Or how to meet fate for a necessary transformation!

On October 25th, at 10.48 PM (GMT), the Sun and the Moon will be sitting together at 2° in the sign of Scorpio creating a very intense New Moon. It is also a partial solar eclipse (as the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun) and this New Moon occurs in Scorpio, the sign ruling the South Node (aka soul contracts and karma) since January 18th, 2022. And to spice up this already pungent cocktail, Venus will be conjunct both the Sun and the Moon on October 25th bringing a zest of emotional questioning. Did we think we would have it easy? No. Are we freaking out? A bit.
How can we deal (or stay more or less sane) with this celestial event?
Scorpio is a very profound and powerful sign: it dives deep into the abyss of the psyche to spring back renewed and refreshed. However, the journey is rarely an easy one and something must be left or even given up in order to come back properly. An eclipse on top of that intensity makes things even deeper, as the word eclipse itself comes from the Greek word ekleipo, meaning to abandon. This New Moon is associated with fate: new beginnings will take place for sure and if you’re not eager to clean up and get ready for them, destiny will do the job. So what should be left behind or removed for us to transform and become better versions of ourselves?
In which area of your life will this New Moon Solar Eclipse impact you? Which sector will be energetically purged? Where will we feel a massive transformation? Take a look at your Sun, Moon, Ascendant and Venus signs to get some insight.
Aries: shared finances or resources, taxes, partner’s possessions, sexuality, regeneration
Taurus: relationships, partnerships, contracts, marriage or divorce, justice
Gemini: daily work and service, mundane tasks, routine, physical health, pets

On October 9th at 9.54 pm UTC, the Moon will be at 16° of Aries, opposing the Sun at 16° of Libra. In other words, the skies give us a potent Full Moon in Aries. As you may already know (or feel!), Full Moons represent the climax of a moon cycle and they shine bright on certain areas of our lives to help us implement healthy changes or habits. They always bring their lot of emotions and tension: what has changed since we started the cycle? What has been fulfilled? What is yet to come?
This particular Full Moon is happening in Aries, highlighting the Aries/Libra axis. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, the initiator of all things, the momentum we all need is also the sign of the self and the ego On the opposite side of the wheel stands Libra, the sign of relations, justice, social equality and diplomacy. When we decode the stars language, this lunar event invites us to ponder: how do we express ourselves (Aries) in our relationships (Libra)? How can the ‘I am’ (Aries) find harmony in social interactions (Libra)? How can our power (Aries) support fairness and equity (Libra)?
Keeping these general questions in mind, here are the horoscopes for each zodiac sign. As always, take a look at your big 3 (Sun, Ascendant and Moon signs!)
Aries: This Full Moon is happening in your sector of identity, ego, deep sense of self. This is a beautiful time to assert yourself and take action in any area of your life you’ve been feeling stuck or stagnant. The momentum is here and it’s real so take that leap of faith or at least the first baby steps towards your dreams! You hold the power to make things manifest into your reality, don’t doubt yourself and be bold! You won’t regret it!
Taurus: The Full Moon is here to switch on the light of your subconscious, deeply rooted beliefs, far away dreams and self-undoing. It may feel uncomfortable because the Moon is asking you to face some of your hidden subconscious fears or patterns: where have you been self-sabotaging your progress? What actions can you take to connect your inner spiritual life with a pragmatic and tangible approach?
Gemini: This lunation is all about friendships, social interactions, goal setting and your future self. You may be busy at that time, playing the social butterfly and meeting new people! Any new encounter could prove quite beneficial for your future plans and some interactions might bring the info that was missing for you to achieve something. Listen, be open to various points of view and don’t judge too hastily!
Cancer: The Full Moon appears in your career and social status sector, inviting you to finally communicate your needs and start afresh. You can be whoever you want and your professional life will benefit a bold move. Don’t hide and ask yourself: what do you want to achieve professionally? What are your strong skills and how can you use them now? What kind of training do you need to climb the ladder? The time is right to boost any professional venture!
Leo: Your approach to life, philosophy, higher education or even religious beliefs is highlighted. The Full Moon may have you think deeply about the world with the idea of changing it for the better. Aries being a friendly sign to yours, you might feel very ready to confront various ideas and concepts and learn a lot about different philosophies of life. You could even have a light-bulb or Eureka moment and finding answers to an old question. If you can, travel or go on an adventure, it will do wonders!
Virgo: This Full Moon occurs in your sector of shared resources and money, intimacy and the everlasting cycle of death and rebirth. La Luna is clearly asking you to look closely at your shared resources: is equality at the center of your finances? What changes could you implement to start afresh or on a clean slate in your intimate relationships? You have the strength to face that and to readjust or reinforce your position in these areas.
Libra: The Aries Full Moon is happening in your sector of partnerships, contracts, social relationships and diplomacy. You may have felt under pressure lately, overwhelmed with giving too much of your energy and being out of balance and alignment. This lunation invites you to recenter and refocus on yourself. If you feel great, your innate sense of diplomacy will be flowing and any partnership will benefit that! Time to readjust your time, energy and identity so you can bring harmony to your relationships.
Scorpio: La luna shines bright on your daily life, tasks, work and health: are you paying enough attention to yourself and your needs or do you work automatically to avoid something? The way we approach each day can be fulfilling or detrimental, especially when we ignore our needs. This Full Moon is a friendly reminder: your health is essential, you matter! Is there balance between you personal and professional life? If not, it’s time to put some boundaries in place and gift yourself some well-deserved ‘me time’.
Sagittarius: This Full Moon is happening in your romance, love and creativity area and it feels very comfy in your sign. How enjoyable it is when you follow your intuition and inspiration! If you have felt stuck, uninspired or lacking creativity, this is the moment to reconnect to what you love. Have a date with yourself first: where in your life could you bring more pleasure? And if your heart is taken, you could have a pleasant conversation and a great time with your other half! Any relation with children can improve significantly if you give them space to be themselves!
Capricorn: Your home, family and matriarchal relationships sector is under the spotlight with this Full Moon. You might have been quite shy to express yourself or may have felt trapped in your home or in a role among your family members. The Moon is whispering to you the word authenticity. It is safe to be yourself and to feel comfy and cosy at home so please, take any action towards these goals, you won’t be disappointed! From heartfelt conversations to home interior improvement, you’ll feel ease and simplicity enter your life.
Aquarius: La luna is settling in your communication, short trips, neighbours and siblings sector. Whether it’s with siblings, cousins, neighbours or local shop owners, the way you interact is essential: your quick-wit and out-of-the-box thinking will be noticed and remembered. Any written or oral communication is very beneficial and your ideas may reach people further than you can imagine. Conversations will be flowy and pleasant and any short trip could be fruitful, especially a last minute booked one!
Pisces: This Full Moon is here to remind you that material possessions and self-worth are as necessary as a rich and intense spiritual life! It’s okay to approach life in a more tangible or pragmatic manner and you’re invited to assert yourself in areas that are normally too down-to-earth for you. Don’t forget that it takes the mind, the body and the soul to fully experience life on Planet Earth. If you’ve been contemplating purchasing something for a long time, it could be nice to finally buy it (if you have the means!), it will bring pleasure to your senses!
Wishing all you of you a happy Full Moon, may the skies support your actions and real self!
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
On September 25th, the Moon and the Sun will be conjunct at 3° (9.54 pm UT) in the sign of Libra, meaning we’ll have a New Moon in Libra.
New Moons have always been associated with new cycles, fresh intentions and seeds. The skies of a new moon are dark: they represent all the work we have to do behind the scenes before the lights of a full moon can be switched on. We may not always see clearly but we are asked to keep going with faith and everything will align for us, at the right time. This is the preparation stage, the rehearsal preceding the premiere!
What about the archetype of Libra?
The scales of Themis, the Greek Primordial Goddess of Justice are always balanced, for nothing extreme is right. Fairness and truth are at the very core of this archetype. Libra at its best stands for beauty, diplomacy, harmony, justice, contracts, relationships and equality (after all, the Sun enters Libra to signal the Autumn Equinox!). And at its least favourable moments, it’s all about indecision, deceit, superficiality and inconsistency.
This New Moon in Libra is inviting us to reflect on what has been complicated, disorienting or where we have overindulged and given too much or too little. Time to readjust, form new (better!) plans and strategies, plant fresh seeds and take the first steps towards a goal.
As an Air Sign, Libra is also about objective thinking and examining various ideas. Here is a non exhaustive list of questions that could be interesting for this lunation:
What parts of my life are out of balance ?
Where do I find harmony on a daily basis?
Are my relationships based on fairness and equality? Do I give too much of my resources? Not enough?
In which area of my life could I use diplomacy to improve a situation?
If I were to start afresh, how would I act to bring peace, cohesion and unity in my life?
May this New Moon in Libra gift you serenity, equality and pleasant relationships!
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.

On September 10th, 09:59 UTC (adapt to your timezone accordingly), the Moon will be at 17° of Pisces, opposing the Sun at 17° of Virgo. Both signs enjoy being of help or service and this Full Moon shines bright on matters of spiritual health and empathy. This culmination point brings its basket of emotions and dreams and could very well make us want to shift realities or bathe in nostalgia. It’s essential at this time to stay grounded (shower, self-care and all that jazz) if we want to make the most of our imagination or visions!
Full Moons are very often described as intense and emotional and this particular one is no exception. Pisces rules liminal spaces, heavenly matters, deep emotions, spirituality, transcendence, escapism and universal consciousness (among other topics). A Full Moon in the mix gives you a whimsical and almost intoxicating energy.
This weekend, more than ever, get a tarot reading, use your intuition in daily tasks, write, get creative, sleep more than usual if you need it – these enchanting moments will be very insightful for they connect you to a well of universal awareness! Light bulb moments or missing pieces of your life’s puzzle could magically appear in your reality.
In which areas of your life will the Full Moon shine? Take a look at your Sun, Moon and Rising signs to get some insight. General piece of advice: be kind.
Aries: What happens in the shadows? You may feel a bit unclear or foggy, please don’t rush, this is a time for observation more than movement. Deep feelings could emerge, be kind to yourself and rest. Action doesn’t always bring answers, sit, meditate and be present. A little TLC goes a long way.
Taurus: Friends and social circles are highlighted for you. You may meet people or have new ideas that are quite different from your habitual self. Explore these uncharted territories with an open-mind! Go slow but wish for progress and lead with your heart. Newness brings the gift of creativity. Your artistic soul is ignited again.
Gemini: Your career sector is in the spotlight. What do you really want to do? What dreams have you put aside for too long? How do you want to be seen? Are you satisfied with your public status? This Full Moon asks you to dream a new public image and manifest it in your reality. If you can feel it, you can do it.
Cancer: Philosophical questions are in order with this Full Moon! Which higher beliefs or ideas do you want to explore? It’s time to go on an intellectual adventure outside your comfort zone and traditional perceptions. You may find gems on the way. Don’t rush mental processes but dare to be bold! Fresh perspectives open and it feels exciting.
Leo: Close relationships and intimacy are on centre stage this weekend. The way you interact with your other half could change drastically. It is safe to be compassionate and to listen to the needs of the ones around you. Shared resources could improve with creative ideas or solutions! More heart, less pride. Be authentic, it will help in the long run.
Virgo: What about less practicality and more dreaminess in your relationships or partnerships? This Full Moon in Pisces invites you to feel more than you analyze. Let intuition be your guide, you won’t be disappointed. Release control, relax and enjoy reconnecting with your partners through imagination.
Libra: What brings you a sense of fulfillment at work or in your daily habits? Is everything pleasing and/or rewarding? If you have some tedious tasks to complete, do the work and be practical. If questions about your well-being and work/life balance arise, be honest and let your heart speak. It knows best. Be pragmatic in your actions and introspective in your analysis.
Scorpio: Fun and romance are your birthrights and if life has been hectic or full of chores lately, this Full Moon invites you to reconnect with your inner child: play, dream, fall in love with you and your projects and have a try with any creative endeavour. How can you diffuse more joy into your life? What a great day it can be when you allow yourself to be and live!
Sagittarius: Home is where your heart is. It may sound corny but this Full Moon strongly highlights your home, your lineage, your relationships with or as a mother or daughter. Where do you belong, where is your happy place? Where and with whom do you feel the most comfortable? This weekend, connect with your ancestors, cook your favourite meal and relax in your safe space. Being cosy in a cocoon is all you need.
Capricorn: Even though you thrive in tangible, down to earth approaches, you have a very emotional side! Time to use it, get creative and infuse your conversations with imagination and artistry. Trust your intuition when it comes to communication. Listen to what people have to say and if you must answer, do it gently. Connect ideas with empathy and show your compassionate side, you won’t regret it.
Aquarius: Material abundance, self-worth, personal finances are significant during this Full Moon. All that glitters in not gold and your idea of value takes a new shape with la luna in Pisces. Which parts of your soul have you forgotten? Reconnect with your humanitarian side and instinct and try a more creative and emotional approach to your material desires. Your worth is also in your heart, this weekend, feel things!
Pisces: Time to shine like a diamond Pisces! This is your Full Moon and all your qualities are illuminated. Be yourself, dream, love, enjoy your spiritual side, dive deep in the great mystery of life and don’t apologize. It’s the perfect moment to deal with life in an empathetic and caring manner. Your intuition is heightened, you might experience synchronicities or even paranormal events. You may feel extra sensitive and perhaps exhausted, make sure you have some room to breathe and relax.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
Mercury retrogrades are nothing to be feared despite their recently gained importance! Over the last few years, we’ve had lots of information about this particular movement, infused with the common fears of signing contracts, having troubles communicating or even travelling! Although there’s some truth in all of that, let us not forget that Mercury is going retrograde three times a year (and you survived it!) so time for us to debunk the myth or at least have an alternative approach to that celestial event!
Planets in retrograde can be seen as a request from the Universe to look inward and reflect in order to gain knowledge or perspective about a situation. During retrogrades, the world around us appears foggy: neither answers nor clarity can be found outside! Mercury represents the way we communicate and interact with others and while in retrograde, the fast-moving planet asks us to examine and ponder on the words we use in our daily conversations (including our inner dialogue).
Mercury will be in retrograde from September 9 to September 23 in the sign of Libra and from September 23 to October 2 in the sign of Virgo. What does it mean? An how can we make the most of it? Here are a few tips that will hopefully guide you through this event. In true Libra and Virgo fashion, partnerships, agreements/commitments, daily habits and work are strongly highlighted!
Review everything that has been in the back of your mind or even bothering you
Take a good look into contracts or agreements before signing them and don’t hesitate to ask if anything is unclear
Take your time with relationships or partners and communicate as simply and clearly as possible
Reassess your organisation in all areas (home, work, finances…)
Have a copy or a back up for your files
Refocus on you priorities: what’s essential in your life? how good is your work-life balance?
Regroup your energy, retrogrades can be tiring
Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Or how to speak less and dive into your intuition!
Wednesday is always dedicated to Mercury and its qualities but with the Moon now in the sign of intense and intuitive Scorpio, time to listen to your gut instinct!
The moon in Scorpio invites us to dig deep into our psyche, feel intensely and listen carefully to our intuition or nudges. It requires us to approach this day with a good balance between heart and head: communication is not always verbal and some words could be misunderstood. Today more than ever, silence is gold!
As intense emotions can rise up to the surface, be kind to yourself and try to sit with them, you may discover real gems, solutions or answers in the depths of your heart.

As the Virgo season settles down deeply with this New Moon, several aspects that are essential to our well being emerge. New moons are always a good time to start afresh, get ready, do the work, think a project deeply and plan. This is especially true when the Moon is in Virgo, the sign of organisation, cleanliness and health among other things.
What does it mean practically?
Well, if the holidays (or Leo season!!) made you overindulge in all good things that life has to offer (hello cocktails, desserts and parties all night), this is the perfect time to readjust and get back to healthy habits! Your body and mind will thank you and it will help you deal with the ‘back-to-school/work/routine’ mood that’s just around the corner!
So, to make the most of this fantastic lunation, here are a few tips that will hopefully help you!
Stay hydrated, water is so cleansing!
Cut the crap out (quite literally, junk food, sodas, you know!) and try to eat healthy homemade meals and lots of fruits.
Try as much as possible to swap coffee for herbal teas!
Make a list of things you want to declutter or sort out, this is the right time!
Gift your body a nice massage and/or implement a new skincare routine.
Try to stretch your body, do some yoga or pilates to feel good and refreshed.
Clean your place and smudge it, energetic reset couldn’t be better this weekend!
Take a look at your finances and budget for the coming months.
Wishing you a very happy New Moon, new intentions and a clean slate ready to welcome the new you!
Our bodies are our gardens, to which our wills are gardeners.
This Super Full Moon is closing the cycle of the 2022’s super moons with a bang and lots of electricity!
The Moon in Aquarius is opposing the Sun in Leo and will be playing the perfect symphony when the Moon reaches 19° of Aquarius, on August 12th, 01.35 GMT.
Why is this Super Moon so crucial for us?
Full Moons represent a time of letting go, turning a page or closing a chapter. They gather the energies of the lunar cycle in a bright climax before a New Moon emerges. They always feel quite emotional and this one is particularly potent: it’s a Super Full Moon! The feels on steroids…
This Super Full Moon is also forming a square with Uranus in Taurus (and more loosely with the North Node and Mars) which brings its lot of tension and friction.
In these tense skies and right after the heavy energies of the Lion’s Gate Portal, we may feel drained, exhausted or might be craving some foods. The impact on our physical body is no joke but as everything in life, there’s always a valuable side to it! The Aquarius Super Full Moon is a revolutionary and eccentric player that pushes us towards our dreams, as long as we keep our mind open, progressive and focussed on humanitarianism. It invites us to look deep inside our psyche with authenticity and the willingness to improve ourselves and the world around us and to take the first steps towards our goals without doubts or constant inner criticism. Time is only wasted when we procrastinate for too long. The skies are supportive, now is a great time for starting what you want to create or work on! Remember that Aquarius is the sign of unconventionality, innovation and freedom!
The one and only you
This Super Full Moon will impact us differently, here are the highlighted areas for each zodiac sign (please look at your big 3: Ascendant, Sun and Moon!)
Aries: social connections, hopes and dreams
Taurus: career, public image
Gemini: higher education, learning, travels
Cancer: shared resources, rebirth of self, transformation
Leo: partnerships, relationships
Virgo: physical health, services, daily work
Libra: creativity, kids, fertility
Scorpio: home, domestic environment, family members
Today is probably one of the most important dates of the year. The Lion’s Gate Portal, an annual cosmic event, reaches its climax on August 8th.
This is a very energetic moment, the skies are quite tense and Sirius, the brightest star aligns with the Sun to create a divine gate of possibilities.
The Sun is in flamboyant and fiery Leo, the Moon in powerful and strong Sagittarius so the Fire element is strong and activated. On the other hand, Venus, the planet of love, beauty and artistry is trining dreamy Neptune. What an explosive couple! So how can we get the best of both worlds?
The intensity of fire, its bright and potent energy have to be channelled through calm and creative endeavours. The cosmic forces at play are the perfect setting for divination (tarot, pendulum, runes…) as well as creative arts (we’re talking full spectrum here, no limitations allowed!)
This day could bring you lots of insight and you may even find answers to significant questions (if you take time to sit with yourself and ignore the madness around you!)
Away from the madding crowd!
As this day carries a gazillion possibilities, new starts and kaleidoscopic reinventions, here is a 5-step ritual to help you push open the door of infinite miracles.
Take a shower or a bath and smudge your place with white sage, palo santo or incense (open your windows so the energies can circulate)
Light a white candle and take a minute to recenter yourself (you can put your hand on your heart and take a few deep breaths)
On a piece of paper, write down a list of habits, thoughts and fears you would like to get rid of and burn it with the white candle. Thank yourself and the Universe for this big release of negativity and throw away the ashes
On a fresh new piece a paper, set your intentions and remember that your power is always in your heart space so be true and authentic
Take some time to gaze at the flame and reflect on your intentions and dreams and let the candle consume itself or put a lid on it (don’t blow on it!)
May this wonderful portal bring you all that you need to become the person you want to be!
And the moral of that is – ‘Oh, ’tis love, ’tis love that makes the world go round!’
Wednesday is linked to Mercury, the planet of communication, short-distance travel, wit, studies, writing, languages… So anything related to these areas can get a boost of energy! Perfect time to work on that essay or try a new language!
The moon in Libra, another air element, invites us to bring harmony and peace to the way we communicate and deal with others. Charm and diplomacy go a long way and if you have business deals to sign or contracts to discuss, this moon could be very beneficial.
