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..."

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.
Holy Heck on a flaming stick, Batman!! This Full Moon in Capricorn is taking place on Sunday morning at 12:06 a.m., edt. Yikes Again... I know I usually try to sweeten things up in all my moon sightings, but this one is cause for blinking. Twice. In the words of The Talking Heads, "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around." The aspects have been building already with intensity, and will crescendo at the point of the full moon and throughout the next week, heck even weeks. On the heels of that last weepy Cancer New Moon, this will end the last few
moon phases with a walloping impact.
The Moon in Capricorn is in a very tight squeeze with Pluto in Capricorn. These guys are opposing the Sun in Cancer and Mars in Cancer, who are also neck and neck with each other. So, you see, we have a clashing of opposites. A stand-off. A showdown.
My bet would be on the Moon and Pluto, but Uranus is adding a LOT of tension to Mars, and Mercury, as well. All I gotta say is this. Watch your back. Protect your home life, and your beloved people and possessions from possible , whether real or imagined, intrusions. Venus looks iffy. The aspects look, well, some good and some not so good. At first glance it looks do-able, but then when you least expect it, ladies (and men), the bottom drops from under you. Don't get too comfortable. Full Moons are about relationships, our shadow sides, our hidden selves. Even though the full moon light is bright and glorious, it brings out the hidden. Watch out, because, in the words of William Congreve, "Hell hath no fury like a woman who has been scorned."
Click to hear the full moon song.
Pluto in Capricorn is strong. Very strong. The Moon in Capricorn is unrelenting. They both can be ruthless. And they oppose two very self-centered and snarky planetary aspects. I'll let you unravel your own puzzle. Everyone has their own story.
Having said that, we must absolutely qualify that there ARE some good aspects, and that a full moon really IS for the greater good of your personal and earthly evolution. Some things will come to fruition and manifest from former karmic actions. The spiritual aspect at play here this time around is with Neptune, the Sun, and Pluto. There is a likely camaraderie going on. Change concluding from transformation can take on a mystical "otherworldy" spiritual aspect in your personal lives and some of your relationships.
For those people that love those dark and mysterious full moon rituals with all the bells and whistles, here you go. Thriving under the full moon sky with all that mystical energy is a plus this time around. Don't forget. The moon is in an earth sign. So taking care of the land and nature is important. That includes animals, trees, plants, and the great larger-than-life majestic earthly wonders. Mountains (Capricorn), Caves (Pluto), Canyons (Mars) are to name just a few, although I wouldn't be hanging out in any of them this full moon. Donating your time and care to nature and the earth is a good idea. Also, your spiritual life will benefit big time this time around.
We have a New Moon in Cancer on Friday, June 23rd, at 10:30 p.m., edt.
Oh, the Cancer Moon.....the mother moon....the moon in it's own home. The Cancer moon can be loving, gentle, protective, caring, generous, and giving. It's also very, very spiritual and off-the-chart metaphysical. It's a time to release your inner child, be the child that you miss from long ago. It's a perfect time to think of, and be with, those that have passed on. As well, the Angels and Faeries will be so, so close. Animal spirits can show up out of nowhere while you're outside taking your physical animals for a walk in the garden, by the ocean, or in the woods, either with family, friends, or just enjoying solitude. You may want to cook a cozy feast and invite friends and family over for a new moon celebration. Or just sit in front of a fountain (Cancer + Moon = Water) with a beloved, either a fur-friend or a love-friend. These are a few things that create a perfect atmosphere for a new Cancer moon.
Of course, a new moon is a time to start fresh and begin again. What a beautiful spiritual new moon this can be. This can be the perfect time to start a new spiritual and metaphysical project. Change up some things around the house (Cancer, you know). Create little garden communities (homes for the faeries and knomes...Cancer again). Plant a bird sanctuary, or better yet a fish pond!! All this is Cancer, see? Water, water, water!! Spirituality! Metaphysicality! Home and Hearth! Go for the water healing routines. Go for the meditation and yoga. Now is the time to heal those physical and psychological ailments. Let the healing begin.
Warning, Warning!! Yes, I know....bummer. Cancer moons can also be cranky, moody, stingy, greedy, aloof.....Double the amount of all this good and not-so-good stuff and combine 4 celestial bodies in a tight, tight conjunction and stellium, all in, you guessed it, Cancer. I will say this... watch out for major drama. If you hang with a dramatic crowd, steer clear. Unless you like that kind of thing. The drama can be fun, or innocent....but it can also be jealous, possessive, and deceitful. However, don't let this stop you from enjoying those cozy enjoyments. Just know that the tears may fall, the heart may break. Try, oh try, not to self-medicate with harmful drink and substance. The temptation will be there. Really, the severity or intensity of all these things depends on your personal chart and personal moon sign.
Venus doesn't look so bad, that is, if you have survived the chaos of the last year's lunar cycles. The intense energy is there with Mars, the excitement is there with Mercury, of course the heat of the Sun is there to warm up the scenario. This is the perfect weekend to "make a baby", if I may say so. Neptune promises dreamy poetry and bright moonbeams of secret wishes to ponder and plan with stars of hope in your eyes.
Neptune in Pisces aspects with the Moon in Cancer can really be a game changer with those magic spells that you weave with your hearts. Oh, the poetry of it all....can you tell this author is a Piscean with a Cancer Moon? Hmm?? Write love letters to your significant other, and send greeting cards to your dear friends and family. Write in your journal. Create music and poetry. Be a champion for the needy, the lonely, the abandoned, the animals, and the faeries....
Enjoy the New Moon, the Dark Moon, the Mother Moon. And if you're not inclined to spirituality, just give it a try. It's wonderful and sacred!! You can set your intentions for this cycle right away at 10:30 p.m., edt, until June 25th at 6:45 p.m., when the moon goes void-of-course. Make them spiritual. Make them for the greater good. Make them for your journey to enlightenment. It's all good and it's all for the best. In the words of Romantic poet Robert Browning, "God's in his Heaven, all's right with the world."
We have a sparkly Full Moon in Sagittarius, on Friday, June 9th, at 9:08 a.m., edt.
Love that Sagittarius Moon. This is the time to enjoy your endeavors and pursue your aspirations to a higher level.
This is a nice Full Moon, as nice as one could get, with Jupiter in good aspect, and going direct at 10:03 a.m., edt., Yay! There is also a great aspect with the Sun, Venus, and Mercury.
With Venus aligning Saturn AGAIN and STILL, love must be solid, stable, traditional, reliable, true, and honorable. So, get the gettin'. Saturn has been waiting a loooonnng time for this. Also, with Venus in a little tension (just a little) with the Sun and Moon, you can make it or break it.
Back to Jupiter. Jupiter is blessing the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, and Saturn (or rather Saturn is
PERMITTING a friendly tap)! Adventure awaits, good times, abound. Shoot for the Moon and land on the Stars! Yes, I know I said that backwards, but that is what Jupiter does, land far beyond his aim. This is a time to celebrate life, love, and dreams. Have fun, don't miss out. Make something happen.

This brings me to my next point. Be careful what you wish for. Try not to fly beyond our own comfortable and amazing universe. You don't want to get lost out there, now do you? Neptune is in a square to the Sun and the Moon, so you must be careful of those little deceptions, those fantastical dreams of smoke and mirrors. But you know, a full moon is a full moon. It's a spiritual and metaphysical time, a secret and mysterious time. And Jupiter loves all this!! Remember, Jupiter went retrograde on February 6th, so think back and know that now you will pass that way again.
The thick conjunctions with Uranus close to the Midheaven are significant, too! I wouldn't be surprised if new love partnerships form (out of the blue) that actually affect your destiny. And because they aspect Saturn, this could be long lasting. I'm just sayin'. It's entirely possible. You know these things have all been brewing for a while. We still are riding the coat tails of the Spring eclipses, and some major planetary movement from the big guys.
I do see a healing aspect between spiritual and physical illnesses that have to do with spirit guides, angels, or those on the other side, especially with the Moon's aspect to children and animals. The healing visions of Neptune and the transformative powers of Pluto are working together to heal through mysterious forces. If you are sick or suffering, definitely use prayer and supplication to bring about a miraculous healing. It really is possible.
As well, Jupiter type businesses can thrive through social media and/or communicative media. It could be your time to shine. Keep the faith. Always be alert to something coming your way, and jump on it! Sagittarius loves to jump on it.
However. Don't Forget. It is a full moon. Be careful out there.
It will linger for awhile... and the wonderful aspects can bear fruit in your life. Don't forget the underprivileged. Don't forget the lonely, the forgotten, the little stars in your life that dimly glow but would love the spotlight. The animals and the elderly need you....
Love the light. Give thanks for your blessings. Let the moon shine on your self, your soul, your spirit.
We have a luscious Full Moon in Scorpio on Wednesday, May 10th, 5:41 p.m., edt.
Oo la la.... The Scorpio moon is all about depth, intensity, drama, stealth, secrets, and massive amounts of sensuality. It is also all about emotion, spirituality, death, and extreme metaphysicality. Don't let that detract you from the carnal sensuality because if any sign knows how to bring the spiritual into the carnal....it's definitely Scorpio. And this is a full moon, people. So you have a lot of intense emotions with hard to control impulsivity. Lest we forget, Scorpio is a water sign, and the Moon of course rules the water.
The Moon makes a magnificent aspect to Neptune and Pluto. Oh the watery magic of it all!! Neptune is the magician, Pluto can control the dials on the magic wand, and the Moon will cause it all to ebb and flow. Now is the time to connect with the spiritual realm. Weave your magic. Follow your muse. Invite your angels. Dance with the faeries. Connect with your spirit animals. Commune with your spirit guides.
Jupiter and Mars will help to propel the magic upward and onward. The quick witted Mars in Gemini with the expansive Jupiter in Lovers' Libra can lift your love life heavenward to soar with the stars. Just watch out for Pluto and Uranus. They may just strike and erupt if they disapprove of a situation. There's no telling here, really! You are dealing with the Moon and Scorpio. The tsunami of revenge and/or karma can hit you like a massive wave of crushing punishment. YIKES!! So tread lightly, y'all. However, it can be an amazing trip through realms of unknown bliss, y'know.

Venus can be controlled, but be cautious and evasive. The slightest edge can activate razor sharp results. That's not only for lovers, but for relationships with women, cash flow, daily life, and indulging. Consult your angels and feminine guides for comfort and security. This can be a positive moon if you can control your impulses. If you can....
-For physical healing, under the moonlight, try swimming, or water therapy.
-Activate your outdoor fountains or birdbaths. You can also just put out containers of water with petals of flowers and sea salt.
-If you're lucky enough, go to the ocean, lake, or a pond.
-A visit to the spa for water healing would be perfect!
-Light your candles, say your prayers, leave out your crystals and special trinkets under the moonlight.
-Give thanks for your many, many blessings.
-Pray for healing for physical ailments, diseases, and/or addictions. With Pisces and Scorpio activated, all kinds of addictions come up from the surface.
-Pray for others.
-Take care of the helpless animals, abandoned, sick, elderly, and needy.
Enjoy this exquisite Full Moon of beauty and light...
