Current Energies
Here we talk about New Moons, Full Moons, eclipses, retrogrades and other shifts in planetary energies that influence each of us.
New Moon in Cancer 6*25*25
Get ready. This powerful Cancer New Moon on Wednesday morning is bringing challenges. I know, I know - perhaps it's better said that it is bringing in a different level of challenges. These energies are primarily in cardinal signs. Therefore, the focus is shifting to each of us personally - what we are feeling and being drawn towards, as well as what we are being called to move away from.
The Sun and Moon will be at 4 degrees of Cancer, conjunct Jupiter at 3 degrees of Cancer. Conjunctions are a blending of the energies of the planets involved. Jupiter energy amplifies things, so the Cancer energy will be especially strong under this New Moon.
Mars Square Uranus 6*14*25 - 6*17*25
Mars is in the final degrees of Leo, the fixed fire sign. Uranus is in the final degrees of Taurus, the fixed earth sign. Over the weekend they will form an exact 90 degree angle known as a square. Squares in astrology are "hard" aspects. They are dynamic, meaning they make things very uncomfortable. So uncomfortable, we are forced to change something about our approach in order to manage the energies of the planets involved. While this aspect is short-lived, when looked at in the context of the other changes we have been experiencing recently, it can express in powerful ways.
Full Moon in Sagittarius 6*11*25
Wednesday, in the wee, wee hours of the morning, the Moon at 20 degrees of Sagittarius was opposite the Sun at 20 degrees of Gemini, forming a Full Moon. The Gemini- Sagittarius axis deals with ideas, logic, and data (Gemini) and ideals, beliefs, and philosophy (Sagittarius). Sagittarius takes the information Gemini provides and expands it. Both are mutable signs which makes them restless and curious. Sun in airy Gemini likes learning, conversation, and socialization. Moon in fiery Sagittarius is looking for inspiration, fun, and adventure.
This Full Moon will shine a light on your beliefs…You are being pushed to bring your guiding principles into your awareness…Included here are your beliefs about yourself.
New Moon in Gemini 5*26*25
This year has had a lot of transitional astrology. The outer planets are all in the process of shifting into new signs. Pluto started it off late last year with its entrance into Aquarius; Neptune moved into Aries in late March and Saturn just joined Neptune there. In June, Jupiter will move into Cancer and in July, Uranus will head into Gemini. The energies of change are intense.
This New Moon in Gemini feels like a much needed breather from all the intensity. Gemini is the mutable air sign. Like all air signs, it operates in the world of ideas. For Gemini, information is currency. It is the way to make connections with others, and Gemini energy values connection and socialization.
Saturn into Aries 2025 * 2028
Very late Saturday night Saturn completes a 29 year cycle around the zodiac and starts a new one as it enters Aries for the first time since 1996. Saturn is the planet of boundaries and limits. Saturn brings a reality check to whatever it is involved with. It is a planet of responsibility, discipline, and structure. Saturn does not deal in fantasy or wishes. Saturn will refine a vision until it becomes a goal then come up with a doable plan to achieve it.
Saturn moving into Aries will initially feel like a restriction on all Aries energy wants to do.
Full Moon in Scorpio 5*12*25
Monday afternoon just before 1pm (ET) the Moon will be full in Scorpio as the Sun at 22 degrees of Taurus opposes the Moon at 22 degrees of Scorpio. Full Moons are often turning points. Something started earlier reaches fruition. Something that has been tickling your awareness suddenly reveals itself completely. Truths come to light. On one level, there is no denying what you are being shown. You can, however, pretend not to see or choose not to act on the new information. That is the essence of your free will. It's a longstanding tenet of astrology that "the stars impel but they do not compel."
The Taurus - Scorpio axis deals with security.
