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?

Full Moon, August 19^th, 2024, 2:26pm EDT

Welcome to the Full Moon in Aquarius, and the first of four Super Moons.    The Moon and Sun are forming a grand crossroads with Uranus in Taurus and Pallas Athena in Scorpio.  Pluto and Uranus are in a manifestation, with Neptune in the middle, forming a resource with both.   And finally, Neptune and Pluto are forming a Boomerang Yod with the Sun/Mercury and Vesta, with the Moon as the “release valve” of the boomerang .  Phew!   What this means is that flashes of insight, awakening, sudden change of direction, and transformation are very possible (if not assured).   Mercury, involved in this Yod, is retrograde and will not recover his shadow until September 11^th.  That means that Mercury will come back and reactivate this aspect in the coming weeks.   The relationship between the transformative energies of Pluto and the dreamy, often confusing energies of Neptune are not new, as they have been in resource for several months, however with the Full Moon acting as a release point, you can expect some sort of shift to occur.   The Full Moon is ruled by Uranus, and the Sun is at home in Leo.  So this is a potent time for the Sun and the Moon to illuminate everything about you.  What do you see about yourself now?  How do you perceive yourself, and what are you learning about yourself?  Mercury in Leo is supporting a shift in mindset.  Use this shift to your advantage! We already know that Uranus is going to be serving up flashes of insight, brilliance, and/or some other shake up and wake up.  And, with Pallas in the crossroad, we have wisdom and resourcefulness available to us.  It’s important to stay as balanced and centered as possible to allow for conscious choice towards the most fulfilling path.  If change is thrust upon you, can you come from a place “nothing happens to me, but rather for me”?   

Retrograde Saturn is bridging Venus, with Mars and Jupiter (who are separating after their new cycle that occurred just days earlier on August 14^th)  forming an intersection between Venus and Saturn.   Saturn can be giving some resistance to whatever was offered up by this new cycle with Mars and Jupiter, or can be providing structure and maturity to whatever you want to do next.  What are you wanting to move towards, and what is holding you back?  What limiting beliefs could be in play that are stunting your growth?  What responsibilities do you need to tend to, and which can you get help with?  What needs to go?  Venus is asking, “What do you truly value?”  Do you feel worthy of these values?  What is truly important?  In Virgo, Venus asks, “Where can you be of service?”  Mars and Jupiter’s new cycle occurred in Gemini- where heart and mind connect and balance.  Saturn in Pisces can assist with providing structure and help navigate the emotional waters of change.  You may feel tension between the jubilant and passionate energies of Mars/Jupiter, and the restricting energy of Saturn, however balance, as usual, is the key.  All of these energies are meant to work together as a whole.

This is a big lunation, and remember that Mercury is retrograde.  You don’t have to do anything today.  Be present to the big energies.  Allow them to stir up whatever is ready to be stirred up!  Remember that change is a part of life, and we are here to shift and evolve.  I’ll leave these questions here for pondering:

Where or how can you be in service?

What do you truly value?  (Hint- actions mean more than words here)

What is stirring within your soul?  What is calling you?

What insights have shown up?   Any signs or synchronicities?

Where do you need more structure and balance in your life?  Where do your routines need tweaking?  Do you need less structure and more freedom?

Are you inspired to learn anything new?  What would you like to share, or teach?

Do you believe you are worthy of anything showing up for you now?  (Hint- you are!  If you don’t believe so, start getting curious about why you don’t believe it).

If change is showing up for you, are you resisting it?  If so, why?  What does your Soul have to say about this change?  What are the possibilities here?

Blessings to all on this Super Moon!

Full Moon in Capricorn, July 21, 2024 6:17am EDT

This is the second full Moon in Capricorn, this time occurring at 29 degrees (the Full Moon in June was at 1 degree Capricorn).  If you thought last month’s lunation was intense, then buckle your seatbelt and prepare for a ride.

This time, the lunation doesn’t just occur at the powerful 29^th degree, but includes the following:

The Moon is conjunct Pluto, in resource with Neptune, manifesting with Mars and Uranus, Great eliminator with Mercury.

The Sun is in intimacy with Mercury, in resource with Mars and Uranus and manifesting with Neptune.

AND- the Moon and the Sun are creating an intersection with Chiron and Eris (23 and 25 degrees Aries) and another one with Haumea at 0 degrees Scorpio.   Phew!

This lunation continues the themes that began at last month’s full Moon, completing something that showed up at the time along the themes of the Cancer/Capricorn axis.  You can review last month’s report and/or your journal to remember what was showing up at that time.  Recall that Capricorn is the sign of the Executive Director and Cancer is the sign of the Mother.    The Moon is also still disposed by Saturn in Pisces.  Consider this- are there emotional wounds, especially from childhood (Cancer energy) that are being illuminated by the Sun?  Are those wounds preventing you from claiming rightful ownership of your life, your goals, your dreams?  

Mercury in a stepping stone with Uranus promises flashes of insight, although those insights may not feel comfortable.   The upside to discomfort is that it can be very motivating.  Let yourself be moved!  Old patterns of thinking and behaving serve to keep you in your comfort zone, but is it serving your highest good?

Mars and Uranus are manifesting with the Moon and Pluto and when these two come together it is always very powerful.  Pluto is always pushing for transformation and rebirth, and Mars is lending his energy to make way for something more in alignment with your higher self.  This could also feel very big (Pluto), sudden (Uranus) and possibly overwhelming (Moon).   Remember to give yourself plenty of self-love, compassion and empathy.   Re-parent yourself by giving yourself the attention and empathy you deserve, but may not have been given as a child. Said another way, showing up for yourself may feel very foreign to you, but it’s important to do so.  Hold space for yourself without judgment.  This allows you to bridge the Cancer energy of the Mother with these powerful Capricorn energies and use it to serve your highest path instead of holding you back.

Mercury is forming a Finger of God with Neptune and the Moon/Pluto.   The tension between emotional transformation (Moon/Pluto) and enlightenment or illusions (Neptune) points to  thoughts/beliefs (Mercury).  So practice awareness of those thoughts and beliefs and remember to consider how those thoughts and beliefs serve your highest good.  The work of Byron Katie is coming to mind right now.  You can ask yourself, “Is this true?”  “Who would I be if I didn’t believe these thoughts?”  (I’m paraphrasing Byron Katie but you can look her up if you want a deeper dive.)

Finally, let’s discuss the intersections (one could argue it’s a crossroads but Eris and Haumea are a bit far apart).  We have Eris, the inner disruptor, dancing with Chiron, the wounded healer.  Inner pain is informing this lunation. On the other side the powerful 5D creatrix, Haumea, insists that something magical can be made here.   So which direction to choose?  Remember that old wounds can be healed and we can move forward.   Old, repetitive cycles can be transcended.   Pluto is practically demanding it.

This is an incredibly powerful, transformative Full Moon. Give yourself plenty of space to be in this energy.  Remember that love transcends fear, and focus on what you love. What do you want your legacy to be?  What is Pluto demanding of you at this time?  Can you take one small step forward?  And another?  And then another?

Let’s all take a collective deep breath, with hands on our hearts.  The energy is huge right now.  As I am writing this, I am sending all of you love and peace.  Let’s all send that energy out into the world.  It is needed.  And all is well.
