Moon in Cancer | December 8 - 10 2014
One tree can make millions of matchsticks, but one matchstick can also burn millions of trees. The same goes for negative thoughts, one can burn all positive thoughts. Don't let one negative thought ruin all your dreams. The Moon is back in her home sign of Cancer trining Neptune / Chiron in Pisces, and we are moved to be more receptive to our Divine inner guidance and to follow it without hesitation. It's a good time to keep our focus as we can be presented with the perfect opportunity to work on that one dream to bring it into reality. The Cancer Moon will oppose Pluto in Capricorn and square the North Node in Libra, and matters of the heart should not be allowed to get in the way of our work. Look around us and take note of all we see, it will help us to get a good perspective on what's truly going on in our life. There's something important we can learn from a turn of events that will show us what it really means to be disciplined while at the same time keeping our spirit of freedom alive. With the square to Uranus in Aries, do not let changes in our home or work area cause frustration or anger. Remember our positive side and keep focusing on that.

Moon in Virgo | December 12 - 14 2014
Lives fall apart when they need to be rebuilt. -Iyanla Vanzant (Virgo Sun) The Moon is in Virgo opposing Neptune / Chiron in Pisces, getting our intuitive feelings going strong. Our hopes and dreams can provide us with a lot of assistance at this time, especially at times when things seem to get a bit stressful.

The Moon in Virgo is making a trine to Venus / Pluto in Capricorn, and whatever we have thought through can give us a sense of relief to keep going for our goals. It will be good to take a direct approach with a no-nonsense attitude. Anything we set our mind to can work out in our favor when we incorporate more love into our daily activities.

By trying our best to stay centered in the midst of powerful changes, we will know exactly what to do at the right moment.

Moon in Libra | December 15 - 17 2014
I think the Earth and everything around it is connected—the sky and the planets and the stars and everything else we see as a mystery. I think we connect when we accept that the mystery is also taking place here on the ground. We live on Earth and have jobs and interact in society, but we still exist because there is a moon rotating around us, and a sun we rotate around. -Marion Cotillard (Libra Sun) The Moon is in Libra trining Mars in Aquarius, and we are at our best when we tap into our creative side. Inspirations can be found all around when we open our mind and listen to our instincts. Moved by the dynamic energy in the air, we're coming up with potential projects and new ideas, it's almost a problem to know exactly how to accommodate them all. Talk to friends or others who are on the same wavelength. Find out which they feel are most practical and need to be pursued, as their thoughts can help to complete the puzzle. With the Moon in Libra squaring Venus / Pluto in Capricorn and opposing Uranus Rx in Aries, we may get carried away at some point by insecurities about the uncertain nature of our relationships or the future. Instead of worrying, try to focus on the next small steps we can take in order for us to expand, evolve, and move past the fear. Release tension and the need to control and things will go better. The Libra Moon will sextile the Sun in Sagittarius and Jupiter Rx in Leo, and we catch a glimpse of a new hope on the horizon. Our mental energy is strong for big dreams so believe in them. Fill our whole body with joy and contentment, as we think about the blessings that surround us. Being alive and well, is cause enough to celebrate. With the exact square between Uranus / Pluto happening now, we may be anxious to change or move forward. This is a time of transformation. Things are changing, but they will do it in their own time. For now, let go and embrace the new journey.

Moon in Gemini | January 2 - 4 2015
Every day is another chance to renew your friendship with the inner self. Often, it can be easy to lose ourselves when we are around other people. But how does it feel when we suddenly find ourselves alone? Can we enjoy our alone moments for what they truly are? Especially at times when we really want to be around people, but there's no one around. Yes we can. For peace is always the core of our being, and our soul is always speaking to us - guiding us to find inspiration in every moment. The Moon in Gemini is squaring Neptune in Pisces, and we need to take certain steps before our prayers can be fully answered. Now is the perfect time to put energy, action and intention into manifesting what we desire. Once we take that first step, the Universe then gives us additional help. Know that any blocks we encountered in the past were because the timing wasn't yet right. The Gemini Moon will form a sextile to Uranus in Aries and Jupiter Rx in Leo, and we can charm our way through anything. We enjoy casual and more relaxed conversations with others that can contribute to our happiness and well-being. Try to loosen up, as we may be the one to show others how to really have a good time. With the Moon's trine to Mars in Aquarius, we'll be supported as we move forward to put our ideas into action - as long as we remember to check in with our inner self regularly for continued guidance. Take the time to meditate upon our heart's desires, and know that we deserve the best, as we all do. Use affirmations and visualizations to help with the manifesting process, and release any guilt or fear regarding asking for what we want. Trust our instincts, as we're about to discover some paths definitely worth taking.
