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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

04/27/2025

New Moon Ta**us is hitting around 12:31 PM PDT / 7:31 PM UTC, and it's going to be anything but chill for this entire lunar cycle.

We still have Venus and Mars in post-retrograde shadow periods, so things still haven't cleared up. Venus hasn't even reentered Aries yet. And Mars and Pluto are opposing each other and T-squaring this New Moon, so there's a major potential for some final blowups (remember November 2024 and January 2025, and think about the trends then).

And... Venus is still with Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, and in range of joining Neptune in Aries as well. So those lofty hopes aren't looking so easy right now.

There's a high potential for FAFO this lunar cycle. But the more people figure it out, the less FO there should be.

I'd like to be optimistic, *but*...

The new lunar cycle for New Moon Ta**us in April 2025 just isn't playing nice with us. Chill vibe in a Venus sign? Not this time.

Full Moon Libra's going on right now, and also by the time I post this, we have the double-impact of Venus retrograde ending, and now going into the post-retrograde shadow phase until May 16th.

There's a T-Square to Mars in Cancer with this Full Moon in Libra, Chiron and Eris are both with the Sun, and Pisces has a massive pileup of Mercury post-retro shadow, Venus now post-retro shadow, Saturn with Venus, Neptune in 0 Aries, and the North Node Pisces in the middle of all of this.

Partnerships and our links to others are going to have a major reality check.

Solar Eclipse Aries is in effect right now, and doesn't really make too many aspects to any bodies (unless we consider a >5 degree orb sextile to Pluto, which I really don't count much).

However, this Solar Eclipse conjunct the point where both Venus *and* Mercury stationed retrograde this current cycle. Relationships and communications are heavily affected, especially as they are approaching the North Node in Pisces, Saturn in Pisces, *and* Neptune, which will the day after this Eclipse enter Aries itself.

Our old world is melting away even more as we speak. Are you ready?

03/20/2025

Been a bit of an interesting day with Sun conjunct Neptune at 29 Pisces. Last degree of the zodiac, it’s a degree of endings and completion.

The Sun has not been conjunct Neptune at this degree since 1861, right as the U.S. Civil War was about to begin. It is said to not happen here again until March 2189… however, by my projections, they won’t conjunct at 29 Pisces even then, but will at 0 Aries. So the late 22nd century will see a major new beginning, but for now, we have the old world we know drawing to a close.

Black Moon Lilith is also sitting at 29 degrees Libra, the sign associated with partnerships, unions, and collaboration of many kinds (not just romantic). So yes, this also includes multinational alliances. Pay special attention if in NATO countries would be my thought on this. Black

Where relationships are concerned, with these ending patterns also coinciding with Venus and Mercury retrogrades AND the middle of Eclipse season, believe me when I say only pairings that are strong and will withstand the test of time will do well during and after this period. Even then, unless incredibly blessed, it will not be a smooth ride.

Also be aware that Uranus moved forward into Gemini around July 7th, 2025. Gemini last entered Gemini during World War II. However, Uranus will station retrograde in September and return to Ta**us for a brief time again around November 7th 2025. Uranus then moves forward again around February 3rd 2026 shortly before Saturn joins Neptune at 0 Aries. Again, more new beginnings, and hard realities coming. Uranus reenters Gemini in April 25th, 2026 to stay.

Many shifts and endings this year and next year. This period right now has brought even an ending in my sphere: a good friend passed away just prior to the Lunar Eclipse last week, which I only found out on the first day of Mercury retrograde (the 15th).

It’s not all doom and gloom. If we play our cards right, we can see some very good new beginnings now. Though they may not get off the ground until at least mid-April once Venus and Mercury move into their post-shadow phases and Solar Eclipse Aries passes (which itself will conjunct the Mercury and Venus station retrograde points almost exactly).

Hoping your Astrological New Year is a good one once Sun ingresses into Aries tomorrow. Hoping for better news for all overall.

Lunar Eclipse Virgo, kicking off Eclipse Season, is fast upon us tonight. It's overcast where I am so whoever can see it, enjoy the blood moon show.

At 23 Vir 56'32", this Lunar Eclipse indicates completions and endings, particularly in the realms of routine, some health matters, obligations, and general day-to-day tasks and minutiae. Anyone with placements from 19-29 degrees in the mutable signs (Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini) will feel it most acutely. Remember: A Lunar Eclipse is a superpowered Full Moon, and its effects reverberate for several months to even a couple years from now.

Sun's in Pisces, and with Saturn there as well, so the Lunar Eclipse opposes Saturn. Some of our dreams will be coming down to earth just like Icarus getting too close to the sun. Now, if we have the right track and momentum, perhaps we can flip this around, get a good landing, and use this to position ourselves for some better new beginnings.

With a tight trine to Uranus in Ta**us (itself with 157 Dejanira and 19 Fortuna), there's a good chance for those of us who survive these changes and endings to break out of some ruts, misfortune, and rough situations and maybe turn things around for ourselves. But it's a trine, so it won't happen without putting in the work. It'll just be a little easier to get off the ground with this as opposed to, say, a square.

With this also being a South Node eclipse, the ending and completion aspect of this is greatly amplified.

Do not forget that we're in the middle of Venus retrograde right now, and Mercury retrograde begins at almost the same place where Venus stationed retrograde in Aries the day after this Eclipse completes. So if you were thinking of starting that new job or relationship, or giving an ex another shot, you *really* need to make sure you *know* what you're getting into. It's not impossible for things to last, but it won't be an easy time of things.

Finally, the upcoming Solar Eclipse in Aries takes effect in two weeks *at the Venus and Mercury station retrograde point in Aries*, so whatever new beginnings come at the dawn of the next lunar cycle are going to be *extremely* powerful.

Expect a lot of chaos. If that's your thing, you might be alright. If order and stability are must-haves, well, may fortune ever be in your favor.
