5/20 the Sun shifted from the solid earth sign of Taurus, into the more whimsical, versatile and communicative sign of the twins, Gemini.

Happy birthday to all of the Gemini souls of the zodiac!

This sign is all about having some fun and collecting and dispersing information while they are at it.

Chatty, witty, and sometimes scattered this sign is quite intellectual and will know facts about many different topics.

They can and will keep you entertained for hours as they are quite funny.

Fun loving, quirky, light hearted and sometimes appearing light headed, this sign moves through life swiftly.

As a  mutable sign they are adaptable, curious and constantly seeking to change things up.  They are usually very ‘go with the flow’ and can change so quickly that they can make your head spin!

Have any Gemini companions?  You know what I mean!

*These traits are not only for Gemini Sun but also the Moon and/or rising or a lot of other Gemini energy in ones chart can appear this way.

As the Sun cruises through this sign we have some heavy-duty energy to contend with.

Shocker, right?!

Some of this astrology feels light and breezy (much like this air sign) where other parts feel quite conflicted and deeply cathartic, introspective.

Here we go…..

Friday 5/22 we experience a speedy New Moon in Gemini.

New Moons occur when the Sun and Moon are conjunct each other, together in the same sign.  The energy of that sign is enhanced, magnified and feels abundant and fruitful.

New Moons are times for new intentions, new beginnings.

This New Moon is making a very supportive trine to planet Saturn, the planet of responsibility.  Gemini promises fun while Saturn promises work.

With this trine, we are emotionally supported.  We feel the glue beneath our feet keeping us planted firmly on the ground while allowing our ideas to take flight.

Some normalcy begins to return to our structures, our environment.

Mercury and Venus will make a nice conjunction the morning of this New Moon, which may bring in an unexpected message that is welcome.  Enjoy it!

Remember though, Venus is retrograde in the fickle sign of the twins until the end of June.

This will have us questioning and reexamining all of our relationships.

Everything related to the planet Venus is up for review in our personal lives.  This is love, money, beauty and self-worth.

For some this can feel like a mini identity crisis, for others there can be a big breakthrough.

*If you would like a deeper look into the theming of the Venus retrograde for you personally, go back to 2012….look at the Venusian areas of life at that time and what was happening….this should give you insight into this Venus cycle.

On a heavier note, Mercury will be squaring Neptune which can feel like a mini Mercury Retrograde.

For a moment in time (perhaps a few days) expect communication to feel less fluid and if you are extra clumsy or scattered, this is why.

Allow yourself some extra time and space….oh and cut yourself some slack, will ya?  We are under heavy energy, let me say it again.

At the same time, Mars is squaring Neptune.

Mars wants to act, Mars wants to blast through barriers and come out the victor.

When the ‘God of War’ planet Mars is in the water sign of Pisces, he gets tripped up, confused and stuck.  It is hard for Mars to swim in the cloudy waters of the fish and he can feel immobilized and directionless.  You may feel this way as well.

This too shall pass.

Pay attention to what your soul, your intuition, is saying to you at this time.

Like I keep saying, be your own guru!

Forget the news, forget what others tell you.

When something resonates with you, you go with it.  When it speaks loudly as a ‘NAH’?  You don’t go with it.

There is a lot of mis-information out there at this time, and Gemini is all about messages, communication, doing our own research.

Be sure to do this now or you can and will be misled!

I will end this with a quote I have always loved (not sure of the original source).

Those that mindlessly follow the herd eventually end up in the slaughterhouse

Happy New Moon everyone!

Set some intentions, reach for the stars.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, all about communication especially written, so use this time to put in all on paper.

A little more below on the energy.

Peace & Love,

Lisa

 

 

 

 

Hola!

How is everyone doing?

The energy is ramping up as May continues.

In some ways we are lightening up yet energetically it can feel uncertain, heavy even.

We are currently under four retrograde planets, three of them switching their position over the span of six days…..that is a lot of planetary activity!

If you have been feeling extra tired, lethargic, edgy, cranky, giddy and/or just all over the damn place..aside from everything else going on in the world?!  Yes it’s these retrogrades.

Pluto,  Saturn, Venus and Jupiter…all retrograde.

When planets station retrograde, they get louder and more active.

We are called to go inward; to retreat, revise and revisit our behaviors and our structures.

Reset, restructure, reemerge once the planets station direct.

Pluto retrograde 4/25-10/4– prepare to take a trip to the underworld!

Visit the basement of your psyche and your soul, don’t sweep away what you find rather, shine a light on it.

Sit with it.

Pluto can and will ultimately strip away what doesn’t work albeit,  slowly.

Saturn retrograde 5/11-9/29– prepare to redefine your personal/professional boundaries.

How do you deal with restrictions placed upon you by yourself, and/or by others?

Where have you been coasting and which areas can you afford to give more attention in your life?

Do not be afraid to do some hard work during this retrograde….it’s time to revisit old patterns and reset the ones that are not working.

Karma gets cleared and sorted and remember: karma is neither good nor bad, it is simply consequence for past actions.

Saturn is the lord of karma, the keeper of time.  He does not let us get away with anything without a consequence.

Venus retrograde 5/13-6/25– prepare to question all of your relationships!  Your relations with others, with your money, and with yourself!

What do you value?

If things are great?  They hey you will breeze through this retrograde.

If things are not great?

This is the time that the ‘Goddess of Love ‘  will speak to your soul…and loudly!

Masculine and feminine, Venus will teach you a thing or two about your self-worth!

Remember: ‘what you allow will continue’. 

This goes for the good, and the not-so- stellar aspects of ourselves and our connections.

Lastly, Jupiter retrograde 5/14-9/13-the expansive guru turns inward.  This to me , is one of the least chaotic of the retrogrades.

Jupiter is expansion, growth, abundance.  He is the feel good planet.

When retrograde, he forces us to do more shadow work surrounding what gives us joy and pleasure.  What we ask of ourselves and of others.

Jupiter retro is all about reflecting upon all that we have learned while he was direct.  He is the GOD of good will and fortune, after all.

Everything we have learned is up for revision.

As Jupiter is the Guru, the spiritualist, this retrograde is all about aligning with our true purpose, at least feeling like we are getting closer to it.

In your own chart, these retrograde planets tell a different and much more detailed/intuitive story than above!

Can you imagine how interesting this gets?

If you would like more info, book an astrology consultation with me here.

More detailed info on these retrogrades below.

Much Love,

Lisa

Happy Solar Return to me and this one I am told is special because I’m forty…wait, I’m FORTY?  How the heck did that happen?

I feel like it was yesterday that I was breakdancing with my siblings on Saturday mornings (the videos are priceless and I can literally pee my pants laughing watching them).

I am not attached to the number and that I am 40.  It didn’t really phase me because to be honest?  I feel better now than I did at 25 emotionally, physically and spiritually and I feel good and strong with who I am.

Notice I said didn’t?

Well, to be real…..it did get to me last week for a few days.  I am chalking it up to the fact that we are in ‘quarantine’ that made me extra aware and emotional about it.  No big deal, I allowed myself to wallow in the pity party.  I  called my bestie, we commiserated , and I got over it pretty fast.

Here’s a few pictures from my in-home celebration.  I was overwhelmed with love from all of the calls, texts and goodies that showed up throughout the day 💜 .

*Shout out to my sis for the TP!  This will be the emergency stash. 😉

Anyway…..cheers to another year!

Here are 40 contemplations/revelations of mine at 40 (in random order)

1). always trust GOD or a higher power.  HE will never fail you

2). your beliefs , your religion ,your education, your spirituality… none of these make you a good person…  it is your heart that does

3) we are all entitled to our own beliefs, and we can agree to disagree

4) resentment and anger are poisonous so do what you can to work through these emotions and release them

5) when someone shows you their true colors, do not try and repaint them

6) being kind costs nothing and it feels good too

7) people can try to duplicate your sauce with the same recipe, but the main ingredient cannot be copied : YOU!

8) you must create boundaries for yourself, it is not selfish but necessary

9) NO is a complete sentence and you do not have to explain yourself

10) always be yourself, originals are way better than a copy

11) your intuition is real, it is your super power and you must trust it

12) when you don’t trust your intuition, your body speaks to you; every physical symptom has an emotional basis

13) smile at people for no reason

14) people can only meet you at their level of perception and readiness, don’t try to force anyone/anything

15) some people will only like/love you based off of what you can do for them…when you tighten up your boundaries, you will find they disappear…let them!

16) trying to change people does not work ,and you will only lose a part of yourself in the process

17) when others treat you poorly it is a reflection of them, not you…do not take it personal (tough one)!

18) verbal abuse is abuse, period

19) your feelings are always valid, always

20) sensitivity is a gift, compassion and empathy are gifts so use them wisely

21) the more open hearted you are, the more your feelings get hurt but thats ok- always be authentic

22) words have power, be mindful of how you speak to others but more importantly how you speak to and of yourself

23) when somebody hurts you, they may act like the victim….let it go, the man upstairs sees everything

24) you cannot heal what you will not feel

25) your soul will constantly remind you when you are unhappy

26) quiet times will reveal truths to you (hello quarantine)

27) tough times reveal true friends

28) nature is amazing and will shift your mood instantly

29) meditation will change your life

30) water will always heal and cleanse you ,whether you are submerged in it or simply listening to the sound

31) wealth is not material, it is soul deep

32) there will be people that won’t like you and they don’t have to- always stay true to yourself

33) you also do not have to like everyone, but you should always remain respectful

34) believe what people show you, not what they tell you….actions really do speak louder than words and if you pay close attention, you will have the answer

35) when you see something or feel something nice about someone don’t feel weird just say it, people need to hear the good

36) no matter how tough things are, storms don’t last forever

37) random acts of kindness do not need public recognition

38) it is ok to live a life that other people question or do not understand : it is none of their damn business

39) being weird is a good thing, normal is boring

40) anyone that makes you laugh is a keeper

and a few more for good luck…. 🍀 (for real I got on a roll )……

• grief has no timetable, regardless of what anyone tells you
• I may not always be right, but I will always be real
• apologize when you are wrong
• people will judge you no matter what you do, they will say you said/did things that might not be true….don’t worry about it just keep living, eventually the truth comes out
• there are plenty of people that love and value you, so do not waste your energy on the ones that don’t, regardless of ‘why’
• just because you are good to people it will not make them good to you
• recognize that sometimes YOU are the problem, and call yourself out on your own bullshit
• there will be people that are bothered/resentful/envious of the way others love and respect you….this is not anything about you!  Be yourself, keep shining 🌟don’t dim your light to make others comfortable
• when you are naturally compassionate, there will be some that want access to your energy all the time….it is not mean to pull away and protect yourself
• give without expectation and you will not be disappointed
• honest communication can move mountains….don’t be afraid to open your heart, and your mouth!
• you were blessed with certain gifts and talents, do not be afraid to use them
• kindness and humbleness are often mistaken for weakness, strongly mistaken
• strength is quiet while insecurity is loud
• Never assume!  It will make an ASS out of U and ME

I am sure I can keep going, but I will leave it here.

Thank you all for your continued love and support, it truly means the world to me.

Cheers to another trip around the 🌞 🌚 ✨

Much Love,

Lisa

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All aboard the crazy train…toot toot!   Seriously the energy is wild right now,  so buckle up!

We are under some intense times so cut yourself some slack.  Hold space for what and who you can, and gracefully let go of everything you need to at the moment.

Full Moons are all about release.

A Full Moon happens when the Sun is opposite the Moon.

This highlights the polarities (opposing forces) in our lives.

These polarities are of an emotional, physical and spiritual nature.  It can be one area or all three, and each Full Moon will feel different based on the sign and planetary aspects surrounding the Moon.

Awareness and emotion reach their peak and are heightened around Full Moons.  This is why we feel more edgy and anxious around these times, sometimes not even being able to sleep.

The Moon rules our subconscious, the raw emotions that lurk underneath the surface.

Everything comes to a head under this energy.  There is a tug of war between head and heart.

The Sun is in Taurus (earth) while the Moon is in the opposite sign of Scorpio (water).

We vacillate between feeling grounded and highly emotional.  We feel strong, yet ultra sensitive to everything and everyone around us.

With this particular moon, magic can be found but we must dig deep. We must lean into the strong emotions that will likely come up at this time.

Full Moons are a natural time of heightened awareness and intuition, even downright psychic visions.  This one is even more so, pay attention to what your gut is telling you, listen to your body!

Keep in mind that we are currently under the spell of a Venus/Neptune square, and this is a big deal for our relationships, for what people say versus what they do.  * I go much more into this in the video.

Do not be led astray and stand in your truth as it is quite easy to be tricked under this energy.

This also goes for (and may be most pertinent) when it comes to ‘worldy’ issues!

Relationships are tested.

Some bend, while others break.  Remember…..it is easy to get duped into seeing things for the way we ‘wish’ them to be , versus how they actually are so make sure you are doing your homework on what is fact.  What is fiction.

It is ok to be confused, this is where you step back, you observe.

Be your own guru, listen to your heart .

This is so so important right now as you can also be made to feel ‘cuckoo’ by others.  

Much more on this energy below, and Happy Full Moon!

Much Love,

Lisa

 

 

 

‘Rabbit Rabbit’, it’s the first of the month!

Happy May everyone.

I pray that this month may bring us brighter days, hope, love, clarity and abundance.

It has been rough these past few months for sure, for everyone and in different ways.

I have been digging deep to stay positive, to stay uplifted.  Definitely challenging at times, no doubt about it.

The one thing that has been keeping me going is going outside, especially on the nicer days.

April showers bring May flowers.

Some beautiful, colorful flowers at that.

The pic above was taken a few days ago-I was out for a quick run and I had to take a pic of these pretty tulips.

Below you will find a quick, intuitive message/advice for each sign.

As always, thank you for your love and support and may the month of may bring you blessings ❤️.

Peace & Love,

Lisa
