This week's New Moon is the first of two Leo New Moons in a row. The following Leo New Moon on August 21 (11:30 AM PDT 28° Leo) will be the much touted Full Solar Eclipse (visible in North America). Insofar as the two lunar cycles are connected by sign, we should expect that the journey that is initiated this week will be extended into the next lunar cycle as well. This week begins with a highly precipitous Leo New Moon (2:45 AM PDT 0° Leo) on the Cancer-Leo Cusp conjunct a particularly [...]
Although the Moon is waning in light this week, the Mars-Uranus square keeps the energy ramped up until at least mid-week. There are strong urges to grab the reigns and gain mastery and control over situations and external circumstances. However, by the end of the week, it is increasingly apparent that it is our inner world that needs our attention. The emotional/intellectual duality that is at work this week can be seen in a sincere intellectual curiosity that is seeking to gain a view from above that gives a [...]
The challenge of unexpected or sudden change — either devastating or beneficial — may not be fully realized until we reach the adjustment phase when we are forced to adapt or adjust to whatever change or transformation we have passed through. This week is a week of adjustment, following last week's transformational Full Moon (July 8th, 9:06 PM PDT 17° Capricorn/Cancer). The temptation is to look for technical answers or procedures. We'd like to find the right technique that will allow us to efficiently adapt, restore a sense of surety, and simply move on. [...]
The last New Moon (June 23, 2° Cancer) produced some profound creative inspiration and may have also encouraged us to expand the boundaries of what we consider 'Our Family'. While our perspective may have broadened, we need to stay focused on what is within our personal power to change. Whatever challenges that surfaced from the building Mars-Pluto standoff last week are released and cleansed through some deeply powerful and regenerative Grand Water Trines that begin the week. As we approach this Saturday's Capricorn Full Moon [...]
The creative energy and determination builds all week as Mars approaches an intense opposition to Pluto. Oppositions require us to find balance. This week, that balance is most likely to be found by establishing a channel for a creative outlet of some kind. The Mars/Pluto opposition will not culminate until the beginning of next week. However, Mercury conjuncts Mars this week, ahead of a mid-week standoff with Pluto. Mercury in Cancer can [...]
