Sunday inspiration: Sharpen your resolve at the Libra eclipse

Eclipses can be somewhat revelatory – they sometimes act to bring something out into the open which has been concealed. The lunar eclipse on Monday March 25 is a partial eclipse because it is 10 degrees from the lunar nodes of fate, but we will still notice the eclipse effects of magnification and revelation.

The fact that the Aries Sun eclipses the Libra Moon at the time of the equinox, with the Sun newly in Aries, amplifies the focus on the Will. Aries, ruled by Mars, can be seen as pure “id” – […]

Focus the laser of intention at the November Scorpio New SuperMoon

artist unknown

The Scorpio New Moon occurs November 4, 2021, at 5:14 pm EDT (9:14 pm UTC) and is a SuperMoon. Yes, New Moons can be SuperMoons too! A SuperMoon (© Richard Nolle) is a New or Full Moon (syzygy) that is at its closest point (perigee) to Earth. SuperMoons exert a more powerful effect on ocean tides and geocosmic events such as earthquakes and volcanoes, and can also exert a stronger effect on the tides of our own emotions. That is especially true for people that are […]

The power of Will at the Aries Full Moon

In lieu of the weekly forecast this week since I’m out of the country, this post on the Full Moon energies pretty much contains all of the energies for the week!

The Aries Full Moon occurs on October 20th, and it’s a potent one. First of all, it’s in Aries so Mars is the planetary ruler and there is a fiery potency to all things at this time. Mars, ruler of this Full Moon, is very closely conjunct the Libra Sun and approaching a challenging square to Pluto which […]

The power of this Libra New Moon for change and healing

The easy astrological times are not always the times when change and evolution can take place – sometimes these changes take an astrological punch, and that is what we have under this Libra New Moon. Libra is considered to be a somewhat “soft” sign – often polite and tactful, Libra urges us to relate to others, find ways to compromise, and balance opposing viewpoints with ease. Libra is ruled by Venus after all, and Venus is the Goddess of Love and Beauty…or so we like to think.

The Venus archetype comes to us […]

A new and improved beginning for the Virgo New Moon

by Lynn Hayes. At the New Moon the energy of the Sun and Moon unite in a burst of enthusiasm, and each month as the New Moon progresses through the signs we have an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the principles of each sign in sequence. This year’s Virgo New Moon takes place September 6 at 8:51 pm Eastern time, taking us from the Leo quest for personal satisfaction to a renewed desire to serve and perfect the human experience. Under Virgo’s vision we are able to see where various […]

The second Aquarius Full Moon in 2021

art by Wendy Andrews

It is rare to have two Full Moons in one sign (sometimes called a Blue Moon, hence the expression “Once in a Blue Moon”). Since the Full Moons occur approximately 28-29 degrees apart, this only happens when the first Full Moon is at the first degree of a sign, and the second at the last. The Moon entered Aquarius on Friday and began the crescendo to the explosion of energies at the Full Moon, the exact opposition from the Sun in Leo to the […]

The sparkle of this week’s Leo New Moon

artist unknown?

by Lynn Hayes The next few days offer an opportunity for the heart to open as the Sun and Moon align in Leo, a kiss of magic to open up the heart. The energy of Leo encourages us to return to the simplicity of childhood – to witness and find joy in the simplest things and share that joy with others.

While the Sun represents the physical heart, the Moon represents the emotional heart. How we protect ourselves, how we express our feelings, the level of comfort we feel with the […]

7.23.21 – The meaning of the first of two Aquarius Full Moons

artist unknown

The Full Moon in Aquarius at 10:36 pm EDT on July 23, 2021 is the first of two Aquarius Full Moons in 2021 – the second one will occur on August 23rd. Today’s Full Moon is at 1 degree Aquarius – the instigation and inception of the new sign, with the Sun having just left Cancer for Leo. There is a sense of new possibilities and something just beginning to blossom. The second Aquarius Full Moon will be at 29 degrees, the critical degree of a last ditch effort to […]

7.9.21 – The New Moon in Cancer brings the heart into focus

art by Jessica Durant

The New Moon offers an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and begin anew, and in Cancer we find ourselves discovering a depth of emotion that we may have ignored in the past: the heart of wisdom. Ruled by the Moon itself, Cancer rules the inner world – our feelings, our desire to nurture and be cared for, our tribal identifications such as to family or country. The heart connection forged by the sign of Cancer brings us more deeply into self-awareness and connection, which […]

An important astrological week: Capricorn Full Moon, and much more

Today’s Capricorn Full Moon is being advertised in mainstream hype as a SuperMoon but it doesn’t technically meet the standards set by Richard Nolle who came up with that term in the 1970s as a way to describe a lunation, or syzygy, which was at its closest point to Earth and therefore more powerful. At any rate, this Full Moon is powerful in its own right.

At a Capricorn Full Moon we find ourselves at the balance point of the Capricorn/Cancer polarity. The Sun is in Cancer, filtering our outer experiences through […]
