 Moon, Venus and Mercury in Cancer | 24 July 2014 

Ruling the 4th House in astrology, Cancer is all about our internal and outer home. Where do we feel most at home? With the Moon, Mercury and Venus here it can be a great time to start appreciating where we are today, wherever we may be. To make way for gratitude and peace to come into our life. To find a new sense of comfort in a place we like to call home, or at least become more aware of what we can do to make our self feel more joyful in this very moment. During the next few weeks we can find the opportunity at the right time to experience something very unique with family and friends. What we feel and think about can happen when we take positive action.

 New Moon in Leo | 26 July 2014 

And suddenly you know... It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings. Meister Eckhart Where were we 3 years ago? 2 years ago? 1 year ago? 1 week ago? How much have we truly changed? How much have we grown? Happy New Moon in Leo! Love and freedom rule this New Moon in playful and upbeat Leo! Ruling the 5th House in Astrology, Leo in our chart represents our freedom of self-expression, creativity, playfulness, and confidence. With the Sun and Jupiter here, the New Moon marks a time when we can no longer be anyone but our truest and most authentic self! Not only because we want to, but because we feel that we need to. Otherwise we'd feel like we are betraying our heart and soul. It's a truly cathartic time for many of us, a time when we can finally open our heart to more people in our life. The Leo sign represents true expression of the heart, so there's really no better time to express our appreciation than this New Moon!

 Moon in Virgo | 29 July 2014 

It's time to get back to work. When the Moon is in Virgo, it's always a great time to put our focus back on our daily life - re: domestic routines, work, exercises, etc. For some of us who are currently still on holidays, it can be a great time to start planning about what we will do after the holidays are over. The Moon in communicative + detail-oriented Virgo is trining Pluto the intense planet in Capricorn and I drew a special card from the Tarot Angel Cards, the card I picked was Do Not Judge; Do you like to judge? Are you aware that judgments kill? Are you aware that judging damages you and others the most? Are you aware that all your judgments about yourself and others are locked in your body? What would it be like to stop judging? Affirmation: What kind of energy and consciousness can I be and what can I do and add to my life at this moment so I can let go of all judgments about myself and others NOW and in THE FUTURE?

26 July 2014

 And suddenly you know... It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings. 

Meister Eckhart

Where were we 3 years ago? 2 years ago? 1 year ago? 1 week ago? 

How much have we truly changed?

How much have we grown?

Happy New Moon in Leo! Love and freedom rule this New Moon in playful and upbeat Leo! Ruling the 5th House in Astrology, Leo in our chart represents our freedom of self-expression, creativity, playfulness, and confidence. With the Sun and Jupiter here, the New Moon marks a time when we can no longer be anyone but our truest and most authentic self! Not only because we want to, but because we feel that we need to. Otherwise we'd feel like we are betraying our heart and soul. It's a truly cathartic time for many of us, a time when we can finally open our heart to more people in our life. The Leo sign represents true expression of the heart, so there's really no better time to express our appreciation than this New Moon!

Speaking of creativity, how can we express our self in a more honest and direct way now? How can we feel more comfortable in sharing our truest hopes and dreams with people around us? The Moon in Leo will later trine Retrograde Uranus in Aries, which means that we can finally discover new and more creative ways to break free from our old ways of doing things, or thinking about things. What used to be okay for us may no longer fit our new perspective on life and relationships. We expect nothing but the real and authentic from our interactions, and we'll be able to see how we can bring about more love and honesty into our life. Creative imagination and inspiration surround us when we see the world with open heart and childlike eyes.

Mercury in Cancer is trining Saturn which is now moving direct in Scorpio (after his 5 month retrograde in the sign). We have the mental and emotional capabilities to stay strong, grounded, and responsible. No matter what new obstacles may appear on our path, we will see that we are indeed stronger than we have ever been before. We have evolved so much in the past couple of years, and we can now understand that with stronger and more positive mental vision we can deal with whatever problems/lessons life may throw in the future.

It's time for another journey of self-discovery! To have more faith in our new confidence + spirit, and to keep exploring new roads. Ones that we trust and believe will eventually take us to the destination that we've been searching for. Keep evolving and continue moving forward! Keywords; growth, expansion, confidence, radiance, joy! ☆*✲ﾟ*｡(◍•ᴗ•◍)｡*ﾟ✲*☆

I drew a special card from the Crystal Wind Oracle Cards for whoever is reading this blog post, and the card I picked

was The Seer; Trust your intuition. Meaning: You can accurately asses a situation and surmise the outcome.

Prophetic images flash through your mind, dreaming or awake. You already know what to do and

‘The Seer’ reinforces that you are on the right path. You may meet a very perceptive

man, woman or child that will help guide you along the way.

Interpretation: It is a time for you to start tuning in to your instincts – that deepest inner sense of personal truth in

any given situation – and start acting on that truth, moment to moment. You can read the emotions

and energies of other people. More importantly, you are learning to trust yourself

and your feelings. This will lead you to the answers you seek.

12 July 2014

 Can you really connect with someone who won't look you in your eyes? It's the same with you and your dreams. Look 

 your dreams right in the eye and dialogue with them. Ask your dreams the right questions like why do you 

 want them in the first place? Why is your dream so important to you? See your dreams for what they 

 truly are. Keep your eyes on your dreams and stay connected to them every day. By doing this 

 your understanding of self will increase and you will become one with your dreams. 

 What you focus on grows so keep your focus pointed in the right direction. 

Mind Power 365

One word that comes to mind when I think of the upcoming Full Moon in Capricorn is potent. Not only will the Moon in Capricorn oppose the Sun in Cancer, it will also conjunct Pluto - and then later activates the Grand Cross aspects to Mars in Libra and Uranus in Aries. For many this can be another particularly intense Full Moon when emotions can run high and imaginations run wild. For the rest of us, this can be a time when we can see more clearly with open heart where our life is heading, and how we truly feel about it. We can look forward to finding a new sense of confidence – regardless of our past fears and limitations. As Plato once said, courage is knowing what not to fear. So there's really no better time to focus on the positive in our life than this Full Moon!

Great questions to ask; What do I need to look at more at this time? What do I need to look away from? Which paths I need to take next in order for me to get closer to my goals and dreams? Because goals + dreams have to start somewhere, and that somewhere is today! ♥～(‘▽^人)

Apart from all the potent energies coming from the Full Moon, we can expect to see another great omen from the heavens. Because the Moon will also form a sextile to Saturn in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces. This can be another great opportunity for many of us to heal our emotional wounds, so that we can start fresh in the next phase of our life. We just need to remain open to life's possibilities for true healing to occur, and then to surrender and let go.

Speaking of Capricorn, let's not forget that we had a powerful New Moon in this sign back on January 1st. Where were we on New Years eve? How did we feel? And what did we do? For some the memories can come up again at this time because the energy of this Full Moon will be quite similar. Perhaps we can see now that some things didn't go as we'd hoped - although in the greater scheme of things, they did go in the best way that only our heart and soul can understand. Or perhaps things did go as planned, but we're seeing them rather differently now. If we look back, we will see that perhaps we didn't really want all those things we thought we wanted – partly because we couldn't see them as clearly and honestly as we should. Planet Venus (aka Goddess of love and desires) was still in her retrograde period too at the beginning of the year, so the chances of unclarity when it comes to our heart's desires were quite high. Either way, trust that in time the answers will always come to us in one way or another.

In the end, the Full Moon is always a time of culmination, a time when we can see and reap the rewards of our efforts. A time when we can discover new steps we need to take in order for us to grow and evolve. A time when we can release things from our life that no longer serve us, so that we can move forward with new hope. This Capricorn Full Moon in particular can also provide us with insights on how to drop our fears. By dropping fears, I'm not suggesting some extreme examples like our fear of jumping off planes or wrestling with snakes. It's really more about the letting go of our emotional demons, our fear of failure, our fear of success, our fear of the unknown, the future, and to catch glimpses of inspiration that come up in our mind. After all, only we know the answers. What we're ready to do next, and what we're ready to let go. Everyone can say what they want to say, or do what they want to do, but ultimately, we're truly the captain of our soul!

 I drew a special card from The Mystic Angels Empowerment Deck for whoever is reading this blog post, and the card I

 "A master is the one who is awake!" The Archangel St. Israfel has come to help you awaken from your slumber. 

 For you, there will be no more hiding under a bushel basket or hibernating within the confines of your self 

 imposed comfort zone. It is time for you to see the magnificent Gifts that you hold and to share those 

 precious gems with the world around you. Paint, write, create, dance, speak, chant, build, love, 

 encourage, counsel... sing the unique song of your soul! Daily Mantra: 

 I am alive. I am awake. I am that I am.

27 June 2014

All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension,

stress, worry - all forms of fear – are caused by too much future and not enough presence. Guilt, regret,

resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness

are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.

Eckhart Tolle

We've heard by now that living in the moment can be a good thing, but let's face it, most of us are not quite there yet. We're definitely on our way, but I feel there's still something rather familiar (and many lessons that we can learn) from being flawed, human and not-in-the-moment. Especially with Mercury going retrograde (currently in Gemini) since June 7th - until July 1st, we may have been contemplating about the past and the future in our mind. Some may even feel sad about the past, or feel a little fearful of the future, but that really shouldn't stop us from moving on anyway. In fact, they can be wonderful tools to empower + help propel us forward into the future of our dreams! Now that sounds promising! (ノ^_^)ノ

Along with the Retrograde Mercury in Gemini, we currently also have planet Venus in the same sign. With Venus here, many can find more enjoyable time to read stories about love, perhaps listen to some lovely love songs, thinking about love, or talking about it with their friends and loved ones. Most can finally discover more opportunities to express their heart and mind in more harmonious and effective ways.

Speaking of the upcoming New Moon in Cancer, one word that comes to mind is dreamy. Not only will the Sun and the Moon come together closely in the sign of protective and caring Cancer, but they will make a positive trine aspect to dreamy Neptune – which has been in a fellow water sign of Pisces. So in this New Moon, it can be another great time for us to ask our self; how can we be more optimistic and positive in the midst of our different emotions? How can we be more nurturing to our body, and to our feelings? To our family, and friends? To our work, and colleagues? To our goals and dreams? Let's not forget that we still have Jupiter here in late degrees of Cancer (which is about to move to Leo next month) still making a trine aspect to Saturn. So we still have ample time to attract and manifest our goals and dreams - as long as we're still happy to do our part in making them come true! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Interestingly, it can be quite easy too for some of us to get a little emotional during this New Moon. But it can also remind us of ways in which we can be extra nurturing to our own emotions and feelings - while at the same time understand the emotions and feelings of others in our world.

In the end, the New Moon is always a great time to plant new seeds, to nurture them and to work on them until the next Full Moon - which will happen in the constellation of Capricorn on July 12th. A time when we can see a new turning point in our life, and reap the rewards of our efforts since the powerful Capricorn New Moon back on January 1st!

It's time to

LOVE. DREAM. CREATE.

Happy New Moon in Cancer! ☆ ﾐ (⌒‿‿⌒)ﾉ*･゜ﾟ･*☆

I drew 2 special cards this time for whoever is reading this blog post, and the first card I picked from Karen Nash's Floramations Oracle Cards was Delicate Beauty; You are beautiful! Your gentle nature and loving heart allows your inner beauty to shine through! Never change being you! Never let anyone tell you anything different. Sometimes we hear things that make us feel unattractive or less beautiful than we are. Know that your beautiful spirit, and heart is full of love, and love is all we need. Your uniqueness is fantastic, as we bring aspects of ourselves to the world that noone else can bring, we truly find out who loves us unconditionally, and that is all we need to know.

The second card I picked from The Mystic Angels Empowerment Deck was Archangel Asariel; Contemplative Word: Reflect. Symbolism: Capricorn and the Mansions of the Moon. Every step along the Journey of Life gathers to us experiences, people, places and things that help to create our own unique story. This story becomes like a room filled with treasures within the Mansions of the Moon. Treasure, in the eye of the beholder, is glorious indeed. Since the dawn of time, you have been a priceless treasure in the eye of the One who beholds you. Share your story. Daily Mantra: Every moment of my life has made me the beautiful Light that I have become.

Renungan Bulan Purnama di Sagittarius

13 Juni 2014

Dapat dibilang ini merupakan blog post pertamaku yang kutulis dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Selama ini aku menggunakan bahasa Inggris bukan untuk menunjukkan kebolehanku dalam berbahasa Inggris - karena jumlah kosakata dalam Bahasa Inggris yang kuketahuipun juga masih tergolong terbatas. Alasan kenapa selama ini aku lebih memilih untuk menulis dalam bahasa Inggris karena aku merasa kurang percaya diri untuk menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar, khawatir kesannya terlalu formal dan kaku. Alasan lain yang selama ini juga ada di benakku adalah karena aku menghabiskan masa SMA dan kuliahku di Australia. Jadi aku merasa seperti kehilangan momen-momen penting pada saat itu untuk berbicara + menulis dengan menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar. Tapi tetap tidak ada salahnya mencoba, kan? :) 

Seperti yang keluarga dan teman-teman terdekatku ketahui, akhir-akhir ini aku jadi semakin senang mengekspresikan diriku dengan berbicara mengenai Astrologi di dunia maya. Karena memang aku semakin senang mempelajarinya. Bagiku ini adalah semacam hobi yang selama ini ternyata terpendam di dalam diriku. Dan di akhir tahun 2012 lalu aku jadi semakin semangat mempelajari topik ini - dalam upaya untuk bisa memahami diri sendiri dengan lebih baik. Karena menurutku lebih dalam kita bisa memahami kekurangan + kelebihan kita, akan lebih cepat pula kita bisa menemukan potensi terbaik dalam diri kita untuk menjadi manusia yang lebih baik. 

Bulan Purnama yang akan terjadi pada hari Jumat tanggal 13 Juni 2014 ini berada pada rasi bintang Sagittarius. Sagittarius adalah rasi bintang dengan unsur Api, dan planet yang berhubungan dengan rasi bintang ini adalah Jupiter. Kebanyakan Sagittarius dikenal sebagai sosok dengan kepribadian yang selalu penuh semangat, positif dan juga tangguh. Planet Jupiter sendiri dalam Astrologi dikenal sebagai planet dengan energi positif, spiritual dan juga berhubungan dengan visi + misi dalam hidup manusia. Waktu Bulan Purnama dalam Astrologi dikatakan sebagai waktu dimana kita bisa melihat dan memetik hasil dari usaha kita sejak waktu Bulan Baru (yang tanggal 28 Mei lalu berada di rasi bintang Gemini).  Dan karena Bulan Purnama di Sagittarius kali ini akan membentuk aspek positif trine dengan planet revolusioner Uranus - yang saat ini berada di rasi bintang Aries (sama seperti Sagittarius juga berunsur Api), kita semua bisa merasa lebih berani lagi dalam mencoba ide-ide baru yang unik untuk menggapai impian kita. Mungkin selama ini kita sudah merasa semakin jenuh dengan usaha kita yang metodenya selalu sama, dan sering memberikan hasil yang sama pula. Atau mungkin ada aspek lain dalam kehidupan kita yang dapat dibilang sudah mencapai titik 'super membosankan' – jadi mau tidak mau kita akan merasa terdorong untuk melakukan perubahan (yang bisa jadi cukup radikal) agar jalan kita ke depannya bisa lebih sesuai dengan hati kita. Seperti usahaku kali ini yang pertama kalinya mencoba untuk menulis dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan membaginya di blogku - yang ternyata rasanya sangat 'baru' dan menyegarkan bagiku ●‿● 

Aku sendiri belum tahu pasti kedepannya akan seberapa percaya diri lagi untuk menulis dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Tapi hikmah yang bisa kuambil dari Bulan Purnama ini adalah agar lebih berani dalam belajar dan mencoba hal-hal yang benar-benar baru bagiku. Karena dengan melakukan hal yang baru, kita akan mendapatkan semangat yang baru, dan bisa melihat ke depan dengan mata dan pikiran yang juga terasa lebih segar. Sebagai renungan Bulan Purnama kali ini, langkah baru apa yang ingin kita coba lakukan berikutnya? Apakah langkah itu berhubungan dengan visi dan misi kita di masa depan? Atau berhubungan dengan kehidupan kita saat ini? Apapun itu, menurutku sekaranglah saat yang paling tepat untuk mencoba hal yang menurut kita 'baru'. Siapa tahu kita bisa mendapatkan hasil yang baru, dan bahkan lebih baik dari yang kita bayangkan sebelumnya ^_^ 

Selamat Bulan Purnama di Sagittarius!

28 May 2014

“If you could give one piece of advice to yourself at the age of eighteen, what would it be?”

“If you want something, you've got to ask. Hard work isn't enough. Yes, you need to work hard.

But then you've got to ask.”

#HumansOfNewYork

With Pluto sextiling both Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces, it's time to get back to our deep truths. What is life?

What is death? Where do our truest dreams lie in our soul? What are they, really? How can we accomplish them

in this lifetime? And what new steps we need to take? New inspirations, new dreams and desires.

True unconditional love and forgiveness. It's time for another new beginning. We can do it.

We just need to look again at what truly inspires us. What makes us feel alive.

The answers are always within. 

With the Sun + the Moon together closely in the constellation of Gemini, marking the New Moon -

while trining Mars in Libra, we are reminded once again of our real power. Our mind,

our speech, our choices. It's all in our hands. Can you see them?

Can you feel them? Yes you can! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

I drew a special card from John Cali's Spirit Oracle Cards for whoever is reading

this blog post, and the card I picked was Responsibility;

You must realize (despite your society's proclamations to the contrary) there truly are no victims, no victimizers. There

are only co-creators. To deny that is to deny your own power to create whatever you want. You are not a victim

of circumstances - or the weather, other people, your governments, etc. You are not a pawn buffeted

about by the "powers that be." You are not lost, and you definitely don't need to be saved.

You are you - this divine being of incredible power and wisdom who can do and have and be whatever

you choose. Many have trouble accepting the concept of creating their own reality. After all,

if you believe you create your own reality, that means you must accept full

responsibility for everything that happens in your life.

Do you accept that responsibility?

14 May 2014

A vision of a desired future allows you to engage and identify immediately in your focus with an improved condition.

It changes what you perceive and how you perform - NOW. It's not about achieving something in time. It's rather

about the quality of choices you are making in this moment – what you choose to perceive, feel, and do.

It's about getting the most out of your experience.

David Allen

The difference between optimism and pessimism resides in memory. The pessimist aptly recalls the hurts

and failures of yesterday, but cannot remember the plentiful possibilities of a new tomorrow.

The optimist has a hopeful future already memorized.

Charles E. Jinks

It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.

Lucille Ball

 So, what makes YOU happy? ≥Ö‿Ö≤ 

 Let's talk about the concept of taking responsibility for our own happiness. What does that mean? Why do we have to 

 take responsibility for our own happiness? Isn't happiness supposed to come to us, naturally? From outside of us? 

 Yes. That's true. Happiness can come to us naturally from outside of us. But we are living in a world filled 

 with different energies + vibrations + emotions + feelings + perspectives + belief systems, and many 

 times, they can be quite different to ours. So if we always wait for forces outside

of us to make us happy, then we won't be too happy most of the time. 

 The potential for true happiness is always inside of us, if we're willing to look deeper into what can make us happy - 

 and it doesn't even have to start from the big things. In today's world, people often forget how to enjoy the 

 simpler things in life. These simple examples can hopefully show a few good ways you can jump start 

 your happiness; If the show you are watching on TV makes you feel unhappy, simply change the 

 channel. If you don't like a song currently playing on the radio, change the station. If you don't 

 feel comfortable around someone, move a few feet away from them (or more hehe). If 

 you feel bored, go someplace that can make you feel more alive (the beach, the 

 park, the mall, the local cafe? etc). If a place is too noisy, go someplace 

 more quiet. If you feel angry, check to see if you are maybe hungry, 

 or sleepy, or... You get the idea. 

 This is not about avoiding problems, this is about putting our self in a more comfortable state of mind so that we are 

 able to think more effectively. We can sometimes get so engulfed in our own negative thoughts and emotions that 

 we forget the simpler ways in which we can make make our self feel better. So in this Scorpio Full Moon - 

 which is quite close to the planet Saturn (aka planet of Restrictions + Responsibility) and is making a 

 positive aspect to the planet Jupiter (planet of Optimism + Aspirations), Scorpio which is a sign 

 that's all to do with deep truths and emotional intensity - look for new ways in which you 

 can enjoy the simpler things in life again, and the simpler ways you can make 

 yourself feel better. Look around, they may be closer than you think! 

 Happy Full Moon in Scorpio! ᕕ(◕‿↼)ᕗ

 I drew a special card from the Intuitive Life Coaching Oracle Cards for whoever is reading this blog post, and the 

 card I picked was Awaken; You are awake. You know who you are, what you want, what is most important to 

 you, and how to achieve it. You know who you truly are on a soul level, and you are no longer letting 

 people dictate your life and run it for you. What was previously hidden is now out in the open 

 for you to see. You are no longer seeing the world through the same eyes. You are seeing 

 the world in a new way: through your soul's eyes. This awakening is truly inspirational 

 for all those around you. You are inspiring others and leading the way for others 

 to awaken to their true selves. The veil has been lifted and you are 

 one of the awakened souls that are leading the way 

 for others to awaken to their truth.
