Golden Moments.
The Full Moon falls at 5º Leo, 12:54 PM ET on January 25th. Even in the heart of Winter, we can find some warmth and joy — and this Full Moon may be just the thing we need to figure that out. It is said that a Leo Full Moon is one of the best for manifestation and setting new intentions. Like Taurus, Leo focuses on turning all they wish for into reality, and Leo sees potential. They spark the fire and fan the flames. So, what flames are you trying to get to burn brighter? What fire are you stoking?
The Sun leads this lunation, shining brilliantly on the Moon, lighting up the sky, even in the darkest moments. The positive side of the Sun being the leader is that it never retrogrades, and it is Fixed itself. So, we can charge ahead confidently with our eye on the prize, even in the face of adversity. The Sun and Moon both square Jupiter, spurring us into action. The feeling can be expansive, limitless, and abundant at this time, but perhaps we can find ourselves being overzealous, as well.
We are about two months of eclipse season beginning again, so this is a space where the arc of change is at an all-time high, and the through-line is knowing we have to see it through to the other side. Sometimes, we know we don’t always have control over external events, but what the Moon in Leo tells us is that we have control over how we react to and act in, those events. We can either take up space and gain more pride, or sit in the dark… in fear. Allow the Sun to shine through the cloud, and if you feel there’s no other way? Dive below, hoping to avoid getting caught up in the nebula. If we remain forward-moving, leading with our hearts, anything can be possible. We just have to accept that there may be a bit of a risk to get there.
Mercury and Mars are playful siblings, and they support one another. There is a huge alignment and shift within us in our general life approach. Recreation and focus come to mind. Our ideas are moved by action and passion, a spark being lit by Mars’ fire, that sets ablaze our need to act. Mercury and Mars will push us to move and assert the need to liberate and connect, especially as they trine Uranus. Mercury can be charming, ensuring that there is room for everyone and sharing with people along the way. Together, this edgy union will deliver the confidence and courage we need to walk into this year
May you light up a room in the face of fear, and shine brilliantly in the dark.
May you never dim your light so that others can shine brighter.
If there is one thing we learn from Aquarius Season, it is that there is room for all of us. Share the stage, but never stop taking up the space you deserve.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 0º to 10º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.

ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
Passion leads to adventure. It seems you have been coming back to find what brings you joy and what you love. This is very important, as you may have lost your way in the last few weeks, months, or even year. However, you are getting your groove back and that is very apparent.
This Full Moon comes to shine a light on your 5th House, and creativity is abundant now. You are called to see what sits right in front of you in this present moment. This isn’t about tomorrow or yesterday— just today. This can be hard for you, as you are a visionary. But slowing down and seeing what is here and now can actually inspire you. The 5th House rules creativity, conception, children, expression, love, and happiness. These areas will be highlighted. You are being called back to your passions and what drives you. You may be at a creative high, and you should follow that energy. However, you may also be doubting yourself a bit. Sometimes finding your way back to what you love isn’t easy. It takes courage and heart to make it there.
Jupiter is square this Full Moon from your 2nd House. So uncertainty around resources or value can come up. Perhaps there is an issue with security and trying to grow that but feeling that it may be at the expense of your happiness. However, maybe it doesn’t have to be. Your worth isn’t tied to your output or your resources at all. There is abundance in community, connections, relationships, and how you give and receive support out in the world.
Mercury and Mars connect while reaching out to Uranus, as well during this lunation. This sets you up for some unexpected success on the work front or with your long-term goals. You may find that you receive some recognition or attention at this time. Work is very busy for you currently, so this attention is welcomed. You may also be thinking a lot about how your actions impact the world around you — perhaps wondering what kind of legacy you hope to leave.
Use this Full Moon to open yourself creatively. Follow your passions and listen to your heart. Go with what sets your soul ablaze and don’t let anyone stop you. Give voice to your happiness and your joy. You can take up space, it doesn’t mean that someone else doesn’t get their share, too. Your heart is your guiding force. Where will it lead you?
Taurus & Taurus Rising
If you have been feeling a little withdrawn lately, that is ok. Go with it. It seems that there has been so much emphasis on your work, career, and life direction—that it may be time to come home and tend to yourself in some way.
This Full Moon falls in your 4th House at the bottom of your chart, and you need some TLC. You have a very “work” mentality, but rest can be equally as important. After a busy time of year, you can call it all inward. You may be connecting with family, doing a little redecorating, moving, or working with your ancestors. This Full Moon is perfect for all things domestic and getting organized on the home front. You may be focusing on what matters to you and trying to create a better work/life balance.
A key player at this lunation is Jupiter. Jupiter squares the Full Moon, creating a potential obstacle or even making us a bit overzealous. Jupiter is in your 1st House, so there may be a bit of tension between your expression, identity, and motivation and how that relates to your career or current vocation. It may be that you are ready for your next move. Alternatively, you could just feel spread too thin. Perhaps you are taking on more than you need to right now. Really understand your limits and how they help your overall growth
Luckily, Mercury and Mars are very helpful to you as they meet in fellow Earth sign, Capricorn. This supports your desires for play and inner child work. As they reach out to Uranus, there can be a spontaneous or unexpected surprise that comes up. Go with it and follow the adventure.
Use this Full Moon for a little respite and bring it all home. Focus on your foundations. Listen to your emotional side and take moments of rest to help you recharge. Connect with family or your home in a new way. Redecorate, or even reorganize and donate old things around the house that you don’t want anymore!
Gemini & Gemini Rising
You are rarely short of ideas and now is no different. You have been in a period of seeking more growth, but sometimes growth can come in unique ways — potentially through interactions and dialogue. This is especially true with the Full Moon in Leo highlighting your 3rd House.
This is a House of communication, thought, and idea. You may feel the need to share more than usual and really tell people what is going on in your mind. You could be full of ideas and new inventions, thoughts, or concepts! Write them all down. You won’t want to lose track or lose sight of what is swirling around in that mind of yours. Now, a downside here could be increased busyness, as the 3rd House creates a flurry of little tasks that feel like they need to be tackled immediately. This can be difficult as it seems that you don’t want to miss something. There is a lot to keep track of, and with your mind racing it can be easy to have an oversight. Perspective will be really important for you. Try talking things out with someone—or have a friend or close friend hold you accountable to some of these tasks. Set alarms or ask for help where it is warranted. Communication is key now.
Jupiter squares this lunation from your 12th House. Endings are not always as clear-cut as we think they should be. You are in the process of bringing something to a close or trying to tie up a loose end. Jupiter is going to show you how connected that ending is to other facets of your life. It may not be as simple as you would want it to be, but it doesn’t mean you should avoid it. As one door potentially closes, another will open — what door do you want it to be? Follow the spontaneous or serendipitous threads that arise around this lunation.
That spontaneity comes from the Mercury/Mars conjunction that reaches out so harmoniously to Uranus. There are moments where you will find immense healing in choosing to let things go. Words may escape you, but your transformations will need no announcement. It is clear you are evolving and becoming someone different — more aligned with yourself and deepest desires.
Use this Full Moon to leverage your voice. Get in touch with those around you and share what is on your mind. Write things down and find ways to deal with the busy life you are surrounded by. Try to quiet those voices in your head that hold you back and seek help for any external stress you may be taking on or holding. Perspective is everything. You need to see things a little differently in order to get ahead.
Cancer & cancer Rising
Sometimes grounding is the best thing for you, especially in the face of all of the healing, changing, shifting, and opening you have been doing in the last few weeks. Aquarius Season has you focused on the shadow and descending deep to uncover what lies below. However, this Full Moon comes in with a chance to create a new foundation or a point of stability for you.
It will shine on your 2nd House, so money could be on your mind, but also your own valuation, resources and sense of security. You may have to release an expectation around where you find security during this Full Moon, but know that leaves you with more opportunity to seek alternative routes and sources. You could be focused on increasing what you have or making peace with what you don’t. Whatever it is, the key there is “making peace”. Sometimes, having more doesn’t always equate to what you need. Maybe asking for support is the thing that will pull you through now. You could have a lead that takes you to a new job, new client, or new opportunity. Focus on your expenses and maybe see what you can change about your spending habits. Now note this could also be your emotional resources…so perhaps you need to be better at how you spend your energy.
Jupiter squares this Full Moon from your 11th House. Perhaps there is a need to separate a bit from the influence of others or group-think. Not to say you can’t share or listen, but you may need to feel more rooted in your own values or ideas before taking them on from anyone else. Some people in your life may also be using more of your energy than intended. Alternatively, you could feel the push and pull between being seen and connected versus remaining incubated and quiet. Know that expansive moments come when we take a bit of a risk and try something new.
Mercury and Mars join hands in your 7th House. There is a positively direct way of communicating that you are embracing right now. People see it and respect it. Actually, in your close partnerships and relationships, this communication provides more clarity and intimacy than you could have imagined. You are surprising the people around you with your ideas and thoughts, especially as Uranus trines Mercury and Mars. Ultimately, these planets are gifting you clear direction and strength in your important relationships.
Use this Full Moon to get a handle on your resources, material and otherwise. Figure out how to spend your energy — and on what. See what potential opportunities arise around money and try to network with people to see if newer clients or work can come up. Comb through the things you own and purge what isn’t good for you anymore. Get your finances in order. But above all else, focus on how to call back your power, your self-worth and your potential. You have to let go of what stands in the way of you seeing your true value. You are worthy.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
We are bringing something to the culmination for you, Leo. Think back to August 2023 at the New Moon in your sign. What did you promise to yourself? What were your goals and motivations? Now you are being confronted with the same energy, but this time instead of sewing seeds, you are asked to release.
This Full Moon illuminates your 1st House of self and identity, a place you know all too well. You may have to reckon with yourself, your motives, and your desires. This isn’t always easy to do. You are carving out a new space for you to be more…you. This is important, as you have been working hard the last year to figure out what you actually want. You can clarify who you are now more than ever.
Jupiter is sitting at the top of your chart and squares this lunation. This is making you quite visible, whether you are ready for it or not. There is something to be said about stepping out into that spotlight a bit. You can’t avoid the attention, so embrace it. There may be something going on around the work front or concerning your goals. You may feel at odds with what is transpiring but Jupiter reminds us to have faith. It could be an incredible opportunity for you. Unexpected joys may arise for you as you expand beyond your limitations.
Mercury and Mars meet very closely in your 6th House, prompting you to consider your rituals and routines. You are feeling motivated to make some changes here and shift your day-to-day operations. These two are making your work life and personal life very busy, so remember to slow down and take care of yourself. Any projects that come your way will result in some unexpected praise and recognition. If you are self-employed and looking for new clients, make this your opportunity to just get out there and connect. You really are the star of the show right now.
Use this Full Moon to focus on what you want out of life. See what brings your joy, passion, and happiness. Seek out desires and don’t be afraid to make your needs known. Work on creating more balance in your life and enacting your boundaries. It is important. Instead of carrying the burdens, seek help. You have to release what no longer serves you now — whether that be a person, idea or something else. You are in the spotlight.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
You are itching for peace and a slower pace now. You have been working so hard the last few weeks — and the recently-over Mercury retrograde has thrown a lot of wrenches into the mix. You might have felt like you were not able to catch a break in some ways. A demanding schedule for you, or anyone, can be taxing. However, this Full Moon invites you to find more serenity in your life.
Sometimes, peace is created, not found. Your 12th House is being highlighted, a place of quiet and rest. You may feel a little run down or like you need some time away. Listen to your body. Because Full Moons signal release, you may be asked to close a door or let something go, as well. This isn’t always easy for you, but you know it will be better if you do.
Jupiter is sitting in your 9th House squaring this lunation. In the process of rewriting your routines, you may want to take opportunities to try new things or break out of the monotony of life. However, you could feel that it just isn’t time yet. There may be a fear or limitation associated with the lack of growth you feel in the moment. Don’t be stress so much, and try to focus on your joy. Spontaneous energy is likely — so one way to break out of the boredom you feel is to start with small daily adventures.
Mercury and Mars will ensure your joy is prioritized as well. They meet in your 5th House and remind you that filling your own cup can be just as necessary as anything else. Reconnecting with activities or people you love will be inspiring and essential. Uranus trines these two planets, making sure that there’s some whimsy and excitement to be had, as well. Perhaps some travel or an adventure is one its way!
Use this Full Moon to really bring yourself in. Take time to reflect, rest, and create your peace. Don’t let anyone or anything take that away from you. Focus on what you can receive and what you can release. This lunation is potent for you — finally closing a door, even if it isn’t easy. Some decisions aren’t to be made lightly, but you know in your heart what the outcomes will be. Take care of yourself.
Libra & Libra Rising
At this Full Moon, the big questions are: where do you find hope? Who is there to support you? You are someone who may often try to do things all on your own. But at what cost? As we enter this Full Moon, your hopes, dreams, wishes, network, and support system all come into focus — as this Full Moon falls in your 11th House. Who do you call upon in your time of need? We can’t be the stabilizing factor for others all the time. Sometimes, we need people to rally around us too.
Luckily, this Full Moon ensures that you have that. Friends are showing up for you, and a dream seems to be within reach. Yet, there is an air of uncertainty. You may even be readjusting who is in your community. You are in a period of growth, but it hasn’t been easy. This Full Moon comes to light up your 11th House and reminds you of the people you have in your corner.
Jupiter squares this lunation from your 8th House. Creativity or dreams may be met with fear. Perhaps you feel indebted or tied to something/someone that doesn’t allow you to express yourself as wildly as you’d like. Alternatively, you may feel you need to re-evaluate who deserves your attention and who doesn’t. Take care not to get immobilized. Jupiter inspires risk. You have to trust yourself enough to know that even if you can’t see it, everything will work out. This aspect also supports playfulness and just celebrating how you show up in the world. Be proud of yourself! Unexpected joys will show up if you allow them to.
Mercury and Mars meet in your home and family life. There could be some exciting new frontiers that you are about to embark on here. Frank conversations and honest dialogues will be important. You may even hear some unexpected news concerning family, as well. Even if it feels initially a bit jarring, it will be for the best. You may find yourself feeling more liberated than ever before. Maybe all you needed was permission to not feel so weighed down. If that is the case, let this be that permission. If you have been hoping to make some home-related changes, these planets will all help, too. Lastly, as an aside, if you are dealing with real estate transactions, know that it will go more in your favor than you expect.
Use this Full Moon to call upon your friends and community. Seek help and ask for it when you need it. People will show up for you. Don’t falter in the face of fear or allow anyone to undermine you. Take control of your future and go in the direction of your dreams. Focus on what really matters to you. You create the outcome.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
What is the pinnacle for you? The Leo Full Moon usually turns your focus toward your outward life, publicity, and career. This also encompasses your direction and achievements. The last 6 months have had you working hard and making decisions that impacted your future — and now it seems that you are either beginning or about to begin a new phase.
This Full Moon falls in your 10th House that rules all of these things: career, direction and publicity. You may not realize it, but you are in a position of power right now. The ball is seemingly in your court. You are more visible than ever now — people are witnessing you. You could be going for a promotion, looking to switch careers, move, or even change what you do for work. Whatever it is, how you build foundation and security in the world is in focus.
With Jupiter square this lunation, relationships can feel especially growth-oriented. There is an opportunity to expand how you connect with others in your life and the important collaborations or partnerships you have created. Jupiter will be sitting in this area of your chart until late May 2024. Watch how relationships change in the next few months. If you have been feeling any sort of lack or inequality, that will be highlighted. If you want more adventure, co-create it! You can truly deepen the bonds you have. Learning to open up more intimately and honestly will bring the security you seek. Surprises are likely when you don’t shy away from this.
Mercury and Mars connect in your 3rd House, which will bring a flurry of activity to you and around you. You will find that people want to connect with you and speak with you. Although this may feel overwhelming at first, it can be healing for you to answer these calls. You may find that you are full of ideas and ready to share. Sharing will be key, as Mercury and Mars trine Uranus. A lot of inspiration and new connections/relationships are about to come your way!
Use this Full Moon to build a bridge for yourself. Focus on your next steps and your direction in life. Allow yourself to shine at work regardless of what others may say. If a job isn’t a good fit, then start looking around for something else. Work with your roots and nourish your foundations. Get intimate with your partner and dismantle the tensions that may arise. Create boundaries with anyone who tries to overstep. This is a pivotal Full Moon for you. Give yourself space to go after what you want.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
You have been tested the last few months. It seems in some ways you may have been feeling stagnant, but now is a time for growth and opportunity. Aquarius Season has taught you the value of your voice, and this Full Moon will teach you the value of growth. But growth isn’t always simple.
Your 9th House will be shining bright, and this turns your focus to finding new pathways and reaching goals. You may be seeking new adventures and itching to see what lies just beyond the horizon for you. In some ways, you know that change is coming. You can use this Full Moon to also bring your attention to the skills you have gained and the new ones you will, or plan to learn. This is about applying your wisdom. The Sun rules this Full Moon and is sitting in your 3rd House. You could have more inspired discussions than normal or even just a busier life. It seems in some ways, it is hard to see the forest through the trees.
Jupiter squares this lunation from your 6th House, so definitely understand that where you are now is not the end all be all. Jupiter may pile on busyness in your daily life, and so you could be having problems seeing the bigger picture. Try to free up your time and add focus to creating flexibility in your routines. Luckily, Jupiter’s influence can be quite healing and responsive — especially if you are feeling under the weather or recovering from anything health-related. Since Jupiter is your ruler, you feel its transits more deeply than most. If you have been hoping to shift your relationship with your body, your health, your routines, or your rituals, you definitely can!
Mercury and Mars connect from your 2nd House, which can have you feeling a little extra motivated to pay attention to your resources. You could want to expand the resources available to you or even find ways to work with what you have better. Uranus will trine these two planets, bringing an unexpected client or project your way. This could turn out to be quite lucrative or affirming for you! If you are employed by someone else, the project could be something you find interesting. In general, your work life will receive some gusto, now.
Use this Full Moon to start seeing possibilities that may lie elsewhere. Remove the limitations by removing yourself from those situations. Start finding alternative pathways and know they still lead to the goals you want to achieve. The stagnation you feel will be lifting. It is time to clear the blocks that stand in front of you.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
Oh Capricorn, after a busy Aquarius Season, it seems that you are ready to take it easy and seek out a small break. You have been so focused on everything you have been building and the accumulation of all of your efforts, now it is time to share what you’ve been given and relish in your hard work.
This Full Moon highlights your 8th House, and you are being reminded that some things are best when they are shared with someone more intimately. You are being shown the truth that lies beneath the surface and asked to expose the vulnerability that lies below. Sometimes, in order to get closer to what we want or who we care about, we have to be willing to pull back some layers. If you have been going through a busy time, this Full Moon will call you to heal and slow down a bit. A little shadow work can go a long way now.
Jupiter squares this Full Moon from your 5th House. Creatively and magnetically, you are on fire. Even if you are ready for a new chapter or to take a risk, it may come with some fear of not seeming ready. Jupiter is helping you express yourself well and asking for you to lean into joy, pleasure, and doing what makes you happy. The 5th House also rules children and conception, making this an ideal lunation for conceiving anything — a project, an idea, a baby, or even a romance. Additionally, this transit may have you just wanting to have some fun in general. Pluto is now out of your sign, so you may as well live it up!
Mercury and Mars meet in your 1st House, ensuring that you go for what you want. Don’t be afraid to share how you feel or what you are thinking. People are listening and willing to hear you out! Conversations can be lively and very inspiring, especially as Uranus trines Mercury and Mars. This would be wonderful time to set an intention, work toward a goal, or even make some changes to your appearance. Expect the unexpected as well, as spontaneity is Uranus’ best friend!
Use this Full Moon to work on yourself and your inner world. Focus on your healing and the ways in which you can get intimate with those you love and trust. Open yourself up to new areas for resources and be willing to share and receive what is available.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Life is about a give and take, and no one knows that better than you. However, oftentimes you are one that may give more than they receive. This can create an imbalance, whether or not you realize it. So, take a minute and really reflect on the word “receptivity”. What does this mean to you?
The Full Moon on the 5th brings awareness and light to your 7th House. Here, a partnership, relationship, union, or important person is coming into strong focus. Now consider for some of you this is more business-related than personal. You may be reckoning your boundaries and your space with this other person or entity. Have you been giving too much? Are things off-kilter? What needs to be addressed? This Full Moon puts so much emphasis on others that you may need to step outside of yourself to see what is really happening. Perspective is going to be important.
Interestingly, Jupiter squares this Full Moon from your 4th House. There could be a family-related issue that needs your immediate attention or maybe you are looking to make some changes at home. You may have to deal with some tension or challenges that require you to assess what you want out of your home, family, or safety net. Jupiter will bring beneficial outcomes, so even if it feels uncomfortable at first, things will turn out ok in the end. Alternatively, this energy could ask that you need to break out of your comfort zone more. It seems you are more willing to take some risks and are asked to trust yourself as you act a bit more spontaneously.
Mercury and Mars connect in your 12th House, this may have you trying to finish up some stuff behind the scenes or feeling a bit introspective, even though it is YOUR season. This will benefit you, though. Trust me. You could be preparing for your New Year (birthday) and finding ways to close out the last year in your own mind. Pluto is now in your sign, too. So deep transformations are abound, especially in the coming two decades. But for now, Mercury, Mars, and Uranus are all joyfully supporting you in your metamorphosis. Just wait until the world sees you!
Use this Full Moon to evaluate your relationships and focus on how much energy is putting into yourself or others. If it is imbalanced, it is time to restore it all to equilibrium. Uranus and Jupiter are pulling you into your 4th House, a call to nourish yourself from the inside out. Let the river run through your soul and cleanse every piece of you. It is time.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
When life feels a little chaotic, it is time to call yourself back a bit. A little order can do your soul some good, probably more than you realize. It seems that you are trying to get a handle on the “busyness.” Do you need to be as busy as you are? Do you need to reevaluate your routines?
This Full Moon shines a light on your 6th House, where we focus on our health, regimens, and daily life. Maybe you have been quietly waiting for something to give, but now it is time to take control. It seems that taking on too much can have a negative impact on you—if you don’t figure out how to manage everything on your plate (or even ask for a little help). You may not have been as good to your body as you would like to be, and now you are being faced with the repercussions. You need to recenter a bit. Your health and your well-being are important!
Jupiter squares this lunation from your 3rd House, so there may be general busyness or a lot of information coming at you right now. If you are feeling overwhelmed or anxious at all, know that it is only temporary. The limits in your mind have no home here. Jupiter will help you reach beyond said limits for the next few months, giving you a chance to see a new perspective and inspiring new ideas. You could find yourself racing with the need to share and express, perhaps even being someone that everyone is reaching out to right now. Talk to the people you love. Remember to juggle your commitments and know when you have overcommitted, too. If you are signing a contract of any sort, this will transit will be beneficial to you — as will the one I will talk about below.
As promised above, I mentioned the benefit of signing something around this lunation. This is because Mercury and Mars connect with Uranus positively in your 11th and 3rd Houses. It seems like people are supportive to you, as are agreements you are/create. You could unexpectedly receive an offer or have an incredibly healing/power conversation that leaves you feeling more alive. Whatever it is, make time for those you love right now or even accept an invite to something new. The more you are willing to try and break out of your shell, the more you will receive.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your schedule, routines, and daily life. Try to rearrange things to make it work for you. Don’t be afraid to state your needs and listen to your body more. Get back on track by caring for yourself, and try not to overextend into doing too much. Know your limits.
Capricorn New Moon Miniscopes
Capricorn New
Moon Miniscopes
Building New Structures.
The New Moon falls at 20º Capricorn, 6:57 AM ET on January 11th. As we enter this new Gregorian year, we are given a fresh lunar cycle—one where we are called to reform and restructure. The New Moon in Capricorn grounds us as we embark on a journey towards growth. It supports: creating foundations and structures where there once were none. Standing like a mountain in the middle of the ocean, it is a shelter to keep us from drowning in the icy sea of Winter. This New Moon is concerned with where we lay our roots and set ourselves up, acting like a space of protection as we find our way. Here, we start to build toward something bigger than ourselves.
However, when we carve out our space on this mountain, do we lock ourselves in? When does a structure become too rigid, too restrictive? Saturn is the leader of this New Moon, where it redefines, restructures, and rebuilds all that has come into focus over the last year. We know that path isn’t always easy, but with hard work comes a reward—every time. Saturn isn’t just the ruler of obstacles, but also where we reach the pinnacle of success. We have ascended up the mountain, and made it to the top, but now we have a different perspective of life atop the peak. To rest peacefully on top of that mountain, we must be willing to let some things go. Saturn is transiting through Pisces where we are reminded of the power of flexibility.
This New Moon comes with a support system of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn all working together. In many ways, expansion and reaching beyond the limits are themes that light the way. We must understand the story of the Devil in Tarot, where excess and extreme scarcity leave us in the dark. We have to bring it back to a balance. Jupiter is the Wheel, pushing us to understand that everything works in divine timing. Sometimes, we have to accept the churning and turning of life and notice how at times our fortune changes. Jupiter allows for new opportunities as we unchain ourselves from the Devil. We are not the obstacles that stand before us, but the resilience we have in facing those obstacles. In the end, we can ground ourselves in our intentions and joys as we choose to follow a new path.
The Sun and Moon trine Uranus, where we are tasked with self-actualization and personal transformation. Our ability to transform our inner world allows us to ground our dreams into reality. Sometimes, the unexpected moments in life can be pleasurable and exciting. We must be willing to value the leaps of faith we take and accept that part of life is letting loose.
Forgiveness and compassion lead the way toward greater self-acceptance. It is from here we can truly enjoy the fruits of our labor and sit in our success. The New Moon sets the tone for the coming year, so how will you work with this energy? This is a pathway built with long-term potential. Nothing is impossible when we have faith.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 15º to 25º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER

What is the pinnacle for you? Capricorn Season usually turns your focus toward your outward life, publicity, and career. This also encompasses your direction and achievements.

Cancer & cancer Rising
The tone shifts from the Full Moon to the New Moon, where you focus on the “we.” Over the last many years, you have been dealing with Pluto going through your 7th House, restructuring your relations with others. This impacts how you engage in the world around you — and most importantly your one-on-one dynamics. So this New Moon brings an opportunity to make changes on the partnership or relationship front.
Your 7th House is being emphasized right now, which places attention on the “others” in our lives. You could be thinking about boundaries, connection, and how you fit into said relationship(s). Now, keep in mind, this isn’t always a romantic relationship. This is about a union of any kind — business partner, close friendship, etc. You may be more willing with the give and take — just know to keep a balance. If you are single, this is can be a time to meet someone. If you are in a relationship and happy, you may want to continue to cultivate greater reciprocity or commitment. Now, here’s the thing about 7th House transits, if you are UNHAPPY, then know that a new beginning may be sparked by an ending (but of course, it will be for the best in the end). Only you know the intricacies of this relationship or how it may play out for you. Ultimately, the 7th House is about restoring balance in your life on every level. Saturn, the ruler of this New Moon, will turn your attention to growth, adventure, and aspiration. This is all about seeing your goals as something tangible, not far-fetched. Saturn will help ground you in the process of attaining whatever your heart desires. You may have to be willing to be flexible and pivot in your journey toward becoming. Saturn will enlighten you and remind you that you hold the power in your decision-making. From some, this may even look like the lessons on learning how to take a risk or go down the road less travelled.
Uranus is adding a layer of excitement at this New Moon. You may have a friend unexpectedly show up for you and provide you with some insight or news! This will be welcomed or joyous! Alternatively, you may be socially very busy. It seems that you are feeling the itch to get out there more. Listen to what is being said. Great discoveries are made through connections and networking right now.
Use this New Moon to start something new with other people in your life. Enact boundaries and keep them. Stand up for yourself. Form new relationships and alliances. Strengthen the partnerships that truly matter. Try to make connections that feel inspiring and exciting. Recommit to someone or something and restore a balance in your life.

This is a sense that you are learning to grow and find maturation in how you relate to/with those around you. Saturn may bring in a mentor or an older person who can support you or guide you. Alternatively, you may be that person to someone else as well. With Saturn in the 7th, this would be a good time to consider who or what you are committing to. This will promote long-term relationships and bonds.

The New Moon in Capricorn turns your face toward your inner world, your emotional foundations, and your home/family. Especially as it sits in your 4th House, the area of roots and ancestry. You may be looking to move, buy, sell, or rent. You could be redecorating or just making your house more of a home. Alternatively, you may be more active with family matters or looking to have a quiet entrance into the Winter after a busy few weeks.

The opportunities to rewrite traditions and redefine your relationship with lineage come up here as well. Saturn’s rulership of this New Moon will shift your focus over the next few years to your work, health, and routines. You will learn to build stronger foundations in your day to day. If you are employed by someone, this will likely put you in a more senior position and/or add more to your plate. Saturn may bring responsibility. Alternatively, if you work for yourself, this will be more focused on a chapter around your self-employment and the clients you work with. From a wellness perspective, Saturn will ask that you commit to being better to your body and overall health.
Uranus has been moving through your 8th House for the last few years which can feel quite jolting and unsteady. At this lunation, it reaches out to the Sun and Moon so beautifully. You or a partner could receive an unexpected bonus, payout, or form of compensation. Alternatively, you could make great headway in paying down debt or moving through a habit you have been hoping to break.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
You are a Fixed sign, and in the last while, Fixed energy has been going through it a bit. There have been many ups and downs, especially with eclipses in your sign, and Uranus opposite your sign. However, this New Moon in Capricorn comes in to nourish and heal.
It will fall in your 3rd House, so communication and dialogue will be extremely important. This is really not a time to mince your words or hold back. Instead, you have to be more open with saying what’s on your mind and heart — and more so, also be receptive to what others have to say. People are listening, but in all reality, you should be listening too. This is a time of gathering information and learning through your interactions with others. You may hear some interesting news at this time. Additionally, be careful of overbooking yourself. Busyness is likely. As we enter this New Moon, Saturn will be placed in a prominent position as the leader of this lunation. It will put your energy into your joy, happiness, and passions. You will need to focus on welcoming ease into your life and know that not everything needs to be so hard. Additionally, Saturn will teach you the lessons of focusing on what brings you pleasure. You will not be able to ignore your dissatisfactions — they will need to be addressed and changed. Affairs of the heart will also take precedence. Saturn can help you gain wisdom in what sets your heart aflame, learning to allow things to be a slow burn instead of hot, intense passion.

For some, this could be a jolt to reignite a passion or re-establish a bond. Uranus is unpredictable, so this could make a close relationship come to a close, but only if it has been tumultuous or hard for you. Mostly, this aspect supports a positive and exciting adventure for you and someone close to you!
Use this New Moon to really leverage your voice. Get in touch with those around you and share what is on your mind. Write things down and find ways to deal with the busy life you are surrounded by. Try to quiet those voices in your head that hold you back and seek help for any anxiety you may be taking on or hold. Perspective is everything. You need to see things a little differently in order to get ahead.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
With Venus in your sign, you could be feeling a need to slow down and enjoy what is right in front of you. This New Moon helps reinforce that message. You will be more focused on self-reliance and your personal power.
The New Moon falls in your 2nd House, where income, material possession, self-worth, value, and critical self-understanding lie. Here, we take a stand. If you are looking for new sources of income or a promotion, this could be a good lunation for you to do so, but it won’t come without work. I think it would be best to encourage you to think about what you value and why. What is important to you and how does that impact your daily life? Understanding your self-worth and your morals is helpful as you navigate all of the changes that have been occurring lately. You can’t be caught up in ambiguity anymore. Redefine the attitude toward success. Your self-worth does come into play here, as you may need to be creative and flexible in learning to see yourself in a new light.

If you want to buy a home, move, renovate, etc — Saturn will help you. There may be some work involved, but Saturn will help you make a more lasting commitment to your home and family life.
Uranus is in your 6th House, so you could find yourself very busy at this New Moon. Luckily, it works with the Sun and Moon, and it is all coming together to make you more noticeable!

If you have been wanting to change up how you treat your physical self, then let this be a chance to do so! Uranus’s support will ensure that whatever surprise comes up will likely be a good one! Keep an open mind and get ready for an adventure!
Use this New Moon to get a handle on your resources, material and otherwise. Figure out how to spend your energy — and on what. See what potential opportunities arise around money and try to network with people to see if newer clients or work can come up. Comb through the things you own and purge what isn’t good for you anymore. But above all else, focus on how to call back your power, your self-worth and your potential. You have to let go of what stands in the way of you seeing your true value.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
You have been working so hard behind the scenes and now we are reaching a breakout moment. A New Moon is always a good time to start a new cycle, but when it falls in your sign, what you begin is entirely up to you.
This New Moon falls in your 1st House turning your attention toward your individuality, motivations, identity and self. What keeps you going? Who are you and how do you show that to others? These are good questions to ask yourself because you are now in a place where you can change perceptions. This is a time for show and tell — show them who you are, and if they don’t understand, tell them. Make no mistake, you have the floor. There is a spotlight on you, and you are coming into your own. The ask here is that you do what FEELS right. You can begin again and set yourself up for future success, but this may require a little introspection first. This is the time to welcome more autonomy, seek out personal motivations and establish (loose) goals that you want to achieve this year. You are ruled by Saturn, so its influence is one that you know well. At this New Moon, Saturn will take the lead. You may find yourself getting more involved with those around you or connecting with people more. Additionally, this is the House of communication, thoughts, and ideas. You will see that you will need to be more grounded and realistic about what you envision for yourself and how you communicate with others. This means learning about dialogue and new perspectives. The 3rd House is also a transitionary space and one that focuses on the busyness of the day-to-day. Saturn will ensure that you do not take on too much or bite off more than you can chew now.
Uranus is exciting and playful at this lunation. It sits in your 5th House, bringing up unexpected moments of joy and fun for you! It reaches out to the Sun and Moon and helps you sit in your happiness and passions. Creative energy will be high, and there is a chance that you will feel quite stimulated. This will be a beautiful time to express yourself. Some of you could unexpectedly meet someone if you are casually dating. Others could conceive a child. While many could just more willing to put themselves out there in general! Let loose!
Use this New Moon to call back your power. Stand in your body and fully own who you are. Run for what you want and start a new cycle in your being. Seek wholeness in your identity and share yourself unapologetically. Give yourself space for freedom and open the doors to change. Don’t resist what unfolds, instead leap into it. Embrace the present. Reconnect with your happiness and motivations. What fuels you? What gives you life? Work on re-engaging with your needs.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
A call to quiet. You are itching for peace and a slower pace now. You have been working so hard the last few weeks. A demanding schedule for you, or anyone, can be taxing. However, this New Moon invites you to find more serenity in your life. Sometimes, peace is created, not found.
It is time to withdraw a bit. You know your time is coming, but Capricorn Season highlights a time to go within and take time to rest. This New Moon is no different. It falls in your 12th House, bringing something to a close and asking for respite. You could be working behind the scenes on a project, finishing up something personal or even just taking some time off. The 12th House asks for you to get in touch with your intuition and pay attention to your dreams. You could be re-engaging with a more spiritual and hidden aspect of yourself now. You are asked to have faith and let go of control. Surrender and restoration are the themes of this lunation. You are co-ruled by Saturn, a planet of responsibility and structure. However, you tend to be the one who takes that structure and bends it to work for you. At this New Moon, Saturn will take the lead. This will turn your attention to your self-worth, value, resources, and sense of comfort for the next couple of years. You will be tasked with grounding yourself in what you have now and really learning how to utilize or work with the resources available to you. Saturn can also bring in additional resources — but this may come with more responsibility or a new view on valuation. Saturn will help you earn, receive, and give in all new ways.
Uranus has been chaotic and causing many issues during Leo Season. At this New Moon, that energy shifts. You may receive unexpected news about your family or regarding your home/property. If you have been searching for a place to live, one may just seem to show up and be exactly what you need. If you have been wanting to do more with family, this would be an ideal time to do so. Others of you could be expanding your family. Alternatively, this may be a good time to help you make amends with the past and find peace in closing some doors that have you kept open for too long. It is ok to let go.
Use this New Moon to really bring yourself in. Take time to reflect, rest, and create your peace. Don’t let anyone or anything take that away from you. Focus on what you can receive and what you can release. This lunation is potent for you — finally closing a door, even if it isn’t easy. Some decisions aren’t to be made lightly, but you know in your heart what the outcomes will be. Take care of yourself.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
Building a community can be important, as it reminds you that you are not alone. Those around you have been there to build you up and help you when you need it most — even if you are afraid to ask. The New Moon in Capricorn comes in to show you that your friends have your back. This is a time for mutual support. The best thing you can do is allow people into your life, and to connect and converse.
The 11th House, where this lunation falls, also rules your hopes, dreams and wishes. So, the theme of this New Moon is about dreaming big and not allowing that to die. If you have a vision of what tomorrow can bring, use that to motivate you toward your future. Nurture feelings of optimism and blend that with your innate realism. This would also be a great time to reach out to friends and your outer network. You are likely to be invited out more and have people really looking to connect with you. The 11th House wants to see you enjoy those in your circle and be willing to meet new people. Saturn is the ruler of this lunation, and its transit through your sign is having you reframe and redefine who you are and how you show up. You will work through passions, desires, identity, and motivations. In many ways, you will emerge an entirely different person by the end of the Saturn in Pisces transit. Consider Saturn coming in as a grounding force, asking that you create stability and unshakeable foundations in your life. You are making commitments to a whole new version of yourself — your own evolution. It may be hard work at times, but in the end it will be very rewarding. There is no better time to show up for yourself than now.
Uranus is sitting in your 3rd House, so it seems that your mind is abuzz with information, ideas, thoughts, and words. You could be ready to share, speak, talk, and have conversations. Actually, you could be presented with a surprise opportunity, contract, or project! You seem to not have expected it. News will be quick and sudden, and really jolt you into a place of inspiration! Take a quick trip somewhere and share what you have in your mind. The little things matter and will lead you into newer territory! Don’t minimize your voice right now — people are listening even in the most unexpected of ways! You are really being noticed!
Use this New Moon to open yourself to possibility. It is time to ask for help and see that the future is co-created. It requires that you have the will to seek support. Everything is in flux, but the outcome will present itself soon. Things may come and go in life, but focus on the people that remain constant. Your life is fuller and richer with those that you collaborate and connect with.
Cancer Full Moon Miniscopes
Cancer Full
Moon Miniscopes
Softness and Stillness.
The Full Moon falls at 4º Cancer, 7:33 PM ET on December 26th. The Moon comes home, back to where it feels comforted and nourished by the soft energy of Cancer. The Moon in Cancer is always a powerful time, and this Full Moon is no different. This is a complete gestation of nurturing our inner potential. By opening the floodgates of the Cancerian waters, we renew ourselves and everything else around us.
We watch the Moon itself closely, as it is the leader of this lunation. Just as the Moon shines brilliantly, we too, are willing to stand in our own light. The Moon opposes the Sun, where they each stand their ground: two forces of nature. This energy is one of culmination—a reorientation of both our internal and external worlds. We are focused on our nest and our comforts, perhaps seeking to make more room for ourselves to grow this year. We are taking stock of our emotional natures and ensuring that our needs are met as we venture out into the world.
The Moon in Cancer is a time to work with our vulnerabilities and our careful, intimate natures. We hold the softest parts of ourselves closely and honor the home we’ve built. Here, the Moon sextlies Jupiter, inspiring our inner sanctums. The idea of vulnerability is taken to new heights. In some ways, we may feel excited about change. We understand why we must let go of the past in order to welcome a brighter tomorrow.
Jupiter brings an expansive energy, one of adventure and growth at this lunation. It will not only touch the Moon but also the Sun! So, a sense of liberation is coming from the heart and soul. We can feel open and grand. There is a huge alignment and shift within us and how we approach life in general.
To further support this, Saturn works well with both the Sun and Moon to stabilize and ground us. Venus swoops in to nurture us, as it trines Neptune, and Mercury leans in close to Mars. There are endless possibilities and inspiration that can come from this lunation. It is a sweet love note to the end of 2023. With Jupiter in a positive influence, we know the best is yet to come. Just as life is ever-changing, we are the same: existing like the Moon, through phases and cycles that each bring us a sense of fulfillment. We are full to the brim and ready to water the gardens of 2024 with endless nourishment.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 0º to 10º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.

4th House | Protection
If you have been feeling a little withdrawn lately, that is ok. Go with it. It seems that there has been so much emphasis on your work, career, and life direction—that it may be time to come home and tend to yourself in some way. Rest is imperative. It is necessary. Have you been allowing yourself to slow down? This Full Moon will bring a period for you to refocus your energy.
Your 4th House is being lit up at this Full Moon, where you see changes in your family and home. There can be dynamics that alter. You could be confronted to deal with your past and find peace with your memories — even if they were hard. The 4th House is about emotional foundations, and it is from here that everything is built. Stabilizing this part of your life allows for the security you seek. Some of you may bring in new members of the family, change your living space or even update your decor. You are being asked to take control of this private part of your life. Home is where the heart is, and you have to ensure that your heart is safe and protected.
The Moon will reach out to Jupiter and Saturn! It seems that there may be some joyous surprises coming your way with Jupiter present — especially when it comes to your stability, sense of value, or even possibly income. If an opportunity arises to showcase your talents or knowledge, don’t shy away from this! This can be a chance for incredible growth.
Venus sits so nicely in your 8th House. There is a commission, bonus, or alternative resource that may come your way. If Venus does not influence you financially, it will bring a sense of peace to you soon. It also highlights the potential of getting very intimate and connected with someone or those around you. Venus in the 8th House can be quite magnetic. Venus receives a positive aspect from Neptune, which is quite a dreamy placement. Some of you could see a person come through for you or unexpectedly support you. This could also add some positive or easy financial news to your life. Stay open.
Use this Full Moon to bring it all back home. Spend time with your family. Redecorate or reorganize your home. Prepare yourself for a move or a change in the home/family front. Focus on your emotional well-being and tend to places where you feel more vulnerable. Create stability in the quiet and make time for personal reflection. You redefine your peace and carve out space for you to process how you feel.

It may be time to share what has been brewing in your mind. It seems that your ideas are coming in rapid-fire, and you have so much you would like to get done now. This Full Moon in Cancer comes sweeping, shining a light on your 3rd House, so prepare to share! The 3rd House is the house of communication, thoughts, ideas, language, and local community. This is a space that feels good to you.
You may be wrapping up a project, focusing on writing content/blogs/articles, or even simply seeking to learn as much as possible. Your mind is insatiable right now. There is a call to interact and learn through those interactions, so reach out to people to help get your ideas flowing. Alternatively, you may just be feeling busier than normal. The 3rd House can have us filling our schedules quickly. Take a moment to step back and prioritize what is important to you. Are you spreading yourself too thin? What needs your attention right now? Be mindful of how you use your time.
Growth can abound at this Full Moon, as the Moon reaches out to Jupiter and Saturn!

Whatever it is, you are excited and your mind is buzzing.
Use this Full Moon to practice balance and levity. Ask for advice and chat about your ideas. Reach out to people in your life to connect. Learn, adapt, and integrate.

2nd House | Self-reliance
With a Full Moon in your 2nd House, you will be all eyes on security. However, security can come in many forms. You will be asked to look at your resources, your values, and your self-worth. Do you feel that you are enough? Have you been giving yourself grace? Are you using your resources effectively? Perhaps you need to make changes to how you produce and accumulate.
You may be too hyper-focused on what brings you security now – but remain complacent. Strategy is important here. The long-term is where things will pay off for you. The Cancer energy at this Full Moon wants you to dream a little and stoke the creativity in your heart. It wants you to trust the talents you have and see that you are enough to make everything you want to come true. You could work on budgeting, changing banks or investments, or even shifting/changing your source(s) of income at this lunation. Don’t let impostor syndrome keep you down. You are a valuable part of your community.
With Jupiter and Saturn at a good angle to the Sun and Moon, there is some whimsy to this lunation! The energy will have a bit of excitement and spontaneity. You may receive unexpected (yet somewhat positive news) regarding finances or resources! Keep your eyes peeled and open for new possibilities that will arise in the weeks following this lunation.
Venus is currently transiting your 6th House, and it seems that you are making major strides on the work front and health front. It seems that you are getting recognition, but also seeking to find balance in your routines. A work project is going very well, and it may surprise you to see how positive the outcome is — especially as Venus reaches out to Neptune around this Full Moon. Take pride in what is going on work-wise. With Neptune in your 10th trine Venus, it seems that you will receive the visibility you are hoping for.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your self-worth and your resources. Change how you see value in what you do. Ask for what you deserve and provide yourself a seat at the table. Own up to your talents and be proud of how far you have come. You are secure. Stop holding yourself back for fear of leaving comfort behind.

Leo & Leo Rising
12th House | Contemplation
After a busy and full last few weeks, you are seeking respite and a chance to slow down. As we enter the realm of this Cancer Full Moon, you will be called into a place of rest and restoration. Your 12th House is now being illuminated by this lunation, where we can find the subconscious energy we hold coming to the surface.
You are shining a light on all that has felt hidden or unseen. Old buried emotions may come back if they have not been properly dealt with. Some of you may also be looking to engage in an ending of sorts. You could be bringing something to a close: a project, a relationship, a contract, or even a phase of your life. Whatever it is, you are asked to have faith and trust in yourself. The biggest challenge of the 12th House is knowing when to let go and learning to trust your intuition.
With Jupiter and Saturn in a positive angle to this Full Moon, there may be some positive work opportunities that arise now. You may find that the change isn’t so bad, and it may be met with a financial component that sets you up for further success. Things are shifting for you and moving in ways you can’t yet see. Even if it does not seem that there is a turning point happening in your life, know that new doorways are beginning to open for you!
Venus is focused on the 4th House — family, home, sanctuary, and your emotional foundations. Right now, this area of your life is getting a lot of attention. The challenges you have felt here are starting to ease and lift. It seems like things are coming together. You may be trying to grow your family, redecorating a bit, or even just finding peace in the quiet moments of your life. Some of you may be trying to move or even just connect with those you love more deeply. Venus reaches out to Neptune bringing in softness and ease. You may be compensated for a project or compensated with a bonus based on past work. Alternatively, Venus and Neptune may have you find ways to share responsibilities and not take on too much at once. Ask for help if you need it now — especially with family matters.
Use this Full Moon to take time away and reflect. Rest and restore. Listen to your intuition and slow down. Practice mindfulness and pay attention to your dreams. Create for the sake of creating. Play just because you can. Endings are near, but so too, are new beginnings.

This Full Moon in Cancer may be just what you need to engage with that energy. It will shine brilliantly in your 11th House of hopes, dreams, the future, network, and community.
You are being called to surround yourself with people who want to support and uplift you. Friends will be coming out of the woodwork and showing up for you. The community you have created is abundant and allows you to flourish…just remember to reach out to them when you need their help. You may have a tendency to want to do things all on your own, but others have strengths where you feel weak. Knowing when to let other people in can be powerful for you. This Full Moon wants you to know that you are not alone. Another way to engage in this beautiful Leo energy is to give yourself space to create, maybe even set up a plan or idea of what your next steps may look like. The future always begins today.
Jupiter and Saturn are playfully connecting with the Sun and Moon at this lunation. This is creating some excitement for you — in a good way! It seems that you may have an opportunity to explore, travel, or adventure somewhere new. Leaps of faith will be front and center, are you ready to step into the next?

10th House | Purpose
You may be really focusing on your work, career, or direction right now. It seems that you have been doing a lot to secure a better path for yourself. Long-term goals come to the forefront of your mind. This Full Moon in Cancer asks you to dream about what you want your career to look like. If you want to make changes, you may find that you can shed all your inhibitions ––and walk toward something more creative or in line with your vision.
Your 10th House is being illuminated in a way that it has not been for quite some time. All your work in the last few years has not been in vain. You are starting to see how even unrelated efforts are impacting the big picture for you. The ask here is that you start to clearly define your goals. You may have to be more realistic about work or release expectations here. Maybe too much is being asked of you. You could apply for new positions, receive a promotion, leave a job, or even change careers altogether. Whatever it is, you are more aware of your position and direction.
Jupiter and Saturn are creating some excitement and growth around this lunation, as they reach out to the Sun and Moon. There may be an unexpectedly positive opportunity that may arise for you or a partner — especially regarding finances. This could be a bonus, commission, inheritance, or some other resource. Additionally, if you have been feeling a little lack of luster with intimacy, this Full Moon will completely change that! You could see that your daily work life is about to change, too, but this is for the better. Things are starting to upswing after a heavy few months.
Venus is extremely well positioned at this Full Moon, which is important. It sits in your 2nd House, sending good energy to your resources. There is a feeling that the tides are slowly changing financially for you. Perhaps you come across a new avenue to create better security for yourself. Really, resources are starting to truly come in, perhaps in a bigger way than you imagined. Venus will reach out to Neptune in your 6th — this yields a regenerative quality for yourself. There is a call here to be softer with yourself, too. Perhaps with your routines or your body. Movement focused on ease will serve you best now.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your career and work. Spend time dreaming up what your life direction could look like. Establish relationships with those in higher positions, and plan your long-term goals. Speak up when you are being overworked or under-valued. Leverage what you have learned this year to help you, but more – know your limits and when it’s time to ask for help.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
9th House | Exploration
As you stand at the threshold of your next move, you find that you are being asked to see the potential. This is important because you are not as limited as you may have originally thought you were. Sometimes it takes seeing things from a new perspective to gain clarity or know what is possible. This Full Moon comes at a great time, as it washes over you in soft Cancer and highlights your 9th House of expansion, growth, exploration, and possibility.
You may have felt like you had one option, but have not given yourself the chance to see there are others around you. What you need to know is you are in a position where you create your destiny and your outcomes. It may require you to leap with faith — trusting yourself comes to mind. Some of you may be looking to gain more insight or a new skill, either through higher education, experience, travel, or self-learning. You could be taking classes, joining a cause, or confronting outdated beliefs. Whatever it is, you are all eyes toward your growth. There is so much in you that you have yet to explore. It is time to dive right in.
A relationship could be more playful than normal — or even just bring about lots of good feelings and harmony. Some of you may make an unexpected commitment around this Full Moon. Alternatively, there may be some major shifts in relationships in your life, too. That is ok! Jupiter is in a good angle to this lunation. So any changes that arise will be positive in the long run. Don’t resist, instead lean into what comes up! You may even surprise yourself with how much support you are receiving from others. Saturn stabilizes you from your 5th House, reminding you that joy is of the utmost importance.
Venus is in your sign. Here you are finding ways to make yourself feel more like you again. If you listen to it, you can find moments of ease, pleasure, and genuine self-love being brought to light here. Venus is gifting you magnetism and touches of attraction. It seems that you have not felt like this in about a year or so. Neptune reaches out to Venus and helps you feel more willing to take a risk because of the support you have. Focus on pleasure and play around this time as much as possible.
Use this Full Moon to know that you hold the keys to your success. You can explore new realms, possibilities, and spiritual growth. You may go back to school, take a course, or even seek new ways to shift your perspective. The sky's the limit when you open yourself up more.

8th House | Evolution
It feels like you are making an important decision for yourself soon. You know that something is changing — and you feel called to step back a bit. There may have been a setback or news you received that caused you to re-evaluate. This Full Moon in Cancer comes in and says it is time to let go, refocus, and transform.
It illuminates your 8th House, a space in a chart that remains in the darkness. When we are provided with light in this area, we see parts of our lives that need to be addressed, healed, and confronted. You may be working through your emotions, going to therapy, or seeking counsel. You could be looking at alternative resources that may be available to you, and sharing more intimate information with people you trust. You know you want to break an important cycle or end something that isn’t working. This is a chance for you to get your ducks in a row and make your preparations. Some of you may even receive news about a bonus, contract, group project, or investment at this time, as well. There is an obvious focus on your resources, as well — both shared and personal.
You may be unexpectedly busy as the lunation begins. Try not to over-commit your time and energy. Jupiter is wonderfully positioned to the Moon and Sun from your 6th House. So, there could be some surprise happenstances with work, projects, or clients. Most of this will feel positive, but it may be a bit overwhelming at first. Take a step back and assess what feels like it is an immediate need. Saturn in your 4th House could be a good call to rest and focus on things going on at home, too, if you are feeling like there is too much being thrown at you. If you have had some issues with your health, Jupiter will help and push you in the right direction.
Venus is bringing a matter to a close. It reaches out to Neptune to give a little bit of inspiration around this time. Some recognition at work comes up now, as well — or even a sense of clarity coming soon. In addition, this concept of “closure” feels important. Are you seeking it and with whom? Venus’s transit through a hidden part of your chart may bring up unresolved feelings or highlight what in your heart needs to be held closer. Nothing gold can stay, but while you have it, it can shine brilliantly. Find pleasure in the quiet moments you have right now.
Use this Full Moon to do some shadow work and confront your fears. Open yourself up to the changes in life without controlling outcomes. Focus on reconnecting with parts of yourself that you thought you had lost. Reclaim your power and call back your magic. Resilience goes a long way.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
7th House | Understanding
You are being called to seek balance now. This month will have you focused on yourself, your motivations, and the things you desire. Now, you are starting to see how your actions extend beyond you and bleed into those around you. You may have your mind on your relationships, your partnerships, or the “others” in your life. People hold importance now. This sweet Full Moon in Cancer will be lighting up your 7th House of others.
You may need to focus your attention on your partner, a close friend, or a business partner. A close relationship is nourishing for you now, more than it has been lately. If you want to seek clarity around the relationships you have in your life – and you may gain it now. People are showing you who they are — believe them. You could also be asked to cultivate more equilibrium and enact better boundaries. This Full Moon puts so much emphasis on others that you may need to step outside of yourself to see what is happening. Perspective is going to be important. Some of you may start an entirely new cycle and commit to someone or something more intently in your life.
The Sun and Moon work very closely and reach out to Jupiter and Saturn! There could be some excitement that comes about in regard to creativity, fun, and joy! You could be ready to really let loose a bit more at the start of the year. If your partnership could use a bit more spice, then this may be the time to do it! If you are single, this Full Moon will be perfect for meeting someone! Whatever it is, there is a sense that you want to invite more fun into your life right now. Do it! Saturn will help you find the right words and be intentional with how you want to express yourself.
Venus is in your 11th House, so it seems that you may be invited to places or have a surprise bit of information come up with a friend. Alternatively, you could be the one who creates the surprise! A place of joy for you will be in your community and your connections. Venus touches on Neptune in your 3rd House telling you to not turn down invitations to connect. If you have some creative ideas, follow them and allow yourself to be immersed in your passions and what lights you up from the inside out. When Venus and Neptune connect, it can create a dreamy and beautiful atmosphere around us.
Use this Full Moon to connect with those who are important to you. Focus on your relationships, close friends, and partners. Work on your boundaries and find a better balance in your life. You could be making strong commitments. This is all about unity and harmony.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
6th House | Regimen
You have been reflecting a lot lately. You may have been making changes behind the scenes that other people are not yet seeing. You are tying up those loose ends. However, you may have felt more disconnected from what is right in front of you. There is a need to focus on the present now and gain more awareness in your daily life. This Full Moon in Cancer opens the doors to you, turning your attention to your work, health, routines, and mundane life as it shines a light on your 6th House.
This is your chance to change how you approach your day — maybe building more efficient routines or rituals that can help you deal with your schedule better. Some of you may be questioning your placement with work or your working environment. Maybe you are not totally sure which direction to go or how to start. Try not to put pressure on yourself. Since this is a Full Moon, there is a call to release — in this case, it would be expectations around what you consider to be “work”. If it isn’t fulfilling you, then why force yourself to do it? Alternatively, you could have your eyes on your health and be looking to create better habits for yourself. Whatever it is, it seems that you are trying to get organized.
Jupiter plays a key role in this lunation. It sits in your 4th House and has been here since mid-2023. It will be positively connected to this lunation, creating some potential joyful moments. There may be new home-related or family-related matters that can arise. Perhaps a shift in your living space or even a simple redecoration. Whatever it is there is a need to go along with whatever arises. You are being directed toward something new. Adventures start at home. Saturn also works well with this lunation, calling you to find more stability and groundedness in your resources. Some of you may see some pay changes based on your efforts and natural talents. Perhaps you are being more valued now than ever before. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.
Venus perches from your 10th House, so there is still “work to do.” However, it feels more light or less cumbersome right now. There may even be a general sense of being valued — or creating better boundaries. Venus is joyfully traveling through the most public area of your chart. You are being witnessed and your work is given good praise. Neptune works well with Venus, adding an element of inspiration and dreaminess right around this lunation. Focus on your softness and finding intentional slowness.
Use this Full Moon to redefine what you want out of life. Decide what your routines look like. Make room for healthy and more clearly defined working situations. Try to have fewer expectations from others and focus on where you can create more personal security. You are being called to see what is right in front of you.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
5th House | Creativity
When was the last time you decided to listen to your heart? There is a call to bring more joy, expression, and creation into your life. This Full Moon in a fellow Water sign lights up all over your 5th House, clarifying what makes you happy. Full Moons signal a release, so this may require you to let go of something that burdens you or has been weighing heavily on your heart. Sit with this.
The 5th House is all about risk, love, heart-centred action, creation, conception, and the inner child. You may want to engage in more play and pleasure. It is time to let loose and try something you normally wouldn’t. Some of you may start a new relationship, try to have a baby, or even bring more warmth and passion back into an existing relationship. Alternatively, you could be expressing yourself in an entirely new way. You are getting into a groove and more willing to put yourself out there. This requires a level of confidence that you are coming into. Give yourself grace. It is ok to take up space.
The Sun and Moon are both reaching out to Jupiter and Saturn in a positive way. Jupiter brings about expansive and exciting information or news your way — especially regarding friendships or romance. There is a playful and whimsical element to this energy. You could feel inspired. You may have a lot going on with people wanting to connect, reach out, and invite you places. You may even be traveling soon! So much adventure comes your way in the next few weeks! You can also see how you have grown in the last year, as Saturn has been touring your sign. You could find the power in yourself to be more self-assured and grounded in your being. You are different now, more wise and willing to greet the world with strength. In so many ways, Jupiter and Saturn have been supporting you to see how incredible you are. With Jupiter so helpful, there is nothing you can’t do.
Venus is so sweetly positioned for you. It is in a fellow Water sign, Scorpio. This means it sits in your 9th House, helping you find value in the realms of possibility and potential. It is not always easy to know when or how to take a risk, but you seem to have a lot of support — more than you realize. Venus will trine Neptune in your sign, making you see how you have been moving toward your dreams, even when you felt you weren’t. Our paths are not linear, instead, they ebb and flow. Feelings of inspiration, elation, creativity, and divine timing can arise — and in many ways, they are more than feelings. They are affirmations. This is one of the sweetest lunations for you. Soak it up. Consider it a love letter to the year ahead.
Use this Full Moon to embrace your inner child and make room for play and joy. Seek creativity and happiness. Listen to your heart more and let loose. You have a chance to express yourself in a new way. Don’t hide pieces of who you are. People deserve to see you — all of you.
Full Moon Note
The Moon in Cancer is a time to work with our vulnerabilities and our careful, intimate natures. We hold the softest parts of ourselves closely, and honor the home we’ve built. Here, the Moon sextlies Jupiter, inspiring our inner sanctums. The idea of vulnerability is taken to new heights. In some ways, we may feel excited for change. We understand why we must let go of the past in order to welcome a brighter tomorrow.

Living in Truth.
Forward written by Anthony Perrotta, horoscopes written by Aubrey of @thegraveyardroses.
The New Moon is in Sagittarius 20º on December 12th at 4:32 PM ET. The Sun and Moon embrace, reminding us that reflection and growth go hand in hand. We embody the dichotomy of our own natures with a New Moon: the internal & external—intimate & exposed. The fact that it falls in Sagittarius should not go unnoticed, as expansion results from what is to come. When faced with adversity or limitation, Sagittarius pushes beyond all barriers to reach the highest point it can—and even then, it keeps going. We can start to see things for what they are, and there is no mistaking. We must step back and see the big picture.
Jupiter, the benevolent, is the leader of this New Moon. Wherever it touches, we see potential and growth—removing all obstacles that may stand in our way. Jupiter is in Taurus, stationing direct just a few weeks after this New Moon. We see that through trusting our intuition, we move from one space to another with more ease. Jupiter trines Mercury and opposes Venus at this lunation. Here we find that there is a need to speak our truths and living in our values — embodying them.
Neptune will square the New Moon, so we may not be ready to take those leaps of faith for our own sense of growth because we distrust our intuition. We are caught between the details and the big picture, unsure where to look and how far to go. We should seek to see the forest through the trees for this New Moon and keep that more expansive view. Neptune is now in direct motion and is slowly gaining momentum at this New Moon. This can also bring a bit of dreaminess or escapism at this time. We may be more clouded in perception, added only by Mercury stationing retrograde the day after this New Moon.
Venus and Mercury connect, aspecting through sextile and heading into this New Moon together. This has remained a theme the last few months: our head and our hearts are meant to align. There is an element of believing in our pleasure and our joy. Dialogue now is more abstract, future-forward, and aspirational. Don’t lose sight of your dreams. You may need to take time to re-evaluate what it will take to make your dreams come to life.
As all of this comes together, let it be a reminder that you are the hero of your story. You blaze the trail toward your future. You strike the match and light the way, guided by the stars in your eyes and overhead. As the narrative continues to unfold, you can feel more confident in your place in this world. Relish in the new opportunities that present themselves around you. You are your own knight in shining armour. Your soul knows no bounds.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 15º to 25º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Mutable placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.

ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
9th House
As we approach the final third of Sagittarius Season, the Sun and the Moon come together to highlight your 9th house, Aries, asking about things such as travel, education, spirituality, and the big picture of your life. Perhaps there's a new perspective you're ready to embrace now. Neptune reaches out from your 12th house of spirituality, as well, asking you to lean into your intuition and allow it to guide you. It may feel as if there's some sort of tension between what you want to believe in and what's bubbling just underneath the surface. You may have to do a little bit of excavation in order to truly see how the hidden parts of you line up with this new perspective. Luckily, Mercury is making harmonious aspects to both Venus and Jupiter - the leader of the New Moon - at this time, offering support by way of deeper relationships. Allow those you're close with to help you make sense of whatever is coming up. Embracing optimism underneath this lunation will actually take you quite far.
Jupiter leads this Moon in Taurus from your money and resources sector, with an extra boost from Mercury who is hanging out at the top of your chart in the area of your career. How does the work you're doing tie into the bigger perspective of your life? What resources are available to you now that can help you get closer to your vision?
Taurus & Taurus Rising
8th House
This New Moon May be an intense one, Taurus, as the luminaries place an emphasis on everything that normally stays hidden behind the veil of your 8th house. It is here that themes around secrets, sex, death, and all of your shared resources come forward, and the New Moon offers you a chance for renewal.
Neptune, still transiting Pisces and recently turned direct in your 11th house of community - plays a prominent role under this New Moon as well. There may be something that feels tense or confusing around relationships - especially your closer ones - and resources at this time. This might manifest as questions around money, who owns what, who owes who, etc., or it may show up as a desire for deeper connection with others in general. Trust your intuition to guide you towards the right people who are willing to go deeper with you.
Venus, your ruler, is currently hanging out in your intimate partnership sector, and will receive support from Mercury who is moving through your 9th house, asking about the big picture of your life. As relationships take center stage now, how are those you associate with influencing where you're headed?
Gemini & Gemini Rising
7th House
The keyword for this lunation is relationships, Gemini, as the Sun and Moon come together to highlight your partnership sector. This is a moment for renewal in love and all of your close, important relationships. Perhaps you're ready to take a new approach to love, or just ready to commit in greater droves in general. Either way, there is a chance to begin something new and more satisfying here.
Neptune reaches out from your 10th house of career, reputation, and legacy, which may both bring important business connections into focus, and create some sort of push and pull between your professional and intimate life. However, Mercury, your ruler, is receiving support from Venus who is moving through the arena of your 6th house. With Mercury currently in your house of shared resources, there IS support to be found from those you are close with. This could be emotional support, financial support, or just help that you feel you truly need in some way. Allow others to be there for you. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need.
Cancer & cancer Rising
6th House
Health and the routines that makeup your daily life may be heavy on your mind at this time, Cancer, as the New Moon arrives to offer you a chance to make some much needed adjustments. Perhaps lately it's become clear that you need to pivot in some way to make your day-to-day life more fulfilling or sustainable in some way. This lunation offers you the opportunity to look at things with a fresh set of eyes, ready to implement a new approach.
Neptune reaches out from your 9th house, placing a further emphasis on the need for a new perspective, and asking what needs to happen in the daily to line up with the big picture. What sort of structures can you implement so that the way you're living your life is helping you move towards the bigger picture you dream of?
Jupiter leads this Moon in Taurus from your house of community. With help from Mercury in your partnership sector, perhaps there is something to gain through the support of those you care about. You don't have to do it all. Let others be there for you as you are for them. Venus, who is currently in your 5th house of joy, also lends a helping hand here. Don't forget that you deserve to experience enjoyment in your daily life, too. Hanging out with those you love most can be a nourishing and replenishing well right now.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
5th House
Fun, creativity, and play are on the docket underneath this New Moon, Leo, as your 5th house of joy comes into focus at this time. Perhaps there's a new creative endeavor you're wanting to embark upon, or some new version of yourself that is being birthed now. It may simply be that you realize you need more joy in your life and that living in the present moment is important. Whatever the case may be, there's a ripe opportunity to give yourself permission to have more fun.
Neptune, who just stationed direct in your house of shared resources, sex, and transformation, creates some tension both with the New Moon and with the Sun, your ruler. This dynamic can bring some confusion and make clarity feel elusive. With Mercury about to station retrograde the following day, it's best to lean heavily into your intuition and embrace your inner knowing at this time. Balance can be found, but you may need to get creative when it comes to having it.
Meanwhile, Jupiter leads this lunation from your 4th house of family and foundations. Mercury does reach out to lend a helping hand from your 6th house of daily routines, so don't shy away from embracing a new perspective. How can you weave more joy and support into your daily life?
Virgo & Virgo Rising
4th House
This New Moon is bringing your foundations, family, home, and most trusted inner circle to the forefront now, Virgo, with both the luminaries hanging out at the bottom of your chart. You may feel pretty introverted under this New Moon, and truly focused on your personal space, and/or tending to your family in some way. With Neptune aspecting the Sun and Moon from your partnership sector, your most intimate relationships are front and center right now. Because this is a tense aspect, it's possible there are some differences to reconcile between the demands of those close to you, and your own needs, especially with the luminaries squaring your 1st house of yourself!
Luckily, Mercury, your ruler, receives a supportive boost from Jupiter in Taurus, the leader of this New Moon. Mercury is currently transiting your house of creativity, joy, and the present moment, while Jupiter hangs out in your 9th house of travel, faith, and the big picture. How can you benefit from some bigger doses of optimism and faith? Trust that you are supported.
As Mercury stations retrograde the following day, perhaps there are some lessons around allowing greater ease to enter into your relationships.
Libra & Libra Rising
3rd House
This lunation may have you quite busy, Libra, as the Sun and Moon join together in your 3rd house, highlighting the immediate environment around you. There may also be a focus on communication, learning, and possibly even something around siblings. Perhaps you have a lot on your plate or have gained some recent clarity around spreading up for yourself and sharing your knowledge and emotions. Now would be a great time to change up this dynamic and move towards greater authenticity and sincerity.
With Neptune hanging out in your 6th house, a question arises around the way you're living your daily life. Do you have the routines and structures in place to support all of the busyness in your life? Because Neptune is forming a tense aspect to both the Sun and the New Moon, you may feel torn between what you want to do, and what you need to do. Do what Libra does best and try to find balance.
Jupiter in Taurus, the leader of this lunation, continues its stay in your house of transformation, sex, and shared resources. With help from Mercury in your house of roots and foundation, there is support to be found from your inner circle. Keep in mind that Mercury will station retrograde here the following day, and there may be a need to reassess the supportive foundations you're building from.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
2nd House
Money matters may be a prominent theme underneath this New Moon, Scorpio, as this New Moon highlights your house of resources and values.

With your ruler Mars also present in this same area, now is the time to take some real action here.
With Neptune putting some pressure on the Sun and Moon from your creativity sector, there may be some kind of tension that exists between your desire for play and joy, and your resources. Trusting your instincts will lead to clarity as you search for a way to marry the two.

SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
1st House
This time the New Moon is occurring in your sign, Sagittarius, offering the chance to plant new seeds of growth around who you are, what you believe, and where you'd like to go from here. This is your moment to fully embrace your newest, truest identity and lean heavily into your beliefs. There may be an unusual push and pull between who you really are and who others - in particular, your family - want you to be. This is thanks to a tense square from Neptune happening from your house of family and roots. Leaning into your potent intuition, and maybe even seeking guidance from your ancestors, will bring the clarity you're looking for. How can you marry where you come from with who you are now?
Jupiter, your ruler, leads this lunation in Taurus, and is currently hanging out in your 6th house of your daily life. With some help from Mercury in your house of resources and self-esteem, perhaps there's something available to you in your daily life that help you find solid ground. Bear in mind that Mercury will station retrograde the following day, asking you to reassess the value you place on yourself.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
12th House
The New Moon and the Sun join hands in your 12th house, Capricorn, placing an emphasis on the parts of yourself that you normally keep hidden. In some ways, the energy of this lunation may feel difficult to access. There is a need for some alone time and quiet to allow understanding to surface. If you feel particularly introspective or withdrawn during this time, that's okay. Honor your need for solitude.
It's true that this may be easier said than done for you as Neptune stirs up a lot of busyness from your 3rd house. You may have a lot of errands or demands on your plate, and the need for communication in some way may feature strongly. Do your best to find as much balance as possible - recognizing that it may be more of a yes/and moment than an either/or. You may be busy, AND need some space.
Your ruler Saturn is also co-present with Neptune, seeking to bring more sustainability to your busy life. It's highly possible that reassessing what feels sustainable to you is the key to finding greater harmony.
Jupiter leads this Moon from your 5th house of joy! Don't shy away from allowing more to be present in your life. Fun is important too.

This lunation brings the themes of community front and center for you, Aquarius, highlighting all of the social circles you currently run in. Perhaps there's a new community you're looking to serve or be a part of, or a group of people you feel emboldened to serve. You may also have your sights set on the future, setting some new goals for yourself. Either way, there is an opportunity to plant some new seeds of growth.
Neptune exerts some tension on this New Moon from your house of resources and self-esteem. You may be questioning what you truly value now and trying to ensure that your goals and the people around you line up with those values. There may be something that feels a bit out of place here, or that they're at odds with one another in some way. You may have to let your objectivity take a back seat in order to allow your intuition to guide you now.
Your ruler Saturn is co-present with Neptune in Pisces, looking to bring stability and a commitment to evolution around the way you value yourself, and the resources available to you.

Pisces & Pisces Rising
10th House
Underneath this New Moon, your focus is on your career and reputation, Pisces, seeing you confronting the work you're doing and the legacy you're building. While there is an opportunity to start something new here, Neptune, who has recently stationed direct in your first house of your identity, is exerting some tension on both the Sun and the Moon. This may create a push and pull dynamic between who you truly are, and the ways you may be expected to - or required to - show up in a more public and/or professional setting. Neptune brings with it a heavy fog - that nobody knows better than you! - that can make the answer seem elusive. In this moment it's best to do what you do best, and lean into your intuition to find the answer at this time.
Jupiter, your ruler, leads this lunation from your communication sector. With support from Mercury, perhaps there's something around the way you share, or WHAT you share that can play a key role in how you show up. Keep in mind that Mercury will station retrograde in the house of community the following day, which will have you reassessing the different circles you run in. Showing up differently, aka more sincerely, may cause these circles to change.
