People are generally more interested in romance and socializing and can get caught up in the game of love.

It is possible that you could meet someone through your career.  

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets is a another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, let us suppose that you have Natal Moon in 29° Aries. This would mean that Transit Venus in 0° Leo is forming a square to your Natal Moon. A square is a type of aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet is squaring off against the energy or urge of another planet. When Transit Venus Square your Natal Moon you have a tendency to be lazy and self-indulgent. If partnered, you may feel that something is a bit off with your relationship which you have difficulty defining. This may be a period in which you splurge too much on items for your home because spending money softens the emotional unease you are experiencing. 

How will the ingress of Venus in Libra manifest for you?

Neptun Retrograde 2021

Neptune Retrograde 

6/25/21  12:21 PM PDT

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Neptune Retrograde in Pisces  (General) 

Neptune is the modern ruler of Pisces, so it is at home in this sign. Neptune stations retrograde about once a year and it lasts for about 5-6 month each time. Neptune will station retrograde on 6/25/21 in 23°11' Pisces and will not station direct again until 12/1/21 in 20°24' Pisces 

Neptune is the planet of illusions and refinement. When it is moving direct, Neptune can make it seem like we are looking at everything through a fog or as if underwater. However, when Neptune stations retrograde those illusions are shattered and we begin to see things as they really are not as we wish them to be nor as others would have us believe. 

When retrograde Neptune transits Pisces, the illusions we have about our spirituality and beliefs are shattered and we see clearer than we have before. This is a time when we can see how our beliefs about spirituality, art, dreams, intuition, psychic ability, healing, etc... have limited us or prevented us from moving forward. An example of this could be along the lines of breaking up with a romantic partner and calling is self-care or healing rather than confronting relationship issues and trying to address, repair, or heal them. 

The house where Pisces falls in your natal-chart represents the area of life where Neptune in Pisces will be felt. 

• 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 

Neptune in Pisces and the 5th House 

Neptune RX in the 5th house brings clarity and vision which is expressed through one's sense of creativity. Now is a good time to take up a new creative hobby or revisit an old one. You can channel this energy and creative vision into anything that is considered an "art" such as drawing, painting, sculpting, cooking, decorating, etc... The fifth house also rules over love and romance so if you've been idealizing your romantic partner (or even romantic relationships in general) then this could be a time when those rose-colored glasses come off and you see your partner for who or what they really are. 

Aspects 

Neptune is classified as a generational planet meaning that it moves so slowly that changes are generally so subtle as to be unnoticeable -- unless Neptune makes any major aspects to your natal planets. Again, because Neptune moves so slowly any aspects it makes to your natal planets can last for many years, which gives them great importance.

For example, in my own chart, Neptune is applying an opposition to my Natal Sun. Normally, this is a not a good time to change your life in any significant way. This could be a time when you feel confused, lethargic, and indecisive. However, since Neptune is retrograde, he brings clarity, energy and confidence to your personality. There is the possibility that you could meet someone, perhaps a mystic or teacher, who guides you in some profound way.

Full Moon in Capricorn

 

Full Moon in Capricorn 

6/27/21  11:40 AM PDT 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon occupy the same degree of opposite signs of the zodiac.  As you can see from the chart above, the Moon is at 3° Capricorn and the Sun is at 3° Cancer forming an opposition creating a dynamic of challenging one another; something is being split or divided.

The Big Picture

Capricorn rules over our careers, ambition, profession, who you are in public. When the Full Moon is in Capricorn, people are more interested in their own careers, and their own path to success. They want their work to not only be noticed but rewarded as well. It is important now that they are able to take constructive criticism well. This is a good time to re-asses goals and aspirations pertaining to your career; or have a talk with your boss or mentor about taking on more responsibility, or asking for a review of your work to see what you can do better.  

This is a dynamic that we will see play out in the world at large, and in our personal lives. We can see this dynamic play out by watching the news and seeing events take place in the lives of our friends and associations on social media.  

How to Work with Full Moon in Capricorn Energy 

• practice "TR" total responsibility for your own thoughts, words and esp. actions. 
• evaluate and refine your goals and life direction 
• let go of or release laziness 
• be more of an independent, goal-oriented self-starter. 
• create a "business plan" or "flow chart" to help you achieve life goals
• let purpose drive your actions 
• read the biography of someone you admire 
• establish boundaries (esp. between work and home)

The Personal Touch 

To better understand how the Full Moon in Capricorn will affect you on a personal level, you need to look at your natal chart and determine where Capricorn and Cancer fall in terms of natal houses. These are the areas of life where you will feel a division.  For example, in my own chart the 3rd and 9th houses are affected. This can indicate feeling torn between the desire to play it safe close to home and the desire to explore the world outside my comfort zone.  

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets, are another dimensions of astrological interpretation that should be examined. You want to look at the type of aspects, or relationships (if any) that the Full Moon is making to the planets in your birth chart. For example, in my own chart the Full Moon is making an exact opposition to my Natal Saturn at 3° Cancer. 

Under this aspects you can feel both unappreciated and misunderstood now, which can cause problems with older people, your parents, or superiors at work. Things just don't turn out the way you expect them too now, in fact, they can be completely the opposite. Your mood is more pessimistic and your relationships can suffer. You come across as cold and apathetic. This is a good day to keep your head down until this aspect passes.

Where does the Full Moon in Capricorn fall in your Chart and how will it manifest for you?

Full Moon in Aquarius - 8/22/21

 

Full Moon in Aquarius

8/22/21 5:02 AM

Natural Chart / Whole Houses

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon occupy the same degrees of opposing astrological signs. As you can see from the above Full Moon Chart, the Sun is at 29° Leo and the Moon is 180° away at 29° Aquarius making this a Full Moon. When two planets form an opposition in this manner it creates a division. Two things are being split apart or divided.

Grand Air Trine

A Grand Air Trine occurs when three planets from a triangle of trines in Air Signs in the chart. If you look at the chart above there is a Grand Air Trine between Venus in Libra, Saturn in Aquarius, and the North Node in Gemini.

This is a good aspect for embracing a new way of thinking so that you can develop a more realistic idea of a love that is whole and balanced. This along with the Full Moon in Aquarius, makes this a great time to end unhealthy friendships, relationships, and associations. You can learn from your mistakes now and do better. Since this is an Air Trine, you can use air energy in the form of mantras, affirmations, prayers, the use of incense, meditation, cleansing breath work, etc...

The Big Picture

Aquarius is associated with groups of like minded individuals. They usually come together for a single purpose which serves the group's interests or agenda and which is greater than that of any one individual. For this reason Aquarius rules over clubs, organizations, friends, groups, and associations.

On the flipside, Leo is more about the individual. Leo is the dramatic actor who needs to take center stage and get all the attention for themselves. They can be quite territorial!  They are not concerned with the needs of the many (in a general sense here) but rather with their own needs.

So what we can expect from this Full Moon in Aquarius? Well a divide between the group agenda / needs and the needs of the individual is expected. With the Full Moon in Aquarius friends and associations come under scrutiny and some relationships or associations may come to an end. Alternately, an acquaintance may become a closer friend. People are, generally speaking, less materialistic now and more charitable. People tend to focus on their dreams for the future now as well as their place in the world.  Now is the time to take steps towards realizing ones dreams or abandon them all together for something more realistic.

Working with Full Moon in Aquarius Energy

• Donate time, money, or energy to a worthy humanitarian cause
• Sign a petition for a cause that you believe in
• Join a group that interest you.
• Start a club or organization that you would want to join.
• Participate in a Protest March
• Get involved in local politics
• Research a topic that you're in interested in (especially if it involves technology or cutting edge science)
• Give yourself more freedom

The Personal Touch

To better understand how the Full Moon in Aquarius will affect you on an individual level you need to look at the houses in which Aquarius and Leo fall in your natal chart. For example, in my own chart Aquarius is in the 4th Natal House and Leo is in the 10th.  These two houses are known as the Angular Houses (along with the 1st and 7th) and these are very powerful houses. The fourth house is known as the Imum Coeli (IC) and the tenth house is known as the Midheaven or Medium Coeli (MC).

Whereas the IC rules over our home and private life, the MC rules over our public life and reputation. For me, there would seem to be a divide between my sense of privacy and what I share with the public (or how I am perceived by the public). With the Full Moon in the 4th house, endings related to the home and family are indicated. This may also be a situation that I would want to keep from the public or to somehow control the flow of information so as the prevent misunderstanding with the public.

You can go deeper by checking the aspects between the Full Moon in 29° Aquarius and other points in your natal chart. For example, in my own chart the Transit Moon is separating a conjunction to my Natal Moon which means that my Lunar Return Chart has just activated!

How will the Full Moon in Aquarius affect you?

Sun in Cancer 2021

 

Sun in Cancer 

6/20/20   8:32 PM (Pacific) 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Sun in Cancer (General) 

When the Sun is in Cancer, people can be more emotional and those emotions are often closer to the surface. They can be moody, empathic, and sensitive. People are more caring and nurturing. They seek out a place of  safety and security and that place is often the home.  The house where the Sun falls in your chart natally represents the area of life where the Sun in Gemini will be felt. 

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

Example 

Sun in Cancer and the 9th House 

The Sun in Cancer in the 9th house of spiritual growth, dream, education, higher ethics and long journeys can manifest as moody feelings about personal growth.  You're more honest with your feelings and you're more likely to share them with others.  You may get a little overwhelmed by daily life and seek to retreat to your home where you find more peace and harmony.  You're open to learning new things and meeting new people but prolonged expose to the unfamiliar may make you irritable so you keep such episodes short and more sporadic. 

Aspects

Aspects, or relationships between planets, are another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, let us suppose that you have Saturn at 3° Cancer, that would mean that the Transit Sun at 0° Cancer is forming a conjunction to your Natal Saturn at 3° Cancer. A conjunction is a type of aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet blends with the energy or urge of another planet and you can no longer tell them apart. 

While the Sun represents your outer identity, Saturn represents the urge for discipline and structure. When these planets are in conjunction you are more disciplined, use your time more wisely, and are more in control of yourself.  You can be more of a hard worker now but should caution yourself against working too hard or you could suffer burn out.

When a planet goes retrograde it changes the meaning of that planet in our charts.  Jupiter is known as the Greater Benefic (Venus being the Lesser benefic), and it is the planet of Luck, Expansion, and Optimism.  When Jupiter goes retrograde, it isn't really bad per se, but rather this is a time when we should refrain from taking too many risks, and our optimism should be tempered with a little skepticism. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is..... 

Jupiter Retrograde in Pisces 

Jupiter Retrograde in the watery sign of Pisces can give us a preview of what we can expect to occur in our lives when Jupiter enters Pisces in December 2021 and remains there until May 2022. Pisces is known as the Healer and the Dreamer. When Jupiter retrograde is in Pisces all the energy of compassion, empathy, and healing for others us turned towards ourselves. We can now take time to confront and heal our subconscious and hidden traumas, to nurture ourselves, to practice self-care, and to give more energy to our spirituality and to our dreams. 

Obviously, however, Jupiter Retrograde will affect everyone differently depending on where transit Jupiter falls in your natal chart. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Pisces is your 12th House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Pisces is your 11th House.

Jupiter Retrograde in Aquarius 

When a planet changes signs, it is felt in the world. Jupiter being the largest planet in our solar system commands a huge presence in our corner of the universe so when he shift from the water sign of Pisces into the airy sign of Aquarius, the rebel, it will definitely be felt.  When Jupiter Retrograde transits Aquarius it triggers growth and expansion in the area of technology, altruism, and personal freedom. This is a good time to review any changes that we want to make in our lives on a personal level and in the world in general. 

The Natal house occupied by Aquarius in your birth chart is the area of life where the ingress of Jupiter Retrograde into Aquarius will most strongly be felt.

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Mars in Leo (General) 

When Mars is in Leo people are generally more honest, sometimes brutally so, creative, and independent. They are also more fun loving and desirous of pleasure, and are able to show a great deal of aggression and strength. People prefer to have more fun when Mars is in Leo and they are less interested in work. They may socialize more, date more often, and tend to engage more in their hobbies and interests. Generally speaking, people want to be admired, appreciated, and celebrated more than usual. 

Where Leo falls in your natal chart is the area of life that is being activated by this Mars in Leo. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Leo is your 5th House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Leo is your 4th House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Leo is your 3rd House.

• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Leo is your 7th House. 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Leo is your 6th House. 

Example 

Mars in Leo and the 10th House 

Mars in Leo in the 10th house of career, life-path, ambition, and public profession translate to I act willfully in regards to my career and reputation.  You are more focused on your career and may have more focus and drive to have success. You have big, grand dreams of fame, success, and riches. You're more about the big picture now and focus on long-term goals rather than instant gratification. People take notice of your accomplishments. With Mars conjunct Mercury in your 10th house you can be a little too boastful right now so be careful of overconfidence.  The Mars/Mercury conjunction in the 10th House square Uranus in the 7th house can create tensions between yourself and people who can make or break your career. Romantic of platonic relationships may suffer in favor of work relationships as well.  With Mars the planet of aggression in your 10th house, you may have problems with your parents, boss, mentors, or other superiors at this time. 

Aspects 

Aspects or relationships between planets is another dimension of Astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, let us say that your Natal Moon is at 29° Aries, this would mean that Mars at 0° Cancer is forming a square to your Natal Moon. When the Moon is square Mars you tend to be more rash and to act out based on your emotions. You come across to others like a child having a temper tantrum and you are generally more grumpy than usual. Relationships with others, especially women, can be more strained and difficult.

New Moon in Gemini

New Moon in Gemini 

6/10/21 3:54 AM PDT

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon both occupy the same degree of the same sign of the zodiac at the same time. As you can see from the above image the Sun and Moon are in 19° Gemini making this a New Moon. 

When the moon is in Gemini people feel more like talking about their emotions. They may feel restless, indecisive, and flighty. People are more reflective, though they may have trouble sticking to one subject for any length of time. They are more open to change and they are open-minded about the form such change may take place, but again they will find it difficult to pin things down in a decisive manner. It doesn't help that Mercury making an almost exact conjunction to the new moon in that Mercury brings a certain amount of speed to how your thoughts and words shift from topic to topic and subject to subject. 

How to Work with Moon in Gemini Energy 

• the mantra for Gemini is I THINK, so stop and think before you speak (or write). 
• work on your written and verbal communication skills; avoid any language or tone that could be misconstrued. 
• don't assume people "read between the lines" or understand, go the extra mile to clarify. 
• clear up any misunderstanding that you  have had with others. 
• get to know your neighbors 
• check in with your siblings 
• try to exercise more adaptability, open-mindedness, and versatility especially about anyone or anything that seems different or foreign. 
• get involved with a neighborhood or community effort. 

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 Gemini to play out. Since the May New Moon occurs in 18° Gemini, you would look at your Natal, or Birth Chart to ascertain in what House 18° Gemini occurs.  

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

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

A Practical Example 

New Moon + Gemini + 8th House 

Using our keyword system the new moon in Gemini and the 8th house can translate to I feel the urge to communicate about / I am curious about deep transformation in the area of sex, and shared resources.  With the New Moon in the 8th house you may feel the need to change something about your sex life such as attracting a new lover. You may feel restless and sexually frustrated and go back and fourth about doing anything to find satisfaction. You may waffle on what it is that you want in a lover or if you really want one anyway. 

Natal Aspects to the New Moon  

In addition let us suppose that you have the Sun at 22° Virgo. This would mean that the New Moon at 19° Gemini, is making a square to your Natal Sun. Under this aspect Your wants and your needs collide under this aspect and you can feel pulled in two directions unsure of which way to turn. You may not feel like you have the support or proper guidance of those around you. This can be a time when you have to compromise that does not bring you total satisfaction
