Solar Eclipse October 2024 in Libra: Preparing for New Beginnings

On October 2, 2024, we experience a new moon solar eclipse at 10 degrees of Libra. This transit impacts individuals with planets and aspects between 5-15 degrees of this sign the most. But it likewise influences individuals with planets and aspects in Gemini, Aquarius, Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn at the same degrees.   This eclipse follows the lunar eclipse in Pisces in September 2024. Libra’s…

astro notes- libra full moon & eclipse 🌕

MARCH 25TH- The Libra full moon shines a light on our relationships, urging us to release doubt and uncertainty. As we transition from the Equinox into Aries season, a new cycle begins, marked by the fast-approaching total eclipse on the Aries new moon. This eclipse season acts as a powerful catalyst for change, offering us the opportunity to realign and detoxify our energy.

The Aries-Libra axis highlights the dynamic interplay between individuality and partnership, self-expression and cooperation. These opposing forces challenge us to find balance within ourselves and in our connections with others. It's a time for deep introspection and transformation, as we navigate the delicate dance between independence and interdependence.

Eclipses are not to be feared but embraced as gateways to resolution and new beginnings. They offer us a chance to shed past karma and step into our higher purpose. As Carl Jung teaches, life emerges from the spark of opposites, and the Lunar Eclipse in Libra reminds us to harmonize polarities to experience a more vibrant existence.

During this eclipse cycle, observe your experiences and reflections, noting any shifts or realizations that occur. Embrace change and complexity, turning problems into powers and paradoxes into pathways to growth. As we navigate these cosmic currents, may we find balance, harmony, and a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness.

Aries Rising (Libra 7th House - Aries 1st House): This eclipse highlights the need to find balance in your relationships (7th house) while asserting your individuality (1st house). You may experience shifts in your partnerships that encourage you to take a more assertive stance in expressing your needs and desires.

Taurus Rising (Libra 6th House - Aries 12th House): The eclipse brings attention to your health and daily routines (6th house) as well as your spiritual and subconscious realms (12th house).

Virgo Rising (Libra 2nd House - Aries 8th House): Finances, values, and self-worth (2nd house) come into focus, along with shared resources and deep transformations (8th house). You may need to reassess your financial situation and how you share resources with others, leading to a more profound understanding of your own worth.

Libra Rising (Libra 1st House - Aries 7th House): This eclipse highlights your identity and self-expression (1st house) as well as your partnerships and relationships (7th house). You may experience a shift in how you perceive yourself in relation to others, leading to a greater sense of balance and harmony in your relationships.

Scorpio Rising (Aries 6th House - Libra 12th House): Health, work, and service to others (6th house) are emphasized, along with spirituality and subconscious patterns (12th house). You may feel a need to take better care of your physical and mental well-being, leading to a deeper understanding of your own inner workings.

Sagittarius Rising (Aries 5th House - Libra 11th House): The eclipse highlights creativity, romance, and children (5th house) as well as friendships and social connections (11th house). You may feel inspired to pursue creative projects or connect with like-minded individuals who share your aspirations.

Capricorn Rising (Aries 4th House - Libra 10th House): Home, family, and emotional foundations (4th house) come into focus, along with your career and public image (10th house). You may experience changes in your professional life that require you to find a balance between your personal and public responsibilities, leading to a greater sense of fulfillment in both areas.

Aquarius Rising (Aries 3rd House - Libra 9th House): Communication, learning, and short trips (3rd house) are emphasized, along with higher education and philosophical pursuits (9th house). You may feel a strong urge to expand your knowledge or share your ideas with others, leading to new opportunities for growth and understanding.

Pisces Rising (Aries 2nd House - Libra 8th House): Finances, values, and self-worth (2nd house) come into focus, along with shared resources and deep transformations (8th house).

Super Full Moon in Aries Talon Abraxas

Super Full Moon in Aries: Transform Challenges into Opportunities

On October 17, 07:26 AM EST, a Super Full Moon at 24º34º of Aries takes place. This event invites us to tap into our inner strength and transform challenges into growth opportunities. Despite not being an Eclipse, this Full Moon is a powerful one: besides representing the peak of a lunar cycle that began two weeks ago with the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra, it also marks the culmination of a larger six-month cycle that started on April 8, 2024, with the New Moon Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. This is also a Super Full Moon: the Moon is closer to us than usual and appears bigger and brighter than a regular Full Moon. Due to the Moon’s proximity and increased gravitational pull on the tides, these events are typically felt more intensely.

This event is especially relevant for the individuals born with natal planets or angles around the 24º of Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn). They will feel this Full Moon more strongly and are more likely to experience significant changes in their lives. As a chapter of their healing journey comes to completion, they have opportunities to reflect on the past months, acknowledge their growth, and free themselves from what doesn’t serve them.

Super Full Moon in Aries: Raw Emotions

Full Moons mark the peak point of the lunar cycle: at this time of the month, the Sun and the Moon are directly facing one another and the light of the Sun illuminates our inner, emotional world. Every Full Moon brings our attention to what is unresolved, unfelt, and unacknowledged and offers us opportunities to acknowledge and feel it. Clarity is more easily accessible at this time of the month and what was previously hidden from our awareness is revealed.

Emotions are heightened when the Moon is Full, and even more so when the Moon is transiting through an instinctual, impulsive Fire sign such as Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac. When the Moon is in Aries, we tend to experience a palpable feeling of urgency, along with a strong need for stimulation, novelty, and immediate action.

Under a Super Full Moon in Aries, we experience emotions viscerally and intensely and tend to express them in raw, unfiltered ways. In the sign of the Warrior, a Full Moon can trigger surges of deep-seated anger and frustration. With Aries’ ruler Mars currently traveling through the emotional sign of Cancer, long-held resentments can suddenly surface and be brought into the open.

Balancing Autonomy and Togetherness

Every Full Moon brings our attention to two opposing and complementary signs, and this month the Aries-Libra axis is in the spotlight, which brings our attention to how we harmonize independence and interdependence, freedom and connection, autonomy and togetherness.

The relationship axis is highlighted now, and relationship themes have been in the spotlight for the past weeks, especially since the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra took place. At this point, we can no longer ignore what doesn’t work, what is out of balance, and what has been built on a faulty foundation.

As Eclipse season draws to a close, the Aries Full Moon reminds us that, in order to relate to other people authentically, we must know ourselves and we must be committed to honoring our truth, our needs, and our desires. This event will empower many of us to tap into the courage and strength we need to make bold decisions, set clear boundaries, and walk away from situations that don’t serve our highest good.

Full Moon conjunct Chiron: the Wisdom of Pain

This Full Moon happens at 24º Aries and is conjunct with both Chiron and Eris. Chiron is a celestial body associated with the archetype of the wounded healer and teacher. In Astrology, Chiron represents a very sensitive, tender point in a chart: it is connected to deep vulnerabilities, wounds, and painful existential experiences that reveal life’s inherent unfairness. Chiron’s lessons revolve around the fact that when pain becomes our teacher, we develop a unique kind of compassion and wisdom, one that can’t be developed otherwise.

When Chiron is conjunct with the Moon, emotional healing takes center stage as we are confronted with recurring emotional pain, with wounds that won’t stop bleeding, or that periodically reopen. Chiron teaches us to stay present with our grief and feel our grief without trying to find a solution for it, without trying to fix it.

The Total Solar Eclipse that took place in April was also conjunct with Chiron, and this magnifies the significance of this conjunction. The current Full Moon will help us gain a clear awareness of where we are at in our healing journey, what changed in the last six months, what didn’t change, and what we learned, especially when it comes to relating to our pain.

Around this time, we can expect intense, cathartic emotional releases. While long-buried wounds may resurface or reopen, opportunities for deep healing and resolution will be available too.

Full Moon conjunct Eris: Anger as a Transformative Force

Eris is a dwarf planet that was first discovered in 2003. Because of her recent discovery, we can say that an awareness of our relationship with her energy is still emerging into collective consciousness. Eris needs over 500 years to travel through the Zodiac: she has been in Aries since 1926 and remains in the sign until 2044.

Before receiving her official name, she was temporarily named Xena, after the warrior princess from a popular TV show. Eris was then named after the mythological Goddess of Chaos and Discord, the sister of Ares (the Greek equivalent of Mars) and the daughter of Nyx, the Goddess of the night.

Astrologically, Eris is connected to feminine anger, empowerment, and with the drive to expose the truth and fight for it. She has also to do with the urge to create chaos, discord, and destruction for the sake of it, or for our egoic pleasure.

While her energy can indeed be expressed in very destructive ways, Eris gives us strength to progress in our empowerment journey, rebel from oppression, reclaim our freedom, expose the truth, and reveal dysfunctions. She teaches us that anger, channeled constructively, is the catalyst that helps us stand up for ourselves and walk away from what we refuse to tolerate. On this Full Moon, the invitation for us is to explore how to relate with our anger as a transformative force, rather than a destructive one.

Full Moon square Mars and Pluto: Breaking Points

The Moon in Aries and the Sun in Libra, as well as Chiron and Eris, square both retrograde Pluto in Capricorn and Mars in Cancer, the planetary ruler of this Full Moon. This highly charged configuration can point to an escalation of conflicts and power struggles: as long-accumulated tension erupts into the open, the likelihood of experiencing separations and breaking points increases.

These planets are forming a Cardinal Grand Cross, which consists of planets traveling through all the Cardinal signs, forming two oppositions, and all simultaneously squaring each other. This configuration reflects a buildup of energy that is locked in and needs to find an outlet: Cardinal signs have an inherent need to initiate, and when this impulse is thwarted frustration grows.

The activation of Pluto at 29º of Capricorn and Mars in Cancer, which was also squaring the Solar Eclipse in Libra two weeks ago, pushes us to recognize and release habitual patterns that represented a way to survive in the past but damage us in the present. The prominence of the Cancer-Capricorn axis points to the necessity of healing childhood wounds that keep impacting our lives and our relationships. This is an invitation to take responsibility for our healing and learn to create security for ourselves.

Super Full Moon in Aries: Transform Challenges into Opportunities

The Super Full Moon in Aries invites us to transform our relationship with our anger and strengthen our connection with our passion, with our aliveness, with the pulse of our desire. This event inspires us to keep our inner fire burning, get things moving, and practice expressing intense emotions constructively rather than destructively.

As the Full Moon peaks, Venus in Scorpio and Uranus in Taurus are opposing each other: this aspect indicates that our relationships and values are undergoing a revolution, they are changing in unexpected and unpredictable ways. While we may feel a strong tension between our desire for intimacy and our need for independence, we have an opportunity to break free from styles of relating that don’t serve us and embrace more authentic, liberated ways of connecting with others, aligning with our true values. The Venus-Uranus opposition motivates us to question the status quo and challenge how things have always been done to discover what works for us.

Meanwhile, Jupiter in Gemini is forming a harmonic sextile to Chiron, Eris, and the Full Moon, offering us an escape valve to diffuse the tension of the Grand Cross configuration. The sextile to Jupiter highlights the value of asking questions, being curious, and exploring new ways of attributing meaning to our experiences. Jupiter’s activation highlights the importance of being connected with our truth and finding new opportunities for growth and healing amidst the challenges we may experience.

Energy Update: October 2024

October is a “9” Universal Month [10 (October) + 8 (2024) = 18 = 1+8=9] in a “8” Universal Year. In numerology, “9” is the number of completions and endings. For some, big projects will finally be coming to fruition. Others of us may be dealing with endings, for good or ill. This aligns with the month’s astrological energy, which includes our last solar eclipse in Libra in this lunar node cycle and some significant planetary shifts.

The Set Up

We begin the month with the Sun and Mercury in Libra, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Gemini, retrograde Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, retrograde Uranus in Taurus, and retrograde Pluto in Capricorn. By month’s end, the Sun and Mercury will have moved into Scorpio and Venus into Sagittarius. Additionally, Jupiter will have retrograded, and Pluto will station direct. Mars will also have entered its pre-retrograde shadow in Cancer.

The Nitty Gritty

The month begins with a bang with a solar eclipse at 10° Libra on the second. Otherwise, all eyes are on Pluto, who is on its last legs in Capricorn for the next two months, and Mars, who is entering its pre-retrograde shadow. These three events not only set the tone for the month but will ripple through the rest of the year and into the coming one ahead.

Our Lights: The Sun and the Moon

The Sun will spend 3/4 of the month in the cardinal air sign of Libra and the last bit in the fixed water sign of Scorpio. This is our last Libra season before our lunar nodes switch to the Pisces-Aries axis in January of 2025, and we all have one final reckoning to meet around the themes of independence vs. togetherness. We’re coming out of a pandemic that highlighted both ends of this spectrum: on the one hand, we all felt the loneliness and isolation of the quarantine times, but on the other, it took a considerable amount of working together to create and distribute novelle vaccines to the entire world. We all got a deeper glimpse into how big and how small our lives really are. How interconnected, but also how separate.

I don’t mean to downplay this event or the trauma it has caused us all, but instead, to emphasize its complexity. What I have found the most fascinating about these past four years is how differently people experienced and synthesized these moments—sometimes even people who lived in the same house as one another! When somebody we loved could understand our experience with the pandemic, we felt more connected; when they did not, we felt more isolated.

Although this certainly isn’t over, it IS a good analogy for what is happening inside all of us and what is being highlighted by this last Libra eclipse on the Aries-Libra axis. All of us, every human on this planet, have a baseline of where we fall on the individuality to connectedness scale. Some of this comes straight out of our natal birth charts – Aries, often, are quite independent, and Libras are most certainly not. But our backgrounds, experiences, triumphs, and traumas all shape who we are and what we are comfortable with. We have all been forced to look at where we fall on this scale; we have all been weighed, and some of us have been found wanting. I don’t mean to imply a universal right or wrong in this regard, but there may often be for a certain place at a certain time.

Then you have two choices: You can adapt, or you can leave and find a place that is more to your liking.

Because the Aries-Libra axis is one of independence and connectedness, relationships have been on the hot seat for a long two years. Many of us really had to consider whether what we were doing (and with whom we were doing it) was worth the sunk cost. I don’t just mean Big R Romantic relationships here, either. All human interactions are relationships. Some will be worth every effort we put into them. And others were never worth our time.

All of this will come to a head leading into our solar eclipse on 10/02 because Libra is the sign of relationships and togetherness. This is a mixed energy eclipse as it involves the energy of a new moon conjunct to the energy of the South Node, our axis of past-facing fate. Also, our two relationship signs (Venus in Scorpio and Mars in Cancer) will be in a wide grand trine with retrograde Saturn in Pisces. Many people will ask themselves, “Is this really meant to be?” and likely coming up short. Because, after all, is ANYTHING truly meant to be? This astrologer says no, not that way anyway; that’s just not how fate works.

But this isn’t a post about synastry and how we fulfill lessons in each other’s lives. It’s about the cosmic, often overdue, realization that you cannot live for another person – you must live for yourself. That’s the lesson of our North Node in Aries, and we’re almost out of time.

Some relationships will end in and around the solar eclipse, that’s just the way of things. It may be hard, and it may really fucking hurt. But people who can’t agree on what a relationship means, who can’t bend and align to live a life together with interconnectedness rather than codependence, well, they really aren’t meant to be, aren’t they?

I know that there are some Libra types out there who have never learned this lesson and who are very mad at me for writing this. What can I say? I have an Aries moon. That’s my bias. Do you know what yours is?

This new moon is a 5/5 moon.

7 (Libra moon) + 7 (Libra Sun) = 14 – 1+4 = 5. 5 (Libra new moon) + 9 (October 2024) = 14 = 1+4 =5.

5 is a bit of a warning, a conflict number. This aligns with the energy of the eclipse pretty seamlessly. It’s not that what is meant to be is easy, per se, but when you are well aligned, you can get through conflicts easily. Pay attention to that during the eclipse and the days surrounding it.

Otherwise, our Sun squares off with Mars in Cancer on 10/14, which will be a rough-and-tumble fighty sort of day. Be ready to get into it, or step the fuck out of the way. You might be able to channel this cardinal energy into a project if you’ve got a well-aspected Mars in your natal birth chart but don’t push your luck with other people during this time. The Sun’s trine with Jupiter on the 13th may smooth things over, but only if you’re especially lucky. (Jupiter is retrograde and in its exile, after all)

Our full moon on 10/17 falls at 24° Aries and will pull in a lot of energy from our Sun-Mars square and our total solar eclipse last April through the Moon’s conjunction with Chiron. Our solar eclipse was at 19° Aries and was part of a major stellium between the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, and Chiron. Now slow-moving Chiron is still sitting at 21°, holding that wound.

This is an 8/8 full moon.

1 (Aries Moon) + 7 (Libra Sun) = 8. 8 (Aries Full Moon) + 9 (October 2024) = 17 = 1+7 = 8.

8 is the number of the ouroboros and the infinity sign; it is a reminder that what comes around goes around. Everything that goes up must come back down, and vice versa. Expect the highest highs and the lowest lows on an 8 moon, which is a double 8 moon. You can work with the Stength card or the Wheel of Time in the tarot to further this energy.

As the Sun prepares to exit Libra on 10/22, it forms a quick square with Pluto in Capricorn, repeating the theme of endings this month. Pluto is the planet of death and transformation, and he will be in Capricorn for a scant two months more for the next two hundred years! If you couldn’t put it down on the eclipse, do it now.

This energy will shift rapidly as we exit our very last eclipse cycles and enter Scorpio season. Things may get dark and moody, but they will certainly feel less fated as our luminaries pull away from our lunar nodes.

Mars

Mars gets near-to-the-top billing this month as it enters its pre-retrograde shadow on 10/04. This retrograde will occur between 06° Leo and 17° Cancer, so the switchover from cardinal to fixed sign will be in the hot seat for the next seven months. You read that right: 7 months from 10/2 when Mars enters its pre-retrograde shadow to 5/2 when it exits its post-retrograde cycle.

I feel like we’re in for a reminder here. All retrogrades happen in three stages as the planet will pass over the same points in the horoscope wheel thrice: first in forward motion (the pre-retrograde shadow), secondly when moving backward in retrograde, and thirdly as it moves forward the final time in its post-retrograde shadow. This is why (how?) retrogrades tend to bring with them our deepest lessons: any aspect that Mars makes with your chart will happen three times in the next seven months.

I will explore this energy more in my Mars retrograde Update, but the transition from cardinal to fixed signs is one of actualization. Cardinal signs are the searching signs and the first signs of the season. Fixed signs are the root signs; they take what the cardinal sign has uncovered and plant it/make it solid. Mars is the planet of action. Retrogrades are a time of re-s: we get to rethink, revise, revisit, renovate.

Mars will be in the pre-retrograde shadow phase for the entire month. During this phase, Mars will be in aspect with all of our personal planets and Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron. Because this astrological event lasts for seven months, we can acknowledge the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus as a part of this story. However, we know they will be across the horoscope and into Taurus season by the time this transit resolves. Our outer planets and Chiron move much slower; they are the meat of this retrograde cycle.

This is looking ahead a lotta bit (but this will go until May 2025 so stay with me here), but this theme of hoovering on the edge between two planets (which Mars will now embody) has been in place all year as Pluto moves back and forth over the line between Capricorn and Aquarius. Now, looking ahead to 2025, Uranus will do so on the line between Taurus and Gemini and Neptune between Pisces and Aries. On top of that, our lunar nodes change signs in January!

Mars can get a little bit off of its game when so much is going on. Mars is also in its fall in Cancer., where it will be all month.

If you don’t know where to turn or what path to take, know you are right on time. It’s frustrating AF, I’m sure, but it is a part of the process. As we transition into this new era, many of us are finding that the ground underneath us has shifted. What made sense before may not make sense now.

You can consider these next seven months our planetary adjustment zone.

Things to remember: Cancer is considered the fall of Mars because the crab doesn’t move in a straight line. The crab is also known for holding on for dear life, so maybe work on loosening that death grip (you know what I mean if that is intended for you).

This will affect everyone because Mars is one of our personal planets. Mars is also the one personal planet that is beyond the Earth, which means that it works a little bit differently from Mercury and Venus. Mars isn’t tied to the Sun, which seems important to note here. These are the people that will be most affected by our Mars retrograde. Note here that you may have more than one and each compounds.

Anyone with Sun, Moon, or Ascendant between 00-06° of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) or 17-29° of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) with additional emphasis on Cancer and Leo/conjunctions

Anyone with Mars in those degrees of any sign (but the ones listed above most specifically)

Anyone with Mercury of Venus in those signs/degrees

Any Aries or Scorpio Sun or Moon

Anyone with a Mars dominant chart

Anyone with a luminary or personal planet between 00-06° Aries and Sagittarius or 17-29° Scorpio and Pisces

I’ll get into what this means more as we start working through this transit (I have seven months to write about it, apparently), but it’s time to become aware right now. And to give yourself grace is your work – whatever that means to you – happens more slowly.

Mercury

Mercury will be in Libra until the 13th when it enters Scorpio. In Libra, it will square off with Mars in Cancer, which may make the days around the 6th challenging and bitey. The next day, it will trine Jupiter in Gemini, so this likely won’t have any lasting effects.

Before it enters Scorpio, it will square Pluto on 10/13. I think this may feel like a bit of a release. This is the last time Mercury will square Pluto while Pluto is still in Capricorn. This day may feel somber, as if the hollows are extra hollow. You can work with that.

Mercury in Scorpio trines retrograde Saturn in Pisces on 10/22, reminding us of where we’ve been and how far we have come in the last four years. This will sit better with some people than with others, and it may be a deeply emotional day for some. At the end of the month, Mercury meets up with Neptune and Uranus as it begins to make moves to switch signs again. This could be intense for some, but it will mostly pass uneventfully.

Venus

While Mars is mired in its pre-retrograde shadow all month in Cancer, we look to Venus to see if we will get anywhere at all. Both Venus and Mars are our two movement planets; their interactions with each other show us how we attract (Venus) and go out and get (Mars) what we want. The world will run a bit smoother when Venus and Mars are better aligned. People will get along better. The two, especially poorly maligned, have indications for war and other human-made calamities.

Venus begins the month in the fixed water sign Scorpio until 10/17, when it enters the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius. As the Morning Star, Venus is at full speed, rushing ahead of the Sun. For as long as the Sun is in Libra, Venus will be our guiding planet, and she will be the intense watery depths of Scorpio. Note here that this is the sign of Venus’s exile as it is the opposite sign of Taurus, its domain.

Venus in Scorpio can be quixotic and demanding. She may not tell you what she really wants but instead, expect the world to read her mind. Monsters are lurking in those depths. She does have magnetism, though, something that Venus LIKES. This may be why Scorpio is the sign of Venus’s exile; Venus loves the power that Scorpio provides her, and that much is clear. The problem comes when the rest of the world doesn’t exactly enjoy how she is yielding that power.

Great responsibility and all that…

Venus in Scorpio trines Mars in Cancer on 10/08, which is generally indicative of lovey-dovey weather. It’s worth noting here that retrograde Saturn is a part of this equation and in a grand trine to them both during this event. Yeah, sure, love might be in the air, but consequences are also on the table. This is echoed twice as Mars has just entered his pre-retrograde shadow. Stay aware of who you cuddle up with during this time; what glitters may not be gold.

If you’ve said yes before and the two of you love getting mushy together, this will be a great day to have a watery date. Real Valentine’s Day energy. But, like with V-Day, it may be better to sit it out of you don’t trust your potential date. And definitely don’t sign any contracts (romantically speaking).

We will still be a bit hung over from our solar eclipse, which was all about the pitfalls of relationships. Don’t do somebody that day just to have somebody to do it, if you catch my drift.

Venus will lighten up some once she enters Sagittarius, but she, too, needs to come clean with Pluto on the way out of Scorpio. Again, some romantic relationships are not meant to make it all the way to November this year. This square with Pluto will be the last time Venus makes a major aspect with Pluto before it exits Capricorn next month.

In Sagittarius, she immediately trines the North Node, again, for the last time before the North Nodes switch signs in January. There are a lot of endings here.

After that, Venus in Sag squares off with retrograde Saturn in Pisces, putting even more tension on the consequences and endings we are experiencing all month.

Jupiter

On 10/09, Jupiter will station retrograde at 21° Gemini. As one of our intermediary planets, Jupiter retrogrades aren’t felt as deeply as those of our personal planets. The days immediately around this retrograde may feel liminal or a bit uneasy, as always happens when a planet stands still in the skies. Jupiter – the planet of expansion – is weaker while it is in retrograde, compounded by the fact that it is in the sign of its exile (Gemini).

Pluto

On 10/11, Pluto will station direct at 29° Capricorn. This is a big shift as it is the final curtain call on our Pluto-in-Capricorn era. In November, Pluto will move into Aquarius for the last time in this cycle. Outer planetary shifts happen very slowly; Pluto changes signs every 15-30 years. It’s the end of an era. Most people won’t feel this personally as this is our outer most dwarf planet, but the effects of this will ripple forward through 2025 and beyond.

the shadow side of juno ✨💔

Does your Juno placement have hard aspects? You could be dealing with the shadow side of Juno, where all that glitters isn't gold. For years I wondered why things didn't work out with my astrological soulmate, why things turned so sour? 😪

The further I studied my placement the further I realised I was dealing with the shadow side of Juno. A wolf in sheeps clothing. A faux soulmate so to speak. Look toward your corresponding sign and stay away from anyone that gives off these red flags. They are not your soulmate. ⬇️

Juno in Aries: Impulsive to a fault, your faux soulmate could be a ticking time bomb of anger and aggression. This is a love that can quickly spiral into a cycle of heated fights and reckless decisions. Their fiery nature can lead to dominance and ego battles, where love feels more like a war zone.

Juno in Taurus: Your faux soulmate might be the embodiment of stubbornness and material obsession. They can become so fixated on comfort and possessions that they suffocate the relationship. Their fear of change can lead to a stagnant, lifeless love, where both of you feel trapped in a golden cage.

Juno in Gemini: Charm morphs into manipulation. Your faux soulmate could be a master of words but a novice in honesty, leading you through a labyrinth of half-truths and flirtations. Their fear of depth can leave you feeling alone in a relationship filled with superficial connections and empty conversations.

Juno in Cancer: Overprotective to the point of being smothering, your faux soulmate might have a love that feels more like quicksand. Their emotional turbulence can create a stormy home life, where you feel constantly on edge, trying to navigate their unpredictable moods and possessiveness.

Juno in Leo: Your faux soulmate’s need for attention could eclipse everything, including you. Their pride and demand for admiration can lead to a one-sided relationship where your needs are overshadowed by their endless quest for the spotlight, leaving you in the shadows of their grandeur.

Juno in Virgo: Perfectionism turns into relentless criticism. Your faux soulmate’s desire for order can create an oppressive environment, where you feel constantly judged and never good enough. Their obsession with details can choke the spontaneity and joy out of your relationship.

Juno in Libra: Their need for harmony transforms into a paralyzing indecision and fear of confrontation. Your faux soulmate might avoid important issues, letting problems fester until the relationship is riddled with unspoken resentments and passive-aggressive behavior.

Juno in Scorpio: Here, love borders on obsession. Your faux soulmate’s intensity can manifest as jealousy, manipulation, and a desire for control that can feel suffocating. The relationship might often feel more like a power struggle than a partnership, filled with secrets and silent battles.

Juno in Sagittarius: Restlessness to the extreme. Your faux soulmate’s love for freedom can mean a refusal to commit, leaving you in a perpetual state of uncertainty. Their bluntness can be hurtful, and their constant need for new experiences can make you feel like you’re never enough.

Juno in Capricorn: Cold and authoritarian, your faux soulmate might prioritize status and success over the relationship. Their emotional unavailability and relentless ambition can leave you feeling lonely and undervalued, as if you’re more of a trophy than a partner.

Juno in Aquarius: Your faux soulmate’s unconventional nature can mean emotional detachment and a refusal to engage in the traditional aspects of a relationship. Their rebellious streak might make you feel like you’re living with a constant revolutionary, where intimacy takes a backseat to ideals.

Juno in Pisces: Escape turns to neglect. Your faux soulmate might retreat into a fantasy world, leaving you to deal with the harsh realities of life alone. Their tendency to play the martyr can lead to a relationship where you’re always the villain, no matter how hard you try. Yikes!

What can we expect from 2024 dear!?? 😌

2024 has a lot going on; there are so many astrological transits happening that have a huge impact on all of us.

January 1, 2024: Mercury went direct after being in retrograde for several weeks. This means communication gets better, legal documents can be signed without issues, and anything related to speech is cleared up.

January 20 - September 1, 2024: Pluto enters Aquarius. This is going to be a wild ride. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was around the late 1700's, and during that time, the world underwent MASSIVE change. Both the American and French Revolutions occurred, coups happened with governments, royalty was dethroned, battles and wars were fought, the first wave of feminism began, etc. There's so much more than this. You should see the list. I'll include it here--start around 1777 and go through 1798. Pluto represents death, rebirth, and transformation, while Aquarius represents humanity and technology. When you pair these two, you're looking at major transformation socially, politically, economically, and technologically. There's a brief retrograde into Capricorn for one last time during our lifetime, and then Pluto will return to Aquarius for another 20 years. It's interesting to note that the rise and fall of empires throughout history is around 250 years. The cycle for Pluto is 245 years. Coincidence? I think not.

February 16, 2024: A stellium in Aquarius. A stellium occurs when three or more planets are in the same house/sign in an astrological chart. This Aquarius stellium will feature Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto. The last time this occurred was in February, 1962, and was commonly referred to as the "Age of Aquarius." This time period brought about major changes in the fields of technology, science, and aerospace. I'm afraid that during this time, though, there will be a strong focus on AI and its advancement. Pay attention to headlines regarding an upgrade in technology.

March 25, 2024: Lunar eclipse in Libra. Major historical events typically coincide with lunar eclipses, and since this one will be in Libra, I foresee society wishing for balance, harmony, peace, and justice. I believe this will be a time that humanity will call for us to take a deeper look at how we can end strife and get along with each other. Be ready for major calls for wars and upheaval to end (even though it's happening now, this will be on a much larger scale with this eclipse).

April 8, 2024: Solar eclipse in Aries. On the flip side of the lunar eclipse, we have the solar eclipse in Aries. This will be a time where we start anew and are ready to charge down a new path. Mars' energy represents war, destruction, violence, revenge, but also strength. This particular eclipse is warning us about war and destruction on a collective level because it'll be conjunct the North Node (the direction we're all going). I believe we're headed into a total collapse and rebirth when we add in the Pluto in Aquarius energy, but it's something that needs to happen for us to evolve as a civilization.

May 25, 2024: Jupiter in Gemini, which is actually in detriment. This means the energy is weaker in this sign for the planet. Expect changes in telecommunications (voice, data, and video) and social media, since Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication.

June 2, 2024: Neptune is anaretic. Anaretic means that a planet has entered the 29th degree, which holds a sense of finality because this planet has transited all 30 degrees (starting at 0). It's ready to move on and cut ties. What does this mean for Neptune? Well, the planet of illusions will lift its veil and a lot of what we've held onto in our beliefs will die out. Some people will still try to hold on (sunk-cost fallacy) because they're stubborn, but the majority of people will release, mourn, and deal with the fallout that's going to be super messy. Imagine the feeling of being betrayed by someone you love. That's what Neptune lifting it's veil is going to feel like for most. Again, collectively, we NEED this energy for healing and spiritual growth.

July 21, 2024: Full Moon in Capricorn. Most of the time, nothing major happens on full moons, but this one is interesting because it falls on an anaretic degree, just like Neptune. Capricorn represents structure, discipline, rigidity, and order (its ruler is Saturn), so we're going to see some upheaval in regards to these issues. The old way of doing things will no longer serve the same purpose. This is the equivalent of saying, "Out with the old, in with the new."

August 5, 2024 – August 28, 2024: Mercury Retrograde in Virgo and Leo. With Mercury rx in Virgo, this might be a time where you lose or misplace documents, feel irritated, have constant miscommunication, or face scrutiny from the general public. Remember to write down important deadlines and keep everything organized so you don't lose anything. With Mercury rx in Leo, I'm fully expecting some celebrity scandals during this time. Otherwise, it'll be a time of thinking about trying something new or wanting to get out and do something fun.

September 17, 2024: Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. This will happen in the 25th degree (an Aries degree), so anyone with heavy Pisces placements will have creative breakthroughs during this time. We'll see a rise in great music, art, poetry and literature, as well as film and visual arts. This time period might feel very dreamy and whimsical on the art scene.

October 2, 2024: Solar Eclipse in Libra. We had the lunar eclipse in Libra in March, so now, the solar eclipse will bring justice and balance. Anyone with Libra placements in early degrees will feel the need to purge what's not working. Even though most Librans are peaceful, this will be a time of upheaval. Expect people to help the oppressed even more (seeking justice) in a world that needs to be more fair and balanced (Libra energy).

November 19, 2024: Pluto goes direct in Aquarius for twenty years, until March 8, 2043. Buckle up! It's going to be a bumpy-but-necessary ride.

November 25, 2024 – December 15, 2024: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius. We all know what happens during Mercury rx, but what happens when it's in Sagittarius? Sagittarius represents higher education and learning, all things foreign and travel-related, religion, and spirituality. Expect religious or spiritual leaders, as well as educational leaders at universities, to have private documents leaked, misinformation stemming from foreign countries and media, as well as travel issues (delays, being rerouted, lots of crowds, etc.). This will not be a good time to travel.

December 6, 2024 – February 24, 2025: Mars Retrograde in Cancer and Leo. This is going to be...interesting. Mars hates being in Cancer; it's in detriment. Why? Cancer represents empathy and compassion, while Mars represents a more masculine energy that strives towards war, violence, and destruction. Cancer wants to provide a resolution to all of the conflict occurring, while Mars isn't having it. Expect masculine energies, especially men, to be more irritated and aggressive during this time. This duo can bring about discussion regarding balancing masculine and feminine energy, which we all have. Because Cancer is represented by the Moon, or the "mother" in astrology, expect some discussions about fertility and reproduction, birth rates (especially the low birth rates of some countries), marriage (or lack thereof), and any social dynamics with males and females. These discussions will carry over into 2025.

2024 is going to be a year that'll go down in history, that's for sure. One silver lining in all of this is that Venus does NOT retrograde this year, so we might see or hear about fewer breakups, and we might see or hear about more people entering into relationships and staying together.

April 8th Solar Eclipse: A time for healing & moving on

The first big event is upon us friends! I wanted to really break down what this solar eclipse can mean for us collectively. There’s so much fear lingering, misinformation and people just talking crazy about this.

First and foremost, eclipse happens every year so there’s no need to fear it but you should learn to respect its significance and spiritual backgrounds.

The reason this eclipse is getting widespread attention because subconsciously it’s calling us all to heal and step into a brand new chapter. This eclipse is conj Chiron exact and the NN(North Node). I’ll explain, keep reading.

Eclipse has always been symbolic for the endings and ushering a new beginning in your life. The etymology of the word eclipse means “fail to appear” and “to leave” things that no longer is good for us and is exiting out our lives whether we like it or not. Soul growth is at play here.

Solar(Sun) has always been related to leaders. now in our personal lives, it effects a certain part of our life. Depends on the house(area in life) the sign Aries is ruling for you.

Aries is the first zodiac sign, it’s the start of the spring season and always represents the start of new beginnings. Aries also rules over our actions, motivations. Aries rules over Men and masculine dom people. Aries rules the head, aggression, fighting. Leadership is also ruled by this sign.

The solar eclipse will be happening at the 19°(Libra degree)

Now we just had a Lunar Eclipse in Libra so this is just a continuation story.

19° is known as a karmic degree

Now the SN was conj this Lunar eclipse which means we started removing what no longer serves. This will be a theme for all of us for the next 4 years.

Now the Solar eclipse will conj the NN, so we’re in the phase of letting go while also starting new and trying to find ourselves.

Chiron will conj thiss eclipse exact. Chiron is known as the “wounded healer” but it’s also a teacher. We, as a collective is healing our wounds that we may have been holding on for a long time. Purge and release baby! Use this energy to purge and release so you can step into the new you and life!

Now whenever a planet enters a sign, we have to look a the signs planetary ruler to get a better glimpse of the energy.

Aries is ruled by Mars which is currently in Pisces. So this eclipse in a way is spiritual. Pisces is also the last zodiac and represents end of cycles, so this rotates back to Chiron and healing. A lot of subconscious things are being brought to the surface.

This is also a mental eclipse because Mercury is Rx in Aries. We are going to be communicating that hurt out loud. You may have moments of feeling triggered or what the tarot community calls a tower moment. Honey, I’m here to tell yall to let that tower fall and crumble because it’s time to start building that castle you hear me! 🗣️

We are healing mind, body and soul. Will it be easy? Nope! Will it be rewarding in the long run? You bet!

This solar eclipse energy will last for 2 years and including the lunar eclipse which is 4 years so a total of 6 years of this cycle of Aries/Libra storyline will wrote. Both eclipse heaviest energy last for 6month-year.

If you’re wondering how I calculated this, I did it based on how long each eclipse last. Solar is 2 hours and the lunar was 4 hours. Then I just added it together.

The only advice I would give anyone regarding this eclipse is to not look up at the eclipse without some type of solar sunglasses or you could mess up your eyesight. I personally don’t in believe looking at the sun at all during eclipse, but just soak in the energy, meditate, heal, write out your goals. I know some people are curious and there’s free will but I wouldn’t be a good astrologer if I didn’t tell you to please take eye precautions before yall do look up!

Also since this energy will be intense, headaches may happen so get some Tylenol or just a cold towel over your head!

No need to be scared, I know change is hella uncomfortable but it’s necessary! I’m wishing everyone the best with this energy!

[seafoamreadings]

week of april 7th, 2024

these are written predominantly for the *rising* signs but they are also intuitively "channeled" enough that they should work for any dominant energy you have! (try your sun if you don't know rising, or more advanced readers can try moon, anywhere you have a stellium, etc and see what works best for you!)

aries: the season of flux rages on. this week, though, features mars, your ruling planet, conjoining saturn. that can definitely feel like frustration or being restricted too much, but it's quite temporary and it's also really good for self-discipline/self-control if those things are needed or helpful. a meditation practice can be auspicious.

taurus: after the eclipse, a taurus moon does you a lot of good and jupiter and uranus continue to inch closer the the perfection of their conjunction in a couple of weeks. taureans aren't known to love change but admit it, you like a good surprise right? expect to be pleasantly delighted, even if some stuff goes a bit amok.

gemini: of course, the first order of business is the eclipse. but within a day or so, the effects start to calm down and you can focus on the antics of mercury, still retrograde, at the halfway point in that cycle meeting up with the sun. in some old forms of astrology this conjunction was quite feared but you are equipped with the knowledge that it makes you brilliantly powerful. sometimes it is scary to have knowledge! but it is also power, right?

cancerians: most people move on from the eclipse pretty quickly, in a day or so. not you, lunar one. you have it all week, maybe longer. the event, then the aftermath. but the moon then goes through taurus and your own sign, and those periods will be regenerative if you let them be.

leo: people often see solar golden you as the opposite of lunar silver cancer. it is not so. you are complements to each other. especially when it comes to lunar phases, which require both the sun and the moon to be involved! this eclipse, peaking tomorrow and fading through the week is no exception. do not expect yourself to be operating at full speed for some time! or, if you are operating at full speed, don't expect it to be simple or calm.

virgo: if you have a relationship you have perhaps tended to view in an overly romantic light, or a situation you have projected delusionally upon, saturn and mars will bring you back down to earth this week and they won't exactly be gentle about it. but before that you are still dealing with eclipse stuff and its aftermath. it's not the best time for you to be sharing. do hermit mode if you can.

libra: your day to day routines are a good place to be disciplined and structured this week, although not so rigidly that you break yourself. meanwhile your relationships will be much better off as flexible, even fluid, as possible. no expectations, not demands, just wait and see for a week or two.

scorpio: if you're doing eclipse season right you're very much just going with the flow, letting the chips fall where they may and trying to not freak out when you see where it all ends up, whether it's good or bad. meanwhile saturn being conjoined by mars in pisces can make you feel like you want something so bad you need it, but you're just being held back. consider it is divinity holding you back for your safety. you'll be let go of soon enough.

sagittarius: you may want to be anywhere but home right now. that's fine, all the aries energy suits you and going out and having fun. it is volatile from now through the end of the week, so still be careful, but do have fun! not everyone has the potential to thrive on chaos like you do.

capricorn: it's not that you don't feel the eclipse, you definitely do. but mars-saturn in pisces likely affects/interests you more. it is that hard work, work hard play hard, overcome any obstacle vibe. so scaling the eclipse that seems like everest to some is a cute little hike for you. take your time and enjoy the scenery.

aquarius: watch your budget. hopefully you have a budget... maybe this is a good time to make, revise, or reconsider yours. you don't have to be a miser, indeed generosity benefits you! but a little frugality really goes a long way at this time. if you can volunteer close to home it's a great idea to do so as well.

pisces: these eclipses certainly involve financial concerns and this week's later mars-saturn conjunction in your sign helps. this way you really know what's important, the worth and value of things, and of virtues like hard work, discipline, and labors of love.

The Shadow of the Eclipse

Sunday, September 8, 02:34 UT - Saturday, October 5, 18:49 UT, 2024

The shadow of the eclipse is a time period beginning ten days before the first eclipse of a series, and ending three days after the final eclipse. It’s recommended that people not start new projects or schedule important things during these shadows, as the eclipse energies -if they don’t outright doom the endeavor - can give the process some very dramatic twists and turns.

In Secrets from a Stargazer’s Notebook, astrologer Debbi Kempton-Smith explained:

Those old eclipses will stir you up, all right. All sorts of feelings leap out of you. And if you regard an eclipse as a period of instability where new attitudes come up into view, you’ll find they’re wonderful for getting rid of old muck inside you.

The trick is not to act more than necessary when an eclipse is operating. It may be necessary to act more than you would during normal times because of outside changes, but do not do more than you must. People are stirred up now.

For an eclipse to have a strong personal effect, it really has to be at the exact degree of a placement - and conjunct that placement - even then, it doesn’t always “do” much. They’re a little like the Lunar Nodes in such seemingly capricious effects - now they zap you, now they don’t.

A couple of things to keep in mind: first, the upcoming eclipse is on the lunar South Node, which strongly emphasizes “getting rid of old muck inside you.” There is a sense that the more problematic Libra behaviors (manipulation, peace-keeping when we should be fighting, etc.) need to stop. There’s also a sense that we’ve “hit max level” in the more positive Libra traits (diplomacy, aesthetics, etc.) and can make no more progress. If we need to learn and grow, we need to direct that to the Aries experience.

The second thing: solar eclipses run in what are called Saros Cycles. They repeat in cycles of 18 years, 10-12 days, 8 hours. They can be grouped into families, Saros Series. This upcoming solar eclipse, at 10°04’ Libra, is part of S.S. 8 South. (Remember, it’s on the lunar South Node.)

Astrologer Bernadette Brady, in The Eagle and the Lark, has an appendix devoted to brief delineations of each Saros Series. Some of them are beneficial, but others - like S.S. 8 South - are not:

Separation and loss. To be parted. To finish something, and to feel sad at its completion. Physical energy is also possible through over-straining one’s strength. This is not the time to undertake strenuous physical activities.

Ugh. Previous eclipses in this series (for those of us old enough to remember what happened!) were in

2006 (29°20’ Virgo)

1988 (18°40’ Virgo)

1970 (8°04’ Virgo)

This shadow involves some pretty icky stuff - maybe. You may not be personally affected at all, particularly if you don’t have a placement at 10°+ Libra. Be sensitive to and cautious about what’s happening around you, don’t overdo anything, and be ready to rid yourself of some useless baggage if the opportunity arises.

☀️🌛 Solar Eclipse in Libra, October 2023 Astrology horoscope for all Rising Signs 🌜☀️

[Ps. Personal reading are open. Here's the link to the how-to book one, and my Astrology Masterlist.]

—

Wherever South Node is transiting in your natal chart, you will experience a dramatic decrease in that area of life. Our human nature of dwelling on the negative side makes us unable to see what the North Node is offering in the place of that House's reduced appearance.

The solar eclipse on the 14th of October might enhance this anxiety of feeling like you aren't fulfilling the expectations of your Libra house.

Currently, South Node is in Libra, so depending on what house Libra sits in your chart, you will feel like roadblocks just keep on happening and as if the Universe is guiding you towards something completely different. More than often this can manifest as anxiety and feeling like something is wrong, having constant doubts about your own abilities in that area of life, etc. Bonus w/ South Node in Libra: Feeling like you aren't friendly or social enough.

The thing is, you can relax and instead focus on the thing that is gaining a large amount of momentum in your life, aka the House, North Node is transiting. North Node is in Aries right now and it gives you independent control over your life. This is the time to be individualistic and put yourself first, fiercely and fearlessly. Bonus w/ North Node in Aires: You will excel when you lead yourself with full belief that you absolutely deserve what you want.

Sagittarius Risings have been thinking if they are social enough right now, because they been spending a lot of time with their passion projects, almost shutting out the world. Oh yes girl, the social world doesn't matter right now, do your thang right now.

Aries Risings wondering if they are being mean or selfish, because they just have been in that self love space right now. Yesss, girl, you don't have to care about anyone. YOU, are the moment.

Leo Risings are fiercely pursuing their greater meaning of life, but are left wondering if it's okay that they aren't catching up and being updated on the latest gossip. Damn, girl, it's all good. You don't have to catch up with anyone other than yourself right now.

Virgo Risings are courageously declaring their authority and position to everybody else. They aren't going to let anybody walk over themselves anymore. As long as you are bold and upfront with people using your giving nature, you are gold baby!

Capricorn Risings are taking time out and getting more private than ever. Don't be afraid of not letting other people know about your business, and if you see your career taking a bit of break now. It's time to relax babes.

Taurus Risings are having major psychic realisations. They are ending major karmic cycles, healing and putting their instincts first. It's no issue if you feel a bit unproductive or behind doing certain tasks. Take it easy.

Pisces Risings are putting their boundaries up, bichh. Girl, don't be afraid to cut people off that absolutely don't contribute anything to your life. This is the time to rely on no one, but yourself. Help yourself and don't you dare feel guilty about it.

Cancer Risings are getting that bag and reaching those milestones. This is your time to shine in the world out there. Family matters and the concern for privacy might have kept you from your full potential, but not anymore. This is one of the most prominent times to be achieving your goals.

Scorpio Risings are getting real grounded and productive. It's an amazing time for them to work on their health, take a new workout routine and get all active. Trust your primal instincts and make sure you ground your energy first and foremost.

Gemini Risings are making those connections, being more social than before and build their networks. Don't worry if you happen to ignore some creative projects and private fun time due to being the social butterfly. It's your time to hope and plan for the future now!

Libra Risings are learning to manage their relationships better. It's that time to actually be that good partner, that good friend, that good listener. More than this, focus on building healthy relationships with healthy minded people.

Aquarius Risings are becoming more intellectual than they usually are. With all the knowledge they have been accumulating they are finally having mental breakthroughs. It's your time to build your own opinions and define the world on your own terms. Don't worry if you feel less of a lawful person. We all are allowed to be chaotic sometimes.

APRIL ASTROLOGY : Star Gurlz

Hey hey hey, we have made it to spring, the first quarter of the year. Through the death cycle of wisdom and reincarnation, are we the same? Yes, but a little different also.

For this month, I want us to enjoy the present and not really plan for the future. There is too much going on outside that is beyond our control, so please ignore those quarterly reviews of goals and such. Those goals may have been set during a time when you had limited knowledge of what you wanted, or perhaps they may not be achievable in a year, and you need to spread them out over 3 or 5 years.

Nevertheless, it's not a failure to have not achieved what you set out to do within a specific timeframe. Having a goal and dream is like cosmic mail, a message from the future, giving you breadcrumbs on your path to where you will eventually get to.

The full Moon eclipse has opened up energetic awareness and brought things to light that you needed to pay attention to. This month is asking you to not bury your head in the sand but to keep paying attention to what was revealed. I see a cavalry, a holy cavalry, arriving. The solutions won’t be created by you; they will be received by you.

Life goes on, baby girl!

For the Signs:

Aries: April showers bring May flowers. This month will be emotionally draining. Ease up on yourself and go with the theme and mood of each day. You don’t need to have it all figured out and together in order to move forward.

Taurus: Weather is rain, rain, and more rain. April, for the most part, is in the fire of Aries, which is too harsh for right now. The energy is trying to keep you awake as you have a propensity to fall back to sleep. The energy is still going to be harsh, and it's time to face the music with how you really feel.

Gemini: I, I, I will, I do, I am. April for you is warming you up for your season as the sun is moving from your 11th to embark on your 12th house transit. Whatever comes this month, you got this. Every hit, you counter punch. The more the hits come, the better you get at counter punching. Finally, you feel alive!

Cancer: April will be sweet for you, sweet and steady. The moon, your domain, is at its highest performance of a solar eclipse, and it will be business as usual for you. You don’t scare easily and take everything as it comes.

Leo: In April, you are a star, girl! I don’t know what this means; it just came to me. I see an idea coming together with friends or people you admire. The sun is moving through your 8th and 9th house, and it's about someone coming to you with an idea that will make you feel excited. Dust off that note book of dreams and Ideas, its is in there!

Virgo: April showers for you too. I am seeing some sadness in the romantic department, perhaps someone not meeting your high expectations. If not romance-related, I am also seeing something falling apart that you are trying to keep together. It's already fallen apart, and you have to let the pieces that are missing go. You didn't really need them.

Libra: April will bring you some much-needed relief and guidance from a good spirit. Someone has your back and is in your corner, fighting for you right now. This guidance is coming through as career-related; a promotion or career recognition is coming your way.

Scorpio: April will also be pretty sweet for you, like Cancer. There is peace around you while you wait for your illumination at the end of the month. The worst that could have happened has already happened, and it does not feel as devastating as you thought it would. Now, let's wait and see.

Sagittarius: April will feel confusing for you, with conflicting energies trying to influence you. You don’t know what to think or what to do. It will feel uncomfortable to sit in this confusing energy, so if you can’t ignore it, move your body! Get away from the stress around you.

Capricorn: April is looking like a good month for movement, physically. If you are getting ready to move house, then the one you pick is the one you should move to. Don’t wait; there is not something better. April will also be a joyous month for you and your family.

Aquarius: April will be fine for you. I can see that you are worried about a few things, but it's all going to be okay in the end. I sense a lot of worry coming through about various things going on in your world that has you losing sleep. I just want to let you know that everything is going to be okay.

Pisces: April showers fertilize the ground for the next sowing and future reaping. There is disappointment with things as they are showing right now, but it's for the better in the long run. I see that you are settling for less, what is practical and easy, and not what your heart truly desires. The tears are to break open your heart and reveal your truth to you.

[ashotasfireandasdeepastheocean1]

On October 17, 07:26 AM EST, a Super Full Moon at 24º34º of Aries takes place. This event invites us to tap into our inner strength and transform challenges into growth opportunities. Despite not being an Eclipse, this Full Moon is a powerful one: besides representing the peak of a lunar cycle that began two weeks ago with the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra, it also marks the culmination of a larger six-month cycle that started on April 8, 2024, with the New Moon Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. 

[...]

This event is especially relevant for the individuals born with natal planets or angles around the 24º of Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn). They will feel this Full Moon more strongly and are more likely to experience significant changes in their lives. As a chapter of their healing journey comes to completion, they have opportunities to reflect on the past months, acknowledge their growth, and free themselves from what doesn’t serve them.

10th House-Omphta, {Libra] A standing human figure with a crown holding a scales in the right hand and a measuring rod in the left.

Nut, a name with various spellings, was the Egyptian Sky-goddess and the ‘mother of all the gods”, which include Osiris, Horus, Isis, Set and Nephthys. Nut is often portrayed as a gigantic woman whose arched body containing the stars and constellations, forms the vault of heaven. Artwork contained on or in relationship to Nut’s immense curved body can be stars, globes, other gods, segments and hieroglyphics, as well as Re’s solar boat, which traverses it daily. Two Egyptian gods often seen with Nut are her mate Geb the earth god, and Shu, the air god who is usually located in between Geb and Nut.

Esoterically, Nut or Noot is a personification of what the ancient Egyptians called the Celestial Abyss, Divine Spirit or Akasa. Akasa or Akasha, is the Sanskrit name is the invisible super-subtle primordial substance that fills and pervades all space. Nut, or akasa, is mother source of all things and is That to which all things in manifestation eventually return. Akasa is to the ether as spirit is to dense matter.

Thoth-Hermes brought the tenants of astronomy and astrology to Egypt. Astronomically, he taught that the Earth was a sphere rotating on its axis while orbiting the Sun. Egyptian astrologers knew of the Precession of the Equinoxes and could predict eclipses by their cycles. Hermes was the instructor of the concept that the heavens could be portioned into twelve equal sections. Here the 360- degree zodiac is divided into twelve 30- degree arcs indicating the twelve astrological signs. All astrological signs can be divided into three 10-degree arcs called decans, each with their own planetary ruler.

culmination of the celestial bodies in relationship to the decans, is central to exoteric Egyptian astrology. The secrets of the ascendant and its ruler were particularly important to the esoteric astrology studied in the mystery schools of Thoth.

Various astrologers have proposed different placements of the twelve zodiacal signs within Nut’s star-filled body. Unlike modern astrology, the first House of the following Egyptian Zodiac begins at the Nadir rather than the eastern horizon, with the remaining eleven houses proceeding counterclockwise from that starting point.

1st House- Anubis, [Capricorn] A standing wand-bearing Anubis holding a kneeling tethered sea-goat. 2nd House- Canopas, [Aquarius] A female figure on a platform, with multiple breasts and appendages. 3rd House- Ichton, [Pisces] A mer-person holding a mason’s square in their right hand and looking at a miniature human figure in their left hand. 4th House- Amun, [Aries] A partially clothed standing male with double head-horns who is holding two staves, one in his raised right hand. 5th House- Apis, [Taurus] A bull, sometimes with stars over its left shoulder. 6th House- Helitomenon and Harpocrates, [Gemini] Sitting twins who are facing each other with horizontally extended hands and arms. 7th House- Hermanubis, [Cancer] A bird-headed human sitting on a throne with hands and arms extended horizontally. 8th House- Momphta, [Leo] A maned crouched lion. 9th House- Isis, [Virgo] A woman holding grain sheaves in both hands. 10th House-Omphta, {Libra] A standing human figure with a crown holding a scales in the right hand and a measuring rod in the left. 11th House- Typhon, [Scorpio] A twin-tailed human figure holding an energy bolt in each hand. 12th House- Nephte, [ Sagittarius] A centaur holding a bow and arrow. by Bruce Johnson — EGYPTIAN ZODIAC WITHIN THE BODY OF NUT

Pisces Portal Talon Abraxas Pisces Super Moon Lunar Eclipse September 2024

September 17th, 2024, brings both a Lunar Eclipse and a Super Moon, making it a rare and special Super Moon Lunar Eclipse! This will be a partial Eclipse, so we will still be able to see the Moon bright and strong in our night sky. Take a moment to look up at Mother Moon in all her strength – what message is she sharing with you?

Themes of the Pisces Super Moon Lunar Eclipse

Falling at 23 degrees of Pisces, this Lunar Eclipse holds the theme of breakthroughs and endings. As Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, we may see this mirrored in our experience of it. Something may come to an endpoint in our lives, or we may find that something is illuminated, allowing us to see things we didn’t see before. Alternatively, we may reach a point of wholeness, allowing us to recognize the full story or cycle of whatever we have been going through.

Lunar Eclipses tend to close doors that we have had difficulty closing ourselves. Sometimes, the endings they bring come as no surprise and simply give us a little push in a direction we were already hoping to travel. Other times however, they can bring swift endings that shake up our lives in an unseen way!

As this is a Partial Lunar Eclipse, and one of the weakest Eclipses we can experience, for most of us, the ending we experience may be one that we have seen coming for a while. Any breakthroughs are also likely to point us in the direction of closure, even if things feel uncomfortable at first.

It’s always worthwhile remembering that Eclipses tend to bring fated events and always put us where we need to be, even if we don’t like it at first!

As Pisces is ruled by water, we may be feeling extra emotional and sensitive at this time. Whatever unfolds under this September Eclipse may also result in a deep and long healing period, where we will have to be patient and allow things time to regenerate.

Pisces energy moves slowly as it works on the deepest fabrics of our being, so there is this sense that whatever unfolds will take time to process and digest.

Welcome to a New Eclipse Cycle

The position of the Lunar Nodes is what gives us our Eclipse cycle. Since 2023, the Lunar Nodes have been traveling in Aries and Libra, giving us Eclipses in these two signs. But this September Eclipse doesn’t fall in alignment with the Nodes, instead it falls in Pisces.

This happens when we are at a transitionary point. We are now wrapping up the Aries-Libra Eclipses and getting ready to enter the Virgo-Pisces Eclipse cycle.

While this Virgo-Pisces Eclipse cycle won’t really spring into action until next year, this is our first taste of what’s to come.

The last time we experienced the Virgo-Pisces Eclipse cycle was back in November 2015- May 2017, so you can think back to this time to see what themes may have been showing up for you. Remember, it’s not that the same things will happen again, but you can think of it as reaching a new evolution of whatever was going on for you at that time.

While this Eclipse is connected to the Eclipses we had back in March and April of this year, it is more of an introduction to what is ahead for the new Virgo-Pisces Eclipse cycle, which will run until February 2027.

The Virgo-Pisces Eclipses tend to stir matters relating to our health, wellbeing, and spirituality. We are guided to focus on the finer details and to get organized. It is also a highly creative Eclipse cycle that can stir new innovations, inspirations, and visions.

A Super Moon Eclipse is our Portal to the Divine

Super Moons happen when the Moon is nice and close to Earth, and we feel the lunar effects more strongly. Partial Lunar Eclipses are the weakest type of Eclipse we can have, but with the Super Moon in operation, we are getting a strong boost of lunar energy.

The Moon represents our feelings of safety and security, but under an Eclipse, we may feel exposed or vulnerable. Our sense of security and safety may be challenged in some way, or we may feel unsure of ourselves.

Working with the Pisces energy, we can come back to our intuition under this Eclipse. Our intuition, that soft, still voice within, is what we can rely on. That is where we will need to turn for our strength and reassurance.

Lean in to your spiritual connection, remember that you are connected to all and that there is a Divine plan at play.

Having a Super Moon and an Eclipse together is a rare and magical interplay of lunar energy to work with that can really allow us to feel her power! Full Moons, but especially Super Moons, have a way of drawing things out of us, so draw out your intuitive powers! Draw out all that you no longer wish to hold.

Following this Pisces Lunar Eclipse, we have a Libra Solar Eclipse on October 2nd. This Eclipse is the stronger of the two and will be the one we are likely to all feel a little more. Stay tuned for this Eclipse and what you can expect!

Note: All dates are in EST/EDT

2025 is a “9” Universal Year. [2+0+2+5=9] Nine is the number of completions and the ending of cycles. 9 is significant because all the other numbers, when added to 9, become themselves again. [1+9 = 10 = 1+0 = 1 and so forth]. This is the mystery of numerology; after 9, the cycle begins anew. Depending on where you fall in your life, you may experience 9 years as intense endings or new beginnings. They are one and the same, though we often cleave so strongly to one that we forget to recognize the other.

The yearly transits support this, as we see many major planetary transitions. This big deal of the year is the switchover of our lunar nodes in late January from the Aries-Libra axis to Pisces-Virgo and Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all changing signs. Because all five of our outermost planets changed signs recently (Pluto in late November), these planets will hold strong aspects to one another, starting during the summer and stretching through the rest of 2025.

This puts a lot of pressure on the cusps between signs. As our personal planets (Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) move across our skies, they will periodically meet these pressure points. Things will change fast all year long, and it will be our job to flow with these changes as well as we can.

Note: I've included major planetary aspects, lunar events, and planetary ingresses for the first time this year. This is meant to be a list of astrological events that are useful for magical purposes. Unusual or compelling events are bolded for emphasis. For example: our Sun, Mercury, and Venus move quickly through the signs, so their movement is not considered unusual but is always useful magically. Conversely, an eclipse or outer planet ingress are significant events that hold special significance. I only included conjuncts, oppositions, squares, and grand trines in this list. It is not a list of all astrological aspects for the year and should not be considered as such.

January

January is a “1” Universal Month. [1 (January) + 9 (2025) = 10 = 1+0 = 1]. 1 is the number of beginnings. Because January carries natural 1 energy, this is highly auspicious for setting intentions and finding a new path forward. It's worth remembering as we enter the new year that Mars is still retrograde, working its way backward through the fixed fire sign of Leo towards our cardinal water sign, Cancer. Sometimes, in order to go forward, you need to trace your steps backward to find a new path. We ARE moving forward, but it's motion in a year of endings. You might not be where you want to be, and it might be time to make peace with the path you are actually on (rather than the one you were told to walk or dreamed you would walk). It's much harder to step off a path you aren't acknowledging.

This month, we must pay attention to Mars and our lunar nodes. Retrograde Mars re-enters the sign of Cancer on 1/6, a significant trigger point for this entire Mars retrograde cycle. Our full moon at 24° Cancer on 1/13 will also be tightly conjunct to retrograde Mars. In a month concerned with putting in the work to realign, our Moon and Mars in Cancer will be emotional and uncooperative. You may need to take a few days off to simply experience your emotions over the vast changes happening around you. Cry it out if you need to.

And then, at the end of the month, our lunar nodes will switch to Pisces (North Node) and Virgo (South Node). The North Node is a compass point to where we all collectively need to work towards in the year ahead, emphasis on collectively as the North Node enters the mutable water sign of Pisces. As the last of the astrological signs, Pisces is the cosmic everything. Gone are the days of acknowledging our personal and often intense private inner lives (North Node in Aries); now we start to understand that we are - in fact - in this all together. It will only be working through it together that we'll all make it through. The North Node in Pisces reminds us to be more introspective AND empathetic of others.

Our Cancer Full Moon is a 5/6 Full Moon.

10 (Capricorn Sun) + 4 (Cancer Moon) = 14 = 1+4 =5. 5 (Capricorn Full Moon) + 1 (January 2025) = 6.

Our Aquarius New Moon is a 4/5 New Moon.

11 (Aquarius Moon) + 11 (Aquarius Sun) = 22 = 2+2 = 4. 4 (Aquarius New Moon) + 1 (January 2025) = 5.

Important January Ingresses, Retrogrades, and Transits:

1/2 - Venus enters Pisces 1/6 - retrograde Mars enters Cancer 1/8 - Mercury enters Capricorn 1/13 - Full moon 24° Cancer 1/15 - Sun in Capricorn opposed Mars in Cancer 1/18 - Venus conjunct Saturn 16° Pisces 1/19 - Sun enters Aquarius 1/21 - Sun conjunct Pluto 01° Aquarius 1/23 - Mercury in Capricorn opposed retrograde Mars in Cancer 1/27 - Mercury enters Aquarius 1/28 - Venus enters its pre-retrograde shadow 24° Pisces, the lunar nodes switch to Pisces/Virgo 1/29 - New moon 09° Aquarius, Mercury conjunct Pluto 01° Aquarius 1/30 - Uranus stations direct 23° Taurus

February

February is a “2” Universal Month [2 (February) + 9 (2025) = 11 = 1+1=2]. 2 months tend to involve choice and balance. We have taken the first steps necessary towards our new lives as the significant astrology continues to unfold (notable the switch of the lunar nodes at the end of January) - now we both find the first sense of stasis and stability in this new beginning and our face with our first choices of how to proceed further. Venus's meeting with the North Node early in the month will be an early glimpse into our new normal and Mars stations directly at the end of the month.

Our Leo Full Moon is a 7/9 Full Moon.

5 (Leo Moon) + 11 (Aquarius Sun) = 16 = 1+6 = 7. 7 (Leo full Moon) + 2 (February 2025) = 9.

Our Pisces New Moon is a 6/8 New Moon.

12 (Pisces Moon) + 12 (Pisces Sun) = 24 = 2+4 = 6. 6 (Pisces New Moon) + 2 (February 2025) = 8.

Important February Ingresses, Retrogrades, and Transits:

2/2 - Venus conjunct Neptune 27° Pisces 2/3 - Venus conjunct North Node 29° Pisces 2/4 - Venus enters Aries, Jupiter stations direct 11° Gemini 2/9 - Sun conjunct Mercury 10° Aquarius 2/11 - Sun in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus 2/12 - Full moon 24° Leo 2/14 - Mercury enters Pisces 2/18 - Sun enters Pisces 2/23 - Mars stations direct 17° Cancer 2/25 - Mercury conjunct Saturn 20° Pisces 2/27 - New moon 09° Pisces

March

March is a “3” Universal Month [3 (March) + 9 (2025) = 12 = 1+2=3]. Depending on the situation, 3 months tend to build on what happened in the 1 and 2 months before. Something is happening now, and it's gaining momentum. There are a lot of astrological happenings in March. We've entered eclipse season with mixed eclipses: a lunar eclipse on 3/14 in Virgo and a solar eclipse on 3/29 in Aries. Although the lunar nodes have moved to Pisces-Virgo, something about the Aries-Libra story isn't over yet. The month may take on a tinge of unfinished business.

This is in line with the astrological transits as both Mercury and Venus retrograde from the cardinal fire sign of Aries back into the mutable water sign of Pisces (mimicking the lunar Nodal movement, which is always backward). We may think we are ready for something new (Aries is sign #1), but we need to go back to the drawing board and think about it more (or perhaps even dream about it more - Pisces rules the unconscious). Both retrograde Mercury and Venus will crossover the conjunction between Neptune and the North Node thrice throughout their retrograde cycle, signaling a need to Dream Big as we move through these challenging aspects. Our eclipsed Virgo Full Moon is a 9/3 Full Moon.

6 (Virgo Moon) + 12 (Pisces Sun) = 18 = 1+8 = 9. 9 (Virgo Full Moon) + 3 (March 2025) = 12 = 1+2 = 3.

Our eclipsed Aries New Moon is a 2/5 New Moon. 1 (Aries Moon) + 1 (Aries Sun) = 2. 2 (Aries new moon) + 3 (March 2025) = 5.

Important March Ingresses, Retrogrades, and Lunar Events:

3/1 - Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow 26° Pisces, Venus retrogrades 10° Aries 3/2 - Sun in Pisces square Jupiter in Gemini, stellium: Mercury conjunct Neptune and the North Node 28° Pisces 3/3 - Mercury enters Aries 3/11 - Mercury conjunct retrograde Venus 08° Aries 3/12 - Sun conjunct Saturn 22° Pisces 3/14 - Total Lunar Eclipse 23° Virgo 3/15 - Mercury retrogrades 09° Aries 3/17 - Sun conjunct North Node 27° Pisces 3/19 - Sun conjunct Neptune 29° Pisces 3/20 - Sun enters Aries (Spring Equinox) 3/24 - Sun conjunct retrograde Mercury 04° Aries 3/27 - Retrograde Venus enters Pisces, retrograde Venus conjunct Neptune 29° Pisces 3/29 - partial solar eclipse 09° Aries, retrograde Mercury enters Pisces 3/30 - Neptune enters Aries

April

April is a “4” Universal Month. [4 (April) + 9 (2024) = 13 = 1+3 = 4]. 4 Months are when we start to create stability and try to put down roots. As we enter the month of March, Mercury and Venus will both be moving hand and hand in conjunction back through Pisces - over the North Node and Neptune - until they form a stellium with each other, Saturn, Neptune, and the North Node in and around 4/7 when Mercury stations direct one single degree from exact conjunction to Saturn.

What happens at the beginning of April matters, and we will be held fully accountable for it. Think big, but put down roots. This follows through to 4/12 and our Libra full moon, where Venus also stations direct at 24° Pisces which is still only one degree from Saturn. And then, on 4/14, Saturn conjuncts the North Node. This is a major stellium between Venus, Saturn, and the North Node; major work must be done here around who we are and how we each individually fit into the bigger picture. We're in the wake of the eclipses here as this is the first uneclipsed lunar event, and it shows.

The month is quite Saturnian overall as Venus conjuncts Saturn exactly for the third time in her retrograde cycle on 4/24.

Our Libra full moon is an 8/3 full moon.

7 (Libra moon) + 1 (Aries Sun) = 8. 8 (Libra Full Moon) + 4 (April 2025) = 12 = 1+2 =3.

Our Taurus new moon is a 4/8 new moon.

2 (Taurus moon) + 2 (Taurus Sun) = 4. 4 (Taurus new moon) + 4 (April 2025) = 8.

Important April ingresses, retrogrades, and lunar events:

4/2 - Retrograde Venus conjunct the North Node 26° Pisces 4/7 - Mercury stations direct 26° Pisces, retrograde Venus conjunct Saturn 25° Pisces 4/12 - Full moon 23° Libra, Venus stations direct 24° Pisces 4/14 - Saturn conjunct North Node 26° Pisces 4/16 - Mercury enters Aries 4/17 - Mercury conjunct Neptune 00° Aries 4/18 - Mars enters Leo, Neptune enters 4/19 - Sun enters Taurus 4/20 - Sun in Taurus square Mars in Leo (fixed t-square) 4/23 - Sun in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius (fixed t-square) 4/24 - Venus conjunct Saturn 25° Pisces 4/26 - Mercury exits its post-retrograde shadow 09° Aries, Mars in Leo opposed Pluto in Aquarius 4/27 - New moon 07° Taurus 4/30 - Venus enters Aries

May

May is a “5” Universal Month [5 (May) + 9 (2025) = 14 = 1+4=5]. Although 5 can be a bit of a conflict number as it disrupts the balance of the four, May looks quiet compared to the aftermath of the eclipse season or the summer months ahead. The only significant astrology here involves Saturn entering Aries on 5/24. In Aries, Saturn slows us down even more than usual as it dampens the fiery me-first energy of the sign of the ram. This isn't a time to get ahead; this is a time to buckle down and do what needs to be done right. As Saturn enters Aries, it joins up at 00° with Neptune for a conjunction of very strange bedmates. Saturn and Neptune are inherently incompatible - Saturn creates structure, and Neptune dissolves structure.

Our Scorpio Full Moon is an 8/5 Full Moon. 8 (Scorpio moon) + 2 (Taurus Sun) = 10 = 1+0 = 1. 1 (Scorpio full moon) + 4 (April 2025) =5.

Our Gemini New Moon is a 6/2 new moon.

3 (Gemini moon) + 3 (Gemini Sun) = 6. 6 (Gemini new moon) + 5 (May 2025) = 11 = 1+1 = 2.

Important May ingresses, retrogrades, and lunar events:

5/2 - Mars exits its post retrograde shadow 06° Leo, Venus conjunct Neptune 01° Aries 5/4 - Pluto retrogrades 03° Aquarius 5/10 - Mercury enters Taurus 5/12 - Full moon 22° Scorpio 5/16 - Venus exits its post-retrograde shadow 10° Aries 5/20 - Sun enters Gemini 5/22 - Venus in Aries trine Mars in Leo 5/24 - Saturn enters Aries, Mercury conjunct Uranus 27° Taurus 5/25 - Mercury enters Gemini 5/26 - New moon 06° Gemini 5/30 - Sun conjunct Mercury 09° Gemini

June

June is a “6” Universal Month [6 (June) + 9 (2025) = 15 = 1+5=6]. We're still in the respite of the year, in the in-between, but the planets are starting to set into place for the bigger story that will unfold for the rest of the year. As Jupiter enters the sign of Cancer, it forms an immediate square with Saturn and Neptune, who are both conjunct to one another at 00° Aries. Jupiter and Saturn square off exactly on 6/15, the big astrological day of the month. These two planets are in many ways incompatible with one another as one creates space (Jupiter) and the other constricts (Saturn). If you feel stuck in a vice during June, know that you are right on time. Every personal planet will square this odd conjunction with Saturn and Neptune as they pass through the beginning of Cancer and then meet up for a much more auspicious conjunction with Jupiter sometime later. Hard work before profit is the name of the game all month long.

Our Sagittarius Full Moon is a 3/9 Full Moon. 9 (Sagittarius moon) + 3 (Gemini Sun) = 12 = 1+2 = 3. 3 (Sagittarius full moon) + 6 (June 2025) = 9.

Our Cancer New Moon is an 8/5 new moon.

4 (Cancer Moon) + 4 (Cancer Sun) = 8. 8 (Cancer new moon) + 6 (June 2025) = 14 = 1+4=5.

Important June ingresses, retrogrades, and lunar events:

6/5 - Mercury in Gemini square the lunar nodes 6/6 - Venus enters Taurus 6/8 - Mercury conjunct Jupiter 29° Gemini, Mercury enters Cancer 6/9 - Jupiter enters Cancer, Venus in Taurus square retrograde Pluto in Aquarius 6/10 - Mercury in Cancer square Neptune in Aries 6/11 - Full Moon 20° Sagittarius 6/13 - Sun in Gemini square the lunar nodes 6/15 - Jupiter in Cancer square Saturn in Aries, Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus 6/17 - Mars enters Virgo 6/19 - Jupiter in Cancer square Neptune in Aries 6/20 - Sun enters Cancer (Summer Solstice) 6/22 - Sun in Cancer square Saturn in Aries, Sun square Neptune in Aries 6/24 - Sun conjunct Jupiter 03° Cancer 6/25 - New moon 04° Cancer 6/26 - Mercury enters Leo 6/29 - Mercury in Leo opposed retrograde Pluto in Aquarius 6/30 - Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow 04° Leo

July

July is a “7” Universal Month [7 (July) + 9 (2025) = 16 = 1+6=7]. The month deals mostly with outer planet movement and adjustments. Uranus enters Gemini on 7/7, where it immediately trines Pluto in Aquarius and sextiles that uncomfortable conjunction between Saturn and Neptune in Aries. From here until the end of the year, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will hold these aspects with one another - coming closer to exactitude and moving away from each other as they take turns retrograding and moving in forward motion. When our entire outer planetary brigade changes, everything in our life changes, too. This will happen slowly, though - both Uranus and Neptune will move back into Taurus and Pisces, respectively, before they fully adjust to their new homes.

Our Capricorn full moon is a 5/3 full moon.

10 (Capricorn Moon) + 4 (Cancer Sun) = 14 = 1+4 = 5. 5 (Capricorn full moon) + 7 (July 2025) = 12 = 1+2 + 3.

Our Leo new moon is a 1/8 new moon,

5 (Leo moon) + 5 (Leo Sun) = 10 = 1+0 = 1. 1 (Leo new moon) + 7 (July 2025) = 8.

Important July ingresses, retrogrades, and lunar events:

7/4 - Venus conjunct Uranus 29° Taurus, Venus enters Gemini, Neptune retrogrades 02° Aries 7/7 - Uranus enters Gemini 7/10 - Full moon 18° Capricorn 7/13 - Saturn retrogrades 01° Aries 7/18 - Mercury retrogrades 15° Leo 7/22 - Sun enters Leo, Mars conjunct South Node 20° Virgo 7/23 - Venus in Gemini square Mars in Virgo, Venus square lunar nodes 7/24 - New moon 02° Leo 7/25 - Sun in Leo opposed retrograde Pluto in Aquarius 7/30 - Venus enters Cancer 7/31 - Sun conjunct retrograde Mercury 09° Leo

August

August is an “8” Month [8 (August) + 9 (2025) = 17 = 1+7 = 8]. Eight is the number of the ouroboros; 8 months are almost always a roller coaster of ups and downs, good and bad. Here, we start to see the effect of our outer planets sitting so close together (by degree). As both Venus and Mars change signs in August, they interact with multiples of our outer planets simultaneously. Venus in Cancer squares both Saturn and Neptune. Mars in Libra trines both Uranus and Pluto and then opposes Saturn and Neptune. There's big work going on behind the scenes (in society ruled by those heavy hitter outer planets), but it's starting to trickle into our personal lives, too. Mercury also retrogrades this month, which is a path forward if you are willing to let it be.

Our Aquarius full moon is a 1/9 full moon.

11 (Aquarius Moon) + 8 (Leo Sun) = 19 = 1+9 = 10 = 1+0 =1. 1 (Aquarius full Moon) + 8 (August 2025) = 9.

Our Virgo New Moon is a 3/2 full moon.

6 (Virgo Moon) + 6 (Virgo Sun) = 12 = 1+2 = 3. 3 (Virgo new moon) + 8 (August 2025) = 11 = 1+1 = 2.

Important August ingresses, retrogrades, and lunar events: 8/1 - Venus in Cancer square Saturn in Aries, Venus in Cancer square Neptune in Aries 8/6 - Mars enters Libra 8/8 - Mars in Libra trine Uranus in Gemini (air grand trine) 8/9 - Full moon 17° Aquarius, Mars in Libra opposed retrograde Saturn in Aries, Mars in Libra opposed retrograde Neptune in Aries 8/10 - Mars in Libra trine retrograde Pluto in Aquarius (air grand trine) 8/11 - Mercury stations direct 04° Leo 8/13 - Venus conjunct Jupiter 14° Cancer 8/22 - Sun enters Virgo 8/23 - New moon 00° Virgo 8/24 - Sun in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini 8/25 - Venus enters Leo, Mercury exists its post-retrograde shadow 15° Leo 8/27 - Venus in Leo opposed retrograde Pluto in Aquarius

September

September is a “9” Universal Month [9 (September) + 9 (2025) = 18 = 1+8 = 9]. It is a "9" month in a "9" year, which makes it highly auspicious. It is also eclipse season, with a total lunar eclipse in Pisces and a supercharged solar eclipse that is also an astrological blue moon in Virgo. This is where the work gets done with a double new moon emphasis on the sign of work, Virgo, in August AND September. Note that our personal planets will square off with Uranus in Gemini as they enter Virgo and create an airy grand trine with Uranus and Pluto as they enter Virgo. We must work to integrate the new normal into our daily lives, but the planets ARE supporting us here.

Because we are in eclipse season, our personal planets will all cross over the South Node of past-facing fate: this is the cosmic right time to give up what was in favor of what is. Be pragmatic here (one of Virgo's most valuable traits). It's worth noting the progression with which our personal planets encounter the South Node this year: first Mars on 7/22, then the Sun and Mercury on 9/10 and 9/11 in conjunction with one another, and finally Venus on 10/3. We may be holding on to emotions about the past during September, but we will likely see a big release as we move into October.

Our Eclipsed Pisces Full Moon is a 9/9 full moon.

12 (Pisces Moon) + 6 (Virgo Sun) = 18 = 1+8 = 9. 9 (Pisces Full Moon) + 9 (September 2025) = 18 = 1+8 = 9.

Our Eclipsed Virgo New Moon is a 3/3 new moon.

6 (Virgo Moon) + 6 (Virgo Sun) = 12 = 1+2 = 3. 3 (Virgo New Moon) + 9 (Septmber 2025) = 12 = 1+2 =3.

Important September ingresses, retrogrades, and lunar events:

9/1 -Retrograde Saturn enters Pisces 9/2 - Mercury enters Virgo 9/3 - Mercury in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini 9/4 - Mars in Libra square Jupiter in Cancer 9/6 - Uranus retrogrades 01° Gemini 9/7 - total lunar eclipse 15° Pisces 9/10 - Sun conjunct South Node 18° Virgo 9/11 - Mercury conjunct South Node 18° Virgo 8/13 - Sun conjunct Mercury 20° Virgo 8/17 - Mercury in Virgo opposed retrograde Saturn in Pisces 9/18 - Mercury enters Libra 9/19 - Air grand trine: Mercury in Libra trine to retrograde Uranus in Gemini and retrograde Pluto in Capricorn, Venus enters Virgo 9/20 - Venus in Virgo square retrograde Uranus in Gemini 9/21 - partial solar eclipse 29° Virgo (astrological blue moon), Sun in Virgo opposed retrograde Saturn in Pisces 9/22 - Sun enters Libra (Autumnal Equinox), Mars enters Scorpio 9/23 - Sun in Libra trine retrograde Uranus in Gemini (air grand trine) 9/24 - Mars in Scorpio square retrograde Pluto in Aquarius, Sun in Libra trine retrograde Pluto in Aquarius (air grand trine)

October

October is a “1” Universal Month [10 (October) + 9 (2025) = 19 = 1+9 =10 = 1+0 =1]. As we enter October, our outer planets have started to pull away from exactitude with one another but still are making close aspects. Jupiter and Saturn are now in a near exact trine with one another, and our Sun and Mercury, moving through Scorpio, complete the trine in the skies. This is a "1" month - our second of 2025 - and we need to pick up the pieces of what has ended and start anew. Eclipse season has brought its revelations, and now we need to sift through the rubble and see what we can salvage.

Our Aries full moon is an 8/9 full moon.

1 (Aries Moon) + 7 (Libra Sun) = 8. 8 (Aries full moon) + 1 (October 2025) = 9.

November

November is a “2” Universal Month [11 (November) + 9 (2025) - 20 = 2+0 = 2]. This is our second "2" month of 2025, and it's a second chance to balance out and make the needed choices in our lives. As is often the case, we are being heavily guided through these changes by a Mercury retrograde, which will create a grand water trine with Jupiter and Saturn thrice but also conjunct our Sun, Venus, and Mars during its retrograde cycle. Most often, the biggest hindrances to change lie in our own minds, and this retrograde cycle may force us to rethink how we approach some of the problems in our lives. This looks to be an eye-opening month, so long as you stay open to where the retrograde will bring you.

Our Full Moon in Taurus is a 1/3 full moon.

2 (Taurus moon) + 8 (Scorpio Sun) = 10 = 1+0 = 1. 1 (Taurus Full Moon) + 2 (November 2025) = 3.

December

December is a “3” Universal Month [ 12 (December) + 9 (2025) = 21 = 2-1=3]. The last month of 2025 will be one of reflection and action. All of our personal planets have met up with one another and are moving together through the horoscope: Mars is a bit ahead of the pack and moving into Capricorn. In contrast, The Sun, Mercury, and Venus are closely packed together in Sagittarius for most of the month. Each of these personal planets will square the lunar nodes, returning to the lessons these early eclipses on the Pisces-Virgo axis have brought to our attention. 2025 was a year of change and endings. How have we faired? What have we learned? How can we adapt to the now and make space for good things to come in the years ahead?

Our Gemini full moon is a 3/6 full moon.

3 (Gemini moon) + 9 (Sagittarius Sun) = 12 = 1+2 = 3. 3 (Gemini full moon) plus 3 (December 2025) = 6.

Our Sagittarius new moon is a 9/3 new moon.

9 (Sagittarius moon) + 9 (Sagittarius Sun) = 18 = 1+8 = 9. 9 (Sagittarius new moon) + 3 (December 2025) = 12 = 1+2 =3.
