deserve
Only spirit can see
All that we can be

Love and peace always,

On the bright side, Mercury has gone direct again on the 22nd so that bit is pretty much over by the time the Moon comes in. When Mercury goes direct, it is still in the “shadow of the retrograde” for a while, so don’t expect an instant turn around.  But by the 29th things should be starting to get back to normal, at least as far as the retrograde goes, there are still six planets in Aries.

Now the big question: How will this affect you?

First understand that this energy is being felt by everyone, all over the world.  In that way it is sure to affect you through the people you deal with. The most intense degrees will be the 29th through the fourth degree in any sign.  The ones affected by Uranus and the planers that will join him this month will be felt most strongly with planets at this degree in Cardinal signs* and in Fire signs.**

In the same signs, Jupiter will be affecting later degrees.  Jupiter doesn’t really affect anything badly and it mostly is strong and positive.  So planets in later degrees in those signs will find things pretty lucky and generally pleasant in places.

Just remember that all of this energy is happening together, you can’t really separate it.

Any planet in these signs will be aspected by many of these energies as they dance through this month.  And don’t count out the other signs either, the aspects might be less intense, but you will feel it.

Adding to this 29th to 1st degree energy we have another really big change going on this month.  Over on the edge of Pisces, Neptune is moving into its own sign.  This will make it very powerful and Neptune’s power is an entirely different thing than the planets in Aries are bringing.

Neptune is the energy of connection with the limitless state of the universal mind. Neptune eats away at ego perception. It defies logic and rational approaches. Neptune operates on a very subtle level. It is beneath the place where we keep our conscious awareness, beneath the area where we have words.

Neptune is best perceived in meditation, a slightly altered state where you can see beyond physical reality.  It is part of our lessons at this time and we have to keep it in mind while dealing with all of this direct energy. We must use both. Neptune can be perceived as very confusing.  There are often vivid dreams.  There is often a feeling that you are not seeing everything you need to know.  This is true, because there is a lot going on in the parts of your mind where you don’t have experience in this life.

It is going to push us to really transform our thoughts and visions.  Really magical things can happen when we allow Neptune to have its highest manifestation.

The danger of Neptune is that if you do not use it spiritually or creatively, you can feel so confused that you reach for some self-medication.  All kinds of drugs and alcohol addictions are possible here if you don’t get a positive grip on it.  So be careful.

This will be felt most by Mutable Signs*** and Water Signs**** but its energy will be with all of us, one way or another.

The Universe has set us a very intense challenge this year with all of this happening at once.  You really can’t duck out on it, it is everywhere.  The whole planet is set up for transformation that is deep and will change everything.  You are part of it.  Enjoy the ride.

*Cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn.
** Fire signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.
***Mutable Signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces.
****Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

With so much going on, see how these planetary happenings will affect you with a Psychic Reading!

We begin April with four planets in lively Aries!  But we are just getting started.  First, let’s catch up.  On March 12, just about the time of the quake and tsunami, give or take a few seconds, Uranus moved into Aries. Uranus energy is fast, deep transformation.  “You have to change, and you have to do it NOW!” That’s how Uranus operates.

Aries energy is the energy of beginnings; it is fearless and willing to try anything.  It goes too fast, ignores warnings, just wants to make it happen and experience it NOW.

Jupiter, the energy that makes things larger, more intense and pretty interesting is also in Aries now.  It has paved the way for Uranus’ visit for the next seven years.  Seven years in Aries, be prepared to see your world change quickly!

On April 1st, the Moon joins the fun and shakes hands with Uranus.  The Moon, the emotional center, laughing uncontrollably, bursting into tears, feeling really restless, these are all potentials with Moon/Uranus.

Now back to April, because there is SERIOUS energy here.  On April 2nd, Mars catches Uranus and enters Aries, where it is very at home, as it is the ruler of Aries.  Mars is another strong and high-energy presence, he likes to make things happen, push a little harder.  You can see that when he pals around with Uranus in Aries, there could be mischief, these two like trouble.

It is going to be quite a ride.

Specifically, on April 2nd, try not to drive, but, if you have to, be sure the car is in perfect shape and you are paying attention.  The car could easily overheat, blow a tire or just bump into something.  I wish I could tell you all the auto incidents I have seen with these two over the years.  I, personally, don’t drive when they meet.  And now they are in Aries.  Really, be careful.

Now there are six planets in Aries, overloading one of the most intense signs.

If you are not having enough fun yet, Mercury is retrograde at the beginning of the month, which gives it an extra-long passage in Aries.  Mercury retro is well known for messing with communications and communications instruments: phone and computer, particularly.  But remember this one is universal, so it also affects those issues is everyone you deal with.  Expect delays, people thinking you meant something you didn’t when you talk to them, e-mail or instant message.  And expect it to be more in your face than it has been before.

On April 5th, we have the Sun right next to Jupiter; that is usually a good day. Mars is separating from Uranus now but is close enough to still expect mischief, and of course there is Mercury retro in this.  It should be a day that has a lot of everything going on. We are probably not going to catch our breath until the Sun goes into Taurus on the 21st.  But it is not at all certain that this is going to be a lot easier because here comes Venus!

Venus the planet of love, of relationships and creativity is not a shrinking violet.  She can get the emotions roiling. Uranus moves slowly so he is keeping the gateway into Aries, and so as Venus enters, they meet up. Add Venus to Uranus’s electric energy and people could be falling in love and breaking up relationships and also coming up with wild and wonderful new creative ideas.  Venus enters Aries on the 21st just as the Sun leaves. And we are back to five planets in Aries.

Stay Tuned for Part II of Marching into Aries: Here’s April

Want to get a sneak peak or delve into your energy? Give Terra a call!

Last weekend’s Full Moon was powerful and the effects of a Full Moon can be felt 3-6 days before and after. So if you haven’t already:

This full moon welcome spring. Let go of unwanted or negative aspects of your life and bring in new positivity!

Write a list of all of the negative things you’d like to let go of in your life and burn them under the full moon in an enclosed campfire or fireproof container

Open a paper bag -  jot down on sticky notes what you’d like to bring into your life – stick them to the inside of the paper bag and leave it under the moon light opened overnight

Charge all of your crystals and stones by soaking them in salt water under the full moon then the sunlight the following day

Now you’re cleansed of the old, open to the new and recharged for spring growth!

You most start the spell on Monday, March 19th right after the sun goes down in order for it to work effectively. My Full Moon Love/Lust Magnet Spell will guarantee someone by the end of March.

My Full Moon Love / Lust Magnet Spell is effective and fast. It has been secretively passed down through many generations. But, I ‘ve decided it’s time to share this effective love spell with anyone who feels they need some extra love’n!

My Love/Lust Magnet Spell will help you feel better about yourself. It’s designed to help magnify your erotic energy and appeal. You’ll see that people will likely want to engage in passionate interludes with you. Plus, this spell not only helps with finding love but it makes you feel a lot more attractive. Therefore, you will find that people see you differently and are eager to be around you. People will want to socialize more than usual. In other words, you’ll turn into a flirt! At least in their eyes! ~ LOL! funny as that may sound it’s true.

Keep in mind that while conducting the cleansing you will also be showering yourself with positive energy. Positive energy can make profound headway on your pathway with personal and spiritual transformation and create greater personal satisfaction and expansive shifts in consciousness. The cleansing provides you with a spiritual awakening. Its intent is to help you remember yourself as a spiritual being even if you are encountering physical, mental, emotional or spiritual challenges.

Things YOU will need:
• 1 red pen or marker
• 1 sheet of lined paper
• your favorite perfume
• your favorite shade of red or pink lipstick
• 1 honey jar or bottle

Write out the qualities you want in your lover using the “red” pen or marker, make sure to include as much information as possible.

Next spritz the paper with your favorite perfume.
Use your lipstick and kiss the paper as many times as you wish. “You’ll know when to stop”.
Fold the paper and place it in the honey jar. Make sure it’s completely covered with honey.
Place it underneath your bed or beside your bed. You can also place it on your night stand.
“While your doing the steps above envision yourself happy, sexy, and in love. You must envision this scene repeatedly in your mind and thoughts.”

Every morning for 5 days (Saturday, the 19th through – Thursday, the 24th) when you wake up you’ll open the honey jar and dip the point of your finger into the jar and taste the honey. Every morning for 7 days, When licking the honey from your finger you must think about what you are asking for and simply think good thoughts. Close your eyes and picture the person already in your life picture yourself in love, feeling happy, sexy, and beautiful.

IMPORTANT:
While you’re conducting the spell you must practice one very “important” role, no matter how bad, or how good things are going for you must not share it with anyone, not even your closes friends. Try to keep things to yourself at least until your 100% positive that what you’ve been wanting is met.

All this might not make a lot of sense but it deals a lot with how you carry yourself and how your aura reflects, or absorbs negative and positive. “Some people tend to cramp your style.”

If you know what I mean… I wish you the best of luck!!

If you are holding on to any old emotional baggage, it is time to release it.  You don’t want to be carrying into the new cycle. You can’t swim through Aries, you have to be light and loose in the fire sign this year.

So, in preparation, the Universe has given you just the right energy to do Pisces in a big way, to let go of the little prisons you have made for your emotions and to really drop them off into a sea of transformation.

How is this done?  It starts with forgiveness.  It is not a confrontational forgiveness that just gets it going all over again in the same circles.  It is a personal forgiveness.  You just forgive the person who you see as causing the pain you are holding.  Then you release the energy.

This kind of forgiving allows you to let go of the patterns that have been holding you back, keeping you going into the attic of your soul and going through the old memory trunks that bring back the painful memories.

When you forgive, you very often have to take a good look and notice that the person you are forgiving was only being himself or herself as far as they knew how to be at the time.  You can’t be blaming someone for that.  So forgive them, forgive in your heart, don’t tell them, just feel the release.  Drop that old emotions into Pisces’s deep waters and let the water transform it.

You will often find that when you explore these areas, you realize that you could have done a bit better at the time too.  So forgive yourself.  For everyone you need to forgive, forgive yourself twice.  Just let it go.

And if you reel the need as you see things more clearly, go ahead and apologize of anyone who might be holding negative ideas of things you may have caused.  You didn’t know better then, but if you have learned, you can do this honestly.

When you know better, you do better.  After the 21st, this month will shift abruptly and be all about doing.  You want to be light and loose going into it, because it I going to have a lot of energy and you’ll want to play with it.

This is about as far as I have ever written an astrology blog without mentioning which planets are where.  We start March with Sun, Mercury Mars and Uranus in Pisces.  This called a stellium, a concentration of planets in one sign. It emphasizes the energy of the sign. Mars is one of these planets; Mars is usually your power planet.  But fiery Mars kind sizzles and sparks in this much water, it can’t help you much.

Mercury is about thought and communications. Here in this sign he thinking about feelings, he doesn’t do that often or very well. The Sun in there and always the energy of the chart, it can handle the water very well, but it won’t let you pretend that these emotions are not there, he makes you focus on it.�

Finally, thee is Uranus, powerful change and transformation!  Uranus has been hanging around here for years, he knows the place,  he has recently had a visit from Jupiter and Uranus now has a chance to proceed with knowledge of the change that is needed.  But Uranus is impatient.  He wants the change now, and this is his last pass in Pisces for about 160 years!  You will feel pushed to change this emotional area during the first two weeks of this month.

Still think you can hold out?  Well the moon joins all of this for three days on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th.  The Moon is all about emotion.  You might as well dive in, get this done and be ready for the changes later in the month because they are pretty intense. Aries Comes IN, in a Big Way.

The Vernal Equinox, the first day of spring, little crocuses appearing, hints of warm breezes.  This year though, Yowzah!  There is a lot more energy than usual in this seasonal change!�

Remember Uranus, the one who likes to make changes fast, the one who takes no excuses and demands Change NOW? Well he is entering Aries today with the energy of the SUN exactly with him.  The first degree of Aries is one of the most active in the Zodiac.  It is a birthing time for the year.  The zodiac’s Happy New Year without all the alcohol.

It is opening, trying new things (everything is new) being fearless.  Aries makes a motorcycle seem like a great idea, doesn’t mind trying a little mountain climbing even though it might still be a little slippery. Jupiter, the Great Beneficent, is already there preparing the way with confidence and high expectations. And now it begins with the Sun and Uranus teaming up to begin the business of change.  Don’t hang on, go with it.  It is play time.

Don’t be afraid of change, unless your life is absolutely perfect, change is good news.  Even if you have been hunkering down like many have in this time of economic difficulty, it is time to get into action.  It doesn’t have to be pointed towards the practical this month; this is more of an unexpected breakthrough.

You don’t have to work with this kind of change, just join with it and play along, push through further when you see an opportunity.  Don’t be afraid of going too fast, don’t try to catch your balance, there is time for all of that later.

As we get to the end of the month, Mars is about to enter Aries too, its own sign.  The energy changes again.

After a long January in Capricorn, February looks like a whole new thing, and most of us can use a new thing.

With seven planets in air signs, quick thinking and communications are highlighted. Venus and Jupiter are both in fire signs. Things are moving now, it is not just thinking it out, and there is an urge to be doing.

We started February with a new moon on the 3rd (this one has Mars on it.) It could have had you making new plans for action, especially in the weeks that followed. It might bring a new man into your life or magnify your own masculine side to make things happen.

On the fourth, Mercury moved into Aquarius and revved up your social side. But at the same time, that crescent moon was right on Neptune and that can bring dreams! It was a very strong time to experience your own psychic side, feeling your feelings deeply and sensing other people’s, too. Pay attention to those little voices in your head and stay clear.
Venus met Pluto on the ninth and they were squaring Jupiter. This happens at about 3-9 degrees in Earth Signs or squares in Cardinals. If you have a chart check those degrees, the more exact it is the more likely it is to be an issue for you.

You will see transformations in relationships and deep but beneficial changes. It is a powerful and very positive, but don’t try to hold onto things as they have been when change like this is at hand or it can be difficult to navigate. The Moon trines here too, trines are good so it might help you with the emotional side of the issue.

Pluto has a “you can pay me now, or you can pay me later” quality that is way easier to deal with if you go with the flow.
Saturn is dancing in Libra at the moment, making that sign a bit tricky and not at all easy to deal with. Bumping along with responsibility and authority figures is tiring anywhere in mid Libra. But all this Aquarius energy this month might just lighten it up a bit.

And we had this year, one of the most interesting Valentine’s days I have seen in a while.

The emotional Moon was trining all those Aquarius planets, one after the other, with Neptune strongly in it. It will be fun, no doubt, but it is probably not your best time to make commitments. Try to put them off until next month when you’ll all be in a better emotional spot than on Valentine’s Day. Play, have fun, talk and dance and dream! Things that happen today might just turn into something, but not right now.
This is such a Neptuney month! You need to know that this is why you are feeling kind of different with all of this.
On the 20th Mars and Mercury are both smack on Neptune at 28 degrees in Aquarius. Uranus, meanwhile, is at 28 degrees in Pisces. So this planet of change will be affecting all of this too, making it a time that would not be great to make big decisions or to try to think things through.
Just enjoy the trip for a bit. Toward the middle of March you will see things beginning to move along quickly and the things that are just a germ of an idea now will move along very quickly then.

This energy is mostly in one place, so if you look at your chart, it is all in Capricorn, well, mostly.  So if you know what house Capricorn is in, early Capricorn, in your chart, you should be able to discover what area of life this is all operating in.

You can’t use house placements unless you have your time of birth, they are all based on that.  But there are other things you can see without it so here goes.

On December 10th Mercury goes retrograde, again.  And with that come all the little hassles retrograde Mercury brings around communications.

Then there is Pluto, just waiting for them, just lurking to join the party.   Pluto in Capricorn is about transformation of the earth energy that rules government and organizations.  This energy will be an area of transformation for years. 

On December 5th, Mercury swings past Pluto,   Pluto is less than a full degree from the North Node that day, so we are looking at: transformation, spiritual evolution and communications energy in the energy of Capricorn: practical,  ambitious,  stable.

Mercury moves fast, this is normally a quick one, day pass.  But not this time, remember the retrograde?   Mercury turns around just a degree and a half from Pluto, so that communications and mental energy it brings is going to transform.

On the twelfth Mars conjuncts the North Node, bringing whatever past issues you haven’t yet dealt with.  Mars brings direct energy and often energy around men.   Karmic issues that need resolution in order for you to progress. All of these energies are functioning together for the next week, until the 13th and 14th at least with those two days being the strongest energy.

Then on the 13th through the 16th, the Sun squares Uranus and Jupiter with the Moon on Uranus and Jupiter on the 13th.   That is a LOT of energy for a particular day.  And all of the energy is toward change.
Uranus likes immediate change.  Pluto generally gives you a lot of time to transform.   And Saturn who usually slow down the change is completely out of the picture. Mercury and Mars are active personal energy.  This can be an amazing time.

In your chart, look for planets between 2 and 6 degrees for the strongest impact.  Look especially at Earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo) for the easier but no less profound changes.  And look at Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer,  Libra and Capricorn) for the most intense changes.  Other signs at the degree will feel this, but not as intensely.

And remember that even if it misses hitting your chart, you will be dealing with a lot of people that will be finding these intense energies making changes and transforming their lives, probably very unexpectedly.
If you have old forgiving to do, this is the time.  If you have old issues to resolve do it now, so you can move ahead.

If you stay in the light this transformation can be amazing; it is an opportunity to leave old issues behind and rapidly transform your personal destiny to a higher space.

As the Wort Moon of July waxes to full, it is a perfect time for gathering herbs.  The word “wort” is old Anglo-Saxon for “herb”.  One of the herbs I like to gather at this time of year is mugwort, also known as ‘ Magickal Mugwort”.  Mugwort grows wild where I live.  If you can’t find wild mugwort, you can obtain some from any herbal shop or online.  Mugwort is used for removing negative energy and psychic growth. 

Mugwort steeped in spring water is great for cleaning crystals and other scrying tools.  Using this same infusion for cleaning mirrors in the home is a good idea, as mirrors are said to hold negative energy.  A small pouch of Mugwort placed in the pillow and slept upon is said to bring lucid dreams.  Mugwort, when mixed with sandalwood and burned during meditation and scrying rituals, is said to increase psychic visions.  It is also useful to banish interference prior to divination such as a Tarot reading or Rune casting.  Mugwort kept with a Tarot deck will keep one spread or reading from interfering with the next.  This is just one of the many herbs you can gather at the Wort Moon.

As the Wort Moon draws near, we can listen for the sound of distant thunder that may bring a sudden summer storm to relieve the heat and quench the garden.  This is a magical time of year!  My wish for you and yours is love light and many summer Blessings.
