New Moon in Capricorn

December 29th, 2024

Or how those intentions and plans are carried into 2025!

On December 30th, at 22:26 GMT, the Sun and the Moon, both at 9° of the sign of Capricorn will give us the second New Moon of December and the second New Moon in Capricorn of the year!

There’s already something significant with this New Moon in Capricorn. We started the year 2024 with a New Moon in Capricorn on January 11th and we’re closing it with another one. Coming full circle couldn’t be clearer!

Capricorn, the Sea-Goat, is famous for being the sign of structure and discipline but we often forget that it also has a great depth of emotions, lots of wisdom and a very strong sense of humour! While diligence and serious work are important, I feel like this New Moon is inviting us to dive a bit deeper into the latter qualities mentioned above. It’s the end of the year and we’re almost starting 2025 and despite all the gloom and horror happening in the world, let’s try to approach the new year with a better energy.

The energy of emotional maturity is a big part of this Capricorn New Moon. It’s like knowing what works for us, what drains us and how we cope with life in general. With all this knowledge in our tool box, we can approach our intentions and plans with more fluidity and please -oh please- a bit more fun as well!

Both luminaries (the Sun and the Moon) are in a sextile to Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) in Pisces: flexibility in structure, fluidity in work and creativity even in the mundane are required for us to get to our destination!

Even though Capricorn is associated with the 3D reality, it is, nonetheless a very spiritual sign. The chart of this lunation is highlighting the creative and universal power of transformation: Mars is in a trine to Neptune, Uranus sextile Neptune and Neptune sextile Pluto. Our intentions and actions could very well come from the Divine, from our intuition and they will lead us to the right place.

Between the first New Moon in Capricorn of 2024 and this one, an awful lot of things has happened and it feels like the Universe is asking us to look back and see how far we’ve progressed and how we can use what we have learnt to improve even further. The point of this lunation, I guess, is to encourage us and to support us in our advancements. For this is the only real goal of any soul incarnated on Earth: to get better, to learn, to play the game and move on.

With all the wisdom and help from the Universe, let’s think about what we want our future to look like, let’s set those intentions and let’s approach 2025 with renewed hope and love for life. Raising our individual vibration is raising the collective vibrations and therefore improving the world.

To a last good look at 2024 and towards a fulfilling 2025, I wish you a wonderful and magical New Moon in Capricorn 🤍🤍🤍

Full Super Moon in Taurus

November 14th, 2024

Or how to get unstuck!

Manuel Gast in Unsplash

On November 15th, at 21:28 GMT, we’ll experience a Super Full Moon at 24° of Taurus.

As usual, a Full Moon is all about completion, release, closure as it is the peak of the Moon cycle. It is very highlighting and shows us what we need to see to improve an area of our life.

The themes of truth and higher knowledge are associated to this Full Moon in Taurus as it occurs on the Scorpio (seeker of truth and understanding)/Taurus axis. Moreover, the Moon is conjunct Uranus (sudden revelations, eureka moments) in Taurus. We could witness new developments in banking, resources (farming, minerals and so on) and digital currencies. Quite a time to live in!

The sign of Taurus is a fixed earth sign and represents stability, material security and comfort (among plenty of other attributes). As a fixed sign, Taurus can be linked to the unwillingness to change, to adapt or even to step out of a cocoon and this particular Full Moon feels like a spotlight shining on these traits: where have we been stuck? What kind of habits are preventing us from improvement? In which areas of our life have we been too lazy? This Full Super Moon could feel like an electric shock to help us get unstuck; get flowing and move towards our goals.

The day of the Full Moon, Saturn stations direct in Pisces reinforcing this idea of flow and freedom of movement. Obstacles are being removed by higher forces, a way is being made and we can see a guiding light. Along with the end of Saturn retrograde, there’s a beautiful trine between Pluto (the ruling planet of Scorpio, standing for deep and intense transformation) in Capricorn and the Moon and Uranus in Taurus. What we see clearly is bringing a very intense but essential shift in our psyche and in our daily life.

Of course, change, transformation or even transmutation are never easy and sometimes painful but it’s significant to keep an open and positive mindset. The Universe never asks us to push our limits without gifting us tools and rewards! A bit like in a video game or an epic tale, nuggets of wisdom will be found on the way and notable milestones will be reached. Never alone, always part of the universal grand scheme, we find our way through life!

With that stated, I wish you all a wonderful Full Super Moon in Taurus, filled with enlightenment, positive change and trust in the future and the Universe 🤍🤍🤍

New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Libra

September 30th, 2024

Or how to initiate a new cycle, new partnerships and agreements!

Aaron Blanco Tejedor on Unsplash

On October 2nd, at 18:46 GMT, we will experience an annular solar eclipse at 10° of Libra. The Moon and the Sun will be conjunct in the sign of Libra, inviting us to set new intentions and look for a fresh start.

A New Moon is always an opportunity to start something new, to think about what we want to achieve and to write down our intentions so they become our reality. When a partial solar eclipse is added to the mix, the energies are even stronger and our manifestation powers are almost on steroids!

In the sign of Libra, the emphasis is definitely on partnerships, harmony, contracts, agreements and diplomacy. A change will occur and will most likely ask us to find or restore balance in our life.

In which areas of our life do we lack harmony and balance? What about the give and take ratio? How is our work supporting us? Are we fair or do we need to look for more justice and fairness? Are our partnerships based on equality? These questions could help us redefine our life towards a better and more harmonious self.

An eclipse along with a new moon look really much like a reset. We can see it as a sort of pause and reflection time before a starting new adventure. The Sun, the Moon and Mercury, all in Libra are in a square to Mars in Cancer, highlighting even brighter the idea that we need to stop for a moment. There’s a feeling to do better, not harder, to gather up our strength and energy before taking a leap, to reflect on our desires, emotions and the information we have before taking action!

A grand water trine between Mars in Cancer, Venus in Scorpio and Saturn in Pisces is appearing with this lunation. Intuition and empathy are under the spotlight and it feels like the Universe is inviting us to get in touch with our gut instinct. Emotional intelligence is as significant as logic at work or in our daily interactions and it helps us seeing the truth and authenticity of a person or situation. To find balance or harmony, intuition is key! In other words, if it feels off, then it needs to change!

The themes of this lunation are diplomacy, harmony and relationships. An eclipse always comes with the idea of fate and destiny. What is not aligned with our personal growth and personal path will be removed. Toxic behaviours (in Libra it’s all about people pleasing, too much diplomacy and even fakeness) won’t survive this time and if we don’t work on ourselves, the Universe will bring more lessons for us to grow!

So under this New Moon, let’s take time to review what could be improved, find the right words to express ourselves in truth and respect and embrace balance between our heart and our mind. There are many healthier and more harmonious possibilities on the horizon, a big and for the better change is in reach!

Let us not forget that eclipse season is quite draining energetically so stay hydrated, rest when you need it and as always, trust the Universe!

Wishing you a wonderful New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra 🤍🤍🤍

Full Moon in Sagittarius

May 20th, 2024

Or how to get a good clear and meaningful look at our dreams!

Jon Tyson for Unsplash

On May 23rd, at 13.52 GMT, the Moon at 2° of Sagittarius will oppose the Sun at 2° of Gemini creating a transformative Full Moon in Sagittarius.

The Gemini/Sagittarius axis is focussed on ideas, communication and moving back and forth from a bigger picture to the details of it. Philosophy, beliefs, languages, information are likely to be highlighted under this Full Moon. The energy is very intense and even though the Moon is associated with our emotions, I feel like our mental energy will be enhanced as well with this lunation. There’s a real quest for meaning and a reassessment of our dreams and goals. Seeing what hasn’t worked for us, gaining clarity and a bit of boldness that was definitely lacking: these are the ingredients that this Full Moon will provide us!

A Full Moon is putting an area of our lives under the spotlight. In Sagittarius, this area is linked to what we want to achieve and why we want to achieve it. What are our beliefs? What is driving us? How do we envision the future? There is certainly a positive outlook with the sign of the Archer and a real trust in the Universe and its plan.

Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius is at 29° of Taurus: this is a significant degree in astrology as it represents the finish line, the completion of a cycle. Jupiter is opposing the Moon in Sagittarius and to me this feels like a final opportunity to see where we have been and to move on with the tools we have gathered along the way. For life is both a gift and a game and we have to keep learning to progress, evolve and have fun.

Both luminaries are well aspected with Pluto retrograding in Aquarius and this is a great asset: we have the possibility to understand deeply our motivations, our mistakes (if there’s such a thing) and how to alchemise the lessons we learned into wisdom and success. In the sign of Aquarius, we also blend the qualities of the thinker and communicator Gemini with the future oriented and straight-to-the-point Sagittarius! The Universe is gifting us ideas, solutions, creativity and the ability to move forward gracefully and with purpose.

Of course, this is a Full Moon and we have to understand it as a way to see clearly and release what no longer serves our highest good. To advance on our path, to keep learning, to find meaning and gems of wisdom, we must be ready to let go of limited perceptions, toxicity and negative self-talk. This might be the most difficult task required of us but also the most rewarding. So let’s walk on lightly, a bit more freely and always expecting the best for everything starts in the Mind and the Mind is everything. And with Gemini and Sagittarius, the mind and soul are definitely everything.

Wishing you miracles, movement forward and purpose 🤍🤍🤍

Full Moon in Scorpio

April 22nd, 2024

Or how to face what needs healing!

Martino Pietropoli on Unspash

On April 23rd, at 23:48 GMT, the Sun at 4° of Aries will be opposite the Moon at 4° of Scorpio, creating a very transformational Full Moon in Scorpio.

A Full Moon is a guiding light from the Universe inviting us to see without filter what has been preventing us from growing and evolving. From unhealed trauma to toxic coping mechanisms, we travel through life with a real need for healing and building healthy habits and thoughts. This task is not an easy one, we must unfold layers upon layers of trauma, self-doubt, negative thinking and poisonous attachments. To find oneself, to be genuinely who we are meant to be, we must face our shadows, embrace them, accept them and release them. Easier said than done.

This is where the Full Moon in Scorpio appears, intense, transformative, brave and ready to show us what we need to transmute.

With a lot of energy in Aries, the sign of the self, of the I AM, there is definitely a focus on our essence and substance. Who are we really, deep in our core? The Sun, Uranus and Jupiter in Taurus are highlighting our self-worth and what we have, not only on the material plane but also inside us. What qualities and resources do we possess and how can we hone our skills and use them better? To transform and expand, we have to know where we stand and a careful self-assessment is required. The Moon in Scorpio is in a square to Pluto (Scorpio’s ruler) in Aquarius: we might feel ungrounded and might want to escape working on our not-so-pleasant feelings and emotions but this is so necessary anyway. The square between the Sun in Taurus and Pluto is adding some pressure to the mix: along with running away fron our feelings, we also might feel like wallowing into what’s comfortable and easy and we may even be very stubborn at that time.

Transformation doesn’t come easily. The rewards, however, are life-changing. So let’s dive deep without fear so we can expand and rise to the next level. Let’s release the chains we created and let’s start our ascension. By harnessing the powerful energy of the Scorpio archetype, we will experience a powerful shift.

With love, strength and light 🤍 🤍 🤍

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra

March 22nd, 2024

Or how to clean up all of our relationships and start on a fresh note!

On March 25th at 07:13 GMT, we will experience an intense Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 5° of Libra.

An eclipse is always a very powerful event that represents the end of something. As scary as it may seem, it is for our good. How many times do we pinpoint a problem or a toxic trait and don’t do anything about it? Eclipses are the Universe way to support us in doing all the release and letting go that are required to feel better and progress. It might feel uneasy but it is so essential.

In Libra, the main theme is relationships: from work partnerships to marriages, from friends to soul tribe, people that surround you as well as the dynamics of interaction with them are under the spotlight. The Moon is very personal and emotional and keeping the topic of relationships in mind, some questions could be brought up to the surface. What kind of relationships do we want to nurture? What have we learnt in our communication with people? What kind of behaviour is toxic or no longer working in our life? What relationship needs to change or be released?

This Full Moon in Libra is also echoing the South Node in Libra: people pleasing is detrimental to ourselves and if this is an ongoing pattern in our life, it may be a good time to implement change. Are we sometimes too diplomatic? Should we be more assertive when it comes to our values and needs? All this pondering is supported by the trine between Pluto in Aquarius and the Moon in Libra. Deep understanding, profound enlightenment about a situation and the ability to transform into a healthier modus operandi are very likely to appear.

With four planets in Pisces, our intuition is heightened and it feels like a gentle nudge to trust our instincts about someone or a relationship. To flow with what feels right in our heart, core and soul and to approach situations with discernment yet drops of intuitive energy can be very helpful. I feel like we’re balancing (the Scales of Libra) our intuition and emotions (Pisces) with our will to go forward as genuinely as possible (Sun, Mercury and North Node in Aries).

This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse represents a portal of healing and evolution. Uranus, the planet of change, revolution and sudden, electric momentum is in a trine with Venus, the ruler of this Full Moon: it might be an internal revolution, a quiet epiphany but an eye-opening one nonetheless. Once we are awake, there is no turning back and progress is the only way.

The energies of any eclipse can be chaotic and draining, sleep patterns could be disturbed, appetite might fluctuate and rest is recommended.

Sending you healing, nurturing and peaceful energy 🤍🤍🤍

Super New Moon in Pisces

March 7th, 2024

Or how to dream, flow and make it happen!

Pawel Czerwinski on Unsplash

On March 10th, the Sun and the Moon will be conjunct in Pisces, forming a Super New Moon in the constellation of the Fish.

A Super New Moon is very powerful as it is closer to the Earth than usual. In the sign of Pisces, the overarching themes are spirituality, compassion, mystical insights, creativity and inspiration. They will be enhanced throughout Pisces Season but are very strong during the New Moon.

A New Moon is always like a new beginning as it invites us to embrace the qualities of the sign it sits in and to plant seeds with the wisdom we can take from the zodiac sign and its archetype.

With Saturn, the Moon, the Sun and Neptune in Pisces, our emotional and dreamy realms are activated. Some may feel like starting a spiritual practice, some might want to go with the flow and let go of control issues and others may wish for more compassion in the world. There is mystery in the air and some might pursue it and try to decipher esoteric codes and ancient wisdom principles.

Liminal spaces and otherworldly realms are highlighted and we might receive downloads and inspiration (especially if we take time to meditate or immerse ourselves in contemplation). With Mars and Venus in Aquarius, we have the electric will and strength to take inspired action. Pluto in Aquarius is sextile Mercury at 0° of Aries and to me this gives a transformative power to our words: like a magician, what we say is a spell that has a great potential (especially under this Super New Moon) to become true. As beautiful as it is, one must be careful of what one wishes for and then states.

The sign of Pisces is also about healing and transcending physical and mental limiting beliefs. By being compassionate to ourselves and by loving every bit of who we are, we can heal yourself and then heal others. This lunation is a great reminder to be mindful of our inner dialogue: our cells, fluids and tissues absorb the energy and the words we send them.

A sextile between Saturn and Jupiter is helping us polishing situations in our material and emotional worlds. We are supported to find growth and meaning while working on ourselves. And the rewards can be quite significant if we take the time and put the effort!

This Super New Moon is really magical and intense and as all the planets are in direct motion, this is truly a great time to set our intentions. As Pisces is associated with empathy and compassion, let us all wish for a better world. May all beings everywhere be happy and free and may our thoughts, words and action contribute to the well-being, happiness and freedom of everyone and everything on our planet.

Lots of love, compassion and peace 🤍🤍🤍

Super New Moon in Aquarius

February 7th, 2024

Or how to channel your inner rebel to create and manifest!

Max Bender for Unsplash

On February 9th, 2024, at 22:58 GMT, the Sun and the Moon will be conjunct at 20° of Aquarius and give us a Super New Moon in Aquarius.

Aquarius is an air sign that is linked to deep thinking, mental activity, communication but also to a sense of novelty, originality, genius and out-of-the-box ideas. It is associated as well to the future in general, technologies and humanism. A Super New Moon in this sign means a great start to unusual projects that have a big potential, the importance of social connections and networking and the urge to be authentic without fearing differences but on the contrary, embracing them!

Why is this Super New Moon so potent and potentially life changing?

It is a Super Moon, meaning it is closer to the Earth than usual and thus we can be even more affected by it. It is also the first New Moon in Aquarius since Pluto moved into the water bearer constellation: it emphasises the infinite possibilities of deep societal transformations but also the responsabilities of using power and implementing changes.

This Super New Moon is well aspected to both the North Node and Chiron in Aries, boosting positively our progress towards personal and collective healing. It invites us to work deeply and genuinely on ourselves first before thinking about the society or humanity at large. We can’t change the world if we don’t change ourselves!

The Sun and the Moon in Aquarius are both square Uranus in Taurus. This is quite an interesting aspect as Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius. There is a sort of dissonance between what we want in our mind and heart and the way we want things to unravel. In Taurus, Uranus enhances physicality and tangible elements and challenges our ressources, the earth and the soil. Aquarius is more about electricity, wired thoughts, downloads from higher consciousness. So these squares are asking us to stay grounded while reaching the cosmic well of knowledge, to have one foot on earth and one hand in the stars, to connect the below with the above!

It’s also interesting to note that one day after this New Moon, we enter the year of the Wooden Dragon in Chinese astrology. The Dragon in Chinese astrology represents a pioneering spirit and this is wonderfully in sync with the qualities of the Aquarius zodiac sign.

I wish you all a magical Super New Moon in Aquarius, may your dreams become your reality and may peace, love and respect be felt everywhere

Full Moon in Leo

January 24th, 2024

Or how to create deep change!

Amauri Mejia on Unsplash

On January 25th, at 17:53 GMT, we will experience the first Full Moon of 2024 in the creative and heart-centred sign of Leo!

A Full Moon always highlights an area of our life that contains the seed of transformation and represents a powerful catalyst for change and truth. In the sign of Leo, the truth has to resonate genuinely with our heart and inner self.

The Sun and Pluto are in the humanitarian and eccentric Aquarius and are opposing the Moon in Leo, giving us some interesting narrative to work on. To me, it’s a story about our personal and social transformation towards progress and equality and this profound shift can only happen when our heart is authentic, open and distant from a toxic ego. Our transformation can also be unconventional, creative, unusual or weird, as long as it true for us!

Full Moons are a great events to think about our limiting beliefs and let go of anything that doesn’t serve us anymore. With Leo and Aquarius, the comos is inviting us to reflect on the unhealthy use of our ego and also on our tendencies to detach from life itself when feeling bad or overwhelmed. Transformation can only happen if we go right through it, face it with boldness and creative solutions.

The Sun and the Moon are square Jupiter in Taurus and could very well play out as doubting our own value, underestimating ourselves or assessing value according to material things. It’s essential to remember that it’s our uniqueness that makes us important players in this world and that there is space for everybody.

If emotions are running high under this Full Moon, the 3 planets in Capricorn (Mercury, Venus and Mars) are reminding us that organisation and practicality can help us a great deal.

The most affected signs will be the fixed ones: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius and they may need a long, restful sleep or nap at some point!

Wishing you all the best for this first Full Moon of 2024 🤍🤍🤍

Full Moon in Cancer

December 26th, 2023

Or how to nurture our sense of belonging!

Bruce Hong for Unsplash

On December 27th, at 00:32 GMT, the Sun at 4° of Capricorn will oppose the Moon at 4° of Cancer, gifting us a beautiful Full Moon in Cancer.

The Moon is in its home sign in emotional and nurturing Cancer and its energy will be felt quite strongly for everybody. Feelings are likely to be intensified and with the festive season and the family reunions, emotions may run high.

A Full Moon is always shining bright on what we need to see clearly and perhaps to let go of for our highest good. In Cancer, the highlight is definitely on home and family matters, our roots and ancestry and of course all the dysfunctional patterns that may come with this package! Under this Full Moon, we are invited to reflect on our sense of belonging and to learn to nurture aspects of it that make us feel great and empowered while giving up on toxicity. Belonging doesn’t mean sacrifice, people pleasing or control, but rather the comfort of knowing we have a place in this world and that we matter.

The Sun in Capricorn seems like a thread of wisdom in the emotional tides of the Cancerian Moon. Family, relationships or comfort require patience and dedication. The Sea Goat reminds us to stay grounded and take small steps towards our dream home, family and relationships life. The trine between the Sun in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus helps us find comfort with ease and love more than effort and hard work. And the sextile between the Sun and Saturn in Pisces acts like a memo: we know how it feels like when we don’t set healthy boundaries, so let us work on that and everything will be in the flow! The trine between the Moon in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces reinforces that idea that boundaries are physical, energetic, mental and emotional. If a situation is too much to handle, take a break and retreat. Saturn in Pisces is here to make us find tools that work for our own situation/environment or even personality.

The emphasis of this Full Moon in clearly on emotions and how we can nurture ourselves and take care of our feelings. Neptune in Pisces is square Mercury and Mars both in Sagittarius so our thoughts and actions may not reflect properly how we feel about something. There is a strong message here to do the internal work first, the rest will follow later!

It might be tense to navigate these energies while being in the middle of the festive season but it is also a great opportunity to focus on the positive in our lives and to nurture good feeling thoughts and situations.

Wishing you all a beautiful Full Moon and sending light and loving energy to everyone in this time and space reality 🌠🤍🎆
