We have a mysterious New Moon in Scorpio, on Saturday, November 18th, at 6:40 a.m., edt.
Believe it or not, besides the Scorpio domination in the cosmic energy, the major player here is Neptune!! Neptune in Pisces is activating the expansion of love, creativity, spirituality, beauty, and comforts, all in the water signs of Scorpio and Pisces. The Lady of the night and the mystic of the sea are calling you....
There is also a gorgeous bi-quintile ( the often ignored, but magical aspect) between Neptune and Mars, and Lilith. The mysterious, independent, and amazingly creative, and lest we forget, magical, female, makes her way through your psyche, luring you into the temptations of euphoria of the mermaid's realm.... or the dangers of the siren's forbidden lair. Only you can decide. But decide you must.
Will you head the call of the feminine mystique in the midst of this Scorpio night sky? The new moon promises healing and escape....but only through inner wisdom and outer healing. Sounds strange, doesn't it? Well....that's Scorpio for you. You must decipher the meaning for your own life. Grasp it if you will. Know it if you can. Not only is Scorpio a deep, deep well of ancient depth, with the capacity to emerge transformed, but also it is represented in old astrology as an eagle, soaring to heights that have been captured by earthly knowledge.
The mythology of the story, Rhiannon, comes from Wales. I have visited Wales, and can tell you I felt the mystery of the land and the people as very, very, magical. You could feel the energy of the devotion to land and mythology. The ancient stories are in the eyes of the natives. If Scorpio energy had a home base, this would be it.
The Sun and the Moon in Scorpio also make a secret connection to Saturn (bypassing Uranus), checking in for confirmation, while Saturn makes a stupendous trine to Uranus. Saturn is large and in charge here. While Mercury is conjunct Saturn and trining the North Node, it's significance cannot be ignored. We are all going through the examination process.... Have we chosen our correct destiny? Have we chosen the right road to that destiny? Are we keeping the best company? Have we learned our lessons? (Huge drum roll.....)
Because the void-of-course begins almost immediately after the new moon becomes exact (leave it to Scorpio to pull off that one), set your new moon intentions after 1:59 p.m., Saturday, eastern USA time, until November 20th, Monday, at 7:26 p.m., eastern time.
Decide what you want to begin anew, even if it's ongoing wishes and dreams. Focus on self renewal, transformation. Desire to stir your creativity, your inner talents, especially unknown and secretive. Begin the process of following your hunches, your intuition. With Neptune and Scorpio so dominant here, you can really tap into the magical process!! Allow your intuition and "psychic" urges to play out. Even if you are a militant earthy person who sees this as tom-foolery, go ahead. Why not? You may have fun...
Remember the abandoned souls, the animals, the abused, the sick, the elderly, the children.
Give thanks for all you have. Let go and be creative. Use this gift of creative energy for the greater good.
We have a Full Super Moon in Taurus exact at 1:22 a.m., edt., on November 4th, Saturday! This moon will be physically positioned very close to the earth, therefore making it extremely potent, in addition to the intensity it already is building.
The goal is to balance the earthy, stability seeking qualities of Taurus with the intense, transformative, secret power of Scorpio. This is not an easy feat. It's not that these two polarities are difficult to balance, there is a certain amount of respect for each type of energy, it's just that both energies like to be the alpha player. The key is to utilize the creative, metaphysical power of Neptune, and the expansive power of Jupiter, the two helpful entities positioned in this line up.
Neptune, Jupiter, and Pluto are the major players for this earthy Taurus moon. And they are very, very important. Neptune (retrograde and in mystical Pisces right now, helping us to see the truth of our fantasies) makes stunning aspects to Jupiter, the Sun, Moon, and Pluto. Wow. This is exactly what the doctor ordered.
We have 5 planets in a water sign, mainly Scorpio, to enable the needy earth of Taurus, and Pluto in Capricorn, to absorb the necessary liquid, allowing for the comfort and metaphysical luxury the Taurus moon craves. Sounds complicated? Why yes, yes it is. I will attempt to translate all this.
The mighty Sun in Scorpio will challenge the comfortable neediness of the Taurus moon to see beyond our personal spaces, into what we have delivered our souls into at this time. Something still needs to be changed. The really nice thing is Neptune in Pisces allows (or can allow) the intense drama to be calmed and soothed with creativity, spirituality, benevolence, and empathy. As this all takes place from the 7th house of relationships, and of course the full moon is about relationships anyways, this can have a healing effect on the heartache and wounds. The great news is that Scorpio and Pisces do get along. Maybe the intense glare of that Scorpio sun will be scolded into playing nice. Jupiter can expand all that Neptune beauty and really help things along.
Venus, the planet of love and beauty, and comfortable in the sign of the Taurus moon, will still have to conform to the lessons of headmaster Saturn. The moon will have a little trouble balancing this out, because you know, Taurus wants what Taurus wants. But is this really a bad thing? Shouldn't love be stable, secure, rock solid, and reliable? Uranus adds a strong element to surprise and possible big changes in love relationships. What kind of changes? I don't know. It depends on the individual soul. I see Lilith having some trouble this time around, and with that Venus in a pickle, this means watch your karma in relationships. What does that mean? It depends on you.
In the end, the meaning of this moon is to balance and blend the needs between the ego and the soul, the me and the you, the metaphysical, spiritual and earthiness. Say you, Say me....

My advice is to hang out with a creative, metaphysically inclined soul. Explore new options in relationships. Allow the changes to manifest. Enjoy the mystical qualities in this moon! Explore your spirituality, whatever that means to you. Allow the energies to saturate the dry earthy aspects of your life and soul.
-Remember those in need, especially the children, elderly, abandoned souls, and animals.
-Try not to play the fool in love. Have boundaries (Saturn), but go ahead and enjoy!
-Spend extra time in any metaphysical/spiritual activities, especially if you have a spiritual business.
-Pursue healing involving water and spirituality. Indulge in prayer, creativity, and humanitarianism.
-Go to a spa, a museum, a concert, a movie, or a play! Immerse yourself in music!
-Go out in the moonlight and charge your crystals and candles, whatever you want to boost in full moon energy.
-Be careful, be grateful, be content...
Watch your karma. Everyone. Not just some. You. And me. We all have things we need to revisit and heal. Soon Neptune and Uranus will go direct and all planets will be full speed ahead, for a while. Soon Saturn will be in Capricorn for 2 1/2 YEARS!! This is important. We will be called accountable for our recent actions. We must make the necessary changes to help ALL on the road to spiritual, physical, and soul healing....
Have a beautiful full moon weekend. Say you, Say me....
Be careful out there....
"...and remember what peace there may be in silence."

We will have a Full Moon in Aries, on Thursday, October 5th, at 2:40 p.m., edt.
In light of all the sadness, it is difficult to, at times, to be hopeful and positive....and at peace. Having said that, I am presenting as a song to this post, "The Desiderata" by, Max Ehrmann.

The Aries moon will be challenging, and at times difficult. There is always goodness somewhere with our moon, but the key to understanding this full moon phase is to try to stay balanced and focused. Also, try not to react. Emotionally. Too much.
The Moon in Aries opposes Mercury and the Sun in Libra, and squares Pluto. The Sun will also square Pluto. You may experience a conflict or a frustration between relationships and your ego-self. Aries is forceful and ambitious, also energetic and confident. Libra loves balance and relational bliss. There may be some awareness of changes with Pluto involved in deep transformation this time around. My advice is to ride it out, without reacting, unless necessary.
With a serious and positive aspect between Uranus and Saturn, don't be surprised if you see sudden changes for the better in long-term traditional and stable relationships, personal, business, and/or familial.
The full moon is always meant to end a cycle of manifestation. What you have sowed, you will reap. All of your good efforts and intentions will come full circle. If you do experience dramatic change (that you may or may not like), it is for the better in the long run. Remember. Try. Not. To. React.
Enjoy the beauty of the moon and the stars, and the glory of nature. Pray for all people, animals to be at peace and experience healing in these very, very sad days. Be happy for the children and the animals. Help others. Especially the abandoned and abused, the sick and the lonely, the confused and the downtrodden. It still is a wonderful world.....
We have a mystical Full Moon in Pisces on Wednesday, September 6th, that is exact at 3:02 a.m., edt.
Ahh, the Pisces Moon. Ooh, the Pisces Moon conjuncting Neptune in Pisces. Magic, dreams, fantasy, poetry, music and art, love and romance make this a perfect moon for the mystical artist. Seriously, this is the time to create....it is also the time to help others. The top 2 best qualities of a Pisces Moon are helping and creating.
It is also a time for tears and weeping, tender spots psychically and emotionally, will be activated during this time. Try not to be sad and melancholy. Most of it is the watery melancholy moon. Of course it will affect everyone differently, but this moon should be carefully guarded.
In the words of the great poet himself....
"Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more;
And be you blithe and bonnie,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny."
William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing
Again, on the upside, this is a time for creating. Create what you will, how you will. Even if you don't consider yourself creative, you can think of something. Let go of your fear and see where your fantasies lead you....Let your imagination take you "to the starry skies, maybe to an astral plane, cross the highways of fantasy, help me to forget today's pain..."

Dream Weaver by, Gary Wright
We have a grand trine in the fire element, with air in Jupiter anchoring a kite. What does that mean? There is a nice balance of all the elements, air, fire, earth, water. With the moon opposing the Sun in Virgo, this is your chance to make
your dreams and goals from the last New Moon Solar Eclipse in fiery Leo come back to earth on solid ground, drenched with the silky liquid of
Pisces and Neptune. Virgo energy is very earthy, practical,
analytical, sensible. This can help with all the emotions that could flood your soul. With all that fire from the last eclipse, watery Pisces
should be a welcome relief. Pluto in Capricorn, also in an earth element, is acting like the guardian of the galaxy, anchoring the ship of dreams in Pisces and Neptune.
Ah well, really all that matters is you enjoy this luscious opportunity to let go and let be. You should be able to feel the dreamy waves of energy rippling around you. Allow the moonlight to glisten in your soul. Give thanks for all that is good. Help people. Help animals. Pray. Rest. Dream.
Volunteer for a cause. Donate to a cause. Houston, Texas, is a good place to devote your resources, as we all know too well.
Connect with your guardian angels, the faeries, the elementals, the nature angels, your spirit guides.
Give thanks for what you have, as we all know, too well, some out there have almost nothing. Avoid excessive alcohol, self-medicating toxins, dangerous escapism. I know a full moon can be challenging and sometimes seems too much to bear, but do latch on to the flowing beauty of this one. The effects of the last lunar and solar eclipse are still radiating, so be careful, but try not to fear.
Just in case you haven't heard, we will be experiencing an ASTOUNDINGNew Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Leo, on Monday, August 21st, at 2:30 p.m., edt.
This is not only a spectacular physical event for our galaxy, but it is also a profoundly spiritual event. The dark moon (new moon) will eclipse the Sun for a time, darkening certain parts of Earth, as well as our shadow sides to our souls. During the process, the hidden aspect of the Moon will reveal it's side to the Sun, out of our "sight". In turn, the Sun will confront and "burn", or "singe" our karmic waste. As the eclipse passes, the wheel-of-fortune will set in motion our new directions and pathways. We mere humans have absolutely no control over this cosmic event. Our only option is to abide by the universal phenomena. This is an awe-inspiring event to help us renew and refresh our soul's journey, God's plan, our plan, in evolving spiritually, physically, and metaphysically.
Can you feel it? It is happening now. It's surrounding you everywhere you turn. This larger than life energy can take your breath away, and open your eyes to new life and new wonders. It builds until the moment of the exactness, then reveals the transformed energy in rushing waves of wonder and magic.
This reminds me of the poem (one of my favorites) about a journey to the exquisite island of Ithaka, both real and mythological.
"As you set out for Ithaka
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
angry Poseidon- don't be afraid of them:
you'll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body"
Excerpt from Ithaka, by C.P. Cavafy, a Greek poet
Here is the link to read the whole poem. Trust me, you want to read this.
When the eclipse passes, it should be a beautiful and glorious new beginning of hope, healing, and of course, for some of us, atonement and absolution. "It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright sun-shiney day...." in the words of Leo Johnny Nash, whose birthday is this week. Here is the perfect eclipse song by a Leo, who knows just what to say!

Astrologically, the placements of the planets look spectacular. There are beautiful trines between the Sun, Moon, Saturn, Uranus,and Mars. The secret lies in Old Man Saturn. He finally has his day in the Sun. All these past months of warnings and lessons have brought us to the apex of karmic confrontation. He is finally satisfied with what needs to be done. The North Node is activated to remind us of our life's purpose, possibly the long forgotten dreams of many moons ago.
With 5 celestial bodies, including the Sun, Moon, Mars in Leo, as well as all that fire sign energy, this is the time to shine. The only tension may be with Venus in Cancer squaring off Uranus in Aries, and Jupiter in Libra. But alas, Venus will soon be in Leo and chasing the Sun, so ride it out and soak in the warm rays of the Royal Leo Sun and the loving Leo Moon. Jupiter is anchoring Saturn and Mars and feeding ever lovin' mystical Neptune. Uranus is offering some pizzazz to the mix, snapping and sizzling. Remember there are 5 planets retrograde now so it may feel very strange as you internalize all this and experience it over time. The effects will last almost 6 months until the next eclipse in February
2018, a partial solar eclipse in Aquarius, who is waiting patiently for his day.
I see good things for this eclipse. One word of advice I would give is, "Don't fly too close to the Sun. Don't cross the point of no return because there is no turning back." Remember Saturn's purpose for humanity is to teach patience, goodness, truthfulness, honor and integrity. These are Leo's best qualities (maybe not the patience part)!!
Ask yourself, "What would the Queen (or King) do?" Serve others with love, patience, truth, honor and integrity.
Don't forget we are still riding the coat tails of the last Full Moon Eclipse from 2 weeks ago. Some lingering emotional energy may still be noticeable. The nights in white satin have now moved us into the bright sunshine and blue skies of the Sun in Leo, and the enchanting glowing light of the Moon in Leo.

During a full moon, you put your trinkets under the moonlight to charge by the light of the Moon, but I say during a solar eclipse put them out in the Sun. I put my items on a window sill or in the sunroom where the light hits in the afternoon. Do it now. For a few days before, and a lunar cycle after, place your crystals, your favorite jewelry, your photographs, your bank cards, anything you want energized, in the sun, or near a window to catch the golden rays.
Here are some tips to enjoy, preserve, and benefit metaphysically from the eclipse:
-Because this is no ordinary New Moon, use energy from all the elements; fire (the sun), water, (the moon), air, and earth. Light candles or start a bonfire. Go swimming, visit a waterfall, or activate a fountain. Hang a windchime, raise a flag, ride like the wind. Plant a moonflower, walk through the forest, go out in nature. Anything that involves balancing the 4 elements is great!
-Set powerful long term optimistic goals that are best for you. You musn't wish for anything that will harm others.
-Be out in the sun as much as possible.
-Be out in the moonlight as much as possible, even though you can't see the waxing moon immediately, it's still there.
-Wear your crown, remember you are royalty. Carry your scepter!
-Be generous, kind, loving and just. These are the best Leo qualities.
-Go to a concert, be in a play, you are the star of your own show.
-Play, be active physically, take up a new sport or exercise routine, even if it's yoga.
-Spruce up your faerie and gnome villages. They will be out in droves, ya know?
-Balance out all that sizzling, simmering fire energy with some smooth flowing water.
-Keep a journal for the next 6 months, if you normally don't.
-Sage and oil your home and environment, workplace too, if you can.
The King and Queen should take care of the people, sign up to give or volunteer for a noble cause!
Wait a few days for the energy to settle before you set your intentions. If it's too soon, you may change your mind, because you will, beyond a shadow of a doubt, feel differently after this eclipse. The strongest period would be August 23rd at 9:05 p.m., until August 26th, at 1:36 a.m. Set intentions that you believe will match your new life purpose, and especially plans for the next 6 months. Avoid void-of-course moons. Keeping a diary or journal will be beneficial in tracking events.
I've attached a few links to help understand the physical phenomenon of the eclipse. Just click and go!
Don't fear the energy. Count your blessings and be thankful. Understand that everyone's personal chart is different, so it will affect people in different ways. The change is meant for good, but sometimes even good change can be stressful. Know the difference.
This eclipse really is a magnificent phenomenon, one that we have not seen in a while, nor will we for a long time. The last New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Leo was in 1998. You can look back at that time and see what was beginning and how you have come full circle.
Watch out for the animals and pets at this time. They will react differently. Care for the elderly, especially, as Saturn trines the Sun and the Moon. Keep your eyes open for those faeries and elementals. Who knows? Maybe you'll spot a unicorn...
So here's a flashback to get y'all in the mood (again)! Just don't run out and get a perm, ya hear?

We will be having a luscious Full Moon and partial Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius on Monday, August 7th, at 2:09 p.m., eastern time.
Welcome to eclipse season. This is cause for attention! Although we won't be able to see it in the USA (across the pond and the globe there will be some visibility), you will most definitely feel it, sooner or later... It will be a partial physical eclipse, but trust me, the metaphysical eclipse will be anything but partial. As with a Full Moon, the Sun, Moon, and Earth will be aligned, with the Sun and Moon opposite each other.
In this case a shadow will cross over the Moon, with the Earth in between the Moon and the Sun. It's really all very strategic. There will be a brief time when you will experience a soul encounter, an encounter to transform and face your shadows. Almost promptly, you will experience an enlightenment, when the Sun shines brightly on the beautiful Moon. In this case, the Sun is in courageous, bold, and self-confident, ego based Leo. Once the timing is exact, the effects will linger for weeks, sometimes more....as I'm sure many people may have already been feeling the onset.
Months and months, sometimes years, of our journeys in life will be confronted in some way, either small or large, and become transformed, or even enriched. Yes, a Full Moon is an end of sorts, but I always say endings bring new beginnings. The aspects with the planets are going to affect everyone differently, depending on the placement of their personal moon chart, but honestly, this is going to be obvious to each and every one. With the Moon in, pretty much emotionally stable Aquarius, and the Sun in warm and generous Leo, we can use this time to align our paths in ways to be beneficial to ourselves and people in our lives, and also the world at large.
Aquarius is the humanitarian, the visionary, the intelligent problem solver, the good friend of one and all. This is a time to reach out to the energy field and put out some positive vibes. Although Leo can be very self-centered at times, and with this Leo Sun opposing a detached Aquarian energy field, it may seem difficult, but the balance can be achievable. A healthy ego can help humanity and those that dwell within. Spread the light. Spread the vibration. Confront your shadows and be done with it.
A Plutonian (deep churning transformation) challenge with Jupiter (the expanding optimist always wanting more), will need to face the possible discomfort of ego disappointments. But with the Aquarius Moon, the discovery of a deeper meaning and a brighter light will be the ultimate reward in a necessary eclipse of the soul. For relationships, remember this is a Full Moon, you may be surprised with a spiritual revelation, as Neptune is involved. Let's also not forget the magic. Neptune (the magician), Venus (beauty and love), Mercury (the messenger), and Pluto (transformation), are making a nice connection. There can be depth, love, fantasy, and....magic.....just like nights in white satin.

There are so many beautiful aspects to this phenomenon of a Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse. Old Saturn is looking positive to bring some karma coming your way for all the good energy you have put out. If you help your fellow human, you will be rewarded. Uranus will bring some surprises, hopefully all good ones, to your pathway. There are 4 major planets retrograde right now, soon to be 5, so this is the time to set yourself right. We will all go through a period of waiting and retrospecting soon enough.
There is magic to be made in love, healing of soul and body, spreading light outwardly, far and wide. Aquarius is an air sign and Leo is fire. Fan the flame of lunar glow and sun's light. Take care of the animals, the children, the lonely, the sick, the abandoned, the abused, and mother nature. Go out at night in the moonlight and gasp at the wonder of the universe. Thank God for your blessings. Thank yourselves and others for life and goodness.
And remember, "For all it's sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world", from The Desiderata.
