“The October 5th Full Moon falls in the fire sign of Aries and is going to bring an intensity and passion to all of our lives.

The last month for many of us has been about resting, contemplating and releasing the old for the new to emerge. We have been guided by the cosmos to take a gentle approach and to be patient when it comes to going after what we want.

We have also been reminded by Mother Earth with the changing of seasons to prepare for a shift and to give ourselves time to acclimate to the new vibrations that are on offer to us.

All of this energy has been with us since the watery, gentle Pisces Full Moon back in early September, but now the tides are turning.

With the October Full Moon in Aries we are being asked to step up, take action and start claiming back our lives.

No more can we hide in the shadows, no more can we spend time resting and contemplating, instead the time has come act.

We must find our strength no matter what has been going on for us or how hopeless it seems, we must find our strength and we must solider ahead.

When the Full Moon falls in Aries it is a reminder that there are always going to be obstacles in life. There are always going to be things that you have to overcome or things that are going to get you down, but when you believe in yourself, when you tune into your heart’s desire and know yourself, anything is possible.

Aries energy is about believing in yourself so much that any obstacles are viewed as being small in comparison.

Aries energy is about trusting yourself, finding your independence and marching forward in spite of it all in the direction that you know is right. It is about developing a greater sense of self and knowing who you truly are.

Living in the past is no longer an option. Living in the shadows is no longer an option. The time has come to rise. The time has come to emerge and to take action in whatever way feels right for you.

No matter what obstacles are in your way, get clear about what you want and then take steps to making it happen. The Aries Full Moon will support you with your leap of faith, you just have to take the first step.”

Happy Solar Eclipse and New Moon!

“During a Total Solar Eclipse, the Sun, Moon and Earth will be in complete alignment. The three cosmic forces, the holy trinity of our Universe, will come together as one, almost like a grand reset that will help to bring about the start of a new cycle.

The August 21st Solar Eclipse falls in the sign of Leo and will be inspiring you to transform so you can start a new chapter that is more aligned with your soul.

Solar Eclipses are like amplified New Moons and often bring about transformation, new beginnings and changes. Their potency can sometimes be intimidating, but it is important to remember that they always put us on the right path.

The ancients believed that during a Solar Eclipse, the light of the Sun would give way to the darkness in order to be transformed. This momentary darkness was believed to be a highly spiritual, an awakening moment that would help the Sun to return even brighter and stronger in the sky.

To aid in this awakening process, the ancients believed that divinely inspired information from higher realms would be sent down to Earth during the window of the Eclipse.

In fact, the ancients believed that when a Solar Eclipse fell in the sign of Leo it indicated that there would be some ‘enlightening’ message regarding the King.

Of course, in the US we no longer have Kings but we do have leaders that govern the country. For this reason, many astrologers have turned their eyes towards the President and are curious how this Eclipse is going to affect him.

It is much more interesting however, to take a look at the bigger picture influence of this Eclipse and what is really going on behind the scenes. It seems that for the US as a country, big changes are in the works and it is likely that this Eclipse is going to bring about lasting and profound changes.

This new  journey will take time to develop, and all the facts may not be clear just yet, so focus on aligning yourself with your soul, your higher being and your inner essence and the rest will take care of itself.

New beginnings are on the horizon for everyone, but it all starts with raising our consciousness and allowing our inner light to lead the way.

Happy Solar Eclipse!”

It’s been an emotional day hearing that the Legendary Glen Campbell has left the planet…

glenFeeling grateful for his beautiful contribution, and for the gift I’ve been given of spending time this summer with his son Cal. I recently recorded my first track in his studio, which is filled with Glen’s presence and memorabilia and makes his passing all the more poignant. Such a beautiful life 

Happy Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse!

“The Lunar Eclipse falls on August 7th in the sign of Aquarius, and will be shaking up your life so you can make some much needed changes.

August is definitely one of the more potent months of the year and will be bringing about changes and shifts in your mind, body and soul.

The most significant date that August has in store for us is the total Solar Eclipse which falls in the sign of Leo on the 21st.

You have probably heard by now that 2017 is the year of new beginnings, and perhaps you have even felt the cosmos guiding you to start a new chapter in your life that is more aligned with who you are and where you want to be.

There is no doubt that the consciousness of the planet is on the rise and even though there is still a lot of corruption in government and politics, it seems that all of this is coming to the surface in order for it to be exposed.

Big corporations and organizations that have been getting away with misconduct and lies are no longer going to be able to hide, as everything is slowly rising to the surface.

For true change to happen, all of this mucky stuff has to rise to the surface. We have to come face to face with the dark in order to transform it into light.

This is happening on both a global level and on an internal level as well. Perhaps this year you have also had to clear through some of your own muck in order to transform it into light.

All Lunar Eclipses are about releasing and letting go, however what makes them potent is that the Universe often intervenes and releases things from your life that you haven’t yet had the courage to release.

If something has felt shaky in your life, or if a particular area of your life has been volatile for a while, this Lunar Eclipse is likely to bring things to a head. This is so you can clear the way and make room for the rest of the energy to come.

There is also a calling to break down some of the boundaries or barriers that you have given yourself so you can achieve all that you desire. As it goes, the only limits you have are the ones that you give yourself.

There is a revolutionary energy to August and it seems that this Lunar Eclipse is definitely going to be triggering this in a major way.

The time has come to step out of your comfort zone and break away from the herd. This Aquarius Lunar Eclipse will be forcing you to pave your own way and to do away with things that are no longer in your highest interest.”

“The July Full Moon falls on the 8th/9th in the earthy and practical sign of Capricorn. This Full Moon energy is extremely intense, but will be guiding all of us to keep on climbing.

July’s Full Moon is going to be activating the energy of transformation, which means that you are going to be feeling the intense desire to change things in your life.

Emotions will be running high at this Full Moon, and while we are all going to be called to take part in an abrupt transformation, we are also going to be called to start taking responsibility for what we really want.

If there is something you need the motivation to do, or if there is something you have been going after for a while, this Full Moon may just give you the boost you have been looking for.

This is the perfect time to think about launching projects, getting in front of the right clients or investors, or going after your dreams and goals.

July’s Full Moon is definitely one of the most intense of the year, however it will give all of us the opportunity to make quick and potent changes in our lives.

This Full Moon will definitely be calling on us to rip off a few bandaids so we can keep climbing and keep on moving up higher.

We all have our mountain to climb, and this lunar cycle will give us the flexibility and nimbleness we all need to make it to the top.”

“The June Full Moon falls on the 9th in the fire sign of Sagittarius, bringing intensity, transformation and optimism.

Sagittarius energy is wise and expansive. Whenever the Full Moon is in Sagittarius it amplifies our thoughts and feelings and brings more information to the surface. After this Full Moon, there is going to be a lot more clarity about what changes or adjustments need to be made and consequently there will be a peace that will follow.

2017 is a year of new beginnings and as we reach the midway point of the year, things are going to be speeding up to help us get started on this new chapter of our lives.

Because Saturn is involved in this Full Moon, there is also going to be a need for us to really understand the karmic lessons at play so we can move on and move forward.

Whatever stirs for you around this Full Moon, know that it is part of your karmic journey and part of what your soul has come here to learn.

While the June Full Moon will be guiding us to shift and transform so we can start a new beginning, it will also be filling our lives with positive, expansive and optimistic energy.

The June Full Moon is potent, yet loving and will be there to guide you through the next few weeks so you can clear the past and welcome in a bright new future.

The trick with navigating this Full Moon is to focus on finding the joy and keeping and open mind. The more you can view things from an optimistic and open point of view, the easier it is going to be to understand what you have come to learn.

While life is about learning and evolving it is also about finding the joy, as the poet Hafiz says- “stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.”
