The Full Moon occurs at 24 degrees Gemini, lighting up the themes of communication, learning/teaching, and most profoundly, the balance of the mind/heart/body/spirit.  According to Stephanie, in cosmic consciousness Gemini represents the transcendence of duality. Stephanie writes, “Main Purpose (of Gemini): Where you allow Love and only Love to motivate everything you do, thereby achieving transcendence of duality.”

What, then, can we make of this lunation?  Quite simply, it’s an opportunity to complete a cycle of fear-based thinking/acting (thoughts lead to emotions which lead to actions).  It’s a time where we can consciously choose to function from a place of love instead of fear or lack. It’s a time to be in the observer’s perspective and get a wider view.

Neptune in Pisces is forming an intersection with the Moon and the Sun, so this lends an incredibly spiritual, watery feel to this very Mercurial Moon.  I say “Mercurial Moon” because the Moon is disposed by Mercury, who is stationing to go direct at 6 Sagittarius.  (More on that below.)   The dreamy vibe from Neptune can be agitating against the air and fire from the Gemini/Sagittarius energies but more importantly, there is the opportunity for balance.  Remember how the theme of Gemini is balance; to transcend duality?  How can you balance Mind (Gemini), Spirit (Neptune/Pisces), Emotions (Moon), and our personality (Sun)?  

The Moon is in resource with Chiron and in intimacy with Uranus, so the Sun is manifesting with Chiron and forming a great eliminator with Uranus. Our wounds are more subtle this time, gently informing us but not overpowering with pain.  Uranus may offer insights or jolts that enlighten us regarding what we need to release.  Remember that full moons are times of completion.  Sagittarius energy is physical, and according to Stephanie, the main purpose of Sag is “where we resolve the habits that keep you from evolving.”    This energy is ripe for releasing old patterns and creating upgrades!

Mercury is forming a lot of harmonious aspects: Manifesting with Mars and the Soul Star Chakra (North Node), forming resources with Venus, Ceres, and the Earth Chakra (S. Node).   Sometimes when Mercury stations is can be disorienting, so be gentle with yourself and don’t push mentally.  These aspects all the energy to flow, so allow for that energy.

Jupiter, who is disposing the Sun right now, is forming a stepping stone with Saturn.  Orcus, Juno and Astraea are also forming aspects with Saturn and Jupiter, with Jupiter creating an intersection between Saturn and Orcus, and Juno/Astraea manifesting with Saturn and creating a great eliminator with Jupiter.  Orcus was active in the last Full Moon as Saturn was stationing direct so this is a continuation of a theme.  Our inner guru (Saturn), knows what to do; Saturn is the Executive Director.  “Executive functioning skills” is a term that is prevalent these days, and that is very Saturnian.  Saturn governs our discipline…our ability to get things done.  He connects us to our ability to find habits and structures that support our highest good.   So again we have an aspect that supports releasing habits and structures that do no support our soul’s mission and making room for upgrades to our routines.  

With Juno and Astraea, we are called to commit (Juno) to what is balanced (Astraea). There is that word, “balance” again.  The manifestation with Saturn means the necessary discipline will feel natural.  The great eliminator with Jupiter may make it very obvious what needs to be eliminated.  Jupiter is expansive, and honestly, not always gentle.  But rest assured, whatever shows up is for our highest good.  Jupiter in Gemini likely may highlight thought patterns that are keeping us stuck in fear-based consciousness.  Simultaneously, keep in mind that Saturn is in Pisces, so this may be a spiritual discipline that we are called towards- meditation, kundalini yoga, nature walks, etc.   This is about balancing the external thought world with our spiritual world, and then taking aligned action from that balance point.  

It’s amazing how all the aspects support the overarching theme of this Full Moon!  Our marching orders form the cosmos are clear.  Taking time to get clear about where we want to go, how we want to get there, and what is holding us back would probably be useful at this time.

In peace,

Full Moon at 24 degrees Taurus, November 15, 2024 4:29PM EST

The November Full Moon occurs at 24 degrees Taurus, conjunct Uranus, the Great Awakener. It is also the last Supermoon of the year.  This means it’s time to stay awake!  Keep your eyes wide open, ready to receive the lightning bolts of insight, truth, and awakening that Uranus will deliver.  In Taurus, this could easily translate to intuitive hits about your physicality and/or material security.  

This is not the time to disassociate!

Neptune and Pluto continue their dance with Uranus during these Full Moons, with Neptune creating a resource to the Moon/Uranus and Pluto, and Pluto manifesting with the Moon/Uranus.  With the three outer planets continuing to harmonize with one another it is clear that consciousness is shifting and will continue to shift.  It may not look or feel that way now, however with Pluto preparing to move into Aquarius on November 19^th, change will happen.  Keep in mind that Pluto transits initially make us very uncomfortable, and even disempowered. Sounds about right!  It’s up to us to continue to align with our higher selves to do our part to raise the consciousness on this planet and trust that transformation will come.

Venus, currently in Capricorn, disposes this lunation.  Capricorn is the sign of the Executive Director, so Venus here means that she is the dedication, drive and authority to follow the heart’s will.  The heart is in charge!  Remember, too, that Venus also aligns with our material desires, as does Taurus.  This is a great time to focus on what you want to manifest.  What do you need to feel supported right now?  What could you call to you that would greatly improve your life? What smalls steps of action can you take that would improve your energy around these themes of physical and material security?

Venus is forming an intersection with the Nodes and also a great eliminator with Mars; what actions need to be eliminated to support Venus’s agenda?  Consider letting go of any habitual ways of being that drain your energy, such as mindless phone scrolling, constant multi-tasking, drinking too much, etc.  What small changes could you make that would free up your energy and increase your life force?  Mars is forming a manifestation with the Soul Star (N. Node) and a resource with the Earth Star (S. Node), so we have a harmonious flow that can unlock inspired action that supports our evolution.

Mercury, Saturn (currently stationing to go direct), Jupiter and Orcus are forming a grand crossroads.  Orcus is the immortal part of ourselves that we carry through each lifetime, and can represent the oath we took before we came into our present incarnation.  Mercury in Sagittarius may indicate freedom-leaning thoughts, while Saturn wants to apply discipline to our endeavors.  Jupiter in Gemini may also create friction with the Saturn and Orcus themes, as your social calendar may be quite full, or you are brimming with opportunities, ideas and plans!  As always with a grand crossroads, find balance by returning to center.  Then take inspired, balanced action from that center point.  How can the expansiveness of Mercury and Jupiter foster new insights and ideas that support your oath (Orcus) and commitments (Saturn)?  

Full Moons often lead to heightened emotions, especially with Uranus conjunct the Moon.   It is vital to stay centered.  Connect with that part of yourself that knows how to access your wisdom and ability to trust.  If you struggle with this, you can place your hands on your heart and speak directly to your heart.  You can say “hello, Heart.  I am now dropping my consciousness into my heart.  I ask that you, my higher heart, lead me today.”  Another option is to just offer up this invitation- “I ask my small self to step aside and let my Higher Self navigate.  I AM letting my Higher Self and Higher Heart be in control.”  Given that Venus is disposing the Full Moon, it feels right to bring the heart into any invocations.

In Peace,

October 17, 2024 Full “Hunter” Super Moon in Aries

This lunation in Aries is set to be a big adventure as we continue through the tail end of the wormhole!  The Moon and Sun are forming a grand crossroads with Mars in Cancer and Pluto in the final degree of Capricorn, with Pluto preparing to exit Capricorn for the final time in our lifetime.  We are still in the worm hole until November 1^st, and it’s important to stay as centered as possible during this time, especially if you feel confused or overwhelmed.

The Moon and the Sun are not traveling alone this month.  The Moon is bracketed by Chiron and Eris, while the Sun in communing with Juno and the fixed star Arcturus.  The Sun in communion with Arcturus allows us access to cosmic consciousness, while Juno brings the energy of partnership and commitment.  The Moon with Chiron and Eris likely will feel disruptive and frankly, it may hurt.  However it is worth remembering that Chiron (the Wounded Healer) and Eris (the Inner Disruptor) bring us what we need to serve our highest good.  Said another way, it helps to remember that what occurs is occurring for us, not something happening to us.   Something is being brought to the surface with this crossroads.  Transformation and inspired action (Pluto and Mars) are available if you can stay centered and aligned with your higher truth.  As Pluto exits Capricorn, how have you transformed already?  Are you ready to take a bold step in the direction that your higher self is calling you?

Besides the grand crossroads (occurring in the Cardinal signs), every major planet except Mercury is resonating with this full Moon, creating a Star of David formation (two grand manifestations that overlap to look like a star).  The Moon and the Sun bisect this star.  The grand manifestations are Venus, Mars and Neptune, and Vesta, Uranus and Pluto.  This indicates that the whole of the cosmos are working together to support us and our higher good.  Let’s explore deeper:

Venus is in a great eliminator with the Moon, in intimacy with the Sun, forming a grand manifestation with Mars and Neptune, a bridge with Uranus, and in resource with Pluto.   Whatever is occurring for you, make sure your heart is leading the way.  Meaning, are you letting doubts and fears dictate your thoughts and actions, or are you trusting in your heart?

Vesta, Uranus and Pluto are forming a grand manifestation.  Something transformative and awakening is requesting your devotion.  

Jupiter, recently having begun retrograde motion, is in resource with the Moon and forming a manifestation with the Sun, and also in intimacy with Mars and forming a stepping stone with Vesta.   Full Moons are times of completion, and with Jupiter assisting us in the cosmic review process, it may be time to let go of outdated beliefs, ways of being, relationships, jobs…whatever is holding you back from evolving.  Eris and Chiron are supporting this process (remember, they are communing with the Moon) by highlighting what does not feel good.  What still needs to be resolved?  Where is it time to just move on?  Maybe it’s time to move on from all the old wounds that hold you back.  We all have wounds and our pain isn’t to be discounted, AND we can still move forward with life.  How have your wounds helped you? Can we thank them, and then also move towards our next right step?

In addition to the grand manifestation that Neptune is in with Mars and Venus, Neptune is also in a bridge with Vesta and of course, still aspecting Uranus and Pluto, forming resources with both.  We may feel very uncertain, however with the Vesta bridge, our uncertainty may always be there until we go for it and just commit.  Devote yourself to your transformation and awakening.  Devote yourself towards moving in the direction of your higher good.   Allow the flow of Venus (your desires) and Mars (inspired action) to hurtle you past your self-doubts and egoic fears.  Remember that our mind and ego want to keep us safe, and that means staying comfortable and small.  That is not what the Soul wants.

This is truly a grand culmination, leading to a new beginning.  Pluto is leaving Capricorn.  The wormhole is coming to a close.  How will you launch this new chapter, knowing that you are completely and lovingly supported by the cosmos?

The Full Moon, at 26 Pisces, is communing with Neptune, forming a kite with Uranus and Pluto (with the Sun being the bottom of the kite), and also in intimacy with Chiron and Eris and a great eliminator with Venus.  It is also the first eclipse along the Virgo/Pisces axis.  We still have a couple more eclipses in Aries/Libra, however this is a preview of what’s to come over the next couple of years.  (You can look back to 2006 to 2008, when the Nodes were previously in Virgo/Pisces, to uncover any potential themes.)  The Sun is part of the kite formation and also is forming a grand manifestation (trine) with Pluto and Uranus.  Additionally, the Moon and the Sun are forming a loose intersection with Jupiter (5 degree orb).  There is so much support here!

This Moon is ruled by Neptune AND communing with Neptune.   This will take you on a ride deep into the limitless realm.  This is the time to feel your way around.  Let it all be- it’s not time to make perfect sense of everything and figure it all out. 

Stephanie calls a lunar eclipse a “reboot of emotions” and in Pisces communing with Neptune, this may take that reboot to new heights.  Feelings may vary between confusion and enlightenment and everything in between.  With Neptune, anything is possible.  While the Moon and Neptune are asking you to get deep into your feels and dream big, the Sun in Virgo is highlighting the practical side. You know, those pesky details that need to be attended to in pursuit of this dream.  The cosmos, as always, are asking for balance between the being (Pisces) and the doing (Virgo).

Retrograde Saturn is bridging Mercury and Orcus, so something will feel serious.  This may be the commitment to that “thing” that you are here to do.  Orcus is the part of ourselves that we carry through each lifetime; it’s our Soul.  Our mental state is aligned now with our deeper self, which is beautiful.  Remember that Saturn is the “inner guru”, so trust yourself.  Saturn may feel restricting, but what if the responsibilities and commitment that Saturn demands are part of the pathway towards your heart’s desires?

Mars in Cancer is forming a grand cross with the Nodes and Ceres/Quaoar in Capricorn.  Mars is ruling the Soul Star Chakra (North Node), so this can signify an opportunity to birth new thoughts from our higher selves (Ceres, the Midwife, communing with Quaoar, the higher octave of Mercury), in order to take action (Mars) towards our higher path (Soul Star Chakra). It’s also worth mentioning that the asteroid Pholus is also at 7 Capricorn, which can speak to an unexpected event creating a change in direction.

All of this, and we haven’t even touched on Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto!  These are all big planetary players.  The aspects with Uranus and Pluto are “easy”, in that it is a flowing energy.   Flashes of insight and transformation energies are showing up, as always, to serve highest good.  It’s being gifted to us without a lot of work.  Enjoy this inspiration and flow.

Finally, Jupiter’s intersection with the Moon and the Sun definitely makes it all feel big.  It is important to stay grounded and embodied.    Dreaming and swimming in the endless possibilities of Pisces can be lovely, but remember to come back to Earth.  Nothing gets created if we stay in our heads all the time.

All of this beautiful energy really feels to be coming together to offer us something soul-inspired.  It’s an opportunity to continue along our highest path in alignment with our heart and our higher wisdom.  We are supported right now.  Can you say “yes” to what is showing up for you?
