"Sweet, crazy conversations full of half sentences, daydreams and misunderstandings more thrilling than understanding could ever be"

Genius is stirred by this Wednesday's Aquarius New Moon (4:35 AM PST 9° Aquarius), tinged with creativity, inspiration, and intuition. We also find notes of defiance and a sense of destiny that drives independent activity. The blending of intellect and intuition is exhilarating but the New Moon's trine to Jupiter can drive our expectations and optimism to potentially unattainable levels.

The Cancer Full Moon (2:26 PM PST 23° Cancer/Capricorn) on Monday of this week is extremely potent and full of both breakthroughs and breakdowns. But it isn't an ending. Only a preparatory step toward a new beginning. The Full Moon sextiles Uranus. As well, the Sun completes a trine to Uranus only hours before the Full Moon.

The breakthroughs may be quite visionary, while the breakdowns are likely to be quite unexpected and may even seem to [...]

Saturn and Neptune will dance over the Pisces/Aries cusp in 2025 and Uranus will cross back and forth over the Taurus/Gemini Cusp.

This week, the lunar nodes are activating the Aries/Pisces and Libra/Virgo cusps before moving into the Pisces (North Node)/Virgo (South Node) axis next week. The new positions will emphasize the value of deeper connection, compassion, and faith. The Capricorn New Moon (2:26 PM PST 9° Capricorn) on Monday is given only 'distant' guidance from a wide-orb sextile to Saturn, ruling Capricorn, and a [...]
