Are your values and principles different to the people that you have around you? Be honest with yourself- are you denying your own truth to fit in with others? If so its time for you to start to be confident about creating the right reality for YOU. You don't need to walk away from the people who think differently but maybe you can shield yourself from their negativity and try to manifest people who have the same desires to come forward in your life. Focus on attracting people on your wavelength. x

There is a full moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini tomorrow. The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity revolves around the mind. Through Gemini we process our ‘lower mind’ and through Sagittarius we process the "higher mind". Gemini uses common sense, intellect and reason while Sagittarius persuades us to think in an extensive, open minded and expansive way. Sagittarius needs to explore outwards whilst Gemini is quite comfortable staying at home and allowing all the information to come to them. With an eclipse we are encouraged to find the balance. A full moon Lunar eclipse insists that purge any energy that has been building inside of us and in this case it all relates to interaction, perspective and our approach to taking risk and exploring new horizons. 

What we find out about ourselves may be profound and emotional and we should become aware of what is missing although whatever we become aware of isn’t really new. Although this can be difficult it can push us forward into making positive changes. 

This eclipse is part of a series of eclipses that fall along the Gemini/Sagittarius axis. 

This Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon square Mars and when Uranus turns direct from being retrograde and is stationary in Pisces. Uranus gives us our Awakenings. It provides us with positive transformation regardless of the disruption and trouble that may also arrive along with it. Pisces provides us with the intuition from the high mind and allows the flow of compassion and love to manifest in the real world. We have to be mindful that we shouldn’t become too reliant on any forms of escapism at this time try to live in the present moment. It’s so easy to become lost over the next few months.

In December 1965, December 1973, and December 1992, a Lunar Eclipse fell in Gemini at a similar degree as this December 2011 eclipse. It might be helpful to think back to issues in your life that were in effect at those times (in the weeks and even months surrounding these dates) in order to get an idea of how this 2011 Lunar Eclipse might affect you.

Happiness is always within your grasp if you reach out for it. Communicate what you want out of life and take action to get it, don't sit around waiting for it to come to you. When things are hard work don't get distracted away from your goal, keep focused. Transcend any limitations by discarding anything that you don't really need. Be truthful and realistic with yourself, use the skills and talents that you know work and take you forwards in life. xx

The energies today can produce intense, jealous feelings within relationships. You may feel obsessed with someone else but this doesn’t mean a relationship could work, there are complicated subconscious drives at work that could make someone else seem more enchanting. 

Try not to use any underhanded manipulative ways (such as guilt trips) against a current partner now, as it will only break down any bond that you have. (Venus conjunct Pluto) x

Take a leap of faith when you are thinking of loved ones that aren't with you any more. Instead of keep questioning what happens when we die try to feel them near to you. Ask a loved one to come close to you to give you a sign that they are ok and that their energy is still with you. Ask them to show you something that you will understand - like maybe finding something of theirs that you thought you had lost or playing their song on the radio. We all have a natural ability to connect. If you can 'sense' a feeling that they are around you guiding, or helping you along then thank them - your intuition is correct - it is only you that knows how you 'feel' no-one else can know except you. Love does not understand physical barriers it exists through energy so open yourself to feel it and surrender yourself to something you may not have experienced before. x

Your imagination may be heightened today and you will be more aware of colour and beauty. Its a good day to visit places where you can really feel this and have an appreciation of it. You are likely to ignore the more negative aspects of relationships because you may feel more romantic and idealistic. Sometimes at this time people can be provided with a ‘karmic’ or ‘soul mate’ connection with someone else. It’s as if the person may be destined to be a part of your life in some way. This doesn’t happen often in other transits so be aware of your relationships and friendships as you may have something profound to give or receive. (Venus sextile Neptune) Also we have Mercury retrograde - During this usually three-week timeframe, everything connected with communication can be disrupted. Misunderstandings tend to occur as the usual aspects of writing, learning, and verbalisation can become disrupted. This is because during the ‘thinking’ time spontaneous expression is blocked in some way. HOWEVER, for some people, this retrograde actually has the opposite effect. New ideas, new speaking or writing abilities are often revealed in people especially in those who have Retrograde Mercury in their natal chart. For people who struggle to communicate sometimes this energy can be very helpful. Its like a very large intake of breath so that we can assimilate new mental concepts and visions.

Today there may be a heightened awareness of your own path and purpose. Any reformist, idealistic and humanitarian tendencies can find success through communication and sharing with others, and this can be important to your sense of well being. Share your commitment, enthusiasm and positivity by supporting others, or through transmitting these energies to help motivate group endeavours. (Sun trine Uranus)

Become involved with social pressure groups that are socially beneficial. You can become very committed to supporting causes that you have faith in, devoting time and energy to furthering the cause, and in being true to yourself and your personal beliefs. (Mars trine Pluto)

We all have to try to be more self reliant; there is a new powerful energy being given to the planet to help with this. This energy comes in the form of guides and spiritual teachers who have committed to help to create a new dawn. From now on try to keep only the things in life that are helpful. To be self reliant you need to be clear about your purpose and not have anything around you that no longer serves you. Only allow things in your life that feel natural, comfortable and loving. Release anything that stops you from being on your natural purpose.x

Its a time for learning and seeing things from another angle. If you have wants - try to appreciate all that you already have - its probably all that you really need at this moment in time. Send out love and thanks to the universe for everything that you have around you. Try not to be disappointed if things aren't going the way that you would like - there is always hope that things will get better. Act to make the changes that you need, but make sure that you are acting with integrity from the heart. Throw away the rule book and do whats right for you and your higher self.

So many people get so far in their lives and still wear masks and armour so that people don't see who they really are or in order to protect themselves. Doing this is a denial of love and stopping the enjoyment of living life to the fullest. You are your own creation, be proud of who you are - we all have made mistakes and have embarrassments and hurts, this is what makes us unique and provides opportunities for growth. Throw away the mask and REVEAL. I guarantee you will feel better. xx
