Full moon lunar eclipse. Five of Pentacles. Turning the corner!

Five of Pentacles is the card representing the moon in the 10/28/23 full moon eclipse in Taurus

This week: Full moon lunar eclipse: Five of pentacles. Turning the corner!

On Saturday, we will be experiencing a full moon lunar eclipse in the sign of earthy Taurus. This ends the intense Taurus-Scorpio eclipse cycle which has been active since November 2021. Below are the dates of the eclipses that occurred while the nodes were in Taurus & Scorpio.

November 19th, 2021 – North Node Lunar Eclipse at 27° Taurus

April 30th, 2022 – North Node Solar Eclipse at 10° Taurus

May 15th, 2022 – South Node Lunar Eclipse at 25° Scorpio

October 25th, 2022 – South Node Lunar Eclipse at 2° Scorpio

May 5th, 2023 – South Node Lunar Eclipse at 14° Scorpio

October 28th, 2023 – North Node Lunar Eclipse at 5° Taurus

Eclipses are powerful agents of change. Its a good idea to pay attention to what is happening in your life around the time of eclipses. Because most likely, the events that transpire will have a significant effect on your life in some way. The 10/28/23 full moon eclipse closes the chapter of this 2021-2023 nodal eclipse cycle. Take a deep breath and turn the page.

This moon occurs on the north node axis. Also known as the “dragon’s head” in astrology, the north node direction indicates forward momentum. The theme for Taurus is “I have”. This transit highlights the material aspects in our lives that make us feel fulfilled, safe and secure.

Our possessions, home, health, money, relationships as well as themes of self-worth, are all things that fall under the Taurus influence.

The last leg of a difficult journey….

Timely endings are poised to unfold with this transit. The dragon’s “tail” is in the sign of Scorpio, the sign of transformation & rebirth. Scorpio is represented by the Death card in the tarot. Which reminds us that endings lead to new beginnings. This final nodal eclipse will help us break free of paradigms that we have outgrown.

The Five of Pentacles is the tarot card that represents the moon in this transit.

What does the image in this card signify to you? For sure its image brings up our worst fears: Loneliness, challenges in finances, health, relationships. But there is another aspect to this card. Look at the lighted window behind them.

This couple literally has just a few more steps before “turning the corner”. Webster’s definition of this term is “to get past the most difficult area or period of something and begin to improve”.

This final eclipse in the Taurus-Scorpio nodal cycle, marks the conclusion to an old storyline. The North node is in Aries in this transit, giving us the courage and drive to implement positive, practical changes that are in alignment with who we are now, at the completion of this two year journey.

What good things await for you behind the door that is just “around the corner”?

The energetic window of time for this eclipse can be up to six months.

Have a great week everyone!

New Moon in Aries, Spring Equinox & Pluto changes signs!

The Aries new moon is coinciding with the Spring Equinox, super charging the energies of renewal & courage.

This fiery, independent new moon reminds us to reflect on how far we have come and to tap into our sovereignty as we begin nature’s new year. The Spring Equinox brings with it an influx of vitality that lights the spark for creative ideas and motivates us to initiate new projects.

Be aware, that on Tuesday, the Aries new moon is squaring Mars. This could result in conflicts or disagreements that can quickly escalate. Resist the urge to give in to impulsive words or actions! Rather, understand that this could be a truth being revealed. Take a deep breath and a step back. Ground your energy so you can see this through fresh eyes. A conflict resolution and/or a new path forward will be shown to you.

Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd for about three months before it goes back into Capricorn. Pluto’s activity this week, is enhancing the theme of changes & growth. In your personal chart, knowing what house transiting Pluto is in, will offer insight on what area of your life is being affected by this planet of hidden truths & transformation. If you would like to schedule a reading on this, let me know.

All in all, this is an exciting week! There is a lot of energy for us to process for sure. But we can tap into it and use it wisely to initiate a clear plan of action. Ideally, as this new moon is the beginning of a waxing (increasing) moon cycle, try to set at least a few goals this week, that can be achieved before the full moon on April 5th.

Below are helpful correspondences for the sign of Aries:

Aries Keywords: Confidence, goal-setting, health, new beginnings, action, independence, passion, courage, drive, assertiveness, dynamic, decisive, risk-taker.

Element: Fire
Gender Archetype: Masculine
Colors: Red, orange, yellow, white
Ruling Planet: Mars

Crystal Suggestions: Carnelian, citrine, red jasper, hematite, tiger’s eye, amethyst, garnet, green aventurine, pyrite, bloodstone.

Have a great week!

Virgo Full Moon & Saturn moves into Pisces: A moment of clarity.

Nine of Cups & Nine of Pentacles from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

This week we have the full moon in the sign of Virgo and Saturn changing signs into Pisces! Don’t be surprised if some changes come about in your life! Reconciliations, breakups, new relationships, as well as making the decision to change jobs, move, start a new health regime, start a new endeavor, or end one. Anything is possible!

The sun in Pisces (nine of cups) and the moon in Virgo (nine of pentacles) has us reassessing important areas of our life wherein we have known for a while that a change is needed. Emotional fulfilment, one’s spiritual path, self-worth and independence may be a few themes that come to light. You may have an eye-opening epiphany or a truth that comes out, that literally stops you in your tracks. As you decide on whether or not if this road is still the one that you want to be on. Whether it is or is not, this transit serves as a reality check that gives you the motivation to do what is best for you.

This particular transit, has an air of endings, the future and maturity. It’s asking us to take stock of where we’ve been and where we are going from here. Its almost the spring season. Time once again to cultivate our gardens. This week, the universe is asking us to evaluate the quality of the soil with fresh eyes. Do you plant your seeds again here? In the same spot as last year? Or is it time to cultivate some new soil?

Have a great week everyone!

Weekly tarot message 2/27/23: Making progress, getting it done.

Knight of Pentacles, The Emperor & Queen of Swords from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

Weekly tarot message 2/27/23:

Making progress, getting it done.

Knight of Pentacles has his eye on the prize and urges his faithful steed forward each day as he keeps his future goal ever present in his mind’s eye. As an earth element card, the Knight of Pentacles moves the slowest, as it represents the physical realm. Progress here takes time and action on your part. What steps do you need to take this week to make progress on a project or goal? You may have gone off track. Is it time for a realignment?

The Emperor is smack dab in the middle of this reading! He represents the sign of Aries. Controlled, masculine fire. This is my discipline and strategy card. Adding structure to your daily routine would be helpful. Cut out distractions and be aware of “time bandits” that sap your focus and energy. Be firm and stick to it when setting personal boundaries. Next month, the sun moves into Aries on the 21st. This could be a time marker for some of you. Take care of those small details now before the spring season kicks in!

The Queen of Swords as the final card is not one to be trifled with! She does not have time for excuses! She’s my “self-made” Queen. Smart and to the point, she holds us accountable for our own thoughts and actions. She made it and so can you! Be prepared for some tough love. See the truth for what it is and own up to your responsibilities. It may be time for a conversation. Then you will know exactly where you stand and what needs to be done. Both the Emperor and The Queen of Swords can also indicate that consulting with a professional advisor, a successful older person or mentor may be helpful.

Have a great week!

Leo full moon 2/5/23. Solar plexus activation. Tarot card: Six of Wands

The Six of Wands from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

First, let’s talk a little bit about the symbolism of this transit. The numerology is interesting. It occurs on the 5th day of the month. As well when one adds up the entire date 2+5+2+0+2+3 = 14. It also breaks down to the number 5. The sign of Leo rules the 5th house on the zodiac wheel. The fifth house relates to joy, children, self-expression, confidence, drama, romance and overall good times. It’s planetary ruler is the sun. Its archetype is the majestic lion.

All I’m going to say here is, get ready! The lion does NOT sleep tonight!

This energetic Leo full moon is activating our solar plexus chakra big time to give us an extra boost to reframe areas of our life that are overdue for a reboot. The corresponding tarot card is the six of wands. In this card, we see someone in the spotlight. This person is a winner and is ready to take on the next challenge. It can denote achieving a goal, overcoming obstacles, as well as future success. There is also an element of respect in this card. As full moons often shed light on shadow areas in our life, you may find that this transit highlights situations and people that may not be or no longer be suitable for your highest good.

Are you respected and “seen” at work, in your relationships, friendships, etc.? Do you surround yourself with people and places that support your well-being? Do your friends and family cheer for you when you win? Or not so much? Where in your life do you feel confident, happy, sexy. And in what areas of your life do you feel overlooked, disrespected, closed-off or in general is not moving in the direction that you want it to?

After the full moon, it will enter its waning phase. Banishing, clearing, cleansing, de-clutter are some keywords for the waning moon. Often, we yearn for change, but our lives are so busy and cluttered, that we don’t have room for anything else to come in. I would also recommend an aura clearing bath, as well as energetically cleansing one’s personal space to “clear out” stagnant energies that may be lingering. If you would like advice on how to do this that is personalized for your situation, contact me.

When it comes to Leo, it’s all about heart. It has been recently scientifically proven that the heart has it’s own “consciousness”. Pay attention to what your heart and body is telling you. Stress and painful emotions often manifest as sensations in the chest area. The heart doesn’t lie. Be kind but honest with yourself. What needs to go or what do you need to limit your exposure to, in order for you to be happier and healthier? The Leo Moon is not complicated. It really is as simple as that.

Leo, as I mentioned above, also corresponds to children. And a Leo moon further amplifies this energy. Spending time with young ones has a way of bringing out our silly side. We laugh and play alongside them. Honestly, is there anything more joyful than a child’s smile? Spend time with kids if you can or nurture your own inner child by engaging in a youthful activity or watching funny, cute videos online. If you are trying to conceive, this week leading up to the full moon may prove favorable for you.

Crystal suggestions: Amber, citrine, malachite, carnelian, clear quartz, green jade, moonstone, tigers eye, sunstone

Have a great week!

Tarot message this week: First quarter moon in Taurus. Invest wisely.

Queen of Swords & Seven of Pentacles from the Wandering Star Tarot

Towards the end of this week, the moon is entering its first quarter phase in the sign of Taurus. The first quarter moon tends to bring up obstacles or highlight potential problem areas that need to be evaluated. It tests our resolve by encouraging us to come up with creative solutions. In the sign of Taurus this may be in the area of one’s finances, health, relationships, and other “earthly” matters.

It’s interesting that one of the cards that came out today, is the seven of pentacles, which corresponds to the sign of Taurus. The seven of pentacles reminds us to invest wisely. This is the classic “you reap what you sow” card. Progress is slow and steady, and this card indicates a certain amount of time and effort is required to make it work. This card can also speak of frustration if progress is slow. It also may ask us to carefully consider if we should continue to invest in something that is not yielding the results that we anticipated.

What in your life this week could use a careful review of the investment versus profit ratio? The Queen of Swords is in this reading, indicating that perhaps you would benefit from seeking impartial advice from someone you trust. She may also have shown up to encourage you to look at the facts and make a decision. It may be time to cut your losses and chalk it up to experience. Or she may give you some constructive criticism, tell you to roll up your sleeves and get to work!

Be prepared to hear what you need to hear, and not what you want to hear. The Queen of Swords either as a person, or as an archetype, tells it like it is! If you are connecting with this reading, what advice do you think she would have for you?

Have a great week!

This week: New Moon in Aquarius, Ace of Wands, Tigers Eye: Yes!

Ace of Wands from the Rider Waite tarot deck & Tiger’s Eye crystal card

This Saturday, we have the first new moon of 2023 in the sign of progressive Aquarius. New moons mark the beginning of a new cycle. I find it interesting that the tarot card that came out for this week is the Ace of Wands and the crystal card is Tiger’s Eye. All the Aces in the tarot indicate new beginnings and potential. And both the Ace of Wands and the tigers eye crystal carry the frequencies of courage, fire, clarity, self-sovereignty, and faith in oneself. With this dynamic trio working together, you may be feeling inspired to make some positive changes or start something new this week!

There’s a saying that five seconds of courage can change your life. This may be your message to initiate a plan of action. The Ace of Wands upright is a “yes”. Weigh your options carefully of course. But don’t let self-doubt, fear or overthinking stand in the way of a good opportunity!

Tigers eye is an “all purpose” crystal that assists with psychic clarity, courage, protection, and helps one to channel their personal power in a constructive manner. It is also aids in lifting one’s mood, while at the same time, calms an overactive mind. Tigers eye carries a mid-level vibration which is well-tolerated by even very sensitive empaths. Try carrying a tigers eye tumbled stone or wear a bracelet or pendant this week to connect with this powerful, yet gentle, stone as you embark on your exciting new quest!

Have a great week everyone! ~Christine

Friday the 13th unlucky? Not!

Friday the 13th unlucky? A few thoughts…

Friday, is the day of the Goddess! Corresponding to the Goddess Freya and ruled by the planet Venus, this day is a powerful time to set intentions and honor the gifts that the Goddess bestows upon us (creativity, sensuality, fertility, health, love, wisdom, beauty, the cycle of life/death/rebirth & magic).

Number 13 corresponds to the Death card in the tarot. This card is symbolic of the cycle of death and rebirth. Speaking of cycles, interestingly enough, number 13, also corresponds to the average number of monthly cycles a woman has during the year.

The number 13 adds up the number 4 which carries the energy of stability. And how does the Goddess with her never-ending, tumultuous cycles provide stability? By being the vessel from which all life on the planet springs forth from. The Goddess ensures the continuance of the cycle of life on this planet. No matter what happens, the earth continues to turn, and life goes on.

I hope this post was helpful in offering you a different perspective!

Full Moon in Gemini 12/7/22

Tarot cards Nine of Swords, Nine of Wands for the Full Moon in Gemini

As I look at these cards today for this transit, I sense a lot of collective pent-up internal energy. The Gemini moon represented by the nine of swords, has us all up in our head! And the Sun in the sign of Sagittarius, represented by the nine of wands, has us battle weary, but holding strong, as we are in the final month of 2022. Full Moons have a strong effect on us and the planet, as they intensify energy. Add the hustle and bustle of the holidays to the mix, and we have quite a dynamic smoothie whirling in the blender!

The advice card that came out is #53 use your hands. Ground some of this energy by getting out of your head and into your physical experience this week! Exercise, get out in nature, walk, run, do yoga, cook, bake, make crafts, spend time with your partner, etc. Make lists to help organize your thoughts. Try to schedule your day to focus your intentions & add structure.

It is also important to understand that December, collectively, is the time of the year where there are interruptions and delays due to the holidays. December as well as full moons, are also when cycles are generally finishing up. Make peace with the process and try to work with the tide instead of against it. Some arrangements, resolutions or important decisions may be best deferred to 2023.

Gemini is a dynamic energy that is quick witted, active, social and highly adaptable. This is not one of those “deep thoughts” kind of full moon. Its more about swift decisions and action. I feel both the 9 of swords and the 9 of wands in this reading indicate a strong desire for connection and new positive experiences. Perhaps you would like to make a difference in your community? Volunteer at a church, charity, animal shelter, fund raiser, etc. Host a holiday party. After what we have been through the last few years, I’m sure friends and family would love to get together! Do some fun activities with the kids. Knock out that holiday list by getting your shopping done early. Do that final closet clean out and donate items to charity. Dress up and go to a local community event. Attend a local market. Rediscover yourself and your surroundings.

Gemini rules communications! Now would be a great time to pare down social media feeds that no longer contribute in a positive way to your well-being! As well as maybe add some new interesting feeds to your experience.

Collectively, this full moon is quite active and expressive! The pent up energy we are experiencing may seem a little frustrating, but channeled in a positive way, it gives us the opportunity to make some sustainable and positive changes as we approach the end of 2022.

Helpful crystal suggestions: Black tourmaline, black obsidian, smoky quartz, pyrite, tourmalinated quartz, howlite, tigers eye, moss agate, ametrine, moonstone, nuummite, chrysocolla, quartz pyramid or point.

Have a great week!

Post Eclipse Message: The beach is swept clean. Decisions, choices.

Post eclipse tarot spread. A clean slate. A choice to move forward.

I don’t know about ya’ll but this eclipse season whipped my ass! But I do now feel a sense of relief and newfound motivation that I haven’t felt in a while. You guys are all “tapped in” too, so I know I am not the only one feeling this way!

Today, the moon has just begun its waning decreasing phase. Illumination is 99% and it is in the sign of Gemini. The Sun is in Scorpio and its corresponding tarot card is the 6 of cups. This is full-on transformation energy! Realizing the past is done and making peace with it in order to move ahead. We have a decision to make as to which direction we want our Chariot to go. Backwards is not an option.

The eclipses showed us what was dragging us down or holding us back. Much of this we may have realized were not necessarily outward forces, but rather internal blockages that were manifesting in our life. I received an image today of the ocean tide sweeping the shoreline clean as it pulls back into the ocean. Removing all of the old footprints of the past and replacing it with a clean water swept beach. Go ahead and look back, but the footprints are gone.

I have a feeling its going to be very interesting from here on out. Have a great day!
