The skies are action-packed this week as we move towards the Full Moon. Knowing about the energies at play will give you the chance to make the most of them, so let’s break them down.

We are in the waxing cycle

We are in the waxing cycle of the Moon, which is the time from New to Full Moon. This is the time to really go for it, in terms of your dreams. It’s the time when your efforts will go out into a receptive sky. Don’t give up, even if there are hiccups. Challenges now should be seen as merely testing your commitment and self-belief. She/he who believes, achieves. Remember, it works like this; feelings first, manifestation second. In other words, feel the feeling of your wishes fulfilled, even as you work towards them. Try it.

Mars on the move

This week Mars moves into Pisces for the first time in around two years. This is a big deal for Pisceans and Virgos in particular and anyone with those signs rising (find out your rising sign for free at moonmessages.com/freechart). But it affects us all in different ways. Mars is all about determination and drive and wherever he is in your chart now, you have a rocket under you. You will find out more in your weekly stars if you’re one of the signs most powerfully affected by this transit. However overall, if you’re walking the spiritual path, it’s a time to get motivated. Do more yoga, more chanting, more meditation. Tai chi and chi gung also work extra well under this.

Love moves forwards again

Venus goes direct. After several weeks of reversing, the planet of romance and riches, Venus, ends her relatively rare retrograde. The time for re-revaluation is coming to a close. Have you worked out what really matters? Live life accordingly! More about this next week.

Mercury retrograde alert

Mercury starts a new retrograde cycle. It’s been one retrograde after another for months. Now Mercury is going backwards in the sign of Sagittarius. More about this in your weekly stars for the signs most affected. Overall, it’s time to rethink, revise, review and revisit.


Do you feel like your life is going backwards? The problem is that Mercury retrogrades up to four times a year – and that brings madness! But we have you covered with our excellent Mercury Retrograde eBook which will see you through this an every Mercury retrograde to come! Click here for info.
