New Moon in Gemini: Gathering New Information

Tomorrow morning we are having a New Moon in Gemini! There is so much energy in Gemini currently that this will just be adding to. Let's dive into what it all means. 

With a New Moon in Gemini we are getting a refresh. A fresh start when it comes to gathering information and communication. This energy is so important because the North Node is in Gemini. In fact, this could have been an Eclipse if the New Moon was further along in degrees. For now, we're just building up to that though. Eclipses will be coming soon! Still though, with the South Node in Sagittarius, we have to move away from assuming we know the truth and meaning of it all. Move away from self-righteousness. With the North Node in Gemini, we need to move towards sharing with others to see their points of view and gather up different information, ideas, concepts etc. This New Moon is really an entrance into that energy. It's time to start from a clean slate. Ditch the idea that you know it all. Approach life with a child's mind. See what there is to find. 

The New Moon is trine Saturn in Aquarius, which is helpful. We can be practical about the place we're in. Some grounding. Saturn in Aquarius is about building new structures. A way we've never seen before. Gathering this new information will help us build these new structures. The structures are not like what we've seen before, so our old truths won't apply either. We're building the new. 

There is an element of confusion however. Venus Retrograde in Gemini is conjunct Mercury in Gemini and they're both square Neptune in Pisces. Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and it's in a confused position. Even more reason why we need to explore info. It seems like nothing's clear. There might be a foggy feeling. With Neptune it's important to tap into your intuition and go with the flow. The info may be more intuitive rather than logical perhaps. 

With Venus Retrograde, we've been trying to gather info and figure things out around love, money and creative projects in order to make decisions when it's over (end of June). With this New Moon though, things may feel particularly foggy around these areas. This new info we're gathering here may be more intuition based again. There's a need to go with the flow and not force things to happen. This is new territory. So approach it as such. Take in the info you get, but don't be frustrated if things look cloudy. Trust your gut. Flow with it all. 

The energy has shifted so much honestly. We're no longer in that period of massive shifts of the structures of our lives. Now a lot has changed and we're left trying to mentally process it now. Ditch thinking you know the truth. Explore anew. Gain fresh new perspectives. 

New Moon in Taurus: On the Precipice of Change

Tomorrow night we are having a New Moon in Taurus. Taurus is an earth sign, so how appropriate that it's Earth Day as well! 

We have been through so much lately, life has been weird and the astrology harsh. This New Moon offers an energy of reset. A fresh energy for the month ahead. It's time to find new stability with where you're at. To build new foundations. To plant new seeds. It's time to have a fresh start where you enjoy life and feel good about yourself. Taurus is about sensuality; the senses. Taking things a bit slowly in a way and enjoying them. It's about value and self-worth. So for this re-fresh besides finding new stability and building new foundations, find new ways to feel good. Decide to start a new cycle of greater self-worth. It could be a new cycle where your values are different and new. 

This New Moon is caught between two major aspects. The first is that it's moving away from a square with Saturn in Aquarius that the Sun had formed exact a couple days prior and moving towards a conjunction with Uranus the Sun will make in a few days. We're moving away from restriction and into change. The sense of restriction could still feel present. Reality and structures are different with Saturn in Aquarius. You may have recently felt quite constrained by them. Yet, you must find new stability, foundations, self-worth and just a sense of feeling good within these circumstances because things are about to change! Perhaps quite unexpectedly with the conjunction to Uranus approaching. Things could feel restricted or stagnant, but they most definitely are not and the winds of change shall be blowing through. 

New Moon in Aries: Time for a Refresh

In the wee small hours this morning we have a New Moon in Aries! Despite the strange times there is a refresh energy in the universe. This is the New Moon that coincides with the beginning of spring. This is fertile energy to utilize despite the circumstances. 

Aries is the sign that is about new beginnings and initiation. Use this time to initiate something new. Think of it all as a fresh clean slate. Aries has a lot to do with the 'self' as well. Independence. Identity. Now that everyone has more time to themselves they can explore their identity. 

This New Moon will be conjunct Chiron and in close conjunction with Black Moon Lilith as well. Chiron and Black Moon Lilith have really been bringing up wounds, shadows and fears for awhile now on both a personal and collective level. This New Moon can help us heal. Shine light on these wounds and shadows. Fears. Perhaps showing us the bogeyman isn't what we think it is. Bringing light to the darkness. This is a time of healing and transmutation. 

The New Moon is square the Nodes too. We are at a crossroads. A point of tension. The old way, the new way, what will we choose? Will we choose the old structures, the old ways of doing things? Choosing security over feeling? Or will we choose to follow our hearts this time around? Then the wounds and fears have us torn and undecided. This New Moon is here to transmute these wounds and fears. To let us start fresh and choose a better way. Things are falling apart. It's best to let the old ways go. Forge a new path. A path based on following your heart completely. Perhaps even on a collective level this is what we're doing. 

There's also a semi-sextile aspect from the New Moon to Uranus in Taurus. Uranus keeps showing up strong a lot lately! We're getting a little reminder that it's time to do things differently. Don't look to old solutions, look to the new! Shakeups are necessary now. Uranus rules chaos. Chaos is necessary though sometimes. To cause complete disorder, so that there can be new order able to come together. So tap into zany, chaotic Uranus. Don't get sucked into crazy energy, embrace the different, the new. Allow the earthquake to shake it all up. 

~This is a crazy time we're living in, but it's time for the new. Allow the cosmic reshuffling to occur. Choose the new path. Happy New Moon everyone ~

New Moon in Pisces During a Mercury Retrograde in Pisces

We're a week into a 3 week Mercury Retrograde in Pisces and lo and behold we have a New Moon in Pisces today! A fresh start in the midst of reflecting. 

Pisces is a sign that is all about going with the flow. About tuning into your spirit, all that is, the universe and your intuition. It's about fantasy, ideals and imagination. It's about the infinite and infinite possibility. It's definitely a time to dream of what you would like in your life. Don't limit yourself. The possibilities are endless. Yet, it's a time where you should't try to control too much. See where life takes you. See how it unfolds. With the retrograde your mind may seem out to lunch, and while you may have to work extra hard to maintain your daily responsibilities, the intuitive flow state you find yourself in, the emotional connection to everything and the sense of tripping out, could be really interesting. What you need could be found within those spaces. There is already a sense of 'newness' within the retrograde. Although still there may be important things to think about. Take a look at territory you're revisiting. What important insights and discussions come up. Usually Mercury Retrograde happens when a big important decision needs to get made or a big life change is about to happen. Of course it can bring with it the annoyance of technology or appliances going on the fritz. Take your time doing things as it's easy to overlook things. Also, people from the past could come up. A lot of the time this doesn't mean anything, so just be discerning. 

Mars in Capricorn is exactly sextile the New Moon, which is really nice because it brings some grounding energy to the rest of it. There's a lot of spacey, dreamy, in another dimension sort of energy, but yet there's quite an emphasis on Capricorn, giving us an anchor. Grounding down our dreams in reality. Mars in Capricorn in general reminds us that just because it's a retrograde we can't stop making our way up the mountain so to speak. Keep moving towards your goals as you discover what the retrograde has to show you. Mars in sextile to the New Moon just emphasizes this. There's a lot of energy. There's propulsion forward. It's a balance between flow and not just sitting still. With this energy, don't decide to just sleep your life away for three weeks, keep going! Make shit happen, just in an in tune, non forceful manner. 

The day before the New Moon, the Sun was trine Uranus in Taurus, which still impacts the New Moon. There's lots of change and stimulation about. The unexpected. You certainly can't stay stuck in a rut. Mars was making this aspect earlier this week as well, so there's lots of this energy about. Elements of surprise, the unexpected. Changes. Urges to keep changing. An exciting, stimulating quality. It's a retrograde, but the energy certainly isn't dull.

Then the Sun a couple days after the New Moon will move into a trine with the North Node in Cancer. This energy impacts the New Moon too. We're moving into big destiny points. We're being nudged in the right direction. All of that being water energy, we're being nudged in a direction that we keep being nudged in, that of following our hearts and emotions. Let them be your guide. Like I said the mental energy is out to lunch at the moment, which is probably good because so often that energy doesn't help us out. So tap into those darn feelings! Open up your heart. Heart expansion, heart opening and heart awakening have been the biggest themes since the North Node entered Cancer. This is another big moment along that path. 

Last aspect I want to talk about today is not one to the New Moon itself, but happening at the same time. That is, Venus in Aries square Jupiter in Capricorn. There can be some growing pains with relationships or even projects or money maybe. They are the most beneficial and lucky planets though, so this isn't too tense of an aspect. Venus in Aries wants new beginnings in relationships. It wants to begin new projects. Jupiter in Capricorn is about growth, but not in a crazy, fast impulsive way. It's more slow and methodical. Perhaps it's about realizing that things can move forward and things can grow, but be smart in the process. The worst thing that people usually do with Venus square Jupiter is over indulge or overspend, so just be careful of that. 

It's an interesting time because there's actually a lot of new energy and new things pushing forward, just during a retrograde where we are also forced to reflect on some things as well. We're moving forward now and preparing to move forward more in the near future. It's a time to move forward, but in a go with the flow type state though too. 

New Moon in Aquarius: It's the Future, That's Why it's Unfamiliar!

We have been through quite the intense Eclipse season, but now we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel as new things come into being with this New Moon in Aquarius tomorrow (January 24th 2020). 

During Eclipse season we majorly let go of an old reality as Saturn and Pluto were conjunct at the time of the Lunar Eclipse. Although, with the Solar Eclipse we also entered a new reality. It was an intense time. Now we are past that. Hopefully you feel like you have majorly transformed and released a lot because now we are stepping more into this new reality. Aquarius is futuristic. It's about moving forwards in this future that doesn't look like anything we've seen before. Saturn finally moved a degree ahead of Pluto. It was behind it for so long. Radical transformation was nearing, but Saturn was still caught up in the old ways of being. Then with the conjunction during the Eclipse major transformation, purging and death of the old happened. Now that it's finally ahead, it's like the phoenix has finally risen from it's ashes and we can create a new world and new structures. 

Right before this New Moon, the Sun sextiled Chiron in Aries and squared Uranus in Taurus. As we move forward there's a lot of healing that has occurred recently that we can integrate. Also, Uranus shook us up and is urging us to break free and embrace change. Uranus is the planet that rules Aquarius as well, so that energy is strong right now. Change may look too weird and different and we may not want to embrace it. Have no fear though. Keep moving towards the new, the radical and the different. 

Mercury is also in Aquarius at the time of the New Moon and it's about to sextile Mars in Sagittarius. It's time for a fresh new mindset as well. To think outside the box about things. To detach from things and see them from an objective perspective. With Aquarius and Sagittarius energy joining forces, keep your eye on the future only! Lots of future focused energy. 

It won't impact the New Moon, but Venus in Pisces is moving towards a square with Mars in Sagittarius and a conjunction with Neptune and Mars in Sagittarius is moving towards a square to Neptune as well. There may be some confusion this weekend especially about where the future is going and what direction to go in. It can get sort of spaced out, tired and weird. With Venus and Mars in square there could be a focus on relationships. Perhaps even some relationship tension. About what the future holds. Between emotions and between wanting stimulation and excitement. Between going towards the future you want a bit headstrong instead of what it is meant to be. The key is to tap into Neptune and Venus's conjunction. It's about going with the flow, going with what feels 'right' vs anything else. Going with the dreamy, romantic, other worldly feelings and not second guessing where they are taking you. Your soul knows what's best. Trust the love that feels divine. Trust your true pure feelings. Not the ones tainted by fear. Trust your heart, your dreams and the flow and you will be able to move in the direction that's best for you. 

It's an exciting time filled with change and newness. An intense period of release is waning. We can step fully into the new now. Don't hesitate just because it's unfamiliar. Don't stop just because it seems a bit foggy or doesn't quite make sense. Embrace the radically new, follow your feelings and trust that all will be well. 

Solar Eclipse in Capricorn: A Whole New World

Late last night we had a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn. Eclipse season is here again and lots is changing! 

Think back to summer, especially to July and what was going on in your life then. How has that led to now? What's connected? Those Eclipses back then are an important part of what's happening now. back then it was all about the Cancer energy and the Cancer North Node. Following our hearts. Connecting to emotions. Paths we take in life must be connected to that even now, but it really started back then and releasing anything in the way of that. 

Now we have to tend to the opposite side of things. The Capricorn energy. We need to figure out the material/physical side of things. The practical side. A Solar Eclipse is a powerful new beginning point. This time in a more tangible sense. We must have a new reality to go with our new path of following our hearts and feelings. A reality in alignment with what we feel. This is what is occurring at this time. It's literally a time to enter a brand new reality. A whole new world. It's really important to allow yourself to enter this whole new world at this time. To not hold yourself back. Don't cling to the past. Or be held back by fear. This Eclipse is positive, but the downside of Capricorn energy can be a sense of fear or restriction. Think bigger than that and don't let fear of this new world hold you back. 

The Sun and Moon will actually be conjunct Jupiter during the Eclipse, which is really positive. Jupiter is about luck and expansion. Even in Capricorn. It's time to grow. Expand your reality. This is a really positive part of this Eclipse. Also, a couple days before the Eclipse, Uranus in Taurus was trine the Sun in Capricorn. This energy is still affecting the Eclipse. This energy is influencing a lot of change. A lot of shakeups. You can't stay stagnant in an old reality, you have to shake it up. 

Saturn and Pluto are also in Capricorn, but not conjunct the Eclipse. They are still influencing it though. They are moving closer and closer to their conjunction and will more impact the upcoming Lunar Eclipse. Still though, we have to do away with the old. Accept the end of a cycle and beginning of a new one. It's time to transform the structures in your life. Create new ones. Gain some new power and authority over your life. 

Capricorn also has tons to do with the structures of society and the government. Tons is changing in that area too with the Eclipses, but that's not an area I personally like to dive too deep into with astrology. My niche is more personal astrology. Still though, some of the biggest changes we may see for a long while may happen within these areas. 

~It's been interesting lately. So many changes for so many people. Realities are changing. Changing for the better. Allow it to happen because trust me, you don't want to cling to the old world. The old world is crumbling. Both on personal and collective levels. Build new worlds. It's about time. ~

New Moon in Sagittarius: Taking a Leap of Faith Into a Bright Future

Boy oh boy has the energy leading up to this New Moon been intense! We had a three week Mercury Retrograde taking us down into the depths and shadows confronting inner truths and demons. Lots of inner transformation hopefully took place. All of this was leading to outer change. Over the weekend Mars opposed Uranus bringing change, shakeups and the unexpected. Venus and Jupiter were conjunct and right in line with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy bringing so much growth, hope, expansion, love and a doorway into a bright future. Now to top it off right after that energy is a New Moon and new start in Sagittarius. 

There really aren't big aspects to the New Moon. It's more about the lead up to it that was important. Change is here. New beginnings. The New Moon in Sagittarius is about looking towards the future, out towards the horizon, with hope, faith and optimism. Ready to expand and grow. Ready for a new adventure. We've done the inner work and confronted truths hopefully (we're still processing and integrating it all.) We've experienced some change or shakeups already. Maybe desire (Mars in Scorpio) for change (Uranus). For some there may be endings. We've experienced a doorway of just the best possible things you could want with Venus and Jupiter. This New Moon is way tied into Venus-Jupiter because it's in Sagittarius and we won't see a New Moon in Sagittarius with Jupiter there for 12 years. This is lucky. Take this positive opportunity. Dream big and move into this bright future. If you believe and have optimism, the world really can be your oyster right now. This energy this week/past weekend can be intense, edgy and bring with it some endings, but truly what's overwhelming about this energy is just how dang positive it can be. So much opportunity! Step into this doorway of light. Choose this positive new path and look out towards a bright future. 

New Moon in Libra : A Fresh Start Amidst the Light and the Shadows

On Saturday September 28th 2019, we have a New Moon in Libra in the morning. This New Moon can mark a new beginning for relationships and also for regaining a sense of balance and harmony in our lives. 

Libra is a sign that is all about connecting one on one with others. It's about connection, harmony, balance, fairness, justice, peace, beauty, art and love. With a New Moon in this lovely sign, so many are facing an ability to start fresh in a way within different types of relationships. This can be a time where you agree to compromise and regain balance in relations with others. Always remember as well to balance your relationship with yourself with your relationship to others. This is a time to start a phase that is more balanced. 

Leading up to the New Moon the Sun opposes Chiron, so it's still loosely in affect during the New Moon. While there's a big focus on relationships, there's also focus on our own selves. Healing issues around identity, individuality and independence. Relationships could even be a mirror at this time to show you what you need to heal in your relationship to yourself. It can be an empowering time though at the end of the day. Since this aspect was exact a couple days before the New Moon and is technically moving on, this New Moon could bring the sense of being able to move on from our personal wounds. Getting past them. Getting over them.

In terms of relationship stuff this New Moon can be really interesting because it's kind of connected to lunar cycles we had in late March and throughout April. How is your life in terms of relationships (or maybe in general) connected to that period? How far have you come? Are you able to start fresh with something that was going on back then? Are you finally free to have what you wanted then, but needed to grow through some things first? 

Venus in Libra will be making an awesome sextile to Jupiter in Sagittarius at the time of the New Moon. This is lucky, positive, expansive energy for relationships. This bodes especially well for romantic relationships. There can be this wonderful balance and growth towards the future. There's romance and optimism available. There's beauty if you look for it. 

I've talked about this recently, but I'll talk about it again. Neptune and Black Moon Lilith have been conjunct in Pisces all this week. I don't often bring up Black Moon Lilith, but it's pretty interesting. It's not a planetary body, it's a geometric point. It's the point in the Moon's orbit where it is farthest from the Sun. The darkest point. The shadows. What you cannot see. It represents our shadow side. The parts of ourselves we don't wish to acknowledge. The parts that we hide. The parts of ourselves other don't seem to accept. Our fears. Our hurts. Our 'dark sides'. It's also known as the shadow feminine. The types of females or aspects of females that aren't accepted. Sadly there's all sorts of aspects or ways females can be that haven't been accepted. So basically, a lot of this very hidden energy can come to surface now. Neptune urges us to transmute and transcend these shadows whatever they may be in our lives. They are part of the whole. Perhaps you won't feel whole until you accept all of yourself. The good, the bad and the ugly. The light AND the dark. 

Last, but not least there's an awkward quincunx between the New Moon and Uranus. Quincunx's are when planets are in signs with absolutely nothing in common with each other. Completely incompatible. It's not even like there's tension. There's almost no connection. The New Moon is Libra is about this fresh start in relationships and connections. This beautiful sense of harmony and balance. Uranus is about change, shakeups, breaking free, even sometimes chaos. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. In the midst of these lovely new beginnings will there be some crazy shakeups that seem incompatible with it all? Do we want peace and harmony so bad we're not actually allowing radical change? Regardless there could be a touch of the unexpected that could play out here. 

Overall this is a powerful time. There's such a sense of refreshed relationships. A sense of love and beauty. Yet it's not all unicorns and rainbows. There's this intense shadow aspect. This transmutation and healing . The lightness and darkness of life are meeting up in this perfect yin and yang to propel us forward. Perhaps that is where the true balance is coming from at this time. 

New Moon in Virgo: Cleaning Up, Getting Organized, and Becoming Healthier

Very early tomorrow (August 30th 2019) we are having a New Moon in Virgo. The Virgo energy will be high with 5 planetary bodies in Virgo. This New Moon marks a new starting point for the month ahead. 

This is time for a reset, but in Virgo fashion. Not only do we have 5 planetary bodies in Virgo, but there are 8 in earth signs. The focus is definitely on our material lives, physical lives and on practical matters. At this new starting point it's important to get your life in order, to feel organized. Sort out your work life (it's a good time to start new jobs for some). Get your finances sorted out. If you're scattered in your physical life it's time to get organized. Sort out the details. If anything in your physical life is messy it's a good time to clean it up. Forget spring cleaning, it's time for some end of summer cleaning! It's also important to pay attention to your health and body at this time. Make some new promises to yourself for better self-care. Implement new health routines. Whether it's eating healthier, new exercise routines, skincare, better sleeping patterns or even routines to chill you out and get you in a better mental space like meditating. Our physical lives are where the attention is at. It's time to be organized and healthy. 

Mars is the planet that's the most closely aligned with the New Moon. This is great because Mars propels us forward. It's time to move full steam ahead in your life, just in Virgo fashion. No rushing ahead impulsively. Do so in an organized and calculated way. 

Mercury and Venus are also in Virgo at the time of the New Moon and are joined in this Virgo stellium. With Mercury our minds are ready to think practically and get things in order, which is helpful. With Venus this shows relationships can be involved in all this too. There could be some fresh beginnings in relationships. It's important to make sure relationships are in a healthy space at this time and that they are working well on an everyday level. It's wonderful and important to have all the romance, passion and fun, but it's also important to make sure relationships work practically speaking. To make sure they fit into our everyday lives as well. We're basically just taking stock of every area of our lives and making sure it all works out as it should. Then moving forward with it all. 

The New Moon will be exactly trine Uranus in Taurus. We've been dealing with this Uranus energy all this week leading up to the New Moon as well. This is definitely a time of a lot of change. Our lives are changing. New things are coming together. Sure we need to have everything in order and all that, but not like how we used to. Our lives may be quite different than before, so we need to figure out how to organize and navigate in whatever new life you find yourself in or whatever changes you are going through. Just because some of this energy sounds boring and overly practical doesn't mean things should be stagnant or stay the same. With Uranus here, you need a breath of fresh air, some shake ups, some excitement amidst the need to be grounded. 

Hope everyone has a great New Moon! This is the perfect energy to usher in September with. Sort out the new reality you would like, make any changes, get your life in order and move full steam ahead! Just make sure you don't fall into over perfectionism or being overly critical with all this Virgo energy. All this energy can really help make your material and physical life better however. 

New Moon in Leo: New Beginnings Aligned With Our Authentic Selves

We have finally come out of Eclipse season and Mercury is direct after three weeks of being retrograde! It's been an intense past month or so where everyone's been so encouraged to get in touch with and follow their emotions. Besides that there could have been major new things coming together and a lot of release of the old, especially emotionally. With Mercury Retrograde there could have been some reflection needed, some realizations about what you truly feel. Probably not complete clarity though about how it all plays out. Now with a New Moon in Leo, which happened last night here on the west coast (July 31st) and today in other time zones this really marks the beginning of a new chapter. Whatever new things came into being during Eclipse season, whatever you've realized, whatever you processed and realized, you can take everything you've learned and move forward! 

With the New Moon happening in Leo you are able to start fresh in a way. Anything aligned with your authentic self can get going now. Wherever you are going and whatever you are starting should either jive with your true self, awaken your heart or help you live a life that allows you more freedom to be you and pursue the life you want. This is the key right now. Not just the Sun and the Moon, but Mars and Venus are also in Leo right now. Leo energy is all about showing up in your full authenticity, about having the courage to be yourself and follow your heart, it's about being creative and playful. About shining your light. It's regal. It's time to hold your head up high and own who you are, what you want and what speaks to your heart. This is all the energy we can tap into at the moment. 

Mercury turning direct will bring more clarity. The clarity could take some time to show up since Mercury needs time to move back to the degree where it was before the retrograde. Still the clouds are parting and things may make more sense. Important communications can happen now. There is greater chance of being understood. Greater ability to express feelings. Also, the past can be much more laid to rest. 

Recently the Sun squared Uranus and it still rather affects the New Moon. It's important that we liberate ourselves at this time. Holding onto anything old or unhealthy will probably just result in some crazy shakeups. Also, it's not a good idea to hold on to fear. You are free to be you. To live an authentic life. To follow your heart and express yourself from the heart. Free yourself! Even as the New Moon comes about there could be unexpected things that could come about. 

Venus in Leo is playing a big part during this New Moon as well. Following our hearts in terms of relationships is important now. New beginnings with relationships are possible. Venus will be trine Chiron in Aries at the time of the New Moon. This means within this new beginning energy there is potential for relationship healing. Ability to heal some wounds around love and relationships. This can be very general, but because of the signs these planetary bodies are in, Leo and Aries, there can be a healing around getting to be who you really are in relationships. Healing from times you felt you couldn't be yourself or that it wasn't honored in a relationship. This can affect you within any relationship dynamic, not just romantic and it can also affect you if you're single. There's just a lot of self-love healing with this placement too. To really honor and accept who you truly are. To heal identity issues. To drop the masks. Also, great for healing and following what you really want in relationships. If previously you have not gone after the type of relationship you wanted, weren't in relationships that were true to your heart you can heal from that and move in a better direction. 

Venus will also be squaring Uranus soon after the New Moon. Again, if you are holding onto the past or anything unhealthy in terms of relationships, expect some shakeups. You need to liberate yourself in terms of relationships. Free yourself to have excitement, passion and authentic love. Don't hold on to stagnation, what's no longer working, the fear etc. There could be any sort of unexpected things within the realm of relationships as well since we're dealing with Uranus. 

It's truly exciting that this major Eclipse season is done. It's time to move into some new, more authentically aligned territory. Now we can express ourselves and have more clarity about the direction we are going in. It's a vibrant, exciting, courageous, loving and healing time. Also, unpredictable as Uranus in aspect could throw some curveballs. 

Solar Eclipse in Cancer: Following the Siren Call to Get in Touch With the Depths of Your Feelings

The energy has been building lately to Eclipse season, which is finally here with a Solar Eclipse in Cancer this Tuesday July 2nd 2019. This is a powerful astrological event that is kicking off a powerful month. 

✨Solar Eclipse Basics ✨

A Solar Eclipse happens during a New Moon when the Sun and Moon are on the same side of the Earth and the Moon blocks out the Sun from our sight. With this Solar Eclipse I believe it will only be visible in certain places in South America, not North America. Basically to have a total Eclipse the Moon has to conjunct one of the Lunar Nodes. The North Node is the northern most point that the Moon can cross the ecliptic (the 'apparent' path of the Sun around the Earth) and the South Node the southern most point during a New or Full Moon. During this particular Solar Eclipse the Moon will be conjunct the North Node. The North Node point has been in Cancer this year making it an important energy all year long, but it comes into action when the Moon aligns with it for the Solar Eclipse.

♋Astrology Eclipse Basics ♋

In Astrology the sign the North Node of the Moon is in represents an energy that we need to move towards as a collective and therefore on an individual level. If you have your personal chart looked at you would see more specifics about the energy you personally need to move towards and learn. The sign the South Node of the Moon is in represents an energy that needs to be balanced with the energy of the North Node, but also represents some energy to move away from. With this Solar Eclipse happening on the North Node there's an emphasis on moving towards this new energy and into new beginnings, In fact Eclipse seasons tend to bring plenty of important new beginnings and can also be major times of release. You may find this Solar Eclipse particularly ushers in new beginnings, although there can be a mix of endings and beginnings emphasized all July. 

☆January Eclipses☆

In order to understand this upcoming Eclipse season it's important to understand the January Eclipse season and to look back at that. It's interesting to think about what you were going through and letting go of at that time. Also, not just at that time, but how that impacted your past 6 months. We dealt a lot with the South Node in January and moving away from the past. In fact in some way you may have been continually moving on from the past in some way the last 6 months. Particularly from things that made you feel secure physically or materially that weren't serving you. Any clinging to things out of some sense of physical or material security. Relying on things outside of yourself for security. As we have been working through releasing these things that seemed more practical or secure somehow in a physical/material way we can move more into opening up to our feelings now and having things in our life that we want, that sparks our emotions and hearts instead of sticking with things out of obligation or unhealthy 'security'. Although, while there was release going on at that time it could have marked a period of time of getting your physical life balanced in a healthy way, to build a firm foundation when it came time to focus on the emotional aspect of things. The Lunar Eclipse during January didn't just bring up Cancer-Capricorn energy however, but also touched on Leo-Aquarius energy that had to do with the Eclipses of last summer. Basically we ended January with a theme that continued to evolve the past 6 months. That it was time to embrace the truth of your being. Time to follow your heart and emotions. That you should no longer do things to fit in, please others, or hold on to anything for a sense of safety of security. No more holding onto things for practicality or just cause it made sense mentally. Those themes have led us to where we are now where it's all about getting in touch with our feelings and emotions. 

♋Cancer Energy ♋

During this time and peaking with these Eclipses we are getting more into Cancer energy. Cancer is a water sign and is ruled by the Moon. Both of these things mean it has a lot to do with emotions and feelings. The Moon changes signs the most frequently of any planetary body and goes through different phases throughout the month. Thus, our moods and feelings are fluid and forever changing. It's important to get more in touch with our fluctuating moods and various feelings. The South Node has been in Capricorn, which is ruled by Saturn. For too long there's been such a rigid attitude about life. A harsh 'you got to do what you got to do' attitude. An attitude of suppressing feelings cause they are a sign of weakness or just get in the way. An extreme focus on material security and success. An attitude that this is a 'dog eat dog world'. We have gotten to the point where this has suppressed our emotions and the ever changing nature of our inner world. It's time to get in touch with what we feel again. To let out suppressed emotion. To allow ourselves the freedom to feel. To feel anything and everything that comes up and has been suppressed within our souls. To nurture and accept ourselves for whatever we may feel without judgement. To have compassion and love for ourselves, which can then have a ripple affect towards how we act in regards to others. To break free from rigidity. To break out of that box. To break free from the box in which you have stuffed your feelings. The box where you have been taught to be a well functioning drone. It's time to discover the feelings you have kept down. Any suppression of feelings isn't serving anyone anymore. It's time to get in touch with the fluidity of feelings in an ever changing emotional landscape. Yes, Eclipse seasons can be seen as 'fated' times. Basically they are just times where you have the capability of getting on the right path and new things coming together. Of course it's up to you though. Anything new in your life is going to come about because of being in tune with your feelings. It's all about what feels right and what your heart wants. 

Cancer is a mother energy and if you think about it everyone has an inner mother and an inner father. Perhaps they are just like how your parents were, perhaps not. It's time to mother ourselves however. Do you have a nurturing inner mother who accepts you and your feelings? Or is your inner father stronger and do you try to make him proud and therefore get overly practical, over achieving and shove down those 'messy' feelings? It's time to accept yourself. To nurture yourself and have compassion for yourself. Perhaps you think you can't nurture yourself and you're waiting for someone else to come along and do it for you. Your first responsibility is to your own self. Nobody is going to love or nurture you if you don't give those things to your own self. Self-care is something you should not pass up at this time. Does the thought of self-care seem like a waste of time or something frivolous that you're not entitled to? Well this energy is here to show you otherwise. In order to be successful and to do the practical things we need to do, we need to take care of ourselves so that we can function better. This can be a mix of taking care of your physical body and your mental and emotional self. The world has come to point where it's not going well with people who don't know how to take care of themselves , who are over worked, are cut off from their emotions and who don't have compassion for others. The Nodes and therefore the Eclipses always bring up a shift in energy that the world needs. The more people that deal with these things on an individual level, then things start to shift just a little bit. Of course on a personal level it will be much better for you if you shift into this energy. It will align you to a better way of life and better opportunities. It's kind of like the world's heart is hurting or is even shut off right now. Things are also way too rooted in  patriarchal structures, which this Capricorn South Node energy shows we need to move away from. I mean just look around you. The old structures are not working and things are starting to shift. These Eclipses are just a part of that. 

Of course we can't just get into emotions, nurturing energy, following our hearts and all that jazz without a polarizing force to balance us. That polarizing force is the South Node in Capricorn. Saturn will be exactly conjunct it during the Eclipse as well. We do live in this physical existence and this physical reality has restrictions, which we are reminded of with Saturn's involvement. We still have to function in this physical reality. There are very real responsibilities. From work, to finances to your physical body. You have to remember and balance your physical world responsibilities with your attention to your ever changing emotions and your ability to follow and nurture them. There's always a balance in life. Things have just gotten out of balance. 

Yes, things on a global scale are changing you could say. The structures of society and of governments are changing. The energy is building right now to the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn in January of 2020. These Eclipses are just part of that building energy. Certain societal structures are not working and there are shifts happening. Like I said before we are moving away from some structures that are overly patriarchal. No, it's not like we're going to end up living a drastically different life and end up living in a matriarchy or something. Things don't shift so extremely. The shifts will probably be more subtle. More of a balance could come about. Some structures in the government or in society could get quite tumultuous. I means this Solar Eclipse will be affecting the Solar Return of the United States. Basically the 'birthday' chart of the country for the next year. There's definitely changes coming just sayin'. Anyways, I personally don't really focus on world events etc. with astrology. My speciality and focus is on the personal. Besides I believe it all starts with individuals. It's the only thing you have control of anyways. You can't really go out right now and change the world as wonderful as the sentiment is. You can change your world though, little by little. This is just another opportunity too. One of many on this journey of life. As the wonderful Fernando Pessoa said in his surreal The Book of Disquiet 'A sensitive and honest-minded man, if he's concerned about evil and injustice in the world, will naturally begin his campaign against them by eliminating them at their nearest source: his own person. This task will take his entire life.' 

Basically this Solar Eclipse is ushering in a new emotional based energy and new things in your life in alignment with that. With Saturn on the South Node though we are reminded of restrictions of the physical world and our responsibilities at the same time. They must be in balance. We've had lots of planetary energy in Cancer lately already bringing up all those feels. Funny enough, at the time of the Eclipse Mars and Mercury will be in Leo. This is significant because of the Eclipses last summer in Leo and Aquarius. As we're integrating new lessons and energies we're reminded of what we've learned before. That it's important that we remain aligned with our authentic selves. That anything new in our life we connect to from the heart, feels authentic and allows us to be our true selves. Remember the power of your true authentic self. How good it feels to allow yourself to be exactly who you truly are. Get in touch with your true feelings and own who you really are. This is where the magic lies right now. 

Also, I have to mention that this Cancer- Capricorn energy brings up a lot having to do with security. It's important to find true security within ourselves and not to put all of your sense of security in things or people outside of you. There definitely is a big search for emotional security right now. Just make sure what you seek out is from a healthy, balanced place and that ultimately you feel secure within yourself. 

A smaller aspect going on at the time of the Solar Eclipse is that asteroid Juno is conjunct Mercury in Leo, trine Chiron in Aries and square Uranus in Taurus. There's a lot going on around committed relationships potentially. There could be new commitments or freedom from old wounds. There can be wounds healing in regards to relationships, particularly around whether you can be your authentic self within them and how they impact your identity. It's important to only enter into relationships that are heart based, that are authentic and allow you to be your complete self. Two complete people coming together to share. It's important to break free on the other hand from limiting partnerships or patterns from the past. There can be new things here, but they have to be aligned with your feelings, you have to be allowed to be your true self, and they can't be restrictive basically. Venus will also be in Cancer soon bringing more of an emotional emphasis on relationships etc. It's just one area of life that can be changing right now, that is shown by this energy. Really all areas of life of shifting though. Like I said it depends on your chart. It could be work, finances, home, pursuing personal interest or dreams etc. as well. It could just be a lot of shifts on an inner level. There can be so much changing on the inner level regardless. Many areas of your life could change. You could have new beginnings in one area and endings in another. This is what Eclipse seasons tend to bring about. 

🌊If you look at the lovely painting I have pictured above, during this time it's kind of like your emotions and feelings are sirens that are calling you to the depths of your own being. To draw you into the intense depths and fluid flow of your feelings. Listen to the call. Let yourself be drawn in and seduced. Don't stay up top. If you think of your life right now as a ship that you are sailing think about how small and limited it is compared to the whole ocean. Ships are so small and limiting compared to the vastness and depth of the ocean. Perhaps it feels safe, but it's always vulnerable. The ocean is profoundly powerful. So are our feelings. We could try to suppress them, but one day they will probably surface and overpower us anyways. We can't run from them. You'll be happier now and able to have better opportunities if you just surrender. So go on and heed the call of your inner siren. 🌊

P.S If you would like to know how this Eclipse season is particularly affecting you I'm always available for personal readings, so message me and we can set up a time to look at your chart. Also, I feel like I have so much more to say and explain about these Eclipses it's hard to get it all out, so I may do some sort of facebook live or something where I can be more free to ramble and really get into all of this. No promises, but potentially look out for that! 

New Moon in Gemini: New Connections, Ideas, Thought Patterns and Messages

Get ready to hit the refresh button with a New Moon in Gemini tomorrow! (June 3rd 2019). New Moon's are a time to plant seeds and manifest new things. They set the tone for the month ahead. 

With the New Moon in Gemini it's a time of new connections, new ideas and new thought patterns. It's a very buzzy energy that can have us flitting from here to there. It can be an exciting vibe. It's a great time to connect to people and to converse. Gemini is an air sign and is a very mental energy, so we may be full of ideas, wanting to mentally connect to others and explore different things. It's also an interesting time to take stock of your thought and communication patterns. If you've realized any patterns in these areas that aren't serving you, it's a great time to set an intention to rewrite these patterns. To rewrite some mental programs you might have that are perhaps more negative that may be keeping you in a state of worry or fear for instance. It's a great time to rewire communication habits too. For instance, if you have trouble being more open and expressing yourself you could set an intention to try to overcome that. Perhaps you struggle communicating with a certain person in your life. Maybe you have some communication blocks or problems. Now is a great time to try to overcome that and change some patterns. 

This could also be a time of insight and important messages and communications. Gemini is ruled by Mercury and Mercury happens to also be in Gemini at the time of the New Moon. Mercury is the messenger planet, so this is why we may be receiving different messages. Now, while there is no exact aspect, a square with Neptune and an opposition with Jupiter is looming in the background. We may be getting insights and communications, but some things may still be confusing. It's great our minds are so abuzz during this time, but it's important to trust our intuition at the end of the day.  You might have various facts thrown at you, but it's important to feel out situations and trust your gut. It's also important to have some trust and faith. To not let the monkey mind get the best of you. Last, but not least, keep the bigger picture in mind as you explore all the ideas and messages coming your way. Don't get lost in the details. 

At the time of the New Moon, Venus is coming off a trine to Pluto as well. Venus has been making nice aspects lately. This bodes well for our relationships and projects, which ties in really nicely with this Gemini New Moon energy. It really is a great time for new connections, new projects and new creations. 

New Moon in Taurus 🌱

Since March 20th we've been dealing with some interesting lunar cycles what with two Full Moons in Libra. Relationships and our own independence and identity have been front and center. People were dealing with so many different scenarios and turning points. Now that phase has come to an end and we have reached a point where we can start fresh with this New Moon in Taurus on May 4th ( at 3:45 PM PST). 

New Moons represent a time where we can plant seeds and really start fresh. The New Moon in Taurus in the northern hemisphere seems to have an extra emphasis on starting fresh since it takes place during the height of spring right after May Day. With the fertile earthy energy of Taurus we can really ground in new energy in our realities. It's prime time to manifest what we'd like in our physical lives. 

During the last month or so we may have ended some phases that weren't right for us, had some realizations about what we'd like in relationships (both romantic and otherwise) and made significant discoveries about our personal journeys and identities. Perhaps we feel clearer about what we want or perhaps some things are still being revealed. Regardless, now we can start fresh in a way. 

This energy could impact any area of your life depending on your personal chart. Since Taurus is a physical sign however this is of course a good time for tangible new beginnings related to work, finances etc. Taurus has to do with the foundations of your physical world. Since we've been dealing with lots of relationship energy and Taurus is ruled by Venus there can definitely be new beginnings in love. Venus is in Aries right now and with Venus being the first sign in the zodiac, I'd say there is definitely a lot of new, fresh energy in that department. Also, with Venus in Aries our relationship to our own selves and our independence is of the utmost importance. We may have new beginnings in terms of how good we feel within our own identities and self-worth. Also, with any new beginnings in relationships we are going to want ones where our own selves are honored. Where two individuals can share, but never give up their own selves. 

While the New Moon isn't exactly aspecting all the Capricorn energy, it's flowing with it quite nicely. This really shows that we are really able to ground new things into our realties and create new structures at this time. There's been lots of changes and old things falling away, now we get to start building the new. 

~It's so nice to be at this New Moon phase. Spring is in full swing and just like the flowers, we can start to see new things blooming in our lives. It's a fertile and fresh time. ~

New Moon in Aries: Are you Ready For New Beginnings?

Tomorrow, April 5th 2019 (1:50 AM PST) we will be having a New Moon in Aries. Mercury turned direct last week, but it was on top of Neptune, which meant things were still kind of foggy and perhaps not moving forward very fast. This New Moon marks a time of things starting to pick up the pace and a time of new beginnings. 

Aries is the first sign in the zodiac and has to do with new beginnings anyways, so the New Moon in Aries is always a potent one. Things are picking up speed now. It's time to plant those seeds and go after what you desire. 

It's important to actually look at the time of the Full Moon we just had because this New Moon is connected to it. That Full Moon was on March 20th. It marked a time of release and also a time of new beginnings. If you released something, now this New Moon marks a time to plant the seeds for what will come next for you. If you started something new than this is a time to really continue cultivating that. The Full Moon we are having next on April 19th will be the final Moon phase to tie into this series. At that time there could be a big culmination and turning point and a time of final release. All these Moon phases are dealing with the Aries/Libra energy and that's why they are connected. Stories are unfolding and this New Moon is the middle portion of the story. 

This New Moon will mark different types of new beginnings for everybody, but some general Aries energy has to do with really stepping into your independence, individuality and personal identity. How can you feel more empowered in your own life and how does that tie into your personal story that is unfolding? What is your new identity? Or have you uncovered your true identity yet that was there all along? Aries is also an energy that has to do with initiative, so what are you initiating at this time? 

While we finally have some cardinal, forward moving energy to pursue what we would like, there still is an element of needing to go with the flow. This New Moon also marks the time when Mercury finally moves ahead of Neptune and is picking up speed. The energy is forward moving and we don't have to surrender to the flow as extremely as before. We do still have to go with it though till Mercury moves out of Pisces on the 17th. Now we have more of a balance of initiating and going with the flow energy. So don't forget this important balance. Also, while things will start to get more clear now, it still could seem a bit cloudy till the 17th. It's like the clouds are slowly starting to part to reveal the Sun. While some people may be quite pleased to see this super flowy energy go, it's important that we remember the beautiful lessons it's taught us. It's taught us to trust our intuition, feelings and the universe instead of logic. I think that is so valuable and I hope may help you navigate your lives a bit differently now. 

Mars is the ruler of Aries and therefore this New Moon, so it's interesting to see where it's at right now. It recently moved into Gemini. This adds an energy of making connections, communicating with people and having lots of new ideas to this New Moon. This is fun energy. Mars will also be making a sextile to Chiron in Aries during the New Moon. This is helping us heal identity wounds or wounds around independence. Also, perhaps wounds around initiation or going after what you want. This healing energy can help us move forward more confidently if we let it. 

The last thing I want to mention is that the New Moon is making a loose square to Saturn in Capricorn. I feel like this is energy looming in the background rather then being really apparent. The Sun will move towards an exact square this coming week and I think that's when we'll feel it the most. Saturn is reminding us of reality. We can start fresh and flow towards our dreams, but we have to be reminded of responsibilities, restrictions and difficult grown up things we need to do in order to move forward. These things we may deal with much more in the week ahead, but it's best to start to become aware of them now. 

This past month was a weird time, but also a very powerful one. Now we get to move forward more , continue new stories we have started and watch as the clouds slowly, but surely start to clear. 

Mercury Retrograde and New Moon in Pisces: Let Go of Mentally Trying to Understand and Surrender to the Flow

Is everybody ready? We are entering into a MAJOR Pisces zone. This is because we have a Mercury Retrograde in Pisces starting right now (March 5th 2019) that will last till March 28th and a New Moon in Pisces on March 6th 2019 (8:03 am PST). This next month prepare to leave typical reality behind and enter into a crazy high energy Piscean zone. It's time to go about things in a totally different way because what you're used to won't work during this time. At it's lowest this time could be very confusing or even chaotic. Yet, if you navigate this energy well, which I'm here to help explain to you (yay astrology!) this time can be really cool and profound. I have such a strong feeling that this is a time where it's so important to know what's up with the astrology because it can be a game changer. 

Before I even get into the specifics I want to talk about the overall way to navigate this energy because that's the most important thing at this time. 

The thing that you need to forget about this month is mental 'understanding'.

The thing you need to totally tune in with this month is 'the flow'. 

Got that? Ok let me explain.

Mercury has to do with the mind, thinking, and attempting to understand situations. Mercury however is in Pisces and there's this New Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune. Pisces isn't about thinking or understanding. It's about connection to all that is. It's about flow. It's about surrender. When there is a situation in our life what we understand about it is always married to what we also don't understand about it. We come up with some answers though through thinking and then perhaps feel good about it or maybe we just get more confused or frustrated. All of this comes about through thinking. Right now though the typical powers of thinking will not work for us. All situations we must not attempt to understand. Perhaps we will realize that some things we rationalized in the past we truly didn't understand at all. We filled in the blanks with rationalization and it may not have been the complete truth of the situation at all. At this time when events happen or when you connect with people, don't try to rationalize or understand. Go with things without needing to know why. Follow what you feel about them and also get deeply in touch with your intuition. If an opportunity comes up and you want to do it, do it without attempting to understand or fit it into the rest of your life. If you feel repulsed by something and don't want to do it, then don't. If something doesn't work out just let it be. It simply isn't working out. Don't obsess or attempt to understand it. It's the same with people who you connect with or who may come into your life. With Mercury Retrograde the past can come up. Don't try to understand or make sense of that either. Just let it be what it was and appreciate it or not. It's time to just accept things. To just be. To let things flow. In this state of flow and surrender, acceptance and complete going with how you feel about things is where the magic happens. Through getting out of your 'head' you'll start to see what is true and how much your can't understand and that's completely ok. A new way of being will be born that is needed in this strange space this next month, yet it can impact how you live your life from here on out. It can be so powerful. You may break free from illusions as you realize that your mind brought those about when you thought you understood a situation, but all you really did was assume. 

Ok, so now let's talk a bit about Mercury Retrograde specifically. When Mercury is Retrograde it is closer to the earth and appears to be moving backwards. It isn't though. It just looks like it. It's energy is actually super heightened and it's so close we can either lose perspective or even get overwhelmed with the energy. However since astrology is always from the earth's perspective since we are inhabitants of earth there is still a 'backwards moving' quality. When looking at an astrology chart Mercury moves backwards in degrees during a retrograde. This is why we can become reflective at these times, re-do things, spend some more time working on something before moving on and why the past comes up. Getting back to the fact that Mercury is closer to the earth than usual means that retrogrades can be a 'buzzy' time filled with connections and communications. Also just lots of information. Sometimes it can get to be so much that there is a shut down and it can become a quiet and withdrawn time. If that happens it may be needed and beneficial, so it's totally good to go with that. This time with it being in Pisces though our minds are not extra activated in the usual way. We may be extra intuitive. Things we are thinking could feel like 'downloads' from the cosmos. If we got too into our heads at this time we could end up in a very confused and chaotic state, so don't go there! 

It's also important to note with all this energy that substances at this time could lead to a rather dark rabbit hole. The energy is such that you could seriously feel high sometimes (or who knows maybe all the time!) without taking anything! 

Mercury Retrograde is known for technology and appliances going on the fritz and I think it's cause it's so close that the energy just gets too intense, things can crap out. I guess it's good to take note of, but perhaps can't be helped. 

Mercury Retrograde can also be known for miscommunications or a time to be careful about signing things or traveling. It doesn't have to be that way at all. These are just results of higher 'buzzy' energy. It you are careful and take your time attending to details and are not impulsive you can avoid difficulties. 

Alright now let's tie in the New Moon in Pisces energy! As with all New Moon's it's a new beginning point. With it being in Pisces though conjunct Neptune, which is the planet that rules Pisces, it's a different type of new beginning. One that comes with surrendering to the flow. Being ok with the fact that all may not be clear and you may not know what will happen next. One that can bring such strong spiritual connection and connection to the universe. It's time to trust in the cosmic forces as we move forward. The New Moon and Neptune are also conjunct the asteroid Vesta in Pisces. Vesta has to do with our 'inner flame'. 

Guys this is such a crazy powerful time! We are entering a time if you're open to it to align with your inner flame and spark. The cosmos. The cosmic forces. The flow of life itself. Forget about the small human acts of rationalizing and trying to mentally understand. Of course thinking is an important part of life as a human on earth and it's not like we're going to stop thinking completely or anything. At this time though, what's more important is surrender to the great, vast, beautiful flow of life without needing to control, understand or see where it's going. Reality and dreams may be hard to differentiate between now. So what? We must flow or become chaotic or confused right now. Always trust your intuition and your feelings during this time. Stop trying to mentally understand everything. This time can be so epically magical and interesting if you go with it. 

🚤Wishing you all smooth sailing in this new navigation of life this month. May it lead you to where you are meant to be and open you up to radical new ways of being and dealing with situations and people in your life. I'm honestly so excited and fascinated to navigate the seas of the month ahead with this totally different way of operating and I hope you are too! 🚤

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn

It's eclipse time everyone! Eclipse season is always a time where fate plays a big part and where the universe really tries to get us on the right track. Tomorrow (January 5th 2019) we are having a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn. The eclipses are the times during the year where the Nodes are highlighted. Eclipses only happen astrologically when the Sun and/or Moon are conjunct a Node. This eclipse they are not super close, so that's why it's a partial one. 

This is an exciting time because this is the first eclipse we've had since the Nodes entered Cancer and Capricorn. This eclipse we're dealing with the South Node, which is usually an energy we need to have figured out in order to learn our North Node lesson. There is a tremendous amount of Capricorn energy surrounding this as well. Besides the South Node and the Sun and Moon, there is Pluto, Saturn, and Mercury in Capricorn as well. It's a full on Capricorn party! 

I feel like with the South Node there is an energy of moving away from some things. Particularly from the past. Things that made us feel secure, particularly physically or materially that aren't serving us anymore. The Cancer and Capricorn axis has to do with security issues, which we will be dealing with and healing during the Nodes stay there. This Solar Eclipse we will be dealing with Capricorn energy. We will be dealing with our sense of physical security. If we have lingering attachments it's time to let them go. It is a Solar Eclipse though and that represents a new beginning. It's time to let go of structures that don't bring us true security or happiness and start fresh with new structures and things that work better for us in our lives. Time to have a new relationship as to what security means for you as well. 

This can be a time where we really establish something new in our lives. To transform structures in our lives. This can be great for new beginnings in any area. Job/career, relationships, projects etc. Also, within your physical body. As long as you keep in mind that they should be based in a healthy sense of security. Remember that true security comes from within. You are like the pole in the middle of a tent and everything in your life is like the pegs that hold up all the different parts of the tent. Every time you put your sense of security in one of these things, you get off center and the tent collapses. You must maintain your center during this time! 

When the focus changes to the North Node in Cancer (this will be a big focus during Cancer season in the summer) we will be dealing with a lot of emotions. This focus on the South Node is a great time to get secure physically in a healthy way and get our outer lives situated, so that when it comes time to focus on the emotional you have a firm foundation in which to do so. 

This is a powerful time! Old things that aren't working for us and are bringing us a false sense of security will fall away. New structures in your life can come into being. Definitely a powerful time of new beginnings. We can get secure in our physical lives, so that we have a firm foundation in which to explore our emotions later on. It's time to get healthy and grounded. We also are in a time with a lot of movement pushing forward. The majority of the planetary energy is in cardinal signs right now, which has to do with the initiating factor and starting new things. Also on Sunday Uranus turns direct. I don't really talk about the outer planets retrogrades cause they retrograde so much and it's not felt quite the same way as the inner planets. Still though, this means that every single planet will be moving forward! This is really powerful!
