Leaning into the landscape of your dreams

Pisces Full Moon. Leaning into the landscape of your dreams
30 August 4:39 am Kuala Lumpur

This month’s full moon falls in the sign of Pisces. I’ve always loved days of the Pisces moon. It’s gentle and mystical tone makes one more receptive to the beauty in the world. Music sounds sweeter, our emotions more sensitive and finely tuned. With Pisces energy our dreams become deeper, more lucid, vivid and alive.

The watery realm of Pisces is related to the ocean, and to oceanic consciousness. This consciousness allows us to see and feel connected in our hearts with all of life and creation. This embryonic state of consciousness, and our longing to return to this primordial state of oneness is deeply embedded in each one of us, having experienced this oneness while we were still in our mother’s wombs. This Pisces moon we may renew and dream our way back into feeling this inter-connectedness with life, and with the divine.

We can renew our spiritual sides and pay attention to our intuition, and to the symbols and signs that come through our dreams and synchronicities. Is there a special message coming through for you, or a hint to nurture a certain connection or aspect of your life?

We may be feeling more emotionally vulnerable during the full moon, and more so with the moon in Pisces conjunct to Neptune and opposite to Jupiter in Virgo. We could feel overwhelmed if the moon shines a light on areas where we feel like we haven’t achieved or gotten what we want. We may feel we are not quite where we want to be in life.

With this sign and planet combination, this could relate to spiritual ideals and where one is in one’s spiritual life. Pisces is related to the emotions, so if this is the case for you, take time to sit with your feelings, and as the moon moves from fullness to her waning phase, begin releasing and letting go of those emotional holding patterns.

Know that we will have the opportunity to begin moving forward, and to seed our wishes and intentions when the moon comes to the new moon phase.

With the potential for greater heart connected-ness, compassion and connection to the spiritual realm, the flip side of Pisces is the potential to become caught up in escapist tendencies, illusions and addiction. The balance and antidote to this, is found in the sign of Virgo.

The Sun and Jupiter newly moving in the sign of Virgo suggests tending to our daily lives as a form of devotion. Where Pisces is connected to the realm of dream, intuition and consciousness, Virgo is related to our bodies and to our daily lives, our health, to service to others and our work. Both signs are related to healing.

Here we are encouraged to cultivate mind-body connection as spiritual practice. The inspiration of Pisces needs the practical magic of Virgo to bring our dreams into earthly manifestation. By the light of the moon, we can now discern where we need to focus in order to bring our goals to fruition. We can also see now where we need help, and who we can co operate with for mutual support.

From the fullness of the moon, we now move towards the waning phase. As the moon decreases in light, we are aided in letting go of outworn patterns, releasing grievances, and moving into a space of forgiveness and compassion for ourselves and others.

This moon phase, we can offer up an addiction or bad habit that we wish to be rid of in our lives. The sign of Virgo is related to health, and to clean and healthy eating. This is one of the best times of the year to get on track with changing your eating habits, and for beginning that healthy diet.

Jupiter’s recent ingress in Virgo suggests that our way forward, beginning from this season until he leaves for Libra in September 2016 involves making our own luck. This include making our own luck through service to others, chopping wood and carrying water, paying attention to, and tending to the details of the grand vision of our lives, and putting in the work.

We will explore more deeply how we can work with this energy to create more contentment and fulfillment at the next new moon report.

Wishing you a most inspiring full moon!

New Moon 14 August 2015

14 August 2015, 22:53 Kuala Lumpur
The sky is lighted up by fiery Leo energy with this new moon.

New Moon times can be said to be the coming together of the masculine yang of the Sun and the feminine Yin of the moon. This monthly marriage of the Sun and moon is a time for us to be still, and to tune into our inner knowing as to where we are, and how we are in our lives. It is during this time that we can plan for what we wish to see unfold in our futures. New moon times are especially potent for wish making and intention setting.

The sign of Leo rules the heart. Leo energy is warm, life affirming, expressive and creative. This new moon in Leo is conjunct to a retrograde Venus, who has been asking us to consider what our hearts truly value, and whether we are expressing and aligning with our hearts, and expressing the truth of who we are in our lives.

Some questions to consider during this new moon are, where and how do we experience joy in our life? Are there areas in our life which could use more playfulness and spontaneous expression? What are our values in friendship, romance, love and creativity? Do we feel that we can express and create a life based on our heart’s true values? How is our heart doing?

With Uranus trined to the new moon, we may find that it is easy to break through any stale mates with regards to old patterns that hold us back from living and expressing from our hearts. We may also find it easy to renew affections and relationships at this time. Uranus trine to the new moon also speaks to creative break throughs and realizations, innovation and genius. The Leo Sun and Moon combination asks us to shine our light out onto the world, and to live a life aligned with our heart’s fire.

Colouring outside the lines

Blue Moon in Aquarius

31st July 2015 at 6:12pm, Kuala Lumpur

Happy Blue Moon in Aquarius. The blue moon phenomena happens once every two to three years. Although there has been no special meaning assigned to the blue moon astrologically, this particular full moon has its own particular brand of magic.

The Aquarian full moon encourages us to find and center in our own truth and authenticity. Do we believe in something that sets us apart from others? Can we find the courage inside of ourselves to live our truth and to be ourselves if that means being different? What would it take for us to live centered in our authenticity?

The full moon is a time of ripening. We experience the results and lessons that come from our intentions and actions from previous cycles. What is appearing for you at this time? The full moon in Aquarius lights the path by rapidly firing innovative and eclectic ideas. She invites you to take a clear, detached,bird’s eye view of your life. As we are immersed in the energies of Aquarius’s electric genius, we begin to see where and how we can begin to live more authentically.

Aquarius rules humanitarianism, groups, collectives, communities, friendships as well as technology. We might find our selves being more concerned with what is happening to us collectively, and find inspiration to contribute or participate in endeavors that contribute to the betterment of the collective. This is especially apt with the ongoing political and social crisis in Malaysia.

Along with the social and group focus of the Aquarian full moon, the Sun, being in the sign of Leo encourages us to shine and share our unique gifts. Leo rules the heart, and all that we love. During Leo season, we seek and celebrate pleasure, life and creativity. For Leo, the creativity, joy, playfulness and expression that we offer up to others and to the world is a gift that comes from our hearts, and affirms life and love.

The shadow of Leo is needing attention and applause to feed its own sense of special-ness. Here, the Aquarian moon prods us to speak and to honor our truth, even if that costs us our popularity. The Aquarian shadow is that of being too detached and aloof, even as it purports to further humanity. Here, the warmth and heart of Leo can bring more color and life to Aquarius’s projects. With the full moon polarities, we are asked to balance and integrate the best of both energies.

May this full moon light our hearts up with joyful love and creativity, as we find the freedom to colour outside the lines and to live and create outside the box.
