The full moon in Taurus peaks on Friday, November 15th, 2024 and brings with it an energy of change yet tension around moving forward. We might feel at odds with our environment, and due to this being a super moon, our emotions are likely over-active and we may find ourselves more reactive or emotional than usual. We are meant to be letting go but the changes around us may feel uneasy and possibly overwhelming. We are essentially being torn between two realities, the one we have been traversing and the new one we find ourselves entering. Taurus guides us to ground and root into ourselves and our earth yet not to become so fixed that we cannot move with the changing winds around us. We will need to be practical and diligent to ground the electric energy of Uranus, which is making a conjunction with the moon, yet this same energy may tempt us to become stuck in our ways and resistant to where the Universe is trying to take us.

There is an energy of transformation, power, conflict and crossroads that comes along with this moon, which is opening up new beginnings in these areas for us as individuals and as a collective. This lunation might feel quite intense as there are some powerful astrological aspects and planets that are running the show. At the heart of it all, however, is the reminder that we have control over where it goes and the direction we chose to move in. Scorpio is power, transformation, truth and control. There is a need to alchemize and transform what is revealed. This is a moon that will make us work for it. Change will not just happen and we may find ourselves pushed into a corner for the sole reason of finding a way out. 

This eclipse in Libra is Venus ruled with Venus in Scorpio a part of a Grand Water trine, so the emphasis on love, fulfillment, creativity and our relationships is major. Mercury is in close conjunction with the Moon as well, putting pressure and focus on our communication. This is showing us that part of the way we move into greater harmony and love in our relationships comes from the way in which we communicate and how it is that we are allowing our mind to either support our deeper desires or where we are coming into restrictive territory with what the mind will allow us to do or be.

Commencing with this full moon, exact at 25 degrees on Tuesday September 17th, at 10:34 PM, we officially begin the shift of the nodes into the Pisces/Virgo noda axis. This is setting us up for a nodal story line (reminder, the nodes are about fate – where it is we’re going and our karmic past) that will be in play until 2026. This eclipse is giving us a sneak peak into what the year 2025 will primarily hold for us, as individuals and as a collective. There is a bunch going on with this moon, and if you too feel like I keep saying that about the lunations we have been experiencing, know that I’m not just saying it – things have been astrologically crazy for a little bit now!

The new moon in Virgo arrives Monday, September 2nd at 9:55 PM and marks the final lunation before we enter eclipse season. That means this is the last new moon to work with for manifestation for the many of us who refrain from manifesting while in the eclipse portal. This is a complex moon that is highly influenced by the shift of Pluto into Capricorn which began the day before on September 1st. Virgo as the healer and witch of the zodiac is giving us a chance to purify and organize the chaos we are bound to re-visit while Pluto closes out the past 17 years once and for all. 

On Monday, August 19th, the moon will peak, round and full, in the park of the sky known as Aquarius. This moon has quite a bit going on has a bunch of harsh aspects causing tension and frustration. We are working with a T-square with Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Venus as well as the full moon squaring off with Uranus. Topping it off, the full moon is in opposition with Mercury retrograde in Leo. However, all this tension isn't necessarily a bad thing by any means – we are dealing with Uranus energy which is prone to giving way to breakthroughs. While this moon is putting pressure on us, it is providing the tension needed to create crucial shifts that open us up to new pathways forward on an individual and collective level. 

On August 4th, we have our new moon in Leo, peaking on August 5th. This moon is well aspected with Jupiter and Mars in Gemini which are in a 5 degree conjunction and are approaching an exact conjunction on August 14th. Mercury goes retrograde hours after the new moon begins late Sunday night and Venus too is in motion, beginning this new moon in the 29th degree of Leo before switching signs on August 5th where it joins Mercury in the sign of Virgo. The north node in Aries is trine the new moon in Leo which is aligning us with our destiny and adding an element of fate.

The new moon is a time to set intention and to begin new cycles. It’s a fresh start in the middle of summer, a chance to connect with our inner voice and readjust in accordance to its desires. The signs most affected by this new moon are the cardinal signs, Cancer Libra Aries and Capricorn. This is a particularly good moon for these signs to deepen their understanding of themselves, their authentic needs and their overall emotional awareness.

Gemini is a mutable, changeable sign known for its duality, wit, curiosity, and all things related to communication and social activity. It is represented by the twins and is connected to the Lovers card in the tarot, this highlights one of the main principles of Gemini: that all others are mirrors to ourselves and that we in turn are mirrors for others. That is the primary energy we are uncovering and learning through this new moon with Venus, planet of relationships and values, taking center stage.

If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that lately Jupiter has been doing the most, and this moon is no exception. Not only is Jupiter the ruling planet of Sagittarius, making it the ruling planet of this moon, but transit Jupiter is making some big moves in our sky right now. The most significant and exciting is the Venus Jupiter conjunction that is taking place today, at the start of the full moon.

Today, May 18th 2024 is the Juptier cazimi, making today the luckiest day of the year – astrologically speaking, that is. The Jupiter cazimi is often referred to as the “day of miracles,” since Jupiter is the planet of luck, fortune and blessings. All of this happening in the sign of Taurus is very sweet indeed, as Taurus, with Venus as her ruler, is a natural sign for Jupiter to flourish in. This could bring luck and blessings to us through our relationships, matters of love, harmony and fulfillment as well as beauty, art and the values of reliability and sustained effort over time for lasting growth. 

The Scorpio full moon is working with the larger cycle that began on the Aries total eclipse and peaked on the Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Taurus. Here's how the first full moon since the eclipse is connected to the two biggest astrological events we have seen so far this year: 

The conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Uranus in the sign of Taurus is a once in a lifetime transit that we will be experiencing for the next 3 weeks. The peak will take place on Saturday, April 20th where Jupiter and Uranus will be meeting up at 21 degrees Taurus. 

A significant aspect of this eclipse has to do with another conjunction, and that is the exact conjunction with Chriron. By exact, I mean literally exact down to the degree and minutes. This is all happening at 19 degrees in Aries, so check out your birth chart to see what's there. For me, ironically, (or rather, serendipitously perhaps) Saturn is in Aries at 19 degrees in my birth chart. 

A blood moon eclipse in Libra turned the sky red in the early, dark hours of this morning, Monday 25th of March. The eclipse portal has begun, for the next two weeks fate and destiny are the main players of the cosmic show.

The question we are meant to ask ourselves is: what needs to be let go? This eclipse is circling back to 6 months ago when we had the last eclipse in Libra. Then, the Sun was in Libra, a place where that planet struggles and its ruler, Venus, was also debilitated by its stay in Virgo at the time. This made the last eclipse more challenging compared to this one. We might have a better chance now to let go of what came up and clear it out. 

The last full moon before the start of eclipse season is arriving this Saturday the 24th of February. We have officially crossed the portal from Aquarius season into Pisces season, making the near end of a year-long zodiac cycle.

If you were born between 1996-2003 you will be activated by Pluto in Aquarius for the next 20 years as Pluto makes a conjunction to your natal Uranus. This is our generation's time to come to the forefront of this moment and share our unique perspective. Major reforms are possible from both an individual and collective level.

On November 13th, the new moon will peak in the part of the sky known as Scorpio. This is a powerful new moon for a number of reasons, the first being that this is the first new moon since eclipse season. We are officially out of the frying pan, but not the fire, and are being asked to continue working with what we learned or discovered during the last month. Many of us took a break from our manifesting practices and can now resume our new moon rituals, and, as I’ll explain, this is a great moon in particular to manifest with.
