Today embodies all qualities of the water signs, such as intuition, emotional sensitibity, and artistic sensibility. Follow your dreams. Be good to yourself and everyone else. Note that we are 4 years from the beginning of the pandemic and just went through a time change to Daylight Savings. All of this can bring things up that make us more vulnerable. Enjoy your St Pat's Day (sensibly :) )</p><p>Monday ~ It's the last full day of Pisces birthdays this year (can vary year to year). It's also the final 'good' day to act on things that could be impacted by Mercury retrograde, such as major purchases, announcements and decisions. Mercury retrograde starts April 1st but we move into the pre-shadow this week. Cancer Moon with mixed aspects. Keep everyone's feelings in mind to avoid defensive reactions. Family matters may take precedence. Take care of things at home. Hire any contractors or other professionals such as landscapers. Buy the boat or paddle board if that's on your agenda, or wait until mid May. Today's color is Blue.</p><p>Tuesday ~ First part of the day, Cancer Moon aligns with Neptune and the Sun, the two who met in conjunction on Sunday. More about following dreams and tuning into your feelings and heart. Do not ignore your own emotions. They have messages. It's also a highly intuitive time. Avoid overriding your instincts. From 2:52 to 3:33 pm ET there's a short void Moon and Leo Moon follows. Leo Moon opposes Pluto. We are still getting used to this monthly cycle, so see how tonight feels to you. Be self aware in groups and relationships with friends. Observe your actions and responses in relationship to others. Sun moves to Aries just after 11 pm, ET, and Spring is here officially then! Today's color is Purple.</p><p>Wednesday ~ Leo Moon and Jupiter form a square in fixed signs. This speaks of stubborn streaks and things we are too obstinate or unyielding about. Yield often leads to growth and change. Is there something you could listen to more, some wise advice or some shift that would truly make things better for you, if you could allow yourself to become 'unstuck'? Also, look for areas where growth is called for generally and work through challenging information, studies, and even applications of some sort. Recognize what's worth the efforts. Today's color is Orange.</p><p>Thursday ~ Leo Moon with a variety of aspects that may favor communication and negotiations. There is a serious tone today as Saturn meets Venus & the Sun meets Pluto. I see hopefulness, yet also reasons to stay loyal, connected, and positive in the face of change and challenge. Some of this comes from within, such as the courage to face realities and accept our own roles and what responsibilities are ours as well. Pisces and Virgo, renew relationship commitments and promises. Aquarius and Leo, be realistic and expect intensity. Knowing this may help you be less reactive. Today's color is Gold. </p><p>Friday ~ Leo Moon across from Mars overnight could add to intensity, motivate action or instigate anger or competitiveness. Notice how this applies in your own life. Back down or amp up as needed for balanced interactions. Virgo Moon starts 3:42 am ET. Our relationship with fixing and trying to make things better will be obvious today. This may help with temporary solutions. If you're overdoing, can you see that too and moderate? We do need to let people be empowered by figuring things out on their own. In other words, try to be helpful yet not enable or steal their confidence. Wear Brown.</p><p>Saturday ~ Virgo Moon with varied aspects. Here's what I think you'll notice and find relevant. Emotional and relationship matters require compromise and willingness to listen and agree/problem solve. There are opportune moments related to both personal/emotional and to external/employment situations. Surprising changes lead to new possibilities to follow and consider. Find the opportunity or synchronicity even in something totally unplanned for. The Moon is close to Full and it's lunar eclipse time, so anything goes and sudden shifts are in the air. Today's color is Indigo.</p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-3239394941718484772024-03-08T08:49:00.002-05:002024-03-08T08:49:36.981-05:00NEW MOON IN PISCES ~ ASTROLOGY FOR MARCH 10TH-16TH, 2024Experience deeper healing through major changes<div>Try not to assume anything, including your own feelings</div><div>Engage in soul retrieval, inviting your whole self back</div><div><br /></div><div>Sunday, March 10th ~ New Moon in Pisces 5:00 am ET, just after Uranus was in sextile with the Moon, and hours before the Moon meets Neptune. There's a quality of rapid and surprising change that may affect us on an emotional and soul level. Believe in your dreams and avoid diminishing someone else's. Notice the magic in simple experiences as well as in extra-ordinary ones. This New Moon may bring unexpected opportunities of any sorts. Gemini may find it to be career oriented while Sagittarius may find this is about home life and family changes. Pisces, can you find a sense of opening and release of what's stuck or keeping you sad or dissatisfied. Where there is invitation, there are ways and responses. If there's an abrupt change, give yourself time to adjust and sort out your true feelings. At 8:19 pm ET, the Moon moves to Aries, aligning with Pluto and meeting Mercury. Decisions and clarity may come quickly. Today's color is White.</div><div><br /></div><div>Monday ~ Aries Moon, a continuation of last night's forecast. Re read Sunday. Venus moves to Pisces at 5:50 pm. It's a softer, sensitive and compassionate place for the planet of love. This also favors artists and creators of all kinds. Venus stays in Pisces until April 4th (and by then Mercury will be retrograde). Today's color is Pink.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tuesday ~ Aries Moon aligns with Mars at 7:00 am ET for a 'make it happen' kind of day. It's also a good day for an adventure with friends and active work in groups. Voif Moon 7:08 am to 8:28 pm ET and the Moon shifts to earthy Taurus and aligns with Venus for comfort and compassion. Ask for help or help out a friend. The Moon also squares Pluto, which may lead to some difficult reflection or realization. You may find your self thinking hard about something. Also try letting solutions come when you're not trying at all. In other words, step back and rest and see what manifests. Today's color is Brown. (I especially like the earth tone brown reds like terra cotta today)</div><div><br /></div><div>Wednesday ~ Taurus Moon meets Jupiter and aligns with Saturn. 3 words: Opportunity, Prosperity, Commitment. Green is today's color. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thursday ~ Light Blue is today's color. Taurus Moon meets activating Uranus, aligns with the Sun and Neptune in creative Pisces, and squares Mars in Aquarius. Autonomy will be appreciated and interference will not. Creative processes and building are favored. Group dynamic could be challenging. What does it feel like to follow your heart and if something is interfering, what is that and how could it be shifted gently? Void Moon 6:29 pm to 11:16 pm ET, and we move into Gemini Moon vibes focused on how we communicate. Light Blue.</div><div><br /></div><div>Friday ~ Gemini Moon with a variety of aspects. Reliability and clear communication are two things to focus on, as both a received and imparter of words, services and information. Saturn asks for emotional commitment and where that doesn't exist, extend awareness to what that means. Mercury in Aries aligns with the Moon for agreements and meetings of the minds. Wear Yellow.</div><div><br /></div><div>Saturday ~ Gemini Moon in harmony with Mars in Aquarius for a social day, great for events and active engagement. If you're not feeling outgoing today, find a placce to hide and write or read, two Gemini specialties. Have a party, do something spontaneous, get together on a special mission, and share stories and ideas today. Feed your soul with some good people energy. Wear Turquoise. </div><div><br /></div><div>Sunday, March 17th color is Light Green if you're planning ahead. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for reading and following along</div><div>I'm on air at <a href="http://www.wmpg.org" target="_blank">WMPG</a> Wed 2:30-4 pm each week and this week it'll be Irish inspired rock, of course.</div><div><br /></div>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-67411769084879577642024-03-04T10:32:00.001-05:002024-03-04T10:32:21.510-05:00Pisces Season & New Moon March 3rd-9th, 2024<p>New Moon Sound Bath with Rachel Rivera Sunday, March 10th 5:30-6:45 pm</p><p>Ocean St South Portland, Maine</p><p>Register at <a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes" target="_blank">Leaping Waters Aerial Yoga Spa</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Sunday~ Sagittarius Moon for travels, learning and studies of life and experience. Venus square Uranus could lead to relationship breakthroughs, either personal or in group dynamics. Effort is called for though, as this may not be an easy shift or lesson. Truth and trust are themes today. Our color is Purple.</p><p>Monday ~Sagittarius Moon square to Neptune, a monthly occurrence. Again, tune into trust and truth and use your instincts about people and situations. Something that comes across as questionable probably is. Mercury aligns with Uranus for a continuation of yesterday's potential breakthroughs, and takes it to the next level with meetings, conversations and possible solutions and agreements, including contracts and plans in place. Think out of the ordinary and try something quite different from before, if you are problem solving. Void Moon 10:41 am to 4:15 pm ET. Today's color is Blue, and the Moon shift to Capricorn at 4:15 pm ET for a productive and perhaps focused night. Work, study, clean, exercise and organize. </p><p>Tuesday ~ Capricorn Moon aligns with Jupiter, Saturn, and the Sun. This favors prosperity, employment and other life decisions, and getting things accomplished. You could get on a roll with both work and personal matters this week. It's a good time to do things before spring's Mercury retrograde next month. Wear Green today.</p><p>Wednesday ~ Capricorn Moon in harmony with Uranus overnight. This planet is the instigator for significant change, complete 180s and exactly what you didn't plan for or anticipate. Be willing to try new things and release old patterns and ways of thinking in order to grow. Mercury aligns with the Moon this morning, so this may relate to how you communicate and solve problems. Neptune also aligns for a good mix of earth and water sensibilities, both practical and backed by feeling. Void Moon 2:35 pm to 9:54 pm ET when the Moon enters Aquarius. Today's color is Silver.</p><p>Thursday ~ Aquarius Moon square to Jupiter in Taurus. Get past stubborn blocks and sense where yielding would really help a situation resolve. Simultaneously, stay true to your wisdom and beliefs. Be willing to work toward consensus and blend ideas that at first seem contradictory. Wear Light Green.</p><p>Friday ~ The Moon is waning toward dark Moon, the New Moon arrives on Sunday. This can be a time for rethinking and for release of the old and inviting new energy. Meditate and contemplate what you feel is best and most appropriate right now. See what needs to go in order for fresh energy to rush in. The Moon and Mars align, which is activating and that can go either way. Maybe it motivates or maybe it aggravates. Possibly, both feelings are present. Try not to over criticize and judge others. See where there are openings for working together and as teams. Uranus squares the Moon, again inviting more alternative or wild ideas and approaches, if you are willing to explore these. Mercury and Neptune signal a highly creative time. The shadow side is this could be deception, smoke and mirrors. Feel for what's true. The Moon and Venus meets in Aquarius for positive relationships and getting along. Void Moon from 1:56 pm to 8:03 pm ET, so get things done earlier in the day. Then consider relaxation and get togethers with friends. Wear Light Blue.</p><p>Saturday ~ Pisces Moon in conjunction with serious Saturn and in harmony with expansive Jupiter. Growth is favored, and commitment called for. Mars squares Uranus which for one thing can signal accidents or something volatile. Err on the cautious side. Earthquake or other storm could be a metaphor and the Tower tarot card comes to mind. The Sun and Uranus align, which leans this more positive and could lead to a surprising change and announcement of that news. New Moon is at 5:00 am ET on Sunday, and Daylight Savings time begins overnight as well. Today's color is Black.</p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-42169260208949406562024-02-24T19:35:00.005-05:002024-02-25T07:19:31.001-05:00FEBRUARY 25TH-MARCH 2ND, 2024 ~ PISCES TIME<p>Sunday, Feb 25th ~ Still in the Full Moon zone, the Virgo Moon aligns with Uranus for an anything can happen vibe. Do whatever is calming and feels like problem solving in the moment. The Moon will oppose Neptune overnight. Fulfill responsiblities to others and try not to avoid what's necessary. Today's color is Black.</p><p>Monday~ Virgo to Libra Moon with voif of course time from 2:35 to 9:29 am ET. Pluto aligns with the Moon, from Aquarius, giving today a self reflective aspect. Connect to inner wisdom and sensibility. Today's color is Purple.</p><p>Tuesday ~ Libra Moon aligns with planets in Aquarius for social and people oriented actions and activities. Meanwhile Mars and Jupiter square in the fixed signs, Aquarius and Taurus. This can be stubborn yet also point out where yield is needed. Give energy to prosperous opportunities. Avoid anger and stubbornness that could bring the opposite of what you truly want. Void Moon 1:22 pm ET, on. Wear Blue.</p><p>Wednesday ~ The Sun, Mercury and Saturn are all in conjunction, in Pisces. It's emotional, yet leads to decisions and agreements. Come to your senses and see the right path. Decisions may not be easy but notice how you know they are 'right'. Void Moon until 10:09 pm ET. It's a long one. Yield, change and settle are all words that feel relevant today. Wear Green.</p><p>Thursday ~ Scorpio Moon aligns with the Sun and planets that were in conjunction yesterday. Something may fall together will less angst or effort. It is highly emotional, however. Stay in touch with your feelings. Mercury and Jupiter are in harmony for decisions that feel both sensible and heart centered. Wear Indigo Blue.</p><p>Friday ~ Pisces Sun in harmony with Jupiter in Taurus adds to yesterday's Mercury/Jupiter sextile. Generous, compassionate with a touch of ambition, this aspect encourages growth, prosperity and loving relationships of all kinds. Good thing it balances some Scorpio Moon squares and oppositions. Those are the work, while the Sun and Jupiter add optimism and faith as well as gifts and opportunities for some of us. Look for unexpected, positive turns. Stay self aware if there's anxiety in the air. Differentiate between what's happening and what could be projected that may never actually occur. Void Moon 11:47 pm ET until 2:47 am. Today's color is Turquoise.</p><p>Saturday ~ Sagittarius Moon time begins at 8:56 am ET. The Moon aligns with Pluto for philosophical contemplation and action to back this. The big ideas and themes of life swirl around. Clarify your own attitudes, beliefs and feelings, to act on now or later. For some, this is an adventure day as Sag Moon has no other aspects. Note that Sunday looks very full, with planetary and lunar aspects charging things up. Enjoy something that takes you out of routine today. Wear Red.</p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-27233702831855503102024-02-15T13:08:00.003-05:002024-02-15T13:08:57.110-05:00ASTROLOGY FOR FEB 18TH-24TH, 2024 ~ FULL MOON IN VIRGO<p>Sunday, February 18th ~ Gemini Moon until 10:21 pm ET. Mercury & the Sun align with the Moon in air signs Aquarius and Gemini. Neptune is square to the Moon. We may feel expressive, social, outgoing and full of ideas or conversations.

The Moon is void of course for just 4 minutes and moves to Cancer at10:25 pm, followed by the Sun entering Pisces at 11:13 pm ET. Today's color is Blue.</p><p>Monday ~ Cancer Moon aligns with Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter in Taurus. Saving, investing, and making home and family more stable, secure and comfortable are all favored. It could feel good to stay close to home and somehow make things better there. Sow seeds and/or reap benefits. Work on anything due soon, such as anything coming to fruition by the end of the month. We are between New and Full Moon, a time for progress, a trait valued by Cancer, where the Moon is today.

Leo Moon favors a change of pace and things may continue to happen fast. The Moon opposes Pluto, Venus and Mars in Aquarius. Venus and Mars are to meet at 2:14 am ET tomorrow. Relationships are in focus and require attention. Some of that may be fun and it could feel like a second Valentine's Day for some partners or in new relationships. Make decisions together, as couple and also in groups or workplaces. Work with differences rather than seeing them as drawbacks. Share equally in every way. Wear Purple today.</p><p>Thursday ~ Leo Moon square to planets in Taurus. Things we have little or no control of may come up today. This could be frustrating. Notice where yielding or letting go of control could create more ease or peace for yourself. Creative differences can turn out to be beneficial, so give effort to compromise and opening to different ways of doing things. Venus and Mars meet in Aquarius highlighting all the ways we connect with each other. Positive connections are abundant now. Feel where you are drawn, belong, feel welcome and able to be your authentic self. Mercury is about to leave Aquarius.

Jupiter aligns with the Moon for prosperity and good luck. White is today's color. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi08DLM29G9VaxoQbM7AUsxMco43OTIUrVI5U64C6EJkyfl8mLqaMNm2jNH_HOgEymf8z8s2mSzvK7G8iiSsqJfqU-XiKPE7cD0z7ms0YO3wkmm01y_hnIF93fuKqbdYshqmfr17lW9Q3ofyeR30s294LfhCgjMf7Tw1oiv4CLvdV5RBk2FFIxfQQjRqw4/s1080/floating%20full%20moon%20yoga%20nidra%20(1).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi08DLM29G9VaxoQbM7AUsxMco43OTIUrVI5U64C6EJkyfl8mLqaMNm2jNH_HOgEymf8z8s2mSzvK7G8iiSsqJfqU-XiKPE7cD0z7ms0YO3wkmm01y_hnIF93fuKqbdYshqmfr17lW9Q3ofyeR30s294LfhCgjMf7Tw1oiv4CLvdV5RBk2FFIxfQQjRqw4/s320/floating%20full%20moon%20yoga%20nidra%20(1).png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy65BLJMrdHoA0IGopJ1IBqsgmAOuj56Ydu1uAPxLJ5v-O_I5d4GdCZsdJDnlN8KmY-bb1Qd2Tcg3DExivIVbihcxqZQLNqIc9iyRxkMF2GGaWeWwFCPsXIX90xhmcaocv9DdSdRJNadL3h2dFGvqlkara8ymaoFdN8KUeXgwPWIliqy93s4lIEEbyfkQ/s2000/Soundbath_rachel%20(3).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy65BLJMrdHoA0IGopJ1IBqsgmAOuj56Ydu1uAPxLJ5v-O_I5d4GdCZsdJDnlN8KmY-bb1Qd2Tcg3DExivIVbihcxqZQLNqIc9iyRxkMF2GGaWeWwFCPsXIX90xhmcaocv9DdSdRJNadL3h2dFGvqlkara8ymaoFdN8KUeXgwPWIliqy93s4lIEEbyfkQ/s320/Soundbath_rachel%20(3).png" width="247" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes" target="_blank"><b>sign up for workshops at www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes</b></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-20476316367025383012024-02-09T09:03:00.006-05:002024-02-12T07:45:00.573-05:00Astrology for Feb 11th-17th, 2024<p>Sunday ~ Pisces Moon in harmony with Venus and Uranus highlights what's new in the realms of love, creative collaboration, sense of beauty and emotional shifts. Tap into beauty, vulnerability, and romance. Wear Light Green today.</p><p>Monday ~ Overnight Pisces Moon with Neptune and fueled by Mars activates dreams including the ones you're building on a tangible level. Void Moon 7:32 am to 8:26 am before the shift to action oriented Aries Moon, aligning with Pluto for self awareness and self discovery. Notice what comes up on a personal and soul level. Act with that piece of wisdom or memory in mind. Today's color is Rose Red (the softer reds).</p><p>Tuesday ~ Aries Moon takes self awareness into consideration for clear communication today. Mercury aligns from Aquarius, highlighting group dynamics, clear thinking and honesty. Venus and Neptune are doing a different dance, in Capricorn/Pisces, more focused on love and making togetherness work. At 1:00 am ET, Mars shifts to Aquarius continuing themes of how we connect and make things happen, together, in groups and through networks. Today's color is Yellow.</p><p>Wednesday ~ Mars meets Pluto, and that may apply also to last night. Passion, strong urges and desires, deep feelings acted upon, and other Scorpio type traits and feelings are amplified. To watch out for: strong expressions of anger or overly competitive drive. To pursue: acting on deep wisdom, passion projects, strong connections that feel soulful. Aries Moon in harmony with the Sun and square to Venus. If there's conflict, we'll tend to speak our mind and work through resistance. Void Moon 5:21 am to 10:02 am ET. Taurus Moon follows with a mix of aspects that indicate working through those stubborn blocks and trying to get business and personal things resolved. The Moon grounds in to do list, responsibilities and emotional sensibilities tonigh, for doing and seeing what's realistic. Avoid excessive stubbornness. Wear Pink on this Valentine's Day for Taurus Moon, and know that Green works well today too.</p><p>Thursday ~ A day of opportunities as Taurus Moon meets expansive Jupiter, squares Mercury for negotitions and settling deals and interactions, and meets Uranus for the surprise ending or turn of events. Wear Blue.</p><p>Friday ~ Venus enters Aquarius at 11:05 am ET. Tis the season and cycle for joining groups, working on common vision, and creating beautiful and harmonious products and networks. This is prime time for team building, improving the quality of colleagial relationships, and planning large gatherings, festivals, and other celebrations, particulary those focused on 'togetherness' and connectedness. Taurus to Gemini Moon at 2:39 pm after about 4.5 hours void of course. Let today have a slow, unpressured start if possible. Sit with any stuck feelings or roadblocks and see if they dissolve and transform as Gemini Moon aligns with Venus, Pluto and Mars in Aquarius. The Aquarius energy is strong and magnificent today and may help us feel more social, collaborative and outgoing. Tonight, Mercury squares Uranus and it could be hard to find the right way to communicate and express. Avoid blurting things out without forethought. Today's color is Turqoise.</p><p>Saturday ~ Venus meets Pluto in Aquarius. This could feel new and different! The two met on January 1st, 2023, yet in a different place & energy. Our desire to belong, be accepted and be loved intensifies or comes into the forefront. We may realize something regarding love and the depths of our feelings. A deep appreciation for where and with whom we feel welcomed and valued is highlighted. Some could lean into obsession about these themes/topics. Notice if your behaviors go over the boundaries. Find healthy ways to express love and gratitude for others in your life. Gemini Moon's monthly Saturn square is today and often involves antsiness about commitments or obligations. Explore your feelings around spoken or unspoken agreements and see if any changes are needed to create more comfort or more ability to follow through. Today's color is Purple.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZLh-00tm5osf2dNYWg-hm8P9d21vXC5PgYi7lBVeo9rsjwZtoRlHnsBMD1arR-65YyP2xzZ8M2SO4bMAmfSx3LuNMVP_ajY-6AszR83gzDp7lF7aJC_TqEo3iSf57sKPTljq6Ail2SMtQ2Z4bQyAPLeIICkGjqmyE5175JmW6oDdT4H9XxOX5d7iCrpE/s1080/floating%20full%20moon%20yoga%20nidra%20(1).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZLh-00tm5osf2dNYWg-hm8P9d21vXC5PgYi7lBVeo9rsjwZtoRlHnsBMD1arR-65YyP2xzZ8M2SO4bMAmfSx3LuNMVP_ajY-6AszR83gzDp7lF7aJC_TqEo3iSf57sKPTljq6Ail2SMtQ2Z4bQyAPLeIICkGjqmyE5175JmW6oDdT4H9XxOX5d7iCrpE/s320/floating%20full%20moon%20yoga%20nidra%20(1).png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-28740690421671256602024-02-02T15:40:00.002-05:002024-02-02T15:40:18.607-05:00Aquarius New Moon Feb 3rd-10th, 2024<p>Sunday ~ The Moon enters Sagittarius at 1:28 am ET and aligns with Pluto, two signs away, in Aquarius. Pluto is the planet of death, rebirth, sexuality, and undercurrents including the subconscious. There's some Phoenix like energy in the air and that may raise things that were buried or thought dead to the surface. Today is fire element, fueled by air, the sstuff of dreams put into action. Saturn is square to the Moon, for mixed emotions and maybe some struggle around authority or mastery. Mercury is on the threshold of Aquarius. Whatever has to change may become very obvious. Today's color is Turquoise Blue.</p><p>Monday ~ Mercury is innovative and forward thinking in Aquarius. The shift happens at 12:10 am ET. Mercury meets Pluto for inner wisdom and connection with larger groups we bleong to and affiliate with. The Moon remains in and moves through Sagittarius, a sign that appreciates movement and variety. The Moon and Sun are in harmony and we may feel like joining, getting together, and coming out of hibernation. Read Tuesday for more about tonight. Today's color is Purple.</p><p>Tuesday ~ The Moon and Neptune have their monthly 'should I stay or should I go' square. This may not be very decisive and leans toward escaping responsibilities. It affects Monday night more than Tuesday as it happens at 12:06 am ET. Void Moon from then to 7:08 amET.Capricorn Moon in harmony with Capricorn's ruler Saturn at 7:18 pm. This tends toward decisive, productive and sensible.Jupiter and the Moon are in harmony for building and getting important and valuable things done. Today's color is Green.</p><p>Wednesday ~ There's lots of harmony in the heavens today, with Moon in Capricorn aligned with Uranus and Neptune and meeting Venus. Venus is also in trine with Uranus. Relationship news could be eventful. You may hear of engagements and new cohabitation. This can also be creative and relate to brilliant plans setting in motion. Mars in Capricorn in harmony with Neptune is also highly creative and could favor music and film makers among other things. When things are in ease like this, sometimes other things that are not quite as welcome happen readily too. So if something has been just barely hanging on or hanging in, it could fall apart as it was destined to. Today's color is Light Blue.</p><p>Thursday ~ The Moon meets Mars overnight calling for action and constructive approaches. We are now moving toward New Moon. The action could be releasing old indeas in favor of what's more of this time and changing scenarios. Void Moon 2:52 to 8:59 am ET, and these hours may be wobbly or uncertain. Stay grounded. The Aquarius Sun squares Uranus and starts the day at 5:46 am ET. Evolution and revolution are in the air. We'll tend to resist or witness others resisting the norm, the usual and the expected. The Moon meets both Mercury and Pluto. Bigger, different and wild ideas take shape and yet, they may feel like things you should've always known. Tap into inner wisdom and intuition. Today's color is Silver.</p><p>Friday ~ Aquarius Moon continues and New Moon arrives at 5:59 pm, which begins the void of course Moon time.The Moon squares Uranus for more of yesterday's themes including alternative and cutting edge plans, ideas and launches. Lunar New Year is tomorrow also. Today indicates a threshold and a crossing into new territory. Wear White. </p><p>Saturday ~Pisces Moon time starts at 8:42 am ET. Jupiter and Saturn fuel this Pisces Moon so it may be very productive, fertile, abundant, and wise. This looks like a day of decisions, news and things coming together. Wear Green today.</p><p>New Moon Sound Bath Sunday, Feb 11th 4-5 pm </p><p>Sign up at <a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes">www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes</a></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-27570705450510032302024-01-25T13:05:00.003-05:002024-01-25T13:06:32.072-05:00Uranus Direct ~ Innovation & Evolution January 28th~ February 3rd, 2024<p>Hope this helps set your daily tone & encourages balanced interactions and actions</p><p>There's an awful lot going on in the world. Robin's Zodiac Zone focuses on our daily life and the fluctuations of the heavens. Of course there are also broad and long term evolutions and revolutions, & to me Uranus Direct and Pluto changing signs feels like that. Practice steadying in an ever changing and often chaotic world.</p><p>I'm offering Restorative Yoga & Sound Bath on Thursday, Feb 1st 6:00-7:15 pm at Leaping Waters along with my usual schedule</p><p>Friday evening February 1st 5:30-6:30 pm I'm at <a href="http://www.greenerposturesyoga.com" target="_blank">Greener Postures</a> for my monthly Yoga Nidra.</p><p>Both help us with human challenges, both physical and emotional</p><p><a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com">www.leapingwatersyoga.com</a> is my studio website with much more to see and consider</p><p><br /></p><p>Robin</p><p><br /></p><p>Sunday~ Virgo Moon aligns with Venus, and Jupiter. Venus and Jupiter form a trine too, which is auspicious for timing anything relationship or finance related. Mercury in Capricorn aligns with Uranus in Taurus and wild ideas and communication exchanges take place. Plans may be going down a different and unusual path. Once someone said "go crazy, get lucky" in regard to promoting and marketing in a meeting I attended. They were a consultant in media (and this was a long time ago, like 25-30 years!). That phrase always stuck with me and I think it's just right for today's vibe. Our color is Pink.</p><p>Monday ~Virgo Moon is "all happy" with Mars and Mercury in Capricorn, same earth element, and also with Uranus, a planet that seems to be playing a big part these days. Uranus is revolution, radical, and paradigm shifting, sometimes also shocking and accidental. Experiment with something and see where it takes you. Try not to be complacent or overly traditional. Neptune opposes the Moon reminding us of magic and the non linear and non earthly tonight. Mars and Uranus form a trine though, and it's a reminder to use some caution with the unfamiliar, including people. Avoid aggression in all it's forms and move mindfully (ie...avoid falls or crashes). Void Moon 6:20 pm ET and that's the start of an extra safe mindset. Wear navy Blue.</p><p>Tuesday ~ Moon to Libra at 3:04 am ET. Libra Moon aligns with Pluto. This is a cycle we'll experience every month now, while Pluto is in Aquarius. It may encourage how we work together and get together. Notice parts of others reflected in your self and vice versa. Maybe this softens some edges between us. I'll be watching and feeling how this aspect evolves and what seems to be connected to it. Tonight, the Moon squares Venus in Capricorn and it's an opportunity to confront and maybe resolve a relationship difficulty or midunderstanding. Be willing to do your part, the whole half. Today's color is Lavender.</p><p>Wednesday ~ Libra Moon aligns with the Sun in Aquarius overnight. Both signs are externally focused when it comes to other people. You may notice your interest in a person, group or human behavior sparks and is heightened this week. Sense your place in the world and in groups. Later, the Moon squares Mars, and this could feel emotionally or interpersonally difficult where rules, laws, or breaches of contract are involved. Also, relationship matters may be activated and require work, effort and yielding (though that might not be easy to accomplish). Today's color is Blue.</p><p>Thursday ~ And overnight, like a continuation, the Moon squares Mercury and conversations really need to be had if they're brewing and pending. This energy of holding back or feeling conflicted must be released. It may also be time for a hard decision. Void Moon 4:03 am to 3:37 pm ET. I'm not sure how this will play out, but things could feel sort of off or out of balance or lost today. After 3:37 pm, the Scorpio Moon roots in immediately with a stubborn but deeply focused square to Pluto, Scorpio's planet. All Scorpio type traits, especially the emotional, internal, and compulsive or persistent ones, characterize this evening and late day. Be aware people may need their space. Black is today's color.</p><p>Friday ~ IMBOLC indicates the increasing return of light and the stirring of life below the earth's surface. It's meant to be a time of promise. We call it Groundhog Day. Scorpio Moon contrast this focus on light, as Scorpio is like the deepest of oceans. Mercury aligns with Neptune and this feels beautifully creative and productively intuitive. The Moon has a varied mix of aspects. One thing that generally seems to apply ~ say it and do it like you really mean it. Commit to something, someone, and even yourself, Persist with what's truly worth your energy. Don't give in to external pressure too readily. Maintain your ideals. Today's color is Indigo.</p><p>Saturday ~ Scorpio Moon and effects continue through almost all of this day and night. Uranus opposes the Moon which can be breakthrough energy, yet can also startle us. Mars & Neptune both align with the Moon adding intensity, call to action, and also creative drive. Finally, Mercury and the Moon form a harmonious sextile which instigates deep conversations and interactions. Secrets may be revealed. Void Moon from then on, at 10:24 pm ET, and 3 hours later the Moon will move to Sagittarius. Today's color is Purple.</p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-10223492756370409442024-01-19T15:19:00.003-05:002024-01-19T15:19:37.821-05:00Aquarius Season & Leo Full Moon ~ Astrology for January 21st-27th, 2024<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvQBKl6Fyw8GdwjdlpiahbuS1n58FzAUAP8HraQLB2xDAJSX-wgDbljgBI7XaNgEGIwpCewxxRDlrr2hkpKaJdrTeg-4HmV8flCWVT22qwdh-i2X0xxVL6ONYmvNJyPdYL6y48J9zD2vkukbZAY2D15hQo6wusNBFqPJHlxlbacztkfsjZP_kdn-Uk9kk/s1080/floating%20full%20moon%20yoga%20nidra%20(6).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvQBKl6Fyw8GdwjdlpiahbuS1n58FzAUAP8HraQLB2xDAJSX-wgDbljgBI7XaNgEGIwpCewxxRDlrr2hkpKaJdrTeg-4HmV8flCWVT22qwdh-i2X0xxVL6ONYmvNJyPdYL6y48J9zD2vkukbZAY2D15hQo6wusNBFqPJHlxlbacztkfsjZP_kdn-Uk9kk/s320/floating%20full%20moon%20yoga%20nidra%20(6).png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">come try yoga nidra this month!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com" target="_blank">www.leapingwatersyoga.com</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sunday, Jan 21st ~ Aquarius time just began, and we are heading for a Full Moon this Thursday. Gemini Moon with no significant aspects to other heavenly bodies today. Read, converse, write, study, travel to see a friend or family a short distance away, and open your mind. Become aware of everyday things in new or different ways. Express yourself. Wear Blue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Monday ~ Gemini Moon squares Neptune and opposes Venus. Relationships may be in our mind and cause distraction from other things. It could be hard to concentrate, other than on sorting out personal matters. In various ways, we may feel like 'getting away'. Ask for some space as needed. Cancer Moon moves in after a void Moon time from 3:40-4:51 pm ET. A change of vibe. Emotional, yes, but if comfort can be found in simple things, like a nice dinner, we may feel soothed. Have healthy emotional outlets today. Wear White.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tuesday ~ Venus moves to Capricorn at 3:50 am ET. This is a nesting type place for Venus. Love may become focused on commitment and tradition than on adventurous flings or speed dating. Also, focus may center on how to be a positive influence and bring harmony to the workplace and larger organizations and structures. Venus in Capricorn could be a sculptor or a really generous boss. Cancer Moon today with two oppositions, to Mercury and Mars in Capricorn. Well,this might not be the day the boss feels generous. Plenty of negotiating and production feels more like it. Do what you said you would do and avoid yesterday's escapism or plan to answer for it. Jupiter and Saturn also align with the Moon, encouraging prosperity, sensible business decisions, and serious work ethic. Wear Black.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wednesday ~ Cancer Moon aligns with Uranus and Neptune. This makes me wonder if strange occurrences will be part of our day. Something that seems out of the blue, very imaginative, or quite shocking or stunning could be one of the effects. Work creatively. Look for breakthroughs in family related matters. Go walk or otherwise spend time at the water, like rivers and ocean fronts. Step out of the ordinary for a while. Void Moon 5:58 pm ET, until 2:37 am ET. And Full Moon is at 12:54 pm Thursday so all the Full Moon feelings are in the air. Today's color is Light Blue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thursday ~ White is today's Full Moon color and I also like Gold for this Leo Full Moon. It's the Moon's first opposition with Pluto while in Leo and Aquarius. One thing this could do is take our attention to our place in groups and in the entire collective. It's a more extroverted place for Pluto, a planet known for depth and reflection. So we now reflect on the whole, humanity and our role here. Leo Moon is generous and centered in feel good and playfulness as well as altruism. Stubbornness may be obvious, though I think this Full Moon could be a bit brighter and more hopeful than some. See if there's a stuck place or idea you'd be best off letting go of. Consider others as well as yourself. Stand in the moonlight aware that we all stand and sleep under the same sky. Light a white or gold candle for your intentions. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday ~ Leo Moon, just past Full, squaring Uranus in Taurus. Taurus is also Jupiter's home right now and we had the lunar square with Jupiter yesterday. This sign of employment, land, earth, real estate and possessions highlights things of material nature. It might be time to up and leave that job that's destroying your soul or time to make a change of lifestyle that surprises other people, but it's about being true to yourself and your truth. Matters of abundance, comfort, prosperity and security come up for decision and contemplation. Void Moon 4:19 pm on. Today's color is Purple.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Saturday ~ Now the Sun squares Jupiter, from Aquarius. More about employment, security and stability on this planet and your place and experience in that. If you made a decision this week, today may be the day you make it public knowledge. Notice where resistance or blocks arise. Are you supported by people you know, or do they have differing agendas. We may be tested or challenged to see if we hold our ground. Be aware of pleasing others rather than doing what you feel is best for yourself. Jupiter stations direct just minutes after this square, at 2:35 am ET. Next, Mercury meets Mars in Capricorn for meetings, discussions and figuring out 'how to', the actions. The Moon is void of course Friday night and all day until 2:11 pm ET. Virgo Moon with no aspects. Get into routine, take care of physical and mental well being. Ground. Full Moon effects diminish now. Uranus is now direct as of 2:35 am ET. Clarity is increasingly likely, where answers have been overshadowed or colored by the past. Today's color is Indigo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-58779171142857010632024-01-12T10:24:00.001-05:002024-01-12T10:24:31.294-05:00Capricorn to Aquarius Shift ~ Robin's Zodiac Zone Jan 14th-20th, 2024<p>Buy me a coffee?

A productive and constructive day is favored. Make an emotional commitment, work on your most important projects, and get centered in the new lunar cycle. Wear dark, pine green. </p><p>Monday ~ Pisces Moon engages with four more planets today. All that is 'Pisces' is highlighted, and today we may even more easily find a creative flow or a general flow. Neptune, Pisces ruler, aligns with the Sun and meets the Moon, enhancing dreams, spiritual connections, and imagination. We may feel sensitive, yet compassionate. Void Moon 11:33 to 11:48 pm, just a handful of minutes. Aries Moon sets up the overnight and next 2 days. Wear Light Blue, perhaps transition to Red. Which makes more sense to you? Some may be entreched in the work of this Pisces Moon while others are ready for more extroverted actions (hence red maybe coming into play early for you?).</p><p>Tuesday ~ Red is today's actual color, with Aries Moon squaring Mercury and Mars. Game face on. Prepare to deal with whatever needs action and attention. Be ready to work through something, sharpen communication skills and have plans A & B in mind. There's also likely a need for compromise and listening. If you think you really know the answer, you may need to slow down and open to someone else's point of view or take on a situation. One thing's for sure, there's work to be accomplished now, and some is a final clean up after Mercury retrograde. Old business from late 2023 may be the topic of the day. It's time to decide and act in ways that move things ahead. What have you been sitting with, procrastinating about, or trying to push very hard with, to no end. That feels like today's agenda. Finalize something. Take the step. Feel into this with all your senses, not letting logic or emotion overrule. What's your shade of red, bold or softer? </p><p>Wednesday ~ Aries Moon squares the Sun in Capricorn, the quarter Moon time. I always think of this as progress and progression during each lunar cycle, but maybe especially when it's Aries and Capricorn involved. These are two of the cardinal signs, and they value movement forward and initiation. We might feel this as a little push or encouragement or maybe a stronger 'shove'. What is it that really shouldn't wait longer? That's likely to be the focus and decision making is what's called for. Venus aligns nicely with the Moon, from Sagittarius, also forward moving and fiery. Collaboration may be called for. Our sense of adventure or doing things new ways is sparked. Try something new or something old that's tried and true for you. Remember what has worked before, and also what did not. Avoid repeating what hasn't been effective. Today's color is Yellow.</p><p>Thursday ~ Aries Moon squares Pluto. Contemplation and a pause could have us thinking or analyzing, going over things in the mind, maybe overnight or first thing today. There's another short void of course Moon this week, from 3:03 to 3:12 am ET, and the Moon moves to Taurus. Mercury aligns with Saturn for communication around agreements or contracts, with an emotional tone. The Moon also aligns with Saturn, the planet of maturity, responsibility, the crone and father time. Dealing with elder issues or family matters makes sense. Or maybe it's time to connect with elders, learn more about your origins, and listen, really listen. The Moon meets Jupiter for prosperity and abundance and aligns with Mercury for long term agreements and effects of today's actions and conversations. Notice what's taking hold. Tonight, Mars also aligns with the Moon for productivity and projects. Today's color is Blue.</p><p>Friday ~ Mercury and Jupiter form a trine. It feels like a culmination of all that might be in play all week long including contracts, important discussions, plans for more abundance and prosperity, business and also learning and education. A positive plan for HOW to go about something can be the result of working with this trine. Venus squares Neptune and we can seek beauty, romance and harmony, yet without over romanticizing or being unrealistic. Notice the difference. Taurus Moon meets Uranus. This feels like another storm coming from and within the earth. It could be literal or metaphorical, but this lunar cycle that started just over a week ago is full of storms, catalysts and the energy of Uranus saying things must not stay as they are. Sometimes it's a full blown tornado that leads to the reconstruction. Today's color is Green.</p><p>Saturday ~ The Sun changes signs at 9:07 am ET and Aquarius time for 2024 begins. The Sun and Pluto also meet in Capricorn first. People are talking about Pluto's move to Aquarius and 2024 and what that might mean. Without getting deep into that now, I feel this is part of the parting, a precursor, soem of the last effects of Pluto entrenched in Capricorn meeting the Sun. Intensity, power, personal power, and deep insight can all be part of this today. The Moon aligns with Pluto, adding the emotional and inner aspecct. We may get great insight or have those life changing moments. Several other aspects are working today, but Moon/Sun/Pluto overarch it all. It's another time for breakthrughs and they may be the kind where clarity is suddenly available and informs everything you think and do next. Today's color is Turquoise.</p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-66785022685817558142024-01-05T08:34:00.005-05:002024-01-05T08:34:59.094-05:00New Moon in Capricorn ~ Astrology for January 7th-13th, 2024<p>Join me for a gentle, heart centered yin yoga class with reiki and crystals Tuesday 6 pm</p><p>Register at <a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes">www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes</a></p><p>And browse my other classes to see if something else calls to you</p><p>Thanks for supporting Robin's Zodiac Zone & my small business </p><p>Happy New Moon week!</p><p>Robin<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-NPZqNynvIRaxS34mHcysGzmns_NsuhVS-eoN40m8Ml02c7fIsoKDpjWbcTTgnvyRTxc6pSB9u14kHQutA2Vkz5eFDLSbDcU0rhbn8OlnLaDEpKAWIt-4hvbkhKqWyclmJzGLD-Mo-OBXJnpoVeeec-g9fIkKFoITmv_qY0Robr8RxeriqX1diTT8414/s1080/yinreiki.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-NPZqNynvIRaxS34mHcysGzmns_NsuhVS-eoN40m8Ml02c7fIsoKDpjWbcTTgnvyRTxc6pSB9u14kHQutA2Vkz5eFDLSbDcU0rhbn8OlnLaDEpKAWIt-4hvbkhKqWyclmJzGLD-Mo-OBXJnpoVeeec-g9fIkKFoITmv_qY0Robr8RxeriqX1diTT8414/w400-h400/yinreiki.png" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz8M6L6ZX6zSwHGm3XA_B_pGx_Olsnmv8LOfpaP5Rdo7zXmAGI_KoEGeU1wbCla0Cpziu4IALHe-_s_zWTvHW6j02l7u57iRIvDA6N9GuUv2B3oge4LmhyCk9oh29flGJQWR_4ImMpwPrpgPWbaaZ7NvMya39Fg_tJweUGgmqUconoYkAOPcw1RSRSBfs/s2000/Restorative%20Yoga%20with%20Reiki%20%20(3).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1428" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz8M6L6ZX6zSwHGm3XA_B_pGx_Olsnmv8LOfpaP5Rdo7zXmAGI_KoEGeU1wbCla0Cpziu4IALHe-_s_zWTvHW6j02l7u57iRIvDA6N9GuUv2B3oge4LmhyCk9oh29flGJQWR_4ImMpwPrpgPWbaaZ7NvMya39Fg_tJweUGgmqUconoYkAOPcw1RSRSBfs/w285-h400/Restorative%20Yoga%20with%20Reiki%20%20(3).png" width="285" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Sunday, Jan 7th ~Scorpio Moon until 4:08 pm ET. Delve into a project or topic of interest and passion. Explore creativity, dreams, the tarot, and other oracles as the Moon aligns with Neptune and Pluto and it's natural to seek insight. Void Moon 3:22 to 4:08 pm. Sagittarius energy whirls in to shift us toward more action. Learning and studies or other investigation may be necessary today or tonight as well. The Moon and Saturn square and emotional responsibilities come up for contemplation. Observe your attachments and commitments and consider is there anything to be changed. Are you being honest with yourself? Wear or incorporate Purple.</p><p>Monday ~ Sagittarius Moon aligns with Venus and Mercury squares Neptune. Today's topics and things to consider are relationships, reality vs rose colored glasses, and again, honesty. Are you or someone else avoiding an important relationship discussion or representing something other than the truth and true feelings? Sagittarius Moon today also favors travels. Use a map today. Wear Turquoise.</p><p>Tuesday ~ Waning Moon in Sagittarius, moving to Capricorn at 8:33 pm ET. New Moon approaches for Thursday. During this dark Moon time, reflect and reconsider. Review any intentions and see if they're relevant or need revision or aren't really reflective of your heart's desire. Yesterday's forecast 100% still applies. The Sun trine to Uranus activates and favors the element of surprise as well as being out of usual routines or environments. Go for a change of scenery. Void Moon 7:07 to 8:33 pm (look at those numbers!) Mars aligns with Saturn and this appears to be about learning lessons and tapping into wisdom. Anchor in the part of you that knows the sensible route. Emotionally, tonight could be challenging if you're facing a difficult lesson. Also, persistence and motivation may increase. Some will push through something hard or tap into endurance. Wear Black.</p><p>Wednesday ~Capricorn Moon aligns with governing planet Saturn for an emphasis on responsibilities, commitments and taking a lead. Mars and the Moon are in conjunction, emphasizing productivity, action, and confidence (which could overflow to boldness or pushiness, hopefully not bullying bu maybe watch out for that). These aspects could apply to yesterday also. Jupiter and the Moon favor prosperity, growth, and learning how to do things. Make today a practice and learning time. Wear Green.</p><p>Thursday ~ Capricorn New Moon at 20 degrees. The Sabian symbol for this degree is a Relay Race. This implies competition as well as team work. See if it relates to your current circumstances. Try to have a supportive team and not try to win the race alone. Uranus aligns from Taurus. This is the only planet retrograde right now. Delayed and overdue things may come through. Answers may be surprising or take us off guard. Changes in leadership could be part of this. Neptune aligns and Pluto meets the Moon today, reflecting earlier days of this week in terms of self discovery, creativity and intuitive insights. Things may become more clear now or soon. Void Moon 9:33 to 10:01 pm ET. Aquarius Moon follows. Wear White.</p><p>Friday ~ Mars and Jupiter align at 5:42 am ET. This feels positive and inspiring. Go for the new job or role. Take action on what you want and particularly for prosperity. The Moon squares Jupiter and a sensible approach is called for, even where strong feelings or opinions are involved. Decide what's worth holding on to or better to let go of, including ideas. Aquarius Moon always relates to friendships and collaborations. Take your place on a team you can align with. Today's color is Blue.</p><p>Saturday ~ Aquarius Moon squares Uranus for breakthroughs. Sometimes you need to be open to what comes andlet go of a preconceived or olderway of thinking. This could very well be relevant now, during this New Moon cycle. More alternative and more different are in, today. Mercury, recently retrograde, stationed direct on January 1st and now moves back to Capricorn. It's clean up and clear up time for another week or so. Void Moon 4:59 am to 10:29 pm ET. Do what you have to do to be organized and not forget something important (including someone!) Today's color is Silver.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-17003956090707720782023-12-29T15:28:00.006-05:002024-01-04T10:44:26.900-05:00MERCURY RETROGRADE ENDS ~ DECEMBER 31ST- JANUARY 6TH, 2024<p> I have a 6 week series of yoga for core strengthening, with yoga tune up ball rolling to massage the body and restorative postures to close class</p><p>Thursdays 9:00 am Jan 4th-Feb 8th Yoga Tone & Tune Up</p><p>Leaping Waters is at 146-148 Ocean St in the Mill Creek area of South Portland</p><p><a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com" target="_blank">www.leapingwatersyoga.com </a>click on the schedule to sign up</p><p><br /></p><p>Sunday, Dec 31st 2023 ~The Moon moves to Virgo at 6:53 am ET, squares Venus in Sagittarius, opposes Saturn in Pisces and aligns with Jupiter in Taurus. Business type activity & practical matters are favored while personal and emotional life may be more complex or strained. Balance personal interactions by listening, asking for what you need, and avoid passive aggression. NYE festivities of a more moderate, cozy version are favored. Wear Brown and copper shades for festivity!</p><p>Monday ~ Virgo Moon. Mercury stations direct in Sagittarius at 10:08 pm ET. Let today be somewhat quiet and unpressured. Tend to your body with gentle care, careful diet, and shift in habits. Virgo is the sign of routines, and today you may want to start different ones. With waning Moon, let something go. The Moon and Sun are in harmony in earth signs, physical and grounding. Welcome back healthy habits and rituals. Venus squares Saturn and interpersonal matters may be complicated for some. Effort could lead to agreement and compromises and concessions are required to make it happen. Uranus aligns with the Moon tonight, and it's best not to overreact if something unusual takes place. Give yourself a moment or a night to sleep on it. Today's color is Green.</p><p>Tuesday ~ Virgo to Libra Moon and the Virgo Moon has a variety of aspects. Problem solving appears to be a key element and that may include personal matters, changes of schedule and plans, handling anger if it's present, and redoing what needs revision after Mercury retrograde. Void Moon 6:36 to 7:47 pm ET. Libra Moon aims for peace and balance this week. Wear Light Blue.</p><p>Wednesday ~ Tune in for Robin's Zodiac Zone on WMPG FM, 2:30-4 pm. This is my permanent time for 2024. Email me a question or a topic and I'll answer some on the air. I may not get to reply to everyone, so please tune in online or on the radio at 90.9. The Moon and Venus are in harmony today, for travels especially with a friend or loved one, and for good feelings emong us and sharing of ideas and excitement around plans. The Sun and Moon square so there may be indeciveness, and that's ok since Mercury isn't moving yet anyway :) . Today's color is Pink.</p><p>Thursday ~ Mars shifts to Capricorn, a physical sign and a sign of organization, structure and accomplishment. This can light a fire for productivity and moving steadily forward. Reorganize. Libra Moon in harmony with Mercury in Sag, newly direct. Consider future plans, travel itineraries, and anyting involving legal matters, judgment calls, and justice. Make a fair, balanced agreement. Today's color is Red.</p><p>Friday ~ Libra Moon squares Pluto as the day begins, 6:41 am ET. Something may feel pressing and require a decision. Tune into your inner knowing and wise judgment. It might not be the easiest decision or may require a challenging step. Void Moon just from then until 7:39 am ET. Scorpio Moon and energy takes over. Things remain intense and require action as the Moon aligns with Mars in Capricorn and Saturn in Pisces. We may need to answer, fess up, or do a reality check. Mysteries may be solved. Jupiter is across from the Moon tonight saying do not overdo it or an emotional hangover could take over. Be emotionally aware. Today's color is Indigo.</p><p>Saturday ~ Scorpio Moon aligns with the Capricorn Sun, for getting things done, organizing and sorting both physical things and feelings. Be careful, again, to avoid the emotional hangover or overreaction as Uranus opposes the Moon. It can be either wildly passionate and beautiful or crazy angry and vengeful. Whatever's felt will be felt strongly. Take care of your emotional well being. Draw boundaries if needed, to self protect. Today's color is Black.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV66MJMh5O2DUJn0mjqP1dUnHaSzB7qyBA67k12IDEaCm0RXELc93iq9ZfuILSw_rSdriLYKQgQJCgSgmgC6QbHD2Um9Ha_Hq8PeEwmqMcd5mRNZ0huMF0kBKBdjrMio8wHgVkEUduVFRPRwSrXvC3_QuSSmSXMhYGgygitiCNxVI15M4bLezvfv16N1c/s1080/yinreiki.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV66MJMh5O2DUJn0mjqP1dUnHaSzB7qyBA67k12IDEaCm0RXELc93iq9ZfuILSw_rSdriLYKQgQJCgSgmgC6QbHD2Um9Ha_Hq8PeEwmqMcd5mRNZ0huMF0kBKBdjrMio8wHgVkEUduVFRPRwSrXvC3_QuSSmSXMhYGgygitiCNxVI15M4bLezvfv16N1c/w400-h400/yinreiki.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes" target="_blank">RSVP</a></b></h4><br /><p><br /></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-38404192882572343532023-12-22T09:27:00.002-05:002023-12-22T09:27:46.800-05:00FULL MOON IN CANCER & MERCURY RETRO IN SAGITTARIUS DEC 24TH-30TH, 2023<p>On New Years' Day, I am offering a Restorative Yoga with Sound Bath for the New Year 4:00-5:15 pm at Leaping Waters in South Portland</p><p><a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes" target="_blank">RSVP</a></p><p>Wishing you a low stress Christmas season. Watch out for Mercury, playing retrograde games in Sagittarius until January 1st</p><p>And Peaceful Full Moon December 26th in Cancer</p><p>Robin</p><p><br /></p><p>Sun, Dec 24th, 2023 ~ Taurus to Gemini Moon at 3:15 am ET. Saturn is the major influencer today, aligning with the Sun and squaring the Moon. Emotional challenges may pair with finding the energy and staminato get things done. This day appears edgy at first and more steady and/or ahppier as it goes on. With Gemini Moon through Christmas Day, alot of ideas and words flow and sometimes carelessly or too quickly. Think out what you really want to communicate before blurting it out. The Full Moon approaches for Tuesday and all is heightened and felt strongly. Blue is today's color.</p><p>Monday ~ Gemini Moon, and a quick reminder to speak thoughtfully and intentionally in all transactions and situations on Christmas Day. Venus trine to Neptune offers romance for the water and earth signs, especially Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus and Virgo. Mars opposite the Moon can be aggressive or argumentative or just too much going on. Find peaceful outlets and moments. Avoid anything controversial in conversation and avoid extra travels you don't really need to add on. Travel may be challenging and Mars' action could mean aggression on the road. The Moon is nearly Full. Wear/incorporate Gold.</p><p>Tuesday ~ Full Moon in Cancer at 7:33 pm ET. Gemini Moon begins the day and the Moon as well as this day generally, appears active and pranic, full of energy and uprising. Mercury retro opposes the Moon and travels may create stress and concerns as well as potential difficulty. If possible, stay in home zones and other familiar routes. Void Moon 8:45 am to 10:15 am. Cancer Moon trine Saturn and family things may happen or resolve more quickly and easily, even things of a serious nature. Commitment is a key word as is loyalty. Jupiter is the planet most influencing Full Moon, with Saturn a close second. Jupiter is about how to grow and heal in family, love and emotional senses, and that is this Full Moon's message and aim. Work with it to create a better and more loving or committed life with those you love and live with. I do like this Christmas and Full Moon for engagements and other important emotional decisions. Mercury retrograde feels more travel and communication oriented this week, and as long as words and feelings are communicated clearly, personal lives can thrive now! Today's color is White.</p><p>If you need a very relaxing break from eveything, come to Yin Yoga with Reiki on this Full Moon night at Leaping Waters, with Kristine Keegan Reiki Master <a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com">www.leapingwatersyoga.com</a></p><p>Wednesday ~ Mercury square to Neptune overnight, and be aware and careful of anything misleading, or scams, and deception of any kind. Live in your truth. Some will be called out on untruths or escapist tendencies. Be present for your life. Be open, but not overly accomodating and avoid enabling unacceptable behavior. The Sun and Jupiter form a beautiful trine that's helpful and encouraging for growth and productivity as well as prosperity. This could be a great business day where things come easily. Express your hopes and plans and let them develop from there. Clear debris and old thought patterns and begin to prepare for new things ahead. at 7:31 pm ET, Mercury meets Mars. This activates travel and education plans, yet also can lead to arguments or misunderstanding. Cancer Moon aligns with Uranus for night time surprises and reasons to change your outlook. Tonight is quite activated and could feel even more like Full Moon. Wear Light Blue.</p><p>Thursday ~ Cancer Moon aligns with Neptune for romance and dreams, and with Venus for love and family connections. The planets and Moon are heart and emotion centered. Today is about connections of deep and meaningful nature. Avoid taking anyone's feelings too lightly, including your own. Immerse in romance and magic. Mars squares Neptune challenging our illusions yet instigating adventure and imagination. Don't disregard your dreams. Instead, revist one! The Moon opposite Pluto is contemplative and seeks the true answers. The meaning of life may come up in your thoughts or decisions. Void Moon 5:57 pm ET, on. Leo Moon ahead at 7:23 pm, with more movement from the Full Moon zone. Today's color is Purple.</p><p>Friday ~ Commitement is an idea tha arises again this week as Venus in Scorpio aligns with Pluto in practical Capricorn. It's both loving and deep,highlighting commitments, loyalty and love that align with your truth. Some may decide to take their partnerships to the next level, whatever that may be. Conscious decisions are favored. Leo Moon squares Jupiter in Taurus, and the question is how big and lavish to go for, in either tonight's plans or in the long term. Today's color is Green, and I like the light green of peridot or other green crystals as a shade for today. </p><p>Saturday ~ Leo Moon squares Uranus, following yesterday's square to Jupiter. Both are in Taurus. Notice the more surprising ways things develop. We may need to do something differently than expected and some will have to respond to on the spot situations or events. Being open minded and versatile will help. Being too fixed on one thing could create strain. The Moon aligns with Mercury retrograde, both in fire signs, encouraging people to 'get back together' and reconnect. Chance encounters like this are likely as well as planned meetings and occasions. Overnight, the Moon forms a trine to Mars for action and also ease. It's a social and dynamic vibe tonight. Also Jupiter stations direct at 9:40 pm which could be helpful if you're experiencing frustrations or delays that are related to growing your business, building or renovating, or anything banking related. Jupiter will take time to move forward but this is a first step. Mercury will be direct the night of the 1st! We are going toward less retrograde energy soon...if it's been a trying time, let this give hope! Almost nothing earthly lasts forever. Red is today's color.</p><p>Robin's Zodiac Zone is now 2:30-4 pm on WMPG and I love this new time!

If it's been a social weekend, tonight draws us into quiet contemplation or self care. The Moon and Sun engage in two very social signs, Aquarius and Sagittarius at 7:04 am, setting the tone for an active day. Void Moon starts then and shifts into Pisces at 2:58 pm ET. Listen to your inner voice and longings. The Moon and Saturn meet and serious or somber emotions might be a result. Another may be the urge to pull yourself together and get emotionally as well as situationally organized and more in control. Today's color is Green.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Monday ~ Pisces Moon in harmoyn with Jupiter, Mercury and Venus. Mercury and Jupiter form their own trine. This bodes well for many things including feeling generally better and more connected. Reuniting with friends, family or former colleagues would be natural. Also, connect with people you've collaborated will with in the past, with the future in mind. A new project could be in the works for after January 1st. Mars squares the Moon tonight. Notice if frustrations or anger come up. Breathe in some compassion and understanding for yourself or someone else. That doesn't mean just allow bad behavior, instead use perspective and tact with your approach to negativity or aggression. Keep healthy boundaries as needed. Today's color is Pink.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Tuesday ~ Pisces to Aries Moon always seems like a big shift (to me, anyway). Thes two signs are so incredibly different. The last and first signs, the old soul and the new one, emotion and action. Pisces Moon aligns with Uranus which could rattle us this morning or last night. Neptune and the Moon lead to emotional vulnerability, yet also powerful intuitions. Then, the Sun square to the Moon points out where things are not easy and there are edges to be smoothed or obstacles to overcome. Void Moon 4:03 pmto 5:47 pm ET, is a transition time and influenced by reflective and deep feeling Pluto. Aries Moon blows in like a strong wind at 5:47 pm ET, with the intention of shifting everything into drive. This could be motivating, but if instead it feels overpowering, treat yourself as you would a little child who needs a nice meal and a long nap. Self care is today's priority all the way around. Wear Red.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Wednesday ~ Aries Moon squares Mercury retro in Capricorn. The to do list may be challenging and other pressures arise, potentially related to something you thought was finished or over. Venus approaches opposition to Uranus, which peaks overnight into Thursday. Relationship matters heighten, whether positive or otherwise. Our nervous systems are activated by surprise, changes, and what hadn't been planned for. Keep communication clear and avoid misleading yourself or anyone else. Today's color is Yellow.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Thursday ~ Winter Solstice 10:27 pm ET as the Sun moves to Capricorn. Babies born before then are Sagittarius (this year only, it changes year to year). This looks like an eventful day. Mercury retro aligns with Saturn in Pisces, bringing up old business and perhaps long held emotions that need an outlet and expression. Aries Moon aligns with both Mars and the Sun, increasing the element of fire. This means action, drive, push, and also brightness and enthusiasm. Like most things, this can go either way in terms of how it feels. Do calming things to counter the uprising energy. We are also getting closer to Full Moon on Tuesday the 26th. Energy is high.Taurus Moon arrives 9:47 pm ET after about 90 minutes void of course. Taurus Moon favors routine and the comfortable and familiar. Today's color is Green.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Friday ~ Taurus Moon in harmony with Mercury retrograde & the Sun in conjunction with Mercury make this a peak day for reconnecting in person, by mail or virtually. Reach out to someone you've been thinking of. Share appreciation for one another and share your gifts and talents as the Moon meets Jupiter for generosity of time, energy and spirit as well as gift giving. Mercury is about to shift back into Sagittarius and there's a pivotal moment or event in the works before 1:18 am ET. Notice if this happens for you. Today's color is Gold.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Saturday ~ Mercury moves back into Sagittarius. Business or communication from about 2 weeks ago comes around again. Taurus Moon with a variety of aspects. Our focus is creating comfort and security. Financial and emotional security/insecurity drive us. Travels may be delayed or changed.

margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">Sunday, Dec 10th ~ Scorpio Moon opposes Uranus and aligns with Neptune. Though this could be a challenging day, especially in terms of things that weren't planned or expected, it's also a peak day for intuition and creativity. Avoid aggression and arguements. Know that people will not easily yield and may not compromise readily. Immerse in your process and in artistic pursuits and creative environments. Look for the magic and soul in everything. Wear Blue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">Monday ~ We are very close to Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn & also to New Moon. All can be felt right now. You may feel on the brink of something new, yet there's need for patience simutaneously. The more lead time you can give or get, the better. Try to avoid short notice which may have been one of yesterday's challenges also. Make some flexible plans and decisions and bewilling to alter those same plans as things develop over the next 4-6 weeks. I would avoid making travel plans that can't be cancelled, if they can wait until mid January. The Moon moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius today at 6:11 am ET after less than 3 hours void of course. The Moon squares Saturn and people may not take responsibility the way you wish, or you may wish you didn't have to answer or show up to something mandatory. Carve out some freedom in your day, so you can breathe and feel like 'yourself'. Mercury aligns with Venus for a good friend date or romantic adventure. Create situations where everyone is there for the same purpose and also willingly. Social occasions are well timed. Today's color is Purple.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">Tuesday ~ New Moon in Sagittarius. Set your intention for the next two weeks and write it down so you can remind yourself during the holidays. New Moon is at 6:32 pm ET and on the way, the Moon and Mars have a bold and fiery meet n greet. Mars says 'go for it'. Do so knowing Mercury is retrograde. Take a low level of risk. Do something simple that makes you feel alive and energized. Move your body and burn some energy, exercise stress away. Sagittarius is the sign of hips and upper legs. Connect to your root chakra, sense of place and where you are in space. Avoid being too bluntly honest or opinionated. Take care with feelings and don't override true emotions. Wear White for this New Moon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">Wednesday ~ Sagittarius Moon, and Mercury Retrograde begins at 2:09 am ET. Plan as little as possible or plan things that are routine and simplify everything. Take your time. A great intention for this New Moon could be 'take it slow'. Void Moon overnight replaced by Capricorn Moon vibes at 10:31 am ET. Capricorn is the sign of this Mercury Retrograde, at first anyway. Organization becomes challenging. Winging it just might work better! Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter in Taurus are in harmony with the Moon, for emotional awareness and understanding as well as focus on the 'how', the step by step. Act methodically and be ready to problem solve without losing your cool. Overnight the Moon and Mercury retrograde will meet. Be cautious and thoughtful with words and anything in writing including emails and texts. Things could easily be misinterpreted or miscommunicated. Today's color is Green.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>Mercury Retrograde dates: December 13th-23rd Capricorn, 23rd-January 1st Sagittarius</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">Thursday ~ The Moon meets Mercury, aligns with Venus in Scorpio and with Uranus in Taurus. This could mean an easier day, with a focus on communication and plans and postive vibes between people or organizations. Is today the company gathering? It's somewhat business-like, yet socially friendly. Someone may surprise you today, and it might be a Taurus, Scorpio or Capricorn. Be open to surprise, including changes in your own feelings or plans. Today's color is Indigo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">Friday ~ Capricorn Moon in harmony with Neptune first, then meeting Pluto at 11:04 am ET. There's a sense of reflection on the season or the situation. Create some meditative and/or personal time. Clear your mind. Aquarius Moon time lends well to Friday afternoon/ evening events beginning at 12:56 pm ET. The Moon squares Taurus tonight and stubborn personalities may clash. One question regards roles and place in group dynamics. How can you grow together, or is it time to move to a friendlier situation? Wear Turquoise.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">Saturday ~ Squares dominate the day. This often means putting in effort to get past blocks and conflicts of opinion or interest. Aquarius Moon brings out our people skills, and all in all it may be a good day to reach out for friendship, support, collaboration, and to build rapport and connections. Also, it's a day to be willing to work and yield, consider and compromise. Sun square Neptune is the final of 3 squares and may bring out insecurities or lack of confidence. Listening to a trusted friend or ally may give another perspective, helping to overcome self doubt and/or removing a creative block. Check in with yourself, and make that a reality check. Today's color is Light Blue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiot6FZCYJHTsD7RvZPl06ge_nZ0m1C7tP25lrqZd7bWUurTvSQZTpKUtY4Wrblcl5nMu7WPJQG51XTsBlE5UxWPkP-sn2jy7ag8ToSrJtXr3fwL7ksNSDmkGL8uT1T4967i_MjiLa5vMJ-2UmMK7Zk6h5K9bRaHZBzQ3CzYb6cCa4IbitTJkEYmwZE2VI/s4080/PXL_20231202_165446739.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sunday, Dec 3rd ~ Shallow or superficial just will not do. Venus squares Pluto and some will ask for or require deeper relationship connections. Is this something you want to work through, or is someone asking forwhat you just cannot give? Relationship realizations are likely and in some cases are uncomfortable or sort of sad. Equal give and take needed to move through relationship doubts or questions. Leo Moon will align with Venus at 9:11 pm ET, and Venus is about to change signs. This feels like a party and it's a good night out. Void Moon from then until 10:50 pm when Virgo Moon encourages preparation for the 5 day week, school and work. Late night studies and catching up on tasks may be required with Saturn's emphasis on what needs to be done. Today's color is Pink.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Monday ~ Virgo Moon. Tackle the to do list with optimism or at least with care as Mercury in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus support business, learning, and all kinds of growth. Communication about plans and schedules is favored too. Venus moves to Scorpio at 1:51 pm ET, and it's a passionate place for the planet of beauty and love. Find outlets for strong feelings as the ones building up may burst forth with this shift. Venus can be possessive and envious in this sign too. Notice any tendencies in yourself or others. If you're going too far, seek some balance and creative self expression. Virgo Moon squares Mars one minute after Venus's move. It may point out conflicts of interest or places you're directing energy yet yielding nothing. If that's the case, move on to more fertile ground and clearer paths. Today's color is a rich, deep shade of Brown. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tuesday ~ Virgo Moon and a mixed bag. It feels like a day to pursue what's needed, adapt to different circumstances and expect some changes of plan or place. Venus aligns with Saturn, drawing out feelings and emotions around all sorts of things. Heart to heart talks encouraged. Compassion and helpfulness, volunteering and other ways of connecting are favored. The Moon and Sun square at 12:49 am for the 4th quarter phase and the promise of New Moon in one week. Clear any kind ofclutter or debris. Detoxify the body, the space, and the conversations. Wear Green.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wednesday ~ Neptune direct 8:20 am ET, perhaps affecting you more if Neptune has a prominent place in your chart. Neptune is in Pisces. Look for emotional productivity such as resolving something or moving from denial to dealing. Virgo Moon opposes Neptune and aligns with Pluto and fulfilling responsbilities and caring for emotional health are both favored. Void Moon 8:50 am to 11:35 am, then Libra Moon time. Mercury will square the Libra Moon tonight, bringing up relationship matters and pushing for the conversation you need to have with one another. Find consensus or compromises where different agendas exist. Wear Lavender.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thursday ~ Today looks energized and also potentially peaceful. Yes,you can experience both at once. Libra Moon aligns with Mars & the Sun in Sagittarius. Mercury aligns with Jupiter, both in earth signs. This looks like a good day for most plans, adventures, and possibilities taking shape. Manifest it. Today's color is Red.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday ~ Libra Moon square to Pluto is a continutation of relationship matters and situations that may have been brewing early this week. Lean into fairness and equal give and take. Do your share and ask for someone else to do the same. Aim to increase balance in one on one relationships. This includes friendships. Void Moon begins at 8:05 pm, and Scorpio Moon arrives 10:35 pm ET. Avoid anything that might make you brood over something you can't control. That could mean a social media break for the night or the weekend. Try not to put yourself in situations you know could be triggers and let the past be past, not overcoming your energy and mind. Wear Indigo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Saturday ~ Today looks interesting, especially in terms of relationships. The whole week has been relationship focused with a current running through whatever else is happening. Venus and the Moon meet for a strong date night, powerful feelings and passionate pursuit of love and dreams. Jupiter is across the zodiac in Taurus from both, magnifying and adding power to Venus/Moon action & making everything feel or seem bigger and more important. Mercury favors communication about important matters. Connect honestly and deeply. Today's color is Maroon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm on air Tuesday, Dec 12th and 26th, then shifting to Wed afternoons!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Talk to you soon!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Robin</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Bxk7MLTvjXo6bY4WF-mLMVT1VizCS9GeIdeYarlQT1Vqb2nWFI8-geicNbSpSeLkVITugBP-WH111eHXCOFvGgKUvUS2HFgDf4e0brDjHOuPhSYLgQVsUs5xEwcaeiqhh2c5MZ2NtYUQPJh4eQwRvmy2mJUi5xiVqWQeZYvgKOQ0rJkz7pOVRDrVevk/s2000/robin%E2%80%99s%20zodiac%20zone.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Bxk7MLTvjXo6bY4WF-mLMVT1VizCS9GeIdeYarlQT1Vqb2nWFI8-geicNbSpSeLkVITugBP-WH111eHXCOFvGgKUvUS2HFgDf4e0brDjHOuPhSYLgQVsUs5xEwcaeiqhh2c5MZ2NtYUQPJh4eQwRvmy2mJUi5xiVqWQeZYvgKOQ0rJkz7pOVRDrVevk/w309-h400/robin%E2%80%99s%20zodiac%20zone.png" width="309" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-50669880796959461672023-11-24T09:15:00.001-05:002023-11-24T09:15:02.271-05:00FULL MOON IN GEMINI NOV 26TH-DEC 2ND FORECASTS<p>Beaver Moon, Full Moon in Gemini Monday, November 27th 4:16 am ET</p><p>Floating Full Moon Yoga Nidra, just hours before, at Leaping Waters in South Portland Sunday 5:30 pm</p><p>Welcome rest as you settle into a hammmock or with cozy props on the mat</p><p>Rsvp on the <a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule_classes" target="_blank">Schedule</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzGFN69ej0sz9xmPqfFIQkcx9zv4mh4DYL-5kGsiqmWgm3YLp3DkwrJEUX1N_FXI3ScizC3IGpK-jSBLOt8jWxRJordGrw-LYyVuGfcbGVyVJb-0fDrTyILUCoxMMhbJnUhBYGDEpe7qNl2OH4_5ziLKhXRK4sA0emJySlLX07sKwaoTjzXia9F5syqTw/s1080/floating%20full%20moon%20yoga%20nidra%20(5).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzGFN69ej0sz9xmPqfFIQkcx9zv4mh4DYL-5kGsiqmWgm3YLp3DkwrJEUX1N_FXI3ScizC3IGpK-jSBLOt8jWxRJordGrw-LYyVuGfcbGVyVJb-0fDrTyILUCoxMMhbJnUhBYGDEpe7qNl2OH4_5ziLKhXRK4sA0emJySlLX07sKwaoTjzXia9F5syqTw/s320/floating%20full%20moon%20yoga%20nidra%20(5).png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sunday~ The Moon is nearly Full. Today, Taurus Moon meets Uranus, planet that disrupts the balance & requires changes of plans and other adaptiations as well as tranformations. Neptune and Pluto add reflective qualities. While Neptune lends imagination, Pluto acknowledges the deep, inner knowing and experience. Create art, reorganize, do something differently, and let your mind be spacious and free. Meditation may be helpful as is tuning out 'the noise'. Voif Moon 4:52 to 7:40 pm , then the Moon shifts to Gemini energies (though remaining in the constellation Taurus). Moon and Saturn square for reality checks and a noticing of due dates and other obligations. Moon opposes Mars. Some will be confrontational. Avoid a fight. Practice calm and listening. To what or whom do you have an emotional responsibility to fulfill? Today's color is Gold.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Monday~ Mercury squares Neptune and the Moon is Full at 4:16 am ET. Some themes include denying reality and potentially avoiding the truth. Notice double meanings and whether you're being clear or evading some kind of communication or message. Mutable signs host the action, highlighting versatility and willingness to yield and shift perspective. Feelings need healthy outlets and honest expression. Today's color is White.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tuesday~ Gemini Moon opposite Mercury in Sagittarius, square to Neptune in Pisces and aligned with Venus continues our Full Moon cycle and yesterday's themes of honesty and duality. Brainstorm ideas. Avoid arguements as they could heat up quickly. Enjoy the company of someone who complements you, even if their approaches to things are different. Get past a writers' block or other creative block. Look for the Aha moments as Full Moon begins to wane. What has it shown you even if it took a day or two to become clear? Void Moon starts at 8:03 pm ET. Wear Blue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wednesday~ Cancer Moon from 1:54 am ET on. Saturn and Jupiter align in harmony with the Moon, for a cycle of expanding, including new roles and stepping into new power. There may be a sense of adulting, taking responsibility, adding on in some way and committing to that. Cancer Moon also keeps feelings and emotions at the center of it all. Do business kindly. Treat others like family. Notice where you need space or time to yourself and practice self care too. Today's color is Light Blue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thursday~ Cancer Moon aligns with Uranus. Feelings held back may explode to the forefront if that's what's needed. If you're suppressing emotions, seek a healthy outlet whether it's a long talk with a friend or a long walk to clear your head. Shifts around family and security are possible. Surprising announcements may come with this Cancer Moon. Today's color is Light Green.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday~ Mercury moves to Capricorn, a practical place for the planet of communication, words and planning. From 9:31 am on, Mercury spends some time in Capricorn before the retrograde begins on the 13th and moves back to Sagittarius on the 23rd. Finish holiday shopping particularly for items being shipped, things of a technical nature, and anything you're slightly unsure about. Save all receipts and know the return options before you buy. Cancer Moon gives way to Leo energy at 11:00 am after about 3 hours void of course. The morning may be quieter or more home oriented and the day expands from there, with fire element taking over as the Moon and Mars form a nighttime trine at 9:48 pm ET. This could be a fun night out, enhance the energy of performances and raise energy generally. Do something slightly out of routine and comfort zone. Today's color is Orange.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Saturday~ Leo Moon in harmony with the Sun continue last night's energy. Confidence and personal power are highlighted. We may feel energized or feel like other people and situations are filled with dynamic energy. Mercury and Saturn align and you may know just what needs to be done and focused on contracts, agreements, leases, and emotional bonds as well. Word things clearly and enter agreements with thought and care. Today's color is Red.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ljNUGTiDzO0W8cWCVEcOc8VFbQVNaog7bL7qL0LR4-BsLJ1QWFq5WB-wy_oCC0_nObkGHFg5sZS4LPYfV2OLg9C3u3IQt9rz4i449IfqzjmL8GJR6iGGGe7BPx3DN72krapDnQbzLWmumDbZPn5BlpW0V5g7fmOkAKW3wJrK1HuAYYao0oHGJWMGF1U/s2000/sintersolstice2023.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ljNUGTiDzO0W8cWCVEcOc8VFbQVNaog7bL7qL0LR4-BsLJ1QWFq5WB-wy_oCC0_nObkGHFg5sZS4LPYfV2OLg9C3u3IQt9rz4i449IfqzjmL8GJR6iGGGe7BPx3DN72krapDnQbzLWmumDbZPn5BlpW0V5g7fmOkAKW3wJrK1HuAYYao0oHGJWMGF1U/w309-h400/sintersolstice2023.png" width="309" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><p><br /></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-47718646993387943682023-11-17T08:40:00.004-05:002023-11-24T08:31:04.292-05:00Sun & Mars to Sagittarius ~ Astrology for Nov 19th-25th, 2023<p>For Sound Baths to help your energy flow freely and your nervous system realign, come to Leaping Waters </p><p>Thursday, December 7th for Restorative Yoga & Sound Bath with me 6:00-7:15 pm $25</p><p>Sunday, Dec 10th Sound Bath for New Moon with multiple players, the Leaping Waters' Elves, delivering sound in and around the room while you rest 4:00-5:00 pm $30</p><p>Thursday, Dec 21st Winter Solstice Sound Bath w/ Sri Devi Melissa Urey, recently back from India 6:00-7:30 pm $40</p><p>The studio is basking in salt light & infused with healing energy.

This continues last week's themes around love and partnership, communication and agreements. Fairness is a major theme. Make sure you feel equal in power and if yourebein gtaken advantage of or things are otherwise imbalanced, this is a call to adjust that. It's a good day to work in groups and inventiveness and original ideas are favored. At 5:53 pm the Moon has it's monthly square to Uranus which may feel out of sorts as it encourages breaking up old paradigms and getting out of stuck places. Today's color is Pink.</p><p>Monday ~ The Sun and Mars are both set to leave Scorpio, and before they do, both are square to the Moon early today. Breaking up stuck energy and forcing action, these squares come on strong. Deeply rooted issues and ideas are in focus and need some working through. With the Sun and Mars involved, outward action and expression is necessary. What you've been soul searching about may now have an answer, one way or the other. It's more than the answer though, it's how to move through it and take that first action now. Void Moon 5:50 am to 9:29 am ET. Pisces Moon vibes follow, and the Moon aligns with Jupiter later for growth and fertility in any way. Meanwhile the Sun in Scorpio sextile to Pluto in Capricorn releases transformative energy to make much needed change with. Today's color is Indigo.</p><p>Tuesday ~ Pisces Moon squares Mercury in Sagittarius. Effort on behalf of honesty and truth. Some may be too bold while others try to protect feelings yet perpetuate dishonestly in the process. Can you find the right words to express what's true? The Moon also forms a sextile to Uranus, for awakenings to the reality of a situation or emotion. Mars makes one more move before leaving for Sagittarius...and it's a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. This is harmony, and instills actions to back inner feelings and inner knowing. Take wise actions, intuitively and without impulsiveness. Today's color is Light Blue.</p><p>Wednesday ~Pisces Moon meets Neptune for an added bit of magic that might impact your dreams. This can soften moods, create a sentimental atmosphere, and fuel creativity. At 9:03 am the Sun moves to Sagittarius. Pisces Moon continues, in harmony with Mars and Pluto who just met yesterday, for continuations of acting based on inner wisdom and realizations. Void Moon 10:10 am to 12:19 pm and the Moon shifts to Aries' energy and aligns with the Sun for a fire sign celebration. Do something to encourage your inner fire, light and energy. Traveling and working out will satisfy the soul. Sitting around doing nothing just won't feel right. Get up and go this afteroon and night. Accept the invite. Wear Red.</p><p>Thursday ~ On this Thanksgiving Day, there are a couple of things to look out for and maybe find moderation with. One is the Sun square to Saturn which can highlight challenges and a feeling of being tested or pressured. Another is Venus in Libra opposite the Aries Moon, highlighing differences of feeling or opinion. Just and fair treatment is a theme and something to work for. Lighten someone's burden if you can. The mood may be lighter later in the day or at night as Mercury and the Moon align in fire signs for lively and outgoing get togethers. Today's color is Orange.</p><p>Friday ~ Mars joins the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius. This is an energetic shift that may boost moods and energy and push for honesty and truth. Mars is bold and pioneering in Sag. From 12:40 pm to 3:29 pm the Moon is void of course, then shifts to Taurus and aligns with Saturn for potential resolution of anything heavy or burdensome on Thursday. Purple is today's color. </p><p>Saturday ~ Taurus Moon meets Jupiter. Growing, prospering and learning, especially hands on type learning, are favored. Mars squares Saturn which may not be easy. Find balance between enthusiastic, quick action and sense, restraint or care for someone else's emotions and priorities. Agendas may clash as one wants to move fast and another needs processing time or resists. Today's color is Green.</p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-26623219787748591682023-11-09T12:48:00.003-05:002023-11-09T12:48:27.401-05:00NEW MOON IN SCORPIO ASTROLOGY FOR NOV 12TH-18TH 2023<p>Sunday ~ At the threshold of Scorpio New Moon, the Moon opposes Jupiter and prepares to oppose Uranus on Monday morning, right near New Moon time. Taurus, temporary home to these two planets, relates to our sense of security and rootedness in the world. Jupiter aims for growth in every way. Uranus aims to free us of anything habitual or impeding, yet sometimes does this in extreme and unforeseen ways. Matters of prosperity, income, job, value, real estate, land, and also philosophy of living come into play during this New Moon. Hopefully, world events will not uprise even more than they are already, but this too is a possibility. Uranus throws the ultimate curve at New Moon. How it will play out is anybody's guess. The topics above are the most likely, though your own chart plays a role in how you're personally influenced. Today's color is Black.</p><p>Monday ~ Read Sunday's forecast. The Moon meets both the Sun and Mars for fiery action and responses today. Matters will not be taken lightly. This is a deep, intense, emotional and activated New Moon. The Sun and Moon both oppose Uranus in Taurus. Some topics with this relate to how authentic you feel you can be in a given situation or time of life. How much can you be spontaneous and if someone or something is limiting or oppressing you, what do you need to do to change your situation. It's likely something radical and out of the norm. Is it worth it? Is the time now? Chances are this New Moon will force some situations and it becomes ready or not here are the changes. Pluto and Neptune add what I feel is a surreal quality to what's becoming evident and being initiated now. New Moon at 4:27 am ET. Void Moon 6:03 to 9:23 pm ET. Today's color is White.</p><p>Tuesday ~ Sagittarius Moon meets Mercury and aligns with Venus in Libra. Plan an adventure to take together. This could be a chatty day or a day for meetings. Personal friendships and romance are highlighted. Conversations may lean to the philosphical and big ideas. It's a nice vacation day. Could you extend a long weekend one more day? Turquoise is today's color.</p><p>Wednesday ~ From a deep and powerful as well as potently emotional New Moon, to Sagittarius influence and focus on Mercury and Venus, hopefully things lightened a bit since Monday. Today, Mercury and Venus align for collaborating, teaming up, dates, and potential forgiveness and release. Can you find the difference between forgiveness and overlooking real issues in a relationship that need addressing? Void Moon 5:57 pm on. Travel carefully and stay aware. Wear Purple for wise discernment, today.</p><p>Thursday ~ Capricorn Moon 2:41 am ET, with overight alignment to Saturn in Pisces. Wisdom in all matters, especially the ones that tug the heartstrings, relate to enabling or boundaries and also employment matters, possibly between employees and whoever is in charge. Stick with limits worth sticking to. Remember that comsequences are meaningless if they're not followed through. In some cases, we'll need to do the harder thing and not give in or take excuses. If your excuse is a worthy one, present it sensibly and without drama. Later, the Moon and Jupiter align which feels more like opening the heart, pleasure, and excitement about opportunities and learning. Study with a partner and absorb each other's knowledge. Take action on repairs and functionality in the environment at home or workplace. Today's color is dark, pine Green.</p><p>Friday ~ Mars trine Neptune. How can you combine your strong willful side with romance and softness? These types of traits in combination are a theme of the day. Avoid escapism while embracing imagination. Notice how they are different while having some overlap. Take a creative approachthat is perhaps less extreme or less draining. The Sun also trine to Neptune helps us tap into our feelings and express them, hopefully calmly (though I don't guarantee the calm part). Capricon Moon meanwhile, aligns in harmony with Mars, the Sun, Neptune and Uranus and this basically ties together the whole week. Maybe that increase our own chances to tie up loose ends and make things happen or understand something better. Today's color is Blue.</p><p>Saturday ~ The Sun and Mars meet in Scorpio at 12:42 am ET. The fire of these two heavenly bodies has been a dramatic part of our week. It could have arisen as anger or self expression or deep internal exploration, perhaps to find the course of action needed. That course of action may come today, if not yesterday. It's a dreamer's overnight as the Moon and Pluto meet. Release overthinking in favor of mental and physical space for intuitive ideas. Void Moon 3:27 am to 6:28 am ET when the Moon moves to Aquarius. There's a very social aspect to this weekend, fueled by a personable Aquarius Moon. Gather. Today's color is Silver.</p><p>Leaping Waters' Studio features New Moon Sound Bath Sunday the 12th 5:30-6:45 pm with Rachel Rivera</p><p>Just ahead is Floating Full Moon Yoga Nidra, a meditative session, on Sunday Nov 26th for Full Moon.

Leo Moon squares the Sun and Mars in Scorpio and Uranus in Taurus. It's a day for breaking down or out of existing patterns and attempting to shift the stuck places. With squares, much effort is called for. Anchor in what you feel strongly about and consider a plan A and B for dealing with any persisting situation or condition. Uranus throws out some radical ideas for consideration. It may not be an instant thing, but contemplate and weigh things out. Leo Moon time can be for fun, but today looks more like positive efforts and coming to crossroads where Leo creativity and optimism prove helpful. Arguments could flare easily. Move through disagreements with a sense of calm and rationality. Wear Red today.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Monday ~ Void Moon 2:25 am to 2:39 pm ET. Maybe this provides a break and some personal time. It would be a nice Monday to have free for creative pursuits or a spontaneous adventure. Venus and Pluto align for reflection and intention for harmony, synchronicity, and relationship life. Consider how you've been feeling and whether action or conversation should be the follow up. Mercury aligns with Neptune for finding the right words and a sensitive approach. Try not to be dishonest while trying to be nice. Virgo Moon opposes Saturn in Pisces and where we feel opposite one another, seek consensus or compromise. Something may be repaired and tried out in a new form. Today's color is navy Blue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tuesday ~ Virgo Moon aligns with Jupiter and the Sun for constructive approaches and more ease along the way. Routines are favored as is self care. Decide to try something and see how it goes. Make temporary, if not more permanent, plans. Today is earthy and our color is Brown.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wednesday ~ Venus moves to her home sign Libra at 4:30 am ET. Venus in Libra is very relationship focused and also relates to dance and synchronized movement and music. Immerse in something sound or dance related during the coming weeks, as a way of tapping in. Virgo Moon engages with planets in earth and water signs. Stay connected to your roots, sense of place, and maybe visit a favorite outdoor area for hiking or simply sitting by the water. Mercury & the Moon align with Pluto and this could bring up sensitive subjects. Approach gently and realistically. Deep feelings may arise for expression and conversation. Void Moon 11:55 pm ET to 3:08 am on Thursday. Today's color is Green.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thursday ~ The Moon enters Libra and meets Venus at 5:23 am ET. With any luck, this sets up a perfect day for friendship, romance, dates, getting along well, and forgiving. Fairness and equal treatment come to the forefront and may be requested. Today's intention is Balance and could also be Love. Wear Pink.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday ~ The Moon is waning in the 4th phase of the cycle, with New Moon coming early on Monday. Today, Mercury moves to Sagittarius until December 1st. Note that Mercury retrograde will happen mid December, and place orders or buy appliances and technical things now rather than then. Mercury in Sagittarius favors learning and exploring. Do college applications and things related to continuing education in any area during these November weeks. Starting a program of study today feels well timed. We may encounter scheduling glitches as well as uncertainty about decisions and how we really feel as the Moon squares Saturn. Try not to pressure yourself or others. Today's color is Purple.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Saturday ~ Libra Moon void from 10:05 am to 1:39 pm when the Moon shifts to Scorpio. Indecision may persist this morning and energy goes into weighing options and taking stock as the Moon squares Pluto. The surface and the depths are in evident contrast. It may seem like this yet feel like that. Scorpio Moon helps us focus on intuition and at 2:43 pm ET, aligns with Saturn in Pisces. Reflect on imminent decisions and other matters. Really feel the heartbeat of what's happening, as well as your own. Mars opposite Uranus is very volatile and powerful like a storm or natural uprising such as volcanoes, big surf, and earth tremors, literally or otherwise. Avoid angry and unpredictable people. Do not put yourself in harm's way. Err on the cautious side. Tend to personal care and mental well being. Meditate and replenish with sleep and rest. Today's color is Indigo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/rachelriverasoundhealer" target="_blank">hear Rachel Rivera sing & play</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Perhaps we'll see you Sunday the 12th at 5:30 pm for a full, intuitive sound bath</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Have a smooth week</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Robin</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-4443481609474635412023-10-26T12:32:00.002-04:002023-10-26T12:32:37.406-04:00Lunar Eclipse, Mercury conjunct Mars Astrology for Oct 29th-Nov 4th, 2023<p>Shamanic Yoga and Spirit Guide Journey Postponed to Thursday, November 2nd 6:00 pm</p><p>A limited number of spaces available for sign up www.leapingwatersyoga.com</p><p><br /></p><p>Sunday ~ Taurus Moon in the wake of yesterday's lunar eclipse, Full Moon. Extremes and intensity are highlighted as the Moon opposes Mercury and Mars, & also meets Jupiter and Uranus. Mercury and Mars meets in Scorpio. Fixed, unyielding feelings and situations may create conflict or disagreement, yet are rocked by the tremors of Uranus instigating undeniable change. There's also impulse for growth, expansion and even romantic, deeply connected emotions linked to Venus and the Moon in harmony. You may find this day to be at one extreme or the other. Wear Pink.</p><p>Monday ~Taurus Moon cycle comes to completion and we begin to move out of the initial eclipse events or announcements and into the waning phase. Neptune and Pluto align with the Moon, which lends well to meditative and artistic practices. Void Moon 4:36 am to 11:08 am ET. Gemini Moon time follows and there's a Moon/Saturn square to contend with. That's how it may feel-like resisting or doing things because you're obligated and there's hardly any other choice. Feelings and intellect may conflict as will shoulds/want tos. Wear Yellow today.</p><p>Tuesday ~ Halloween under a Gemini Moon this year. Gemini is a shapeshifter and chameleon. Costume planning and tricks/treats feel like Gemini Moon. Venus and Uranus also put relationship dynamics and changes in the forefront. You may hear of status changes, breakups, or seemingly sudden engagements. Enjoy some time in altered personality states, mask or makeup wearing and socializing. Notice things that arrive in twos. Partner and team up for holiday celebrations. Today's color is Gold.</p><p>Wednesday ~ There are two lunar squares with Venus and Neptune. Dates, plans and expectations may not be met as you expect. Relationship disagreements or let downs could be one effect. Void Moon 8:36 am to 5:30 pm when the Moon enters Cancer, sign of home, family, roots, origins and emotional life. The Moon trine Saturn tonight brings up serious feelings, yet with a constructive type approach. Wera Blue.</p><p>Thursday ~ Cancer Moon aligns with the Sun, Jupiter and Mars. In a general way, this appears to be good and beneficial. A decision might come more easily, for example. The downside might be Mars aligned with the Moon which could lead to anger or aggression rising from emotional depths. Notice if you feel volatile or on the edge, and take care of yourself. Some may need a good cry or other emotional release. Today's color is Purple.</p><p>Friday ~ Cancer Moon with a variety of planetary aspects and action. Venus opposes Neptune for channeling energy into creativity and romance, loving energy. Yet also we may need to find that fine line between loving and enabling, denial and what's real. Forgiveness may be possible. There's a difference between forgiving and continuing allowing something that needs to change. Today is perfect for some deep inner awareness, reflection and action on personal and family priorities. Wear Light Blue.</p><p>Saturday ~ Saturn direct in Pisces at 3:03 am ET. The Moon moves to Leo at 3:21 am ET. Mercury opposes Uranus today for surprising news. If you're sharing something, consider not startling people and approach things sensitively. The Moon and Jupiter square and expansion questions come up, such as how or whether to move ahead with major plans, from school and education to special events. Today's color is Light Green. </p><p><br /></p><p>New Moon Sound Bath with vocals, crystal bowls and grounding instruments, with Rachel Rivera</p><p>Sunday, November 12th 5:30-6:45 pm $35</p><p>sign up on the schedule at <a href="http://www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes">www.leapingwatersyoga.com/schedule-classes</a></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-13462080213711297922023-10-18T09:09:00.001-04:002023-10-18T09:09:26.620-04:00LUNAR ECLIPSE IN TAURUS/SCORPIO ~ ASTROLOGY FOR OCTOBER 22ND-28TH, 2023<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOjPf5Gp_F4ouT3qd-xRO0k1PNE01CjJXVlfktcKeHEtEXHADFOw8SbZFQYGZTBAaWCKwe0OBkE-eJdx_ZjpuJql75206cwUrbsfbMMcwbuIN0RJnqTVdv2Vct4IRtFINuDFWTAW2V0JO_giXCGO64omN122QmZVx8llldsiSeduU0RYk9mOyJy0Vg03Y/s2000/moon%20features.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOjPf5Gp_F4ouT3qd-xRO0k1PNE01CjJXVlfktcKeHEtEXHADFOw8SbZFQYGZTBAaWCKwe0OBkE-eJdx_ZjpuJql75206cwUrbsfbMMcwbuIN0RJnqTVdv2Vct4IRtFINuDFWTAW2V0JO_giXCGO64omN122QmZVx8llldsiSeduU0RYk9mOyJy0Vg03Y/s320/moon%20features.png" width="247" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thrilled to be on the air Halloween, October 31st Tuesday 10:00-11:30 am on 90.9 WMPG</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Stream on the free app or wmpg.org</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">More ghost stories...and talk of the spirit world.

Count your blessings and gifts. This is loving, abundant, expansive energy and may benefit relationships. Virgo and Taurus, this is hosted in your signs. Void Moon 2:00 am to 2:06 am ET, worth noting maybe because it's such a short void Moon. If you happen to be awake for it, notice anything unusual...Aquarius Moon time follows and often encourages gatherings and co-working. The Moon squares planets in Taurus and Scorpio today, which may foreshadow the upcoming lunar eclipse. Be aware of sharp edges and extremes in yourself and others. Would it be worth smoothing something over? Can you do so without giving up your ideals and your individuality? Mercury enters Scorpio, and mysteries and investigations, secrets and intense conversations are highlighted for the month ahead. Mercury aligns with Saturn in Pisces and emotional discussions and decisions are two of the results. Today's events and interactions will likely leave long term impressions. Wear Blue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Monday ~ Aquarius Moon squares Uranus. We may question or be questioned about our identity and ideals. There may be resistance to or uncertainty about how we appear, such as how much to stand out vs blend in. Radical changes may not be the route to take today. There's likely some sense of upheaval, non conformity, and sudden change is in the air. Though we must often respond to things, can this be done methodically and intentionally, and not overly impulsively? At 12:21 pm ET, the Sun moves to Scorpio. Born today, you are on the exact cusp. Days get noticeably darker now, even before the time change in early November. This affects our mind, our third eye, our sense of well being. Get any kind of light therapy as needed including infrared light, SAD light box, and sunlight in the mornings especially. Check in on anyone you're concerned about. Void Moon 3 pm on. Today's color is Turquoise.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tuesday ~ Void Moon time ends at 4:33 am ET. These in between times can be likened to a waiting room or to losing sense of direction. If you feel like yesterday slipped by, that could be why. Sun and Saturn form a trine in Scorpio/Pisces overnight. Expressive and serious about it, this may come out in words and actions of an emotional nature. Do not dismiss your own or others' feelings. Listen and process what you're hearing. The Moon also meets Saturn. Saturn tells us to get a handle on things and not let them get out of control. Take things seriously and heed your own inner wisdom. Saturn is the planet of elders, experience and discretion. Note any of those words for clues to how this is coming up for you. The Moon harmonizes with the Sun, Mars and Mercury in Scorpio and with Jupiter in Taurus. It's a sign of making things happen, harmoniously and readily. Allow for the change, let something take its' course and grasp opportunities that feel right. Today's color is Indigo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wednesday ~ Pisces Moon opposite Venus, aligns with Uranus and meets Neptune today. I feel this could be highly creative. Immerse in your art form. There's also a love and relationship aspect. Romance is heightened. Emotional boundaries may dissolve or reduce. Opposites attract. Things like feelings may come up quite suddenly. Light Green is today's color.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thursday ~ We are in the foreshadow of Saturday's Lunar Eclipse. Void Moon 2:39 am to 6:02 am ET. The Moon is in Aries now, and though there are no major aspects, there's a sense of action and maybe urgency with due dates approaching and perhaps a sense that something is happening though we're not sure quite what it is or what is implicated. Breathe well, practice patience and act with wisdom where actions are called for. Red is today's color. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday ~ Aries Moon continues sort of 'quietly' with no planetary aspects. Notice if your inner fire feels balance, not too dim not too raging. Ths sense of steadiness, with just the right amount of energy,drive and push, can help us through challenging eclipse shifts. All shifts create stress, even the positive ones. Take good care of you. Be sensitive to others. Aries is the sign of 'me', so try not to be self centered and consider the difference between self centered and self aware, between self care and selfishness. Focus on how to share of yourself and your blessings while keeping healthy boundaries. Try some restorative type of yoga or guided meditation during this day and this season. It can really help short and long term, particularly if you're trying to change your inner narrative, hoping to release anxiety and lift yourself up. Today's color is Orange.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Saturday ~ Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Taurus at 4:24 pm ET. This eclipse at 5 degrees Taurus occurs on a day of other oppositions. Mars and Mercury in Scorpio oppose Jupiter, magnifying disagreements and making honest communication VERY important. Secrets or hidden feelings will come to the surface. Anger could be an issue to contend with. One symbol for this eclipse is a bridge over a deep gorge. Ideally we can trust that bridge and cross over, making the necessary shift. There's also chances of trying to take shortcuts or not being able to trust what must support us and our journey. Feel into that and see where you land. Eclipse vibrations will be felt strongly for another month and vibrate for 6 months until our next pair of eclipses. Change is necessary. Is this your time? Matters of money, employment, land, real estate, root chakra, and emotional like are highlighted at this eclipse time. Today's color is Gold and also White. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxBwfUHTJU65RvIw-YDbEYO6VoyTKyuE0O4VXXr_1UYh826Yzx51yN1pBv8R5QPPnFykJQ5xqiiFb5Mfd81jcUkf0eGQGPkSAlriB4Fs2l0LY_cCpHvCXlRXf9A4RRc1VgvqCqPTJj_K7T9cMQxS2sLhSJafkSteBflgnKT4zncEFNwffrKbxU42PF-Uw/s2000/Shamanic%20yoga%20&%20spirit%20guide%20journey%20with%20robin%20ivy%20payton%20(1).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxBwfUHTJU65RvIw-YDbEYO6VoyTKyuE0O4VXXr_1UYh826Yzx51yN1pBv8R5QPPnFykJQ5xqiiFb5Mfd81jcUkf0eGQGPkSAlriB4Fs2l0LY_cCpHvCXlRXf9A4RRc1VgvqCqPTJj_K7T9cMQxS2sLhSJafkSteBflgnKT4zncEFNwffrKbxU42PF-Uw/s320/Shamanic%20yoga%20&%20spirit%20guide%20journey%20with%20robin%20ivy%20payton%20(1).png" width="247" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-42731323153892914742023-10-08T08:33:00.001-04:002023-10-08T08:33:12.358-04:00ECLIPSE MONTH EVENTS AT LEAPING WATERS<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFxM1FenI6XsNRDf1gxisRsNy1aQigFSnOQjlx38wDk7ghz8cNhfkbz3NBUR8-1FoVUN5fmlJnQLOyb3xSUbhRz4cP_g3bThg9uoLqmaDf8T9FiQvGy0Xluae2xm_deohAtSkyJaunpj9wcNXVNFap_dwsiGDVq5zZugHNh179wg8TYvoZueUX_Oq60CI/s2000/NEW%20STUDENT%2010%20DAY%20PASS%20FRIDAY-FRIDAY%205%20CLASSES%20$90%20EVERYONE%20OFFER%20~%201%20EXTRA%20CLASS%20FOR%20ANYTIME%20W%206%20OR%2010%20CLASS%20PURCHASE%20CURRENT%20PASS%20HOLDERS%20PRACTICE%20TWICE%20THIS%20WEEK%20&%20RECEIVE%20A%20FREE%20FUTURE%20CLASS.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFxM1FenI6XsNRDf1gxisRsNy1aQigFSnOQjlx38wDk7ghz8cNhfkbz3NBUR8-1FoVUN5fmlJnQLOyb3xSUbhRz4cP_g3bThg9uoLqmaDf8T9FiQvGy0Xluae2xm_deohAtSkyJaunpj9wcNXVNFap_dwsiGDVq5zZugHNh179wg8TYvoZueUX_Oq60CI/w494-h640/NEW%20STUDENT%2010%20DAY%20PASS%20FRIDAY-FRIDAY%205%20CLASSES%20$90%20EVERYONE%20OFFER%20~%201%20EXTRA%20CLASS%20FOR%20ANYTIME%20W%206%20OR%2010%20CLASS%20PURCHASE%20CURRENT%20PASS%20HOLDERS%20PRACTICE%20TWICE%20THIS%20WEEK%20&%20RECEIVE%20A%20FREE%20FUTURE%20CLASS.png" width="494" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-34083256114889866482023-10-05T11:35:00.003-04:002023-10-18T07:55:06.417-04:00NEW MOON ECLIPSE, ASTROLOGY & COLORS FOR OCTOBER 8TH-14TH & 15TH-21ST, 2023<p>NEW MOON SOUND BATH SUNDAY OCT 15TH W/ SRI DEVI MELISSA UREY</p><p>LEAPING WATERS AERIAL YOGA SPA, 146/8 OCEAN ST SOUTH PORTLAND</p><p>CHOOSE AERIAL OR MAT OPTION</p><p><a href="http://WWW.LEAPINGWATERSYOGA.COM/SCHEDULE-CLASSES" target="_blank">RSVP AT THIS LINK </a></p><p><br /></p><p>TWO WEEKS OF FORECASTS HERE~</p><p><br /></p><p>Sunday, Oct 8th ~ Venus, planet of love, harmony & romance, shifts to Virgo. This can make us feel particular with our partners or easily annoyed with things like messiness or unfulfilled promises. If you're a little bit disenchanted with a friend or partner, notice if you become overly critical or even passive agressive or sarcastic with them. Mercury aligns with the Moon this morning for heart centered conversations instead. Leo Moon will square Jupiter at 10:55 pm ET, challenging us to perform or be in public, maybe a presentation or stage moment is just ahead. Tonight, prepare. Venus enters Virgo at 9:11 pm ET, and Mars in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn tonight. With all this planetary action, notice if your confidence feels shaken or wobbly and see if you can re-center yourself. Avoid letting negative thoughts or words sit too harshly or reoccur in your mind. Meditate on ways you feel strong. Today's color is Yellow.</p><p>Monday ~ The Moon and Sun harmonize in Leo/ Libra, both social signs. This may also have influenced Sunday night. Be ready for people today, for connection and communication, for presenting or performing and test taking of the verbal kind. Let your knowledge, confidence and real self shine. Avoid trying to be like someone else. The Moon and Uranus square and surprises may not go over well initially. Prepared is favored over last minute or winging it. Today's color is Purple. </p><p>Tuesday ~ Venus opposes Saturn in the mutable signs. This may call for versatile and adaptable approaches. Leo Moon aligns with Mars inciting active participation and problem solving especially around equity and equality or justice. It may also put us in outgoing moods. Void Moon 5:37 am to 8:02 ET. For the rest of the day, Virgo Moon is about getting things done, including personal business with others, such as yielding and forgiving. Moon opposite Saturn, meeting Venus takes those adaptable vibes through the day and night. Avoid being too stubborn or stuck in one way of thinking. Brown is today's color. </p><p>Wednesday ~ Virgo Moon aligns with Jupiter for flexible plans and approaches, for studying and feeling 'smarter', and for investigating educational and financial opportunities. Indigo Blue is our color, and Mars is on the threshold of Scorpio. Settle something reasonably and fairly before tomorrow.</p><p>Thursday ~ Mars in Scorpio is very activating, can bring up anger and possessiveness or envy. At 12:04 am, Mars enters a sign they co-rule with Pluto. This is the fiery side of emotional Scorpio. The Moon is in Virgo, seeking what can be done practically and maybe frugally. Yet, the planets engaging with the Moon appear to indicate distractions from what's real and true or sensible. And throw curve balls into plans or expectations. Void Moon 4:10 pm to 8:22 pm ET, and these hours may lead to missing appointments or misplacing items. Be extra aware of what you're doing and saying. Seek balance. Today's color is Dark Red.</p><p>Friday ~ This weekend is the Solar Eclipse, and we may feel the rise of energy or a real dip today. Expect extremes. Mars aligns with Saturn to point out what needs serious attention. Do not diminish feelings, your own or other peoples'. Anger or resentment could rise up easily. On the other hand, it could come out as sadness. The Moon is in Libra. Buddy system. Today's color is Black.</p><p>Saturday ~ Solar Eclipse 1:55 pm ET, in Libra. Mercury is the planet most engaged near the eclipse, bringing communication, planning and thought processes into the equation. Avoid getting overly caught up in your mind or anxiety. Do calming, grounding things, even cleaning the house or fixing and repairing things that can be done easily. With so much energy in air signs, it's useful to get in to earthier modes and keep your feet solidly grounded. Unless you're dancing, in which case, be light! Eclipses are like hitting the gas pedal. Things could happen fast during the next two to six weeks. This is the first of a pair of eclipses, taking us to the next levels, ready or not quite...Today's color is White.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6nT4C4iuF1dtLGNIMGzFUORTeQZUTM9xB3dr21ySyvRursvr-CVzsC8HERbMR46w7rgk3eTmh-WEpshEe6EzI0oszpqJ4K0pBzhmvTu7iNbWizFbVPBVDj8N7Agu8_IEjE1hAT3nXapJ1qV6HRFL84WGZOGQI0h_hbDWRszdRR0sMPVesLTqPZUWr0DA/s2000/Shamanic%20yoga%20&%20spirit%20guide%20journey%20with%20robin%20ivy%20payton%20(1).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6nT4C4iuF1dtLGNIMGzFUORTeQZUTM9xB3dr21ySyvRursvr-CVzsC8HERbMR46w7rgk3eTmh-WEpshEe6EzI0oszpqJ4K0pBzhmvTu7iNbWizFbVPBVDj8N7Agu8_IEjE1hAT3nXapJ1qV6HRFL84WGZOGQI0h_hbDWRszdRR0sMPVesLTqPZUWr0DA/w309-h400/Shamanic%20yoga%20&%20spirit%20guide%20journey%20with%20robin%20ivy%20payton%20(1).png" width="309" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sunday, Oct 15th, 2023 ~ We're in the wake of the eclipse and it may feel very powerful or swirling. Add to that a shift to Scorpio Moon at 7:04 am ET and the Moon meets Mars, bringing strong feelings to the surface and instigating action to back those feelings. The Moon aligns with Saturn for serious priorities and with Venus for passion and sense of beauty. The urge to organize and make sense of things may be strong though it's not necessarily clear how everything will sort and land. Today's color is Indigo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Monday ~Scorpio Moon opposes Jupiter and Uranus. Extremes and how to deal with them are the focus of the day. Everything may feel magnified and deeply emotional. One thing at a time. Stay personally centered and perhaps more inwardly focused. Wear Black.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tuesday ~ Scorpio Moon aligns with Neptune for creativity and perhaps a little break from the intensity. Be cautious with substance use and being around people who 'check out' in this way. From 11:44 am ET, with an introverted, reflective trine to Pluto, the Moon is void of course until 3:36 pm ET. Sagittarius Moon squares Saturn and responsibilities and emotions should be faced, even the challenging ones. Today's color is Purple.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wednesday ~ Sagittarius Moon squares Venus in Virgo. The things we're particular or sensitive about come up for reconciliation. This may be within oneself or with someone else. Notice if you're being too yielding or too unyielding. If you're in denial about a relationship issue, maybe it's a good time to let it come up and see if there's forgiving or some action to take in a positive way. Today's color is Orange.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thursday ~ Sagittarius Moon aligns with the Sun & Mercury in Libra. It's a social and outgoing aspect. People may be talkative and bring up philosophical ideas. Travel and also educational pursuits are favored. Void Moon 3:02 to 9:55 pm ET. Capricorn Moon arrives then. Mercury and the Sun are about to meet in Libra and tonight there's likely alot of chatter. Topics of justice, equality and sharing may be the focus. Wear Gold.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday ~ The Sun meets Mercury at 1:38 am ET. The Moon in Capricorn aligns with Mars in Scoprio, Venus in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. All of this can be positive, though much of it could be highly charged with emotion and sense of urgency or pressure. Mercury and Pluto form a square at 8:51 pm ET, which indicates a need for meditation and reflection. Think before speaking and make sure you can support what you're proposing. Green is today's color.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Saturday ~ Capricorn Moon moves through some familiar monthly paces, aligning with Neptune, meeting Pluto, and trine to Uranus. The third one means things happen suddenly and readily, in different ways than expected. Steadiness will be appreciated. You might be able to get some practical and creative things done, yes both! The Sun squares both the Moon and Pluto today, for self inquiry, encouraging an objective view, and fair transactions. Balance the imbalanced. Indecisiveness is a quality of this evening and it's ok to sit on the fence sometimes. Sleep on it. Wear Black.</div><br /><p><br /></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191542796477552574.post-17700167035883136532023-10-02T08:03:00.008-04:002023-10-05T11:36:30.417-04:00HALLOWEEN READINGS WITH ROBIN<p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> Readings will take place in Leaping Waters</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">146-148 Ocean St South Portland, Maine</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Email to schedule, $10 deposit reserves your space</span></i></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj67j_zk4bkGmh3wGGpIVwqNpTGxFqZ1YxYvK22dz5zwRa7y3RKQKPX0g2Tt3Q3z3_K-o0IfX7PmUY9MFxLCdxCb1QvgQSGMsj1tXkzTYZD-wqFAvhCvBAEPK6at69kbKzbDlbQS4wKb2sCSnxvBfin_Y90732aVqtyHN3VVKI5hdECMdmebpntMUOCYiw/s1080/Add%20a%20subheading%20(35).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj67j_zk4bkGmh3wGGpIVwqNpTGxFqZ1YxYvK22dz5zwRa7y3RKQKPX0g2Tt3Q3z3_K-o0IfX7PmUY9MFxLCdxCb1QvgQSGMsj1tXkzTYZD-wqFAvhCvBAEPK6at69kbKzbDlbQS4wKb2sCSnxvBfin_Y90732aVqtyHN3VVKI5hdECMdmebpntMUOCYiw/s320/Add%20a%20subheading%20(35).png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>One card $10 drop ins may be available as space allows</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>I look forward to greeting you!</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>Robin</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>update: available times now 3 pm on</i></b></div><br /><p><br /></p>Robin Ivy Payton, Leaping Waters Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16320496699025693778noreply@blogger.com0148 Ocean St, South Portland, ME 04106, USA43.637341199999987 -70.252420515.327107363821142 -105.4086705 71.947575036178833 -35.0961705
