FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS MAY 31st

You may have seen it already rising and growing... this weekend we have a Full Moon at 9º Sagittarius 56’.

Full Moons are times of culmination in which things are brought to some sort of culmination or completion. We see the results and consequences of decisions made and actions taken in the past. Things are brought out. They rise to the surface. All the feelings, all the things that had been simmering on the back burners of our lives.

URANUS at the BENDING of the NODES
& MARS square PLUTO

Now that Uranus has entered Gemini it is poised to make an exact square to the Nodes of the Moon. These are the sacred eclipse points that have much to do with our evolutionary growth and purpose. Uranus here can feel a bit like chaos. Change can be swift and sudden. But know that there is a purpose here. And we are all being swept along on the tide.

THE NEW MOON IN TA**US May 16th

On May 16th we have a New Moon in Ta**us, a sign associated with peace, security and stability, which is something that we are all yearning for in these times of uncertainty. It is also when we pay homage to the Earth, our Mother. May she continue to thrive in all her glory.

New Moons are times of potential and new beginnings. The New Moon in Ta**us on Saturday is an opportunity to restore some of that much needed peace, safety and security that Ta**us is known for. May it be so, as we can anticipate a few surprising changes over the next few weeks (which we will address in the next post). The New Moon in Ta**us can serve as our anchor, bringing us that safety, security and peace even in the midst of change.

NEW MOON IN ARIES

On Friday, April 17th, we have a super-charged New Moon in Aries. If we count the centaur Chiron, there will be a total of 7 planets and luminaries in the sign of Aries. 8 if you throw in Mars’s sister Eris. That’s an abundance of Aries, just searing with new beginnings, high octane energy and zest.

Aries, Aries, and more Aries

When there are more than 3 planets in a sign, we refer to this as a stellium. Another way to say this, is that there is an abundance of planets all piled up in one sign!

This week we have a large stellium (5 planets + Chiron) in the fiery, assertive (and some days aggressive) sign of Aries. Feisty and bold, if we can just channel a wee bit of this energy, we can take on even the most extraordinary challenges.

Check out this week’s horoscopes (link in the comments) to see where all that Aries energy is being focused for your sign.

FULL PINK MOON IN LIBRA
SATURN SEXTILE PLUTO
& RESURRECTION

Rather than being dissuaded by the fears and old demons that can hover about Saturn and Pluto transits, this week they are asking us to channel their powerful capacity for transformation within our personal lives. We can change habits, renovate a home, rebuild our lives, and find resurrection. All the more so in the light of the Full Pink Moon in Libra this week, which aims to restore the balance, and find peace. We could use quite a bit of that right now.
