On Wednesday, May 26th at 7:14am EDT, a powerful Full Moon in 5.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. This is a Total Lunar Eclipse of a SuperMoon (i.e., the Moon is closer to the Earth than normal) and as such, this Full Moon’s energy is unusually intense.
Even apart from that, there is a lot to cover with this Eclipse — it is connected to a mutable T-square, with Jupiter as the Focal Point, and it has two Stationing planets: Saturn in Aquarius & Mercury in Gemini!
If you are already a Member of my online community, you can learn more about this month’s Super Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse by clicking here to watch my video
Lunar Eclipses direct our attention to whatever needs to be integrated and balanced, both on the collective and individual levels, over a longer period of time (usually 6 months). Get ready for some big shifts in your life, especially around your relationship with your own belief structures, and around your ability to learn, remain adaptable, and use your “day-to-day mind” intelligently.
Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so keep in mind: Eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul’s path.
This is the second Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius since the Moon Nodes moved into Gemini/Sagittarius back on May 5th, 2020 — and the Moon Nodes play a crucial role during Eclipses! Feel free to also check out my webinar on those Moon Nodes (if you haven’t seen it yet). We talk about the connection to our own birth charts… and it’s currently available at a discount!
The last Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius in the same degree as this one was on May 26th, 2002… Think back to that time: What shifts in perspective happened then? What is possible now?
Let’s take a closer look at this Lunar Eclipse:
The Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius (which is itself aligned with the South Node) is making an opposition to the Sun in curious, quick-witted, versatile Gemini (which is aligned in turn with the North Node).
Full Moons balance two opposing archetypes, and reconcile their Shadow sides — in this instance, Gemini deals with information, intelligence, and communication, while Sagittarius is concerned with meaning, truth, and wisdom.
The Shadow side of Gemini brings…

The Shadow side of Gemini brings tons of data but no depth of understanding. It can be scattered-brained, talk without listening, randomly chatter, and allow mind to dominate body, heart, and soul.
Ask yourself: What is the difference between information and interpretation? What might change for me if I questioned my assumptions? Questioned what I think I know? Who I think I am? Why things are the way they are? What new information might I spot if I stepped back and took a wider view? Could I bring 5% more depth and understanding to the information I engage with and share?
The Shadow side of Sagittarius gets stuck in destructive ruts of dogmatism, entitlement, and excesses of all kinds. We get attached to our belief systems and the stories we tell ourselves about life — and therefore also become self-righteous, perhaps even persecute those who differ in their point of view. We also tend to have difficulty dealing with emotions and commitment.
Ask yourself: How could I be 5% more aware of any dogmatic thinking? Of any hypocritical behaviors? What could I do to keep the focus on myself when investigating those things?
Now, how do we integrate Sagittarius with Gemini?
The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity has to do with our ability to connect thoughts and language with higher meaning or wider perspectives — in other words, logical, curious, and expansive thinking.
Ask yourself:Â What do I already know? What reactions come from my cultural conditioning? What needs a new exploration on my part? Where do I feel particularly impatient or easily become annoyed? Where do I insist on “being right”? How might a dose of curiosity and open-mindedness support a larger exploration of life?
Given we have the South Node in Sagittarius until Jan. 2022, we are invited to become more aware of these Shadow issues, and move into a higher/lighter vibration of this sign. The best way to do this is via the higher/lighter vibration of Gemini. The current placement of the North Node in Gemini invites us to make an effort to work with the Gemini archetype as much as possible.
Given that, let’s take a look at Gemini: at its highest vibration, this sign helps us stay connected to our immediate environment and “day-to-day mind” — processing and sharing as much information as we can, as quickly as possible — it extends an invitation to stay curious, indeed to constantly look for ways to learn what we need, so we can connect all the dots and communicate intelligently.
Ask yourself: What would help me stay open-minded over the next 8 months? What if I were 5% more willing to incorporate new information? What difference might listening 5% more deeply make? What if I made 5% more effort to communicate clearly?
It’s important to realize that the Sagittarian urge to “go beyond” is essential for our growth; when it comes to balancing these energies, that same urge can play a crucial role in how we interact with others and share information — in other words, the Gemini energy.
At its highest vibration, Sagittarius shows us a wider perspective, one that has us looking beyond facts and learned knowledge, to our direct life experiences and the wisdom gained thereby. It’s all about seeking a higher truth, and a higher meaning for life’s challenges — in other words, a philosophy that would help us understand life’s trials and tribulations.
Ask yourself: How can I best apply my wisdom at this time? How might I show my tolerance towards others? Towards life itself? Might a tablespoon of faith support me at this time?
Now, let’s talk about some of the aspects of this Lunar Eclipse chart:
Not only are the Moon Nodes conjunct with the Full Moon — which is natural, given that this is an Eclipse — but we also have a Mercury-Venus alignment in Gemini that makes a wide conjunction with the North Node. This asks us to put effort into connecting and communicating with others. The same is true when it comes to thinking about what is most valuable to our thinking processes.
Here are some good questions to ask ourselves: What do we enjoy hearing about? Talking about? Learning about? Could we honor our thoughts just 5% more, just for a little while?
We are also invited to take a closer look at any values and relationships we want to connect with or learn more about. Since we are in the process of becoming aware of what we value most, we can more easily see now if things are in alignment with how we think, and what we communicate.
Ask yourself:Â If I am completely honest with myself, what do I hear when I actually listen to my inner dialog about relationships? What do I tell myself about my interactions with others? What’s my relationship with my Self and my own resources (money, talent, ability, etc.)? What do I need to learn or question to achieve greater alignment with myself and others?
Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, has just started its first pass through Pisces — and is now the focal point of a T-square involving the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Gemini.
This is an invitation to to ask ourselves these questions: How do we use our optimism and generous spirit? Are we exhausting ourselves? Could our beliefs be placed in service to our Higher Self? Could our desire for personal growth and opportunities be guided 5% more from an intuitive place?
What might be possible if we kept an open mind and curiously investigated our options? What if we asked ourselves on a daily basis, before making an assumption or jumping to conclusions: “Is this in the best and highest interest of all concerned, myself included?”
Given that the empty leg of this T-square lands in Virgo, we are invited to bring faith and optimism to our daily work routines — and to make choices from a place of discernment (i.e. neutral clarity), rather than from a place of judgment.
Ask yourself: What might I experience if I released all judgment towards social conditioning? What might become possible if I embraced my intuition and generosity on a daily basis? How might a holistic approach or attitude serve me at this time? Could I be kind, loving, and discerning at the same time? What might I discover if I made a list of pros and cons before making any choices?
We will talk in more detail about Jupiter’s first pass through Pisces on May 28th, in my next Forecasting Forum â and in particular, how all of this impacts our own birth charts. Register here to join us live or get the mp4-video recording after May 28th. There will also be an Early Bird Special available until May 25th at midnight EDT.
The Moon in Sagittarius forms a Trine to Chiron in Aries. This makes it easier to explore new healing modalities for body, mind, and heart, all aimed at renewing our enthusiasm for life. We are capable of being compassionate and forgiving with ourselves at this time — and a gentle and holistic approach is best.
Ask yourself:Â What nurtures my body? My mind? My Soul? Are there any healing modalities I’ve been wanting to explore? Am I ready to go for it?
Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is in 24 degrees of Gemini at the time of the Super Full Moon. It is stationing in preparation for its second Retrograde phase of the year, and thus is exalted. It also quincunxes Pluto in Capricorn, squares Neptune in Pisces, and aligns with Venus in Gemini. Let’s unpack all that:
Mercury’s Quincunx to Pluto in Capricorn invites us to clarify our true motivations and deal with any underlying fears that are blocking us — and as best as we can, to drop any self-judgment.
Ask yourself:Â Am I after quick, superficial exchanges? Or intense and authentic connection to what I am building long-term? When it comes to the latter: what am I most afraid of? How might I best build empowerment out there in the world?
Mercury’s Square to Neptune in Pisces invites us to have faith, go with the flow, and let our intuition guide us when it comes to our communications and mental exchanges — and if we are able do so, we will grow.
As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others — and watch out for any tendency to make hasty decisions or to be naĂŻve about something you hear or read.
We also might look for some vision, ideal, or dream to motivate us or stir our imagination. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.
Ask yourself: Before moving forward with a communication or decision, could I tune in and get really clear about my energy body, and what is needed in this current moment? What if I granted 5% more trust to my inner guidance? What might I hear if I listened 5% more closely to the subtle messages of my divine nature?
We also tend to feel scattered at this time. Should you observe that in yourself, try asking: What might happen if I slowed down and listened to my intuition instead of letting my mind run?
Saturn in Aquarius is still exalted (due to its Station phase) at the time of the Lunar Eclipse — even though already Retrograde — in this exalted state, it trines the North Node in Gemini, sextiles Chiron in Aries, and remains in a Square with Uranus in Taurus. Let’s unpack all of that:
Saturn’s Retrograde motion points to the fact that inner changes must be made before outer forms can shift. It may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves and check in frequently with our inner compass.
Ask yourself:Â If I check in with myself, what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to my social or political affiliations or networks? If I am completely honest with myself, is there anything that calls for a reassessment on my part?
Saturn’s Trine to the North Node in Gemini invites us to focus on solid and realistic ideas and concepts that serve us long-term.
Ask yourself: How might curiosity and an open mind lead to more sustainable solutions for my communities? What might I share with “my people” if I wanted to manifest something that would last and be sustainable for all involved? What might “responsible sharing” look like? What could I teach or learn that could have a long-term impact for me and my communities?
Saturn’s Sextile to Chiron in Aries presents an opportunity to connect with others responsibly and engage in a healing process that can bring progress in our various communities — maybe even worldwide.
Ask yourself:Â Could I allow myself and others to be human? What if my personal limitations were my main drivers for taking creative or unusual approaches? If that were true, would I be willing to commit myself 5% more to learning more about my limitations (without judgment)? What might be possible if I allowed myself to let go of regrets, and focused instead on what works and what doesn’t for me today?
Lastly, let me just mention some aspects involving Mars in Cancer:
Mars opposes Pluto in Capricorn and trines Neptune in Pisces. The opposition with Pluto requires a deep dive into our unconscious around the masculine energy and our need for safety.
Ask yourself:Â What is my motivation around achieving something out there in the world? How about at home? What might a balance between home/family and career/long-term goals look like for me? How might a deep focus on self-care or emotional authenticity serve me at this time? What needs to transform so I can feel more empowered?
We may have feelings connected to past experiences with the masculine energy; Mars’ Trine to Neptune can help us let go of any such feelings that we are ready to release.
Ask yourself: What is ready to be released at this time? Where do I sense emotional blockages? How might a good dose of love and forgiveness support me with this? Could I perhaps tap into my heart energies 5% more to get a sense that “everything will turn out just as it needs to”?
To sum it all up for this Lunar Eclipse: This powerful Super Full Moon highlights the power of perspective — what we see depends on where we stand, literally and figuratively. Gemini & Sagittarius are both extroverted, social signs, yet Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces, as well as Mars in Cancer in this Lunar Eclipse chart promote our connection to the feminine energies within us (this is true for both our physical body and our feeling-body).
If something resonates with you, it means it is aligned with your energy, so move toward that which resonates, and away from that which does not. There’s no need for “judgement” here, simply listen to your physical body and your feeling body, heed your inner guidance, and ask yourself: Where have I been getting drained? Where do I get recharged?
Where lies the path of least resistance towards myself? What assumptions are holding me back? What role does my thinking play in all of this?
The next 6 months require some adjustments: on the one hand, there is a desire to go within and get quiet â and on the other, a need to expand our horizons and learn more about life and our day-to-day interactions. We are also invited to focus both on nurturing the mind and on staying in touch with our feeling-body.
As best as you can, stay as open-minded as possible — nothing will be gained by clinging to the past or insisting on your truth being “the” truth. Infuse your daily routines with a heart-centered attitude that promotes health: If you are able, go for walks in nature, take yoga classes, practice walking meditations, or dance and sing or chant your way through the living room…
It’s best for us to move forward slowly but surely, knowing all the while that our sense of balance must come from within, staying rooted in the inner knowing that all is well.
Ask yourself: What kind of experiences outside of my everyday routine might widen my perspective and understanding of life? Who supports my journey towards greater self-realization? What or who “feeds” me? Could I allow those connections to grow stronger and more meaningful?
Remember:Eclipses bring a strong focus to endings and beginnings — they push us forward in our evolution and connect us more fully to our Soulâs Journey. As best as you can, trust that whatever is leaving or falling apart is making way for something better — the more open we are to change, the easier it will be to go to the next level.

Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5Âș orb instead of 2Âș… so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 5.5Âș of Sagittarius:
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-11 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Super Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

On Nov. 15th at 12:07am EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 23 degrees of Scorpio, beginning a new Moon cycle. This New Moon brings us closer to the beginning of Eclipse season, which starts on Nov. 20th — my next Full Moon video will be about the Lunar Eclipse in Gemini.
This New Moon is also a SuperMoon. “SuperMoons” occur when the Moon becomes either Full or New while unusually close to the Earth and are therefore more powerful. They generate greater gravitational and electromagnetic forces and therefore increased effects on our physical, mental, and emotional bodies. This also facilitates greater shifts in consciousness. This is the third of three Super New Moons in a row.
With the Super New Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, our focus is directed to our intimate relationships, and our deepest desires and fears; if you’d like to learn more about this Lunation,check out my video on the subject, here
Scorpio is the second water sign of the zodiac, so it relates not only to the depths of our own psyche, but also to the ecstasies and traumas of relationships. Before we jump in and talk about the Scorpio energy and how to understand it better and connect to it, let me mention that with this Super New Moon we are also dealing with two exalted planets, both moving much slower at this time:
Mars, the traditional ruler of Scorpio, is currently in Aries and still exalted due to its station; it just started to change directions again on Nov. 13th (ending its 9-week Retrograde phase) — and Neptune is also exalted over the next several weeks, as it is preparing to end its 5-months Retrograde phase — for more on those planetary movements, in connection with our own birth charts, get the “Mars in Aries & Neptune in Pisces Exalted”. Click here to purchase this 99min. webinar (if you haven’t seen it yet).
Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Nov. 8th late evening đ
In connection with Mars, ask yourself: What has come up for me since July 25th around self-identity, aggression, or personal passions? What, if anything, have I already revised, reprocessed, or redone since Mars went retrograde back on Sept. 9th? How will this new connection to myself, and the things I identify with, impact the next steps in my life?
In connection with Neptune, ask yourself: What have I learned since June 23rd about trusting the flow of life and my intuitive voice? My intuitive sensing? How might this understanding help me interact more from a “loving heart”? How might this impact our moving forward collectively?
The gift of compassion and forgiveness, the gift of an open heart that seeks to understand, is our gift to the world and to the collective journey — even when it is so hard sometimes to wrap our minds around how others react or behave in certain situations.
The Station phase of Neptune allows us to fully see how an open, forgiving heart can shift our experience and our interactions with others; ask yourself: What’s in my present awareness? What asks for my attention when it comes to resting, trusting, and allowing?
What’s confronting me around a long-term dream of mine? When I tune into myself, what do I feel connected to? What if I tune into life itself?
Neptune in Pisces has been in a Square to the current Moon Nodes in Gemini-Sagittarius since mid-September 2020, and this will continue until late February 2021. Its current Station phase will give this Square more weight between Nov. 12th and December 18th.
Notice when your busy mind distracts you from the present moment, when your beliefs or assumptions take you on a detour, away from what you are sense is true in this moment, and when “being right” becomes more important than “being connected” or “coming from a whole-heart”.
When you notice any of the above, ask yourself: How might a moment of silence bring me back to what’s here now? Might it allow me to drop back into my heart? Might it support me in finding a heart-connection with myself and others?
Now, let’s talk about Scorpio and some of the other aspects in this New Moon chart: Scorpio is associated with…

Now, let’s talk about Scorpio and some of the other aspects in this New Moon chart: Scorpio is associated with three creatures: the Scorpion (a solitary creature symbolizing self-protection and instinctive desire), the Eagle (who has a wider awareness and control over its desires), and the Dove (who has transcended personal desire and brings peace and healing to others).
Ask yourself: What am I gifted when I face my deepest fears? What if there was always only transformation as a result of going deeper, towards what scares me the most, never an actual death of any kind?
What if a journey through the valley of darkness led ultimately to my standing in my true power? How might surrender, trust in a higher power, and letting go of resentment & fear give me a better understanding of peace, authentic connection, & inner strength?
Scorpio also deals with our Shadow issues. The “Shadow” is all the suppressed, denied, or undeveloped qualities of our personality — and wherever we have yet to fully integrate these disowned aspects, we feel disempowered, and are left vulnerable to manipulation or domination.
Furthermore, what we reject in ourselves, we often project onto others — for example, we may experience the “shadow” of rage as explosions with others or implosions within ourselves. That which we disown, owns us; whatever we resist, persists. So, what Shadow issues need to be addressed over the next four weeks? What benefits might I reap when I transmute my Shadow issues?
Here are some questions to help you reclaim your projections: Who really bothers me “out there” in the world? Who do I love to hate? What specifically bothers me about them?
Some more questions in the same spirit: Who do I admire and why? What scares me most about myself? What recurring, uncomfortable, or scary dreams (or daydreams) do I have? What do I love to joke about that feels just a little uncomfortable?
Noticing our own desires, fears, or sense of humor is important, because the Shadow also makes itself visible through those.
This Super New Moon trines the exalted Neptune in Pisces. This makes it easier for us to trust, and to flow with energy currents, rather than struggle against them. It also makes it easier to release past traumas, or emotional attachments that no longer serve us — respectively keeping us in a lower vibrational place.
Ask yourself: What traumas from my past are asking to be released? What if I took a closer look at some old resentments, fears, and misperceptions? If I gave those difficult experiences my conscious awareness, my love and spoke the truth about them might this dispel any darkness I still feel around? Where could I allow myself to open myself up emotionally?
What am I afraid would happen if I let go of needing to be in control? What am I afraid of happening if I completely surrender to Life? To Love? If “out of control” was simply a matter of perspective would I still resist it? Would I dare to embrace it? Could I trust, just for right now, that there is always a “bigger” plan at play? Could I simply ask my Higher Self to support me in letting things unfold for the highest good of everyone involved — rather than assuming I know what that might be?
This Super New Moon also sextiles the Jupiter-Pluto-Saturn alignment in Capricorn. The Sextile to this alignment gives us an opportunity to deepen our authentic connection to our long-term commitments. We are invited to cut out anything that is toxic and step into a more empowered experience socially — including how we want to be seen out there in the world. We are invited to let go of fears connected to our long-term goals.
Ask yourself: What needs a closer look (and deep honesty with myself) when it comes to my long-term goals or achievements? What serves me long-term? What empowers me and is sustainable?
In what area of my life do I still not feel fully empowered? What needs to be addressed and brought up into full consciousness in order to get to a place of emotional authenticity with myself and the world?
What scares me the most about this process? What if I had the courage to do it in spite of all my fears or concerns? What would that look like? What would be the first small step towards my own empowerment in the world?
Where are my opportunities for making long-term commitments in connection with intimate relationships or shared resources? What emotionally authentic connections do I need to make to smooth the path right now?
This aspect also supports our moving from survival mode to a passionate engagement with life and the society we belong to. A passionate approach is key here, but surprisingly perhaps, so is empowering others.
Ask yourself: Is it at least possible that a trusting, emotional connection with others might create more authentic and passionate engagement around what I’m building for the long-term? What might transform if I focused 5% more on what I actually have control over? What roles do self-responsibility, realistic self-assessment, and healthy boundaries play in all of this?
As mentioned earlier in this article, Mars, the traditional ruler of Scorpio, is currently in Aries and is still exalted, due to its Station phase. Mars changes directions on Nov. 13th and feels exalted until Nov. 23rd. This makes for a very active time, but it could also bring up impatience, frustration, impulsiveness, and aggression.
As best as you can, be mindful how you are relating to this exalted energy within you and channel it in healthy ways: Exercise, take actions that feel empowering to yourself and others, don’t rush into doing anything when you are feeling emotionally aroused, instead take a deep breath and talk about what you would like to do, or journal on it first, etc.
When feeling aroused or impatient, ask yourself: Does this definitely need to happen now? Does this action support everyone involved? Is the outcome of this action beneficial to me in the long-run? Who could I talk to about my current frustrations? What might support me in releasing some of these energies without causing any harm to anyone (myself included)?

Mercury in Scorpio makes an Opposition to Uranus in Taurus, and a Quincunx to Chiron in Aries. The Mercury/Uranus Opposition may heighten the issue of projections. Uranus is the archetype of revolutionary change, daring us to think way, way outside of the box; it breaks up old forms and patterns, forcing us to re-form and re-envision.
We may find that we disagree with other people’s values. We may be restless, even anxious, and therefore feel pressure to act (or react), regarding others — these feelings could also be connected to financial decisions or partnerships.
If you experience fear or uncertainty in any of your relationships or partnerships, focus on something you could really get excited about and get behind in a realistic, grounded way — something that could make a difference, something meaningful. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.
If you get entangled in controversy, ask yourself: How open-minded and flexible could I allow myself to be right now? What alternative tool might provide me greater freedom or diversity (financially or otherwise)? How could being emotionally truthful with myself and others — despite my fears — create a shift?
Also, if empowerment only existed in the “now moment”, could I surrender my fears or concerns connected to the past or the future, and simply be present in the here and now? What if I trusted my Higher Self enough to release any suspicious, fearful, or protective thoughts that may arise?
Check to see: If I don’t go into memory or possible futures, am I ok right now? If I am, is it at least possible that I will be ok in the next moment? And the next?
Mercury is still in its Shadow phaseuntil Nov. 19th, so use this time to talk about things that may have come up during the Mercury Retrograde phase (Oct. 13th – Nov. 3rd).
Mercury in Scorpio quincunxes Chiron in Aries: This could create mental insecurities, leading to some unexpected emotional reactions; as best as you can, forgive yourself for having a human moment — this will support your healing process.
This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something… so, as best as you can, be kind and compassionate to yourself. The best way to deal with Quincunxes is not to keep looking for the exact solution, but to keep looking for ways to feel ok when things are not an exact match, or something is uncomfortable.
Check to see:Â Do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and witnessed?
Check to see if you are maybe revisiting themes that came up around Oct. 4th and Oct. 22nd.
Ask yourself:Â What was present in my life at that time? How would I characterize my relationship with the active/masculine energies within or around me back then? Did I have any realizations about my body? My intimate relationships? My personal goals?
What was my understanding of what needed further healing/compassion or self-forgiveness? What still does? Could I hang out with any discomfort this is stirring up inside of me, just for right now?
Last but not least, let’s talk about Venus in Libra making an exact Square to Pluto in Capricorn. Since Pluto (the modern ruler of Scorpio) is currently closely aligned with Jupiter and Saturn, Venus ultimately squares that whole line-up in Capricorn.
Venus represents our relationships and that which we most value. This Square challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense; as best you can, empower rather than disempower. It’s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections.
Ask yourself:Â How can I grow and evolve in my relationships? Is there a relationship that I need to grow and evolve out of?
As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded, and of course, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength & empowerment.
To sum it all up for this Super New Moon: Being open to trusting the process and going with the flow are key! Most of our lives are shaped by fears: too much of something, not enough of something else, not being loved, not being liked, being judged, rejected, the experience of physical or emotional pain, loss, death, etc.
Scorpio territory is not easy. Facing our deepest feelings and fears, confronting our demons and our death is the most difficult work we will ever do. But the rewards it brings — inner peace, freedom, and wholeness — make it all worth it.
This Super New Moon in Scorpio invites us to let go of whatever is dead (or toxic). Often, this is connected to past disempowerment — fears based either on “what was”, or on a possible future in which we would not be ok — and all this can be scary and stir up the desire for control. The survival brain thinks that control brings power, certainty, stability… but it’s all an illusion based in fear.
Remember: “Fear” is resistance to life, whereas “Love” is acceptance of life in all its forms: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Ask yourself: As best as I can, could I acknowledge any self-resistance? Resistance toward others? To life itself? And, just for right now, could I simply let go of wanting to resist what is? Could I set all inner tension free… just as best as I can… just for right now… just as an experiment in freedom?
The key is to realize that “letting go” is not about loss, but about transformation — and, ultimately, about feeling empowered, since every ending is also a new beginning.
Trust also plays a big part here, just as it does in all our intimate relationships and authentic connections — and trust, whether in ourselves or with others, is something that develops over time — and for those of us who have experienced traumatic events or circumstances, this process can take a little longer.
Ask yourself: What if true intimacy with another is only possible when I allow for the full range of emotions? What if my capacity for love and joy grew exponentially in relation to my ability to embrace my fears and pain?
Again, flexibility and open-mindedness will definitely help for the next 28 days. Embracing our humanity and practicing self-compassion, especially around our inner processes and limitations, provides an opportunity for healing.

[/wcm_restrict] Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 21-25 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase. So this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 12:07am until 6:13am on Nov. 15th; then again from 10:47am (on Nov. 15th) until 12:07am on Nov. 17th — New York Time/US Eastern Time
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (that’s the US East Coast time zone), feel free to join my Facebook Fan-pageorfollow me on twitter. I will be posting reminders on Nov. 15th early morning and afternoon/evening, on Nov. 16th throughout the day and night, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions đ

On Oct. 16th at 3:31pm EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 24 degrees of Libra, beginning a new Moon cycle.
New Moons are introverted times when we go within to learn with what we wish to align ourselves for the next 28 days. This New Moon is also a SuperMoon. These occur when the Moon becomes either Full or New while at its closest distance to the Earth and are therefore more powerful.
This is the second of three Super New Moons in a row. They generate greater gravitational and electromagnetic forces and therefore increased effects on our physical, mental, and emotional bodies. This also facilitates greater shifts in consciousness.
With the New Moon in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, we are invited to focus on win-win situations, fair exchanges, and harmony (within our relationships and with our general environment). However, this New Moon chart has three oppositions and one T-Square.
The Focus Point of this T-Square is the Jupiter-Pluto-Saturn line up in Capricorn, which indicates that we are experiencing some stress or challenges around our long-term goals, obligations, and social structures or limitations in general. Click here to watch my New Moon video to learn more about this.
There are plenty of challenging aspects in this Super New Moon chart, and that might keep us off-balance — to say nothing of the Pluto and Mercury Station phases, that are still both intensified, Mercury in Scorpio (and having gone Retrograde on Oct. 13th), and then of course Mars in Aries is still in its Retrograde phase until Nov. 13th.
More about all those details in a moment…. I just want to mention quickly the latest webinar I recorded on Oct. 4th — we discussed the Mercury Station & Retrograde phase in Scorpio, and how it is connected to the Pluto Station in Capricornand how all of this looks in relationship to our own Birth charts.
Ok, let’s get back to the New Moon — and specifically, the Libra component of this New Moon chart…
All relationships begin with our relationship to ourselves — everything âout thereâ is a reflection of “in here”… Ideally speaking, interacting with another person is a co-creative, equal exchange — we must be centered within ourselves, yet also tuned into each other, all the while responding to the rhythm of life.
Here are some useful questions to ask yourself for this new Moon cycle: What does an “equal relationship” look like? Where is the balance point? What comes up for me when I hear the phrase “the art of relationship”?
As the seventh sign in the zodiac, Libra represents a major turning point, one that invites us to investigate ourselves through the lens of “the other” (by relating on a one-on-one level).
Anything we havenât mastered from the six signs that precede Libra, we bring to all of our relationships, attracting people who mirror back to us our relationship with ourselves: Libra thus invites us to see all of our issues, resolve them, and become whole.
Ask yourself:Â What if harmony and peace were mine to create within me first?
The Libra energy encourages us to…

The Libra energy encourages us to see both sides of a situation and find the middle path (or better yet, a win-win). If we are to reconcile opposite energies, we need to seek the highest and best outcome for everyone involved — in other words, we need to see everyone as equally deserving… including ourselves!
Ask yourself:Â What does “treating others fairly” mean to me? What does “being treated fairly” mean to me? If I could envision the “ideal” relationship, what would that look like to me? Could I give myself permission to drop my expectations and my “shoulds” around relationships just for right now?
What might be a first step towards relationships that honor both parties equally? How might honoring myself contribute to that? What might be possible if I gave myself permission to approve of myself, right here, right now — for no particular reason — “just because”?
Now let’s take a look at some of the other aspects in the New Moon chart:Â The New Moon opposes Mars in Aries (which is also Retrograde at the time of the New Moon), and squares the Jupiter-Pluto-Saturn line up in Capricorn:Â This creates a T-Square as already mentioned earlier.
This T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions around long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one personal and business relationships, and our long-term aspirations.
Doing what’s “right” out there in the world is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves; the internal tension this creates may lead to conflict.
Ask yourself: If the world needed something from me, what might that be? What might be possible if I met people half-way? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?
Are there any rigid attitudes or limitations on my part that might be interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people’s needs and limitations into account? What if I balanced and integrated my inner masculine and feminine?
With so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active — they will keep us busy for sure — in fact we could end up burdened with pressure, commitments, and obligations. As best as you can, avoid “should-ing” on yourself for the next 28 days. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I’m doing the best I can, and by definition, that’s the best I can do” đ
If you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also ask yourself: When is enough, enough? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might such a break mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I test that quickly, just as an experiment?
Given that the “empty leg” of this T-square lands in Cancer, the solution for this stressful aspect lies in our ability to self-nurture. We are invited to pay attention to our basic, emotional, human needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), our need for safety and security.
We are reminded to nurture our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people — as best as we can, of course.
Ask yourself: How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?
With this in mind, I want to invite anyone who needs emotional, spiritual, or mental support right now to do a Coaching-Healing sessionwith me. They are very powerful and very gentle at the same time, as they allow you to let go of any stress or uncomfortable feelings, and provide a chance to reconnect with the inner peace and calm that is always available to you underneath all of the turmoil or stress.

Now, back to the Super New Moon chart:
The New Moon in Libra also trines the North Node in Gemini: this represents our collective Soul’s Journey at this time, showing us that balance and equality can be achieved in our relationships if we stay open-minded and bring a good dose of curiosity to any interactions we have with others.
Ask yourself: What questions could I ask myself or someone else that would help me create a win-win scenario?
We also have three oppositions in this New Moon chart. Oppositions often get played out in our relationships with others, so let’s take a look at those:
The New Moon opposes Retrograde Mars in its own sign (Aries)… I would say that that’s a big deal! It indicates that we feel easily agitated with others, but may also not be able to express our feelings directly. That could lead to some passive-aggressive behaviors, or at the very least, a retreat within ourselves, not wanting to deal with others, just fuming internally.
This retreat into ourselves could give us a chance to reexamine our various one-on-one relationships — ask yourself: Could I acknowledge what is getting stirred up inside of me when connecting with someone who is limited in their ability to have equal relationships?
What if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and my insecurities or triggers actually made for more fulfilling connections with others? How might I balance my need for equal connection and harmony with my desire for self-fulfillment and complete independence?
Venus (the ruler of Libra) is currently in Virgo and opposes Neptune in Pisces. This shows that we can choose to connect to others with compassion and forgiveness in our hearts. We are also ready to dissolve anything that we valued in the past that no longer serves either ourselves or humanity.
Our relationships could also feel confusing or disappointing, they might even be among the things “dissolving” — but this helps us get more connected with our inner knowingness, or our inner sense of what feels “right”. As best as you can, find your inner balance with what’s real and what’s not, and allow others to be human, limitations and all đ
Ask yourself: Could I allow myself to be both smart, decisive, and open-hearted? What would honesty without judgment look like? How might a compassionate heart support me in my decision making process? What is asking to be dissolved? What is asking for forgiveness?
What is just or unjust? Can I embrace all confusions, all paradoxes… and could I let go of wanting to figure it all out, just for right now?
Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus — and both planets are currently Retrograde. This third opposition might create some sudden and unexpected insights. We might feel nervous or anxious, as we become aware of what’s not working for us anymore — and the itch to move forward and realize a new vision feels very strong. It may well be true that something needs to change… but we must take care not to rush into anything.
Ask yourself: How is my day-to-day thinking being interrupted by “divine interventions”? What messages might those interventions have for me? What needs more space in my life?
How might thinking outside the box support my connections with others? What needs a new approach in my communications or interactions with others? Might staying flexible when it comes to my intimate relationships or financial partnerships be beneficial to me?
How might staying calm — in this uncertain climate — support my sanity?
Venus in Virgo trines Jupiter in Capricorn: We have a chance to grow in our social and work relationships at this time. Ask yourself: What work connections might expand my horizons? How might a more realistic view or perspective do the same? Where could practical collaborations create expansion or good will long-term?
As mentioned earlier, Pluto is still Stationing, and therefore exalted; we have been more aware of its impact on us, and this can sometimes cause discomfort. Rather than pushing into that discomfort and creating more of it, or pulling away from it to create more ease, we are being asked to simply “be with it” or “hang out with it” until the planet picks up speed again around Oct. 24th.
To sum it all up for this Super New Moon: Life sometimes forces us into dark and difficult experiences, and whenever this happens, we need to keep in mind that the “gold” in any such experience lies with how we evolve as a result.
Ask yourself: Where do I experience major tests around integrity? Boundaries? Social propriety (standards that are deemed socially acceptable or appropriate)? Where do I need to take more responsibility? Where do I need to draw the line and say: “enough is enough”?
As best as you can, remember you’re always accomplishing things and making progress — even if it’s not visible yet. Self-care is a very important component in this — in fact, without it, we can’t accomplish much, as we’re always behind the eight-ball. Ask yourself: What role does rest and recreation play in my ability to achieve my highest potential? In my playing a meaningful part in society?
For the next four weeks, do your best to seek empowering relationships without compromising your essential self, values, and future visions — and in turn, empower others to be themselves, and allow them to honor their differences.
[/wcm_restrict] Here is a beautiful quote from a Newsletter I received. I already shared this on my Facebook page and on Instagram, but for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, please read it and share it with your friends and family, if it resonates:
“We encourage you to focus on solutions rather than battling problems. We encourage you to focus on supporting health and vitality, rather than battling illness. We encourage you to focus on the political ideals you love rather than focusing with vitriol on that which you hate. Your actions might look identical, but your energy, your emotions, and therefore what you attract, would be totally different…. The Sun doesn’t fight or hate the darkness of night, instead it loves to share its shine. You can’t get rid of an ideology you despise, but you can empower one you love. Stop the struggles with one another. Stop battling yourselves. Start instead empowering, enlivening, and focusing upon that which you wish to love and support, and even when you feel the need to battle something in your current world, do it with love for what you desire, for in that reality every soul will “win.” — Messages from Ann & the Angels, visionsofheaven.com
Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 22-26 degrees of Libra, Aries, Capricorn or Cancer? If so, you may feel the effects of this Super New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best set soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase — so this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 3:31pm and 6:11pm on Oct. 16th, or between 1:05am on Oct. 17th, and 3:31pm, Oct. 18th (New York-Time).

Not only is this the beginning of a new Moon cycle, it is also a âSuperMoon“; these occur when the Moon becomes either Full or New while at its closest distance to the Earth.
SuperMoons generate greater gravitational and electromagnetic forces and therefore increased effects on our physical, mental, and emotional bodies. This, in turn, facilitates greater shifts in consciousness.
This Super New Moon also has an abundance of planets in Earth signs, similar to the last Full Moon (that was exact on Sept. 2nd). The Moon & the Sun in Virgo, Jupiter, Pluto & Saturn in Capricorn, and Uranus in Taurus. This means that our physical & structural realities, and the sustainability of those realities, take the forefront on both the individual and collective levels.
Ask yourself:Â Is my current life — its form and how it’s set up structurally — sustainable as it is? What if “simplifying my life” supported my current structures?
There are also four stationing planets in this New Moon chart: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto!
This means all four of these planet’s energies are exalted, making their vibrations louder — something is “in our face” in relation to these energies for the next month, demanding our attention and awareness. I will talk more about this below, but first let’s look at the Virgo energy of this Super New Moon:
Virgo provides an opportunity to learn about being of service — and what it might mean to strengthen our focus on improving our daily routines — getting organized, for example — and taking care of health matters.
This New Moon cycle will thus be a great time to begin new projects that demand attention to detail, list-making, and taking pride in âsmall” accomplishments. We might start a new health regimen, perhaps by paying close attention to our diet; we could also set up specific routines that help us manage our lives in constructive and mindful ways.
This cycle is all about handling the nitty-gritty details of our day-to-day life in an organized, step-by-step fashion, so we can free our minds of clutter. Where could you use more open space?
Things to watch out for…

Things to watch out for: sweating the details, worrying, and being extra-critical of ourselves and others when something doesnât get done “right”.
Another great way to step into the higher vibrations of Virgo: recognize, as best as you can, that humility, self-improvement, and being of service bring you closer to your inner divinity and your Soul’s path.
Ask yourself:Â How could I, as a Spirit-being, operate more efficiently in the physical world? Might tweaking my daily routines help me function better in the physical world? Might that also support me in being of service? What benefits might I reap if I could better discern between the essential and the redundant?
Since the New Moon in Virgo trines Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn (both of which are exalted at the time of the New Moon), we can ask ourselves: How might taking a practical approach to our daily routines serve the long-term vision of ourselves (individually & collectively)? What if we applied that same approach to health-related routines? What could we achieve if we brought 5% more humility to our long-term plans?
Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are more capable than normal of looking at the details, and focusing on what’s sitting right in front of us that demands to be taken care of, so we can get to the next phase of accomplishment.
We are invited to look at all the practical implications; we need to slow down and take our time if we are to manifest something that can stand the test of time — rushing things will most likely backfire right now.
Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our purpose right now. We face life on life’s terms and feel up to doing so. Ask yourself: Where might a deepening of my understanding of my own motivations lead me? What in my life needs to transform? What could I strip away that is no longer connected with who I am now? What fears and attachments could I now release that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?
The New Moon also squares the current Moon Nodes in Gemini/Sagittarius, which means we are collectively at a crossroads: We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, to gain a new perspective, to explore different avenues leading to different outcomes, especially in regards to our health routines and daily well-being.
Ask yourself: What beliefs are holding me back from living a healthy life? What do I need to implement in my daily routines, so I can be healthy and happy? Could I be open to shifting my perception? Where have I made assumptions? Which one of my “filters” could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom? How might a good dose of discernment serve me right now?
Last but not least, the New Moon also quincunxes Mars in Aries (also exalted at the time of the New Moon);Â this calls for some inner adjustments.
We are invited to develop an inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to engage in personal passion projects and cover new ground fast â and on the other, the need to tend to our daily routines, observing what works and what doesn’t, as well as being of service to others.
Ask yourself: Am I over-analyzing things? Am I being too impulsive or impatient? What might need simplifying in my life, so I can take the next step forward?
A Quincunx between Aries and Virgo can also indicate a health-aspect, so ask yourself: Where do I need to make adjustments so my body doesn’t experience “burn out”? What needs my discernment (or even my careful evaluation) so I can move forward with vigor and passion?
Stay as open and observant as you can — especially since Mars is still exalted due to its Station phase — and also retrograde.
Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, is currently in Libra; it makes a Square to Jupiter in Capricorn, and a Quincunx to Neptune in Pisces. Let’s unpack that:
The Square to Jupiter in Capricorn is an invitation to bring expansion and new perspectives to our interactions with others. As Jupiter and Mars are both still exalted at the time of the New Moon, impatience might be a given — but moving faster or doing more is not necessarily better in this case.
Ask yourself: What have I learned in the last 4 months about my abilities and limitations? How can I apply that knowledge to my interactions with others at this time? What if I slowed down just 5% when connecting with others, so I can practice listening 5% more? What might be possible in my collaborations with others if I was 5% more aware of my assumptions in that moment?
The Quincunx to Neptune in Pisces indicates some inner struggles or adjustments that need to be made — we may feel confused at times, as we are feeling an internal pull in some very different directions: going within, slowing things down and getting quiet, versus connecting with others one-on-one. We are seeking an inner transformation.
Ask yourself: What am I sensing? Intuiting? Where does the inner experience of love and connectedness meet the outer? What do I currently experience in my relationships that doesn’t seem to be a good fit with my ideals, dreams, and fantasies?
How could I learn more about collaboration? What calls out to be communicated in my relationships? Where might I be avoiding any such communications? Could I give myself some space, time, and love around all of this?
Lastly, Venus in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus; this indicates that priorities are shifting, and we may feel uneasy around others. We may also struggle to reconcile freedom with material safety (the latter could show up as fears around financial goals) and in fact it’s best to look long and hard before you leap into any financial decisions at this time.
Ask yourself: Could I give myself 5% more space when it comes to relationships with others? My relationship with myself? With money? How might flexibility and creative solutions support me when things take a different or unexpected turn? Could I keep my mind and heart 5% more open no matter what happens?
To sum it all up, the message of this Super New Moon is loud and clear: It invites us to assess the quality of our lives in all areas. It spotlights how less can be more (clutter, “busyness”, stress) and how this translates into a more satisfying and meaningful life, long-term.
Be Mindful. Dedicate yourself to what’s important with compassion in your heart! Remember that perfection is not a goal, it is a journey.
Ask yourself: What if I favored progress over perfection? How could I release “old” dogmas? What if I discerned what’s truly important to me and focused there for improvements? How do I communicate my thoughts and findings to others? Could I bring 5% more maturity and responsibility to the table when being of service to others?
When life slows down, speeds up, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now.

[/wcm_restrict] Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.
So this month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be between 7:00am and 7:42amonSept. 17th; and then again from 2:56pm on Sept. 17th until 7:00am on Sept. 19th (New York-time).
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (that’s the US East Coast time zone), feel free to join my Facebook Fan-pageorfollow me on twitter. I will be posting reminders on Sept. 17th and 18th throughout the day, and on Sept. 19th in the morning, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions đ

On May 7th, at 6:45am EDT, the Full Moon in almost 17.5 degrees of Scorpio becomes exact. The Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus. This is also another SuperMoon.
There are many Station phases going on simultaneously this month, as a lot of planets are starting their Retrograde phases. Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, was the first one to go retrograde, on April 25th — and its Station phase will still last until May 17th, which makes this planet more exalted until then.
Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn are exalted in the sky as well. All three of those planets will start their various Retrograde phases within three days of each other, between May 11th and May 14th. Since Venus rules Taurus, we have both planetary rulers of this Full Moon exalted at this time — a rare occasion đ We will talk about this in more detail in a moment, but first….
This Full Moon shows us how far we have come, as well as what we must still release or transform, if we are to manifest what was begun at the time of the New Moon that occurred on April 22nd.
For the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities — and we are more aware that something needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments, aversions, and connections — symbolized by Taurus— and our emotional attachments, aversions, and connections (Scorpio).
The time of the Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears or disempowering behaviors, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution, individually and collectively speaking.
So, here’s this Full Moon’s central question: As a society, are we living in alignment with our values, with what makes us happy and satisfied? As individuals? Do we feel empowered and emotionally fulfilled?
All right, let’s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with Taurus: Taurus seeks…

Taurus seeks comfort and material stability. It’s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general — and also with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely âself-esteem”.
Of course, Taurus also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures, immovability and wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don’t experience physical discomfort.
Scorpio, on the other hand, craves transformation â and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing them into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or whatever has become stale or toxic. Put another way, it helps us move from a “survival mentality”, to a passionate engagement with life.
Ask yourself:Â Where in my own life do I observe a “survival mentality”? In what ways might I have protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?
Itâs essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more âempoweredâ. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.
What is Scorpioâs shadow?
Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic), avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)… and anything we want to prevent: Scorpio’s shadow has us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.
Scorpio wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, ask yourself: Where do my behaviors bring disempowerment to others or myself? Where do my behaviors simply bring pain? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?
Now, let’s talk about some of the aspects of this Full Moon chart, and let’s start with the planetary rulers of Taurus and Scorpio since they are both exalted:
Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, is currently retrograde in Capricorn, closely aligned with Jupiter, so both planets are exalted at the time of the Full Moon. This exalted duo heightens our desire for an emotionally authentic connection to our long-term goals and social aspirations. Survival urges could be strong at this time, especially when it comes to anything we think we have no control over.
Ask yourself: What is “forcing” me to look beyond my current understanding to a larger perspective so I can grow and evolve? In what ways do I need to take a deeper look at my belief system and my assumptions or perspectives at that time?
How do I want to better myself? What situation in my life requires a “rebirth”? How do my survival strategies show up at this time? Am I trying to hold on to what was? I am I resisting what is? Am I scared of what might be?
How could I feel more empowered on my current journey? How could I be my own “authority” in the world? What would it look like to connect to a deeper truth — and live from that truth every day, no matter what “authority figures” say or advise?
Pluto trines Mercury in Taurus. This is a perfect opportunity to take a look at our long-term goals — and empower ourselves by being completely honest about where we are with them, and where our divine purpose wants to take us.
Ask yourself: What needs a closer look (and deep honesty with myself) when it comes to my long-term goals or achievements? In what area of my life do I still not feel fully empowered? What needs to be addressed and brought up into full consciousness in order to get to a place of emotional authenticity with myself and the world?
What scares me the most about this? What if I had the courage to do this in spite of all my fears or concerns? What would that look like? What would be the first small step towards my own empowerment in the world?
Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is currently in Gemini, also exalted due to her Station phase, and in a wide conjunction wit the North Node, which moves into Gemini only 2 days before the Full Moon becomes exact. The spiritual quest of Gemini concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication.
We are invited to learn to listen to others, for the next 20 months, so that we can discover the value of true communication and exchange, and to see both sides of a situation.
Ask yourself: If I am really honest with myself, could I make 5% more of an effort to communicate in a way that is beneficial for everyone involved? What if I chose to listen with a 5% more curious mind? How could I improve my relationship to myself and others by keeping my mind 5% more open?
If you’d like more detail about the impact on your own birth chart of the current Venus Station, the upcoming Retrograde phase, and the 20-month influence of Moon Nodes in Gemini/Sagittarius, join us for the next Forecasting Forum on May 3rd — you can join us live or watch the mp4-video presentation of this live event.
As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Geminirepresents the “bringing together of opposites” — people with different values, for example.
Ask yourself: When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of view? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?
For the next two weeks, we are invited to ponder and discuss Taurean issues: resources (oil, metals, gold, finances), appreciation of physical matter (our planet, art, food, etc.), natural beauty (nature, trees, flowers, colors, landscapes, etc.)
Venus also makes a square to Neptune in Pisces: We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money at this time; if you plan on making long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it’s likely you will not see things as they truly are.
Ask yourself: How does my intuition guide me at this time? Could I take a moment, to tune in, before charging ahead? Are there any spiritual or creative endeavors that are calling for my attention over the next two weeks?
Another thing worth mentioning: Venus in Gemini also makes a “mutual reception” to Mercury in Taurus — in other words, these planets are in each other’s signs until May 11th; during that time, they “mutually” support each other’s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.
We seek out mental stimulation (teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc) and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.
As best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.
Ask yourself: What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I’d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes in regards to my value in the world? Is it possible my value doesn’t need to be “earned”? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?
Mercury aligns with Sun in Taurus. This is a time when our opinions are unusually strong — and we are proud of them, and of our thoughts — and may therefore be more stubborn as wellâŠ
Ask yourself:Â If people hung on my every word, what might I say then? What might I hold back from saying? Might it serve me to consciously practice listening to others and myself? What might a practice like this look like? What if I acted as if I was being 100% heard by others? What if I returned the favor?
For the next two weeks, please keep in mind that it may not always serve us to dig our heels in, so choose your battles wisely.
For some help with this, ask yourself: On a scale from 1-10, with “10” being extremely important and “1” being not important at all… how important is this? How important will it be a year from now? If it’s below a 5, could I simply let it go? If it’s a 5 or above, could I express myself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions, knowing that I communicated what was important to me, and that’s all I can ever do?
Mercury opposes the Moon in Scorpio: this is an invitation to find a balance between connecting to what we value on a physical level, and what we need in order to make deeper emotional connections with others, based on trust and empowerment.
This combo can make for very focused and deep conversations; however it is also possible that we might find ourselves unable to get in touch with our feeling-body, because we are too caught up talking about what’s important to us, and how we want to manifest this in our lives. We may also prefer to have peace rather than to explore emotionally complex situations with others.
Ask yourself here: What might it require of me to have emotionally fulfilling relationships? What happens when I suppress my feelings? Or when I don’t process emotionally difficult experiences? Is is possible to work through my traumas with others and find peace in the process? What might a dash more trust and courage do for me?
Remember: The larger the reservoir of unprocessed emotional experiences, the more intense things can become, precipitating conflict, illness, and crises of all kinds.
The question here becomes, what would you rather have: a moment of discomfort and vulnerability — like getting caught in the rain — or an immersion in pain and crisis when your dam bursts?
To sum it all up: This Super Full Moon reminds us that every new beginning is the end of something else, and vice versa.
Ask yourself: What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end to make way for me to create more abundance?
Trust your inner truth-meter! Choose love over fear!
We have the persistence to go after our divine purpose for the next two weeks, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience… As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you actually have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change things beyond your control.

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

The next Full Moon will be “exact” on March 9th, at 1:48pm EDT, in 19.5 degrees of Virgo. This Full Moon has a heightened effect on us, as it is also a SuperMoon (i.e., the Moon is at its closest distance to the Earth); SuperMoons generate greater gravitational and electromagnetic pulls on our physical and emotional bodies â and pull more powerfully on our psyches too, increasing emotionality and fostering larger shifts in consciousness.
Ask yourself: How far have I come with the Intentions I set around Feb. 23rd’s New Moon? If I’m not where I’d like to be with those intentions, what new course might take me closer to my goals?
A Full Moon is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun; during these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites. Very often, we experience this through our interactions with others, and since these interactions are also the pathway to resolution, relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons.
In this case, the Moon in Virgo opposes the Sun in Pisces (if you are already familiar with this polarity, feel free to skip ahead to the aspects involved in this Full Moon chart…)
Virgo seeks personal wholeness, while Pisces reminds us of a transcendent wholeness â our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.
Virgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else — when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves.
Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels: We are invited to discern what’s real, so we can make healthier choices.
To find the balance between Virgo and Pisces, ask yourself:

To find the balance between Virgo and Pisces, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? More accepting? What if my inner knowingness could inform practical choices? What if âchoosing” was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?
What results might I get in my daily life if I dissolved my fears, judgments, and painful memories? Even if I could only do that as best as I can? What might a daily practice of self-forgiveness, acceptance, and learning to love myself do for me? What else might bring more inner peace?
All Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs:
Virgo‘s shadow side is “Judgement”; this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves, closing our heart and limiting our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. it’s what is showing up when we label things as “good or bad”, rather than seeing them in terms of “useful or unproductive”.
Drawing on the higher vibrations of Pisces helps us likewise connect with the higher vibration of Virgo… Pisces’s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination; at its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.
The shadow side of Pisces is ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization, and poor or missing boundaries. And just as the converse is true, the best qualities of Virgo can move us back into the higher vibration of Pisces — qualities like the ability to choose wisely and to objectively discern what works and what doesn’t.
When both sides are well-integrated, we possess acuity of mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and the guidance of our intuition.
Ask yourself:Â What single step could I take right here and now, if I were setting out to employ 5% more self-compassion, unconditional love, and selfless service?
What if there were synergies between my emotional, intuitive understanding, and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts & intuitive knowingness? What if I could have both?
For the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities, so ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic? Where are things piling up? How can I make healthier choices?
Let’s talk about what’s important in this particular Full Moon chart:Â
Mercury (the ruler of Virgo) is stationing to go direct at 28Âș of Aquarius — it will come to a complete halt, only 10 hours after the Full Moon becomes exact; this heightens the energy of the planet of communication. Our thoughts have more weight and what confronts us demands our awareness.
Think back to Feb. 2nd and ask yourself: what came up for me that day? What ideas will be ready to move forward after March 9th?
In general, how can I start to implement things that came up during the Mercury Retrograde phase? Where could my problem-solving skills be put to use? What needs to be addressed now around my vision for the future? If every thought either added to or subtracted from my ability to connect with my personal and/or collective future vision, what would I say more to myself? What would I say less?
We will also talk in more detail about Mercury’s direct movement as well as the Super Full Moon — and how it all relates to your birth chart — in our upcoming Forum on March 8th!Â
So, if you want to know how these planetary movements are going to impact you personally, SIGN UP to join the webinar LIVE, or register to receive an mp4 video presentation within 24 hours of the live event.
Star Members are automatically registered and will receive an email with a link on March 7th in the afternoon — and you also will automatically receive a video of the Forum within 24 hours of the live event.
Once Mercury goes direct, on March 10th all planets will be moving in direct motion until April 25th, signaling that we have almost seven weeks to make some major moves forward in our lives. Ask yourself: What steps (whether large or small) might move me forward on my evolutionary path? How might a balance between “doing” and “being” support me on this path? What about “thinking” & “feeling”? Discernment & acceptance? Where might the journey of integrating head and heart lead me?
Here are some other aspects from this Full Moon chart:
The Sun aligns with Neptune in Pisces, drawing us inward, influencing us to seek silence and solitude, where we can hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul’s evolution.
Ask yourself:Â If I were to be totally honest with myself, what would I notice is draining, rather than inspiring me? Where do I seem to have a hard time discerning fact from fiction? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What might my dreams say to me? What message might my intuition have for me?
Is it at least possible that plenty of sleep, rest, or “going within” might serve my connection to the divine (aka “source”)? What else could show me my own divine nature?
The Moon in Virgo trines Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto in Capricorn.Virgo and Capricorn are both Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand comes easier, while an increased ability to discern “what’s what” can support us when digging deeper into our motivations around long-term goals.
This combo thus creates a âmutual support systemâ for manifesting something real that fits with our long-term goals. It provides a flow of practical approaches and a wonderful opportunity to connect to what we feel most passionate about — along with a desire to accomplish something meaningful.
Ask yourself: How could my attention to detail help me lay down a solid foundation for the long haul? What might open up if I implemented health routines or other systems that support my long-term goals?
What works for me in my daily routines? What doesn’t? What are my expectations or attitudes towards those things? What new vantage point might show me how to easily implement my business goals?
The Sun/Neptune alignment in Pisces sextiles Mars and Jupiter in Capricorn; we can better link our ability to plan and achieve to our intuition and instincts, so ask yourself: If there were a single, really simple action step, one that would feel almost effortless… what might that be?
Humor can be a big part of this aspect too, as can the ability to see lots of possibility in our lives, especially when it comes to creating sustainable achievements and becoming an expert in our field. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our long-term goals — whether personal or collective.
Imagine for a moment that you had a special lens which showed you the “bigger picture”… What might you see if you looked through it at your long-term goals? How about your career goals?
Lastly, Venus is currently in her own sign, aligned with Uranus in Taurus. Freedom plays a big part in our interactions over the next two weeks, and we have the freedom to experiment with new ways of relating to others, so as best as you can, stay open and flexible: Fresh air is blowing through your relationships — and perhaps your bank account too.
Ask yourself: What unusual or “different” social connections are calling to me? Where do I need to break my current routines for social interactions? What might open up if I opened more towards new experiences in my relationships? Or maybe even around my finances?
A few final thoughts:Â Â
Virgo’s highest vibration is also about Service — and to genuinely be of service, we must acquire discernment â not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful and set aside the rest.
Ask yourself:Â What if I didn’t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic? And even to my fearful mind chatter?
Pisces understands that everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we are doing the best we can at any given time, and that on a spiritual level all “mistakes” are just “experiences”, we can learn about empathy — and our brain will re-pattern itself around compassion, rather than criticism.
Ask yourself:Â What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to “inspire” or “scare” myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards worst-case or best-case scenarios? What might “universal love” choose?
There is at least one way to immediately heighten our connection with the Pisces energy, and it’s free to all: simply becoming more aware of our breath. The moment you feel ungrounded or overwhelmed, ask yourself: Could I slow down and notice my breathing? What might breathing deeply and mindfully bring to this moment?
This Full Moon reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Rather than pushing, over-thinking, or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments, inside of faith in universal supportâŠ
For the next two weeks, ask yourself: Where is the balance point for intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the “perfect” outcome? What if far more is happening, both within each one of us and around the world, than meets the eye, ear, or news media?
What if the solutions were already available… just not widely distributed?
This Full Moon reminds us that peace comes from within, and can radiate from each one of us; we are what we choose to be in every âmoment of nowâ — so choose wisely! Our future is birthed breath by breath, step by step, heart by heart.
Given that, for the next two weeks, do your best to simply observe, like a scientist would, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment and always bring compassion to it all!

Monday very early morning, on Jan. 21st, at 12:16am EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in almost 1 degrees of Leo — this is a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse becoming exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Leo Sunday (Jan. 20th), at 10:54pm EST.Â
This Full Moon is the second of two Eclipses in January and it’s extra-powerful. There are two main reasons for this: firstly, because it’s a SuperMoon — these occur when the Moon is either Full or New while at its closest distance to the Earth — they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactivity, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.
Secondly, as the last Eclipse in the Leo/Aquarius polarity, it completes an Eclipse cycle that started in Feb. 2017 — this put an emphasis on freedom and individuality, while redefining our approach to improving our future — and paradoxically, also on our need to belong. We are also invited to become more aware of our mind’s activities, of group affiliations out there in the world, and of moving towards a courageous, open, and self-expressed heart — one that knows how to joyfully and playfully connect to the “here and now”.
Think back over the last two years, and ask yourself: What has shifted for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or “humanity”)? How about like-minded people or political/group affiliations? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? For authentic self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo (August 11th, 2018), what brought the possibility for more joy into my life since then? Have I been able to get more in touch with my inner child?

If we are still feeling a disconnect to the Leo energy, this is our chance to make a more conscious effort to embrace, integrate, and explore the lighter/higher vibrations of this courageous, optimistic, and self-expressed sign.
But first, as with all Full Moons, there’s a shadow side — let’s take a look at the shadow of both signs involved in this Lunar Eclipse — and please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or easy to embrace…
Aquarius’s shadow side might show up as coldness, detachment, or overly intellectualized points of view — and there could be some arrogance in the mix. Ask yourself: If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? Where do I get dogmatic about concepts or visions? Where do I conform, where do I want to fit in? What would it feel like if I gave up conforming out of fear of ridicule or rejection? What if the most unlikely people had a piece of the puzzle?
Where do I hide behind social groups to feel superior to others? Where or when has belonging to a “tribe” become more important than my personal self-expression? How have I avoided following my heart, so I can fit in?
And if by chance you have never belonged to a “tribe”, then ask yourself: What if I gave up identifying as a “black sheep”, rebel, or of being so different that I can never belong?
In order to develop a healthy relationship to the individual part we play in the collective, we need to keep an open mind, allow everyone (ourselves included) to be their unique selves, and bring that unique spark to the collective experience. Aquarius connects us to the complex patterns formed when many come together; it represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
Ask yourself:Â How can I personally contribute to a better future for humanity? What’s my unique spark that could bring greater joy and diversity to the collective experience?
So much for the Aquarian shadow — let’s look at Leo’s shadow side: This might show up as self-centeredness, with some narcissistic trades — picture a child that can’t see beyond itself, is not aware of other people in the room, cannot see past the moment to the consequences down the line.
Ask yourself: If I’m honest, have I ever created drama when I can’t have what I desire? Where in my life do I take things too personally? Where (or when) do I tend to be self-indulgent? What role does my pride play?
In order to develop a healthy connection to our inner child, we must learn to keep an open heart, and let ourselves be playful and creative. We must learn to express our needs and desires, so we can have open, authentic conversations with other people. Leo represents our individual expression, individual creativity, the kind of light we came to shine, the type of joy we came to spread.
Ask yourself:Â What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? What if I expressed myself with 5% more courage? What might my world look like if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?
As with all Full Moons, we are also invited to balance and integrate the two polarities involved — in this case, we are invited to allow head/intellect (Aquarius) and heart-expression (Leo) to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind — so ask yourself: What would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?
This means it’s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?
We are also encouraged during this Eclipse to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and yet each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage and living our vision — which takes dropping into our hearts more fully.
Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) in a very late degree of Aries creates a T-Square to the Lunar Eclipse (Sun is in Aquarius and Moon in Leo, and the Moon Nodes in Cancer & Capricorn), as well as to Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn.
This indicates a turning point on our individual path: We are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are “out there in the world” — and to our interactions with others⊠In other words, to step it up some and walk our unique path. We are called to inspire others.
Ask yourself:Â What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What’s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?
Pluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears — and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires… and true power. Ask: What do I obsess over? What scares me the most, when it comes time to fully commit to things I feel passionate about?
Let’s take a look at some other aspects of this Lunar Eclipse chart, starting with the most exact ones:
Saturn (the traditional ruler of Aquarius) in Capricorn squares Mars in Aries; both planets are in their own signs, and therefore exalted. This is a maturity process that requires adjustments and flexibility on our part. This aspect invites us to apply caution and moderation; this might be frustrating at first, but pushing too hard or too fast doesn’t always get us the results we want — it might be time to slow down a little and catch our breath. That way, we can come back later with a stronger, more mature and realistic approach.
Ask yourself:Â What in my life could use a little patience right now? On the other hand, what needs my passion and courage? What if the wisdom to know when I need to apply courage and when to apply patience was already within me?
A Venus/Jupiter combo in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces. Once again, we have two planets involved who are in their own signs, and therefore more exalted: in this case, Jupiter and Neptune. This aspect invites us to be more aware of our current connection to the divine and what we believe about it.
As best as you can, explore your conditioning and programming — ask yourself: What messages did I receive from my parents concerning my intuitive gifts, divine connection to Self, or creative aspirations? How about from teachers? Religion? The culture(s) I grew up in?
How does my actual experience differ from those messages? Where am I ready to expand beyond old programming? Which one of my “filters” could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom?
If I was given life for a reason, and if my time was precious, who would I want to “be” in this moment and with this breath? What does “spiritual expansion” mean to me?
Give yourself time to tune in and contemplate… What was the cultural “story” you were told? How could we all sing a greater song while on this Earth?
And last but not least: the Venus/Jupiter combo in Sagittarius also trines Mars in Aries. This is a far more extroverted aspect than the previous ones. It gives us the physical energy to explore beyond what we already know and start something new. It gives us courage and optimism — but impatience might be an unpleasant side effect…
Ask yourself:Â If I knew I could accomplish something now with ease, what would I pick? Could a positive attitude plus a wider perspective ease my transition to the next chapter?
To sum it all up: If we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leoâs imperative). That said, if we don’t come from the heart — or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking — we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.
This Lunar Eclipse shows us that there are plenty of inner and outer processes going on — and we’re all dealing with those processes in our own way. If we look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there, we can begin to reclaim ourselves, remember our divinity and interdependence, and lift ourselves and humanity out of the old paradigm of separation and scarcity.
Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don’t fully express our uniqueness, so take time this week to check your spiritual compass. Ask yourself: Am I choosing from love or fear? This total Lunar Eclipse urges us to become totally committed to our Self, our truth, our soulâs mission.
Flexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change â basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest — and let in affection from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.
Itâs this simple: if we donât maintain our physical bodies, we won’t maintain the pace, or meet the demands placed on us right now.
[/wcm_restrict]
A final note about Eclipses: they’re consciousness upgrades. For 7 – 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory — anything is possible and it’s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything brand-new started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.
For that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Jan. 30th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to âbeâ… Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.
Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 0-6 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, or 26-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this powerful Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer). And if youâd like to learn more about this month’s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video

On Wednesday, May 26th at 7:14am EDT, a powerful Full Moon in 5.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. This is a Total Lunar Eclipse of a SuperMoon (i.e., the Moon is closer to the Earth than normal) and as such, this Full Moon’s energy is unusually intense.
On Nov. 15th at 12:07am EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 23 degrees of Scorpio, beginning a new Moon cycle. This New Moon brings us closer to the beginning of Eclipse season, which starts on Nov. 20th — my next Full Moon video will be about the Lunar Eclipse in Gemini.
On Oct. 16th at 3:31pm EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 24 degrees of Libra, beginning a new Moon cycle.
On Sept. 17th at 7am EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 25 degrees of Virgo, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle. 
On May 7th, at 6:45am EDT, the Full Moon in almost 17.5 degrees of Scorpio becomes exact. The Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus. This is also another SuperMoon.
Monday very early morning, on Jan. 21st, at 12:16am EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in almost 1 degrees of Leo — this is a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse becoming exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Leo Sunday (Jan. 20th), at 10:54pm EST.
