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)

This post was written a year ago, in December 2020! But the horoscopes still count. So I wanted to give these horoscopes a temporary boost and stick them at the top of my blog for a few weeks.

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 2020 and will stay here till March 2023. The conjunction will take place on December 21st 2020. Every twenty years the planets Jupiter and Saturn form a conjunction. Thus, on December 21st 2020 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.

The Great Conjunction – Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius

Kepler’s Trigon. A diagram of Great Conjunctions from Johannes Kepler’s 1606 book ‘De Stella Nova’.

On December 21st, on the Winter Solstice (the day the Sun moves into Capricorn), there’s a Great Conjunction. A Great Conjunction takes place when Jupiter and Saturn meet each other. Seen from our viewpoint here on Earth, these two planets will align perfectly on December 21st 2020 1.20 pm ET / 7.20 pm CET.

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.

New Moon in Scorpio – Mars reborn

Art by Leonora Carrington

The New Moon arrives 12.07 am ET / 06.07 am CET on November 15th and will be at 23 degrees Scorpio. With the Moon in the sign of her fall, there’s a bit of discomfort to be felt. Though the Moon does well in other water signs, in Scorpio the waters are a little too dark for her taste. Scorpio adds to the intensity of emotional life. The Moon is in her fall in Scorpio and exalted in Taurus. Scorpio and Taurus form a polarity, an axis.
