Full Moon on 16th April, 2022

 



The Full Moon in Libra falls on Saturday the 16th April, and to many Christians, this is the day prior to Easter Sunday. At five minutes to nine, tomorrow evening, the Full Moon should be visible on the eastern horizon. Tomorrow's Full Moon is the culmination of the intentions made at the New Moon some fourteen days ago. Think back and recall any plans you put into action. As Jupiter and Neptune got closer in the sky, you may have felt that there was nothing in your way. Mercury is approaching the ever-eccentric and equally brilliant Uranus, so you may feel your ideas are nothing short of inspirational. 

Truth be known, there are a few stressful aspects associated with this Full Moon; both the Sun and Moon square Pluto  and Saturn squares the Moon's nodes (the horseshoes), so some plans may have to be put on the back burner.

Mars, the sky warrior, has now gone into Pisces, a water sign traditionally ruled by Jupiter. This placement has caught the attention of most astrologers especially as they are linking this Mars/Pisces aspect to the sinking of the Moskva, Russia's flagship. You see, Mars can represent fire power, and in the sign of Pisces, some have taken that to mean that the conflict (for want of a better word) would take to the sea. That remains to be seen.


What is definitely interesting is that when the then President of the USA, George H.W. Bush, and his Russian counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev, met in Malta to sign the end of the Cold War, it was this ship that the document was meant to be signed on. (Who remembers the gale winds that prevented that happening, and the meeting taking place on the 'Maxim Gorky' instead?)


Back to that watery Mars in Pisces; Mars is in the home of Jupiter, and like any houseguest he must abide by Jupiter's bidding. We might feel less motivated to go after our goals with this placement as Pisces is about foregoing the ego, and Mars is anything but that. Your view on things might get a little foggy, but with that comes the gift that we may be able to perceive the bigger picture and tune into our spiritual side. 


How to make the most of this Full Moon energy: this Moon is not without its challenges. Take time out and prepare for the New Moon by letting go of things which no longer serve you, tangible or intangible. 

Blessings, 

Cindy

The March Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon....and more

  Tomorrow's Full Moon is a lunar eclipse, heralding the eclipse season for 2024. It occurs at 08:00 and will not be visible from our part of the world.  One thing to note is that due to precession, the zodiac and the constellations are out of synch by about 30 degrees, so whilst we say that the Moon is in the sign of Libra, the Moon will appear in the sky with Virgo as its backdrop. For the scope of this chart reading, I will be referring to the Moon as being in the sign of Libra.  So how does this eclipse affect us mortals? By looking the chart, we assess which planet is making an aspect to another. Because the chart changes according to time and place (for example, in London, this eclipse occurs at 07:00, and therefore the Ascendant and Midheaven changes). The chart for this Full Moon is quite interesting. The most notable aspects are the Sun/Pluto sextile, the Venus/Jupiter sextile and the Moon/Pluto trine.  These are all harmonious aspects. Remember that this is a lunar eclips

New Moon in Leo.... and more (read on).

  Are you feeling the heat? Astrologically, a new moon is all about implementing new plans, bringing others to a close and setting new intentions. Although this is stated in each of the blog posts, they are not the same for each new moon in a year. A new moon in Cancer is not the same as a new moon in Pisces, though theoretically they are both water signs. What you may find is that if you keep a personal journal, during the Leo New Moons period the same issues generally tend to crop up. Of course, the planets are in different positions at any given new moon, when a seed is sown. Ask your gardener whether they would sow any seeds after the full moon...  This month's new moon  is in the fiery sign of Leo and occurs at around 13:30 on the 4th August. As such, a new moon in Leo focuses on the issue of creativity, as Leo is a sign associated with the heart and putting our ideas/creations out there into manifestation, and also being recognised for our works of art, be they ideas, or chil

Solar Eclipse and its links to 1501....

  And here it is... the chart for the New Moon in Aries, also a total solar eclipse. I've been reading a lot of different takes on this eclipse. Let me explain why there are different views on it.  Fact number one: different astrologers will have different takes on it depending on what they see in the chart. That is why astrology is not only a science, but also an art. This is why I suggest reading a variety of interpretations of astrological perspectives on this eclipse (or any other, for that matter) and see what you can take from it.  Fact number two: eclipses do not affect everyone in the same way. It makes sense that if you are the leader of an organisation, what you are dealing with may affect others. A prime example is the  current Prince of Wales' chart. Prince William was born on the day of a solar eclipse (I mentioned this in a few of my posts on this blog). This, in itself, is not unusual as eclipses do occur bi-annually. However, as the future King of England, it do
