Astrology Notes: Mercury:

In Astrology, Mercury, is the planet connected to our thoughts and our communication… Gemini is ruled by this planet, which may explain their chattiness and hours spent on the phone…

Gemini in Mercury will exhibit a strong influence over the natal chart and will likely mean a quick mind and quick wit… words and thoughts may be continuous with a strong desire for variety.

A Taurus Mercury may indicate someone who is slow to think, or who insists on taking their time before making commitments, this does not always have a bearing on the mental capacity to learn, although it may cause some upset in childhood in the early school years. 

It is helpful to be aware of your children’s journey through school, especially during the younger years, if your child appears to be learning things at a slower pace, or is having difficulty in grasping a subject, try encouraging patience, and positive re-enforcement as he/she learns. Be prepared that you may need to assist your child in the beginning and a consultation with his/her teacher may be very beneficial. 

Because Mercury is the planet of communication, when he goes retrograde he can create some havoc in this area… In Astrology, going retrograde means the planet appears to be going backwards in the zodiac. 

Watch for mis-communications, important phone calls, text’s, emails missed, lost, received late, or the content misunderstood.

It is advisable to wait out the Mercury Retrograde before signing important papers or making long-term commitments, if this is unavoidable you are advised to read very carefully all the conditions relating to the signing or commitment. 

Those with Gemini in Mercury, Gemini Sun, or Gemini Moon may be affected more during a Mercury Retrograde.

The cutest little dog in Town…. Tiffany at the Pepsi Booth @ Woofstock 2012

This past weekend (June 9 and 10) was the annual Woofstock event in Toronto, Ontario. 

This event is the biggest dog “show” in the North America. Woofstock has vendors showcasing, doggie clothing, dog food, dog beds, buddy leashes, rescue workers and lots more, there are even doggie fashion and “trick” shows… 

It’s a fabulous event, where dogs of all shapes and sized come out with “mum and dad” to enjoy the day. The energy is amazing and everyone has a great time… There are lots of patio’s to sit on, where one can sit, drink eat and watch…. 

I am blessed with being able to attend this yearly event as I go with my sister and brother-in-law and their little “Star” Tiffany.

Tiffany is always a big hit, she is just too cute, and to top it off she is as patient as they come, as many, many hands pet her and lots of people take her picture…. Even City T.V. knows her!!! 

Tiffany is a 4-year-old Pomeranian, she is clipped back so she doesn’t have the normal look of a Pom, and she is full of “feel good” energy….

In the picture below Tiffy is with “dad” in the Pepsi Trailer at Woofstock…. and they are now entered into

Astrology Notes: The Moon

Our 2nd post in our Astrology Notes Series is about the Moon.

In Astrology, the moon relates to our emotional self, and as such it is more prominent when we are children, more so then our Sun sign. This is because as children we react to things emotionally, babies cry when they are hungry, tired or have a dirty diaper.

As we grow, we are “directed” by our parents, our schools and our society how we should behave. As this happens our moon sign begins to take a back seat and by the time we reach adulthood we have grown accustomed to “hiding” away our true feelings. 

 When we become involved in a long term relationship, work along side someone for a long time, or become firm friends with someone, we begin once again to allow our true feelings to surface…. This can sometimes cause conflict or upset, as two people try to figure out their own emotional self, while trying to understand the emotional self of the other. 

Our moon sign plays a very important part in our development and is a strong part of how we deal with life and what she has to offer both on a negative and positive level.

It is very important therefore, that our parents and caregivers have some understanding of our Moon nature. Working against our Moon sign while we are young can have devastating and long term effects on the person we become. While working with our Moon sign can help to build up our self-confidence and help us to be the best person we can be.  However, we must always be cautious not to encourage distruptive behaviour or to over inflate the Ego… 

History has long observed the effects on the human race when the moon is full. It is handy, therefore to understand your moon sign as any effects the Full Moon emits will have a stronger effect on you when it falls in either your Sun Sign or Moon Sign.
