Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn...

today in Kilmore at 9.30pm.

Intense times!  Have a look at the close conjunction of the eclipsed Moon with Pluto, and the Sun/Mercury conjunction.  This is all being tightly squared and further energised by the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in the fiery Aries.

All of these aspects occur in cardinal signs... which are known for wanting to be boss: so symbolically it's almost as if there a too many chiefs in our lives wanted to run the show! 

The key to balancing the energies around this eclipse is to carefully handle the energetic Jupiter/Uranus conjunction as this is likely to throw out the tension of the eclipse because it is the focal point of a potent t-square. It seems that we do need to take action (Aries), quickly (Uranus) but realistically in terms of our long term capabilities (Jupiter).

New Moon in Aquarius...

today in Kilmore at 1.51pm.

This New Moon has a powerful connection to Neptune and Chiron... have a look at my previous post about the Sun/Neptune conjunction to get a feel for this lunation.

New Moon's are about making a fresh start and by looking at where this one falls in your birth chart you can get a feel for where you have the potential to start something new.

Keep in mind the confusing, but idealistic Neptune influence though!

Leo Full Moon...

today in Kilmore at 5.18pm at 10 degrees and 14 minutes of Leo.

The Full Moon period is often a time when emotions run high, and being in Leo it seems that this feeling will be stronger than usual! As well, you can see in the chart that the Moon is conjunct the retrograde Mars, adding even more fuel to this fiery Full Moon: suggesting that we could all benefit from counting to ten before acting around this period of time.

Venus continues to be a saving grace as it has been over the last few lunations.   Perhaps you can look to see which houses are ruled by her in order to get a feel for where you can access some diplomatic help!

If you have personal planets or points in Leo or Aquarius then this is likely to be an especially pivotal time - most likely in regards to a relationship.

Sun enters Aquarius...

today in Kilmore at 3.28pm.

At last... some more of the focus on Capricorn is easing off, especially with the Sun leaving the sign taking some of its' heat with it!

By looking at which house/s are ruled by the Sun, you can get an idea of what or who will change gears when the Sun moves from the serious and hard-working Capricorn into the stable and social sign of Aquarius (there is still a bit of a serious side to Aquarius, since this sign in traditional astrology is ruled by Saturn as well).

Also look to see which house the Sun is travelling through to get an idea of which relationships and areas of life are likely to be 'lit up' as the Sun travels around your chart!

Jupiter enters Pisces...

today in Kilmore at 1.10pm.

This mighty planet moving from Aquarius where it has been since the middle of January 2009, into Pisces is a major change in the heavens... especially since it likes being in Pisces.

So, Jupiter moves into Pisces today and will be in this sign until June 6 of this year... which is a VERY quick zip through this sign.  This quick visit suggests that we all have to make the most of the lucky touch of Jupiter while we have the chance to.  However, don't panic if you think you've missed an opportunity - Jupiter will return back to Pisces again on September 9 and will stay until January 23, 2011, giving most of us a second chance!

As usual, look to see where Jupiter is travelling through to get an idea of where you can expect opportunity, growth, lack of boundaries and inspiration, as well as new doors opening up for you and the opportunity to learn.  Also look to see which houses have Sagittiarus and Pisces on them to get a feel for what and who may be involved in these opportunities.
