New Moon in Scorpio – the article

by | Nov 18, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, New Moon, Pluto

On Nov. 20th at 1:47am EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 28 degrees of Scorpio, beginning a new Moon cycle.

Now, back to the New Moon:

The Heart of This Lunation

The New Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio brings our focus to our intimate relationships and deepest emotional desires and fears. If you’d like to learn more about this Lunation, check out my video on the subject.

 

A Shift in Energy: Pluto and Jupiter

Pluto’s out of bounds movement ends one day before the New Moon becomes exact (on Nov. 19th) Yay! Feel free to watch my powerful webinar on the subject. Click here for more info!

Jupiter in Cancer is still stationing at the time of the New Moon and remains exalted until Nov. 23rd, asking us to take a look at our beliefs and perspectives/attitudes in connection with self-care, and our emotional sense of safety.

 

Neptune and Uranus: Revisiting Old Lessons

Neptune and Uranus will both be in an exalted degree(29º) at the time of the New Moon — both planets having retrograded back into their previous signs for the time being.

When a planet retrogrades back into a previous sign, it provides another chance to complete the lessons of that sign before moving into the next phase.

The last degree of a sign represents a desire to wrap things up anything that got started when the planet entered 0º of that same sign.

Neptune entered 0º of Pisces in April 2011 & Feb 2012, and reached the 29th degree for the first time in March of this year (4th-30th). This time around it will remain in 29º until Jan. 26th, 2026.

Think back to March 4th-30th and ask yourself: What “heart blocks” have cleared? What have I learned about interconnectivity? Trust? Intuition? Compassion? Energetic connections? What remains to be released? What could I feel my way into?

The clearer our connection to the universal heart and our intuitive knowing, and the healthier our relationship to the metaphysical plane, the more skillfully we will deal with the next phase, when Neptune moves into Aries in late January 2026.

Uranus entered 0º of Taurus in mid May 2018, and reached the 29th degree for the first time in mid June until July 7th of this year. This time around it will remain in 29º until Dec. 1st, and then again in April of 2026 (5th-25th).

Think back to mid June until July 7th and ask yourself: What have I been able to resolve on the physical plane? Or perhaps regarding my body? My finances? My personal resources, such as talents? How I value myself? Where my sense of worth originates? What remains to be looked at or dealt with?

The clearer our core values and the healthier our relationship to the physical plane, the more skillfully we will deal with the next phase, when Uranus moves into Gemini in late April 2026.

Key Aspects in the New Moon Chart

— The New Moon closely aligns with a retrograde Mercury in Scorpio, giving us the signal to go within and process thoughts or information before moving forward.

— The New Moon and the retrograde Mercury in Scorpio are part of a Grand Water Trine with an exalted Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn & Neptune in Pisces, asking us to be methodical and realistic when connecting with others intimately — and it gives us a chance to release any narratives related to traumas from the past and fears that keep us stuck or disconnected from others.

— Retrograde Mercury and the New Moon also oppose Uranus in Taurus — the planet associated with breakdowns, breakthroughs, sudden change, freedom, and innovation.

This could create some anxiousness or a feeling of uncertainty. Focusing on what we want to create, rather than focusing on what we can’t predict, is key!

— Pluto in Aquarius plays a crucial role: it is not only the modern ruler of Scorpio, but it is also still part of a Minor Triangle involving Uranus and Neptune; this remind us that spiritual practice isn’t a luxury; it’s essential.

Quiet time, reflection, and connection to our inner compass allow us to align with the vibration of the new world unfolding.

— Mars (the traditional ruler of Scorpio) currently in Sagittarius squaring the Moon Nodes in Pisces-Virgo, advises us that in order to do things differently, we need to be able to see things differently, and share our assumptions, attitudes and perspectives with others, as well as ask questions.

As you can see, there is a lot going on this month, yet again. More about all that in a moment, but first, let’s talk about the Water element and Scorpio…

The Power of Water and the Scorpio Journey

With 7 of the 10 planets in Water signs, in addition to the North Node in Pisces, this New Moon calls us inward, to reflect and pay close attention to our feelings, our motives, and our projections.

Are we acting from love or reacting from fear? What needs to be purged? What could be healed? What strengthens our inner light?

As the second Water sign, Scorpio seeks to experience the full range of human emotion, including those we tend to hide or suppress — our anger and aversions, jealousy and resentments, grief and depression.

Scorpio also explores the depths of intimacy and the dynamics of power, learning that “truth is the most powerful aphrodisiac” and that real power comes from healing our wounding and integrating our shadow.

Scorpio relates not only to the depths of our own psyche, but also to the ecstasies and traumas of relationships.

 

Working with Shadow and Projection

Scorpio is also the sign most associated with the dark: the taboo, the subconscious, the unknown.

Our Shadow holds not only our fears, unresolved trauma, and less desirable qualities, but anything that has been repressed, including our: power, intuition, and other gifts.

Ask yourself: How might surrender, trust in a higher power, and letting go of resentment & fear give me a better understanding of peace, authentic connection, and inner strength?

Scorpio is associated with three images: the Scorpion (a solitary creature symbolizing self-protection and instinctive desire), the Eagle (who has a wider awareness and more conscious control over its desires), and the Dove (who has transcended personal desire, and brings peace and healing to others).

Ask yourself: What gifts might lie concealed behind my deepest fears? What if moving closer to what scares me the most, led not to a death of any kind, but always and only led to transformation?

Scorpio also deals with our Shadow issues. The “Shadow” is all the suppressed, denied, or undeveloped qualities of our personality. Unprocessed Shadow material pushes our buttons and makes us vulnerable to control and manipulation.

Suppression and denial, projection and blame keep us stuck; conscious awareness shows us the way out. Healing happens when we bring light to the dark, becoming conscious of what had been stored in the basement of our psyche.

Ask yourself: What treasures might be hidden in my personal Shadow? What personal alchemy would transmute that shadow into gold?

Noticing our own desires, fears, or sense of humor is important, because the Shadow also makes itself visible through those…

So, what Shadow issues need to be addressed over the next four weeks? 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? Might some version of that apply to me?

Some other shadow-work questions: 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 a little “edgy”?

Now, let’s talk about some of the planetary aspects in this New Moon chart…

Mercury Retrograde and the Grand Water Trine

Mercury and the Stories We Tell

The New Moon aligns with a retrograde Mercury in Scorpio. This brings a heightened mental focus toward our deepest desires and motivations that stir us in the direction of going after those desires. We feel quite focused, maybe even obsessed with a goal or endeavor.

Ask yourself: what motivates my behaviors? Where am I driven by fear or self-protection? Where do I follow destructive patterns that keep showing up in my intimate relationships or financial partnerships? If I don’t show these patterns myself, do people show up who do?

Due to Mercury’s Retrograde phase we have already covered this territory in late October (at the time of the last New Moon). We have been looking at narratives related to traumas from the past and fears that keep us stuck or disconnected from others.

Ask yourself again: What stories got between me and a fully empowered, passionate life? Am I now ready to release them as best I can?

What feels in alignment with my own inner truth, when I allow myself to let go of my fears and open my heart?

The New Moon-Mercury alignment is part of a Grand Water Trine with Jupiter in Cancer, Neptune and Saturn in Pisces, as well as an exact Opposition to Uranus in Taurus— the planet associated with breakdowns, breakthroughs, sudden change, freedom, and innovation.

Let’s start with the Grand Water Trine:

Saturn in Pisces asks us to eliminate anything that keeps us disconnected from our intuitive nature and the natural flow of life.

Neptune in Pisces asks us to trust our intuitive knowing and be gentle, kind and compassionate with ourselves and others.

Jupiter in Cancer asks us to discover new perspectives and ways of looking at our emotional conditioning from our childhood, and how safe we feel with loved ones, as well as be vulnerable and receive their support.

This Grand Water Trine gives us a chance to release any narratives related to traumas from the past and fears that keep us stuck or disconnected from others. It support honest communication, recognizing the real issues, and making peace with the past.

Ask yourself: What stories have kept me from living a fully empowered and passionate life? Am I now ready to release them as best I can?

With this combo, it is easier to let go of fears and attachments. We are more able to have faith that everything will turn out for the highest and best interest of everyone involved.

Ask yourself: What might shift if I trusted the timing of everything currently unfolding? What if acceptance of “what is” was key to manifesting my goals?

Connecting from an intuitive place, trusting the process, and going with the flow are all crucial here!

Ask yourself: What if I could recognize any subconscious tendency to see myself as a victim of circumstances — or the actions of others? If I took 5% more responsibility during these situations, would it help own the outcome? Or maybe even alter it?

What would it look like to know myself or others more deeply? And to realize my interconnectivity with the whole Universe?

 

Opposition to Uranus in Taurus: Freedom and Disruption

Uranus retrograded back into Taurus on Nov. 7th, where it remains until fully moving into Gemini on April 25, 2026. On both personal and collective levels, when a planet is at the last degree of a sign (29º), there can be a sense of urgency and finality, a need to “get it right,” to remedy mistakes and do things correctly.

Since Uranus entered Taurus on May 15, 2018, it has illuminated where we need to resolve social and generational issues around materialism and mechanization, scarcity and survival, shame and self worth.

Uranus is the planet associated with breakdowns, breakthroughs, sudden change, freedom, and innovation.

In Taurus, this urges us to let go of traditional values and focus on a better financial future for everyone involved. As well as shifting our relationship to our planet.

With this Opposition, we might experience some sudden and unexpected shifts in our thinking over the next four weeks.

Ask yourself: Where is my life being disrupted by “divine intervention”? What insights might those interventions hold for me?

We are invited to examine narratives we have about money, power, and resources (personal and shared). We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please.

We tend to feel like progress is too slow, and we are tired of waiting. Ask yourself: How could I channel this “choppy” energy constructively? Or at least just burn it off?

We might also feel nervous or anxious as we become aware of what’s not working for us anymore (financially, physically, or emotionally) — and the itch to move forward and realize a new vision for ourselves feels very strong.

Maybe something needs to change… but we must take care not to rush into anything.

Ask yourself: How might staying calm in the face of uncertainty support my sanity? How might staying flexible benefit me?

What needs more space? How might thinking outside the box support my connections with others? Where do I need to take a new approach in my interactions?

This could create some anxiousness or a feeling of uncertainty. Focusing on what we want to create, rather than on what we can’t predict, is key!

Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for a deeper, more empowered experience with others, against my wish to honor my personal values and desire for freedom?

Do your best to channel this “choppy” energy in a productive way…

 

Pluto in Aquarius: Empowerment for the Future

Pluto plays a crucial role: it is not only the modern ruler of Scorpio, but it is also still part of a Minor Triangle, which remind us that spiritual practice isn’t a luxury; it’s essential.

Quiet time, reflection, and connection to our inner compass allow us to align with the vibration of the new world unfolding.

The longer the orbit, the deeper the process of change a planet symbolizes. Pluto takes 248 years to circle the Sun and spends about 20 years in each sign, versus Mars, which has a two year orbit and spends roughly 6 weeks in each sign.

While in Aquarius, Pluto invites us to reclaim our power, to be emotionally authentic when collaborating with others, community-driven, and aligned with what feels the most empowering to our and everyone else’s future — and bring this empowered vision to the world at large.

On a collective level, Pluto in Aquarius impels the transformation of communities, affiliations, groups of like-minded people, as well as major shifts in how we relate to a shared vision of the future.

Ask yourself: What’s my vision for humanity? Do I envision a future with enough space for all of us to be who we are? Or one where people condemn and judge each other for being different and unique? What role does fear play in all of this?

“Fear in the absence of real danger can endanger our mental and emotional health.” — LeAura Alderson (see her Acronym for FEAR and Spread the Love.)

And let’s keep in mind that impatience can be a form of fear as well: it can cover the fear of not moving fast enough or things not unfolding on time.

When we waste precious time dwelling on what may or may not come to pass, and on things we cannot control or change, we will inevitably feel disempowered.

But when we focus on a future that empowers all humans, on how we can elevate our connections with others, beginning with our own thoughts and behaviors, we will feel a zest for life.

Ask yourself: How might focusing on what I have influence over in the here and now, create an empowered future for myself and others?

 

Mars in Sagittarius: Courage Through Perspective

Mars (the traditional ruler of Scorpio) currently in Sagittarius squaring the Moon Nodes in Pisces-Virgo, advises us that in order to do things differently, we need to be able to see things differently, and share our assumptions, attitudes and perspectives with others, as well as ask questions.

Ask yourself: What is no longer true, meaningful, or right for me? Where do I need to be more openminded?

When does impatience and wanting to move fast create a more hostile atmosphere? What might happen if I channeled this fast-moving energy into my projects or physical exercise?

The Essence of This New Moon

To sum up, this New Moon reminds us that before we can bring in the new, it is a good idea to offer up the old; in order to move forward, it is best to release what has been holding us back.

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, some form of loss, maybe even physical death, being the recipient of physical or emotional pain, 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 feeling fully alive — make it all worth it.

This 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 or to protect ourselves.

The survival brain thinks that control brings power, certainty, and stability… but it’s all an illusion based in fear.

Remember: “Fear” is resistance to life or experiences, 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 exercise 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.

So, as best as you can, be patient and kind with yourself, if you are in that category.

Ask yourself: What if true intimacy were only possible when I allow for the full range of emotions? What if my capacity for love and joy grew directly in relation to my ability to embrace my fears and pain?

Intention Setting

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 1:47am on Nov. 20th, and 1:47am on Nov. 22nd. Except for a 62-minute Moon void of course on Nov. 20th from 4:24am until 5:26am — all of the above-mentioned times are in the New York Time zone/US Eastern Time.

If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), feel free to join my Facebook Fan-page or follow me on Twitter (“X”). I will be posting reminders on Nov. 20th, 21st, and 22nd to let you know when it is the most potent time to set your intentions.

Closing Thoughts

Again, flexibility and open-mindedness will 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.

Feel free to also watch my video on the subject…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in the following: 26-29 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, or 0-1 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? 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).

 

New Moon in Libra — the article

by | Oct 15, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, Pluto, Venus

A Call to Transform Through Connection

 

On Oct. 21st at 8:25am EDT, a New Moon becomes exact at almost 28.5 degrees of Libra  —  you may also want to watch my New Moon video.

Are you feeling unusually focused, driven — and yet tired, reactive, or emotional?

That’s no surprise. Pluto’s station phase and “out-of-bounds” movement are at their peak, amplifying intensity until Oct. 24th. Our Souls are craving transformation. We’re being asked to release outdated programming and recalibrate to higher frequencies — an evolutionary nudge from the cosmos itself.

With the Sun and Moon in Libra, and Venus — Libra’s ruler — in her own sign, all three forming aspects to a highly exalted Pluto in Aquarius, this New Moon carries deep potency. It calls us to let go of long-standing patterns in our relationships, collaborations, and connections — especially those that stifle authenticity, growth, or Soul intention.

If you’d like to explore Pluto’s current intensity in greater depth, get & watch my webinar “Exalted & Out of Bounds — Pluto at its Most Intense” 

 

The Larger Picture: Three Major Configurations

The New Moon chart reveals three key energetic patterns shaping this moment:

  1. A Grand Water Trine
  2. A T-Square
  3. A Minor Triangle

Each holds unique lessons and invitations for our evolution.

 

The T-Square: Stretching Toward Authentic Safety

The T-Square involves Jupiter in Cancer as the focal point, forming challenging squares to both the New Moon in Libra and Chiron in Aries.

Squares mark turning points — moments when we must grow beyond who we’ve been. With Jupiter at the center, we may feel impatient, reactive, or overextended. It’s easy to overpromise or push past our natural limits right now, but what’s truly called for is realism and self-compassion.

We are profoundly shaped by the conditioning we receive from birth — family, culture, religion, nation, education. To individuate and heal, we must summon courage to live from our authentic essence rather than our conditioned persona.

This T-Square reminds us that even our sense of safety is influenced by social and familial programming. A new perspective on what feels “right” or “true” is essential for relating authentically — including our tender spots and sensitivities.

Coaching reflections:

  • Are my current needs and beliefs a reflection of my highest truth?
  • What attitudes or beliefs could I release that no longer serve my growth and healing?
  • What if my sense of safety wasn’t determined by others’ ideas — or even my own old stories?
  • Could I nurture my “inner baby” and allow myself to feel vulnerable and safe at the same time?

With Capricorn as the “empty leg” of this configuration, the healing comes through mature self-parenting — setting healthy boundaries, offering structure, and staying grounded even in moments of vulnerability.

More questions to explore:

  • Where am I on my journey toward greater self-acceptance?
  • What boundaries could help me feel safe while being open?
  • Could I slow my pace just a little — and honor where I am, one day at a time?

 

 The Grand Water Trine: Emotional Integration & Grace

This harmonious alignment between Mercury–Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces supports deep emotional healing and intuitive flow.

It invites us to follow inner guidance, to rest when needed, and to soften toward past experiences or traumas. The energy encourages release — particularly from old emotional attachments — helping us trust the unfolding process and stretch gently beyond our comfort zones.

Coaching reflections:

  • Could I slow down and notice what’s truly happening inside and around me?
  • Could I allow life to “be” exactly as it is — and exactly as it isn’t?
  • Could I trust that everyone, including myself, is exactly where they need to be?
  • How might forgiveness and open-heartedness deepen this process?

Mercury’s role adds a mental clarity that helps us rewrite the stories we tell about pain or fear.

Ask yourself:

  • What stories have kept me from living a fully empowered and passionate life?
  • Am I ready to release them, even a little?
  • What might shift if I trusted the timing of everything currently unfolding?

 

The Minor Triangle: New Consciousness Emerging

This configuration — Neptune in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius, and Uranus in Gemini — is composed of outer planets that reflect the Soul’s collective evolution. All are in early degrees of their signs, symbolizing new territory and the birth of innovative social consciousness.

We’re being called to act from conviction and courage — to be bold yet discerning. The inner critic must rest while our higher self steps forward.

These energies remind us that spiritual practice isn’t a luxury; it’s essential. Quiet time, reflection, and connection to our inner compass allow us to align with the vibration of the new world unfolding.

Coaching reflections:

  • Where can I apply myself in a purer, more loving way?
  • What might become possible if I acted with my heart wide open?
  • How can I elevate my thinking — allowing my mind and connections to vibrate at a higher frequency?

 

Neptune’s Return to Pisces: A Full-Circle Journey

Within 24 hours of the New Moon, Neptune retrogrades back into 29° Pisces, an exalted degree, completing a journey begun in 2011–2012 when it first entered this sign.

This marks a moment of spiritual completion. We’re asked to remember that everything — even dense matter — is energy. Everything is interconnected.

Coaching reflections:

  • If everything is energy, might it make sense to be fully conscious of how I treat everyone and everything — including myself?
  • How might mindfulness or meditation support this awareness in daily life?
  • Could my thoughts and behaviors influence the collective field we all share?

 

Pluto’s Aspects: Transformation Through Relating

Pluto forms an out-of-sign Square to the New Moon and a Trine to Venus in Libra.

The Square pushes us to evolve through our relationships — to confront fears, own our shadow, and make space for rebirth. The Trine, meanwhile, brings magnetic new connections or deepened bonds that transform us through love and truth.

Coaching reflections:

  • Where am I ready to release a pattern, fear, or attachment that keeps me small?
  • What kind of new beginning could emerge once I make space for trust, empowerment, and higher alignment?
  • Where am I being asked to surrender control — and trust the universal process?

 

 Integration: Becoming Whole Through “The Other”

As the seventh sign of the zodiac, Libra marks a turning point in our evolution — from personal identity to interpersonal balance.

Whatever remains unintegrated from the first six signs now shows up in our relationships. Others mirror our inner dynamics, inviting us toward wholeness.

Ask yourself:

  • What if harmony and peace were mine to create within me first?

Each moment offers choice. We can fall into regret or blame — or we can choose differently next time. Each breath is a new beginning, each interaction a new possibility for awareness and alignment.

 

Intention Setting: Working with the Energy

This New Moon is an excellent time to set intentions for the lunar cycle. The optimal window opens between 11:42am on Tuesday (Oct. 21st) and 8:25am on Thursday (Oct. 23rd), once the Moon leaves its brief void-of-course phase.

If time zone conversions aren’t your thing, follow me on Facebook or Instagram for reminders when the window opens.

Special note: If your Ascendant or personal planets fall between 26–29° of Libra, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn, or 0–1° of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius, you’ll likely feel this lunation most strongly. The same applies if your Sun or Ascendant is in Leo or Cancer.

Closing Thought

This New Moon in Libra reminds us that transformation doesn’t require force — only awareness and willingness. When we honor vulnerability, authenticity, and connection, we align with the Soul’s desire to evolve through love.

 

Super Full Moon in Aries – the article

by | Sep 30, 2025 | Astrology Articles, Full Moon, Mars, Mercury, Pluto, Venus

On October 6th at 11:48pm EDT, the Sun in Libra opposes the Moon at 14º of Aries.

The Moon’s entry into Aries on Sunday night (Oct. 5/6) begins the build-up toward this powerful Super Full Moon.

This lunation spotlights what we need to heal or shift within ourselves in order to experience the peace, harmony, and balance we long for in our lives and relationships.

Before we jump in, I want to share that I have an exciting announcement about the direction I’ll be taking with my business — and what that means for Memberships. 

==> Please watch this brief video, to stay informed and make a choice that works best for you!

The Dance of Aries & Libra

The Aries–Libra polarity highlights the ongoing dance between self and other, assertion and cooperation, independence and partnership, masculine and feminine.

The Moon in pioneering Aries opposes the Sun in balance-seeking Libra, reminding us that every Full Moon brings our emotional body to the forefront. Feelings rise, what has been suppressed becomes visible, and the unconscious finds its way into form.

On a subtle level, the Moon connects us with our feminine side, our maternal conditioning, and our capacity to give and receive nourishment. At the Full Moon, what has been in the shadows comes to light — and this one is particularly potent.

Why? Because it is a Super Full Moon — the Moon is closer to the Earth, intensifying tidal pulls, tectonic stresses, and the stirrings of our emotional bodies. And since it follows a Solar Eclipse, we are still in Eclipse Season. 

Insights about relationships and partnerships will unfold more clearly after this Full Moon peaks.

The Aries–Libra Polarity

This polarity directs our awareness to the roles we identify with in our one-on-one connections. Independence meets interdependence. This Super Full Moon calls us to…

Solar Eclipse in Virgo — the article

by | Sep 13, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, New Moon, Solar Eclipse

On Sept. 21st at 3:54pm EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 29 degrees of Virgo (an exalted degree) — marking the beginning of a new Eclipse cycle.

We start to feel the effects of this New Moon the moment the Moon enters Virgo on Sept. 19th. Feel free to watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject.

Setting Intentions after a Solar Eclipse is different from setting intentions for a regular new Moon cycle. I will be talking about setting Intentions for an Eclipse cycle towards the end of this article. So stay tuned for that…

Before we jump in, let me also mention my next Star Hour which will be live on Saturday, Sept. 20th at 12:30pm EDT!

This is a FREE Livestream event about current astrological events ==> RSVP to get a reminder email

This is the second Eclipse within the last two weeks, and the fourth and last one of 2025 (we had two Eclipses in the Spring of 2025 and a Lunar Eclipse two weeks ago.)

This partial Solar Eclipse will not be visible in a lot of places, but its energy and power will be felt globally. The best places to see it will be in parts of Antarctica and New Zealand.

This Eclipse is highly unusual because it takes place in an exalted degree (29º), and less than 24 hours before the Autumn Equinox.

That, in connection with so many outer planets in new signs and early degrees, tells us that we are in a time of breakthroughs, deep clearings, and major recalibrations, all backed by tremendous support from the invisible realms.

Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes, so I should also mention that this Solar Eclipse is the first one in Virgo since the Moon Nodes moved into the Pisces-Virgo polarity, back on Jan. 11th, 2025.

This means that the last time we experienced a South Node Solar Eclipse in this Earth sign was 19 years ago (to be precise, on September 2006). It occurred at 29º of Virgo — the same degree as this one.

Think back to late 2006 and early 2007: Did you experience any major endings and beginnings? What daily routines did you release or redefine? How did you declutter your life?

Did you sweat the small stuff too much? And if you did, how did that feel? What did you learn? Where were you able to let go of the “little things”? How did you reorganize your daily work routines?

Obviously things will not play out in an identical manner, but there might be a resonance this time around…

Natal planets within 3 degrees of the Eclipse will experience more dramatic changes in their lives than others (more on that later…)

Back on January 11th-24th, 2025, the Moon Nodes were in 29 degrees of Pisces-Virgo, making this Eclipse (exact at that same degree of Virgo) a catalyst for anything that we thought of at the beginning of the year.

The next 5.5 months (the length of the Eclipse cycle) will bring a chance to reorganize our lives and step into a life that feels more closely aligned to our Soul’s desire to healthily balance head and heart, mind and soul, rational and intuitive.

This Solar Eclipse chart features numerous aspects involving the outer planets:

  • The Sun and Moon oppose Saturn in Pisces
  • Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, currently in Libra, trines Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini, creating a Grand Air Trine
  • Mercury also opposes Neptune in Aries
  • Mars in the last degree of Libra (exalted) opposes Chiron in Aries and squares an “out of bounds” (OOB) Pluto
  • Jupiter in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries

We will go into each of this aspects in a moment, but first, let’s take a look at the Virgo-aspect of this highly potent Solar Eclipse:

It asks us to release perfectionism and judgments towards ourselves and others. Judgment divides us — and what we need right now is connection.

Ask yourself: What if “process improvement” beat “perfect” every time? What if it were ok not to know everything 100%?Making mistakes might feel more uncomfortable over the next 5.5 months. Ask yourself…

Since Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 4º orb instead of 2º — and since this Solar Eclipse takes place in 29º of Virgo:

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius, or 0-3 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will feel this aspect quite 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)

For more advanced Astrology buffs, take a look at your own birth chart, or watch my webinar about the Eclipses.

The House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is most impacted by this consciousness upgrade, and where you’re most ready to release or re-organize something in your life over the next 5.5 months.

Lunar Eclipse in Pisces – the article

by | Aug 30, 2025 | Astrology Articles, Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse, Mercury, Moon Nodes, Neptune

On Sept. 7th at 2:09pm EDT, the Sun in Virgo opposes the Moon at almost 15.5º of Pisces.

All Full Moons are striking, but this one is especially noteworthy: a “Blood Moon” Lunar Eclipse. The name “Blood Moon” comes from the Moon’s red coloring during the Eclipse.

The energetic build-up begins when the Moon enters Pisces on Saturday morning, Sept. 6th ==> If you are already a Member of my online community, you may also want to watch my Lunar Eclipse video — click here.

Since Eclipse are always closely connected to the Moon Nodes, we get to experience either a North Node or South Node Eclipse. This one being a North Node Eclipse, is asking us to make an effort to integrate the Pisces energy, as best as we can, to create a healthy balance between the Pisces-Virgo polarity.

Eclipse Season

We’ve been in Eclipse Season since Aug. 23rd (the last New Moon), and will remain in it until Oct. 13th (just after the next Full Moon). This corridor is an invitation to awaken, release, and recalibrate.

So the questions here are:
✨ What am I aware of — thoughts, feelings, sensations?
✨ What am I ready to choose for myself when interacting with the world?
✨ Where will I focus my mind? My Heart?
✨ What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being in transition?

During a Lunar Eclipse, the Moon dims as Earth’s shadow passes across it. Symbolically, we are invited to…

The more an Eclipse activates our birth chart, the more we feel impelled 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 5º orb instead of 2º — so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 15.5 degrees of Pisces:

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-21 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. The same is true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

New Moon in Virgo – the article

by | Aug 17, 2025 | Astrology Articles, Mercury, New Moon

On August 23rd at 2:07am EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 0º23’ degrees of Virgo, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle. We start to feel the effects of this New Moon the moment the Moon enters Virgo, 43 minutes before the New Moon becomes exact. Feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject.

Before we get started, I just want to mention my next Star Hour on the Soulivity Community platform. 

This is a FREE Livestream event. Join us Saturday, August. 23rd at 12:30pm EDT/9:30am PT/5:30pm London-time!

==> RSVP here to get a reminder email — and if this is your first time joining us, please allow a few extra minutes to get yourself set up on the Soulivity Community platform.

Now back to the New Moon:

For several nights before and after each New Moon, we are in the dark, transitioning between old and new Moon Cycles.

We are called to turn inward, to be extra-receptive to the messages of our feelings, body, and heart. We are invited to get extra rest, release outdated energy patterns, and realign with our true soul intentions.

New Moons are thus the best time to set Intentions for the 28 days following. I will talk about the best and most potent time to plant some seeds towards the end of this article, so stay tuned!

This New Moon is special for several reasons: it takes place in 0 degrees of Virgo (an exalted degree), and is the first of two consecutive New Moons in the same sign.

The next Lunar cycle begins on Sept. 21st — it is also a New Moon in Virgo and the first South Node Solar Eclipse in this Earth sign in 19 years (to be precise, since September 2006). It occurred at 29º of Virgo — and the one this September will too!

Also, because of the upcoming Eclipses, this New Moon starts Eclipse Season and this will last until October 13th, 2025. The first Eclipse will be a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on Sept. 7th, followed by the very first Solar Eclipse in Virgo since the Moon Nodes have shifted into Pisces-Virgo on Jan. 11th of this year).

Eclipses call for physical, mental, and emotional recalibration, providing an opening to move to the next level of our personal and collective evolution.

Eclipse Season happens twice a year and it is usually an unpredictable time. Flexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season!

Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest — and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets.

Anything started from scratch during Eclipse Season will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after the Full Moon that follows the last Eclipse.

If possible, defer any brand-new projects until after October 13th, when this Eclipse season is over. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to come through

We will also talk about those upcoming Eclipses in our next Forecasting Forum on Saturday, Sept. 6th, so feel free to join us and find out more about how these Eclipses will impact your own personal evolutionary shifts.

This New Moon features numerous aspects involving the outer planets:

Uranus in Gemini squares this New Moon while Saturn and Neptune in Aries both make a Quincunx to it. This provides an impetus to “think different” and make inner adjustments so we can focus on our own path and follow our inner guidance.

On top of this, Uranus also starts its station on the day of the New Moon, preparing for its yearly Retrograde phase. This will make this innovative and insightful planet (related to cosmic breakdowns and breakthroughs) more exalted until Sept. 16th!

And then we come to Mercury, the messenger, ruler of Virgo —

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in the following: 0-3 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius, or 28-29 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? 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 powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and not during a Moon void of course phase.

So this month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be between 2:07am on Aug. 23rd, and 2:07am on Aug. 25th. (as with all my times, these times are in EDT, the New York time zone). There is no Moon VoC during the most potent time to set our Intentions, so we have free rein between those times.

If you live in a timezone other than EDT (as a reminder, that’s the US East Coast time zone), feel free to join my Facebook Fan-page, or follow me on Instagram. I will be posting reminders during this most potent time to let you know when it is time to set your intentions.

Full Moon in Aquarius – the article

by | Aug 8, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, Full Moon, Uranus

On Aug. 9th at 3:55am EDT, the Full Moon becomes exact at 17 degrees of Aquarius-Leo. The Moon’s entry into Aquarius Thursday late evening (Aug. 7th) initiates the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.

Oppositions always reflect back to the planets’ conjunction; we examine the progress made since that conjunction. For example, during a Full Moon, we look back to the previous New Moon (in this instance, July 24th) to assess what has evolved since then.

Here are the astrological highlights of this Full Moon chart:

We have several oppositions in this Full Moon chart, a “Kite” Configuration that involves all of the outer planets, and a “Rectangle” configuration. Sounds quite interesting and unusual, and that’s because it is!

But first, let’s talk about the Full Moon polarity: Here we have two oppositions in the same polarity: The Sun-Moon opposition, and a Mercury-Pluto opposition in Aquarius-Leo.

These oppositions highlight the power of our creativity as individuals and the exponential potency of collaboration. It invites us to reclaim ourselves and add our voice, heart, and hands to something meaningful.

Since Mercury is still in retrograde motion until August 11th, we may need to look back before we can move forward.

The invitation with this opposition is to dare to be different and to remember how we are all part of a larger whole. The highest quest of Leo leads to authentic Self-expression: to embody our gifts, shine our light, and live our truth.

The highest task of Aquarius, on the other hand, is the attainment of unity in diversity, where everyone’s uniqueness is honored and included.

When we align our heads with our hearts, we feel our interconnectedness with all of humanity and create and connect from love instead of fear.

Given that Leo represents our self-expression and Aquarius our vision for humankind, a question arises: How can we best balance these two energies? Or even integrate them?

We’ll seek answers to this question for the next two weeks, as we might become more aware that something is out of alignment.

All Full Moons have a shadow side — so let’s take a look at the shadow of both signs involved in this Full Moon — and please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or embrace…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 15-19 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full 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)

 

New Moon in Leo – the article

by | Jul 18, 2025 | Astrology Articles, New Moon, Pluto

On July 24th at 3:11pm EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 2 degrees of Leo — in other words, the New Moon will be exact (I recommend you also watch my New Moon video on the subject).

This begins a New Moon cycle; it invites us to tune in and seed anything we would like to manifest over the next 28 days. It’s an excellent time for all of us to set some Intentions for the next four weeks.

As always, I’ll discuss this process in more detail later in the forecast, and I’ll even provide you with the optimal times for doing so, so stay tuned for that.

Before we get started, I have an exciting announcement. I decided to have a huge SUMMER SALE! YAY! This will be your chance to get a 33% discount on all of my Readings! ==> Sale starts on July 25th, use Discount Code: SUMMER2025

Back to the New Moon:

There are several planets of importance in this New Moon chart:

  • Mercury is exalted and retrograde in Leo, making a wide conjunction to the New Moon
  • The outer planets are making some potent aspects to this New Moon:
  1. Pluto (retrograde) is exactly opposite the New Moon
  2. Uranus makes a Sextile and is in an exalted degree until August 3rd
  3. Neptune and Saturn (both retrograde) make a Trine

Planets in Retrograde motion signal what inner growth is necessary before outer changes can occur. Therefore, we are invited to slow down, double-check our motivations, and release what is no longer in alignment with our spiritual growth.

Other than the New Moon aspects, we also have: 

  • A Square between Venus and Mars
  • Mars aligning with the South Node in Virgo
  • An exalted Chiron in Aries

More about all of that in a moment; first, let’s talk about the New Moon energies:

The New Moon in Leo highlights the power of our creativity and makes our inner creative child and any physical children essential.

For the next 28 days, the New Moon in fun-loving, extroverted Leo has us looking for heartfelt experiences. We need to express ourselves, learn about love, and, in particular, learn how those things work together to help us create from the heart and a place of joy.

Think about the keywords for this self-expressed fire sign: “proud, generous, hospitable, caring, warm, authoritative, active, open, fun-loving”… How could you live into those words?

Leo is ruled by the Sun, symbol of consciousness and the unique light we came to shine in this lifetime — this is what…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 0-4 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? Or do your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer? This New Moon may impact you more than others.

And last, but not least: the New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; the best time for the intention-setting process is soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and not during a Moon void of course phase..

This month’s best and most potent time would be between 3:11pm on July 24th and 7:02am on July 26th. As always, all times are in EDT — the New York time zone.

If you live outside the EDT timezone and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest my Facebook page or following me on Twitter, Threads, Bluesky, or Instagram I will post reminders on all of those platforms on July 24th, 25th, and 26th to let you know the best time to set your intentions.

Full Moon in Capricorn — the article

by | Jul 4, 2025 | Astrology Articles, Full Moon, Saturn

On July 10th at 4:37pm EDT, the Moon in almost 19 degrees of Capricorn opposes the Sun in Cancer.

==> If not, don’t worry: right now, you can get the first month of the Universal Membership for FREE (cancel anytime via your Membership portal).

All Full Moons bring greater awareness to our current situation — what’s working and what we need to change. This Full Moon in Capricorn–Cancer asks us to pay special attention to what’s missing in our lives and take steps towards manifesting it.

Just a quick reminder: you have until July 7th at midnight EDT to sign up for the next FORECASTING FORUM with the Early Bird Special!

If you are a Star Member already, you are automatically registered for the live event on July 9th! Universal Members get a 10% discount at any time (so before and after July 9th)!

Back to the Full Moon — let’s look at the planets involved in this Full Moon chart:

  • The Moon in Capricorn trines the South Node in Virgo.
  • The Sun in Cancer trines the North Node in Pisces, and makes a wide conjunction to Jupiter.
  • Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is highly involved in this Full Moon chart:
    1. It will be exalted at the time of the Full Moon — something is “in our face” concerning our current Earth lessons
    2. It is aligned with an exalted Neptune in Aries
    3. It is part of a unique and rare Minor Triangle comprised entirely of outer planets — this includes an exalted Uranus, which switched signs from Taurus to Gemini just three days before the Full Moon was exact

I will cover Saturn in more detail momentarily, but first, let’s look at the polarities of this Full Moon:

The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn opposes the Sun in protective, feeling-oriented Cancer.

We have a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the connection we have to our feelings and emotional needs, plus our ability to feel emotionally connected to others (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals out there in the world (Capricorn).

This Full Moon asks us to…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon; 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).

New Moon in Cancer — the article

by | Jun 20, 2025 | Astrology Articles, Jupiter, New Moon

Wednesday at 6:32am EDT, the New Moon becomes exact in 4 degrees of Cancer; this is the beginning of a new Moon cycle. Feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject.

Before we jump in, I just want to mention a new Live Stream event I am doing once a month on the Soulivity Live community platform, called: THE STAR HOUR

Feel free to join our next free Live Stream on June 28th at 12:30pm EDT, and invite friends or family who have questions about Astrology that you haven’t been able to answer for them.

We’ll discuss current astrological events and your own experiences with the current energies and planetary shifts. And we will also talk about how to use this powerful tool in a compassionate and useful way that makes growing and evolving less scary and instead leaves you feeling more supported and ready for what’s to come.

Sharing is caring. Get my Soul-based perspective on Astrology and share with anyone who is curious to hear more about that.

Now back to the New Moon…

This upcoming New Moon is the first one in 23 years with a Jupiter alignment. The last one with a Jupiter conjunction in Cancer was in July 2002. This colors this New Moon in a whole new light — and all three celestial bodies will be making several aspects together:

  • A Square with the “new” Saturn-Neptune alignment in Aries (Neptune in Aries is also exalted, due to its upcoming yearly Retrograde phase, which begins on July 4th)
  • A Quincunx to Pluto in Aquarius (Pluto is also the Focal Point of a Yod aspect)
  • A Sextile to Mars in Virgo (Mars is also part of this Yod)

Here are some other aspects connected to this expansive, feeling-oriented New Moon:

  • Mercury, the planet of communication, aka “the messenger”, will also be in Cancer, making a sextile to an exalted Uranus in Taurus and a square to Chiron in Aries
  • Pluto in Aquarius trines an exalted Uranus in the last degree of Taurus and also sextiles not only an exalted Neptune in Aries, but also Saturn in Aries! This creates what’s called a Minor Triangle.
  • Venus in Taurus makes a close Trine to the South Node in Virgo and a Sextile to the North Node in Pisces

Before we unwrap the meaning of all of this, let’s first talk about the Cancer archetype:

Cancer is the first water sign of the zodiac, as such, it relates to the development of the “emotional body” — so this Moon cycle amplifies feelings, instincts, and needs.

Feelings are an essential source of information about our true needs — they are a dashboard that tells us what is healthy for us. When we don’t heed that information, we become dependent on others for validation and direction, or lose ourselves in addictions and distractions.

Ask yourself: What might I do differently if my feelings were just little children who wanted to be heard? What price might I be paying for denying or suppressing their little voices?

Cancer represents the yin, receptive principle, which births, nurtures, and protects life. The Sun and Moon in Cancer remind us that we must also receive as well as give. Both constant giving and constant taking are unhealthy and unsustainable. Cancer is all about…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra? 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 any time between 6:32am today (June 25th) and 1:16am (on Friday, June 27th) and then again, 49 minutes later, between 2:05am and 6:32am (on Friday, June 27th).

If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast time), I recommend you join my Facebook Page or follow me on Twitter, Instagram, threads, or Bluesky, as I post reminders on June 25th, 26th, and 27th to let you know when it is time to set your intentions.

 

Jupiter in Cancer until June 2026

by | Jun 8, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, Jupiter

On June 9th, 2025, at 5:02pm EDT, Jupiter changes signs from versatile, fast-thinking Gemini to nurturing, family-oriented Cancer. It journeys through this protective, vulnerable Water sign until June 29th, 2026.

Jupiter takes about a year to move through each of the twelve zodiac signs; given this, it returns to a sign approximately every twelve years. **More about dates later…

In our natal chart, Jupiter’s position reveals how we express generosity and tolerance, trust others, and improve our lives. Jupiter is about expansion, possibilities, perspectives, and mental and spiritual growth.

Ask yourself: Where do I look for wisdom and understanding? Where do I need movement and spaciousness? Where do I hold perspectives or beliefs that come from my social conditioning? How do I interpret and navigate life? Where do I feel optimistic and believe things will turn out ok? What mantra gets me through tough spots?

Jupiter represents the principle of expansion; it operates like a magnifying glass. During its time in Gemini (May 2024 – June 2025), the magnifying glass highlighted more opportunities to listen, learn, teach, or write — and to get excited about sharing and staying connected with others.

We might also have wanted to contribute to life through interesting communication and sharing information. This could have shifted our attitude towards our mental realm, including our mind, thinking, and inner dialogue.

Conversely, Jupiter in Cancer brings the magnifying lens to bear on emotional safety, home, and family. The opportunity now is to bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to creating a home that feels expansive and comfort-inducing.

This one-year transit also supports our self-care and helps us encourage our loved ones’ self-care. It helps us have faith in our ability to expand familiar connections. Again, Jupiter will be in Cancer until June 29th, 2026. During this time, we invite good fortune by…

All this is especially true if you are a Sagittarius or have a Cancer Sun or Rising sign. As a Sagittarius, you will feel a greater need to connect to loved ones and feel at home, wherever you are. 

As a Cancer, you are likely to feel a heightened sense of possibility and a strong need to grow and expand your emotional connections with others. This growth will guide how much you connect to what’s important for you between now and June 2026.

Where does Jupiter-in-Cancer fall in your birth chart? What aspects does it make during this transit? How does a wise response to one house support a more fruitful response to the next?

What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where might you experience a major expansion between now and June 2026? Where are you ready to experience more curiosity, adaptability, and exchange of information with others?

If you’d like more insight into those questions, I invite you to check out my webinar on the subject: “Optimism & Generosity with Loved Ones — An Exploration of Jupiter in Cancer“— we applied Jupiter’s movement to our own birth charts! (available after June 14th, 2025)

 

Full Moon in Sagittarius – the article

by | Jun 6, 2025 | Astrology Articles, Full Moon, Jupiter, Mercury

On June 11th, at 3:44am EDT, the Full Moon in 20.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. We start to feel the Full Moon build when the Moon enters Sagittarius late Monday morning (June 9th). 

For the next two weeks, we seek a balance as we become more aware of something that needs to be brought into alignment or integrated. The balance in question is between our mental processes — symbolized by Gemini — and our quest for a larger truth or meaning (linked to Sagittarius). 

If you are a Member of my online community and would like to learn more, please click here to watch my Full Moon video

Before we dive in, I invite you to join me on Saturday, June 14th, for my next Forecasting Forum — we will cover Jupiter’s journey through Cancer! Every 12 years Jupiter finishes its journey around the Sun.

Discover valuable insights and tools to understand your family and emotional sense of home. Join our Forum to receive personalized guidance about Jupiter’s journey through Cancer this time around!

==>  Reading this on or after June 14th? —  get my webinar: “Optimism & Generosity with Loved Ones — An Exploration of Jupiter in Cancer” here

Here’s a quick overview of what I’ll discuss in this article:

  • The Full Moon polarity (Sagittarius-Gemini) squares the Moon Nodes polarity (Pisces-Virgo), creating a dynamic Grand Cross, making this Full Moon a powerful turning point on our journey towards a greater mind-heart integration
  • The Moon in Sagittarius is also part of a supportive Grand Fire Trine, involving Mars in Leo and Chiron in Aries — bringing optimism, and enthusiasm to our healing journey, creative projects, and explorations beyond our current thinking
  • Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, moves into Cancer only 35 hours before the Full Moon becomes exact, starting a new 12-month journey through this sensitive, nurturing Water sign.
  • Jupiter at 0º Cancer (an exalted degree)! aligns with Mercury, the planet of communication, also known as the messenger (also the ruler of Gemini) — and they both square the Saturn-Neptune alignment in Aries — definitely a turning point of some kind, as well as a new beginning
  • Jupiter is also in a Mutual Reception with the Moon — they are in each other’s sign & support each other’s agenda.
  • Mercury makes a Sextile to Venus in Taurus, which makes it easier to have social interactions
  • Venus squares Pluto in Aquarius — this is an “all or nothing” energy, fear, or obsessiveness around finances or relationships are possible here
  • And lastly, Uranus in Taurus squares Mars in Leo — feels restless, and we are willing to fight for having more freedoms

More about the specifics in a moment, but bear in mind: Full Moons are always times of heightened awareness and culmination. We see things we have not been aware of before and get to make changes if we don’t like what we see.

Think back to the New Moon phase that started on May 26th: What seeds were planted then? What has “sprouted” since? What are you aware of now that was not apparent before?

Before we talk about all of the aspects of this Full Moon, let’s first talk about the Sagittarian-Gemini polarity:

Gemini deals with information exchange, observation, and objectivity, while Sagittarius deals with what lies beyond thinking — indeed, beyond information — this includes things like interpretation and ethics.

In other words, what do we think, believe, and “really know”? We are invited to become more aware of the difference between facts vs. beliefs, truth vs. fabrication, and meaningful activity vs. diversions.

At its highest vibration, Sagittarius shows us…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of Sagittarius,  Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. 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).

Again, in connection with the Saturn-Neptune alignment in Aries... We also talked about this alignment in previous Forecasting Forums and the last Star Hour, which is a new Live Stream event I am doing once a month on the Soulivity Live community platform.

Feel free to join our next free Live Stream on June 28th at 12:30pm EDT, and invite friends or family who have questions about Astrology that you haven’t been able to answer for them. I’d be delighted to provide a new perspective on Astrology to anyone who is curious.

 

New Moon in Gemini — the article

by | May 23, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, Mercury

On May 26th at 11:02pm EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 6 degrees of Gemini. I recommend you also watch my New Moon video on the subject.

Before we get started, let me share that I have another Star Hour, a livestream event on the Soulivity Community platform; we will be going LIVE on Saturday, May 31st at 12:30pm EDT/9:30am PDT/5:30pm London.

If you haven’t joined us yet, here is what you’ll get:
✨ a Live Q&A!
✨ Insights into current cosmic energies and how they affect us
✨ Practical tips to align with the universe’s flow
✨ A fun, interactive experience with a supportive community

And best of all, this is FREE, so make sure you RSVP and invite friends and family curious about Astrology but haven’t yet had a chance to dip their toes in (or dive in, if that’s where they’re at 🙂

Back to the New Moon:

One notable facet of this New Moon chart is the planetary line-up in Gemini, involving the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter!

With this much emphasis on Gemini, we are invited to pay attention to our minds, communications, and any information coming our way.

Gemini is the archetype of curiosity, communication in all its forms, and mental connections — it represents the development of language and intelligence, as well as our ability to adapt and relate to our immediate environment.

This is a “busy” energy focused on collecting information. It invites us to look at our mental programming and conditioned mind to see what new thought structures we might want to engage with.

Mercury (the ruler of Gemini) is closely aligned with the New Moon while in its own sign. The New Moon and Mercury in Gemini also trine Pluto in Aquarius. Let’s unpack that:

Mercury’s close alignment to the New Moon invites us to learn to better listen to ourselves and others, become more aware of our communications and exchanges, and see both sides of a situation.

Ask yourself: Where do I need to leave room for discussion when sharing my thoughts? If there were a handsome cash prize for listening twice as much as I speak, what would I do differently to win it? What if there were a bonus for listening with 5% more curiosity?

Our day-to-day mind (Mercury in Gemini) wants us to engage via email, text, phone, the internet, the news, chatting, connecting, and staying informed.

The New Moon and Mercury’s Trine to Pluto, conversely, helps us be…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces? 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; this is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.

So, this month, any time between 11:02pm on May 26th and 9am on May 28th. Then there will be a 4.5 hour period on May 28th, during which the Moon will be void of course, from 9am until 1:33pm. It is best to avoid setting your Intention during that time.

And from 1:33pm until 11:02pm on May 28th, still a great time to set your Intentions during the most potent time. (and please note that I provide all times in the Eastern Daylight Timezone, i.e., New York City) ==> For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here

If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-page, follow me on Instagram, threads, or twitter/X, as I post reminders on May 26th, May 27th and May 28th to let you know when it is time to set your intentions.

Again, we also mentioned the close Saturn-Neptune alignment in our most recent webinar about “Saturn in Aries until 2028” — a great 90-minute exploration of this giant planet, and how all of us (but especially Capricorn, Aquarius, and Aries) will be affected by this transit ==> For more info, click here

 

Saturn in Aries until 2028

by | May 19, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, Saturn

On May 24th at 11:35pm EDT, Saturn changes signs from creative, intuitive, and sensitive Pisces to fast-paced, enthusiastic, and active Aries. This changes our focus for the next 2.5 years!

Saturn will journey there until Sept. 1st, 2025, then it will make a second pass through Aries from Feb. 14th, 2026 — April 12th, 2028. What will need your focus and commitment until April 2028? How can you become a more responsible human being?

Saturn in Aries heralds a radical new beginning. We are called to venture into uncharted territory that demands bravery and unwavering consistency.

This transit encourages us to seek practical applications of our passions. It may also reveal that establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries and upholding integrity can enhance our maturity and trustworthiness.

Saturn in Aries also reminds us that before we can manifest our personal goals, we must examine our relationship to our human identity. We need to develop maturity, responsibility, and expertise.

It urges us to take responsibility for…

If you want to know how Saturn’s journey through Aries will impact you personally over the next 2-3 years, feel free to get access to my webinar on this subject here. We took a look at how this transit impacts our birth charts.

All this is especially true if you are a Capricorn or Aries Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel the need to focus on building something new and your human identity.

As an Aries, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious, and mature, in the next 2-3 years. 

 

Full Moon in Scorpio — the article

by | May 7, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, Full Moon, Pluto

On May 12th at 12:56pm EDT, the Moon in 22 degrees of Scorpio opposes the Sun in 22º of Taurus. The entrance of the Moon into Scorpio on May 10th in the afternoon begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.

For the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities and are 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).

Even though Eclipse season is long over, significant shifts and purges do continue.

The Moon, in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, not only opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus, but also Uranus, the planet most associated with breakthroughs, innovation & change.

Ask yourself: How might I stay calm in this uncertain climate, to support my sanity?

And keep in mind while Uranus has been traveling through Taurus (May 15, 2018 — July 7, 2025 & Nov. 7th, 2025 — April 2026) we have been invited to transcend outdated mindsets around money, values, and security.

Back to the Full Moon:

This Full Moon shows us how far we have come, as well as what we might still need to release or transform, if we are to manifest what has begun at the time of the New Moon that occurred on April 27th.

Another thing to consider: Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, went retrograde on May 4th at almost 4 degrees of Aquarius — and its Station phase will still last until May 19th, which makes this planet more exalted until then.

Check to see what has been coming up since April 22nd when it comes to facing your fears and valuing yourself and your authentic relationships with others.

Ask yourself: What inauthentic (or even toxic) relationships must I still release or transform to step into greater abundance and happiness? What fears must likewise be released or transformed?

Pluto in Aquarius in its Retrograde phase is asking us to be authentic in our interactions and look at our own motivations for connecting with people, networks, affiliations, causes, etc.

Given this, ask yourself: Am I coming from love, inclusion, and an open heart? Or am I coming from fear, separation, and wanting to fight? Or protect?

This Full Moon will most likely stimulate our emotional body and increase our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears.

We may feel more easily triggered as buried emotions, motivations, and fears surface. Please be aware of projections and jumping to conclusions.

If you are unsure whether you are projecting something on someone else, check for defensiveness, over-reactivity, or difficulty being objective while exhibiting rigid behaviors.

There are several aspects worth mentioning in this Full Moon chart:

  • Pluto (the ruler of Scorpio) is currently in Aquarius — and highly exalted — squares Mercury in Taurus (exact), sextiles Neptune in Aries, and makes a wide opposition to Mars in Leo (this was at its strongest April 18-May 3rd and exact on April 26th, at the time of the last New Moon)
  • Mars (the co-ruler of Scorpio), currently in Leo, tries Venus in Aries and makes a wide Square to Mercury in Taurus (making Mercury the Focus Point of a T-Square)
  • Venus (the ruler of Taurus), currently in Aries, aligns with Neptune
  • The Moon in Scorpio opposes the Sun-Uranus alignment in Taurus, and trines Saturn and the North Node in Pisces
  • Last but not least, Saturn in a very late degree of Pisces aligns not only with the North Node in Pisces but also with Neptune in Aries and sextiles the Sun-Uranus alignment in Taurus

Again, the time of the Full Moon brings greater awareness to what was unconscious or hidden previously. This particular one invites us to let go of…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-24 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon; the same is true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer). 

 

New Moon in Taurus — the article

by | Apr 22, 2025 | Astrology Articles, New Moon, Pluto, Venus

On April 27th at 3:31pm EDT, the New Moon becomes exact in almost 8 degrees of Taurus. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle.  Click here to watch my video on the subject.

Get quiet and listen for new messages or ideas as best as you can. If you pick any up, fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle — I will share this process later in the forecast and give you the best and most potent times for it.

Before we jump in, I invite you all to join me on April 26th at 11:30am EDT for a FREE event. I will be doing another STAR HOUR via the Soulivity community platform. Please join us live to get the maximum benefit! After April 26th, feel free to watch the replay, here!

This is a FREE event for anyone curious about Astrology, has questions about controversial issues, or has a hard time wrapping their head around something. Invite Family and Friends! ==> RSVP here

First, let me just say that Pluto, the planet most associated with transformation and the path towards greater inner power — is currently in Aquarius, and is exalted at the time of the New Moon (because it slows down for its yearly Retrograde phase) 

Since Pluto will be exalted from April 22nd until May 19th, we will feel its powerful, transformative energy not only with this New Moon, but also very strongly with the next Full Moon which will be in Scorpio.

Secondly, This New Moon squares Mars in Leo and the exalted Pluto in Aquarius, creating a T-Square. 

Squares signify important turning points that inspire us to shift our perspective and direction to make progress. They encourage us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond our previous boundaries and the comfort zones we have been in until now.

This particular T-Square has the Sun and Moon in Taurus as the focal planets; we might feel the stress of fast-paced interactions with others or life itself. We are asked to reinvent how we handle this stress.

Taurus longs to take it easy and enjoy life. It loves comfort and a comfortable routine, physical and material safety, and security. So, how can we work with this “stretch” aspect and keep our cool?

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 5-10 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, 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 powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and not during a Moon void of course phase.

This month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be between 3:32pm on Sunday, April 27th, and 3:31 pm on Tuesday, April 29th. The only exception will be a 1-hour period on Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, April 28/29th — there will be a brief Moon VoC between 1:18am and 2:34am. All of the above times are given in US East Coast time.

For more info on setting New Moon Intentions, click here. 

If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US-Eastern Daylight Savings Time), join my Facebook Page or follow me on Instagram, Twitter  (X), or Threads. I will post reminders on April 27th, 28th, and 29th — to let you know that it’s the best time to set your intentions.

Again, feel free to join us for the next monthly Forecasting Forum live on May 14th at 6:30pm EDT. Save the date! We will talk about Saturn’s shift into Aries, another important planetary change.

Saturn’s first pass into Aries will occur on May 24th! It will journey there until Sept. 1st, 2025, and after dipping back into Pisces for 5 months, it will remain in Aries until April 2028!

 

Full Moon in Libra — the article

by | Apr 5, 2025 | Astrology Articles, Full Moon

On April 12th, at 8:22pm EDT, the Full Moon becomes exact in 23 degrees of Libra.

April 10th in the evening, the Moon enters Libra, beginning the build of energy towards this eventful Full Moon — and almost 47 hours later, the Sun in Aries opposes the Moon in Libra.

All Full Moons provide an opportunity for heightened awareness and integration of traits related to their polarities, particularly those we may have neglected or suppressed.

This Full Moon has intensified effects on us for several important reasons.

First, we are still in Eclipse Season until April 21st. This is a period characterized by uncertainty and change that encourages us to embrace an upgrade in our consciousness.

So the questions here are: What am I aware of? What will I choose? Where will I focus my mind? My Heart? What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being in transition?

Secondly, there are some powerful aspects in this Full Moon chart:

  • The Moon trines Jupiter in Gemini
  • The Moon also opposes Chiron, which aligns with the Sun in Aries
  • Mars, the ruler of Aries, is currently in Cancer, forming a square aspect with Chiron and the Full Moon polarity of Libra/Aries. This makes Mars the focal point of a powerful T-square that has its empty leg located in a late degree of Capricorn.
  • Venus, the ruler of Libra, halts in Pisces just 40 minutes after the Full Moon’s peak. This marks the end of her six-week Retrograde phase and the beginning of her post-Shadow phase. 
  • While highly exalted, Venus aligns with Saturn, the North Node, and Mercury, forming part of a stellium — and all of these planets in Pisces also trine Mars in Cancer and sextile Uranus in Taurus!
  • Mercury is also exalted, having ended its 3-week Retrograde phase on April 7th, changing direction in Pisces just five days before Venus.

More about all of these aspects in a moment — and if you are a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Full Moon video here.

This Full Moon illuminates the Libra-Aries axis, prompting us to explore the balance between seemingly opposite energies: masculine and feminine, action and stillness, giving and receiving, clutching and releasing.

The Libra-Aries polarity highlights the spiritual dance between various polarities:

* individual drives/goals and one-on-one relationships
* masculine and feminine (in their ideal versions)
* independence and collaboration

Regardless of being single or “in a relationship,” we all have relationships with others—whether in business, personal matters, health, or any other one-on-one interaction.

As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is about cultivating independence, initiative, and the courage to forge new paths.

Libra, positioned opposite Aries in the zodiac, seeks harmony in relationships while maintaining personal truth and values. Aries, ruled by Mars, embodies the warrior archetype and represents the sacred masculine. In contrast, Libra is governed by Venus, the goddess of love, symbolizing the divine feminine.

Regardless of gender, we all possess both masculine and feminine energies. When one energy is ignored or suppressed, it can lead to…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 21-25 degrees of Libra, Aries, Capricorn, or Cancer? If so, you may feel the effects of this 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).

 

Solar Eclipse in Aries — the article

by | Mar 22, 2025 | Astrology Articles, Mars, New Moon, Solar Eclipse

On March 29th at 6:58am EDT, a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse becomes exact in 9º of Aries, launching a new Moon and Eclipse cycle.

Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons that occur approximately every six months. You may also want to watch my Solar Eclipse video.

This New Moon is significant for two reasons:

It is the year’s first Solar Eclipse and follows March 14th’s Lunar Eclipse.

It is also the final event of an Aries-Libra Eclipse cycle that began with the Solar Eclipse on April 20th, 2023 and continued with the Solar Eclipse on April 8th, 2024. We will have to wait 18 years for the next one; this cycle will start again in April 2043.

What have you discovered about your physical vitality and self-identity since 2023? Where in your life are you called to leave The Comfort Zone? Has this been a humbling experience so far?

The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, but during a Solar Eclipse, the Moon blocks the Sun’s light because it is 400 times closer to Earth. This interruption elevates our consciousness, marking the start of new experiences, projects, or cycles.

This Eclipse is a Partial Solar Eclipse! These happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth but only partially covers the Sun.

This Partial Eclipse will be visible in the northeastern parts of North America (mostly Maine and northeast Canada), North-West Africa, parts of Europe, and Russia.

No matter where you are on the planet, however, the effects of the Eclipse will be transformative. Solar Eclipses, in particular, often correspond to significant endings and beginnings.

They occur close to the same degree every 19 years, and the last time we had a New Moon/Solar Eclipse in almost the same degree (8.5) and sign was on March 29th, 2006.

We will likely experience a resonance between now and that time — “resonance,” not repetition — so think back to the Spring of 2006 and ask yourself: Were there any significant endings and beginnings? What was important to me back then? If I were to take those priorities to the next level, where would that next level find me?

For more guidance on those questions, it is best to take a look at our Natal Charts — the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest to embrace a healthy sense of Self and rise to a new level of consciousness around independence and forging our path, gently and holistically.

Eclipses are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We will experience a release and recalibration because old programs will get deleted and new ones downloaded.

And for this Eclipse, this is especially true in connection with our relationship to our human identity and sense of agency — how courageous we feel about starting something new or starting something over.

This begins with our role in our interactions with others, whether we can be honest and direct about our personal goals and passions and inspire others to follow our example.

Solar Eclipses are an excellent time to go within, seed anything we want to integrate into our personality, and improve our self-understanding. This will remain true for six months until the next Solar Eclipse (Sept. 21st, 2025).

We will dig into this in more detail towards the end of this article when we talk about setting Solar Eclipse Intentions. Setting Intentions for Solar Eclipses differs from a regular New Moon! So stay tuned!

Eclipses are crossroads or turning points along our Soul’s Journey. They often mark events or situations that signify a critical shift in our lives, nudging us to change and grow, or face more significant difficulties at the next turning point.

If there is anything we haven’t been able to change since the Spring of 2023 that we have been toying with, now is the time to do it.

The next turning point will be on June 30th — when the Sun in 9º of Cancer squares this month’s Solar Eclipse degree.

As we remain in Eclipse Season until April 21st, the coming weeks could offer some tailwinds that carry us to significant breakthroughs; we are invited to learn how to be conscious creators, mindful of how our thinking and choices affect our personal and collective experiences.

As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better — the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.

Stay grounded and flexible — and don’t jump the gun for the next 4 weeks — if you feel compelled to do something, do your best to observe the urge — unless it is connected to something that happens organically — if you are ambivalent about taking an action, better hold off until Eclipse Season ends on April 21st.

A couple of things to note for this Solar Eclipse chart:

* The Sun and Moon align with a Retrograde Mercury in an exalted degree
* Mercury aligns with Neptune (both in exalted degrees)
* Neptune moves into 0 degrees of Aries only 25 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact
* Mars, the ruler of Aries, is in Cancer, making a Square to Chiron in Aries and making several Trines to planets in Pisces (including Saturn, the North Node, Venus, and Neptune)
* Moon in Aries makes a “mutual reception” to Mars in Cancer

Before we go any further, let’s first talk about the sign of Aries:

This Solar Eclipse in pioneering, fast-paced Aries focuses more on our independence and dynamism  — you could say that we seek…

Since Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 4º orb instead of 2º — and since this Solar Eclipse takes place in 9º of Aries:

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-13 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn? 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)

Setting Intentions for a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process — after all, we are setting them for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle rather than just the next 28 days.

Solar Eclipse Intentions are best done 48 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact. This is because we are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse, and the energies are pretty intense, so we want to wait until it all settles down a little before setting our intentions — that said, it’s best to avoid setting them during a Moon void of course.

Given all this, here are the best and most potent times to set your Intentions for this Solar Eclipse: Between 6:58am on Monday, March 31st, and 1:42pm on Tuesday April 1st. Then again, from 4:26pm on April 1st until 6:58am on Wednesday, April 2nd. Note that all times above are given in US Eastern Time — i.e., the New York time zone.

Set powerful intentions — remember, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the Aries energy!

If you live in a timezone other than EDT and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook page and/or following me on Instagram, X (Twitter) or Thread, as I post reminders on those platforms when it’s time to set your intentions.

Upcoming Live Events: on Saturday April 12th at 12:30am EDT: my monthly Forecasting Forum, titled: “Ambition & Drive”.

Powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Virgo — the article

by | Mar 7, 2025 | Astrology Articles, Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse, Mercury, Neptune

On March 14th, at 2:55am EDT/6:55am GMT, the Moon in 24 degrees of Virgo opposes the Sun in Pisces.

The entrance of the Moon into Virgo on March 12th starts the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon — if you are an active Member of my online community, you may also want to watch my video on the subject

Before we get started: I wanted to invite all of you to join me for a FREE EVENT on Friday, March 14th at 12pm EDT/4pm GMT — the day of the Lunar Eclipse. It’s called “The Star Hour with Astrologer Coach Sonja Francis” on Soulivity.com

==> RSVP here to save the date to your calendar and join us live. It’s a Q&A session: Everything you always wanted to know about Astrology and were afraid to ask…

This Full Moon is also a Total Lunar Eclipse; more about this below. Eclipses are extra powerful New and Full Moons, signaling significant endings and beginnings. They occur close to the same place in the zodiac every 19 years.

There are two Eclipse Seasons per year. They give us the opportunity to upgrade our energy, emotional, and mental bodies, together with our physical experience.

In 2025, we will encounter four Eclipses (two in March and two in September). These will be similar in sign and degree to the Eclipses in March and September of 2006.

This Eclipse Season started on Feb. 27th (at the time of the last New Moon) and lasts until April 21st (past the next Full Moon in Libra).

During this time, it’s important to stay grounded and flexible. Avoid rushing into decisions until April 21st.

If you feel a strong urge to take action, do your best to observe that urge unless it’s connected to something that arises naturally. If you are unsure about a potential action, waiting until Eclipse Season is over is best.

During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow; this stimulates our emotional body and increases our awareness of unconscious patterns and thought forms.

As noted above, this Full Moon is a Total Lunar Eclipse; these occur when the Moon moves entirely into the central, darkest part of the Earth’s shadow (also known as the “umbra”). During totality, the Moon can appear reddish-orange, earning these eclipses the ancient name of “Blood Moon“.

The Blood Moon may find us more easily triggered as buried emotions and/or fears surface. Please be alert for when you may be projecting psychologically and jumping to conclusions.

Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so it may help to remember that Eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul’s path.

The entire Eclipse will be visible — and at its best — across most of the Americas (North and South), with glimpses for Europe, Africa, and East Asia. Totality lasts about an hour, so we can expect to sense the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for the next four weeks, until April 14th.

This Lunar Eclipse is the first of two Eclipses within two weeks; it offers an opportunity for a more balanced connection between the head and the heart.

A Partial Solar Eclipse in Aries will follow on March 29th — the last one of its kind until 2042! I will be recording a video about this around March 21st/22nd — so watch out for that.

==> You can join my next Forecasting Forum to ask questions about the Eclipses. Live on Wednesday, March 12th at 6:30pm EDT/10:30pm GMT. The Early Bird Special ends on March 10th at midnight EDT.

All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads, symbolized by the signs involved.

This Total Eclipse takes place with the Moon in detail-oriented, practical, analytical Virgo  and the Sun in creative, free-flowing, sensitive Pisces.

Eclipses are usually powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (collective and individual). The Moon Nodes started their journey through Pisces-Virgo on Jan. 11th, 2025, and they will remain there until July 26th, 2026!

Feel free to get & watch my webinar, “Our Soul’s Journey: Unveiling the Significance of the Moon Nodes in Pisces-Virgo”, here

You can also read my article on the Moon Nodes here

This Full Moon is the second Lunar Eclipse in the Pisces-Virgo polarity and marks the culmination of progress made since last September.

On March 14th, we can ask ourselves: How far have we come since the last Eclipse Season that began in September of 2024? What can we see now that was not apparent then?

This Eclipse also constitutes a new collective Soul’s Journey, which emphasizes the balance between making more of an effort to trust our connection to the divine and our intuition, and our ability to discern what works and doesn’t work for us when it comes to our day-to-day well-being.

This powerful Full Moon also calls us to release or redefine our conditioned minds, our judgments of ourselves and others, and anything disconnected from our hearts.

We are encouraged to become more aware of our biases, approach anything we do not know or understand with compassion, and bring acceptance and unconditional love to our interactions with others.

With a new Eclipse cycle, this is a longer-term process — in this case, one that will last until February 2027.

Full Moons illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices. We become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored. This being a South Node Eclipse, we need to bring greater awareness to the Virgo energy.

We might want to ask ourselves: What has become toxic, unhealthy, or unmanageable in connection with my rational/scientific mind?

Here are the astrological highlights of this Lunar Eclipse chart:

  • The Sun aligns with Saturn, the North Node, and Neptune in Pisces
  • The Moon aligns with the South Node in Virgo and opposes Saturn, the North Node, and Neptune in Pisces, and trines Uranus in Taurus
  • The Sun/Saturn alignment trines an exalted Mars in Cancer and sextiles Uranus in Taurus
  • Mercury (the ruler of Virgo and the Lunar Eclipse) is highly exalted in Aries at the time of the Eclipse, coming to a halt only 24 hours after the Eclipse, starting its 3-week Retrograde phase
  • Mercury also aligns with an exalted Retrograde Venus in Aries and sextiles Jupiter in Gemini
  • Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) remains in an exalted degree until March 30th

I will talk about all of these in more detail, but first, let’s take a closer look at the polarities involved here:

The Moon in Virgo advises us to…

The more an Eclipse activates our birth chart, the more we feel called to go to the next level. Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I tend to use a 4º orb instead of 2º — so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 24 degrees of Virgo-Pisces:

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-28 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. The same is true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

 

New Moon in Pisces — the article

by | Feb 22, 2025 | Astrology Articles, Neptune, New Moon

On Feb. 27th at 7:45pm EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 9.5 degrees of Pisces, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle. Feel free also to watch my New Moon video on the subject

This Lunation also marks the beginning of Eclipse Season — which lasts until April 21st.

This is usually an unpredictable time, as we are recalibrating on a physical, mental and emotional level which gives us a chance to move to the next level of our evolution – on a personal and collective level.

So the questions here are: What am I aware of until the end of April? What will I choose? Where will I focus my mind? My Heart?

What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being in transition?

We will also discuss Eclipse Season in connection with the current Moon Nodes in more detail in our Special webinar on Tuesday, Feb. 25th at 6:30pm EST/3:30pm PST ==> You can join us live or register to get the mp4-video presentation.

Please remember: This webinar is a standalone event; everyone must register!

Now, back to the New Moon:

New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle and are an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.

Since this one occurs in Pisces, this New Moon invites us to connect with our inner divinity and ability to receive, trust our intuition, and contribute to life from a heart-centered and empathic place.

In this New Moon chart, we have two highly exalted planets, Venus and Mars, representing the feminine and masculine principles.

Mars is highly exalted due to its Station phase, as it nears the end of its 11-week Retrograde phase on Feb. 23rd (four days before the New Moon becomes exact).

With Mars highly exalted in Cancer, we feel more protective of our loved ones, homes, and feelings. We will be more aware of safety regarding achieving our goals.

Mars will make several harmonious aspects in this New Moon chart to the planets in Pisces. I will go into them in more detail below — but first:

With Venus so highly exalted, we are encouraged to pay closer attention to what truly matters to us, including our values, preferences, likes, and dislikes.

This is also a time to reflect on how we spend or invest our money, what ignites our passions (and what dampens them), and what is important to us now.

Venus comes to a halt to begin her 6-week Retrograde phase on March 1st, two days after the New Moon becomes exact.

I covered those Station phases and the upcoming Venus Retrograde phase in a recent webinar, “Courage through Vulnerability”. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it — and if you do not have access to it, just go to my webinar page here.

This New Moon chart has five planets in Pisces: the Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune.

Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) also conjuncts the North Node in Pisces, which represents our Soul’s current direction.

This alignment asks us to pay particular attention to our connection with the divine and our intuitive knowing & connection to the Universe. It also invites us to…

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 7-12 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. 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).

Before I talk about New Moon Intentions, I’d like to mention again all the ways you can deepen your own experience and self-alignment with the support of Astrology. Join us for:

The New Moon is also the best time to set powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and not during a Moon Void of Course phase.

So this month, the two best and most potent times to set intentions would be between 7:45pm on Feb. 27th and 3:05am on March 1st and then again from 4:52am until 7:45pm on March 1st — New York time.

If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), I recommend you join my Facebook page or follow me on Instagram or Twitter/X as I post reminders on Feb. 27th, 28th, and on March 1st to let you know when to set your intentions.

New Moon in Aquarius — the article

by | Jan 23, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, Pluto, Uranus

On Jan. 29th at 7:36am EST, a powerful New Moon in almost 10 degrees of Aquarius becomes exact; this is the beginning of a new Moon cycle. I also recommend you watch my video on the subject.

The New Moon in Aquarius invites us to go out there and connect with “our people” — to find a tribe that resonates and perhaps also a cause that feels aligned with our values and our need for stability and comfort. This connection serves a larger vision for our financial future and the future of our planet, etc.

This New Moon occurs on the same day the Chinese New Year begins, marking the start of the Year of the Yin Wood Snake.

Chinese astrology divides the zodiac into 12 signs based on years rather than months. Each sign is represented by an animal, and the system also incorporates five elements — Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood — each expressed as either yin or yang. This results in 120 possible “years” (12 animals x 5 elements x 2 energetic expressions).

Therefore the last time we had the year of the Yin Wood Snake was in 1905.

The Snake symbolizes wisdom, charm, elegance, and transformation. The Year of the Snake is best approached with intuition, strategic insight, and intelligence.

The Wood element represents growth, flexibility, and harmony. It is associated with spring, new beginnings, independent thinking, and innovation.

This is a “Yin” year, which signifies a more introspective and slower pace than a “Yang” year. Yin energy is associated with calmness, receptivity, and inward reflection, suggesting that we can expect a year focused on introspection, healing, and personal development.

The best way to navigate the Year of the Yin Wood Snake is to conserve energy and focus on activities that move you forward. Listen to your intuition and slow down when you feel friction.

Ask yourself: Where do I feel friction? Where is my focus? What simple actions will support me in moving forward the most? Could I get quiet, tune in, and receive the answers to those questions?

Returning to Western Astrology, we have two exalted planets in this New Moon chart: Uranus — the planet associated with breakdowns, breakthroughs, and innovation — and Jupiter — a giant planet most associated with expansion and growth.

Ask yourself: What in my life is asking for accelerated progress? Where do I need to grow beyond what I already know? What is there still to learn?

As Venus — the planet of self-love, relationships, and values — enters her pre-Shadow phase on January 28th, we begin a journey that will ultimately take us through some profound inner exploration.

You can also read more about Venus’ pre-Shadow phase in my Weekly Forecasts blog: Jan. 27th – Feb. 2nd

The pre-Shadow phase starts just 23 hours before the New Moon becomes exact, offering us a chance to explore themes of love, self-worth, and relating in preparation for Venus’Retrograde cycle (March 1st – April 12th).

During our next Forecasting Forum on February 15th, we’ll dive deeply into this Venus Retrograde phase as it unfolds in Aries and Pisces.

We will:

1. Explore the exalted Energies of Mars and Venus to understand how the interplay of exalted feminine and masculine energies can support our growth and healing during this period.

2. Navigate Venus Retrograde with Awareness: We will reflect on the themes of self-love and connection that Venus invites us to revisit, clarifying how these energies may manifest in your chart.

3. Create Space for Questions and Shared Insights, providing an opportunity for real-time support and a deeper connection with our astrological practice.

Whether you join us live or watch the recording later, this Forum offers a unique space for exploration, connection, and support as we navigate the upcoming planetary shifts together.

Bonus: Joining our monthly Forecasting Forum will also give you access to my NEW Astrologer Coach community group. I have created this group so you can connect with like-minded people and share your passion for Soul-Based Astrology with people who understand the language.

If you are already a member of my online community, please check your emails (including your junk mail) for the invitation to join this group. I sent it out on Jan. 19th in the afternoon when the Sun moved into Aquarius.

And there is a SECOND Bonus: You will get a discount coupon for my very Special webinar about the Moon Nodes in Pisces-Virgo, live on Feb. 25th. This is not a Forecasting Forum. So if you are a Star Member you will need to register as well!

For more info about this in-depth 90+ webinar about our new Soul-direction for the next 18 months, click here.

Here is what we will cover in connection with this New Moon: 

  • A planetary Line-Up in Aquarius and Pisces creates a robust focus on those two signs. The Aquarian line-up includes Pluto (the energy of transformation and desire for empowerment), Mercury (the planets most associated with processing and distributing information as well as communicating), and the Sun and the Moon – our masculine and feminine sides (our yin and yang, our conscious and unconscious processes)

With all this, we are asked to be extra-mindful about our connections with other people. It invites us to contemplate how we impact everyone’s life around us — consciously or unconsciously, on purpose or by default.

We are also asked to bring integrity and maturity to our connections with others and our collaborations — and to choose Love over fear whenever possible.

Let’s first talk a little bit about Aquarius and what the Line-up of planets represents before jumping into the other aspects of this New Moon chart:

The highest vibration of Aquarius represents…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 8-12 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? 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).

Finally, let’s talk “New Moon Intentions”: The New Moon is the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; this is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact and not during a Moon void of Course phase.

That means that this month, the best time and most potent time to set intentions would be any time between 7:36am on Wednesday, Jan. 29th and 6:29am on Thursday, Jan. 30th. Then again from 5:52pm on Jan. 30th until 7:36am on Friday, Jan. 31st – (New York Time/US Eastern Time)

If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast) and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook page and following me on Instagram or Twitter. I will post reminders to let you know when to set your New Moon intentions.

Moon Nodes in Pisces-Virgo — the article

by | Jan 11, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, Moon Nodes

January 11th at 6:02pm EST, the Moon Nodes switch from Aries-Libra to Pisces-Virgo; they will remain in those signs until July 26th, 2026! The last time the Moon Nodes were in these particular signs was back in late June 2006 until December 2007.

The transiting Moon Nodes show us what our Soul’s Journey currently requires on the collective and personal levels — let’s take a closer look at what this means:

The goal of the collective Soul’s Journey is to achieve balance and integration between two opposing energies: compassion and intuitive flow, represented by Pisces, and discernment and analytical thought, associated with Virgo.

We will thus need to look closely at the balance between “head” and “heart”, and become more conscious about our tendency to judge and label things as “good or bad”, “right or wrong”.

Virgo seeks personal and practical wholeness on the physical plane. To balance these energies, we must remember a transcendent wholeness—our divinity and interconnectedness with all life, represented by Pisces.

When this polarity is balanced, we can discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves.

We can improve our daily lives without getting hung up on timing or perfectionism, bringing love and compassion to all of life’s apparent curveballs.

The Moon Nodes in Pisces-Virgo encourages us to balance left and right brain, logic and creativity.

We must learn to cultivate a sharp, discerning mind that works in harmony with the wisdom of our hearts and the guidance of our intuition.

If you’d like more details on how the Moon Nodes’ movements impact you personally until July 2026, feel free to join me for my Special webinar: “Our Soul’s Journey: Unveiling the Significance of the Moon Nodes in Pisces-Virgo” — on Tuesday, Feb. 25th at 6:30pm EST

I enthusiastically urge you to watch this webinar! It will provide valuable insights into the lessons and significance of the transiting Moon Nodes in Pisces-Virgo, guiding you on your journey through this crucial polarity over the next 18 months!

Back to the Pisces-Virgo polarity, and let’s also take a look at Neptune, Saturn & Jupiter’s involvement…

The North Node in Pisces invites us to make an effort to embrace qualities such as…

The Moon Nodes are also connected to the Eclipse cycles; each of these cycles prompts us to evolve and provides an opportunity to progress to the next level of our Soul’s Journey — collectively and individually speaking.

The Eclipse dates that are connected to this particular polarity are:

  • September 17th, 2024 – North Node (NN) Lunar Eclipse in 25.5 degrees of Pisces-Virgo
  • March 14h, 2025 – South Node (SN) Lunar Eclipse in almost 24 degrees of Virgo-Pisces
  • September 7th, 2025 – North Node (NN) Lunar Eclipse in 15.5 degrees of Pisces-Virgo
  • September 21st, 2025 – SN Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees of Virgo
  • March 3rd, 2026 – SN Lunar Eclipse in almost 13 degrees of Virgo-Pisces
  • Aug. 28th, 2026 – NN Lunar Eclipse in almost 5 degrees of Pisces-Virgo
  • Feb. 20th, 2027 – SN Lunar Eclipse in 2 degrees of Virgo-Pisces

— Please check my Weekly Forecasts or Bi-Monthly videos for more info about each Eclipse. Given that we are mostly experiencing Lunar Eclipses in connection with this polarity, we are most certainly invited to find a balance between those two signs.

The Lunar Eclipse in 25.5º of Pisces-Virgo on Sept. 17th, 2024, started this new Eclipse cycle connected to the Pisces-Virgo polarity. What began at that time for you? What ended?

Where might your Soul’s journey take you over the next 18 months? How can you best align yourself with this new collective Soul’s Journey in the Pisces-Virgo polarity?

If you’d like more details on how the Moon Nodes’ movements impact you personally until July 2026, watch my webinar: “Our Soul’s Journey: Unveiling the Significance of the Moon Nodes in Pisces-Virgo”.

Full Moon in Cancer — the article

by | Jan 8, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts, Astrology Articles, Full Moon, Moon Nodes, Saturn

On Jan. 13th, at 5:27pm EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in 24 degrees of Cancer. The entrance of the Moon into Cancer late on Jan. 11th begins the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.

Quick announcement: I have two very Special Offers for anyone who is interested in maximizing their support with Astrology this year! Stay tuned until the end of this article for more…

Relationships of all kinds are highlighted during the time of the Full Moon — but with this Lunation, there is a powerful emphasis on family- and business relationships. If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Full Moon video, here.

Many planets are involved in this Full Moon chart — including Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars, who are all still Retrograde.

  • At the time of the Full Moon, Uranus will be in Taurus, sextiling the Moon in Cancer and trining the Sun in Capricorn — this will support the integration of the Full Moon polarity. Uranus will become exalted a week after the Full Moon becomes exact, as it prepares to end its 5-month Retrograde phase on Jan. 30th.
  • The Moon in Cancer aligns with Retrograde Mars, and they both trine the Neptune-North Node alignment in Pisces
  • Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn) aligns with Venus in Pisces; both square Jupiter in Gemini at the time of the Full Moon.
  • Mercury, the planet of communication (aka “the messenger”) is currently in Capricorn and sextiles Venus in Pisces
  • The most challenging aspect in this Full Moon chart is a T-Square — with Chiron in Aries as the Focal Point — making Libra the Solution of this T-Square.

All of the above-mentioned play an important role, so buckle up! More about the specifics regarding all of these planets in a moment. But first, let’s talk about the first Full Moon of 2025: 

This Lunation shows us how well we are doing with self-care and any issues connected to family or home — and also where we are in connection to greater emotional responsibility and self-alignment.

Ask yourself: What’s my relationship to self-care? Where do I feel most “at home”? What’s my understanding of my emotional needs?

How might an emotional connection to myself and my loved ones benefit me? How might it shift my priorities?

Let’s look at the polarities involved with this Full Moon: The Moon in protective, feeling-oriented Cancer opposes the Sun in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn.

We have a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the experience of our personal feelings and emotional needs (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals (Capricorn).

It’s important to realize that we all have limitations and challenges in life — and when we approach those in a nurturing way, taking care of our feeling body and inner baby, and allowing ourselves to receive support from family or “familiar” connections”, we are more likely to overcome those challenges and be realistic about current limitations — our own, and other people’s.

Ask yourself: How am I balancing the demands of my outer and inner life? Home life vs. career? Where am I able to be mature and self-reliant — and also contribute? Where am I giving too much? Not enough?

Do I love what I do and where I live? Where do I need to re-evaluate my goals and priorities? Where do I need to set healthy limits and boundaries?

Any Full Moon also has us look more closely at the denser vibrations or shadow components of the energies involved. Cancer must learn about receiving and developing healthy roots; Capricorn, about giving back and sharing the fruits of its labor.

With Cancer, this is also our ability to feel safe from within — but what protected us in the past may no longer work — our needs may have changed over time.

The more we disregard our own feelings and needs, the greater the risk that we will violate the concerns and rights of others.

Ask yourself: What happens when I don’t allow myself to feel my feelings or acknowledge my needs? Where do I need to shed my defenses? Where do I need to establish better boundaries? Where do I react instead of respond?

The latter question is so important that I created a webinar around it: “React vs. Respond — Where in the chart can we learn about our emotional maturity?” ==> If you haven’t seen it yet, click here for more info!

This webinar comes with really great handouts that are very useful for understanding your own relationship to emotional maturity, and how to grow it…

Also: This webinar is highly discounted until Jan. 21st; with discount coupon: RVR4LESS you can get a 40% discount!

Please keep in mind that working with shadow aspects is not always easy but it is essential to our personal growth and evolution on a Soul level.

As best as you can, explore the shadow components of Cancer-Capricorn and utilize the Coaching Questions, as this will promote a more conscious approach to this polarity over the next two weeks…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-26 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. 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).

How the Moon’s Nodal shift into Pisces-Virgo impact our collective Soul’s Journey, not to mention Neptune’s, Saturn’s, and Jupiter’s involvement in that collective journey…

2nd New Moon in Capricorn — the article

by | Dec 22, 2024 | Astrology Articles, Saturn

On Dec. 30th at 5:27pm EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 9.5 degrees of Capricorn, launching a new Moon cycle.

There are two quick things I would like to mention before we get started:

1) On Jan. 11th at 12:30pm EST, we have our first Forecasting Forum of the year! Titled: “Looking Forward – Looking Back” — A recap of 2024 & an overview of 2025!

We will discuss what we can expect for 2025 in more detail and in relationship to all the zodiac signs.

So, join us for this powerful 90-minute webinar. Early Bird Special is only $32 until Jan. 9th!  ==> After that time, it will be $37.00

Everyone who is registered also gets access to the mp4 video recording of the live event. Star Members are automatically registered, and Universal Members get an additional 10% discount anytime!

2) If you want to stay on the pulse of all the planetary shifts for this coming year and see how understanding these energies can serve you personally, become a Star Member and join us every month.

Now, let’s talk about the final New Moon of 2024:

Not only is this the second New Moon within a calendar month, it is also this year’s 2nd New Moon in Capricorn; the first was on Jan. 11th.

New Moons are good times to reflect on our lives and set new intentions. This is an excellent time to go within and plant a seed for anything we would like to accomplish over the next 28 days and beyond.

Since this New Moon will take place only 30 hours before the New Year begins, this year’s New Year’s resolutions will be particularly powerful! As long as you don’t make them during the Moon void of course…

Stay tuned until the end of this article to get the best and most potent times for doing New Moon Intentions or New Year’s resolutions!

With the New Moon occurring in Capricorn, we are directed to investigate our relationship with authority, not just “authority” in the external sense, but also our “own authority”.

The next section of this forecast will dig into this in more detail — you may also want to watch my New Moon video.

The highest vibration of Capricorn is self-mastery: the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, setting realistic goals, and healthy boundaries. So, the next 28 days are perfect for working on these areas. Since Capricorn represents the quest for self-mastery…

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 7-12 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra? 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 the month’s Moon cycle — the perfect time is after the New Moon becomes exact (but not during a Moon void of course). You can also set your New Year’s resolutions at that time.

So this month, there are two best and most potent times to set intentions — the first would be any time between 5:27pm on Dec. 30th and 1:02am on Jan. 1st — and the second would be between 5:50am and 5:27pm on Jan. 1st (EST/New York time).

Full Moon in Gemini — the article

by | Dec 9, 2024 | Astrology Articles, Full Moon, Jupiter, Mercury Retrograde

On Dec. 15th, at 4:02am EST, the Full Moon becomes exact in almost 24 degrees of Gemini; the entrance of the Moon into Gemini on Friday afternoon (Dec. 13th) starts the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon. 

Before I get into that, I just wanted to share that unfortunately my last Soulivity Today Show with Brian needed to be postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. I will let you know if and when we reschedule this episode.

I was going to discussed the perfect gifts for each sign on the show. But I also wrote an article on that same subject that you can read here or via your Membership portal.

**The next show will be on Jan. 3rd at 8am EST** We will discuss what to expect in 2025, so mark your calendar!

Now, back to the Full Moon:

The Moon in chatty, versatile Gemini opposes the Sun in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius.

Let’s start by looking at the highlights of this Full Moon:

*Four planets in this Full Moon chart are exalted due to their Station phases — making these planets’ energies a vital part of this Full Moon chart — we also discussed this in my recent “Mercury, Mars, Saturn & Neptune  — All Exalted!” webinar.

  • Neptune (our primary connection to universal love and intuitive knowing) remains exalted until Dec. 18th.
  • Mars (our drive and self-assertion, physical energy, taking action, and going after what we desire) — exalted until Dec. 19th.
  • Mercury (our ability to communicate, think, and share) starts its Station phase on Dec. 11th and will remain exalted until Dec. 20th
  • Chiron (the wounded Healer) starts its Station phase several hours before the Full Moon becomes exact and will remain exalted until Jan. 10th, 2025 (we will talk about the exalted Chiron in Aries in more detail in our upcoming Forecasting Forum on Dec. 13th, and if you are reading this article after Dec. 13th, it will also be available on my webinar page).

*The Moon in Gemini not only opposes the Sun in Sagittarius but also aligns with Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) — which asks us to take a larger perspective when interacting with others and staying flexible and curious.

*The Full Moon squares an exalted Neptune in Pisces, which makes Neptune the Focus Point — asking us to calm our nervous system whenever possible by simply allowing ourselves to be still or quiet, even if it’s just for a moment.

*Saturn in Pisces also becomes the Focus Point of a T-Square, squaring Jupiter in Gemini and Mercury in Sagittarius — asking us to practice being present in the here and now and to be aware of the consequences when we are not prioritizing inner peace in our daily work and health routines.

*The Sun in Sagittarius quincunxes Uranus in Taurus — which invites us to make inner adjustments. Still, ultimately, it’s about honoring our differences and allowing ourselves to experience a shift internally so we can stay open and aligned with our unique, divine preferences.

*Mercury, the planet of communication, also known as the messenger (also the ruler of Gemini), not only trines an exalted Mars in Leo and the North Node in Aries, but it also squares Saturn, opposes Jupiter in Gemini (still in mutual reception with one another), and sextiles Venus in Aquarius.

Mercury’s not only involved in a multitude of aspects in this Full Moon chart but will also come to a halt only 12 hours after the Full Moon becomes exact at 6.5º of Sagittarius — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase that started on Nov. 25th at 22.5º of Sagittarius. As such, the planet of communication is highly exalted, and we are ready to move things forward.

*Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) not only opposes a highly exalted Mercury but also trines Venus in Aquarius — making Venus the Solution point for the Mercury-Jupiter opposition — asking us to connect with like-minded people that value our perspectives and opinions rather than trying to convince those who are not interested in being convinced.

I will go into all these aspects in more detail in a moment — but first:

Full Moons highlight each zodiac sign’s higher vibrations and denser shadow aspects. As our collective consciousness awakens, what has been hidden in the shadows moves into the light, allowing us to see it clearly and address it consciously.

This ultimately creates a more conscious society that can make more empowering choices for the future. However, it is essential to remember that…
