New Moon in Capricorn: Ambition, Motivation and Hard Work

© hdwallpapersos.com

On December 21st 2014 at 5:36 PM (PST) there will be a New Moon in Capricorn which will be the last New Moon of the year. There's not a lot going on with this New Moon when it comes to aspects and such, so it shouldn't be too intense. 

Capricorn is a very ambitious sign, so this New Moon is great to start following your ambitions or to decide to work harder to fulfill your dreams. If you haven't had the drive to get projects going or haven't felt motivated recently, this New Moon could give you the drive you may have been lacking. For a select few, this New Moon could even give you a lucky break or chance for success. With Christmas only four days after this New Moon,  this could help you get some last minute Christmas things done if you have been procrastinating. Also with New Years right around the corner, this New Moon may make you feel motivated to start making some New Year's resolutions. New Year's always is in the sign of Capricorn, which is probably why we have New Year's resolutions in the first place. Capricorn is full of ambition and so are our resolutions. 

Overall this isn't a crazy or intense New Moon. It shouldn't be emotional or anything like that, it is just very practical. All this New Moon is really giving us is the chance to structure our lives a bit more, get done what we need to do, and to follow our ambitions and dreams. 

Full Moon in Gemini: The Last Full Moon of the Year

Tomorrow, December 6th 2014, we will have the last Full Moon of the year at 4:27 AM (PST). The Full Moon will be in Gemini and there is a lot of planetary energy going on around it. 

The most intense aspect to this Full Moon will be Chiron's square to both the Moon and the Sun. Chiron's involvement in this Full Moon means that we all will have to release and deal with some of our wounds. Chiron's square to the Moon in Gemini signifies that we have to release mental and thought patterns that are no longer serving us. It's important that we free up our minds during this Full Moon. Chiron's square to the Sun signifies that we also need to release beliefs that we have held that our no longer serving us. Basically, Chiron's involvement in this Full Moon is showing us that it's time to release any negative thoughts and beliefs we've had about ourselves, others, or the world during the past year. Perhaps some of our thoughts and beliefs have held us back in some way this past year. Chiron is in Pisces, so perhaps our negative thoughts and beliefs have made us loose faith in some way or made us feel disconnected and alone. Chiron's square during this last Full Moon of the year, is helping us to release these mental habits, so that we can start the new year off right. Chiron is urging us to start 2015 off with a mind clear of negative thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs, so that we are no longer held back by stinkin' thinkin'.  

During the past week or so, some of you may have had a hard time. The energy may have felt intense to you, things may have felt out of control, or some unexpected events may have happened. Personally I have felt and seen evidence of this weird energy! Loved ones have complained of intense and emotional energy, the weather has been a little crazy where I live, my cat was acting odd, and my sleeping pattern has been really off. Perhaps some of you have experienced similar things. This intense energy is because of a square between Uranus and Pluto. They have squared each other numerous times during the past year or so and every time they square the energy is intense and weird to say the least. Uranus also was trine the Sun this week adding to the madness. Uranus will still be trine the Sun during the Full Moon and will play a part in this planetary extravaganza. Uranus is the wild card of all the planets, so who knows what sort of wacky unexpected energy it will bring during this Full Moon. Although, Uranus's energy still may have been felt stronger earlier in the week and may not cause much havoc over the weekend. In any case, be prepared for whatever might come your way! 

Overall this Full Moon has a lot to do with thinking, beliefs and our minds. If we release any negativity and what not, we will be able to make room for wonderful new thoughts, ideas and beliefs. We can also clear our minds and make room to learn some new things! The energy may be intense, but as always the planets are trying to help and guide us. Banish those bad thoughts and beliefs from your heart and mind, so that you can heal your wounds and start afresh in the new year. 

Sagittarius: The Archer

 Yesterday, November 22nd 2014, the Sun entered the wonderful sign of Sagittarius. The Sun will stay in Sagittarius for about a month and because of this I would like to talk about the traits of Sagittarius in general and as a Sun sign. 

Sagittarius is the ninth sign in the zodiac and represents the ninth stage of evolution through the signs. Sagittarius is the first transpersonal sign and realizes that we are all part of a bigger picture. Therefore Sagittarius is greatly concerned with seeking the truth of how every thing fits together.  This makes Sagittarians seekers and philosophers, questioning life and how it works. 

Sagittarians usually love learning because they are always seeking answers. Sagittarius is  the sign  that rules higher education and many Sagittarians may decide to go to college or at least devote part of their lives to independent learning. Sagittarians may also have interest in religion or spirituality because of their strong desire to find answers about how the universe works. 

Sagittarians are usually quite free-spirited. They are ruled by the freedom loving planet Jupiter, so it's no wonder that they enjoy and cherish their freedom. If you have a Sagittarius in your life , remember to never restrict them in any way because chances are, they won't like it! Their love for freedom can also be expressed through travel, which they usually adore. Many Sagittarians long to roam the world to explore and learn about foreign countries and cultures. 

Sagittarius is a fire sign which makes Sagittarians action oriented most of the time. They usually like when there is a lot of action in their lives. Sometimes this desire for action can manifest as a love for sports. Sagittarians can be quite athletic if they have an inclination for it. The desire for action can also make Sagittarians highly invested in the future and many of them love to set future goals for themselves. 

Sagittarians are optimists. This is probably due to the fact that they are ruled by Jupiter which is the most benevolent and positive planet. Sagittarians always see the bright side of things and are usually pretty enthusiastic. 

Overall, Sagittarius is a lovely and cheerful sign that is on a quest for the truth. Happy Birthday month to all the Sagittarians out there and everyone remember to think more optimistically this month just like a Sagittarius (It will do you good, trust me !) 

New Moon in Sagittarius: Heading in New Directions

On November 22nd 2014 at 4:32 AM (PST) there will be a New Moon in Sagittarius. This should be an optimistic and positive New Moon, which will be a welcome change after the two eclipses we had and all the Scorpio energy that has been around lately. 

The New Moon in Sagittarius is all about going in a new direction and setting new goals. Sagittarius loves adventure and looks toward the future with positive aspirations, so expect to be doing that as well. Sagittarius is a fire sign, so expect for things to start moving quicker in your life. Think about things you have been wanting to do lately, but have been putting on the back burner. Those things are what you should finally give attention too. Where this New Moon falls in your Natal Chart will determine what area of your life you will be putting new energy into. Perhaps you will want to start a new creative project, get a new job, or go in a new direction with a relationship. Sagittarius rules foreign travel, so perhaps it's time to finally decide to take that trip you've been dying to take.

Regardless of which direction this Sagittarius New Moon takes you, you should feel a burst of positive energy during this time. This New Moon is a welcome relief after some intense energy lately and should give us all a breath of fresh air and new found inspiration. 

Full Moon in Taurus: Goodbye Stability, Hello Change!

On November 6th 2014 there will be a Full Moon in Taurus at 2:23 PM. This Full Moon will further enforce the issues that the Solar Eclipse in Scorpio dealt with, mainly the need to transform. 

A Full Moon always happens when the Sun and the Moon are opposing. This Full Moon, the Moon will be in Taurus and the Sun will be in Scorpio, which means that we will be dealing with Taurus and Scorpio issues. Full Moons are about letting go of that which no longer serves us, so we will have to let go of Taurus issues this Full Moon. The issue that we really have to deal with during the Full Moon is our relationship to stability. Do we cling to it too tightly? Are we playing it too safe? Are we being excessively stubborn? We have to let go of our dependance on stability because the Scorpio Sun, particularly after the Solar Eclipse is urging us to transform our lives and welcome change. 

Venus will be conjunct the Sun during the Full Moon which brings relationships to the forefront. Astrologically, relationships have been on the radar recently. This particular conjunction during the Full Moon urges us to transform our relationships on a deep level. Pluto will also be playing a minor part during this Full Moon by a loose trine with the Moon. Pluto just further urges us to welcome change and transform ourselves. 

It's all about transformation these days! So let go of that which no longer serves you, let go of your dependency on stability, and let yourself and your life transform and change. A good thing to remember right now, particularly during this Full Moon, is that the only constant thing in life is change.
