The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Tuesday August 10, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe forAugust 10, 2021:
The planetary vibes are discordant as the Moon in Virgo highlights our very own insecurities and self depreciation. Subtle negative inner messages can trip up even the most confident of souls today. There's also a thread of rebellion, though, being offered up by Uranus. So, grab on to that and tell your inner critic to shut up. Choose courage. The change agent vibes of the Lion's Gate are there to cheer you on. As far as work goes, do your best and then leave it behind. Do something that's soul healing tonight. You deserve to have joy in your heart.
Health issues can seem confusing now. Listen to your own counsel and act accordingly. We are energetically moving away from a top down hierarchy. Others do not know you as well as you know yourself. Take control and listen to your intuition and insist on having a say in treatments. Alternative health systems have value and a place in our wellbeing. Amethyst and Lavender are calming tools that can dial down the anxiety that's so prevalent under a Virgo Moon. Stretching, listening to music, or being entertained are ways the current Leo energies will help you. Tomorrow's energies are smoother and will help you focus on relationships and teamwork. Make today beautiful - because you can! Mercury will enter Virgo on Wednesday (USA). Any progress you make on taking charge of your own health now will put you ahead of the game. An authentic you is the best you!

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Monday August 9, 2021:

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for for August 9, 2021:
Spiritual flow. The unleashed energies of yesterday's New Moon and Lion's Gate are still very prevalent through the 12th. But, the Cosmos, in its wisdom, moves the Moon into Virgo at 7:56 am
(PDT/USA + 8 hrs UK). Here, we can begin to apply our wisdom and higher vibrations to improve our lives and the world around us. Fresh from a boost of Leo vibes, Mercury in Leo is ready to help you see your journey in a more loving light. You've done so many more things right than wrong. Focus on your success and keep building the life you desire. The Virgo Moon will help you organize your feelings, thoughts, and ideas today. Be methodical. Go slow. Balance your day between giving and receiving.
Moon in Virgo loves tidy spaces and simple plans. If you need to stock up on items or do things for the good of the household do it today or tomorrow. Mars in Virgo will kick in some needed organized action that will help you do tasks in the easiest way possible. Just let the Cosmos work its magic and go with the flow. Lavender can keep the vibes, thoughts, and emotions calm and healing today. You may feel like you're getting downloaded with wisdom or information. Exhaustion and wonky sleep patterns are common now. Use Bronzite or Hematite to help ground your energies. Turquoise will increase healing. Again, Solfeggio tones for sleep or relaxation will be beneficial tonight. Know that you're loved and guided by the higher realms! The energy of Virgo relates to the Hermit Card in Tarot. With the strength of Leo - as a companion energy to the Moon - go within and make peace with any unresolved soul bruises.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Sunday August 8, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 8, 2021:
Feeling courageous? This Lion's Gate brings in an extra vibe of newness and connection with a New Moon in Leo occurring at 6:50 am (PDT/USA + 8 hrs UK). Sirius - also known as the Spiritual Sun sends its energies. All of the past opportunities to let go of old or worn out beliefs or actions have been leading up to this moment of spiritual renewal. All manner of energy on Earth will be washed with today's magnetic healing. You can ignore it, but it will still do its work to accelerate spiritual ascension. Whatever resistance that has stopped progress will be released. Watch for changes not only in your own countenance, but in the world's, too. Awareness is part of ascension and it's being supercharged today!
Moon in Leo is often described as being on an ego trip. But, it also can support you stepping into the highest and best version of yourself through love, kindness, and creativity. Do you trust yourself? Your thoughts will accelerate intentions and their manifestations. It is especially important to listen to your genuine intuition now. Messages from the collective designed to hold you back may add confusion this coming week. Pay attention to your hunches, knowing, dreams, and trusted loved ones. The Cosmos and higher realms bring in the transformative vibes. It's up to you to use them to create new beginnings, love, and abundance. The power of the number eight is unleashed. Abundance, prosperity, and infinite possibilities are yours! Create a most beautiful day!
The star Sirius is the second brightest light in the heavens. Only our Sun is brighter. Diamonds, Carnelian, Clear Quartz, or Blue Topaz will help you harness and transform with today's vibes. There are free offerings of music or Solfeggio 888Hz tones on YouTube that help usher in the energies. Ask your own energy or DNA to release false messages. Blessings to you!
