New Moon in Leo Let it Shine (then duck)

Image
Today brings a New Moon in Leo. With Sun, Moon and Venus hangin’ together in the Sun ruled sign… plus Jupiter amplifying this exotic mix , there are lots of warm fuzzy and er …. sexy feelings about.   Our feelings of self worth and star quality will be lit up today … it’s time to shine. Just gotta make sure there is room on the stage for everyone. All you divas…the spotlight is on you. Leo Sun, Ascendant or Moon especially.... will feel kinda special today.  Leos always feel a strong sense of entitlement…and by gosh they deserve it. Doesn’t everything revolve around the Sun?  So too should all things revolve around a Leo. Now to be fair…most Leos are so warm and generous they deserve most of the attention they attract.  So what does this mean for the rest of us lowly people? Well with Venus so close in the mix, there’s a lot of love to go around. The Sun shines for all of us as the New Moon starts a new cycle beginning with Leo. Leo is about the ego and having a strong sense of sel

Taurus Moon Weekend

The Moon in Aries (fire) was conjunct Uranus last night (lightning bolt) and had me up till 4 am. I also suspect the supposedly decaf soya late’ I had at 9 pm was not decaf. Sigh. I feel invigorated though… true sign of a Uranus influence. The Moon also hit the big T-square with Pluto and Saturn at others points… not easy yet something big can shift when we get moving with the energetic force rather than agin it. ( please excuse me I am reading a book set in Scotland and it’s triggering an old Scottish self that emerges from time to time…hehe) It feels a big shift has happened within me …like a huge dark boulder that I have had my shoulder up against for some time … has slowly started inching forward … if only by small increments. The resulting sense of relief may be due to the Grand Cross energy easing now as both the Sun and Venus move further on through Cancer (Sun about to enter Leo) We can all breath a sigh of relief as this powerful configuration loses some of its intensity.

Full Moon in Capricorn Friday July 15

Image
Capricorn and Cancer are the archetypal Father and Mother. At this Full Moon they sit opposite each other … with  Capricorn given the spotlight. Though he may have greater influence under this Moon,  its home sign (literally)  of Cancer still has a lot of pull. The Cancer mother represents the home, the root, our need to nurture and be nurtured. It brings us memories of the past and emphasizes our need to feel. The Capricorn father leads us out into the material world with logic and reason…teaches us to take responsibility and asks us to fulfill our tasks and duties. He wants us to build solidity and structure….no shirking  when he is around. The polarity of this Full Moon thus represents the yin yang  balancing our inner and outer life.  The Capricorn emphasis means duties and responsibilities may override personal needs. It has been an emotionally intense month with all kinds of ups and downs with the Sun, Moon and Venus in Cancer one by one setting off the Cardina

Venus Love Self

With the Moon this weekend in Scorpio, the Sun and Venus in Cancer and  Neptune is  in Pisces, we have  tons of water = tons of emotions. Feelings are deep and intense and there is a powerful longing to express and expand them, yet also a sense of pressure and restriction.  The recent eclipse in Cancer started an emotional process that Venus will re-activate, so any emotional or relationship issues that have come to the surface recently may get triggered and/or be asking for resolution this weekend.  Venus also sits opposite Pluto in the Grand Cross so don’t expect it to be easy. There is much pressure to transform and radically reinvent how we connect to both ourselves and others. Old habits have to go.  This weekend these will be connected to our need to nurture and be nurture (Cancer).  Emotional patterns set up in childhood, where we may or may not have had those needs met, could create this under the surface tension. I suggest we all need to be extra conscious of any tendency t

Loss and Liberation Solar Eclipse in Cancer

Feeling it yet? The eclipse is already under way.  This is a day for BIG feelings and emotions... so be extra aware and cautious and remember to keep both your mind and your heart open. Emotional healing and transformation is the order of the day. Early today, both the Sun and the Moon stand at 9 Degrees Cancer, causing a partial eclipse of the Sun.  They are opposite Pluto in Capricorn  and squared both Saturn in Libra and Uranus in Aries. This configuration is called the Cardinal Grand Cross...because the  planets make a cross in the sky (also known as a Grand Square because they all square each other)    It is powerful stuff.  (see last several posts)  An eclipse of the Sun means the Moon is dominant, and both luminaries are in Cancer, where the Moon is the ruling planet. This gives the Moon, and the sign Cancer, a particular  emphasise today. The Moon rules the night sky bringing dreams and intuitions, stirring up the past, creating  hyper sensitive emotions and activatin
