January 10, 2020 Powerhouse Lunar Eclipse

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 20 Cancer with the Sun conjunct Mercury, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn is supercharged. You can be sure that there will be tension especially between the polarities of life, personal versus professional life, for example. Strong emotions are often felt during the Lunar Eclipse and this one especially due to the conjunctions between the austere Saturn and often painfully transformative Pluto. You may experience sadness or turmoil due to these strong influences. Thank goodness positive aspects to the Sun, Moon and Mercury from Neptune brings some relief to the situation.

Sun conjunct Mercury makes for serious communication, especially regarding Capricorn topics such as control, government, foundations and responsibility. Because the malefics Sun, Saturn and Pluto are all lined up together, this communication can be harsh, authoritarian and cold. The Moon, opposite these strong characters in emotional Cancer, stands alone and is vulnerable to attack. However, the Moon rules Cancer and is comfortable there. This is an opportunity to find safety. In mundane astrology, the Moon represents the people, society, the community. Human rights may be in danger during this time. But the positive aspects of spiritual Neptune bring compassion to the scenario.

Annular Solar Eclipse – Happy Surprises! December 25, 2019 at 8:29 PM CST

This is a fortunate Annular Solar Eclipse at 4 degrees Capricorn, when the Sun and Moon come together – a very powerful time for formulating your goals for 2020 and beyond and leaving behind those things that no longer support your growth.

This is an especially optimistic eclipse because it includes a conjunction to lucky and expansive, truth seeking Jupiter. Jupiter brings blessings and the trine to Uranus brings the sudden and unexpected. Look for happy and surprising good luck as well as epiphanies and positive changes

This eclipse is only visible from the Eastern Hemisphere, from Saudi Arabia, India, Indonesia and other locations in this part of the world. However, the effects are felt worldwide and will last about six months bringing opportunities for growth, personal freedom, spiritual awareness and new and unusual experiences.

Truth continues to be Told

Jupiter emphasizes truth and freedom. In Capricorn, this relates to truth regarding the foundational institutions of the world and freedom from tyranny of all sorts. With Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto all in Capricorn, this is a serious time for these old underpinnings of our existence. With Pluto (transformation) conjunct Saturn (lessons and responsibility), look for more painful revelations in the institutional areas of our lives including government, business, religion and media.

Jupiter, the great benefic, brings spiritual insight and awakening as it connected to the powerful Galactic Center on November 18. Jupiter stays connected to this power point until the end of November, launching a period of personal growth for everyone on the planet. Look for increased understanding and expansion of your spiritual knowledge.

This is a very strong time for ushering more love into the world as Venus joins the Galactic Center on November 23. The Sun follows on December 19 making this a personal experience, and Mercury joins the Galactic Center on December 27, changing how we think. Finally, Mars will be there on February 13, 2020, adding powerful energy to the mix.

This will be a time of great awakening for many and if you have a planet within 5 degrees of this point, you will feel this more intensely.

Full Moon December 11, 2019 – Personal Crisis?

We are heading toward the Full Moon on December 11 at 11:12 PM CST at 19 Gemini. The Moon is directly opposite the Sun in Sagittarius making this a social and mental Full Moon, encouraging us to talk things out, gather information, communicate and look at everything from multiple angles. With Jupiter in Capricorn the emphasis is on responsibility and practicality.

With the triple conjunction of Saturn, Venus and Pluto in Capricorn, we may be facing a crisis in relationships, values or finances at this time. The Full Moon brings tension between our personal and work lives. We may feel overwhelmed and directionless due to the Moon and Sun square Neptune.

Capricorn asks: What really matters? What needs to be corrected or discarded in your life? Look to Capricorn in your natal chart to see how this Full Moon shines a light on your personal responsibilities and priorities.

Jupiter, Galactic Center and the Critical 29th Degree of Sagittarius

Jupiter is now at the intensely concentrated 29^th degree of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter which brings expansion wherever it goes. Sagittarius is loud, the entertainer, the lawyer, loves foreign travel, accumulating higher knowledge and embarking on zealous spiritual quests. Now at this intense 29^th degree, you may be feeling the power of Sagittarius, depending on where this lands in your chart.

Jupiter has been conjunct the Galactic Center (the center of the Milky Way Galaxy) at 27 Sagittarius since November 19^th, ushering in higher cosmic knowledge to us individually and to the world.

See where the Galactic Center resides in your natal chart at 27 Sagittarius to gain an understanding of how the current and upcoming important aspects will bring opportunities to you. The Sun, Mercury and Mars will all join the Galactic Center during the month of December.

Look back to 2006-2009 to get a sense of what began in your life as a result of the Pluto conjunction to the Galactic Center, then consider November 2017 when Saturn was at this important point to understand how this energy may be cycling in your life.

Full Moon Nov 12, 2019 – Finding Safety and Cleaning Up

How did you sleep?

Yesterday, November 12, 2019 we had a Full Moon at 19^◦ Taurus opposite Mercury Retrograde, which had just transited the Sun on portentous 11/11/19! Not much sleep for me I have to say, but this impacted my natal chart exactly, so there is that.

The Full Moon, which is about completion, in Taurus urges us to find a safe haven, to focus on our home, family and close relationships while giving us the determination and persistence to get whatever needs doing done.

What secrets have been revealed?

Just two weeks ago, on October 27, the New Moon in Scorpio, began working with Uranus to exhume hidden secrets and bring them to the light of day. This has been glaringly obvious on the world stage and may have also been true for you personally as well.

Scorpio transforms people and situations by bringing up, sometimes painfully, all the hidden secrets and debris from the past, especially issues around sex, death and big power. Uranus is unpredictable and can shake things up in very unexpected ways.

Blessings and Energy for Transformation

The Full Moon brings us the workhorse Taurus energy to address how we can best take care of the debris that is left; what should we keep and what should we discard? There are several aspects going on with this Full Moon that bring added challenges and blessings. Although there may be communication challenges, our intuitive abilities and spiritual connections should be heightened for the near future. We are also given powerful energy for personal transformation and special blessings for success.

Mighty Mercury – What is your Soul’s Message?

Learning

Mercury, which rules the mind and communication of all kinds, is in the middle of a three step journey to help us understand and gain mastery over our lives. This began on September 7 with the Sun conjunct Mercury in Virgo, launching the learning and releasing process. From September to November, you may gather knowledge so you can tune in to what your Soul is calling you to do. In January, this will all come together and you will have the power to initiate new endeavors.

Reviewing and Releasing

Mercury is currently retrograde in Scorpio (October 31 – November 20). This is the time to review, reconsider and reconnect with your past experiences and choices. Scorpio provides the cleansing power to dredge up and release deep seated issues, karma and pain associated with relationships, the power of others and with the past.

Transmuting

On November 11 Mercury will be conjunct the Sun in Scorpio. This will give you the power to see clearly what you have not seen before. You will be able to release and transmute what has been holding you back from mastering your life purpose.

Mercury transits the Sun only 13 to 14 times in a century creating an eclipse like energetic impact. Mercury passes directly in front of the Sun on November 11, the first transit since 2016. The Mercury Sun conjunctions in September, November and finally on January 11, give tremendous energy to this introspective and soul searching time.

Initiating New Endeavors

Look back to 2007 to see what was happening in your life at that time. You may feel as though your plans and ideas were thwarted. It is possible a similar cycle is occurring now and you will be able to recognize and move past a recurring theme so that you are able to express yourself more fully and authentically.

Shake-ups? Order from Chaos?

The New Moon on Sunday, October 27^th portends shocking and unexpected shake-ups. It will be in Scorpio directly opposing Uranus.

Scorpio transforms people and situations by bringing up, sometimes painfully, all the hidden secrets and debris from the past, especially issues around sex, death and big power. Uranus is highly erratic and unpredictable and can shake things up in very unexpected ways. With Uranus in Taurus (earth), we could have some literal earth shaking events.

Expect chaotic and crazy behavior throughout society, from top leaders to family members and friends. Be aware of the tendency for aggressive response. This New Moon may intensify rebellions around the world. Unexpected and shocking news, changes and events may occur.

Look for ways to stay centered and peaceful. Take time for prayer and meditation. Maintain your balance and others will be positively affected. Remember that chaos happens right before we achieve a breakthrough, an epiphany and clarity.

The New Moon signals the end of one 28-day cycle and begins a new one. It occurs when the Sun is conjunct the Moon, energizing and invigorating the new start. The effects last about 4 weeks.

Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio from October 31 to November 20, so be prepared to reflect on what this heavy duty October has taught you. This is a strong intuitive time and you can use this slower reflective energy to meditate on the greater mysteries.

October 2019 – It’s Intense!

Are you feeling the intensity in the air? Do people seem out of control and irrational? Are tempers flaring and has patience gone out the window?

You can blame Pluto and Scorpio which are involved in the sometimes painful transformation we are all experiencing. On a positive note, Scorpio brings focus and the ability to work relentlessly to achieve a goal. Something you can take advantage of this month. However, be aware that Scorpio can also be obsessive and treacherous.

Pluto is about big power. It rules the powerful often hidden puppet masters of the world. It also rules, among many other things, sexuality, transformation, investigation, television, radioactivity, regeneration, treason, terrorism and revolution.

This month, Mars in Libra squares the Nodes of the Moon (October 21, 2019), making this a time when we might feel more aggressive and explosive. Libra emphasizes justice and legal activities. Expect to continue to hear revelations of hidden criminality as this transformative energy unfolds.

Let go of fear, remember that Pluto brings necessary change to clear the way for positive new growth.

A Call for Compassion

The world’s North Node in Cancer is calling humanity to be more loving and compassionate, to nurture rather than control and to operate from the heart. The South Node in Capricorn reminds us we must take responsibility for our actions and operate from a solid foundation.

We are now leaving the old controlling and domineering ways of the past behind. This is a global call to all who live on this earth, to evolve into a more heart centered way of being.

Talk about Intense – Full Moon on October 13, 2019!

The Moon is almost full as I write this on October 10, 2019 and it is beautiful in the night sky. It will be officially full this coming Sunday, October 13 at 20^◦ Aries and brings with it an array of challenging aspects.

The fiery Get it Started strength of Aries makes this a good time to set and act on your intentions. However, there are challenging aspects to consider.

The Sun in legal and fair-minded Libra squares Pluto (the great revealer) in Capricorn (control, integrity, politics), brings turmoil. Hidden and possible criminal information can become known at this time. Pluto brings destruction, purging and release in order to pave the way for new and positive transformation. Pluto rules big power and the struggles between the people and governments.

Full Moon square Pluto can bring up emotional power struggles, compulsive behavior, fears and violence. Venus in Scorpio is opposite Uranus in Taurus, shaking things up and bringing emphasis to Pluto’s actions and what we value.

Jupiter square Neptune causes us to be easily misled, either by others or by our own delusional thinking. Challenging squares to Saturn can result in delays and emphasizes taking care of responsibilities.

All is not lost as positive aspects to beneficial Jupiter soften the impact of this tumultuous energy.

At the Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are in exact opposition, exactly 180^◦ apart. This brings matters ruled by the Moon to the forefront while creating tension between those governed by both of these great lights. Matters ruled by the Sun (power, work, ego, action) are in tension to those ruled by the Moon (nurturing, home, intuition, emotion).

The effect of a Full Moon lasts about two weeks and intuition and emotions are high. This particular Full Moon brings opportunities to heal relationships.
