Sagittarius New
Moon Miniscopes
Faith requires Trust.
The New Moon falls at 9º Sagittarius, 1:21 AM ET on December 1st.
The Sun and Moon embrace, reminding us that reflection and growth go hand in hand. We embody the dichotomy of our own natures with a New Moon: the internal & external—intimate & exposed. The fact that it falls in Sagittarius should not go unnoticed, as expansion results from what is to come. When faced with adversity or limitation, Sagittarius pushes beyond all barriers to reach the highest point it can—and even then, it keeps going. We can start to see things for what they are, and there is no mistaking. We must step back and see the big picture.
Jupiter, the benevolent, is the leader of this New Moon. Wherever it touches, we see potential and growth—removing all obstacles that may stand in our way. Jupiter is in Gemini, sitting opposite Mercury Rx. We see that through trusting our intuition, we move from one space to another with more ease. Here we find that there is a need to fine tune our morals, speak our truths, and live in our values — embodying them.
Saturn will square the New Moon, so we may not be ready to take those leaps of faith for our own sense of growth because we distrust our intuition or what we are seeing. We are caught between the details and the big picture, unsure where to look and how far to go. We should seek to see the forest through the trees for this New Moon and keep that more expansive view. Saturn is now in direct motion and is slowly gaining momentum, and the reality checks are hitting a bit differently. This can also bring up feelings of uncertainty, disappointment, and responsibility. We may be more clouded in perception, added only by the Mercury retrograde.
Venus and Uranus connect, aspecting through a trine and heading into this New Moon together. This comes as an important theme: we have to keep our hearts alive. There is an element of believing in our pleasure and our joy. We find ourselves wanting to sit more in the abstract, future-forward, and aspirational. Don’t lose sight of your dreams. You may need to take time to re-evaluate what it will take to make your dreams come to life. Whimsy and excitement take the lead as Venus and Uranus explore how following your heart can open a world of opportunity.
As all of this comes together, let it be a reminder that you are the hero of your story. You blaze the trail toward your future. You strike the match and light the way, guided by the stars in your eyes and overhead. As the narrative continues to unfold, you can feel more confident in your place in this world. Relish in the new opportunities that present themselves around you. You are your own knight in shining armour. Your soul knows no bounds.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 4º to 14, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Mutable placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
As you stand at the threshold of your next move, you find that you are being asked to see your potential. This is important because you are not as limited as you may have originally thought you were. Sometimes it takes seeing things from a new perspective to gain clarity or know what is possible. This New Moon comes at a great time, as it blazes through in bright Sagittarius and highlights your 9th House of expansion, growth, exploration, and possibility.
You may have felt like you had one option, but have not given yourself the chance to see there are others around you. What you need to know is you are in a position where you create your destiny and your outcomes. It may require you to take a leap of faith — trusting yourself comes to mind. Some of you may be looking to gain more insight or a new skill, either through higher education, experience, travel, or self-learning. You could be taking classes, joining a cause, or confronting outdated beliefs. Whatever it is, you are all eyes toward your growth. There is so much in you that you have yet to explore. It is time to dive right in.
Jupiter will lead this New Moon and works toward an opposition to Mercury. Jupiter has been giving you a gift of communication. There has been endless growth in the last six months where you have learned and integrated new ideas. More than anything, Jupiter has been showing you the importance of your voice. Soon you will start to see how all of your conversations and learnings come together.
With Saturn squaring this New 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 New Moon to explore new places — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Challenge your perspective, open your mind, and reach beyond current limitations. Seek help in order to achieve your goals and put yourself out there to gain notoriety. There is so much happening around you. If you feel confused, take a step back and pull yourself out of the details. See the big picture and soon you will know which path to take.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
It feels like you are making an important decision for yourself soon. You know that there is something looming — and you feel called to step back a bit. There may have been a setback or news you received that caused you to re-evaluate the path you are on. This New Moon in Sagittarius comes in and says it is time to let go, refocus, and transform.
It sits in your 8th House, a space in a chart that remains in the darkness. When we are provided with a lens into this area, we see parts of our life that need to be addressed, healed, and confronted. You may be working through your emotions, going to therapy, or seeking counsel. You could be looking at alternative resources that may be available to you, and sharing more intimate information with people you trust. You know you want to break an important cycle or end something that isn’t working. This is a chance for you to get your ducks in a row and make your preparations. Some of you may even receive news about a bonus, contract, group project, or investment at this time, as well. There is an obvious focus on your resources, as well — both shared and personal.
Jupiter, the giver of gifts, has been transiting your 2nd House and happens to lead this New Moon. Jupiter has helped you increase your earning potential, financial situation, and self-worth in the last six months. Overall, this is an invitation to see yourself in a better light and expand what makes you feel valuable.
Saturn in your 11th House squares the New 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 joy away at times. The ask is to balance things. Be mindful of where you place your resources in terms of community. 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 New Moon to reflect on your growth and how you have transformed in the last year. Seek new resources. Get intimate with a partner or close relationship — even yourself. Focus on the power you hold personally, finding new ways of sharing who you are. Explore your depths, take hold of your fears, and no longer be held back by cyclic patterns that keep you trapped. This is about seeing new pathways that had once been hidden from view. You hold the keys.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
You are being called to seek balance now. You may have been focused on yourself, your motivations, and the things you desire. Now, you are starting to see how your actions extend beyond you and bleed into those around you. You may have your mind on your relationships, your partnerships, or the “others” in your life. People hold importance now. This New Moon in Sagittarius will be sitting in your 7th House of “others”.
You may need to focus your attention on your partner, a close friend, or a business partner. A close relationship is nourishing for you now, more than it has been lately. If you want to seek clarity around the relationships you have in your life — and you may gain it now. People are showing you who they are — believe them. You could also be asked to cultivate more equilibrium and enact better boundaries. This New 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. Some of you may start an entirely new cycle and commit to someone or something more intently in your life.
Jupiter is the leader of this New Moon and has been sitting in your sign. It builds to an opposition to Mercury, but its magic is still felt. You have been reconnecting with yourself on a grander level. You have been experiencing areas of growth around independence, motivation, and personal joys. It is time to truly witness how far you have come. Your evolution has been remarkable. Don’t disregard even the smallest of feats.
Saturn will square this New 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 the value in the relationships around you. You are working hard to slowly build something to bring out into the world, but it should not come at the expense of your personal connections. 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 New Moon to focus on your boundaries. Understand the roles that you play in others’ lives and what they play in yours. See where you can receive and know what you have to give. Form new relationships and dissolve old ones that don’t support you. Seek out ways to create a better relationship with yourself above all else. Nothing will ever be as solid as the love you can give to yourself.
Cancer & cancer Rising
You have been reflecting a lot lately. You may have been making changes behind the scenes that other people are not yet seeing. You are tying up those loose ends. However, you may have felt more disconnected from what is right in front of you. There is a need to focus on the present now and gain more awareness in your daily life. This New Moon in Sagittarius opens the doors to you, turning your attention to your work, health, routines, and mundane life as it moves into your 6th House.
This is your chance to change how you approach your day — maybe building more efficient routines or rituals that can help you deal with your schedule better. Some of you may be questioning your placement with work or your working environment. Maybe you are not totally sure which direction to go or how to start. Try not to put pressure on yourself. Since this is a New Moon, there is an opportunity to begin something — in this case it would be in the ways you care for yourself and your body. If work isn’t fulfilling you, then why force yourself to do it? Alternatively, you could have your eyes on your health and be looking to create better habits for yourself. Whatever it is, it seems that you are trying to get organized. New clients, projects, and/or responsibilities may be coming through the door soon, as well. Know what you can and cannot take on.
Jupiter leads this New Moon but sits in a quiet but powerful place in your chart. It has been going through the 12th House, so it is showing you the growth that comes from release, letting go, and closure. Jupiter is suggesting that it is a great time to integrate all you have learned in the last few months. Focus on not holding things too closely and exercise the expansiveness in surrendering.
Saturn in your 9th House squares the New Moon. You are caught between thinking and acting — perhaps even making a decision. But here is the TDLR; 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 New Moon to bring it all together. See how the small things in your life impact everything else. Pay attention to your body and work on making amends with how you may have abused it in the past. Work on getting healthier — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Look for opportunities of growth in your work, daily life, and routines. Be flexible. See that perfection is not the goal — the process teaches us more than the outcome. Work on taking care of yourself.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
When was the last time you decided to listen to your heart? There is a call to bring more joy, expression, and creation into your life. This New Moon in a fellow Fire sign lights up all over your 5th House, clarifying what makes you happy. New Moons signal a new cycle, so this may require you to let go of something that burdens you or has been weighing heavily on your heart. Be gentle with yourself.
The 5th House is all about risk, love, heart-centered action, creation, conception, and the inner child. You may want to engage in more play and pleasure. It is time to let loose and try something you normally wouldn’t. Some of you may start a new relationship, try to have a baby, or even bring more warmth and passion back into an existing relationship. Alternatively, you could be expressing yourself in an entirely new way. You are getting into a groove and more willing to put yourself out there. This requires a level of confidence that you are coming into. Give yourself grace. It is ok to take up space. Adventures are on the horizon for you! The next few months may ask that you take the plunge toward something new!
Jupiter takes the lead this New Moon, but it sits expansively in your 11th House. You are in a space of growing your community and sense of connection. Lean onto others when you need support. You will be surprised by how people show up for you! This will be especially true as Jupiter loves being in the 11th House more than anywhere else. This is about co-creation and collaboration. Don’t shy away! Those you keep close to you will open doors and you will do the same for them.
Saturn is poised in your 8th House, where it squares the New 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 growth opportunities. 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 New Moon to find new ways to have fun. Follow your heart more and listen to your inner child. Seek new ways to engage in pleasure and creativity. Let loose. If you are looking to conceive (a child, a project or anything), let this New Moon be the thing that pushes you to start or get more focused on it. Anything that pulls at your heart will be favored. So really get in touch with what you desire most.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
A focus on your home life may do you some good, especially after weeks of running around and busy moments. You may be feeling pulled to focus on your domestic world, and seeking to rest up. This New Moon in Sagittarius is the perfect antidote to combat everything you have had going on. It will fall in your 4th House of home, family, roots, and emotional well-being.
This is a call to turn your attention to your foundations and get your life in order. If you need to withdraw or tend to your space, then do so. You may want to spruce up your decor, try a new recipe, or connect with family members. Some of you may be looking to buy, sell, or rent property – or simply just make light updates to your home. Whatever it is, this New Moon will require you to seek refuge and create your sanctuary. If you have been combing through the past, you may be inspired by old ideas and connections you’ve made. Ancestral work can be extremely healing during this time. Some cycles are broken at home. You can create new traditions in your life.
It is good to look at Jupiter at this New Moon as it holds precedence. It has created so much growth and positive change in your career over the last six months! There is much to rejoice in and be proud of. You have been putting yourself on a whole new level and exalting your presence to the outside world. Right now it is prime time to realize how successful you truly are.
With Saturn in your 7th house square the New 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, and 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 New Moon, it will feel very in your face, as you feel torn between making a choice regarding a partnership or a 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 New Moon to settle in and come back to center. Focus on your roots and your family. Find security in your emotional foundations and create a sanctuary for yourself. Find peace in the quiet. Work on things around the house and spruce up your space. If you want to move, this lunation could give you the boost you need to find the right place!
Libra & Libra Rising
It may be time to share what has been brewing in your mind. It seems that your ideas are coming in rapid-fire, and you have so much you would like to get done now. This New Moon in Sagittarius comes sweeping in, to sit brightly in your 3rd House, so prepare to share! The 3rd House is the house of communication, thoughts, ideas, language, and local community. This is a space that feels good to you.
You may be wrapping up a project, focusing on writing content/blogs/articles, or even simply seeking to learn as much as possible. Your mind is insatiable right now. There is a call to interact and learn through those interactions, so reach out to people to help get your ideas flowing. Alternatively, you may just be feeling busier than normal. The 3rd House can have us filling our schedules quickly. Take a moment to step back and prioritize what is important to you. Are you spreading yourself too thin? What actually needs your attention right now? Be mindful of how you use your time.
Jupiter leads this lunation and builds to an opposition of Mercury. Jupiter has been helping you grow your perspective and welcome abundant opportunities to reach beyond your fears. There have been valuable lessons in trusting yourself and taking leaps of faith. You are being asked to integrate these lessons now. You are bigger than you could ever imagine.
With Saturn square the New 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 New Moon in your 3rd, there is a sense that you may need to tune out the noise. 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 New Moon to speak your magic into the world. Communication is key, and your words hold more power than they have in a long time. Don’t be afraid to tell others what you are thinking, but also be open to what they have to say. Create important dialogue and have those tough conversations. Be flexible and adapt to the ever-changing tides in life. You are being asked to integrate your experiences and open yourself up to new possibilities.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
With a New Moon in your 2nd House, you will be all eyes on security. However, security can come in many forms. You will be asked to look at your resources, your values, and your self-worth. Do you feel that you are enough? Have you been giving yourself grace? Are you using your resources effectively? Perhaps you need to make changes to how you produce and accumulate.
You may be too hyper-focused on what brings you security now – but remain complacent. Strategy is important here. The long-term is where things will pay off for you. The Sagittarius energy at this New Moon wants you to dream a little and stoke the creativity in your heart. It wants you to trust the talents you have and see that you are enough to make everything you want to come true. You could work on budgeting, changing banks or investments, or even shifting/changing your source(s) of income at this lunation. Don’t let impostor syndrome keep you down. You are a valuable part of your community.
Jupiter will lead this New Moon from your 8th House. In the six months, you have seen major changes in how you handle your resources and share them with others. Great emotional healing has also been a big part of your process. You will be asked to recognize and integrate all that you’ve learned in the last year. Of course, this takes time, but this New Moon acts as a start.
Saturn is in your 5th House, teaching you lessons around personal joy and happiness. It squares the New 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 New Moon in your 2nd, remember that your resources don’t yield happiness. Personal value 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 New Moon to focus on the ground you stand on. What do you value? When was the last time you showed yourself respect? Seek out ways to show yourself that you can rely on you. Build a greater space for personal security and understand the value in owning every aspect of your own humanity. Find new resources and open up doors of working through financial stress and abundance. There’s no scarcity in the world you have created for yourself now.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
It is time to bring it all back to you. This New Moon falls in your sign, highlighting your drive, motivations, and desires. It is literally opening new pathways for you. The ground you walk on and where you stand is only just the beginning. You need to know that you are being tasked with confronting anything that is currently seen as an obstacle.
This New Moon can have you surging with energy (watch for exhaustion post-New Moon) and will have you feeling passionate about something that has been top of mind. Whatever you want in life, it can be yours if you are willing to go for it. Your 1st House is all about the things that drive us in life. You are being told that your identity is important. You are being witnessed, perceived, and seen. The masks are coming off. Stand within your courageous being and take control of your desires. Release what has been plaguing you or holding you back.
Jupiter is the leader of this New Moon. It is working toward a Mercury opposition. This is ok, as Jupiter’s influence is more widely felt — especially in your 7th House! Relationships have been a point of focus and growth for you. You may have found yourself really getting comfortable with collaboration and connection — and bettering your relationships with yourself in the process. Jupiter’s influence marks a turning point in all you have learned in the last six months.
With Saturn in your 4th House, it squares the New Moon, bringing you back home. You could feel pulled between needing to show up in life but having responsibilities that weight you down — especially 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 lunation to focus on yourself. Work on discovering new pieces of your identity and releasing parts of you that no longer serve you. Be fueled by your desires and passions and run with your ideas. Motivation is key. You are able to make anything you want come to fruition, especially as the doors swing open just for you. Stand in your power. Embrace the spotlight. Own every facet of your being.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
After a busy and full last few weeks, you are seeking respite and a chance to slow down. As we enter the realm of this Sagittarius New Moon, you will be called into a place of rest and restoration. Your 12th House is now being illuminated by this lunation, where we can find the subconscious energy we hold coming to the surface.
You are shining a light on all that has felt hidden or unseen. Old buried emotions may come back if they have not been properly dealt with. Some of you may also be looking to engage in an ending of sorts. You could be bringing something to a close: a project, a relationship, a contract, or even a phase of your life. Whatever it is, you are asked to have faith and trust in yourself. The biggest challenge of the 12th House is knowing when to let go. You are reminded that seeing isn’t always believing — belief comes from within with a different sort of vision. Your intuition will be heightened now. You are asked to listen to it. When you strip away all of the noise, what do you hear? What do you see?
Jupiter is a key player at this New Moon. It has been expanding your 6th House for the last six months, turning your attention to your health, work, and your routines. This would be a great time to devote more time and resources to what makes you feel best and engage in better boundaries overall.
Saturn squares the New 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 New Moon to withdraw a bit where you can. Find more peace in everyday life — including work/life balance. Take time to rest and recharge. Tie up loose ends and close doors that need to be shut. Re-engage with yourself, replenish your energy, and enjoy downtime (by creating it). Listen to your intuition more and record your dreams. This is an opportunity for you to truly let go and open yourself up to something greater.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
When was the last time you allowed yourself to envision what tomorrow could look like? The future is unpredictable, but sometimes we need to be reminded to have a little hope. This New Moon in Sagittarius may be just what you need to engage with that energy. It will sit brilliantly in your 11th House of hopes, dreams, the future, network, and community.
You are being called to surround yourself with people who want to support and uplift you. Friends will be coming out of the woodwork and showing up for you. The community you have created is abundant and allows you to flourish…just remember to reach out to them when you need their help. You may have a tendency to want to do things all on your own, but others have strengths where you feel weak. Knowing when to let other people in can be powerful for you. This New Moon wants you to know that you are not alone. Another way to engage in this beautiful Sagittarius energy is to give yourself space to create, maybe even set up a plan or idea of what your next steps may look like. The future always begins today.
Jupiter is the ruler of this New Moon. Jupiter continues to carry a theme for you that’s come up in the last six months. This centers around creativity, children, pleasure, joy, and play. There is a call to see how much you have expanded this area of your life and slow down to enjoy where you are.
Saturn is square the New 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 New Moon to call on your community. Ask for support where it is necessary and seek out new methods of networking. Focus on your friendships and nurture the ones that prove to strengthen you. Look at your goals, your future, and your hopes. What do you want out of the next five years? Three years? Who can help you get there? How can you make this happen? These are questions to reflect on — just remember to not let your dreams die. Keep the faith alive.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
You may be really focusing on your work, career, or direction right now. It seems that you have been doing a lot to secure a better path for yourself. Long-term goals come to the forefront of your mind. This New Moon in Sagittarius asks you to dream about what you want your career to look like. If you want to make changes, you may find that you can shed all your inhibitions ––and walk toward something more creative or in line with your vision.
Your 10th House is being highlighted in a way that it has not been for quite some time. All your work in the last few years has not been in vain. You are starting to see how even unrelated efforts are impacting the big picture for you. The ask here is that you start to clearly define your goals. You may have to be more realistic about work, or release expectations here. Maybe too much is being asked of you. You could apply for new positions, receive a promotion, leave a job, or even change careers altogether. Whatever it is, you are more aware of your position and direction. Additionally, it seems that all eyes are on you or that you are getting more recognition than you are used to. You have the chance to gain some notoriety now. Don’t be afraid. Step into this power. Be witnessed.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and it leads this New Moon. Being your traditional ruler, it has still had a great impact on you. It has been in your 4th House, helping you find ways to expand your sense of home, family, and safety — getting back to your roots or emotional foundations. Its role is to really gift you with a connection to your inner world in a new way.
Saturn is in your sign (or 1st House), and it has been already changing you from the inside out in the last year. At this New Moon, it creates a square, 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 New Moon to focus on your career and your life direction. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Be noticed and seek opportunities that make you more visible. Call the shots and show your leadership qualities. Strive for new goals and scale ever-higher mountains. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and relish in your successes. See the power within you and let that be what pushes you into the next phase of your life. You are moving toward such great heights.
Taurus Full Moon Miniscopes
Taurus Full
Moon Miniscopes
Growth from Compost.
The Full Moon falls at 24º Taurus, 4:28 PM ET on November 15th.
As we navigate the depths of Scorpio Season, we are given a Full Moon in Taurus to bring us back to Earth – the place between Heaven and Hell. This Full Moon is one that illuminates everything we have been through over the last few weeks and touches on what's to come. Changes have been made, directions have been altered, and perspectives have shifted.
There’s a strong flow of energy that sweeps in to give us the answers we seek at this lunation. The accumulation and potency of this Full Moon seems so powerful that its energy will feel buzzing. Luckily, the Moon in its exalted state will prepare us. The Sun in Scorpio shines its light on the Moon in Taurus, where we find the power in these polarities – ownership. We are called to reclaim our power and stand our ground. However, there are strong oscillations between the Taurus and Scorpio axis. A see-saw between celestial bodies tells us that growth happens but not in the extremes. We can’t keep being pulled in two different directions. We are called to return home — back to ourselves and the garden we have long neglected. It is time to till the soil again.
The Moon joins hands with Uranus. There may be jolting moments that create a bit of inspiration or excitement around this lunation. The Moon/Uranus conjunction in and of itself is already very magnetic and electric. We can be push toward acting on our values in new and innovative ways. Spontaneity and risk-taking may actually be rewarded at this time, as Uranus wants to see us move beyond the status quo. Unpredictable behaviors are likely. What we choose to do now may even shock/surprise us. There is no question that change is in the air.
With Venus ruling this Full Moon, we can feel this desire to find strength in our values. It will square the Lunar Nodes, so we could be confronted by the limitations of our growth. If we sit in the possibility, we can find that will move beyond any obstacles that stand before us. This may require us to dig deeper than we have in the last few weeks.
Mars is continuing to slow down. The actions we take now will be catalysts to greater overall change and evolution in our lives individually/collectively. However, they will take time. This should inspire us to making moves toward what we desire and believe in. With that, at times, we may find that the best course of action is simply allowing the shedding of old skin. Mobilize toward a new future.
Re-engage with your senses at this Full Moon and get back to the Earth. We are rising out of the shadows and into the clouds, but we must first touch the ground again. This is only the beginning of what’s to come.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 19º to 29º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
Aries now is the time to flex your skills and stand your ground. This Full Moon will have your mind on resources, self-worth, and value. You can help to get yourself in a good position. But be your own advocate.
This Full Moon is in your 2nd House, so your focus can be turned toward resources. Are you valued for your work? What is your compensation like, even outside of income? Some of you may be looking for a raise, promotion, or change to your financial picture. Others of you may thinking about how to use the resources you have differently (tangible or otherwise). Use this Full Moon to push that forward for you. The Sun is in Scorpio, so it make ask that you dig deeper to find the right solution to whatever problem may arise! Remain grounded in your approach, but charge ahead knowing that you can grow an abundant garden from all that you decide to plant. There is a major theme around personal value that creeps up. You need to see yourself differently — own every facet of your talents and your experience. You are valuable. You are worthy. Not because someone says you are or because of what you have, but just simply because you exist.
Uranus will oppose the Scorpio Sun, creating an unpredictable flavor to this Full Moon. It may make us a bit more impulsive or feel chaotic in general. However, it can be extremely inspiring and jolt us out of stagnation. You could end up rerouting yourself or your plans in a way that leaves you feeling more refreshed in the end. Know that if there is an issue with resources that pop up, it will be temporary. Try not to be pulled off course by jolting news.
Use this lunation to reflect on your values, morals, and beliefs. Also, take stock of what you own and what resources you can obtain. See what could use changing, reimagining, or refocusing. You will be making major changes to how you handle personal and shared resources in the near future. Your efforts are not in vain.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Taurus, there is a Full Moon in your sign! This is important and points to the New Moon we experienced in your sign earlier around May of this year. Think back to what you started around then and how you are carrying a similar theme. Perhaps you are ready to start a new cycle for yourself or pieces are starting to come together!
This lunation falls in your 1st House, bringing you back to your place in this world. Who are you? What do you want? You have been dealing with eclipses in your sign and oppositions from Uranus, so you may have been shedding old skin in order to release what isn’t working for you. This Full Moon will give you a chance to find what WILL work for you. You get to decide how you live your life and make strides in building a new you. Now is the time to be unapologetically yourself. Celebrate your individuality. Take pride in where you are right now. It is time to call back your power!
There can be sparks that may also burn out of control if we aren’t careful, especially as Uranus opposes the Sun. This adds false urgency, surprises, and whirlwind energy to the lunation. You could act without really thinking things through or moving too fast. Try to slow down. Be intentional and not get swept away by the buzzing feeling. It can inspire you but don’t misstep in the process of trying to actually make a progressive forward leap. Know that you may be the one that acts more out of character or surprises people during this Full Moon.
Use this Full Moon to work on yourself and focus on your needs. See what needs to be adjusted or refined. Where could you benefit from being more gentle with yourself? Where could you be more disciplined? How can you see yourself more clearly? You can make great strides in standing out and allowing yourself to be seen and heard. You are on a path toward really making shifts in your identity and overall life.
Gemini & Gemini 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 Moon is in your 12th House. There are important endings afoot now.
This Full Moon is perfectly positioned in your 12th House, so right now is a time to find a balance in work, pleasure, play, and rest. Work quietly behind the scenes and slow down. You are turning inward and focused on preserving your energy. You know you will be expending a lot of it soon. The 12th House can bring insights that we were not privy to before. So, you may discover information that was hidden from view. Now is a time to listen to your intuition and focus on how to best navigate quietly. If you need a respite, take it! Additionally, this area of your chart is about following your intuition and trusting the unseen. Listen to your inner magic. Some doors may close for you, but new ones will soon open.
Uranus will oppose the Sun and join the Moon, creating some thunderbolts and electricity now. You may feel a bit overwhelmed, overworked, or just a bit directionless. Uranus is an unpredictable force. Be careful of over-scheduling yourself and know your limits. Alternatively, Uranus could be a driving force of inspiration, but may make you act too quickly or too soon without giving anything much thought. Take time to think before acting now. Not everything is as urgent as it seems.
Use this Full Moon to focus on the places that you escape or choose to ignore. See what needs to come to a close and what needs to be expanded. Make peace in the quiet. Find power in resolution. Explore new areas of faith, belief, and spirituality — but also be ok with not knowing or having answers. You are on the precipice of closing a chapter and starting a whole new one. What is needed to fully walk through that door?
Cancer & cancer 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.
With this lunation hanging out in your 11th House, you will be looking at your connections and friends as a way to help you move ahead. You may even just want to catch up with people, feeling a little more social than normal. The Moon will be subconsciously drawing you out more. You are realizing that community is becoming increasingly important to you, and you may be trying to find where you want to align yourself. Budding friendships become lasting ones, and old friends are showing up left and right. Bask in this! People are showing you love, and you deserve that. Support seems like magic. You are recognizing that you can’t do things alone. You need others. Co-create. Collaborate. Connect!
Uranus will oppose the Sun in Scorpio, so you could have an unexpected conversation with a friend (or friends) that leaves you feeling excited or inspired! Alternatively, you could be swept up in collective narratives that lead you to take action or act more spontaneously. Whatever it is, there is a whirlwind brewing. So take a second to slow down and reflect before leaping. The leap can be good and yield some greater opportunities or results, but jumping before you are ready can leave you feeling unsafe or disoriented. Uranus is electrifying, so there is no shortage of excitement or buzzing now.
Use this Full Moon to reflect on your goals and future visions. See where you are and ask for support where it matters. Don’t allow yourself to fall victim to pleasing people. Learn to find the community and friendships that are worthy. Invest in the relationships that challenge you to grow. Your hopes and dreams can become a reality when you genuinely ask for help. You are finding your strength again.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
You have been working hard lately. 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. Your mind will be on work and your goals in the coming year. This is the start of something new!
This Full Moon will bring you to new heights! It falls in your 10th House, so you have the chance to plant seeds in your career or make important moves in your life. You are becoming more aware of your direction and what you want! With the Sun in Scorpio, you are asked to recognize what is most important to you. You will have to dig a little deeper to discover what you truly want. Nothing you are doing is in vain. The right people are taking notice. If you do change jobs or careers, you may find that the work you want to do will be something completely different or distinct. Perhaps that is the change you want, too! Alternatively, some of you may make discoveries about your passions that drive you into a new field or up the ladder into a new role/position. Whatever it is, a career or work-related matter seems to be at the forefront of your mind.
You may be embarking on a bigger journey that course corrects you or puts you on a different path than you have imagined. This is especially true as Uranus opposes the Sun. You may be feeling a bit overwhelmed or like you need a break, perhaps you may also feel like you are biting off more than you can chew. Almost as if things are moving so fast, and you can’t slow them down. However, this energy can support big leaps of faith and the sort of fresh start you have been waiting for. You may not have all the answers, but in some ways, you don’t need to. Some of you could be feeling pulled between priorities with work and home. If that is the case, know that this is temporary and clarity will come in the days after this Full Moon.
As there is so much happening around this Full Moon, use this time to truly reflect on where you are. Are you happy at work? What needs changing? Are you doing what makes you happy? Take steps to get what you want out of your life. Redirect your path. Ask for the promotion. Find new employment. Witness the dynamics at work and then assess your next moves. It is time to lean in and go after what you want.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
You are reaching new heights! You have recently taken a leap of faith, and you know that there is no way you can go back now! Doors of opportunity open and possibility awaits — a portal into something new. It is time to grow, grow, grow! You are being asked to expand past your current limitations. Whatever your goal is, now is the time to make sure you are fully aligned with it.
With this Full Moon in your 9th House, you are actively growing and trying new things! You are taking the experiences you have had and applying them future-forward. Now is a time to be bold and optimistic about the journey that lies ahead. The Moon will make sure that you are grounded in your approach while remaining open to the beautiful changes that life can bring! Flexible structures. Here, you will see that your world is shifting. The 9th House is about limitless potential. You realize the world truly is your oyster in this realm, and you can make what you want out of it. You will likely see your goals more clearly than you have in a long time and thus change your priorities in achieving them. Nothing is too far out of reach. All it takes is a little faith.
With Uranus opposed the Sun, you could also misspeak or talk without thinking. This could lead to some conflict or overreactions. Additionally, it may make you jump the gun and decide on something without having all the information in front of you. Of course, this may not be the case entirely, but knowing that the possibility is there means slowing down and exercising your innate thoughtfulness. One last way this could manifest is just through being incredibly busy or people reaching out to you left and right. This may have you feeling excited but maybe overwhelmed with so much happening around you — even if it isn’t impacting you directly. You don’t have to always have the answers nor are people always looking for them either. Just focus on what is right in front of you to find calm in the chaos.
Use this Full Moon to assess the big picture. Where could you use more adventure in your life? You could feel a push and pull of acting immediately — give things some time to settle. You will see that you are on the brink of a new journey, one that allows you to take the lead. You can explore new perspectives, educate yourself and seek out more spontaneous experiences. Nothing is perfect, but you can enjoy every moment that is set out before you. No time is wasted when you truly are living.
Libra & Libra 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 the time to share your resources, your fears, your desires, and your motivations. Your 8th House is being activated, so nothing is off-limits.
The Full Moon in your 8th House, opening doors for resources that have been untapped or previously hidden. This could be emotional or material. Some of you may find out about an unexpected gain, whether through you or a partner, perhaps an inheritance, or some sort of windfall — especially with Uranus being so prevalent. Alternatively, you may find that you are working toward paying off debts and feeling more secure — that you don’t owe anything to anyone. This could also apply to how you feel about emotional debts, almost washing your hands of old situations or people that no longer serve you. This Full Moon may also bring about a transformation. One that has been a long time coming. In some ways, it will feel like a re-emergence — a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with shadows that have sat beneath the surface. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
Uranus will oppose the Sun, adding an unpredictable and spontaneous nature to the lunation. We could see non-issues being blown out of proportion or feel temporarily overwhelmed by something. However, learning to relinquish what you don’t have control over will help. This energy asks that you maintain a big-picture perspective and not get caught up in the moment. Some of you may see an unexpected gift, resource, debt, or bonus pop up now.
Use this Full Moon to break bad habits. Shine a light on the shadows in your life and face your fears. Open up about things more intimately with people you trust and allow others to more deeply support you. Reframe your financial picture and focus on ways to alleviate a scarcity mindset. Even as the material resources may ebb and flow, there will be plenty of opportunity for a fresh start. Reclaim your power. This is only the beginning.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
The focus on “me” vs “we” has been very prevalent lately. 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.
Now, a Full Moon enters your 7th House. You will likely see dynamics shift between you and someone you are close with. Some of you may dissolve broken or irreparable relationships, while others will get closer — forming impenetrable bonds. You are seeing the value in the give and take and understanding your boundaries in a new way. If you are seeking out a new relationship, it is likely you will find it. Alternatively, the relationship you’re working on could be one with yourself. Sometimes we think that we need to find “wholeness” through others and forget that we are whole on our own. So, consider this Full Moon an exploration of what you need, deserve, and desire. Understanding your boundaries and seeing how you fit into the picture will be pertinent. With the Moon in Scorpio, it seems that sharing a part of your life with others can lead to greater intimacy. Find even just a few people you trust and open up. Receptivity is huge now.
Uranus will oppose the Sun. This may make things feel electric or slightly chaotic. However, you are no stranger to this energy given that it has been opposite your sign for the last several years. Uranus is unpredictable and acts as a wildcard, so you may find that people around you are acting out of character or more impulsively. Try not to get swept up in all of it. This is just a temporary aspect. Positively, it could bring unexpected people into (or back into) your life.
Use this Full Moon to focus on the others in your life. Figure out the dynamics and how you show up to your relationships — and how the other people show up for you, too. This is all about the two-way street. You could have to make decisions or find a conclusion. Create boundaries where necessary and allow for the right relationships to flourish for you. You are on the brink of so much change.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Knowing your limits can be important. This month you are being tasked with closing doors, learning to be better to your body, and focusing on the things in your immediate present. You will be taught the value of your needs and the difference between service/sacrifice. We can’t save everyone, or really anyone, other than ourselves.
This Full Moon falls in your 6th House. Here, you are told to prioritize your well-being more. Your health, work, daily life, and routines all fall in this area of your chart. You may have seen major changes in this more mundane setting, yet you may not have realized how impactful the small shifts have been. This Full Moon opens a door of opportunity for you (or even several), where you can take more risks with work, find better solutions for your health, and retake control of your life. Consider this a chance to organize the chaos. You are settling into new routines, so be mindful of what you begin. You can kick old habits and start new exercise regimens. The call is to bring your physical self to the forefront. Alternatively, some of you may see the Full Moon manifest through your work environment with co-workers, your job tasks, or even the job itself. If your job is pushed out, then know that something similar is coming along. If not, then perhaps there are ways to update your work/life balance.
Take time to carve out some solitude and try not to overload your schedule. Value your peace. Uranus will oppose the Sun adding some thunderbolts or making waves. You could feel pulled between responsibility and your rest. Perhaps you are finding things to be a bit overwhelming or your body is reacting to the stress you are under. Uranus has been revolutionizing how you approach work, health, and your daily routines. Consider this another opportunity to engage in that revolution or change. Allow whatever comes up to be a motivator, not an inhibitor. If you have been meaning to get some professional care, definitely reach out and make the appointment to jumpstart a better wellness regimen.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your health and body. Take control of the details and mind the little things. Create better boundaries with work and cultivate a work/life balance. Seek a job change or shift in responsibilities if you are not happy with what you are doing. Find new clients if you work for yourself and implement new routines.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
It is time to restore your sense of optimism! This Full Moon comes in to remind you that life can be fun and playful! In the last year, you have learned the value of personal joy and collective happiness. Now, as this lunation ushers in a new pathway, you can walk forward in a more focused manner.
The Full Moon will highlight the area of your chart that rules play, joy, happiness, pleasure, love, and creation. This is about leading with your heart, listening to that inner child, and making time for more fun in your life. This is very welcome. This lunation reminds us that life is something to experience. You can manifest your heart’s desires into reality, simply by taking more risks on yourself. What makes you happy? What do you love? This is a time to explore new ways to play and seek out pleasure. Let loose. Because this is a place of creation, some of you may be creating something entirely new: a project, art, music, relationship, or even the conception of a child. Alternatively, consider this lunation a chance for you to sit in the spotlight a bit. It is okay to be recognized for your efforts and to celebrate your successes.
Take a risk and show your true colors to those that you consider being your friends and loved ones. Uranus will oppose the Sun. This adds some whimsy and excitement now. 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. Positively, this can be a very inspiring creative time for you! So lean into this aspect.
Use this Full Moon to play, create and get in touch with your inner child. Repair the relationship with your self-image and feel more confident in how you express yourself. Open your heart up and show people what you are made of. Take new risks and really put yourself out there. This is a time to be seen and take up room like you never have before. You are worthy of this.
Aquarius & Aquarius 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). You are rediscovering your inner sanctum and establishing a new home base.
The 4th House rules family, home, roots, and your emotional foundations. Here, the Full Moon will turn your attention to these areas. Perhaps you are looking to do some work around the house — renovations or redecorating. Maybe you are just on a house hunt overall, looking for new places to call home. Some of you may be finding more quiet time or family time, while seeking solitude after a busy few months. Whatever it is, you are bringing it all back to your center. Home is where the heart is. Family could take a central focus as there may be changing dynamics in this area of your life. Over the last year or so, you have been redefining what family truly is, or means to you. You have been putting down stronger roots and really focusing on your emotional well-being. This Full Moon tells you all of that work has a purpose. You can rejoice in the power you have called back and honor the peace you have created. This may be one of the best times of the year for you to connect with your ancestors, inner foundations, and emotional desires as well. If you want to buy, sell, or rent — this lunation can be quite helpful!
With Uranus opposite the Sun, you may feel pulled in two directions. There may be surprises that pop up, and in turn, this could electrify things. Perhaps shifting your home/family dynamics (is there a new member coming, or is your family unit restructuring/changing?). You may feel the need to nest or ground yourself. This is a call to withdraw a bit. This opposition 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.
Use this Full Moon to bring it all back home. Spend time with your family. Redecorate or reorganize your home. Prepare yourself for a move or a change in the home/family front. Focus on your emotional well-being and tend to places where you feel more vulnerable. Create stability in the quiet and make time for personal reflection. You redefine your peace and carve out space for you to process how you feel. Your foundations are changing.
Pisces & Pisces 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.
The Full Moon in your 3rd House allows you to learn, adapt, process, and integrate. This is about how you communicate not only what you are saying — but also what you are hearing. Part of shifting your perspective comes through dialogue and the conversations that you have with others. Your voice is your power. Now, it is time to learn how to use it. Through the 3rd House, we learn to express ourselves and say what is on our minds. Sharing is an integral part of your personal exploration — and how you choose to share is important. There can be a feeling of people inundating you with messages around the Full Moon. Perhaps you may hear news that you were not expecting. You can start a new journey for yourself by applying the skills you have in new ways. Your local community will figure strongly, especially those close to you. They are here to uplift you and support you, but they won’t know what you need unless you tell them. Asking for help isn’t weak – especially if it is meant to help you grow.
Uranus will oppose the Sun. So, it seems that you may get unexpected news that shakes you up a bit. There may be information that comes out that 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. Alternatively, 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.
Use this Full Moon to work on your dialogue. Use your voice as a tool for change and growth. Speak up and talk about what is happening below the surface. Establish strong relationships with those you trust and take a leap of faith on the things you believe in. Discern anxiety vs intuition and find peace in knowing you are still working toward what you want — even if it feels unclear. Perfection is unfolding. Right now, you have to address today to get to tomorrow.
Scorpio New Moon Miniscopes
Scorpio New
Moon Miniscopes
Reclaiming Power.
The New Moon falls at 9º Scorpio, 8:47 AM ET on November 1st.
The Moon turns dark during this phase, but it is still felt in its influence and power. New Moons can signal a time of renewal, rebirth, and a fresh start, but when in Scorpio, the start comes from the decay of what has fallen before it. There is a component of release, loss, or letting go. A reminder that death is a door – not an ending, but a beginning.
We walk through the valley of the shadows and feel pulled by the Moon and Sun in their embrace. Together, they show us the way with little light – a call to trust our inner knowing. We descend the depths of our own humanity to uncover the pieces of ourselves that have long been hidden. Secrets come out and information rises to the surface.
The barriers that once felt impenetrable are cracked and broken like sheets of ice, exposing the rushing rivers that lie beneath. New Moons in Scorpio can feel empowering. They can act as a conduit or an ignition. The fire is relit and it lights the way in the darkness.
This Scorpio lunation comes with an incredible trine to Saturn. This gives a sense of stability and focus to this New Moon. Mars leads the lunation. Mars is temporarily finishing its time in Cancer, carrying passion with it. It welcomes a chance for us to bring our needs, excitement, expression, and energy together. There is an element of calling back power in this energy as we prepare for the upcoming retrograde, especially as Mars creates a trine to Neptune and opposes Pluto. Part of calling on this power requires us to also call on our fears – to name them, hold them, and no longer allow them to control us.
Mercury will oppose Uranus. Uranus seeks to free us from the stronghold of the Fixed power of Taurus, the sign in which it resides. We are asked to take a leap of faith into the unknown and to navigate through the murky waters of Scorpio to find the truth that remains to be seen. Uranus will surprise us, bringing awareness to what we didn’t know, and shaking things up in our material world.
We may be reaching for any sort of stability, but we are not on solid ground. The Sun and Moon require a descent. We have to dig our roots down deeper before we can reach equilibrium. Cycles are meant to be broken and bad habits are meant to come to a close at this New Moon. To truly give yourself a fresh start, you have to first be willing to unchain yourself from the confines of your comforts.
Venus finds itself reaching out to Jupiter. Here we find words for what we’ve been feeling and use dialogue as a means of reconnecting. Venus/Jupiter transits can help us with workarounds, solve abstract problems, and give us the perseverance to see things through to the end. There are creative solutions that need to be explored. Maybe we aren’t fully aware of it yet, but it will come when we least expect it.
A balance of life and death is restored. What we leave behind will decay into the earth and nourish it once again. It will give love to our roots, and once Spring calls to us, we will see that our petals will bloom brighter than ever.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 4º to 14, 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
It is time to rely on those you trust intimately. This New Moon is very healing for you and can bring you close to a partner or friend. Now is the time to share your resources, your fears, your desires, and your motivations. Your 8th House is being activated, so nothing is off-limits.
The New Moon in your 8th House, opening doors for resources that have been untapped or previously hidden. This could be emotional or material. Some of you may find out about an unexpected gain, whether through you or a partner, perhaps an inheritance, or some sort of windfall — especially with Uranus being so prevalent. Alternatively, you may find that you are working toward paying off debts and feeling more secure — that you don’t owe anything to anyone. This could also apply to how you feel about emotional debts, almost washing your hands of old situations or people that no longer serve you. This New Moon may also bring about a transformation. One that has been a long time coming. In some ways, it will feel like a re-emergence — a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with shadows that have sat beneath the surface. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
Mars, the leader of this New Moon, will bring a lot of energy to this lunation as it harmonizes with Neptune and opposes Pluto. Its influence allows for motivation and action. Mars will help us persevere and turn concepts into actionable steps. The Mars/Pluto opposition may make us a bit more intense or feel chaotic in general. However, it can be extremely inspiring and awake deep desires within us, pushing us out of stagnation. You could end up rerouting yourself or your plans in a way that leaves you feeling more refreshed in the end. Neptune does trine Mars, helping to bring dreams to life if we are willing to not control so much.
Use this New Moon to reflect on your growth and how you have transformed in the last year. Seek new resources. Get intimate with a partner or close relationship — even yourself. Focus on the power you hold personally, finding new ways of sharing who you are. Explore your depths, take hold of your fears, and no longer be held back by cyclic patterns that keep you trapped. This is about seeing new pathways that had once been hidden from view. You hold the keys.
Taurus & Taurus 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.

With the Moon in Scorpio, it seems that sharing a part of your life with others can lead to greater intimacy. Find even just a few people you trust and open up. Receptivity is huge now.
Mars will make things move quickly around this New Moon. It trines Neptune and opposes Pluto. There can be a desire to add more value, adventure, and/or passion to the relationships you hold closely. Mars is the ruler of this New Moon, and you will feel its impact quite strongly. Of course, the fire that Mars can spark may also become out of control if we aren’t careful, especially as Pluto opposes it. This adds false urgency, power struggles, and deep energy to the lunation. You could find that action is hard to take now. Try to slow down. Be intentional and not get swept away by the buzzing feeling. It can inspire you but don’t misstep in the process of trying to actually make a progressive forward leap.
Use this New Moon to focus on your boundaries. Understand the roles that you play in others’ lives and what they play in yours. See where you can receive and know what you have to give. Form new relationships and work through old ones that don’t support you. Seek out ways to create a better relationship with yourself above all else. Nothing will ever be as solid as the love you can give to yourself.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Knowing your limits can be important. This month you are being tasked with closing doors, learning to be better to your body, and focusing on the things in your immediate present. You will be taught the value of your needs and the difference between service/sacrifice. We can’t save everyone, or really anyone, other than ourselves.
This New Moon falls in your 6th House. Here, you are told to prioritize your well-being more. Your health, work, daily life, and routines all fall in this area of your chart. You may have seen major changes in this more mundane setting, yet you may not have realized how impactful the small shifts have been. This New Moon opens a door of opportunity for you (or even several), where you can take more risks with work, find better solutions for your health, and retake control of your life. Consider this a chance to organize the chaos. You are settling into new routines, so be mindful of what you begin. You can kick old habits and start new exercise regimens. The call is to bring your physical self to the forefront. Alternatively, some of you may see the New Moon manifest through your work environment with co-workers, your job tasks, or even the job itself. If your job is pushed out, then know that something similar is coming along. If not, then perhaps there are ways to update your work/life balance.
Mars will be a conduit at this lunation. It trines Neptune and opposes Pluto. It energizes anything that may come up resource-wise — almost like a swift bit of motivation to get things going. There is a sense that valuing your time, energy, and space should take precendence. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you. Pluto will oppose Mars, creating some intensity and depth now. You may feel a bit overwhelmed, overworked, or just a bit directionless. Pluto is an quiet force. Be careful of over-scheduling yourself and know your limits. Alternatively, Pluto could be a driving force of inspiration like Mars, but may make you act out of character or too soon without giving anything much thought. Take time to think before acting now. Not everything is as urgent as it seems.
Use this New Moon to bring everything together. See how the small things in your life impact everything else. Pay attention to your body and work on making amends for how you may have abused it in the past. Work on getting healthier — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Look for opportunities for growth in your work, daily life, and routines. Be flexible. See that perfection is not the goal — the process teaches us more than the outcome. Work on taking care of yourself.

It is time to restore your sense of optimism! This New Moon comes in to remind you that life can be fun and playful! In the last year, you have learned the value of personal joy and collective happiness. Now, as this lunation ushers in a new pathway, you can walk forward in a more focused manner.
The New Moon will highlight the area of your chart that rules play, joy, happiness, pleasure, love, and creation — the 5th House. This is about leading with your heart, listening to that inner child, and making time for more fun in your life. This is very welcome. This lunation reminds us that life is something to experience. You can manifest your heart’s desires into reality, simply by taking more risks on yourself. What makes you happy? What do you love? This is a time to explore new ways to play and seek out pleasure. Let loose. Because this is a place of creation, some of you may be creating something entirely new: a project, art, music, relationship, or even the conception of a child. Alternatively, consider this lunation a chance for you to sit in the spotlight a bit. It is okay to be recognized for your efforts and to celebrate your successes.
Mars will add passion and fire to this lunation. It trines Neptune and opposes Pluto. It will bring a level of attraction and magnetism to you. Your creativity is heightened, so share your gifts with others. Don’t shy away from a chance to express yourself. Pluto will oppose Mars, so you could have a healing and needed conversation with someone close to you! Alternatively, you could be swept up in others’ narratives of you that lead you to take action or act differently. Whatever it is, there is something new brewing. So take a second to slow down and reflect before leaping. The leap can be good and yield some greater opportunities or results, but jumping before you are ready can leave you feeling unsafe or disoriented. Pluto is intense, so there is no shortage of excitement or buzzing now.
Use this New Moon to find new ways to have fun. Follow your heart more and listen to your inner child. Seek new ways to engage in pleasure and creativity. Let loose. If you are looking to conceive (a child, a project or anything), let this New Moon be the thing that pushes you to start or get more focused on it. Anything that pulls at your heart will be favored. So really get in touch with what you desire most.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
This New 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). You are rediscovering your inner sanctum and establishing a new home base.
The 4th House rules family, home, roots, and your emotional foundations. Here, the New Moon will turn your attention to these areas. Perhaps you are looking to do some work around the house — renovations or redecorating. Maybe you are just on a house hunt overall, looking for new places to call home. Some of you may be finding more quiet time or family time, while seeking solitude after a busy few months. Whatever it is, you are bringing it all back to your center. Home is where the heart is. Family could take a central focus as there may be changing dynamics in this area of your life. Over the last year or so, you have been redefining what family truly is, or means to you. You have been putting down stronger roots and really focusing on your emotional well-being. This New Moon tells you all of that work has a purpose. You can rejoice in the power you have called back and honor the peace you have created. This may be one of the best times of the year for you to connect with your ancestors, inner foundations, and emotional desires as well. If you want to buy, sell, or rent — this lunation can be quite helpful!
Mars will energize this lunation. It trines Neptune and opposes Pluto. You are valuing your well being more and willing to go the lengths to ensure it is protected. Your health and sense of rest are something you are not willing to compromise. You may be embarking on a bigger journey that course corrects you or puts you on a different path than you have imagined. This is especially true as Pluto opposes Mars. You may be feeling a bit overwhelmed or like you need a break, perhaps you may also feel like you are biting off more than you can chew. Almost as if things are moving so fast, and you can’t slow them down. However, this energy can support big leaps of faith and the finality of a situation that feels like it has been ongoing. You may not have all the answers, but in some ways, you don’t need to. Some of you could be feeling pulled between priorities with work and home. If that is the case, know that this is temporary and clarity will come in the days after this New Moon.
Use this New Moon to settle in and come back to the center. Focus on your roots and your family. Find security in your emotional foundations and create a sanctuary for yourself. Find peace in the quiet. Work on things around the house and spruce up your space. If you want to move, this New Moon could give you the boost you need to find the right place! It is all coming together now.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but never enough time taking care of yourself. This New 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.
The New Moon in your 3rd House allows you to learn, adapt, process, and integrate. This is about how you communicate not only what you are saying — but also what you are hearing. Part of shifting your perspective comes through dialogue and the conversations that you have with others. Your voice is your power. Now, it is time to learn how to use it. Through the 3rd House, we learn to express ourselves and say what is on our minds. Sharing is an integral part of your personal exploration — and how you choose to share is important. There can be a feeling of people inundating you with messages around the New Moon. Perhaps you may hear news that you were not expecting. You can start a new journey for yourself by applying the skills you have in new ways. Your local community will figure strongly, especially those close to you. They are here to uplift you and support you, but they won’t know what you need unless you tell them. Asking for help isn’t weak – especially if it is meant to help you grow.
Mars will add passion to this lunation. It rules this New Moon. Here it gives you a strong decisive mindset and a gift for speaking more directly and honestly. You are being heard right now and people are listening to every word you say. You may be more motivated to share than normal, too. With Mars and Pluto opposite, you could also be afraid of how you are being preceived by those in your inner circle. This could lead to some conflict or overreactions. Additionally, it may make you jump the gun and decide on something without having all the information in front of you. Of course, this may not be the case entirely, but knowing that the possibility is there means slowing down and exercising your innate thoughtfulness. One last way this could manifest is just through being incredibly busy or people reaching out to you left and right. This may have you feeling excited but maybe overwhelmed with so much happening around you — even if it isn’t impacting you directly. You don’t have to always have the answers nor are people always looking for them either. Just focus on what is right in front of you to find calm in the chaos.
Use this New Moon to speak your magic into the world. Communication is key, and your words hold more power than they have in a long time. Don’t be afraid to tell others what you are thinking, but also be open to what they have to say. Create important dialogue and have those tough conversations. Be flexible and adapt to the ever-changing tides in life. You are being asked to integrate your experiences and open yourself up to new possibilities.
Libra & Libra Rising
Libra now is the time to flex your skills and stand your ground. This New Moon will have your mind on resources, self-worth, and value. You can help to get yourself in a good position. But be your own advocate.
This New Moon is in your 2nd House, so your focus can be turned toward resources. Are you valued for your work? What is your compensation like, even outside of income? Some of you may be looking for a raise, promotion, or change to your financial picture. Others of you may thinking about how to use the resources you have differently (tangible or otherwise). Use this New Moon to push that forward for you. The Moon is in Scorpio, so it make ask that you dig deeper to find the right solution to whatever problem may arise! Remain grounded in your approach, but charge ahead knowing that you can grow an abundant garden from all that you decide to plant. There is a major theme around personal value that creeps up. You need to see yourself differently — own every facet of your talents and your experience. You are valuable. You are worthy. Not because someone says you are or because of what you have, but just simply because you exist.
Mars will supercharge this New Moon. It is the ruler of the lunation. Here it gives you a stronger opportunity for earning potential and living more abundantly overall. Mars is gifting you a dynamic edge while showcasing your worth. Visibility is strong for you as Mars tours your 10th House. Know that your efforts are not going unnoticed now. This energy also supports fighting for what you believe in and supporting your morals, ethics, and values. Pluto will oppose Mars, adding an intense and deep nature to the lunation. We could see non-issues being blown out of proportion or feel temporarily overwhelmed by something. However, learning to relinquish what you don’t have control over will help. This energy asks that you maintain a big-picture perspective and not get caught up in the moment. You may see that a family member is creating more tension in your life than you gave attention to before. It seems that a potential disappointment of family could hold more weight, but moving through this disappointment will bring more joy and success in your life.
Use this New Moon to focus on the ground you stand on. What do you value? When was the last time you showed yourself respect? Seek out ways to show yourself that you can rely on yourself. Build a greater space for personal security and understand the value of owning every aspect of your humanity. Find new resources and open up doors for working through financial stress and abundance. There’s no scarcity in the world you have created for yourself now.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Scorpio, there is a New Moon in your sign! This is important and points to the Full Moon we experienced in your sign earlier this year. Think back to what you started around then and how you are carrying a similar theme. Perhaps you are ready to start a new cycle for yourself or pieces are starting to come together!
This lunation falls in your 1st House, bringing you back to your place in this world. Who are you? What do you want? You have been dealing with eclipses in your sign the last few years and oppositions from Uranus, so you may have been shedding old skin in order to release what isn’t working for you. This New Moon will give you a chance to find what WILL work for you. You get to decide how you live your life and make strides in building a new you. Now is the time to be unapologetically yourself. Celebrate your individuality. Take pride in where you are right now. It is time to call back your power!
Mars rules this New Moon, bringing heat and energy to this lunation. It is in Cancer, working harmoniously with your sign. Mars will make you feel appreciated and empowered, and see the value self-expression. Definitely buy yourself a little something special, take a bit of a risk, and/or do something new or unexpected. Mars is giving you a ton of energy to support you through this time. Mars will oppose Pluto, and trine Neptune. This may make things feel more intense or slightly chaotic. However, you are no stranger to this energy given that Pluto is the modern ruler of your sign. Pluto is quiet and acts as a transformer, so you may find that people around you are acting out of character or more impulsively. Try not to get swept up in all of it. This is just a temporary aspect. Positively, it could bring increidbly important people into (or back into) your life.
Use this New Moon to focus on yourself. Work on discovering new pieces of your identity and releasing parts of you that no longer serve you. Be fueled by your desires and passions, and run with your ideas. Motivation is key. You can make anything you want come to fruition, especially as the doors swing open just for you. Stand in your power. Embrace the spotlight. Own every facet of your being. This is a fresh start!
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius 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 and Moon align in your 12th House. There are important endings afoot now.
This New Moon is perfectly positioned in your 12th House, so right now is a time to find a balance in work, pleasure, play, and rest. Work quietly behind the scenes and slow down. You are turning inward and focused on preserving your energy. You know you will be expending a lot of it soon. The 12th House can bring insights that we were not privy to before. So, you may discover information that was hidden from view. Now is a time to listen to your intuition and focus on how to best navigate quietly. If you need a respite, take it! Additionally, this area of your chart is about following your intuition and trusting the unseen. Listen to your inner magic. Some doors may close for you, but new ones will soon open.
Mars is adding fire and energy to this New Moon. It is the ruler of the lunation. Mars asks to protect your personal peace and focus on your healing. There is a call to respite and breaking cycles. Take time to carve out some solitude and try not to overload your schedule. Value your peace. Mars will oppose Pluto, making some waves. You could feel pulled between what you have and what you share. Perhaps you are finding things to be a bit overwhelming or your body is reacting to the stress you are under. Pluto has been churning how you approach your resources, worth, and value. Consider this another opportunity to engage in that change or transformation. Allow whatever comes up to be a motivator, not an inhibitor. If you have been meaning to get some professional care, definitely reach out and make the appointment to jumpstart a better wellness regimen.
Use this New Moon to withdraw a bit where you can. Find more peace in everyday life — including work/life balance. Take time to rest and recharge. Tie up loose ends and close doors that need to be shut. Re-engage with yourself, replenish your energy, and enjoy downtime (by creating it). Listen to your intuition more and record your dreams. This is an opportunity for you to truly let go and open yourself up to something greater.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
I know you don’t always like to ask for help, but this New 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.
With this lunation hanging out in your 11th House, you will be looking at your connections and friends as a way to help you move ahead. You may even just want to catch up with people, feeling a little more social than normal. The Moon will be subconsciously drawing you out more. You are realizing that community is becoming increasingly important to you, and you may be trying to find where you want to align yourself. Budding friendships become lasting ones, and old friends are showing up left and right. Bask in this! People are showing you love, and you deserve that. Support seems like magic. You are recognizing that you can’t do things alone. You need others. Co-create. Collaborate. Connect!
Mars is boosting the energy levels at this New Moon. It is the ruler. Mars is bringing the passion and the drive. It will have the right people around you and help you ease your fears of sharing. There is value in your close relationships. Take a risk and show your true colors to those closest to you. Mars and Pluto will oppose. This adds some intensity and transformations now. You could feel that your confidence is shaky or that you are not expressing how you feel correctly. Pluto is finishing its time in your sign, helping 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. Positively, this can be a very inspiring creative time for you! So lean into this aspect.
Use this New Moon to call on your community. Ask for support where necessary and seek out new methods of networking. Focus on your friendships and nurture the ones that prove to strengthen you. Look at your goals, your future, and your hopes. What do you want out of the next five years? Three years? Who can help you get there? How can you make this happen? These are questions to reflect on — just remember to not let your dreams die. Keep the faith alive.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
You have been working hard lately. This New 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. Your mind will be on work and your goals in the coming year. This is the start of something new!
This New Moon will bring you to new heights! It falls in your 10th House, so you have the chance to plant seeds in your career or make important moves in your life. You are becoming more aware of your direction and what you want! With the Moon in Scorpio, you are asked to recognize what is most important to you. You will have to dig a little deeper to discover what you truly want. Nothing you are doing is in vain. The right people are taking notice. If you do change jobs or careers, you may find that the work you want to do will be something completely different or distinct. Perhaps that is the change you want, too! Alternatively, some of you may make discoveries about your passions that drive you into a new field or up the ladder into a new role/position. Whatever it is, a career or work-related matter seems to be at the forefront of your mind.
Mars is empowering you at this lunation. It is the ruler of the lunation. Mars can bring in work opportunities or even just schedule changes. It will give you magnetism and help you feel confident in how you approach those in your daily life. There is value in your reputation that you need to be more aware of. With Mars opposite Pluto, you may feel pulled in two directions. There may be intense situations that pop up, and in turn, this could electrify things. Perhaps shifting your relationship with responsibilty or how you care for your well-being. You may feel to dramatically take control of your health. This is a call to take ownership. This opposition 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.
Use this New Moon to focus on your career and your life direction. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Be noticed and seek opportunities that make you more visible. Call the shots and show your leadership qualities. Strive for new goals and scale even higher mountains. Enjoy the fruits of your labour and relish in your successes. See the power within you and let that be what pushes you into the next phase of your life. You are moving toward such great heights.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
You are reaching new heights! You have recently taken a leap of faith, and you know that there is no way you can go back now! Doors of opportunity open and possibility awaits — a portal into something new. It is time to grow, grow, grow! You are being asked to expand past your current limitations. Whatever your goal is, now is the time to make sure you are fully aligned with it.
With this New Moon in your 9th House, you are actively growing and trying new things! You are taking the experiences you have had and applying them future-forward. Now is a time to be bold and optimistic about the journey that lies ahead. The Moon will make sure that you are grounded in your approach while remaining open to the beautiful changes that life can bring! Flexible structures. Here, you will see that your world is shifting. The 9th House is about limitless potential. You realize the world truly is your oyster in this realm, and you can make what you want out of it. You will likely see your goals more clearly than you have in a long time and thus change your priorities in achieving them. Nothing is too far out of reach. All it takes is a little faith.
Mars is in a fellow Water sign, energizing you at this New Moon. It is the ruler of the lunation. Mars reminds you of the excitement of taking a chance on yourself. It tells you that you are worthy of believing in. Creative experiences will be wonderful. This will be a time when you will feel passion reignite. However, Mars will oppose Pluto. So, it seems that there is some intensity that shakes you up a bit. There may be a need to view your future a bit differently now. Perhaps the ways in which you normally wouldn’t ask for what you need has to change. In some ways you may feel you lack support, but maybe you have not asked for it. This can add more tension within you as you find the right words. Please know, the future that is unfolding before you is one that will be more inspiring — even if you can’t see it. Pluto is evolutionary, so it is hard to know how it will manifest in your life completely. One of the best ways Pluto can show up is through inspiring community in your 11th House. Pluto may push you to outside your comfort zone — perhaps in ways you had not considered before. Don’t say no to outcomes you have yet to realize.
Use this New Moon to explore new places — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Challenge your perspective, open your mind, and reach beyond current limitations. Seek help to achieve your goals and put yourself out there to gain notoriety. There is so much happening around you. If you feel confused, take a step back and pull yourself out of the details. See the big picture and soon, you will know which path to take.
Aries Full Moon Miniscopes
Aries Full
Moon Miniscopes
Forming Fire.
The Full Moon falls at 24º Aries, 7:26 AM ET on October 17th. And so eclipse season comes to a close.
New and Full Moons carry themes from one to the other within every astrological season and beyond. They play on what the other is saying and work in tandem to create an overarching story. This Full Moon in Aries continues the conversation from the eclipses in Aries and Libra. The viewpoint is more direct and less passive. We have finished eclipse season and now we are in a place of rediscovering direction. What was internalized now comes out into the open. There is less reflection – and more action.
This is perfectly timed, as we are looking to the expanded story of Libra Season. We have established our bonds... But who are we within those unions? The Aries energy of this Full Moon requires us to know where we as individuals end, and another begins. We must not only see how we fit together but what drives us individually. A relationship requires two individuals to come together to work toward a common goal. Thus, we maintain autonomy in the process, but we don’t stop supporting each other. We are now asked to see what lights our fires and brings passion into our lives.
Mars is the leader of this Full Moon, and it finds itself in an important position. Mars is forming a square to Full Moon, creating some tension between these cosmic powerhouses. There is a sense that we need to align our values and our morals with our intended actions. Simultaneously, Mars activating the Sun and Moon will speak to a habit that needs to end. Perhaps we are in a space where we desire closure or to move on from what was as we navigate uncharted territory. Sometimes, letting go can be freeing and motivating. Mars is slower than normal now, as it prepares to retrograde in December. Whatever we see occur now will play out in a bigger way over the next many months. Mars loves seeing things completed and paving new pathways. The Mars Rx later this year will do just that for us.
Venus and Jupiter have some power over this Full Moon. Venus is reaching out lovingly to Neptune and Pluto in a trine and sextile. This harmony is something that we can welcome. We may feel a depth that can’t be explained, but there is beauty in it. Almost as if there is an acceptance of things as they are and making them the best they can be. Jupiter will support the Full Moon through a sextile and bring the expansive energy of the planet to new insights and inspiration. Its influence bridges the gaps and helps us recognize what is truly important in the big picture. Anything that may arise is for a greater outcome in the end. In some ways, this is a hero’s journey and the understanding of our growth on that journey.
Direction is the word I would put on this Full Moon. With the Moon’s transit through Aries, we are asked to find our next steps, our next direction. If we are feeling stuck, uneasy, or uncertain, making moves will create the change of pace that we may seek. Some things are worth fighting for, and Aries never backs down from a challenge.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 20º to 29º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
NOTE: Due to my travels, these miniscopes are written by Aubrey Houdeshell. I have still written the introduction above, but the sign-by-sign breakdown is by Aubrey. Please enjoy this generous offer and to learn more about Aubrey, head to the bottom of the page!
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
For the past year and a half, the New and Full Moons in Aries have been accompanied by an eclipse, asking you relentlessly for growth, evolution, and change. So perhaps this lunation comes as a bit of a relief, as it is the first Full Moon in Aries without an eclipse attached. The Full Moon comes through to light up your first house, making now your time to shine. The North Node has been transiting this area of your chart for over a year now, too, placing a strong, positive influence on your identity, beliefs, and appearance. Perhaps now you feel ready to embody this new version of yourself, and to share it a bit louder and more proudly than before. Perhaps there are even more layers of yourself that you are ready to shed in order to allow a more authentic version of yourself to shine through. This is the moment to embrace all that you are, and to feel good about it!
The leader of this moon is Mars, your ruling planet, who is hanging out in your fourth house in Cancer. Perhaps your family and/or home life feels especially busy or important now. There may be an opportunity for you to truly nurture your most private, intimate areas, as Mars asks you to take action here. Mars also happens to be opposite Pluto in your tenth house, at 29 degrees Capricorn. This opposition brings focus to both the most private area in your chart, and the most visible, placing an emphasis on work/life balance. It’s possible they have felt at odds with one another lately, especially with Pluto asking you to close out a long-standing era in some way.
Luckily though, Venus in Scorpio - also at 29 degrees - comes through to offer support to both Mars and Pluto from your eighth house. Remember that the eighth house is the house of shared resources: perhaps there is someone around who can help you take a few things off of your plate, or at least offer up some kind of support at this time. Don’t be afraid to reach out to your dear ones! They will be happy to show up for you right now.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
This Full Moon is illuminating your twelfth house Taurus, a place that normally exists behind a veil of obscurity, completely in the dark. You may feel a bit withdrawn or low energy underneath the Full Moon, which are typical feelings whenever the Moon is transiting our 12th houses. Thanks to the light of the moon, there may be things rising to the surface of your conscious awareness that feel uncomfortable, perhaps pointing to something you thought you’d moved on from, but is becoming clear you haven’t. As the parts of yourself that normally exist in the shadows are dragged out into the light of the moon, give yourself some solitude and quiet time to process whatever is coming up. Remember that Full Moons are release points, so give yourself permission to let go a little more now.
Mars, the leader of this Full Moon, is hanging out in your third house, opposite Pluto in Capricorn in your ninth house, at 29 degrees Capricorn. This opposition is asking you for a change in perspective. What action can you take now to further foster releasing the past? How does letting go make room for greater expansion and growth? What new opportunities are ready to bloom now that they have room to? One of the lessons of the twelfth house is that we have to let things go in order to make room for new things to expand. Change is no easy task for Taurus placements, it’s true, but I want to challenge you to view endings as opportunities for better things to come in, rather than something bad.
Venus, who is at the final degree of Scorpio in your seventh house of partnerships, is harmonizing with both Mars and Pluto, bringing some tenderness and ease to fully embrace this new perspective. You might also benefit from sharing what you’re going through with a loved one at this time. Let them be there for you during this time of transition.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Community is the name of the game underneath this Full Moon, Gemini, as the Moon is illuminating your eleventh house. This area has been a huge focus since last July, when the North Node in Aries first began transiting here. As the moon lights up this area of your chart, this is a moment to reflect on how your community has changed over the past fifteen months. Who is still around? Who have you welcomed in? Which communities are you immersed in?
Because the eleventh house also rules over the future and our hopes and dreams, this is a great opportunity to dream bigger about your life. Where would you like to be in the next five years? Connecting with those around you could also be helpful to bounce ideas around and flesh out what you really want from life moving forward.
Mars leads this lunation from your second house of personal resources, opposite Pluto in your eighth house of shared resources. Pluto in Capricorn and Venus in Scorpio sit at the final degree of their respective signs, offering up an important lesson around depth and reciprocity in your various relationships. Who is truly there for you? Who are you truly there for? Where and how and with whom are your resources tied up?
With Venus offering its support from your sixth house, this is an important moment to reflect on your real, everyday life, and who you spend your time with. The role of reciprocity and balance in relationships during this lunation cannot be overstated. This is a moment to take stock of how you show up, as well as who is showing up for you. Spend time with those who fill your cup for real.

Your career may be playing an important role at this time, Cancer, as the Full Moon in Aries moves through your tenth house, illuminating your reputation and calling your purpose to the forefront of your mind. These have been important themes for the past while now, as the transiting North Node in Aries has helped to expand and boost this area of your life. With the Full Moon shining its light on the most visible area of your chart, this is a moment to take stock of everything that has transpired in your career since last July, and if there’s anything left that you are ready to let go of in order to move into greater authenticity and authority.
Mars is leading this Full Moon from your first house, while opposing Pluto at the final degree of Capricorn in your seventh, highlighting the relationship axis. Indeed, relationships may be playing an especially important role right now - especially business partnerships. You may be in high demand, or you might just have a lot going on right now in general. With Pluto in its final moments of Capricorn, you are closing out a decade and a half-long chapter where all of your important, intimate relationships are concerned. Taking a moment to reflect on what has changed in this area since 2008 could offer up some much-needed perspective.
Meanwhile, Venus in Scorpio, also at the final degree, comes in to offer support and ease through this final moment of transformation. While Venus finds its joy in your fifth house of romance and creativity, perhaps you can approach your love life with new eyes. Venus in Scorpio is intimately familiar with the process of transformation that relationships can ignite, but don’t forget that healing and a greater potential for love, nurturing, and intimacy lie on the other side of transformation.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
The Full Moon in Aries is lighting up your ninth house, Leo, emphasizing the bigger trajectory of your life. This has been a big focus for you for over a year now, as the North Node in Aries has been transiting this space, asking you about what you believe in, and where your life is headed. As the moon illuminates this space, you may find yourself reflecting on those themes, seeking further answers or stimulation from a class or workshop or teacher. This is a moment to get back in touch with what your truth is, and to release old beliefs that no longer resonate. What do you place your faith in? Where in your life could you benefit from greater expansion?
Interestingly, Mars in Cancer is leading this Full Moon from your twelfth house of spirituality, connecting beautifully with the search for a greater truth in your ninth house. Opposite Mars is Pluto in its final moment of Capricorn in your sixth house of daily routines and rituals. This dynamic is asking what action you’re taking in your daily life that is supportive of the bigger goals of your life. Are you nurturing your dreams and moving toward your goals, or are you trapped in the daily grind? The Full Moon is asking you to shift your focus towards something higher, to believe in the possibilities and potential of your life.
Venus in Scorpio offers up its support of this journey from your fourth house, harmonizing with Mars, Pluto, and Neptune who is still hanging out in Pisces in your eleventh house of dreams, community, and the future. Spending a bit of time alone to really engage in reflection will be the most beneficial thing now. However, if the opportunity to connect with someone you’re especially close with comes up, you might benefit from sharing your visions with them.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
The Full Moon in Aries lights up your eighth house at this time, Virgo, shining light on a place that normally exists in shadow. The eighth house is a very interesting place, containing things like shared resources, but also death, sex, and transformation. Thanks to the transiting North Node in Aries, you’ve already been grappling with these themes since last July. The light of Full Moon offers up a moment of clarity, and the chance to truly shed some dead weight in order to make room for healing, growth, and rebirth. You may also find yourself reflecting on what and with whom your resources are tied up with, and whether or not you’d like to maintain that connection. Because Full Moons point to release, if there’s a connection you’ve been looking to sever, let this be your permission slip.
Mars, the leader of this Full Moon, is hanging out in Cancer in your eleventh house of community, further highlighting the theme of resources. Because we look at all of our relationships in this house, Mars is inviting you to take stock of who truly supports you, and vice versa. You may find yourself quite active within your community under this Full Moon, nurturing your important relationships. There may be an opportunity for networking at this time, which could bring in some new, supportive avenues.
Meanwhile, Pluto will be opposite Mars, now in its final moments in Capricorn from your fifth house of joy, creativity, and self-expression. This is an area of your life that has undergone significant change since 2008, and is now being highlighted one final time to make sure that you leave room for play, romance, and fun, alongside all of the demands of your relationships.
Venus in Scorpio, also in its final moments in Scorpio, comes through to support this opposition from your third house, while also harmonizing with Neptune in Pisces in your seventh house of committed partnerships. Relationships are truly the name of the game underneath this lunation. Take advantage of this auspicious moment and connect with the important people in your life. There are many gifts available to you right now!
Libra & Libra Rising
Partnerships of all kinds are center stage right now, Libra, with the Full Moon in Aries illuminating your seventh house. But what else is new, am I right? Thanks to the transiting North Node, which is also in Aries, your close relationships have been front and center for a long while now. This Full Moon is an opportunity for you to take stock of your important connections, to assess what you have learned or what has changed over the past fifteen months, and if there’s anything left that needs to shift now. You could benefit greatly from connecting with those close to you, whether a lover, friend, or important business partnership.
Mars in Cancer leads this lunation from your tenth house of career, which may be an especially busy area of life right now. Meanwhile, Pluto, now direct at 29 degrees Capricorn, is opposite Mars down in your fourth house. This opposition is highlighting both the most visible, and the most private areas in your chart, placing an emphasis on work/life balance, and asking you to assess if you have that right now. Remember that Mars in Cancer is asking us to take action around nurturing ourselves. What does that mean to you right now?
Venus, your ruling planet, comes through in its final moments in Scorpio to bring some softness to this opposition from your second house of resources while harmonizing with Neptune in Pisces in your sixth house of health, routines, and your job. Both planets are offering good news for all things career and money-related, but don’t forget those aren’t the only resources available to you. Perhaps this is a moment to lean on others and allow someone to show up for you for once, instead of you always showing up for others. There is plenty of support to be had, you simply have to ask for it.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
The ins and outs of your daily life are likely on your mind during this time, Scorpio, as the Full Moon shines its light on your sixth house of daily rituals, routines, and your job. This area of your life has been a huge focus for you since last July, with the transiting North Node and the ensuing eclipses bringing about lots of change - in a good way! With the Full Moon shining its light upon this area, too, you may find yourself assessing how you’re living your daily life. Does it feel supportive of your health? How are you taking care of your body? Does your everyday life feel fulfilling at this time? Because Full Moons are release points, there may be something about the way you’re living your life that needs to change in the day-to-day. That’s okay - this is a moment to make room for what really matters to you, and what feels authentic.
Mars, your ruling planet, leads this lunation, while hanging out in Cancer in your ninth house of spirituality, travel, and the bigger picture. There may be an opportunity to take a trip of some kind, or perhaps a class or workshop, something to expand your horizons in some way. Take advantage of whatever that is, and use it as a way to get back in touch with what you believe in.
Pluto in Capricorn - at 29 degrees no less - opposes Mars in your third house. The ask here is for a perspective shift. Mars wants you to take action in alignment with your bigger goals and desires, whatever that means, and to align your day-to-day grind with the bigger trajectory of your life. Pluto is emphasizing some kind of transformation in the smaller picture, the details that need to come together to match up with the big picture, as well. How do the two need to come together so the details support the bigger picture and vice versa?
Venus, transiting the final degree of your sign, offers up its support from your first house, while receiving some help from Neptune in Pisces in your fifth house of joy, creativity, and self-expression. Don’t forget to sprinkle in some fun, beauty, and pleasure when considering the larger scope of your life.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Fun, joy, play, creativity, and romance are being highlighted for you underneath this Full Moon, Sagittarius - lucky you!
For the past fifteen months, the transiting North Node in Aries has been asking you to learn how to be in the present moment, express yourself more creatively, and cultivate greater joy. As the light of the Full Moon fills up this same space, you may find yourself assessing whether or not you’ve done that. Perhaps there is an opportunity to let go of something in your life that blocks you from accessing the things that make you feel good or impedes you from being able to feel grounded and present. Embracing a little bit of spontaneity or impulsiveness might be helpful right now.
Interestingly, the leader of this Moon is Mars in Cancer, who is currently hanging out in your shadowy eighth house, asking for a bit of transformation on your end around how to choose to take action and assert yourself. You might have to get honest with yourself on how what you choose to do or not do is what’s blocking real potential for pleasure, fun, and joy. Mars also happens to be opposite Pluto in its final moments of Capricorn in your second house, amping up the theme of transformation in general, but also asking what you truly value now, after undergoing significant change in this area since 2008.
Venus, also at the 29th degree, but in Scorpio, harmonizes with both Mars and Pluto from your twelfth house, while reaching out to Neptune in Pisces from your fourth house. Because these planets are hanging out in two of the most private houses in the chart, you may need to spend a bit of time by yourself to really flesh out what love, romance, creativity, and pleasure mean to you at this point in your life. And/or spending time with someone very, very close to you whom you can reveal the most intimate parts of yourself. Remember that romance and intimacy can include fun! Indeed, for you, they must.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
The Full Moon in Aries is illuminating your fourth house, Capricorn. As the lowest place in the birth chart, this is an incredibly private place, which may leave you feeling a bit withdrawn, introspective, and tending to things at home.
This isn’t really something new, as the transiting North Node in Aries has been placing a huge emphasis on the more private, intimate areas of your life for over a year now. This has asked you to pull away from visibility and the career in some way, in order to pay more attention to the people and things that truly matter. As the Full Moon illuminates this space, you may find yourself wanting to spend time with your most intimate circle, or to tend to your home in some way. Because Full Moons are times of release, this could be a great time to clean out your closets, or rearrange furniture to let in some new and different energy for the darker half of the year. Do something that honors what you truly need right now.
Meanwhile, Mars is leading this moon, still in Cancer, in your seventh house of partnerships. Because Mars brings action and general busyness, your close relationships might be playing an especially prominent role right now. Mars also happens to be opposite Pluto, which is in its final moments in your sign, at the very edge of your first house, further highlighting the relationship axis. Do your relationships feel balanced? Equal? Fair? Perhaps there’s a need to reinforce some boundaries at this time. Take a moment to assess whether or not you’re feeling nourished by your connections, and/or if there’s an important relationship that could benefit from your attention right now.
Luckily, Venus, who is also in its final moments in Scorpio, is playing a supportive role to both Pluto and Mars from your eleventh house of community, while also receiving a boost from Neptune in Pisces in your third house of your local environment. Relationships are the main focus under this Full Moon, take the time to reach out, socialize, and be among those who really fill your cup.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
As the Full Moon in Aries moves through your third house, you may find yourself (and your mind) feeling extra busy at this time, Aquarius. The moon finds its joy in the third house, as it inspires us to speak up and share our thoughts and feelings with others. Thanks to the transiting North Node in Aries, that’s been a big focus for you since July of last year. As the moon shines its light here, perhaps there is something you feel inspired to speak up about. If something has been weighing on your heart and/or mind, allow the energy of the Aries Full Moon to embolden you to give a voice to whatever that is. There may simultaneously be a belief or story that you’ve held about yourself that you are ready to let go of now. Because the third house supports writing, you might benefit from journaling about whatever is coming up right now.
Alternatively, the third house relates to our local environment, our siblings, and all of the short trips we take in our day-to-day life, like commuting to a job or running errands. You might find your plate full with plenty of tasks to attend to!
Mars, the planet of action, is the leader of this Full Moon and is hanging out in Cancer in your sixth house, which happens to be the house of its joy. Your daily life might feel busy as hell at this time, with Mars bringing plenty of action to your job and daily routines. Meanwhile, Pluto opposes Mars while in its final moments in Capricorn from your twelfth house. As you prepare to close out a decade and a half-long era of Pluto reshaping your relationship to solitude, endings, and spirituality, there is a need for balance between the busyness of the mundane, and the necessity of alone time for a healthy spiritual life.
Meanwhile, Venus in Scorpio, also at 29 degrees, makes harmonious aspects to both Mars and Pluto from your tenth house, offering up a boost to your reputation, and maybe even your money and career. Venus also harmonizes with Neptune in your second house of resources, bringing further ease to what’s available to you at this time.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
Your resources are playing an important role right now Pisces, as this lunation stirs up your second house. For the past fifteen months, the North Node has been transiting this house, emphasizing what you have, what you value, and how you access those things. With the Full Moon shining its light here, this may be a moment where a greater understanding of your resources and values comes forward. Because Full Moons are culmination points, perhaps this is a full circle moment for you, where you can celebrate all that you’ve been working towards as far as money, self-esteem, and possessions are concerned.
The leader of this Full Moon is Mars, currently transiting Cancer, in your fifth house of joy. Mars is also opposite Pluto at 29 degrees Capricorn, which is finishing up its stay in your eleventh house. There is a focus on both the present moment, and the future here, especially with Venus coming through in its final moments of Scorpio to offer support from your ninth house of spirituality and the big picture. Where are you now, where are you headed next, and how can the resources at your disposal support you in getting there? Mars is asking you to take action now to support what you want for yourself in the foreseeable future - think the next five years. What do you have now, thanks to the transiting North Node and the eclipses, that you didn’t have before, that opens up the opportunity to dream bigger and get what you desire?
Ultimately, you have undergone a journey with Pluto in your eleventh house of community, dreams, and the future since 2008 which has deeply transformed the people you surround yourself with, and the vision you have for yourself in the future. In this moment, Pluto is harmonizing with Neptune in your first, and Uranus in your third. Allow a new perspective to blossom that you can carry forward and bring to life.
