Astro Report for the week

"The Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse was intense on Sunday, it was a Super Moon and so very close to the Earth and so the lessons were hitting close to home ~ This Eclipse was in close proximity to the North and South Nodes too and so there is no way around your destiny with this and the things that are truly necessary to fall into place for your greatest good. They help us to clear and resolve old karmic issues and they offer a higher vibrational road for us to travel.

If we need something new: a new way of being, a new life or way of thinking, this last Full Moon in Aries will do it. It effects relationships since its polarity is Libra and so some interesting developments surely have taken place. The North node points us in the direction of destiny and is the highest direction of our growth. We can ignore it, but usually symptoms and crisis result and so it is home base and we should feel this part of us deep down feel somewhat appeased this week. The South Node reminds us of what we must put behind us to evolve and with it in Aries, and the Full Moon in Aries, we will know exactly what we need to say goodbye to karmically; all our old ego identity stuff will be blasted away and will more clearly see our truth and what it means in the world.
We will have been worked heavy in regards to how we fall back on that feeling of being alone, so all lifetimes of being alone and in survival will come up, the fight or flight response and survival concerns will be overwhelming, especially if we have gone through a lot of abuse. We are heading into the Libra energy as our next evolutionary step and it involves finding a new balance and harmony through internal and external cooperation and knowing how to extend and receive support.

It is hard to know how to receive and sometimes it is easier to give, especially when we are in pain, we want to give all that we are, cause we can't imagine someone being in the pain we know all too well. Sometimes the pain is so great that we are numb, and this leaves one vulnerable to manipulative patterns without knowing we they are being that way ~ those patterns should be cleared this week. We are a mixture of all sorts of pain and all sorts of gifts and abilities and our work is about balance and wholeness...

It all sounds easy enough, but it isn't always so grace and ease like. Letting go of karmic stuff or ancient agreements is especially hard and painful because it is based on accumulation and things our passions were once very invested in. We grow used to it or we feel the pressure cooker building; it is the larger picture unconscious of who we are on this great Journey...

This latest Lunar Eclipse is helping us to go down the necessary road of clearing, so that we can walk down a new road that is good for us, as it is in alignment with our agreements and our new lessons and goals. It holds the arrow forward on the trail. All that we want to be free from, we are more able to clear, as we are also able to move forward on new footing, more empowered from deep within... We should also feel more encouraged this week about the road ahead and our goals that are actually within reach... We will more than likely find much inspiration from those times, knowing the need for renewal and inner peace, but we still have to let go.

The Astrological week is a fairly calm one, but of course Mercury is retrograde, but when is it going inward ever really an issue? Well, we have our projections and opinions and in isn't always the easiest territory to go into and communications are a big part of our world and when they are delayed and interrupted or when distortions are a theme, it is hard to not react. Don't let it derail the evolutionary path you have chosen, unless you really need to make further adjustments and you are catching up with it all.

Wednesday and Thursday of this week may be a bit unstable and unpredictable. We have a minor but potentially irritating Mars-Uranus aspect. Mars is all about self will-power and free-will choice and Uranus is all about shock, disruption, change and crisis... It leads to great epiphanies and awakening, but sometimes we don't want to deal with its vibration. We just need to fully get that the way forward is the better way than before. Mars is in Virgo and it is crucial to our health to adopt this knowingness, or our bodies will sound the alarm and try and make it clear to us. This is a week where all that we truly are is being heightened, enjoy it and let yourself relax into it, or be prepared to have to listen and so with challenges from here? Just learn how to listen."
