New Moon in Scorpio

October 30th, 2024

Or how to get to the bottom of something!

On November 1st, the Sun and the Moon, conjunct at 9° of Scorpio will give us a deep New Moon in Scorpio at 12:46 GMT.

The sign of Scorpio is connected to mystery, research, investigation, truth, psychology, courage to dig deep to uncover something and also power play and jealousy. It is a very intuitive sign and when in alignment, Scorpios can be invicible.

Under this New Moon, while it’s a great idea to set intentions (the energy is strong, the veil is thin!) it is also very important to take a clear and unbiased look at what we really want in life and why. This lunation is perfect to understand the deeply-rooted patterns and mechanisms of our desires and to help us manifest them faster: when we know the exact reason why we want to achieve a goal, it gives us strength and stamina even in the face of adversity.

Both the Sun and the Moon are in trine to Saturn in Pisces and this means that we not only have the tenacity and discipline to work on ourselves but also the fluidity to readjust and adapt to what works best for us. Our gut instinct is quite activated at that time so connecting our heart, mind and soul is incredibly beneficial for our progress.

The Sun and the Moon in Scorpio are in a square to Pluto (the ruler of Scorpio) in Capricorn and this feels to me as a strong rollercoaster like emotional life but also the needed push to evolve and take the next (however difficult) step. With a bit of grounding and calming practices, we’ll be able to go through these choppy waters and get out more mature and skilled!

On a more global note, Pluto in Capricorn is opposite Mars in Cancer and this highlights power struggles and political structures. This aspect along with the New Moon in Scorpio could bring new truths about a political party or even big changes in the wider world.

New intentions, strong emotions and a way to dive deep into our psyche to soar back more experienced… This is what this lunation has in store for us.

Wishing you a meaningful New Moon in Scorpio 🤍🤍🤍

New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Libra

September 30th, 2024

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

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 🤍🤍🤍

Super Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

September 16th, 2024

Or how to tune into your intuition, see clearly, jump timelines and make huge progress!

On September 18th, we will experience a very intense Super Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 25° of Pisces. Let’s get ready!

Eclipse season has arrived with remarkable energy, as always. Eclipses bring potent energy, fated changes and a sense of destiny. No matter the shape it takes, something will definitely shift in our life!

This Super Full Moon Eclipse is occuring on the Virgo/Pisces axis, highlighting the need to find balance between the realm of infinite possibilities and the structure required to build a dream life. It also focusses on the concept of service, for oneself, for others and in ethereal and physical spaces.

Pisces is the ruler of many different things, compassion, intuition, dreams, ghosts, mental health, addictions, dissociative behaviours, hidden fears, liminal spaces, imaginition and the infinity of everything… And the list could go on! With this eclipse, we could suddenly have a profound or even life-changing revelation about a psychologial pattern or behaviour we refused to analyse. It could also appear as a truth, raw and direct about us. It feels like we’re going to take off our rose-tinted glasses and finally address the issue.

Depth, inner knowing and lightbulb moments are very likely to be significant elements as the Moon forms a trine to Uranus in Taurus and a trine to Pluto in Capricorn: deep dive and transformation are just around the corner. Knowledge could appear in dreams, images or meditation. Our psychic abilities are enhanced as the Moon and Neptune are conjunct in Pisces: we will definitely receive messages!

As always with Pisces, we are asked to let go of our ego, illusions and burdens and to go with flow, doing the best with what we currently have. Realisations and transformations are not easy but they are supporting our growth and evolution. I see this Full Moon Eclipse as a pivotal point towards our destiny: the cards have been dealt and we can play the game and win, it all depends on our will to do good and our faith in the Universe.

Wishing you all blessings and miracles 🤍🤍🤍

Or how to double-check everything and avoid a false start!

Adi Goldstein on Unsplash

On September 3rd, at 01:55 GMT, the Moon and the Sun, conjunct at 11° of Virgo will give us a complex New Moon in Virgo.

A New Moon is always on point for thinking about our future, about our intentions and what we want to create in this time and space reality. In Virgo, it is usually a great time to start fresh and on a clean slate, making sure that everything is in order before taking action.

Under this New Moon however, it feels like time has stopped and obstacles have appeared. Mercury is retrograding in Virgo and this feels like delays, vagueness, fluctuations and miscommunication of all sorts. Double-checking every document and piece of information is an absolute must now. The Sun and the Moon are opposing Saturn in Pisces and this is another nudge to be extra careful: if we rush or do things without proper structure or the right legislation, we might pay the price later on.

This lunation really feels like a warning to avoid a false start, preparation and timing are key and the energy is quite heavy. This New Moon is the first step towards eclipse season and deep changes.

The outer planets, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto are well aspecting one another but they are all in retrograde and invite us to take things slow and to rethink, recharge and restructure our plans.

Slow pace, carefully planned organisation and nutritious food and thoughts are what we need to aim at with this lunation!

Wishing you all many blessings 🤍🤍🤍

Full Moon in Aquarius

August 17th, 2024

Or how to succeed despite uncomfort and retrictions!

Nik on Unsplash

On August 19th, 2024, the Moon in Aquarius will oppose the Sun in Leo, both luminaries at 27°, creating a Full Moon in Aquarius, at 18:25 GMT.

Aquarius is known for its independant and rebellious behaviour, always questionning the status quo and ready to embrace novelty and try fresh concepts, especially mentally. The Moon in Aquarius represents a certain detachment from our emotions in order to envision ideas that could have scared us without the proper dose of rationnality.

Stepping away from heart-centred Leo and gathering ideas from higher realms, the Water Bearer can project himself far into the future and has the talent of making his ideas a reality through a logical and sometimes cold approach.

Under this Full Moon, this is exactly what to do! To keep a cool head and a structured plan in order to avoid chaos or dissatisfying results. In fact, the Full Moon is not well aspected to Uranus and this could create confusion, a sudden fear or a lack of confidence. To be able to succeed anyway, we must think about many different possibilities and follow our heart (Sun in Leo) while being detached from the outcome (Moon in Aquarius).

A couple of trines between the Moon and Mars and the Moon and Jupiter give us the big picture and a good dose of optismism and flexibility to keep on going despite the diffculties. Mars helps us fuel our mental energy so we can find solutions quickly and move on.

What could prove to be complicated under this Full Moon is to release obsessions about the way things have to be done. With 5 planets in mutable signs, the Universe is inviting us to be flexible in our ideas and the how to. There are many squares in the chart of this Full Moon and they stand for obstacles and doubts. We have to remember what we want to achieve and keep this idea in mind while navigating through diverse structures and points of view. Adaptability doesn’t mean giving up on our principles or dreams, it is a way to embrace the diversity of the world and to use the best qualities for each task!

This lunation is a fantastic way to assess ourselves and find where we need to be more ‘elastic-like’. Life is a game after all and the winners are the ones who can thrive no matter the environment!

Wishing you all a fun, challenging and so rewarding Full Moon in Aquarius 🤍🤍🤍

New Moon in Leo

Or how to channel inspiration into something worth it!

On August 4, at 11:12 GMT, the Sun and the Moon will be conjunct at 12° of Leo, making it a New Moon in Leo.

Leo is well known for being creative, generous and flamboyant! Sometimes too preoccupied by the outer appearance it is nonetheless a very intuitive and heart-based sign. With the Sun (ruler of Leo) and the Moon (connected to our inner world and emotions), the skies are inviting us to waltz in between boldness and intuition and to blend our artistry with our instincts.

A New Moon is a great reminder of direction. What do we want to do or achieve? What path would we like to take? It’s a time for reflection and intentions. It can be very beneficial to meditate on our goals and use the power of the Moon.

This particular New Moon is very much about our feelings and how we want to express them. How could we harness the power of emotions and make a new reality out of it? Fortunately, both the Sun and the Moon are well aspected to Mars and Jupiter in Gemini: we get quite the perfect cocktail, the will, the intuition, the drive and the luck!

There is definitely some depth coming with this New Moon as Pluto in Aquarius is positively aspecting Neptune in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus: it feels like we are reflecting on our dreams but also on our ideas and they could very well turn into tagible manifestations. We must be careful though, to put in the work as Saturn square Jupiter can be seen as the patriarch who checks if everything is in place following some strict rules.

All in all, this New Moon is about challenging structure and stagnation, with 5 planets in mutable signs and 3 in daring and experience-loving Leo, we can expect movement, fun and a renewed spark of creativity!

Wishing you all a wonderfully creative New Moon in Leo 🤍🤍🤍

Full Moon in Capricorn

July 19th, 2024

Or how to readjust, recharge our batteries and reach our goals!

Ailin Gavriliuc on Unsplash

On July 21st, the Sun at 29° of Cancer is in opposition to the Moon at 29° of Capricorn thus creating the second Full Moon in Capricorn of the year!

This second Full Moon in the sign of Capricorn carries a strong energy of achievement and progress and appears as a mirror to the previous one (June 21st).

Any planet at 29° of any sign is significant in astrology: considered a critical degree point, it is associated with the purest form of the sign, the best or most mature expression of its qualities. In Capricorn, it encapsulates wisdom, diligence, fulfillment, endurance, creative and material success and the blending of intuition and rationality.

No matter where Cappy falls in our personal chart, this lunation is a gentle nudge to take a look at what we’ve accomplished and how our plan unravelled. We’re asked to see our progress with objective eyes and to avoid harsh criticism. The point of this Full Moon is to help us understand what needs to be adjusted and tweaked so we can evolve.

The Moon is in a trine aspect to Mars, Uranus and Black Moon Lilith and this suggests an ease or flow of action, energy and momentum. These planets and asteroid represent power, dynamism, change and repressed desires. When activated by the Full Moon in Capricorn, it feels like magic: raw power and authenticity meet structure and discipline and if we play our cards well, we might enjoy the best of both worlds.

The Moon is also in a sextile to Neptune in Pisces, inviting us to remember our dreams and what motivated us to start our journey (no matter the type of journey that resonates within each one of us!). The biggest successes, the finest masterpieces always come from our dream state, they always start from a liminal space in our soul, between the heart and the mind. The skies are whispering to us that in that flow state lies all that can exist. And with a pure soul and clear mind, we have the power to create anything.

Another sextile between the Moon and the part of fortune is another good omen, luck is going to meet us and we might find solutions or a way out of a problematic situation easily.

All in all, this Full Moon in Capricorn is asking us to think deeply about our path, our authentic self and our values and goals. The Universe is constantly supporting our growth and genuine self so let’s focus on truth, intuition and discipline to reach our full potential!

Wishing you all a wonderful, creative and powerful second Full Moon in Capricorn 🤍🤍🤍

New Moon in Cancer

July 4th, 2024

Or how to nurture our emotions and intentions!

Vero Manrique on Unsplash

On July 5th, at 22:57 GMT, the Moon and the Sun both at 14° of Cancer will offer us a comforting New Moon in Cancer.

A New Moon always feels like a fresh start and in the sign of the Crab, the fresh start is all about nourishment, intuition, inner peace, comfort and security. The sign of Cancer is deeply linked to care and protection and finds its power in its own world within and its roots and ancestral wisdom. At their best, Cancerians are amazing providers of comfort and peace, bringing this maternal energy to the people they love.

With this lunation, the themes expressed above are significant. No matter where Cancer falls in our personal chart, the questions we need to ask ourselves are the following: how can I bring a sense of comfort and safety to myself and to others? What practices should I implement to feel emotionally nurtured and secure? How can I distinguish intuition from anxiety?

This New Moon feels very supportive, the Moon is the most at ease and blissful in Cancer and the chart of this lunation is quite harmonious. A series of trines and sextiles to Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune brings softness and flow to the energy and a subtle yet strong back up for our intentions setting.

There is a lot of water and feminine energy during this New Moon and it plays the role of a soft power and guide. This is not a time to push and act forcefully but rather to let things unravel while knowing that what is meant for us will never pass us by. Like the High Priestess, sitting on a throne with no ceiling above and her feet in the water, we are invited to harmonise our emotions with our subconscious and to let manifestations come to us. Our instinctual side is highlighted now and it is a great gift: the inner compass that guides us to the most beneficial path.

So, after meditating and being in tune with our emotions, we can set intentions and work some Moon Magic! May all ease, comfort and nurturing feelings be ours and may we find peace and security all over the world.

Wishing you all a wonderful New Moon in Cancer 🤍 🤍 🤍

Full Moon in Capricorn

June 20th, 2024

Or how to see the path more clearly!

Abigail Low on Unsplash

On June 22nd at 1:07 GMT, the Moon at 1° of Capricorn will be opposing the Sun at 1° of Cancer, giving us a strong Full Moon in Capricorn.

This the first Full Moon in Capricorn, the second one occuring on July 21st at 29° of Capricorn. This already offers so much insight, the June Full Moon representing a beginning and the July one an ending.

Capricorn is related to our 3D world and body: structure, governement, bones, discipline, responsibilities but also to wisdom, patience and intuition (let us not forget the glyph of the sign, the Sea-Goat, that can dive deep into the inner/instinctual world).

The Full Moon occurs only two days after the Summer Solstice and the beginning of Cancer Season, making its energy very powerful.

So this lunation feels like the beginning of a discovery, it’s like we’re peeking through the veil and getting a glimpse of where we should go and what we should do. Full Moons, after all, light up an area of our life so we can gain some clarity. In Capricorn, it is linked to structure, path and discipline: what can we do to reach our goals and improve our life? What lessons have we learnt and how can we use them to evolve?

The chart of this lunation is interesting because we have a T-Square between the Moon, Neptune and the Sun: we’re seeing more clearly what we should do to feel more comfortable, nurtured and secure. Sometimes, the Sea-Goat keeps on going, ignoring pain and red flags and the Sun, Venus and Mercury in Cancer are acting like a gentle team, reminding us to slow down and nurture ourselves.

A Full Moon is also associated with release and in Cappy, it may mean letting go of an outdated way of doing things, letting go of depreciation and perhaps letting go of workaholic behaviours. We are in Cancer Season, we should try to flow and moreover, the ruler of this Full Moon, Saturn, is in Pisces: less control, more fluidity.

This lunation seems like the first step on a staircase, we might not see all the steps but we are invited to move up, trusting our intuition and releasing the need for control (i.e: knowing everything beforehand). We will discover tools and goodies along the way, let’s just go with the flow!

Wishing you all a wonderful Cancer Season and an eye-opening first Full Moon in Capricorn 🤍🤍🤍

New Moon in Gemini

June 5th, 2024

Or how to write your own story!

Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash

On June 6th, at 12:37 GMT, the Sun and the Moon will be conjunct at 16° of Gemini, gifting us a New Moon in the sign of the Twins.

Gemini rules communication, information, wit, writing, languages among many other things. As the sign of duality, Gemini may appear scattered or two-faced but it’s most likely the expressio of a difficulty to balance both sides. When in harmony and in perfect unity, the Twins can accomplish anything. The ‘only’ obstacle they have to overcome is their inner saboteur… At the time of this New Moon however, with 5 planets in Gemini, luck is on their side and on any part of our chart where Gemini can be found!

This lunation has a real alchemy to it: it seems to me like a game of balancing the Yin and the Yang energies to channel an immense power to manifest our dreams. The Sun and the Moon are in a deep conversation, while Jupiter, Mercury and Venus are gathered around the table as well. The rules are simple, we need to alchemise our feminine and masculine energies: the Moon and the Sun, Venus and Jupiter and last but not least the androgynous Mercury. So keeping our equilibrium between emotions and ego, caring for others and caring for ourselves, receiving information and giving some of it, unifiying our mental body with our physical one is all that we should try to do during this New Moon and Gemini Season as well!

As with all New Moons, we have a clean slate and the opportunity to plant new seeds. With this one, writing intentions is especially potent for 2 main reasons: Gemini rules hands and writing and Jupiter, the bringer of good luck entered Gemini on May 25th. So we better get these dreams on paper and keep our vibration high so they manifest into our reality!

Mercury is very close to Jupiter at the time of the New Moon so we can expect some positive news, great ideas and even new perspectives opening up for us. We might learn some significant pieces of information that will help us get clarity and even a new path!

Both Jupiter and Mercury are in a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius, giving us the green light to write our story as we want it to be, after having gathered wisdom and knowledge. It’s a great time to reinvent ourselves taking the best of our past and moving towards a future full of possibilities.

Jupiter sextile Neptune in Pisces brings some dreamy imagination and definitely helps us dissolve daily anxiety to get into a more flowy state.

The Sun, the Moon and Venus in Gemini are in a square to Saturn in Pisces and I see this aspect as a call for patience (not Gemini’s best asset) and for playing by the rule. Trying to bypass anything won’t work, staying focussed and methodical in our approach is a necessity to be able to turn our dreams into our reality.

Wishing you all plenty of meaningful manifestions 🤍🤍🤍
