Week of March 8th - 14th 2021​


Monday / 8th

Monday we wake up with the Moon in determined Capricorn - it first makes an opportunistic connection with the Sun and Neptune in Pisces. But we double down on the rules and boundaries we have set for ourselves as the Moon conjoins Pluto later in the afternoon. This should feel like RESOLVE. Overall Monday could have a bit of a swing to it as we see the magical possibilities in the first part of the day and then become aware of the truth of the matter in the evening. Check in with yourself - are you letting your desire to escape reality mask the very real responsibilities of life in any way? Is there any situations in your life that seem too good to be true? Consult your intuition and communicate your goals and boundaries clearly today.


Tuesday / 9th

The Moon moves into Aquarius overnight and we wake up with a supportive trine to Warrior Mars in Gemini - if you have been needing a spark to move towards any goal, this is that spark. The Moon in Aquarius can have an emotionally detached but intellectual flair for thinking outside the box - so coupled with the trickster energy, we would do well to listen and learn from our surroundings during the morning. As minutes turn into hours, the Moon applies to a challenging Square aspect with shifty Uranus and a also a synergistic conjunction to responsible Saturn. This Moon transit will ignite the Saturn - Uranus square that has been and will be active all year. So, early afternoon into the evening has the propensity to bring in some emotional upheaval especially if we are feeling held back in any area or limited by Saturn. The tension between the desire for freedom and the desire to consciously and responsibly build towards our goals has both an oppressive and fevered quality. We are graciously granted a healing and supportive sextile between the Moon and Chiron in Aries that is helping us stand in our truth and autonomy. Remember, you have a right to be your unique self - focus on whatever is in alignment with that unique purpose.


Wednesday / 10th

The Moon is still in Aquarius and as we awake on Wednesday morning it joins up with the expansive and abundant energy of Jupiter. This typically means big emotions but because the Moon is in its balsamic waning phase, we may have big emotions but they may be more privately big. To add to the quiet and ethereal quality, the Sun meets up with diffusive and dreamy Neptune. This day may indeed seem like a dream and that is the best thing you can do with this specific type of energy: DREAM. And dream big! Let your imagination run - what goals will you be setting for this New Moon? Today is a good idea to brainstorm the possibilities as the Moon moves towards a conjunction with Mercury late that evening.


Thursday / 11th

The dreamy quality gets heavier today as the Moon moves into Pisces. If there ever was a time to make decisions - now is NOT that time. It IS however the time for Observation and Allowing. Why do I say this? The Moon is Void-of-Course most of the day, meaning it makes no aspects to any other planets which translates to not being able to accomplish much. The other reason is that Pisces as the overarching theme can be confusing and illusory. Overall it is best to lay low, connect with your spiritual, emotional, and mystic side. The first aspect the Moon makes is early evening and it is a challenging Square to Mars in Gemini. This could cause anxiety as we have the motivation and need to do something but we are lacking in the focus to do so. Take it easy on yourself!


Friday / 12th through Sunday /14th

Friday completely holds the mystical tone of the previous day. The Moon makes a challenging square to the Nodes early in the morning and this can have us questioning the path we are on. Pay attention to the stories you tell yourself during this time. If we can observe them for what they are we can allow the old narratives to just fade away into the Piscean mist. Late in the evening will feel magical as the Moon conjoins Venus. Again, don’t make any important decisions during this time. Escapism can be a major theme so be aware that you need to ground and check on the people around you. Many times this specific energy can invite one to over-indulge in all manner of things - keep it moderate!
The weekend is intensely mystical and dreamy with a New Moon in Pisces kicking it off Saturday Morning (5 am CST). The intentions you set on this day are some of the most potent this year because of the beneficial and magical presence of Venus and Neptune. This is not a New Moon to ignore, and if at all possible set intentions before 5 pm on Saturday when the Moon leaves the mist of Pisces. Sunday is for healing as the Moon has moved into Aries. It makes an opportunistic sextile to motivated Mars and also meets up with the wounded healer Chiron early in the morning. Making decisions that are best for our healing is the theme Sunday. It is helpful because we can be intellectually and emotionally aware of the best places to put our energy for the week ahead.

Monday / 1st
We begin this week with the Moon, our emotional nature, in the harmony loving sign of Libra. That by itself can be nice and creative but we have the added bonus of a positive and supportive trine to the trickster Mercury and the Abundant King Jupiter, who are maintaining the birds eye view in Aquarius. This is brief but very auspicious as it can give us a feeling of expansion and hope.

Tuesday / 2nd
When we wake up Tuesday Morning, we may have a brief but intense and deep emotional dive into truth as the Moon makes a tense square to the Powerful and Probing Pluto. At the same time, Mars, which governs our will and ego, will have moved to the Anaretic degree. This is the 29th degree and it holds in it every lesson we have learned with Mars in the steady and sensuous sign of Taurus. If you have been low energy lately this would be a possible culprit and it will reach its heights while at this specific spot. So while we may feel like we are trudging through Mud, it is worth noting that Mars will break free from the sign based square it has had with the Task Master and Rule Maker - Saturn. We are almost there, and sometimes the last few steps seem to be the most challenging. To add to the intensity, The Moon moves to the Deep Emotional Waters of Scorpio later in the afternoon and we see how a few different areas of our life seem to be pulling on one another. How much am I worth (Uranus in Taurus), how much am I willing to share (Moon in Scorpio), and what are my goals for the future(Aquarius)?

Wednesday / 3rd
The Scorpio Moon is quite affected by several different transits in the wee hours of Wednesday morning and so we might wake up with the feeling that this is the most humpday of all humpdays. The Moon first makes a beautiful trine with Venus in Pisces as the receptive planet of love makes an opportunistic sextile to Uranus. Together, this should spark an intuitive awareness about a situation that you have been wanting to shift. The Moon then squares Saturn which forces us to look at the actual reality of the situation and what we can do about it within our own limits and structures. The Moon trines the Sun after Noon and Neptune late in the evening which together gives us an overall feeling of harmony between our emotional nature and our purpose. These shifts are only pushing you towards your destiny. The work with the Moon in Scorpio overall is deep and watch for the desire to Escape. If you feel like “getting out of reality”, use Creative Expression and Self-Care as that Magical Outlet. Smudge the house, chant, meditate, watch a documentary, take a nap! Fill your own cup.

Thursday / 4th
When you wake up, you might feel like a new person, because Mars will be in Gemini! YAY! Mars, the planet of action takes on a much busier, buzzier, frenetic energy in the communicative and thinking sign of Gemini. Its ok if you don’t feel a spark right off the bat though as the first part of the day the Moon is still in the deep waters of Scorpio. Perhaps during the first half of the day we are finishing the process of investigation and boy do we use what we have discovered as the Moon moves into Sagittarius and Opposes Mars in Gemini around dinner-time. Mercury also happens to be almost exactly conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius during this transit to the propensity to say things we don’t mean or speak a truth that someone else may not be ready or willing to hear is HIGH. I only tell you this so that you can make an informed decision during this transit and think before you speak. Depending on where you are at, it may be something that truly needs to be said - or something that truly needs to be kept to yourself.

Friday / 5th through Sunday / 7th
​The Moon in optimistic and expansive Sagittarius comes into a tense Mutable Grand Cross mid-morning Friday with the Nodes in Gemini/Sag and Venus, the Sun, and Neptune in the ethereal diffusive sign of Pisces, and the keeper of the fire, Vesta in the focused and service oriented sign of Virgo. This is also the 3rd Quarter Square of the Moon and is the last adjustment of the Moon phase. I see this day as a re-imagining of our narrative. After the shift of Mars into Gemini we may feel spun around and disoriented so do not expect to see things extremely clearly on this day. So imagine those roots running deep and know that no matter how confusing reality seems at this time, that something is building in it. Some transmutation, some necessary dissolution. The thing about times like these is, the best thing we can do is surrender and let that metamorphosis occur. This tone is held through most of the weekend with the Moon in Sag and the Sun remaining square the nodes. Sunday will feel the most grounded with the Moon moving into Capricorn late Saturday night. Sunday morning we might awake with our feet on more solid ground and an increased ability to organize ourselves for the week ahead.

New Moon in Capricorn - Jan 11 2021

Tonight at 11 pm CST the Moon visits the Sun and they begin their journey to the top of the Mountain in Capricorn. This New Moon is inviting us all to take back our power as it joins the God of the Underworld, Pluto.

Most of our work throughout 2020 was spent tearing down old structures that no longer serve us in our lives, which has cleared the way for this new phase to begin. In essence, we have removed everything down to the foundations and now is the time to decide what and how we would like to build anew. However, we are being asked to once more look at what holds power over us. Would only build the structures that we believe match our worth. So what have you allowed to hold power over your self worth? It is time to take it back! You cannot get to the summit if you don’t believe you have the power to make the climb.
This work will include deciding what and who holds value to us which may require drawing stronger boundaries or perhaps deciding our walls might be too high. What should stay and what should go and what work will it take to make that happen? Take time to set intentions tonight for how you want to build the future and to once and for all take power back from anything that has snuck it away from you. It will be especially powerful if you symbolically bring the earth element into your ritual or intention… an example being drawing or writing in the dirt - or burying something that is a symbol of something you’ve given to much of your power.The message to spirit will be clear, you are going to take the opportunity to leave the unnecessary weight before beginning your trek to the top.

Below are the areas this may be manifesting in your own life by rising/sun sign:

• Aries Rising or Sun

You career trajectory, public reputation, authority has been the area in which you’ve undergone the greatest reset last year, so now you have a clean slate in this area and the time is ripe to take back your power from anything you’ve allowed to hold you back. Now is the time to raise your prices and do not allow what others think to affect what you believe you are worth. Pay attention to who gets your money, time, and energy.

• Taurus Rising or Sun

You have had your beliefs and overall life direction challenged on a deep level this last year, so the time is right to zero in and commit to climbing the mountain of truth and take your power back from any school of thought or teacher that has perhaps wielded too much power. The best belief to have for the year ahead is the belief you have in YOURSELF. You are your own guru. When you are being your authentic self is when you will make the biggest strides this year.

• Gemini Rising or Sun

You have had to tear the walls to your own psyche down this year and so your deepest work has been in deciding what your boundaries are. This specific New Moon is a chance to build those walls up in just the right way. Not to high, not to low. You are experiencing a shift in values around the idea of spirituality. When you explore the spiritual side of yourself - the world will open up to you and you may find you feel more free to pursue goals that are aligned with your personal truth and beliefs.

• Cancer Rising or Sun

You have done a lot of work on power dynamics in relationships over the last year and this New Moon is the best opportunity to decide how you would like to take your power back once and for all so you can build anew. Whatever changes have been made will have you changing your values around your future goals and friend groups. Make sure the people in your life cherish, love and support you. Do not sell yourself short when setting goals for the future. When you embody your worth, you will attract more abundance perhaps in the form of business partners or lucrative contracts.

• Leo Rising or Sun

You have had to do a lot of work over the last year in the areas of health, routines, and work and now you are being asked to take your power back from bad habits and unhappy workspaces so that you can build the life you dream of! You may feel as if you are ready to step up and be publicly recognized for what you do so if you have felt underappreciated or perhaps unfulfilled in your career now is the time to set intentions around how you can shift into something better suited to your goals. Be aware, when you truly start to come into alignment with your purpose, relationships will come under scrutiny and show themselves as supportive of your life changes, or not. You are worthy of happiness in both areas.

• Virgo Rising or Sun

Over the last year you have redefined yourself in the area of creativity, courage, and what you deem is your heart’s joy. Now is the time to silence the inner critic that tries to hem in your creative power and ability to be happy. This may take some reevaluating what beliefs and truths you hold that can be re-written or done away with all together. This is a time for new horizons and exploration. It would help to plan time in your daily life to be creative and to expand your mind with topics like philosophy and spirituality. There is always more to learn and new adventures around the corner if you give yourself time to explore.

• Libra Rising or Sun

The work that was put before you last year was that of emotional security, home, and family. The things that previously made you feel at home, comforted and safe could have been taken away or broken down and now you are taking the power back to see that you are the source of all things. When considering intentions for this New Moon, keep in mind that your emotional security comes from inside and family is who you choose family to be. Your values around how you share yourself and your inner world are undergoing a shift which means you may have to get clear and firm on boundary issues. When you take back your power, new goals for creative ventures or children begin to become clear.

• Scorpio Rising or Sun

You have done an astronomical amount of work over the last year in the way you think, communicate, and organize your life. Now you are being asked to take back power from thought processes that don’t serve you, such as circular or obsessive thinking. You are now being asked to view your relationships in a new light and what your values are regarding who you consider a partner - do they reflect your worth? Aim for a partner that worthy of you. Realize that the people you choose to share your life with directly affect your integrity, emotional security and home life.

• Sagittarius Rising or Sun

Your work was cut out for you with regards to finances and resources last year and this new moon is the opportunity to step into new power in terms of your self worth. How much you value yourself is directly related to your habits and daily life - when you nourish yourself, move your body & clear your mind on a daily basis, it reflects in how you feel about yourself. If you can commit to a daily practice that supports your body and mind you will be able to think differently about life. If you put in the work to love yourself, your way of thinking shifts in a way that makes lofty goals easily attainable.

• Capricorn Rising or Sun

You are no longer the person you used to be. This year had you completely breaking down what you considered your identity in order the be free to build a new one. But have you left one piece of your power in someone, or something, else’s hands? This New Moon asks you to take it back. You are shifting your values in regards to creativity and your inner child. Is something missing in your life? It is likely to do with creativity or the desires of your inner child. Now is a good time to place meaning on things that feel creative to you. Being human, after all, means being a creator! When you decide to let your heart lead, a new sense of financial freedom and self worth comes into your life.

• Aquarius Rising or Sun

Have you felt a vague sense of confusion about exactly what is changing in your life? That is because the area you’ve had to re-work the most has been in the subconscious arena. Your work has been a little like downloading a new version of your personal programming and this New Moon is the beginning of the install. You are now shifting your values when it comes to having greater emotional freedom and security. When you commit to honoring your own needs, you will show up in a new unabashedly authentic way.

• Pisces Rising or Sun

You have had a huge reset when it comes to exactly what your goals are and what groups you belong to. This New Moon asks you to stand up and be counted and recognized. To help you along the way, your shift needs to be one that puts greater emphasis on just how valuable your way of thinking is. Trust yourself and the decisions you make. When you commit to trusting in your thought processes, you will barely have to lift a finger to get to your goals - spirit will lift you up and lead you to the right place and time to make your dreams come true.

Full Moon (Penumbral Lunar Eclipse) in Gemini 8º


Everything in Astrology has an equal yet opposite and because of that Astrology can be one of the best languages to speak about the concept of Duality.  We reflect on Duality in a very literal way every single month when we gaze upon the Full Moon, which could not reflect any light without the Sun being exactly opposite.  This specific Full Moon is special as it is a Penumbral (or partial) Lunar Eclipse.  This is caused when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun as to blot out the light.  The archetypal association is one of Reset and in Gemini this reset occurs in the mind.


The Gemini and Sagittarius Axis in the Zodiac is that of Communication, Thought, Truth, Belief and Knowing. In Gemini we like to take in information, consider it, and throw it right back out again to be refined or tested.  It is constantly changing and morphing just as the Trickster wishes.  This eclipse season will focus heavily on Weltanschauung which is a cognitive philosophy first introduced by Kant referring to World View of a people, family, or person. Over the last decade the world has seen the rise of misinformation spurred on by the invention and adoption of Social Media as a main form of communication and information dissemination.  This misinformation fog has rolled in at an alarming rate during the last year, especially in America during the Covid Pandemic and Presidential Election.  It is entirely possible for anyone to put an idea out into the world and claim it as truth, and then for it to be widely spread within days or even hours.  The problem comes when we resist information that is accompanied by supporting evidence and opt for comforting information that supports our own World View.  We have, as a culture, been driven into echo chambers full of the beliefs that comfort us the most even if they are not based in reality.


This Penumbral Eclipse in Gemini brings with it a chance for us search for the objective truth and let go of any self serving beliefs.  The Sabian Symbol for the degree of the Full Moon is


“A Quiver Full of Arrows” and is associated with the Keyword “Conquest”.
I found this so apropos as the ruler of Gemini, Mercury, finds itself in the Mars ruled sign of Scorpio.  These two Archetypes can work well together.  Mars takes action towards a specific goal and Mercury can provide the scope of what the goal is.  This Eclipse can therefore bring up an interesting situation: when ones world view is challenged the initial reaction and natural result is conflict and this is exactly what we are seeing in the current collective events.  Perhaps we are being asked to pierce through to the truth by being given this quiver full of arrows?  Here is your chance to take a long look at the things coming out of the mouths or via the keyboards of the people you listen to, follow, and believe.  We are given the opportunity to clear out the lies, to see through the fiction, and to let go of the power those clever tongues have on us. It doesn’t take much to dupe an entire group of people, so don’t be lazy. Hard work and an innovative mind are required during these technological advancements to vet all the information you take in.  Harness this time to kill the lies we tell ourselves that only hold us back!  If we can work on defragging our metaphorical hard drive - we will have much more space for new beliefs that have the potential to open us up to a beautiful future with broader horizons.  Allow Mars to work with Mercury to burn away the dead underbrush of our mind.  What will be left is the Alchemical Salt - the base matter - the truth.

​Aries Rising or Sun


You will be getting rid of old information surrounding the way you share yourself and your resources with others.  If you have previously had a hard time speaking up about your boundaries this Full Moon is a chance to let go of the lies that have kept you from doing so.  Do not be afraid to be authentically you.  The goal here is quit taking in information that keeps you in a place of disempowerment. This could mean telling a sibling or a neighbor to keep their opinions to themselves. Be intentional about the social media communities you are involved with.


Taurus Rising or Sun


This Full Moon has you clearing out old information regarding your value and self worth. You may have to dive deep to see what false information you are taking in that keeps you in a place of low self worth or poverty mindset.  If you have a Business partner or a Lover that doesn’t support you or tears you down, this would be a good time to draw a line in the sand.  Do not believe the lies that keep you from having the abundant life you deserve.  Put an end any emotional blackmail that has you giving more than you get. When you clear out the falsehoods around self worth, you can open up to deeper connection with others and the deeper parts of yourself.


Gemini Rising or Sun


This Full Moon is a chance for you to stop taking in any misinformation around your health or everyday life - including what you do for work everyday.  You can take back the power over your habits but you may have to be open your mind to the fact that you are your biggest obstacle to growth.  You can’t let life live YOU.  YOU have to choose to live your life. This means making the decisions to do what you need to do to make every day an empowered one. If this is what you want this means you have to look at the lies you may be telling yourself or taking in from others about what is good for you and what is not.  If you don’t acknowledge your bad habits or that your job is making you unhappy or unhealthy, then you cannot open up to the belief that you can take the necessary steps to make it better.


Cancer Rising or Sun


This is a chance to stop telling yourself that nothing you say, think, or do matters.  You may be dealing with information that you received as a child or something that wounded your inner child that is hard for you to let go of.  But luckily, this is the ultimate reset to your background programming.  Get in touch with the kid inside why it is afraid of what others think.  What did it hear that made it quit believing in its creative self?  Kill the inner critic and open up to a world of possibilities!  In case no one told you, you have a deeply powerful creative spirit that is worthy of being shared with the world, Any information that is in opposition to that is a lie.  You are allowed to have fun and express yourself and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.


Leo Rising or Sun


This is the time to stop taking in false information that is keeping you from feeling safe and keeping you in emotional disempowerment.  It doesn’t matter what your family thinks or says, you are your best source of comfort. It might do you some good to open up and talk about what you feel with others in order to clear out some of this junk data that has been instilled in you from cultural or familial roots.  Your deep inner world is worthy of being tended to.  This will allow you to feel more confident and connected to your friend groups and community and open you up to a future that is more fun and adventurous than the one that was based on what others told you about yourself.


Virgo Rising or Sun


This full moon is a chance to let go of a cyclical and worrisome thought process that can keep you from your greatest success.  When you are focused on something you can become quite obsessive and therefore think you know what is best because you have done all of the data processing that needs to be done.  The key opportunity here is to allow yourself to open up to the possibility that the missing data is the data that can only come from other individuals. If you can manage open up to outside opinions and guidance you may see that was the missing piece all along.  Opening up your mind means a greater chance at success in the outer world.


Libra Rising or Sun


This eclipse is inviting you to do away with old ways of thinking around money, values, and resources and how that connects to what you believe about reality in general.  If you have always felt like money has power over you in some way this is the perfect opportunity to do away with that notion.  The relationship between what is yours and what you share with others is undergoing a reset and it will lead to a clearing out of beliefs that will open you up to new horizons and opportunities for adventure.


Scorpio rising or sun


This eclipse is all about you honey.  Have you been hearing the whispers that you will be always have to work hard to get others to love you? Well that is a lie. This identity crisis ends with this eclipse but it does require you to listen to what others are saying.  How do you appear to others? That is an important piece of the puzzle and one that needs consideration. If you can quit listening to the misinformation that you must always try hard to win others over, then you can truly open up to the abundance you deserve.  Just be yourself and your ultimate ideal teammate will gravitate towards you.


Sagittarius Rising or Sun


This Full moon is a spiritual reset for you!  It requires you to quiet the voice inside that continually feeds your fears back to you.  Your fears are filled with misinformation.  You may have always felt more in control when you were able to escape reality in some way.  Decide to let go of the belief that past pain and loss means you cannot have the future that you desire. When you deal with the false beliefs that feed your fear, obstacles will be removed in your relationships to romantic and business partnerships.


Capricorn Rising or Sun


Its time for you to dive deep into any false information surrounding friend groups, social networks, and the future.  Your world view is being challenged in terms of who you want to surround yourself with and this year has been an exploration in who you are in the world.  You could be dealing with old beliefs that you had to be a certain way in order to fit in.  The power lies in being able to change your daily habits, career, or a health routine.  Better choices in everyday life equals better loftier goals and a more supportive and healthy network.


Aquarius Rising or Sun


Have you long held the belief that you have to be cutthroat to make it in this world or that you must have some sort of status and authority to be considered a powerful person? Well during this eclipse you can allow yourself to shed this false belief!  When we allow ourselves to release control and surrender to who we are at our core then we can open up to greater capacity for creativity and joy.  You don’t have to try so hard Aquarius - allow your inner child to forget all the things driven into you by cultural conditioning regarding social status and control.


Pisces Rising or Sun


This eclipse is an opportunity to clear out the false information that has you feeling alienated from the world around you. You may have always felt like the only control you have in life is through believing differently than your family or the culture you originate from and that you must strike out to a different land or country to find yourself but you can allow yourself to open up to new ideas surrounding your family and roots. You can open up to the possibility that you do belong just as you are and you don’t have to run away to find a home that you fit into.  Explore and listen to your roots during this time and allow yourself to learn from them. It will set you up for greater success in the future.

On the morning of November 21st the light-bearer Venus moves into the dark and intense sign of Scorpio.  The quality of this transit is sure to be quite different from Venus’ foray in Libra over the last month.  Venus is the transmitter of love, values, and relationship and it likes to be in a place that is balanced, fair, and soft - but that is not the nature of the land of Scorpio which is ruled by the passionate and at times, controlling, Mars.  So on one hand, we can expect for our relationships to go deeper and perhaps even be enlivened by deeply passionate feelings but on the other hand things could tip towards jealousy and power plays here.  The way we share resources (including our own bodies) is put at center stage in our lives. 

The moment the light-bearer moves into Scorpio it will be peering across to see that someone else is occupying it’s own home -  the revolutionary Uranus in Taurus.  Imagine watching from afar as someone walks in and tears down walls in your home.  Would you want to rebuild it in the same way or would you be questioning if you even want to return to that place that was once so comfortable?  These are the questions of Venus opposite Uranus - and it is sure to shake up the typically fixed foundations that Venus has always relied on forcing it to re-evaluate where it even wants to go from here.  This opposition is exact on Nov 27th, however we will be under the influence of this shaky transit from the 24th through 30th which is characterized by an upheaval concerning the very bedrock that we base our values on. This can create a new and unexpected awareness of fundamental changes to our reality which force us back into ourselves to determine what we truly want in our lives. This may sound scary but the best part of this transit is the ability to harness the power of change! 

To continue with the home metaphor - you could have the realization that you didn’t like where the walls in the home were placed anyway and you are just now realizing you didn’t even like living in that part of town!   So stay open and invite in the shift because ultimately it will support the new future that we are all entering into!   The key is to take a good hard look at what we consider true desires and worthy causes.   I think risk assessment factors into this transit pretty heavily with Mars being in Aries.  Think in terms of your future self. 

In addition to Venus changing signs the Sun also moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius which brings up equally deep and probing questions like what do we believe and what do we consider our truth? There is a sense of adventure and optimism with the Sun in this sign but as we begin to build in the constructs of a new reality we must let go of the old.  Life is different and so is the matrix that we are operating in.  The week ends with the build up to a full moon penumbral eclipse in Gemini and it is a perfect time to clear out the old information so that we can invite in new ideas!  Keep in mind this week that we will be shedding outdated ways of being - in terms of ideas, beliefs, values, and the way we relate to others.

It should be noted that on Thanksgiving the Moon joins Mars in fiery Aries.  Arguments and triggers may be a situation that we encounter but at the same time the wounded healer Chiron trines the Sun in Sagittarius - if we try to keep an open mind while also standing in our own authentic truth, great healing can be achieved.

Its time to work it.  This new moon is asking for everyday effort to make your goals come true.  Who you are in terms of career and public reputation has been completely redefined this year and now you are being called to put it into action. This means taking care of your health and introducing rituals or new habits into what you do everyday, whether at work or at home.  If you are feeling the urge to get out there to show of your new skills, debut your new business, or just to show off how much you have changed lately, its a good idea to first consider the work that needs to be done to do it the right way.  Not the perfect way, just the way that aligns most with your goals and how you want to be seen.  This is the concept of ability through repetition.  Mindfulness and intention in everything you do during this time will be extremely powerful.  If you have a desire - infuse that into the very mundane and boring things you do all day.  For instance, focus on the fact that you love yourself so much every time you take a drink of water.  This new moon, set your intentions on a kick ass everyday mindset.


Taurus Rising or Sun:

Now is the time to allow yourself to have a little fun.  This new moon calls your your inner creative fire to be focused on.  As you have been restructuring your whole philosophy on what life actually is and what you believe to be true, you may have unintentionally been harsh or neglectful to your inner child.  At some point, we cannot take in any more information or learn any more, we must stop and smell the roses and express this process creatively. Its best to actively work on relieving the pressure before it finds an uncomfortable way out. This is your pass to try to let go and live a little during this new cycle. What do you find enjoyable? What do you consider fun? Its ok to give the little kid in you a day at the park and an ice cream cone.  As an adult, that concept may be a little different but the point is to have some fun, and if you aren’t sure what that is then maybe you are trying to hard. Try just getting a coloring book and watching your favorite cartoon.


Gemini Rising or Sun:

Home, family, and emotional security are the themes for you this new moon.  I get the feeling that sometimes you just can’t quit thinking about the 8 billion things going on in the world right now and that will take a hefty emotional toll.  You have been restructuring your boundaries and stepping into your power this year.  The way this restructuring started could have felt a little like being smashed by a wrecking ball.  It requires an enormous amount of emotional processing to be accept and be happy about the fact you are building something new and better!  Set intentions to let go of any guilt, self judgment, or doubt.  This can even show up in the body during times like this so if you are having any *body* health issues, check in on your *emotional* health.  You are building a stronger emotional foundation based on the massive transformation you have gone through. This new moon, set intentions to acknowledge and feel your own emotions, and also to discern whether the emotions are yours or you are doing the emotional work for someone else.  Its important to draw strong boundaries now and you do not have the time for anyone else’s emotional labor and in fact, you deserve to have all of your emotional needs met to the highest degree.  It would also be a great time to make small changes to your home that help you feel more emotionally supported.


Cancer Rising or Sun:

You can’t keep pretending you didn’t hear or see the thing that you heard and saw.  Likewise, people will not hear you if you do not speak your truth. This New Moon asks you to put pen to paper and go tell it on the mountain.  The rules and boundaries you have surrounding relationships, romantic and platonic, have been under a major restructuring and transformation this year.  Its possible you are finding stronger support there or the need to shed what is not working.  The fact is, the rules you set for yourself have to be your own, and you cannot be ruled by others.  And that is why this new moon is a great time to set the intention to really speak your truth to those most important to you.  In order to have our relationship be highly functioning we must actually communicate what that looks like for us to our partners.  This goes for career and home life as well.  Set intentions to find a way to convey your ideas and thoughts in a clear manner to those closest to you. If you can do this easily, then when it comes time to communicate your thoughts to the rest of the world, it will be effortless.


Leo Rising or Sun:

Is 6 in one half a dozen in the other?  Perhaps its time to take a look at how many eggs you have in your basket!  You’ve been going through a restructuring and transformation of your daily work life, who you work with, your health, and even your habits.  When we are scrambling to maintain sanity and keep our heads above water everyday it is hard to remember that we have inherited the earth.  This new moon invites you to stop lowering your standards and start charging higher prices both in reality and metaphorically. This means don’t let the wrong things waste your time.  Be exacting and discerning on who and what you give your time too.  You are being supported in the ability to truly believe in yourself during this cycle but it requires you to be an active participant in doing so! This is a good time to pick a mantra to say everyday or write self affirming notes to yourself.  If it is possible to cause our own stagnation, it is just as possible to be an agent of our own success.




Virgo Rising or Sun:

Whoooo are youuuuu?  This new moon, consider that question and ask yourself if you are happy with the answer you come up with. Do you need to put more effort into showing up authentically in your relationships without fear of judgment?  This new cycle is all about the self and how it looks in the metaphorical mirror of the other.  You can make great strides on any goals to be more independent and courageous this fall, but a new self must start with a symbolic gesture.  Fear of loss or lack of fun can be making you feel overall very grim.  The answer is detachment. Meditation. Accepting that you are here now, just as you are. There is nothing of perfection in this world, and you are supposed to be where you find yourself. Set an intention to self improve with love from this beautiful imperfection of now.


Libra Rising or Sun:

Do you every sit in silence, pause, meditate or contemplate?  This New Moon is calling you to spend time in the spirit realm.  Its akin to allowing yourself to download the newest version of your own programing.  If your emotional security has been challenged or your home life has been rough, the best tool you can use to steady the shaking is to have is a spiritual practice at this new moon. Do not hold onto any guilt that is not yours to bear. Anxiety is your worst enemy and effort is required to defeat the foe.  If relationships have been challenging its best to shift the focus back onto yourself. Commune with your dreams, ancestors, spiritual guides, and whatever you consider God and ask for their assistance in redefining and fortifying your emotional boundaries to support the future that you truly want.


Scorpio Rising or Sun:

You could be heavily reconsidering your goals and the people around you during this New Moon.  The perfect future that you had envisioned last year may not have come to fruition which can be absolutely depressing. Daily life can feel like a struggle and It could seem like fun is almost non existent.  If the mental gymnastics are never ending right now, that is because you are being challenged to redefine the way you communicate and think.  This shift into a new way of thinking about the world, will require reassess what you want for your future and to either and what networks and friend groups you want to be a part of. Set the intention to be at peace with letting go of the old path and find a new one that is more suited to the new terrain.


Sagittarius Rising or Sun

It is time for you to consider how you are here to improve this world.  No pressure huh?  But the interesting thing is that you’ve been undergoing a process of building your self worth and perhaps even your financial standing and you have the ability now to really bring that confident self into the outer world.  You can achieve all that you desire, its just a matter of actually showing up without fear of judgement and doubt.  We will never be free from the judgements of others but we can be free of the value we ascribe to those judgements.  In a very real sense, setting a goal for career or anything in public will be a great way to start this cycle and could also prove very lucrative.  Put in the practice and the effort and you will receive the reward.  Do not strive for perfection, but for Mastery.


Capricorn Rising or Sun

This New Moon is an opportunity to be educated and open up to new truths.  We can be so focused on being right that we do ourselves a disservice.  The things that make up your entire identity have been completely redone this year and you may find yourself not knowing what to believe anymore.  Most of everything that we held onto as an identifying trait has been taken away or changed in reality forcing us to tweak what our truth is, but that require a letting go.  We must allow the old things to pass away and open up to the new reality of the world and what adventures that might bring!  Do not stubbornly hold onto something that isn’t working because, well, it won’t work anymore.  Humility is is necessary for survival. We cannot invent fire if we do not admit we are cold!  Part of this new moon requires your to surrender to the spiritual concept that there is something greater than yourself and decide how you want to proceed with that knowing.


Aquarius Rising or Sun:

This new cycle is all about redefining your boundaries and personal power.  It is a good time to entertain the concept that our own personal truth may be completely divergent from another person’s,  and that is ok!  A lack of control may have been ultra anxiety inducing for you in the past but as your subconscious has been under a re-programming this year, you have begun to learn to trust the process and surrender to the chaos.  We must be aware of the places we have asked others to bend to our will as a mechanism of our shadow and likewise, we need to be aware of the times we allow ourselves to be controlled or abused. Both situations are the result of low self worth and a lack of emotional security. This can also manifest as not letting others get to know the real you as a way of controlling the outcome. You may want to consider letting people in for a change and sharing the deepest, and even darkest, parts of yourself. It will be extremely beneficial to set these New Moon intentions to grow and ground strongly and to redefine your boundaries in such a way that it reflects how much do value yourself.  Go deep and consider how hidden desires may be expressed in a healthy way.


Pisces Rising or Sun:

This new cycle concerns the relationships in your life and whether they will fit into new goals and networks you have made for yourself in this new reality. Redrawing the blueprints of your future requires a focused and discerning look at your partnerships and friendships. Consider first IF they can be improved and then HOW that can be implemented. A partnership can be romantic and fun, but at a certain point, the practical nature of aligning entire life with another human has to be considered.  That is why during this new cycle it will be beneficial for you to intend on dusting and polishing the commitments that you’ve made both to romantic and friendly partners.  Its also very important to be honest with yourself if there is a relationship in your life that is too rusted to function properly any longer.  It might be a typical behavior for you to continue on with something because its easier or it keeps the peace, but the future doesn’t allow for that.  You need people in your life that are intent insuring mutual success.  If you don’t have a relationship like that, or one at all, set intentions to make it happen this New Moon because you are cosmically supported in that endeavor!
