I trust everyone here is well and staying safe. 🙏 You've been reading a lot lately from me about the planet Pluto. Pluto is known as the planet of transformation, endings and beginnings. What is needed to be let go, to make way for the new? Pluto came to a standstill yesterday (Sunday), in preparation for its 160 day retrograde cycle; starting today. 💕 Jupiter and Pluto continue to spend time together, and are maintaining the intensity we've collectively been experiencing; and will continue to do so for a two, to three months. 💕 Tuesday sees Mercury move into the down to earth sign of Taurus where both the Sun and Uranus are already residing. During the coming days we are likely to personally experience and see others come up with revolutionary; yet practical and workable ideas and possible solutions. Thursday will bring the greatest focus. Therefore, make good use of this week, as Mercury moves fast and will move through Taurus in just under two weeks. 💕 The Moon in her first quarter phase is looking for action as she moves through Leo on Friday, and is making a difficult aspect with Mars. Think quick out of the blue ideas that bring creative joy. 💕 By the weekend the Moon has moved into Virgo and offering a favourable time for projects requiring analysis, structure and detailed work; coupled with the willingness to listen and be open to meaningful conversation. 💕 Amy, looks at the Tarot for the week, beginning with the King of cups reversed. He's the healer, the great love and carer. Think salt of the earth parent. Even though my father was super rational this was him, always watched out for us, loved us deeply even if he never said it. Being reversed here we are asked to see if there is a feeling of unease in how we are being cared for, and/or caring. Are we stuck in ruts? Can we shift to care for more people? In different ways? Care for ourselves in new ways. We are made aware daily of the huge shifts around us. How are we engaging in this from a loving heart? This idea is reiterated by the hanged man. Surrendering. Seeing things in a different way. New solutions to age old actions. All we can do is wait, but while we wait..continue in comments (at Chaniá, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_eJ8CXlJOP/?igshid=13y4uuftsedu7

When the Sun is shining and there's warmth in the air. It's a beautiful day. 💕 I trust you are well, be safe. Happy Sunday 💞 🙏 🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_bwNQ9FaT1/?igshid=1pko9rwyvwri1

Taurus is earth energy, ruled by Venus and represents what 'I need'. 💕 The Moon in Taurus is normally a time of stability and security, a time to ask yourself what do you need to feel safe, to feel secure? How do you get your needs met? 💕 However with many feeling less stability and less security, this New Moon brings an opportunity to shake up what was once routine. It's an ideal time for planting seeds; both actual seeds (growing food you need) and starting, building something new. Investing in, or doing something new with something old. 💕 Have you been experiencing any feelings of restlessness leading up to the New Moon? If so, allow the insights to come to support you with what's needed to shift. 💕 Venus (soon to turn retrograde) is in Gemini and providing opportunities to seek information you need to move forward. 💕 Whilst serious Saturn and unpredictable Uranus are making challenging aspects, set to reshape or remove old routines and habits that can also lead to breakthroughs. 💕 We're collectively and individually being asked to make changes that we may not like, so, whether the idea of change excites you or exhausts you, this New Moon in the early degrees of stable and security conscious Taurus is offering much needed grounding and calm to support. 💕 It's time to set your New Moon intentions. What do you 'need'? 💕 🙂 (at Chaniá, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_T1rqWFYvC/?igshid=zn30eg9wlwye

Today marks the start of the Sun's move into earthy, practical & productive Taurus sprinkled with some determination. 💕 Happy birthday to all Taurus (Sun signs), wishing you an enjoyable birthday along with a productive & inspirational year ahead 🔆.💕 The Taurean Sun's first meeting is with meeting is today (Monday) with a tension loaded square to serious Saturn in Aquarius. Be mindful if your focus becomes set on limitations, rather than capabilities. Keep your focus on what's achievable, rather than setting seeds of doubt & succumbing to compromises. 💕 Tuesday sees the Aries Moon meeting with Mercury in Aries. Watch for any firey demands when communicating. 💕 Late Wednesday evening or Thursdays (check times for your location) sees the New Moon in Taurus. More on this later in the week. Check yesterday's post to learn more & register for the online New Moon Manifestation meditation for your location. 💕 By the weekend the Taurus Sun teams up with revolutionary & innovative Uranus. Prepare for new & exciting ideas to be conceived. 💕 However, also be aware of another tension filled square from Mercury & a meeting with Jupiter and Pluto. That's likely to create inner tensions to new & uncomfortable levels. Be aware of any feelings that incite jumping to ineffective conclusions or the practice of cutting corners. 💕 Maybe the weekend is better spent tending to your garden, or your indoor plants. 💕 With extra tense planetary placements in the heavens this week, be gentle we yourself & others. 💞 Any,, looks at the meaning and energy in 3 cards this week & how we can apply this to our present situation. The tower card shows us the times in our lives when things are changing dramatically& often through no fault of ours- huge shifts, as Lindsay Mack says brushfires clearing the way for new growth & that new growth is what Amy is focusing on here. Yes. Things have changed so very much!

Warmer days are coming. I've been seeing one or two locals out having a swim in the inviting clear turquoise water. 💦 💙 Still needs to be warmer temperatures for me. 🙂 So, for now I'll walk by and admire and appreciate the views. 💕 I trust you are well and finding joyful activities that support you during our period of self isolation. Be well, stay safe and stay home 💞 🙏 🏘 (at Crete, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Jm5SilMAB/?igshid=c83pgqueb42q

I've missed seeing the Moon growing to her Full Moon phase during the past few days. It's been blustery dark grey skies and raining. I trust that you've been able to see in your part of the world. 💕 This Full Moon is in Libra, the sign of balance, harmony, peace and togetherness. Putting the spotlight on relationships with other people will be a primary focus, even if this means putting your own immediate needs on hold. 💕 With this Full Moons ruler Venus forming a positive connection with Mars, balance and compromise is possible. Adopting a curious approach can help you get to know your partner better. Or maybe even learn something new. 💕 Variety is the spice of life as Venus is in communicative and chatty Gemini. With this in mind, if moving forward or connection stalls in your relationship, this is a cue to be confident to ask more questions, or consider moving on. 💕 Mars is also in a hard aspect with Uranus during the Full Moon, giving extra strength to emerge stronger. It's your call. 💕 As many, many more across the world are now being asked to stay home, and many now working from home. This new arrangement is presenting new considerations and needs new approaches to retain the balance, harmony, peace and togetherness. 💕 Stay well everyone, be safe and stay home 💞 🙏 (at Chaniá, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-tODWPlc9M/?igshid=1ajt5j3lhoc0k

Whilst many across the world are now experiencing the effects of what is needing to keep ourselves, families and friends safe; nature continues to flow through the seasons. 💕 Spring is bringing pops of colour close to home here in Crete. 💕 Where in our amazing shared world, is home for you? Be well everyone, stay safe and #stayhome. 💞 🙏 🏘 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-qpNTGFlcF/?igshid=5zu3mvt5zpm0

#stayhome

Thank you for too all who have entered our collaborative Give Away. There's still time to enter. 💕 Our Moon opens the week in detailed and organised Virgo, before moving into harmonious, balanced and our love for beauty ~ Libra. In time for the Full Moon on Wednesday (check your time zone for details). See post for Wednesday. 💕 The powerful Jupiter/Pluto conjunction is still dominating the heavens this week. What amazing changes have been taking place for you to contribute to our shared world being a better place? 💕 A Full Moon can generally bring tension. However this Full Moon, be aware and expect bizarre and sudden revelations. If tensions arise, try to slow down to prevent incidents/accidents. 💕 Saturday sees Mercury move into Aries, the warrior archetype. Be mindful of contributing to fiery discussions and being impatient with the status quo ~ remember we're all going through a massive change. 💕 During the weekend the Moon is moving through Sagittarius, while Mercury is meeting with Saturn to help curb any firey tendencies and provide a reality check. 💕 Swipe left for Amy's Weekly Tarot insights (card from the #nakedhearttarot deck that you could win in our giveaway). It’s truly gorgeous. This week I thought to pull just one card, and as I shuffled this one jumped out! The #6ofcups reminds us to engage in the fun and fantasy of childhood. To remember simple joys. As we're still dealing with days of social isolation and quarantine I invite you to take this time to re-connect with the things that you may have forgotten in your busy adult life. I invite you to call an old friend you haven’t spoken with to reconnect. Pick up an old hobby especially if it seems silly and childlike! Reconnect with the person your 6 year old self wanted to become. Take good care of yourselves and your loves ones. For all the essential worker, THANK YOU so very very much for keeping things moving. Have an amazing and enjoyable week ahead. ☀ 💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-oE0Svly2-/?igshid=1s8tbhr1bndti

The firey planet Mars, known for his will power has been cooling off since his move into the collective humanitarian sign of Aquarius two days ago. 💕 Today Mars meets with the planetary teacher, Saturn who provides discipline. 💕 Saturn is stronger in the sign of Aquarius than Mars, and is teaching Mars some manners. I'm seeing here on social media and through speaking with friends both here and elsewhere around the globe, that people are remembering the grace and gift of kindness and being respectful. 💕 Whilst both these heavenly energies are hardheaded, when these two come together, they serve as a combined brighter light to find sensible, practical and realistic solutions. 💕 The planets in the heavens are our teachers and they are shining brightly showing us what is possible to greater a better, healthier and brighter future for our environment and humanity. 🔆 💕 The richness of personal and collective growth are far more rewarding and fulfilling ingredients to living a joyful and satisfying life, than money. 💕 Your thoughts 💭 (at Chaniá, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-bp07Flav2/?igshid=s36f2wg0umcm

It's been a while since I last posted on social media. Thank you to the followers who have stayed with me. 🙏 💕 I trust that each of you are making good use of your time at home, finding creative ways to keep sharing your gifts to others and keeping well. 💕 I've certainly been happily working via the internet, as best I can. Technology is at our fingertips. 💕 Aside those who are providing essential services, the vast majority of the population here, are responding positively to requirements to stay home. Meaning more people are online and putting a strain on internet providers services. While internet provider employers are working from home doing their job to keep people connected. 💕 I learnt yesterday from a friend who's a secondary school teacher; that teachers are now providing online classes for their students. ~ Go Greece 🇬🇷 💕 There is light at the end of the tunnel. We're far from reaching the end, however where there's light sprinkled with creativity and commitment nothing is impossible. 💕 Photo ~ Dante's Gate, a name given to the tunnel on the island of Spinalonga. Be well, stay safe and stay home 💞 🙏 (at Chaniá, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-bNFW2FMCP/?igshid=zfwlqhbgcxhm

Our world is forever changing, and more recently changing very rapidly. 💕 2020 opened with subtle changes that have now fast become our new 'norm'. The whole year is under the influence of a very powerful meeting between Jupiter and Pluto. The planet of insight, goodwill and expansive abundance (aka Jupiter) will be meeting face to face this Sunday with the planet that represents power, the underworld, big money and a big splash of transformation, both in the most ambitious sign of the zodiac ~ Capricorn. 💕 Think big changes, some revelations, obsessions or maybe fanatic fundamentalism. A dose of reality is setting in for many. 💕 Meanwhile Mercury has been gaining speed following his recent retrograde and will meet with Neptune over this coming weekend, and will possibly create a smoke screen thus creating an illusion. 💕 Around the same time Mars/Saturn both in Aquarius meet to ponder what is worth holding onto. 💕 It is certainly set to be an interesting week ahead and leading into the following weeks Full Moon in Libra. 💕 Be well, stay safe and stay home. 🙏 Continue reading below for weekly Tarot with Amy @untethand swipe left for card image. 💕 This week’s communal reading from our home in #stocktonnj. I asked the cards what we can do to help the earth heal, how we can nurture ourselves in these times of quarantine and what’s the underlying energy we need to draw in. We're being asked to examine how we work, and how that impacts the planet and our fellow humans and animals. We'll need to be creative and guided by mutual love and respect. Some may even decide they want to work in different fields, or do our work differently. Think of all the yoga studios offering online classes, kids taking lessons from home, new ideas will pop in as our work lives shift. This is a time of reflection, what does this mean to us and our impact. The #8ofcoins, the #8ofpentacles in traditional decks. What can we do to nurture ourselves. The #magiciancard reminds us that we have all the tools we need. Again we'll need to learn to do things differently, share differently. Turn to different resources & a different pace, but we've got this. Continue in comments.. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-WF1hwl7Gx/?igshid=rg5w9fqs2a1l

Today marks the New Astrological year with the New Moon in Aries ♈ Aries is a driven pioneering energy and brings this peak influence to this New Moon. 💕 Take some time out under this potent energy to set your intentions and reset your focus for the coming 12 months. 💕 Mars is ruling this New Moon and is adding extra drive, confidence and motivation. 💕 While Venus is creating harmony and a fortunate link with Jupiter. Intentions set now may show signs of manifesting earlier than you thought possible. 💕 My New Moon Newsletter is available on my website. See link in bio. Sign up to receive directly to your inbox. 💕 What are you waiting for? With many, many being indoors and self isolating ~ you have time on your side. 💕 Happy Aries ♈ New Moon. Stay safe everyone. 😉 💞 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-GxYgKlJ9W/?igshid=bgqqyu6d48jo

Social distancing is likely to be creating all manor of change for many, on many levels. However, for those who are open to the heavenly energy's. It's a great week to get things done! 💕 Whilst Saturn has now moved out of Capricorn and into Aquarius (see previous post); Mars, Jupiter and Pluto are united and all still in ambitious, practical and hard working Capricorn. 💕 Today, Monday sees Mercury in imaginative Pisces and and working harmoniously with Uranus, ready to bring out those great ideas. 💕 The New Moon (more on this tomorrow), that generally is a time for rest, is in fiery Aries. Such a wonderful time to pioneer into totally new territory, or move even closer to completing any new projects. 💕 Meanwhile, Venus has big plans of her own for the weekend as she creates harmony with Pluto and Jupiter and seeks to express herself in a sensual and creative way. 💕 Continuing reading below for this week's Tarot insights with Amy @untethered_guidance and swipe left to see the image. 😉 This week is another community reading. The little sign from my bedroom above the cards is my wish for all of us in these strange times. I chose a three card spread-situation/action/challenge. For the situation we need containment and grounding. The 4 of pentacles shows us that we need a strong base to work from, all #4 cards show us this. (If you look back to our March 2nd post there is a deeper explanation of this) we need the energy of stability and containment. Grounding. This is where we are now. The whole world is taking time out to contain contagions. We need grounding. Not allowing worries to get to us which is what the swords cards are all about. The swords are ruled by the air element and what we're telling ourselves. Swords also represent 'Action'. While the position of - the queen of swords reversed - shows the action we need, is to turn inward - and reconnect with self. The challenge shown in - the ace of swords- shows us that this is not yet time for a new beginning (the ace of swords reversed).

A couple of days ago, I realised that it was my first year anniversary here on IG (with this profile). 💕 What a journey! It has truly been a joy connecting and engaging with so many amazing people. 💕 Thank you from the bottom of my heart for staying with me and continuing to share smiles, love and laughter that brighten my day. 💕 For those interested in learning what's happening in the heavens with respect to self isolation, from an Astrological perspective; pop over to @asoulawakening 💕 I've also recently uploaded my latest travel story blog (which interestingly for me, was the first photo/post here on IG) on Spinalonga. 💕 On my first visit to Crete, I came armed with my trusted Crete, Lonely Planet guide with dog eared pages of some of the sites that I wanted to visit. The Island of Spinalonga was one! I had booked a four month stay in a traditional Cretan cottage in the village of Plaka. As I’m not one to research everything; I’m happier with winging it. I didn’t realise that there are two villages with the name Plaka; that happen to be at opposite ends of the island. Not to worry! 💕 To be continued... Happy Sunday 💕 🙂 (at Spinalónga, Lasithi, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-CD6_tl7g_/?igshid=xfea5flh22zh

The ringed planet Saturn has moved into Aquarius today. Saturn's last visit here was 26 years ago. 1994. 💕 Saturn symbolises restriction limitations and authority. He is the teacher, the hard taskmaster in the heavens that brings different challenges and encourages each of us to find solutions that bring meaningful growth. 💕 Whilst in Capricorn, Saturn was rumbling the structures of the world stage. As he moves through Aquarius (before retrograding back into Capricorn, then forward again), a shack up is unfolding with oppressive world concerns, global economy's and humanity's inequalities. 💕 The Aquarius energy's are here to rewrite the rules and inject the change that is much needed to make our shared world a better place. 💕 With many people now feeling separated and confined to self isolation, it's time to go within. How can the wisdom you've acquired through conscious development bring about a better world? 💕 Aquarius' revolutionary, social and humanitarian traits are here to help. 26 years ago, this little thing called the 'internet' was at our fingertips. Technology has advanced greatly since then. 💕 Whilst in physical isolation, use technologies social options to connect with like minded people. Rather than focusing on problems, connect with others, talk about the problems in a positive and mindful way. Collectively lift yourselves up and find solutions. 💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-B7Dk2lEjQ/?igshid=1xtm7bd33giaf

Given the current circumstances unfolding across the globe and many countries experiencing what it means to be in look down; how are you using your time? 💕 Me, I've been happily working away in the background to bring my website into alignment with the Professional Development services that I offer. It's an enormous undertaking, however with the supportive guidance and patience by Gabby from @do.more.be.more and her WordPress tutoring services, I'm well and truly on my way. 💕🙂 So what are you doing today?
