Powerful energy continues to vibrate and overflow into this brand new week under the transformative Leo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse/Blood Moon/Super/Wolf Moon shortly after midnight, on Monday January 21. New Moon intentions (from January 4) will peak, expelling a new level of radiance and magick from this sacred spotlight. What has remained secretive, hidden and/or unknown will […]

Leo Full Moon and eclipse
Tomorrow I’m scheduled to start my new novel. It has a title – Christmas at Curlew Cottage – and it has some characters who have
January 10th, 2019: Precursor to the Jupiter/Neptune Square

Moon in Pisces sextile Mercury in Capricorn (8 deg)
Moon in Pisces sextile Saturn in Capricorn (12 deg)
Moon in Pisces square Jupiter in Sagittarius (13 deg)
Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune (14 deg)
The Pisces Moon starts off on a relatively grounded note as sextiles to Mercury and Saturn keep things stable. Realistic, defined words and boundaries act as anchors to Pisces’ dreams and escapist tendencies. You may begin something with sober intentions.
But the Moon’s square to expansive Jupiter and conjunction with Neptune suggests you’ll quickly forget about the shoulds, as a rush of enthusiasm and fantasy push you past the limits. It will be easy to overdo it or float off on a cloud of something pleasant. Jupiter brings on the good feelings and sense of greatness (it’s all good and possible) while Neptune encourages you to let go, dissolve or forget. Note that the square is a tense aspect, which means Jupiter’s influence will be exaggerated – too much, too hopeful.
No judgements here – sometimes we all need to escape and just feel good. But make certain that anything crucial is completed before the Jupiter square hits (6:48 pm EST).
This Moon will briefly activate the applying Jupiter/Neptune square while reminding you (via Mercury and Saturn) that there are still rules to follow if you want to manifest something.
I discussed this in the most recent horoscopes:
“…on January 13th, Jupiter in Sagittarius makes the first of three squares this year to Neptune in Pisces. This is the soap bubble influence – beautiful, buoyant possibilities. Jupiter expands by increasing hopes and opportunities while Neptune expands by dissolving boundaries. But when they form a hard square, there is tension between hope and belief, truth and dreams. This square can introduce a lot but much of it may not be real.
Since the Mercury/Saturn conjunction occurs on the same day, pay attention to what you know rather than what you hope for. Jupiter/Neptune brings great creative potential that can, if handled with caution, manifest into something beautiful.”

January 9th, 2019: Liberation and Fantasy

Moon in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries (28 deg)
Moon Void of Course in Aquarius (28 deg 11:52 am EST)
Moon enters Pisces and VOC ends (2:43 pm)
Moon in Pisces square Venus in Sagittarius (2 deg)
Just before the Aquarius Moon goes VOC, its sextile to Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) offer a gentle shot of liberation and the need to do your own thing. This aspect will not encourage crazy or risky behaviour – rather, it’s a manageable surge of independence. You can sail through the VOC feeling good about being you with no need to answer to anyone.
As the Moon enters transcendent Pisces and squares Venus, the energy shifts to dreamy urgency – now there may be an increased desire to love, give or connect with others. Venus in Sag is still about freedom, but it’s the freedom to have what you want, with no limits. There’s always a desire for much more.
The square can make this a bit demanding and you may seek out more than is available. Too, this can be an aspect of overindulgence. It can still feel quite pleasant, but be aware that what you want may not be easily achieved or realistic.
Overall, not a grounded day as liberation shifts into fantasy. However, for some this can be quite positive if they work with the innovative and hopeful energies (fears are easily ignored).

Today’s partial solar eclipse is a powerhouse of grounded energy

Today’s New Moon in Capricorn is the first eclipse of the year: a partial Solar Eclipse in which the light of the Moon blocks out the Sun. This eclipse occurs with five planets (including the Sun and Moon) all in the practical and grounded sign of Capricorn. Though a solar eclipse typically brings out the […]

Capricorn New Moon
Each year when I write about the Capricorn New Moon I write a variation on the same theme – and mostly it’s to do with getting my goals in order. That’s partly because it’s that time of the year, but it’s also because I’m such an innate drifter at heart – hello, I’m uber-Pisces – …
Eclipses 2019
Eclipse season is almost upon us – making it the perfect time to have another look at eclipses, what they mean, how to interpret them, and get a heads-up of where they’ll be happening in 2019. Solar eclipses occur at a New Moon. During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, …
All hail the Cancerian Full Moon at the Winter Solstice!

The astrological Solstice occurs when the Sun enters Capricorn (for my Southern Hemisphere friends this is actually the Summer Solstice). Solstices and Equinoxes are important energetic gateways having to do with the balance of light and darkness. At the Winter Solstice, the days are at their shortest and as humans we are pulled inwards into […]
