Full Moon in Libra: Time for Balance amongst Intense Change

I'm sitting here writing this right as the Moon reaches it's fullest point. It's been crazy in the cosmos lately, which is reflecting in our lives at the moment. As above, so below so they say. Reality is changing. The structures of society are changing. We're at a major moment of birthing a new way. In the midst of all this, now we have the Full Moon. It's time to release. To release some pressure and this sure does feel like a pressure cooker we're in at the moment. In particular it's a time to release so that we can find balance. 

With the Sun in Aries and Moon in Libra, this Full Moon places focus on our relationships. It's time to find some balance here. On one hand we have the Moon in Libra conjunct asteroid Juno in Libra. This is about one-on-one relationships. This could be about any relationships, but of course romantic comes about strongly as well. On one hand there's partly a desire to connect here. With the Juno aspect this can be pretty serious too. Juno is about committed relationships. Partnership. Marriage. This time could on one hand be bringing people closer together. Uniting in partnership.

The other side of this though is the Aries energy, which is all about the self and independence. There's  a balancing out of the scales happening here between self and others. I wouldn't disconnect entirely from others, but I also would make sure you're giving enough energy to yourself. This Full Moon is about having both. Releasing anything keeping this balance from happening. This makes a lot of sense if we look at the times we are living in because some people live alone and maybe need to remember connection and some live with people and maybe need to give more energy to themselves. You can have both. Really getting in tune with yourself right now, yet really growing closer in partnership with those around you. For some this could be big relationship turning points as well. 

At the time of the Full Moon we have a tense, electric aspect between Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus. This time can bring about unexpected events or change. It also though carries so much restlessness, angst, rebelliousness and anxiety. Our nervous systems may be on overdrive. There's tension that needs an outlet. Change is here and we must accept it. There's such a drive to break free and change, but from changes that have already happened if that makes sense. Accept the change. It won't help to try to rebel from change. 

The other big aspect going on at the time of the Full Moon is Mercury in Pisces sextile Jupiter in Capricorn. Our minds can start to think more optimistically about everything that's going on perhaps. We can see the bigger picture. With Mercury in Pisces though we can't really be too practical, we must go with the flow. Tap into our intuition. Follow our feelings. Practical clear thinking has not really been present for awhile because Mercury has had such a long stay in Pisces. We gotta have some trust and faith with this aspect. Optimism. Tune into what we truly 'feel' is going on. This could also be a time of good news in some respects or important communications. 

This is a tense time, but just remember to find balance in your relationships, to unite in partnership with who you love or those you love if you're not in a romantic relationship, to make sure your needs are met and you have time for yourself as well. Remember to accept change as radical as it may seem. To see the bigger picture and remain optimistic. Wishing you all the best everyone! 

Full Moon in Virgo: Time to Go with the Flow, Tune Into Your Dreams and Get in Touch With the Magic of Life

Mercury is finally out of it's retrograde right in time for a Full Moon in Virgo! Things are definitely reaching a turning point in our lives. 

With Mercury direct we're about to finally have more clarity. We've dealt with issues, reflected, maybe dealt with some of the past, but still probably felt like we were in a fog. Now as Mercury picks up the pace things start to make more sense. The pieces may be coming together. The fog will start to be clearing. Now we can move forward more. With more clarity. Now we can make decisions. Mercury is going direct in Aquarius where it will be briefly before moving back through Pisces. In Aquarius we can start to see solutions perhaps we didn't see earlier. Unique perspectives. Then as it moves back through Pisces as you go with the flow things can be revealed to you. In fact going with the flow and tuning in to all that is, is so important right now as during the Full Moon, the Sun, which forms half of the Full Moon energy is coming off of a conjunction with Neptune. This is where we should be focused as we move forward. We should be in a 'go with the flow' state. Trusting when we go with that more, we will be led in the right direction. It's a time to tap into your intuition. It's a time to realize the infinite potential. That you are not limited. It's time to tap into the dreams, your imagination, the magic of life. The romance of it all. Sure it's a fantastical type energy, but this is the energy we need to flow with. It's been intense lately in the cosmos, but now it's time to utilize what we have learned and processed to flow forwards and to dream big. Flow towards your dreams, the romance, the beauty. Remember your infinite potential. 

The Moon in Virgo is more of what we are releasing. The nitpicky ness, the perfection, the criticism. Don't worry about the details, don't think so small. Don't criticize the journey. It's time to release all that. Have your aha moments and just go with the flow. Think of the infinite possibilities, not all the little things that could go wrong. Sure there's a huge earth focus right now in the cosmos, so yes we are focused on the reality and shaping that, but this Full Moon is helping us release too much focus there. We shouldn't get too limited there. Time to dream. The Full Moon in Virgo is also just very purifying. Whatever you need to be purified this is the time for it. Can be good to get more healthy physically and all that as well. 

At the same time as the Full Moon, Venus in Taurus will be making positive aspects to the Nodes. It's a great time to get in proper alignment in terms of love and also what you love. There's a sensual energy of allowing yourself to enjoy life and it's pleasures. This is an earthy energy, but not a boring restricted one, it's one that reminds us that our reality should be one we enjoy filled with love and beauty. With the North Node in Cancer, we must tune into our hearts when it comes to love and projects. This Venus aspect is really beautiful. 

Honestly before looking at the chart for this Full Moon I expected to see something more intense, but this energy is beautiful if utilized honestly. We have more clarity, communication and movement forward. We are being urged to let go of nitpicking and focusing small. To go with the flow and open up to the infinite, romance, dreams, etc. To follow our hearts and enjoy life. Hey, not so bad a prescription from the universe! Go and experience that beautiful life. Quit looking at the details and worrying. 

Lunar Eclipse in Cancer: Release the Old Reality and Step Fully Into the New

We started the Eclipse season off with a Solar Eclipse on Christmas night. Ushering in a new world, a new reality. Now we are completing this Eclipse story with a Lunar Eclipse in Cancer today (January 10th 2020). We have started a new reality, but now we must release the past, old realities, old beliefs, rules and ways of being completely in order to step into the new. 

The Nodes are the points in which the Moon crosses the ecliptic. There's the North Node, which is in Cancer and the South Node, which is in Capricorn currently. Astrologically the North Node is an energy that as a collective and as individuals we should be moving towards. The South Node represents an opposite energy that is at times a balancing force and also represents an energy to let go of. Through certain series of Eclipses we deal with this energy. Moving in a better direction and learning new things. 

This Eclipse cycle is about the North Node in Cancer, where the Moon is at during this particular Lunar Eclipse. It's all about getting in touch with our emotions and feelings. Opening up emotionally. Opening up our hearts. It's important to follow this first and foremost at this time. 

With the South Node in Capricorn, which is where the Sun is at during this Eclipse, we need a solid foundation and structure from which to safely explore our feelings, open our hearts and follow our hearts as well. Basically we need a reality that is aligned with our hearts and feelings. Capricorn rules the bone structure in our bodies. If we think about it like that, we need a solid bone structure in which to contain our hearts and keep them safe. 

While that's the balancing energy of the South Node, there are certain things to let go of. Living life from a place of feeling obligated, fitting in with the so called 'rules', following the path set up by society, adhering to tradition and outdated modes of thinking. It's also time to listen to the voice of the heart instead of the voice of fear or restriction. Even the voice of reason some would say. 

Overall with this Eclipse we've reached a culmination point. A time to fully release. Hopefully our hearts have been opening, we're following them more and we've already realized a bit of what this new reality will be like quite recently. Now we need to fully release the past. Fully release blocks to our heart. Fully release fear. Fully release the old world. Old traditions. Old outdated ways of doing things, being and thinking. This is a big final release as the new continues to come into being. 

Now there's lots going on around this Eclipse. So much energy in Capricorn. We have the Sun, Mercury, the South Node, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto and even asteroid Ceres here. We are totally building a new foundation and world as we release the old reality. The core spark of our beings (the Sun), our minds (Mercury, our drive to expand (Jupiter), our inner authority (Saturn), our drive for transformation (Pluto) and our nurturing instinct (Ceres) are all teamed up now to create this new reality and release the old. With the Sun, we need a life that honors our truth, our inner spark. Old identities, old selves, need to go. With Mercury we need a new mindset. The old way of thinking, especially negative restrictive thinking, needs to go. With Jupiter, we need to allow our realities to expand and grow. To expand past what we thought was possible. To step into a new way of believing. The old way of belief,  old belief systems, need to go. With Saturn we need to regain authority over our lives. Realize the power we have to manifest and create the lives we desire. We need to create new healthy structures and know that all these good things must fit into this physical reality. We need to release giving our power away to authority figures. Adhering to old structures, rules and traditions. With Pluto we need to let the old reality die. Be destroyed completely. We need to rise from the ashes of the past. Transform into a new reality. A new you. With Ceres, we need to nurture and tend to our dreams of this new reality, so that it can become more real and continue to grow. Bring the quality of care and nurturance into this new reality. Let go of a cold world where there was no nurturance. Let go of old things in the past that you don't need to tend to or give your care to anymore. 

So let's talk about it all a bit more individually. Jupiter is exactly conjunct the South Node. We really are growing out of the past. Out of the old reality. It's like shoes that don't fit anymore. We are really being faced with old beliefs in order to let them go. Life is always what you believe it to be. Which is why you need to expand what you believe and be rid of negative beliefs. 

Mercury and the Sun are exactly conjunct during the Eclipse. There may be lots of communication and information coming through at this time. We need to align our minds and thoughts in a better place. Get our heads in the program. It's imperative to release negative thinking and fear based restrictive thinking at this time. There may be some difficulty and tug of war between our minds and feelings however as Mercury aligned with the Sun, means it's also exactly opposing the Moon. Our monkey minds may be in a tug of war with our feelings. You must not let your mind get the better of you and keep following your heart. Our hearts just feel what is right, but with Mercury in Capricorn we could over rationalize, get fearful and try to reason our way out of following our hearts. The heart's path is where true success lies however. 

The biggest news of this whole Eclipse is Saturn and Pluto's conjunction in Capricorn. This is not a transit that has happened since 1518. This is literally life altering on personal and collective levels. The old structures, rules, traditions, reality (Saturn) is dying, is being eradicated, yet transforming into something new (Pluto). Never have we experienced such a huge shift of the old reality literally ending and a new reality coming into being. 

I mean this is intense. The old has absolutely no place in your reality anymore. The past has to go completely. Old lives. Old versions of yourself. Old people that don't belong in your reality anymore. Old jobs. Old homes. Old anything. It has to go. A new beautiful reality is here and you're going to want to step into it. It may not look like anything you've ever seen before. That's a good thing! You don't want anything you've had before. Everything now must align with your heart. Your new reality must be heart based. This is a powerful transit bringing the new into being, but it can be harsh. This could be the biggest purge of the old. Lots could come up. You must release it. It has no place in the new. Anything you're holding onto will be eradicated. 

What's crazy is that the Sun and Mercury will meet up with this conjunction of Saturn and Pluto over the weekend. Some of this crazy, purging, transformative energy will continue throughout the weekend. It will be a intense energy building these 3 days. We will be releasing and stepping into the new this whole time. 

The asteroid Ceres' involvement is very interesting. Ceres rules the principle of nurturance. We are nurturing this new world as it comes into being. Ceres is at 21 degrees Capricorn smack dab between the Sun and Mercury conjunction at 20 degrees and the Saturn and Pluto conjunction at 22 degrees. In this new world we must nurture ourselves. Remember to care for ourselves. We must nurture our minds. Bring them into a softer energy. Ceres is a mother energy and Saturn is the father energy. Its interesting these are together and with Pluto! I'd say for anyone with residual parental issues, it's best to eradicate them our of your system at this time. The old dynamic that has been in grained in you. The patterns that stemmed from them. Let it go. The way you weren't nurtured perhaps as a child, you can release now. You don't have to carry these templates forward. We can majorly release parental issues. We can't carry them forward any longer. I mean, we're really eradicating everything from the past, as much as we can, but so many issues begin with our parents, it's no surprise to see this energy now. Even with the whole Capricorn, Cancer dynamic, mother and father energies are brought up. 

It's also interesting to consider Ceres aligned with Pluto. Mythologically Pluto was god of the underworld and he kidnapped Ceres daughter Persephone and eventually came to a compromise that Persephone would come back to the surface half the year and bring life. It's weird to see these energies meet up because of this myth. They're meeting up, making an agreement. An agreement for a balanced world with both winter and spring. Ceres energy is perhaps showing that yes we've been down in our personal underworld facing our demons, but it's time to let go of the struggle. It's time to come back to the surface. It's time for spring. It's energetically been winter as we've dealt with our shadows, but this energy marks that spring is on the horizon. It's time for new life and growth. 

Another asteroid that is playing a big part in this Eclipse is Juno. Juno is in Libra and is square the Sun and Mercury. Juno in Libra is about perfectly balanced committed relationships. There's a lot about relationships with this energy. The best fair relationships are coming into being. There's a ton of serious commitments within the good relationships aligned with this new reality. If you're in a relationship not working out this time though, oh boy get ready to release it. Even if you're holding on to residual committed relationship hurts especially in your mind with the square to Mercury. Thoughts connected to that must go. Also it could be about other things that you're committed to, but shouldn't, that you should release at this time. Old commitments must go as new ones form. 

This is such an intense time! The biggest week in astrology that I've seen yet. Life is changing! Reality is changing. Embrace the new reality. Release the old. Completely. Abolish it. The energy is pushing so strong in that direction. Let the old die way as you run with an open heart towards the new. It's already here. Just embrace it and let it keep growing. 

Full Moon in Taurus: Confronting Your Inner Truths While Preparing for Intense Change

Tomorrow (November 12th) early in the morning we have a Full Moon in Taurus. There's lots of change in the air, yet we are still in Mercury Retrograde gathering information. 

The New Moon cycle we had was opposing Uranus. Yet Mars was square Saturn and then Mercury Retrograde came shortly after. The cycle was about radical change and transformation, but some restrictions and blocks in the way of moving forward. Not to mention Mercury Retrograde showing up and saying we need more information. Still lots of change in the air. 

This Full Moon shows this as well. The Sun is in Scorpio. It's the season of transformation. It's a Full Moon, it's a culmination point, but also right after a time to release. Especially in Scorpio season. It's autumn, trees are shedding their leaves and you must shed the old. With the Moon in Taurus, release foundations that are old. Stop hanging on to what is stagnant, dead and not working. Or others may be in a different situation needing to let themselves build new foundations. Allow the new changes to come in and take root. It's kind of like our lives are like trees. Some people have an old dead tree on their hands and it's time for it to go. To be chopped down and turned into firewood or something. Other people are tending to a new tree, letting those roots grow deeper and really anchored into the earth beneath it. 

While we are in a time of release, transformation and change, it is still Mercury Retrograde. Change is still happening regardless, but maybe more internally as we prepare for the actual more external change. There's lots to be looked at, processed and let go of within yourself. It can get uncomfortable, but it's necessary. There's also lots of information that can keep coming up as well. More to be discovered. Especially since at the time of the Full Moon Mercury had just previously been aligned with the Sun. A lot more information may be coming to light. Sometimes Mercury can get blocked out by the Sun, so right before the Full Moon we could either be like 'aha' or not quite get where things are going. Regardless afterwards it emerges with new information. 

While not exact the Sun and Moon are moving into an aspect with Pluto at this time. Again confirming change and transformation in the works. Whatever changes are being wrought internally and about to be externally, will be for the best. There's an intensity though with all of this that's for sure. All this Scorpio energy is making us delve deep. Look at our shadows. The past. Confront truths. Even be overwhelmed with our desires. It's forcing transformation, but it isn't easy. It's a time that can bring about some discomfort. There's a bit of a squirming quality as we're faced with the underworld, the hidden shadows, truths and secrets previously kept. It's all for the good though! Positive transformation is here! 

While all that Scorpionic stuff is intense, we do have a super positive aspect going on at the same time as the Full Moon. This aspect is Mars in Libra sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius. There's expansion and growth happening. There's even a sense of luck and positive opportunities. It's funny cause at the New Moon Mars squared Saturn, so while it was a new phase there was a lot of restrictions and blocks. Now Mars is sextile Jupiter. Now we can grow! Now there is opportunity. We can see a glimpse of a bright future. With Mars in Libra this can bode well for one on one relationships and connections in particular. Opportunities to see how to move forward. Optimistic feelings of future opportunities for positive relationship growth. 

Also, Saturn in Capricorn just finished it's final sextile with Neptune. Reality and dreams can work together. If you so decide and put a bit of effort in, your dreams can come true. Amidst the intensity, deep reflection  and change, there's a lot of positivity as well at this time! 

It's been intense lately, that's for sure. With a Full Moon while the Sun is in Scorpio and Mercury Retrograde is in Scorpio it can get emotional and the emotions can run real deep. It's also a little too easy to get too caught up in the dark. Everything is moving towards positive transformation though. I'm telling you, once this Mercury Retrograde is over there will be lots of change unfolding. Right now its happening internally. We are processing and discovering new bits of important information. It's all pushing us towards major change in our lives and there's so much opportunity. We can totally make our dreams reality. Just be willing to transform.To shed your snakeskin. Be brave enough to face your shadows and your truth. It's all good, it's also just intense as fuck. 

Full Moon in Aries: Making Your Way Through the Storms of Change

On Sunday October 13th at 2:07 PM (PST) we will be having a Full Moon in Aries. What an intense Full Moon this will be! 

On September 28th we started a New Moon cycle about finding harmony and balance in our lives. A cycle with a big focus on our relationships with others. That's because the New Moon was in Libra. The opposite of Libra is Aries. Aries is the sign that has to do with the self, independence and individuality. Now that we're in this new phase of relationships we need to check in and make sure that things are truly balanced. That our own selves are balanced with relationships you are part of. To find ultimate harmony. If there's anything holding you back from that it's time to release that. For relationships that are on good footing this shouldn't be too big a deal. This Full Moon though could be a pretty big turning point for those in unbalanced relationships that have gone on for far too long. This could be a make it or break it scenario. 

The New Moon in Libra was about a new balanced, harmonious cycle, but it made a weird awkward quincunx to Uranus. This meant everyone wants balance, harmony and connection, but not any shakeups or radical change getting there. Well if you've been avoiding necessary change it's about to stare you in the face. 

Pluto in Capricorn will be involved in an exact t-square with the Sun and Moon during the Full Moon. Emotions may be at an all time high especially the more fiery or violent ones. Keep that in mind if you are feeling the waves of emotion, so you don't totally lose it. Power struggles are something in particular to watch out for. I hate being dramatic, but this aspect does not look pretty. However, besides the fact it could bring about unpleasant moods or power struggles, this aspect can bring big changes that need to occur. If it's more minor you could work with this energy better and move through the tension and transform some structures in your life. Whatever things that are keeping you from true happiness in your relationships and your relationship to yourself. This can an important turning point. For those in very unbalanced situations or with a lot of stuff buried beneath the surface or those in situations that are simply not working anymore, this could be a major point at which to let go. Some relationships may be vastly different soon or will not make it.  I mean, you can't predict things with astrology,  you can only look at the energy. That's just the type of energy around this Full Moon. Libra energy is about compromising to make things work. Pluto energy shows that sometimes there will be no harmony, so you have to let go for there to eventually be harmony in your own life. Sometimes things just have to drastically change. 

It isn't all intense and serious though, there's a saving grace with Jupiter in Sagittarius forming an exact trine with the Moon and sextile to the Sun. There's growth and expansion available. That's what it's all about! Change and growth are necessary aspects of life. For those that have pretty much been on the right track in life, this will probably be a good thing. Like I said though some may have to undergo bigger change. No matter the changes, Jupiter does provide a silver lining for everyone. A sense of optimism for the future regardless of what happens. And an opportunity of luck and growth through it all. 

On Saturday, Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus. This is yet another indicator that relationships need to change. Unexpected things could happen. Some shocking, some not so big of a deal. It's always different for everyone. Sometimes this just brings electric and exciting energy to relationships! Do things differently this day or just have fun. You never know what will happen when Uranus is involved. Sometimes it's overwhelming and not great for some people and for others it's super exciting. 

Mercury in Scorpio will sextile Saturn in Capricorn on Sunday as well. This is good because regardless of what's going on you can think deeply and practically. You can hold conversations with people that dive deep, but yet with that practical edge that can be so helpful at a time where some could feel emotionally volatile. 

This Full Moon is one that packs a punch that's for sure. It's good though because change is inevitable and we're just being led into a more balanced life. Where we are honoring ourselves and our relationships are happy. We're always making our world better. Sometimes by tweaking it. Sometimes we have to leave a whole world behind and enter a new one. Regardless of where you're at and the level of change you are going through, remember that there is a silver lining and it's all for the best. Basically in everyones life there will probably be one area where you've been trying to find some balance and harmony, one where change really needs to happen and one where you can find luck and growth if you balance out and change the areas that need it. If you would like a personal transit reading to help navigate this energy please feel free to message me! 

Full Moon in Pisces: Time To Surrender

Tomorrow (September 13th 2019 at 9:32 PM PST) we are having a Full Moon in Pisces. This is going to be a big moment of surrender. 

Full Moons are always made up of the Sun and Moon in opposite signs. This time we're dealing with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces. As with all Full Moons, a culmination point has been reached and it's time to release some things. With all the Virgo energy lately it's about reordering your reality, so that it works better for you. Creating new routines. Being healthier in many ways. Having a more organized or healthy life. Healthier relationships. There's just been a reordering going on and it's still going on. Now in order to have that there truly needs to be release. Releasing what no longer serves you and doesn't belong in your reality. With this Pisces energy you also should surrender control a bit. Virgo energy can make us so nit picky sometimes, judgmental or perfectionistic. With this Full Moon it's important to let go of that. Those things aren't going to make your reality any better. That's where the Pisces element of surrender comes into play.

During this Full Moon, Mars in Virgo will be opposing Neptune in Pisces. This really heightens this need to surrender. Mars in Virgo can make us want to perfect everything. To sort everything out. To make a list. With the Neptune energy though things can seem unclear. Our energy can even seem to dissipate. We may want to figure everything out, but we may feel tired. Nothing can seem to make sense. Perfection can't seem to be reached. It could make some feel hopeless and like they want to give up. In a way it's best to give up though at this time. Not in a negative way. Just to surrender trying to figure it out. To just have a little bit of faith and trust. To trust that things are as they should be. To surrender to life, the universe and in a way trust that everything is working out as it should for you. Your biggest job right now is simply to surrender and release things from the past or emotions that aren't serving you anymore and don't belong in your new reality. 

The Full Moon is also positively aspecting Pluto. Again this shows that this is a major opportunity to let old shit go and to transform. Very powerful transformation moment available here. Release those old feelings, old hurts etc. Release old patterns and habits that aren't good. We're creating a new day to day reality for ourselves. Release old things you don't want to feel on a daily basis. How do you want to feel? Release old patterns/ habits that aren't healthy or serving you anymore. Only stick to patterns and habits that bring a sense of wellbeing into your life. It's time to purify your life. Clean it up. Create a new healthier life and lifestyle. 

The last aspect that is exact at the time of the Full Moon is that Mercury and Venus are conjunct. Not only is that significant, but the fact that they are conjunct at 29 degrees of Virgo. Each zodiac sign is made of 29 degrees and 59 minutes (not actual minutes). 29 being the last degree of a sign signifies an important turning point. With Venus involved in this conjunction this Full Moon can also bring turning points in relationships. With the conjunction to Mercury this can come through important realizations and conversations. 

This is a pretty powerful Full Moon. It's a turning point, a time of transformation, a time of release and most of all a time of surrender. What would you like your reality to look like? Allow yourself to release what doesn't belong in it anymore. Allow yourself to change. To flow with the tide of transformation. To stop trying to sort out and perfect too much. Release and then surrender and enjoy the ride. 

Full Moon in Aquarius: Owning Our Own Authenticity and Stepping into Heart Centered Relationships

Thursday, August 15th 2019 (5:29 AM PST). We are having a Full Moon in Aquarius. This is both a major culmination point and time of harvest as well as a time of release. There are so many aspects to talk about that are going on around this Full Moon! 

Any lunar phase isn't about just the Moon, it's about the Moon in relation to the Sun. Therefore to look at the energy of a lunar event, both the energy of the Sun and the Moon are equally important. This Full Moon the Sun is in Leo and the Moon is in Aquarius. 

Let's talk about this Leo energy first. There is so much energy in Leo right now! This is where the emphasis is at. We have the Sun, Venus, Mars and Mercury here. Even the asteroid Juno. At this time it's so important for everyone to be owning or stepping into their authentic selves. It's time to own who you really are and what aligns with you. It's time to shine. To just simply be yourself. With Venus in Leo it's important to love yourself. To acknowledge who you really are and love and accept that. It's also important to make sure you're in authentic relationships. Ones that are genuine that light up your heart. Relationships that honor who you really are. With Mars here it's time to exert your true self. Step into your power. Assert yourself and own who you are even if others don't like it. To pursue what it is you truly want. With Mercury here it's important you speak your truth. Express yourself. Share who you are with others/the world. Mercury also finally moves out of it's shadow period at the Full Moon, marking a time of moving forward, full steam ahead and integrating everything you've learned and realized through July. With asteroid Juno here it's important that you commit to your true self first and foremost. Then, that everything you commit to are things that feel aligned with you and your heart. Basically every seed you planted in the past month or so around living a more authentic life can come to harvest now. Lots of lovely things that are so true to you can really be blossoming. Anything that is not authentic, not aligned with who you are and doesn't make your heart sing needs to go now though. These are things that need to be released. 

With the Moon in Aquarius, if you've been trying to fit in or please anyone in any way now is the time to let go of that. There's no room for fitting in with the energy that's going on. There's no room for people pleasing or giving up yourself and what really aligns with you and your heart. We dealt with major eclipses in Leo and Aquarius last summer, even had one in January. What did you learn about yourself and your life then? Some of these issues may come up for some people. Remember what you've learned. Don't go backwards. Aquarius is very mental and can be very detached as well. We kinda want to release detachment. Leo energy is about showing up fully. Being present. Being in the heart. Being love. It doesn't run away. Own the stage so to speak. Don't run away. Own who you are. What you do. What you want. What you feel. What and who you love. Detachment won't help anyone in the current energy. 

Relationships are a big part of this energy for many people. Venus is conjunct the Sun during the Full Moon. Juno the asteroid of commitment and committed relationships is conjunct Mars. A lot of positive, authentic, heart centered relationships may be coming together for a lot of people. This can be super beautiful. On the flip side, if you are not in a good relationship, your heart isn't in it and it's not authentic and real, it's time to let go. If you've given yourself up for someone, that's not gonna fly. If you're in something that feels 'detached' or your heart's not in it, forget it. Detachment in relationships won't go over well in general. Leo energy is about showing up, being in the heart, not running away. Also, with Juno here it's more a time of positive commitment rather than being detached or non committal. Overall it looks like good things can be coming together for many people. It can be so beautiful because it's so great for being who you are as an individual, but it's also so great for relationships. What a perfect balance. So much love available for yourself and others. 

I don't always mention asteroids, but the big asteroids are rather involved in this Full Moon. I've already talked about Juno, but Pallas Athene and Vesta are rather involved as well. Pallas Athene is roughly sextile all the Leo energy and trine the Moon and exactly sextile Juno. Pallas Athene is about wisdom. It's time to tap into our inner wisdom as well to make choices moving forwards. What do we know is right for us and is the right choice? Especially when committing to something or someone tap into that inner wisdom. Pallas Athene is in Libra. There's so much wisdom there about compromise, fairness and harmonious relationships. We can really tap into this wisdom to create very balanced situations and relationships in our lives. Vesta has to do with the 'inner flame' the divine spark within that we don't really share with anyone. It is ours alone. Vesta is square the Full Moon and Venus. This could mean one of two things. It's important that we don't dampen our inner flame or spark for others. Vesta is also associated with vestal virgins and virginity however, so also perhaps it's about sharing our inner flame. Not becoming an island unto yourself. There's a big balance this Full Moon between the self and relationships. Both are so important at this time. 

Pluto is sneakily influencing the energy of the Full Moon as it was in a quincunx or an  inconjunct with the Sun and Venus the day before. This is the energy that shows there may be things lingering underneath the surface that need to be released for us to move forward in our lives both personally and in love. Is it emotions from the past? Outdated structures of some kind? Pluto rules the underworld and before you can fully step into the sunlight of Leo perhaps there's some stuff in the shadows that needs to be acknowledged and released. It can seem uncomfortable and incompatible with the current energy to do so. That's what  inconjuncts are. It's an aspect between planets in completely incompatible signs. It doesn't even hold the tension of a square or an opposition. It's just uncomfortable. As everyone is getting into the spotlight, owning their authentic selves and getting into the energy of love, they don't want to go down into the depths, face the shadows and release some outdated past shit. It still must be done though. It will be helpful to face and release these things. We have to accept the deepest darkness in order for us to step into the light. Issues around power and control could be lurking down there. Things that need to 'die' or finally be put to rest. Things that need to transform. Desires. Sexual desires or issues. Time to face, release or integrate it all. 

Mercury is also about to trine Chiron at the time of the Full Moon. This is great for healing wounds around self-expression. Ability to express who we really are and our identities better. Very healing self aspect. Very healing aspect around sharing and communicating our truth. 

Last aspect I want to talk about is that Neptune is now trine the North Node again as well. Neptune is in Pisces and the North Node is in Cancer. In the midst of all this energy never underestimate the power of following you emotions, intuition and going with the flow. When you're tuned into the flow of life and exactly what you want and feel, you will be much more likely to end up in a good space in your life. I wouldn't recommend forcing anything right now or going against what you feel. 

What an intense Full Moon this is! So powerful though! So powerful for everyone's lives and who they are as an individual. Also, so powerful for relationships. Such beautiful, yet complex energy. There's a lot going on! Remember to own who you are, what you love and who you love. Embrace it all. The time is now to step into all of this fully. 

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn: Facing Your Own Emotional Underworld

On Tuesday we are having our second Eclipse of the season with a Full Moon partial Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn. We've been planting seeds for some major new beginnings since the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on the 2nd and we're a week into a three week Mercury Retrograde of reflection. Now it's time for some major release. 

For this Eclipse we will have the Sun in Cancer near the North Node and the Moon in Capricorn near the South Node. The Nodes are basically the true Eclipse points and how close the Sun and Moon hit these points determine the totality of an Eclipse. 

With the Sun near the North Node where the Solar Eclipse took place, we are moving towards Cancer energy. Moving towards getting more in touch with our feelings and emotions, discovering true emotional security within ourselves, nurturing ourselves, stepping into compassion and more mothering feminine energy. We're still doing that and this will majorly continue for the next six months. 

Venus in Cancer is also near the North Node during this Eclipse. Relationships that are aligned with our hearts and feelings are now very important as well. Relationships are moving in the right direction. The day after the Eclipse Venus will exactly conjunct the North Node, which is so powerful for moving forwards in the right way with relationships. Not just relationships. This can be moving in the right direction where you are more open to love of all kinds and loving yourself deeper first and foremost. Also, projects close to your heart could positively come together and start moving forward. Things are just aligning in the right way when you follow your feelings at this time. 

Mercury Retrograde is hanging out near all this energy as well. It'll still be in Leo at the time of the Eclipse. If you reflect and remember the time or times you regained your authenticity and continue on with that this will also help you move forward in the right way. Remember to speak your truth and to keep sharing who you really are with others. 

With the Moon near the South Node there are lots of feelings to be released at this time as we move into the new. As we follow our hearts more, old buried feelings may come up that need to be released. When you open up more to your emotions it's not like you just get to feel the good feelings. The difficult ones will inevitably surface too. It's important to let go of whatever is down there for any suppressed feelings could be what's blocking you from your heart's desires. 

Saturn is near the North Node during this Eclipse. We need to release outdated structures, ways of being, rigid attitudes, restrictions and on a greater scale some patriarchal attitudes. It's time to remove blocks and to break out of the box. 

Saturn will be exactly opposing Venus though at the time of the Eclipse. What blocks, restrictions and past commitments are preventing you from having what you want? Especially in regards to relationships. The good news is that the day after, Venus conjuncts the North Node, so things are moving in the right direction. There are just things to release, restrictions to deal with and maybe some reality checks as well. Perhaps there are some real/physical world responsibilities that you have to balance with pursuing relationships and projects that are close to your heart. It's all about releasing blocks that are in your way and maintaining good balance in your life. 

Last, but not least the Moon will be conjunct Pluto during the Eclipse. In degrees Pluto will be between the Moon and South Node during the Eclipse. This means Pluto is a key to moving on from the past. Pluto rules death. (Don't freak out about literal death, I don't go there with astrology) The death of the old. The death of outdated structures, rules and ways of being. Ultimately Pluto rules radical transformation. Put old feelings and situations that aren't serving you to rest at this time. Pluto also has to do with the underworld. Think about it as going down to your own underworld and facing everything that lurks there and cleaning it out. It's time to do that. You won't know what needs to be gotten rid of if you don't look at it. 

It's been a powerful month and it's certainly not over yet. We are moving into completely new waters, which is amazing. At this time though we must release a lot in order to do so. The Solar Eclipse was the total Eclipse this month. The Lunar Eclipse will only be partial. This means it's much more about the new at this time. We are human though and this means that inevitably birth and death are part of life. You can't have one without the other. Cheers to releasing the shit from the past and moving into emotionally fulfilling new beginnings. 

Full Moon in Sagittarius: Moving Towards a Brighter Future From a More Vulnerable and Raw Place

The energy has been intense this week and now we're just about at the Full Moon, which will be taking place in Sagittarius tomorrow June 17th 2019 in the wee small hours in the morning (1:30 am pst) What seeds did you plant in your life around June 3rd? This Full Moon can be a culmination point and time of harvest for some of those things. It's much more than that though, it's a time of major release as it's the last Full Moon before Eclipse season. Yet, a lot of the energy we've had lately is already bringing up themes of the Eclipses. 

A Full Moon happens when the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the earth. The Moon and Sun are therefore in opposing zodiac signs. This Full Moon we are dealing with the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Gemini. This axis has a lot to do with our minds, beliefs and communication/expression. Lately a lot of different emotions, emotional issues, desires and restrictions have been coming up in the astrology. With this Full Moon we need to take a look at certain beliefs and thought patterns that aren't serving us as well so that we can release them. 

With the Sun in Gemini during the Full Moon it is important to see what the ruler of Gemini, which is Mercury, is up to. Mercury is in Cancer at the moment and has been a big player lately. It's latest aspect it's about to make at the time of the Full Moon is a conjunction to Mars in Cancer. There's still a tremendous amount of emotions around during the Full Moon. So many layers of feelings, desires and now even thoughts and beliefs we've had are bubbling up to the surface to be acknowledged, released, felt and expressed. It's a powerful time, but it can be overwhelming There's so many blocks to be lifted, so much to be cleared. Perhaps so much to say. There may be a lot to be communicated and expressed. With Mercury and Mars in Cancer it could come off as quite emotional or even snappy at this time. Feelings and desires want to be expressed. Decisions could even need to be made. The road to expression could really be opening up. Things could be confusing though, which leads me to my next point. 

While emotions are coming up, people are having revelations about themselves, desires are making themselves known and people are expressing more, there still may be things that aren't clear. This is because the Jupiter and Neptune square is continuing and Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, which is the sign the Moon is in. So much may be making itself known to you and you may be cracking open, but perhaps it's not best to assume you know the truths of situations. Although, it is important to seek the truth at this time and use discernment.

Sagittarius is also a sign that's about the future and Jupiter it's ruling planet is about expansion. You could see this time of release as a doorway opening you up to your future and towards new horizons. As you become more in touch with your feelings, express yourself and release the old you are cracking yourself open. There's an ability to burst through and open up towards life in a new way, towards new experiences and a bright future. There can be an optimistic quality to this energy. Yet, getting to that place, looking at the rest of this energy, isn't easy. You have to be willing to deal with a lot of layers and feelings if you want to burst forth into that bright future. 

This time it's not enough to just be bright and cheerful and to start going on your merry way with a bounce in your step. The bright future exists if you're not afraid to deal with things in your soul that may be uncomfortable first. Otherwise it will not be fulfilling. Peel back these layers. Allow the release. Look at your darkness. Let yourself be vulnerable. Let yourself be raw and then you will be ready for that bright future. You may not be walking towards it with a bounce in your step and a happy tune on your lips. You may be walking towards it with trepidation and a bit of fear as you feel how vulnerable you truly are. The point is that you show up and keep going. Keep your face to the sun anyways. It's time for the new. It's time to feel. To release. To be open. To show up vulnerable. Set aside the armor. Are you ready for the challenge? 

Full Moon in Scorpio : Cultivating Our New Foundations and Releasing the Old

On Saturday May 18th 2019 (at 2:11 PM PST) we will have a Full Moon in Scorpio. We are out of the last two Moon cycles which dealt heavily with relationships and heralded many turning points. Now with what we've learned from those phases it's time for some major release. Since the New Moon in Taurus you may have been planting new seeds and watching them grow, but with the beginning of certain things we must shed some old things. 

This Full Moon is taking place on the Scorpio/Taurus axis. Taurus is about building new foundations and is a stable, yet fertile sign. Scorpio is about transformation and ending the old. Pluto is the planet that rules Scorpio and it's been a big player in the astrology lately. We've really been confronting things coming up from the depths of our own being and really being shown what needs to end, be transformed or released. Now is the time! 

Mercury is traveling close to the Sun during the Full Moon. I feel like it's bringing us information and insight we need during this time of culmination and release. Since it's traveling near the Sun in Taurus I feel like we may be getting insight around the new things we've been creating. Seeing in a practical way how to keep growing seeds we've planted. 

Venus and Uranus will basically be conjunct in Taurus around the Full Moon as well. Change is definitely in the air. There could be an element of the unexpected. Particularly around relationships. There's been tremendous changes and shifts around relationships and this time is no different. Whatever happens could be unexpected, but provide necessary shakeups. 

Neptune in Pisces is trine the North Node in Cancer during the Full Moon. This means we need to trust the universe, the flow and most of all our feelings. Our feelings and emotions need to be our guides for what to release and what to fertilize. This can be a very emotional time. Not just with this watery aspect, but because a Full Moon in Scorpio in general can be a time of a lot of emotional release. Purging feelings from the depths. Also, Mars just moved into the water sign of Cancer. We may be very emotionally driven at this time. The feelings are running high. 

~This may be feeling like an intense time! It's bringing lots of great opportunities for transformation and change however. Life is about cycles. There are times to cultivate the new and then times to release that which isn't serving. You could think of our lives as gardens, which we are in the midst of planting and tending to. While we tend our gardens there are inevitably weeds we must pull. That basically describes the current energy we are going through~ 

Full Moon in Libra: Reaching a Turning Point in Relationships and Our Individual Journeys

The time has come and we are wrapping up a cycle that started on March 20th with a Full Moon in Libra, with yet another Full Moon in Libra tomorrow! ( April 19th 2019 4:12 AM PST). It's not often we have two Full Moons in the same sign and it means we are continuing to deal with the same energy. The first Libra Full Moon took place at 0 degrees, which was significant. It marked a time of release and yet new beginnings. Maybe even the beginning of the end you could say. This Full Moon we're having now is happening at 29 degrees (that's the highest in degrees a zodiac sign goes) which is quite an important degree and marks a big turning point. This is the final turning point for anything that needs releasing. Things are about to change and we are turning a corner. 

Full Moons happen astrologically when the Sun and Moon are in opposing signs. The Full Moon is always made up of both these energies. With this Full Moon (and the last one we had) we are dealing with Libra and Aries energy. This means there's been lots of relationship turning points both romantic and otherwise (could be anything; friends, colleagues, bosses, clients, family you name it!) Relationships have been front and center in many people's lives. With the Aries energy though there's also a big focus on ourselves, our individuality and our egos. It's a back and forth energy seeing how our individual selves relate to others. Do you give too much to others? Do you give up yourself for others? Are you hesitant to give of yourself because of past experiences? This energy has also been bringing relationships to a close and also may have been bringing about some new ones. There's lots of shifting and changing when it comes to our own selves and our relationships to others! Whatever you have been going through, we have now reached a major turning point and it's important to let go of what doesn't serve you and bravely step into this new territory. 

It's interesting to take note of some aspects we have had recently and are going to have to understand what's playing out around this Full Moon. 

Last week we had the Sun square Saturn, the South Node and Pluto in Capricorn. This had to do with coming up against restrictions and realities in our lives, so that we could face them and deal with them. It brought up the fact that some situations need to end, that some outdated structures aren't serving us anymore. That old things that brought us a sense of security probably need to be let go of. 

The Sun during the Full Moon is moving towards a conjunction with Uranus that will be exact this weekend. Get ready for the unexpected! It's time to break free. To shake things up. That Capricorn energy we had come up against had shown us how we were restricted, but this Uranus energy shows us how we can be free. That it's time for change and for the new. We can't hold on to sub par situations for security reasons. Life awaits us! Time to break out of the shackles and see what wonderful things life has to offer us. 

Venus, the ruling planet of Libra will be reaching the end degrees of Pisces at the Full Moon. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, so I do really feel like this shows that there is definitely an ending of a relationship cycle being reached for some people. 

When we had the first Libra Full Moon on March 20th Mercury was still retrograde in Pisces. Things started to shift, but there wasn't so much clarity. Mercury finally moved into Aries just a couple days ago and now we also finally have more clarity at this time! Better ability to make decisions, see the facts and communicate better. 

Mercury is also just about conjunct Chiron at the time of the Full Moon too, so we may need to heal some identity wounds. Perhaps around being able to express ourselves in particular. 

What an intense past month this has been in regards to relationships and our own individuality and identity! We have now reached a big turning point. If faced with decisions make ones that you know are for your highest good. Release that which doesn't serve you. It's time to change and begin a new chapter of relating. 

Full Moon in Libra on the Spring Equinox

Spring is finally here and with it a Full Moon in Libra tonight. There is already a shift in energy with the end of winter and beginning of spring. The Sun always moves into Aries on the spring equinox bringing the astrological new year. There are new beginnings in the air and the Full Moon brings a culmination point now as well. 

Full Moon's are a time of harvest, completion and then letting go. We are shedding the old as we move into spring. This Full Moon is happening at zero degrees however. We've had quite a series of Full Moon's at zero degrees. Every time we shed the old, there is a new beginning being birthed at the same time lately. 

This Full Moon is happening in Libra. It's really interesting because next month we are actually going to have another Full Moon in Libra as well. This is a rarity. This means that relationships are going to be really highlighted during this time. 

Full Moons are made up of both the energy of the Sun and the Moon. The Sun will be in Aries and the Moon in Libra, so we are dealing with the Aries-Libra axis. This axis is all about the self (Aries) vs relationships with others (Libra). This is a time to make sure your need for relationships is in balance with your need for independence. Anything upsetting this balance needs to be let go of. It's a time to bring more balance and harmony to your life. If you've been so independent that you aren't making room for relationships then this will be brought into question. If you've been sacrificing yourself for someone else then this will be brought into question. This is all about having healthy relationships in your life where there is compromise and you don't have to sacrifice your identity or sense of individuality. 

Chiron in Aries will be conjunct the Sun during this Full Moon helping us heal our sense of independence and identity within relationships. Releasing and healing times when this was sacrificed in the past. It's important to have a strong sense of self in healthy relationships. To never have to give up your identity or your own needs. This healing element can be so powerful for healing our egos and sense of individuality. 

At the time of the Full Moon Venus in Aquarius will be making two big exact aspects. On on hand Venus will be sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius. This is an aspect that can help us grow and expand in the realm of relationships. It can be a bit lucky. It can help us gain a new perspective on our beliefs about relationships and help us get out of our boxes or comfort zones. 

The other aspect Venus is making is a square to Mars. This is interesting because Venus rules Libra and Mars rules Aries. The planetary rulers of the Full Moon are square each other! This can bring some tension around relationships. Although this tension does have potential to be somewhat exciting  if it brings about healthy sexual tension. Venus is the feminine energy and Mars the masculine. The feminine and masculine energies within ourselves could be at odds. If one is out of balance it's a good time to recognize it and bring it back into a state of equilibrium. Are you too in your yang energy 'doing'  too much or pushing forward too much? Or are you too passive in a yin state? It can be different for everyone, but I know in today's world it's more likely that you're out of touch with feminine/yin energy. If so when you bring these back into balance it can bring harmony to your relationships as well.

It's a big day full of lots of shifts. Lots of things are ending, beginning and being brought back into balance. Don't forget it's still Mercury Retrograde, so all may not be clear yet and there's still a need to go with the flow. 

Full Moon in Virgo

Another Moon cycle has come and gone! Tomorrow (February 19th 2019 at 7:53 am PST) we will have the Full Moon in Virgo. Like all Full Moons this is a culmination point and a time to release. This is yet another Full Moon though happening at zero degrees, marking a point of beginnings as well. 

This theme of endings and beginnings has been an ongoing one. There are things we need to release in order to step into new things. The time for the new is now, yet it's also the time to release the old. Step by step the old gets released and before you know it you'll be in totally new energy and won't know how you got there! 

Chiron just entered zero degrees of Aries the day before as well. I feel like Chiron at zero degrees ties up well with the Full Moon in Virgo because Chiron's energy goes with Virgo well. Some say they think Chiron should/could be named the ruler of Virgo. We ended a cycle of wound healing. Perhaps there's a feeling of final release of many old wounds this Full Moon. Especially around spiritual crises, feelings of victimization and most of all the feeling that we have a void within. We really need to realize at this Full Moon that we are whole and complete beings and fully release a cycle of feeling like there's a void and fully releasing all void fillers. This will help us step into the new. Now we have a new healing cycle with Chiron in Aries, we need to feel like we are complete, so that we can move on. Chiron in Aries will be about stepping into our true identity more fully and healing identity issues, which is the next healing phase. 

These Chiron themes just tie in so well with the Virgo-Pisces energy we need to release. With Virgo, we need to release perfection issues at this time. Low self-esteem issues may come up for release. A great quote that this energy brings to mind from Fernando Pessoa is "Perfection is inhuman, because humanity is imperfect." Whatever you perceive as a flaw isn't that at all. This is a time of self-acceptance and of realizing with the Pisces Sun (which creates half of the Full Moon energy) that in spiritual truth you are perfect and you are whole and complete. New beginnings will stem from this peace, self-acceptance and release of self-criticism and desire to be perfect (which is impossible). 

With the Pisces-Virgo energy, the balance of matter and spirit comes into play as well. Have you been getting so caught up in the physical world that you've lost touch with your spirit and feelings? Then it's time to remember that dimension of life. Take some quiet time to connect if you can. Meditate. Journal. Let yourself cry if you need to. Get out in nature to connect (which would be perfect Pisces-Virgo balance anyways!) On the flip side, how is your physical life? Do you need to focus on the health of your body? Do you have healthy routines? Are you organized in your day to day life and your work life? Your physical life needs just as much attention right now. It's a good time to release unhealthy physical habits and to make sure you are taking care of your physical body and life. 

An aspect that the Moon will be making during the Full Moon is a trine to Mars in Taurus. There's definitely movement forward at this time and a sense of action, but it's pretty slow moving. Know that things are moving, be willing to move forward and then be patient and grounded throughout the journey. 

During the Full Moon, Mercury in Pisces will be forming a sextile to Saturn in Capricorn. This forms the perfect balance once again of grounded, earthy practicality and the ability to tap into our intuition and feelings. To maintain perfect balance right now we really must stay grounded, yet spiritually connected. To take care of our physical life concerns with practicality, yet stay in touch with our intuition and follow our hearts and allow ourselves to feel our feelings. 

✨These are powerful times we are living in!So much is shifting and changing. Even if you can't see it too clearly yet. Be open to the new and be willing to release the old. Maintain balance because balance is key right now.✨

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Leo: Close One Door Behind You and Open Another

Tomorrow (January 20th 2019) we are having a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Leo! This will be the grand finale of the Eclipse season we've had in January. Get ready to close a chapter in your life and begin a new one. 

To understand this Eclipse it's important to be aware of the energy leading up to it. First we had a Solar Eclipse two weeks ago bringing up the Cancer and Capricorn energy. Dealing with issues of security both physical and emotional. There's been a big focus lately though on Capricorn and physical security. Needing to figure out our foundations so that we are secure. Letting go of things we thought were making us secure, but aren't good for us. Learning to become strong and secure within ourselves. Then the Sun was conjunct Pluto in Capricorn last Thursday, which brought intensity and transformation of structures in our lives. Then yesterday we had a bunch of aspects that still affect this Eclipse. Uranus squaring the Sun for one. This could have brought and still may bring unexpected change. If you're someone who was keeping yourself in shackles there could have been shakeups to free you. There's change, there's shakeups, there's a sense of being freed from our pasts. The Sun was sextile Chiron at the same time helping us or least urging us to heal that feeling of 'the void within'. Really anything that hasn't been serving us that we were dependent on in a way or clung to for security, the universe is strongly pushing us to let go of. Then last but not least, Mercury was conjunct Pluto. Bringing intense conversations or transformative ones. Mercury will be just about conjunct the South Node during the Eclipse, so it's playing a big part. Conversations with others could really help you get some things out you need to release or help give you more insight. There could be powerful and transformative connections. Even compulsive or intense energy perhaps for some. Also, some people may have intense conversations that lead to endings. 

Now let's talk about the actual Eclipse. It's a Lunar Eclipse, which means it's happening at the time of the Full Moon. This means it's a major culmination point and a major time of release. Anything old that's not serving you, it's time to shut that door behind you. The Eclipses always happen astrologically when the Sun and Moon are conjunct the Nodes. Usually that means the Sun and Moon are in the same signs as the Nodes, but not this time. The North Node is in Cancer and the South Node is in Capricorn, yet the Moon is in Leo and the Sun in Aquarius. Lots of different energies! The Sun and Moon are at 0 degrees of Aquarius and Leo respectively, which is powerful as well. This may be a time of release, but boy oh boy with the 0 degrees it's a time for new beginnings as well. It's the end and the beginning! 

The Cancer and Capricorn energy that the Nodes are in represents current energy that we are quite focused on and need to figure out. It's largely about security. This month it's really been about the Capricorn physical and material security. We need to have a strong grounded sense of security in our physical lives. The Cancer energy has to do with emotional security. Also, the ability to tap into compassion and nurturing energy. Tapping more into our feelings. We will be continuing to deal with these themes and they are very important right now. 

The catch is that with the Sun in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo we are revisiting the energy of when the Nodes were in Leo and Aquarius, which culminated this past summer. If you've been reading my posts for awhile, you'll know there was a time when I talked about authenticity all the time. That's because with the North Node in Leo the universe really wanted us to learn the lesson of authenticity. Right now is a moment to really check in and see how we're doing with that. The final moment to release anything holding us back from living a totally authentic life. 

Basically with this Eclipse with the Moon in Leo at 0 degrees conjunct the North Node in Cancer, this huge new chapter we are beginning involves a completely authentic life. Embracing the truth of your being and your inner light. Following your heart and your emotions. No longer should you do things to fit in, please others or hold on to anything for a sense of safety and security. No more holding on to things because some sense of practicality or our minds tell us we should. It's all about the feelings, the heart and the inner truth now. This is so powerful and liberating. Some may be so excited for this new chapter while others may find what they have to let go of a bit daunting. With the Sun in Aquarius though, it's also about what's for the greater good of everyone. You being unhappy and suppressing your truth will never be that. It really is a beautiful time though, once you've released what you're holding on to, for sharing with others from a place of authentic truth, of accepting and listening to your feelings, and building a stable base and sense of true security within yourself. 

I should mention a couple more aspects before wrapping up that are happening at the time of the Eclipse. First of all Mars will be square Saturn. This can show some frustration for those having trouble letting go.  Mars in Aries wants to move forwards and have new things, but Saturn reminds us of reality and is a sobering influence. Perhaps that reality check is that you can't hang on to old things and expect to have a new beginning.  Perhaps you feel a bit restricted because of some material life/physical life issues and you can't move as fast. Regardless of your situation, if you're willing to move forward you will. You might just not be able to move at lightening speed. 

The second aspect I want to mention is that Venus in Sagittarius will be square Neptune in Pisces. Perhaps some of the frustration lies in a bit of fogginess. Venus in Sagittarius is ready to explore and is looking towards the future, but then Neptune comes in and distorts everything. So perhaps just know that things are moving forward. You don't need to be frustrated about it. Regardless of moments of confusion or restrictions, this is a huge turning point. 

✨What an ultra powerful period of time we're in! Shut the door of the past firmly behind you and step through the doorway of a new phase of life. This Eclipse is such an important turning point. ✨
