Scientists are still uncovering data that New Horizons recorded and sent home after the encounter. July 14th, yesterday, on the two-year anniversary of the flyby, the team is unveiling a set of  detailed, high-quality global maps of Pluto and its largest moon, Charon.

 

Pluto who rules the zodiac sign of Scorpio touches upon a special regeneration for all Scorpions and Pluto’s moon Charon is a remarkable world in its own right, sporting a unique red cap and an enormous canyon called Serenity Chasma, which is more than 1,000 miles long and, in places, twice as deep as Arizona’s famous Grand Canyon. New Horizons revealed for the first time how that Pluto is a complex and mysterious world.

Fun Facts: Happy National French Fry Day!

Because it is National Fry Day here in the USA, There are some fun facts about this delicious snack.

1. French fries are not French at all; the French fry originated in Belgium, the little country between France and Germany.
2. French Fries have many names, from chips in England, to pomme frites or frittes in France, Belgium, and Germany.
3. Different countries eat fries different ways. In Canada, poutine (which are fries topped with gravy and cheese) is practically a food group; England loves their Malt Vinegar, Australia loves there fish and chips which are fries to us here in the States and places in Europe love mixing their ketchup and mayonnaise together. 
So in honor of this fun day, enjoy the best way you like to eat French fries. Maybe you love just plain o’ fries or you love to add BBQ sauce or hot sauce to them. Enjoy!

Intuitive Eating: Baking Ballerina 

Baking, I’ve discovered over the years that it brings me joy and the sweetest kind of healing. 

The notion that baking could provide a form of therapy has been around for years, and growing up as being a professional ballerina for the NYC Ballet at age 14 brought upon a very strict food regime. Baked goods was such a “no-no” and have been restricted all my life from these foods. Until recently, it has become even more important to dive into baking and eating foods I naturally enjoy. 

Baking demands exact measurements and ingredients, and doing things at a slower pace can help you feel calmer. Baking also provides a sense of aromatherapy,  the smell of baked goods.. these kinds of scents tend to boost positivity and relaxation. 

Following a recipe is wonderful, but one of the best parts of baking comes with the decorating portion of the project where creativity comes into play. The opportunity to express yourself (yes, even if it’s just with icing) can improve well-being as well as your ability to communicate. 

To baking,

Full Moon in Capricorn

This Sunday July 9th there is a Full Moon in Capricorn (17 deg), and you’re likely already feeling it!

Full and New Moons are influencing us whether we realize it or not, The tide goes in and out with the moon’s new and full moon phases, and likewise our emotions are triggered by planetary movements. Knowing about what the planets are doing helps make sense of behavior and feelings.

 

What message does this Full Moon bring to us? There’s quite the feeling of electricity in the air, which can leave you feeling buzzed. This Full Moon is a degree away from Pluto in Capricorn. The Sun and Mars are opposing them in Cancer. Mars isn’t extremely close, but in this case we’re definitely feeling Mars energy, Pluto energy, and Saturn energy.

 

Full Moons amplify emotions and bring things to a head. Astrological events don’t create issues that aren’t already within you or around you somewhere. They bring things to the surface or to your attention so that they can be addressed, ideally in a healthy, positive way (that’s where knowing these triggers are happening becomes useful!). It presents a push to explore opportunities or get out of your comfort zone and express your needs.

 

The Full Moon may bring up questions like… Is there anything I’m not expressing? Are my needs or desires being fulfilled? Is there something in my life needing healing, closure, transformation or release?

 

This Full Moon is in practical, ambitious Capricorn, squaring Jupiter in Libra. Jupiter is all about expansion and abundance, and a square is a challenge and that can make things feel a bit tense. There may be some dreams you are really wanting to move into right now, The Full Moon brings your emotions to a climactic moment, so you could feel like you are about to explode, Don’t give up! This is a time to step away, take some deep breaths, do some yoga, go to a workout class, get out in nature, have a swim in the ocean, bake some cookies, anything to clear your head which is  being filled by a climax with intensity.

 

 

The Full Moon is pretty much right on Pluto. Pluto is all about deep, deep transformation. He’s about diving in to our shadow side and seeing what we’d usually rather avoid or confronting what we have a hard time owning about ourselves (both the good qualities and the not so good). Pluto asks us to look at how Power and Control are manifesting in our lives. Where is it appropriate to let go, surrender and trust your Soul to direct the show in ways you may not currently understand? Pluto helps us get clear on these lines, although we usually go through quite a bit of push/pull/resistance before we get to the clear part! Keep up and keep going!

 

Pluto will ruthlessly destruct anything we have outgrown, and whatever no longer serves us. Pluto gets you onto your highest evolutionary path, and he tends not to do it in a gentle way.  With this Full Moon right on Pluto, more people than usual will feel his energy and so be aware of the fact that this weekend can trigger a short yet intense dark night of the soul for some. Nurture yourself, take care of yourself and if you can, extend some nurturing to anyone in your circle who is going through a hard time. It is going to be a big Full Moon weekend for sure!

The Evening Recharge Routine

Before bed, wind down with a warm drink. A great suggestion is a boiled cup of milk, it could be almond or coconut milk made with a touch of ginger, cardamom, and sugar.

Hot drink before bed helps disengage the mind from the senses and promote falling asleep easily.

Prepare for sleep by rubbing almond, sesame or coconut oil on your feet, ears, and even head at bedtime can go a long way towards physically relaxing our bodies. It has an incredible, calming effect that Ayurveda recommends for improved sleep.

Being In The Flow

When you practice intuitive living, you automatically feel more in the flow.  You’re in the right place at the right time more often, you talk to someone who gives you the answer to something you were questioning, opportunities come your way that align more with what you want.
