FULL MOON IN LIBRA ON 5-6 APRIL 2023 Is it “me” time or “we” time? The Full Moon will occur at 16°07’ Libra (antiscion 13°53’ Pisces), a Cardinal, Air sign ruled by Venus. Full Moons are when matters climax, they are “now or never” moments regarding any projects we have initiated, or intentions set at the preceding New Moon fourteen days ago. This Full Moon chart is well balanced as far as Modality is concerned with 4 planets in the Fixed signs, 4 in the Cardinal and 2 in the Mutable. The same is true also for the Elements, with 3 planets in Earth, 2 in Air, 3 in [...]
FULL MOON IN VIRGO 7 MARCH 2023 Don’t get too wrapped up in the details... This Full Moon will occur at 16°40’ Virgo (antiscion 13°20’ Aries). Moon’s dispositor Mercury entered the sign of Pisces only 5 days ago and Saturn will change signs to enter Pisces less than an hour after this Full Moon. While the Elements in this lunation are well-balanced, there is a heavy Mutable emphasis denoting restlessness and the desire to rush into the “what’s next” regardless. Mercury, dispositor of this detail-oriented Moon and in the early degrees of sign of Pisces, has just [...]
FULL MOON IN LEO The “ME” Moon There will be a Full Moon at 16°40’ Leo (antiscion 13°20’ Taurus) which will be making a square aspect to the Lunar Eclipse at 16° Taurus last November. According to Bernadette Brady this eclipse had “A maniacal flavour and a great show of force in order to take power.” Leo is a Fixed, Fire sign. In traditional astrology Leo governs the 5th house, so this Full Moon operates on the 5th-11th house axis (Leo-Aquarius): the things we create for our own personal satisfaction (including our children) vs our group efforts, the artist vs the [...]
OOB FULL MOON IN CANCER the mooniest Moon…. The Full Moon will occur at 16°21’ Cancer, a Cardinal, Water sign (antiscion 13°39’ Gemini) and will be the first Full Moon of this new year. The most motherly of Moons opposes the sternest and most fatherly of Suns. Capricorn restricts and downsizes, and this could bring out the worst of Cancer characteristics making us retreat into our shells as we cling to the familiar. Let’s remember that we need our Earth qualities in order to remain grounded, but we also need give space to our fantasies if we want them to fly. As always, [...]
The spookiest night with a Full Moon to light up the hidden corners so that we can see the Uranus surprises even better! The Full Moon will take place at 8°38’ Taurus (antisicion 21°22’ Leo) and will be in an almost exact (to the minute) conjunction with retrograde Uranus. It’s the second Full Moon in a calendar month (October) and as such is known as a “Blue” Moon. The lunation chart is another of those heavy in Earth elements and Cardinal modes so we should be acting with our heads on our shoulders so to speak, moving forward with sense and practicality. It falls on the [...]
The three S’s…Saturn, static and startling! There will be a Full Moon at 11°45’ Aquarius (antiscion 18°15’ Scorpio) which will form a separating Fixed modality T-square with transiting Uranus in Taurus, modern ruler of the Moon. Fixed energy is static yet by nature both the Moon and Uranus are volatile planets so we might expect some shocks as the energy tries to free itself. The main concern with the strong Uranian energy in this chart may be the research and discovery of new forms of social service or innovative and creative technologies which will help us to develop more [...]
It’s a repeating theme…. This is the last of this year’s Summer eclipses and will be visible from South/West Europe, much of Africa, much of North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Antarctica* see link in the bibliography. The OOB Moon is in its detriment at 13°37’ Capricorn (antiscion 16°23’ Sagittarius) with its retrograde ruler Saturn just having re-entered the sign. The Sun is at 13°37’ Cancer in the sign of the Moon and is separating from retrograde Mercury, both planets oppose by sign, but not by degree, the stellium of planets in Capricorn [...]
…. Less me and more we? Early morning (GMT) on the 21st January there will be the first Lunar Eclipse of 2019 at 00°52’ in the fiery sign of Leo, the “look at me and respect me” sign whilst the Sun in Aquarius encourages us to take a less egoistical view of the world. It will be the first of three super Moons in a row since it is at its closest to the Earth during these lunar phases, it will also be the last eclipse along the Leo-Aquarius axis, the next ones will start in 2036. The last lunar eclipse* around this degree was at 01° Leo on January 21st 2000. What was happening [...]
