Neptune in Pisces 2012 - what it means for you

 Neptune's move from Aquarius into Pisces on February 3rd, 2012 is a big one. Neptune only moves into a new sign every 14 years. How exciting for us all! This will be felt in two ways, in the house Neptune is leaving in your chart and in the one he is moving in to. I'll discuss both here so you can see how you will be affected. Also, think back to April - August 2011 Neptune stayed for a short visit in Pisces which gave us all a little taste of things to come.

First let me introduce you to Neptune. Neptune  is the God of the sea and rules Pisces so will be comfy back in his own sign. Wherever Neptune goes he carries with him a big pair of rose tinted glasses and is the planet of idealism, imagination, dreams, inspiration, creativity & spirituality but also delusion, confusion, the intangible and a lack of stability and boundaries. Like I said Neptune is the God of the sea so he carries with him water like qualities, forever changing, hard to pin down, and goes to a depth that no one has yet discovered. Neptune's purpose is to dissolve the old to make way for the new.

I don't feel like I am giving Neptune enough explanation here, enough justice, for what a beautiful impact he has on the world. Neptune is hard to encapsulate, difficult to sum up. Funny that! I'll give it one last shot and then leave the rest to your imagination.

Neptune in Pisces will increase compassion, interconnectedness, empathy, and spiritual understanding. Creativity and creative arts, especially music and alternative arts will become more pronounced and valued. Ideas of imagination and vision will be abundant.
 
Look at the house where Neptune was in for you previously, (simply the house before the one he is in for you now) as you will acutely feel a difference here once Neptune moves out. 

Also, think back to 1998 when Neptune first moved into Aquarius, remember any significant changes re the house he moved in to? I certainly do! In 1998 my life changed quiet dramatically. I packed up and left a place I had lived in for 10 years and left my friends and family to go and pursue my long held dream of becoming an actress. I made this move by myself, without knowing what would happen, or knowing anyone where I was moving to! Some would say courageous, some would say naive. Some would say both! Not surprising though with Neptune in Aquarius (Shocking, visionary ) in my 4th house (home) not to mention I have an Aquarius rising. 

 
Here's the area of your chart Neptune in Pisces will directly effect:

  • Aries - 12th House: Endings and Soul Growth.  Keywords: hidden enemies, fears, self-undoing, the collective unconscious, spirituality, unredeemed karma, selfless service to humanity, hidden strengths and weaknesses
  • Taurus - 11th House: Relationships with friends and Groups. Keywords: Alliances, hopes, dreams and wishes, employer's money, employer's finances, spheres of influence, memberships, social acquaintances, collaborations.
  •  Gemini - 10th House: Career. Keywords: Long range goals and life direction, ambition, material success, business life, career, occupation, status, public life and your standing in it, fame, contribution. 
  • Cancer - 9th House: Travel, Learning and Adventure. Keywords: Beliefs, morals, personal truths, adventure, journeys (literal and of the mind), exploration, religion, personal philosophy, higher education, long-distance travel, foreign countries,cultures and languages, publishing, commerce.
  •  Leo - 8th House: Shared Money Sector. Keywords: Support you receive from other people, wealth of partner or spouse, other people's money, spirituality, sex, transformation, Inheritance, divorce/alimony, taxes.
  •  Virgo - 7th House: Relationships. Keywords: Partnerships (one on one business or personal), marriages or divorces, long-term associations, agreements/legal contracts, open enemies, competitors.
  • Libra - 6th House: Work, Health and Daily Routines. Keywords: Every day life, daily health, attitudes about food, your working environment (day job, which may not be your career), your habits,self improvement, skills, pets, hygiene and sanitation.
  • Scorpio - 5th House: Creativity, Children, Romance and Self Expression. Keywords: Creativity, love affairs, artistic projects/pursuits, creative self expression, hobbies, entertainment, self fulfillment, pleasures, drama.
  • Sagittarius - 4th House: Home and Family. Keywords: Property, residence, your private life, sense of security, domestic life, roots/family origin, psychological foundations, Mother or more maternal parent
  • Capricorn - 3rd House: Communication. Keywords: The lower mind, communication,thoughts, how you think and communicate,speaking, language skills, how you interact in your immediate environment; with your siblings and your neighbours, short journeys, writing, media and communications

  • Pisces - 1st House: Self. Keywords: The image you project to others, manner of expression, first impressions, your physical appearance, how you initiate things, defense mechanisms, the 'mask' you wear, relationship with existing environment, over all outlook on life 

If you haven't already I highly recommend viewing your Feb monthly horoscope and/or 2012 yearly forecasts in the blog archive as this will give you even more information about how Neptune will affect you.

Finally I want to tell you about a book I love,The Secret Language of Destiny . I have had this book for at least 10 years and I continue to go back to it time and time again to see how I am progressing along my path. Everyone I show loves this book and says how accurate it is. I hope it can help you like it has helped me x

MARS RETROGRADE and what it means for you

Mars retrogrades every 2 years and yup it's that time again. Oh how time fly's! Mars entered Virgo on November 10th and will be retrograde from January 23 - April 14. So what does that mean for us mere mortals?

First let me introduce you to Mars officially. If this was a planet dating service I would describe Mars as determined, impatient, a 'mover and a shaker', driven and confident. What a catch! Mars is also the planet of sex and war. Whit wheel! Seriously though, when Mars visits an area of your chart, it boosts confidence and gives you the drive to move things forward. Mars is the ruler of Aries and the co-ruler of Scorpio. These two signs will be most affected by the Mars retrograde.

Sometimes retrogrades get a bad rap because there can be an element of delay but keep in mind that slowing down can be a good thing. After all we aren't always aware of the bigger picture so sometimes it's best to trust that everything is in perfect order. Before I let you know how Mars retro will affect your sign specifically keep the following in mind.

Some ways in which you can best utilize the Mars retro energy or how it might manifest itself.

  • Re-connect, Re -discover
  • Re-view, Re-think, Re-vamp
  • Re-do, Re-enforce
  • Memories of the past/how the past is affecting you now
  • "Delays"
  • Taking care of details
  • Slowing down - more inward, introspective energy
  • Don't initiate new things - chill
  • You might look at how you manage anger, self-motivation and other Mars qualities 
  • You could even review your health as Mars is in Virgo


Basically put a 're' at the start of any word  and you're on the right track ;) So as you can see not so scary, right? 

Here's the area of your chart Mars will directly effect:

  • Aries - 6th House: Work and Daily Routines. Keywords: Every day life, daily health, your working environment (day job, which may not be your career), your habits, skills, pets, hygiene and sanitation.
  • Taurus - 5th House: Creativity and Children. Keywords: Creativity, love affairs, artistic projects/pursuits, creative self expression, hobbies, self fulfillment, pleasures.
  • Gemini - 4th House: Home and Family. Keywords: Property, residence, your private life, domestic life, roots/family origin.
  • Cancer - 10th House: Career. Keywords: Long range goals and life direction, ambition, business life, career, occupation, status, public life and your standing in it, fame.
  • Leo - 2nd House: Money. Keywords: Your own resources, money that you earn, what you value and desire (be it money or personal self esteem), your priorities.
  • Virgo - It's in your sign so for you it's about how you use your energy, looking at your personal goals, exploring your true motivations, your interactions, what do your really want?, what are your authentic desires?
  • Libra - 7th House: Relationships. Keywords: Partnerships (one on one business or personal), marriages or divorces, long-term associations, agreements/legal contracts, open enemies.
  • Scorpio - 11th House: Relationships with friends and Groups. Keywords: Alliances, hopes, dreams and wishes, money from employer, finances of employer, spheres of influence, memberships, social acquaintances.
  • Sagittarius - 10th House: Career. Keywords: Long range goals and life direction, ambition, business life, career, occupation, status, public life and your standing in it, fame. 
  • Capricorn - 4th House: Home and Family. Keywords: Property, residence, your private life, domestic life,  your father, roots/family of origin. 
  • Aquarius - 8th House: Shared Money Sector. Keywords: Support you receive from other people, wealth of partner or spouse, other people's money, spirituality, sex, transformation, Inheritance, taxes.
  • Pisces - 7th House: Relationships. Keywords: Partnerships (one on one business or personal), marriages or divorce, long-term associations, agreements/legal contracts, open enemies.

Example: I'm a Scorpio so for me having Mars retro in my 11th house of friends and groups could mean that I review the groups that I belong to. Do they still fit with who I am today? Do they still serve my purpose? The same with friends (watch out friends ha ha). Issues of how I assert myself amongst these groups could also come up for review. Maybe someone from the past will come back into my life or I'll spend some time catching up with friends/groups I haven't seen in a while. You get the picture. 

The thing is, you wont need to try to focus on the area where Mars retro is affecting you, (you can of course) your attention will be drawn to those areas through events or inner promptings but at least now you know that it serves a higher purpose. Yay! 

Now you have the information you need to equip yourself for the next couple of months. So if things seem slower or delayed in those areas or you wonder why your attention is being pulled in that direction to review things, now you know. Be patient and kind to yourself and use this energy wisely so that once Mars goes direct again you can move forward with a renewed sense of what you want from that area of your life and a better more streamlined version of yourself. Let me know how you go! 

If you live in Australia and would like something to support you through the Mars retrograde I highly recommend an Australian Bush Flower Essence. There is one to suit everyone's needs.

New Moon in Aquarius

I'm excited to be writing my first post today as there is so much going on! There is a new Moon in Aquarius, Mars is going retrograde in Virgo and it's Chinese New Year (Year of the Dragon)!

For this post I'll write about the new Moon (check out Mars retro in the next post).

Today's new Moon is in Aquarius. New Moons are a great time to start something new (as the name suggests) or launch something. 

It's also a wonderful time to set your intentions or wishes for the month. Make a list of 5 or 10 intentions/wishes and go about putting them into action with the support of the new Moon behind you. Then check in at the full Moon (when things come to fruition) and review and see where you are at.

As mentioned, today's new Moon is in Aquarius. Aquarius is an innovative and inventive sign so you can tap into this energy, 'plant' some seeds for success, and let it take you where you need to go.

Ways you can benefit from the new Moon in Aquarius

  • Shake things up by getting out of your comfort zone
  • Release outdated habits
  • Be authentic and loyal to your truth
  • Do something humanitarian 
  • Think outside the box and experiment! 
  • Act on that idea you've been thinking about
  • Make your wishes and intentions innovative
  • Make profound shifts 

The new Moon energy can last for a week or so but is strongest at the time of the new Moon and loses potency as time goes on so there's no time like the present!

In Australia the new moon is 5:39pm EST.
In the US 11:39pm PT. 2:39am EST.
In the UK 7:39am GMT

Here's a great quote to sum up this new Moon.

"Become loyal to your innermost truth. Follow the way when all others abandon it. Walk the path of your own heart." - Anon
I'd love to hear about your new Moon experiences, or why not do something out of your comfort zone and share your new Moon intentions here. Go for it! :)
