Full Moon in Gemini: Time to Release Old Thinking and Belief Patterns

On Tuesday ( December 13th 2016 at 4:05 PM PST) we are having a Full Moon in Gemini, which will be the last super moon in a series of 3! Since October, I'm sure a lot of you have felt the intense energy of the Full Moons and now that energy is about to hit it's last point. We've had a period of releasing right before the new year, so we can go into it ready for a fresh start. 

Mercury Retrograde is right around the corner (starting on December 19th, look out for a post about that!) so this week before the retrograde and during the retrograde, we are taking a look at the past and issues we've been carrying around, so that we can finally release them. 

With the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius, the 'axis of the mind' is being highlighted. That means that the main things we have to let go of during this Full Moon are our old beliefs, thinking and thought patterns that aren't serving us anymore. No more stinkin' thinkin'!

There are a lot of aspects surrounding the Full Moon as well, which I will now discuss. 

Saturn conjunct the Sun and opposing the Moon

With the Moon across from Saturn, I would say beware of sinking into a bit of depression during this Full Moon. Saturn is working in a more beneficial way with the Sun though, so perhaps depressing feelings won't be too big of an issue. Full Moons are known to be emotional times though. With Saturn touching the Sun it should help us restructure our thoughts and beliefs and help us deal with things a bit more practically. 

Mars trine the Moon and sextile the Sun

These are nice aspects involving Mars. This brings some action oriented energy. Especially with the energy of Saturn there is an air of getting things done. This is truly the week to get things done before the holidays as Mercury retrograde starting next week could slow things down. Mars is of course influencing us to take action with releasing our worn out thought patterns as well of course. 

Uranus trine the Sun and sextile the Moon

These are some nice aspects that bring the energy of change. I'd say mostly good change though, so don't freak out. Something nice and unexpected could come out of the blue as well. Uranus being in Aries is also pushing us to release beliefs and thought patterns holding us back from being our unique, quirky and independent selves.

Jupiter trine the Moon and sextile the Sun

Yet another good aspect! Jupiter is inspiring positive growth and has been making a lot of aspects lately as well. With Jupiter's year long transit through Libra, relationships have been highlighted. This is the one aspect of the Full Moon that specifically could have to do with relationships because of this. Letting go of beliefs and thinking that no longer serve us could help us have more harmonious and compromising relationships at this time.

Chiron square the Sun and Moon

This is the hardest aspect of the Full Moon. Chiron has been coming up a lot lately, which is why I wrote a post about it recently, which you can checkout here. We are being majorly encouraged lately to let go of our wounds. Especially how they are affecting our thinking and beliefs about ourselves and life in general. With Chiron's transit in Pisces, the best way to heal any wounds would be to connect spiritually. Positive affirmations may be an extremely powerful way to change our old thought patterns as well during this time. 

~ Overall this is a powerful Full Moon! Remember to do your best to release those icky thought patterns that have been keeping you stuck. It's time to make way for more positive thinking in 2017!~

The Closest Super Moon in 68 Years: November 14th Full Moon in Taurus

On November 14th 2016 we are having a Full Moon in Taurus. Not only will this Full Moon be one of a series of three Super Moons, it will be the closest Super Moon since 1948. 

A Super Moon happens when the Moon is closer to the earth than normal. This means that this Full Moon will be the closest it has been to the earth in 68 years. We're going through a period of Super Moons that will last through December. We had one last month, which was pretty intense if I may say so myself. Now we are having the closest one of all. This means that the energy of the Full Moon is very, very magnified. 

Full Moons are all about releasing and letting go of things that no longer serve us. Since this Full Moon is so close, this is a huge time for release. Whether it's letting go of old beliefs, behavior patterns, or getting rid of a particular situation in your life, it is certainly time to let go. On a side note  Full Moons are a great time to clear the energy since it is a time of release. You can do this using whatever method you prefer to use. 

The Full Moon is occurring with the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio, so the energy is all about themes of the Taurus and Scorpio axis. On one hand the energy is about stability vs transformation. What part of you wants to keep part of your life stable and secure? What part of you desires something else, desires to transform yourself and your life for the better? We shall have to find a middle ground between the two, but I will tell you the Moon is urging us to not  stay stuck in the way things are and the Sun is urging us to transform and change for the better. This Full Moon could be hugely transformational if we tap into it's powerful and positive energy. 

A particular energy that could manifest during this Full Moon is the energy of possessiveness or jealousy. Possessiveness is a trait of Taurus and jealousy is a Scorpio trait. Of course the point of Full Moons is to let go though, so it's important to let possessiveness and jealousy go. Remember that you don't own anybody, the only person you have any control over is yourself. Also remember to not focus on what you lack and what other people have. Focus on what you do have, not what you lack and not what you fear. It's time to transmute these energies. 

Money is a small issue that could be brought up for some people since Taurus energy rules your personal finances and Scorpio rules other people's money. Perhaps some people need to find some sort of balance between the two or may be dealing with some issues regarding this area. 

Taurus is a nice placement at least for the Moon to be in because the Moon is exalted in Taurus. No matter what issues come up we should be able to at least find some sort of grounding if we choose and to deal with things in a practical manner. It's a good time to find practical solutions and to take practical action. 

The one aspect the Full Moon will be making will be to Chiron. The Moon will be sextile Chiron and the Sun will be trine Chiron.  This aspect is bringing the need to heal to the forefront. Chiron is making positive aspects at least, so this is definitely a healing influence. We have an opportunity with this Full Moon to heal some of our wounds and issues. Chiron has been in Pisces for quite a while now and with Chiron's placement there a great way to heal anything during this Full Moon would be to connect spiritually. The Scorpio Sun energy is supportive of this as well. 

~This is quite the Full Moon we have on our hands! The energy of this may have been felt a week or so prior and will probably be felt a week or so after as well. So be aware of that. Overall I'd say don't forget the beautiful power of letting go and the magic of transformation. I wish you all the best in getting through this intense planetary time. ~

New Moon in Aquarius: Innovative Ideas , Friendship and Community

On January 20th 2015 at 5:14 AM (PST) there will be a New Moon in Aquarius. There isn't a lot going on with the New Moon as there are no aspects it is involved in. However, it is a Super Moon, which means that the Moon will be closer to the earth, so this New Moon may affect us more than it might otherwise. 

Aquarius is an air sign, which means Aquarius is related to the mental realm. Aquarius is particularly known for innovative ideas and thinking outside the box. This means that this New Moon may give many of us some great new ideas. If any of you have been stuck in a creative rut or been looking for a solution to a problem, this New Moon may be just what you need. 

Aquarius is a friendly sign, it encourages us to make new friends and to become part of a community.  This New Moon may bring some new friends or connections to some of your lives. If you want to feel a sense of community, but don't belong to one, perhaps an opportunity to join one will arise in your life. Perhaps some of you will be pushed to join a social media site or to become more involved on a social media platform you are already on. Social media combines technology, networking, and a sense of community. All of these things are related to Aquarius, so social media could be something that you feel more drawn to during this New Moon. 

Overall this shouldn't be a very intense New Moon, even if you feel some of the effects more strongly because it is a Super Moon. Aquarius is not a particularly emotional sign, so whatever happens with this New Moon, it shouldn't be too emotional. To see how it will personally affect you, looking for any Aquarius in your Natal Chart would be a good place to start. 

Super Moon in Aquarius: Time to Let Go of Those Fears

© Lisa Falzon

On August 10th 2014 at 11:09 AM (PDT)  there will be a Full Moon in Aquarius. This will be a Super Moon and the closest one of the year. Super Moons affect everyone more intensely than a typical Full Moon, and this particular one has a lot going on with it aspect wise, so expect this Full Moon to have some strong effects.

Now let's talk about what's going on. To begin with the Sun is in Leo and the Full Moon is in Aquarius, also Mercury is conjunct the Sun. Basically the desire to do what you want to do and creatively express yourself (Sun and Mercury in Leo) is at odds with your desire to do what other people want to do and what would make them happy (Moon in Aquarius). There may be a juggling act going on between the desires of the Sun and the Moon. To top it off Saturn in Scorpio is square to  the Sun , Mercury and the Moon. Saturn in Scorpio may bring up some fear or paranoia about Aquarian and Leo issues. There could be fears about being approved, being able to express yourself, belonging, or  pleasing others around you. Saturn could also make some people desire to try to control the situations that could be making them paranoid. 

Saturn may sound like it's causing trouble, but in reality Saturn can help you figure out what's been holding you back. It can help you discover any fears you have about self expression, approval, other people etc. so that you can let them go. Full Moons are all about letting go anyways, so it's important to let any issues go, so that you can experience a wonderful balance between yourself and your needs and other people and their needs. 

~Overall, this Full Moon will probably be intense, but it is helpful because it can help us realize and release our fears. I hope everyone has an empowering Full Moon and don't forget to let it all go!~
