Taurus season is here!  From 4/20-5/20, the Sun will be in the sign of the Bull, Taurus.

I may be a bit biased since I am a Taurus 😉 but I love Taurus season.

The weather gets nicer, the Sun seems brighter, and the vibe feels a little more ‘chill’ as we come off the heels of the fire of the previous sign, Aries.

Taurus is a very grounded sign as it falls under the element of Earth.

This is also a Fixed sign meaning immovable, slow to change.  Many a Taurus are quite stubborn (ahem).

Under the tough exterior of every Bull- typically there lies a very sweet and gentle soul.

Really, this is one of the most generous and loyal signs of the zodiac.  However, if you betray a Taurus, watch out!  They will forgive but they will never forget.  That Bull can charge quite easily when provoked!

The energy of Taurus season is all about staying grounded and getting things done.

Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus- the Goddess of love and money.  This is the season where we indulge in all of our senses.  Where we feel and speak all things beautiful.  Sensuality and sweetness rule Taurus season.

Taurus also rules the second (2nd) house in Astrology- the house of our resources, our money and values, work habits.

These are the areas that will really be under scrutiny for everyone at this time as we get more serious about our financial status, and furthermore, our goals.  Be careful not to spend too much on nice things!  

Every Bull likes creature comforts and the finer things in life.  Just watch the tendency to get carried away! 

Body parts that Taurus rules are the neck, throat and jaw.  

Taurus time is a time to speak your truth, use your voice, stay grounded and move forward with a plan!  Doesn’t sound so bad, does it?

In the Tarot, Taurus rules the Major Arcana Card, Number Five (5)- The Hierophant.

This is the card of spirituality, the soul.  The card of the counselor.

Think of all the Taurus people you know- I am sure you would go to them for advice, right?  That is this card!  The Hierophant, and Taurus, will usually provide a safe space for you to vent and explore your deepest feelings, your inner-workings.

Explore your feelings under this energy, as it leads to true enlightenment.  Speak to those you trust, they will help lead the way.

Under Taurus season we tend to run on one of two speeds, much like every Taurus.  Either we are relaxed, deliberate and chill or we are hyper, charged and ready to go full-speed ahead.  Whichever way it is, it’s all good.

Everything happens in due time!  Be sure to cover all of  your bases and all will be well.  Create your vision, set goals, roll up your sleeves and start working and the rewards will come.

Oh, and Happy Birthday to all my fellow Bulls out there!

Happy Sunday and Happy New Moon!

We have an action packed new Moon in the sign of the Ram, Aries.  This New Moon occurs at 9:57 PM EST tonight- Sunday 4/15.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac wheel signifying a new cosmic year, a new beginning, a fresh start.

The theme for this particular New Moon is ‘Moving Forward’.

This New Moon also carries with it a close connection to the sign of Pisces, as it is 28 degrees of Aries.

There is a strong air of spirituality at this time, of intuition.

Whispers of the soul are becoming loud and clear.  We are getting ready to take action, to move forth with confidence and conviction.

Even if it takes a little more time, we are getting ready.

Aries falls under the element of Fire which is all about action, passion.  Aries is also a cardinal sign meaning they initiate, they are bold.

This New Moon also coincides with Mercury Retrograde finally turning direct on the same day.  Woop Woop!  Talk about a relief.  We may all start to feel a wee-bit less anxious as the planets chill out a little over the next two weeks. 

New Moons represent new beginnings.

Technically speaking, the New Moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, the movement of the moon through its different phases.

The Sun aligns with the Moon in the sky when it’s a New Moon.

Both the Sun and the Moon are in Aries for this Lunation- extra powerful, extra active.

It is a time when creativity peaks, and we desire to manifest the new .

The theme right now is introspection, tapping into and trusting your inner guidance, and making plans to take a leap of faith. 

Let’s talk about Mercury Retrograde for a sec. 

Today Mercury also stations direct -meaning, begins to move in the appropriate direction helping to bring in some much needed clarity.  Phew.  I don’t know about you but this past retrograde was a rough one and I, for one, am very grateful it is outta here!

With Mercury direct at the same time as the New Moon, we are ready to enter into a new cycle of creativity, a new phase, a fresh perspective.

Pay attention to the people that are in your life right now.  The ones that come and go, really pay attention to how you feel around these people.

It is time to trust yourself and even more so, it is time to be true to yourself.  Stand up for yourself where necessary.

Protecting your energy is extremely important at this time, and we often do not realize just how much energy we give away.  Ask yourself if you are giving your energy where it counts the most- to your own soul.  

The most impactful planet to this New Moon is Uranus, the planet of freedom, change and liberation.

This is very optimistic as it allows us the freedom to break away from the constraints of the old, and to really tap into the new with a sense of hope for the future.

Just like the ‘Fool’ in the Tarot, Uranus wants a fresh start.  It is numero ‘0’ after all!

Expect the unexpected right now.  Something might just come to push you forward , and that just may be what is needed.  This is the energy of this New Moon.

Remember what is most important is that Uranus will always leave you better than you are found, and you will always land on your feet.  Don’t be afraid to take some chances.  This time it is supported.

If you really take the time to stop and check in with your soul, you will find the answers that you are seeking.  Clarity will come.

Do not worry about what everyone else is saying , doing.  Do not worry what others will think.

It is so easy to get caught up in that trap but in reality – who really cares?

We are only awarded a short time in this lifetime, so you may as well be true to yourself and make it count.  This is not always easy but it is so freeing.

Be real with yourself, be real with others.  This is where true freedom begins.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes that I have saved on my desktop by Steve Jobs.

Make sure to make some time and create some space for quiet reflection.

Look at all you wish to accomplish and make a plan for yourself.  New Moons are all about planting seeds and manifesting. This is a very nice New Moon which is supporting us all at the moment so take advantage!

Love & Light,

This month (tomorrow) has us seeing a rare, second Full Blue Moon!

Yes, that’s right.  Saturday 3/31 as of 8:37 AM EST, we have a Full Blue Moon in the sign of the diplomat-Libra.

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.

Blue Moons are just a fancy way of referring to the fact that it is quite rare to have two Full Moons in the same month.  Hence, the term ‘Once In A Blue Moon’.

Astrologically speaking, the fact that this is a Blue Moon does not really heighten or lessen the magnitude of the energy.  This Full Moon is energetically charged enough!

This Full Moon emphasizes the opposing energy of the Sun which is in Aries, and the Moon which is in Libra.  

Aries is under the element of fire and represents action, drive and force.  Aries is about the self above all else.

Libra is under the element of air and represents fairness, balance and equality.  Libra is about the others first, self second.

Under the duality of this energy we struggle, best believe it .  We struggle with what is right for us, versus what is right for others.

March has been a wild ride with peaks and valleys, highs and lows emotionally.  Energy levels have crashed and burned.  We feel like human sling-shots going from one thing to the next, sometimes on autopilot.

The sky has been doing the tango this month, that’s for sure – and one thing is for certain:  ‘As above so below’.  We all feel this , make no mistake.  The more sensitive you are to energy, all the more this will resonate with you.

If you are a Libra or other Air sign (Gemini, Aquarius) or your rising sign and/or Moon fall in any of these signs, you will feel this even more.

This Full Moon falls under the Air Sign of Libra- the sign of peace, harmony and balance.

Libra asks us to strike a balance.  Libra seeks justice.

The issue around us at this time is that we are not feeling balanced within ourselves!  Our inner-critics are talking to us loudly, pointing out to us all of our perceived flaws, where we feel we are lacking.

Keep in mind that this is a time where we are our own worst enemy. 

We are very self-conscious as we try to navigate these polarizing energies.

This Blue Full Moon is Blue, that is for sure.

There are several planetary aspects contributing to this overwhelming energy.  Most of them are challenging.

One of the major Astrological players right now is Mercury, the planet that rules all communication and technology, is retrograde (backwards), and is making an opposition (frictional aspect) to this Moon in Libra.

Ouch. 

What we really feel, versus what and how we communicate our thoughts and feelings, are at odds and quite muddled up.

We ourselves may not even know how we are truly feeling, so trying to let others in on how we feel is well, super challenging.

The potential for arguments is high right now, so ‘mums the word’ might just be the motto to live by over these next few days!

Mars (planet of action, drive and force) is conjunct Saturn (planet of responsibility, limitations, and our challenging lessons).

This makes for the feeling of restlessness, edginess and impatience.  Due to these feelings, you may be tempted to act hastily but try not to or you may just end up making a huge mistake.  Heed to the caution of Saturn right now and slow down and think things through.

Saturn is the Daddy of the zodiac, and for good reason.  He asks you to take precaution and responsibility and this is a very wise idea under this Full Moon.

Moon (emotion) and Mercury (communication) are both making a square (challenging aspect) to Mars (action).

This is all about anger coming up to the surface.  Anger from deep within.  Anger that may even surprise you to know that it is there.  Have a constructive outlet right now or harsh words and fights are quite possible.

You don’t want to say or do anything that you will regret later, and remember what we said about Mercury being retrograde above.  Communication is already spotty!  The potential is high to fly off the handle.  This is a red-hot button aspect so take care!

Moon and Mercury are also both making a square to Saturn- the teacher.

These aspects make it difficult to connect to others in a meaningful way.  It is quite possible to have feelings of extreme loneliness, sadness, shame, blame and guilt come out to play with you at this time.

Ride the wave and keep in mind that ‘this too shall pass’.  Acknowledge these feelings, but don’t sit and wallow in them.

You may want to communicate your feelings, but any attempt and you may just fall short of the mark, having some ‘foot in your mouth’ moments.  Might just be advisable to keep the pity party to ‘party of one’.  Unless of course, you are talking things out with a counselor, which I highly suggest.

On the positive side- we have a ray of Sunshine behind the Moonlight.  Jupiter (prosperity, growth, abundance) is making a supportive aspect to Pluto (transformation, resources and rebirth). 

It will stay like this until the end of April, giving us all a little boost towards positive change.  

If you are doing your soul work, if you are allowing things to flow and you are not forcing, than the potential for growth through unexpected change is high.  

Remember Jupiter wants to support us while Pluto wants to transform us.  Together, these two can move mountains for us, if we let them.

Take good care of your inner world, your thoughts and your actions at this time as the potential is there to be feeling lonely, and ‘blue’ literally!  Perhaps spending time in quiet reflection is the best bet.  Get out into nature, exercise, meditate.

This Full Moon is definitely a heavy one, but not anything you cannot handle, especially if you heed the above advice.

Love & Light to all,

Lisa

 

Have you been feeling all of this slow, intense and extremely sensitive energy as of late?  Chalk it up to the fact that we are and have been under, a lot of Pisces (Water) energy.

If you have a lot of Piscean energy meaning-  you are a Pisces, your Moon is in Pisces or you are a Pisces Rising, you will really be feeling this energy.  

My Moon is in Pisces and I have to say, I have been extra emotional and edgy these last few weeks!

On the positive side Pisces is considered one of the most intuitive signs of the zodiac, the sign of the mystic- and as such you may be feeling an increase in that area…the area of the subconscious.

The month of March has us seeing two Full Moons,  (one back on 3/1 and the next one on 3/31) so the energy of build-up and release has had and will have, increasing momentum.

This New Moon is all about the love in our hearts.  Getting back to our center and taking a moment to realign.

Let’s look at this New Moon on Saturday 3/17 as a gift in between the intensity of what we are letting go of, all of our outdated conditioning.

A gift to really go within and do some soul-diving. 

After all, Pisces is a Water sign ruled by planet Neptune a.k.a.-‘The Lord of The Sea’.

This requires us to go underneath, to get to the bottom of what’s really bothering us, what really is holding us back.

You may find that all that is holding you back right now is yourself.

The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions. This is how we all feel.

We want something but we are at odds on how to get it.  We want to go somewhere, but can’t seem to get our s%^& together to get there.  We feel slower than normal, our mojo is low.

This is Pisces, this is the energy surrounding this New Moon.

Despite the lack of active energy, the exhaustion that we are all experiencing, there are still plans that need to get going.  There is more work to be done.

This New Moon is a mixed bag of emotions due to the planetary aspects surrounding it. 

On one hand, there is a lot of love and harmonizing feelings present.  On the other hand, we are being asked to go deep and feel in order to get to those harmonizing emotions and this is not easy, nor pleasant.

Asteroid Chiron a.k.a.- “The Wounded Healer” is hanging out together with this New Moon (conjunct).

Chiron shines a light onto the darkest corners of our soul.  The area(s) where we suppress the inner child that may be in need of some healing.

You may find that old wounds are resurfacing, circumstances you may have long since ‘forgotten’ about are coming back up to remind you.  There is a purpose to this- these memories.  It is not to hurt you.  It’s time for profound acknowledgement and healing to take place.

Cry, scream, let it all out- this is what Chiron and this New Moon, may very well have you doing-and that’s perfectly ok, in fact it’s encouraged under this energy.

This New Moon in sensitive Pisces is making a square aspect (tension), to planet Mars which is action, passion and force. 

Our impulses are sparked, we want to act but the Pisces energy is slow on the uptake, passive.

This causes a bit of friction within and outside of us.

Be careful of brash communication with others and try and resist the urge to be a know-it -all during a potential conflict.

You may have to fight for what you have, for what you believe in with some authority figures under this New Moon energy.

Stand your ground and take the high road where and if you need to.

Stay in your light.  You know the truth in your soul and nobody can take that away from you.

Above all else stay close to those that love you, those that fill your heart and soul with joy.  Keep positive and have faith in all of your wishes and your dreams.  There is no telling what can happen and you are the co-creator of your destiny, remember that.

Pisces is the sign of the artist, the visionary.  Imagine that this New Moon is a blank canvas and you are holding the paint brush.

What do you desire?  Draw it, write it, speak it, feel it into existence.

Anything is possible, anything. 

Say a New Moon prayer, set your intentions.

Just be sure that when you set your intentions  you do so from a clear, calm and centered space.  Remember this:  the universe in all its glory will always mirror back to you, and send you circumstances which reflect your current vibration.

Happy New Moon!

Nutrition Response Testing, or ‘NRT’ as it is often referred to, is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body in order to determine the underlying causes of ill health.  When these are corrected through safe, natural, nutritional means, the body can repair itself in order to attain and maintain more optimum health.

NRT is a muscle testing technique that gives insight into areas of the body that need more attention.  It can show if you have been exposed to mercury, lead and other toxins.  NRT can shed light onto food sensitivities and allergies, and so many other things!
