It’s an interesting fact that the astrological factor associated with spirituality is the same as the symbolism associated with creative inspiration. And also delusion. That is not to say that spirituality and creativity are the same as delusion, but when the veil between the Divine and the practical begin to thin there is some danger […]
The post Planetary news this week: Jupiter/Neptune, and the Libra New Moon appeared first on Astrology readings and writings by Lynn Hayes.
It’s all about relating while struggling to create a form of balance under the next four weeks, as Sun (ego, identity) moves from problem-solving Virgo, and into graceful Libra on the Fall Equinox, Monday September 23. With Sun in Libra, we are led toward the equality of light and darkness, life and death, order and […]
The Pisces Full Moon on the 14th harmonizes with Pluto for a turbo boost of creative inspiration along with personal empowerment and growth. Under the Pisces Full Moon, the imagination and inner wisdom of Pisces takes precedence over the mundane details of everyday reality of the four Virgo planets. Pluto is a powerful ally in […]

Good day friends! Before jumping too quickly toward our personal desires this week, we may want to consider a few moments of pause – in order to create a plan B, just in case things don’t go as planned. Intentions with persistence aim to get the job done right with a serious Mars/Saturn trine on […]
“I want to learn to be kind,” I told my husband. “Don’t break anything,” he answered. This got me off to a humorous start, but I’m quite serious about what I’m doing. I am on a quest in this regard. … Read More…

The dreamy Pisces Moon makes a grounding sextile to Saturn (rules, limits) but this will probably be overrun by the euphoric square to Jupiter and conjunction with Neptune. Jupiter and Neptune will pump up the illusions, confusion and yearning for something more. Used properly, this energy can offer some beautiful hours of inspiration- Jupiter will exaggerate but also keep things active. And Neptune can indicate a pure point of transcendence, creativity, compassion. or innocence.
But if you get caught up in something undermining, you can float down the wrong path. These energies are escapist, so consider where you’re escaping to. When in doubt, touch base with your focus or foundations (Saturn). Remind yourself of your responsibilities.
The Moon’s final aspect before she goes VOC is a sextile to Pluto, which can gently intensify the above and leave you with a deeper understanding of what limits you transcended. Pluto (transformation) also suggests a quiet ending, which is emphasized by Pisces as the last sign. Watch for a small “death” and release.
As the Moon enters Aries the next day and the VOC ends, it’s the perfect opportunity to jump into something fresh with renewed motivation.
Do you remember the distraction that happened a few months ago? What we imagined to be our purpose,… where we thought we were going… and the rude intrusion that fell onto our path; was cosmically guiding us onto another road. Since this awkward sense of footing, we’ve been learning how to get back on our […]
1st Quarter Square between the Scorpio Moon and Leo Sun (14 deg)
Sun in Leo trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (14 deg)
Sun in Leo inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)
Scorpio Moon sextile Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)
The First Quarter Square triggers a crisis between depth and shine, dark and light. The Leo Sun (amped up by Jupiter) represents a showy, optimistic situation. It’s loud and proud, bold and beautiful. But the Scorpio Moon brings a darker undertone of something you don’t want to acknowledge – the shadow behind the shine. And yet, this darkness is necessary for you to fully understand the brightness. There’s more than meets the eye – shadow work to be done. In order to enhance what you’re proud of, you need to dig deeper.
The Sun’s inconjunct to Saturn emphasizes this through inconvenient limits, rules or authority. Watch for some brakes on your ego – someone with more power may tell you what’s not possible. As unpleasant as this is, the Moon’s supportive sextile to Saturn reminds you that these limits can be stabilizing. Really dig into the area around those boundaries. There can be deeper, richer resources in these narrow but immovable veins.
Limits create focus which creates concentrated energy; mine the restrictions for enhanced power.

Libra Moon square Mercury in Cancer (25 deg)
Moon Void of Course in Libra (3:35 AM EDT)
Moon enters Scorpio (11:31 AM EDT)
Moon in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)
The last aspect before the Moon goes VOC is a troublesome square to Mercury in Cancer. Emotional words/thoughts will disrupt the balance – the attempt to keep things light and harmonious will be challenged by moody/needy/sensitive Mercury.
If you try to gloss over this crisis, it will get worse. Confront the feels head on while keeping in mind that it’s not all about you or them. Don’t expect smooth moments, and use the brief VOC to exhale and process.
As the Moon enters Scorpio and opposes Uranus, the previous disruptions will lead to something deeper. The info that was saturated in emotion will push the situation to an intense tipping point. Attempts to maintain control/power will be immediately upended by a shock – this could be a truth that exposes a secret, or an unexpected display of freedom. The Scorpio/Taurus axis is about core survival issues, so this will be felt on a deep level.
Keep your eyes open and fearlessly stare down what’s been revealed in the shadows; this is not the time to shy away.
Art by Larry Landolfi The Moon is new in Leo, the first lunar event since the eclipses of July. Leo is the sign that celebrates the Self – the healthy Ego, open-hearted, generous and full of life and an ability to embrace joy. Many of us have been having a very difficult time […]
