Gemini New Moon – Sun and Moon in Gemini 18º

We have a Mercury-ruled chart at New Moon in Gemini so networking, mental agility, fast-talking sociability, and flexibility will certainly be highlighted. Gemini gets its designation as ‘The Twins’ from the two bright stars, Castor and Pollux, in the constellation Gemini. Here we embrace all forms of duality-the conscious and unconscious, love and hate, me and you, faith and doubt-experience each side of the continuum, and with the flexibility of a mutable, air sign, integrate, synthesize and transmute the difference into a new perception. Because Gemini is blessed with the gift of communication in all forms – speaking, teaching, negotiating, translating, convincing, writing…, they are able to bridge and link others minds’ with their myriad of experiences. Fleet-footed Mercury comes to us from Roman mythology, but the lineage is through the more ancient forms of Hermes in Greek mythology and Thoth, God of Knowledge, in Egyptian culture. Mercury, our fastest moving planet and closest to the Sun, is considered neutral and often androgynous. He’s just the messenger; it’s just information. Considered highly adaptable to his environment, he can adapt and interpret information from one arena to the next. Depth is not Mercury’s forte, and be aware of the slightly deceitful, weak-willed nature of this airy sign. Read More »

Support and ease is abundant in the Full Moon chart and at the same time, challenges and tensions are strong in this powerful, amplified window. Keep in mind three interacting factors for this Moon:
1-Lunar eclipse
2-SuperMoon! (Which means the Moon is closest to the Earth, and Sun, Moon, Earth are in alignment to each other in a straight arrow fashion)
3-Exact Pluto square Uranus aspect period May 20 (third of seven squares from 2012 to 2015) Read More »
New Moon ~ Eclipse of the Sun & Moon in Taurus 19º
ASTROLOGICAL NOTES: Written by Patricia Liles
New Moon ~ Eclipse of the Sun, Sun and Moon in Taurus 19º May 9, 2013, 6:29 PM Mountain Daylight Time (May 10, 12:29 AM Greenwich Mean Time)
Eclipses are cyclical focal points. They reappear on the same degree in 19-year cycles aligned with the movement of the North and South Nodes through the signs. Journey back in your mind’s eye to this time in 1994 when The North Node was last in Scorpio and the South Node in Taurus as it is now. Who were you then? We had already entered the current period of rapid expansion and transformation, although it had not yet accelerated to the point we are currently experiencing. Read More »

The energy and fire of Spring rising is strengthened by an alignment of multiple planets in Aries at this New Moon. Even though New Moon is the dark of the moon that calls us to attend to our inner soul needs and reset and renew according to the sign where it resides, Aries has little use for cave dwelling and the arts of contemplation! Mars-ruled Aries wants action, adventure, and proof that it exists as an individual free from the cultural restraints of the previous collective signs of winter (Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces). Aries is a vibrant, masculine, yang energy eager and enthusiastic to begin new ventures, take risks, explore where others have feared to tread, and embody the qualities of the young warrior having left the castle to find his place and what he’s made of out in the world.

Full Moon Sun in Aries, Moon in Libra ~ 6º Wed. March 27, 2013, 3:28 AM MDT
Just a week after the Equinox when the Sun is poised at equal day and equal night, we bask in the light of a Full Moon in Libra, the sign of balance. Here in the northern hemisphere we begin the zodiac cycle anew as the Sun enters 0º Aries at vernal equinox. Each of the four seasons begins with a cardinal sign in a different element:
Spring begins with Aries – cardinal fire
Summer begins with Cancer – cardinal water
Autumn begins with Libra – cardinal air
Winter begins with Capricorn – cardinal earth Read More »

Sagittarius New Moon – 21º
Thursday, December 13, 1:42 AM MST
(8:42 AM Greenwich Mean Time)
The last New Moon of the calendar year allows us to make very clear just what we want to create in the next cycle. We have completed the intensified period of shift marked by the solar/lunar eclipse pair that started Nov. 13. Whew! Intense doesn’t even come close to describe all that has transpired in just one short Moon cycle. Personally, I am awed by the depth and age of psychological/karmic material surfacing in me presently to be turned over to Spirit to recreate a new way of being in this world. With all the collective focus on the end of this year as a major transition point, it’s the perfect time to put your attention on a question like, ‘if I could change one thing in my life that would really make a difference, what would it be?’ Then, point that question in the direction of your relationships, finances, health, happiness or wherever you want to affect change and move to higher ground. By actually writing or verbalizing what those desires are at this time, you can gather significant support for your intentions. As the Moon increases from New to Full Moon, and as the days lengthen and bring more light at Solstice, we have the power of increase at our fingertips. Use it; ride the wave; harness it. On so many levels, we are being offered the portals, tools, and opportunities to tune in to unprecedented spiritual evolution.

We’re all being challenged. We’re all being supported. We’re all letting go of the old way. We’re all reaching toward the new. All systems reset during the weeks of eclipse energy between the New and the Full Moon alignments of the Sun, Moon, and Earth – our Creator, our Receiver, and our Home making us more malleable and open to the gifts made available to us now. How willing are you to relax your grip on the baggage you’re carrying and lift your open hands to the sky? Surrender and Receiving could be the big themes of duality-loving Gemini’s Full Moon energy. Gemini/Sagittarius carry strong mental focus. Gemini loves communicating, connecting, informing, and Sagittarius wants expansion of our horizons and beliefs through exposure to foreign influences, religious ideas, and seeking of wisdom. Teaching and learning are emphasized here. Mercury rules this Moon chart and has been retrograde for weeks drawing us inward and insisting we follow the mental roots deep into our core and draw up those experiences that expose the basis of the way we think. Mercury turning direct on Nov. 26 and moving forward will continue to facilitate those mental level transformations that support our global shift. Look down, is your ticket marked ‘deep intense personal transformation’? I thought so. Well, you’re in the right place at the right time.

Scorpio New Moon, Total Solar Eclipse, SuperMoon
Tuesday, November 13, 3:09 PM MST
Sun and Moon in Scorpio 21º
With this New Moon, we enter the last six weeks – the home stretch, of 2012. We enter an eclipse portal with a total solar eclipse now at New Moon and a partial lunar eclipse at Full Moon at the end of the month. As a SuperMoon, every effect is strengthened, as the Moon is closest to the Earth and in exact alignment with the Sun/Moon. The Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun during solar eclipses essentially blocking out the Sun’s electro-magnetic and radiant energies that are vital to life and allowing a momentary empty moment that can clear and reset our energetic bodies. Anything can happen; release takes place. We realign to this present moment. The universe is offering you an empty vehicle to fill with whatever you want to let go of.

Taurus and Scorpio polarity themes will be activated in our lives with this Full Moon ~ that is our physical resources (money, possessions, security, self worth) and our psychological/sexual resource (the mysterious, unseen, essential, shadowy, and power-infused). Through the lens of Taurus/Scorpio, we weigh and determine what has real and lasting value in our lives, feel the burden (or commitment) of what we are attached to, and engage in the human dance of death, loss, grief and rebirth. Not lightweight topics, but we expect nothing less from two of our power signs – fixed, earth Taurus and fixed, water Scorpio. Power signs, including Leo and Aquarius, are not indecisive about where they are headed. They tend to know what they want and are out to get it. Everything else is a distraction. Maybe a little inflexible at times, but they know what they value. Take the opportunity given at this time of year to clean up your act on the physical plane. Clear some space of dead energies – closets, drawers, corners, garages, files, gutters – anywhere you think energy is blocked and can’t flow easily. Give freely of the old to make way for the new energy. We are preparing our lives for the influx of higher frequency energies coming with the end of this year and shaping the future.
