The Sun / Moon Opposition

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon are exactly 180° apart forming an opposition. As you can see from the chart above the Sun is at 8­° Aries and the Moon is at 8° Libra making this a Full Moon. An opposition is a type of aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet is at odds with the energy or urge of another planet. You feel like someone is doing something to you and you feel powerless to do anything about it. 

Me vs. We 

When the Sun in Aries makes an opposition to the Moon in Libra our urge to assert ourselves, to be aggressive, pioneering, and adventurous is at odds with our urge to be more considerate of others, to exercise diplomacy, and to keep the peace. 

The Full Libra Moon 

Whereas a New Moon brings new opportunities and new beginnings, a Full Moon brings completion and endings. With the Full Moon transiting the area of our charts that rules over marriage, agreements, and partnerships the urge to assess our relationships becomes a priority. We must decide if we are getting what we need out of our relationships, but more importantly are we giving our partners what they need as well.  If a compromise, or balance, cannot be achieved then it may be time to end the relationship to make room for something better. If you are single, the Full Moon in Libra can possibly bring new opportunity to make a connection with someone else and enjoy greater intimacy. 

How to Work with Full Moon in Libra Energy

•  practice more compromise and diplomacy 
•  surprise your partner with a special "date night". 
•  socialize with friends, have a party. 
•  indulge in a sensuous meal (but don't over do it!) 
•  see a play, concert, or show 
•  get in touch with your inner artist by exploring music, dance, writing, or art as a hobby. 
•  air out the house; redecorate your home (at least declutter or re-arrange furniture) 
•  buy a new outfit or get a makeover (even if it's just a blow-out at the hair salon) 
•  spending time outside enjoying the sun and a glass of wine or simply gardening. 

Personal Aspects 

Finally, you will want to look at any aspects formed between the Full Moon in Libra and any placements in your birth, or natal, chart. Let us suppose that you have Uranus in 21° Libra. This would mean that the Full Moon at 8° Libra is separating a conjunction to your Natal Uranus, that is they are moving father away from each other.  Let us break it down. 

Transit Moon + conjunct +  Natal Uranus 

I Feel + blends with +  I Rebel

When the full moon makes a conjunction with Natal Uranus you feel more spontaneous and unpredictable. You resist any restraints that may be put on you. New and unexpected things happen to you. 

How will the Full Moon in Libra manifest for you? 

Venus in Aries 2021

Venus in Aries (General)

When Venus is in Aries, emotions expressed more aggressively so people are generally more affectionate and extravagant. However, Venus is said to be in detriment in Aries that is, its energy is diminished. So whereas people are more affectionate they may not be so lucky in the area of love and romance. 

Transit Aspects

Transit Venus is making a conjunction with the Transit Sun, and they will be exact on March 25th.  This can be a good time for love and romance.  

How Venus in Aries Affects You

Venus in Aries can manifest as aggressive and fearless expressions of love and attraction. You can either be the aggressor or the object of such assertiveness.  Finally the house that the planet transits will determine where this energy will manifest in your life. In order to determine the house that Venus in Aries is transiting you look at your birth chart and determine what house aligns with Aries. For example. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Aries is your 1st  House  
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Aries is your 12th House 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Aries is your 11th House
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Aries is your 10th House 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Aries is your 9th House
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Aries is your 8th House
• If your rising sign is Libra, Aries is your 7th House 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Aries is your 6th House 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Aries is your 5th House
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Aries is your 4th House 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Aries is your 3rd House 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Aries is your 2nd House

Example

Venus in Aries and the 6th House 

I love + I Am + health and work 

Venus (I Love) in Aries (I AM) in the 6th house of health and work can manifest as assertive expressions of love and attraction and this would likely take place in your workplace. Again, you could be the aggressor or the object of another person's interest. You could meet someone through your work or it could be a co-worker. However, with Venus being in detriment in Aries things could just be off or it could not be the right time and so things are not likely to work out. 

The sixth house is naturally aligned with Virgo and so you will not fall for anyone too easily. You may adopt the same attitude towards romantic relationships that you take to finding a job.  You may find yourself being critical of anyone who shows interest in you, assessing them to determine that they pass your inspection and meet your criteria. 

Since the 6th house rules over health and work, this can be a period of time in which you are more energetic and impatient in terms of how you do your work and go about your daily routine. You can also renew your effort to get healthier by giving more attention, interest, and energy to your diet and exercise routine. 

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, Venus at 0° Aries is applying a square to my Saturn at 3° Cancer. A square is a type of aspect in which creates tension between the urges of two planets. Since the slower planet usually makes the greater impact on the faster planet, let us break it down like so. 

Natal Saturn Square Transit Venus 

I achieve + tension + I love 

Saturn casts a gloomy mood over Venus, and you can be more cynical about love now. However, Saturn can also let you see your relationships more as they are and less than the way you want them to be. If you have a partner, communication with him or her can be difficult now and you may find yourself having arguments or disagreements. This may be necessary, however, to air your respective grievances so that they can be dealt with and not allowed to fester. Venus just wants to have relax, have fun, and be comfortable but with Saturn making a square to it you may not be able to feel relaxed or comfortable. You may feel that you have too many responsibilities. You'll have to put in more of an effort to get along with anyone who can hold your accountable for your obligations and responsibilities.

The Sun in Aries 2021

 

The Sun in Aries 

3/20/21 2:37 AM 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Sun in Aries (General) 

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and so it deals with beginnings and renewal. The ingress of the Sun into Aries marks the transition from Winter to Spring so this is a great time of beginnings of all kinds.  When the Sun is in Aries, people are generally more bold, restless, and enterprising.  They are more inclined to explore, to be contrary, and to be stubborn. 

How the Sun in Aries Affects You

In order to determine the house that the Sun in Aries is transiting you look at your birth chart and determine what house aligns with Aries. The house where the Sun is transiting is the area of life where you will feel bolder, more energetic, and aggressive. For example. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Aries is your 1st  House  
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Aries is your 12th House 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Aries is your 11th House
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Aries is your 10th House 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Aries is your 9th House
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Aries is your 8th House
• If your rising sign is Libra, Aries is your 7th House 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Aries is your 6th House 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Aries is your 5th House
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Aries is your 4th House 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Aries is your 3rd House 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Aries is your 2nd House

Example

Sun + Aries + 6th House 

The Sun (I am) in Aries (Self ) in the 6th house of health, work, and your daily routine will manifest as aggressive confidence regarding your day to day work and / or health. You feel healthier and may take steps to improve or refine your diet or exercise routines. You have more energy for exercise and your physical activity in general can see an increase.

Your focus now is also on your work and you want to do a good job. You take more pride in the work that you do. Your ego is tied up in your work, when you don't meet or exceeds your own expectations you feel bad about yourself. However, when you feel you do a great job you feel really good about yourself. Now is a good time to organize your work space for optimum efficiency as well as to improve your work skills.  

Aspects

Aspects, or relationships between planets, is another dimensions of astrological interpretation that should be considered. In this case we would look at the aspects between the transit Sun in 0° Aries and those planets in your natal chart. 

For example, let us say that you have Saturn in 3° Cancer, which is 93­° away from the Sun at 0° Aries making it a square. A square is a type of aspect in which the energy of one planet is creating tension with the energy or urge of another planet. 

Transit Sun + Square +  Natal Saturn  =  I am creates tension with I achieve. 

With the transit Sun (identity) making a square to Saturn (discipline), you may feel more undisciplined and lack control over yourself. You may feel more insecure and question yourself to the point that you don't feel comfortable making decisions for yourself (especially important ones).  You will need to take steps to overcome feelings of not being "enough". 

Where is Aries in your Natal Chart and how will the Sun in Aries manifest for you?

Mercury in Pisces 2021

 

Mercury in Pisces 

3/15/21  3:26 PM 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Mercury in Pisces (General) 

Mercury is said to be in detriment in Pisces. A planet is in detriment when a planet is in the sign opposite of it's rulership. Mercury rules Virgo (and Gemini) and Pisces is six signs away (or opposite) Virgo. Detriment is a term that describes the condition of a planet in a sign. When a planet is in detriment it means that a planet is cut off from it's resources and will have to adapt in order to reach it's full potential. The keyword for detriment is diminished. 

Mercury is the planet of the mind. It is all about logic, our thinking, and communication. Pisces, being a water-sign, is emotionally based, dreamy, and intuitive.  So when Mercury is in Pisces, our thoughts are at odds with our emotions. You may feel caught up in your feelings. Communication proves to be more difficult. You can be more sensitive at this time and and find yourself being ruled by your emotions. You may also find yourself in danger of emotional outburst in which you blurt our your feelings without stopping to consider what you are saying. 

The upside to Mercury in Pisces is that you can use this energy to get in touch your with your feelings and emotions. Your imagination is enhanced and you can be more creative and artsy at this time. This is also a good time to practice and refine your intuitive faculties. If you are interested in any metaphysical subjects such as Astrology and Tarot, this is a good time to start learning. 

Where Pisces falls in your Natal Chart is the area of life where you will have vague, romantic, and intuitive thoughts. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Pisces is your 12th House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Pisces is your 11th House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Pisces is your 10th House. 
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Pisces is your 9th House. 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Pisces is your 8th House. 
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Pisces is your 7th House. 
• If your rising sign is Libra, Pisces is your 6th House. 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Pisces is your 5th House. 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Pisces is your 4th House. 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Pisces is your 3rd House. 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Pisces is your 2nd House. 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Pisces is your 1st House. 

Example 

Mercury + Pisces + 5th House 

I have romantic thoughts about love 

Mercury in Pisces and the 5th house of love, children, and creativity manifests as vague, romantic thoughts regarding love and romance. The mind can become clouded by feelings of love and romance with this placement making the native susceptible to deception by others, especially those that he or she cares about. You are more sensitive and have trouble defining not only your feelings but the feelings and emotions of those around you. 

Nonetheless, the fifth house rules creativity (including our hobbies) and with Mercury transiting the fifth house you can more easily attune yourself to your own sense of creativity. Your hobbies bring your more satisfaction, you (re)discover yourself as an artist and visionary. You are more social and want to have more fun. The fifth house also rules over children -- if you are a parent conversations with your children can be deeper and more loving.  In terms of love, Mercury transiting the fifth house can portend meeting a romantic interest through the internet (mercury rules communication) and that he or she could either be younger than you (in age) or simply young at heart.

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets, is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, in my own chart Transit Mercury at 0° Pisces is applying a Trine to my Natal Venus at 2° Scorpio. A trine is a type of aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet is supportive of the urge of another planet. Since the slower planet usually has the greater affect on the faster planet we would read this as Natal Venus Trine Transit Mercury. Let's break it down ...

Venus Trine Mercury 

I Love supports I Think

Venus making a trine to Mercury increases your charm and attractiveness. You can capture the attention and interest of others but it may be harder to keep id because you can be less disciplines now. If you have something important to say or do that will require the assistance of others, this is the time to make sure that there is substance to your words and deeds. 

Ruler of the House 

Now we give consideration to the Ruler of the House. In Astrology,  Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo.  The houses that Gemini and Virgo fall in your Natal Chart are the houses that will be affected by the transit of Mercury through Pisces. 

For example, in my own natal chart Virgo is in the 11th House. In this case, it is said that the Ruler of the 11th house is in the 5th house (because Pisces is n my 5th house).  What this means is that the activities of the 11th house support the urge of the 5th house. This could be interpreted as friends, associates, and groups support love, creativity, self expression and children. Finally, we can expand on this statement using our keywords and say something like you feel more creative when you are workign with like minded people, working with others helps bring out your talents and allows you to expressive your creativity. You could meet someone special through your friends or through a group of like minded people, while working for a cause, or a friend could become a lover.

New Moon in Pisces 2020

 

New Moon in Pisces 

3/13/21  2:21 AM 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

When the Moon is in Pisces people are more sensitive to the prevailing psychic undercurrents of their environment and people around them.  They may also be more apt to associate with shady individuals or those who are handicapped. This usually manifests as a more altruistic, humanitarian, or emphatic outlook towards others.  The bad side of this a tendency to be too self-sacrificing. People generally have lofty dreams and goals.   

The House is Where it Happens

The Astrological House in which the New Moon occurs in your Natal Chart gives an indication of the area of life activated by the New Moon and where you can expect to see the energy of the New Moon in Pisces to play out. Since the March New Moon occurs in 23° Pisces, you would look at your Natal, or Birth Chart to ascertain in what House 23° Pisces occurs.  

The Twelve Houses of Life 

1. The self, ego, appearance, initiative, leadership, fresh starts and new beginnings. 
2. Money and material matters.  Your physical environment, income, money, and your sense of self-esteem. 
3. Communication in all its forms (thinking, writing, speaking, etc... ) as well as siblings, local travel, teachers and community events. 
4. Home, privacy, your basic sense of security, your mother, children, and your own ability to nurture others.
5. Creative expression, drama, attention, love, and romance. 
6. Health and service to others. Your routine, diet, exercise and helpfulness to others. 
7. Marriage, partnerships, and relationships of all kinds.  Contracts, business deals, etc... 
8. Birth, death, sex, other people's money and property. 
9. Expansion, the higher mind, foreign matters (languages, cultures, travel) luck, adventure, risk, philosophy, ethics and morals. 
10. The public, fame, honors, reputation, awards, boundaries, rules, discipline, authority, the father. 
11. Groups of people such as friends and associations, networking, social justice.  Originality, sudden unexpected events, invention, surprises, and all things futuristic.
12. Endings. Completion, tying up loose ends, old age, karma, making amends, and the afterlife. Imagination, creativity, poetry, and the subconscious mind. 

A Practical Example 

New Moon in Pisces and the 5th House 

With the New Moon in the fifth house you are more sensitive and it is harder for you to hide your feelings from those around you.  If you are in a relationship, you may experience deeper and more intense feelings for your lover or partner.  You may experience a certain obsession and possessiveness for your lover. Alternately, it is also possible that focus on your own feelings at the expense of the feelings of those around you. 

The moon brings the instinct to mother, or nurture, others and the 5th house rules over children. With the moon transiting the 5th house you may experience the desire to take care of others in a parental or mothering manner -- in fact you can be quite overprotective. It is important that your efforts to protect another person does not keep them from assuming responsibility for their own thoughts, words, and deeds. 

How to Work with New Moon in Pisces Energy 

Even if you don't know your astrological sign, you can still work with New Moon in Pisces with the following activities: 

• take a digital detox by avoiding social media, email, or spending time on your cell phone
• start a dream journal, study your dreams for messages 
• try writing some poetry or just put your thoughts to paper 
• make a collage or mandala of your dreams 
• study your natal chart; transits, lunar return, or solar return chart
• engage in spiritual bathing; go for a swim, relax in a hot tub. 
• get a psychic reading (tarot, astrology, bone reading, etc... ) 
• start a meditation practice; visualize your goals; write an affirmation 
• engage in spiritual pursuits (journaling, yoga, affirmation, spiritual bathing etc...) 
• schedule a therapy session with a qualified therapist;
• practice self care 
• learn to set boundaries 

How will you observe the Pisces New Moon?
