      A spectacular supermoon lit up the skies across the UAE, and the globe, on the night of July 13.
      Known as the ‘Buck Moon’, this supermoon is the biggest and brightest of 2022, being approximately just 357,000km from Earth during its orbit. That’s 200,000km closer than the last supermoon in June, the Strawberry Moon.
      If you didn’t manage to catch the supermoon in the skies last night, not to worry. Many residents across the UAE captured some spectacular photographs of the moon illuminating the sky, appearing much larger and brighter than can usually be seen to the naked eye.
      Here’s some of the best photos captured of the Buck Moon in the UAE.

      If you weren’t lucky enough to witness this supermoon, the next one set to light up the skies isn’t far off. The next supermoon, known as the ‘Sturgeon Moon’, is slated to appear around August 12, 2022, according to NASA, so mark your calendars.
      For those who are keen astrologers, the recent full moon was also known as the ‘Full Moon in Capricorn’, which may have pointed to a big decision that needed to be made. Read all about it here.

      A ‘cold, unemotional’ full moon is coming – here’s everything you need to know

      A cold, unemotional Full Moon in Capricorn looks to be having second thoughts about an intimate relationship.
      It points to a decision that needs to be made. It looks like someone got a little too close for comfort. Perhaps the image they wanted to portray in a partnership wasn’t quite right. Someone wants to be recognised as more important than they may in fact be. What a mess. Emotional control is at play.
      If they want to change the game plan, let them. Why not get what you need to say out in the open? A cover will soon be blown and real feelings revealed. There is no need for the inevitable nastiness about the whole situation that may be simmering inside; keep to the facts. The stars say: act with wisdom, and patience, don’t be wiled into their game. Above all, be respectful.
      You may be feeling super sensitive because of your insecurities. That’s Capricorn for you, he hates tears, drama and weakness in another. Women appear to handle this particular Full Moon better than men. Why are they so broody? There is introspection and curiosity around the time you risked and possibly lost.
      What is your intuition telling you? If you value your health and your heart, this is nothing more than an uncomfortable move to a better place. Mars in Taurus in the 8th house suggests elimination issues – so listen. Your body may well be feeling the same. Doesn’t it feel better when a ‘blockage’ has cleared?

      Others will soon be around for you – are they picking up your broken heart? Comedy heals, so learn to laugh at yourself; others will love your self-deprecation. Who knew you had the funniest stories about how you missed the obvious clues that someone was stringing you along with their tall tales.
      You will like this one. Revenge looks to be sweet as the devil wants to strike once, hard and fast for you. Even he wants you to let go of any disheartenment and take a break. He is dying to show off what he can do. Remain at arm’s length. This time you can just sit back, watch and wait for his pièce de résistance! Mon Dieu!
      Step back from the drama and make peace with your life. End relationships that aren’t working by July 26 to 27.
      On a positive note, who is travelling to a foreign land? I bet you can’t wait. Is it for business or somewhere you can improve or build on your career? Your energy will need to be a little more contained for where you’re going or what you’re doing, but expect your light to shine. Pull back on what you already know and go with the flow; it’s not forever.
      The Full Moon in Capricorn asks you to put yourself, your work and your thoughts for the future, first. Others may think you’re a little conniving, but you are simply showing those who love you how you play the game of life and win. Who is following in your footsteps? What impression do you want them to have of you?
      Take control by using your head not your heart.

      What’s in the stars for Eid? Here’s everything you need to know

      by

      Lifestyle

      Words by Kirstyn Lewis – Founder of the Karmic Soul
      My goodness! How does the universe know it’s Eid? Because he knows everything. The planets have been waiting to have some fun with you. The following two weeks see a lot of ‘love’ flying about here, there and everywhere. Whatever you want to say or do, make sure you do it, again, with those you love. One particular person appears to shine in your eyes. With Jupiter, the Planet of Luck, putting a spotlight on relationships and you this year, you are after the most desirable results, but aren’t we all?
      A fast-moving and talkative Mercury knows it’s holiday time because he is moving at the speed of a Bugatti. Mercury also knows he needs to give your brain a rest after leaving Gemini and all those animated, witty, exciting, and those charming tête-à-têtes behind. Then why are you experiencing some anxiety? There’s a lot going on.
      Mercury has now stopped into family-loving Cancer for the next two weeks from July 6. We all know there is nothing like a good home-cooked meal and a catch-up with mum and people you love to be around. Make sure you take the time to enjoy time around the kitchen preparing your favourite meals and laugh about happier times together. You’d also best to get those that count on your side for what’s to come next on your journey.
      Be quick, Mercury has places to be and people to see. On July 20 he will be roaring off to meet party-loving Leo.

      Mercury made a telephone call to Mars on July 6 when he moved house also. They hatched a plan to be on the guest list at the hottest parties in Ibiza. Are you warming up and making plans also? You should be! Leo season always equals fun in the sun.
      Not everything will seem smooth sailing just yet because Jupiter is still trying to create some drama by putting a relationship in the limelight. Someone is not happy with being ignored, but you are not happy being told what to do. Jupiter can be like a kid with too much raspberry cordial, he’s irritated for sure, so surround yourself with love and ignore any perceived manipulation or emotional imbalances for now. In a month, you will have forgotten any drama and you will all be happy campers again. Someone is learning what it’s like to either grow up a little or have more patience.
      Mars is changing energies on July 6 and moving out of a frenetic and demanding Aries into a more comfort-loving, luxurious Taurus. Your senses are so stimulated you will want to revel in the sensuous feelings he conjures up in you right through until 20 August; why not?
      Mars will also give you quality time with the people who matter most in your life. Is it someone dear to your heart? Keep a low profile with others, they don’t need to know your business. Your intentions look to be kind and pure but heaven forbid! It looks like some very lusty thoughts are flying about, but the stars say you’ve got nothing to lose by using your womanly wiles and having some fun.
      Even the internet is your friend, so dial-up and surprise them with a little something unexpected. See it for what it is, and don’t push for a commitment, particularly if you’re single. You don’t want to scare them off. The object of your fancy will enjoy the banter or fantasy of any instinctual urges you have leading up to July 12. After that, things will take on a serious, more emotionally reserved note on the eve of the Full Moon in Capricorn when you will need to cool things right down.

      Luckily Mars in Taurus until August 20 will help give you more introspection, so go with the flow. He will heighten your reasoning powers.
      Remember back to the beginning of 2022, what were you hoping to achieve this year? Where you are standing today, it looks like one foot is heading in the right direction, and the other is slightly off track. It’s a test, so be careful what you wish for. Luckily you are being given extra stamina which will get through the sticky bits. Someone may well be invested in your future at the moment, are they helping you emotionally or financially? They are an angel with the biggest halo and fluffiest of wings. Bless them.
      Lastly, we should mention that Mercury is very career conscious right now and is actively trying to help you climb the ladder of success. It would help if you played the game. Something is uncomfortable, it’s awkward, and not easy. Don’t overthink things. Take it one step at a time, know your parameters, and realise that if you stay where you are right now, it will only offer you some short-term comfort. Who wants to come back and repeat the process all over again, perhaps with less favourable results, when the opportunity to go for it is right there. This year your foot should be on the gas.
      Things are still playing out beyond your control and they may not necessarily be on your terms. Don’t be surprised if others think you appear rattled. In fact, even those who are generally in control may seem a little unsettled. What’s going on? Are you secretly fact-finding at the moment trying to sway a situation? Be careful; you may likely miss whatever information you are hunting for, whilst doing what you do in haste and obsession.
      Destress, let the Universe take care of you. Why age prematurely and unnecessarily? After all, love and laughter is the best beauty treatment we know right? You should be looking very fine and dandy by early August.

      Everything you need to know about the New Moon in Cancer

      by

      Lifestyle

      1 minute ago

      Words by Kirstyn Lewis – Founder of the Karmic Soul
      This morning we are all waking up to the glorious New Moon in Cancer, where she is at her happiest until just before dawn on July 1.
      We won’t see it, of course, as the moon sits in her shadow but you will feel this lunation, she is making sure women are being noticed. She asks us to be more receptive, caring, sensitive and loving toward others. Cancerians are famous for synchronising their moods to the waning and waxing of the Moon.
      Although we may feel empowered, we can also expect to feel a bit like our fair Moon Maidens, moodier. It seems whatever you have to say may not be taken seriously. This is inflaming things for you as it relates to your value system. It begs the question: what will be revealed by the Full Moon in Capricorn on July 13?
      Cancers will be in the thick of it, our mystical Scorpio friends will be keeping a low profile knowing it was all going to kick off (and probably started this whole quagmire), Pisces tried to tell you so, and Aquarians, Taurus and Gemini gals can expect to fair best. Good luck everyone else, see you on the other side. Show us what you’re made of!
      Cancer rules breasts, the stomach and motherhood – those matters will be highlighted and at the forefront, particularly this week. Women may even seek you out in your home for advice, which will affect them long-term.
      Did you know women can be unusually fertile during the New Moon in Cancer if your moon cycle is in sync with her?
      It appears a partner or beau is very encouraging of what you’re doing in and around work; you may even be travelling overseas or committing to higher education. An intelligent foreigner can easily fall for you (your accent or popularity); luckily, they admire your selflessness and kindness to others.
      Are you putting yourself first for a change? You will score more points if you. Hopefully, you are chasing your dreams, working in the public eye, or an area related to women. The New Moon favours those in media, writing, academia, charity work and law.
      One precursor is to be wary of quick results and those you cannot intuitively or entirely trust. You may feel someone is trying to dent your image. Perhaps you are insecure generally; either way, diplomacy will win the day; keep your thoughts and hearsay to yourself. You’re better off hanging out with those who believe in you.
      By the end of the week, you may be bent on revenge. Is someone attacking you for something you strongly believe in? Again, you would be wise to keep any drama totally separate from your work life.
      Thank goodness, by July 7, you will be back on track again. Keep a low profile as your psychic energy is a bit wired right now. You don’t want someone calling you crazy, right?
      Let the spirits flow through you until the Full Moon in Capricorn rolls around mid-July. You will look back and realise you were more emotionally capable and far wiser than you believed and the Universe had your back. Power-up, ladies.

      Everything to know about the super full moon in Sagittarius

      by

      Lifestyle

      by Team Emirates Woman
      1 minute ago

      Words by Kirstyn Lewis.
      Almost everyone should be feeling upbeat about now.
      The Full Moon in Sagittarius is gracing our skies on June 14, 2022, highlighting social popularity and contagious enthusiasm but you may have noticed those beams already working their magic.
      Mercury was so excited by the Full Moon that he timed his arrival into Gemini simultaneously. He wanted to give you a keen, alert, and expressive mentality.
      Although this is a more gregarious lunation than usual, she also brings sensitivity and awareness to others’ needs. Have you noticed others’ gravitating to your fabulousness in the past day? Yes, your warm and loving nature is a beacon of light right now. You can expect to be on the minds of others you enthused over the past day or two before the week is out.
      Take an opportunity to bring joy to others with your fancy footwork. It looks like you can delight others with a fabulously fun, unpredictable, or impromptu performance. Okay, there is always your living room to prance about in. Turn the music up either way.
      Whatever you’re up to, you’re guaranteed to attract those who love to be around spirited people. There is nothing wrong with being remembered for your happy-go-lucky attitude and magnetic personality, even if it’s fleeting.
      The moral of the story is that either way, try not to be cooped up indoors. Make sure you phone a friend, meet for drinks, or hit a party or two.

      Some may find you will be rubbing shoulders with those who can open doors for you if you’re at a loss to find some direction. Someone is watching over you as fortune has a funny way of shining upon you. Now is the time to speak up.
      This week highlights laughter around conversations with childhood or school friends.
      Alternatively, it appears you will enjoy animated banter with those everyone loves to be around. Are you chatting about stories of travel, adventure, or how you first started out in your career? Stories peppered with risk or how you followed your heart and landed your perfect job will be astonishingly entertaining, so what if they are embellished? Everyone is having fun.
      All in all, good times are to be had. Leave the woe of romance in the closet for now; life will work them out for you soon enough.
      Lastly, the Sagittarius Moon brings news that’s been a little slow in arriving, you’re now impatient. It relates to something that sets you up over the longer term and could produce a unique outcome. Are you nervous? It will be a fork in the road toward a brighter future. You will want to be on the phone to share the news with others, someone appears to be delighted for you, especially if it involves a prestigious organisation or institution.
      Sadly, good things end far too soon, and by June 15, 2022, you will want a few days to chill out; you may have even hit the wall. But don’t worry, you will be ready for a slightly more subdued but equally memorable weekend ahead.
      Tip: Be aware of mood swings, your impulsivity could be in such high gear that it leaves you prone to anxiety and we all know where that leads.

      Mercury Retrograde is officially over – here’s what to expect next

      by

      Lifestyle

      Words by Kirstyn Lewis – Founder of the Karmic Soul
      So, did you make it through Mercury Retrograde? Are you in one piece?
      Mercury on June  3, 2022, has moved forward again through Taurus and will be back where it started, in Gemini by  June 14. Give him the weekend off so he can move out of his retrograde shadow. He needs time to hit his strides again, he’s mentally exhausted, as we all are. You will be pleased to know you have passed another celestial test.
      Think back to the first three weeks of May, although your energy will be far from sluggish as Mars, the planet ruling your energy, is now in Aries giving you the impetus to do things. You are no longer indecisive. Forget any ambiguity for the next two years or so, you’re on a mission, or at least your spirit is. There’s no point in trying to outsmart the powers that be, but you’ll try I’m sure.
      Are you still contemplating the choices you made in and around work and health? The stars want to say thank you for listening to your intuition. It was the right thing to do. I hear you saying “did I really make the right decision?” Stop. You’re overthinking things and second-guessing things you needn’t.

      What you want is coming your way, don’t stress. June is easing on the breaks, giving you time to regroup.
      The Pisces, Aries and Taurus houses of our birth charts are particularly busy so pay attention to the topics they activate for you until mid-June or connect with your favourite astrologer for personal guidance.
      Gemini season typically means we spend an innate amount of time contemplating or talking about everything going on in and around our lives. Hot topics will be our career, work, health or our love life – if it remains unfulfilled or confusing. Are you trying to sleep through the problem? Or are you writing about it? Perhaps dreaming of one-upmanship? Are you happy at work? Probably not. You’re daydreaming. Perhaps you’d rather not be there! The days are long.
      Perhaps you’re not valued. You are really good at what you do but I’m sure you are simply being held back. It may be time to rewatch the Jane Fonda/Dolly Parton/Lily Tomlin film for inspiration. You’re also tired of know-it-all types. Work things out yourself, with the help of the internet if you can. Stay fluid and open and focused on what would you really love to do.
      You’re more organised than usual and prepared for anything that comes your way. Are you working on something secretive? It has long-term implications. Your mother or someone who represents maternal energy will be the most understanding of what you’re about to spring upon the family by the end of the month.
      With the full moon in Sagittarius on 14 June, it’s going to be action-packed. What’s going on? Get the popcorn ready.
      Listen out between June 17 to 25 for surprise news. It’s ‘fly on the wall’, heart over head, life-changing or even a last-minute decision that is more thought-through than others think.
      Venus, ruling love, romance and yes, money, will be switching things up by June 24 with the usual trickery Gemini loves to bring to the table.
      The New Moon in Cancer at the end of June will be quiet and soulful. Book a spa treatment, organise dinner with mum, or simply order in and watch your favourite rom-com. You’ll be thankful on the New Moon night you did.
      Quick glimpse ahead: August is looking a bit messy, as a lot will be demanded of you, (probably self-inflicted). Watch for unwavering family opinions. They want to call the cards on a long-term commitment you are ready to make (including any potential partners). Okay, so you may be able to blag your way through, but you’d be better to have a full-proof strategy; they’ll run out of steam soon enough. More on that closer to the time but you have the heads up now so you can navigate your way through with less stress by planning ahead.

      Everything to know about the new Moon in Gemini this May

      by

      Lifestyle

      by Team Emirates Woman
      1 minute ago

      Words by Kirstyn Lewis. 
      Are you feeling all fired up with no place to go? As we lead into the Black (New Moon) in Gemini on 30 May the stars are reminding you that before you start something new, first you need to prepare for it. The Black Moon is the second New Moon in May so signals a complete change in perspective and you’re ready.
      Helping you out is energetic Mars making an exact aspect to the giver of gifts, Jupiter, something that only happens every two years. Aries excites them so much that they may easily ignite some quite ardent and uncontrollable sexual desire. Watch, however, for irritability and tempestuous petulant outbursts.
      On the flip side, Mars wants you to be successful and Jupiter is doubling down, shoulder to shoulder in the house of good fortune. What you want can be yours if your energy is channelled correctly.
      This all happens, very conveniently, on the eve of the New Moon in Gemini, 29 May. Are you finalising a plan that may take you away from your current situation or your usual group of friends? It’s somewhere where you can truly shine, or at least catch up on endless animated stories and belly laughs at the expense of what you left behind. Wherever you are is either a result of a long-awaited journey or something related to a dream job, one that helps you find your fortune. Everything will come together but is not quite there yet. Mercury needs to station direct on June 3, he is still retrograding through Taurus helping you pay closer attention to whatever it is you are working on. Expect results from 5 June onward.
      A new chapter lies ahead as you say goodbye to the past ten years. What you wanted back in 2012, you don’t anymore. You’ve learned a lot and know there isn’t anything you can’t handle moving forward. The Universe asks you to believe in yourself as the Full Moon appears in Sagittarius, on 14 June. Someone you love could well be watching from the sidelines cheering you on.
      The current waning moon leading up to the New Moon is a wise one that is slowing down the rapid speed at which you likely fell into your new relationship. This lunation wants to talk about the next step in a commitment. It’s a go-slow on the love talk – you need more time but “Shotgun Weddings” are not out of the question either! It suggests you need to come to terms with the more undesirable aspects of your match. Next month is the time to have a more productive conversation about what bothers you.
      if you’re living in a fantasy world and stuck in a ‘not going anywhere’ situation, let things fall away. You seem to be making a last-ditch effort to hang on to the familiar, past behaviours that get you the same as before. Otherwise, you’d already be where you wanted to go.
      New relationships look to have the green light from friends, but a secret underlying tension exists as you ponder your future together. You are not ready for any about turns or changes of heart now that you are fixated firmly on your beau. You need to steer this thing and make sure it survives the distance!
      Are you already committed? Spice up your relationship and treat yourself to a short, unplanned, and relaxing break away. If you can’t escape, enjoy Gold Class at a blockbuster film or go to a concert together. Even a sports event will have you both cheering or swapping banter with the crowd. Your mission is to do something different, you will love your time together.
      Gemini can now be the star of their show, they’re been in hiding or locked away. They are now ready to fully express their opinions, but it may just be another ‘fly by night’ conversation that they will soon forget. Gemini is best to avoid dispensing potentially insensitive advice that they may regret before the week is over. News travels fast amongst friends.
      Poor Cancer may feel they’ve been left out of the fun, but don’t worry everyone loves you. Scorpions are operating very happily under the radar, just know we don’t need to know what they’re up to.
      The big winner looks to be a chilled Taurus, who is rolling with the punches, Pisces are in dreamland and so floating along and Capricorn is also in good shape, neither looking for love nor money, they confidently have it all together, for the moment anyway. Okay, so they are not a quintessential bucket of fun for the rest of the zodiac, but he who laughs last laughs loudest.
      Virgo remains more cautious than ever, are they waiting for yet another left of centre, didn’t see it coming, but secretly did, surprise? It’s fine, they are ready for anything. Cool, calm Aquarians remain, as per usual, in control, just don’t ask any questions whilst they beaver away at something that is bound to have people talking. Brilliance takes time, so don’t rush them. Leo, Libra and Sagittarius can just sit back with some popcorn and watch from the sidelines for the moment. Your time is coming.
