Full Moon in Aries packs a punch!

Hi, Everyone,

In spite of being awake until after 4 am, I feel called to write this newsletter. It will not a big one; but, Aries energy tends to blow up so quickly, that it need not be. The caffeine is soaring through my body like the Grand Cross soon will be in the sky, and I am amped up and ready to go!

Before we dive into this tempestuous and stormy Full Moon, let’s reflect on what recently has occurred. Jupiter, the Grand Benefic, retrograded on October 9, 2024 at 21 degrees and 20 minutes of Gemini. We feel that energy five days before and five days afterwards. Jupiter represents optimism, hope, the big vision, philosophies, belief systems, higher learning, and benevelonce.

Jupiter is the greater benefic, but it also exaggerates whatever it touches — good or bad. Pluto, the planet of power, dominion, death, regeneration, destruction, and renewal, stationed direct on October 11, 2024 at 29 degrees and 38 minutes of the Cardinal earth sign of Capricorn. We feel that INTENSITY five days before and five days afterwards. This was all within about a week of the Solar Eclipse in Libra.

When Pluto stations, generally there are big endings, major revelations to get brought to light, layoffs, and breakups. As I used to say about a guy in college whose name I did not know, “There goes Mr. Intense.” He really was not anything but a sheltered rich kid, but we will utilize him for this story. Mr/Mrs/Ms/Mr/they Intense is definitely walking around, and it is heavy! Unlike the joker in school, Mr. Intense is not joking around with us. Lessons that come up now for you need to be heeded.

Mercury, the planet of the mind, thoughts, and ideas, entered the Fixed water sign of Scorpio on October 13, 2024, where it will tour through November 2, 2024. Pluto rules the sign of Scorpio, and it is a phenomenal placement for uncovering information and getting to the bottom of things. Pluto is the cosmic detective, and it will get to the bottom of things.

All of the outer planets retrograde for several months per year. Pluto retrograded on May 2, 2024 at 2 degrees and 6 minutes of the Fixed air sign of Aquarius. Pluto will ingress back into Aquarius on November 19, 2024, where it will transit through March 8, 2043. The New Age of Aquarius will be moving at such a rapid pace, and the frequencies will be on a whole other level.

In the interim, we are wrapping up karmic stories around the material goals, finances, money, power, people in authority, status, and Capricorn themes. This is the final ending of the Epoch of Capricorn, which was at its height in 2020 when Saturn and Pluto met up at 22 degrees of Capricorn, Jupiter was transiting in Capricorn, and Eclipses were in the Capricorn/Cancer axis.

29 degrees of a sign is a degree of crisis. This is the universe imploring you to let go of the old structures, relationships,patterns, and lifestyle that no longer serves you. We were unconsciously already working in a new era of intuition, new ways of thinking, and technology for several years; but, we shut the doors down permanently on November 19, 2024. Pluto will be leaving the building to start something completely new.

Therefore, this Full Moon is a wopper of a Full Moon because it is combative, contentious, argumentive, and it wants endings. It also wants you to be a warrior with disgression. Is that possible?! The Full Moon occurs on October 17, 2024 at 7:26 am EDT at 24 degrees and 35 minutes of the Cardinal fire sign of Aries.

I set the chart for Washington DC, and the Eclipse chart has Libra ascendant with the Sun right on the angle. It forms what is known as a Grand Cross in that the Sun and Moon are always opposite during a Full moon; they are 180 degrees apart.

Add to the fact that Mars in Cancer, which is a moody placement for Mars and the ruler of this fiery full moon in Aries, sends out a punch both to the Sun and Moon in Libra; it also forms a wide opposition to Pluto, which says this has been a drawn-out goodbye, but good riddance! Chiron, which is the Wounded Healer, is only three degrees away from the Moon in Aries and emphasizes all of the pain and wounds. All of the loss. Chiron sets of that legendary pairing of the two malefics: Saturn and Pluto. They met up at 22 degrees of Capricorn, and that is getting triggered by Chiron and this Full Moon in Aries.

This Full Moon marks the official end of Eclipse season, as it is the first lunation since the Eclipses; however, I feel we deal with the lingering effects a while longer — particularly with Pluto at its final degree in Capricorn. A lot of people in power being brought down, a lot of heavy world situations that are highly tentative, and a lot of fear. Aries is such an impulsive sign, but this is certainly not a time for any of us to act with impulsivity. Mars and Pluto in combat is an aspect of violence. Those are the two rulers of Scorpio.

I think this Full Moon also reminds us that Mars will be retrograde for quite some time; as it only retrogrades once every 22 months. Mars enters Leo on November 3, 2024 — right after it forms an exact opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. That is very virulent energy. Not to be in fear but to mindful that that energy is at play in early November. We always feel Mars transits before they are exact; therefore, it may be at play on November 1st and 2nd.

Mars retrogrades on December 6, 2024 at 6 degrees and 11 minutes of the Fixed fire sign of Leo and stations direct on February 23, 2025 at 17 degrees of Cancer. It will not leave the sign of Cancer until April 18, 2025 and will not clear its shadow until May 2, 2024. This is very useful energy because when Mars is retrograde, it is not an ideal time to get surgery, to launch a new business, to start a new job, or to change your appearance.

We cannot all avoid those time frames, so do as much as you can now to eliminate the fears of what keeps you back. This Full moon could incite so much anger in people; but, the idea is that the first Eclipse in Pisces was so vulnerable and delicate. It was conjunct Neptune, which reached the final degree of Pisces and of the Zodiac. These natural disasters, storms, hurricanes, and floods throughout Europe, Asia, Mexico, America, etc. has been horrific. I am sure I have left places out, but it shows how many storms have occurred since September.

Pisces is the part of the subsconscious mind. As much it is indicates our dreams and imagination, it also summons our fears and nightmares. This Full Moon in Aries may be incendiary, but maybe that is what we need to fuel us to fight the unknown. Not with impulse, not with meaningless destruction, but with confidence and forward motion. Do as much as you can to get yourself in line for 2025. Mars will retrograde before the end of the year, but we will still have six weeks. If you are launching something big, take all of the micro and macro steps now to get it in motion.

If you are in a group setting tomorrow, a meditation circle, a sound bath, or with friends, this is a great time to do a group ritual to release fears together.

A lot of breakups and endings since the Solar Eclipse in Libra. Focusing on what is of value and finding people that align with those values as we re-enter the REAL NEW AGE OF AQUARIUS! I know this is such a tough time for all, and I am going through something on a personal level as well. Rember that the North Node of Karma is still in Aries through January 6, 2025, which encourages you to have COURAGE and be BOLD in this very uncertain time in the world. Most importantly, please keep love in your heart! #fullmoon #Aries #Libra #plutodirect #astrology

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.
