The New Moon arrives on May 11th 2.59 pm ET / 8.59 pm CET at 21 degrees Taurus. The Full Moon in Scorpio from two weeks ago was an intense one. We’re approaching eclipse season with the first eclipse of this Summer arriving at the end of May. This New Moon in Taurus is the calm between two storms.

I often use the word intense, when it comes to describing transits. Maybe I use it too much, because now I’m afraid the word intense has lost its meaning. This Full Moon is intense. The Full Moon in Scorpio arrives on April 26th 11.31 pm ET / April 27th 5.31 am CET at 7 degrees Scorpio. There’s a LOT that goes on in the heavens above when the Full Moon arrives.

The New Moon arrives on April 11th 10.30 pm ET / 12th 4.30 am CET at 22 degrees Aries. This is an active New Moon. The Moon is under the ruling of Mars. Mars is in Gemini, the sign of the ever moving twins, separating from a conjunction with the North Node and supported by trine by Jupiter. The Moon is also connected with Jupiter, by sextile, and connected with Mars, also by sextile. In other words, there are some supportive connections here, which is nice. The Gemini and Aries vibes make this an active New Moon (and the North Node adds some activity too). Hence the title of this article: go go go. There’s lots of stuff going on. The Moon is digesting a lot of input. This Full Moon wants you to go out and achieve. This is a New Moon ‘to do’, not one to relax. This is a good New Moon for work, sports, debating. This is a New Moon to work on your goals.

The Full Moon arrives on March 28th 3.48 pm ET / 8.48 pm CET at 8 degrees Libra. Venus, the ruler of this Full Moon, will be conjunct the Sun at 8 degrees Aries. The conjunction of Venus and the Sun is exact on the 26th of March at 5 degrees Aries, two days before the Full Moon arrives, thus the conjunction is separating with the Full Moon.
Venus conjunct the Sun means that she’s being burned by the Sun. As Venus starts a new cycle, and goes through her rebirthing process, she needs to do so in the sign of her detriment (Aries). Venus in Aries is on unfamiliar grounds. Aries is a fire sign. Venus likes cooler surroundings. Thus, in at least two ways, Aphrodite is being burned. Matters of love and relating might feel challenging at the moment. Venus’s process is, however, one of purification. Every negative comes with a positive. When Venus finishes her journey of purification, and when Venus is in Taurus later this Spring, the Goddess of Love will be and feel reborn.

A lovely alignment occurs in Pisces when the Moon finishes her cycle and starts a new one. When the Moon journeys through Pisces later this week, she meets up with Venus and Neptune after which she conjuncts the Sun. The New Moon occurs on March 13th 5.21 am ET / 11.21 am CET at 23 degrees Pisces, with Venus at 19 degrees Pisces and Neptune at 20 degrees Pisces.
This is a lovely New Moon, for connection and relaxation. Carve out time in your calendar for a relaxing ritual bath, intimate romantic night or for drinking wine with friends. Or if you want to go a step further; spirit work, tantra, LSD, the like. This New Moon is about your relationships. Your relationships to your friends / lovers / spirits / gods and goddesses, whoever or whatever comes to mind as you read the word relationships. How do you relate to that entity? Have your feelings or thoughts on this relationship changed since Pisces season started? Venus in her sign of exaltation, combust the Sun (meaning she’s super close to the Sun) and conjunct Neptune; Aphrodite is releasing old relationship baggage and gaining clarity where there was confusion.

The Moon becomes full when she’s opposite of the Sun. It’s Pisces season, which means that the Full Moon takes place in Virgo (the sign opposite of Pisces). Pisces is the mutable water sign that’s ruled by Jupiter. During Pisces season, the Sun illuminates the parts of our charts that contain Pisces. Pisces naturally swims into the depths of the ocean. This sign is intuitive. This sign feeeels. This sign has a longing; a longing to merge with the water, with the creatures of the ocean, with the corals, with the sand.
Pisces wants to merge with the divine and wants to transcend the mundane. Pisces transcends by merging with the Other. The Other may be a deity. The Other may also be nature. The Other may be found in a person, maybe via sex. The Other may also be found with support of a substance like alcohol or LSD. Pisces often seeks intoxication, either by love or drugs, or both. Pisces has a deep need to become One. The two fishes want to become one. The two fishes are in fact one. Together they are one sign. The fishes are just not aware of it.
