New Moon in Pisces - March 6, 2019

On Wednesday, March 6th(8:04 am PST and 11:04 am EST) the moon begins a new cycle in the watery and fluid sign of Pisces. The sign that prefers to speak in metaphors, connects with images, and calls the land of the imagination home. Pisces knows how to blend, she knows how to flow, and she can merge into anyone or any THING. For a Pisces, it’s less about sight and more about sensing. Here’s the thing: not only does she sense your feelings; she feels them as if they were her own. You’ll likely recognize her for her compassion and her gentle and loving spirit that flows from the inside out. It’s true that some might call her a mystic, others a poet, and still others may see her as a dreamer. Her deepest treasure is her inner world, and oh, does it seethe with life. Since Pisces is often without edges, it’s easy for her to drift… And drift… And drift. Warning: Her shadow might appear when the world out there becomes too much to feel, so she’ll do what she does best – she’ll escape and find a way to numb herself or at the very least she’ll find a way to disconnect.

So what does this mean for this New Moon? 

A New Moon is a time to create, a time to breathe new life, and a time to birth something from the unknown into visibility. Pisces energy will aid in the process of reflectionespecially since it’s cozied up next to Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. I should mention that while Neptune might invite us to dive deep into our inner world, we must also keep in mind that confusion might creep in as lines and boundaries become blurred.It’s also not uncommon for illusions, deceptions, and delusions to show up and blind us from what’s real. 

What’s also interesting is that this New Moon occurs directly on the heels of Mercury turning retrograde in Pisces. Mercury is associated with our perceptions and thoughts and it rules communication, technology, travel, contracts, and information. So when Mercury turns retrograde these areas might not run as smoothly as one would like. Think: long travel delays, computer glitches, and miscommunication on overdrive. The purpose isn’t to frustrate you, but rather to help you reflect, deepen, and revise your perceptions as well as to help you fine-tune the words you use. It could also be a time when old lovers or friends show up and perhaps this offers you the opportunity to resolve something that needed resolution. Note: This would be a great time to back up your computer or copy that external hard drive. It would also be a great time to return to old projects, ideas, or connections. 

Let’s take a moment and address that Jupiter is making an impact on this New Moon. Jupiter, the planet that likes to expand everything it touches and carries an abundance of Faith and optimism inside it. Since expansion is involved, we must also consider how Jupiter might expand upon the fantasies and illusions of Neptune. Think: only seeing what you want to see and missing what’s actually present right in front of your own eyes.A simple test is to ask yourself: can I lean into [it] without any hesitation? If you can’t, there’s a good chance it’s not as real as you would like it to be.

With Pisces energy showing up so strongly be careful of your desire to disengage or to entertain distractions more frequently. Maybe you feel a little lost and confused right now or maybe you feel inspired to create and express what you feel within or maybe your imaginal world feels more alive than ever, or maybe your intuition feels especially strong at this time. Or maybe you find yourself feeling too much. The bottom line is that Pisces asks us to use a different type of seeing. She nudges us to place our trust in the unknown and to embrace the mysteries that we can’t quite see or understand. This could feel overwhelming, but I’ll also add that having control over every little detail is also an illusion in and of itself. More often than not the best thing we can do is to surrender to the unknown and to learn to see the beauty that exists when we learn to let go of how we think things “should be.” 

If you find yourself in a maze of confusion during this lunation or if you find that obstacles and glitches keep appearing along your path try to embrace them with an open heart. Instead of resisting and demanding that it must be done “this way” take some time to reflect and move into a posture of “being” instead of “doing.”If you feel stuck, ask yourself: What would it look like in this moment if I allowed myself to “go with the flow?” or even “What might this obstacle reveal about my current world?

Lastly, this is an excellent time to sense into your dreams, to fall deeper into your imagination, and to get lost inside creativity. If you find yourself moving towards (insert your method of escape) do your best to ground yourself and practice being present to what the moment wants and needs from you. 

While we all might feel pulled during this New Moon to go within and create something new, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Pisces is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

Full Moon in Virgo - February 19, 2019

On Tuesday, February 19th 2019 (7:54 AM PST and 10:54 AM EST), the moon glows in the earthy and practical sign of Virgo. The sign that is finely attuned to details, has a preference for order, and is all about precision. At her core she is wired for service and will be the first to say, “How can I help?” What she does is really who she is and you’re likely to recognize her for it, too. What matters most to her is that the work she does carries meaning. When she’s functioning at her best, she’s clear about who she is, what she does, where she’s going, and knows with unwavering clarity where her place is in the world. Her shadow creeps in through worrying, nitpicking, and scrutinizing over every little thing and every little detail. 

Before we dive deeper into the polarizing Virgo and Pisces energy, I would like to briefly mention that we have the Full Moon occurring at 0 degrees Virgo. 0 degrees suggests a beginning and yet Full Moon’s are about conclusions or bringing something to a close. So maybe just maybe there’s a crisis, event, or decision that is asking for a new beginning. Pay attention to what they might be.

Okay so now we know that, what does all this mean for this Full Moon? 

As you know when Full Moon’s occur we have to embrace the energy from both the Sun and the Moon. So here we have the tension between Virgo precision, practical action, and meaningful work mixing with Pisces energy that asks us to extend compassion, tend to our imagination, and remove the boundaries that exist between us. When polarization is present integration is the key. Maybe compassion is found through offering your services to another. Or maybe you’ll feel more connected to those you chose to show up for at this time. Funny how that works.

With the emphasis on Virgo we must look to see our purpose and in all the ways we desire growth. You see, Virgo asks us to look for the “more” whether it be in our relationships, or jobs, or self, or in the ways we offer our gifts to the world. The trick is to make sure it doesn’t become about arriving at perfection otherwise disappointment will surely creep in. Instead we must see how we can become more of who we are and what we are here to do. In many ways it inspires us to move towards our “muchness” as the Mad Hatter would tell Alice. 

Here are a few questions that might help you sink into the feeling of this Full Moon. What would it look like if I embraced my muchness? What areas of my life would I like to see more growth? Where can I be of more service to others? How can I utilize my skills in more meaningful ways? How can I offer more compassion to my friends, my partner, my family, or even strangers I see? Are there any ways that I have felt disconnected lately? Is there anything in your life that needs to end so that something new can begin?

Here’s what I find interesting. The ruler of this Full Moon is Mercury and it just so happens to be conjunct Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, and would you believe that both of these planets currently land in the sign of Pisces. This simply means that creativity and your imagination could run on high during this time, but so could the desire to escape from feeling everything you’ve been thinking about recently. If we move towards the highest path this would be an excellent time for you to trust your instincts, create a new vision, see with new eyes, or maybe even open up to greater compassion for your self or another. 

I also want to mention that Venus is cozying up pretty close to Saturn right now so this could inspire deeper commitments, and a serious look into your relationships with those closest to you. This could also suggest there are some added challenges that might need to be addressed in your relationship before you are able to experience the resolution and begin something new. 

And lastly, with Uranus making a helpful aspect to this Full Moon you might find that outside of the box thinking appears to you now and this might be exactly what you need to experience freedom from where you have previously felt stuck.

So with this Full Moon give yourself permission to experience power in the details, let meaningful work inspire you, extend compassion where it’s needed, and seek for all the ways in which you would like to grow and of course don’t forget to expand into your “muchness.” 

While we all might feel pulled during this Full Moon to see the details and engage in more meaningful experiences, we will each experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Virgo is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you are interested in a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

New Moon in Aquarius - February 4, 2019

On February 4, 2019 (1:04 PM PST and 4:04 PM EST), the moon begins a new cycle in the rebellious and radical sign of Aquarius. The sign that moves to the beat of her own drum, thrives when she creates her own path, and is used to being called weird. She’s different, she’s quirky, and she’s all about the freedom she needs “to be her.” Oh, and I should mention that she carries the archetype of the genius, too. You might think she’s odd, but here’s the thing: she’s supposed to be. And while society or friends or family might try to cage her, if she chooses to conform to a predictable life that appeases what everyone else wants for her, there’s a good chance, she’ll lose her soul in the process. 

I’m sure you’ll remember this quote from Apple’s campaign of “think different” that says, “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently – they’re not fond of rules . . . You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Can you hear it? Every line here is overflowing with Aquarian energy and it is the perfect statement that reminds us how powerful it can be when people are willing to color outside the lines. Side Note: I’d also like to add that Steve Jobs had his Mercury in Aquarius. Think: communication and perception mingling with outside of the box thinking. 

So what does this Aquarian energy mean for this New Moon? 

First let’s address that Mercury is hanging out close by and reminding us to create room for that spark of genius to appear. Have you ever wondered where new ideas come from in the first place? Are they really just born out of thin air? And if so, how do we attune our mind to see and think and feel differently so that we don’t miss that air of genius? While I don’t have the answers to those questions, I’ll remind you that Aquarian thinking certainly isn’t about following the rules or expecting things to be done the way they have always been done. 

I’d also like to mention that Jupiter and Mars are making a helpful aspect for this New Moon and are adding some faith and optimism to the mix. Jupiter is the planet that is usually associated with expansion and abundance while Mars is associated with assertiveness, action, and passion. It’s the perfect recipe for assisting you in creating a new path forward. So surround your thoughts with a hopeful blanket of what “could be” and allow yourself the freedom to believe that you can make any wild idea a possibility. 

If you’d like a few promptings for this New Moon consider these questions: What is my pattern of thinking that keeps me moving in a loop? What would it look or feel like if I gave myself permission to think or do something differently? What does it mean for me to color outside the lines? What would it look like if I created my own rules for this particular situation? What would it take for me to believe in myself? How would my life look differently if I believed in my unique ideas? How have I been underestimating myself in my current situation? 

The theme for this New Moon is to think differently. So free your mind from those annoying critical tapes that keep your life stuck on a loop, or from those thoughts that seep in that tell you a version of “I can’t.” This is the time to open yourself up to “outside of the box” thinking and if you do, there’s a good chance that wild ideas might show up out of the blue. Let’s just say that this is an exciting new moon and it’s overflowing with potential and pure radicalness. I like the sound of that, don’t you? 

While we all might feel pulled to open our minds towards new thinking, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Aquarius is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

Supermoon/Wolf Moon/Blood Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Leo - January 20th/21st, 2019

On January 20, 2019 (9:16 PM PST) and on January 21st(12:16 AM EST) the Supermoon/Wolf Moon/Blood Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse Full Moon catches our attention in the fiery and expressive sign of Leo. A Supermoon is simply the phenomenon that occurs when the Moon appears bigger and brighter in the sky due to the Moon reaching the closet position to the Earth. A Wolf Moon simply applies to the first Full Moon in January. A Total Lunar Eclipse is when the moon passes entirely behind the Earth and into its shadow. When this happens, the Moon appears red, hence the name, Blood Moon. Phew. Now that we’ve got all of those descriptions out of the way, you might be wondering, what does all of this actually mean? 

First, I’d like to suggest that you go outside and experience this Total Lunar Eclipse for yourself. Sometimes the simple witnessing of “other worldly” events is enough to remind us about how big and magical this world is regardless of the situation you currently find yourself in. For those of you wondering about the personal significance of this Full Moon, there’s a good chance that it’s linked to an ending, a breakthrough, or some type of resolution regarding an issue that’s been lingering for quite some time. When the moon goes into the shadows, we might find that our hidden emotions and desires become more revealed. It’s almost as if the hidden is deeply desiring an opportunity to be seen. In other words it’s a time to make the unconscious conscious- to move the invisible into a visible presence. That feels powerful to me.

We’ll need to keep in mind that this Full Moon is receiving energy from the unpredictable planet, Uranus, and also from the Moon’s North Node in Cancer. Uranus tends to inspire, disrupt, or create change. Sometimes the unexpected moves us with excitement and other times it terrifies us with its unstable dance. Since it will be making a challenging aspect this energy might feel a little unnerving. How you choose to experience this radical influence will greatly depend on your response to the unknown. Do you welcome it? Or do you resist it? The North Node in Cancer reminds us to embrace our emotions and to release anything that we’ve been holding on to. The release helps us move forward on our evolutionary path. This might require some vulnerability. Just remember that this isn’t a time to cling to our familiar patterns no matter how comfortable they might feel. 

Of course, we can’t forget to address the fact that Leo is the energy behind this Full Moon. Leo, the sign that has a flare for the dramatic, thrives off of creativity, and needs to express everything without inhibition. This is the sign that wants to be seen, craves a witness, and loves an audience. Two words: Expression and Visibility. This is what makes Leo happy. Now with the Sun, the ruler of Leo, in Aquarius and shining the light on this Full Moon, there is an emphasis on your personal truth and all that makes you unique. Since Leo has a flare for the dramatic it might be helpful if you stay clear from anything that wants to pull you into the drama. 

The shadow for all of this would likely appear if the energy gets stuck in an extreme “me, me, me” attitude or what we might call an inflated ego. Remember the key for creative and playful expression is to be child-like not child-ish. 

Here are a few questions you might like to ponder: Who am I in my shadow? What has felt hidden within? What would it look like for me to move out from the shadows? What does it mean to be uniquely me? What would it take for me to shine? What is my invisible presence? How do I respond to change? What is the unexpected asking of me? What might I need to release? How can I reveal more of who I really am?

So with this intense Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo make sure you boldly express your truths, claim the parts of yourself that lurk in the shadows, allow the hidden to be revealed, do your best to welcome change. Allow yourself some room to create, to play, to dance, to feel, and to break yourself free from any previous constraints. Remember, you’re the one writing your story – so you might as well make it an interesting one. 

While we all might feel pulled during this Full Moon to express our hidden desires, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Leo is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse in Capricorn - January 5, 2019

On January 5, 2019 (5:26 PM PST and 8:26 PM EST) the moon begins a new cycle in the earthy and practical sign of Capricorn. This isn’t just a regular New Moon either – while it marks the first New Moon of the year, it also just so happens to be a partial Solar eclipseand the first eclipse since the Nodes of the moon have changed signs. In case you’re wondering, an eclipse means that the moon is positioned in such a way that it will be blocking part of the Sun. The key word is partial, so most of the sun will still be visible. Here’s the thing, eclipses are thought to be more powerfuland while New Moons usually start the beginning of a four week cycle, the energy that occurs during an eclipse tends to carry forward for about six months. This suggests that the seeds you plant now will be tied to the Capricorn lunar eclipse that happens later this year on July 16th.Psychologically speaking, this is a time for rapid changes to occur on both an internal and external level. All in all, I would say it’s not a bad start to the year for those of us trying to implement New Year’s resolutions. 

 Now, let’s talk about how we have three planets (Mercury, Saturn, Pluto) plus the Sun, Moon, and the Moon’s South Node (Past Karma) all in Capricorn, the sign that is wired for hard work, understands the need for discipline, and finds joy in productivity and accomplishment. That’s a lot of serious and practical energy. Not to mention, we have the eclipse sandwiched between Saturn and Pluto right at the midpoint that turns up the serious vibe another notch or two while also casting a bit of a dark feel to this New Moon. 

 The good news is that with Saturn’s influence at the time of this eclipse, you might feel more focused, determined, and ready to tackle new projects that are likely to require a lot from you. As in, it’s time to start that new business, clean out that storage room, write that dissertation, start your autobiography, or even build that new house. Whatever it is, it’s time for you to jump in and make it happen through your dedication and hard work. It’s also possible that you’ll be forced to face any limitations or obstacles that have been weighing you down or preventing you from this endeavor. This could feel overwhelming, but remember this potent Capricorn energy is offering you a chance to make the necessary changes that will benefit you for months to come.In other words, you are being asked to build something concrete that will stand the tests of time. I like the sound of that, don’t you? But before we build, we need to be clear about what stands before us. Some of you might feel unclear about what is “coming up next” but you’ll need to trust that the hard work you put into any new endeavor will likely provide you some solid ground to stand upon until you do know.

 If you’ve neglected to take responsibility in some areas of your life, now would be a great time for you to step up and be present to those needs. Maybe you’ve avoided these responsibilities due to fears, or circumstances, or beliefs, or laziness, or maybe it’s been due to a lack of knowing what to do or where to go from here. Regardless of your reasoning, I’m sure it doesn’t feel easy to let go of how things have always been. Just keep in mind that this eclipse is offering you a chance to really examine your ways and to be honest about where you have fallen short. If these changes aren’t made then there’s a good chance it will be difficult to move forward and this will only prevent you from maturing into who you really are and all you are capable of accomplishing in this world.

 Lastly, I’ll add that Neptune is forming a helpful aspect for this New Moon and reminding us to lean in to our intuition, to connect deeply to our dreams, and to allow compassion to fill our cups. 

 So with this New Moon partial solar eclipse, go for it. Take that initiative, be brutally honest with yourself, and take responsibility for what you’ve neglected in the past. Now is the time to make things happen, not with force, but with diligence and a trust in your own inner compass. 

While we all might feel pulled during this New Moon to take on new responsibilities and to start that new project, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Capricorn is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

Full Moon in Cancer - December 22, 2018

On December 22, 2018 (9:49AM PST and 12:49PM EST) the last Full Moon of the year glows in the nurturing and healing sign of cancer. The sign that feels everything and holds it all deep within. She’s fluent in the language of emotions, so she’ll most definitely know how to make you feel safe and protected. Just imagine a den, a womb, a cave, or even a bubble bath or maybe even imagine that you are cozied up under a pile of blankets. Can you feel it? It’s a place where you can let your guard down, completely sink into your skin, and be whatever or whoever you need to be. You can fall apart, fall asleep, or fall into the moment of your inner world. There is No judgment. No fear. Only acceptance of what is. This is Cancer. She is home. She is comfort. She is compassion, trust, and pure acceptance. Her shadow shows up if she clings too tightly to her role as nurturer and places a spotlight on everyone else’s needs, while forgetting to share or tend to her own. The trick she needs to learn is how to shed her shell and reveal her self – feelings and all. 

So what might this mean for this Full Moon? 

As this year comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to tuck inside and allow yourself a safe space to really tend to your feelings. Take a moment and reflect upon these questions: What emotions or situations have you carried with you this year? What are some of the emotions that have been pushed down in your psyche and are now ready for release? What has this year been for you? Is there anything you need to fully let go of so that you don’t carry it into the New Year? Who are the people in your life that you trust enough to let your guard down? If you were to feel completely safe with your feelings, what is it that your heart needs to share?

Keep in mind that a Full Moon is about integration. With the Sun in Capricorn we must picture: discipline, structure, and hard work casting a light onto this nurturing, healing, and sensitive Cancer Moon. In other words, when we deeply tend to our inner world we are ultimately growing our emotional maturity and this means we are creating something deep within ourselves that we can trust and lean into. 

So maybe this Full Moon will be an opportunity for you to let go of the past, or to let go of those heavy burdens that have weighed you down for far too long. Or maybe it’s an opportunity for you to be completely honest about the things you need in your life. Or maybe it’s time you drew that bubble bath, blocked off your calendar, fixed some soup, drank that hot chocolate, curled up inside your cozy blankets, and spilled your heart to that ever accepting friend. To put it bluntly, go find what makes you feel safe enough to let down your guard and then go and do that; because right now it’s the perfect time for you to release those feelings that have lived inside your heart this past year.

We must keep in mind that the out of sign squares made by Mars and Chiron to this Full Moon set up a T-Square pattern. This simply means that since our emotions might be flowing more freely that we also need to be aware that over reactions are more likely to occur during this time. Don’t be surprised if you feel temped to fall back into old family dynamics. Just remember if tensions do arise, do your best to extend compassion, kindness, and acceptance. After all, friction is really just another opportunity for healing to occur. 

The good news is that Uranus is making an out of sign sextile to this Full Moon. This suggests that it’s time to break free from the past. If you feel tempted to cling to any of your old ways, just remember that there is no going back to “the way things used to be” and even if everything looks the same, the truth is something within you is now different. Let your intuition be your guide and trust those inner nudges that remind you it’s time to create a new path. You’ve got this. 

While we all might feel pulled during this New Moon to share our deep- seated emotions, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Cancer is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

New Moon in Sagittarius - December 6th and 7th, 2018

On December 6, 2018 (11:20 PM PST) and December 7, 2018 (2:20AM EST), the Moon begins its new cycle in the fiery, resilient, and adventure seeking sign of Sagittarius. The sign that is here to expand beyond the familiar, is filled with a large dose of optimism, and is wired to seek for what exists behind and within every moment. She is the sign that thrives off of taking risks, believes anything is possible, relies on freedom, seeks for truth in everything, and when she is functioning at her best she is motivated to experience all that life has to offer. Her shadow appears when she focuses only on her “too muchness” and forgets that life can also be fragile. It could also appear when she gets wrapped up in claiming what she knows as the only way to live. 

So what does this mean for the last New Moon of the year? 

Well first I’d like to mention that this New Moon occurs on the same day that Mercury stations direct and Mars’ joins up with Neptune. I’m sure some of you might be letting out a sigh of relief knowing that Mercury is no longer retrograde. Just be sure to keep in mind that miscommunication, delays, and glitches with technology tend to increase right when Mercury stations direct. The good news is that by next week you’re likely to see those things that were held up during retrograde are ready to flow freely now.

The Sagittarian energy of this New Moon might pull you to take a risk at this time, or set out on a new adventure, or expand your knowledge in one way or another. Boldness and passion are certainly present, but with Mars cozied up close to Neptune and making a challenging aspect to this New Moon, don’t be surprised if some of this wild energy gets tempered with complications and set backs. You might even feel that in all your zeal for something new that you are now hit square in the face with the thought, “what if I just made a big irrevocable mistake?” It’s also possible to find yourself tricked or deceived by something or someone you were ready to put your trust in. Just remember if you can’t sink into it, then it’s likely just a mirage filled with empty promises. If discouragement surfaces, hopefully you will allow yourself some compassion, patience, and acceptance. Hint: It helps if you see these limitations as gifts that contain messages about what you need to move forward. 

Since Neptune is in the mix it’s an excellent time to look out for signs and omens or those synchronistic moments that remind you everything is connected to a purpose. So during this time expand your boundaries, trust your intuition, and surrender to the unknown. After all, that’s the place where the magic lives. 

So embrace the expansive energy and test what is true. Allow your world to open to the miraculous and believe that there’s a reason for wanting to take that leap, that jump, or that next step into the unknown. Trust yourself even when it feels like you’ve lost your way. Remember: You have an inner compass that is aligned to something much greater than what you can see with your eyes. 

While we all might feel pulled during this New Moon to expand our horizons, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Sagittarius is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

Full Moon in Gemini - November 22/23, 2018

On November 22 (9:39PM PST) and November 23rd (12:39am EST), 2018 the Full Moon glows in the inquisitive and perceptive sign of Gemini. The sign that is full of energy and loves to see, learn, experience, and absorb everything that comes along her path. She’s quick in her thinking and is wired to move through topics a million miles an hour. Ideas? She has plenty. Curiosity? It drives her. Confusion? She lives it. Boredom? She despises it. Words romance her and if she feels like it she’ll use them to romance you, impress you, challenge you, spin you, entertain you, and inspire you. Her shadow creeps in when the chatter in her mind starts to consume her. If this happens then it’s not long before the tension spills over and Gemini finds herself depleted and needing to recover from extreme emotional exhaustion. 

So what does this mean for this Full Moon? Well first let me take a moment to mention that the Sun just moved into the expansive and adventurous sign of Sagittarius, Mars is now in the dreamy and transcendent sign of Pisces, Venus completed 40 days and nights in her retrograde cycle mostly in Scorpio, Mercury then said, “my turn” and entered retrograde for 21 days on November 16th in Sagittarius, and then back on November 8th Jupiter decided it was time to leave Scorpio and enter the sign of Sagittarius. Phew! Can we say changes?! So with this Full Moon in Gemini be ready for an increase in mental stimulation, new ideas forming, an abundance of possibilities arising, curiosity piqued, information overflowing, and there’s even a chance your perspective might change on a topic or two. 

The ruler of Gemini is Mercury and since it just turned retrograde it’s that time when detours, delays and hiccups occur a little more frequently. The point isn’t the mishaps, the frustration, or the confusion, but rather to get us to slow down to see what really needs our attention. It’s usually not the best time to sign a contract or finalize a deal. And if you do, let’s just say there’s a good chance that you might have to go back and revise things before it can be considered a “done deal.” The key for any transaction right now is to take your time and read every line, communicate every detail, ask questions, and be prepared to listen to all sides. Oh, and remember to take note of the things that are also left unsaid – this could possibly help prevent you from encountering some miscommunication. If you feel stuck, keep in mind that there’s usually another way. Stay present, remain open, and maybe you’ll hear or see something from a different perspective that ends up freeing you. 

Let’s address the fact that Mars is in the dreamy sign of Pisces and is making a challenging aspect to this Full Moon. Maybe we are being asked to claim what it means to be a spiritual warrior or maybe we need to expand our knowledge with a new and compassionate vision for our future. Or maybe you’ll feel compelled to take a risk in the face of fear, or maybe you’ll find yourself engaging in some reckless behavior. Maybe you’ll find yourself wrapped up in a conflict due to displaced anger or maybe you’ll feel the intuitive pull that tells you it’s time to move on. Maybe you’ll find yourself caught inside a heavy blanket of apathy or maybe you’ll feel inspired to follow the calling that your inner guides or soul have been nudging you to take. How you experience this energy largely depends on how you choose to engage with it. 

I’d also like to point out that Jupiter plays a key role in this Full Moon and so we can be sure that expansion, growth, and abundance are part of the equation. This combination of Gemini and Sagittarius can inspire some fun and wild energy that is fueled with curiosity and a desire to know more. While this might sound exciting, keep in mind that it’s important to pace yourself. When expansion is on the table it’s usually best to prepare yourself for a marathon and not just a sprint. 

While you might find yourself ready to take that big leap it will be important that you stay mindful of any loose ends that might pop up at this time. It would be wise to think before you speak because with the rapid flow of information from Gemini and the opposition to this Sagittarius Sun, we could also find that we become overly attached to our ideas and not leave much room for the voice of another. It’s the perfect recipe for words to fly out in haste creating a path of destruction along the way. So be mindful of your thoughts, speak with compassion, and take responsibility for the words you share. It will help if you remain flexible to the flow of events and keep that inquisitive mind of yours open, especially if you find yourself caught in the middle of any heated debates. 

While we all might feel pulled during this Full Moon to engage in some new ideas, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Gemini is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

New Moon in Scorpio - November 7, 2018

On Wednesday, November 7, 2018 (8:02 AM PST and 11:02 AM EST), the moon begins its new cycle in the watery and penetrating sign of Scorpio. The sign that lives in the depths, is here to make the unconscious conscious, and is fluent in the language of death and rebirth. She’s the sign that isn’t afraid to look you in the eye and when she does- she’ll penetrate you to the depths of your soul. Good luck at trying to hide anything from her. She has a knack for sensing and uncovering the hidden and isn’t afraid to call BS if she smells even a hint of a lie. She needs truth like we need air and not necessarily a meaning of life kind of truth, but rather a truth of a moment, a truth of who you are, and a truth about what remains when everything else falls away. She wants what is real and she isn’t afraid to go to the darker places to find it. Her shadow creeps in when she becomes lost in the self-discovery maze called the underworld or it might creep in if she chooses to avoid the element of self- discovery all together. Either way, moodiness and despair will become her companions. 

So how does this Scorpio energy impact this New Moon? Well first let’s address that Neptune and Pluto are making an appearance. Neptune is that mystical and whimsical planet that moves us into our imagination and allows us to dream. Of course when its shadow is triggered it can also lead us into illusions. Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio and the planet that is here to transform your life through the death and rebirth cycle. This planet can be quite intense. It can feel rather destructive if we aren’t willing to look in the mirror and see what or who is looking back at us. The good news is that for this New Moon these planets are making a helpful appearance and they are here to remind us that it’s time for some deep soulful reflections. We are invited to sink into our own depths and to claim what is both real and true for who we are and who we are becoming. 

So with this New Moon ask yourself: Where have I been hiding? Where am I playing it safe? What is the truth behind what I feel, what I know, what I don’t know, what I want, what I need, and what I long for? What is my soul here for? What am I here for? What, if anything, is no longer serving me along my path? What do I want to create and cultivate in my life? What dreams do I need to plant that are congruent to my true path?

Just remember we are playing with some deep and intense emotions here. While what we may discover during this deep inner dive can inspire us to move closer to what we desire and need in our life, we can also be pulled too deeply into our struggle and find ourselves covered in moodiness. Of course the other option is avoidance all together and this will only leave us unsatisfied and trapped inside a vault of despair. A key for not getting lost is to hold onto your boundaries so that you don’t drift off into nothingness. In other words, find what tethers you to your world and become clear on where you end and another person or thing begins. To say it more simply: Be clear and mindful with your thoughts, your words, and your actions. If you know who you are it will be easier to hold onto you. 

So for this New Moon look deeply into your own reflection, plant your seeds deeply, envision the truth of who you are and what you want to create, surrender to the unknown, embrace the mystery that unfolds, and remain open to where the next step might lead you. 

While we all might feel pulled to reflect deeply on who we are and who we are becoming during this New Moon, we will each experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Scorpio is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

Full Moon in Taurus - October 24, 2018

On Wednesday, October 24, 2018 (9:45am PST and 12:45PM EST) the Full Moon glows in the aesthetically pleasing and peaceful sign of Taurus. The sign that delights in her senses and finds fulfillment in life’s simple pleasures. She knows the gift of a sunset and the beauty found in the stillness of a forest or even the pause between beats in a song. She feels the crashing wave pulse through her body, but doesn’t need a single word to describe it. She’ll make sure to appreciate the ambiance of a place just as much as the taste of her food. If you haven’t figured it out, she’s earthy, but this isn’t to say she doesn’t like her comforts found in the material world. In fact, they might even be what fill her with a lot of security. The only catch is her shadow might appear if she falls into the trap of needing these things to bring her joy. In other words, she’ll become trapped if what she once possessed not only possesses her, but also defines her.

So what does this mean for this Full Moon? As you know we are in the midst of Scorpio season (Think: intense, deep, mysterious, uncovering truth, and a time to penetrate the depths of all things) with the Sun entering these deep waters on October 23rdand joining Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter. So don’t be surprised if you feel the intensity of these planets leading you into the depths and pushing you to take an honest look at yourself. Venus is still retrograde and will soon conjunct the Sun on October 26thmarking the midpoint for this descent into the shadows. This inferior conjunction signals the culmination for all that has been illuminated from our relationships and the things we most value. Hopefully we have spent some time looking to see where our relationships, money, and the things we value have started to define us. 

As this Full Moon cozies up as close as possible to the planet Uranus and makes an opposition to both Venus and the Sun in Scorpio, we can be certain that there’s a bit of uncertainty in the air. Uranus is often associated with breakthroughs, change, and unpredictability and while all of these things can be refreshing, if we cling to the past or aren’t ready for movement, then we can find this planet to be rather unsettling. I would also like to add that this particular placement offers a chance for matters that have been stuck in liminal space to receive that much needed shake up to help you move something forward towards completion. 

With Venus as the ruler of this Full Moon and currently retrograde in Scorpio, it’s quite evident that this planet is a key player for this lunation. I’ll reiterate that this places a spotlight on your relationships, the things you value, and possibly your finances that are all tied to the past and are in need of resolution. I saw a meme the other day that says, “Let the rest of the year be the plot twist you’ve been waiting for.” Well, let’s just say there’s a good chance that this might just be true. Just when you thought your life was all set in one direction now is the time to be prepared for it to take a completely different turn. Maybe you’ll experience this through a sudden change of heart in your relationship(s), or find that someone you thought was out of your life has now appeared again. Or maybe you find that you’re able to let go of a relationship you’ve been holding on to for far too long. Or maybe it’s that your creative genius comes to life and leads you down a completely new path, or maybe you feel inspired in an area that you didn’t even know existed. Or maybe you finally get to experience that financial breakthrough that you’ve been waiting for.

I would like to add that Saturn is making a helpful aspect to this Full Moon and wants to add a layer of practicality and focus to these sudden breakthroughs or changes. This isn’t about limits so much as it is about all the hard work that you have already put in to that relationship, project, investment, thesis, job, or vision. Everything you’ve done has led you to where you are today and Saturn wants to honor this.

If you’re wondering what to do – I suggest that you try to surrender to the rhythms that surround you. Feel the freedom to take a risk. Allow yourself to move outside your normal playground and follow your heart’s desires. Just remember you need to listen deeply to how your heart wants to move. This isn’t about calculated or conditioned decisions, this is about that spark of genius that moves you in the same way that music can transport your soul with a single beat. So during this lunation open your heart to your own wildness that lives in the depths of your soul – that part of you that can howl with the moon and dance naked around the fire. Let her be free. Let her show you what she needs. 

In summation, this Full Moon offers us all a chance to feel released from the past and provides us with an opportunity to embrace a new direction for our lives. Uncertainty of where this path will lead is a given. Your job is to learn how to flow with the rhythm of these changes and feel the freedom that comes when you release your expectations and remain unattached to the outcome.

While we all might find ourselves caught in the unpredictability of change, we will each experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Taurus is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would be interested in a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

New Moon in Libra - October 8, 2018

On Monday, October 8, 2018 (8:47 PM PST and 11:47 PM EST) the Moon begins its new cycle in the airy and charming sign of Libra. The sign that loves relationship, appreciates beauty, craves harmony, is wired to see life from the others point of view, and isn't afraid of compromise. Of course we can’t forget her shadow and in the spirit of seeing every side as worthy, Libra refuses to take a stance. You see her aim is to please, because what makes her happy, is you happy. There’s just one problem, in her drive to please, she ends up having no idea about who or what she wants and so she becomes frozen by indecision.

So how does any of this relate to this New Moon? Well, it’s likely to emphasize our relationships, the things we value, and the things we desire most. But first we need to address Pluto making a challenging aspect to the Moon and then let’s add to the mix that Venus went retrograde in Scorpio on October 5th. In other words, this Libra Moon is carrying some intense Plutonian energy with it. Say what? Just imagine the dark depths of the unknown - That large abyss of what we can’t quite see, but we most certainly feel. You got it? Okay, now that you have a visual, I want you to picture yourself standing inside those depths with no flashlight, no match, and no spark. It’s just you and the unknown. Maybe this feels terrifying, or possibly a bit overwhelming, or even quite disorienting for you. If it does, here’s the thing: It’s supposed to. 

The Plutonian energy is asking us to dive deep into our unconscious – to see what we have buried and hidden within. If you need a clue: look to your projections. What do you want someone else to take responsibility for? Where are you casting blame? Or where do you desperately want to change someone? In other words, what is it that you don’t want to hold, to see, or to feel? Once you recognize what this is - Pluto is asking you to claim it. Claim your wound. Claim your fears. Claim your truth. And in doing so, you will also claim your power. This doesn’t require force, but it certainly requires you to look deeply into the mirror of your Self. Try to remember that owning what you see in your reflection – IS your power.

Be prepared: the shadow side of Libra might try to tempt you to stay in the place of indecision or to possibly find ways to cover up and package those messy depths with a pretty little bow. There’s nothing wrong with beauty, just make sure that this type of beauty runs more than surface deep. You also might need to be weary of others attempting to coerce or manipulate you with their glittering charm and pay particular attention if you notice any of these behaviors reflected in yourself. And if you do, ask: What is it that I am afraid to feel? What would it take for me to face it? How can I move towards acceptance instead of avoidance?

Here’s the thing: Venus is Libra’s ruler and since she’s retrograde in Scorpio for the next few weeks, I would suggest making sure you treat this planet as your psychopompus, your guide into the underworld. Maybe she wants to show you those places where you have hid behind relationships. Or maybe she wants to show you how you have valued a relationship over your Self. Maybe she wants to show you some of your destructive behaviors that keep you repeating the same patterns. Or maybe she wants to reveal to you those places you’ve started to doubt yourself. Maybe she wants to remind you of the people and things you most value. Maybe she wants you to see those parts of yourself you discarded long ago. Or maybe she wants you to literally return to a relationship to resolve the things that need some tying up. Or maybe she’s leading you into the depths to help you say goodbye. Whatever it might be: let her be your guide. While some strong emotions might appear, I assure you, her goal is to help you transform and to find the deeper truth of what you long for.

Don’t be surprised if the next few weeks feel like a never ending game of hide and seek. While you might begin to feel weary in your search, trust that this New Moon is asking you to step into the darkness and to move beyond what you think you know or don’t know. So follow Venus into the depths, let her show you a mirror of you, and while you’re there do your best to see your reflection “as is.” There might be some painful insights that you’ll need to move through and if you’re unsure on how to do this just start by putting one foot in front of the other. If necessary, find a therapist, or a healer, or an astrologer, or a deeply trusted friend to help you navigate these watery depths. It might feel uncomfortable at times, but we must remember that the only way out is through. Bottom line: Pluto is calling us to move through the depths so that we might be transformed. 

You’ve got this.

While we all might find ourselves in the depths of the underworld these next few weeks, we will each experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Libra is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would be interested in a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

Full Moon in Aries - September 24, 2018

On Monday, September 24, 2018 (7:52 PM PST and 10:52 PM EST) the Full Moon shines in the fiery and passionate sign of Aries. The sign that thirsts for life, is full of energy, and has the heart of the warrior. Her greatest strength is her determination. When she’s told “no,” she only hears “find another way.” Aries knows what it means to push through and she certainly knows how to keep moving. She is wired for battle and rightly so, because instinctually she knows, she’s either going to be the hunter or the prey. And so what she’s really here to develop is a large dose of courage. Now since she’s always armed for battle her shadow can creep in if her energy isn’t dispersed in a constructive and helpful way. You’ll immediately know because she’ll appear like a loose cannon. In other words, she’s always on the attack and anyone who comes along her path will need to feel ready to defend his or herself. Does that sound a bit intense? Well, newsflash: she is. 

So what does this mean? As you know, the Full Moon occurs when the Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun. Right now the Sun falls in Libra, the sign that wants peace and balance, and is wired for relationship while the Moon as we already discussed is set ablaze in the bold and daring sign of Aries. So on the one hand we can feel Libra calling for fairness and compromise while Aries is ready to claim what she wants for herself. Can you feel the tension? 

All of this Aries energy is going to be pushing you to move, to create something new, to take that leap of faith, to go for what you want, and to take that necessary action in your life. However, I need to mention that both the Sun and the Moon are making a harsh aspect to Saturn, the planet known for its limits, restrictions, and boundaries. So it might feel like someone has put a lid on all of this charged energy. In other words, this Full Moon offers us quite a serious and somber vibe. We must remember that serious isn’t bad. Sometimes it just requires more from us and so the key is to work hard inside the structures you find yourself in at this time. This might mean added responsibilities, some necessary limits or obstacles placed in your path, or even being told “no” when all you want to hear is “yes.” Just keep in mind that what appears to be a set back in the moment, might actually be something that helps strengthen who you are and what you really need in the long run. 

Here are a few questions you might like to reflect on: What blocks are surfacing at this time? What are these blocks/limits revealing about your life right now? What needs to change? What are some aspects or qualities about yourself that you feel need to be strengthened at this time? What is life asking of you right now? Where are you not listening? What’s another side to your story? 

Here’s the thing: Aries loves a challenge. And it’s likely that what you’re faced with right now might feel like an uphill battle, but the good news is that you have all the passion, drive, and fight inside you to get to the other side. Any resistance that you feel in the meantime is all part of it. While you might want to bulldoze through it maybe you could also stop and see what the resistance is all about. Maybe the “block” or the “obstacle” has something it would like to reveal to you. While you might be feeling that all you want to do is move ahead, the best thing you can actually do right now is to slow down and see what needs your attention. This is hard for Aries, but right now, I assure you, it’s necessary.

We also need to acknowledge Chiron’s placement as it joins the Moon and makes a square with Saturn. Chiron is associated with the archetype of the wounded healer. This suggests that we are likely to feel some wounds surface, but don't worry, they are present so that we might have the opportunity to heal them. We can either stay stuck in the suffering or do the hard work that requires us to take responsibility for our own pain even when we would prefer to throw it onto someone or something else. If you’re going to involve other people then it might be a good idea to ask for their perspective on what you’re struggling with at this time. Just make sure you are open to hearing the “other” side instead of only seeing life through your own eyes. Maybe connecting with others will help you feel less alone and isolated and maybe it will also help you see that there is more than one side to your story. But before you can see, you have to be willing to listen. 

While we all might feel the tension during this Full Moon between what we want and what we need another to help us see, we will each experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Aries is located in our chart or if we have a natal planet associated with it. If you would be interested in a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

New Moon in Virgo - September 9, 2018

On Sunday, September 9, 2018 (11:02am PST and 2:02 PM EST) the moon begins its new cycle in the earthy and practical sign of Virgo. The sign that is finely attuned to details, prefers order, and is all about precision. She is wired for service and what she does is also who she is and you’ll most likely recognize her for it, too. The key behind her work is that it must be meaningful to her. When she’s functioning at her best, she’s clear about who she is, what she does, where she’s going, and knows with unwavering clarity where her place is in the world. Her shadow creeps in through worrying, nitpicking, and scrutinizing over every little thing and every little detail. To put it simply, she’s been known at times to become a little obsessive. 

So what does this mean for this New Moon? Here’s a hint: A big emphasis over the next couple of weeks will be about finding some clarity. Here’s the interesting part, sometimes when we are in need of a vision things often feel even more unclear. If this is you, just relax, and know that what you’re looking for might not come from “out there” as much as from within. Virgo isn’t concerned with how things look, but rather how things work and the meaning behind them. So be sure you allow your self some time to be still and to find the meaning that lives underneath. If you don’t know where to start – begin with what appears to be out of focus. You don't need to change it just yet - just get clear on what appears blurry in your life. The good news is that Virgo has the potential to help us see who we really are and so there’s a good chance that our vision will naturally start to open. 

I should also mention that Mercury is in Virgo (Note: the ruler of Virgo is Mercury) and well truth be told when it’s in Virgo it has the ability to locate the flaws in well… everything. This doesn’t have to be a negative unless you let it. Of course there’s the potential to become overly critical and beat the self up with all the ways you might feel like you’re falling short. I’ll be blunt: don’t do that. The good news is that when it’s functioning at the highest it helps detangle or unlock anything that’s been holding you back. In other words, it offers you freedom in the purest sense. Oh, and Virgo likes to grow. So the best medicine for any unsettled idea, thought, or emotion is to find different ways to work on “bettering” yourself. This isn’t calling for your complete perfection, but rather a deep acceptance of who you are and what you’re here to do. It might even help you become more focused with what you want or need to accomplish.

Sitting in direct opposition to this New Moon, we find Neptune swimming in Pisces. This simply reminds us to not fall for any illusions. If you can’t step into it and feel it’s realness whatever it might be, then it’s really only a mirage. You can always test an illusion by trying to lean into it. Just remember an illusion can’t hold you. On the high end, Neptune might be there to help you connect more compassionately, and deeply to your imagination. This might awaken something that’s been waiting and wanting to come to life. Since Neptune can be rather slippery, we must remember that there’s a fine line between deception and inspiration. We must learn how to discern the difference. Virgo helps with this and reminds us to put things through the test so we might find out what or who will last. 

I’d like to add that this New Moon is making a helpful aspect to Jupiter in Scorpio and also to Pluto in Capricorn. Since Jupiter is about expansion, abundance, and faith, there’s a good chance that what you are or have been working on is ready to open up to its full potential. Pluto is associated with death and rebirth and a very close encounter with an “in your face” kind of truth. Since it’s a supportive aspect we can trust that whatever has been holding you back these last few months is now ready to become uncovered and transformed. And you might even find that secrets become known and it's quite possible that lies become revealed. Since we’re still talking about Pluto, we need to remember that it does require some deep, honest, and intense reflecting. In other words, it will be important that you claim your truth.

One last thing to keep in mind, Venus is moving into Scorpio and will stay here until January 2019. Let’s be honest Scorpio can be a little too intense for miss Venus and when she starts to retrograde expect a lot to become uncovered or unraveled in your relationships. 

So with this New Moon practice radical self-care, give yourself a break, and find ways to accept who you are, where you are, and where you are going. Don’t be afraid to dive in deep and make the necessary changes that push you further into your full potential. At the very least - be prepared to be the one who “sees” your beauty, flaws and all, and remember you are here to become not arrive. 

While we all might feel pulled during this New Moon to see the details and become more clear on what we are here to do, we will each experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Virgo is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you are interested in a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

Full Moon in Pisces - August 26, 2018

On Sunday, August 26th, 2018 (4:56am PST and 7:56am EST), the Full Moon glows in the fluid and watery sign of Pisces. The sign that prefers to speak in metaphors, connects with images, andcalls the land of the imagination home. Pisces knows how to blend, she knows how to flow, and she can merge into anyone or any THING. For a Pisces, it’s less about sight and more about sensing. And oh, let me tell you, not only does she sense your feelings, she feels them as if they were her own. You’ll recognize her for her compassion and her gentle spirit that knows no barriers because all of life flows together as one. Some might call her a mystic, others a poet, and still others may see her as a dreamer. Her deepest treasure is her inner world and oh does that world seethe with life. 

Of course there’s always a shadow and Since Pisces is often without edges, it’s easy for her to drift… And drift… And drift. Sometimes this means she’s simply going through the motions and if this continues for too long then it’s easy for her becomes trapped inside her story. If this happens it’s only a matter of time befor she’ll forget how to live or engage with her life out loud. The world out there becomes too much and so she does what she does best– she escapes and finds a way to numb herself or at the very least she’ll disconnect.

So what’s happening with this Full Moon? First let’s just acknowledge that we’ve made it through three eclipses in addition to Mars and Mercury being in retrograde. Phew! That’s a lot. It’s safe to say it’s been quite intense these past few months. It’s likely you experienced frustrations brewing from all the setbacks and challenges you encountered. Luckily this Full Moon in Pisces brings us all some much needed relief. You might even find that resolutions to these struggles have already started to appear. If this is the case, allow yourself to celebrate the shift and enjoy the moment for what it is. Since it’s Pisces energy make sure you turn deeply within to see what visions might want to present themselves to you. This can happen in your waking world or even through your dreams. The art is in learning how to pay attention to them so that these images can pass on their messages to us.

I’d also like to mention that this Full Moon is making a Grand Earth Trine with the Sun in Virgo, Saturn in Capricorn, and Uranus in Taurus. So while the Pisces energy may want to pull you deep into the land of your imagination, there’s also a strong current that is calling you to put your imagination into something practical. Allow yourself to fall deeply into the action of creating something new for your life that is fueled by your passion. Whether this is a project, a ritual, a new job, or even a new idea - the time is right for you to dive in wholeheartedly so that you might see it to completion. Luckily there’s more good news: On August 27thMars is finally stationing direct in Capricorn and this will give an added boost to your workflow and assist you with your drive to create something tangible, concrete, and real over the next couple of weeks. Here’s the catch though – since it’s Pisces energy we also must be mindful about using work as an escape.

Additionally, Venus is in Libra and it’s making a harsh aspect to Pluto in Capricorn. This has the potential to stir up some intense feelings inside your relationships. It would be wise at this time to remain as clear as possible in your connections to others and be weary of situations that might call on you to compromise your integrity. Hint: stay close to your truth even if it means you might lose something in the process. Your authenticity in these moments is truly the key to your freedom and healing. 

If you’d like some promptings for this Full Moon ask yourself: What is my inner world requiring me to see right now? What dreams and images are stirring within my soul? What would it look like to put these dreams into action? Is there anything in my life that needs some resolution? What would I like to create? What would I like to celebrate in my life? Are there any relationships where I am hiding my authentic self? 

So with this Full Moon step into your dreams, play in your imagination, and find ways to bring these dreams into a tangible expression. Give yourself wholeheartedly to a project that lives close to your heart and make sure you create some moments that honor and celebrate everything you’ve been through this year. 

While we all might feel pulled during this Full Moon to go within and create something new, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Pisces is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse in Leo - August 11, 2018

On Saturday August 11, 2018 (2:58 AM PST and 5:58 am EST) the New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse begins its new cycle in the colorful and expressive sign of Leo. The sign that is bold, thrives off of creativity, and needs to express everything without inhibition. She isn’t here to hide and she knows she has something to share with the world. She’s dramatic, she sees life as a stage and isn’t satisfied without an audience. She knows she’s here to be seen and so she makes sure she does everything with style. She performs not as an act to hide behind, but as a way to show and develop who she is. Some of us feel at home in Leo territory while others may want to run for cover. Leo’s shadow comes out when she becomes overly focused on herself and can only see a “me, me, me” take on life. If she’s consumed with herself then her child like energy turns into childish behavior and well, that’s not fun for anyone. One thing is for sure, with the New Moon in Leo, I’m certain you will feel the urge to: EXPRESS.

First I’d like to mention that this is the last of the Solar Eclipses in Leofor quite some time. The first of the Leo Eclipses occurred in February 2017 and the last will be a Lunar Eclipse this upcoming January, but after that it will move on to a new sign. Take a moment and reflect upon everything you’ve created over the last year and a half.I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw more of your gifts come to the forefront or maybe you became more aware of what in you needs an outlet for expression. 

This New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse occurs while Mercury and Mars are still retrograde along with four other planets and five if we include Chiron (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and the comet Chiron all retrograde right now). You can thank Mercury for any delays, detours, or setbacks you might have encountered.You can also thank her for any technical problems, miscommunication, or visits from your past. You can thank Mars for leaving the gas tank a little empty and possibly making it harder for you to accomplish the things you would like to see happen at this time. I promise these planets aren’t here to bully you. They are actually trying to help you get clear about where you are headed and what is needed from you.They are slowing things down quite a bit so that you can see the parts to your life that might have otherwise been overlooked. Sometimes taking a few steps back eventually helps you move forward. Yes, it’s that old clichéd line – but it’s true. Just to reiterate: Retrograde is really a time of reflection and making sure the things you need are in their right place. It’s almost like a test to see if what you’ve created will really hold over time. So if there are any loose ends you need to tie up –get to it.

So what is this New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse all about? In one word: Visibility. She’s urging us to step into the spotlight and embrace our creativity. What she wants you to receive is appreciation, attention, and love. The healthy kind will help you become more of who you are and others will recognize you for all the ways in which you shine while the destructive kind will pull you deep into your ego where all you can see is you you you. Now if I were you I would pay particular attention to the shadow aspects because this is a partial Solar Eclipse and so it pulls us into the dark for a moment. Since it’s in Leo (and it’s ruler is the sun) it might appear right now as an “I want I want I want” instead of “I create I create I create.” Here’s a hint – if you get stuck in the “I wants” then find a way to create something.

Since Mercury retrograde is cozied up to this New Moon it would be wise for us to take note of that critical voice that comes either from within or from a friend. Or maybe you need to fine-tune some agreements or a contract you are about to sign. Just remember the critic isn’t bad unless we let it be. It’s ultimately here to help us catch something that would otherwise go unnoticed. Sobe prepared to check things twiceor maybe even three or four times before you sign on the dotted line. Retrograde can also symbolize visits from our past or even possibly the clearing out of “things.”

Here are some promptings for this New Moon: What would it take for me to shine?Where would I like to express myself more? What areas of my life need more clarity? What does the path forward need from me?Is there something I need to pay more attention to or look over before proceeding forward? What/Where are the loose ends in my life?

So with this Eclipse remind yourself of all the things that make you come alivefor that is the key behind almost everything. Embrace joy, expand your faith, believe in yourself, dance in your creativity, play from your soul, and let yourself be drawn into the things that make you feel the rhythm of your own heartbeat. Who knows maybe something new might want to appear for you over the next few weeks, but first you have to give it some room to move. You don’t have to have it all figured out, but it might help if youfind ways to say YES. 

While we all might feel pulled during this New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse to express who we are, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Leo is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

FULL MOON/TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN AQUARIUS - JULY 27, 2018

On Friday, July 27, 2018 (1:20 pm PST and 4:20 PM EST) The Full Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse falls in the rebellious and revolutionary sign of Aquarius, the sign that moves to the beat of her own drum, carves out her own path, and isn’t afraid of being called weird. She’s different, quirky, and carries the archetype of the genius. She isn’t afraid to color outside the lines and feels even more at home when she does. You might think she’s a little odd at times and the truth is - she’s supposed to be. Her shadow is her stubbornness. She’s equipped to be unique, but if she begins to conform to a predictable life, you can be certain she’ll not only lose her freedom, but also her soul. 

So let’s talk about this Full Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse. First, unless you are in the Middle East, parts of Africa, Central Asia, and Antarctica, don’t expect to witness this magical event. However, whether we can see it or not, we will all have the opportunity to feel and experience the energy as it moves into Totality and then back out of it. 

How is this Eclipse energy different from a Full Moon? A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the earth is positioned exactly between the Moon and the Sun, and so for a time being (1 hour and 42 minutes in this case – the longest totality for the 21st century) the moon has no light reflecting on her and so she disappears as if she’s in a brilliant game of hide and seek. An Eclipse is all about a pathway, or a portal if you will, and the theme is always about change. 

In many ways it is the universe’s way of getting us to pay attention to areas in our life that are in some desperate need of renovation. It can show up in the form of creation or destruction depending on your situation. Just remember that endings are also usually accompanied with beginnings. Of course with Lunar Eclipses, the hidden things can shake us up, uproot us, catch us off guard, surprise us and thrill us to our bones. They can bring news of life’s big events, mark a turning point in our lives, and they are almost always emotional. After all, the dramatic tends to get our attention.

Now this Lunar Eclipse is greatly impacted by Mars, the planet associated with war, intensity, the warrior, and courage. It can also create destruction, passion, tension, and strife. I should also mention that Mars is retrograde and making a challenging aspect to Uranus. In other words, picture some intense, unexpected, explosive energy. Maybe even some resentment or frustration to bubble up, and certainly some unresolved conflicts reappearing or at least a conversation about them. Or maybe you are purging the past and clearing out old outdated ways of being, or maybe you need to cut chords with a person, or even things. Or maybe there could also be some confrontations that surface due to limits in your freedom or some loss of individuality. Be warned: pushing others or even yourself passed your boundaries might produce some unnecessary battle wounds. Practice stepping back from reactions and see if you can embrace any dramatic shift with some cool reason and logic. 

Since Mars is linked closely to the SN we can expect some of our old karmic patterns to reveal themselves in some dynamic and dramatic ways. If there’s something that’s been bottled up, there’s a good chance it comes to a head with this Eclipse. Maybe you’ve squashed your authentic self and have felt trapped inside what others expect you to be. Maybe it’s time for you to claim your authenticity and create your own heartbeat and rhythm to your life. Maybe something you've struggled with for months is ready to come to a close.

If you'd like some promptings: Ask yourself, where do I need to stand up for myself? Where do I need a breakthrough? Where have I been compromising myself? Are there any outdated patterns that I need to let go? If so, name them and then release them through a ritual. And if you need some courage, there’s a large dose of it readily available, all you have to do is claim it. 

A quick reminder: healthy boundaries can create greater freedom and clarity. Also remember that sometimes saying goodbye is in the highest good for all involved. The good news, Eclipses are also magical and for this one the path forward involves the North Node and the Sun in Leo. Cue authentic expression, boldness, and being seen. This isn’t just about you being unique and claiming your individuality though - it’s about you claiming your place in the world and allowing the inevitable changes to boldly move you into a higher vibration for your life. If we look at it that way - I'd say that sounds pretty cool. 

Lastly, I want to remind you that in whatever way this Eclipse chooses to visit you, it’s ultimately about breakthrough and change and it's offering you a beautiful opportunity to move out from the places you’ve felt stuck, trapped, and hindered for quite some time. In other words, let the changes - change you. 

While we all might feel pulled during this Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse to embrace some much needed change,we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Aquarius is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

New Moon in Cancer/Partial Solar Eclipse – July 12, 2018

On Thursday, July 12, 2018 (7:48 PM PST and 10:48 PM EST) the New Moon begins its cycle in the watery and healing sign of Cancer. The sign that is attuned to nurturing, senses everything deeply within, and sees the world colored with feelings. She’s fluent in emotions and intuitively knows how to make you feel safe and protected. Imagine a den, a womb, a cave, or even a bubble bath or maybe even imagine that you are cozied up under a pile of blankets. Can you feel it? It’s a place where you can sink into your skin and be whatever you need to be. You can fall apart, fall asleep, or fall into the moment of your inner world. You see it doesn’t matter what you say, what you do, or what you feel because everything you express is safe here. No judgment. No fear. Only acceptance of what is. I guarantee that She’ll see your vulnerability and she’ll protect it with her life. This is Cancer. She is home. She is comfort. She is compassion, trust, and pure acceptance.

If you’re wondering where her shadow might appear- it’s when she clings too tightly to her role as nurturer. You see in this role she’s placed a spotlight on everyone else’s needs. This leaves her feeling safe, but it also leaves her feeling unknown and trapped inside her world. There’s a good chance she could live her life without anyone ever knowing who she is or what she likes or doesn’t like. To you, she is her shell, but she knows she's so much more than that. Can you feel her loneliness? The trick for her is to learn how to shed this shell and reveal her self – feelings and all. 

Now this particular New Moon will be a partial solar eclipse and it also marks the beginning of the final eclipse season for 2018. And while this eclipse wouldn’t be anything flashy on it’s own, we only have to look across the way to find Pluto in almost exact opposition. Over these next two weeks be prepared for some wild and powerful feelings to emerge. We’ll most likely experience our vulnerabilities exposed, our emotions turned up on high, and possibly even a desire to run for cover. The catch. There’s no avoiding with Pluto. So if you can’t run from your feelings, the best thing to do is to express and feel them. Breathe, and try to trust that this is all part of your process. There’s a good chance that any emotions you've buried deep down have now reached a point where they must be revealed. Sometimes this comes with some deep-seated pain, but ultimately, if we face it, we’ll begin to feel more empowered and alive. 

The bad news: there might be a monster lurking under your bed. The good news: once you face it, it tends to lose its power and in time you might just find that this monster is no longer a monster at all. In the meantime this probably doesn’t sound like too much fun and you'd probably prefer to hit the fast forward button. Just keep in mind that Mars is in retrograde and while you might want things to move forward quickly, the energy doesn’t support this. Instead, you are best served if you use this time to reflect on your needs and pay close attention to how you choose to respond to any unpleasant situations. Here's some more good news. This New Moon forms a  Grand Water Trine with Sun/Moon in Cancer, Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter in Scorpio and this will help you to surrender to these intense emotions and to let go of whatever it is you need to let go. 

If you need some promptings, ask yourself: Is there something I've been afraid to face? What do I need to feel? What have I been afraid to feel? What do I need to express? Is there an area of my life that feels unresolved? What am I hiding from? How have I felt invisible in my world? What truths do I need to claim? What would it look like to stand my ground?

Here’s a secret: When Pluto is honored in your life you’ll start to feel more empowered. Pluto likes truth, especially the hard truths. So find your courage, feel what you need to feel, open your eyes wide and look the monster in the eyes. Allow anything unresolved in your heart to seep up to the surface. Find that safe place where you can feel what you need to feel, cry what you need to cry, and even yell what you need to yell. There's power in claiming the truth of what you feel. So step into it and don't be afraid to lean all the way in. 

While we all might feel pulled during this New Moon to feel some deep seated emotions, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Cancer is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

Full Moon in Capricorn - June 27th/28th

On June 27th/28th (9:53 PM PST and 12:53 AM EST), the full moon glows in the sturdy and earthy sign of Capricorn. The sign that is wired for hard work, understands the need for discipline, feels joy in productivity and is inspired by accomplishment. I’ll also add that she’s not easily distracted, craves solitude like no other, values integrity above all else and when she’s functioning at her highest- she carries the archetype of the wise elder. At her worst, she becomes rigid, demanding, and controlling. If she ever turns to approval from others, it’s likely that she’ll begin to lose clarity about herself and end up a prisoner to her success. If this happens then no matter what she does, nothing will ever quite seem like it’s enough.

For this Full Moon, I’d like to mention that Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is hanging out very close by and is asking us to step up to the plate and not be afraid to do the hard work. With this alignment there could be some challenging situations that surface in your life whether with family, work, or relationships, but before you start to feel panicked just keep in mind that there’s a good chance that it probably feels worse than it actually is. So step back and try to get some clarity. Remember that Saturn is here to help us mature and this often happens through some necessary lessons. Sometimes lessons are difficult and at times they can be painful ones to learn, but if you can take some time during this Full Moon to be in solitude, then you’ll likely be able to listen to the voice within. 

You might even find a tremendous amount of wisdom and insight available to you if you allow yourself some solace. The key is that you must take some time to listen, to deeply listen. Meaning that it’s time for you to sit in stillness, to sit in the company of your own self without any distractions. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself feeling a bit more serious than you might be used to and there’s also a chance that some restrictions, fears, or sadness might try to creep in. If this happens, allow the emotion to come and then take responsibility for what’s yours and release what no longer serves you. Yes, it really can be that simple. It’s as simple and as difficult as we make it. 

We should also pay attention to Chiron, the comet associated with the archetype of the wounded healer, who is making a challenging aspect to this Full Moon and Saturn. In many ways Chiron is inviting us to visit those places where we have felt the most wounded. Those places within that we might pretend don’t exist, or the places within that we readily try to push down and hide from others, or even the place that holds the deepest parts of our pain. No matter how much this part has remained hidden in the past, now due to Chiron forming this aspect, it’s likely that these wounds will be triggered and made more visible. This isn’t to punish or harm you, but to offer you an opportunity for healing, transformation, and change. But nothing can be transformed without first clearly seeing, accepting, and taking responsibility for what stands before you. Here’s a little secret – This is not the time to run, resist, or avoid, but rather it’s the time to get serious about facing the reality of your wounds. It’s time to work hard to uncover whatever has been holding you back. 

The good news is that Uranus is making a positive aspect to Saturn and the Full Moon so this might ignite some unexpected opportunities and could even offer you an experience with some necessary breakthroughs. Now I should warn you that Saturn is retrograde, so while there is this positive energy flowing between these planets, you might have to work really hard to see some of these changes come into fruition. In other words, it involves your active participation. 

If any of this feels discouraging just know that there will be a Water Grand Trine involving the Sun, Jupiter, and Neptune that starts to form during the first week of July. This will hopefully alleviate some of the intensity from this Full Moon and it may even open up some exciting new possibilities for you. So for now, do the hard work and if something gets triggered in you, step back and without reacting look for the wound that lives underneath. This will give you all the clues you’ll need, as we enter into the eclipses next month.

While we all might feel pulled during this Full Moon to take some time in solitude and engage in some hard work, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Capricorn is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

New Moon in Gemini - June 13, 2018

On Wednesday, June 13th, 2018 (12:44pm PST and 3:44pm EST) the New Moon/Supermoon begins its cycle in the curious and perceptive sign of Gemini. The sign that is here to see and absorb everything she can, the sign that desires to know more than she does, and embraces confusion and mystery as the signatures for her life. Let’s be clear, she’s not here to make up her mind, she’s here to fill it with all the colors of possibility. Ideas? She has plenty. She carries a childlike wonder that marvels at everything and she’s not afraid to move a million miles an hour, in fact, she can’t help it, and if there’s one word she can’t tolerate, it’s boredom. For her, there’s always something new, always something bright, always something just around the corner. To tell her there isn’t, well I guarantee she’ll prove you wrong. Her shadow might come out if you show her a truth she doesn’t want to see. Be warned: she can spin any story, any line, and any truth all without telling a lie, because for her, words are her greatest arsenal. So whether you’re right or she’s right, in an argument, you’ve likely met your match. Not to mention that with all that mind chatter, if she doesn’t seek release then it’s likely that tension will build and this will leave here in a state of complete emotional exhaustion. Ugh.

So what might this mean for you during this New Moon? It could be a time to fill your mind with some new ideas, or maybe you become more curious in any areas you might have felt stuck or labeled, and it could also be a time that you allow yourself to be captured by the wonder of this world. Another perspective might suggest that confusion has come over you and you really aren’t sure what to think – about anything. The theme is your perception and whether this is highlighted through dialogues or curious inquiries, it is likely that your mind will be active. With all this mind activity being stimulated make sure you find a release. Go exercise, talk with a friend, learn something new, be curios, go for a walk, play some tennis – just allow yourself some space and maybe even some quiet. Refrain from any sweeping claims and if all else fails, ask questions. 

Speaking of questions, during this New Moon you might want to ask: Where could I become more curious in my life? Is there any area of my life where I feel confused? Is there something new I’d like to try? Need to try? What would help me release some of the stress I’ve been holding? Is there someone I need to talk to? Is there something that I need to share? Is there something in my current world that I need to reframe? 

Now Gemini likes facts, and she will ask you to pay more attention to the information that is present rather than any opinions you or others might have about a certain topic or idea. However, since the ruler of Gemini is Mercury, and right now Mercury is in the sign of Cancer, which is the ruler of the Moon, we might conclude that this New Moon is softer than the usual Gemini energy we’re used to. This Gemini New Moon will want you to consider your feelings inside the facts. Say what? Basically, it’s time to show some emotional intelligence and you might find it easier than usual to access empathy in your conversations. The only catch is with empathy comes vulnerability and if we are left wide open, we might also become more defensive and quick to hurt or push others away with our words. During this time you might also want to consider if there are any changes you need to make in your commitments. Consider what might give you more freedom to express your truth. 

Neptune does make a very very wide square to Neptune in Pisces. The only caution here would be to not become disillusioned by any information that comes to us at this time. Remember: everything might not be as it seems and that everything you hear might not be the truth. However, with the lack of true aspects to this New Moon, expect the messages that come your way to be almost crystal clear.

While we all might feel pulled during this New Moon to engage in some new ideas, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Gemini is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.

Full Moon in Sagittarius - May 29, 2018

On Tuesday, May 29th, 2018 (7:19 am PST and 10:19 am EST) the Full Moon glows in the fiery, resilient, and adventure seeking sign of Sagittarius. The sign that is here to expand beyond the familiar, carries an incredibly large dose of optimism, and is open to the more that exists behind and within every moment. She is the sign that thrives off of taking risks, sees life as a quest, and feels compelled to question her existence and everyone else’s, too. At her core, she believes anything is possible, relies on freedom, and when she is functioning at her best she is motivated to experience all that life has to offer. 

Her ultimate purpose is to seek after the meaning of life, and to find TRUTH in everything. Yet to arrive at a final truth means ending the quest and let’s be honest, if this actually happens then Sagittarius will cease to be a Sagittarius. In other words, the quest itself is the key for truth, not the arrival. The shadow can be felt in the “too muchness” of this sign. Faith and optimism are a tremendous gift, but sometimes this can blind us from seeing what really exists. This could lead to make some poor judgments that only gets us into a lot of trouble. Keep in mind that when Sagittarian energy is present, we must also hold the idea that life is fleeting. So while there is adventure and new life around every corner, so is the fragility of life. We must hold both of these ideas closely without needing to claim one or the other as the only truth.

So what does all this mean for this Full Moon? Well, it’s likely that this energy wants to expand your world. For some of us that will sound freeing and we’ll respond with a resounding “yes, please” and yet others of us might feel, “please, no more, I need things to slow down.” However, with this Full Moon connected to Mars, the planet that is associated with the warrior, we can expect this lunar energy to give us that extra bit of boldness and drive us further into the more of what our heart needs to experience. Another way to look at this is that maybe a “big picture” for our life is starting to become clearer, but even if it appears crystal clear, we need to not be afraid to ask the question – is this really the path I want to follow? You can also ask yourself: Where has my life felt too small? Where can I add some curiosity to my life? Where could I use more boldness in my life? Where can I choose to take some necessary risks? Where have I been overextending myself? What is my current quest?

I’d also like to add that this Full Moon is accompanied by a Water Grand Trine with Venus in Cancer, Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. With all this water energy being emphasized, we can absolutely expect some increased emotional and psychic connectivity spilling over into our world. To put it simply, your feelings might FEEL more exposed and your sensitivity to life and your inner world will be turned up on high. These are also moments where we might see synchronicities increase, your dreams and imagination could feel more activated than usual, and you might find that your intuition is dialed up quite a bit more. There’s a purpose for this Grand Trine energy that connects to your soul’s evolution, so pay attention to what arises in and around you. And while you do that keep in mind that the shadow of Sagittarius will rear its head if you claim what you experience as “THE way” or the “ONLY way to be.” 

With this Full Moon, we need to consider that the sun is in Gemini and that Mercury will soon be entering this sign. This Gemini energy reminds us to stay open to possibilities, to double check information we acquire, and to keep our eyes peeled so that we don’t blindly step into trouble due to our overzealous optimism. This is a time to stay curious and remain open to what you think you know just as much as you need to remain open to what you don’t know. In these next few days take that leap of faith, and move towards anything that will expand your world, and stay present in the quest without needing to claim your arrival.

While we all might feel pulled during this Full Moon to boldly embrace our greater quest, we will each experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Sagittarius is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.
