Our first Lunar Eclipse for 2017 will be a deeply energising and transformative time – especially so as we also have 5 planets forming a pentagram during our Full Moon Lunar Eclipse.
The Full Moon in Leo is offering us a powerful, magical and wonderful opportunity to remain optimistic, as well as being open to change.
The energy formed during this Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse/Pentagram will ensure that our lives are put into perfect balance and harmony.
Our first New Moon for 2017 falls into the detached and innovative sign of Aquarius. We can therefore use this New Moon energy to our advantage by thinking outside the box, viewing things in a different light, using our imagination and being creative.
Coupled with this first New Moon in Aquarius is the commencement of the Chinese New Year (being Yin Fire Rooster). The Yin female energies for this 2017 Chinese New Year will help us to tune into our instincts, allowing us to follow our intuition, and in turn assisting us to follow our dreams and hopes and wishes.
With the moon representing our emotions, intuition, feelings and with Cancer being a watery, sensitive, emotional sign, then this first Full Moon in Cancer is sure to provide great opportunities to explore the deep, intuitive side of ourselves, what is truly in our hearts and souls.
Even though this first Full Moon in Cancer will be full of high energy and tension, we can trust our intuition and stay grounded and focused with the Sun in Capricorn..
This particular full moon falls into the sign of Taurus, which will bring about illumination (and being a Supermoon means the moon will appear closer, fuller and brighter than it has in the last 70 years or so).
The full moon in Taurus will bring about a grounding, calming and practical effect especially as the Moon is also exalted in the sign of Taurus.
With the Sun in Scorpio opposite Moon in Taurus our emotional and spiritual energies will also be highlighted. This will also be a good time to bring about closure to those events which were brought to light with our October New Moon (30th October Moon in Scorpio).
As I have mentioned many times we are the creation of a new world and with the coming lunar and solar events over this weekend and coming months, you will feel compelled to move forward into your true knowing. To do this you must fully transmute into releasing out dated beliefs and let go of aspects of self that are only detrimental to your personal power and true self.
The full affects of the Super Moon will indeed challenge yourself as if there are two of you. The old and the new, so if you are feeling that you’re feelings drawn to new ideas or a new way of seeing the world, you are not alone.
If you are resistance to this change in energy, you could feel that resistance materialise on a physical level with aspects of your physical body becoming unwell or stuck as with your voice for self expression, legs for moving forward or head or face with fear to accept.
I know personally how detrimental this energy can be if you over load yourself with giving and not receive for self in balance to all. I have had to totally stop and allow letting go of those I have been serving, for if you don’t allow releasing as a practitioner, you too can become stuck and need to step out for healing of self and those you have served.
This is a very pragmatic energy so you will need to become very in tune with your intuitive and feelings to move through this intense vibration for your highest good of self.
As the Sun represents our Outer Self and the Moon represents our Inner Self, so does the Full Moon allow our Inner Light to shine through. Just as Clear Quartz Crystal works as an amplifier for all other Crystals. The Lunar Light amplifies our Intuition, gives us Insight through our Dreams and Third Eye and inspires us to serve a cause to enhance the movement forward to a New World of Love, Harmony and Self Worth.
With Aries and Libra as the main players in this shift you could feel full of excitement without fear that you can do anything you wish to achieve right now, balanced by the influence of Libra to find a place of harmony and strength.
If like me you have been over giving, you will find this is the perfect time to choose to give to yourself first and priorities the rest for your betterment. Unless you are looking after yourself first, how can you be there for others?
With this amazing energy flowing through in the next three months, you will experience big changes on how you perceive the world and people around you. You will feel the need to reflect on where your life has been and what and where you feel it will need to go next. You will be inclined to start putting yourself first, not in a selfish way but in a growing of self. Actions of Forgiveness and Letting Go will become significant in your path to understanding what has been harmful to your life journey.
You will start listening to your body and attending to its needs inside out and you will seek others as partners rather than relationships. Your time has come to be who you planned to be when you chose to come into this world to establish the foundation of a new beginning that honours and doesn’t control, that all living things are equally loved, respected and of self worth.
This will be the last lunar eclipse for 2016, and with the Moon being in the watery and intuitive sign of Pisces we need to focus on spirituality (as this event will be felt on both a conscious and unconscious level).
This lunar eclipse will bring things to our attention – relationships may be highlighted – but we can use this lunar eclipse as an emotional adjustment, to re-set our emotions.
In fact with the Full Moon in Pisces, the Universe will be offering peaceful, gentle, loving energy – this will in turn encourage us to continue moving forward – and with the assistance of Jupiter in Libra our relationships should be turning towards balance, happiness and harmony.
Mercury retrograde is traditionally associated with communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays and lost items. But interestingly during this particular Mercury Retrograde we have some some beneficial aspects to both loving Venus and lucky Jupiter, which should smooth over the normally difficult and annoying Mercury Retrograde period.
Adding to our already interesting August/September 2016 period we have a solar eclipse on 1st September with Sun, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter all being in the sign of Virgo! This solar eclipse will open new doors for us but we must ensure to take things slowly as Mercury in Retrograde will add to the confusion of how to proceed on our new pathways.
