Oct. 20th, 2021 - Aries Full Moon
For this Full Moon the Libra Sun opposes the Aries Moon while making a beautiful trine to Jupiter, now direct, in fellow Air sign Aquarius. And even though ruling planet Mars is still in Libra opposing the goddess planet Eris now and trying to plant seeds of good will and acceptance, Pluto is squaring off this Full Moon and could cause power struggles instead. Awareness and choice are key.
There is a lot of motivation to get our personal needs met now, but the reality that it requires some give and take to all get what we want is coming into fuller view.
Jupiter in Aquarius helps us make choices and agreements to live and let live, respect the positions and perspectives of others and promote more personal freedoms. And if this can’t be done there will certainly be repercussions and affects on relationships. But you can choose your battles and you have choice in how you respond when they are brought to you.
Speaking of anger and upset, ruling planet Mars is still in Libra. And although Mars has not been comfortable here, perhaps the benefit of this transit can be building better relations without having to sacrificing personal principles.
And with Mercury direct at this point and all the Libra energy reporting to Venus now in Sagittarius, there can be a real possibility of meeting in the middle where possible and offering space where coming together can’t happen. Either way, there is a sense of hope for a future where more care and considerations for the experiences of others can help everyone heal, grow and bring out the best in each other.

Oct. 6th, 2021 - Libra New Moon
For this Libra New Moon we have Sun, Moon, and Mars with Mercury Rx close by all in Libra, ruling planet Venus in Scorpio semi-square the New Moon and Uranus Rx in Taurus, our other Venus ruled sign, quincunx the New Moon, all while Pluto stations direct and squares Eris, the Goddess of discord. This is a lot.
Libra energy on it’s own can usually be quite pleasant, fair and fun. However, with Mars here there is a bit more of a struggle to keep the peace and a burning sensation to push for compromise. Consideration is key for finding a middle way that allows both parties in any situation to feel like they are winning something.
And since New Moons are for going within for release, reflection and intention setting, Mercury being retrograde now is perfect for helping us step back and assess before making any hard calls. Venus and Uranus can bring in surprise insights and awakenings that can support a deeper discovery of what choices for change to make for our better future.
Change is never easy, and new beginnings are always accompanied by endings. Venus in Scorpio and Pluto’s station direct being challenged by Eris is where the struggle to stand up for yourself and eliminate what isn’t working becomes problematic and perhaps even painful. However, the good news is that it’s always worth it to push through the muddy waters of transformation because what blooms from there is priceless.

Sept. 20th, 2021 - Pisces Full Moon
Our Full Moon on Monday is in Pisces. This calls for a balancing of the Virgo-Pisces polarity.
Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac where all energies converge into one and reminds us all of our, although unseen, true affect on and connection to each other as humans and in Spirit. Virgo influences the way we operate day to day in our lives, our habits and the work we do to both survive and serve others.
Pisces ruler, Neptune, is retrograde and joining this Full Moon. This can easily illuminate fears due to uncertainty, allow imaginations to feed them and make us want to escape the harsh realities of the world. However, the Virgo Sun stands firmly opposite reminding us we have duties, roles and responsibilities and must be accountable to our bodies and our physical lives.
Opportunity for growth and balance comes with Pisces co-ruler Jupiter retrograde in Aquarius making a perfect trine to communications planet Mercury in Libra. This expands the ability to see and learn from different perspectives and discern what rings most true within before making any major choices or decisions. Mercury is also in his retrograde shadow, so going within now to seek answer may be a good idea and a saving grace for the future and our relationships.
And when you do engage, proceed with consideration and care. Mars is in Libra in a wide conjunction to the Virgo Sun, and in mutual reception with Venus in Scorpio. Responses can be harsh and hurtful if only reactionary as everyone's sensitivities are heightened. So breath and think before speaking to find kind words and comforting, constructive ways to navigate tough moments.
Remember the butterfly affect at this Full Moon. The vibration of our words and actions travel and you never know how they may ripple forward and affect many others. This is why compassion is a healthy habit worth building and it can start with one small act of kindness.

Sept. 6th, 2021 - Virgo New Moon
This New Moon in the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo brings exciting and unexpected opportunities to make measurable progress on many little personal projects and advancement more toward larger more important goals too. An exact trine to the great innovator and awakener, Uranus Rx in Taurus, is what adds the spark of energy for this New Moon.
Mars in Virgo, not far from the New Moon and trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn, can also provide needed confidence and determination in efforts to implement or make changes with less resistance or step out of comfort zones to try out a new approach to life. However, duly note that Venus in Libra is also squaring Pluto, so bad behavior is possible. If conflict arises, be honest about your needs, take a step back, walk away and wait for feelings to settle.
Ruling planet for this lunation is Mercury in Libra, which will be trining Saturn Rx in Aquarius and opposing Chiron Rx in Aries. This can support the ability to heal trauma, overcome past pains, beak through blocks and wisely make decisions that can help support building a more stable life and future.
Also be aware that Neptune Rx in Pisces is standing in a wide opposition to this Virgo New Moon and will be conjunct the Full Moon at the end of the month. This calls us to consider the nature of this polarity now in order to mediate more compassionately later. Discovering ways to strike a balance or middle ground and finding areas where there can be more tolerance will help to build a kinder co-existence for us all.
True progress and change starts with each one of us being our best in order to make better contributions to the world. So at this dark moon moment, take quiet time out from all the noise, field all the info coming in, look within for answers and set intentions from a place of body, mind and Soul alignment. This will support your best way forward for your own well being and allow you to better serve and support others.

Aug. 22nd, 2021 - Aquarius Full Moon
This second Full Moon in the sign of liberation and self actualization can be a serious game changer. Jupiter is conjunct this Full Moon and bringing in the opportunity for truths to be revealed and justice to be served. If you're in the middle of a legal battle, decisions can be made now that will free you from troubles or you will have the confidence to stand up for what you believe or think is best for all parties involved.
Also with the Moon now in Aquarius opposite the Leo Sun, the excitement of setting intentions at the Leo New Moon to push forward and really go for what you want may have worm off and now it may feel hard to justify the leap of faith that's really required to get there.
There is a sense of 'now or never', or 'do or die' in the air with this Full Moon. And sometimes that's what it takes to truly push through and make progress. Remember Aquarius is fixed air energy and changing your mind is the first step to doing things differently.
So this lunation is an opportunity to tell yourself and others the truth in order to create the freedom you need to do what you want and ultimately make changes that will empower everyone to be better and do better.

Aug. 8th, 2021 - Leo New Moon
This Sunday's potent New Moon is in the sign of the Sun. The Sun is what energizes us and lights us up, while Leo provides the courage and power to step up and shine doing it. And with Mercury conjunct this meet up it's the perfect time to stand up, speak up and show what you've got.
This new beginning makes creative forces strong and inspires bold and dramatic action. The need to be more authentic and upfront with who you are will feel important and a desire to be seen, heard and understood will feel vital.
Leo calls on us to push toward our highest potential so we can offer our best to the world. And this New Moon stands opposite a midpoint between Saturn Rx in Aquarius and Jupiter Rx in Aquarius. This implies that it will take some letting go of the old ways of thinking and seeking success, breaking free from restrictions and trying something new in order to reach your goals.
Uranus in Taurus also makes a perfect trine to Mars in Virgo who is teaming with Venus in Virgo as well. This can also support putting ideas and plans into action for making dramatic changes in your daily life and work.
Ultimately, this lunation is an opportunity for a new and more true self-expression to be born from with you. It won't be easy, especially when you're up against fixed fire energy like Leo, but it will be worth it. And squares are just the thing to help. The Sun will have just come off a square to Uranus in Taurus, which arrives Friday, challenging you to break the mold and create the life you really want. So you feel the push and the wind at your back. And remember, the good news is you can never go wrong when you are being your best and most authentic Self. So go for it!

July 23rd, 2021 - Aquarius Full Moon
This Friday’s Full Moon at 1 #Aquarius takes us back to the great conjunction point of December 2020 when Saturn and Jupiter first entered the rebellious sign together. They shifted the energy in a new direction for the purpose of pushing us all, as individuals and as a collective, toward more authentic self-expression and out of our comfort zones to really create our dreams.
Now during this electric lunation the Moon is vibrating off of a conjunction with transformational Pluto Rx in Capricorn and headed toward a conjunction with hard working Saturn Rx in Aquarius. You may be reflecting on how far you’ve come over the last six months and evaluating where you want to go from here. There may be some new things that you want to try or expand on and other places where more change is needed to make progress.
Co-Rulers, Saturn Rx in Aquarius & Uranus in Taurus, are still in a challenging square forcing us through this tough work of restructuring and adjusting life in more authentic, honest, productive and healthy directions. This is a process everyone is navigating this year and into 2022.
Venus in Virgo opposing Jupiter Rx in Pisces now helps create opportunity to build new habits and healthy routines or rituals that can support a desired new way of living. Make a plan and start with small steps.
Mercury in Cancer trine Neptune Rx in Pisces may cause some confusion in organizing practical matters, but it can serve the imagination brilliantly. Getting creative in how you structure your day, leaving plenty of room for brainstorming or imagining other possibilities, can ultimately help you find your way forward through uncertainty.
Leo Sun says ‘follow your heart’ and Aquarius Moon says ‘I need to do it my way’. So the time may feel perfect for changing things up in order to make real progress. Authenticity and originality are what wins now, so break free to follow your heart and shine your light in your own unique way.

July 9th, 2021 - Cancer New Moon
This New Moon in luna’s home sign of Cancer is a perfect time to tune into how we are nurturing ourselves, our loved ones and our families.
Self-care and ensuring we give ourselves and receive what we need to feel our best is essential for being able to offer care, comfort and protection to others in our lives.
So this is a good time to check in and set intentions for making needed changes to create a healthier, happier life and home.
A nice sextile to Uranus in Taurus indicates it may be surprisingly easy to make the desired changes and improvements. This will be good because Mars and Venus in Leo are certainly pushing us to go get what we want now. This duo in the fire sign of heart-centered self expression is providing a boost of courage to take action and be more assertive.
An applying trine from the New Moon to Neptune Rx in Pisces is reminding us to trust our intuition, how our feelings manifest in our bodies as signals for us and also to have faith in ourselves even if we feel fearful at times.
The applying opposition to Pluto Rx in Capricorn can also start the reveal of where in our lives we feel overpowered by others, overwhelmed by our responsibilities or less than confident in what we’re trying to make happen. These insecurities could be coming from recent events or from way back in early childhood programming.
How we were raised and what we experienced early on in life laid foundations for the lives we are living today. And each year when the Sun and Moon meet up in this sign there is a chance another opportunity to tap back into ourselves and how we can nurture more of our own nature to take our lives to next levels of growth. We can heal our hearts, free our inner child from your past impositions, learn the importance of our own self care and empower us to follow our hearts desires.
And this self-nurturing can naturally then support our ability to more fully love, support and care for our loved ones and families.

June 24th, 2021 - Capricorn Full Moon
This Capricorn Full Moon is an opportunity to recognize and build more balance in our lives. Cancer rules home and family, while Capricorn rules our responsibilities, career and work in the world. Maintaining a healthy balance between these two areas is the important and on-going work for creating a happy, meaningful and fulfilling life. And this Full Moon puts the spotlight on how we're doing.
Handling responsibilities is a requirement for being able to reach goals, achieve harmony in our relationships and thrive each day. And nurturing the people, places and things that make all the hard work worth it is necessary for gaining the needed emotional support to keep us going.
This Full Moon is being blessed by a positive sextile and trine from Jupiter Retrograde in Pisces. This is a great time for an overdue adventure or vacation with family to get away from it all for a while. Quality time with those we love most can remind us of our good fortune, the bigger picture of our lives and what we can be most grateful for.
Moon in Capricorn makes the ruler of this lunation Saturn, which is currently retrograde in Aquarius and making sextiles to both Chiron in Aries and Juno in Sagittarius.
Aquarius energy says, home and family is what we make it and that can include friends and social or support groups as much as the ones we are related to through blood. Also, we are learning that through advancements in technology staying close and connected can be easier than ever.
Full Moon’s also always heighten the feelings of opposition and polarity. And in this case we can feel pulled between our duty and to dos and our personal needs, desires and issues. With Saturn in Aquarius we are feeling the struggle between following the rules or what has worked in the past and breaking free from tradition and the past to go in new directions and build on new and unique visions for the future.
But the one thing both Cancer and Capricorn can agree on is the need for security. Therefore the benefits and motivations for working hard and taking care of the family and foundations of our lives is for the purpose of cultivating feelings of safety, belonging, and love while also establishing long-term financial stability. So these are the considerations and concerns this Full Moon will be bringing to light. Wishing you many blessings, growing abundance and of course healthy balance.

June 10th, 2021 -New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini
This eclipse is an invitation to step through the portal of new possibilities for the future towards a renewed sense of understanding of our lives, who we think we are, what we think we need to be happy and the truth.
The ruling planet of this eclipse is Mercury, which is conjunct the Sun and Moon as well as retrograde. So needless to say this one is blowing our minds wide open and perhaps causing us to rethink everything. That may not be a bad thing though.
Mercury Retrograde is a time of reviewing, relearning or reorganizing our ways of living, communicating or sharing our thoughts and ideas. And this is for the ultimate purpose of being able to express ourselves more authentically and maintain more honest, healthy relationships with others.
We now have both Mars and Venus in Cancer, so they both report directly to this New Moon in Gemini. This calls on us to consider how we are engaging with our partners, loved ones and family to ensure we are honoring one another's views and needs with compassion and nurturing the relationships to the best of our ability.
A strong square from this New Moon to Neptune in Pisces can make it hard to find the right words to say or the right time to say them. So if you find yourself in any tough talks, be sure to make it known that the conversation will likely have to be revisited and a final decision made at a later time.
Since Saturn is also retrograde perhaps this is just a good time to discuss the terms and conditions of a project, agreement or commitment to help work out the best way forward when the time comes.
If the brain fog is too much in the moment, surrender the need to know and trust clarity will come in due time. And if you can, use this eclipse and new awareness, information, perspectives and insights coming in to rethink things to reset for a fresh start that is more aligned and true for you.

May 26th, 2021 -Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius
The theme for this first eclipse of the year is. 'Letting go to open new opportunities".
I say this because the key aspect and consideration for this eclipse is a square to Jupiter in Pisces. Jupiter is the natural ruler for Sagittarius, so it's also the ruler of this eclipse. Jupiter is freedom loving energy and pushes us to seek knowledge and wisdom to establish our personal truths so we can feel and live free. Pisces influences our faith, intuition and the spiritual beliefs we have in what we can't always see but feel to be true for us. It also creates fears of the unknown and rules endings in astrology.
So Jupiter making what we call a T-square configuration to this Full Moon, is what is calling us to question things more. And the purpose is to discover where we may be living according to someone else's truths rather than our own, or what we were taught to believe when we were young that doesn't hold water for us anymore. It can become more clear now what needs to be let go of in order to change this. And when we do, opportunities for growth, reaching more success and living more authentically are endless.
And don't forget, the Nodes are involved here, which is what makes it an eclipse. This is also what makes this time even more profound and significant for evolving and advancing towards our ultimate destiny and highest good.
Now I'm not gonna lie. This won't be a totally easy process. It will take work and it will be emotional. Change and letting go always is. However, the Moon is applying towards a trine to Chiron in Aries which indicates positive healing is possible if you can trust that you will be okay and push through the pain.
The Full Moon is also making a good applying aspect to Saturn in Aquarius for this eclipse. And since Saturn is retrograde it can help us return to old ideas, projects or goals with new perspectives and insight for advancing them. Or maybe realizing what you don't want to do anymore and where you want to reinvent yourself or your work to build a better future.
So hold on, engage in the effort to understand more of yourself and your larger story. And stay flexible and open. This is a strong mutable energy we are in now and there is major opportunity for expanding our awareness and deepening our ability to learn and grow from our experiences in life rather than letting them hold us back or block us from making our biggest dreams a reality.
So let go, trust yourself and make space for the new opportunities waiting for you on the other side of this eclipse season.

Now I'm not gonna lie. This won't be a totally easy process. It will take work and it will be emotional. Change and letting go always is. However, the Moon is applying towards a trine to Chiron in Aries which indicates positive healing is possible if you can trust that you will be okay and push through the pain.
The Full Moon is also making a good applying aspect to Saturn in Aquarius for this eclipse. And since Saturn is retrograde it can help us return to old ideas, projects or goals with new perspectives and insight for advancing them. Or maybe realizing what you don't want to do anymore and where you want to reinvent yourself or your work to build a better future.
So hold on, engage in the effort to understand more of yourself and your larger story. And stay flexible and open. This is a strong mutable energy we are in now and there is major opportunity for expanding our awareness and deepening our ability to learn and grow from our experiences in life rather than letting them hold us back or block us from making our biggest dreams a reality.
So let go, trust yourself and make space for the new opportunities waiting for you on the other side of this eclipse season.

May 11th, 2021 - Taurus New Moon
Once again the New Moon arrives as we near the end of the Sun’s travels through the season. The Taurus New Moon on May 11th brings a new beginning for us all around relationships, money, security, values, worth and work.
Aries season sparked action and so far Taurus season has allowed us to begin seeding and assessing what we want to grow. And now it’s time to set intentions for how we want to cultivate what we desire to manifest.
The thing is, ruler Venus has already moved into Mutable Gemini with Mercury and soon the Sun will join them. So it’s time to start trying and testing ideas to see what others respond to and see what can offer the most value. Mercury makes a supportive trine with Saturn in Aquarius which can help you break through blocks or break away from out dated ways of doing things and innovate to reach more success.
Change is not at all easy for Taurus as a Fixed Earth energy and making a trine to Pluto Rx in Capricorn there is also a serious support for wanting to hold on to the tried and true even if it’s not getting you where you want to go fast enough. It’s time to let go of this notion and finally create real, long lasting change. And if you are truly ready it won’t be as hard to do as you think.
A sextile to Neptune in Pisces further says you feel inspired to evolve but not quite clear of the full plan. That’s okay. This is the time to trust the process and embrace the idea of being a work in progress. You have nothing to lose if you try and everything to gain by taking a chance on yourself.
So setting intentions for the strength to step out of your comfort zone and allowing things to be messy and playful for a while as you slowly move toward your dreams and goals will prove totally worth it.

April 26th, 2021 - Scorpio Full Moon
This Full Moon stands up against a wall of Taurus energy for this Super Moon lunation. However, Scorpio is also very strong, and ruled by Pluto and Mars is a powerful opponent.
Taurus season is all about growth and cultivating more value, love and abundance in our lives. As a Fixed Earth sign and with added Earth energy from Uranus, Venus and Mercury there are plenty of ideas and opportunities coming in and plenty of work to be done to make progress on them. Taurus knows the value of work and staying dedicated to a goal.
Scorpio is where we can tap into our lived experienced and wisdom to evolve in our consciousness, life, work and partnerships from a place of more profound truth, authenticity and personal power.
With Saturn in Aquarius squaring this Full Moon we are challenged to use what we know, what we’ve learned and done in our lives as a foundation, but also to think outside the box for more inventive, creative ways for growing and building the future of our dreams.
Pluto in Capricorn stationing to shift retrograde demands we let go of old, worn out ways of working. So this energy is helpful now for digging in to discover what those ways are that need to be eliminated. And co ruler Mars in Cancer is reporting back to the Moon inspiring bold and confident action based on our truest feelings and desires.
Taurus season promises abundance with slow and steady effort and Scorpio gives us the power to push through and trust ourselves more when difficulty, doubts and fears creep in.
Overall the feeling of this Full Moon is hopeful and energizing for making big moves towards manifesting what we want most. Something significant in our lives is culminating and empowering us to work harder to go farther. So now is a great time to use what you know to grow.

April 11th, 2021 - Aries New Moon
This Aries New Moon is a great time to set intention for what you alone most desire and want for yourself and what first or next steps you want to make to reach your goals.
But this New Moon also brings to mind the idiom, “No man is an island”. This means no one is wholly self-sufficient. Everyone relies on others somehow and everyone needs the support of others to survive and thrive.
Aries is a very independent, freedom loving energy, and people with strong Aries placements can do quite a bit on their own. And more importantly, they are self-motivated to do things. They don’t need a push from others to even get the ball rolling. But that isn’t the case for everyone, and ultimately even Aries people need others to feel accomplished and like the winners they wish to be.
The benefit of this lunar new beginning comes from the close proximity of Venus in Aries and her square to Pluto in Capricorn, which is going to inspire a hard look in the mirror for many to see where personal powers are being given or taken away. The purpose here is to inspire doing more self healing, not imposing more harm toward others. So have compassion if this intense sensitivity plays out for you.
The good news is the Moon is sextile Mars, the ruling planet of this New Moon, in social Gemini and making a trine to expansive Jupiter in Aquarius. So it’s important to stand in your personal authority with confidence, while also remembering to consider the good friends and associates ready and waiting in the wings to help and nurture your growth if needed. It may just require the courage to ask. Pride could get in the way with Mercury in Aries though.
Overall, the vibes for this New Moon are great for setting intentions and initiating action. While at the same time, encouraging us to take a more gentle than aggressive approach to getting what we want. This can boost the odds of success, as well as help attract more love and support from others.

March 28th, 2021 - Libra Full Moon
This Full Moon in the Air sign of the scales, calls our attention to considering new insight, perspectives, and adjustments that need to be made in order to create a better balance in our relationships with others and in our daily lives.
It takes two to tango and two heads are also better than one for getting places faster. So the Sun in Aries with Chiron and Venus exactly opposite this Libra Moon will create a bit of a tug-o-war between personal desires and finding new ways of collaborating to ensue win wins instead of more competition.
Also, learning to honor the feelings and needs of others in our lives can help us heal past hurts where we might have felt personally left out, not heard, disrespected or dishonored too.
Speaking of listening and learning, the Libra Moon is engaged in a Grand Air trine with Saturn in Aquarius and N. Node and Mars in Gemini. So it would be in everyone’s best interest to stay open minded and open-hearted so resolutions to issues can be discovered, important partnerships can be nicely negotiated and personal relationships can find healing and harmony.
Venus is the ruler of this lunation, and in the sign of Aries, activates Mars and Uranus in Taurus, both in supportive aspects. This energy combo in play encourages us again to take a proactive approach to finding where we can try something new for finding fair and progressive ways to better get along, judge each other less and live together in peace.
Overall, this Full Moon has a friendly and sweet vibe with no hard aspects challenging the energies. So with awareness and conscious action, promises to bring new stability where things have felt unsettled and renewed commitment for building love and success that is lasting.

March 13th, 2021 - Pisces New Moon
This is a dreamy and romantic New Moon, where endless potentials are present for creating a truly new beginning and life of our own making. In art, love, life, relationship and work. All pathways and possibilities are available for us to discover and birth new life.
Where 23 Pisces falls in your chart is where this New Moon can inspire creative surges, magical insights and reveal hidden treasures or lessons that can help you dream in the next chapter of your story or birth your most wished for new beginning.
The New Moon is joined by the Pisces modern ruler Neptune, which serves here as a gateway or portal to stepping into this new phase of your journey. And Venus, the planet of art, beauty, love and value is present here as well to show us our real gifts and what we truly most desire to manifest and grow.
This can be super wonderful and exciting, however, from the shadow perspective, the word of warning here is to make conscious all the places and behaviors that get us lost, overwhelmed or off track, and remain as free as possible from attachments to how it will all look and feel on the other side.
This is where the ancient ruler of Pisces can come in to serve too. Jupiter stands in Aquarius to remind us to stay in the big picture and broader vision of what we are wanting to bring forward and trust that our higher vibe will attract our right tribe.
A few other aspects influencing this New Moon are Mercury also in the idealistic and idea inspiring sign of Aquarius, Mars in Gemini headed toward a trine to Saturn in Aquarius, and Pluto in Capricorn sextile to the New Moon. We are also still feeling Uranus in Taurus squaring Saturn.
This combo of energies at play here calls for us to open our minds to different perspectives and possibilities for reaching our goals, explore new practices for staying grounded in our values, personal and spiritual truths, and learn to trust more in the divine timing of all life.
So some good ideas to consider for navigating this New Moon are to surrender to meditation, retreats or rest when feeling low or out of sorts, journal your brainstorming dreams and wishes when your mind feels on overdrive, and set intentions for trusting more in the higher power you believe is truly supporting your growth, and releasing fears or anxiety to help manage times of confusion in more constructive ways.
By beginning more mindful and healthy practices for nurturing our emotional and physical bodies with more awareness, this lunar phase can inspire healing and wholeness, promote inner happiness, and activate the imagination for creating from our highest value and our deepest desires. This is truly the place where all the most beautiful things are born.
The Spring Equinox is just around the corner, so don't lose your sense of Self, but feel free to lose yourself in all the wonder and possibility for dreaming in new life and a new way of being in the world. The world is changing and now is the time to discover and become the change you wish to see in it.

Feb 27th, 2021 - Virgo Full Moon
Pisces season always provides a sea of opportunities, creative inspirations and aspirations, but it’s easy to get lost in the exploration or overwhelmed with all the effort it will take to bring the imagined into form.
But this is where Virgo comes in. Virgo has the gift of discernment and knows how to integrate and organize all the moving parts to ensure something useful is made after all the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed.
This is what the Virgo Full Moon offers us. A chance to get our ducks in a row and get the process of building the dream we seeded at the Aquarius New Moon started for real.
Now this Full Moon may be opposite the Sun and all the other planets, however, she is also the handle of a fan configuration for this lunar phase, indicating without her nothing else will get done. She is the feminine leader with the power to move the rest of the gang to create the fresh breeze required to breath and move forward.
The Sun and Venus stand together creating a potential for either creative collaboration or some possible issues of overwhelm and balancing all the duties to meet the needs of others and also make space to meet the needs and desires for one’s self.
Also Mercury, the ruler of this Full Moon, stands direct in Aquarius between Jupiter and Saturn. So the reasoning between managing responsibilities and wanting to break free to work on what is really inspiring you right now is real.
So prioritizing what is a must and what can wait, and creating plans or lists for sharing the load, should leave at least a little wiggle room to add in some of what is truly calling on your heart and Soul to do for you.

Feb 11th, 2021 - Aquarius New Moon
Sun in Aquarius is all about individuality and originality. But at its highest vibration this seeking of unique expression is for the purpose of enriching or progressing the group or larger world, not to just serve ones own ego.
The two great Aquarian quotes to me are “Be yourself, everyone else is taken” and another by Astrologer Gemini Brett, “Fix yourself to fix the world.” And I am adding my own, "Shine your light to light the world."
But this is more about the process of becoming rather than just an easy choice to make and enact.
For this Aquarius New Moon, the Sun and Moon are leading the charge toward change and progress, and challenging each of us to step more in to our authentic selves, who we are and what we can uniquely offer and contribute to make a difference. Whether it’s in a relationship, family, community or larger world.
And this New Moon is supported by, the stellium I’m calling the Squad. Its Pallas Athena the asteroid Goddess of creative intelligence, Mercury the planet of communications and learning (Rx),Venus our Goddess of Love and self-worth, blessing barer Jupiter, and self-mastery worker Saturn all also in Aquarius.
This lineup could manifest as a chain of events that happen to help push things along or inspire a pivot that is necessary for our desired changes and progress to happen.
It may also be expressed as a group of like minds or a team of people coming together with all their unique strengths and knowledge to support each other and a bigger movement.
The co-rulers of this New Moon, Saturn and Uranus, are working in a square formation. And if we can use these two energies to meet people and issues that come up in the middle, rather than digging in to old ways or pushing too far into new territory, there is an opportunity to find real solutions that are mutually beneficial so everyone gets something they want.
Speaking of benefit and opportunities- and from a more personal perspective, Venus and Jupiter are exactly conjunct at 12 Aquarius. Which in Numerology equals 3. So this speaks right to the value of cooperation and working in collaboration in order to create new ways forward that can benefit everyone involved.
But the biggest thing to remember for this new moon is that right in the middle of this Aquarian squad sits Mercury retrograde. He’s got Venus, Jupiter and Saturn on one side and Pallas, Moon and Sun on the other. So it’s almost like he’s the mediator or middle child of this family of misfit kids trying to find ways to keep the peace in the family.
So with so much happening in the world and so much to think about, this is a perfect time to personally stop and reflect a little so you can ensure you are clear about who you uniquely are, what your uniquely here to offer and what way or platform is best for sharing it with others.
And lastly, Mercury is also in conversation with the Gemini /Sagittarius Nodal Axis. So it’s a really great time to listen and pay attention to what messages and insight are coming into your awareness. Because these are the things that can awaken us to the truth and true path we came here to travel.

Jan. 28th, 2021 - Leo Full Moon
This Leo Full Moon brings with it great creative potential for rising to our own Sun, stepping more fully into who we are, owning our light and pursuing our true hearts desire. But the truth is we can only truly rise to our fullest potential, through helping others rise to theirs as well.
And this can’t truly be done without getting a little uncomfortable. Like the saying goes, “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”. And with Mars and Uranus conjunct in Taurus squaring off this Full Moon it will be time to courageously ‘go there’.
But it’s important to remember that pride often comes before the fall. So in going for only what you want for yourself, with disregard or respect for others, you run the risk of putting off the very people you want to attract, impress, reach or join.
And the message of the opposing Sun in Aquarius between Saturn and a conjunction with Jupiter, as well as Mercury here, is that by gathering all our best talents, knowledge, wisdom, friends, like minds and even those with different views and ideas, we can work together to create fresh opportunities that allow for more than just ourselves to shine and reach our goals.
This lunar phase creates a t-square configuration which can be like a pressure cooker of energies and cause stress, uneasiness and potential conflict. And we can look to the focal point for where resolve and resolutions can be found. Uranus and Mars hold this space here.
So only through innovation, consideration, collaboration and playing by agreed upon rules can everyone have the opportunity of find solutions to problems, fixes for what's not working, and fresh ideas for ways to create what ultimately we all seek; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Jan. 12th/13th, 2021 - Capricorn New Moon
This Capricorn New Moon has great significance and potentials for setting the stage for all we hope to change, build and manifest throughout this year ahead and way beyond.
Transformation tough guy, Pluto joins this New Moon in Capricorn at the same degree of the powerful Saturn/Pluto conjunction of January 2020. So as we reflect on all that has happened since then, what has been disrupted, destroyed, has died or is ending; we must say goodbye, gathering together our newly discovered ideas, truths, principles, goals, visions, and missions, and begin seeding plans for how to structure, build and manifest a new path forward.
Saturn the ruler of this New Moon, sits just next door in it’s second home sign of Aquarius, with Jupiter and Mercury, and squares Mars and Uranus Rx in Taurus. You could call this grouping a ‘Poesy with a Purpose’ or a ‘Crew with a Cause’. Either way the energy points to how we can set intentions and put plans in place for making great progress, change, innovation and positive advancement through steady, disciplined work individually and in collaboration with other like minds on a similar mission.
This can also be expressed through fighting to hold on to control, power and whatever makes us feel safe and secure in this ever radically changing world around us. This is where Mercury calls in important questioning for us. What change do you want to see in the world? What role do you want to play in being and bringing forth that change?
Venus in Capricorn makes a positive trine to the Mars Uranus conjunction and can support this seeding for building new structures and ways of living that are not just vital and valuable to us as individuals, but can contribute to the bigger picture and help build more sustainable systems that work for everyone.
So for this strong Earth Air lunation, a good approach to take is to begin grounding and seeding what you hope to create and manifest in the next 27 days, 27 months and beyond. Set your intentions, trusting in the unknown divine timing for how it will all come into form, and start laying the foundations that will sustain you along the way and support you when it arrives.

Venus in Capricorn makes a positive trine to the Mars Uranus conjunction and can support this seeding for building new structures and ways of living that are not just vital and valuable to us as individuals, but can contribute to the bigger picture and help build more sustainable systems that work for everyone.
So for this strong Earth Air lunation, a good approach to take is to begin grounding and seeding what you hope to create and manifest in the next 27 days, 27 months and beyond. Set your intentions, trusting in the unknown divine timing for how it will all come into form, and start laying the foundations that will sustain you along the way and support you when it arrives.

Dec. 29th, 2020 - Cancer Full Moon
This last Full Moon of the year brings reflection and deep feelings about home, family and our sense of security and belonging. The saying “home is where the heart is” always rings true when Cancer energy is involved. Wherever we call home or wherever we feel most at home is where our hearts can settle, rest and feel safest. And with the Moon in her home sign, there is a “coming home” energy for each of us for this Full Moon.
And with Mercury conjunct the Capricorn Sun, there is an ability to bring some logic to the way we are feeling, so more comforting communication and discussions can be had to work through the emotions of the moment.
Venus in Sagittarius makes a square to Neptune in Pisces at this lunation which brings an opportunity to expand our faith, beliefs, and connection to our higher power and/or in a spiritually soothing relationship that supports us in trusting what is and what can’t be seen, but only felt to be true. Trusting in divine timing, our intuition and what we feel in our hearts is the right choice or path to follow will surely help clear the way.
And speaking of clearing, Chiron in Aries also squares this Full Moon. This can bring recent or past pain, loss or wounds to the surface. But with nurturing, self-care and consoling from family, and loved ones, they can be further healed so we can begin feeling more into a future fill with more hope and possibility.
And speaking of possibilities, let’s end on a high note! Revolutionary planet Uranus, Rx in Taurus, trines the Capricorn Sun and makes a sextile to this Full Moon in Cancer. So some genius ideas, unexpected surprises or hoped for news can come now that gets us feeling inspired and motivated to step into this new year energized and ready to engage with life from a more grounded, rooted, heartfelt, honest, knowledgeable, mature, masterful, and meaningful place. A place physically and within that you can feel safe, secure and totally at home.

Dec. 14th, 2020 - Sagittarius New Moon Total Solar Eclipse
This final New Moon and Eclipse of 2020 opens a powerful portal for discovering new horizons and seeking opportunities for creating our dreams of a better future.
The big event occurs at 23 Sagittarius conjunct Mercury and the South Node, both within orb of the Galactic Center.
The Galactic Center is the center point of our Milky Way Galaxy, which falls around 26-27 Sagittarius. And it is believed to be the source of energetic particles thought to open up the subconscious mind, urging us to both release old wounds and engage in life in ways that help bring in new paradigms. It can act as a transmitter of Divine Consciousness. So this eclipse, here on this significant point in our cosmos, provides a chance to heal deep hurts and download true gems and genius for how we can take our evolution to the next plane of consciousness and new realms for higher vibe existence.
The South Node invites us to honor the past and all it's taught us, and decide what beliefs, principles and practices we wish to carry forward in our lives and ones we don't. Mercury plays a key teacher role here. So listening extra close now, especially to the whispers of wisdom being offered, can help you can discover the best direction to point your arrow for manifesting all your desires and visions.
Mars in Aries trining this New Moon can make it feel like things are moving extremely fast. And in many ways they are. But remember you are navigating in the dark right now. So rest your engine, refuel your body and proceed with caution as you give yourself time to wrap your mind fully around where you are headed, to ensure it is the right way for you.
Jupiter is the ruler of this New Moon and is making an exact sextile to Venus in Scorpio. So this adds to the opportunity, inspiration and serious desire to explore higher realms for making magnificent growth. Seeking higher knowledge, higher mind, and higher love for transformation can surely help us all be the best we can be; as people, families, communities, cultures, nations and world.
Wishing you all the best as you cross this threshold and enter the next phase of your journey. Look to where this event is happening in your Natal Chart to discover more about the doorway you are walking through at this time.

Nov. 30th, 2020 - Gemini Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
This week's Gemini Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse is sure to offer a new perspective on the big picture of our lives. It only takes the smallest of adjustments to make major changes to our views.
This lunation is a partial eclipse since the Nodes of fate and destiny are within proximity. Eclipses are inertia shifters and can bring seemingly sudden changes to the direction of life. And Full Moon’s are revealing and can bring a rise in revelations. This indicates we are in a time where life can truly shift in destined ways that make major differences in the bigger picture and our life purpose mission.
For the dualistic sign of Gemini, choosing just one view or way is not natural. So this is a time we can all embrace this energy and make an effort to hold more than one idea, truth or view at once in order to support more understanding, personal and communal connections, and growth.
And with the depositor of the Moon, Mercury, in Scorpio, we are still swimming deep in the shadows of our thoughts and feelings for this moment. And Venus is also here in Scorpio. So pay close attention to what comes to light, and what messages are received. They are likely to bring new awareness that can inspire these beneficial changes of perspective.
It may even help to open up and engage in some meaningful and perhaps vulnerable conversations to support your mental curiosity and growth. Mercury will move into Sagittarius the next day and this will further expand this process over the next few weeks.
And speaking of expansion, Jupiter in Capricorn is our Sun’s ruler now and sextile Mercury for this Full Moon. And Capricorn being an element of Earth and structure, now is an ideal time to begin structuring your knowledge and wisdom into efficient forms for sharing or teaching.
So in my opinion staying flexible and open in heart and mind to new ways of seeing and doing things now is key to making the significant advances we desire both within and out in the world.
Past ideas and plans may not have worked out the way you hoped for this year, but perhaps there is another way or opportunity to make it all happen, and even better than you could have ever imagined.

Nov. 14th, 2020 - Scorpio New Moon
Scorpio is a very deep, dynamic and determined energy and rules the 8th house of life, death, transformation, and the reflecting and resources required for constant evolution, growth and creation of powerful, sustainable unions. And New Moon's are when the Sun and Moon reunite each month to complete a phase of the journey helping us release anything no longer serving us and then seed and birth new beginnings that can carry us forward.
So with this Scorpio New Moon, true transformation can begin, Souls can be restored, and life can take on a totally new reality, and sense of possibility of what we can build together with honesty, trust and dedication.
The strongest aspect of this New Moon is an exact sextile between the Sun, Moon and Jupiter in Capricorn. This also indicates significant opportunities for expansion of our views, and a willingness to work better with others to make needed improvements everyone can benefit from.
And with Venus in Libra moving into a square with Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn, there is further support for building on our relationships, broadening our vision for the future and making powerful progress on our personal projects and goals.
And from a cosmic collective view, we can begin to clearly see that growth, justice and change can always come with hard work, determination, love and faith in divine timing.
The two rulers of this New Moon are Mars and Pluto. Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio and, having just stationed direct in mid Aries, is still gearing its energy back up to get the ball rolling forward again. But now on a new mission and moving in the right direction, a renewed sense of confidence and courage will be fueling him and us.
Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio and just coming off his final conjunction with Jupiter in Capricorn, there will surely be extreme emotional waves as we transition through this complex course toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Change is never easy, and the fears, anxiety and doubts that come with it never feel good during the process. However, great blessings, gifts and rewards can come through persistence and perseverance.
Remember too, the recent Mercury retrograde in Scorpio allowed us to reflect on what might be oppressing our progress. And it's return to the sign this week, now direct, and moving toward another opposition to Uranus in Taurus during this New Moon, is inspiring serious changes in mindset based on our discoveries so breakthroughs can create deeper understanding.
And with this new perspective, awareness and reality, hopefully we can build more sustainable ways of living, find fresh ways to get along with others, and finally make some positive, real and lasting change in our lives and world.
So I feel the conscious approach to this Scorpio New Moon is to look within for restoration resources and set intentions for how to let go of grudges, navigate struggles with more compassion and start healing hearts, and relationships with honesty and integrity. This feels like a new reality I would like to live in. My hope is that it is possible.

Oct. 31st, 2020 - Taurus Full Moon
This is a Blue Halloween Full Moon in Taurus that is sure to bring some surprises with the conjunction to Uranus. And they may be of the spooky kind or the sweet kind.
Expect the unexpected is a common phrase used when Uranus is involved. And since this is a rebellious, progressive thinking energy, breaking rules and breaking with convention is often the mode of operation used to make desired changes and inspire a fresh perspective.
You can take note too that since Uranus will continue it’s travel through the Earth sign of Taurus over the course of the next 5 years, we can all expect lots of potential upheaval, change and redesigning around things like our work, money and relationships. And we may be inspired to take the road less traveled to reach destinations we didn't even know we wanted to go to. So pay close attention, especially when Uranus is involved with the lunar phases, as this will bring the larger vision and story to light as we move along.
And with Uranus being ruled naturally by the Air sign Aquarius, it enjoys pushing the envelope to make advancements and promote freedom of expression. Uranus in Aquarius says ‘live and let live’, but in Taurus it says, ‘live and let live fairly’.
So with this being the second Full Moon this month, which is why we call it Blue, as in "Once in a Blue Moon, Venus being the ruler and Mercury Rx now in Venus’ second home sign of Libra, we have a second chance to make changes, make peace and make choices that can really support moving in a better direction of our future, as individuals and as a group.
Two other key aspects of this Full Moon that resonate with this idea of second chances to make good and create win-wins are Venus in Libra opposing Chiron Rx in Aries and Mercury Rx in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn. With this we will be processing pain to heal and break free from our personal blocks, and revisiting the past to seek answers from within for how to best live and relate with others better going forward.
So even if you feel pushed out of your comfort zone and can’t seem to communicate what you intend to say or bridge the gap to reach an understanding with someone just yet, be tender with yourself, remembering your own value and do the best you can to show others that you care, appreciate them and do want that second chance to get on the same page. The right words and ways for making the needed changes and progress will come soon enough.

Oct. 16th, 2020 - Libra New Moon
This Libra New Moon comes with the opportunity of a lifetime. But it will take hard work, will, honesty, an open heart, and a desire to truly evolve.
Here are the questions I see posed by this New Moon.
Can we come together and improve our relationships to unify and co-create a civil society we can all co-exist and live in respectfully and freely?
Can we stop fighting for one side and instead unite together to fight for the ability to even debate the issues and discover ways we can improve life more fairly for everyone?
Answering these questions will take some serious self reflection, personal inquiry and a consideration of perspectives, ideas and beliefs other than our own.
The ruler of this Moon is Venus, who is now in intellectually critical Virgo, making a trine to Jupiter in Capricorn and opposing Neptune Rx in Pisces. So making the conscious choice to be slower to judge, less reactive, willing to work with others to resolve conflicts and open to getting creative to find ways to manage our work, society and connections with more compassion could certainly support better outcomes.
This may be easier said than done, but with the New Moon making positive aspect to the North Node in Gemini I think even just starting the conversation can inspire hope and possibilities.
Nothing worth having comes easy and letting go of old useless habits, patterns, thinking and limiting beliefs is scary. And Mars Rx in Aries still squaring the Capricorn counsel of Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn is definitely not making it any easier. The challenges are real and with Mercury now retrograde in Scorpio all decisions are feeling like life or death, proving just how high the stakes are in these changing times.
I'd like to pass on some great advice I received recently from the amazing Astrologer Adam Gainsburg. He was speaking to this week’s Mars Rx in Aries opposition to the Libra Sun which is exact a couple of days before this New Moon. It is a very significant part of the larger 2 year cycle of Mars we are all in right now, and is the halfway point, which he calls, the Transcendence Phase.
He says what is being called for now in order for us to truly and positively progress, as individuals and collectively, is for us to wake up, stop fighting for one side, which only strengthens division, and do the inner work to face our own fears of loosing our identity, security and personal life meaning.
This is not an easy task for sure, because by no means is transformation and transcendence an easy or fun process. But it is a journey worth going on if you truly want to have more authentic relationships and live a more fulfilling and free life.
So since Libra is the sign that pulls focus from ourselves toward the consideration of others for the purpose of refining our connections, seeking more fairness, harmony and cooperation and co-creating more perfect unions, I couldn't help but feel that this insight would be useful information and inspiration when setting intentions for this Libra New Moon. Let's co-create in order to be able to more happily and freely co-exist.

Oct. 1st, 2020 - Aries Full Moon
This Aries Full Moon brings a choice between Me or Us. Independence is great and being free to do as we please when we please is great. But nobody really wins if it comes at the expense of an important relationship or damages the rights for others to do the same.
Libra season places the focus on the heart of what it means to be democratic. It isn’t about being selfish, it’s about thinking beyond yourself to include others for the purpose of everyone winning or at least having a chance to win.
So with the Moon Full in Aries at this critical time in our world it’s important to think about what independence, freedom, fairness, equality, and justice means and looks like for each of us, and the role we want to play in our relationships, families and world.
There is always room for healthy competition and teams are a part of the game of life, but when the rules are not the same for all players there is no possibility of anyone ever really winning with true honor.
The ruler of this lunar phase is Mars, the planet who loves to compete and win, and being retrograde in his home sign of Aries he is out of control and rowdier than usual. And he will not hesitate to play dirty to push his agenda.
But a square from Mars to Saturn, now direct in Capricorn, will start calling for accountability and expose the unfair hidden strategies more and more. So if you haven’t been honest or playing fair in your life, it’s a good time to lay your cards on the table, make good on your promises as part of the deal you made or make your true voice and desires heard.
Mars also makes a sextile to the North Node in Gemini which gives us a chance to think twice before acting and even maybe learn something that can actually help get you where we want to go AND give someone else the freedom to go their own way too. This could be what is mutually decided to be best for both parties.
And the most positive thing that sticks out to me about this Full Moon is a Grand Fire Trine between Mars in Aries, Venus in Leo and the North Node in Sagittarius. This energy can fuel all kinds of passions and missions that can expand our vision for a better future and provide the energy, confidence and encouragement to go after it, full force.
So acting from the heart, with kindness and integrity, and for the purpose of making honest progress that benefits more than just yourself will give us each a fighting chance to live the free and fair lives we all want most. Heartfelt, considerate, individual action can equal more freedom to pursue what you want. So let's seek common ground and play fair, so we can all consider ourselves true winners!

Sept. 17th, 2020 - Virgo New Moon
With the amount of stress so many of us are under these days, with all that’s going on and all we have to juggle, I think this Virgo New Moon brings an opportunity to rest, reset and begin again. And if you’ve been running at top speed and the Mars retrograde has only intensified this, you definitely want to put on the breaks before you hit a wall that does it for you.
This Virgo New Moon makes an Earth trine to Saturn R in Capricorn, which means improvements can be made and success ultimately reached by taking slow, steady, and small steps toward your goals each day. Virgo energy helps with discerning which skills and tools are required to do a job right and well. Capricorn is the discipline, dedication and time it will take to get the job done.
So take some time at this New Moon to organize your goals, put plans in new order, and evaluate your energy sources, health routines and skill level for doing what you need and want to do. Then set intentions based on your answers and assessment.
Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and therefore rules this Lunar cycle. And the messenger planet now in Libra is making a direct square aspect to Jupiter in Capricorn. So there will be a need here to seek balance in our efforts to ensure we can properly lay the groundwork for our new plans and really manifest the bigger picture visions for our futures.
Consider things like your budgets and spending habits, or where you might need to invest. And look to your personal and professional relationships to identify what partnerships really bring value to your life or how you might be able to collaborate to increase your chances for real growth and success. It's also a good time to remember that teamwork really does make the dream work.
Either way, taking a Virgo approach of breaking things down into practical, doable steps and moving forward at a conscious pace that works for you is key now. This can be a very productive time even with Mars in retrograde if we are able to use our energy and our time wisely and intentionally.

Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and therefore rules this Lunar cycle. And the messenger planet now in Libra is making a direct square aspect to Jupiter in Capricorn. So there will be a need here to seek balance in our efforts to ensure we can properly lay the groundwork for our new plans and really manifest the bigger picture visions for our futures.
Consider things like your budgets and spending habits, or where you might need to invest. And look to your personal and professional relationships to identify what partnerships really bring value to your life or how you might be able to collaborate to increase your chances for real growth and success. It's also a good time to remember that teamwork really does make the dream work.
Either way, taking a Virgo approach of breaking things down into practical, doable steps and moving forward at a conscious pace that works for you is key now. This can be a very productive time even with Mars in retrograde if we are able to use our energy and our time wisely and intentionally.
