Growth from Discomfort.
The Full Moon falls at 5º Virgo, 7:30 AM ET on February 24th. The Full Moon in Virgo is focused on order, diligence, and efficiency. The Pisces/Virgo axis is being highlighted—this is the connection point between body and spirit. Virgo asks you to integrate the Piscean intuition in a more practical and mundane way. Because Full Moons can signal release, here we see release is in the form of anything physically or mentally in our way. Mercury is the leader of this Full Moon and is quietly walking through Pisces. Our minds are dreamy, idealistic, and bend toward the creative. There is a feeling that what we can't speak may be communicated in other ways. Intuition is strong around this Full Moon.
Saturn is in very close opposition to the Moon and in conjunction with the Sun. This energy asks that we take things more seriously right now. Obstacles can be likely, but they may serve as a means of deeper growth. Saturn wants long-term and solid foundations. However, this doesn’t mean rigidity. Saturn in Pisces reinforces the connection between body and spirit and teaches us the power in the liminal. It welcomes us to get comfortable with our intuition and to be less rigid. Structures are flexible. We will learn the lessons of fluidity and build stronger foundations in our spiritual practices and our inner sanctums.
Venus and Mars are now caught in a new aspect, where they are embracing one another tightly. The cosmic lovers help and support each other. They create a space for profound changes and focus on action that ties to our values.
This Full Moon may be very illuminating to some. This is the tangibility of the dreams that Pisces Season creates. However, Virgo can also shatter the illusion that Pisces maintains. Find a middle ground between these two points. Allow the changes from this Full Moon to fuel you into new territory. This Full Moon is the final in the astrological year.
The astrological New Year is upon us in a few weeks. Plant your seeds and watch them flourish.
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 Mutable placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
We are almost to your season, but not quite there yet. You are being called to slow down a bit. Focus. Pay attention to what is happening around you. This Full Moon will highlight your needs, health, boundaries, and routines. With it in Virgo, you will be focusing on the small mundane details of your life and getting yourself organized. How have you been treating yourself? How are you feeling?
This Full Moon could be a call to rest, as well — especially with the Pisces transits in your 12th House. You may finally be getting clarity around a work or health matter with this lunation falling in your 6th House. This Full Moon wants you to focus on your routines and how you can make small changes in your daily life to impact your overall well-being. This means taking control of the little things and ensuring that you are making appropriate shifts to get healthier or to engage in stronger boundaries. This doesn’t always imply diet or exercise. This could come in the form of giving yourself more grace and focusing on your emotional and mental health, too. Of course, work lies here too. So, this lunation could be a call to make changes to your overall work environment, responsibilities, or tasks.
With Saturn opposing this Full Moon from your 12th House, there will be a push and pull between feeling busy and needing rest. You may find that your energy levels wax and wane, and that you need space for some self-care. Overdoing it will result in feeling unwell or overwhelmed. Saturn is reminding you of the power of rest, relaxation, and balancing priorities. Take it easy if you can around this time. Saturn may also bring up a need to close doors or find peace in endings around this time. Endings can be the means of a new beginning, so try not to hold onto what needs to be let go.
Use this Full Moon to lean into better health practices. Focus on achieving work/life balance and open yourself up to different work opportunities. Make changes to your routines and get organized! Take credit where you deserve it and never undercut your value.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
It is time to talk about joy, happiness, and creativity. With the Full Moon falling in your 5th House, there can be an ease to this energy which is welcomed after some strain for you. Now is the time to lean into the pleasurable side of life, releasing anything standing in the way of your true happiness.
The fellow Earth energy is flowing and natural for you. You may decide to start a new creative endeavor, or you may reach a turning point in one. If you are looking to conceive anything (child, romance, project), this Full Moon will be perfect for that. This lunation deals with creation at its core and affairs of the heart. Where do you find pleasure? Joy? What is the source of your creativity? How do you open your heart up? How can you take more risks? Use this time to take that leap and express yourself just as you are in this present moment. Unapologetically own your creativity and find what fuels you. You have to share your passions and show love to those you care about. In doing this, you receive it back tenfold. You create your own happiness. Honestly, just do something that makes you feel good.
Saturn in your 11th House opposes the Full Moon. It asks that you balance perspectives, especially in regard to friendships or outside opinions. You may feel obligations to community or weighed down by a goal/aspiration. This can take the joy out of an experience or creation for you. The ask is to balance things. Be reminded as to WHY you create and for whom (hopefully yourself) and that can restore your faith in your work/art/creations. If people are feeling more demanding right now, take a step back and focus on what brings you happiness. Restore your sense of personal joy and that will extend beyond you to those around you.
Use this Full Moon to stand in your own light and unapologetically shine. Create, connect, conceive! You have the chance to make internal waves and question your doubts. Resilience is yours. Reignite that spark.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
This Full Moon is going to have you more withdrawn than usual. You are turning your focus away from the outside world– and becoming a little more introverted (yes, even you need time to recharge). Geminis are more sensitive than they lead on, constantly soaking up the energy of everything around them.
This Full Moon is a reminder to refill your cup. You may find that home-related matters are top of mind now. You may be looking to buy/sell a home, rent, or renovate. This lunation will be very helpful for you. If you want to redecorate, you are also in a good position to do so. The energy around this Full Moon comes to illuminate your emotional security. Your past informs your future, but your present dictates what that future will really be. You may spend time reflecting now and reconnecting with those close to you. Take it easy right now. You, alternatively, may be seeking the comforts of your family, chosen or given, and finding peace in their presence. Now is a time to know that evolution starts at our core — from the roots to the flower.
Saturn will oppose this Full Moon from your 10th House. Demands at work will pull you in different directions. There are competing priorities right now, and you are worried about dropping the ball. External pressures can have you denying your own private/personal needs. You are working hard to slowly build something to bring out into the world, but it should not come at the expense of your inner balance. Saturn may demand a lot from you, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Being a planet of wisdom, you can restore balance by knowing your limits and tuning into your intuition. Saying no to something will not cost you a chance at success or a good outcome. It just may mean that you can’t take it on right now.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your roots and foundations. Connect with family, chosen or given. Make changes to your living space and get in touch with your emotional well-being. Sit in the nostalgia but don’t get lost there. Tomorrow is a new day.
Cancer & cancer Rising
You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but never enough time taking care of yourself. This Full Moon will fall in your 3rd House, asking you to use your voice and speak up. This is about walking away from overthinking. You deserve to say what is on your mind as much as anyone else.
This Full Moon can have you reaching a culmination on a writing project or looking to connect with friends, siblings, and those you are closer with. You are learning through interactions and taking time to siphon through information and what other people are saying to you. You are being asked to be adaptable, but there is still something about owning your own truth. You may be asked to have a conversation that feels more difficult, but you are finding the words to make it much easier. You are changing your perspective. Growth comes through learning and integrating. The people that you have around you are showing you possibilities. They are teaching you how to see things in a new way.
But most importantly, they are showing you that your voice matters. Your words hold power. So say what you need to say.
Saturn in your 9th House opposes the Full Moon. You are caught between thinking and acting — perhaps even making a decision. But here is the TLDR; version, choosing one thing doesn’t mean you don’t get to change your mind or choose the other. Essentially, Saturn is teaching you the power of taking leaps of faith and taking risks. You are supposed to maintain a big-picture perspective and try something new. Experience! Choosing the safe option isn’t always the best option (within reason, so long as it doesn’t harm you or others). When we expand beyond our horizons, we see a world that has been waiting for us. Opt to think bigger, act bigger, be bigger. This is not a time to be a shrinking violet. Choose one thing and be ok with the fact that you may have to change course down the line.
Use this Full Moon to find your voice again. Speak up on what you believe in — but also listen to those around you. Conversation and communication will be important now. Write your ideas down and start finding the motivation to put these thoughts into motion!
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
Leo, now is the time to flex your skills and stand your ground. This Full Moon is perfectly placed in your 2nd House! This will have your mind on income, self-worth, and value. You can work to get yourself in a good position. But be your own advocate.
This Full Moon can bring up conversations or thoughts about resources and finances. If you work for yourself, you could see an influx of clients or money in your account. You should release self-doubt at this Full Moon. It is what will stand in the way of your earning potential. You know your talents and your strengths. Use them to your advantage and show people what you are worth. Alternatively, there may be reflections on security coming up for you, too. It may not be so much about what you are earning, but what you own– and how that relates to your perception of your value. Thus, a light is being shone on what you deserve and how you can treat yourself better. Sometimes, we forget that we do deserve to build security, outside of material security, for ourselves. In order to actually feel grounded or connected, we have to accept ourselves for who we are.
Saturn is poised in your 8th House, where it opposes the Full Moon. Here we oscillate between sharing and retaining resources (time, space, energy, money, etc). Saturn tells us that sometimes holding onto things longer than we need to can be harmful to our health and damaging to our sense of self-worth. In essence, death is only a door. By letting go or allowing ourselves space to move through the harder things, we welcome opportunities for growth. If you feel that your resources have been tied up or feeling depleted, step back and reassess. This energy is great for helping you find alternative ways of working with what you have or even expanding what is available to you. Nothing is set in stone. If you have been going through a major life transition in any way, give yourself space to grieve and heal. You will be more abundant for it later.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your value and worth. Make changes to how you view money and abundance. Find new or additional resources or income. Above all else, cultivate a better relationship with yourself and your self-worth.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Virgo, there is a Full Moon in your sign! This is important and points to the New Moon we experienced in your sign earlier around September 2023. Think back to what you started around then and how you are reaching a pinnacle now. Maybe something is culminating from that time — maybe the pieces are coming together!
This Full Moon will highlight your needs, desires, motivations, and goals. When was the last time you asked yourself what you wanted? Like, what you really wanted? The theme seems to be allowing yourself to shine and stand in your own strength. You can be recognized for who you are and what you seek to create. The 1st house is about identity, and with a Full Moon here, you may be shedding some skin. You can let go of who you were– in order to make room for who you truly are. This is being unapologetically yourself. Now you are the alchemist. You call the shots. You make the choices. You care deeply about others, and you understand the impacts of your own actions, but sometimes we don’t realize how limiting it can be to ONLY focus on others. If abundance is plural and we choose not to grow– then you may be inhibiting the growth of someone else. This is about you bringing to an end some of the outdated narratives you have written or believe about yourself. This is about changing how you see yourself enough to love yourself a little more. Self-respect.
With Saturn in your 7th house opposite the Full Moon, you are caught between pleasing others and doing something just for you. But this doesn’t mean that acting on one of these can’t satisfy the other. Saturn is teaching you what it means to commit and agree, how to better repaginate and reassess your role in your relationships. Some relationships may falter or become more weak, while others will strengthen exponentially. At this Full Moon, it will feel very in your face, as you feel torn between making a choice in regard to a partnership or close person in your life. Know that nothing is final. You don’t have to make the grave decision today! Saturn teaches us about time and patience. Focusing on the long-term aspect here, we can ask ourselves, “what do we really hope for in the end with this relationship”? That may give you the clarity you need.
Use this Full Moon to get in touch with yourself, your desires, and your motivations. Ask yourself who you want to be. Focus on how you can act on what you want and make space for your goals. It is your turn.
Libra & Libra Rising
You are being pulled into a need for rest and relaxation. You have been going nonstop for quite some time, and now you’re being asked to slow things down. The Sun may be in your 6th House, but this Full Moon falls in your 12th House. There are important endings afoot now.
If you are working on a project, you are not quite ready to leap or expose what you’ve been doing, but you see the finish line. You are changing how you approach your spirituality and your intuition – but also changing how you can let go and find resolution. We may not always have control in our lives over what’s happening, but we can control our reactions and steer things to the outcome we seek. It is the mark of a significant ending of something in your life. It may be the end of a job, a partnership, a habit, etc. But it has made room for something greater. These endings aren’t scary. They are necessary. Right now, you should take time to comb through what you let go of–– so that you don’t take that energy with you into the next phase. That means time to process your emotions.
With Saturn opposed the Full Moon from your 6th House, there is a sense that you are overwhelming yourself with taking on too much in the material world. Saturn is having you restructure your relationship with productivity and routine. Perhaps you are biting off more than you can chew or even fighting the urge to do/be more than you need to right now. With the Full Moon in your 12th, there is a sense that you may need to balance work with rest, and productivity with pleasure. Too much control will leave you feeling lifeless and depleted. Saturn wants to teach you the value of belief and flexible structures, as it moves through Pisces. You may need to give yourself more room to create and sit in the ebb and flow. Maybe the ebb and flow is the structure you need to model, as it is as consistent as anything else, too.
Use this Full Moon to bring a chapter to a close. Find space to open new doors and explore possibilities. You can get further in touch with your faith, spirituality, or intuition — possibly even using this to inform and guide you. Most importantly, use this Full Moon to give yourself a place to rest, finding peace and resolution in anything that feels that it is pending.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
I know you don’t always like to ask for help, but this Full Moon will have people showing up for you left and right! The amount of support you have is uncanny. You are making new friendships and maybe saying goodbye to old ones that aren’t as solid as they used to be.
Take a look at your connections, friendships, network, and even your dreams. Where are you siphoning off your energy, and what is taking up too much space? Are you leaving room for new opportunities, new people, or new ideas? This lunation will bring you back to your dreams, perhaps reigniting a spark. You can make powerful connections with others that push you closer to what you really want out of life. Your mind seems to be on the future and where you are headed overall. If things don’t align with your vision, you don’t have to hold onto them. You can walk away from it. Consider ways you can build a new future with others–– and not alone. Community is your backbone. Who do you look to? Where does your community lie?
Saturn is in your 5th House, teaching you lessons around personal joy and happiness. It opposes the Full Moon, and tells you to refocus your attention. Perhaps you are feeling isolated or that you are not getting what you need in solitude. With the Full Moon in your 11th, try connecting with friends that inspire you! Saturn says that creation doesn’t have to happen in isolation, but it can happen in collaboration. Personal pleasure is another theme that comes to life here. You may need to get more serious about taking care of yourself and doing what makes you happy! That means caring less about what other people think in that regard. No one can experience or express your joy quite like you, so remain open and try new things to see what will add some variety and value to your life!
Use this Full Moon to focus on community and ways that you can use your innate talents to help others. Find networks and groups that you can connect with and re-establish bonds with friends. Possibly even throw your partner into the mix or start a new relationship (romantically, business-wise, or even platonically).
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
You have been working hard the last few years or so. This Full Moon in your 10th House is asking you to reframe your thoughts around your direction in life, your career, and what you want in the end from all of it. Pisces Season has been trying to get you to rest up, but the Full Moon will still have your mind on work and your goals.
Right now, this particular lunation brings an ending – not necessarily of your work, but maybe even your attitude surrounding it. What do you want your future to look like? What are your long-term visions? Pluto is playing a key role in this Full Moon, showing you that your hard work is not without some major changes. Even though you may be losing something, know that there is something better right around the corner. You are more ready and willing to expand what your purpose, direction, and work may look like. You are being seen by the right people. You are being heard by those that need to listen to you. Make yourself visible now. This is a call to be noticed.
With Saturn in your 4th House, it opposes the Full Moon, bringing you back home. You could feel pulled between needing to show up at work but having responsibilities on the Homefront. To be honest, you don’t need to feel like you have to pick one or the other. The reality is that you can easily support both and not have to choose one thing over another. What that will require is being realistic about your priorities and what you say yes to. Not everything will require your immediate attention, even if you are told otherwise. Reclaiming your personal peace and giving your home life the love it deserves will help you immensely. Recenter yourself and give yourself space to rest, and you will find that tackling external/work projects will be much easier.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your career goals and your direction in life. Realign yourself with what you want and let go of what is not worth your energy. If you walk away from a job, a new one is just around the corner. If you choose to rise through the ranks, you are being noticed. Ask for what you deserve.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
It is time to grow, grow, grow! The Full Moon in Virgo will highlight your 9th House, asking you to expand past your current limitations. This house represents risk-taking, pushing past the horizons, and listening to your higher knowing. Whatever your goal is, now is the time to make sure you are fully aligned with it.
This Full Moon will make sure that you release anything in your path that is holding you back. Experience can give you wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Over the last few years, you have been realizing just how important that is. However, you may have accumulated information, morals, or values that no longer suit you where you are in life. It is ok to change and let go of what is outdated. You could be starting a new school or diploma-based program, excelling in higher Ed., looking to travel, starting a new language, or even just exploring spirituality. This is just the beginning of what’s to come. The 9th House doesn’t end on those topics– it rules aspects of the liminal, but more on the edges. It rules politics and ethics. You are changing those views and really taking stock of how you show up in the world. If you have been wanting to do something exciting, fresh, or new — then let this be your green light!
Saturn opposes the Full Moon from your 3rd House, where it tells you that sharing is as important as anything else. This means that you can’t always keep quiet or hold things in, as communication leads to a greater sense of growth. You are being taught the power of flexibility and being able to change your stance, mind, truth, and position. You don’t have to keep things going as they have always been. Saturn in Pisces is all about mutability. It doesn’t make you inconsistent, on the contrary, it actually makes you more aligned with your ever-growing sense of truth. Knowing when to pivot or change allows you to be more embodied. So don’t let this be a time where you trap yourself in unnecessary thought patterns. Explore, shift, change, and allow those to be the basis of your growth. Adventure happens close to home, and with the 3rd House showing up here, you may (re)discover parts of your city or neighborhood around this time.
Use this Full Moon to expand your horizons, go back to school or even take a trip (safely). You can explore new spiritualities or politics, redefining your morals and ethics — but this requires letting go of old ones. You make the call. You decide what your big picture looks like. Leap into a new phase of your life.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
It is time to rely on those you trust intimately. This Full Moon is very healing for you and can bring you close to a partner or friend. Now is a time to share your resources, your fears, your desires, and your motivations. Your 8th House is being activated, so nothing is off-limits.
Who do you trust enough to let in? How can you make room to have that intimate reciprocity in your relationships? The 8th House is one that rarely sees light, but when we have the Sun or a Full Moon in this area, it asks for us to see what’s been hidden. You can make great strides in healing matters, releasing old wounds or past pains, or even exploring your own sexuality and what brings you true pleasure. This is a very sensitive area of your chart, so you may need to navigate it delicately. In thinking about a close relationship, you have to trust that things are going your way and let go of any control you may feel. The deep connections you make with others are profound and genuinely healing. This area of your chart also rules money outside of income. Perhaps your partner is taking on a new job that boosts your spending/earning potential overall in the relationship. Or maybe, you receive some sort of loan or assistance. You could possibly even pay down a debt that has been looming over you.
Saturn is opposite the Full Moon, as it sits in your 2nd House. Here, Saturn is teaching you the value of self-worth and self-reliance — not that you can’t be supported by others or support people. There is something in holding strong in your sense of beliefs and reassessing your relationship with your resources. You may have to get more realistic with where you have been giving up too much of your resources, and where you have been feeling depleted the most. Of course, this isn’t just financial. It can be emotional, mental, physical, etc. With Saturn in the 2nd, you can create a more formidable and grounded approach to your financial situation, perhaps even finding more long-term projects or clients that create more stability. If not financial, you may decide to find ways to be more stable or grounded in your approach to giving way your energy or time — knowing that some should be kept for you to do what you want to do, as well.
Use this Full Moon to explore your sexuality and your intimacy. Release old baggage and let go of fears that stand in the way. Find alternative resources and apply for grants, mortgages, and loans! It’s time to transform your outlook. It is time to call back your power!
Pisces & Pisces Rising
The focus on “me” vs “we” has been very prevalent over the last year. Autonomy is important, but so are the relationships you cultivate. You can do a lot on your own, but sometimes you need to be reminded that you don’t have to. There are close relationships that want to help you and support you.
This lunation is in your 7th House, and it is time to take a look at the “others” in your life and figure out what role they play. This Full Moon will fall in your opposite sign turning your attention to close one-on-one relationships. What is the dynamic? How are you both contributing? This isn’t limited to romantic partners. It could be in business and friendships, as well. Luckily, this Full Moon is a very positive one, so things seem to feel lighter and flowing between you and whoever is on your mind. If you are not thinking about anyone else, you could be considering what talents you are giving away instead of using them for yourself. If you need guidance, seek the advice of someone you trust to give you what you need to hear. Now is the time to allow yourself to rely on someone for help. By cultivating strength in your partnerships, you build deeper trust and share the weight of responsibilities. Nothing should ever be one-sided
Saturn is in your sign, and it has been already changing you from the inside out in the last year. At this Full Moon, it opposes the Moon, making this a testament to your own growth/changes. You are asked to remain more grounded in your sense of being and know what your limits are in the process of you evolving. Not everyone is going to react well to the “new” you, but it isn’t always about making others more comfortable in your life. You have to live YOUR life, not the life others believe you should have. This means aligning with your motivations, passions, and desires — not anyone else’s. Actually, you may find that you have more support from people who truly care about you the more you lean into your own growth and focus on your independence. Consider this a turning point in the story of Saturn in your 1st House. From here, you can build and create anything you wish, even if it isn’t easy from the start.
Use this Full Moon to focus on the relationships in your life. This isn’t just romantic, but also in business or with family/friends. You may need to change your view on support and allow yourself to let others in. You are forging really important relationships now. Let them grow, and in turn, help you grow.

Aquarius New Moon Miniscopes
Aquarius New
Moon Miniscopes
Jolting Sparks.
The New Moon falls at 19º Aquarius, 5:59 PM ET on February 9th. This is the second New Moon of the calendar year, and it comes with its share of ups and downs. With Aquarian energy so prominent at this New Moon, we will have our eyes fixated on our hopes, dreams, and wishes — perhaps even our network, community, and friendships. We have to recognize where we are and who we surround ourselves with and see how that impacts the big picture (not only in our lives personally but also collectively). Aquarius brings truth—unmoved and undeterred—in the pursuit of understanding where we belong in the grand scheme of it all.
Saturn traditionally leads this New Moon, it sits quietly in Pisces but reaches out to Jupiter in Taurus. This dance can create a bit of heaviness at this lunation, and Saturn will ask for a commitment. Jupiter does soften the energy of Saturn, strengthening and evolving our sense of value and worth. With Jupiter being expansive in the presence of Saturn, we must find ways to free ourselves from outdated or overly traditional mindsets. Flexibility is a must, as are newfound points of inspiration. If it doesn’t benefit the group or uplift others, it will not be supported.
Uranus is a key player during this time. The Sun and Moon are encapsulated in the jolting energy of this titan. We seek to liberate ourselves from what no longer brings us joy, unchaining ourselves from societal fears. Uranus is electric and profound, creating a need to confront all that restricts us in our lives. Embrace your sense of uniqueness and use that as a platform to buck the traditions. Venus working well with Uranus can inspire us to live honestly. It says “When others tell you that you aren’t enough, you call back your power. No one has control over you”.
Mars and Neptune do support one another, adding some levity to this New Moon. Here, we see that we have an outlet for the heavy energy Saturn and Uranus can bring. Mars motives and Neptune dreams. Action meets enthusiasm, and pleasure brings positive returns. Collectively, this energy suggests that support is important, especially in a time of uncertainty and change. The next few weeks will bring about the movement that we feel we have been lacking in the last few months.
Get ready to soar.
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 Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
At this New 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 New Moon, your hopes, dreams, wishes, network, and support system all come into focus — as this New 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 New 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.
Uranus squares the lunation, throwing thunderbolts of electricity from your 2nd House. You could be facing self-confidence or self-worth issues. Maybe this creates doubt in how you expend your energy. Alternatively, you could be battling something financial around this New Moon that is making it harder to keep your cool. There could be an unexpected bill, or maybe a dream/idea comes at a cost. Uranus is a wildcard, and it is hard to see how it may play out. Expected the unexpected.
Luckily, Venus will bring a softer edge to this New Moon as it reaches out to Uranus. Its influence is one that allows for reception and attraction. Venus will ease the tensions or help you find new, alternative ways to tackle problems. You could be jolted into uncharted territory that leaves you feeling more secure in the end. A place of power and peace can come from you being open to new perspectives and possibilities.
Mars and Neptune are in a very harmonious position at this lunation. They collectively bring a sense of awareness around an ending or an area that may need closure in your life. Mars helps to give you the gusto you need to find that resolve. The endings are not bad. Instead, it feels much like something that you have been meaning to review or reflect on for a while. Take time to consider where you could use some proper closure. Remember that oftentimes, closure is internal more than anything.
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.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
What is the pinnacle for you? The Aquarius New Moon usually turns your focus toward your outward life, publicity, and career. This also encompasses your direction and achievements.
The last 12 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 New 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 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.
There may be hiccups as Uranus sits in square to the New Moon. Uranus is in your 1st House, creating waves for the last few years. You have been finding new ways to change how you approach your identity and motivations. This is about freeing yourself from past versions of yourself. Because of the tension between the New Moon and Uranus, one of the freedoms must be around external validation and worries about perception. Uranus will create surprises, so watch people’s behavior. Don’t try to control what or who you can’t. We just have to go with the flow with this New Moon.
On a positive note, Venus will make things easier, as it reaches out to Uranus. There can be a desire to focus more on standing strong in your values and worth. Be proud of the person you are becoming. Venus is your ruler, and you will feel its impact more than most. You may surprise others with generous or unique actions.
Now, Mars and Neptune are very helpful at this lunation. They work well to help you maintain a big picture perspective. Friends, connections, and those around you seem to be willing to aid you. Maybe you need to reconnect with someone or a group you have not spoken to in a while. Your value and worth will be re-iterated to you by those you keep close. Don’t be too afraid to ask for help if you need it.
Use this New Moon to start a new journey in your life direction or career. Go for a promotion, a new job, or even a career change. Put yourself up on a pedestal more and see your worth and value as it is in the light of day. Work on your long-term goals and start making moves to bring them to fruition. You have a lot of power in your hands right now. How are you going to use it?
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Faith — a word that you must work with more. You must learn the power of having faith in yourself and taking a leap toward your goals and dreams.
The Aquarius New Moon brings the energy to nurture areas of growth in your life. There is a sense that your paths to growth, evolution, change, expansion and new territory are opening up. This can happen through education, spirituality, work, or even just your personal next steps. You have been sitting with “where do I go from here” for quite some time. This is your chance to make moves. Of course, that requires that keyword: Faith.
Perhaps you have been overthinking things lately or just not focusing – thus scattering your energy into too many things. The New Moon is square to Uranus, creating tension. Uranus sits in your 12th House. You are trying to talk things out, but you aren’t being heard. The 12th House rules all that’s hidden: secrets, dreams, subconscious energy, and even endings. Emotions will run high at this New Moon, but know with Uranus in the 12th House like this, it will bring an ending. Maybe it is time to finally let go of something or someone in your life. Uranus wants you to trust your intuition more than anything.
Venus will make things easier in this lunation, however. It reaches out to Uranus. It smooths over anything that may come up. There is a sense that valuing yourself, your desires, and your needs should take precedence. Venus reminds you of the power of healing and integrating on the journey you’ve been on.
Mars and Neptune work well with each other. It seems that others may not fully see what you are working through, but there is a strong sense of motivation to make a dream come to fruition. You could find out some really good financial news in the weeks following this New Moon. Alternatively, you could see yourself rethinking how to share your time and resources. This may require some self-reflection and re-imagining of what those resources even means to you.
Use this New Moon to truly believe in yourself, opening up the floodgates of potential. Take time, and see the sky's the limit. You have to learn that some risks are worth the reward. You are itching to travel, go to new places, meet new people, or simply engage in new experiences overall. You are seeking a fresh start, and this New Moon can give it to you. What are you waiting for?
Cancer & cancer Rising
It is time to get intimate. You have to face the shadow eventually, and right now, you are asked to see what has been hidden from view or deal with what has been left unchecked.
The New Moon sits in your 8th House. This is a time of transformation, change, and evolution – but also a time of healing and sharing the deepest parts of yourself with someone else. There is a level of fear that can be associated with this, understandably. You are very close-lipped about your emotional nature. But sometimes, stability requires sharing what lies beneath the foundation. Questions around worth, shared resources, sexuality, close partnerships, and money could come up now.
Uranus is creating activity and little tension from your 11th House. It seems that a friend, relationship, or dream is being questioned. They could be depleting your resources (emotional and financial), as well as having you think about the longevity of it all. If it is a dream, maybe you are trying to figure out how to fund it. Well, with Uranus — inspiration can come! If it is a friend or relationship, Uranus is much more unpredictable. It is hard to figure out the outcome, but know you must have open and honest communication. The 11th House, where Uranus is, rules the future. So, your future is coming into focus and something needs to be addressed that impacts that. It will take some tact and maybe overcoming the fears you hold to help you see things through. At times, all we need is a little trust fall.
Venus will add ease to this lunation. It reaches out to Uranus. Venus will look for softness and serenity now as it sits in your 7th House. You could find grounded stability in close one-on-one relationships or prioritize people who are reciprocal to you. This positive reception to Uranus says that maybe you need to invite a little whimsy into your social life.
Mars and Neptune are also quite helpful at this New Moon, luckily. They bring harmonious energy. There is a possibility of you needing to take a risk, or feeling motivated to leave an unhealthy dynamic. Honestly, once you take a leap of faith, you may gain the clarity and closure you seek in situations that feel more nebulous. Maybe part of that leap of faith is tying up that loose end and having the courage to do so.
Use this New Moon to start a new cycle for yourself and embrace your shadows. Commune with your inner world and transmute grief into strength. Find new ways of investing or saving financially, but also investing in yourself. Work on getting more intimate with your needs — find the hidden power that lies within you. Form deeper bonds with those you trust.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
The tone shifts from the Full Moon to the New Moon, where we focus on the “we.” Especially as your 7th House is coming into play under the energy of this New Moon. This impacts how you engage in the world around you — and most importantly your one-on-one relationships.
So this New Moon brings an opportunity to make changes on the partnership front. This could look like anything, but the main factor here is that you have a choice. You can take things to the next level or choose to walk away. Some of you may be very happy in your relationship and seek to settle more into it. Others see that they may need to have conversations about reciprocity. Equality and level-setting seem to be coming up as well. This could be outside of romantic relationships – seeping into other personal or professional unions you have (friends, family, work).
Uranus creates electricity from your 10th House. There is something going on at work. There could be a restructure, a surprise, or a change in your career, office, work — or even in your own life direction! You may be questioning your vocation or might need to reframe your perspective to align with where you want to be. This could encompass working for yourself, changes to your personal life, or even a promotion. But whatever it is, Uranus is definitely bringing a call for attention — and possibly action. Know if something comes to an end, there will be something new that comes just as quickly. Uranus is the liberator, so you could be freeing yourself from the confines of your work and moving into a new field entirely (whether by your own accord or not). But it is unpredictable, so we have to roll with the punches with Uranus.
Venus will add ease to this lunation. It trines Uranus in a harmonious aspect. You are being valued for your process refinement or the skills you bring to the table. Your willingness to jump in, innovate, and connect is only met with the excitement when you show them new ways of thinking or problem-solving. Your routines may get a bit of a shake up, but it is something that is needed. You are craving some change.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also very helpful at this New Moon. You may actively decide to do something that betters your healing or break a specific cycle/habit that no longer serves you. Mars could bring some busyness to your daily life, but Neptune will remind you of the importance of rest. It is all about a balance now. If there’s been financial entanglements related to others, you can have some new pathways open that help to clear this up.
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. Seek counsel and re-evaluate people who have been disrespecting your energy. Strengthen the partnerships that truly matter. Some of you may even decide to take your romantic relationship to the next level. Whatever you do, know that you will likely surprise those around you.
Virgo & Virgo Rising

You can make turning points in your health and work while creating new routines and rituals that fit your needs now. If you need medical care, this New Moon will highlight that.

If you are looking for freelance work, a new job, or even just a lateral move, this New Moon can help you too.
Uranus is sitting in your 9th House squaring this New Moon, so you could be questioning your next leap in life — your next steps. Your goals and future are being reflected upon. Perhaps you are trying to find new ways to grow and this requires a shift in perspective. Morality and education will come up here. You will have to take a stance on something you believe in and not be afraid to share this viewpoint with others…even if it upsets them. You may also be facing a crisis of consciousness, trying to learn to have faith, even when you may doubt yourself.
Venus will add ease to this lunation. It reaches out to Uranus. Here it gives you a good amount of visibility and positive validation to support the leaps you want to take. It is reminding you of the importance of play, as well. There could be a need to be a bit more spontaneous now.
Mars and Neptune are also very helpful at this lunation, luckily. A partner, close friend, or relationship in your life is giving you some much-needed peace and clarity. There could be some positive influences from your inner circle or friend group. Perhaps someone in your life will come in and support you, taking the lead without a word — especially if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed or in need of a break. Lean into this and allow them to show up for you. Alternatively, ask for help — people will show up in droves.
Use this New Moon to find new routines and regimens that work for you. Create daily practices that you can keep while maintaining your love of variety. Try new workouts and adhere to a healthier diet. You may be asked to let go of a bad habit or improve something in your life. Watch how much you take on and make time for rest and self-care.

This fiery area of your chart activates pleasure-seeking and learning to embrace our sense of expression. The Moon brings about ways for you to take center stage.
Uranus is in your 8th House of intimacy, shared resources, and healing — squaring this lunation. There needs to be a bit of a death…metaphorically of course. An outdated idea or mentality has to go so that you can actually achieve a dream. This also requires that you get intimate with yourself and others. Are you sharing the deepest parts of yourself? Do people know what is really going on behind the scenes? You can’t hide forever, and Uranus will have you feeling electric as you are itching to break out of your own skin. You have to be willing to confront your shadows or your demons. Seeking counsel will be important— even if it is just from a friend. You have to get out of your own way.
Alternatively, Venus, your ruler, will create a smoothness that helps to ease the tensions. It is in a beautiful aspect to Uranus. Here it gives you a chance to find grounding in your home/family life. It reminds you of the power of your private support system. You could unexpectedly receive some family or home-related news that leads to a more secure future — even if it feels jolting at first.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also well support one another. It can ease tension even more. You are focusing on the changes you have made to your routines and daily life. Mars is motivating you to do just that. If you are feeling unclear or overwhelmed at work, know that a source of replenishment can come from taking some quiet time to yourself. This energy asks that we go with the flow a bit, as well. So relinquish control.
Use this New Moon to let loose and have a bit of fun! Work on finding your strengths and using them to your advantage. Follow your heart and your creativity — let it all flow. Get in touch with your inner child and open yourself up to new experiences. Most importantly, take time to stand out and shine radiantly! You deserve to be happy as much as anyone else does. It doesn’t make you selfish. It just makes you human. Have pride in who you are.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
This New Moon falls in a Fixed sign like yours, so the energy will feel more potent for you. With a Fixed New Moon, what we find can last for a long time.
With the New Moon in Aquarius, it impacts areas of your life that need attention. This would be your 4th House of home, family, foundation, and roots. You may find that you are having to face familial matters you have been avoiding. Alternatively, you could be doing work around the home: buying, selling, moving, and redecorating. Whatever it is, it seems that you are sitting at the center of this space.
Uranus is the planet of surprise, with an unpredictable nature. It squares the lunation from your 7th House. You may be shocked at what you discover around this New Moon — particularly around your partnerships or closest one-on-one relationships. You may be ending a partnership (business or romantic) or be presented with something you had not considered before. Whatever it is, it doesn’t seem you were privy to the reaction or information. Of course, this could be a good surprise — as you never know with Uranus. Some of you may unexpectedly get a job offer, asked to be engaged, or take a relationship to the next level! With Uranus at play, it is best to not try to control the circumstances. This is a time to take a leap and see where it takes you, even if it shakes your sense of security. Keep in mind the 7th House, where Uranus is, rules all one-on-one relationships: business, familial, platonic, romantic, contractual, etc.
Venus is in your 3rd House now, creating ease at this New Moon, as it reaches out to Uranus. Venus will have you mind the details of your life and find new value/power in using your voice. If you have been feeling like it is hard to explain how you feel, this aspect will turn that around. New ideas or forms of communication can truly shift your perspective and welcome new people into your life. Put yourself out there a bit more. You will be surprised by the result!
Now, Mars and Neptune are also well-aligned at this lunation. They highlight areas of joy, pleasure, adventure, and growth. You are invited to find creative solutions and take a risk for yourself. You are asked to reconnect with what brings you passion and find like-minded people who maybe share similar hobbies. This is about connecting the dots to your happiness and not feeling small in the process of showing up in the world.

Open yourself up to ancestral guidance, learn more about your lineage and connect with those you love — living or deceased. Know that you create the security and safety you seek.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
It’s that time again! The New Moon is here! This one falls in Aquarius, sitting in your 3rd House.
The 3rd House rules communication, connection, understanding, local community, siblings, and writing. This is the area of our chart where we tell people who we are and where we process information. This New Moon will have you with no shortage of ideas or things to say — but you may be feeling caught in analysis paralysis. Perhaps you have been overthinking things lately or just not focusing, thus scattering your energy into too many things.
Uranus is sitting in your 6th House, squaring this New Moon. Work or your daily life seems to be busier than ever, almost a little overwhelming. You have been running around with no clear direction. It is muddying what you hope for and causing you to not see the big picture…your goals. Uranus is creating changes with work, health, and routines. Some of these are outside your control. It could be feast or famine, or maybe you are just looking to free yourself from the norms you have always known. Uranus pushes you toward understanding that you can’t control the circumstances, but you can control the outcome. You need to reframe your security. If you are having health issues, take charge. Alternatively, if this is about lifestyle, then maybe you need to rethink how you go about your routines. Make health a priority so that you can live out your future goals.
Venus is creating ease at this New Moon, luckily. It touches on Uranus. Venus asks you to be innovative in your approach to your resources. Maybe you are under utilizing skills that are present or deserve to be spotlit. Consider also that you could use a new approach in how you express your value/worthiness to others.
Mars and Neptune are well aligned to this lunation. They invite you to take time to rest and slow down. Avoid burnout by taking those moments of respite where you can. You can refocus some of your energy at home and find the places where you can replenish your energy. Your private life may feel more rich now than ever before. This aspect does bode well for home-related matters, especially in regard to making a space feel more comfortable or abundant.
Use this New Moon to really lean into using your voice. Listen to what others have to say— but also share what you need or think. Start a new project or reach out to those around you. Connect with friends and siblings. Write down all of your ideas and seek adventure close to home. Be flexible, use what you know and adapt to the situations that are around you.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
This time of year can have your mind on finances. The Aquarius New Moon always brings up questions around money, value, and worth.
This is because the Moon goes through your 2nd House of income, self-worth, and material possessions. Actually, it seems that you could have the potential to make changes to how you earn money. You could be looking to bring in more or simply change your relationship with money. You may also have higher expenditures than normal. So, pay attention to your financial picture. Alternatively, you could be making changes to your self-confidence and what you stand for or believe in. The last few years have seen you grow, evolving into a new person. Thus, you are making shifts in what you choose to find value in. What would you consider to be a tradition for you? What gives you a sense of worth? Don’t allow this to be tied to other people.
Uranus is making things a little unpredictable. There is a feeling of uncertainty around this New Moon. Uranus sits in your 5th House of expression, creativity, love, and self-confidence. You could feel that your confidence is shaky or that you are not expressing how you feel correctly. Uranus is itching to help you break free from limitations and choose to take that plunge, that leap. You have to put yourself out there, even if it seems hard so that people can see the real you…all of you. You can’t hide anymore. The ways in which you have made yourself small are coming to a head. Positively, this can be a very inspiring creative time for you! So lean into this aspect.
Venus is smoothing any rough waters, as it is in a positive relationship with Uranus. Venus is reminding you to take things easy as it travels your sign. It may help you find joy in your life and how you approach your desires. Perhaps being more spontaneous can bring in new forms of passion or a creative outlet. Don’t resist the flow you feel yourself into. You may even surprise yourself around this lunation.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also very helpful at this lunation. They gift you the power of words and the ability to say exactly what you need. Information could come to you suddenly around this New Moon, as well — listen and digest first before acting. Mars in your sign will want you to see things move quickly, but Neptune can create a bit of a fog. Neptune can support in a big way though, by having you really listen to your intuition and listen to the more perceptive pieces of yourself.
Use this New Moon to open doors to new resources and focus on what you have and what you can gain. You may have to let go to receive. Seek alternative sources of income or money. Look to new pathways of earning. Confront your feeling of being unworthy. Hold yourself in high regard and own your value. Your talents bring you everything you want. You own, create, and hold all of the potential in your own hands.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
It is your time, dear Aquarius! Don’t let anyone dim your light. This New Moon is a call to come home back to yourself, finding clarity in your identity, and what you actually want in life.
It falls in your 1st House of self. 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. Saturn has been in your sign making it difficult to get ahead without effort or hard work. It co-rules this lunation now, so it asks you to put what you’ve learned to the test! It isn’t just that you have gained new insight, but what you actually do with it.
Uranus is in your 4th House, squaring this lunation. So, it seems that you may feel pulled in two directions. You could have shifts coming at home that you were not privy to. There may be surprises that pop up, and in turn, this could place stress on you. This New Moon makes alterations to how you view your family. Perhaps shifting your home/family itself (is there a new member coming, or is your family dynamic restructuring/changing?). You may feel the need to nest or ground yourself. This is a call to withdraw a bit. It is hard to tell what will happen, as Uranus is a planet of unpredictability. However, it is your co-ruler, so the outcome could be favorable for you. It helps you bring an end to something that may have been holding you back — or it could allow you to listen to your intuition more.
Venus is smoothing any rough water, as it is positively aspected to Uranus. Venus welcomes serenity and moments of rest amid uncertainty. It will show up as an energetic reset. You may be craving some privacy, and it may be just what you need to reflect and come out feeling stronger than ever.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also both very helpful at this New Moon. They bring a gusto of motivation to your resources, energy, and values. You could be bringing in a new job, a form of work, new resources, or even a new client. You may find that you are willing to get into the flow of making things happen and are intuiting your next steps. Don’t overthink now. Just lean into those feelings.
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. Own your shadow — and your light.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
It is time to withdraw a bit, Pisces. You know your time is coming, but this Aquarius New Moon highlights a time to go within and take time to rest.
The New Moon 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.
Uranus is in your 3rd House. So, it seems that you may get unexpected news that shakes you up a bit. There may be information that comes out that really changes your perspective. It may come from a friend, sibling, neighbor, or someone in your local community. Alternatively, you could find yourself in high demand or spreading yourself too thin. Be careful of biting off more than you can chew. Even more — you could get an unexpected offer for a job, client, or creative project! Uranus is unpredictable, so it is hard to know how it will manifest in your life completely. One of the best ways Uranus can manifest is through inspiring ideas in your 3rd House. Uranus may push you to be more vocal or share — perhaps in ways you had not considered before.
Venus is adding a dash of softness now. It is in a very good aspect to Uranus. Venus reminds you of the power of community and connection. Perhaps that sharing ideas with those close to you or that you are in community with can inspire you. You may also unexpectedly meet new people or feel excited about the prospect of different projects that push your boundaries a bit. New ideas of what your future can and will be may arise, too, as Venus tours your 11th House.
Luckily, Mars in Capricorn and Neptune in your sign are both very well-aspected to one another. They are granting you opportunities to see through the fog and maintain a broader perspective. This helps to promote more autonomy and independence, especially as it adds fire to drive you forward to what you know is best for you. A good friend could even help to push you in a new direction that seemingly changes your perspective of yourself.
Use this New Moon to slow down and focus on completion. Take time for rest, reflection, and respite. Turn your attention to what needs to be addressed and seek resolution. Close doors on what no longer holds value in your life — let go of limitations. Ease into the spiritual space and commune with your spirit. Give yourself forgiveness, grace, and peace. You deserve it now.
Leo Full Moon Miniscopes
Leo Full
Moon Miniscopes
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.
NOTE: If you are reading this before January 26th, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener and I are hosting a 2024 Year Ahead astrology workshop, where we will cover some of the biggest transits of the year. To join in, use simply click here!
We also recorded a podcast episode going through some of the transits of the year in minimal detail, more will be explored during the workshop. Listen here!
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
Aries & Aries Rising
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. 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.
Your 10th House is being highlighted — a place of career, direction, and honor. You may be busy with work and considering ways to change how you approach your career. This would be an ideal time to launch a product/project, bringing your focus to the type of work you do and/or maintaining your perspective on your goals. Are you feeling like you are doing what you want to do? How does this influence your daily life? Are you overwhelmed right now? Taking on too much? In some ways, you may be reaching a pinnacle. You could be redefining your purpose and pushing yourself to the next level. Saturn rules this New Moon, and it will be focused on building deeper spiritual practices and learning to integrate wisdom that sits out of view. This is about allowing yourself to find comfort in surrendering or not always having the answers. You will find yourself being reminded that in order to stand more firmly, you will need to let go. Your greatest responsibility in the coming years is learning to believe in yourself and have faith again. In many ways, Saturn’s influence will have you commit to your emotional and spiritual world. This will not be a time to mistrust your intuition, but learn to ground it.
Uranus is playful and exciting at this lunation, where it reaches out to both the Sun and Moon. An unexpected resource may land in your lap — this could be financial. A project that you seem to be wrapping up will come with a lot of joy and fulfillment or it could be that a surprise opportunity finds its way to you! Whatever it is, Uranus will bring a swirl of excitement into your life — and it seems welcome!
Use this New 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. Really give yourself space to go after what you want.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
This is a time of learning, understanding, and making time for your own potential growth. This, in part, requires you to take a few more risks.

Support can be hard to come by — for some of you, this may mean that some friends or people in your network may exit in the coming years. However, new people will enter, especially those who are more committed to investing in friendship or relationships. This energy will also prompt you to find a deeper meaning of your place in this world or your role in society.
Uranus has been traveling your sign for the last few years creating some ups and downs. At this New Moon, it plays nice and helps encourage a little fun! This energy will promote a chance for you to let loose and lean into what you love! Do something a bit bold and a bit daring! You could find yourself more willing to lean into the unexpected. You could surprise some people!
Use this New Moon to start seeing possibilities that may lie elsewhere. Remove the limitations by removing yourself from situations that make you feel small. Start finding alternative pathways and know they still lead to the goals you want to achieve. Take time to assess what you really want from life. It can help you clear the blocks that stand in front of you.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
You have come so far, and the last month or so was a wild ride for you! Right now though, your mind turns toward some healing, slowing down and focusing on what’s here in front of you. This New Moon reinforces that message. It falls in your 8th House, this puts attention on shedding old skin, releasing and unearthing. Even in ways not seen by others, your life has been completely transformed.
This New Moon is asking for you to get intimate. Focus on your emotional well-being, but also share your depths with those you are close to. It could be a great New Moon for exploring interests and opening yourself up to the unknown. Alternatively, some of you may have past issues that crop up and need your attention. Resilience is key as you walk through fire and ice to get to the core of what keeps you in your holding patterns. Like a Phoenix, you can rise again, burning brighter, faster, and hotter than ever before — but it may require personal grace and confrontations with your own limitations first. Consider this confrontation an exercise of intimacy — with yourself and others. Remember that resilience can simply be leaning into your softness. With Saturn leading this New Moon, will learn what it means to be more visible. There will be focused on building stronger foundations in your work or reputation. The thing is, people are paying attention to you — recognition won’t be hard to come by. However, there will be lessons around maintaining a level of privacy in the process of rising higher. Some of you may also make important shifts or changes in the work you do. Ultimately, Saturn is pushing you to consider your legacy in this world. What do you want to be known for?
Uranus is asking for you to slow down and rest a bit — perhaps expect the unexpected in the quiet moments. It works well with the Sun and Moon, making this lunation a good one to spark an exciting time in your spiritual journey or help you really close a door on something that has felt looming! Don’t worry, you will be happy this happened — especially with Uranus’s positive reception to the Sun. If you have been feeling overworked, build in some time to relax and make room for leisure.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
