Full Moon in Leo

The Full Moon arrives at 9 degrees Leo on January 28th 2.16 pm ET / 8.16 pm CET. The Moon shines glorious in the sign of Leo, as she reflects the light of the Sun, the ruler of Leo, who will be conjunct the greater benefic Jupiter. 

The Full Moon in Leo shines opposite of a gathering of planets in Aquarius (the Sun, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury). The Moon is the body that moves through the twelve zodiacal signs in just 28 days. We tap into the Moon in our chart when we cope with daily life, when we emote and regulate. The Moon, in mundane astrology, helps to regulate the different planetary ‘influences’. As she circles around the Earth, she’s our satellite, antenna and buffer. She’s the Mother that protects us, cares for us closely. As a bunch of planets have gathered in Aquarius (and Venus will enter Aquarius soon too), this Full Moon in Leo reflects what Aquarius season is and will be about. Mercury will station retrograde, two days after the Full Moon, and travel backwards through the sign Aquarius. Venus will enter Aquarius soon, and by then all personal planets (except Mars) will be gathered in Aquarius. There will be a big emphasis on the parts of our charts that contain Aquarius, from the end of January until mid February. This emphasis has been building up since mid December. The Full Moon in Leo reflects the opening scene of the play that is about to unfold.

New Moon in Capricorn – The Future is Female

Samantha in Sex and the City

Samantha is a Capricorn boss lady. Demanding, stubborn, self-sufficient and always right. She leads and doesn’t follow, except maybe in the bedroom. The archetype Capricorn is often described as hard working, disciplined, boring, in love with money, strict, practical and mature. However, once you get to know a Capricorn, you’ll discover that this archetype is actually not boring at all. Capricorns (Sun, Moon and rising) tend to have a good / dark sense of humor. Capricorns aren’t afraid of the occult and the dark, and they know all about power. Capricorns actually are very intuitive, as an earth sign this archetype is grounded but the tail of the sea-goat dips into intuitive waters. Ruled by Saturn this archetype is knowledgeable on life. At best, Capricorn expresses itself as knowledgable on life and dedicated to create societal structures that serve humanity. At worst this archetype expresses itself as supportive of patriarchy and capitalism.

Full Moon in Cancer – and an elaborate forecast for the start of 2021

Art: Selene by Albert Aublet (1880)

The Full Moon in Cancer arrives on December 29th 10.28 pm ET / December 30th 4.28 am CET. The Full Moon will be at 8 degrees Cancer. 

This is the first time in three years that the Full Moon in Cancer isn’t opposed by Saturn. Saturn entered Capricorn in December 2017. Saturn left Capricorn and moved into Aquarius earlier this month. Thus, this is the first Full Moon in Cancer in three years that isn’t opposed by Saturn. Which is really nice! Also; eclipse season is finished and this is the first Full Moon in a while that isn’t shadowed. Which is really nice too!

Horoscopes for Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius (Mid Dec. 2020 – March 2023)

The Water Bearer (Aquarius) by Astroccult

These horoscopes are written for Saturn in Aquarius and the Jupiter x Saturn conjunction. Saturn enters Aquarius on December 17th and will stay here till March 2023. The conjunction will take place on December 21st. Every twenty years the planets Jupiter and Saturn form a conjunction. Thus, on December 21st we enter a new Jupiter x Saturn cycle. In the past 200 years these conjunctions have taken place in earth signs. Now, we enter a new 200 year cycle of Jupiter x Saturn conjunctions taking place in air signs. Whenever Saturn changes signs, we enter a new chapter. Whenever Jupiter and Saturn form a conjunction, we enter an even more impactful chapter. In this article you can read all about it. These horoscopes are meant to give you an idea of what this means for you personally. These horoscopes give you insight on topics that will ask for your attention in the upcoming two plus years. Certain areas of your life will restructure in the upcoming two plus years, and these areas will never be the same again.

New Moon in Sagittarius – Total Solar Eclipse

Art by Devany Amber Wolfe

The upcoming week is packed with a lot of major astrological events. The New Moon arrives on December 14th 11.16 am ET / 5.16 pm CET at 23 degrees Sagittarius. This New Moon is a Total Solar eclipse. This is a big event. A few days later, two slow moving planets, Saturn and Jupiter, will change signs. Saturn has been in Capricorn for three years. Jupiter has been in Capricorn for one year. So, these are not daily and these are unique transits. On top of that, these two planets will form a conjunction. They form a conjunction every twenty years, so that’s quite rare. On top of that, they will now start to form conjunctions in air signs, while in the past 200 years the conjunctions took place in earth signs. In other words, we will enter a new 200 year chapter. This conjunction takes place on the day of the Winter Solstice, when the Sun enters Capricorn. This week is packed with major shifts! A Solar eclipse, the Winter Solstice and a Great Conjunction. The year is going out with a bang!

Full Moon in Gemini – Penumbral Lunar eclipse

‘Lovers’ by Remedios Varo, inspired by Tarot. The Lovers card in Tarot is related to the sign Gemini.

This Full Moon is an eclipse. The Penumbral Lunar Eclipse arrives on November 30th 4.30 am ET / 10.30 am CET at 8 degrees Gemini.

Whenever a Full Moon or a New Moon takes place in close enough proximity to the nodes of the Moon, an eclipse takes place. The North Node is at 19 degrees Gemini and the South Node is at 19 degrees Sagittarius. The nodes are squared by Neptune at 18 degrees Pisces. Neptune stations direct a little more than a day before the Full Moon arrives. Neptune tends to place a surreal fog over the things he touches, and his touch is extra intense at the moment since he just stationed direct. Neptune tends to decrease our ability for clear thinking and increases our thirst for ecstasy. For example; when Neptune touches Venus one may actually get blinded by love. Neptune grows our lust and decreases our IQ points. That’s not the say that Neptune can’t bring good stuff. Sometimes we need to shut down our mind in order to enter astral planes.
