Hello again. Welcome to the New Moon in Aquarius. The Sun's yearly cycle is all well and good, solar and predictable as it might be. But the Moon's cycles are more specific, closer to home, everything day to day. The Moon gathers and magnetizes the time period we're adrift in. It brings it into the… Continue reading New Moon in Aquarius – February 11, 2021
I'm not sure at all that I'll write something postable this moon. Just like the Aries war-camp in the sky, life has been a barrage of stimulating and confusing scenes. The full light of the moon brings a big spotlight to the crescendos of the year. We're compelled to leap into motion but holding it… Continue reading Full Moon in Aries
We wake to a New Moon in Virgo. The 30 degrees of sky that we tropical astrologers call "Virgo" beams with detailed analysis. Virgo is a processing powerhouse. The Moon and Sun come together in the perfect place to bid a 2020 farewell to some long-established ways of doing things. This is an excellent moment… Continue reading New Moon in Virgo – September 17, 2020
On Februrary 23rd of 2020, we had a New Moon in Pisces. This Full Moon is the peak of that cycle, its fullness. Where were you at that particular beginning? What have you learned about the shifty nature of time? You have been steeped in the collective; pickled in the brine of 2020. How are… Continue reading Full Moon in Pisces – September 2, 2020
This Leo moon begins a cycle where courage and action feel a bit less complicated. I've been looking forward to this one. Feed your sustaining fire and listen to your passionate heart. When the moon is full again in Leo, we'll apply the fullness of our autonomy. We will see our courage utilized, however much… Continue reading New Moon in Leo – August 18, 2020
This full moon is happening on the Moon's Day, or Monday as we call it. This moon gives full expression to a new set of ideals - things we tried to encourage in ourselves at the last New Moon in Aquarius - around January 24 2020. There is hope for a steady response, a thorough… Continue reading Full Moon in Aquarius
This New Moon in Cancer is instinctual and fierce. We begin to know what we desire to give. This is a moon that asks us to begin an endeavor where we support, where we provide. What can I possibly say that will brace us and uplift us as we head into six months of pushing… Continue reading New Moon in Cancer – July 20, 2020
The Cancer/Capricorn axis is an axis of security, of all the ways that “safety” can exist. At a recent panel of organizers in Minneapolis (put on by Race Forward: The Center for Racial Justice Innovation), Kandace Montgomery of the Black Visions Collective said this, “I think we have to educate ourselves and get really critical… Continue reading Solar Eclipse in Cancer – June 21 2020
When we look to the Moon for symbolism we will always find our most familiar rhythms - the protection we give; the protection we get; our bodies; our gut responses; the monotonous miracles that build our personal tapestries of instinct and need. The Moon in Sagittarius wants to expand. "Up and out" feels righteous and… Continue reading Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius – June 5, 2020
photomontage by Joan Proudman The moon rise tonight should be spectacular. And yet, this is the kind of spectacular that over-emphasizes panic and under-emphasizes stability. The moon’s fullness stretches each of us across the axis of self vs other, Aries vs Libra. The planet Venus will be visible in the Western sky as the Moon… Continue reading Full Moon in Libra – April 7 2020
