Or how to navigate through karma, spirituality and time!

On March 7th, 2023, at 1.35pm GMT, Saturn will enter the sign of Pisces for about 3 years. It’s the first time since 2017 that the Lord of Karma and restriction leaves one of the signs he rules. So for the first time in 6 years, Saturn will feel quite uncomfortable in Pisces, like a fish out of water (bad pun intended).
More seriously, this massive celestial shift is happening for us, not to us. Even though Saturn is not the happiest in the mystical waters of Pisces, we can still find nuggets of wisdom through this transit. Wisdom is actually very related to both Saturn and Pisces. So let’s dive deep and go for some underwater treasure hunt!
Saturn is known in traditional astrology as the Great Malefic (such a hideous choice of words in my opinion) because the ringed planet is associated with heavy and difficult concepts such as time, restriction, limitations, karma. It also represents the Patriarch in every terrible way: distrustful of his progeny, strict, punishing, setting severe rules and so on… The mainstream trend is to consider Saturn as the fun breaker, the over serious, the boring one. However, like everything in life, there’s a another side to this story. And it’s worth a look.
Saturn is famous for being the Lord of Karma and behind the fear that this phrase raises, there’s pure magic. Saturn brings wonderful gifts to those who work hard to clean their karmic slate. He is also the Lord of Time and reminds us that when used well, Time is one of our most precious allies. It is, let’s not forget it, the biggest healer of all. Year after year, we learn, we grow, we expand, we try, we heal, we start again… How beautiful is this? And no, Saturn is not the fun breaker, he is the fun conscious one: if we have fun to the detriment of ourselves, others or an important project, he will come and nudge us to remember what is truly essential for us. Everything is sweeter when we take these traits into account, right?
The constellation of Pisces echoes the sounds of mystical waves, spiritual oceans, it represents flowing empathy and intuition and fresh creative juices. Pisces is a sign deeply connected to healing as well, healing the spirit, the soul, the space in between worlds so we can become lighter, brighter and more compassionate. The Piscean energy stands for transcendence, liminal spaces, mystics, guides, wise men and women, artists, empaths, listeners, messengers of different worlds.
Saturn might not swim as well as he wishes he could in Pisces but he can still guide us to the shore with important insight. Here is a list of some significant points for this transit:
It’s ok to have weaknesses, in facing them we can become stronger
We may not see clearly the path or direction we must take but we can always reconnect to our soul and higher self for guidance
Processing our feelings is essential to become better versions of ourselves; if not, we might feel overwhelmed or super anxious and it may lead to wrong decisions based on fear or urgency
Boundaries are important: if we tend to overextend them, we’ll pay a strong price (dishonesty, disappointment, nervousness, fatigue…)
Creativity is amazing and so can be structure: blend them together and you get projects that are sustainable, made for the long run and meaningful
When restrictions are especially tough to deal with, substances are not the solution; release the pressure with a few drinks if you must but look for more constructive ways of letting go (sound baths, salt baths, tantric yoga, qi gong, painting, forest bathing and so on)

On March 7th, 2023, at 12:40 pm, the Sun in Pisces will be opposite the Moon in Virgo. Both luminaries will sit at 16° of their signs, creating a Full Moon in Virgo, very much associated with themes such as physical and mental health and being of service. With 5 planets in mutable signs, there is an emphasis on adaptability and versatility along with a strong and (maybe) unusual intuitive push.
Virgo is the sign of organisation, preparation and grounding. It’s related to earthly matters and physical manifestations. This Full Moon is asking us, in a way, to tend to the tangible things in life, declutter and handle what we can handle before diving into the deep and intuitive waters of Pisces.
The Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo will both be squaring Mars in Pisces during this Full Moon. It could mean overthinking (one of Virgo’s most famous traits), mental chatter, frustration and irritability. That is why getting grounded and prepared is so essential. This will also help us follow our gut feeling and not some anxiety-related stomach pain. Let’s not forget that the Virgo/Pisces axis in astrology represents the spiritual and body connection. It must be balanced to function at its best. This lunation is bringing light to what needs to be decluttered, reorganised and planned for in order to be successful later. It also invites us to treat ourselves and others with compassion and empathy. These qualities will be even more essential when Saturn enters Pisces, a few hours after the Full Moon. And the timing will be right.
On the fun side of this Full Moon, the Sun is forming a sextile to Uranus in Taurus while the Moon is forming a trine with the eccentric planet in Taurus. Good surprises, light-bulb moments and genius ideas or glimpses of visionnary concepts may very well appear in our reality. We might sense something that will come up in the future!
How will this lunation play out in your life? Here are some tips, read for your big 3: Sun, Moon and Ascendant signsto get a detailed horoscope.
Aries: This Full Moon is shining bright on your day to day routine, work and physical health. Have you been listening to what your body is telling you? Is your routine supporting your health and vitality or should you change some some habits? How is your relationship with work? You might feel depleted of energy, frustrated with your colleagues or even daydreaming instead of focussing on your tasks. How could you improve the situation? What is your instinct telling you? How can you blend intuitive nudges with pragmatic steps to create a more fulfilling life? Take time to consider these important questions and readjust if needed. Your life will be improved along with your vitality.
Taurus: If you’ve been bored or lacking fun recently, la luna is here to help you see how you can change your vibration. Are there any administrative or tedious tasks that must be dealt with? If so, get rid of them so you can really enjoy some fun time and immerse yourself in art and creativity. You might discover new passions and new ways of infusing them into your life. There’s something guiding you towards enjoyment and entertainment. Your heart chakra wants to lead the way, let it do so, it will bring wonders. Your romantic life is highlighted, you may spend some quality time with your partner.
Gemini: Some spaces must be decluttered and reorganised in your physical home. It’s almost springtime and the energy of your place could be improved by a big cleaning session! On a more spiritual note, this lunation is inviting you to see where you need to retreat and what you need to protect to feel at home within yourself. If you have been frustrated or uneasy about various things, it is time to clear them out and restore a feeling of safety and flow. From a home-cooked meal to a yin yoga practice, try something that makes you feel whole and nurtured. Some conversations with important female figures could bring healing and clarity.
Cancer: This Full Moon shines bright on your sector of communication and information (especially with your siblings, cousins, neighbours, colleagues) and commute or short distance trips. You may have been misunderstood or unclear about what you need or want. Use your intuition to address people the way they can best understand and respond to you. If you have been overanalysing or lacking some info to solve a problem, you can be sure that clarity is on its way. Brilliant ideas are likely to pop up if you cut off the mental chitchat in the back of your mind. Proofread carefully anything of importance before sending/sharing it and write down any new idea for they might be very successful in the future!
Leo: La luna is putting your self-worth, value and material possessions under the spotlight! Get organised about your finances and the way you spend your money. Where could you save a bit more? Where could you be wiser? (aka is it worth buying or is it compulsive spending?). This lunation is inviting you to get real and clear about the value you give yourself: what makes you feel good? what makes you feel worthy? Your generous and passionate sides need to come out more! Luxury and good quality items are great but the connection to others and the help you can offer them are priceless. You may have pushed that aside but now it’s time to listen to your heart and intuition. Reconnect to your truth.
Virgo: This is your Full Moon and your time to shine! Your best qualities are highlighted now and they are powerful. Use your analytical mind and practical responses to prepare for your next move. Who do you want to be? What is making you vibrate, happy and fulfilled? It’s time to get organised and to clear out the clutter of your life. Have you been overthinking too much? Have you been stressing over work or your sense of self and your place in the world? The skies are asking you to handle what you can in the tangible reality and to let faith and intuition do the rest. Take good care of your body, especially your stomach and intestines. You may experience gastric reflux or an upset stomach if you’re eating out of stress.
Libra: La luna is shining her light on your subconscious patterns, secrets, coping mechanisms such as escapism, spirituality and sollicited solitary time. What have you been hiding from yourself? What patterns are not serving you anymore? Where do you need to retreat and why? The Full Moon is bringing clarity and organisation to help you classify your needs, psychological habits and responses. It’s also giving you hunches about your spiritual life and you might receive ‘downloads’ from other energetic fields. It is time to listen to yourself with empathy and without judgement. What you want is just on the other side of fear or mental restriction. You can go for it.
Scorpio: What do you want to achieve in the future? And with whom? This Full Moon is putting an emphasis on your dreams, wishes and your circle (of friends and people you consider reliable). Do you have projects or ideas that could benefit the help of someone you trust? Is there any revolutionary or genius idea that you’d like to see taking shape into your reality? The Virgo qualities offer you the organisation and practical mind to move your project forward. And the planets in Pisces gift you with a very strong intuition. Keep working, have faith in your dreams and visualise: miracles are on their way to you!
Sagittarius: It is time to reflect on your professional ambition and career! Who do you want to embody? What do you want to achieve or be known for in your profession? How do you want to be seen by the public? What do you want to leave as a legacy? And what are your next steps? If you’ve been stuck for too long, you can now breathe in and start climbing the ladder with clarity and the tools to succeed. Don’t push away any intuitive hints as they will guide you towards more ease of movement and faster way to reach your goals. All you need is to prepare thoroughly your ascension by answering the questions above with authenticity. You got this.
Capricorn: What is your life philosophy? And does it need to be updated or adjusted? What about your belief system? Is it supporting your growth or taking away your power? This Virgo Full Moon is showing you the points you need to reconsider or reflect upon so you can infuse more meaning into your life. If you have been contemplating studying something, it may be the right time to start a course. If you need to expand your perspectives and travel for a while, book your tickets now. Your spiritual side is strongly highlighted and you might be interested in exploring various sacred practices such as meditation, yoga, qi gong… And you may experience ‘aha’ moments or sudden realisations.
Aquarius: La luna is shining her light on the dark side of your psyche and your relationship to the concepts and experiences of psychological death and rebirth, intimacy, sexuality and shared finances (from inheritance to the money someone gives you out of the blue). If you’ve been experiencing troubles in your intimate relationships or the way you express your sexual side, you may find answers to resolve a problem. Communication is key but it must be clear and straightforward. Shenanigans, manipulation or cryptic language won’t do. If you and your partner share some resources or finances, this is a perfect time to go through them and reorganise when it seems messy or unclear. You will feel more at ease after you discuss money with your partner and declutter what you can.
Pisces: This Full Moon is occuring in your partnerships, contracts, agreements, law, marriage and divorce sector. In other words, la luna will shine bright on your current personal and professional partnerships. She’s asking you to look at them with clarity and truth and to modify or update anything that doesn’t help you. If you happen to have any agreements or contracts to sign, read carefully and thoroughly all documents before put yout name on them. If something feels off and you don’t know why, follow your intuition and postpone the signing to gather reasons or evidence to back your hunches up. This is a good time to review any legal document and to balance out your relationships. Remember that it’s all about give and take, being of service and also asking for help when you need it.
For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.

On February 20th, 2023, at 07.05 am GMT, the Moon and the Sun will be conjunct at 1° of Pisces giving us a dreamy yet powerful Super New Moon. It is an auspicious time to start picturing your dream life and let your imagination run wild. The Sun and the Moon in Pisces are loosely conjunct Saturn in Aquarius and this aspect offers us the practical steps, sense of responsibility and timing to accomplish our goals (or whatever we envisioned).
Pisces is the sign of compassion, spirituality, healing and mystical imagination. This Super New Moon represents a seed full of magical possibilities that we can’t see yet. The power of our creative mind is awakened along with our pineal gland: we can perceive some bits of the cosmic consciousness and integrate them into our body and daily life choices. The etheric field around us is highlighted, inviting us to feel the Aether or Akash and get inspiration from it. Like the High Priestess of the Tarot, we stand in between worlds, ready for the alchemical process of coagulation: the meeting of the inner with the outer, of the mind with the matter. The core understanding that everything is possible helps us transcend earthly limitations and elevate into higher realms of awareness. What we can imagine or dream of is already existing in the mental field and we just have to hold on to our vision a bit longer and to keep faith before it can be manifested into this reality.
This lunation is also the perfect moment to connect with your higher self through meditation, a cleansing bath, divination or a creative hobby. You might feel called to try some spiritual practices or to be in nature. The energies are strong yet slow, there is no need to rush. What you seek is seeking you, always.
If you are interested in knowing in depth how this Super Full Moon will impact you, here are the areas of life that will be highlighted for each zodiac sign. Please read for your Sun, Moon and Ascendant signs to get a fuller picture!
On January 21st, 2023, at 8.53pm GMT, the Moon will be conjunct the Sun at 1° of Aquarius and this creates a Super New Moon in Aquarius.
This is the third New Moon in a row at 1° of a sign, meaning we’re still riding the wave of new creative energies and infinite possibilities!
This Super New Moon occurs in benevolent skies as Mercury and Mars are direct and Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius is stationing direct just a few hours after the New Moon. It means that we’re out of retrograde season, all the planets are direct for a few months and therefore the energies are faster and momentum is real!
Aquarius represents (among many other things) humanity, future plans, technologies, rebellion, individuality and newness. I feel like this New Moon resonates with a new episode for humanity and that ascension is happening whether we’re ready or not! We’re not stuck anymore, things are moving in the skies and behind the scenes, fresh territories are being discovered and we may even receive downloads from other astral realms. It’s time to focus on what we want to build as we are greatly supported by the Universe.
As for every new moon, it’s time to write your intentions and plans and meditate on them with faith. Along with the main Aquarian themes stated above, you can find the areas that will be most impacted for your sign! (Sun, Moon and Ascendant).
Aries: dreams and wishes, circle of friends, new technologies, community
Taurus: career and professional life, public status, legacy of work, how you want to be seen

On January 6th 2023 at 11.03 pm (GMT), the Moon will be sitting at 16° of Cancer, opposing the Sun at 16° of Capricorn and thus creating the first Full Moon of the year!
This lunation brings to the table an immense power of understanding, working on our emotional responses and acknowledging where we could improve. The Moon in Cancer is nicely aspecting Uranus in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces: sudden a-ha moments or realisations about some emotional triggers could occur along with a healthy dose of compassion, idealism and sprituality. This Moon is also squaring Chiron, the asteroid known as The Wounded Healer and it means that we could have to revisit some old traumas and treat them with the right tools. This could be the perfect time to finally move on emotionally from something that was quite detrimental or draining so we start 2023 on a clean slate!
How this Full Moon will impact you? Take a look at your Sun, Ascendant and Moon signs to know a bit more!
Aries: What do you need to reassess at home and in your family life? Are you as nurtured and cared for as you protect and look for those you love? Is there anything heavy in your heart that you haven’t been able to deal with? This Full Moon in Cancer is inviting you to check on your emotional responses with important female figures and at home. Conversations with loved ones may bring enlightening answers.
Taurus: How do you communicate with your family/siblings? Can you share more of your heart and how you feel? You may very well have the urge to change the way you express your emotions and it could be drastically different and liberating (especially if it’s about an unprocessed feeling that has been lingering for a while). A short trip could also bring healing and answers. Listen to your intuition on this one, it will help a lot.
Gemini: How do you value yourself and more importantly, what worth do you put on your deep feelings? You might have felt really insecure lately about your job or the way you make money and the emotional side of work. This is the perfect lunation for redefining what you want to protect and grow and what you want to release. How you feel is as significant as how you think. Who you are and what you possess starts in the heart.
Cancer: This Full Moon is yours and it’s your time to shine and make the most of your best qualities. You’re intuitive, protective and caring and the lunation asks you to use these traits even more. If a situation (relations, work, studies…) doesn’t resonate with your identity and who you truly are, you’ll find the right tools to deal with it or even release it. If you have any doubts, listen to your heart for today it can’t be wrong!
Leo: What kind of emotions do you feel in secret? What kind of triggers make you feel like losing it? Do you try to escape from difficult emotions? This Full Moon shines a light on your subconscious and coping mechanisms. You may see clearly the causes of some feelings and discomfort. Spirituality is highlighted as well for you, any practice (from yoga to dancing or meditation) that helps you soothe your heart will be very helpful.
Virgo: Have you been honest emotionally with you and you future goals? Are you planning something that feels a bit off or not fulfilling enough? Do you feel at ease and yourself with your friends? The Full Moon in Cancer is inviting you to check on your genuine feelings and your authenticity with yourself and your close circle of friends. If you have the tendency to be a people pleaser and ignore your own needs and gut feelings, it’s time to readjust. You can do it!
Libra: Are your public status and persona draining you slowly? Are you wearing a mask 24/7 while ignoring your own needs? Is your career satisfying in every way, including the emotional side? This Full Moon might make you balance a lot of things career and status wise and help you see where you have been giving too much and where you could protect yourself a bit more. Remember that you’re human and that emotions are a beautiful gift even in your professional life.
Scorpio: What would make you really happy? Is there any destination or travel activity that would make your heart beat? How do you see life in general? The Full Moon is happening at the right time to remind you that your beliefs system must include emotional fulfillment. Life is not just about nurturing your thoughts, ideas and philosophy but also about making progress emotionally so you have a complete and meaningful experience on planet Earth.
Sagittarius: How do you feel intimately with your partner? Is your emotional nature heard and acknowledged? Do you feel a need for protection (whether it’s protecting or being protected?). This lunation is here to help you state clearly how you deeply feel and to implement any changes that could be helpful for your psyche. You may have conversations about shared resources and financial investments with someone you love. Be truthful and strategic.
Capricorn: Is there a contract or a partnership that seems unfair or emotionally disappointing? Can you blend your emotional needs into a new contract or a new agreement so that you are satisfied and secure? Ideas or new strategies could appear suddenly and implementing them in your partnerships (from a marriage contract to a business deal) could provide a safe space to blossom on all levels. Try to speak with authenticity, even if it takes time.
Aquarius: Are your health, workout and job routines good enough or do you feel frustrated or not at your full potential? What could you try (a new habit, a new product, a new diet, you name it!) to boost you and make you feel whole and nurtured? If you have very demanding colleagues, don’t be afraid to listen to your feelings and say no to protect yourself. This lunation is inviting you to look at your daily habits with an emotional perspective and intuition first.
Pisces: When was the last time you had real fun and it felt good? What are you looking for when it comes to romance, passion and love? You’re a very compassionate sign and for once, the Full Moon is asking you to nurture and protect yourself. You emotional power is immense and you should use it for what makes you feel great, whole and high. Time to enjoy hobbies, date nights, artistic or creative endeavours and to spend time with your kids. It feels safe.
Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat and be yourself at any time.
We finished 2022 with Mars and Mercury retrograde in Gemini and Capricorn but also with Jupiter changing sign and entering Aries. The Lunar Nodes will still be on the axis Taurus/Scorpio until July 12th, 2023 along with some eclipses before the Nodes and the eclipses reach the Aries/Libra axis.
Saturn will enter Pisces in March while Pluto slowly goes towards Aquarius. Pluto enters this sign of the Water Bearer a bit later in March, leaving exhausted Capricorn (the host of Pluto since 2008!).
We will start 2023 quite slowly and the big changes won’t be felt that strongly us until the second part of the year. A brand new year is, however, a great moment to start afresh!
To know a bit more about what’s in store for you for the first six months of 2023, take a look at your big 3, Sun, Ascendant and Moon signs. Enjoy!
Aries: Jupiter direct in your sign is a blessing and an ode to your fire spirit, boldness and courage! Take that leap of faith and do things in true Aries fashion, you’ll feel happy and rewarded. On March 21st, a New Moon in your sign along with the Spring Equinox will give you fresh ideas and momentum to go even further in your projects.
Taurus: You’re slowly recuperating from the heavy effects of the eclipse season in your sign and you may have to keep working on yourself until Jupiter enters your sign on May 16th 2023. On May 19th, a New Moon in your sign gives you everything you need: plans, perspectives and readiness to start afresh. Don’t hesitate! Uranus is still with you until April 2026, giving you a different approach to finances and security and probably excellent ideas as well!
Gemini: The year starts very slowly with Mars retrograde in your sign and your ruler Mercury retrograde in Capricorn but you’ll feel better as soon as Mars goes direct. Remember to rest. After Mars 25th, you’ll be able to drop the pressure as Mars will (finally!) leave your sign. Everything will feel smoother. On June 18th, a New Moon in your sign offers new beginnings or at least momentum to (re)start a project.
Cancer: The year begins quite emotionally with a Full Moon in your sign on January 6th. Jupiter in Aries will ask you to take a good look at your career goals and plans. You are supported, go for it! Mars enters your sign on March 25th and you might feel frustrated or disconnected from your heart. Don’t rush any emotional matter.
Leo: With Jupiter in fellow fire sign Aries and a Full Moon in your sign on February 5th, the year kicks off with energetic vibes. Go with the flow and if you feel adventurous, don’t shy away from new places and discoveries. On May 20th, Mars reaches your sign and will give you an extra boost of courage and passion! Make the most of it.
Virgo: Your ruler retrograde in a fellow earth sign Capricorn may make you feel slowed down or unclear about your next moves. Be patient because things will take a better turn for you after March 7th: the Full Moon in your sign will provide clarity and your projects will take off. The North Node in Taurus, a friendly earth sign may have brought lots of deep thinking about the world in general, the place you’d like to live in, beliefs about life and work etc… By July, you may settle somewhere and have the right answers.
Libra: Your partnerships and contracts are highlighted until May. On April 6th, a Full Moon in your sign gives you an extra push: whether you feel like changing a few things in a contract or making a strong move, it’s all possible under the protection of benevolent Jupiter. Do it before July, when the Lunar Nodes change signs and put some pressure on your diplomatic skills.
Scorpio: You may start the year feeling drained or emotionally unvailable as you had massive celestial disruptions in your sign (especially from October to December 2022). Take it slow and rest, it’s ok not to have all the answers right now. A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will occur in your sign on May 5th, giving you the opportunity to dust off anything you don’t need or want anymore in your life. After mid July, you can expect a big sigh of relief as the Lunar Nodes leave your sign!
Sagittarius: You might feel good and empowered despite the lethargic energies that surround the beginning of 2023. Jupiter in your fellow fire sign Aries until May 16th and then Mars in your fellow fire sign Leo after May 20th make you feel strong and energetic to tackle anything you couldn’t do or finish earlier. On June 3rd, a Full Moon in Sagittarius clear away any doubts you might have felt. Keep on rocking, right timing is on your side!
Capricorn: With Mercury retrograding in your sign until January 18th, 2023, you may feel unclear about how to proceed to make you dreams come true. Communication could be less straightforward or even misleading. Don’t worry, you’ll pick up your pace later and have a better grasp on everything. On March 23rd, Pluto finally leaves your sign and will give you a good 2 months and half of relief and lightness. Time to make that move or at least the first steps, you deserve it and it will bring lots of joy! On June 11th, Pluto goes retrograde in your sign, enabling you to reassess situations and decisions and adjusting them according to your psychological wellbeing.
Aquarius: You start off the year with Venus entering your sign on January 2nd, giving you a nice glow up, personal style and confidence boost! On January 20th, your season begins, it is your time to shine and make plans for the rest of the year! On January 21st, a New Moon in your sign supports you in starting something new, whether it’s a job, a move, a project or even a relationship. Between Feburary 11th and March 2nd, your conversations with the world will flow easily and you may get interesting pieces of info. After March 7th, when Saturn leaves your sign, you’ll feel lighter and might be more comfortable manifesting what you want.
Pisces: The year starts off quite softly for you as Venus enters your sign on January 26th, giving you a nice glow and pleasant energy. Your season will start on February 18th and a New Moon in your sign two days later invites you to start afresh. Plan your new beginnings carefully because Saturn, the planet of restriction and timing, enters your sign on March 7th. It may bring obstacles or delays so you should make sure you’re doing things right (and the right way!). Neptune is still in your sign, sometimes covering reality with its veil of dreaminess. You will have plenty of opportunities to readjust your trajectory or plans with more clarity in June when Saturn and Neptune go retrograde in your sign.
Or how planning and dedication bring in anything you want!

On December 23rd at 10.16 am GMT, the Sun and the Moon (at its closest point to Earth) will be conjunct at 1° of Capricorn creating a significant Super New Moon.
The year has been under the influence of a strong square between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus that highlighted areas of friction between the old way of doing things, the search for control and stability (Saturn) and the new way of doing, experiencing life, the rebel touch, the revolutionary one (Uranus). As the end of 2022 is approaching, this disharmonious aspect is easing up and we’ll be able to breathe some fresh air and have new perspectives as we jump into 2023!
The Super New Moon has a strong emphasis on new beginnings as it the second of a total of 5 new moons in a row that are at 1° of their sign. The first degree of a sign is like a seed containing the realm of infinite possibilities and coupled with a Super New Moon, it means that the power of creation, of building our dreams and our reality is extremely strong. This lunation represents the perfect time to set your intentions and follow up on what you started or wished for under the Sagittarius New Moon in November.
The sign of Capricorn and its ruling planet Saturn are highlighted with this New Moon. (At the time of the latter, five planets are in Capricorn!) Whether we’re talking about the sign or the planet, strategic thinking is absolutely necessary. The Sea-Goat and the God of Time and Karma are no joke. This lunation is inviting you to see beyond restrictions (self-imposed or mental) and reflect on deeper questions about legacy, time and projects in the long run. No cheap sentiment is allowed with those two! And effort is required!
This potent Super New Moon is crucial if you want to manifest a better self-discipline, dedication to a project, more productivity, building some long-term and sustainable business, manifesting (from good quality products to a new job) and career evolution. This is also the final New Moon of the year 2022 so I’d make it big if I were you!
Wishing you beautiful manifestations, lots of dreams becoming reality and a wonderful festive season! You can find below in which area every zodiac sign will be influenced. As always, check for your big 3 (Sun, Moon and Ascendant)!
Aries: home life, your house, maternal/significant female figures, ancestry, motherhood

On December 8th, at 4.07 am GMT, the Moon at 16° of Gemini will sit opposite the Sun at 16°Sagittarius thus creating a Full Moon in Gemini. This lunation is not the easiest one as the Moon is exactly conjunct Mars retrograde in Gemini: frustration and impatience could show up in situations and provoke chaotic conversations! With Mercury, the ruler of Gemini being in Capricorn, the keywords in any form of communication are observation, listening, analysis and calm. When we experience erratic planetary alignments, remember to bite your tongue before you speak, it’ll save the day (and possibly your life too!).
What is this all about?
This Full Moon puts an emphasis on communication, information, wit, higher mind, learning, details and of course duality and having a kaleidoscopic view of life. A thoughtful and considerate approach to all matters is essential as impatient and repressed Mars is burning inside and ready to be unleashed through violent words and thoughts. You may look (with a fresh pair of eyes) at a project or an idea that you had put aside or even abandoned. La luna might even make you reconsider something and give it another chance. The energy of mutable signs is strong and this is an invitation to be adaptable, flexible and less fixated on what and how situations, people and discussions should be. On the bright side, this Full Moon could very much bring some odd clarity about the changes you need to implement to build the future you want.
With that in mind, here are the horoscopes for each zodiac sign. You can read for your Sun, Moon and Ascendant signs. They will give you a more complete picture of what is in store for you!
Aries: All forms of communication are highlighted for you with this lunation. Whether it’s a text, an email, a conversation at work or even a TikTok you want to record, please be mindful and choose your words carefully. They are very powerful now and may make or break deals and relationships. If you need a change of scenery, avoid crowded places and busy streets and be careful while driving, quiet is all you need! On a positive note, you might receive messages or calls that will help you move on from a toxic or draining situation. Keep an open mind and don’t rush to reply!
Taurus: Your self-worth along with the value and time you give yourself are under the spotlight with the Gemini Full Moon. You might want to reassess some boundaries, reconsider the way you communicate about yourself and start embodying the person you really want to be. It all starts in the head before it becomes a habit… and this Moon can help you limit negative self-talk and get things going. Beware of impulsive spending, this won’t soothe you after an argument or a difficult conversation. If you’re too opinionated at work, this may backfire so take it easy and try to see situations through various lenses.
Gemini: This is your time to do what you do best Gemini: blending light with shadow, playing with nuances, stretching your thoughts and calming any problematic matter with your diplomatic tongue. You might feel exhausted from an overthinking mind and be tempted to turn into a careless and detached creature. Rest is especially important for you now as it will bring clarity and ideas about the changes you want to see in your life. This Moon in your sign is asking you to balance the twins out in order to find peace despite the chaos surrounding you. When you master your mind, you master your life and this is absolutely true for you now. Pause before you speak and read carefully before signing anything.
Cancer: What is happening behind the scenes of your subconscious may appear clearly with this lunation. Secrets, hidden truths and coping mecanisms that you had put under the carpet are likely to pop up through your dreams and interactions with the world. And it might feel uncomfortable or even scary. Don’t be afraid and trust your ability to be flowing like the river, this is not happening to you but for you. Change will be positive as deep psychological blocks are being highlighted so you can remove them. You are gathering essential information, the work you’re doing now will bear fruits later. Also, you may experience some spiritual awakening, stay hydrated!
Leo: La luna is shining her light on your tribe, your friends, your dreams and wishes for the future. A new piece of insight might make you change plans or reconsider an old dream. Please take your time to think clearly and creatively about this wish as it may carry the seed of a bright future. Timelines have changed and so have you, what seemed impossible before is totally attainable now. If a project or a future plan includes people, be thoughtful when you communicate with them and don’t make promises you may break later. If you’re building an audience, diplomacy and open-mindedness are your strongest tools!
Virgo: We can never control the way people see us, right? However, we can control what we say and how we say it. And this is exactly what you might have to think about with this Full Moon. You may have been frustrated in your career, you may have experienced delays for a promotion or recognition. If this is the case, anger might be all piled up in your stomach right now and it’s probably very disturbing. It is time you communicate your needs clearly but also kindly: it will be heard and situations will change for the better. Bonus: you’ll be the pragmatic and mature one and it suits you wonderfully. If you have to sign a contract or an agreement, read it thoroughly and ask if you need more information.
Libra: The Full Moon is shining bright on your higher purpose, higher education, life philosophy and beliefs. You might feel the urge to communicate about how you envision your future, your goals and to state what matters are significant in your life. You may reconsider an idea, a project or even a place that you once thought uninteresting. Whatever you you want to write or talk about, do it in a beautiful Libra fashion: with balance and poise. You won’t regret it. Some insight could be found in a book or a conversation with a teacher or someone older, let it settle and don’t dismiss it! If a specific culture is appealing to you, there’s a reason, dig deeper!
Scorpio: This lunation isn’t the easiest one for you but it will help you move on in some way. You probably experienced deep emotional turnmoil with the eclipses in your sign and this Full Moon is closing this circle. It’s highlighting your shared resources, your intimacy and the way your psyche works. In other words, heavy stuff. Some conversations will be important, especially about finances (yours and your partner/family…) but remember to be careful with your words: you can’t unsay things. If you’ve been through trouble connecting to your own intimate self, you will find useful information and practices that may soothe you. You can expect some blocks to be removed but it requires mindful communication and the ability to be flexible in the way you approach any conversation.
Sagittarius: It’s all about partnerships, contracts and also legal matters for you. Whether a situation has been unfair for too long or a partnership feels out of balance, it’s time to address it. However, your usual style of communicating won’t do. No flames and no targets please! If you can infuse a good dose of considerate energy into your daily exchanges (chit-chat, texts, emails, long talks) you will not only gather interesting info but also make your point in a healthy way. Don’t forget the bigger picture and choose your battles and your words wisely. This Full Moon is asking you to listen and take into account what people have to say, it’s ok to change your mind or behaviour towards someone or something. Act with calm and grace, it’s for you, not for them.
Capricorn: La luna hits your daily life, work routine, colleagues and physical health sector. Work load, work schedule and even colleagues may have been on your nerves for the last few months and now it’s reaching a climax. You are likely to have conversations at work about practices or behaviours you can’t take anymore. It might have impacted your daily life, sleep pattern and stamina. You may want to say it in a very straightforward manner but please don’t sabotage your efforts and all the hard work you’ve been doing. Keep your goals in mind and try to approach situations from a higher perspective, it will help. Take plenty of rest if it’s necessary (no excuse needed) and spend time with your pets if you have some, it’s a bullet proof remedy for stress and anxiety. By the end of December, everything will feel smoother.
Aquarius: What is it that you want to express creatively? How can you communicate with more fun and ease? This Full Moon is highlighting your hobbies, your romance and passion and the way you have fun. Is there anything new that you want to try? If it’s the case, communicate about it, do some research and let things unravel beautifully for you. Don’t rush though, or you may experience frustration for having started too fast. If you are in love, this is the perfect timing to say it with carefully chosen words: now more than ever, your voice has the power to uplift the souls, heal the minds and tame the wildest hearts! News, significant messages or information could reach you through technology (and especially social media and group chats).
Pisces: Your home (physical and emotional), your roots and ancestry and the relationships you have with important maternal or female figures are all under the spotlight with this Full Moon. You could feel the need to communicate and ask questions about your lineage, family tree, ancestors and so on. Information will come to you, however it may be in an unorganised or even chaotic way. If there are difficulties and obstacles in the heart of your home, it is a good time to address them with benevolence and care. Some people from your close family, especially females, could react quite strongly and even push your buttons: hold your tongue and refrain yourself from saying things you may regret later. Complicated situations will improve by the end of the year, hang on!
Because even the smallest of words can be the ones to hurt you or save you.
Or how to make space before the Universe does it for you!

On November 8th at 11:01 AM (GMT), the Moon at 16° of Taurus will be opposing the Sun at 16° of Scorpio thus forming a powerful Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Taurus. Full Moons represent a time of release: the Moon shines bright over matters we must improve, situations we must move away from and toxic habits or people we must let go of. A total lunar eclipse on top of all this is like a double dose of your favourite liquor: it hits you once when you finish your glass and a second time when you least expect it!
This Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse occurs on the Taurus-Scorpio axis of the zodiac. It highlights material possessions, self-worth and self-value, comfort, love, introspection and finances.
Along with the intensity of these themes go the notions of destiny (North Node in Taurus), sudden and unexpected shifts (Uranus in Taurus), deeply rooted emotions (Moon in Taurus), inner transformation (Sun in Scorpio), karmic balance (South Node in Scorpio), intricate relationships (Venus in Scorpio) and communication (Mercury in Scorpio). Adding a total lunar eclipse to these topics is asking the question: where exactly in my life things/situations/patterns have to die, shift or disappear so I can get a bright and beautiful rebirth?
Keeping in mind these keywords: change, surprise, love, karma, fate, death and rebirth, here are the horoscopes for each zodiac sign. As always, read your big 3 (Sun, Rising and Moon signs).
Aries: Sudden realisations may happen in the way you value yourself and how much you think you’re worth in relation to your job, finances and material comfort. If you’ve been underestimating yourself or self-deprecating, it’s time to change and see your worth for what it truly is. Remember your past achievements and everything you’ve been able to handle until now. You can do it! Stop your limiting beliefs.
Taurus: Who are you and above all, who do you want to be? You can expect some ‘aha’ moment when it comes to your identity, your core persona and your true self. What habits have you taken out of laziness? What mask have you been wearing to please other people? What needs to be released so you can be and feel yourself? These deep questions will open the door to a bright and powerful new you.
Gemini: Ha! Those subconscious messages that won’t let you sleep… For once, you can decipher them, because this lunar event brings some tools to understand what has been in your mind and yet hidden all this time. Where have you been self-sabotaging? And why? What scares you deeply must be confronted so you can move on. You might receive some insights to unlock the mysteries of your soul.
Cancer: Change of plans is on the horizon! The future you envisioned could be drastically modified if it doesn’t resonate with evolution and improvement. Some of your friendships may be strengthened while some people might be let go of. What is not helpful for your growth, destiny and future needs to be put aside and this Full Moon gives you the perfect amount of courage and rebellion to act accordingly.
Leo: Your social status and career are under the spotlight with this lunation. If your foundations are fair and square, you could be nicely surprised and have a promotion or reach a long awaited goal. If you experience some lack in career or finances, you shall find what or who has been a block all this time and proceed to overcome the situation. Recognition is likely to happen if you’re in a field that suits you.
Virgo: Whether it’s a long-distance journey or a brand new philosophy book, something will shift in your mind and open the doors of perception in a way you’re not accustomed to. Expect sudden awakenings in your belief system and life principles. What kind of thoughts have you been harnessing and were they authentic enough or resonating with your true mind? If they were forming bigger blocks than solutions, it’s now time to switch them!
Libra: Oh, the things we do for love or jealousy! Time to take a good look at your carnal desires and intense relationships. Are they serving you or depleting you from your energy and optimism? If the relationship is not right for you, you can be sure it will change or disappear. Your shared resources are under the limelight, any imbalance or shortcoming will be addressed so you can start again on a clean slate. Deep conversation with your other half could bring quick understanding.
Scorpio: It’s time to look closely at your contracts and partnerships of all sorts and see if there’s anything outdated or unfair. Have you been over-giving or overdoing? Or have you tried to do less and get more advantages? In both cases, it’s likely to change in a sudden or even unexpected manner. It may feel uncomfortable and disturbing at first but you know it will unravel harmoniously later on! Some partners (work related or not) will be out of your life if you’ve outgrown them and that’s for the best.
Sagittarius: What kind of bad habits or toxic patterns should you change in your routine? What kind of unhealthy foods or situations have you been into? The skies are asking you to leave behind what’s detrimental to you on a daily basis and at work with your colleagues. Some truths might come up in professional conversations and make you cut lose some work-related relationships. If you don’t act now to take care of yourself, this Full Moon will help you (and it may feel awkward).
Capricorn: You can expect a big shift in your romance, creativity and fun area. You may have been focusing on serious matters, work and annoying tasks but this is going to change. La luna is highlighting the path to creative ideas and fun (that you can implement in your work as well)! Any love relationship that is not for your highest good will exit, one way or another. Inspiration might appear swiftly through flashes or vivid imagery, take the first step towards it, you will feel refreshed and renewed.
Aquarius: Home is where the heart is as they say. So the question is: how does home feel like to you? You may have the urge to redecorate your space, move the furniture around or even look for a new place. If you ever felt suffocating in between your house walls, the time is right for a change. A maternal figure could help you see clearly (and even bring solutions to) what has been missing in your home life. Relationships with the mother are realigned for your well-being.
Pisces: Readjustments take place in your day-to-day communication, especially with neighbours, your community and siblings. You’ll understand very clearly what people want from you and you may discover good souls that will become part of your tribe. On the other hand, some disappointments are likely to be felt and you may let go of some ‘friends’. In any case, communication will show you what you need to see. An unexpected short-distance trip could occur, some kind of last-minute booking and it’s perfect now!
There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

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!)

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.
