PISCES NEW MOON
20 degrees 16 minutes 4:00 AM EST 10 March 2024 Pisces New Moon conjunct it’s ruler, Neptune, makes for a dreamy time, indeed. To find our way in this landscape it is necessary to attune to the whole self. The New Moon makes a harmonious aspect to Uranus and Jupiter in Taurus inviting both physicality and the Higher Self to align. With Mars and Venus in a fixed Aquarius square to Uranus and Jupiter, our vitality and values must be considered, as well. Mercury has just entered Aries which makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in Aquarius. How we think and act now can have an impact on the very evolution of our lives and of our souls. Taking some time to sit with, and making space for, all versions of ourselves is a very good idea this new Moon. Who we thought we would be, the dreams of self that have been left behind, the ones that are barely an inkling of an idea — see who steps forward and who taps on the shoulder and who peeks from behind the curtain? Can some dream selves be integrated into who we want to become? Can those that will be put to rest be acknowledged and released? With Mercury at 00 degrees of Aries – the first degree of the first sign with a new Moon conjunct Sun in Pisces, the 12th and last sign of the Zodiac, we can speak to the Self as the Fool, as the wise child. We can look into the eyes of our sage and ancient self with a childlike freedom from guile. We can see all the way in and through, if we can allow ourselves to approach the Self with innocence. Know all and know nothing. 💗🐠🐠♓️ Lydia

Virgo Full Moon
Tune in early and often to the Higher Self. Full Moon at 5°22 Virgo 24February 2024, at 1:30 AM EST Mercury, ruler of Virgo is conjunct the Sun in Pisces. We will need to go within to gain clarity and to make sense if thoughts and ideas. Venus and Mars are widely conjunct Pluto in Aquarius. Here, our values, our energy, and our soul’s purpose want to align with the Higher Mind and its directive. Back inside, we go for instruction on when, how, and IF we act. Pisces dreams and yearns and can drift. Virgo is on the scene to consider, breframe, and find a practical path. They are one of my favorite astrological duos. We can have magic, hopes, and dreams in Pisces. And as the final sign of the zodiac, it has the tools of all 12 signs in its kit. Maybe that’s why it can rest in the dreamscape. It can join here with Virgo and get down to brass tacks- bringing ideas into form. Saturn opposing the full moon can help us along. This full moon can transform the mood, change the mind, and get into action. Virgo can let you know what is useful and necessary, and what can be put out in the recycling. It is efficient, helpful, and smart. Still, it’s a full Moon which is activated by more visits with the inner voice. If you’re feeling antsy, ask on the go and listen quickly. Best to tune in often to transform a moment, a day, even a whole life. What’s a minute or 35 years in the grand scheme? Time to expand into what we value. Can we sync up what we want with what is for both the self and the whole? The planetary lineup: Aquarius/Pisces/Aries/Taurus aligns an influx of new ideas, wisdom of both Spirit and experience, dynamic instinctual/elemental push, and the ability to ground a new way of being through connection to our true and valued Self. That’s a lot and the lineup will guide us along. The track may feel like a rollercoaster in the dark. We can throw our hands in the air and scream. With the seatbelt firmly fastened, a trust in what is to come allows us to experience all of the twists and turns that come with being a human engaged in its own unfoldment. The seatbelt in this case, is an ingrained, go-to practice that grounds and centers us at a moment’s notice. Be it a word, a visual, a mantra, stomping of feet or breathing deep of air, have a quick practice at the ready. It will carry you through these wild and wooly and life-changing/mind-altering times. We came for these times. We signed up for this. The actual experience can feel different than we imagined when we enrolled in the course, but this is it. We came to be a part of a great unfoldment. Here it is and here we all are. Right on schedule. Thanks to a Virgo full Moon. May it be a healing one for us all. Virgo loves all. Respects all. ♍️🌕♓️ AQUARIUS NEW MOON
20 degrees 40 minutes Aquarius 5:59 PM EST 9 February 2024 Happy Lunar New Year of the Wood Dragon. All planets are in forward motion until April speeding things up. Aquarius travels faster than lightning and its ruler, Uranus, is now direct in Taurus. Taurus energy is not quite so speedy. It likes to consider and check its footing before it steps into the field. Uranus is square to the new moon. We can find the familiar in the unexpected to get a toehold in the new reality as it takes shape. Taurus rules what we value both in objects and relationships but also our value system. With current external events bringing secrets and hidden agendas into the clear Aquarius light if day, we may be reevaluating what we find important, worthwhile, and true. In this process, we may feel an urgency to let go of relationships with people, with providers to which we’ve been subscribing, to companies/charities we’ve been patronizing /supporting. We may need to do this as we find more information that reveals they aren’t in alignment with our values. We just may not be able to stomach seeing our $10 backdraft to that streaming service any longer when it is revealed where that money is going. The nodal axis is making a harmonious aspect to the new Moon that will help us to know when to move on from alliances that no longer line up with what we know and find to be true. The North Node is in Aries and the South Node is in Libra until early next year. We are learning to balance how we care for the self and trust our instincts, and how and when and with whom or what we engage. Things will likely be moving in ways we didn’t expect even when we are looking out for wild cards. The wild cards will have wild cards. So, it is good to keep in balance in the day to day as much as possible. It is great to have what we CAN plan for sorted out. Groceries in the pantry, cars in good order, car with a full tank, eyeglasses repaired, cash on hand, etc. Aquarius rules friends and community. At this new Moon we can review and decide how we can serve our friends and the wider world. Saturn in Pisces makes a harmonious aspect to Jupiter in Taurus at the new moon helping to find ways for our dreams of a better world for ALL to take shape. Mars enters Aquarius on the 15thand Venus joins it on the 17th. Love and service. Who are we serving and why? With Pluto mostly in Aquarius (it backs into Capricorn one last time from 2 September until 20 November 2024) until 2043, this new Moon is a good time to align with our values. It is up to each one to bring their specific light to the group. Led by open hearts and expanded minds, I believe there is hope for us yet. LEO FULL MOON 2024
25 January 12:54 PM EST 5 degrees 14 minutes Leo Time to align the heart with the head. The Sun is now in Aquarius with Pluto at zero degrees of the sign – finally out of Capricorn until 1 September. Time to make the new ways stick! The full Moon in Leo asks us to follow our own heart and leave those heartless ones in the dust. Allow your heart to invite what kindness and generosity to the self and to others can look like for you. Each of our hearts beats in a way that leads us on specifically to our own best- to our own imprint on the earth that we can leave behind. What does that imprint look like? What little life form can bloom in the puddle made by your footprint – by your heartbeat. What affect can your own vibration have as it resonates beyond space and time. Full Moon moment – put the hand on the heart and start from there. Imagine the beating of it filling your room, your street, your town, your continent your planet, past the other planets and beyond. Feel the expansion that starts with your very own heart. What do you want yourself and the universe to know about what is dear to you in the beating of that heart? Seriously, this exercise shows how tiny and how big we really are. We make an imprint whether we are concentrating on it or not. Is t it worth a few minutes of Hand on Heart time with yourself to get in sync with it? With this practice we CAN affect the vibration of the planet building peace that starts from the heart with good and loving intention. Since the Lunar New Year — the Wood Dragon Year - starts at the next new Moon, it’s time to review, release, and get ready to fly. With Mars and Mercury conjunct in Capricorn it is a great time to make a habit of energizing and speaking with our own heart – knowing what is true there and knowing what kind of frequency we are transmitting to and from that heart. Leo rules the heart. That Mercury Mars conjunct is making an Earth trine to Uranus at 19 degrees Taurus. Mars in Capricorn is Squaring the nodal axis (Libra – South/Aries North conjunct Chiron.) we may instinctually want to react to wounding and blame others for it. Stay in the heart, rise above what is happening in front of us and feel the heart vibrating for the good of all. Uranus rules Aquarius where the Sun, and now Pluto are. Uranus shakes us into being. It shocks us awake. It shocks us aware, and it can shove us into a new way of being, believing and understanding. Because of its detached universality, Aquarius works for the good of the whole – the ones we agree with AND the ones we don’t. Also, it’s time to release dodgy, outdated, and undeserved allegiance and alliances. Aquarius/Uranus serves the whole!!! It is the universal mind. Go beyond indoctrination, cultural programming, and whatever other nonsense we may have been fed. That is all Capricorn stuff. Know our own hearts and minds. Be responsible for what you know, what you believe, and how you act. Uranus goes direct on 27 January at 19 degrees Taurus so forward movement into the individual and collective will speed up with all planets direct until the end of March. That, for a first step, anyway, is what Pluto in Aquarius (the higher mind) brings to the table. And Aquarius will ALWAYS be in polarity to Leo: ruled by the Sun. Ruled by the heart. Get to know yours. The time is now. ❤️🔥🦁 CAPRICORN NEW MOON 2024
11 January 2024 6:57 AM EST 20 degrees 44 minutes Capricorn Capricorn can call us home to ourselves- to what we have built and what we take the time to maintain. At this new Moon, we can release any scaffolding that no longer needs to support that which is complete. We can see the strength of the structure we have built and add finishing touches. We can take some moments to review where we have been spending time and energy and see if we want to continue in the same vein. We can also see where we have been giving time and authority over to others and reclaim that power and energy. The new Moon makes an earth trine to retrograde Uranus in Taurus reminding us that our time and energy are valuable, and we can make choices about how and with whom we spend them. The Capricorn new Moon also makes a Cardinal square to the North Node and Chiron conjunct in Aries. Allow the instincts to urge us to our purpose. Let old wounds that flare up guide us to the lessons learned and take them forward to an evolved and useful state. Get what is important to you in order in preparation for the Sun and Pluto entering Aquarius on 20 January. Mercury enters Capricorn on 15 January to help organized thoughts ideas and plans. Venus enters Capricorn on 24 January to help check that the prioritized ideas and plans align with your current value system – which could also be due for new information and an overhaul. Educate yourself about local and world events. Go beyond your usual news sources and expand your world view. All is not as is presented by traditional news sources. Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, resumes forward motion on 27 January and the mind needs to be prepared for expansion. Allow space for new and different ideas and ideals. The age of Aquarius is about sharing the earthly experience for the good of all. Starting from a solid and well-considered baseline will help us to prepare for unpredictable and interesting times of change to come. Observe, educate yourself, and find a way to engage. CANCER FULL MOON 2023
26 December 7:33 PM EST 04 degrees 58 minutes Cancer Jupiter in Taurus Sextile the full Cancer Moon. Take care of your feelings with that which soothes and comforts: favorite food, tv shows, pets, and people – or no people. 😊 Capricorn tells us it is time. The Cancer full Moon is informed by our internal churning what it is time for – if we can but listen. Mars and retrograde Mercury are conjunct in Sagittarius squaring Neptune. Thoughts and motivations need to be filtered through your higher self to join with true purpose. The dreams and hopes as well as confusion - can be embraced and can help to find the way to clarity. Ask before sleeping for answers upon awakening- that kind of thing. Write down dreams and allow the symbols to filter through a meaning that is true for you. Cancer and Sagittarius are informed by feelings and intuition. Capricorn Sun is informed by structure and logic. Write down the misty, almost touchable ideas and visions. See what you really want to take shape as you see it in print. We don’t need to know or understand all at once. Follow the good feelings. They lead the way. Jupiter in Taurus resumes forward motion on 31 December making way for expansion of what we love and value in life. We have reviewed what has been taking up space in our hearts, minds and homes. The step into 2024 is a time for expansion into what we really want. Not what we think we should want. Mercury in Sagittarius resumes forward motion on 2 January again highlighting the expansion into the new, the optimistic, and the recommendation to be guided by your own inner voice to your own Truth. Venus is in Sagittarius until 24 January adding to the focus on what we DO want in our lives. Mars joins the Sun in Capricorn on 5 January inviting us to give structure to what we want taking shape in life. We can make lists, sketches, drafts, and see what we’d like to actually engage in. Happy 2024. May it be expansive in ways that fuel engagement, personal authority, creative solutions, and care for the self and our fellows. We are each having a unique AND shared experience on this planet. What happens over there does affect us over here. Lots of love to you in the personal and collective experience of human existence. 🦀🌕🐐 SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON 2023
12 December 12:32PM EST 20 degrees 40 minutes Sagittarius Mars is widely conjunct the new Moon at 13 degrees. Neptune is square the Moon and Sun at 24 Pisces. Mercury in Capricorn starts a retrograde cycle that continues until 3 January. December will be a good time to review and wrap things up in preparation for 2024. Sagittarius is a mutable sign. It is willing to throw it into the fire if it doesn’t suit the narrative. With Mercury retrograde in Capricorn it’s a good time to sift through one’s own catalogue of ideas and beliefs. Use your intuition to divide fact from fiction. It is essential to have an “I don’t know” or an “I haven’t decided yet” pile. The polarity between Gemini and Sagittarius is finding its way from raw data to useful information. Useful to you. Useful for practical decision making and life choices. The Sun/new Moon in Sagittarius are square to Neptune in Pisces. The way to affirmation/confirmation and ways to move next is through intuition. How much more information do you really need? Sometimes that is a deflection. Stop. Stand/sit/lie – whatever feels right. Feel your feet. Put one hand on the heart. Rest the other hand in a kind and comforting way on the head. Give the heart a nice pat. Allow the mind to rest and trust the Self to be informed by the Self. We do know. We really often already know. If we can be quiet for a minute and trust we can come to know the next right thought and action (if action is, indeed, required.) This is the business of Sagittarius. A new Moon is as good a time as any to practice receiving what we may already know. The Gemini info bank is inside us. The Sagittarius internal focus allows the information to be sifted, sorted and presented by the intuition in a concise packet. Thus, we remember the arrow of the archer. It has a point. J With Mars conjunct the new Moon action backing up our beliefs is called for. Mercury retrograde in Capricorn has old rhetoric up for review and discard as we see it no longer rings true. Venus in Scorpio is in opposition to Sagittarius’s ruler, Jupiter – currently in Taurus. Venus rules Taurus. We can gain further insight by remembering what it is we want, what we value, and which of our methods are in alignment with our values. Do we care about the effect our actions have on the self and others? Are we being honest with ourselves about that? We watch for self- delusion/self-deception at a Sagittarius new Moon. That’s why ideas, desires, decisions, and actions can be filtered through the intuition. If we take the time to see how we feel about things with an intention of the highest and best for self and others, we can find a way through that has integrity. What we think, say, and do has a vibration that radiates and affects all. Can we think and act in a way that allows us to sleep at night? Can we behave in a way that allows us to experience alignment with the feet, the gut, the head, and the heart? Times are calling for the individual – Venus in Scorpio – to be aware of the power that our own values can hold - and wield - for the transformation of the whole. It is advisable to tune in with the individual conscience as it will inform how we use our energy for the group. Each of our arrows of consciousness and conscience can be released in such a way as to change the world. The intuition can guide the arrows home. May all beings be peaceful. May all beings be happy. May all beings be safe. May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature. May all beings be free. 🎄🍉♐️ SCORPIO NEW MOON
13 November 2023 4:27 AM EST 20 degrees 43 minutes Scorpio Mars, the traditional ruler of Scorpio, is conjunct the Sun and Moon at this new Moon. They oppose Uranus in Taurus making for unexpected, weird, and groundbreaking ideas, emotions and actions that can alter our very reality. Mind the last step, it could be a doozy. Retrograde Neptune in Pisces is widely trining the luminaries bringing additional depth and possibilities of alterations of awareness of our very being. Mercury in Sagittarius Sextile Venus in Libra can fuel your ideas, visions and openness to the Truth. What is real and what do you just WANT to be real because it is in agreement with our beliefs or our current blueprint for life? What is really unfolding here – for us and for the group? Scorpio is unlikely to lay it all out. The blueprint will be symbols barely familiar and barely visible – glimmering in the dark. Saturn is again moving forward in Pisces to help bring symbols into form. With Scorpio you need to want to know. You need to be curious enough to get involved in your own mystery – the opening of boxes at the back of the closet. The asking of questions you’re not entirely sure you want the answer to. The clues may come in a flash of a memory half pulled from a very old dream. Neptune, Jupiter and Uranus are all still in retrograde motion. Dig deeper, maybe start a new hole or enter a new cave of discovery entirely. Ask your unconscious mind and the higher self to greet you in your dreams with a scattering of breadcrumbs for you to follow. Scorpio likes the mystery. It likes the act of finding out. It wants the quest. It wants the adventure of being transformed by the seeking – and possibly – in the finding. Remember- Scorpio deals in shared resources – stock exchanges, the nourishing or noxious air we breathe, and the collective mystery. We may sleuth in silence and apparently alone. But each tidbit unearthed, no matter how tiny and seemingly insignificant, contributes to the mosaic we are solving together. When we emerge from the cave of discovery we may be transformed – a little or a lot. Perhaps the hair went gray overnight, or we have a new bruise we can’t recall getting. The transformation may be internal and seemingly infinitesimal. But it is there – changing, growing and evolving is to new places, ideas, solutions and beliefs. We face more personal and universal Truth (beyond duality) when the Sun enters Sagittarius on 23 November. Prepare to See. Open up and Know. Lots of love, Lydia |
