On November 4th, 2026 the Sun at 12 degrees Scorpio formed an exact conjunction to Mercury retrograde at 12 degrees. This conjunction marked the beginning of a new cycle.

I am beginning this New Moon in Scorpio post with this planetary astrological configuration because it marked an event called cazimi.

What an amazing word, cazimi!

It translates from Arabic as “in the heart of the Sun”.

It’s an astrological event that occurs when a planet, in this case Mercury Rx at 12 degrees Scorpio, is conjunct the Sun at 12 degrees. It is only cazimi if it’s within a tight window of 1 degree.

Being in the heart of the Sun while not being weakened or burnt by the Sun’s intense heat and glare places Mercury, even in its retrograde “seated on the throne“. Allowing Mercury’s topics concerning matters of the mind and communication to be amplified, clarified and granted direct comprehensive insight.

So we enter into a time of new beginnings marked by the Mercury Rx cazimi to the Sun in Scorpio. Catalyzing the potential to imbue our minds with flashes of brilliance and profound sudden realizations.

It also indicates that the time has come for us to be reactivated. Particularly as clarity emerges making way for deep truths to emerge.

The Scorpio New Moon that occurred on the 9th of November brought to the surface the shadows that are usually hidden. Opening our minds and hearts to the depths of the psychology that is currently operative. Enabling us to understand the critical components of the time we are moving through.

As we continue to be in the middle of themes that ultimately require learning much more about the true nature of trust.

The New Beginning ~ Sun conjunct the Moon in Scorpio at 16 degrees on November 9, 2026 ~ At 2:02 AM EST

To recap, at the time of the Full Moon on the 26th of October the Sun had been conjunct Venus retrograde. Both formed the apex of the mystical Yod.

In so doing serving to illuminate that moment with issues concerning relationships, shared resources, finances and hidden secrets.

With Mercury retrograde at 6 degrees Scorpio having formed a quincunx to Uranus retrograde at 4 degrees Gemini.

Forming a sextile to Saturn retrograde at 8 degrees Aries conjunct Neptune retrograde at 1 degree Aries.

Forming a quincunx to Mercury retrograde at the apex.

Albeit Mercury retrograde in Scorpio links widely to the New Moon conjunct the Sun in Scorpio at 16 degrees.

Therefore marking retrograde Mercury in Scorpio as a significant component at the apex of this Yod linked to the New Moon in Scorpio.

The apex being the point that holds the tension of pressures that serve as a releasing point of the focused energies of the Yod.

Mercury retrograde in Scorpio indicates that the release of these fated energies comes through the mind, messaging and communicating.

Mercury retrograde at 6 degrees Scorpio widely conjunct the Sun conjunct the Moon also colors this fated moment with an internal (Moon) and external (Sun) connection towards something greater. From within to without….

Accentuating that for there to be progressive minded movement forward a conscious shift in the way we think about our lives is required. A shift in a collective understanding about the way we live which serves to catalyze personal and collective evolution.

Evolution as a result of the process of transformation through an understanding of our psychological orientation. To utilize psychological theories, insights and awareness of our own experiences supports the new paradigm shifts.

In, short, the time of taking responsibility for ourselves is here.

Hence, ACCOUNTABILITY is the way forward.

The base of the Yod;

Energies of change are quickened through blatant yet skilled communication. As is symbolized and encouraged by the placement of the liberating influences of Uranus retrograde in Gemini. Dynamically supported by its sextile to Saturn retrograde conjunct Neptune retrograde in Aries.

Saturn retrograde in Aries is what’s holding this fated moment of realization together. Saturn’s propensity towards providing challenges and boulders to overcome serves to strengthen, mature and make us wiser. Along with testing our integrity. Its presence in this position indicates where integrity is needed. Indicating the systemic failures that require transformation of the original structure.

Moving in the direction of establishing systemic structural shifts. New and innovative structural shifts that support life as evoked through the sextile Uranus retrograde in Gemini forms to Saturn retrograde in Aries conjunct retrograde Neptune in Aries.

The Neptune influence serves to effect an atmosphere of transcendence through activating the ability to drop down to the depths of compassion and understanding.

Opening our minds and hearts to perceptions that cut through disingenuous, toxic and antiquated notions of spirituality.

Bringing into focus the profound clarity required that moves the fog of delusion out of the way in order to reveal unethical deceptions. Even as the perversion of spirituality is being utilized as a weapon to punish and hurt. Through unjust goings on we are witness to being cruelly played out. Keep in mind perverse cruelty also gets played out in private as well.

However, through compassion and conscious understanding split off behaviors that are unhealthy and destructive can be processed through healthy well developed minds.

The Yod formed by the New Moon in Scorpio had the capacity to influence the motivation that can lead to awareness of misconceptions and delusions triggered by fear based hunger for power. Then to release from them in order to transform our relationship to spirituality and power.

The function of the Yod points us in the direction of conscious awareness that seeks to reveal evidenced based truth.

Therefore utilizing this moment as a time of pensive self reflection. Allowing the process of re evaluation to slowly unfold.

Be mindful that this is a slow moving moment.

We are moving through a lunation cycle that is differentiated from other New Moon moments. As we understand most New Moons are times of new beginnings, however the New Moon in Scorpio on the 9th is about review.

At the time oft his writing having moved from the New Moon in Scorpio on the 9th, it is still beneficial to contemplate awareness of your intentions.

Clarifying your intentions based on reviewing what brought you to the the circumstances of where you are in your life now. Even as you are reading these words. That would be a good use of the energies and influences of this moment.

The influence of the two quincunxes of this Yod act as a central force.

What with Mercury retrograde conjunct the Sun/Moon in Scorpio quincunx to Uranus retrograde in Gemini.

While on the other side Mercury, Moon/Sun conjunction in Scorpio had been quincunx to Saturn/Neptune retrograde in Aries.

The angles of the two quincunxes along with the signs involved stimulate an awkward, somewhat irritating high pressure friction.

Uranus Rx in Gemini stimulates mental liberation. Specifically as we are moving through these current transformational times, Uranus retrograde in Gemini is utilizing its electrically charged channeled energy to liberate. Influencing the focus on data and networks of gathered information, via the Gemini influence. All the while the Uranian influence is seeking an alternative perspective with an ingrained focus to find or invent another way. With its essential intention being to benefit mankind. Towards liberation that supports evolution.

Even while moving through the awkward and somewhat incompatible but necessary deep feeling waters of Scorpio. In so doing requiring an integration of these seemingly incompatible energies.

We are fortunate for this configuration since it brings the necessity of the embodiment of soul to the equation.

In so doing, a conundrum emerges through the realization that the uses of logic do not compute through the medium of soul. Gripped then with the gestalt awareness that there will be no thinking one’s way out of this one.

Therefore it is good to have the influence of Neptune involved. Compassionate, transcendent and aligned with a universal cosmic flow through which we are being pointed towards the direction of surrender.

The quincunx formed to the Sun/Moon/Mercury in Scorpio suggests letting go. Letting it all go in order to be fully present to the flow of conscious awareness. With its heightened insights of beauty and awareness of oneness. Bringing us back to our hearts in order to lose our minds and just come back to our senses.

Saturn/Neptune Rx in Aries seeks bold pioneering movement forward motivated by deeply transcendent spiritually inspired actions.

The influences of this moment along with their validation through our being witness to current events requires our full presence. Being present with the heartfelt rhythmicity of this moment as it is so succinctly expressed through the words of Stevie Wonder, “that love’s in need of love today.”

The Object Relationists would probably agree that what is required at this critical time is to learn to be aware of our feelings as authentic guidance from our soul and spirit.

To acknowledge tbat what is sacred is the preciousness of our humanity. The integrity of a humanized humanity that respects all of life. That is the journey we are on as we are all members of the human race of which we are all included.

Scorpio season has the capacity to emphasize that it is through awareness of our feelings from which we receive true guidance. As our feelings are always telling the truth whereas our mind can make up stories. Awareness of our feelings connects us to the awareness of what our true needs are. That is one of the keys.

It is the way to maintain the steady flow that our lives require. It is the way to have the momentum needed to continue on at a time of so much transformation.

Clearly this is a time of catharsis, cleansing and release in order to truly evolve and transform. To acknowledge and honor this moment as a time of recalibration that is based on the ability to allow the integrity of honest retrospectives to emerge.

A review, if you will, of the events and history that have gotten us here is useful and appropriate at this time.

All this to say, that this is not the time to willfully force outward behaviors to manifest. What with all the retrograde energy and profound influences abounding through the energetic influences of the Yod.

Rather it is a beneficial time to reflect.

The planetary energies moving through the Zodiac have the capacity to serve as an inspiration to consciously go with the flow of your life. However bear in mind that this moment still requires the practice and discipline of mindful listening in order to seek the truth.

Whenever possible to be able to become aware of what lies hidden beneath the surface.

We must continue to move forward encouraged that this too shall pass. Clarity does begin to emerge shortly after both Mercury and Venus station Direct on the 13th of November.

Therefore we must continue to move on. Especially as we continue to move through a time of hastening transformation. The trend and solutions are beginning to emerge where we must release antiquated obsolete and toxic power dynamics.

This gets played out in the t-square.

The t-square where the apex is the dynamically profound and rare triple conjunction of Mars at 22 degrees Leo conjunct Jupiter at 25 degrees conjunct the South Node at 26 degrees Leo.

Imbuing this time period with a predilection driven by the satisfaction of dealing with challenges that emerge in the form of conflicts. All to be dealt with utilizing inherent courage and vitality. An expansion of the “Hero’s journey”, if you will, with a few caveats contained from the lessons learned via the South Node in Leo.

But I digress….

Mars conjunct Jupiter, who expansively amplifies every planet it aspects. In this moment bringing forth the need to hold a greater vision that supports balance through upholding laws. That is in its higher expression.

Yet in its base not so evolved human experience we can see and experience power plays via hot headed ego concerns getting played out.

Do not follow those impulses! At least make an effort not to…..

It is best to just stop, take a beat, breathe and come back to the actual insight contained in the anger, the frustration or the irritation.

Then you can find out what is really bothering you and what you really need. To prevent acting it out through impulsively, hot headed and destructive ways. Stop yourself to see what the moment in reality is truly calling for.

Be mindful that the South Node at 26 degrees Leo conjoined in this triplex operates by evoking familiar patterns from the past. Whose purpose in this equation is to catalyze the release and letting go of what is no longer needed or relevant to your life now.

To elaborate, it’s the the energy of Mars, expanded through its conjunction to Jupiter as the South Node in Leo is triggering big karmic Leo lessons on pride.

Perhaps getting played out through a yearning for the need to seek public recognition via performance. Leo does have a deep need to feel loved and appreciated by others. Particularly to be illuminated in order to shine through the recognition it receives from others for its creative endeavors.

Keep in mind this is a lesson from the past to be acknowledged.

Then to be released.

Keep in mind it will all be replaced with a more humanized evolved version as we learn the lessons from the North Node in Aquarius.

To keep in mind that for this moment we are in deep in process as we continue on. To realize and come to terms with the fact that what matters the most is to regain the elegant humility of the much needed humanization of humanity.

As a dear friend of mine has said while reflecting on the journey of her own process, “Only to emerge as the healed healer continuing to heal one’s self and the others.”

Such is the time we are moving through,

It is actually helpful to utilize the energies of the Mars/Jupiter/South Node/Leo influence to become consciously aware of its propensity to activate components of the psychologically dystopian oriented false self.

OIt is a good time to learn to understand how to work with these energies. In order to bring our understanding of ourselves and each other into balance.

To really know how to transform unhealthy narcissism into healthy narcissism. Indeed, the upgrade to healthy narcissism is what great dissonant comedy is actually made of. When we can laugh at the ludicrousness of our human frailties.

To really do it in a grand way. Thanks be to Mars in Leo conjunct Jupiter. As it does its expansive grandiosity thing.

Even as the South Node in Leo is doing its karmic dance.

As the past emerges for us to reflect on.

How it mirrors back to us the needed learned lessons or even perhaps the ones we missed altogether.

Thus bringing us face to face with the disavowals of ourselves and others steeped in delusions. This can only occur if we are ready to allow ourselves to really experience the painful humiliating acknowledgement of false victories.

Definitely NOT fun!

But a necessary part of the process of self reclamation.

It’s only through becoming aware of conscious and unconscious hollow achievements built on a false sense of self that they can be released and let go of.

To then be able to comprehend with compassion and forgiveness for that part of our story based on a misrepresentation of the past. To gestalt how holding on to that delusion would never have allowed us to be genuinely present in our lives with who we really are anyway.

The challenging yet powerful energies contained in this t-square want to see us beautiful, whole and empowered. To then have the ego strength to relinquish ideas built on antiquateds values that are no longer valid, no longer relevant or that no longer even really matter.

That is one way to look at the lessons learned from the tension and friction caused by the Leo Stellium square to the New Moon in Scorpio conjunct the Sun and Mercury retrograde.

As we are invited to do the dance of dichotomy. To dwell in the phantasy of the hope of who we imagine ourselves to be versus delving into the shadowy depths. Where the shadowy depths contain some of the lost disavowed fragments of who we really are.

It is a useful thing to utilize this time to go inward.

To be mindful that the t- square encourages a reckoning. In order to affirm accountability, taking responsibility and getting back to a balanced cosmic flow.

The Scorpio component of this t-square insists on getting to the heart of the matter.

So do take heart for even if it is not yet time to shine, to be recognized and acknowledged. This moment too shall pass.

At the risk of sounding redundant it is wise to be mindful and aware of ego driven clashes with authority. If you find yourself in such a moment, stop, breathe, take a beat. Come back to yourself by being fully present in the moment.

Then become mindful of who you are as a person, which in reality is actually separate from the matter in conflict. Whatever the matter is, be aware that this is time to utilize healthy communication skills informed by psychological understanding.

This is the way to not get caught in the grips of ego driven stand-offs.

Getting back to the other leg of this t-square. That is Uranus retrograde in Gemini at 4 degrees square to Mars/Jupiter/South Node in late Leo. They form a square not by sign but by degree. Almost imbuing this as a Taurus – Leo square.

So a bit of fireworks. As a bit of volatility could emerge when these planetary influences intertwine in square aspect.

Be aware of unexpected plot twists, sudden news containing disruptions. (Such as the FAA cancelling airport travel.)

When Uranus is involved the disruptions become even more intensified to serve as wake up calls. In reality we are being made to be aware of restless feelings that might be building up.

To understand these planetary influences as tools of guidance to help illustrate how to break free from intellectual or structural stagnation. Viewing it this way gives meaning to disruptions. While nudging us towards ways to manage the chaos.

The Uranus square to Jupiter conjunct the South Node in Leo has the propensity to evoke a pivot point.

Hence, here we are.

Basically pointing towards a path away from that which is no longer relevant or effective. The South Node in Leo indicates a call for a much needed reckoning.

The other component of the New Moon Scorpio/Sun conjunction to Mercury retrograde is the square it formed to Pluto in Aquarius at 3 degrees.

Imbuing this time as containing the components needed to really open the door to a rebirth through going to the depths of soul.

To soul search in order to shed the past.

To let go of the illusion of the person who you thought you were.

In order to allow you to give breath, heart and soul to the person who you really are.

As emerging from the depths of your being

To imbue us with the understanding that the way forward is through the courage to dive deep into the depths and shadow probings of Scorpio.

The square Pluto in Aquarius formed to the New Moon in Scorpio evoked intense frustrations concerning evolutionary impulses.

Probing the deep dark waters revealing how toxic things have gotten. Utilizing Pluto’s “wrecking crew” to break it all down, an ongoing process.

However then illuminating the need to renovate. Cleansing away the old which then requires the need to work on processing how to create systemic transformations.

The profound dynamic of Pluto in Aquarius square to the New Moon in Scorpio accentuates the dichotomy of deep soulful feelings that clash with collective power structures that question conventions.

It is through the friction these energies cause that inspires collective communities to organize. With the motivating intention of breaking free. To break free from the control and manipulation of rigid systems that do not align with humanity.

To passionately, adamantly and objectively move towards a continued sustained evolution rooted in authenticity. In order to empower an egalitarian sustainable society.

All these energies and influences with their various challenges and breakthroughs.

As the Minor Grand Trine keeps vibing on….

Uranus retrograde at 4 degrees Gemini sextile to Saturn retrograde at 8 degrees Aries conjunct Neptune retrograde at 1 degree Aries.

Saturn/Neptune in Aries forms a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius…..

As Pluto in Aquarius closes the triangle bringing it on home to Uranus in Gemini.

These “heavy hitter” planets interlinked harmoniously through Air and Fire signs suggests a new dimension of consciousness implanting into our consciousness.

However, it can only be so if we choose it to be.

It appears to be that at the bleak moment we are in, putting us all at the precipice of many interlinked existential crisis. All serving as their own catalyst for humanity to evolve towards change and transformation.

So that people are aware and ready to establish new paradigms as the old ones are slowly and painfully dying.

I heard Professor Jeffrey Sachs speak as he did on The Financial Express podcast on 11/5/2026. His ideas and thoughts seemed to have been speaking to the possible meaning of these influences.

In his words and ideas I reflected on how resonant they were with the energies of the Minor Grand Air/Fire Trine.

Clearly Professor Sachs was putting into words the necessary evolutionary possibilities that do have the potential of being played out globally via world leaders. World leaders who comprehend the need to comprehensively cooperatively work together. Through the use of diplomacy re establishing trust among all nations. Clearly a beneficial way to think of the influences of Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius. Sextile to the Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Aries.

Professor Sachs emphasizes the need for a global dialogue. He speaks of this moment being a time of multi polarity.

Acknowledging India as a great power, China is a great power, Russia is a great power and so is the United States. Professor Sachs states that the point is not to make alliances against other great powers. Rather for all the great powers to work together.

He spoke of a “word” in political science, “ to be a concert of nations”. Rather than forming alliances against each other. So that through teasing out the competition between nations we support new kinds of relationships between nations.

The validation and use of true diplomacy requires the support of skilled uses of respectful dialogue and communication. This is how to stabilize a multi polar world.

He once again acknowledges that all of these powerful nations working together has the potential to form a “concert of great powers.”

Imbuing the relationships between global powers with agreements to cooperate with each other through developing trust in the intention to bring forth a sustainable world for all.

This is done through the respect that must be earned through diplomacy and dialogue. With the agreement to do no harm.

Professor Sachs acknowledges that his career for 46 years has been about sustainable development through cooperation and communication. In light of the November 3rd Midterm elections Professor Sachs is optimistic.

Reflecting on the parallels I hear evoked through what Professor Sachs has stated I hear a healthy manifestation of the energies of the Minor Grand Trine.

In so doing his words and the Minor Grand Trine evoke the need to acknowledge our humanity in how we all require a sustainable world. When we are able to do this we have the capacity to end poverty on our planet Earth.

Professor Sachs then goes on to say that healthy sustainable changes won’t happen through politics and partisanship. Rather the necessary shifts can only occur through investment in the skills, education and health of its young people as its highest priority.

Professor Sachs so succinctly talks of how when the young people of India say they are not getting the education they need, it is NOT an anti- government protest as much as it is a statement of reality. A reality that is the highest investment a country needs to make in this Information Age.

Through the investment in making sure every child gets a high quality education insures the highest economic return.

So I end this long winded post with this food for thought.

Affirming this moment in time as marking a beginning first steps forward towards a “concert of nations.”

Harmonizing to create something soulfully healing…..

That we are moving into a time where everybody plays their part by being on the same page and listening to each other. Where we are all a part of this great re-creation……..

The New Moon in Scorpio through the signs ~

Aries ~ Energized by your ruling planet Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo filling you with an expansive amount of confidence. However be mindful that it would be good to take a breath as components of the past could be playing out. Utilize this time to tie up loose ends. Then after the 13th begin to move forward towards creative accomplishment.

Taurus ~ The beautiful yin/yang connection the sextile of your ruling planet Venus forms to Mars strengthens you to continue on. While at the same time, on the other hand you might have oogles of anxiety through the square to Pluto. It’s just anxiety caused by shifts in consciousness. This too shall pass especially when Venus goes direct on the 13th. Still there is much movement afoot. It would be helpful, soothing and life affirming to give yourself a moment everyday to focus on what gives you pleasure and bliss. This will serve to nourish you while giving you confidence to trust in your process moving forward.

Leo ~ This can be a bit of a stressful tricky time for you. Your free creative spirit can feel somewhat frustrated by the past. It is a reckoning time for your Sun in Leo as Mars and the South Node are transiting through your sign.

It’s the part of you that can love, enjoy life and create brilliance in the world. So keep on…

Virgo ~ In actuality the Scorpio intensity of this lunation has offered some release of tension and pressure for you. The introspective component of the moment invites you to drop down into your hearts desire. To take a moment. To take some time to break from your day to day in order to refresh yourself with what really matters to you. Utilize this time to slowly mull over things. To even meander a bit. To trust that your Virgo sensibilities will guide you back towards making productive good sense of it all.

Libra ~ Having dropped down into some shadowy realms of your psyche and experience. Hopefully to have found the understanding and compassion you need in order to heal and integrate.

Utilize this time to clear away the old so you can move forward into a powerfully dynamic new beginning. Towards a beautiful Solar Year ahead.

Sagittarius ~ As your ruling planet, Jupiter transits through Leo conjoined by Mars and the South Node, expansive vibrant energy abounds. However, before you can book any adventures, utilize this moment to review your life. To come to terms with any discrepancies. Do this by understanding your motivation and intention. Then assess and affirm what it is that you really need and require in order to authentically live the way you wish to. Trust that the best is yet to come.

Capricorn ~ New revolutionary and evolutionary ideas abound. The trick is to come back to what really matters to you. So to drop down into your heart which is supported by this Scorpio season. Revelation through communications hold healthy possibilities. Albeit coming up against resistances are also part of the equation. A good time to let go of trying so hard to push things through. Rather stop to breathe and to take a beat. Take a moment to enjoy the sensual pleasures around you. Then your activities and projects can start to make sense.

Aquarius ~ In the midst of trying to get things done, quite challenging as your ruling planet Uranus retrograde configured in the Yod. Seems to have had other plans. It’s all ok. This is a good time to take the wisdom of Langston Hughes and remember, “Nothing lights a fire like a dream deferred.” So keep on. One thing is for certain and take heart with this bit of wisdom. It is through the Saturn co-rulership of your Sun sign with its penchant for perseverance, discipline and practice which always has the capacity to insure that sooner or later it will all turn out the way you need it to. Keep on.

Pisces ~ There is an experience of harmony in how interconnected Scorpio season works with your Sun sign and ruling planet. Allow yourself to drop down into the depths of your dreams. While at the same time give yourself the time and space to surrender to some self reflection. To open your heart to compassion as you review where in your life you are right now. Acknowledge all the blessings and the challenges. Learn from the challenges and acknowledge gratitude for the blessings. As the energies of this moment begin to shift yet again you will have benefitted from this introspective yet very creative time.

There it is.

I hope this was insightful, inspiring and helpful.

Full Moon in Taurus at 2 degrees on October 26, 2026 at 12:12 AM ESDT

The Taurus/Scorpio opposition is a learning curve that leans towards finding the meeting ground between two seemingly opposing variables.

Even so this is a harmonious opposition where the two have the capacity to nourish each other’s intentions. This then has the capacity to bring forth a natural harmonious balance through the process of creative stimulation from both.

For Taurus it is the journey towards stability and safety. While the Scorpio component of the equation seeks the bare, naked truth. This includes opening forbidden doors leading to the seductive shadow side of life’s mysteries.

Marking this then as quite a fascinating full Moon. A culminating moment where the world of matter as evoked by the Full Moon in Taurus is being fed by Scorpio’s soulful seeking within the depths of mystery. Seeking to reveal hidden truths.

Scorpio season is a moment where we get to touch the realms of mystery, shadow and seduction. While the Taurus Moon values the comforts of simple pleasures.

The Taurus Moon relishes and delights in beauty and the lush comforts of life. While the Sun in Scorpio seeks to look beyond the parameters of the material world toward the hard edges of reality.

The Fixed Water element of Scorpio works well with the Fixed Earth element of Taurus. Water nourishes Earth and Earth gives Water a place to be held.

Scorpio seeks to uncover the underpinnings of hidden secrets in order to reveal the complexities of life. While Taurus has the capacity to take the information and utilize it in a practical way. To establish stability and security in order to make life better, easier and delightful.

For both signs the endpoint of the process is to restore inner trust through which self esteem emerges.

For many reasons it is during the Scorpio season that life reveals many twists and turns which contain opportunities to find wisdom, grace and strength. It’s Scorpio’s invitation to dive into life in order to know we can survive the storms of transformation.

Then we are ready to move into the Taurus phase of thriving enrichment.

The Sabian symbol for the Taurus Moon @ 3 degrees states, “Natural steps lead to a lawn of clover and bloom.”

In the interpretation, Dane Rudhyar speaks of how this relates to the gradual expansion of the individual consciousness after an enriching experience.

He goes on to say that this is a stage where diligence and determination summoned with humility and faith leads to reaching natural fulfillment. * Here in this context faith indicates trust in one’s self as earned through utilizing the grace and strength required to overcome despair through dealing with life’s challenges.

In contrast the Sabian symbol for the Scorpio Sun is, “ A house raising party in a small village enlists the neighbors cooperation.”

Rudhyar’s interpretation indicates a sense of togetherness and participation which develops through participation in a common enterprise through collective work.

So allowing the Scorpio quality of transformation to unfold. In so doing a new sense of reality emerges. Cooperation being the operative word.

Is Scorpio the most misunderstood sign with the worst reputation?

At least that’s how Robert Hand begins talking about Scorpio in his book, “Horoscope Symbols”.

I see it more as a question.

Hand speaks of the procession of Libra moving into the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio then goes on to become enjoined through intimacy. He says where Libra begins as two people being separate entities, for Scorpio there is a merging on an emotional level via sexual intimacy. Then through the experience of orgasm the process of an ego death unfolds. However, it seems to me that the journey of Scorpio goes deeper than that.

For Scorpio fascination with the seduction of mystery, including the unsolved mystery of death leads towards an understanding of the process of transformation. Scorpio understands that good and evil are all part of a continuum and a part of life. So Scorpio fears not the dark and hidden edges but rather seeks them out.

Scorpio has a propensity to seek experience steeped in intensity. This fascination makes attainable the experience of transformation, redemption and revitalization that Scorpio attunes to. For Scorpio life is understood to be a series of deaths, leading to rebirth, restoration and revival of one’s self.

However, the Full Moon in Taurus on the 26th of October evoked many fascinating complexities and interesting configurations.

At the time of this lunation the Taurus Moon was conjunct Chiron Rx at 28 degrees in Aries conjunct Eris Rx at 25 degrees so forming a stellium.

All while being diametrically opposed by the Sun in Scorpio conjunct Venus retrograde at 29 degrees Libra.

These energetic influences indicate that emotional and physical comforts could be destabilized by a distracting awareness of our own vulnerabilities. Ultimately opening our attention towards the need to question what really matters. Throwing us back onto ourselves and forcing us to acknowledge the truth of who we are and to reassess our priorities.

This Full Moon in Taurus invited us to drop down into the truth of what really matters. In the long term it’s a battle of the self with the Self towards healthy individuation.

It reminds me of the Marge Piercy poem where she states that,” we are living as if we were an experiment being conducted by the future”. To metaphorically grasp the air we can not yet breathe as we are finding our way out of the dark narrow tunnel of the birth canal.

Only to emerge questioning how to be who we really are even if it doesn’t align with others?

This is the Eris Rx in Aries influence.

Eris, a dwarfed planet, who is understood to be the Goddess of Discord. In so doing she stands for the intrinsic truth. This influence serves to expose what has been denied and disavowed.

The placement of her in conjunction with the Taurus Full Moon stellium at this time indicates a demand for authenticity. Albeit, the retrograde component indicates an internal reckoning with one’s self rather than just an outward rebellion.

It is timely and beneficial to work more inwardly at this moment. As we have been moving through a time with compounded complexities. So to hold major outward protests while many wholly unstable reckless sociopathic personalities are currently “in charge”, as it were, is dangerous, as we move through the U.S. elections.

Particularly as the Rx motion of Chiron and Eris along with five other retrograde planets indicate this is much more of a time of inner reckoning with one’s self and the personal relationships we already have.

All this to say it seems like a good moment in time for some self reflection and an introspective reckoning with one’s relationship to one’s self at this time. The profound quality of this lunation cycle indicates lessons on learning about earned trust and the need to learn about that process. I repeat, trust is not an energy vibration. Trust and respect must be earned.

Do take heart that even in this time of much retrograde motion and slowed down process, be rest assured that shifts are occurring. So to trust and understand that through inner reflection the necessary wisdom and knowledge on how to organize much needed strategies shall emerge.

Metaphorically and tragically we are in the midst of a war and peace dynamic. A dynamic being collectively evoked by the Taurus’s Moon’s desire for calm steady tangible peace. While at the same time the Sun in Scorpio is tugging hard in its demand for the probing required to excavate the psychological depths of knowledge and understanding in order to reveal truths. Truths that lead to collective self empowerment. Ultimately leading towards a comprehensive understanding of the process of transformation itself.

A process the Pluto in Aquarius square to this lunation cycle is what we are all in the midst of. More about that in a moment.

Pluto in Aquarius at 3 degrees squaring the Taurus Full Moon, conjunct Chiron Rx, conjunct Eris Rx both in Aries.

Add in to the equation the Rx Venus factor as it is conjunct the Scorpio Sun. So it goes that in this configuration the Venus Rx component exacerbates a tension catalyzed by Venus’s love of beauty, harmony and financial stability.

The challenge is to become aware of how not to sell one’s soul by giving one’s power away. The dilemma of agreeing with something or someone even when you do not in order to have things go along seemingly in peace is what’s up.

To have the grace, strength and wherewithal to stand in your own truth even if other’s are not sharing the same understanding. This is what is coming to light at this time. To be aware and to blatantly gestalt that this mechanism is no longer operative. We must stand in truth.

There is a significant shift in our evolution and culture that is occurring. There is an awareness through lived experiences that is leading to an emerging collective understanding. There is a collective realization that to hold onto false destructive agreements only brings on more stress, tension and resentment. Indicated by the lack of goods and services emerging.

The dilemma is to make sure that this is not what continues. Eris will not tolerate it! The Goddess of Discord comprehends that it is not balanced nor is it sustainable to negatively merge with another just to not feel so all alone.

This is a time of reckoning as we are bearing witness to how detrimental it is to acknowledge something as true when it is not. There is no integrity when one chooses to agree with blatant untruths in the interest of avoiding conflict.

Avoiding conflicts and struggle depletes the creative juices that powers new solutions and authentic relating. This is a moment where it is becoming clear that “people pleasing” often dissipates the life force where creative solutions can be found.

All this to say that as we move through this Venus Rx we must honor and respect how in retrograde motion the goddess is sinking deep beneath the dark sea.

To understand that her retrograde journey metaphorically gives meaning to this time. In order for us to understand how to utilize this time as an opportunity to face our fears. This is how we develop faith in ourselves and the process of life itself.

All the while somehow trusting that Venus, as we ourselves, shall emerge, once again beautiful, whole, strong and embodied.

As it is so well illustrated in the Rilke poem, “ Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are Princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being, something helpless that wants help from us.”

It seems that we are moving through this sort of moment as Venus Rx is in descent. Only to emerge as Venus goes direct on 11/13/2026 @ 7:27 PM EST. She has the capacity to emerge being quite resolute to uphold truth and Justice. As we shall, as we must.

Yet as we continue to move through this moment in time it is useful to acknowledge how the energy of this Full Moon in Taurus is such a dynamic moment of culmination.

What with seven Planets retrograde; Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Chiron, and Eris. Just sayin’…..

To be mindful of how the propensity of so many retrograde energies are intensifying Rx Venus’s return to darkness and shadow.

It’s a good time to reflect on how this metaphor and the slowed energies of this moment are getting played out in our own lives.

What is in need of revisiting, exploring and processing through from your past? In the interest of releasing it, of course.

This is a good time to excavate what has been enshrouded in the shadows of disavowal?

Remember to be mindful that this exploration is in the process of self reclamation and healing. It’s all in the interest of integrating the fragmented lost components of one’s self with who you are now. Therefore compassion, understanding and forgiveness are required.

All exploration to be done with love, compassion and understanding for yourself and others. However in the interest of living in your truth do not forgive others until you are ready to do so. Not before! Then it will not be real.

Especially significant at this chaotic and imbalanced time are blatant concerns making it quite clear to many that our culture along with our collective global civilization requires validating and upholding of the feminine principle.

Through being witness to cruel acts of brute force and a disavowal of laws it is becoming clear that one of the solutions is to call on the feminine principle of Venus.

In her symbol as Goddess of Justice, her symbolic and visceral metaphor of embodiment is to pull us back from the distortion of hypermasculinity.

As we are all witness to the misuse of power and control of others with awareness at this time that nationally and globally, this regression to pathological sociopathic authoritarian behaviors is not sustainable. Therefore we the people must uphold the balance required. This is what is contained within the feminine principle.

The unconditional love of the feminine principle honors, loves and respects life. Utilizing common sense, evidenced based reality and science to bring us back to balance towards stability and sustainable lives of dignity for all.

Upholding with reverence the feminine principle must include a healthy balanced version of the masculine principle. This transition and transformation is not at the expense of one or the other. For our cultures and societies to be sustainable the two principles must be balanced and work together.

We are so blatantly witnessing the need for the reclamation of the empowered feminine principle in balance with a balanced healthy masculine principle. For a culture comprised of all of us that has the ability to understand and make room with compassion for the journey into darkness when necessary. This is part of the feminine principle.

To understand that this is the moment we are living through now. To be here now with conscious awareness so utilizing our understanding of how the influences of the planets and points moving through the Zodiac give meaning to our experience.

The motivation and intention being to understand with compassion our emergence from the darkness into the light. While valuing and trusting the feminine principles that motivate us towards “random acts of kindness and untold beauty.”While metaphorically being armed with the knowledge and wisdom that encourages our journey towards wholeness, beauty and balance.

In service of humanity.

We have the opportunity to be witness to and even experience it ourselves, if we so choose. To gestalt the awareness of this moment in time, with all of its chaos and discomfort as a growing pain of sorts.

This is being illuminated at this time through awareness of the impulse towards “people pleasing”. To comprehend how “people pleasing” serves to weaken one’s position as it compromises healthy selfhood. Clearly coming from a place of inauthenticity does not serve the interest of upholding truth and justice. As truth and justice are inherent resources of the Venus playbook.

This Taurus Full Moon is colored by feelings of vulnerability and outrage through its conjunction to Chiron and Eris. Marking this as a time which requires inward reflection.

Nonetheless, the Sun conjunct Venus in opposition to the Moon in Taurus conjunct Chiron and Eris requires breaking through societies polite decorum. All in the interest of adamantly demanding raw unvarnished truths.

It might not be apparent at first but we are moving through a slow progression of transformations. All being brought about through a comprehension of how clinging to old beliefs are at play. Most significantly how many old beliefs and antiquated paradigms are no longer operative. They no longer fit, they no longer work.

It is the comprehension and awareness of these things that shall continue to serve to bring about the shifts and changes that are needed. What is no longer serving must be called out for what it is, acknowledged and then let go of. To be released!

To be let go of. To then be replaced with healthier and better means and ways of how we can take care of ourselves and each other.

The moment we are living through and the planetary influences requires creating new and relevant systems that supports healthy stability. All to be grounded in truth and the bones of integrity. Truth and authenticity that supports healing through the virtues of the bones of integrity as indicated through scientific and experiential evidenced based reality.

All this as the Venus Rx factor itself in its opposition to Chiron conjunct Eris in Aries has the capacity to bring forward relationships that serve as a direct mirror. To become aware of old wounds that can be healed in tbe interest of allowing awareness of who we really are to emerge.

This Full Moon in Taurus is a call for all of us to become aware of how we have abandoned ourselves in order to make someone else comfortable.

*Even so, it is good to remember that there are times, as we understand our needs better, when we must set up boundaries that only we know we are doing. It can be understood as having a diplomatic intention. Then in those cases it is critical to remember, “To thine own self, be true!”

The Yod, “the Fated Finger of God” is playing a part during this lunation cycle.

We see at the Apex of the Yod, Venus Rx at 29 degrees Libra conjunct the Scorpio Sun at 2 degrees.

This forms a quincunx on both sides, one to Uranus Rx 4 degrees Gemini. While on the other side the Sun conjunct Venus is quincunx to Saturn Rx at 9 degrees Aries conjunct Neptune Rx at 2 degrees Aries.

All this while at the base of the Yod we see Uranus Rx in Gemini forming a sextile to Saturn Rx conjunct Neptune Rx in Aries.

The apex of the Yod receives the pressure of this configuration in order to find a way to make these energies work together. As we continue on.

The base creatively and harmoniously resonates with the need for innovation through communication. Allowing for brightly lit gestalt moments of clarity via the genius of Uranus in Gemini. Opening the doors towards shifting paradigms. Shifts that are becoming clarified on some level.

Albeit it’s a slowed but steady process indicated by the retrograde motion of seven planets at this time. This includes the four players in this Yod.

All this retrograde energy turning inward, allows us to review how we got here.

Calling all historians!

This includes reviewing the current concerns about the technology of AI. This is the time to bring our awareness to how we got here. Then to democratically discuss how we choose to move forward.

Retrograde Uranus in Gemini forming the sextile to Neptune retrograde conjunct Saturn retrograde in Aries harmonizes these energies. Allowing us to become mindful of the structures of evidenced based reality with systems that incorporate flexible boundaries.

Flexible boundaries being the Neptune Rx component serving to clear away illusions, delusions, dreams and nightmares along with antiquated spiritual ideals. To be replaced with visions of an integrated humanity working as a global community towards sustainable life on Earth and dignified living for all.

This sextile becomes the basis of cooperative flowing visionary ideals steeped in the vibrant soulful essence of life itself. As catalyzed through the Aries influence.

Always, always, always with strict adherence to checks and balances upholding laws that support a cohesive, dignified life for all. In other words the best of the best that the base of this Yod has to offer. While the apex is serving as the release valve through which to secure the channeled destination of the Yod’s energy.

Particularly profound is Venus Rx in Libra at the anoretic 29 degree point. Marking this as a time to reassess our relationships as they reflect our values or not.

This opens the door to understand the meaning of mutual cooperation. Bearing in mind that we are in the midst of the process of the darkness metaphorically brought about through the descent of the goddess. So evoking our struggles with self worth as well as past karmic connections.

Then we have the spicy quincunx which infuses the necessary tension that produces the pressure required to induce a karmic adjustment.

Retrograde Venus in Libra conjunct the Sun in Scorpio shares no real natural affinity through the quincunx it forms to Uranus Rx in Gemini. Neither does it to the quincunx it forms to Saturn retrograde conjunct Neptune retrograde in Aries.

Therefore what is experienced is an awkward persistent annoyance that requires fine tuning and recalibration.

To understand these influences and their relevance to current affairs requires a bit of objective detachment along with a bit of clever mental acuity.

If we feel and think into it we can perceive that there is a through line within it all. That being the clear intention to support the need for freedom through innovative communicating while adhering to systems and structures based on ideals that support life.

The Yod itself indicates a deep sober yearning for the experience of a heartfelt soulful spirituality. However, the way this is experienced, understood and manifested must be respected as being unique to each individual.

It seems that the Yod is pointing in the direction of a newly discovered and shared structural reality.

An awareness of reality that supports all levels of humanity. For all people to be encouraged to move forward and connect with how they perceive their experience of spirituality to be practiced and lived with dignity. That would include people who also consider themselves to be atheists. To respect all beliefs as a right as long as it does not hurt others.

All of this being funneled through the apex of the Yod, the “Finger of God”. Demanding with urgency that we must redefine how we love. That includes how we relate to each other and how we comprehend what we value.

Urgency currently appears to be the sentiment being expressed throughout the collective we all share.

This is being triggered by a universal understanding, a felt sense experienced by many that we cannot continue on as we have. Acknowledging the old patriarchal oligarchy authoritarian way is wholly unsustainable.

In fact as a collective we are in the midst of an awakening. This is due to the way more and more people are becoming aware through being witness to needless tragedies, travesties and heartless destruction.

As a global collective community we are awakening to the need for a shift being stimulated through our evolving consciousness.

Take heart as all of this conscious awareness continues to emerge even as we are moving through the evolving life restorative Waters of Scorpio.

In addition there was the t-square Pluto in Aquarius at 3 degrees formed to the two luminaries, the Sun in Scorpio and the Taurus Moon.

This of course included the other components of the Sun in Scorpio conjunct Venus Rx in Libra in opposition to the Taurus Moon conjunct retrograde Chiron conjunct retrograde Eris in Aries.

To be understood, on one level, as an urgent global energetic deadline. These potent astrological influences serves to apply the needed pressure to bear to quicken our conscious understanding. The gestalt contained within the tension of this t-square stimulated by Pluto in Aquarius at the apex is that the time for the much needed structural shift in our humanity is now.

This reality being brought to our attention through the day to day routines we have established as they relate to comfort, control and survival.

On many levels this t-square can be considered to be a critical gateway towards our evolution as we continue on.

This gateway constellated at the time of the Full Moon in Taurus conjunct Chiron and Eris in Aries. Having imbued this lunation cycle with an awareness of depths of wounding and vulnerability that had the propensity towards outrage.

The energy of the t-square to Pluto in Aquarius stimulated further stress and frustrations. These pressures and discomforts having gotten played out in such a way that what has been held back must be released into conscious awareness. It’s been a profound time to question our relationship to what we value, our financial systems and our physical comfort zones.

Stimulated by the pressure of the square to Pluto in Aquarius, this is a time where we are in the midst of breaking open new possibilities. When the pressures of Pluto are utilized to focus and transform.

Therefore to utilize this moment as a way to release old fears that hinder our awareness of what’s really happening.

Breaking open new ideas and possibilities to replace the concretized definitions of safety. Our awareness and understanding of what comprises dignified humane components of safety and stability are shifting.

This is a time to reflect on what is really going on in our own lives and to those around us. To have the wherewithal within our own being, specifically as we are witness to all the madness and crazy being displayed. To understand such madness as dire symptoms of twisted realities.

We are in the midst of a great collective awakening whereby we are becoming consciously connected to the value of self reclamation. The influence of Pluto in Aquarius. Comprehending self reclamation as a pathway towards collective cooperation and healthy community.

To boldly and assertively ask ourselves what do we really need for inner peace. Which could ultimately serve as a sustainable goal for global peace as well. This is the higher octave of Pluto in Aquarius.

To understand this as part of a greater process triggered by the possibility of an emerging awareness as past relationship along with unresolved patterns seep in. All to bring to our conscious awareness irrelevant agreements that must be reprocessed and let go of.

Pluto in Aquarius at the apex of this t-square brings our focus and attention towards finding new ways to resolve power plays and manipulations. Through allowing all of us to become aware of how we engage in power plays ourselves. We can choose another way.

To integrate the opposing energies of our conscious quests with essential heartfelt needs. This t-square with Pluto at the apex of a Taurus/Scorpio dynamic is a resounding call towards integration of heart/mind and body. To consciously seek to do this in a new ways. Through an evolved use of psychology, theosophy, philosophy and political science.

This is all with the intention to move away from unconscious complacency towards a revitalized curiosity and fascination with healthier ways of being human. Our humanity at the apex of this moment of evolution we are moving through.

All this in order to be centered, grounded and contained in a newly earned trust that supports our self worth and self empowerment. Along with that of all others.

To insure us so that no matter what challenges come our way we have the grace and strength to work it all through. As a global collective of caring compassionate people who honor and respect our humanity and that of others.

All this as we continue on comprehending the presence of the harmonious wind in our sails of the Minor Grand Trine.

This configuration began in June 2024 and will dissipate sometime in 2028-29.

With its ongoing influence of heavy duty outer planets creatively and harmoniously intertwined via Zodiac signs.

The base being Uranus retrograde in Gemini at 4 degrees trine to Pluto in Aquarius at 3 degrees. Forming a sextile to the apex. The apex being Neptune retrograde at 2 degrees Aries conjunct Saturn retrograde at 9 degrees.

To focus and channel the trine of Pluto in Aquarius with Uranus retrograde in Gemini towards the necessary grounding, centering and rebuilding of systems and structures. This funneled through the apex formed through Saturn Rx in Aries which makes room for visions of a new understanding of spirituality, compassion, forgiveness and understanding via its conjunction to Neptune Rx in Aries.

As we are witness to corroded notions of boundaries based on dehumanization tactics born of dire pathologically narcissistic minds. Tactics of the past based on irrelevant systems that do not incorporate the reality that we live in a global reality now. Extreme disparages of wealth are no longer sustainable phenomena in the world we are all in the process of birthing.

So much so tbat we are witness to such antiquated paradigms as billionaires, oligarchs and fascistic authoritarians are being ever so slowly dissolved. Thanks be to Neptune’s influence.

Our global community is becoming aware of the necessity to replace toxic criminal behaviors with new laws. New laws to be adhered to by government officials with integrity, skills and the conviction to govern and fight for we the people.

Hence, this “Magic Triangle”, this minor grand trine can serve to imbue our collective consciousness with a new understanding of spirituality motivated by a collective vision.

It’s influence giving way to an evolutionary flow of creative energies connecting innovative technologies to be implemented slowly as cognitive shifts in our psychological orientation and understanding evolves.

However for all of us to go slowly as indicated by the plethora of retrograde influences.

It is the time for us to reflect and turn inward.

To utilize this moment to review internally how we personally and collectively got to the point we are at now. To reflect on who we are and our vision, design and understanding of where to go from here.

So to recalibrate ourselves moving forward while learning from the past. Then to release the past and move forward, back into present time. From present time to envision the future.

To gestalt meaning through a time of collective shifts. To be done slowly but surely. We must utilize these energies by being consciously aware of them.

Through this extraordinary moment of energies that hold the propensity to trigger vast flashes of mental curiosity with a compassion for ourselves and humanity. Ultimately leading towards a time of much community building.

As we reckon with and reconcile the phantasy and/or reality of grand collective visions. As we become aware of what is really and truly needed for practical and courageous implementation.

Let us see, sense and experience that indeed we are stepping into a new chapter.

As a humanity so in need of remembering our humanity.

There it is for now…..

My apologies for not including in this long past due Full Moon in Taurus post through the signs.

To be included in I hope a timely post on the New Moon in Scorpio on the 9th of November.

The Libra scales of Justice

Written beyond the Aries Full Moon and including the New Moon in Libra which occurred on the 10th of October.

Having said that then let us recall that on September 26, 2026 there had been a Full Moon in Aries

It was @ 3 degrees, @ 12:49 PM ESDT

The Full Moon in Aries illuminated by the Libra Sun was a moment for culminating possibilities.

Mostly it was a moment where we were given the space to become mindful of how balanced or imbalanced we were. Specifically having it mirrored back to us through the lens of the yin/yang opposition of the dynamic Aries/Libra axis.

The intensity of the opposition of the Libra Sun to the Aries Moon was increased through its conjunction to Rx Neptune on one side while being widely conjunct to Rx Saturn on the other. Cooking up a savory sandwich of deep instinctual appetites as the Neptunian influence served to deepen the depths of our capacity to feel. Through which the essence of heart and soul had the potential to have been awakened.

Even when manifesting as a mixed moment of misty cosmic spiritual fog. Especially then, it is when the nebulous Neptune influence emerges.

While subtly opening the door just a slight crack into the shadows of the mysterious. Allowing us to peek into the knowledge of something greater. However, this can only happen if we take a moment to listen.

Then we can solidify our understanding of whatever might be required as Neptune Rx in Aries conjunct Saturn Rx interacts through its integrated oppositional relationship with the Libra Sun.

The subjectivity of the Aries Moon interacting in its opposition to the Libra Sun’s quest for balance can be made manifest through this combination. It’s through the yin/yang of this combination that peace, harmony and balance has the capacity to be found.

Specifically as Saturn in Aries brings the discipline of perseverance to work challenges. It’s the fiery Aries energy that can be utilized to break through old antiquated boulders of defense mechanisms. Motivated by a deep understanding that something has got to give.

The Sun in Libra in its opposition to the Aries Moon stellium accentuates the dire need for truth. This includes justice in adherence to laws designed to keep people safe and our lives in balance.

Albeit, first we must have the ability to shed light on what has been disavowed. Bone chilling honesty is required. In the words of Dr, Carl Jung, “we can’t heal what we don’t feel”. Therefore we must know the truth, it must be brought to light. The clarity of truth serves to restore the balance that has been lost. Then through accountability justice emerges.

The Libra Sun positioned at the apex of the Grand Air Trine serves to anchor the flow of potential influence as intellectual synthesis and conceptual breakthroughs emerge.

Particularly as the influence of Rx Pluto in Aquarius trine to Rx Uranus in Gemini at the base of this equilateral triangle serves to bring attention to issues concerning social justice and the law. All this comes through in an effortless flow. To enable a collective shift of conflictual issues to be explored, discussed and dialogued about.

For example we are witness to this getting played out through the discussions about AI. Necessary discussions which consequently tie in with the reality of our critical and dire need to be transitioning out of fossil fuels.

Ultimately bringing into focus questions about serious existential issues regarding the reclamation of our humanity.

Reclamation of our humanity. This currently is the most significant quest to be acknowledged, understood and dealt with right now. The climate crisis is part and parcel to the existential crisis we are living through here and now as well as globally and all throughout planet Earth.

The concerns about AI brings to bear the required focus concerning the critical and dire need to transition out of fossil fuels into sustainable forms of energy.

This then brings it all back to front row and center of how important the coming Midterm elections are. The necessity to vote into office qualified legislators who will do the people’s bidding. To make sure policies and laws be put into place that supports the lives of all of us. That it cannot be stated explicitly enough. To adamantly work towards electing into offices intelligent, qualified, caring people who will uphold laws that supports the lives of we the people.

This is a time where we are clarifying the need to elect into offices folks with skills, knowledge and care into positions of power. We are talking about people who will uphold the laws. To insure the implementation and application of checks and balances.

The Sun in Libra shines a light on the need for laws to be strictly adhered to.

We must keep progressing and moving forward in order to allow for freedom of speech. This is a requirement for democracy which must be found through respectful dialogue. For balanced human beings even in the midst of conflicts and disagreements we can discuss issues and do the work on how to restructure systems.

Therefore moving forward as the flow of these astrologically harmonious powerful energies intertwine we have the capacity to be focusing on what we want to build into our systems and structures for the long term.

Particularly as situations emerge that require new ways to restructure our social and financial systems. In so doing it must be done in a way that is inclusive for the rights of all people.

In reflection, the harmonious flow of this transit opens our minds and hearts towards new possibilities. New opportunities and choices for all of us as a collective conscious global society.

In other words, it is time to free ourselves from the antiquated trance dance that has brought us to this moment in the first place.

Then we continue on into a New Moon cycle. So it was on October 10, 2026. The Sun had conjunct the Moon at 17 degrees Libra at 11:50:05 AM ESDT.

As with every new Moon, it heralds the beginning of many new opportunities. So it is a time to set new intentions. Keeping in mind that the Libra influence imbues our desires towards balance colored with profound themes of harmony, truth, justice and the law.

Love through partnership has always been a significant component of the Libra pantheon.

Then it was through the energy of the opposition that the New Moon/Sun in Libra conjunction which had formed to Saturn Rx in Aries at 10 degrees that challenges made themselves known. Triggering tension via conflicts through the witnessing of cruelty and injustices that bring to mind questions about the law, truth and justice.

However, it is through the influences of the opposition of the Libra Moon conjunct the Sun to Saturn Rx in Aries conjunct Neptune Rx in Aries that there is a slowing down.

Emerging are reality check challenges. The tedium of which produces delays.

However sometimes even delays may prove to be beneficial. It is good to remember that while moving through moments of challenges one’s faith is being tested.

This is a new beginning cycle where interaction with others is an essential part of the moment via the Libra influence. It is a time where learning the art of diplomacy becomes an essential tool as we continue on.

The opposition to Saturn Rx exudes a sort of heaviness with its serious influence bringing to our consciousness matters concerning personal and political accountability.

In the midst of this there is the misty fog of Rx Neptune in Aries. So we are vaguely aware of this influence catalyzing a transcendent vision. The Aries component in this equation is demanding attention to this matter by evoking a new sort of comprehension on the nature of spirituality.

This occurs through stripping away inherited delusional thinking based on antiquated ideologies and false realities. Realities that are no longer relevant to the world we are living in.

Accentuating the need to face within ourselves personally and collectively the truth that we the people do have the power.

Quoting dear beloved Patti Smith;

“Listen, I believe everything we dream can come to pass through our Union we can turn the world around, We can turn the Earth’s revolution,

People have the power, the power to dream, to rule, to wrestle the world from fools.”

These lyrics express the Rx Saturn conjunct Rx Neptune in Aries pretty well. IMHO.

We are living through a time that invites us to hold with sacred awareness the need to build new solidified structures. Inspired to do so as we find ourselves emerging out of a dissolving shifting landscape.

Moving forward through many challenges, changes and shifts in consciousness requires bone chilling honesty. This applies to ourselves personally and collectively as we continue to assess our experience of reality.

The profound component of this moment in time is how personally and collectively we are learning to relate to others from a place of personal power. We are shedding the antiquated notion of “power over”. No longer relevant or constructive to the new Earth we are in the midst of birthing as a collective consciousness.

Yet to honor and respect with dignity the experience of our limitations as well as the limitations of others. To understand it as a part of the many challenges of life to be learned from and worked with. Not to be judged and/or disavowed.

The motivating intention contained within these astrological planetary influences at this time is to be on our own authentic path. To value the connection we have to our own heart, mind, body and soul. To know, see, sense and experience that, “happiness is always walking right beside us.”

The influence of the Finger of God, aka the Yod in astrology.

Once again moving forward through the passing energies of the New Moon in Libra we can see, sense and experience that there is a profound and inescapable purpose. In part this was what had been evoked through the Yod formation at the actual time of the New Moon.

The Yod is a conglomeration of energies that requires adjustments due to the quincunx angles, as indicated by the accented green lines in the screen shot above.

These minor adjustments are stimulated by the harmoniously intertwined sextile, as indicated by the blue lines. Whereas the focal point to the entire astrological configuration is the pointed finger of what I understand to be the Mysterious Sacred Divine aka God.

This Yod configuration with its many components is composed of complex karmic emotional and intellectual tests of faith. We might find ourselves presented with predicaments and situations that may seem impossible to get through. However the energy of this configuration requires our ability to find the inner strength to work through whatever we are presented with.

At the apex of the Yod we find Venus Rx conjunct Mercury in Scorpio. Guiding our attention inward. It is helpful to remember to utilize the gifts of compassion and empathy in order to understand the meaning of the psychological undercurrents getting churned up. As it may be through the dark investigative waters of Scorpio. Ultimately this is a time to draw our attention to the shadow sides of life.

With Venus Rx involved we might find ourselves looking into the proverbial mirror to reassess our values. That includes our aesthetic tastes along with our relationships. The Scorpio component encourages us to let go of pretense. To let it go in order to connect with the heart and soul of what truly matters most in our lives.

Then with Mercury involved there is a need to communicate deeply and honestly in the service of opening the pathways to our evolution. Always to remember that the “truth shall set you free.”

Profoundly there are two sides to the apex through the base of the Yod. One side being Saturn Rx conjunct Neptune Rx in Aries. This brings our awareness to conflicts having to do with discipline along with concerns regarding antiquated structures. That includes issues concerning boundaries.

While at the same time via the Neptune Rx Aries energy feeling compelled to just surrender and let it all go into the cosmic flow.

Ultimately this is a time to come to terms with who you understand yourself to be now even as who you are is forever in the process of transforming. The profound challenge is to let go of illusions and delusions about past identities. Both positive and negative in order to open into the person who you are now.

The other side at the base of this Yod is the sextile Saturn Rx conjunct Neptune Rx in Aries forms to Uranus Rx in Gemini.

This sextile fearlessly allows for breakthroughs triggered by flashes of sudden insights. The Gemini influence processes through the mind and thoughts. Sudden psychological insights could emerge in order to liberate you from past traumas or misunderstandings.

So the base of this Yod harmoniously serves to bridge the workings of deep spiritual restructuring towards brilliant innovative insights. This aspect can serve to transform the understanding of spirituality itself.

Uranus Rx in Gemini formed in this Yod stimulates a readiness to dismantle and release antiquated rigid beliefs. To release stale brittle ideas in order to make room for evolving higher spiritual truths.

To listen and become aware of new ideas contained within the presence of your own inner being. To embody our power from within.

Then we have the inconvenient energies of the quincunx. On one side Saturn Rx conjunct Neptune Rx in Aries quincunx to Mercury conjunct Venus Rx in Scorpio.

This combination requires patience. What with Aries energy feeling a bit confined by Scorpio energy. Scorpio who just wants to make it all real. To stop, look and own the shadow components lurking beneath the surface. That means gently, if possible, to confront the darkness of our pain in order to own and understand it.

This is the key to transformation. The key to let it all go, after having been processed. Then to open the door to a new life unfolding.

As with the quincunx formed on the other side of the sextile via Uranus Rx in Gemini to the Apex of Mercury conjunct Venus Rx in Scorpio.

This imbues a restlessness which can bring on anxiety. Caused by the influence of Mercury conjunct Venus Rx in Scorpio which has the capacity to subdue the brilliant impulsive creative energy of Uranus. For the sake of guiding Uranus Rx in Gemini to shine its impulsive potentially volatile lightening sparks below the surface. When held underneath the dark investigative waters of Scorpio, Uranian energy shines a light on hidden secrets. Secrets which must be liberated and brought into the light.

This can be interpreted as a time of transforming issues concerning how we communicate person to person and within groups. As well as questions to our self worth along with a conscious awareness of what we value.

Perhaps we are actually moving through a profound karmic loop that we can acknowledge. In so doing, we claim the power to leave that dead end of a karmic loop. To let it go and move into present time. Tasting the luscious experience of self empowerment.

However, do beware of wiseass defensiveness in yourself and others. There is a humility contained within the Yod that serves as a doorway through. Wiseass arrogance blocks the way forward.

Therefore I believe accountability and authenticity are the themes of this moment.

It is said that the ultimate activation key to unlock the genius of the Yod is found in the sign that diametrically opposes the sign on the Apex.

In this case it is Taurus, ruled by Venus. Therefore in order to work productively with the Yod it is helpful to embody the qualities of Taurus. To take the time to be present and ground in nature along with cultivating physical comfort as well as finding joy in simple pleasures. This is the way to harvest self love.

Learn to practice the art of meandering. Allow yourself to slow down and engage with yourself, your life and others in this way.

In so doing the authenticity of your true self is given the space to emerge as we continue on…

Still more to come……

The New Moon in Libra through the signs ~

Aries ~ Time to clarify what your personal drives and ambitions are. Breathe and take the time to acknowledge what really matters to you. Allow yourself the time to put words and actions to the ideals you hold near and dear to your heart. Reflect on the past as a way to let go and move forward into the person you are becoming now.

Taurus ~ A bit of a disturbance of the peace as you are feeling the need to assert yourself. Particularly concerning finances and what matters to you and what you actually require. Take heart, since transiting Mercury conjunct your ruling planet Venus Rx in Scorpio makes articulation come a bit easier. A good time to realize how good it is to be you.

Gemini ~ Enjoy the plethora of harmonious energies igniting your Sun sign now. Allow yourself to be encouraged to try on different versions of yourself in the interest of self discovery. Dream into the self you are becoming with courageous self expression.

Cancer ~ The influence of the planets might be stirring up many contradictory motivations. As you are intending to balance the experience of your relationships remember to be mindful of heavy demands along with delays that emerge. Therefore it is helpful to allow yourself to indulge in creative fun endeavors as well as letting yourself reach out to supportive friends and networks. It can serve to take the pressure off. Utilize this time as a learning curve to stand your ground and assert what you need without sacrificing your integrity.

Leo ~ This season imbues you with heightened listening skills and much social grace. Manifesting as creative work with others. With Jupiter transiting through your Sun sign there is creative confidence and the synchronicity of luck. At the same time situations may arise that are conflictual. Therefore utilize those challenging moments to understand the nature of your own willfulness. Just another growing pain to guide you towards resiliency, diplomacy and the true nature of power.

Virgo ~ A time of reckoning and dealing with what topics and issues are within your reach. Then releasing and letting go of issues that are not. The moment is calling for you to be aware of the ways you have related to others in the past. To then invite and encourage you to transform these ways into an authentic version of who you are now. All is well. Take the time to breathe and care for yourself. Allow yourself to focus on what is within your practical grasp and let go and release what is not.

Libra ~ Take the time you need to gather into yourself as you are in the midst of a period of intricate adjustments. On the one hand your mind, heart and body long for deep true connection. While on the other hand there are external structural pressures along with significant intellectual and social disturbances. Therefore necessitating change and modification in how you show up, speak and relate. Utilize your inherent Libra resource to seek balance and harmony. Even in the midst of cacophonous dissonance.

Scorpio ~ Continuing to do the dance of transformation as old outmoded emotional patterns resurface. Whose sole purpose is to be understood through self awareness then to be reintegrated cohesively. Remember to breathe and take your time within your inner space to reflect on what is going on beneath the surface. To set your intentions on how to honor your true boundaries. Then to release that which no longer serves your growth process.

Sagittarius ~ Some joyful lighthearted energies to imbue you with warmth and confidence. This is a good time to focus on cooperation and diplomacy when embarking on creative collaborations and/or social networking. Even as paradoxical situations emerge, know they are there to test your ability to resolve situations diplomatically. Remember to take your time to slow down enough to listen to quieter truths that could surface. Then move slowly towards resolution.

Capricorn ~ Growing pains abound as you are inspired to shed and release old outmoded ways of being. Take heart, for the space is being made for you to come into full alignment with the integrity of your own true self. Continuing to learn to balance your personal needs with relationship demands.

Aquarius ~ Moving through a time where you are needing to reevaluate your boundaries. That includes being mindful of how you pace yourself, via self assertion and disciplined leadership. Internal accountability is at the heart of the matter. This can result in shifts in outlook, communication styles and how you process information. Take heart, this moment contains a supportive bridge between structural discipline, Saturn, and innovative reform, Uranus. This offers you the space needed to safely implement clever and modern adjustments into your routine. All in the interest of enabling you to fulfill your goals. This is all part of an ongoing transitional phase of recalibration. To be bone chillingly honest with yourself in order to be accountable. To clarify how you find yourself where you are now. In this way you can heal and amend your foundation while integrating conflicting pieces of your inner world.

Pisces ~ Consider yourself to be on a profound evolutionary journey that is a turning point. The point being that the experience of your personal identity is being integrated with the massive collective shifts that are in process even now as I write this. So it is a time where an integration between structured discipline combines with spiritual ideals. Spiritual ideals must be differentiated from illusions and/or delusions to remain grounded and centered in present time. This will enable you to create solidified systems and structures that can incorporate your personal independence, your passions along with pioneering ideas. All this to re evaluate your direction as the outmoded way of identifying yourself is undergoing a significant advancement in your development. An upgrade, if you will.

There it is. I hope these thoughts and ideas are inspiring, insightful and helpful..

just a four letter word….

Our needs which we become aware of through our feelings are the foundation of our life force. Intertwined with the vitality that originates from within our very being.

When we take a moment to tune into this awareness we understand that through perceiving our feelings we can know what it is we need. Then we can set goals based on a comprehension of our needs. Based on awareness of who we really are.

Not who we think we are or who we think we are supposed to be.

Awareness of our needs allows us to become congruent with our selves in relationship to reality. To live fully in present time. Present time, which is the true point of power that is filled with endless possibilities.

This idea aligns with the beginning of the New Moon planetary cycle begun on 7/14/2026. That was when the Sun and Moon were conjunct in the sign of Cancer @ 21 degrees @ 5:43 AM ESDT.

The Sun/Moon Cancer lunation with its predominant focus on feelings and sensitivities brings us back home to an awareness of our emotions. Emotions and feelings to be decoded and translated into guidance through awareness of our needs.

The Cancer New Moon places emphasis on sensitivity as it reflects our vulnerability. This vulnerable interior requires a safe and secure home.

The New Moon conjunct the Sun in Cancer illuminates our need for safety, stability and security best found within ourselves. Then to develop the skills and the wit to be integrated with what we bring to the world.

So when we are able to glean the nourishment, the comfort and the joy of home, it strengthens our resolve to establish security through work, career and whatever goods and services we have to offer the world.

The Moon is the container of our inner most subjective being, our heart and soul’s journey. While the Sun represents our core identity and our conscious ego as we enter into the world.

It’s only currently that in recent times, once again, we are acknowledging that the body and heart tells the truth through awareness of our feelings. Then the feelings get transmitted to our mind.

In truth, in reality our mind is the part of ourselves that translates the feelings. Our mind is Mission Control and as such is a good translator of what our feelings are. This gets conveyed to us through words, thoughts and ideas that come to mind.

The antiquated paradigm we are being disbelieved of, thanks to the Human Potential Movement, is that only certain feelings such as happy and glad are a sacred part of our experience. The mad, sad and scared parts of the spectrum have been considered sinful.

Thanks to an elevation of the feminine principle, we are reclaiming all of our feelings as sacred. All of our feelings contain guidance that enables us to stay connected to our integrity.

So take a moment and become aware of what’s on your mind? In all likelihood it’s a feeling impulse that is being transmitted to your mind.

Speaking of the mind, during this lunation cycle we had Mercury, planet of the mind, retrograde at 19 degrees in Cancer conjunct the Moon conjunct the Sun at 21 degrees Cancer….

This is a moment where we are invited to value the experience of our feeling nature through our minds. It’s a time of mind, heart and body attunement.

Particularly as this stellium is forming a square to Saturn at 14 degrees Aries.

It can be so stressful and frustrating when two disparate signs form a 90 degree angle aka the square, as they do here. However, the possibility contained within this configuration suggests that structures and systems must be developed to support this new beginning we are at the inception of.

So the friction caused by the Saturn in Aries square, much to the chagrin of the Moon/Sun/Mercury retrograde in Cancer, requires action.

In other words, as we are motivated by the need for the comforts of home we are suddenly becoming aware that inclusively it must be done quite intentionally. That it must serve an intentional goal.

The Saturn in Aries component infuses a sense of responsibility, discipline and direction. Acknowledging how the integration of taking care of one’s self and one’s home serves to revitalize our wellness of being. While at the same time it strengthens our sense of purpose and being in the world. Home and caring for one ‘s self is a practice that becomes a ritual of love and joy.

With Saturn in Aries involved it is helpful to become aware of how we are seeding the ground in order to return to the work place, to the market place, to community and to the world.

Saturn in Aries requires disciplined practices that make our connection to our lives real. To do good work and live balanced fulfilling productive lives where we serve each other in a shared reality.

As we continue on with the fascinating influence of Venus at 5 degrees Virgo square to Uranus conjunct Mars in Gemini.

Conventional wisdom indicates that this configuration brings about sudden out of the blue conflicts and stressful situations.

With Venus involved and what with so much Mercurial influences we do come up against conundrums where needs based on feelings do not necessarily jive with projected wants and desires.

Wants, needs and desires produced by external notions in certain metaphysical circles are considered false needs. Therefore some quiet reflection is required to discern what is the real need vs. just a projected desire.

The wisdom of Mick Jagger comes to mind here….

“You can’t always get what you want,

But if you try sometimes,

you just might find.

You get what you need.”

~ The Rolling Stones ~

Venus in Virgo ruled by Mercury suggests a focus on earthbound practical considerations in terms of finances. This includes forethought and deliberation with attention to values that inform decisions concerning finances and relationships.

While Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini can run impulsively rampant. Be wary of such restlessness. As both powerful planets, Mars’s instinctual need to survive along with Uranus’s endpoint of liberation as its action is being motivated by Gemini’s Airy desire to explore everything.

When channeled, through conscious breathing and a relaxed meditative mind, this aspect can stimulate some beneficial discoveries, personally and interpersonally. Perhaps this is the time where better ways of dealing with ways of growing food along with how the exchanges of goods and services occurs is emerging. Particularly with the asteroid Ceres in Gemini as part of the equation.

At any rate, to be mindful that, yes this is an unsettling influence at an unsettling time. Therefore it is helpful to remember to take a beat and breathe. Especially before speaking or taking any rash, impulsive actions. This is not a time for hasty decisions. Delays, in fact may prove to be beneficial.

Therefore, utilize this time as a moment of self reflection to give thought to irrelevant habits, behaviors and relationships that no longer serve you.

This ties in perfectly, (Virgo pun intended), as Venus at 5 degrees Virgo is the apex of the Yod.

The Yod is an isosceles triangle. Two equal sides and one unequal side, which serves as the the base.

The Yod formed at the New Moon in Cancer on 7/14/2026 consisted of Pluto retrograde in Aquarius at 4 degrees sextile, (60 degree angle) to Neptune in Aries at 4 degrees.

This sextile indicates an exciting potential that elicits social change and transformation (Pluto/Aquarius) as facilitated through the vibrant sextile energy of the much needed archetype of the Spiritual Warrior,(Neptune/Aries).

The pointed fated finger component of this configuration is illustrated through how the sextile interconnects with Venus in Virgo at 5 degrees through the quincunx, the 150 degree angle that it forms on both sides.

Venus seeking harmony and balance through diplomacy as well as beauty, love and money. However through the lens of Virgo attention must be paid to matters pertaining to health.

All of these needed and necessary changes can be solidified through the way we go about the sacred connection to our daily lives.

In a sense this is an encouraging formation that signifies how there is much power in showing up with gratitude for the day to day. To be mindful of the power of the how potent the extraordinary truly exists so simply and humbly within the ordinary.

We can also tie in the symbolism of the Pisces/Virgo Nodal Axis in the midst of its getting ready to ingress to Aquarius/Leo. The Nodal Axis at this writing, on 7/18/2026, is currently at 0 degrees Pisces. So here we are in the transition as it shortly gets ready to shift to Aquarius/Leo on the 26th of July.

So this moment invites us to reflect on the lessons from the past, through valuing and honoring with respect, acts of service. While the resonance of the Pisces North Node reminds us of how we are all interconnected through understanding, compassion and mercy. To not drown in delusion but rather to be humbled by the mystery of it all.

So it seems with Venus in Virgo, the pointed Finger of Fate is guiding us back to the rhythms that restore balance to the day to day. As we process making the much needed and necessary adjustments required through the powerful shifts in consciousness through new paradigms emerging.

Even as we move through the chaotic instability of the rumblings of old antiquated paradigms being gutted via compliments of Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto. Pluto itself can be interpreted as the “ demolition crew” albeit in service of clearing the way to make way for the new. That new relevant way being Aquarian ideals of an egalitarian society where democracy is practiced with integrity.

So keep feeling, keep allowing yourself to be aware of your needs. As we all must keep seeking and acknowledging the truth. So shall we all continue on.

Let us ,” take a sad song and make it better.” As Paul McCartney sings in his beautiful song, “Hey Jude”.

Dear readers, due to some Uranus-like disruptions that occurred during the writing of this piece, it became quite delayed.

What I understand of this cycle we are in that is supported by my studies, thoughts, reflections and ideas about the New Moon Cancer lunation on 7/14/2026, is here.

Stay tuned for the Full Moon in Aquarius post on 7/29/2026. This will include this lunation cycle through the signs. I look forward to studying the Barbault Basket through all of your signs.

Emerging from the midsummer Cancer Solstice on the 21st of June to the Full Moon in Capricorn on the 29th of June.

During the Moon’s opposition to the Sun at 8 degrees Cancer at 7:56 PM ESDT we got to witness the beauty of these two luminaries in all of the Moon’s Capricorn brightness.

The Full Moon in Capricorn in opposition to the Sun as it moves through Cancer has the propensity to be enchanting. Specifically at such a time as we are living through now.

This Sun/Moon opposition requires balance to be found between who we are in the world versus the inner being of our private subjective self.

To be aware of our public persona versus our protected soulful self.

The private part of ourselves that requires the comforts of home for refueling.

No matter who we are in the world, whether it be in public or in our community through our work and our accomplishments. We must return home. We must have a home to return to.

This Cancer Sun/Capricorn Moon opposition brings to mind Jung’s “creatura”. The primal component of our being contained within our human need to be integrated within the safety and stability of the confines of home.

Or vice versa….Brings to mind the question of what came first?

Can there be the establishment of one who is a gainfully employed member of society before ever having the sacred safety of a nurturing home?

In actuality they both work best when they work synchronistically together. Ideally to be born into circumstances where the environment is safe, stable and secure. With a sense of love and connection steeped in guidance that supports healthy development to have healthy balanced relationships supported through good right work.

Equipped with prior guidance and education that enables one to move into the world and towards the execution of right work in a healthy way. This is the influence that Capricorn brings. Its brooding drive for ambition enables movement towards the attainment of qualifications that grants elevated positions.

To then provide the financial stability required to maintain the needed security. All this through doing meaningful work that in turn supports others.

In reality we cannot have one without the other. The Yin/Yang of Cancer provides the nurturing resources required. To then be utilized in order to fortify sovereign somber Capricorn to have the wherewithal to climb to the top of the metaphorical mountain.

The Capricorn Moon touches the heart and soul with the necessity to be able to participate in society. As much as Capricorn is nourished by its somber need for solitude, the bones of its being is earthbound to its commitments and responsibilities. It is motivated by a give and take where necessary income must be earned. The soulful resonance of Capricorn is to offer something of value in order to receive well earned compensation for useful services rendered.

This brings us back to what ultimately fulfills and integrates the tension of the opposition of the Capricorn Moon to the Cancer Sun.

The integration occurs when at the end the day we return to that private sacred place we call home.

A place to refuel. A place to heal and nurture ourselves as we keep on.

Capricorn Moon in opposition to the Sun in Cancer is a time to take stock of our lives. It’s time to set realistic goals.

Cancer Sun energy requires balance and stability for security. While Capricorn Moon resonates with the focus and administration of work required to get things done.

The Full Moon in Capricorn in its opposition to the Sun in Cancer forms a t-square to the Neptune/Saturn conjunction in Aries.

The configuration above indicates this Capricorn Full Moon is charged with dynamic conflict. The kind of conflict that elicits a necessary sort of tension forcing into consciousness some kind of understanding and resolution.

In opposition to the Sun in Cancer we have the influence of the Capricorn Moon’s emphasis on public duty and obligations. Motivated by ambition with a focus on purposefully climbing up the mountain towards success and attainment. All this through disciplined perseverance and consistent practice.

Through the T-square we can also be mindful of imagining the presence of the influence of Libra at 8 degrees. It is there as a component that transforms the T-square into a Grand Square to complete the equation.

The “silent presence” of Libra brings to mind the desire for balance. To remember that through diplomacy and collaborative relating we bring components of harmony to ease tension. To make room for a way to question and transform the Capricorn isolated over exertion into sensible meaningful actions that amounts to something.

It’s always reassuring to call on the energy of Libra when possible to soften the moment.

With Saturn as the ruling planet of this Full Moon and at the Apex of the T-square the need to stay focused in reality is inherent.

This t-square could evoke the sort of fear that comes when one’s motives and integrity are in question. However this can be balanced out by tapping into courage available through the influence of Saturn transiting through Aries.

This is just one of many moments ahead where we are in the process of developing faith in our selves along with trusting the process of life itself.

Then with the concentration of energies that Saturn’s conjunction with Neptune brings to the mix, there is the possibility of some heightened anxiety.

However through being mindful and staying grounded in mundane reality we can navigate through the fog of Neptune’s Cosmic flow. To avoid being seduced into illusions and false hopes. That becomes the focus of this moment we are moving through. With our humanity intact as we stay focused in order to navigate effectively.

To enter into the creative components of Neptune in Aries. We must remember that when we focus with high intentions we manifest the power of the Neptunian elements of understanding through compassion. Transiting through Aries, Neptune evokes the Spiritual Warrior within all of us.

We must relax, meditate and breathe into the moment. In order to release the anxiety and fear that comes when our vulnerability emerges.

To manage the heightened anxiety when we allow ourselves to imagine that our dreams and desires could actually be granted. To be mindful of being present with love and non attachment so we may surrender to what is being granted. To accept that which we cannot change and understand the divine guidance held within the circumstances granted to us.

To then accept with elegant humility that our wishes, dreams and desires are real, it’s just that we must work for their manifestation. This is the purpose of clarifying what our wants, needs and desires are. That is the influence of Saturn in this configuration.

This Full Moon in Capricorn with all of its Cardinal influence has the potential to be a catalyst for the metamorphoses this time calls for. So hang in there as we continue on….

Jupiter 29 degrees Cancer conjunct Mercury retrograde 26 degrees Cancer in opposition to retrograde Pluto at 4 degrees Aquarius.

This configuration influences our awareness of deep psychological tensions concerning our need for emotional security. It is evoked through the opposition of Jupiter conjunct Mercury retrograde in Cancer to retrograde Pluto in Aquarius. Keep,in mind that this oppositional combination catalyzes frequent transformational shifts.

In order to navigate this moment with care and efficiency, remember to take your time. Remember to breathe before responding. This is specifically necessary when you feel yourself being emotionally triggered.

This is a time to learn to trust yourself and your innate instincts in order to navigate through this ongoing moment of tense transformation.

Pluto in Aquarius forms a trine to Uranus conjunct Mars in Gemini both of which are sextile to Neptune conjunct Saturn in Aries.

The configuration of outer planets linked together in harmonious and creative angles is a growth space of evolutionary proportions. It activates in order to facilitate a comprehensive understanding that opens our minds and hearts to allow shifts in consciousness to occur. Evolution continues on…..

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius demands that we reflect on our current structures in society. This can occur through our interconnection with networks along with an awareness of our need for our own personal freedom.

All the while being mindful that Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini generates powerfully charged mental energy. To channel its frenetic overwhelm of ideas as the keys to break free from intellectual inertia and stagnation of the mind and body.

The trine it forms to Pluto retrograde in Aquarius creates the flow of much needed systemic reform. Providing endless possibilities of brilliant innovative swift actions to occur.

Opening the path towards an easy harmonious flow of divine disruptive seeded ideas with the potential to provide solutions that could bring about beneficial outcomes. For the many not the few, which is the Aquarian way.

All channeled and flowing through the creative sextile the trine forms to Neptune conjunct Saturn in Aries, at the apex of this configuration. In a sense this conjunction provides the needed guidance of the proverbial “rider on the horse”. To thus demand a responsible pacing of bold new beginnings.

Solutions begin to become the trend in this way. The influences of these planetary configurations along with awareness of current events ignites the motivation needed in order to convert theoretical breakthroughs into tangible, courageous and structured real world democracy governed by caring good leadership.

However, this is not a done deal. A commitment to consciously do the work is a mandatory requirement. The sextile that the trine of Pluto retrograde in Aquarius forms to Uranus conjunct Mars in Gemini demands that innovative and intellectual ideas must be solidified into actions. Actions that can then become a part of tangible reality.

On a personal and collective level we are being called to channel and focus the overwhelming flow of so much input and stimulation. Brought to us through so many factors.

So to breathe, relax and focus.

This is the time to remember that we do have the capacity and wherewithal to set goals. In this way we plan step by step actions that are able to support the creation of the society for the world we want to live in.
