Full Moon in Aquarius 2022

On August 11th at 6:35 PM PDT the Full Moon in Aquarius arrives! The Full Moon is the culmination of hopes, dreams and goals set on the New Moon in Aquarius back in February of this year. Take a stroll down memory lane and observe what your ambitions were at that time. How did you do? That was a time of taking a chance, being open minded and creating without fear. Aquarius is the sign of groups and associations, and takes us in the direction of combining our energies with others for a common goal.

Aquarius is a Fixed Air Sign. It sits in the center of the Winter season, stuck in its ways but open to suggestion! This is due to it being an Air sign, intellectual and mentally astute. It encourages us to KNOW, not just pussy foot around a subject. Aquarians make great friends as they can be trusted. Astrologers say that Aquarius is an Air Sign of high humidity, meaning it is compassionate intellect. It is a teaching sign, an energy that has arrived at conclusions and wishes to share them. They make great professors and mentors. The planet Uranus rules Aquarius, and is the activator as planets go. It is such a restless energy that it seeks out our rigidity and frustrated spirit and shakes it out of its complacency. Without Uranus rattling our cage now and then we would settle into destructive and limiting patterns.

The symbol for Aquarius is the Waterbearer, or waves of water. The pouring of the water from a reliable source and sharing it with others is the meaning. The water nourishes, like knowledge. It is bringing people into the fold, like baptism. Aquarians share their philosophy willingly. The highest use of this energy is to open up to the profound and share it with good friends. To see the family of humanity we belong to and work towards our highest manifestation.

When we have this Supermoon in Aquarius, the last one of this year, we can expect to be looking at the conflict between our proud individual self (Sun in Leo), and our team player (Moon in Aquarius). The emotions, our point of view, and the situation we are in will beg attention. There are some planetary influences exaggerating this Fixed opposition between the Sun and Moon to look at.

To begin with, the Moon is conjunct with the planet Saturn at 22 Aquarius. This tight conjunction puts a restraint on the otherwise risk taking Moon by saying “let’s break through, but cautiously.” Rather than the quick response, take time to look things over.

There is a T-Square between the Moon and Saturn in Aquarius; Mars, Uranus and the North Node in Taurus; and the Sun in Leo. The outlet for resolve lands in Taurus. Where the Sun is afflicted with Mars bringing aggression and a Me First attitude, Saturn making you feel inadequate and full of self doubt, and Uranus making you feel restless and unstable things can get difficult! Add to this the Moon and Saturn feeling the pressure from Mars as impatience with a hot temper, and Uranus making you want excitement and change. The keys to remember here are Mars in Taurus is tenacious about setting goals and achieving them. Time to be reliable and productive. Uranus in Taurus rebels against repressive attitudes and wants us to be uninhibited. So, the pressure is on to let go before it turns into an explosion of emotions. Get out of your head and make some changes happen, free yourself.

Whatever your goals were back in February, look at your life now and the associations you have made with others. Did you say what needed to be heard? Have you dealt with your relationships with others and kept yourself as an individual? Or have you lost yourself in all the chaos and forgotten YOU? Time to see where you sit in this conflict, and what you can do to remedy it. Take the high road and admit to yourself the truth, without fear, shame or blame, and chart your course for the highest version of you!

New Moon in Leo 2022

On July 28th at 10:55 AM PDT the Sun and Moon conjoin at 5 degrees Leo 39 minutes. This New Moon is a very creative one, full of potential for new directions in regards to your goals.

Leo is a powerful Fixed Fire Sign. It lands in the middle of the summer season, when it’s hot, really summer, solid and sure. It’s when you want to plant yourself in a lawn chair with a cool drink and just sit. Relax, enjoy; this time of year is built for it! Leo is the second Fire sign of the zodiac, full of fury and initiative. Leo’s energy is creative, ardent in love, full of drama and uninhibited behavior at its best. It can be over the top, when too bold and pushy. At its worst, Leo’s energy can be fickle, selfish and touchy. At its best, shining bright like the Sun in everything they do.

Leo is ruled by the Sun, the center and source of our solar system. That is the demeanor of a Leo; the center and source of their environment. With this seat comes the entitlement of authority and kingly duties. The misuse of this seat brings abuse of power and authority. The Lion is Leo’s symbol. The lion and lioness are very similar to the king and queen of the savanna. They hold court with their pride, they rule fiercely and protect theirs until their death. Leo energy inspires respect and admiration. The highest use of Leo power is to be a creative performer on life's stage. To inspire and uplift through their talents. To shine and be an example of what others can accomplish. And, to be generous with their power and give willingly without strings attached.

So when the New Moon and the Sun are together, they focus a light in one direction. This time of the year is yours to focus on your love interests and relationships, your children and all your creations. What do you still have in you to create? Now is the perfect time to dream big, take yourself beyond the limits you’ve set for yourself. Maybe before you weren't able to take the steps you can now take, however small or large they may be. You have a great opportunity to access this power as Jupiter is trine the Sun and Moon at 8 degrees Aries. This helps you to forget the past, be more agreeable and tolerant, and truly enjoy making others happy with your actions. What comes to mind is you’ve wanted your own garden, one that provides food, aroma’s and beauty to add to your life. But, you only have a patio...hmmm....How about grabbing some pots, soil and plant starts that will work with the light you have? Just an example to show you your ideas are doable, no matter how limited your space, time or money is. Creating brings joy into our lives, so stop wasting time and get started!

One glitch in the works is Mercury at 18 degrees Leo. It squares Mars in Taurus; this can make for critical thoughts, debates while not listening to others, arguments. It

opposes Saturn in Aquarius, where our minds want the facts, no abstractions. And it squares Uranus which can produce scattered reasoning and conclusions. This T-Square between these planets looks for answers in the direction of Uranus in Taurus. The last time Uranus was in Taurus was 1934-1942; a time when great changes were made in our material lives, our nation and our world. The United States was in the Depression, and entered WW2 in 1941. We seem to be in a similar situation, which can be scary and paralyzing for many. But when we look at our lives and our security, and we see how others have weathered the storms of the past, we can allow ourselves to stay creatively optimistic and flexible in how we continue on.

So on this occasion it is important to stay open minded, to gravitate toward originality. Enjoy the abundance of Summer, walk barefoot outside, take in the fragrance of the flowers and watch the butterflies:) Celebrate with others and show the love you have inside of you.

Super Full Moon in Capricorn 2022

On July 13th, 2022 at 11:37 AM PDT the Sun (Cancer) and Moon (Capricorn) oppose each other at 21 degrees 21 minutes. This is the second Super Full Moon this year, and one more to come in August. This is a powerful event as here we are looking at home and family opposite careers and reputation. With the current news cycles we are all set up for this one. How do we balance these polar opposites and move forward?

Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign. It is the sign that rules the 10th Solar month of the year, and the 10th house of the zodiac. This house begins with the Midheaven and speaks of what your career choice will be. This Cardinal sign begins the winter season, and with authority and strength leads the way. It is an Earth sign, grounded in reality and driven to produce something of value in the world. Its driving nature is embodied by the sea goat, the symbol for Capricorn, as it climbs steep passages to find sustenance and what it needs to survive, and can also dive to the depths. The ruling planet for Capricorn is Saturn, the taskmaster. This no-nonsense planet reminds us of our responsibilities and goals.

So when we have a Super Full Moon in this sign, we are looking at the culmination of what we have set for ourselves to accomplish, and whether or not we’ve achieved our goals. Conjunct the Moon is Pluto at 27 degrees Capricorn. We may have to admit our shortcomings here, as Pluto insists we release our excuses and transform our outlook. Together these two can uproot some intense hidden emotions that stir up feelings that need resolving. There can be a tendency to manipulate the situation, going silent or not admitting our part in a problem. Stick to the truth and accept the consequences. We can use this time to awaken our better selves, the one that learns from mistakes and doesn’t blame others for our own behavior.

Do you take the high road or the low road? At this time in history, there are agendas, plans for humanity that we didn’t make, and big changes in the playing field. Don’t let that be a deterrent and keep you from your goals. Sure, you may have to take a different approach than you hoped for, but you can still move forward. If you take the high road, you accept the reality of today's world and see your path within it. You don’t let yourself stop because of what others say or tell you to do. You explore new avenues. If you take the low road, you don’t feel responsibilities need fulfilling and you bend the rules to benefit yourself. Then you stay stuck in your misery, and tell others that you are a victim of circumstances.

The Moon is trine Uranus at 18 degrees Taurus. This is a blessing in that it bestows an uninhibited, spontaneous mood that seeks to find the unexpected or humorous in order to loosen people up and get them out of their rut. You will crave emotional stimulation, excitement, surprises, and anything new. You’ll love to feel free and unfettered. This will help with the otherwise heavy emotional toil.

In considering how to balance our home and family and our career potential, we begin with our set of circumstances. We see the challenges ahead, but if we consider how a mountain goat can climb the rocky cliffs and reach its destination, we see it’s all about being surefooted. Taking one risky step after another, finding our balance and continuing up the mountain. We may slide back, but once we gain our footing the climb becomes doable. We can use this time to take inventory of our situation and draw a new map to our target.

At times lately it seems there are those who want us to fail, who want us to suffer. I believe there is a grand fork in the road. One leads to fulfillment and the other to surrender. I for one choose fulfillment. Whatever your situation is, I encourage you to have strength in the face of pain or grief. To let go of your old existence and climb the mountain to the pinnacle. Whatever you do, whoever you are, you can improve yourself and your life! The key is balance.
