The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Thursday December 30, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for December 29, 2021:
Focused wellbeing. Today's energies are bright and full of easy vibes that encourage you to finish projects and look forward to new ones. Pluto and retrograde Venus push for transforming your beliefs about love and passions to be heartfelt. If you're only in love at the mental level, things could fade away in the future. Moon in Scorpio finishes her stay by giving you extra room for wishes and insights to grow. The trick? You must allow your beliefs to expand with the new paradigms of wealth and health.
At 3:08 pm (PST/USA + 8 hrs UK) the Moon will enter Sagittarius. This Moon will guide us out of 2021 on a high note of joy and anticipation for greater things. Do not be the one who holds you back. The fiery vibes love to be assisted by Citrus scents or Cinnamon to increase abundance. Citrine is an overall helper today. If you're really interested in drawing in multiple dimensions use the stone mentioned yesterday - Lazulite. It has a tendency to assist you in finding increased self respect and peace and to vibe at higher frequencies. Make it an excellent day!
Be sure to take a moment and give gratitude for all of the soul growth you've gained this year. Hug your loved ones! 2022 is just around the corner!

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Wednesday November 17, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for November 17, 2021:
The Moon is now traveling through the sign of Taurus and building towards the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on Friday. It should be a magical time and on some levels it very much is that. Today, however, Mars and the Moon oppose each other. This can make for sudden releases of energy through anger and chaos. This isn't a time to stoke the fires of drama. Instead, stay in your core and work from your spiritual nature. By now, we're all pretty tired of the endless conflict during this year of change. The Taurus Moon is generally an icon for peace. If you'd like to see less drama be the embodiment of love and peace today. Be aware of your surroundings and stay away from large groups.
Turn the edgy energy into fuel to finish up projects before Friday. You may feel the need for Obsidian or other protective stones today as Mars in Scorpio makes its power known. If you're already being affected by the upcoming Full Moon use both the Obsidian and Rose Quartz to balance out the vibes. Sage is excellent to clear and cleanse any funky vibes. Or, use Cedar to add protection. The energies are swirling and building up to a very important time where both the Full Moon in Taurus and the eclipse will affect any beliefs that are rooted in old information. The vibes are intense and you may sense a wake up call or need to finish anything you started around the time of the Lion's Gate on August 8th. Since Taurus and Scorpio are both very sensual energies you may also feel romantic. Relationships - dynamic and destined to be - are especially affected at this time. The more you are truly yourself the more the Cosmos will respond to you with incredible speed.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Tuesday November 16, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for November 16, 2021:
Initiation is key. Jupiter and the Aries Moon are bestowing the stuff dreams are made of. Pluto also would love to transform something - anything - today! But, the key to it all coming your way is your effort. It's as simple as putting out your plans in "I" statements. Own your stuff! Then, let the Cosmos know that. If you're already on your way then use these energies to network, bring ideas to the drawing board, or to do an excellent job on a project and complete it. The Sun in Scorpio provides extra spidey senses to get the information you need. Be alert to new viewpoints or ideas that can be integrated into your own.
Lots of time the Aries Moon would love it if everyone skipped out of obligations or work to have fun. Today, though, the excitement comes from creativity and the possibilities for the future. As the overall vibes of the collective rise, the level we play the game also rises. Enthusiasm will be a superpower for the rest of the year. Money making ideas will get a boost when the Moon moves into abundance oriented Taurus at 6:18 pm (PST/USA + 8 hrs UK). Plan on giving yourself a little extra pampering tonight. That will balance out all the energy you expend being goal driven today. How the day goes is up to you and your choices.
🌛🌚🌜The vibes may begin to feel a little surreal. Friday's Full Moon in Taurus is also a partial lunar eclipse. This one will be very strong as it lasts over 3 hours. We haven't experienced this in our lifetime.

Pull Apart Pumpkin Bread!!!

Pull Apart Pumpkin Bread!!!!

The Gypsy Homestead Food-Vibe of the Day:
Easy Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread with Biscuits
Ingredients
1 can flaky biscuit dough (or use homemade biscuit dough recipe below)
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup butter melted
3/4 cup pumpkin pie puree
Homemade Biscuit Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoons unsalted sweet cream butter cold
3/4 cup whole milk
Instructions
Homemade Biscuit Dough Directions
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the butter into small pieces, then use your fingers to work cold butter into flour until the mixture feels like coarse crumbs. Add milk, stirring until the dough begins to form.
Flour your cutting board, then place your biscuit dough onto the board.
Roll biscuit dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Fold the dough over in half, then place in a bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
Remove dough from fridge and repeat the steps of rolling out the dough and folding the dough over in half. Refrigerate dough for 30 more minutes.
Add more flour to the cutting board and roll your biscuit dough out one more time, again to 1/4 inch thick. Use a 3 inch circle cookie cutter to cut out 6 biscuits.
Prepare a baking pan with non-stick cooking spray, then place your biscuits on the pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
If Using Canned Biscuits, Start Here:
Pre-heat oven to 350°F and coat a loaf pan with non-stick spray.
Remove from biscuits from the refrigerator and peel each biscuit in half. Place the halved biscuits back on the baking pan.
Using a small bowl, melt 1/2 cup butter in a microwave for 10-15 seconds.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
Dip each biscuit into the melted butter, then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Spread about 1/2 Tablespoon pumpkin pie puree on the center of all but one biscuit.
Begin stacking biscuits, finishing with the plain biscuit on top. Take the entire stack of biscuits and lay on its side in the loaf pan.
If using canned biscuits, bake for 25-30 minutes. If using from-scratch biscuits, bake 35-45 minutes. You'll know it's done with the top is golden brown and center is cooked. Exact cooking time may vary based on your oven and how soft you like the center.
Remove from oven and paint the top of the loaf with a bit of melted butter. Finish with a dusting of cinnamon sugar.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Friday October 22, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for October 22, 2021:
Surround yourself with good vibes and enjoy the Sun's last day in Venus ruled Libra. Finish up tasks in the morning hours before the Moon in Taurus goes Void of Course at 1:35 pm (PDT/USA + 8 hrs UK). After that, the Cosmos let's "school" out early and you can drift off into your own thoughts or socialize because - why not? This could be the lull before the storm as the Sun prepares to move into intense Scorpio and the Moon enters Gemini. Once it happens the energies will increase and things may take on a greater importance than previously thought. Check your own feelings this morning. Perhaps you'll need Onyx for protection. Or, if you're in a good space - Clear Quartz can help you clearly see how the shifting vibes are unfolding for you. One thing is clear. No matter how deep or mysterious things get over the next month - as the Sun travels through Scorpio - the world really isn't designed to self destruct.
For today, give yourself the gift of inner peace. Put some ground Cinnamon or dry pumpkin spice mix in a small bowl and let its goodness waft out into your space. Your thoughts drive your journey. Add uplifting scents and your positive thoughts together and you'll be more than okay. If this "five" year is meant to teach us anything it is that we are far more powerful than we allow ourselves to imagine. Try your superpower called love on today. Choose to be happy! Communications will smooth out this weekend as Mercury continues to move forward. Venus is in Sagittarius and that makes for a good time for socializing. Catch up with loved ones!

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Thursday October 21, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe October 21, 2021:
The vibes are mellow today now that the Moon is traveling through Taurus. Over all, this Moon creates some clunky energies when she meets up with the other planets, but between her sweet vibes and those of Sun in Libra, we can forgive the Cosmos and just chill. The one kicker is Uranus wants to stir things up, but use his energy to lift your spirits. Work at a pace that is comfortable for you. As the Sun moves through his last days in Libra he's sending messages of peace, love, and justice. Listen to your inner voice and then watch what's going on in the outer world. Send out pink bubbles of love and let the drama slide on past you.
Taurus Moon loves it when you wear or surround yourself with Rose Quartz. It increases self love - one of this year's lessons, BTW - and gentle change. Let it draw in the feels, words, or gestures that speak to you. Each day you form your destiny, whether you know it or not. So, take a moment and decide what you'd like to do today. Let you inner voice guide you. Still want some fiery vibes? Use spices to draw them in. Prefer a more mellow aura? Use Lavender or Rose in your space. Kindness will go a long way. You may be an angelic helper for someone else today. Yep. Be that person! The Sun will enter Scorpio late Friday or early Saturday depending where you are in the Northern Hemisphere. Enjoy the last vibes of Libra. They're full of Venusian wisdom.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Wednesday October 20, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for October 20, 2021:
Asserting your power. The Aries Full Moon illuminates the need to be ready for what is coming in. It also shows us where our powers are and how to use them. The Hunters Moon prepares us for the season of Winter or dark hours of the year. In combination with the Sun in Libra, we see the balance between being independent and part of a larger team. Today's energies lend themselves to pushing for ambitious plans and acts by letting your talents shine. Rebel against the status quo and live a little.
The day's energies are slightly clunky, but the Full Moon vibes should lift you up and over the bumps. It's just too good of a time to waste feeling down or depressed. Send your light and heartfelt thoughts outward today. Be silly. Tell jokes. Be kind. Later, the Moon will move into grounded Taurus. Then, you can slip back into a routine. Moonstone or Merlinite will help draw the vibrant Full Moon energies into your energy field. Use Cinnamon today as a way to compliment the season of Autumn and honor the fiery lunar energies. Create a happy and productive day!
The Full Moon occurs at 7:57 am (PDT/USA + 8 hrs UK). Then the Moon will go into her Void of Course phase until 12:59 pm. Then, she'll enter Taurus and settle down. During the Void of Course phase go inward and give yourself some gratitude for showing up for your life and journey. You deserve to shine!

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Tuesday October 19, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for October 19, 2021:
Me versus Me. The Moon is now moving through Aries in opposition to the Sun in Libra. The Moon call for you to break away from the crowd and do things on your own. But, socializing and working with others in harmony is what Libra Sun loves best. Finding the middle ground can be tricky today. It's best to stay out of drama and unintentional arguments by doing a bit of socializing and exploring on your own. Besides, the vibes of Mercury in Libra are still sorting themselves out after being retrograde. So, choose your words carefully. Grab some Clear Quartz to help you with discernment and clarity today. The cosmic energies are getting noticeably better, but you may need to stop long enough to feel them.
Moon in Aries isn't always the most aware sign when it comes to working with others. Make an effort to clarify what others are talking about to avoid misunderstandings. Positive self talk will be really beneficial today. If you are successful or more motivated than yesterday then let yourself know it. Your reactions to almost everything that crosses your path will determine how well your day goes. You may want to Sage your space to create a cleaner and upbeat atmosphere. Rest tonight so that you'll have energy to embrace the Aries Full Moon on Wednesday. Ride the waves of goodness! Watch out for nervous tension and overreactions as the Full Moon energies build. Head bumps or headaches are common during an Aries Moon. Chill and take deep breaths to release the pressure. It will all get done!

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Monday October 18, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for October 18, 2021:
Things slowly turn around. Ambition gets a boost this week as Mercury and Jupiter go direct today and the Moon is Full in Aries on Wednesday. Awareness is key as opportunities will slowly begin to unfold, but it will be up to you to pay attention and respond. The Sun is spending his last week in charming Libra before heading into deep and unyielding Scorpio on Saturday. There will be a sense of constant change this week. Be sure to balance your time between work and rest. Since the Sun in Libra loves to promote social occasions be sure to watch whom you socialize with. If they're energy vampires or have fallen out of vibration with you - lower your involvement with them. Otherwise, it's an excellent time to enjoy the input of others.
The Moon enters Aries at 3:04 am (PDT/USA + 8 hrs UK). The opposition vibes between the Sun and Moon will become more apparent today and tomorrow. You may find you wish to blaze your own trail. But, in the big picture, it's best to make plans right now and act in a few weeks. Your cosmic job today is to catch the wave of enthusiasm, but don't step on toes or let anger irrevocably burn bridges. It will be a balancing act for the next three days. To help with that use or wear Turquoise. Some find Smokey Quartz to be helpful. Try Rose or Rosemary to promote a balanced and loving heart. See the world through new eyes and choose to have a good day! Jupiter goes direct early in the morning and Mercury follows at 8:17 am (PDT/USA + 8 hrs UK). You may feel slightly disconnected as the planets shift gears. Be very gentle with yourself and loved ones. We're moving away from being held back in some matter.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Sunday October 17, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for October 17, 2021:
Please be good to yourself, today. The Cosmos is throwing a lot of mind fueled energies at us via the five planets traveling through air ruled Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Turn off the constant chatter inside and strive to just be. Not everything needs a constant narrative playing in the background. By being quiet you can begin the hear your inner voice - the one that is your cosmic GPS. With the Moon remaining in Pisces, it's another good day to commune with the unseen your angelic help. Most of all, give yourself a break from your usual routines. Rest. Read a book. Why? Because the Cosmic vibes are about to break loose with Jupiter and Mercury going direct tomorrow. You'll need to be ready to go!
Pisces Moon loves it when we delve into the arts of divination and connections with divine energies. If you feel like spending time with others perhaps you can read Tarot cards or cast Runes. Selenite and Sage can be helpful today. Remember that one of the Sun in Libra's duties are to balance out your vibes. Lots of energy is being released by others and the Cosmos. Today is your day to heal and recharge. Jupiter goes direct at 10:30 pm (PDT/USA + 8 hrs UK). In Aquarius, his aim is to bring in new and abundant innovations and ways of living life on planet Earth. Joy is the name of the game. Be sure you're ready to accept the messages and support from Jupiter!

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Saturday October 16, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for October 16, 2021:
The Moon has quietly slipped into uber psychic Pisces for the weekend. The Cosmos is saying it's time to take a deep breath or two and relax. It's okay to be slightly unmotivated. The Moon would rather you have time to day dream, engage in divination, or take a nap. Socialize with loved ones, if you feel like it. Otherwise, spend time on things that lend peace to your soul. Amethyst and Lavender will help smooth away the rough edges. Be true to yourself and relax today. Rest and relaxation can be very healing to a jangled mind. We're in the last days of Mercury retrograde in Libra and that's causing us to have to think overtime to stay on track.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Friday October 15, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for October 15, 2021:
Today's vibes are similar to yesterday's, but the cosmic focus in more on your inner world and soul lessons. Studying new information that will open doors for you is at the forefront. Jupiter's sending all sorts of positive energy that supports expanding your horizons. Try a combo of Black Tourmaline or Hematite with Clear Quartz today. One will help keep you grounded while the Quartz will open up channels for new information. The energies are air-ish again today. That's good for intellectual pursuits. Listen to your intuition when dealing with others. Everyone is being affected by the winds of change in some manner.
On a more work related level - finish up projects that are ready and double check any communications you send out. The last shadows of Mercury and Jupiter retrograde are still in effect. But, they'll go direct on Monday, the 18th. Have fun and don't take yourself or others too seriously. Go somewhere or meet with people who uplift your soul. Wear or use Patchouli again today as it will help with clarity and feeling joyful. You are in charge. Choose to make it a beautiful day. Oh, and a random act of kindness will spread the joy around. The outer world is gearing up for big changes. Stay out of fear and stay aware. If you quiet your mind, you can feel the good vibes under the chaos.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Thursday October 14, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for October 14, 2021:
Today is so filled with good vibes it will be difficult to know where to focus your intentions. Moon in Aquarius is kicking over the mental barriers that we often give too much power over us. Venus and Mercury get in on the action by adding enthusiasm and free thought. Yep. It's time to do something you've wanted to do for no other reason than that. YOU want it. Let the mundane drone on with messages of fear and lack. You don't have to buy their shtick today. Or, ever. Remember this "five" year is about gaining your sovereignty and the courage to be you.
In the big picture teamwork and real cooperation are on the agenda. Put plans together and see if they're workable before launching anything new. Why? Pesky Mercury in Libra retrograde is still hanging around until the 18th. For now, work out the details and see where improvements can be made. Grounding stones like, Black Tourmaline and Hematite, are beneficial because there are six planets in Air signs today. Something has to balance out all those unfettered vibes affecting you. Feeling a little flirty? Have fun and be light hearted today. Patchouli can give you a boost. Wear the bright colors and turn your music up. It's that kind of day! The Cosmic good vibes will be around on Friday, too! Plus, Jupiter will be working to expand your horizons. Be aware of new opportunities.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Tuesday October 12, 2021

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for October 12, 2021
Going against the grain. The energies are mostly discordant today as Moon in Capricorn and the Libran Sun create standoffs and divergent points of view. The illusions of the outer world are falling down now that Pluto and Saturn are adding their positive power to the energetic fabric. The black stones listed in yesterday's report will be beneficial again today. Protecting yourself from being swayed by those that want to remain asleep is crucial. Your truth is your power. Rely on it. You may want to work alone or in a small group today.
The Moon will stay in Capricorn where she pushes for working until the job is done. That can feel boring, so add some fun and uplifting vibes by cooking with Basil. The body can be achy and muscles and joints can be stiff. Take care of yourself. Ideas can come out of the blue and they'll be unique where gaining abundance is concerned. Plan on a few quiet hours tonight as a way to recharge your own energies. Mediation with Solfeggio tones of 432 Hz will help with healing. It's very important to balance activity with rest now as the vibrations change in the outer world. Solar energies have been directly affecting Earth, although they're less intense than usual. Foggy thinking and aches can be a result.
