Full Moon in Leo- Alarums and Excursions




Drama for your nerves, baby!! That has been the theme of this Full Moon, and it sure as hell made an entrance! Celebrities dropping like flies, political and economic drama, fights and flashpoints popping up all over the place- It’s enough to make anyone want to call it quits and schlump in the corner until it’s over! You’re not just anyone though. You have made it through worse than this, and you have greater challenges ahead. This is mundane by comparison and well within your ability to handle!

Morrigan: I title this reading "The Fox vs the Wolf:  Full moon in drama, 2016."  

SUN  Queen of Disks
MOON  Prince of Wands
MERCURY  6 of Disks
VENUS  Judgement (the Aeon)
MARS  Knight of Wands
JUPITER  Ace of Wands
SATURN  2 of Cups
URANUS  Ace of Cups
NEPTUNE  The Chariot
PLUTO  Queen of Cups

They call the full moon in January the "Wolf Moon", which is just perfect because we are definitely being circled by viscous, ego-maniac wolves right now. Get your spears out. We're going to need to keep these crazies at a distance using super sly, prince of wands Fox magic.

Let’s get to it, shall we?
The Sun, Moon and Venus- YAAAASS finally some of that good LEO energy, henny! After that (not quite as bad as you think it was) Saggo/Cap season, we are in AQUA, baby! Now we are fixing to turn the party! Before we can do that however, we need to contend with Venus, in Cap. The little issues and slights that were building in the last New Moon have come to a head in full force, and you can clearly see what needs to go in your life, plain as day. There is no compromise here, not anymore; you HAVE to overcome this before you can progress. The change can be made slowly, but you cannot allow your momentum to falter. Even if you only make small steps every day, these steps must be made. Some days you will do better than others. Accept this. Celebrate your victories and do not allow your defeats to stop you. You can wallow later; right now there is work to be done.

Morrigan: Oh boy, oh boy, my favorite time of year! What a friggin relief. We NEED the chilly, detached Aquarius sun to get us through all of this bombastic drama and emotional water works.  Here comes the weird, estranged loner. He is going to channel all of this energy and focus it around community and social change. This is a perfect time for activists to raise inspiration and emotional support for their cause. For the Aquarius sun I got the Queen of Disks. This will be our stabilizing force. She is water/earth energy, so she is earth mother. Gaia herself. We need to remember how to care for ourselves (and those we love), and the only way we can do this is by detaching from all of the lunacy around us. Pay attention to what matters. The Queen of Disks, and Aquarius, both remind us how important our independence is. In order to participate in the collective, you must be able to stand on your own two feet first. You need to learn the healthy dance between caring for yourself and caring for your community (back to that Mercury 6 of disks energy). This queen reminds us to be caring and compassionate (which Aquarius truly is), but to also tend to our own kingdom and possessions (be they physical things, ideas, or feelings). Leo moons are supposed to be fun.They are generally festive and jovial, but this one is like showing up to a party and running into your ex and their gaggle of loud, drunk friends. What I pulled for the moon is Prince of Wands. That's some showy shit. When I look at this card in this position, I am getting the mental image of a lot of people running around displaying their "talents" openly and demanding respect and attention for it.  Yeah.  It's going to be fucking annoying. You're going to see a lot of soap boxes, but remember what I told you about boxes on the Capricorn new moon- BURN THEM TO THE GROUND. There IS a real message that is trying to come through, but you're going to have to wade through a lot of "false prophets" first. *But once you see it, you will know it.* The people who are channeling the inspiration you will need to guide your evolution - who are speaking the information that is going to help you breathe some real life into this emotional hell of a time - are going to glow like fire. This card can be associated with the fox spirit. There is a playful trickery going on, but if you are worthy - if strategy is your game - you are going to navigate your way through this storm and into some truly inspirational stuff. Leo is the eternal flame of the heart. The light at the end of the tunnel. The defibrillator. And we really need some of this shit because that last Capricorn new moon sucked the life out of us. We are worn out, bleeding from the gut on the battle field, taking our last breath when finally *AAAHHHH* a hot as hell medic comes running our way flipping their hair like fucking Baywatch. In this card, the Prince is being pulled by a lion, Leo himself it seems. This lion is going to carry us out of here, and he is going FAST so catch him while you can and keep your eyes open at all times for his presence. This is a time for light bulb moments. This is the time for connecting the dots and finally seeing the whole picture - everything come full circle. So, put on your diamond encrusted stilettos (the obvious weapon choice for this full moon) and fight your way through the dramatic, viscous shit while looking fabulous. Realize that everyone is playing their "role" on crack right now. Like full on cartoon depictions of their personalities, so this is also the perfect time to learn the ways of the cunning fox (the Prince of Wands is Fire/Air energy, so think witty, quick, poetic, on the go inspiration). I have officially warned you about the drama, you most definitely see/feel it, so use it to learn a valuable lesson about human social interactions. This is the sharpening of your weapons, this is where you learn cunning so you can do battle with the emotional siege from the Uranus-Pluto square. We got Judgement for Venus. I don't particularly like the sound of that, but we really did need some sort of restraint. She will be in Capricorn at the time of the full moon and will probably try as hard as possible to get the party out the door before bed time. She is reminding us of our values. She is telling us to keep Karma in mind and not to slip into some sort of drunken coma from our Leo influenced escapades. She is the designated driver, the responsible friend who is going to hold our hair as we throw up (all the while complaining loudly about how we should have stayed home in the first place). She's probably going to be a horrible, bleating wing man, so forget about her amping up Leo's romantic qualities. She's here to remind us of everything we have going on - remember your values - remember your goals - remember where the fuck we are going because we can't go all Party Monster and end up making a mistake we can't go back on. Remember, Venus is victory, so she is really looking out for our win in the end. Take her lesson to heart. Venus is giving us some reigns on the situation so use them for everyone's sake (especially your own).

Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto- Okay, yes; at first glance this is some scary Astro. It is certainly cold, calculating Astro that suffers no fools! It’s also exactly what you need right now. It’s time to make big moves and tough calls, and nothing says mega-transformative like this Astro.  Whatever you are trying to beat, can be overcome RIGHT NOW, if you are willing to make it happen. It will be easier than ever, but you must put in the work. Sure you will have distractions, and shit that tries to trip you up, but stay focused and you will be able to beat anything. All it takes is the effort. Prioritize your goals and ignore all else.

Morrigan: PLEASE GODS MAKE IT END, PLEASE MAKE IT END. Mercury is 6 of Disks in this reading, which is associated with moon in Taurus energy. 6 of disks is all about knowing how much to give, knowing what to give, and knowing how to give it (yum hehehe). There are a lot of people vocally demanding a piece of you right now, left and right, with viscous words in tow. They think they DESERVE something of yours, and you're stuck in a crap situation because you gave too much. You just fed the stray animals and they are coming back, night after night, demanding food when you don't even have enough scraps to put on your own table. There has been a wave of exploitation and depression that has hit the collective unconscious (I hope you all rode that Capricorn wave well and ended up getting some good foot holds), but at least we're actually talking about it now. You need to know when enough is enough, and you have to put that remaining energy of yours into the relationships that are truly symbiotic. The God Mercury [Astrogeek starts twitching uncontrollably] carried the caduceus which heals the sick and brings the dead to life. The caduceus can also kill the living if Mercury pleases, so, in other words, we're at this fucker's mercy. As much as it has sucked, the lessons of this retrograde were probably needed. There was something that we really had to hear that we heard; some truth exposed that will allow us to better trade our ideas with others. We learned some sort of strange, emotional economic system. This entire explosive display of ego really humbled us, and now we are ready to go back to truly sharing. Saturn is square Neptune, which is challenging us with self defeatist energy. For Saturn I got the 2 of cups, or Cancer in Venus energy. You're going to need a lot of love right now. Structure some time with people you care about in your life, because things are heavy and emotional as hell at the moment. Build love into your life as a routine, and by that I mean actually set time aside to be with people who give you warmth.  You're going to need all the self love and friend love that you can get. Surround yourself with Cancer type people who will hide under the covers with you and make you hot cocoa. Honestly, it will make a world of difference. Hang out with your tribe (remember, the people you are in symbiotic relationships with). They are your life blood and emotional support you will need. You will get through this. The self doubt is crippling, but everything you need is right at your fingertips.  Love yourself. Build that love. Build yourself up with love. Make love the bones - the structure - that holds you up. Hearts all around, love is the law. Ace of cups for Uranus in Aries while it squares the hell out of Mercury. Ugh I'm so sorry- This is just adding to the emotional, verbal outbursts people are having. Crazy emotional cups overflowing in the planet of crazy. But this could also be a positive time for inspiration. With all of these overwhelming emotions + Aries energy, we could really start communicating things that really need to be communicated. Don't sacrifice the self. Stop letting everyone steal your thunder. You are the thunder! This is a time of emotional transformation. It's better to drink from the cup and get drunk on the inspiration around us than drown in it. So start swimming. The wolves are going to nip at your tender heart strings, but use the sun in Aquarius to chilly detach, and then pounce like the cunning fox. You desire change, especially emotional change, so act on it. The potential for transformation is there. For Pluto I pulled the Queen of Cups (water/water energy), and she is squaring Uranus in Ace of Cups. There is GREAT emotional transformation happening, and there is a lot of fire stoking it. Essentially, we are boiling. This Queen of Cups is reminding me that all of this squaring off between Uranus and Pluto is making us far more emotionally evolved. We are going to become the rock in the stream, not bothered by it's passage over us. We are learning all of our emotional lessons, and even though all of this fire and water is making us crazy, a lot of light will be shed on what has been held and repressed inside of us. We are getting rid of our emotional weaknesses. We may be in the dark underworld of emotions at this moment in time, but, as Carl Jung stated, the tree that grows to heaven must have it's roots deep in hell. Cry. Let it out. Tell people how you really feel. It will transform you for the better.  

Mars and Neptune- Weird energy here. In one way, it works to insulate you from the outer bullshit that threatens to drag you down- In another way it drowns your enthusiasm and puts you into a sort of dream state, where your cognitive dissonance allows you to be completely unbothered by everything on an emotional level. The way to use this is to fully embrace the Flazedah nature and sleepwalk through the hell around you, but not to stop moving. It’s like sleepwalking on Ambien, and it’s the pro strat here.

Morrigan: Mars is playing off of Knight (King) of Wands energy. Holy shit. With Mars trine Neptune, we are in a time of illusions. No one is who they seem, and sexual energy has run rampant (and sexier than ever). It's magic time, and we are getting a great re-charge of spiritual inspiration.  There is a clear warning here. With the "glamouring" coming from the Leo moon coupled with the "glamouring" radiating off of Mars and Neptune, we have to really be able to separate the fakers from the real deal. Stay cunning. Remember your advice this moon is to "be the fox among wolves." Mars square the Moon will clash Prince with Knight, so I can guarantee there will be some intense drama.  People are guaranteed to get explosive, and fast, and you have to be wily to get your way out of it. The moon is how we protect ourselves, and knowing how to perform the appropriate role at the right time is going to be what saves you this moon. Don't forget to learn your lines or to follow the fox spirit. The Mars trine Neptune is giving us a lot of courage right now (probably delusional courage, but whatever), so USE IT. Also, I see sexy times. A lot of sexy times. Hell yes, the Chariot! The chariot is all about conquest and overcoming oppression. We need to get the reigns on this Neptune and ride it like a charioteer. Pisces in Neptune may bring a lot of illusion into the world, but it also brings a lot of spirituality and insight. There is magic everywhere, truly, and we have to battle our way through this drama and hold on to the little bubble of hope we have found. You may be getting some intense messages through your dreams right now, so pay attention. You might just get the code/plans/instructions you are looking for. The Chariot is represented by Cancer, and the charioteer must be able to flow around the battle like a raging river in order to gain their victory. Pisces being in Neptune gives us this much needed slippery quality (again, a need to be slippery like the fox).  
      

Jupiter- Saving the best for last! Even though Jupiter is retrograde, this is SUPER amazing Astro. He is conjunct the North Node and making all sort of fun aspects to the minor planets. So, this is where these super bold plans for your future are coming from. Roll with them, write them down, fully realize them as much as possible before you act on them. This is not the time for action, but you are too full of ideas and plots to not explore them. Just refrain from jumping off too quickly- Plot before you jump, but you most certainly are going to make a flying leap, and soon! The goal right now, with this Astro, is to know where you are going first.

Morrigan: Don't sleep on Jupiter. He has been telling me he is up to more than we think he is, even if he is in restrained Virgo. The Virgo just means he's planning. The Virgo means he has been plotting something obsessively (philosophically as well, so lots of logical diagrams), and has finally had a eureka moment. He's ace of wands in this reading, so we have a lot of empowerment of the self (which plays well with the Leo energy). Don't forget who you are, and don't forget your highest ideals. They really are the fire that is lighting your way - your literal torch. This is a good time to formulate a creative way for self expression, and with Virrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgo being a Mercurial sign, you have all of the potential in the world to communicate your ideals in a very inspirational, creative way right now.  Jesus, can I say inspirational enough in this reading [Astrogeek: Probably not as many times as you made a fox pun!]? Anyway, hold on to hope. It's there, I promise. You're about to find a way to express your highest ideals into your daily life, it's just at it's budding process (aces are beginnings) so don't snuff out the flame on accident. Believe in it and stoke it. This is the time to meld the big picture with the details - which brings on the eureka moment. So, in summation, my advice is this:  "Be the Fox" is your mantra. They may be surrounding us, but we're smarter, hotter, and master illusionists.

New Moon in Capricorn- The Trouble With Dreams


Ninja by Ivan Otero, CCL

Astrogeek
: OKAY SO! This is one of my famous shotgun posts, as this shit snuck up on me somehow, and now you get me writing my balls off, half-drunk at 2:41 in the morning- Full disclosure. *sips bourbon*Great start to 2016, Astrogeek, classy as shit like always…

This sure as shit doesn’t feel like a new moon, no siree… This is halfway between a full moon and an eclipse. This is a test. You have to prove your mettle on this one y’all. So, again I ask you: WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT? You have the power to make anything come to fruition that you want, but only that which you put work into. Your effort and willpower will define this stage. Sure, you may DESIRE certain things like a new relationship or a bigger bank balance, or peace on earth; but you cannot get the first one if you're going out every night and trolling hookup apps, and that is doubtful for the second, but its entirely possible that you have invested in a company like Lockheed Martin, and therefore are a war profiteer, and probably have a decent bank balance! See how my clumsy metaphor barely makes any sense? That’s the Astro talking, I think. Either that or I need to stop doing bodyshots off of strippers….

And we all know THAT’S not going to happen!!

Anyways, wherever you focus your efforts, you will see growth and change, BUT anything that you are not willing to actively work toward, you might as well ignore. Because there is no cavalry coming- It’s just you, standing alone against the horde. Your strikes will count, but you have to swing your swords for that to matter! You have to show up to the battle, you have to be in the trenches! Most of 2016 will follow these rules- You’ve been skating by far too long, now you actually need to nut up and put your money where your mouth is!

Morrigan Dervishi
: Oh boy oh boy, this year is already starting out... fun.  It's 2016, folks.  Let's break this down:
New Moon in Capricorn Tarot Spread

Sun - 9 of Cups
Moon - 4 of Cups
Mercury - 8 of Swords
Venus - 9 of Pentacles
Mars - Ace of Pentacles
Jupiter -  Queen of Swords
Saturn - 8 of Cups
Uranus - 8 of Wands
Neptune - 8 of Pentacles
Pluto - The Emperor

The 20th card of the tarot is called JUDGEMENT and the 16th card in the Tarot is THE TOWER. That sets the tone for this year.  Our world structures are about to EXPLODE and the Capricorn new moon is making us completely jittery about it.  What?  Structures?  Exploding?  Nightmare words for Capricorn, and Capi's nightmares are surely on our mind.  We have Mercury, the Sun, the Moon, and Pluto are all in the sign of the devil goat.  We want to build.  We want to make something out of all of this, but it looks like we are getting a lot of interference from Uranus, Mars, and Neptune right now.  Uranus is 8 of Wands in my reading, meaning he wants us to know he is back in full swing and plowing through everything.  Do not forget where he is coming from.  Who's pointing the Uranus laser beam gun right at all of our Capricorn dreams right now?  Aries.  Blood god energy.  But he's got a formidable opponent. 

The Sun, Moon, Chiron, Uranus, Pluto- UGHHHH NO. More self-reflection, more old pain drawn up, and more bullshit flashpoints and losses that are completely beyond your control, but eventually seek to move you to a new era/arena of life. Beware of zombie romances. Old news. NEXT!!!!

Morrigan Says
For this beautiful vortex of a new moon in the sea goat, I pulled the card 4 of cups.  The 4 of cups is all about moping around, and that's exactly what this new moon energy is dragging us to do.  Woe is me!  I don't have any of my shit together right now!  Shit is exploding around me and I don't know what to do!  Yeah, it's screwed up, but this card also reminds us that everything isn't futile.  Stop crying over spilled milk and look into your heart.  You're disillusioned by everything around you because it's all going to burn soon.  It's cardboard houses, so light your flame already.  Deep down, at your core, you have always known what it's really about, so stop giving your energy to the powers that be and rise to your own power.The sun in this reading is in the 9 of cups, which is also called the wish card.  It looks like Capricorn is really what we want right now, so we need to stop fighting it.  Don't let the delusions get in the way.  Remember, ground that Neptune.  Pluto is represented by the Emperor in this reading (which is associated with the sign Aries itself), wielding his transformational power over everything right now.  Pluto is larger than life AND IN CHARGE!  He is powering us up.  Telling us where to go.  There is a lot of power right now in taping into his energy, and he is rallying everything around him.  You might not THINK you have the power (Mercury IS in retrograde after all), but you've definitely got the power.  You're in charge.  Stop building what they want you to build and start building for YOURSELF. Capricorn is challenging us to start climbing the mountain, baby, but we have a lot of shit just holding us down.  We can't even get over the foothills because we are in such a panic.  What a troubling feeling.  I know, I know, just end it already, jeez.  4 of Cups is traditionally associated with moon in cancer energy, so it looks like we're being a little sensitive right now.  Get up.  Get out.  Let's go.  This is your queue not to get buried in all the bad energy going around.  Stop thinking that some white knight is going to come and rescue, because they are not.  Uranus will shoot them out of the sky before that friggin happens.  Power up that goat devil energy we have in our weapons kit right now, and slice through this shit!

Mercury Retrograde, Pallas Athene- Second verse, same as the first…. NEXT!!!

Morrigan Says: 
Poor little Mercury doesn't seem to be doing so well.  I pulled 8 of swords for him, which is literally interference.  Traditionally, this card is depicted as a woman standing in a circle of swords wearing a blindfold.  She thinks she is surrounded, but there is an open path in front of her if she either A. removes her own blindfold or B. makes the leap of faith and just moves forward already.  Makes a lot of sense for Mercury retro, doesn't it?  We're scattered and we have no idea that the opening is literally in front of us.  Mercury is literally sitting on whatever the answer to our question is right now, and it seems to all have to do with Capricorn. 

Venus, Saturn, Black Moon Lilith- Oh for fucks sake…  All of your old tricks will suddenly reappear and then promptly kidnap you, expecting a lifelong commitment right off the bat. DO NOT ACCEPT, they’re the same old crazy bitch that they have always been. Also- save yourself, the damsel in distress trope looks bad on all of us. NEXT!!!

Morrigan Says
Venus is in 9 of Pentacles, meaning more grounding.  We need to nourish our relationships before they rot and kill our anxieties and kill our blindfolded Mercury right now.  Stop taking things out on those around you.  Nourish them.  9 of Pentacles is Venus in Virgo energy, so we need to really pay service to our relationships right now.  Help build for them.  Saturn is 8 of cups, meaning we need to leave behind all the things that aren't benefiting us and those we love right now.  This card can also mean some profound realizations our coming our way.  He is reminding us that yes, we quite literally are walking away from the delusion right now and striding into the things that truly matter.

Mars, Neptune, Juno and Vesta- Finally, something that I can use; Unfortunately, I covered this in the intro. You will need to make decisions, right here and now as to how you want your future to take shape. You will need to make sacrifices. It will hurt, and nothing is a sure bet. Make your choice NOW, and stick to your guns. You CAN DO THIS. *takes drink break*

Morrigan Says
The TOWER (card 16) is ruled by Mars, who seems to be playing an important role this year.  I pulled Ace of Pentacles for him, meaning he is the root of all of our trouble right now.  There is no way we are getting around him, and we have to deal with his is "my way or the highway" attitude.  He's in Scorpio right now, his ancient ruler, so he's essentially a blood soaked barbarian coming out of a battle terrifying poor Mercury. For Neptune I got the 8 of Pentacles.  Prudence.  We need to ground right now and take daddy Capricorn's lessons seriously.  He is using Pluto to blast away these Neptunian delusions, and I think, by golly, it might just work out for us.  The cards are urging us to really earth our ideas right now.  They are saying root into something that's real so you can come down from the clouds, come down from all of the anxious energy around us, and start building your kingdom.  8 of Pentacles is all about grounding and working and building your dream from the literal earth.  Get serious.  So, let's bring all of those daydreams we have been stuck in to the light and take advantage of our super charged Capricorn abilities right now.

Jupiter, All the remaining minor planets including ERIS and some such nonsense- Look, Jupiter is retrograde in his most hated sign, Virrrrrrrrrrrgo. This doesn’t bode well for anything. Shit sucks, not just for you. We all have dreams and goals. Do what you can, when you can; and when you can’t, bide your time. Plot. Coil up to strike. You will get your chance but you may have to take a leap when the ground is falling out from under you and the only place you can jump is on fire. These things happen. Jump anyway.

Morrigan Says
Jupiter is Queen of Swords.  Slice through, baby, luck is on our side.  This is like pulling the sword of time out of the stone.  We've got the power!  Our abilities are inflated, and we can get to the heart of the matter.  She is the dragon woman, ready to use her emotions and her intellect as combined weapons.  Like a motherfucking vortex.  Jupiter's storm is going to pummel anything that comes in our way.  Go, little goats, go!  If this world is going to burn down around us, we are surely going to build a new empire on the rubble.  One that is true and from the heart.  The planet of philosophy and higher thinking is urging us to find truth and justice and use it as a weapon.  The Queen of Swords is associated with Libra.  This is our charge. So go, go go!  We can do this.  We've got devil goat energy and we are really sitting on the throne.  Let's just take these blindfolds off and fight some real battles instead of battles with ourselves and those who love us.

Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn/ Future 2016- Back To Hell

Torches in the Night by Marjan Lazarevski, CCL

Oh, here we go again… Yes y’all, right out of the gate in 2016 we have a Mercury Retrograde! That’s right- the transit that drags all the hack astrologers shrieking like harpies about contracts and data usage, or some such nonsense like the soot-ridden, rag-wearing oracles of old. Bless.

Now 2015 was a shitshow, we can all admit that now. Sure it had great moments, as all years do, but I’d never want to relive it if I had the chance, unless there was a LOT that I could change. I’m sure that I’m not alone in that, either. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what is on the agenda for this transit; fortunately, you have me to guide you through, like the Psychopomp himself, and have I ever steered you wrong before?

…Actually don’t answer that. Not sure my ego could handle it.

Back to Mercury! So hes going to be a right asshole this time, dragging you back through the drama of the last month or so, seemingly rehashing every lesson and failure of 2015, and glossing over your wins. No one wants a feel-good story anymore, there is only tragedy. Since it’s going to be mostly in Capricorn, this will mostly be concerns of status, and your place in the world. You will be made painfully aware (again) of just how low on the totem pole of society you are right now. This Astro will be cruel and cutting- Capricorn suffers no fools, and neither does Mercury to be quite honest.

Now, this is better than it sounds, because like all Astro, there is a purpose to it. The pressure and resentment of those above you who hold you down and crush you underfoot will build and build, and you will see a way to overcome it. That’s right, you’re not waiting anymore. No more Mr. Nice Guy; not with Mars in Scorpio (oldie, but goodie. In fact, the entire Scorpio Black Ops series is relevant again!), aiding and abetting Mercury. This pressure from without will build and build within you, and it will be up to you to allow it to explode, or channel it into building towards your own dreams- and what a year to do it! That’s right, its finally time to talk about the events of this coming summer, aka the conjunction of Uranus and motherfucking ERIS, in Aries! God help us all, these two are going to burn it all and dance maniacally in the embers. This was building last year, and still is, but will hit at the beginning of June. You are officially on 6-month notice. For now, channel the rage without suppressing it, every indignity and slight, while plotting the best revenge- getting out and living your life on YOUR terms. Use Eris, goddess of strife, to help you reach what you are striving for. You have been preparing for this since 2011, and while the odds have never been more stacked against you, it wouldn’t be fair otherwise with how far you have come. You can absolutely do this, you know you can. All it takes is doing the thing. Nothing to it!

Oh and no new phone contracts. Just to be safe.
