Current Energies
Here we talk about New Moons, Full Moons, eclipses, retrogrades and other shifts in planetary energies that influence each of us.
Pluto Leaving Capricorn
Pluto leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius on 11.19.24. This is a big deal because Pluto has been moving through Capricorn since 2008. Pluto comes with control issues. It shows our deepest fears and how we attempt to manage the discomfort they cause. It also shows the behavior patterns we have developed in order to feel safe or at least less vulnerable. In its higher expression, Pluto is transformative. It reveals what is not working so that it can be transformed into something that reflects the finest we can offer.
Solar Eclipse in Libra 10*2*24
Wednesday's Solar Eclipse in Libra brings the themes of the role of relationships in your life and how to balance your needs with those of your important others. This eclipse offers an opportunity to release outdated patterns so you can embody a new, more authentic version of yourself.
Lunar Eclipse in Pisces* 9.17.24
It's eclipse time! Every year we have 2 pairs of eclipses that are approximately 6 months apart. An eclipse is a powerful New or Full Moon, the influence of which extends until the next set of eclipses. This month's Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse. It is the first in the Pisces - Virgo eclipse family.
New Moon in Virgo * 9.2.24
We have a New Moon on Monday night when the Sun and Moon meet up at 11 degrees of Virgo. Virgo is the mutable earth sign. Like its sister earth signs Capricorn and Taurus, Virgo is practical, reality focused, and experiences life through the physical.
Full Moon in Aquarius * 8.19.24
Monday afternoon's Full Moon in Aquarius has a lot of moving parts, all of which are pushing us to make long needed changes. Aquarius offers a vision for a better world that Leo energy can be directed towards creating.
New Moon in Leo * 8.4.24
Sunday morning we have a New Moon at 12 degrees of Leo. Leo is the fixed fire sign. Fire signs are idealistic and optimistic. They are "big picture" signs, not especially concerned with details.
Mercury Retrograde in Virgo/Leo * August ‘24
Mercury retrogrades are like speed bumps in life. They are meant to slow us down and allow us to review, reflect upon and revise the way in which we approach the themes of the sign that is being traversed.
Full Moon in Capricorn * 7.21.24
This Full Moon is an astrological Blue Moon. If a month has 2 Full Moons, the second is known as a Blue Moon. They are infrequent, happening about once a year. While this is the only Full Moon in July, it is the second Full Moon in Capricorn.
New Moon in Cancer ⋆ 7.5.24
The New Moon on Friday evening has the Sun and Moon meeting up at 14 degrees of Cancer. All New Moons are opportunities to initiate changes, or at least plant the seeds for something new to take root.
