Cosmic Correspondence – New Moon, Jupiter Shifts Signs…

There’s so much going on in November 2018.  I’ll briefly touch on some things that are important, but I want my focus to be on the New Moon and on Jupiter.

Uranus will retrograde back into Aries until March 2019.  Of course, it all depends on where Aries is in your chart. If you are a Libra sun for example, then Aries is in your seventh house of partnerships and relationships. So you’ve probably been going through some significant change.  And they were probably sudden and unexpected.  Uranus will go back into Taurus from March 2019 until 2025.  And then the focus will be on value and our relationship with money and luxury.

The moon nodes are also shifting from Leo/Aquarius to Cancer/Capricorn.  Moon nodes are location points on the moon – north and south. And they shift every 18 months. They’re about karma and karmic lessons and lessons from past lives.  If you’re a Cancer or Cap, the next 18 months may feel fated, or have some strong karmic lessons for you.

But what I want to talk about is the new moon in Scorpio on November 7, 2018. New moons are all about new beginnings. An ideal time to set forth an intention and to allow the universe to help manifest it into reality.  And Scorpio is the most intense sign of the zodiac. So if it’s something you feel very strongly about or if you want to begin something that is, well…intense, this is a great time to do it.

This new moon is also in a nice aspect/placement to Neptune and Pluto.  The Neptune aspect will make the new moon (and the few days before and after the lunation) have a magical, day dreamy quality to it.  Like a fantasy.  No complaints there.  Pluto is hanging around to help add a little stability to all of this.

And Jupiter is also shifting signs.  Jupiter has been in Scorpio for the past 13 months and he will move on to Sagittarius for the next 13 months.  Jupiter isn’t at ease in Scorpio.   My guess is Scorpio is just too intense for Jupiter.   But Jupiter rules Sagittarius. So it’s like visiting your aunt and uncle you see once every 5 years somewhere across the country and you can’t sit on the furniture or put the glass on the table unless there’s a coaster (because it will leave a mark….heaven help us all). And going home to your own parent’s house. Or, your own house. Where you can go in the fridge and eat whatever you want and put your feet on the furniture.

Jupiter is a giver. The benefic of the skies.  Where Jupiter is,  he brings gifts, luck, expansion and growth.  Sagittarius people should be loving the next 13 months.  Jupiter usually transits a sign a year or so after Saturn goes through.  So it’s like the universe tests you with Saturn and then blesses you for your putting up with it with Jupiter.  It all evens itself out.  The universe has an amazing way of keeping things in balance.

We’re in the middle of a Venus retrograde. She will go direct around November 16. But just as she moves forward, Mercury will start to retrograde.  The one thing these two retrogrades have in common (other than they are relatively quick transits, because they are inner planets) it’s that they can bring exes back into our lives. People returning.  So be mindful of that. I’m not saying it’s good or bad exactly…just be mindful of it.  And  if nothing else, just wait until these two retrogrades are over with. See if the ex (or person) remains. If they do, the relationship (or friendship or partnership) may have some longevity to it.

Having said that, we kick off 2019 with eclipses.  Starting a new year with things being eclipsed out.  It will be interesting to see how that year progresses. And if you think about it, maybe that’s not a horrible way to start a new year.  To start it getting rid of the things that no longer serve us or help us on our soul evolution.   Eclipses are pretty powerful, though.  Like a full moon (also an ideal time for endings and closure) on steroids.

Let’s just welcome in this New Moon in Scorpio and Jupiter going home for 13 months.  Those two things will benefit all of us in some way in our lives.  It’s time to be open to receive blessings and new beginnings…

Be open to what calls you…

Cosmic Correspondence – New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo, Venus semi square Mercury, Mercury Retrograde, Sun in Virgo

A lot of energy going on around us. The most significant is the New Moon Solar Eclipse in the late degrees of Leo on August 21.   A fire sign, associated with self and “me.”  In contrast with Aquarius (where the south node is) who is more associated with the group and with “us.”   That opposition between self and other.

New Moons carry with them a lot of energy anyway.  Good times to start things, begin anew.  But when it is eclipsed by the moon…the energy is magnified.  It is a significant time of doors closing…so that other doors can open.  Instead of fearing that change (and that closure)…try to embrace it and welcome it.  Because on the other side of this eclipse is new, fresh energy.  The universe is always guiding us to where we need to be. Even if we can’t see it or understand it in the moment.  So be open to where you’re being led to go.

There’s a semi square between Mercury and Venus on August 20.  This can be tension and conflict with communication in relationships. A feeling of being misunderstood.  Be patient with this. Because there’s a trine between Venus and Chiron on August 23/24.  So healing is there within relationships.

Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Virgo, presently. He will go direct on September 5.  Communication problems, and delays with travel may occur now.  It’s not a good time to buy expensive things, or to sign important documents or contracts. Wait, if you can, until the second week of September.

The Sun will move from Leo into Virgo on August 22 – the day after the eclipse.   Virgo is a stable, gentle earth sign.  Known to be sometimes concerned with particulars and specifics.  So the details of our lives (day-to-day details, or details on a larger scale) may become things we are focused on. Not necessary a bad thing.  With the shift that the eclipse is bringing, it may be a good idea to spend some time working through the finer points of our lives.

A lot of shift…a lot of change. There’s usually a tendency to fear change. We sometimes associated change with giving up something. Losing something.  But that’s not always the case. And sometimes, change can bring things to us. Give us things.  The universe is encouraging us all to grow and shift and the energy with the eclipse promises to do that. For all of us, in some area of our lives.

The Space Between Eclipses – August 2017

We are currently in a space between eclipses. August 2017 will see two. We say a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius on August 7/8. And we’re going to see a New Moon Solar Eclipse in the late degrees of Leo on August 21/22.

Full Moons are a completion of a cycle. They complete things. Culmination, accomplishment.   New Moons are a good time to start a cycle.  To begin things.  The space between….well, it’s sometimes referred to as a portal.  This can be a portal to a heightened sense of spirituality. It can also be (speaking honestly) a time of general weirdness. A lot of shifting energy. Full Moons and New Moons carry a lot of energy with them anyway. Add to that eclipse energy and they’re like Full and New moons on steroids.

So be gentle with yourself during this time.  Expect there to be a lot of shift and transformation.  And as with most shift and transformation, it may not be comfortable. That’s okay. We are all being affected by this astrology.  Best to accept it and be open to go where the universe guides you.  If some doors need to close, let them close. If it’s time to start a new chapter or turn the page…welcome that opportunity.

It’s all about growth. And growth comes with resistance and sometimes pressure and struggle.  But it’s growth that propels us forward and helps us to be the best version of ourselves we can be. That’s nothing to shy away from.  Welcome it.

Be open to what calls you…
