Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: In search of Happy dreams

Hi, Everyone,

The moment we have been waiting for us is upon us: The partial Lunar Eclipse occurs on September 17, 2024 at 10:34 pm EDT at 25 degrees and 41 minutes of Pisces. This Full Moon Eclipse occurs in a mutable water sign, which means that it is extremely intuitive, emotional, psychic, sensitive, and is constantly fluid and taking different shapes.

This Eclipse series defaults back to the last time the Eclipses were in the Pisces/Virgo axis, and that began on March 20, 2015 when there was a Total Solar Eclipse at 29 degrees and 27 minutes of Pisces, which is the final degree of Pisces and of the Zodiac. This is exactly the degree at which Neptune, the modern ruler of Pisces, was transiting from May 4, 2024 through September 4, 2024 and will return next spring on and off through February 15, 2026.

Lunar Eclipses and Solar Eclipses are extra powerful Full and New Moons. In order to have an Eclipse, the Nodes of Destiny have to be within 18 degrees of the Sun and the Moon. That is why Eclipse seasons are so eventful and bring very fated and dramatic events that can sometimes change our lives in a flash and that bring big revelations, moves, major beginnigs, endings, and an end to situations that have been brewing for a long time.

Neptune at the last degree of Pisces is wrapping up all of the lessons and challenges of the signs that precede the mutable water sign of Pisces. The final degrees of Pisces is the Fixed star known as Scheat and is a degree of empathy, creativity, and selfless love. However, it is also a degree of self undoing, suicide, despair, addiction, drowing, and being lost at sea.

At this moment, many are drowning in the mental health and drug epidemic, and this is a time where it is crucial to practice healthy tools for self care both emotionally and physically. Check in on on people that struggle with depression or addiction issues.

This Lunar Eclipse is a time of endings, departures, loss, and surrender. It is also an Eclipse where many are learning more about their spiritual journey that is led by both Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. The Nodes of Fate change signs next January, and the North Node of Karma enters the final degree of Pisces, where Neptune recently transited for several months. This brings a big focus on connecting to your intuition, learning new spiritual and healing tools to serve you in various ways, and finding some kind of faith in a time of uncertainty.

Over the weekend, Venus formed a beautiful angle to Jupiter, the planet of optismism, blessings, opportunities, and hope. Venus is the planet of value, self esteem, creativity, and love. It is currently transiting in its home sign of Libra, where is loves to be and is centered on justice, relationships, and partnering. Those are the two benefics of the Zodiac, and they are still in harmony.

Venus proceeded to oppose Chiron the wounded Healer, on September 16, 2024 at 22 degrees of Libra and Aries, which are at the world point and impacts all of us. Chiron in Aries wants you to have courage to be imperfect and be yourself. It wants you to face yourself.

This Lunar Eclipse is very much about surrendering and letting go; yet, it is a North Node Eclipse, which indicates that that there is a lot of opportunity for self growth in the revelations that occur. Eclipses bring things to light and make us see things in a way we never have before. The North in Aries reinforces what Chiron wants you to do, and that is to be yourself, be confident, and take new steps to grow and get out of your comfort zone to heal with this vulnerable eclipse in Pisces.

Eclipses bring things to light and make us see things in a way in which we never have before. The partial Lunar Eclipse occurs when a fraction of the moon is covered by the Earth’s shadow. It is a still a very revelant and impactful Lunar Eclipse in that it meets up with Neptune, which is so pronounced in the collective journey this year both with Saturn and Neptune transiting in the Neptune driven sign of Pisces; but, also with Neptune at the Final degree of the Zodiac, where it has not been in approximately 165 years, as that it takes Neptune to orbit the sun.

This Lunar Eclipse takes place at 10:43 pm EDT at 25 degrees and 41 minutes of Pisces and is conjunct Neptune, the planet of dreams, intuition, psychic ability, imagination, creativity, secrets, hidden information, deception, confusion, and fog. In some cases, deception will be brought to light in a big way, as Neptune is the hidden, and Eclipses are revealing. This is also a time to pay attention to your dreams and messages you receive in different ways — whether it be through a song, the time on your phone, a licence plate, etc. This is a time to connect spirit guides, angels, and those that can help you.

The Full Moon Eclipse also squares Jupiter, the ancient ruler of Pisces, which expands whatever it touches and can amplify the dreamy, intuitive, and psychic energy of this Eclipse. With Neptune close to the Moon, and the Full Moon Eclipse in conflict with Jupiter, many feel extremely drained and tired. This is a time to get extra rest. Virgo is a connection of mind and health and a time to stay grounded and focused on details. Pisces is a time of suspension of disbelief, listening within, and is much more out-of-body.

Write down things that you want to release — old grievances of people that have hurt you that you wish to forgive. You can also forgive yourself. If you can, burn those notes and clear your heart. Make room for new dreams. In this Eclipse chart, there is a kite. Neptune, which rules the sign of pisces and is the planet of dreams, forms a sextile to Pluto, the planet of transformation, which is at the very final degree of Capricorn and finishing up its 16 year story around letting of old systems, structures, and changes in power.

A sextile occurs when two planets or points are sixty degrees apart, and it is an aspect of opportunity. The Sun in Virgo forms a trine to Uranus, the planet of surprise and brilliance. This occurs when two planets are 120 degrees apart, and this is a flow of energy between the two.

The two planets also form trine to Pluto, the planet of transformation, and this is causes what is known as Grand Trine and is a triangle. This is a very lucky and inspiring configuration and is a Grand Trine in Earth, which brings some opportunity to bring to earth what we are channeling intuitively. The Moon in Pisces opposes the Sun and forms a kite.

A Kite occurs when there is a Grand Trine and a fourth planet opposes one of the planets in the Grand Trine as that involves a Grand trine and forms a sextile (60 apart) from the other two configured planets, which in this case are Neptune and Pluto at the Final degrees of their signs: Pisces and Capricorn. A Kite has a fated element that can bring development and personal growth; albeit, with some tests along the way.

This Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is between Saturn, the planet of responsibility, accountability, and structure; as well as Neptune, the planet of dissolution, confusion, and spirituality. The Moon met up with Saturn, planet of limitations and restrictions, at 6:11 am EDT and this underscores the lessons and themes we need to heed in order to obtain the dream.

Mercury, the planet of information, opposes Saturn, planet of reality, on September 18th, 2024 at 4:50 am EDT. There is a sobering affect to an Eclipse, where people can really lose a sense of reality; yet many will try to escape with The Moon conjunct Neptune and square Jupiter. Remember to really heed the messages now. Many truths will be brought to light. I wish you much luck.

New Moon in Leo: Turn on your Love Light!

Hi, Everyone,

There is so much to discuss, but I will break it down in parts. I have to say in advance that I have been swimming against, with, and towards Neptune far more than I have liked in these past few months, and I am wading in a pool of vulnerability and depression to which many can relate. If my writing is not linear, it is because I am channeling, drowning in, and feeling the Astrology — especially Neptune at the final degree of the Zodiac.

A New Moon in Leo occurred today at 7:13 am est at 12 degrees and 34 minutes of the Fixed fire sign of Leo. Look to where that falls in your chart, and that is where you are experiencing a sense of new beginnings. The sun is in its dignity while in Leo, and this is a much needed New Moon in a time where most people feel lost, scared, or uncertain.

On July 31, 2024, The Sun in Leo formed a beautiful angle to the North Node in Aries. This was a message to connect with others and to have courage to be yourself and not to forget your passions and what makes you shine. On August 1 and August 2, 2024, Mars in Gemini formed a postive angle to the North North Node and urged us all to take action to network, align with what you are trying to create, and to have a sense of purpose when things seem so chaotic.

Much more chaos ensues in the month of August; as well as creativity and new solutions. This is a cosmic nudge for all to have courage to fight for what you want, learn, and not give up on your passions. When I was little, I did not like to eat a lot of my food and could be a bit picky. My mother would laugh and lightly tap my plate with a fork both to rile me up and to get me to eat. The Universe is tapping your plate, and it is time to eat up the opportunities that emerge in this cosmic kaleidoscope of change.

This New Moon is quite something. Notice that I have not yet mentioned the big Mercury retrograde. Let’s break down the facts. The New Moon occurred at 12 degrees and 34 minutes of Leo. Think back to January 31, 2018 when there was a Total Lunar Eclipse at 11 degrees and 37 minutes of Leo.

This New Moon defaults back to that time, and it is an opportunity to shine a light on you! It is a chance to have optimism in creating new things and bringing love and light to your life. Let the New Moon special shine an ever lovin’ light on you!

The New Moon in Leo has it Sun in its dignity, and it’s got the moves like Jagger. The Sun absolutely loves being in the sign of Leo and is unstoppable. We should all take a page from that now with Neptune at the Fixed Star of Scheat, where we could all be drowning in sorrow if we do not lean towards the light of Leo.

I cast the chart for the New Moon for Washington DC, and the Sun and Moon in Leo fall in the 12th house of spirituality, creatitivity, compassion, and rest. The Sun forms a helpful trine to the North Node in Aries, although it is separating, and it says to reach for the stars. The Sun and Moon are also inconjunct Saturn in Pisces, which means there is readjustment needed to achieve the dream. Neptune in Pisces ultimately is the dream. Perhaps, you have been dimming your own light and losing sight of your own value.

Venus changes signs later at 10:23 pm EST and ingresses into the Mutable earth sign of Virgo, where she will nitpick, finetune, and organize through August 29, 2024. In the New Moon chart, Venus is at the Fixed Star known as Regulus and is at the Final degree of Leo, where she is hot and on fire! Regulus is the King maker and the Queen maker, and it is a point where she rise in position in life.

Venus at Regulus is a lovely place to be; but, it is also inconjunct Neptune in Pisces, which is at that very challenging Fixed Star known as Scheat. Scheat is connected with self-undoing, addiction, and drowning. It is imperative that we all pay attention to Neptune at the final degree of the Zodiac, where he will be on and off through early 2026 because there is a huge mental health epidemic.

Scheat is a Fixed Star at 28 degrees and 29 degrees of Pisces. It is connected with suicide, addiction, and drowning. Kurt Cobain, who was a Pisces took his life when Saturn was last in Pisces and had his natal Saturn at the Fixed Star of Scheat. Saturn is the planet of responsibility, restrictions, and karmic lessons.

Marilyn Monroe also suffered from addiction problems. She had Uranus, the planet of chaos, disruption, and originality at Scheat. Drew Barrymore, who has conquered her addiction issues, is a Pisces with her Venus, at Scheat. Venus is the planet of love, creativity, and relationships, she has worked with the creative side both in her acting and in her love of makeup and glamour. I know two people in particular, who have their Sun at Scheat, and they are natural wonders in their kindness, generosity, and endless creativity. There is incredible wisdom at the end of the Zodiac, but there is also so much pain from the lessons endured.

Neptune is in its dignity in Pisces and is also the higher Octave of Venus. Venus in Leo at the Royal Fixed Star of Regulus wants you to glow, yet there is something that needs soothing. There is healing needed around love, self value, loss, and the heart chakra.

Venus is also separating from her duel with Uranus in Taurus, which is at yet another Fixed Star known as Algol. The Fixed Star of Algol is at 26 degrees of Taurus and is connected both literally and metaphorically with losing one head. A lot of people are losing their cool, their sanity, and their stability. A New Moon in Leo is just what we need to bring hope with all of these Fixed Stars so prevalent in the sky — particularly Scheat and Algol, which are both very difficult.

Venus enters Virgo at 10:23 pm EST and brings more energy to the Mercury in Retrograde story, as this is yet another planet ruled by Mercury. Mercury rules the mutable signs of Gemini and Virgo. Venus is in her Fall position in Virgo, as she rules the opposite sign of Pisces. She is critical while in Virgo, but she is excellent for paying attention to the details, finecombing your work and projects, and cleaning up the mess. Venus helps with this celestial mess through August 29, 2024 when she enters her home sign of Libra and puts on the charm.

Venus in Virgo helps with the Mercury Retrograde journey because if you really apply yourself to improving the issues that surface during this very reflective retrograde, you can build momentum with whatever you strive to achieve.

Mars, the planet of action, is transiting in the Mercury driven sign of Gemini through September 4, 2024. Mars is how you get things done, how you work, and how you move ahead. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, transits in Gemini through June 9, 2024. This means that as of late tonight/early tomorrow, there will be four planets transiting in signs ruled by Mercury, and this is a HUGE time for reassessing what works, and what does not.

This is a time to reflect, hear from ghosts from the past, and reevaluate what no longer serves you. With Mars in Gemini, there is the chance that you may do things twice, or you may have more than one option. Gemini is like the Lovers card in Tarot, in which there are choices. You may think over those choices you have made and do things in a different way.

Mercury retrogrades on 8/4/24 at 9:56 pm PST and on 8/5/24 at 12:56 am EST at 4 degrees and 7 minutes of Virgo. When Mercury retrogrades in its domicile, it intensifies the energy of Mercury retrograde and brings home the issues in a much more potent way.

This is an invitation to reconsider, reorganize, revise, remake, and return to habits, work, and routines that gives your life purpose. Venus is also a personal planet and adds to the theme of paying attention to the details, which has been so hard with both Saturn and Neptune copresent in Pisces, where we can float all over the place.

We are building up to a very big mutable T square that occurs the second half of August, and in which we have one of three challenging squares from Jupiter (expansion) in Gemini to Saturn (restrictions) in Pisces. How do we expand but stay centered? How do we structure dreams when we feel lost without a captain? The North Node in Aries wants YOU to be the captain. We are about to find out how to steer this journey of self discovery in unprecedented times.

Mercury ingresses back into the Fixed fire sign of Leo on August 14th, which is the day that Mars meets up with Jupiter. Mars is the planet of drive, ambition, war, aggression, and passion. Jupiter magnifies whatever it touches. This is an aspect of good fortune, but it could also expand the aggressive energy so potent in the world. When Mercury returns to Leo, it is time to rediscover what makes your heart happy, how you can emanate love, and how you can reconnect to your passions.

Mercury stations direct on August 28, 2024 at 21 degrees and 34 minutes of Leo. Mercury initially entered its shadow when it reached 21 degrees of Leo on July 17, 2024. Mercury remains in Leo until it ingresses back into the sign of Virgo on September 9, 2024, where it will remain through September 26, 2024. Mercury retrogrades in Virgo, which is a time to perfect things through your work, your searching within, and focusing on your health and habits. Mercury retrograde in Leo is a time to readdress how you sparkle, and you know you do!

This a New Moon that bursts with possibility while in the very confident sign of Leo; but, there are adjustments needed and much reflection ahead. This is like Spring cleaning when it is 100 degrees outside, but it is also your time to take good care and prepare for a lot of movement and action later in the month, which I will cover more in depth soon. The New Moon is an excellent time to write down intentions, do a manifesting ritual on your own or with people you love, and to do the Law of Abundance.

To do the Law of Abundance, take a blank check and date it for August 4, 2024. Where it says, “Pay to the order of, ” write down your full name. Leave the small numeric box empty. On the following line, where you normally print out the amount, write, “Paid in Full.” Where you normally sign your name at the bottom of the check, print, “The Law of Abundance.” I wish you much luck in this cosmic karmic review!
