Do or Die | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
The latest cosmic shifts over the past few weeks have kept us on our toes, between Sun (ego, identity) and Mars (energy, desires) in balancing Libra, then Mercury (thoughts, communications) and Venus (values, love, money) transiting intense Scorpio, while stabilizing Saturn and transformative Pluto both stationed direct. This new week quiets down just a tad; […]
Aries Full Moon: Let It Rip
I found myself, recently, in an uncomfortable and prolonged state of hyper-vigilance. I could feel the way my body wouldn’t allow myself to fully relax. The tension behind my heart, and in my shoulders, as if bolstering myself, readying myself, for the next fresh hell to appear, the next tiger or bear to attack. It was […]
Full Moon in Aries

There’s an Aries Full Moon (20 deg) coming up, taking place on October 13th at 5:07 PM EDT.
It makes a powerful square to Pluto in Capricorn; a square is a crisis aspect, so you can expect this culmination to be driven by a crisis of power. Aries is the assertive warrior sign, and when the Aries Moon is amped up by Pluto, unconscious issues involving dominance and fear of loss will intensify angry or passionate reactions.
Opposing the Libra Sun, watch for a critical imbalance to be addressed. The crisis of transformation will be necessary in order to correct a situation that has swung too far in one direction. If one person has all the power, expect that to change. If one person is powerless, expect there to be explosions of anger. The trigger may surprise you because Pluto unearths what has been buried.
This Moon makes a hopeful trine to Jupiter and Ceres in Sagittarius. No matter what happens, the way forward has been cleared for growth and nurturing. This could be the growth of hope, the birth of something new, the nurturing of greater wisdom and faith.
You’ll be able to expand in a way that was not viable before (if the situation had remained stagnant). The explosive results of this Moon (Pluto always brings a “death”) will make growth possible.

Aries Full Moon: Rights, Grievances, and Relating
But all long-term relationships are a high-wire act of helping someone else live their best life without abandoning your own. It’s tricky work, and even the best-matched partners erupt from time to time over old hurts and resentments. This Full Moon squares the Moon’s South Node, symbolizing the need to release old patterns; in order for relationships to work, each partner has to be willing to let go of having their own way, must temper their ambitions.

Honoring Our Spirit | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
Intentions may feel a bit tested this week, between the irritable Mercury/Uranus opposition, a restrictive Sun/Saturn square on Monday October 7 – and the finicky Venus/Uranus opposition on Saturday October 12. An unexpected shift could be hard to resist, as overpowering winds aim to send us off into another direction. Stay mindful, in order to […]
October 5th, 2019: Crisis and Discomfort

First Quarter Square between the Capricorn Moon and Libra Sun (12°)
Mercury in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron RX in Aries (3°)
The 1st Quarter Square triggers a crisis between relationships and boundaries. Libra Sun wants to be sociable and agreeable, but Capricorn says it’s time to say “No” or express your authority. This will feel uncomfortable, but it will be even more uncomfortable to try to make everyone happy. Take action and draw your line.
Mercury/ Chiron adds to the discomfort as deep analysis or intense words reveal painful issues. You may be tempted to not look at or speak about the taboo issue because the wound is still fresh. Or, you may be so preoccupied with fighting the ongoing battle that you forget to look beneath the surface.
Chiron RX means you are revisiting a previous wound and this is the ideal moment to uncover more information/ secrets. Don’t be afraid to look deeper this time around. The 1st Quarter Square indicates that events will push you forward if you act -you can progress. You just have to be willing to confront the ugly stuff.
