emotionally intense……. The New Moon will occur at 2°47’ Cancer, a Cardinal, Water sign, ruled by the Moon itself. New Moons are the moment we set our intentions for the month ahead regarding the house where the New Moon falls in our chart but we now have four of ten planets transiting in this sign making it a very emotionally energetic period particularly for the Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Raven Kaldera in his book “Moon Phases” calls this the “Daughter’s Moon” and likens it to the myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone who was abducted[...]
I see me but I see you too…… Neptune starts his yearly 5-month long retrograde season at 14°16’ in his home sign of Pisces where he has been transiting since 2011-2012, he will station direct once again at 11°27’ Pisces on 22nd November this year. This transit will activate planets or angles between 16-10° of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces). Also worth noting the antiscion degree of the retrograde station at 15°44’ Libra since any planets or angles on this degree will also be involved at the beginning of the period. Alan Leo in his book “The Art [...]
this could be a stark reality check….. There will be a full Moon at 18°53’ of Sagittarius, a mutable Fire sign. The Sagittarius Moon is usually a jovial, quest-searching entity that desires, above all, truth and something to believe in. It also loves freedom and is easily motivated. Full Moons are times of harvest, the climax of the lunar cycle when energy is at its topmost…and we would do well to recognize this fact…that it can’t get any better (or worse) than this regarding whatever intentions we set on the previous New Moon. Since Full Moons occur when the Sun and Moon [...]
…the great escape? We associate Jupiter, the first of the “superior” or outer planets (affecting the collective rather than the personal) with growth, expansion and luck which, if exaggerated, can also lead to greed and dissatisfaction in some cases, making us believe that the grass is greener elsewhere and so prompting us to explore further. Jupiter has been transiting the sign of Libra since September 2016. Libra is about connection and relationships, it is ruled by a rather extrovert version of Venus (who also rules the more pragmatic Taurus) so it also has to do with [...]
