    People and Principles

    By taking care of ourselves, we learn to take care of others, and vice versa. Deciding when, how and why to do this is the question. Be open to everyone, or say no when you need to? Embrace ideals and principles, or nurture our needs in the here and now? Yes, all of that!

    Each Other

    Zodiac sign Cancer holds our need for nurturing, belonging and connection. This New Moon in Cancer explores how we embrace and struggle with those needs, especially on a transpersonal level. The upcoming Venus Retrograde in Leo is a time to reach for and receive love, beauty and creativity. And then there are the complications that turn our path inward and outward and beyond.

    Transforming Lightning Into Love

    Aquarius is everywhere right now! The New Moon is in Aquarius, and is conjunct Pluto which starts to move into Aquarius in 2023. Venus is on intimate terms with both rulers of Aquarius, conjunct Saturn and ruling Uranus. Uranus is stationary, making his defiant nature extra cheeky. And the New Moon begins the Chinese Year of the Rabbit.

    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!"

    Even mellow Taurus can't seem to smooth out the jagged edges of this eclipse season, especially with ruling planet Venus having a hard time in this chart. But there are saving graces and ways to make the struggle worthwhile.

    Echoes From The Past

    Behold: the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Taurus! Again we encounter the Saturn-Uranus square that has haunted our skies since 2020. In fact, this eclipse brings the last 15 years into focus, going back to the Uranus-Pluto square and the Cardinal Cross. Taking place on the day of the US Midterm elections, this eclipse will likely make for a very intense day, with this energy playing out over the next 6 months.

    What's In Your Bowl?

    Taurus usually loves and lives for stability, success, pleasure, relaxation and creature comforts.

    A Full Moon in Taurus generally says it's time to appreciate and enjoy the fruits of your labours from the last 2 weeks (since the previous New Moon).

    A Lunar Eclipse in Taurus says the same about the last 5 or 6 months.

    However, this Lunar Eclipse in Taurus is likely to feel a bit more like trying to relax in a bubble bath in the middle of a hurricane!

    Letting Go With Love

    Welcome to the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon in Scorpio! Uranus conjunct the Sun says this is a good time to let go of "stuff" in your life that's past it's best-before date. Mercury Retrograde conjunct the North Node helps you decide what stays and what goes. The Moon and Mars are in mutual reception, calling on you to balance courage with caring.
