Full Moon in Leo, February 7, 2012

© Timhesterphotography | Dreamstime.com

The key to the Full Moon at 18° 32′ Leo on 7 February 2012 at 01:54 PM PST is Saturn stationing retrograde at 29° Libra. Full Moons are about opposing elements and this chart furthers that theme because the planets fall in a Seesaw Pattern with the Leo Moon, Mars in Virgo and Saturn in Libra opposing the rest. Oppositions present opportunities to learn about cooperation and compromise which fall under Libra’s aegis, and if we refuse to do either of those, what’s left is deepening polarization.

Saturn stations generally mean we [...]

New Moon in Aquarius, January 22-23, 2012

Talk a New Moon with a punch! This one at 2° 42′ Aquarius on 22 January 2012 at 11:40 PM PST is it! It’s the apex of an out-of-sign T-Square with Saturn in Libra and Jupiter in Taurus for starters, and then Uranus in Aries (Aquarius’s ruler) is sextile to it. What this adds up to is great potential for change.

The dynamic tension created by the T-Square combined with planets at 29° to 2° signals the need to look around us and decide what in our lives is coming to [...]

Full Moon in Cancer, January 8-9, 2012

One would think under this Full Moon at 18° 26′ Cancer on 8 January 2012 at 11:30 PM PDT, how we feel would be highlighted but that is not the case this time. The Moon is the only body in water in a chart dominated by earth and air so we will be aware of our emotions without being ruled by them. Very nice if you think about it!

Mars in Virgo creates a harmonious pattern with the Sun in Capricorn and the Cancer Moon, allowing us to focus on practicalities and [...]

Full Moon in Gemini Lunar Eclipse, December 10, 2011

The second of a pair of eclipses, the Full Moon at 18° 11′ Gemini on 10 December 2011, 6:37 AM PST will either encourage wisdom and generosity of spirit or overblown rhetoric full of hot air and righteousness. Lunar eclipses always are aligned with the Moon’s Nodes, bringing into focus both the best and worst of both signs involved.

Ceres in Pisces and Mars in Virgo both square the lunar axis though those two do not and will not form an exact opposition. Mars squaring the Luminaries makes for a testy [...]

Observations: Fun Saturn-Sun Transits

Saturn in Libra is drawing ever closer to my 29° Libra Sun and even though the transit won’t be exact until January 2012, this transit is increasingly on my mind. This will be the third time over the course of my life Saturn will conjoin my Sun. See what happens if you live long enough?!

My first experience of Saturn in Libra was about the time I started school as a very small, very shy five year old shoved into first grade (no pre-school or kindergarten in those days). On the plus side learning to read and write [...]
