AURUM ASTROLOGY Finding the Gold in Life

Please note: I post this longish blog twice a month for New and Full Moons. If you want shorter daily updates - come visit us on Facebook/Aurumastrology ~~~~~~~~~    The recent Full Moon eclipse early on March 3rd - was in the sign of Virgo was backgrounded by  Saturn (matter) and Neptune (spirit) conjoined on the World Point (0 degrees Aries), an event that has not occurred for thousands of years. The last time they were together (though not on this critical spot) was in 1984 when the Berlin Wall came down. Neptune dissolves structures, systems, realities (Saturn). And currently, Mercury, ruler of this eclipse, is retrograde.  The very fabric of reality is shifting under our feet.   The future feels unsure, unstable, uncertain. Welcome to the awakening!  I’m a few days late in writing this ~ but not to worry ~ this eclipse energy will be in the stratosphere for several months to come. And from what i am seeing and hearing, everyone is feeling t...

A New Moon /Solar eclipse in Aquarius is occurring right now (early Feb 17th) and its effects will ripple out for months.     Aquarius is an unusual sign ~ it is all about individuality and stepping outside the status quo, yet also represents communitie, groups, society. As a fixed air sign ruled by Uranus (modern) and Saturn (traditional), Aquarians are known for being independent, intelligent, forward-thinking, and often unconventional humanitarian thinkers. Yet they can also be rather stubborn. The symbol for Aquarius is  the Water-Bearer (symbolizing the pouring of knowledge/inspiration). It is an air sign (intellect) and known to be somewhat  cool and detached, stubborn, and emotionally distant. Aqaurians are not so comfortable with one to one dynamics yet they excell in groups.  My late mom was a quirky Aquarian (her birthday would have been  yesterday) and although she kept to herself in her later years ~ when we would go out shopping etc she ...

The Full Moon today is shining on us from the wonderful sign of  Leo, with a stellium (several planets) clustering around the Sun opposite in Aquarius. This very potent Full Moon  brings us breakthroughs, creativity, self-expression, and power/bravadoas it calls us to uplift others through your own authentic self-expression.  This Moon brings to a head so much of what occurred in January ~  a very intense month with energetic zaps coming at us from all directions. From solar flares to interstellar comets to the cluster of planets travelling first through Capricorn and now Aqaurius  all bumping into Pluto (the destroyer). A cluster f#ck.  The quality of time ahead in February is equally intense, charged and unpredictable,  with many turning points and major astrological events: Saturn enters Aries, a solar eclipse occurs in Aquarius, and Saturn joins Neptune in Aries on the Aries Point. Uranus (the awakener) will turn direct then enter Gemini (the quick...

 The New Moon in Capricorn this Sunday (Jan 18) offers a deep reset that is rooted in the Capricorn themes of purpose, integrity, and steady action. The symbol for Capricorn is the mountain goat who climbs to precarious mountain tops.  If you have a project to begin or complete, now's the time to do it. Interestingly, this mountain  goat is actually a sea goat with a fishy tail, suggesting that Capricorns are deliciously complex. On one hand Capricorns are tenacious, down-to-earth, very hard-working and very passionate about their life's purpose as they strive for the mountain top. On the other hand - these  goats swim in deep waters and can be incredibly creative and inventive, with many famous artists like David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, John legend, Jim Carrey (and many more)  a testament to that. While  Capricorns can have a serious, competitive and tenacious side that drives them forward, they often struggle with negativity. With Saturn the h...

Happy New Year!   2026 begins with a powerful Super Full Moon in Cancer , a watery lunation that marks an emotional peak and an opportunity to release another layer. It may reveal what emotional baggage we are carrying into the new year and offer a gentler way forward, with more ease and grace.   The first Full Moon of the year is known as the Wolf Moon , named for the time when food was scarce and wolves howled through the winter nights. There is a similar intensity to this Cancer Full Moon—a deeply sensitive sign—where vulnerabilities are heightened, but so too are compassion, support, and healing.   This is also a Supermoon , appearing larger and brighter as it moves closer to Earth. With Jupiter joining the Moon , emotions feel abundant and amplified. This lunation is especially potent because Cancer is the Moon’s natural home, where lunar energy is strongest. Arriving just days after the New Year, it acts as an emotional exhale—clearing space so we can truly be...
