Hello October !

Image
    OCTOBER ASTROLOGY 2018 The trees are starting to change foliage, with rustic browns, and russet gold falling to the ground, crisp and crunchy under foot. Let's see what October's astrology holds in store for us. OCTOBER 2 Someone has a secret which spills out as Mercury forms a square to Pluto. The truth is revealed, so make sure if this applies to you that you have nothing to hide. OCTOBER 5 Venus will retrograde until November 16. This can be a time of increased passion, creativity can spike, so get your thoughts down in a journal, or stock up on art supplies in time for when the muse is calling. This could also be a great time to dump all the stuff you no longer need, or want, or have space for. Boxes of stuff gather dust, and prevent you from opening up to new opportunities; and if you're feeling stuck in some area of your life this could be the solution. Love is the major life focus when Venus retrogrades because we can find ourselves look

September 9 New Moon in Virgo Heralds Abundance

Image
The New Moon in Virgo will rise on September 9. What it brings, is surprises, fun, opportunity, and a moment to catch a break after months of turbulence. I can't tell you exactly when all the turbulence will fade away. What I can tell you is this; grab this chance to come up for air while you can, as there isn't much of the year left which isn't marred in some way. Read on. The New Moon will sharpen your focus and definite it. Themes surface around health issues, wellbeing, and career. With  Mercury and Mars turned direct now, things can move on apace after months of stagnation. There are seven planets nestled in Earth signs at the moment, giving a grounding to all the airy fuss and nonsense we've had to endure thus far in 2018. With just three signs in Water signs, there are opportunities to lose yourself with distractions of food, drink or both as sources of escape from the drama and angst of modern life. Instead, why don't you get involved in the

FULL MOON IN PISCES AUGUST 25

The Full Moon falls in Pisces. Full moons are a time for change; to welcome transitions, and to let go and allow things to fall into place. This full moon is very well aspected. It’s part of a Kite, in tight aspect to the Sun in Virgo, Saturn in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus. We also have a Grand Earth Trine between the Sun, Saturn and Uranus.  This is the perfect moment to seek some rest and retreat, solitude, silence.  It’s the calm after the storm. Under a Pisces Moon, we’re encouraged to surrender, just not completely. The Moon’s sextile to Saturn suggests that you need to take a break to reconnect with yourself.  With Venus perfecting a square on the same day as the Full Moon and Mars stationing direct the following day, it’s not as if all tension and challenges have disappeared. With Venus square to Pluto, it’s about whether we’re loveable, whether we’re valuable, worthy. MARS TURNS DIRECT AUGUST 27 Now is not the time to make bold swee

AUGUST ASTROLOGY Some high energy is here ! What can you do with it? Read on. Mercury turns direct on August 18th to get the ball rolling, and signing contracts, renewing leases, and anything involving commitment get the green light now. Mars will not turn direct until August 27, which seems so far away but its not at all. You will get the go ahead on the launch of that project or assignment around this date.  Don't launch any new project/product or initiative until a few days after August 27 for the best possible aspects to bring optimal success. Major changes can occur now, with Uranus in Taurus until November 2018, before moving back into Taurus in March 2019 and remaining there for 7 years. Pick up any newspaper and the headlines all report major disruption on planet Earth, with wildfires raging in some countries, while others face drought. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii hit the news recently, and now Europe has endured a heatwave which is predicted

July's Dramatic Close Approaches This Week

Image
DRAMATIC ECLIPSE July 27 is a blood moon! With the Sun at 4 degrees of Leo and the Moon at 4 degrees of Aquarius, this is a total Lunar Eclipse.  With Mars in Aquarius, Venus in Virgo, Jupiter in Scorpio, Leo in Saturn in Capricorn, this is a sign of conflict, and of civil unrest. Historically, this planetary aspect coincided with world wars. As always, don't make any sudden major life changes now. Wait for this aspect to pass first. If you sign contracts now, you may have to redo them in a few weeks' time as Eclipses tend to hide part of the full facts. Also, it can play out over six months before the whole picture emerges, and you may regret signing on the dotted line. Just when we think are over the worst part of this intense aspect; Mercury is about to turn retrograde, bringing delays, and a focus on the home. If you're buying or selling a home now you may face long delays. Jupiter will trine Neptune bringing an opportunity for healing old dis

Mars Retrogade in Aquarius is Here!

 Mars is now retrograde in the sign of Aquarius On June 26 Mars turned retrograde in Aquarius. This is the start of a two week period where you may be guided to fix things from the past. Letting go of past resentments, drawing a line under past conflicts and resolving them, offering a hand to those hurt by you in the past, that sort of thing. Its not a time to seek revenge; that would be limiting the extent of the power Mars represents. Leave revenge in all its forms to a higher power. What can you use this aspect for? This is a perfect situation where karmic debts can be repaid. If you're always asking something of others, now its your turn to give time, patience, commitment, to others. Finding the time to do something for others may be challenging, but will mars in Aquarius now the opportunity will present itself in a hard to miss way.

MIDWEEK ASTROLOGY UPDATE

Image
MID JUNE 2018 Venus opposing powerful Pluto is creating a bit of fire in our intimate relationships. When Venus/Pluto clash, we can expect the spotlight to be on the power dynamics in our love life or intense friendships. Avoid falling out with your BFF now by walking away, staying silent, or doing nothing to avoid further upsets and conflict. If you're finding life a little too challenging, we're given the opportunity now to bring more balance into our lives and reclaim our power by the gift of clarity. When you see how you can discard outdated behaviour, plans, and schemes, and replace them with efficiency, you can come up for air. Breathe, look at nature, and the wondrous Earth. The Sun is conjunct Mercury and Mercury is square Neptune so interesting conversations abound. We need to make sure we are being truthful and that others are not trying to charm us with illusions, or kid ourselves. Wait for this mood to pass before making any radical decisions.

BALANCING YOUR CHAKRAS FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH & VITALITY

The human body has 7 energy centers .   Reiki healing focuses on these - the chakras . Each chakra relates to specific parts of the human body. Any ailments and physical dysfunctions are felt here; and each energy center governs our mental and emotional state. Reiki works to balance the body mind and spirit by accessing the chakras. When we have a physical pain, it exists as a weaknesses in our body. When we relax, it can undo any tightness or stiffness over time. The problem becomes more persistent if we are stressed, or failing to relax. Working with reiki therapists helps to condition your mind and body to relax, heal, and sustain any repairs to your entire body. The clearing of the chakra's blocked energy using reiki can also balance our emotional state of mind. If there are any fears or negative emotions we are holding on to, we may experience physical restrictions, and ailments. These are signals our bodies give

June 2018 Astrology Forecast   It’s June already! We’re firmly in the Grand Water trine and feeling restless with that Mars Uranus square but some good news in on the horizon at last! Read on ! With Uranus firmly in Taurus now, some of you can expect to see indications of long term changes coming into your life. Whether its you love life, your career or both, some of you are about to get a wake up call. Secrets – and lies – could be exposed now. Fortunately, Mars is in Aquarius now to help you communicate clearly. 1 June sees Jupiter retrograde in Scorpio. Are all your ducks in a row? I ask because the spotlight is firmly on you if you have a Taurus Sun, Moon, or rising/ascendant.

Look out for an explosion of anger from those around you, and keep your head low. You have nothing to fear so let it blow around you. Calme

URANUS HAS ARRIVED IN TAURUS !

Image
Uranus in now in Taurus until November 15. Let's look at what this aspect could bring to our lives. If you have a Taurus Sun, Moon or Ascendant, you may feel this energy the most. Get ready for life changing events, sudden surprises (or disappointments) and try and be more flexible or open to changes before Uranus forces them upon you. Taureans are notorious for being stubborn, but not all Taureans are stubborn!! Uranus was last in Taurus between 1934  and 1942. This time around, it could bring changes to the Banking system, economic fluctuations, earthquakes, natural disasters, and more. Now is a good time to check your financials - look for any overcharging, unexpected chargebacks etc and get them refunded this month. There's already a focus on healing the planet - by using less plastic, exploring alternate sources of fuel, cleaning up our seas and oceans - but this is just a preview of what is possible. Uranus is known for being disruptive, bringing chaos and th

The New Royal Baby's Astrology Chart

The U.K. woke to the news yesterday that there is a new royal baby boy. Born at the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital, London at 11.01 on the morning of 23 April 2018 to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate. The baby is a Taurus like his great grandmother Queen Elizabeth the II, and has his  moon in regal zodiac sign Leo  just a few degrees away from the Queen's.  The  moon in Leo  is sitting with the north node – the karmic destiny point in the birth chart, the hallmark sign that he is destined to be a leader. The Taurus sun is in a prominent position in the skies, another indicator of the great promise awaiting him. Born in the late degrees of the  zodiac sign Cancer , rising in the East, the baby has an ascendant sign mirroring his fathers sun sign and  mother's moon sign – Cancer.  This was also Lady Diana’s zodiac sign. Jupiter in Scorpio is almost perfectly aligned with Mars and Pluto in Capricorn, and aspects Neptune too. He will be the People'

FULL BLUE MOON MARCH 31 The moon , being the closest astronomical body to Earth, has a profound effect on us. It represents the feminine, emotional, creative and nurturing aspects of our lives March 17 heralded a new moon in Pisces at 27 degrees. Good news as Jupiter in Scorpio showered that new moon with radiant luck, expansion, prosperity, healing, and happiness.  FULL MOON The full moon on March 31 is a blue moon, in the sign of Libra. Saturn and Mars will both send a harsh 90-degree square to the full moon in Libra, and to the Sun in Aries which is opposing them. This is the perfect time to release outdated habits that no longer serve you, and to welcome change. You may want to write a list of habits you're releasing, sign and date it, and then burn the list outside on the ground or in your garden. Otherwise you can start a new path are to write your list as before, tear it into pieces, and then take a shower or bath to cleanse your energy.  MERCURY RETROGRADE

If you're sensitive to planetary energetic shifts you'll feel the mounting energy starting today, ending on the rise of the New Moon. What's in store? While Venus moves closer to Pisces you're in with a chance of meeting someone new, or starting afresh in the love or relationship game. This aspect is most favourable for social butterfly types, so crawl off your couch, grab a shower, and then head out.

We are open! https://www.reiki-with-ruby.com/shop THE PRINCIPLES OF REIKI Just for today I will not worry Just for today I will not be angry Just for today I will do my work honestly Just for today I will give thanks for my blessings Just for today I will be kind to my neighbour and every living thing Dr Mikao Usui Reiki's principles were handed down through the ages; compelling each Reiki Master to practice them daily. The Reiki principles are based on the precept that we are living  in the moment .  The Reiki principles remind Reiki Masters that there is only this moment, and not to worry or focus on past or future concerns. Worry is viewed as negative thinking, and, our thoughts being energy; it is believed that we draw this negative energy into our souls. Repetitive negative thinking affects our energy levels, and our sense of wellness diminishes until we resolve to think positively and embrace life in the moment. Liv
