The Low-Down on the Far-Out

The Solar Side of the Moon

The Full Moon in Leo highlights Solar and Lunar energy, dark and light, feminine and masculine, internal and external, Yin and Yang. The Venus-Mars conjunction is a key point, as well as Jupiter sextile Uranus, and the Lunar Nodes. The fun is about finding ways to bring them together creatively.

Back To The Future

Where do you see yourself in a year? In 5 years? The New Moon in Aquarius takes a step beyond Capricorn's mere manifestations and into Aquarius' future possibilities. Capricorn says, "This is what to aim for and how to get there" Aquarius answers, "Why stop there? Why limit yourself?" The Aquarius New Moon chart replies to them both: "Well, it's complicated... But anything's possible!"

Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

The Full Moon in Cancer invites us to stretch ourselves emotionally and psychologically, mentally and socially. Discover how to step beyond your usual familiar territory on multiple levels.

Raising Consciousness Out of the Darkness

There's nothing like starting off the New Year with a New Moon to emphasize the freshness and ambiguity of potential change! Normally when 4 planets are hunkered down in Capricorn, we might feel serious, sad, hard-working, and heavy with expectations. Indeed, many of us do, given the come-back of the umpteenth Covid wave, post-holiday blues, and entering yet another year of pandemic unknowns. Thankfully, there are many other factors in the Capricorn New Moon chart that point to a lighter, brighter, more uplifting frame of mind if you're willing to shift your mindset a little.

Textures of Consciousness

When the Moon is Full in Gemini, our focus is usually on information – gathering it, playing around with it, studying it, sharing it, exchanging it, and putting it into words. At this particular Full Moon, there's a wide variety of textures of information to be found in the chart.

Mercury is in Capricorn, which is important because he rules the Gemini Moon. With Mercury in this Cardinal Earth sign, our focus may be on trying to categorize, sort out, and make logical sense of the different kinds of information.

And yet, even with a busy Full Moon and Mercury, the dominant energy by far is stationary Venus in conjunction with Pluto.

Freedom Song in a Complex Rhythm

Sagittarius is a freedom song to truth, adventure, knowledge and optimism. It is an adventure for spreading your wings and flying where your heart will take you.

Archetypally, after emerging from the intense underworld of Scorpio, who wouldn't want to cast off that heaviness and celebrate your survival?

So, in Sagittarius, don't expect to dwell on the past, nor to happily submit to arbitrary rules. This is a time to embrace the possibilities, to bring the far horizon into focus, and to discover the extent of your full potential.

There's also a quality to this freedom song that bounces to a different rhythm. One player in the orchestra who wants to do their own thing, jazz up the melody and throw in some discordant harmonies, just to make things more interesting...
