Here are some tips, sign by sign.

ARIES: The focus of this eclipse is on the inner world of dreams, spiritual connection and synchronicity. You want to bring awareness here. Initiate projects that hold true value to you, not just opportunities for commerce or survival. Instead of building a big fire and standing back, build a small fire and step close.

TAURUS: Whatever you’ve been brewing in the realm of groups and new associations, move forward now with gentle warmth and confidence. You’re friends are poised to support and nurture you from all sides! If it’s authentic, it will sing. If you need extra funds or ideas, there is a particular other who’s hanging out to be asked.

GEMINI: This is all about you and your career. It’s set to expand in ways you hadn’t dreamed possible so release resistance to success, now. This is your chance to experience the creative genius you are. If trepidation comes up, ie any feelings of unworthiness at the 11th hour, relax. Deep breaths. Above all else, don’t be afraid to bloom.

CANCER: Whatever long distance trip, arrangement or relationship you have going in your life, set clear and precise intentions for what you REALLY want. The theme of the month is expansion and new horizons. This can be literal or metaphorical. The important thing to note is that your world is about to get bigger! Get used to it!

LEO: This is a time to keep a secret and contain a project all while meeting someone eye to eye. A desire is going to go big very soon and right now you need to incubate like a smart mother hen. All this in the midst of intimacy and the need to connect with a deep and penetrating truth. Changes will have lasting effects! For now, tell no one.

VIRGO: Pisces new moon Eclipse is in your relationship sector give you a guardian angel when it comes to business or romantic commitments. There is a magical feeling in the air and you can use this rosy glow to tell a new story when it comes to your love life. Suddenly you are seeing others in their true, spiritual light. Be grounded with desires, and they manifest.

LIBRA: The new moon eclipse in your house of health is perfect for setting intentions about the strength of the body, your power to express your will and the ways and means you accomplish what you want in life – from working for a living to deliberate creation. Feel the energy around you. Tune in and wield your magic! You have the tenacity now to make it work.

SCORPIO: Creativity, romance and wide-eyed enthusiasm well up from your heart making this an eclipse to remember. Put your attention on what makes your feel special, artistic, open and sharing. Identify the ingredient that it takes to ‘make’ your day. There is more where than came from. You just have to realize it, and utilize it. Get out your pens, paints and brushes!

SAGITTARIUS: Attention on your home, family and domestic affairs makes this new moon perfect for starting any repair or maintenance projects, but more than that, it’s a time to notice where you are expanding on an inner level. There is travel a foot. Doors open when you say ‘yes’ BEFORE the question is asked. Optimism abounds, so expand your vision. It’s doable!

CAPRICORN: What is it you want to teach, learn, study or research? Something powerful is stirring along with the opportunity to get involved. It’s not only about reaching for personal goals. It’s about connecting to deeper spiritual links as well. Identify the direction you want to go and settle for nothing less. Write, record, post, proclaim. Express!

AQUARIUS: It’s not always easy to change horses in the middle of the stream but if there is a sudden desire for a course correction, do not hesitate. This new moon eclipse boosts your ability to sense true values and change up where need be. The true secret to a happy life is living authentically. Check in, listen and know. You job is to be you.

PISCES: The new moon eclipse in Pisces is a special time of year where you can feel more connected, more tapped in, more alive. From there you have the ability to add meaning and purpose to your life. There might be a bit of a dreamy quality to how you see yourself and choices seem to be more glamorous than practical. Let your heart be the guide. Set intentions for the upcoming year! Happy solar return!

All you need is love, love, love is all you need

Candida Baker — Fri, 13 Feb 2015 09:27:37 +0000

Even if we don’t have a particular ‘other’ writes Liz Winter, there is still plenty of love to go around on Valentine’s Day – and every other day as well…

It Is Here

What sound was that?

I turn away, into the shaking room.

What was that sound that came in on the dark?
What is this maze of light it leaves us in?
What is this stance we take,
To turn away and then turn back?
What did we hear?

It was the breath we took when we first met.

Listen. It is here.

Harold Pinter

Oh to be romanced, to be loved, to desire and be desired! It’s surely something we all want to experience despite the highs and lows.

Every Valentine’s Day we tend to analyse our love lives. If we are happy in love it seems somehow that we are victorious in some way, and if we are single or unhappy in our current relationship we feel justified to indulge in a sorrowful moment for ourselves. If we do receive a Valentine’s card, flower or present we are keen to share the news but if we don’t does that really make us losers in love?

Perhaps there are times in our lives where a partner is part of our destiny and then there are times when we gain far more by going solo.

And yet, it seems natural to want to be loved by someone special and to reciprocate that love. A lover who gets us, someone who makes us feel good about ourselves, someone who is there to support us and let’s not forget the importance of physical chemistry.

Do we have to wait to meet a soul mate or can we make it happen? Perhaps we can.

By taking some control we feel empowered and this can help us enormously when we feel like a failure in love.

Here are some tips I’ve used when I have felt like a faded wallflower preparing my spinster outfits. It can also help if you want to improve the relationship you are in.

Do your wish list! I can hear you say ‘I’ve already done that, it didn’t work’, but it helps if you review it regularly to keep the energy fresh. Be specific but realistic and also adjust it as time goes on. Read it often and occasionally read it aloud to help bring it in to reality.

Spruce up your feng shui in the bedroom or the house or both. It is the right hand corner of your house when you are facing the main entrance or the right hand corner of your bedroom when standing at the door. Make a ‘love’ altar. Place things that represent love to you, cut out a picture from a magazine of the sort of partner you would like to attract.

Affirmations can work wonders. Try ‘I attract my soul mate now’ and then take a moment to really feel how it would be if you were with your soul mate. Affirmations manifest best when married to emotion and visualisation. Make sure you also affirm that you are worthy and deserving of love.

Become aware how you speak to yourself. Be kind and loving to yourself in thoughts, words and attitudes.

Take an interest outside yourself. Avoid spending time pining for the right partner. Get out there and give something to the community or perform random acts of kindness. It will make you feel good about yourself and when we radiate positive energy, we attract love wherever we go.

Keep your friendships active no matter what your marital status is.

Beware of jealousy of other couples who seem to have a perfect relationship – this attitude will repel love.

If you need to heal the past and are struggling, try counselling or another healing modality. Ask your Spirit Guides and Angels to direct you to the perfect healer for you.

Call on the Romance Angels for help and guidance. Call on Archangel Raguel for conflicts in love and Archangel Jeremiel for heart healing.

Finally, and most importantly, never give up on Love!

All these activities set an intention, and intention can indeed be powerful.

Happy Valentine’s Day…

Psyche and Eros – Playing with Passion

Candida Baker — Fri, 13 Feb 2015 06:17:20 +0000

This Valentine’s Day, make no mistake about it, the stars are on the side of ‘love’. Writer and Verandah Magazine astrologer Kim Falconer says it’s hot stuff, with Psyche, Eros, Venus and Mars all within cooee of each other.

From Kim Falconer’s 11th House Blog.

Astro-LOA Flash – Psyche and Eros are conjunct @21 Pisces within ear shot of Venus and Mars conjunct!

Internally, we may feel ready to meet a more profound level of relating, to ourselves and to others. This can manifest as a projection of that readiness onto others. ie, it can manifest in red hot love.

Psyche longs for a sense of completion through the unity of all life. This is were we are telepathic, intuitive and forever linked with everything, everywhere, all the time. Psyche binds us to the collective unconscious where we dip into the pool of creativity, taste the essence of spiritual awareness and bond with others of our tribe. When she approaches Eros, the bonding is of such a magnitude that we recognize, often for the first time, our infinite capacity to love.

It can be that profound.

This transit may correspond to sudden and super hot love unions, the meeting of a soul mate (our Self as others), the initiation of a creative project or the birth of a child. However it comes, it always takes our breath away. Phew!

This post might seem timely, but it’s just a fluke that it coincides with the celebration of St. Valentine’s Day. The conjunctions have little to do with Saints, chocolate or paper card consumption perpetuated for commercial gain.

Actually, there could be a link to chocolate, so scratch that, but this isn’t about Valentine’s Day, it’s about experiencing and expression passion a la Eros, Venus, Psyche and Mars.

Have you read the myth of Psyche and Eros? Talk about an exposé on desire.

In pursuing (Eros), we pursue our greatest desire. Yet, after all, we live in ignorance of how it will approach. We can only listen, and pray, for the sounds of Eros’ soft, quivering wings.

-Harriot Eisman (1995) The Other Loveliness, PARABOLA, The Magazine of Myth and Tradition, Vol. XX, No. 4.

Passion and desire here mean heart (oh gosh, another V day connection) and if you are laboring after a cause – relationship, job, career, education, creative pitch, you-name-it, and your heart isn’t there, this upcoming transit is going to slam on the breaks, whiplash and all. It’s a ‘get real’ shake up you will not soon forget.

But is it a time to fall in love? Let’s think about that. Richart Roberts has an interesting take, and it isn’t new. Basically, we fall in love with ourselves.

When we fall in love, we shoot out an arrow of psychic energy from the quiver of our unconscious. When this energy finds a person worthy of our projection (“worthy of our love”) then the energy flies back to us like one of Eros’ arrows and we are zapped. But it is not the quality of the other person who has made us fall in love, but the quantity of psychic energy projected by ourselves. Richard Roberts

If this is true, then let’s use this time to put awareness on our heart’s desires and see where they are driving us, where they have changed and where we are willing and open, ready to expand our consciousness and embrace empowered passion.

Think of the conjunction as potent and yes, but the big headline is authentic – authentic desires that resonate with core values, drives, connections, relationships . . . It’s a crazy level passion, and you may get a shock to discover what you thought was lighting you up is no longer, but something new has taken its place.

Where you find this conjunction in your chart is where you tune in to what you want to experience. You get current! If it’s in your 7th house then discover the core of your committed partnership drives. If it’s in your 2nd, what talents and resources do you want to develop? In your 9th, check your beliefs, and any plans to travel, or pursue a higher degree. Yes, you can fall head over heels in this area of life, triggered by the experience of your own psychic energy mirrored back to you.

Venus, Mars, Eros (1898DQ), Psyche

What to do?

Enjoy the hell out of it!

And for those astrologically minded readers amongst you – check the degrees of Pisces and Aries involved, and where they fall in your chart. Leveraging this energy begins with knowing a) where we are at now and b) where we would like to be. Once we know this, we can c) close the gap and experience the passion of the heart without reserve, or resistance.

“The Gap is the space between where you are now and where you want to be. If you know what you want but don’t have it yet, you’re in the gap. Getting what you want is just a matter of closing that gap – which means aligning vibrationally with what you want.” -Jeannette Maw.
