Today’s Full Moon in cozy Cancer gets a nod from stable Saturn allowing deep feelings to take root and security to be established in emotional matters. That’s all fine and good, but unpredictable Uranus is likely to throw a wrench in the works and these matters may not be as simple as they seem. Translation: If you can survive the rollercoaster ride of this Full Moon, then you may have what it takes to put down emotional roots and really develop something solid.
Monday’s powerful Full Moon in Taurus shows us both where our power lies and where we are stuck and are likely to face opposition from others. A trine from Pluto enables us to make tremendous changes and reform in the material world. However, the opposition from rule-maker Saturn indicates that we will be challenged to demonstrate the validity of our ideas and plans. Only the strong will thrive. This is a challenging time for Taurus, as your vital energy is at its lowest point of the year. This is a time for you to take baby steps rather than making a huge leap. For Scorpio, it’s a matter of learning how to manage new responsibilities and added pressure. Virgo and Capricorn should do well with bringing matters to completion and manifesting their goals.
Wishing peace and safety to all of m friends in the path of the storm!
And we’re back! Saturday’s Full Moon joins wild Uranus in war-ready Aries, amplifying the battle between Uranus and Pluto that has been creating tumult both on the world stage and in our personal lives all summer. Be warned that this is a potentially explosive time, as tempers ignite and people act before considering the consequences of their actions. Sensitive conversations and dangerous situations should be avoided. If you push, your opponent is likely to push back with much more force than you anticipate. This can be an especially volatile time for those born between March 23rd - 30th, June 24th - July 1st, September 26th - October 3rd, and December 24th - 31st.
Today’s Full Moon in Pisces provides a super dreamy vibe. WIth a square to expansive Jupiter, the volume gets turned up on fantasy, thus enhancing romance and creativity. With support from motivating Mars and powerful Pluto, you can gain traction when it comes to acting on your dreams. The day belongs to Pisces, but Cancer and Scorpio also get a big boost!
This evening’s Full Moon in Aquarius dances with motivator Mars and expansive Jupiter allowing for the fulfillment of altruistic actions and plans that benefit humankind. This may be an opportunity to inject a bit of objectivity and diplomacy into a world gone mad. The air signs - Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are super energized and inspired!
Today’s Full Moon in conservative Capricorn is joined with power-hungry Pluto creating an air of mania and obsession. Add volatile Uranus to the mix and the stage is set for battle. This Full Moon triggers the square between Uranus and Pluto that has been affecting us for the past month and will continue to generate conflict between the revolutionaries and the old guard through the next few months. You can expect this Full Moon to intensify conflicts on the world stage. The same can be said for your personal life. Where you find 12 degrees of Capricorn in your natal chart is where you will fight tooth and nail to maintain the status quo. However, forces beyond your control are likely to interfere with your plans. This can be an especially crazy time for those with the Sun or Ascendant in the middle of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra. Taurus, Virgo, & Capricorn can be especially tenacious now. Don’t expect them to give up or give in. Cancers should fly under the radar as best they can.
Today’s Full Moon in Scorpio is the closest the Moon will be to the earth all year, making this is a very powerful influence. With this Moon opposing expansive Jupiter, emotions, obsessions, and intrigue tend to be blown out of proportion. This is a hyper-emotional time, especially for the water signs - Cancer, Scorpio, & Pisces. Scorpios are WAY out of control. Flying under the radar would be your best course of action, but at the moment you just can’t help but indulge your need to control and obsess. Taureans are so self involved that they may have a hard time discerning other people’s emotions. Leo & Aquarius may feel burdened by the needs and emotional demands of others. For everyone, take it with a grain of salt.
Today’s Full Moon, in Libra, is about finding a balance between yourself and others, and bringing harmony to your relationships. Curb the urge to try too hard. This should be a delicate dance and not a full-on attack. Partnerships may meet a more serious challenge in another 10 days. Do what you can to encourage harmony now. Libra, this is your emotional low point of the year. Fly under the radar as best you can.
3/8 Full Moon in exacting Virgo butting heads with retrograde Mars makes people super picky, highly critical, and easily irritated. Expect lots of bitching and moaning from people who are intent upon finding something to complain about. Virgos get picked on the most and Pisces is most apt to point fingers. Gemini and Sagittarius are both annoyed and annoying. Check and double check everything. Accidents will happen.
2/7 Full Moon in Leo brings the drama! People are inspired to show off and to do things in a big way! However a challenge from Mercury indicates that the devil is in the details. Your performance may prove to be all smoke and mirrors if you haven’t actually done the work that is required to make it the real deal. Fire signs rule. Aquarius, this is a good time to keep your head down.
