The New Moon in Libra later today (10/21/2025 5:25 AM PDT / 12:25 PM UTC) is going to open a rather intense lunar cycle.

Mars-Mercury conjunct in Scorpio, near enough to Black Moon Lilith and squaring 1181 Lilith (an asteroid with similar themes to the calculated point), I can see some major jealousy and argumentative issues come up.

The New Moon also squares Jupiter and Pluto, though Jupiter and Pluto don't directly interact this time. So it *could* have been a Grand Cross with a few other degrees (when we also factor in Chiron Rx / Eris Rx), *but* we're not even seeing solid oppositions here. It's all... off-center.

Finally, Mercury's next pre-retrograde shadow comes into effect right before the New Moon goes exact. So we have delays and revisions to look forward to soon as well.

How fitting the AWS outage that took down half of the functionality of the Internet took place the day before this New Moon. If we're seeing this even before Mercury entered pre-retro shadow, imagine how things will look when it actually starts reversing in the sky.

I'm way overdue with this article. Apologies.

Full Moon Aries article may be a little late too. It's been a rough couple of weeks and managed to catch my housemate's and another friend's cold earlier. Mostly over it now.

This is more in-depth.

Slowly getting caught up.

Solar Eclipse Virgo in September 2025 opens a new cycle of major upheavals and shifts. Don't expect things to be stable for a good while.

Article still in progress, so I'll go over the basics with this Solar Eclipse in Virgo:

It went exact at 29 Virgo, so a critical degree, and it's the second New Moon we've had in Virgo this year. So we've still got the themes of service, obligations, health, and day-to-day routines. It's also part of a Grand Trine with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius and Uranus retrograde in Gemini, so we've got some major upheaval and rebellion/revolutionary themes here, which we might be able to learn from and take advantage of if we're open to what needs to change in our lives.

Solar Eclipse Virgo is also being kited in this Grand Trine with its opposition to Saturn retrograde in Pisces and Neptune retrograde at 0 Aries. We need to take a look at things with a solid view, and not through wishful thinking.

We also had the other factor of Mars at 29 Libra squaring Pluto retrograde, which I see as a violence and upheaval/conflict aspect (and given the events of the last couple of weeks, including the *very* high profile ending of Charlie Kirk's life in Utah).

Mars also apexes a Yod with its quincunx to Saturn Rx/Neptune Rx in their offsign conjunction, and the other quincunx to Uranus Rx.

As Solar Eclipse effects are felt over several months to a year plus after the lunation, we have... a very rough road ahead of us. Now, the Grand Trine does point to a *potential* for some positive changes, *but*... the Dark Side of the Grand Trine is idleness, tendency to inertia, and letting things go without putting in the effort.

Most likely, I suspect we're going to see a great deal more upheaval and reprisals in the next several months. It's not just a U.S.-centric thing either.

I would advise preparation for emergencies/incidents, and allocating resources to that end if you have not already begun doing so.

Nessus in a wide conjunction to the transiting North Node in Pisces is not helping matters either. Be as ready for anything as you possibly can, and know who your friends truly are and who your enemies truly are. (Pisces, being the 12th sign, has 12th house themes which include *hidden enemies*).

Not sorry for not sugar-coating this one. And yes, I have not been able to get to anywhere near what I wanted to get done when I wanted them done (such as the article).

Temper your expectations. And at this point as I write this, welcome to Libra season and Mars entering Scorpio (its other home sign). Expect things to pick up speed.

This Mercury in Virgo opposing Saturn retrograde in Pisces is having a decidedly Mercury retrograde-like feel right now.

On my end I’ve noticed more technological glitches and bugs, and miscommunications. A friend had car trouble, that sort of thing.

We’re also heading into the Solar Eclipse on Sunday (9/21), so expect this to intensify.

Article coming soon, as soon as I can get a chance to write it. Plenty going on with day-job work. I’ve survived a year plus at this one, so take it from me: even if things don’t seem 100% in our lives, there are things still working out for us.

Double check what you can right now, and remember that Mercury will also oppose Neptune retrograde tightly in the next few days. Miscommunication very likely. Advising patience.

We've entered Eclipse Season with the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces coming into full effect around 11:08 AM PDT / 6:08 PM UTC today (September 7th, 2025).

This comes on the heels of Uranus having entered its retrograde period in Gemini (and it will return to Ta**us in November).

There is a *ton* of our inner shadow energy we're going to have to deal with and confront here. But with a Water Grand Trine between the Lunar Eclipse, Jupiter, and Black Moon Lilith, we just might be able to navigate this a little bit easier if we hold true to a healthy amount of self-respect and personal (healthy) pride in ourselves.

Do watch out for really slick, smooth talkers though. The deception potential is through the roof. And definitely take care to avoid accidents where able. Knowing what to look for should prevent some of the more avoidable incidents.

Eclipse Season for Fall 2025 kicks off with the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7th, 2025. It's a time of decisive endings.

Full Moon Aquarius is upon us as we speak. But soon Mercury retrograde will be over and we'll be firmly in post-retrograde shadow territory.

A mystic rectangle pattern forms between Mars in Libra, Saturn Rx/Neptune Rx in Aries, Pluto Rx in Aquarius, and Mercury Rx in Leo.

Letter's in your mailbox. What's it say? A key to inner wisdom? Or a message from that inner shadow work you've been putting off?

The last Full Moon before the Fall Eclipse Season comes at us fast on August 9th, 2025. See what this particular Full Moon has in store.

07/24/2025

New Moon Leo is fast upon us, and is the beginning of the final full lunar cycle before we begin Eclipse Season in September.

The outer planets interact with this New Moon in unexpected ways, especially with the opposition to Pluto retrograde.

Also, Mercury is retrograde right now, so whatever new starts we would have with a New Moon isn't going to be so clear.

The lunar cycle for New Moon Leo for July 2025 will be transformative, and not all will go to plan, thanks to Pluto and Mercury retrogrades.

07/10/2025

Full Moon Capricorn takes place tomorrow on July 10th, 2025, and we are already feeling this one. There's some potential for hope and optimism, but the harsh reality is still with us in some ways with Saturn and Neptune retrograde still squaring Jupiter in Cancer.

We also have Uranus now in Gemini (with a brief return to Ta**us one last time to come in the next several months), so we now have four outer planets in Air and Fire signs. Expect society, culture, and global events to radically shift things over the next several years.

That includes war.

The Full Moon in Capricorn for July 2025 signals a checkpoint for the delayed gratification we're experiencing over the past few months.

06/24/2025

New Moon Cancer will be peaking overnight into the morning of Wednesday, June 25th at 3:31 AM PDT / 10:31 AM UTC.

While this New Moon conjuncts Jupiter in Cancer, and we'd normally have some good growth potential, the square to Saturn and Neptune in Aries are not helping matters. It's not cold reality splashing us in the face: it's hot burning coals now being thrown at us.

Uranus squaring Mars still for the start of this lunar cycle, with Mars now in analytical and calculating Virgo, denotes a new level of carnage is possible. Be ready for anything.

Well, I suppose the previous lunar cycle could have ended with more of a bang. But we’re in luck… some of the aspects then are still...

06/10/2025

Full Moon Sagittarius is coming fast overnight (North American time zones) on June 11th, 2025.

With the Full Moon squaring North Node Pisces/South Node Virgo, we've got a Grand Cross of sorts activating a gate of destiny, in a matter of speaking.

Jupiter (now in Cancer) squaring Saturn-Neptune puts a damper on things, and Uranus square Mars is not helping matters. Pluto retrograde square Venus also adds to the potential for loss in the midst of unwise actions.

I haven't been keeping up with the news near as much lately (to protect my mental health), but from what I've seen, this is only the beginning of chaos.

Don't be reckless.

Consider the Full Moon in Sagittarius in June 2025 to be a gateway to destiny. Many fated decisions await us all.

05/27/2025

New Moon Gemini opens up some communications. Make sure you're communicating good things though, as Saturn and Neptune together in early Aries can really ramp up the rhetoric.

There's a lot more happening with the onset of New Moon Gemini 2025. Saturn entering Aries may be a small part of that.

05/12/2025

Full Moon Scorpio is a brutal one with many surprises, but if we Figured It Out earlier, we may find that we're Finding Out a little bit better than some would fear.

If people didn't Figure It Out? The Find Out happens about... now.

It's not all doom and gloom. Be on the lookout for surprising propositions.

As Full Moons go, this one in Scorpio for May 2025 is full of surprises and forced reckonings. Expecting the unexpected is required.
