On Nov. 15th at 4:28pm EST, the Full Moon in 24 degrees of Taurus becomes exact. We start to feel this Lunation build from the moment the Moon enters Taurus on Wednesday night (Nov. 13th/14th).
If you are a Member of my online community, feel free to watch my video on the subject, here.
This is the fourth of four Super Full Moons in a row where the Moon is closer to the Earth, increasing its tidal and electromagnetic effects.
Before we start, just a gentle reminder that I have a Black Friday Pre-Sale coming up on Nov. 22nd, which will last until Nov. 28th (Thanksgiving Day) at 11:59pm EST.
Everyone can get a 44% discount for my Readings during that week, so definitely save those dates! And look out for the discount code! It will be available on my website on Nov. 22nd, and I will also send out reminder emails during that week 😉
All right, back to the Full Moon!
All Full Moons offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light — and they guide us away from polarization and division toward balance and integration.
Full Moons also illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices — and this particular Full Moon provides a double dose of that.
The Sun is in Scorpio and the Moon is in Taurus; not only that, but we are also dealing here with a Moon/Uranus alignment in Taurus — and with a highly exalted Saturn, who is coming to a halt on the day of the Full Moon to end its 4.5-month Retrograde phase. With Saturn’s direct turn, our responsibilities, what works and what doesn’t work for us, tend to magnify.
The Stationing Saturn is also the Focal Point a T-Square that involves Mercury in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Gemini! More about that in a moment.
You may recall that I talked a little about the Station phases component in the last New Moon video, and we will also address the exalted Saturn component in our next Forecasting Forum on Nov. 15th at 1pm EST/6pm GMT.
Feel free to join us, if you would like to know how Saturn’s Station direct phase will impact what comes next for you.
If you read this on or after Nov. 15th, you can also get the webinar: ”Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune — All Exalted! How can we handle this many exalted energies?” here.
That’s it for announcements and logistics; back to the Full Moon.
Let’s take a look at the Scorpio-Taurus polarity:
This Full Moon has a Taurus and a Scorpio component — Taurus spotlights our relationship to our physical body, what we value on the physical plane, and the planet we live on.
Scorpio highlights our relationship to emotional authenticity, intimacy/sexuality, empowerment/disempowerment, death/rebirth, endings/beginnings — Scorpio is asking us to recognize our deepest desires and truest motivations.
You can ask yourself with this Full Moon: What do I truly value? What deserves my attention, appreciation, and care?
Which of my values stem from social conditioning? What needs to change or be revised?
At its best, Scorpio is associated with transformation, and our capacity to shed what may have served us in the past but now hinders our growth.
We are indeed being asked to shed something in our life — a false belief, perhaps, or a “fake” identity or “way of being” — but it could also be a…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-26 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius? If so, you will be 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).

On Oct. 17th, at 7:26am EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 24.5 degrees of Aries — the Moon’s entry into Aries on Oct. 15th starts the build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
Generally, Full Moons bring our attention to our “emotional body”, increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored.
This is especially true for this particular Full Moon — since it is the third of four Super Full Moons in a row where the Moon is closer to the Earth, increasing its tidal and electromagnetic effects.
The Moon in pioneering, fast-paced Aries opposes the Sun in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra. If you are a site Member, you may also want to watch my video on the subject.
This is the first lunation in Aries — since the Moon Nodes transitioned into the Aries-Libra axis in 2023 — that is not an Eclipse. However, because this Full Moon comes after a Solar Eclipse, we are still in Eclipse Season. We will gain a better understanding of our relationships and partnerships after this Full Moon occurs.
The Moon in Aries aligns with Chiron, the Wounded Healer and makes an opportune aspect to an exalted Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter started its 4-months Retrograde phase on Oct. 9th and will be exalted until Oct. 23rd.
Pluto in Capricorn is exalted as well due to its Station phase at the time of the Full Moon (until Oct. 27th). It ended its 5-month Retrograde phase on October 11th (6 days before the Full Moon becomes exact).
Therefore, Pluto’s Station is intensified between Oct. 5th – 17th, and it will play a significant role in this Full Moon chart, as it is part of a Kite configuration and part of a Grand Cross!
The Kite configuration consists of a Grand Water Trine involving Mars in Cancer, Venus in Scorpio, and Neptune in Pisces, as well as two Sextiles, making Pluto the apex point of the Kite.
The Grand Cross will be in the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) involving the Moon, Chiron, Mars, the Sun & Pluto. This will create some stress all around.
More about all of this in a moment, but first, let’s talk about the Full Moon polarity — in this case, the Aries/Libra polarity. This polarity directs our awareness to…

All of this is especially true for those of us with personal planets or points in 22-27 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn. Personal planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars; personal points are the Ascendent or MC (aka Career Point).

On Sept. 17th, at 10:34pm EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 25.5 degrees of Pisces.
All Full Moons are impressive sights, but this month’s will be especially noteworthy — it is a “Full Harvest SuperMoon“.
The entrance of the Moon into Pisces on Sept. 16th starts the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon — if you are a Member of my online community, you may also want to watch my video on the subject here.
This is the second of four Super Full Moons in a row where the Moon is closer to the Earth, increasing its tidal and electromagnetic effects.
SuperMoons are 15% brighter than an average Full Moon and 30% brighter than when the Moon is at its farthest distance from the Earth. For more on the astronomy of SuperMoons, click here
In addition to being a slightly larger-than-average “SuperMoon,” this Full Moon will also be a partial Lunar Eclipse.
Eclipse Season started on Sept. 2nd (at the time of the last New Moon) and lasts until Oct. 24th (past the next Super Full Moon).
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?
During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow, stimulating our emotional body and increasing our awareness of unconscious patterns and thought forms.
This means we may feel more easily triggered as buried emotions and fears surface. Please be aware of projections and jumping to conclusions.
Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so keep in mind that Eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul’s path.
This partial Lunar Eclipse will be visible from most of North America, all of South America, Europe, all but the easternmost parts of Africa, western portions of Asia and Russia, and parts of Antarctica
It lasts approximately 1 hour, so we can expect to sense the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for the next four weeks.
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.
==>You can also join my next Forecasting Forum for more about the Eclipses. Live on Wednesday, Sept. 18th at 1pm EDT. The Early Bird Special ends on Sept. 16th at midnight EDT.
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.
On Sept. 17th, we can ask ourselves: How far have we come since the last Eclipse Season that began in March 2024? What can we see now that was not apparent then?
All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads, symbolized by the signs involved, in this case: The Moon is in creative, free-flowing, sensitive Pisces, while the Sun is in detail-oriented, practical, analytical Virgo.
Eclipses are usually powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (collectively and individually).
This Full Moon is the first Lunar Eclipse in the Pisces-Virgo polarity, and therefore provides a preview of what we can expect when the Moon Nodes start their journey through Pisces/Virgo — from Jan. 11th, 2025 until July 26th, 2026.
This constitutes a new collective Soul’s Journey, which emphasizes making more of an effort to trust our connection to the divine and our intuition, our ability to open our hearts and co-create with our higher Self.
This Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse also calls us to release or redefine our conditioned minds, 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 North Node Eclipse, we need 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 25 degrees of Pisces:
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-29 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).

On August 19th at 2:26pm EDT, the Full Moon becomes exact in 27 degrees of Aquarius. The Moon’s entry into Aquarius on Aug. 17th initiates the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.
This is the first out of four SuperMoons in a row where the Moon is closer to the Earth, increasing its tidal and electromagnetic effects.
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, Aug. 4th) to assess what has evolved since then

Before we start, let me share that I am thrilled to be part of a powerful 6-day Virtual Retreat called “AWAKEN: YOU. UNLEASHED.”, which takes place from August 19th – 24th. The best part is that it’s completely FREE to join.
This Masterclass series will feature 25 visionary speakers who will delve into profound themes such as Spirit, Self, and the Quantum Revolution, guiding us through personal and planetary awakening and healing ==> Once again, registration is totally FREE. Simply click here to join.
Here are the astrological highlights of this Full Moon chart:
- There are two T-squares in this Full Moon chart, and both rulers of the Full Moon (Uranus and Saturn) are involved!
- One of the T-squares involves the Full Moon polarity (Aquarius-Leo) with Uranus in Taurus as the Focal Point
- The other T-square involves Saturn in Pisces, Venus in Virgo, and the Jupiter-Mars alignment in Gemini as the Focal Point
- The Moon in Aquarius not only opposes the Sun in Leo but also a Retrograde Mercury
- The Moon also trines the Jupiter-Mars alignment in Gemini
- The Sun in Leo trines Chiron in Aries
- Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is exalted at the time of the Full Moon – as it prepares for its yearly Retrograde phase that begins on Sept. 1st
- An exalted Uranus in Taurus sextiles Neptune in Pisces and trines Pluto in Aquarius
But first, let’s talk about the Full Moon polarity: the Moon in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius opposes the Sun & Mercury in fun-loving, expressive Leo.
This opposition highlights 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 currently in retrograde motion, we may need to look back before we can move forward.
Mercury started its 3.5-week Retrograde on Aug. 5th (soon after the last New Moon in Leo). So rather than sharing something new, we may want to revisit what we created or discussed from July 17th to 21st, when Mercury moved through its pre-Shadow phase in Leo.
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
As always, with shadow aspects of ourselves, we need to beware of…

On July 21st, at 6:17am EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun at 29 degrees of Capricorn. An exalted degree! Not only is it in the last degree of the sign, it will also be the second of two Full Moons in this particular polarity! The first one was on June 21st at 1º of Capricorn-Cancer.
The entrance of the Moon into Capricorn on July 19th, starts the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.
==> If you are already a Member of my online community and would like to learn more, click here to watch my Full Moon video
==> 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 how well we are balancing the demands of our outer and inner lives.
Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart:
- The Moon in the last degree of Capricorn aligns with Pluto in an early degree of Aquarius
- The Moon sextiles Neptune in Pisces (exact), and so, of course, the Sun in Cancer, which is exactly opposite the Moon, makes a Trine to Neptune
- The Moon also trines Uranus in Taurus
- The Moon as well as Pluto trine Mars in a very early degree of Gemini
- Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, currently retrograde in Pisces, doesn’t make a lot of strong aspects in this Full Moon chart, but it is still within 10 degrees of Neptune and is starting from a Square with Jupiter in Gemini (which we will talk about in more detail in the next New Moon video)
- Some other aspects worth mentioning are: Mercury’s Square to Uranus (exact), and its Trine to an exalted Chiron in Aries
- Lastly, Venus in Leo sextiles Jupiter (almost exact) and trines the North Node in Aries
Again, this is the second of two Full Moons in Capricorn within 30 days.
This doesn’t happen too often; the last time we had two consecutive Full Moons in the same sign was in March/April 2019, in Libra-Aries — the last time it happened in the sign of Capricorn-Cancer was 19 years ago, in June/July 2005
Ask yourself: What was important in my life during the summer of 2005? Where am I ready for a major upgrade now?
Having two consecutive Moons in the same sign is particularly interesting because of the degree in which they become exact — it is usually an exalted degree.
With the current Full Moon becoming exact in 29 degrees of Capricorn, we are getting a chance to complete something, most likely something that started with the first Full Moon in 1º of Capricorn on June 21st.
This will most likely be connected to long-term goals, social status, or worldly achievements, but it might also be connected to our energetic understanding of life and our spiritual sovereignty — since Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is currently moving through Pisces.
This is an exalted degree because it is the last degree of the sign and, thus, the last chance for any transiting celestial body to express itself fully before changing signs.
With any Full Moon, we see things we have not been aware of before, and we get a chance to make changes if we don’t like what we see.
Ask yourself: What’s happened to me since June 21st regarding long-term goals? What needs another look? What needs to change? What is asking for completion?
Since we discussed the Capricorn-Cancer polarity at length in the first Capricorn Full Moon video, feel free to watch that or you can also read the Capricorn Full Moon article from June — but for this article let’s focus on the aspects connected to this month’s Full Moon chart, starting with the Moon:
The Moon in the last degree of Capricorn aligns with Pluto in a very early degree of Aquarius. This invites us to…

On June 21st, at 9:08pm EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun in 1 degree of Capricorn-Cancer. This is the first of two Full Moons in this particular polarity! The second one will be on July 21st at 29º of Capricorn.
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.

Back to the Full Moon…
Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart:
- The Sun in Cancer aligns with Venus & Mercury and quincunxes Pluto in Aquarius
- Mercury in Cancer squares the Moon Nodes in Aries-Libra and sextiles Mars in Taurus
- The Moon in Capricorn opposes all the planets currently residing in Cancer (Sun, Venus & Mercury)
- The Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Cancer both square an exalted Neptune in the last degree of Pisces
- Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn) in almost 19.5º Pisces starts its Station phase the day after the Full Moon becomes exact, in preparation to start its yearly Retrograde phase (which will last: June 29th until Nov. 15th) More details about Saturn in a moment…
Neptune in Pisces is exalted for several reasons:
1) it is in its own sign, 2) it is in a heightened degree (29º), the last degree of Pisces, and 3) it just started its Station phase on June 18th, preparing for its yearly Retrograde (just like Saturn). Something is “in our face” concerning the feminine energies (such as allowing, resting, sensing, intuiting, and feeling into the flow of things, etc.) — and all of this plays an essential role for the next two weeks, so tune in!
First, let’s look at the polarities of this Full Moon: The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn opposes the Sun, Venus & Mercury 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).
The Moon, in opposition to the Sun/Venus/Mercury alignment in Cancer, asks us to balance loving, caring connection, and sharing against our need to achieve our long-term goals.
As best as you can, steer by your own inner compass and bring your caring self to the world in a spirit of integrity and responsibility — and keep in mind that as we heal our past, we become a source of light and support for others.
Ask yourself: What would self-responsible self-care look like? How does my inner life inform my outer? What are my priorities? What am I ready to talk about or share from my past — in a vulnerable way? Can I honor my feelings and see them as valid?
Venus & Mercury, conjunct the Sun in Cancer, indicates that we need to answer some of life’s big questions: Am I partnering…

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

On May 23rd at 9:53am EDT, the Full Moon in almost 3 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. We start to feel the Full Moon build from the moment the Moon enters Sagittarius early that same morning.
For the next two weeks, we seek 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).

Before we dive in, I invite you to join me on Saturday, June 29th. I will be doing a One-day Yoga/Astrology Retreat with the lovely Sam Lodge in the country, near Robinson Township, outside of Pittsburgh. Whether you live in the area or would like to come visit, check out my Retreat page for more info!
I will just say this: This is an amazing opportunity to spend 7 hours exploring yourself (body, mind, spirit) and nature in the company of other like-minded souls. Your body, mind, and Soul will thank you for this whole-hearted experience.
I am currently offering Early Bird Pricing**, so sign up now before the price goes up! We can only accommodate 10 beautiful Souls, so I will notify everyone when we have reached capacity.
==> Sam and I will do an Instagram Live on May 25th, to answer questions and share about our One Day Retreat, feel free to join us here at 1pm EDT to get all the juicy information <==
**Members of my online community will still be able to get a 25% discount from June 16th to 28th. So, even if you miss the Early Bird Pricing, you can still get an amazing discount after that’s over, as long as we still have spots available. Again, this is only available to my active Members!
Here’s a quick overview of what I’ll discuss in this article:
- The Moon in Sagittarius sextiles Pluto in Aquarius, which means that the Sun in Gemini trines Pluto.
- Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, aligns with Venus in Taurus, both at 29º (an exalted degree)!
- Venus enters Gemini only 12 hours after the Full Moon becomes exact, and Jupiter will follow suit two days later (on May 25th)
- Jupiter & Venus sextile Neptune in Pisces (with Neptune at 29º!)
- Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is also in Taurus, making a wide Square to Pluto in Aquarius.
- Mars is currently in its domicile sign and will be sandwiched between the North Node & Chiron in Aries at the time of the Full Moon.
More about the specifics in a moment, but one thing to remember: Full Moons are always times of awareness and culmination. We see things we have not seen before and get to make changes if we don’t like what we see.
So think back to the New Moon phase that started on May 7th: 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’s beyond our 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 0-5 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).

On April 23rd, at 7:49pm EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun in 4 degrees of Scorpio. The entrance of the Moon into Scorpio earlier that same day begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
The Moon, in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus. This offers an opportunity for a deeper, more authentic connection with ourselves and others.
Eclipse Season ended on April 18th. We have now received our consciousness upgrades! Tune in for a moment: Do you feel any differently now than you did before March 15th?
Another thing to consider: on Oct. 28th, 2023, we had a Lunar Eclipse in 5 degrees of Taurus-Scorpio. Since this Full Moon is in a similar degree, check to see what has been coming up since then 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?
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.
If you’d like to learn more, and as a Member of my online community, click here to watch my Members Full Moon video.
There are several aspects worth mentioning in this Full Moon chart:
- Pluto (the ruler of Scorpio) is currently in Aquarius — and highly exalted — squares the Full Moon polarity in Scorpio–Taurus
- Mars (the co-ruler of Scorpio), currently in Pisces, aligns with Neptune and sextiles the Jupiter-Uranus alignment in Taurus
- Venus (the ruler of Taurus), currently in Aries, aligns with Chiron, and a highly exalted Mercury
- A highly exalted Mercury in Aries aligns with the North Node and comes to a halt less than two days after the Full Moon becomes exact (on April 25th) — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase.
- Last but not least, Saturn in Pisces semi-sextiles the Mercury-North Node alignment in Aries and semi-squares Pluto in Aquarius
We will cover all of that in a moment, but first…
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).
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 fears or disempowering behaviors.
So, here’s this Full Moon’s central question: As a society, are we living in alignment with our values, with what makes us happy and satisfied?
How about as individuals? Do we feel empowered and emotionally fulfilled? Are there any fears that serve as obstacles on the path to progress? Or perhaps some rigid thought processes?
Let’s take a closer look at the two signs involved in this Full Moon polarity…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius? 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).
Again, Jupiter and Uranus only meet every 14 years. Their cycles correspond with beliefs in the ability to make progress in a particular area of life — sometimes leading to social upheaval. We may also see upheaval in the natural world, for example with floods, severe storms, tornados, and earthquakes. It’s all about “shaking things up” in general.
We also discuss the Jupiter-Uranus alignment in greater detail in our Forecasting Forum on April 24th at 5pm EDT/2pm PDT. Join us live or register to receive the replay! ==> EARLY BRIRD SPECIAL available until Monday, April 22nd at midnight EDT!

On March 25th at 3am EDT/7am GMT, the Moon opposes the Sun in 5 degrees of Libra/Aries. The entrance of the Moon into Libra on March 24th begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
This powerful Full Moon is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (the most subtle kind of Lunar Eclipses). It can be viewed in parts of Antarctica, the western half of Africa, western Europe, the Atlantic Ocean, North and South America, the Pacific Ocean, Japan, and the eastern half of Australia.
It lasts for approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes, so we can expect to sense the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for four months and twenty days. Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so keep in mind that eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul’s path.
During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow, stimulating our emotional body and increasing our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears. This means we may feel more easily triggered as buried emotions, motivations, and fears surface. Beware of projections and jumping to conclusions.
This particular Lunar Eclipse is the first of two Eclipses within two weeks; it offers an opportunity for a more balanced connection to life and others.
If you are unsure whether you are projecting something on someone else, check for defensiveness, overreactivity, or difficulty being objective while exhibiting rigid behaviors.
==> If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse video here
==> 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).
The Lunar Eclipse video is also included when you get this powerful 95 minute webinar about Eclipse Season & Mercury Retrograde in Aries.
Eclipse Season started on March 15th and lasts until April 18th (that’s 10 days after the Solar Eclipse in Aries that follows this Lunar Eclipse).
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?
Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (collectively and individually).
This is the first South Node Lunar Eclipse in Libra since the Moon Nodes have shifted into the Aries-Libra polarity in July of last year — highlighting issues around relationship dynamics (“me” vs. “we”) and assertion vs. collaboration.
The Moon Nodes usually remain in any particular polarity for 18 months. They return to the same polarity every 18-19 years.
All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads symbolized by the signs involved.
The North Node in Aries emphasizes the necessity of a healthy connection with oneself — with our passions, personal goals, active pursuits, and our current independent path.
The South Node in Libra extends an invitation to create a more balanced connection between ourselves, others, and life — and to take a closer look at any dependency issues with others.
There was a Full Moon in 5º of Libra in March of 2005 when the Moon Nodes were in the Aries-Libra polarity as they are right now, however the Moon Nodes where too far away from the Full Moon polarity, for it to be an Eclipse. Therefore, the last time we had a South Node Lunar Eclipse in Libra was in April 1987.
Think back to that time — if you are old enough to remember: What needed to change about your relationship with yourself and with others?
There are several aspects worth mentioning in this Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse chart:
- The Moon in Libra not only opposes the Sun but also Chiron in Aries, and it trines Pluto in Aquarius
- Venus, the ruler of Libra, is currently in Pisces, closely aligned with Saturn and in a wide conjunction with Neptune in Pisces
- The Venus-Saturn alignment in Pisces sextiles the Jupiter-Uranus alignment in Taurus
- Venus also quincunxes the South Node in Libra
- Mars, the ruler of Aries, is currently in an early degree of Pisces and makes a semi-sextile to Pluto in Aquarius, as well as a wide conjunction to Saturn in Pisces
- Mercury entered its pre-Shadow phase @16º of Aries on March 18th and will begin to slow down (station) @26/27º of Aries on March 28th, starting its 3.5-week Retrograde phase on April 1st! (See Forecasting Forum March 22nd)
We will address all of these aspects in a moment — but first, let’s take a look at the Libra-Aries polarity:
The Libra-Aries polarity highlights…

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 5 degrees of Libra:
Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 0-10 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).

The next Full Moon will be “exact” on February 24th, at 7:30am EST in 5.5 degrees of Virgo — and by then, we are halfway through the Lunar cycle that started on Feb. 9th.
Look at the New Moon Intentions you set around Feb. 10th or 11th, and ask yourself: How far have I come with those Intentions? If I’m not where I’d like to be with my goals, what new course might bring them closer?
If you are already a Member of my online community, I invite you to watch my Full Moon video.
We start to feel the build-up towards this Full Moon when the Moon enters Virgo on Feb 23rd at 8:37pm EST.
This particular Full Moon has a planetary line-up in Aquarius (squaring Jupiter in Taurus) and a line-up in Pisces (sextiling Jupiter).
We will also examine some Moon aspects, including a Trine to Jupiter (the traditional ruler of Pisces) and the Opposition to Mercury & Saturn in Pisces. More about all of this in a moment…
We also have Chiron, the Wounded Healer, closely aligned with the North Node (our Soul’s current focus). We’ll look at this long-term aspect in more detail — in connection with our birth charts — in our upcoming Forecasting Forum on Friday, Feb. 23rd, at 5pm EST/2pm PST/10pm London time.
This alignment started to build in July of 2023 and will last until June 17th, 2024; it is at its most intense between January 24th and March 25th, 2024.
Chiron represents a bridge between the physical and the spiritual world. It invites us to focus on a more holistic approach towards our passions and our physical activities — in other words, a healing process of the masculine energies in our world.
We may feel more physically sensitive or humbled by our current human journey — and it is essential that we see ourselves and everyone else out there as “human”, acknowledging that the human experience is not easy, especially when we hold on to the idea of separation and duality.
So, if you want to know how Chiron’s alignment with the North Node in Aries impacts you personally, SIGN UP to join the webinar LIVE or register to receive an mp4 video presentation within 24 hours of the live event. The EARLY BIRD SPECIAL is still available until Feb. 21st at midnight EST! And all of my Universal Members now get a 10% discount for all my monthly Forecasting Forums!
Star Members: You are still automatically registered at no extra cost and will receive an email with a link to join live on Feb. 23rd — and you will also automatically receive a video recording within 24 hours of the live event.
If you are reading this after Feb. 23rd, it’s too late to join live, but you can still get the mp4-video recording of “Healing on a Personal & Collective level — Chiron and the North Node in Aries” here.
Now, a Full Moon is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun; in this case, the Moon also opposes Mercury and Saturn in Pisces. During any opposition, we seek balance, alignment, and integration around two “opposing” perspectives.
We often experience this through our interactions with others, and since these interactions are also the pathway to resolution, relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons.
The balance we seek between Virgo and Pisces seems to be…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 3-8 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, this month’s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

On January 25th at 12:54pm EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in 5 degrees of Leo — and this is when this month’s Full Moon becomes exact. We started to feel this Full Moon build from the moment the Moon entered Leo on Wednesday night, Jan. 24th. Relationships of all kinds are highlighted.
I have a very important announcement for my current Members:
Since I started my Membership site six years ago, expenses for my Membership site have gone up quite a bit, but I have kept Membership fees at their original rates. Unfortunately, with the latest round of cost increases, I had to make the tough decision to make some changes.
Many of you have also told me that they would do more Readings with me if my prices were a little lower.
The solution that I came up with, is to raise site membership fees by a modest amount, and at the same time offer much deeper Member discounts on Readings, Coaching Packages, and Astrology Courses.
Universal Members will get up to 15% discounts on Services, and Star Members will get up to 25% discounts!
This will help me keep the membership system going and allow all of you to take advantage of my services more often.
The fees will go to $7/month for my Universal Members and to $29/month for my Star Members.
The yearly fee will go to $63 for Universal (that’s 3 FREE Months) and $289 for Star Members.
This will go into effect on Jan. 24th! Please email me at info@astrologercoach.com if you have any questions!
Back to the Full Moon:
All Full Moons offer opportunities to see things in a new light and guide us away from polarization and division toward balance and integration. Ask yourself: How far have I come since setting Intentions back on Jan. 11th or 12th, after the New Moon became exact? What am I aware of at this time?
The balance and integration we seek with this month’s Full Moon are connected to the Aquarius-Leo polarity. As a Member of my online community, if you’d like to learn more about this month’s Full Moon, click here to watch my video.
This Full Moon chart has a big focus on the outer and social planets:
- The Sun aligns with Pluto in Aquarius
- The Moon in Leo opposes not only the Sun but also Pluto in Aquarius, and it also trines Chiron in Aries
- Jupiter in Taurus is the focus point of a T-square to the Full Moon polarity (as well as Pluto)
- Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently exalted in Taurus, as it is preparing to end its 5-month Retrograde phase on Jan. 27th; and it trines a Mercury-Mars alignment in Capricorn
- The Mercury-Mars alignment also squares Chiron, the Wounded Healer
- Saturn (the traditional ruler of Aquarius) currently in Pisces quincunxes the Moon in Leo, and sextiles Jupiter in Taurus and Venus in Capricorn
I will go into all of this in more detail in a moment, but first, let’s talk about the Aquarius-Leo polarity:
Aquarius represents a unique vision and approach to life. The classic Aquarian vision is one of interconnected equality and belonging — paradoxically, we are reminded at the same time that the power of unity lies in diversity. It is a concentrative sign.
On the other hand, Leo is all about our self-expression, creativity, and ability to connect to a courageous, innocent heart and inner joy. Leo, at its best, signifies the quest to live from our center, our authentic core, our truth — with joy in our hearts.
As with all Full Moons, we are also invited to…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 3-7 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, 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 (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

On December 26th at 7:33pm EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in almost 5 degrees of Cancer. The entrance of the Moon into Cancer earlier that same day begins the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.
This is the second Full Moon in 2023 in the Cancer-Capricorn polarity. The first one was on Jan. 6th, 2023, at the beginning of the year. You could say that started the year in the same way we are invited to end it….
Relationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this Full Moon, there is a particularly strong emphasis on family- and business relationships.
Before we dive in, I just want to share: it’s not too late to watch my Soulivity Today Morning Show: “Hot Astrology Topics” A Preview of 2024! ==> If you weren’t able to join us live on Dec. 15th, not to worry, here is the replay!
Back to the Full Moon…
Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart:
- Moon in Cancer: sextiles an exalted Jupiter in Taurus and trines Saturn in Pisces
- Sun in Capricorn: trines an exalted Jupiter and sextiles Saturn
- Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) in Pisces sextiles an exalted Jupiter in Taurus
- Mercury and Mars are closely aligned in Sagittarius, both in a Square to Neptune in Pisces
- Neptune trines Venus in Scorpio, and they both sextile Pluto in Capricorn
- A highly exalted Chiron in Aries is in a wide Square to the Full Moon polarity and closes in on the North Node in Aries
Jupiter is exalted until Jan. 6th (stationing) as it prepares to end its 4-month Retrograde phase at 5.5 degrees of Taurus on Dec. 30th. However, at the time of the Full Moon, Jupiter will support the integration of the Full Moon polarity because it is sextiling the Moon in Cancer and trining the Sun in Capricorn.
The same is true for Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn. Saturn in Pisces will also support the integration of the Full Moon polarity, as it is trining the Moon and sextiling the Sun.
Chiron is extremely exalted and will halt at 15.5 degrees of Aries only 2.5 hours after the Full Moon becomes exact.
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 this month’s Full Moon:
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 be of benefit to me? How might it shift my priorities?
Let’s take a 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…

On November 27th, at 4:16am EST, the Full Moon becomes exact in almost 5 degrees of Gemini; the entrance of the Moon into Gemini on Sunday evening (Nov. 26th) starts the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.
Before we get started, I just wanted to share that if you weren’t able to join me live for my first guest appearance on the Soulivity Today Morning Show: “Hot Topics Friday” ==> feel free to watch the replay here
**The next show will be on Dec. 15th at 8am EST** Mark your calendar!
Now, back to the Full Moon:
The Moon in chatty, versatile Gemini, opposes the Sun in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius. If you are already a Member of my online community, you may also want to watch my Full Moon video for more details.
Let’s start by looking at the highlights of this Full Moon:
- The Moon makes an opposition to the Sun & Mars alignment in Sagittarius, which asks us to take action on something that we have been meaning to take care of since the New Moon in Gemini, around June 18th, 2023.
- Saturn in Pisces becomes the Focus Point of a T-Square, squaring the Moon in Gemini and the Sun-Mars alignment in Sagittarius, asking us to be present in the here and now and bring this practice to our daily routines.
- The Sun in Sagittarius quincunxes Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) on Nov. 29th, and Mars will follow suit on Dec. 3rd, which invites us to make some inner adjustments. Still, ultimately, it’s about seeing the bigger picture and being adaptable.
- Neptune in Pisces (our primary connection to universal love and our intuitive knowing) is still exalted until Dec. 25th, making this planet’s energy a vital part of this Full Moon chart; it also squares Mercury in Sagittarius.
- Mercury, the planet of communication, also known as the messenger (also the ruler of Gemini), not only squares Neptune but also trines the North Node in Aries & sextiles the South Node-Venus alignment in Libra. Mercury’s aspects to the Moon Nodes & Venus ask us to widen our horizons and take an optimistic approach when interacting with others and going after our goals & passions.
I will go into all these aspects in more detail in a moment — but first…
Full Moons illuminate the higher/lighter vibration and the denser Shadow side of each sign. As our collective consciousness continues to awaken, what’s been in the shadows moves more to the forefront — where we can see it more clearly and deal with it on a conscious level.
This ultimately creates a more conscious society that can make more empowering choices for the future. However, it is essential to remember that this process takes time to create a visible collective shift.
Let’s take a look at the Gemini-Sagittarius polarity: Gemini asks us to…

by Sonja Francis | Oct 20, 2023 | Astrology Articles, Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse, Pluto, Venus
On October 28th at 4:24 pm EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun (in 5º of Taurus/Scorpio). The entrance of the Moon into Taurus on Oct. 28th at 7:44am EDT begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
This powerful Full Moon is also a Lunar Eclipse. Every six months, the Sun, Moon, & Earth align precisely enough for Solar and Lunar Eclipses to occur.
During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow, stimulating our emotional body and increasing our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears. If you’d like to learn more, and as a Member of my online community, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video.
This powerful Full Moon is a shallow Partial Lunar Eclipse viewable across Europe, Africa, most of Asia, and western Australia. The partial Eclipse lasts 78 minutes (=1hr 18min), so we will feel the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for approximately 39 days.
This Lunar Eclipse is the last of the Eclipses in the Taurus-Scorpio polarity — an Eclipse cycle that began in November 2021!
This allows us to complete an evolutionary process emphasizing creating a healthy sense of self-esteem and having a healthy relationship with the physical world — learning how to value ourselves, each other, and the Earth.
So, the question is: How well have you been doing with this exploration for yourself since November of 2021? What more is there to be learned? What processes are asking to be completed?
What fears are still asking to be faced? What old traumas still need to be healed? What’s the best way to own your power? What is still holding you back?
As you might know from my last Solar Eclipse video, Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (collectively and individually).
With this particular Eclipse, the Moon Nodes are no longer in the same signs as the Full Moon polarity. That said, they are within 12 degrees of the Full Moon — close enough for this to still be a Lunar Eclipse — partial perhaps, but still powerful.
The Lunar Eclipse highlights relationships of all kinds — but with this particular Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, there is a heightened emphasis on self-value and intimate relationships. Full Moons also illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices.
We become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored — or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what we need to explore, embrace, and integrate about the Taurus energy.
It’s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree of Taurus. Think back to Oct. 27th, 2004: What did I need to integrate back then?
What became clearer at that time around exploring my talents? What about my self-worth — was I able to see my value? What about my relationship with money? To my physical reality? My Body? My ability to receive pleasure? To experience inner peace? Where do I need to take this to the next level?
We will also address this upcoming Lunar Eclipse in our next Forecasting Forum on Oct. 27th at 5pm EDT/2pm PT! Please join us if you want to know how this powerful Lunation will impact you personally. We will also address Saturn’s Station Direct phase in Pisces.
There is currently an Early Bird Special that is available until October 25th! So I invite you to take advantage of that — unless you are already a Star Member — you are automatically registered and will receive an invite email to join us live (it goes out the day before the live event). I release the mp4 video recording within 24 hours of the live event.
Many planets are involved in this powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse chart:
- The Moon in Taurus closely conjuncts Jupiter
- The Moon not only opposes the Sun but also Mercury & Mars in Scorpio
- The Moon sextiles an exalted Saturn in Pisces
- Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is currently in Virgo and trines Uranus & Jupiter in Taurus
- Venus in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces
- The modern ruler of Scorpio (Pluto) is still in Capricorn and exalted, sextiling Neptune
- Pluto also still squares the Moon Nodes in Aries-Libra
- Pluto also trines Uranus in Taurus
- Mars (the traditional ruler of Scorpio) closely aligns with Mercury in Scorpio
- Mars & Mercury in Scorpio almost exactly oppose Jupiter in Taurus
I’ll give you more details in a moment. For the next 39 days, we seek…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-10 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse.

by Sonja Francis | Sep 23, 2023 | Astrological Forecasts, Full Moon, Pluto
On Sept. 29th, at 5:58am EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 6 degrees of Aries — the Moon’s entry into Aries on Thursday evening (Sept. 28th) starts the build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
The Moon in pioneering, fast-paced Aries makes an opposition to the Sun in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra. If you are a site Member, you may also want to watch my video on the subject.
Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our “emotional body”, increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. This is especially true for this particular Full Moon — since it is the last of four Super Full Moons in a row where the Moon is closer to the Earth, increasing its tidal and electromagnetic effects.
This is also the first lunation since the Moon Nodes have moved into the Aries-Libra polarity, so it’s a good preview for this Eclipse Season.

Pluto is exalted due to its Station phase at the time of the Full Moon. It is preparing to halt and end its 5-month Retrograde phase on October 10th (4 days before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact).
Pluto in Capricorn will become more and more exalted the closer we get to Oct. 10th. More about this in a moment… but first, let’s talk about the Full Moon polarity, in this case, the Aries/Libra polarity.
This polarity directs our awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships — and this Super Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles.
In particular, it brings our focus to “independence”, so ask yourself: Where do I need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Less? Where have I been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited? Or perhaps simply accepted for what they are?
This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Ask: Where have these energies gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?
Aries symbolizes our requirement to be free to explore and express ourselves; Libra, on the other hand, represents our desire to feel connected and see both sides of the coin by looking at contrast and comparison.
