VIRGO FULL MOON - 27 February 2020

2/25/2021

Picture

Exact 8.17am UK time.
 
This Full Moon brings the theme of health and healing into focus, with the Sun now in sensitive, compassionate and imaginative Pisces, sitting directly opposite the Moon in humble, analytical and health-conscious Virgo. Indeed, there is a huge emphasis on our emotional and physical health, as the Virgo Moon is also the focus of a Yod pattern which is also known as a “Finger of God”. We often have issues within our physical body that are reflective of emotional or spiritual wounding from the past that may still be unresolved or unhealed. Virgo helps us to be more aware of our old wounds, flaws and imperfections and to contemplate what we might need to do to improve our situation, such as adjusting our emotional and physical “diet”, exercise, mindfulness, inner work and healthy routines. Pisces, however, is the part of us that helps us to truly accept and forgive ourselves and others and find compassion for the parts of ourselves that are not perfect. The build up to this Moon could create conditions whereby we have no choice but to face our wounds and tender spots, as we are invited to do some inner work in order to free ourselves of old, stuck energy that is preventing us from healing and moving forward.
 
Virgo helps us to understand the mind/body connection, inviting us to look at our health in a more “wholistic” way that does not involve simply taking a pill to mask the symptom, but rather seeks to discover the emotional and spiritual root of whatever ails us. Virgo is adept at the art of discernment, encouraging us to be mindful of who we spend time with, how we spend our time and what we put into our body. Pisces invites us to turn inward and meditate, and to feel into the energy behind whatever we are experiencing. It is helpful to tune into whatever the problem is and ask our body to give us messages that will help us to understand where the pain is coming from. This Moon certainly has the potential to bring things to a head in terms of our mental, emotional and spiritual health, but crises are very helpful sometimes to help us realise what is out of alignment so that we can take steps to heal and improve ourselves or better our situation.
 
There is also the possibility that the Pisces energy could take us into overwhelm or victim/martyr mode, while the Virgo energy could bring anxiety and worry that prevents us from being able to think properly and make the necessary adjustments. Indeed, we may just want to hide under the bed or numb out somehow! However, there is also the potential for profound healing and the capacity to be of service to one another in the spirit of unconditional love and a genuine desire to help. While the Virgo part of ourselves can be quite nit-picky and critical, it does so with a genuine desire to help us to see what we might need in order to heal or improve ourselves. While it is hard to receive constructive criticism or hear what is out of alignment or “wrong” with us, if we can receive it with sincere humility and not get over-sensitive or defensive then we will derive the greatest benefit from it. Easier said than done sometimes, as we can so easily read it as judgement and an attack on our ego! However, Pisces is the part of us that seeks to dissolve any barriers that might be preventing us from truly connecting to spirit, and that includes our egos!
 
Saturn and Chiron are at the other end of this Yod or Finger of God configuration, putting considerable pressure on this Virgo Moon! On the one hand this could symbolise the difference between the Saturnian authoritarian, conventional, controlling way of dealing with the crisis we are currently facing versus a more natural and holistic approach to our emotional, spiritual and physical health through diet and healthy living. With Saturn in Aquarius, this Yod could also bring a greater awareness of the effect that the governmental control over our liberties and livelihoods, the isolation and the overuse of technology is currently having on our mental, spiritual and emotional health. This crisis could be peaking as the Moon becomes full. On yet another level we may be forced to look at our own wounds, unresolved issues and sensitive areas in a very realistic way, without the rose-tinted spectacles on. It is important not to judge ourselves or succumb to guilt or shame and beat ourselves up about our past mistakes that have led us to the wounds we bear. Similarly, we are encouraged not to judge other people on their decisions and beliefs.
 
The resolution to this Yod is the Sun in Pisces, which invites us to tend to our spiritual connection and approach ourselves and others in the spirit of kindness, unconditional love and compassion. It reminds us to breathe and practice being truly in the present, rather than beating ourselves up about the past or projecting our fears into the future. Pisces helps us to surrender to what is and find greater acceptance of ourselves and others, reminding us that ultimately we all want the same thing, despite our seeming differences and sense of separation. The higher vibration of Pisces brings greater sensitivity and empathy for others and the capacity to drop our walls and judgments and truly connect with one another in the spirit of love, understanding and unity.
 
Pisces doesn’t believe in boundaries or barriers and recognises that ultimately we all come from the same melting pot and will return there again. We are invited to drop the blame and shame and to extend our love to ourselves and one another, with the awareness that there is not one person in this world right now that is not going through something on one level or another. In the words of a meme I saw recently, we may all be in the same storm but we are not all in the same boat. Be kind. We never know what someone else is going through that they are not telling us.
 
It helps that Venus has recently moved into Pisces, helping us to relate to one another with greater compassion and sensitivity. Venus will be in Pisces until the Equinox on 21 March, bringing the potential for greater acceptance of others and the capacity for true forgiveness and kindness towards ourselves and one another. This is very welcome indeed, helping us to truly connect with one another and recognise our similarities rather than focusing on any differences we may have. However, Pisces is not the best at boundaries, so we may experience issues in that area, not to mention needing to discern when to help and when to stand back, who is good for us and who it may be best to keep away from for our greatest good. Venus in Pisces can tend to see the best in everyone and fail to recognise their shortcomings, which is a beautiful quality but can also get us into trouble when we are so busy relating to someone’s divinity that we are completely blindsided by their humanity!
 
The Saturn Uranus square is now on the wane until the next time the two planets come up against each other, which is in June, but the energy of the square could very much be brought into focus during this Full Moon. While Saturn is challenging the Moon, Uranus is forming a harmonious trine aspect to both the Sun and Moon, helping us to create positive change in our lives and to step outside of the status quo. There is a sense that we could somehow “wake up” and see things from a different perspective, possibly gaining greater insight and even having some surprising epiphanies. Uranus is challenging the structure, authority and control of Saturn, potentially breaking down our view of reality and offering a different perspective on the world and the situation we are currently facing. While Saturn represents authoritarian control and the way we have been conditioned to behave and respond, Uranus is the maverick planet that releases us from any unhealthy or inappropriate programming and liberates us from consensus reality and authoritarian control. There is definitely a sense that the Saturnian structures of our lives will be broken down over the course of this year, which could be quite unsettling but is also quite exciting and even liberating.
 
The Sabian symbol for the Full Moon, at 9° Virgo feels like it expresses the energy of the Saturn/Uranus square somewhat: “An expressionist painter at work”, which Dane Rudyar describes as “ The urge to express one’s individualised sense of value regardless of tradition. The individual is seen reacting against cultural standards and stereotyped ways of interpreting his perceptions. This is a statement of uncompromising self-reliance, which may even imply a kind of defiance and a challenge to society. The mind is seeking to discover the character of the basic and true foundation of individual selfhood, the AUM tone (or logos) of individual being. In the process, however, what is expressed is usually the reflection of a deep catharsis with emotionally charged and often tragic overtones.” There is a sense of rebellion to this symbol, as if we are being asked to look at things in a different light. This is a time to get creative and envision a world we want to bring into being, despite the potential reality that we appear to currently be facing.
 
This Moon surely does feel like it could bring some uncomfortable material up to the surface, but could also be profoundly healing. Virgo does have a propensity to make us focus on our flaws, mistakes, inadequacies and shortcomings, creating some kind of healing crisis that helps us to recognise what needs to change in our lives and what we still need to heal or let go of. However, it definitely helps to harness the energy of Pisces and turn inward so that we can hear the whisper of our soul telling us what we need. This Moon reminds us to be kind to ourselves and to others, and to find a greater sense of acceptance for all that we are, warts and all. While we may experience feelings  of anxiety and overwhelm as the Moon comes to fruition, we are invited to simply breathe deeply  and bring ourselves into the present moment, for that is the only place that we can truly find peace.

AQUARIUS NEW MOON / YEAR OF THE YIN METAL OX - 11/12 February 2021

2/9/2021

Picture
New Moon - 11 February, exact at 7.05pm UK time.
Chinese New Year -  12 February
 
Well, there is a veritable Aquarius party going on at the moment, with the Sun, Moon, retrograde Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pallas Athena all in this eccentric, rebellious, humanitarian sign! Aquarius calls for us to release ourselves from our conditioning and programming and discover who we really are and what we really think. This is the sign that encourages us to become our own unique self, even if it means having to stand apart from the crowd. Aquarius is a very friendly sign that tends to march to the beat of its own drum, regardless of what everyone else is doing.
 
While Capricorn represents authority such as parents, teachers and governments, who give us the rules and regulations to obey and follow, Aquarius comes after Capricorn and is the part of us that questions the rules and stands up to authority if needs be. This is the flavour of this New Moon, which calls us to think outside of the box and look at things from a different perspective. Aquarius helps us to detach from the status quo and see things from a more objective view point. Sometimes it helps to take a step back so that we can see more clearly. For this New Moon we might like to focus on and set intentions for our hopes and visions for a better future, as Aquarius is a visionary sign by nature. This Moon could help us to see more clearly what needs to change both inwardly and outwardly in order to create the life we seek.
 
Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, is currently locked into battle with Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, with a challenging square aspect between the two planets that will be exact on 17 February. This is the first of three squares between Uranus and Saturn, so it is an important energy this year, much like the Pluto Jupiter conjunction last year. Saturn is the planet of structure, tradition, societal rules, authority and control, while Uranus is the planet of revolution, awakening, rebellion, change and innovation; two very different characters indeed! Which of these two mighty characters will win the battle? When Saturn and Uranus get together we tend to experience radical change, as we are urged to break out of old habits and patterns and get rid of any personal or societal structures that are limiting, repressive or worn out. Indeed, while Saturn represents our personal construct of reality, Uranus, the Great Awakener could potentially blow that apart, waking us up and challenging the limits of our reality, which could be both exciting, enlivening or incredibly destabilising!  
 
As these two have it out with each other we could see a continuation of the dismantling of the structures of society, bringing about the birth of a new world. However, Saturn calls us be very clear indeed about the kind of world we want this to be and to truly take responsibility for creating it. What kind of reality do we want to live in? What kind of world to we want our children to inherit? Saturn in Aquarius could give us a heavy dose of the reality of the technological age we are living in, not to mention the potential for Saturnian power structures using technology and artificial intelligence as a means of control. Uranus is the planet that wakes and shakes us up and calls for radical change, revolution and innovation. It is currently in Taurus, which could bring some kind of overhaul of our financial system and, combined with Saturn, the potential for more control over finance through the use of technology. Change is afoot and it will be very interesting to see what comes about in the next week or so as these two planets, representing the old versus the new, tradition versus innovation, the authoritarian versus the rebel, clash in the heavens.
 
Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is also in Aquarius at the moment and is sitting right next to Jupiter for this New Moon. This combo can bring great benefit from us being open and tolerant towards one another and being willing to truly take in other points of view. Equally, we may benefit from detaching or taking stepping back from our loved ones, for whatever reason, in order to see things more clearly. Venus in Aquarius is friendly but not too familiar and allows each person to be completely themselves. We don’t always have to agree, but we can love each other nevertheless. Sometimes a bit of distance is needed to see the wood for the trees.
 
Jupiter in Aquarius encourages us to keep an open mind and to think outside the box, allowing our more rigid beliefs to be challenged and even broken down. Jupiter is the ruler of the Sagittarius South Node, which is currently showing up the disparity between our beliefs and the actual truth, while the Gemini North Node is encouraging us to use our common sense and do some research in order to find the truth we seek. While the Sagittarius part of us may be somewhat fanatical about our beliefs, wanting to convince and convert others to our point of view and maybe even being susceptible to indoctrination, the Gemini North Node encourages us to keep an open mind, to be curious and listen to other points of view even if they differ from our own. Gemini invites us to find some proof to back up our opinions and to apply some logic and sense so that we can differentiate between fact and fiction.
 
Speaking of fact and fiction, the good news is that Neptune is now moving away from the square to the Nodes that has been so prominent for the past few months. This has made it so very hard to find the truth, as it has been shrouded and veiled, creating so much uncertainty and confusion.  Indeed, it has almost felt like a spell or enchantment has been cast, putting people into some kind of a trance. The veil may start lifting now, slowly, so that the confusion, mixed messages, deception, illusion, delusion, propaganda, subliminal messaging, smoke screens, glamour and enchantments can hopefully lessen, or at least have less power over us. This will be very welcome indeed, as there has been much confusion in recent times, not to mention the urge to just numb out in order to cope with the overwhelm and information overload. Hopefully the fog is now lifting!
 
Mercury, the ruler of the Gemini North Node, is still retrograde in Aquarius, encouraging us to look back over things and question what we have been told to be true. Aquarius asks us to think outside the box, to be open to looking at things from another perspective and allow our minds to be blown! The retrospective action of Mercury invites us to reflect, revisit and review, and by looking back we may experience some surprising insight and epiphanies. Often we find ourselves reflecting on the past during a Mercury retrograde and people may even pop up from our past with whom we have unfinished business or who have a message for us. Indeed, we may be in for some surprises!
 
We also have the Year of the Yin Metal Ox starting on 12 February, after having just experienced a rather tumultuous Year of the Yang Metal Rat. The Ox is gentle by nature and is grounded, strong, diligent, loyal, hard working, compassionate, conscientious, trustworthy, nurturing and has respect for others, so these qualities will be felt this year. However, it can also be a bit rigid and stubborn and isn’t fond of being challenged! It is important to do our best this year to go with the flow and make the most of whatever we are given to work with, even if it doesn’t look like much. This year has a very different feel to it than the last, as yin is much softer in nature and Yin Metal allows us to turn something very hard and unyielding into a thing of beauty. Indeed, Yin Metal is known to be a precious jewel which is very reflective, so possibly this is a year to plough the fields of our inner landscape and word hard on refining the beautiful jewel within our heart. The Ox year could be a time of slow, steady progress, when we are encouraged to turn inward to connect with our intuition and cultivate a feeling of gratitude and abundance that has nothing to do with the outer world.
 
The first couple of weeks of the Ox year could certainly be interesting, with this square between Saturn and Uranus building in energy. There certainly is a lot of Aquarius energy around during this Moon, including Pallas Athena sitting right next to the Sun and Moon! Pallas Athena is very clever indeed, being the goddess of wisdom, strategy, genius and invention who is well known for her creative intelligence. Her skills and powers are being directed towards all things Aquarius at the moment, which could involve coming up with ingenious solutions to difficult problems, organising strategic rebellions and uprisings, envisioning a new and different future and defending our rights and liberties in a unique and clever way. Uranus, being the ruler of all of this Aquarius energy, is certainly in a strong position right now. Sometimes things have to break down in order for us to break through to the other side.
 
Much love

LEO FULL MOON - 28 January 2021

1/25/2021

1 Comment

 
Picture
Exact at 7.16pm UK time
 
There is a lot going on during this Moon, not to mention that we have a lot of electrical Aquarian energy at the moment, which can make things quite unpredictable and exciting! Aquarius season is in full swing now, which could bring out our inner rebel and help us to question the status quo. Aquarius represents the people and is not afraid to challenge authority and break the rules, especially if the rules don’t make sense or are harmful to humanity. Wherever Aquarius is found in our charts we tend not to conform to societal standards and like to do things our own way! Aquarius likes to form groups with like-minded folk, but more often than not feels somewhat detached, on the outside looking in. However, this can be quite helpful, as it gives objectivity and the capacity to see things from the bird’s-eye perspective. Aquarius energy is eccentric, quirky, rebellious, unconventional and wilful and these qualities could be more apparent during this Full Moon and in the coming weeks.  
 
The Full Moon in Leo invites us to find our joy. This is a very playful, spontaneous, expressive,  creative sign that is very much ruled by the heart. While Aquarius can tend to stand on the outskirts of society looking in, Leo is a full participant; the star of the show that isn’t afraid to shine! Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, of course. In a world that seems to be lacking in joy and fun right now, this Moon encourages us to participate in activities that bring us joy and pleasure and get our creative juices flowing. We are invited to bring our inner child out to play and find a way to express whatever is in our hearts, whether it be joy, sorrow, rage, resentment, gratitude, love, boredom, frustration, loneliness, bliss, excitement….let it all out!
 
Aquarius is the part of ourselves that has visions of a better future, while our Leo creativity helps us to actually turn the visions into reality. The artists and creative types are often the non-conformist, innovative visionaries who help to make the world more beautiful and a better place to live, but are often found on the outskirts of society. Similarly, their ideas and innovations can sometimes be so “out there” and ahead of their time that people find it hard to accept them.
 
For this Moon, we may simply want to contemplate how to bring some Leo fun, creativity and self-expression into our lives, whether it be through dancing, singing, playing music, painting or simply playing games. Whatever we can do to bring some joy into the picture and a sense of gratitude and childlike wonder! While Aquarius represents technology, which both connects us and keeps us very separate, Leo could be seen as the master of the board game, which encourages full participation and gives us a much needed break from technology. It is no surprise that board games such as the jigsaw have made such a comeback in recent times.
 
Indeed, with Saturn also in Aquarius for the next two and a half years,we are getting a heavy dose of the reality of the technological age we are living in. We are seeing just how easy it is for those in authority to use technology as a form of control and manipulation if they so choose. With so much being online now, we are forced into a virtual reality that is hard on us in every way - physically, emotionally and spiritually. While Aquarius likes to congregate in like-minded groups, Saturnian authority is currently suppressing and limiting this capacity, as people are prevented from seeing friends, gathering in groups or protesting their rights, and are progressively losing more and more of the freedom and liberty that Aquarius values so much. It is so hard to see what the future holds, as the current reality squashes our Aquarian hopes and dreams, making it hard to find anything to look forward to. Indeed, it is hard to envision what the world will look like six months from now, let alone make any plans!
 
We are currently moving towards the first of three squares between Saturn and Uranus, and Uranus happens to be the ruler of Aquarius. The first face off between these two planets is exact on 18 February and is building in energy now. It will be interesting to see what happens when Saturn, the planet that represents authority and the way we structure our reality, comes up against the Uranus, the planet of revolution, wake up calls and sudden change. These are two very different characters; the old versus the new, tradition versus innovation, authoritarian control versus revolutionary freedom, reality versus new vision! We may find that what we thought to be real is severely challenged and even blown apart, forcing us to see things as they really are rather than how we have been conditioned and programmed to see them.
 
This combination certainly could bring the continuation of the dismantling of societal structures, combined with the work that Pluto has been doing since 2008, exposing the rot in the power structures.  It brings the potential for the current reality to be somehow broken down so that we can  break through to the other side, whatever that looks like! The energy of Uranus brings sudden shocks and surprises that could somehow wake us up to reality and could also bring about more uprisings against those in authority. We may also find that more and more people seek to free themselves from the control that technology has over them, kicking back against the technocracy.   
       
Mars, Uranus and Black Moon Lilith are all sitting together in Taurus, a powerful trio indeed, that is very present indeed during this Moon, forming a challenging square to the Sun, Moon, Saturn and Jupiter. Mars has moved past Uranus in the past week, bringing some very erratic, unsettled energy, and is now moving onto Black Moon Lilith, exact on 29 January. What might happen when the warrior planet comes into contact with the enraged feminine energy of LIlith? We may come across some very intense, turbulent emotions such as rage, jealousy, passion and uncontrollable anger. BML has no respect for authority and doesn’t like to be told what to do and neither do Mars or Uranus, so this trio could cause some trouble! Emotions could certainly be riding high during this passionate Moon and we may be forced to confront the darker side of our natures, which ultimately could be quite empowering.
 
Speaking of passion, Pluto and Venus are joining forces in Capricorn on this Full Moon, which could also bring some powerful emotions to the surface within the realm of our relationships. This could bring the truth of the matter out into the open, forcing us to admit our vulnerabilities and face the darker aspects of ourselves. Issues around trust, power/powerlessness, obsession, jealousy, manipulation, secrecy and agendas could come up to be examined. Any subconscious compulsions, such as a need for control, could rear their head in our more intimate relationships and it could be more easy to see through people and recognise their subconscious motivations. This is a powerful combination that could bring greater transparency within our relationships and the financial world and could also force some material out into the open that might have hitherto been swept under the carpet! Anyone with personal planets close to 25° of a sign, particularly the cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, will feel this the most.  
 
Mercury is getting ready to turn retrograde in Aquarius on 31 January, which means that he could be in Trickster mode in the next few days! The week when Mercury goes retrograde can tend to bring miscommunications, misunderstandings, confusion, technology acting strangely, letters and emails going astray, delays in travel and crossed wires, so it is important to be aware of this and to have a sense of humour about the whole thing! Mercury retrograde gives us an opportunity to look back over things and reflect, review, reveal, re-do, repair, repeat and see what we would do differently with a little retrospective understanding.
 
The Aquarius influence invites us to think outside of the box and look at things from an entirely different perspective. Indeed, we might even want to overhaul any tired and outworn routines and breathe some fresh air into our lives! We may receive information that shocks us or wakes us up, forcing us to see things very differently to the way we have been conditioned to perceive them. People may pop up from our past who have messages for us, with whom we have unfinished business.
 
The Sabian symbol for this Moon feels very appropriate for the Leo/Aquarius axis and also brings a bit of hope: 10° Leo “Early morning dew sparkles as sunlight floods the field”, which Dane Rudyar describes as “The exalted feeling that rises within the soul of the individual who has successfully passed through the long night which has tested his/her strength and his/her faith. The cold air of night having precipitated upon the field of man’s consciousness the moisture of his deepest feelings, this widely spread dew is blessed with the light of significance by the rising sun of the new day. Even tears can be transformed into jewels in the light of victory over night and sorrow. The would-be reformer has to meet many emotional problems as he begins his work of creation. Creation means transformation; the reformer is actually a transformer if he is truly a creative and inspired individual open to the spirit that “makes everything new.” The building of a new society, and of one’s renewed personality as well, is just as much a process of artistic creation as the making of a delicate glass vase or a symphony. The Keyword is TRANSFIGURATION.”  Bring on the new day!
 
This surely  is a very creative, passionate Moon and an ideal opportunity to let our hair down and express ourselves in whatever way feels necessary or appropriate. Jupiter in Aquarius is a very big player, sitting right next to the Aquarius Sun and opposing the Moon, which brings an expansive, hopeful quality to the whole affair. Emotions could be very big and very dramatic with Jupiter involved, but there is also a sense of optimism and Jupiterian jolliness and joviality which could be quite helpful. Jupiter in Aquarius encourages us to keep our minds open to alternatives and to be more tolerant of one another, even if we do have different beliefs. It reminds us to have a sense of humour and look at the bigger picture rather than getting bogged down in the petty details. Meanwhile the Leo Moon invites us to get creative and do whatever we can to bring a bit of joy into our lives. Leo knows all too well that we are the master of our destiny, the director of our play and have the capacity to creatively actualise our full potential and the life we want to live. Aquarius reminds us that it is all a question of perspective. What reality do we want to live in?

CAPRICORN NEW MOON - 13 January 2021

1/11/2021

1 Comment

 
Picture
Exact at 5am UK time
 
This is the first New Moon of this year and involves a high degree of planetary tension, instability and excitement! We have the potential to set some powerful intentions for both ourselves and the world we live in, leaving whatever isn’t serving us behind in the dark of the Moon and contemplating what we wish for as the Moon starts its new phase. Capricorn is very good at the art of self-reflection and can help us to be realistic about our intentions, but not only that, it gives us the discipline and resolution to steadily work towards our goals.This is especially important at the moment, given that we are living in such an uncertain, unstable times, watching the Capricornian structures crumble around us. In an ideal world, what would we like to take their place? What kind of world to we want to live in moving forward? How can we help make that happen? How might we need to grow up, step up and take more responsibility, becoming more accountable for ourselves and our future?
 
The Sun and Moon are sitting right next to Pluto, the planet of power, soul and transformation, so this particular New Moon could pack a serious punch as it has more of an impact on our soul growth and evolution, both personally and collectively. Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 and will be there until 2023, slowly but surely exposing the rot and flaws within both our personal and societal structures. Pluto is the God of the underworld, who is not afraid to confront the darker aspects of life and dig out anything that might be corrupt, unhealthy, outworn or antiquated. Pluto is also the agent of cataclysmic change and transformation; the planet of death and rebirth that slowly but surely destroys anything that is no longer working so that something healthier and better for us can rise up out of the ashes. This New Moon could help us to peer into the shadows and really confront whatever we find there, even if it’s not pretty, so that we can transmute it. It may be hard to find anywhere to hide!
 
Eris, the goddess of chaos, strife and discord, is forming a challenging square aspect to the Sun, Moon and Pluto, and is incredibly strong right now because she is stationary, about to turn direct. This energy calls for us to wake up and open our eyes to what we don’t want to see, to take our power back, to take action and set a ball in motion for change and transformation. Often Eris’s energy can spark unrest and can cause things to quickly unravel, almost spiraling out of control. She is known for things going “viral”. She is a powerful force for those who are outcast or misunderstood by the mainstream of society, calling them to stand up and be counted. She is involved in a long standing battle with Pluto over the past year or so, challenging the powers that be to be more accountable and transparent, and is now directly impacting this New Moon.
 
Mars has finally left Aries on 6 January and is now in Taurus, meaning that the warrior planet has moved from fire to earth, which could be more stable and less impulsive. However, Mars is now moving towards a conjunction with Uranus, the Great Awakener and Revolutionary, who tends to bring sudden events that shock and surprise us into change and force a change of perspective. Mars and Uranus together is a volatile combination and can bring rebellious and revolutionary acts, unrest, the courage to question the status quo and consensus reality, sudden outbursts of violence or anger and, especially in Taurus, volcanoes and earthquakes. In fact, we could experience volcanic eruptions in our own lives, especially if we have personal planets or angles around 6° of a sign, particularly the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. The energy of this conjunction will be present all month, but will at its strongest on 20 January. We can expect some shock and surprises while these two characters join forces! Neither like being told what to do by those in authority!
 
Just to add to the story, Mars and Uranus are forming a challenging square aspect to Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury in Aquarius during this Moon! There has recently been a shift from the controlled, authoritarian, oppressive and repressive energy of Capricorn to the rebellious, humanitarian, freedom loving Aquarius, which will now be accentuated and magnified by the square from Uranus, being the ruler of Aquarius. Especially strong during this Moon is the square to Jupiter and Mercury, which brings the potential for our minds to be blown and our more rigid, conditioned and programmed beliefs to be radically changed and challenged. It is quite possible that people will be more assertive and rebellious and outspoken during this Moon, and there could be more uprisings demanding the truth to be revealed and for freedom in every sense of the word. The Uranus Jupiter square will be exact on 18 January.  
 
Capricorn is the sign of government and authority, which represents the conditioning we have received from our parents and society. Aquarius is a sign that represents the people and questions the rules and regulations, seeking tolerance, freedom, equality and community spirit. With Saturn and Jupiter now in Aquarius, we are called to envision a better future for ourselves and the world. Saturn, the ruler of this New Moon, asks us to be realistic about this vision so that it actually has a chance of working in the real world. We are also invited to step up and become truly accountable for whatever we want to bring in, both for ourselves and for the community we live in. How can we make a difference, in concrete terms, on the ground level? What little things can we do to help create the world we would like to live in?
 
There is another side to Saturn in Aquarius, of course, that is being challenged by this rebellious, revolutionary Mars Uranus combination. Saturn can make us all too aware of the reality of living in this technological age, in terms of how it isolates us and affects our health, physically, spiritually and mentally, and how it can be used as a form of control and suppression in the form of a technocracy. Similarly, Saturn can limit and suppress any Aquarian tendencies such as the right to protest or question the status quo, the capacity to gather in groups, our civil rights and liberties and our sense of freedom. This is the shadowy side of Saturn in Aquarius.
 
Mars and Uranus will be challenging this energy in the coming weeks, as Uranus and Saturn build up to the first of three squares this year which will peak on 17 February. This could bring about the dismantling of the structures of our lives and could radically challenge the way we perceive reality. However, this is a necessary process that we are going through, as sometimes things have to break down in order for us to break through to the other side! This is Uranus’s job, to wake us up and break down our conditioning and programming so that we are able to open up to different possibilities and can see life from a different perspective. Uranus is the jolt that we need sometimes to break us out of old patterns and habits that just don’t work anymore. It is the epiphany, sudden insight or realisation that wakes us up and creates necessary change. It is the shock that makes us realise that what we thought was real is nothing but an illusion.
 
Speaking of illusion, Neptune square the Nodes is so strong right now, bringing the possibility that all is not as it seems! It is nigh on impossible to know what the truth is, so we are all encouraged to keep an open mind. Neptune is the king of glamour, theatre, illusion, delusion, spells, overwhelm, enchantments and trances, all of which we could be susceptible to right now. The Gemini North Node urges us to use our common sense, while Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, encourages us to question what we are being told and to think outside the box. This is not a time to take things at face value, but rather we are being asked to listen to our intuitive hunches and then research to find the facts to back up this inner knowing. Deep down, we all know the truth. We just need to remember how to listen to our bodies and recognise what our gut is telling us.
 
Neptune, in its higher vibration, is also asking us to turn inwards, to shut out the noise of information, opinions and beliefs and to breathe, meditate, do yoga or Tai Chi, walk in nature, dance, make art; anything that brings a sense of inner peace and stillness. It asks us to be open and willing to sacrifice something for the greater good and to speak up where we need to. It reminds up to be compassionate, kind and tolerant of one another’s beliefs and differences. Above all, we are reminded to have faith and trust that we are being guided and that this is simply a necessary process that we have to go through, both personally and collectively. Neptune encourages us to keep dropping into our heart so that we are less in our heads, with all their worry, over analysis and anxiety..
 
The Sabian symbol for this New Moon reflects the message of Neptune, at 24 °Capricorn: “A woman entering a convent”, which Dane Rudyar describes as” Total commitment to a transcendent goal. A convent is a place made available by a community which believes in the possibility of reaching a world-transcending state of consciousness. It is made available to individuals who may be variously motivated. To some it is an escape from the intolerable pressures of family and society; to others it represents the possibility of pursuing in peace a spiritual ideal to which the whole being aspires and is totally dedicated”.
 
This is certainly an interesting symbol, considering the current situation we find ourselves in! It points to the need for inner work, in seclusion, away from the usual pressures of society. This is a good time for all things Neptune, and while it may be a bit lonely at times it also brings spiritual gifts and helps us to turn inward and connect to our divinity.
 
It is interesting that the Sun and Moon are also incredibly close to the same degree of Capricorn that the Pluto/Saturn conjunction occurred in last January, inviting us to reflect on where we are now and what we know know compared to back then. It’s been quite a process! It is almost literally a year since that powerful and fateful conjunction that kick-started a whole process, so it is helpful to recognise and contemplate how we have changed and what we have learned, and also what we are experiencing now that has a resonance with that time.
 
The difference between now and last year, however, is that we have Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius instead of Capricorn, which is far less conformist and more prone to questioning the status quo. It also brings a sense of looking forward and envisioning a better future rather than staying stuck with traditional, antiquated structures and systems that are no longer valid or useful. Aquarius is a very progressive sign, although it does bring a certain amount of instability and unrest. There is a lot of radical, volatile, revolutionary energy around at the moment, despite this being an earth sign Moon! However, as the Sabian symbol and Neptune indicate, this Capricorn Moon does encourage us to look within and find the necessary discipline and commitment to apply ourselves to our inner, spiritual journey. As the storm rages outside, we are invited to find our centre, that point of stillness that makes it much harder for us to be knocked off kilter or lose our way.
 
Much love

ASTRO UPDATE 5 January 2021

1/5/2021

Picture
The Moon has just moved from humble, self-critical, service-oriented Virgo into peace-loving, relationship-oriented Libra, a sign that seeks balance but can tend to veer to extremes. We may find our emotions swinging from one end of the spectrum to the other in the next couple of days, so our task is to do our best to find some balance and equilibrium. Libra helps us to understand the needs of others and put them first, so it is important to listen to one another and keep an eye on our loved ones. That being said, self-care is also imperative right now!

Mercury and Pluto are sitting right next to each other today, which could bring dark or obsessive thoughts and a desire to really probe beneath the surface to find out what is lurking there. In a literal sense, this combination can bring messages from those in power that have a big impact on us and bring up intense emotions from our subconscious. This conjunction was exact around midnight UK time, so it was at its strongest last night.

Mars is in the very last degree of Aries, having been there for months now. This could bring up intense anger and a desire to act, possibly without regard for any repercussions. Mars will move into Taurus around midnight UK time tomorrow, so the next couple of days could be interesting, especially considering what is occurring on the world stage at the moment. Anger, rage, courageous and impulsive acts, aggression, strong armed tactics and heated exchanges are all possible with the warrior planet in the very last degree of its own sign!

Neptune is also exactly square the Nodes tomorrow, the energy having been building for month now. This has been making it so very hard to know the truth, as it is shrouded and veiled, causing great confusion, overwhelm, disillusionment and loss of meaning. The Gemini North Node is urging us to let go of any beliefs that have no basis in reality and to use our common sense. However, there is so much that doesn’t make sense right now! Neptune brings the potential for spells or enchantments that put us in a trance somehow, so that we lose the capacity for reason, logic, rational thought and common sense; all the Gemini superpowers. Neptune in its lower vibration is the king of fantasy, smoke and mirrors, illusion, manipulation, gaslighting, propaganda and subliminal messages, so this could all be clouding our thinking and confusing us right now.

The higher vibration of Neptune, however, invites us to take this time to turn inwards and connect to spirit and really learn to trust our internal guidance system. We all know the truth, deep inside of us, but we may have forgotten how to listen to our body's subtle cues. Neptune is also the planet of sacrifice, which could mean that we are encouraged to sacrifice something personal for the sake of the greater good. We may need to speak up and voice our beliefs even though others may not be willing to hear. However, the truth is ultimately more important than our personal comfort, convenience or popularity. Neptune also calls for us to treat one another with compassion, sensitivity and kindness, in spite of any differences of opinion we may have.

Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius are calling for us to question the status quo and to truly take responsibility for creating a better future instead of relying so heavily on Daddy government and mummy health system to make all of the decisions for us. Uranus is moving towards a square with these two planets, which could mean that our perception of reality is busted wide open and our more rigidly held beliefs severely challenged. This could be a very unsettling time, as the structures of our lives are dismantled and reality as we know it broken apart, but ultimately it has the potential to be incredibly liberating and to lift some of the heaviness, limitation and restriction that we have experienced in recent times.

Much Love

Amy

CANCER FULL MOON - 30 December 2020

12/28/2020

1 Comment

 
Picture
Exact at 3.28am UK time
 
The Moon is very much at home in Cancer, so this Full Moon could certainly help the emotions to flow freely! There is often a build-up of pressure leading up to a Full Moon, as whatever has been bubbling beneath the surface is brought up into our consciousness by the light of the Moon. This Full Moon is occurring at a particularly sensitive time of the year, between Christmas and New Year, when families are in close proximity and emotions tend to ride high anyway. This is especially so at the end of a year such as this one, when so much has happened and the future is so uncertain. Our emotions could demand release as we have no choice but to feel the feelings and allow our vulnerability to show rather than bottling it all up with silent stoicism and a “stiff upper lip”. This Moon could certainly highlight the difference between the patriarchal and the matriarchal approach, as Capricorn is the sign of the strict parent or father, while Cancer is the sign of the soft, nurturing caretaker or mother.
 
Cancer represents our family, roots, home, childhood and sense of emotional security, so the energy of this Moon highlights this area of our lives in no uncertain terms! The Moon in sensitive, emotional, nurturing Cancer is sitting directly opposite the Sun in cautious, controlled, responsible Capricorn, the sign that represents our parental and societal conditioning and programming. We are asked to find balance between the two signs rather than veering too far in one direction or the other. Do we tend to rely on others too much to help us feel emotionally secure, or do we suppress our feelings and act like we have everything under control so that we don’t seem irrational or needy? Do we have a healthy balance between our work life and family life? How have we been conditioned to act and react to life and what emotional patterns and responses did we pick up in childhood that are still playing out in our adult relationships? This is an ideal time of year and the perfect Moon to become more aware of these habits and tendencies, as they do tend to show themselves when families are together!  
 
In an ideal world we are able to harness the positive traits of both Cancer and Capricorn by taking responsibility for ourselves and our emotions in a mature and adult way (Capricorn) while also feeling able to show our vulnerability and allow those close to us into our inner landscape (Cancer). It is so easy to put walls up and push loved ones away when we are struggling emotionally, but this can feel very challenging for the person on the receiving end, as it leaves them very much in the dark. The expression “We hurt the ones we love the most” feels very pertinent to the Cancer/Capricorn polarity. One of the big lessons of this axis is to realise that while we cannot control how other people act or react towards us, we do, however, have control over how we handle and process our own emotions in response  to their behaviour. Another lesson is to recognise when to reach out for help and when it is more appropriate to take care of ourselves.
 
This Moon could really highlight the importance of the tribe and how important it is to keep an eye on each other during these uncertain and turbulent times. Cancer reminds us to nurture one another, while Capricorn encourages us to take responsibility for some kind or practice or discipline that is nourishing for ourselves. We may find ourselves contemplating where we belong and who is our tribe. Sometimes our tribe includes our birth family and sometimes it is our soul family that we have gathered along the way; the people who really understand us and vice versa.
 
Chiron the Wounded Healer is forming a challenging square aspect to the Sun and Moon, which has been strong since 25 December.This could trigger some powerful emotions and also bring up our conditioning and patterns so that we can see them more clearly and even heal them. Chiron is in Aries right now, a sign that is not exactly known for its gentle healing manner, as it prefers the more direct,  honest and “tough love” approach! The potential for having old wounds and insecurities poked and prodded is rife during this Moon, but it could be so helpful as it gets the cards out onto the table and helps us to bring old resentment and grievances out into the open for healing. It is important to remember, of course, that Chiron also represents matters around health, which is of course triggering people in different ways right now, depending on our family conditioning and our attitude to health and death.
 
Uranus, the Great Awakener, Revolutionary and Harbinger of Change, is supporting the Sun and Moon, which could help us to bring in new habits and patterns, inviting us to step out of character and respond in a different way, rather than acting and reacting from our old conditioning. We may come up with new ways to respond to old problems, which could bring a much needed breath of fresh air to our family and relationship dynamics. So much is changing right now, so we are invited to be the change we seek. Uranus in Taurus has been bringing about a radical change in values which is so apparent at the end of this challenging year. We are invited to contemplate what really holds meaning in our lives which, when it comes down to it, is nothing to do with what we own and everything to do with family, friendship, a sense of emotional security and a feeling of belonging.
 
Venus, the ruler of Uranus in Taurus, is in a very prominent position for this Moon, as it is sitting right on top of the Sagittarius South Node. This could make us very aware of any old, unhealthy patterns and habits of relating, especially around communication. The Nodes are calling us to find ways of expressing our beliefs to one another in ways that are palatable, rather than trying to shove them down one another’s throats. While the Sagittarius South Node gives us our intuitive hunches and a strong sense of what is true and what is not, the Gemini North Node invites us to research and back up this inner knowing with facts and data. With Neptune square the Nodes getting stronger and stronger, it is more and more apparent that the truth is somehow veiled, shrouded and very illusive, which is causing great confusion, loss of meaning and disillusionment. As such, we are encouraged to accept that opinions are just that, opinions, and that nobody exactly knows what the truth is.
 
The Sabian symbol for Venus and the South Node is interesting and poignant, at 19° Sagittarius: “Pelicans menaced by the behaviour and refuse of men seek safer areas for bringing up their young”, which Dane Rudyar describes as “The need for people concerned with the future to discover a new way of living and more wholesome surroundings. The evident reason for using “pelicans” at this stage of the cyclic process is that tradition tells us that these birds are so concerned with their young that thy give their own blood and flesh to feed their progeny. Whether this is fact or symbol, the meaning of this picture refers to a situation that lately has acquired great urgency. Our technological society is polluting not only our global environment, but the mind and feeling-responses of new generations as well. The search for a new way of life is seen by many people to be imperative. In this symbol we are told that the race’s SURVIVAL has become a matter of extreme importance. Whole animal species may be destroyed by our civilisation; mankind itself is in danger. Going to distant planets is hardly the answer. A generation may have to sacrifice itself for the sake of its descendants”.
 
Neptune, the planet of sacrifice, is very much highlighted right now, with its growing square to the Nodes. The lower vibration of Neptune brings confusion, smoke screens, propaganda, illusions appearing real, delusion, deception, escapism, entertainment, drug and alcohol abuse, burying our heads in the sand, fogginess, fantasy, trance, “glamour”, enchantment, spells and magic. Indeed, there is the potential for some kind of “spell” being cast that puts one in a trance, both personally or collectively, through whatever means are available. Neptune is the master of illusion, potions and the subliminal message.
 
However, the higher vibration of Neptune encourages us to turn within for the answers we seek. In our seclusion we are invited to develop a more tangible connection to Spirit and the Divine so that we can cultivate a greater sense of faith, hope and trust in our own internal guidance system. We are encouraged to listen to the subtle cues and messages that our bodies give us when we are given information to process, and to pay attention to our dreams. We all intuitively know the truth; it’s just a case of developing greater trust in this inner knowing. We are invited to pray for those we love, for the world we live in and for the world our children will inherit. Neptune shows us the true meaning of unconditional love, devotion, acceptance, compassion, empathy, forgiveness and unity. Neptune sometimes asks us to sacrifice something on a personal level for the sake of an ideal and for the higher good of all. Sometimes this is a big sacrifice, while sometimes it is a minor inconvenience that still helps to make a difference in terms of the bigger picture. Some things are more important than our short term comfort and happiness..
 
In the meantime, Jupiter and Saturn are now officially in Aquarius, the sign that represents the people, brother/sisterhood, equality, freedom and helps us to liberate ourselves from societal and parental programming and conditioning. Instead of blindly accepting all we are told by those in authority, we are encouraged to question the status quo, think for ourselves and take responsibility for the kind of world we want to live in. This is a forward thinking, progressive sign that invites us to march to the beat of our own drum rather than following the herd. We may need to go through some kind of breakdown of our beliefs, as we are forced to question what we have hitherto accepted to be the “truth”, but this is a necessary process for growth. Sometimes breakdown is necessary in order to bring about breakthrough!
 
The Sabian symbol for the Full Moon feels appropriate in the light of this recent shift of energy, at 9° Cancer: ”A small, naked girl bends over a pond trying to catch a fish”, which Rudyar describes as ”The first naïve quest for knowledge and for an ever-elusive understanding of life. The “small, naked girl” symbolises the innocent and spontaneous mind, as yet unclothed in cultural patterns and unrestrained by don’t’s, trying to satisfy its curiosity about what seems mysterious and fleeting. In a sense the “pond” is the infant’s mind with a very limited scope of consciousness, yet eagerly reaching out to catch the swift and elusive first realisations of the meaning of life. We are confronted with the nascent curiosity about knowledge, a curiosity which makes the little mind reach out in spontaneity, rather than merely imitate the elders. Whenever a person is confronted with this symbol he or she should realise that there is much value indeed in simply reaching out with a pure and unconditioned mind to the most elementary experiences which natural life offers to us. The key here is PURITY IN UNDERSTANDING”.
 
This symbol brings a sense of attitudes changing and of us being asked to look at the current situation with fresh eyes and an open, curious, unbiased mind. This Moon certainly does feel powerful, emotional and profoundly healing! It will be especially potent for anyone with personal planets or angles around 8° of the Cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn  There is no doubt that we are facing some challenges with Chiron square the Sun and Moon, although it is up to us how we respond to it all. Neptune square the Nodes is also bringing the potential for chaos and confusion, but it does offer us the opportunity to rise above it all, dream a new reality into being and remember to live in the here and now rather than living in the past or worrying about the future. The only thing we have absolute control over is how we respond and react in the present moment to whatever situation or person is put in front of us. We are encouraged to act with integrity, maturity, kindness, sensitivity and compassion in that moment, as we never know what the person in front of us is going through. In the words of Charles Kingsley: “Do as you would be done by”.

SOLSTICE / SATURN JUPITER CONJUNCTION - 21 December 2020

12/21/2020

1 Comment

 
Picture
Today is a very special Winter Solstice/Summer Solstice that the Uluru tribe in Australia have been waiting for for a very long time, as it also involves a rare conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius. Saturn rules the limits of our reality, while Jupiter rules our beliefs, and in Aquarius we are invited to release limiting beliefs and expand the limits of our reality. Aquarius helps us to undo our programming and conditioning so that we can be our true unique selves. Sometimes our more conditioned beliefs about ourselves and life need to be broken down so that we are free to truly be the light that we are.

Saturn and Jupiter are closer in the night sky than they have been for about 800 years, forming a conjunction that will resemble the Star of Bethlehem that the wise men would have seen so long ago. They are also starting a two hundred year cycle in air signs. It is a very important moment energetically, as it anchors in the Age of Aquarius, a process that began with the 2012 Solstice. Although as always with these alignments, the effects probably won't be felt in an obvious "hit you over the head" way, but will be more subtle and gradual.. Our prayers and meditations are extremely important today, both at 10.02am UK time, the exact time of the Solstice, and at 4.30pm UK time, when the conjunction is exact.

We are urged to help bring in the light and set positive, heartfelt intentions for the world we live in. Never has this been more important than now! The Uluru tribe encourages us to focus on the Earth herself, as this is the primary focus of their ritual. The Moon is in sensitive, compassionate Pisces today, which is rather lovely, as this is the last sign of the zodiac and represents unconditional love and reminds us that ultimately we are all one. It also helps us to connect to spirit and open us to the subtle energies, which is also rather beautiful!

Happy Solstice!

Much Love

SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON/TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE - 14 December 2020

12/11/2020

1 Comment

 
Picture

SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON/TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE - Monday 14 December, exact at 4.16pm UK time.

This is an incredibly powerful lunation as it involves a total Solar Eclipse, which is a much more potent New Moon than usual! Eclipses bring a consciousness shift, energetic downloads, change, crisis and events that can shift our reality. They help us to change patterns and let go of the old so that we can usher in the new. Whereas a New Moon usually sets a ball in motion that has an impact on the month ahead, the effects of a Solar Eclipse will be felt for the coming six months, until the next set of Eclipses. It might be helpful to look back to the powerful Solar Eclipse we experienced on the Solstice on 21 June 2020 and contemplate what was going on for us then and where we are with that now. Similarly, there will be an energetic link between this New Moon/Eclipse and the New Moon/Eclipse in the same degree of Sagittarius on 14 December 2001. What was going on for us at that time that may be repeating or passing into the next phase now? This is a powerfully potent time when we have the potential for real shift and change. It is the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.

Wherever we find the 24th degree of Sagittarius in our chart is where we will personally experience the energy of this Eclipse. Sagittarius is the seeker of the truth, a beacon of higher wisdom that genuinely wants to understand why we are here and what it is all about. This is the part of ourselves that has the faith that ultimately we are heading in the right direction even when things look incredibly dire. Sagittarius helps us to see the bigger picture and to have a sense of humour about the absurdity of life! It helps us to not take ourselves too seriously and to look forward and upwards rather than dwelling on the past. This is a sign that has high morals and believes in natural law which is universal, grounded in nature and based on higher principles and truth rather than man made law, which is a construct of the mind that relies on dogma and fear of punishment, and demands compliance.

Mercury is very close indeed to the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius, which could make this a very busy time indeed, with a lot of chatter, sharing of information and mental activity. It is quite possible that there will be a lot of debates and many different preachers on the pulpit espousing their version of the truth.There is also the potential for the truth to be revealed as more information comes out into the light. Mars is also in on the act, supporting the Sun, Moon and Mercury. This can help us to find our inner warrior, giving us the courage to face the truth and also to speak up when needed. Sagittarius rules the judicial system, so the lawyers could be working extra hard to bring truth and justice to the fore. Sagittarius is a very optimistic sign that truly believes that everything that happens has something to teach us if we are open and willing to see. It also invites us to listen to our intuition, to trust our gut and to speak our truth, even if it is not popular or makes others uncomfortable.

The Nodes of the Moon are heavily involved with this lunation, as they always are during an Eclipse, which means that this Moon could have a strong impact on our destiny, both personally and collectively. The Sun, Moon and Mercury are sitting right next to the South Node of the Moon in Sagittarius, with Neptune square them all. Issues around truth and lies are rife right now, leaving people very confused and unsure about what to believe. Neptune, in its lower vibration, is very adept at the art of deception, being the master of smoke and mirrors, propaganda and illusion. In its higher vibration it encourages us to turn inward to find the truth rather than relying on external sources to tell us what to believe. It reminds us that we are all connected, and what happens to one happens to all. It encourages us to find the courage to speak out and share our version of the truth, even if we have to sacrifice something in order to do so. Sometimes in life we are called to make some kind of personal sacrifice for the sake of humanity and the greater good. This could be one of those times.

Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, is in the very last couple of degrees of Capricorn right now, getting ready to go into Aquarius on 19 December. Saturn is also in the last degree of Capricorn and will move into Aquarius on 17 December. This has the potential to bring quite a big energetic shift, as Capricorn and Aquarius are very different signs indeed! As these two move through the last degree of Capricorn we could experience the shadow side of Capricorn, in the form of fear based control, oppression, suppression, censorship, programming and conditioning, guilt, karma coming back to bite us, grief, depression, feelings of futility, authoritarian rules and regulations, judgement and intolerance. What fun! It may feel like we are in a very dark, narrow birth canal, being squeezed very tightly, so thank goodness we have the philosophical Sagittarius energy to help us to keep an eye on the bigger picture and keep the faith! Bear in mind, however, that Sagittarius’s ruler is in Capricorn, a more cautious, realistic and sober influence.

However, the shifting of the two social planets into Aquarius could bring some relief, as this is the sign of liberation, non-conformity, humanitarianism, brotherhood/sisterhood, rebellion, questioning the status quo and visions of a better future based on liberty and equality. All for one and one for all! While Capricorn makes the rules and regulations, using them as a means of control and expecting us to follow them, Aquarius questions and breaks the rules, especially if they no longer make sense or do us harm. While Capricorn represents government, authority and the conditioning that we have received by our parents and society, Aquarius is for the people and liberates us from any programming that is keeping us limited or bound or preventing us from being our true, authentic self. This is the sign that kicks back against consensus reality and can see beyond the mainstream narrative. It will be interesting to see what shifts and changes once Jupiter, the planet of beliefs, moves over into this revolutionary sign. It has the potential to bring greater tolerance of one another’s differences, less judgement, the capacity to see an alternative perspective and liberation from fear-based beliefs, indoctrination and programming.

Saturn and Jupiter will be forming an exact conjunction in the very first degree of Aquarius on 21 December, the Solstice, which is a powerful combination as the first degree of a sign is very potent indeed. These two planets join forces once every 20 years or so, and in Aquarius they have the potential to kick start a new phase of development, changing the structure of our lives, consciousness and beliefs and potentially helping us to start shifting into a new way of perceiving the world we live in. Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, is currently in Taurus and has been radically changing our values in recent times, so we are primed and ready to embrace a new world and let go of the old, outworn structures that are dead in the water. It is time to raise the vibration from fear to love.

​Next year Saturn and Uranus will be squaring off against each other, slowly but surely continuing the process of dismantling the structures of our lives and consciousness, so this conjunction could somehow be preparing us for that. Saturn represents our structure of reality, while Jupiter represents our belief system, and in Aquarius we may need to go through some kind of breaking down of the way we perceive reality in order to move onto the next phase of our evolution and the creation of a new world. Possibly this Solstice will bring some kind of internal shift and raising of our vibration that is needed to precede the external changes that are to follow. It is said that when Jupiter and Saturn align that they will create a bright light in the night sky, similar to the Star of Bethlehem that some astronomers suggest the wise men may have seen in the biblical account of the birth of Jesus. It could, some say, be the much needed light at the end of a very long tunnel.

Meanwhile Mars in Aries is also building up to its final square with Pluto in Capricorn, which will be exact on 23 December and very strong indeed on the Solstice. This has the potential to bring up rage and the use of force either by or towards the power structures. Mars, the warrior planet, is joining forces with Eris, the goddess of strife, chaos and discord, at 23 degrees Aries. Eris is a powerful force who forces us to open our eyes and see things as they really are and to take our power back. She is an agent of evolutionary change and the goddess of chaos, who can push us to take radical action and start off a process that has the capacity to take on a life of its own.

Eris is known for the fast spread of information , ideas and hype, and is responsible for things going viral and somehow unraveling. On 11 of December this strong, radical feminine force is exactly square Pluto in Capricorn, which is in the process of slowly but surely detoxifying our societal power structures and exposing the rot, making them more transparent. As such, it will be very interesting to see what happens as Mars joins forces with Eris over the next week or so! Mars in Aries is very brave, head strong, assertive and even aggressive, so what might happen as this forceful energy combines with the goddess of strife, discord and chaos? What might be revealed? What uncomfortable material might we have to face? What might we be forced to see that we would rather remain blind to?

Combine this with a conjunction between Uranus, the Great Awakener and Black Moon Lilith, the Dark Goddess, which we will be exact on 22 December and we have a recipe for radical change and people standing up and saying “Enough is enough!” BML is not fond of being told what to do and will not abide being subordinated, while Uranus is the planet of revolution, awakening and rebellion. This combination could bring wake up calls,  sudden events and shocks that could bring some dark material out into the light and force some turbulent feelings to rise up in us. It has the potential for uprisings and the desire to break free of restrictions or anything that makes us feel bound, limited or put down. There is a lot of radical feminine energy around for this Solstice, that’s for sure! We may be forced to confront our own shadows and wake up to some darker elements of reality that we may usually prefer not to acknowledge. One of BML’s greatest gifts is self-empowerment, but this only comes from really owning the darker aspects of ourselves rather than pushing them away and pretending they don’t exist. Possibly we are being asked to own the darkness before we can walk into the light.

The Sabian symbol for this conjunction between Black Moon Lilith and Uranus is very interesting indeed and feels incredibly appropriate, so here it is, in its entirety: Taurus 7°” The woman of Samaria at the ancestral well”, which Dane Rudyar describes as: “The meeting of the traditional past and of the creative spirit pointing to the future. The symbol refers to a most important, but usually narrowly interpreted (or interpreted away!) episode of the Christ mythos. Early in his ministry, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at an ancestral well. This woman belongs to a tribe despised by the Jews; moreover, she is unmarried and therefore on the fringe of even her own society. It is to just that kind of woman that Jesus reveals that he is the Messiah: “I am He,” a revelation that he apparently will not bestow even upon his disciples, at least not in words. (Words in occultism are the creative factor).

What does this mean? Jesus, as the Avatar incorporating the Christ-Impulse, came to replace the old tribal order with a new order based on universal Love. It is not to representatives of, or even to men still attached to, the old order that Jesus could reveal his spiritual, evolutionary and society-transforming status; they had instead to reach a point where they could discover his avatar-ship – as did Peter just before the Transfiguration scene. But to the woman of Samaria – who, in her openness to love’s urgings. had already repudiated any narrow subservience to the old order – Jesus could reveal his function. The highest meets the lowest when this lowest is free from traditional bonds and open to love. The creative future descends first to that which has become chaos. An old order is never open to a new Revelation until it has accepted disorder in the name of that Power which subsumes all forms of order, i.e. Love”. Rudyar finishes by saying “ A NEW QUALITY OF BEING is revealed which renders the old patterns obsolete.” Wow. What a powerful symbol that applies to both the Eclipse and the Solstice.

Which brings me to the Sabian symbol for the New Moon/Eclipse, which will have an impact on the month ahead and, indeed, the next six months: 24° Sagittarius “A bluebird perched on the gate of a cottage”, which Rudyar describes as “The reward which meets every effort at integration into a social environment, for those who remain true to their own selves. A bluebird is a well known symbol of happiness, but also it refers to what one might call a spiritually oriented mind – to which the colour blue relates, especially when a “bird” is mentioned. A cottage is normally part of a community, and the implication is that its inhabitants are well-adapted, either to the life of the community, or to their more or less isolated togetherness. This symbol suggests that the essential technique for successful living is the development of a consciousness in which peace and happiness dwell. There is also a hint that GOOD FORTUNE is going to bless your life”. Well, this is a welcome symbol indeed! We seem to be asked to cultivate feelings of peace and happiness from within, doing the inner work and remaining true to ourselves. Keep the faith!

This next couple of weeks seem to be incredibly important and bring the potential for quite a big vibrational shift to occur. It seems that we are being asked to face the darkness and own our shadows rather than projecting them out onto others, including the powers that be. As we move through the dark, narrow birth canal we are invited to do the inner work to prepare us for whatever is coming next. The world is changing and so we must become the change we want to see. We are invited to peer into the darkness while we allow in the light. “The Truth Shall Set You Free” feels like it could be a good slogan for this Sagittarius New Moon! One of Sagittarius’s greatest gifts, however, is faith. Faith that  we are held, guided and protected. Faith that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Faith that we are heading in the right direction. Faith that no matter how dark things seem, there is always a silver lining behind the cloud. Faith that ultimately the Light always wins. Faith that we are the Light. The darkest hour is just before dawn.

Much Love

GEMINI FULL MOON / PENUMBRAL LUNAR ECLIPSE - 30 November 2020

11/26/2020

Exact at 9.29am UK time.
 
Well, this Moon certainly has the potential to set a ball in motion that could help to usher in a new era! We are now in Eclipse season, a time when we experience the end of a chapter so that something new can begin. The energy of Eclipses tend to play out for the next six months, until the next set of Eclipses. They correlate with the cycle of the Nodes of the Moon, which move in 19 year cycles, so there will be an energetic link between this Eclipse and the Lunar Eclipse on 30 December 2001 in exactly the same degree of Gemini. This Moon could signify the next phase of whatever was happening for us back then, both personally and collectively. Similarly, there will be a connection between this Lunar Eclipse and the last Lunar Eclipse, on 5 July. Something that began then will be culminating now. We are now entering a very significant and potent time, as we build up to a very important astrological event occurring on the Solstice of 21 December with two very powerful Eclipses that could bring about a significant energetic shift for us all.
 
This Full Moon/Eclipse activates the Gemini/Sagittarius axis, which is where the Nodes of the Moon are currently residing, bringing up issues around truth and lies. A Gemini Full Moon always has the potential for information overload, as we are bombarded with opinions, facts, information and  news, so much so that it can become confusing and overwhelming. This is especially so this time as Neptune, the planet of oneness, fantasy, illusion and mysticism is incredibly strong right now because it is turning direct the day before the Full Moon. Neptune’s is currently squaring the Nodes, until January, making it nigh on impossible to locate the truth, and this is creating utter confusion, overwhelm, disillusionment and loss of meaning. Smoke screens, veiled information, half truths, deception and propaganda are rife right now, making it so difficult to know what is real information and what is illusion, and this could feel especially acute during this Full Moon.
 
However, what the Nodes are asking us to do is to listen to our body, trust our gut, heed our intuitive hunches and then use the power of Gemini to do some research, seek out information and back our hunches up with facts and data. Neptune, in its higher vibration, encourages us to turn inward and do the inner work, not allowing ourselves to get distracted or knocked off centre by the myriad of opinions, views and so called truths that we are being fed at the moment. This Moon will certainly ramp up all things Gemini, such as media coverage, gossip, slander and the spreading of information and disinformation, so much so that we might want to just bury our head in the sand or numb out, which are also Neptunian superpowers! However, Neptune also calls for us to quiet the internal and external noise so that we can truly hear that soft, subtle inner voice that knows and senses the truth. We may have to be prepared to sacrifice our personal comfort and security for something much bigger than us, which is the future of mankind and the planet. Gemini asks us to find a voice for this inner knowing and to stand up for what is right.
 
The Sun is in Sagittarius until 21 December, a sign that seeks the truth and represents higher wisdom, philosophy, law and justice. Mercury will also be joining the Sun in Sagittarius on the 1st of December, helping us to stand up for what is morally right, just and true. It is quite possible that we will see certain truths revealed and justice served where it is needed during this period, especially as we approach the Sagittarius New Moon on 15 December. Uranus is forming a nagging inconjunct aspect to the Sun during this Eclipse, which could provide us with sudden flashes of insight that helps us to see what is really going on versus what we are being led to believe. Uranus can bring sudden shocks, wake up calls and epiphanies that pierce through the veils of illusion and give us glimpses of the truth. Uranus breaks down our conditioning and breaks though the programming we have received from society, the media and those in power, helping us to wake up somehow and be able to perceive the truth of the matter.
 
Interestingly enough, the Sabian symbol for this Moon, at 9° Gemini, is: “A quiver filled with arrows”, about which Dane Rudyar says “The mind of man is essentially a trans-piercing power; it goes through the object toward which it is aimed. It seeks to go through and beyond the obstacles on its path, and this usually implies the destruction of the obstacle. At a higher level – as in the Zen practice of archery – the obstacle is the ego”. This symbol feels like it could pierce the veils of illusion, or get to the heart of the matter, or cut through the crap! There is something quite single minded about this symbol - an invitation to put all of our attention onto it.  
  
Black Moon Lilith, the Dark Moon Goddess is also sitting next to Uranus during this Moon, which could stir things up somewhat! BLM is not exactly known for “playing nice” and doesn’t like being told what to do, and combined with the planet of rebellion and revolution she could be a huge force of dissent. Both Uranus and Black Moon Lilith represent volcanic eruptions, which is especially interesting considering that they are currently in Taurus, the sign of Mother Earth. We may be forced to look at some very uncomfortable material during this time that could bring up rage and other such turbulent feelings, bringing our inner rebel and revolutionary to the fore. Indeed, we could experience considerable turbulence in the coming weeks as these two powerful forces unite, bringing the potential for us to liberate ourselves from whatever has kept us oppressed, repressed, limited, bound or restricted and to rise up and say “Enough is enough!” This conjunction peaks on 22 December, which feels like a very significant time indeed.
 
Speaking of oppression and limitation, Jupiter and Saturn are joining forces in final degrees of Capricorn at the moment, before they both move into humanitarian Aquarius towards the end of December. Many have their eye on the Solstice this year, which has the potential to spark the beginning of a big shift for humanity, but before that we have to get through the last couple of degrees of Capricorn! Capricorn represents authority, societal structures, rules and regulations, control, government and corporations, and with Saturn sitting in the very last degree of its own sign from 7 December until 17 December we could see the shadow side of Capricorn. We may experience greater control, judgement, oppression, repression, suppression, limitation, restriction - all the things that Uranus and Black Moon Lilith don’t like! Saturn forces us to see the harsh reality of all things Capricorn, so things could feel a bit heavy, as if we are in the very tightest part of the birth canal, getting thoroughly squeezed! The darkest hour is just before dawn.
 
Saturn and Jupiter then both move into Aquarius, on 17 and 19 December, bringing a big shift of energy! Aquarius is very different to Capricorn, signifying new vision, breaking the rules, brotherhood/sisterhood, breaking out of programming and conditioning, non-conformity, questioning the status quo, freedom from societal control and restrictions. Having had so much emphasis on all things Capricorn for so long, this could bring some relief. Pluto will be the only slow moving planet left in Capricorn after these two move over, continuing its slow and thorough detoxification of the power structures and the patriarchal system, a process that started in 2008. Saturn and Jupiter will be exactly conjunct on 21 December in the very first degree of Aquarius, which, combined with Eclipse season, could spark off a new chapter that could bring radical change, as any old, outworn, obsolete structures that simply don’t serve us any more could start to fall away. Will this be the birth of of a new world?
 
With Neptune so very strong right now it is a good time to imagine the world as we would like it to be and to dream it into being through prayer and intention - a world that is built on the principles of love, peace, tolerance, compassion and unity. What kind of world do we want to leave our children? Saturn in Aquarius is going to ask us to truly take responsibility for our Aquarian humanitarian ideals of brotherhood/sisterhood and become truly accountable for a world where equality, tolerance and freedom prevail. It truly is up to us to make it happen, and the inner work we do now can make a huge difference. One of the things that Gemini teaches us is that our thoughts have power. It is important to watch our thought process during this Moon. We tend to get what we focus on, so we must be mindful of our target.
 
““Energy follows thought; we move toward, but not beyond, what we can imagine. What we assume, expect, or believe creates and colors our experience. By expanding our deepest beliefs about what is possible, we change our experience of life.”
Dan Millman

SCORPIO NEW MOON - 15 November 2020

11/12/2020

Exact at 5.07am UK time.

This New Moon invites us to look deep within and purge and transform any habits or unhealthy patterns that no longer serve us. Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth and isn’t afraid to take a journey into the underworld to find whatever is lurking in the shadows, even if it isn’t pretty! We are invited to confront ourselves and to recognise what subconscious complexes might be running the show and sabotaging our lives and relationships. Scorpio isn’t afraid to ask the uncomfortable, probing questions and eke out the truth, no matter how deeply it may be buried. This is the time of year when we shed some skin, look our shadows squarely in the face and hopefully emerge from the experience with greater self-awareness and carrying a lighter load. This Moon invites us to turn within, dig deep and contemplate what needs to be left behind in the dark of the Moon and what seeds might we plant that will take root and grow over the course of the month.

What is our relationship with power? Do we tend to give our power away to others or do we control or manipulate others to feel safer and more powerful? Where in our lives might we be feeling a sense of powerlessness right now, and what can we do to change this? Are we able to be honest about ourselves and recognise and accept our not so pretty traits and tendencies? Who and what triggers anger and defensiveness in us and if so, what does that tell us about ourselves? What qualities do we find challenging in others that we might need to own in ourselves? What might be passing away during this time, either literally or figuratively? Are we able to let go with grace? Do we have trust issues and if so, where do they come from? Are we able to truly trust and rely on ourselves? Do we fear loss and abandonment or are we able to let people or situations go in a healthy way? Do we have the capacity for true intimacy, or are we afraid to be “exposed” and truly seen, preferring to hide our darker aspects from view? Do we tend to deny that darkness exists in ourselves, our loved ones and reality itself, or do we focus on it too much? These are all good Scorpio New Moon questions!

The Pluto Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn is forming a harmonious sextile aspect to the New Moon, which brings the potential for profound growth and transformation and could help us to see the darkness that exists in the world and within ourselves. Fear is rife at the moment, which certainly has the potential to bring out the worst in people. The combination of expansive Jupiter and powerful Pluto almost seems to be magnifying and exposing the truth, revealing things as they really are and making everything and everyone much more transparent. We can see this in the macrocosm and the microcosm - as within, so without. We are able to see the darkness and corruption in the power structures much more clearly now and must also face and own it within ourselves.This is an inside job! There is so much self-righteousness, judgement and intolerance of other people’s beliefs right now, a lot of which is stemming from the fear that is spreading around like wildfire. However, as the façades are stripped back, revealing the truth of matter, our belief system has the potential for a complete overhaul. It is so important to have an open mind at the moment and a willingness to dig deep beneath the surface to eke out the truth, even if we don’t like what we see.

Neptune is also present during this Moon, as it is forming a harmonious trine to the Sun and Moon, reminding us that we are all in this together and encouraging us to treat one another with kindness and compassion in these difficult times. We just don’t know what the person we run into on the street is going through. Neptune promotes a sense of unity, dissolving barriers between us and reminding us that ultimately we are not as separate or divided as we might think. Neptune is currently building up to a square to the Nodes of the Moon that will be exact on 6 January and is making it very hard indeed to know what the truth is, as it is completely shrouded, with smoke screens at every corner. It is as if there is a veil over the truth right now, which makes it all very confusing indeed.

However, we are encouraged to listen to our gut, trusting our deep inner knowing and finding a way to express that knowing in as eloquent and palatable a way as possible. We may have to sacrifice something personal for the higher good by finding a voice and speaking out, but ultimately we have to stand up for what is right and true, for the sake of humanity and the collective. Above all we must be open to listening to one another with an open mind and heart and without judgement or condemnation. We are all just scrabbling around in the dark trying to find the truth, which is very illusive right now!  It is so important to harness Neptune’s superpower and tap into our empathy for one another, regardless of any difference in beliefs.

Mars is very strong during this New Moon, as the warrior planet turns direct on Saturday 14 November after being retrograde since 10 September. Mars is in its own sign, Aries, and could bring some very strong emotions to the surface, including anger, not to mention generally feeling agitated, irritated, impatient, tense and on edge. This could feel especially acute for anyone who has personal angles or planets around 15° of the sign they are in, particularly the cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. We may act and react with greater force than usual, and could also make great strides ahead with anything that has been put on hold while Mars has been retrograde. This can certainly bring out our more aggressive, assertive nature, but can also help us to find the courage to do things that we may have been avoiding or scared to face. It is important to be mindful of our reactions during this time as we may be more easily triggered than usual, which could make us angry and defensive.

Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter are also forming a challenging square aspect to Venus, bringing our relationships and finances into focus in ways that might not be easy. Pluto and Venus could bring subconscious complexes into play within our relationships and we may be more compulsive than usual in the way we relate. We could find ourselves obsessing about a lover or our financial situation, and fear could have an adverse affect on our relationships and the flow of energy around finances.  We may find that people reveal their true nature and expose themselves as they really are, rather than who they would like us to see. With Saturn square Venus we may feel cut off, lonely and withdrawn, finding it hard to reach out to one another and feeling all too aware of what is lacking in our lives. Fear contracts the heart and cuts us off from one another, so it is very important to be mindful of when fear is arising in us and recognise how it affects our relationships with those closest to us. It is so easy to take our fear and frustration out on our nearest and dearest.

The Sabian symbol for this New Moon, at 24° Scorpio,  which sets the tone for the month ahead, is: “Having heard an inspired individual deliver his “sermon on the mount,” crowds are returning home.”, which Dane Rudyar describes as “ The need to incorporate inspiring experiences and teachings into everyday living. Today we hear a great deal about “peak experiences” (Maslow). The great problem facing everyone who has had such experiences is how to assimilate what has been felt, seen or heard and how to let it transform his everyday consciousness and behaviour.If this is not done the experience may turn confusing or toxic and perhaps destructive of the integrity of the person. The “return home” from the high mountain, or from any “upper chamber” of consciousness, may lead to a sense of oppression by the normal realities of existence, or else the soul that has been illuminated may retain enough of that light to transfigure every daily situation. This is the great CHALLENGE TO TRANSFORMATION.” The message of this symbol seems to be that it is all very well having revelations, realisations or insight into what needs to change a transform, but what do we actually do about it in our actual life? Similarly, do we give our power away to those who “know better than us” or can we find the truth from within?

This is a powerful New Moon, that’s for sure, in a way that only Scorpio can be! Scorpio season can often leave us feeling a bit battered and bruised, but the process is a necessary one, as it brings soul growth. If we don’t face our shadows we don’t really know ourselves and our subconscious complexes and wounding end up running the show and sabotaging our life and relationships, with the same unhealthy patterns on repeat, over and over again. We are currently being invited to look at the darker side of existence, both personally and collectively, and to be brave enough to sit with what we find, no matter how uncomfortable it might be. It is so easy to project onto others what we find difficult to recognise or accept in ourselves. The Moon can help us to strip back the layers of denial, revealing the truth behind the façade. Scorpio helps to expose the secrets and lies and isn’t afraid to know the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

Much Love

    I love writing about the Moon and the effect it has on us all, both collectively and personally. We all look at the same Moon and feel her energy, albeit in different ways. It reminds us that we are not alone and there is something very comforting about that!
