It’s time to mature ideas, through the contrast of opposites. The main polarities in evidence now are: -Innovation vs Impeccability -Abstraction vs Concretization We are about to put ideas into practice. It is not yet a case of taking an activity to its maximum degree of impeccability, but of experimenting with variants, so that we…
This is an Aquarius overdose for the planet. A great conjunction of planets, from Saturn at 6º to the Moon-Sun conjunction at 23º. In order: Saturn-Jupiter-Venus-Mercury-Moon-Sun. Mars and Uranus, in Taurus, are squaring this group. All Aquarian-type projects are benefited. Changes in opinion, perspective and attitude are facilitated. Knowledge, communication, learning, use of reason, logic,…
This Full Moon represents a key moment to balance individual, relational and collective wills. Metaphorically speaking, it is harmonizing the perspectives of 1st, 2nd and 3rd person, as in language: I-we, you-you, he-they. As part of this turbulent transition phase, we are leaving the strategy phase to now enter the phase of executing new plans,…
This is a complex situation, now. The New Moon happens in conjunction with Pluto (1). Thus, the work of deconstructing the structures goes a little further, even though Saturn and Jupiter have already moved on. At the same time, Mars reaches the square with Saturn (2), and Jupiter, the square with Uranus (3) Mercury is…
Two horses pulling in opposite directions. On the one hand, the Pluto, Mars and Saturn convoy. On the other, Venus squaring Neptune. In the first, we have the possibility of experiencing sublime love both in the most personal relationships and in the collective universe. On the other, we feel the ardent drive to move projects…
A year ago I wrote about the conjunctions that would happen in the beginning of 2020, more focused on the conjunctions with Pluto than in the other conjunctions of the year, more concentrated in the months of February and March than in the rest of the months of the year. Even so, as I said…
Full Moon, November 30, 2020 We haven’t had such an astrologically neutral moment in a while, considering a year like 2020. Still, we can seize the moment for some attitudes that were not possible before. Make some decisions or set in motion plans decided at other times, when it was less likely to act. It…
We have, this time, a New Moon in Scorpius. At the same time, Mars opposes Venus, which squares Pluto and Jupiter together in Capricorn. First, let’s get to the positives. This is a new moon dedicated to love, romance and passion. We are prone to seeking relationships, we want to fall in love, we are…
Easter is an important celebration in many cultures around the globe. Although its form may vary a lot, its significance is quite similar. It’s the time of the Spring Equinox, which carries the meaning of re-birthing of the nature after the “death” of the winter, the fight for territory and the right to reproduction. This…
Self-knowledge is an urge and a challenge almost as old as civilization itself. Throughout history, many religious, philosophic, and psychological systems have given their contribution to this difficult, compelling, and complicated task Astrology is one the available tools in this quest. In my opinion, the richest and the deepest one, although it is misunderstood and misinterpreted.…
Full Moon, October 31st, 2020 It is striking that in a year like this (sic!), The Full Moon of October is exactly on Halloween, or the day out of time, the witches’ day. But, like everything, there will always be a positive interpretation for each negative interpretation, and vice versa. Astrologically, this full moon fits…
Once more, we have a delicate, sticky moment, when several impulses coexist, threatening any project of serenity. Although the focus on relationships is a trademark of a new moon in Libra, the truth in relationships is rarely evident. We’re treading on the edge of a razor of truth. Either, we are whole and true in…
The time has come to expand our contact with the world, society, people in general. Time to take advantage of the flow and get closer to all the people from whom we have been separated. Considering the need to keep social distancing due to the virus, contacts may be predominantly virtual. Nonetheless, the time is…
New Moon, September 17, 2020 Subtle feelings, expanding ideas and rigid actions simultaneously. This mixed state is not the kind of mindset we usually find ourselves in. This Virgo conjunction Sun-Moon, what is properly the New Moon, is opposed to Neptune in Pisces. When this happens, we feel we need to be more reality focused,…
We need extra effort to show love and noble feelings this time. We are experiencing a tendency to hide our feelings in order to feel protected. So, emotions are not to be completely trusted right now. Rational thinking and common sense communication will be blocked or delayed. Passionate views will proliferate, with arguments and discussions…
Act Now! Make the Move. If the fruit is ripe, catch it. Every action in the direction of your highest plans is now facilitated. No thinking, no waiting, no evaluation. Beware, however, that sudden changes can mislead you from your dearest plans. Keep your eyes on your goals and on the next steps. It’s not…
There are times we are more inclined to act and others to think or to plan. Some moments are to communicate and others to just observe. Sometimes there are even more subtle predominant states. Many times there are contradictory impulses in humans’ unconscious minds. And that is now the most predominant. It’s a time when…
This is a really dense New Moon because it’s a second New Moon in the same sign and it’s opposed to the conjunction of Pluto with Saturn and Jupiter. Although every year we have two New Moons in one sign, it’s not always in Cancer and opposing such strong forces. I have already written about…
We are living in a pool of emotions that feel like waves coming and going. This experience can be overwhelming sometimes, like a roller coaster of states of mind, while things happen in the world and swirl inside us. This is what should be expected from this Jupiter- Pluto conjunction. Part of this set of…
An eclipsing New Moon while the Sun enters Cancer… sudden changes, emotional shifts, love and conflict are around us, these next 14 days. Blind faith and blind beliefs are abundant, common sense is hard to achieve. We need to turn our eyes to our inner garden for a while, for the next few days. We…
Three main projects for this Full Moon. Firstly, time to share joy, enthusiasm, excitement. Following this line, we can apply such emotional states to expand, either our lifestyle or our horizons. I mean, it’s time to go further, if it’s the case, or to expand the alternatives, the opportunities, or to make use of creativity…
Setting goals in a delicate mood. Sensitivity is the key to select what goal or what plan is worth to put in motion in the future. This is not a time to make it move. It’s rather a time to fix targets or aspirations. Nevertheless, what is important now is the way you do it:…
It’s a good time to remember the cyclicity of our universe, planet, nature and of our collective and personal lives. It’s a good time to exercise and develop patience and compassion. While doing it, remember that compassion is not martyrdom. On the opposite side, self love is not selfish love. So, what does this full…
New Moon April 23rd, 2020 Let’s first keep in mind that we are still in a Jupiter Pluto conjunction, already mentioned in another article. We are still under a tendency to expand our personal power and it can have constructive and destructive consequences. Now, for the astrological New Moon: Sun and Moon are in the middle…
Even though this full moon bears the meaning of harvesting, in the Easter tradition as well as many other traditions around the world, there is a deeper spiritual significance. We are facing the need to change things in a vast array of views and horizons. From personal to collective contexts, from short term goals to…
Let’s talk now about the conjunction of Jupiter, Mars and Pluto, which will take place around March 20th, 2020. It is not a precise conjunction (when the planets occupy the same degree in the ecliptic), but an approximation. The importance of this event can be considered by reading the list in the table at the…
We are in the lull of a storm. Our emotions will be comparatively calmer and our minds less dull. It’s a good time to say what we think, if we use our sensitivity, our compassion and our imagination. It’s a good time to acknowledge the role other people play in our lives and to thank…
It’s a roller coaster of ideas and “up and down” emotions are the superb feast being served for the next few days. This is not a time to hang on to old ideas nor to remain attached to old principles. Don’t even try to do it: it will be a waste of time and energy.…
Reducing one’s speed and focusing on one step after the other are the rules for this period. It’s not time for experiencing new things, trying risky plans or exposing oneself too much to dangerous activities. Over reaction is contraindicated and indulging in it will bring disastrous results. We are living in a very tense time…
The only adequate activities for the days to come are those intended to bring rest and fun. However, every mental activity used for planning, to specify and define objectives, wishes and projects, with joy and creativity will be enhanced and supported. Traditionally, the end of December contains an atmosphere of evaluation of the year that ends and…
This is a conjunction that has already been experienced many times in human history. The best way to begin an interpretation of this astrological event is to get a deep and comprehensive enough view of the symbolism of each planet. But, before that, let me give you my personal definition of an astrological planet: From…
It may not be the best time to express love and affection in a personal or intimate context. An atmosphere of confusion may be getting in the way and may lead to frustration. This Full Moon requires caution when communicating or expressing our thoughts, concepts, decisions, actions and feelings. Indeed, we are inspired, sensitive and…
Deep and intense Romance, Spirituality and Sexuality will be the predominant atmosphere for the next 10 days. It’s a time to experience life force in its most subtle, gentle and delicate forms. There is a tendency to exaggerate, though, in every feeling. We can feel emotional, passionate and too full of love, in an avalanche…
Now, the loving and romantic atmosphere gradually gives way to more practical projects. It’s going to leave a sensation of something missed, or missing. Just like the song: “Why did summer go so quickly?” So, the “gimme more” mental state should be replaced by “let’s get fresh energy from my experiences of love” and focus…
From a more general point of view we are still living in the “strange days”: it’s all surprising, almost every day, and we can hear old people say, even louder, life and world has nothing to do with what it was in the past. Anyway, although not enough to break this overall atmosphere, we are…
A lovely New Moon. These are the days to enjoy love in its simplest, easiest and fun way. Time to show your feelings without barriers. It doesn’t mean that you can say everything with no limits: remember, limits are not limitations. In the same sense, no limitations is not the same as no limits. Limits…
“Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.” Carl Jung We are ready to experience power in all its meanings, and ready to make enormous mistakes. A full moon in Capricorn usually shows the necessity to establish a middle…
We are in a time to separate some things in order to experience each one at full. Let me explain. On one hand, this is a Cancer new moon. It means a time to express how much we care for someone or a group of people. The natural expression of cancer is to nurture, to…
Dealing with expectations in our affective relationships is the main theme for this lunation. Especially in our Love Relationships. It’s a time to release others from your demands and expectations. Primarily, because this attitude is overcharging you, but also because it’s innocuous and futile. Everybody does what they can, nothing more nothing less. So, accept…
Every year Mercury reaches an opposition to Saturn, and it takes 5 days, more or less, in this situation. Mars reaches an opposition to Saturn every 2 years. But, now we have both in this opposition at the same time. What does it mean? First, it marks a time when we feel an urge to…
To believe or not to believe. That’s the question! This new moon emphasises the need of coherence in our belief system. When we have discrepancies within our system we inevitably generate conflict with other people. Let me explain it: We naturally connect with people with same perspectives, same beliefs and same values. Thus, even unconsciously,…
Full Moon in Scorpio. Time to work hard and focus on material priorities. If you feel uncomfortable with your worldly situation do something now. Be practical, objective and check if you are really open to learn something new about your own way to manage with reality. This is not a good moment to deal with…
Usually, a New Moon in Taurus means, on the one hand, the focus on the enjoyment of the body and pleasures, and on the other, the focus on the basic needs of comfort and security. It is where we should put our thinking in the coming days. But if some planets oppose the whole fulfillment…
A second full moon in the same sign is an unusual event. It’s also a second opportunity to develop or to ripe a project within a same framework or set of characteristics. Instead of an explosion of energy and joy, this time we have a matured seat of power to establish. If we got things…
This New Moon is the opposite to the past Full Moon. If we had the opportunity and the task of doing things, move forward and avoid thinking and talking too much, this is the time to select what to keep and choose among alternatives. Some of us will feel the urge to pause and think,…
An explosion of energy and joy! Lots of things to do associates with an unclear setting of goals for the next week. Time to execute what has been planned in the past weeks. It’s not the time to renegotiate: our communicative skills seem to have gone, and we don’t find the best words to say.…
International Women’s Day. (Written while travelling) If the last full moon was already inspirational, imaginative and sensitive, we had seen nothing. This new moon is an opportunity to go deeper or further into sensitivity, imagination and mysticism. For example!, because of this atmosphere of over sensitivity and mystic influence, I got the opportunity to spend…
It’s going to be difficult to experience and express love during the next days. We can enjoy, or produce, art, instead. We are feeling creative and imaginative, so it would be easier to try different forms to explore and express the wide palette of emotions that is going to be around. Maybe, the loved ones…
This new moon, in Aquarius, opens an opportunity to choose to use intelligence and communication skills to avoid destruction. It can be felt in the personal, familial, neighbourhood, social and political affairs. Since the last Full Moon we have been seeing these two paths opening, according to our decisions, words, and deeds. Part of the…
Time to go popular! (Sorry, joke) A Leo Full Moon symbolizes the tension between following social urges or private needs. The basic tension forces us to balance the amount of energy and attention we give to collective affairs, remaining true to our personal identity. It’s time to start new connections, build new bridges between people…
Every New Moon in Capricorn represents a time to focus on the requirements of our projects. We normally look to the future and ask ourselves if we are ready to supply our projects with solid ideas and strategies needed to succeed. It’s not a moment of the year when we feel confident enough to make…
This is the moment of the year when we focus on structure and nurturing. Traditionally, is a time of sheltering, of a hermit-like behavior and a kind of mind focused in reviewing the experiences of the whole year, and transform it into acquired wisdom to apply in the next year. It’s eventually good to stop…
Any New Moon in Sagittarius shows a moment of excitement and the wish for starting something or putting an idea in practice, aiming for something in the future. These are normally days of hope and joy, of excitement and impulse. But, this time, Mars meeting Neptune in the sky adds some different nuances to the…
In this full moon, many aspects fight for the limelight. The first could be called “meaning certainty”. We may feel that we have to clarify what we just have said in order to be sure our interlocutor understood it correctly. This can lead us to be more attentive to our non-verbal communications, too. But, if…
Three days after the entrance of the Sun in Libra, we have a full Moon that changes the general tendency of the last months. First of all, it’s important to remember that any full Moon in Aries, Sun in Libra, marks a time to adjust our relationships all around, something like “sit there, let’s talk..”…
This is a perfect time to keep quiet and observe, even if the tendency now is exactly the opposite. Everybody around is trying to show their best profile, their best performances, best ideas. So, we’d better remain silent and look. There will be an impulse to rescue or re-negotiate past agreements, an impulse to speak…
The texts I usually write about the New and Full Moons are intended to explore and explain the different mental states we feel connected easier at each lunation (New or Full Moon). They don’t affect us the same way, their effects depend on our individual sensitivity, on each one’s Natal Chart, on our cultural and…
There will be three posible ways in which life manifest itself due to this eclipse. First: for a week, more or less, our plans are going to speed up in such a way that it will seem that they go out of control. Second, we will become unrecognizably competitive and defiant. Third, we may feel…
This is a very changing New Moon. Most of us will be exposed to unconscious or uncontrolled forces that will bring about different transformations in our lives, as in our collective as in our individual areas. Whoever has important astrological characteristics around the 20th degrees of any sign will feel it in a deeper way.…
The next two lunations, both with the Sun in Cancer, are two of the deepest and most significant in a long time. June 28th, the full moon, bears the mark of Saturn. The New Moon, July 13th, the mark of Pluto. The meaning of a Full moon in Capricorn (Sun in Cancer) is the balance…
An important term to this New Moon is “simultaneity”. Also, when simultaneity comes to mind, we can think of “synchronicity” too. This New Moon is only 15 minutes apart from the moment Uranus enters in Taurus Sign. Uranus in Taurus means, shortly, a time of changes in the way we enjoy life, a time when…
Virgo Full Moon, Sun in Pisces, show the contrast between what could have been real and what really is. The process of distinguishing fantasies from realities is not an easy task, but absolutely necessary. This Full Moon is especially important in this respect. Even if our intuitive perceptions are increased, it can be mixed with…
As celebrações nessa época do ano são muito antigas e presentes em muitas partes do mundo. Está presente em variadas culturas. O significado, ou a origem, mais evidente é a entrada da primavera. Mas, a Páscoa é definida pela Lua cheia do Sol em Áries. O domingo (dia do Sol) seguinte à primeira Lua cheia…
Virgo Full Moon, Sun in Pisces, show the contrast between what could have been real and what really is. The process of distinguishing fantasies from realities is not an easy task, but absolutely necessary. This Full Moon is especially important in this respect. Even if our intuitive perceptions are increased, it can be mixed with…
This is a good time to make reason and emotion cooperate. So, to attend courses or seminars, to read large or difficult works, to express feelings in a more sophisticated or elaborate way will be easier. Boundaries and limits are requiring more attention in order to avoid problems Even so, it’s not a good time…
We usually need to establish limits in our relationships. We’ll call these limits “boundaries”. In other words, the way we share thoughts, emotions and things with others from an astrological perspective. How we decide whether or not to share something, what we accept or not from others, what we want or expect from them, our…
These are love expressng days! Romance and friendship. Time to show what one thinks and feels, in an expansive, creative, authentic and free way! Enjoy it! It may also be a good time to ask if you are balanced, light and cheerful to communicate to others whether or not you commit to them.
This New Moon brings in a tense set of sensations and emotions. From one perspective, we’ll have days full of love and pleasure, from another, the need to emphasize or confirm our authenticity. Connected to these states, which at first seems to have no contradiction, may arise others, derived from them, that could be difficult…
This is a perfect time to better define our agendas in order to leave space to higher and more subtle things. Our perception of the difference between concrete and abstract stuff is emphasized. The best way to get the best of this beginning time of the year is to really adjust our appointments with defined…
The invention and freedom time, mixed to we are already used to remains the same. Nevertheless, this full moon inspires us with sensitivity and imagination. It’s going to be a good moment to mutual understanding by using our ability to see things through the eyes of one another. Besides we should keep on avoiding illusions…
Although we are in a going through hard times this year, this New Moon brings a relaxed and easy moment. Although Pluto keeps irritating Mars, we can find a way to make space for rest and enjoyment. To achieve it, we have to give up fighting for power and search for common ground solutions. Even…
Moon in Taurus, Sun in Scorpio. Another period to focus on our relations. Two paths open, this time, in front of us. Either one is enjoyable, depending on the kind of person we are. The first one is related to the signs of the Sun and the Moon, Scorpio and Taurus, respectively. If you feel…
Sun and Moon in Libra Invention and instability are this New Moon’s main quality. Uranus forms a close opposition to both Moon and Sun. I explain: Every new moon in Libra inspires us to make peace, try to get closer, to patch things up with people, to accept different opinions, to serve as a…
Full Moon, Oct/05, 2017 – Sun in Libra – Moon in Aries. This next full moon has a very peculiar set of characteristics. First of all, it happens during a rather long period when our quest for freedom and authenticity are boosted in its brighter as well as in its darker aspects (Uranus opposing Jupiter…
(Sorry to post it so late in time that is almost unuseful. It’s due to a very busy agenda. Hope you enjoy it the same way!) Sun in Virgo, Moon in Piscis An extrememely sensitive Full Moon. Two ways open and intermingle before us: through one of them, we reach a higher point of view…
Sun in Leo, Moon in Aquarius. A very fun and joyful Full Moon amid a period of anger and power games. Indifference with our boundaries, ineffective definition of frontiers with others are the only obstacles to our joy and fun in the next days. To invade others spaces, or allow others to invade ours can…
A good moment to express yourself, to show your ideas, your beliefs and values. It’s time to conquer your own space, to show autonomy, independence and creativity. Time to push whatever project that seems to be blocked out or too slow. Time to defend your highest ideas, the ones on the top of your conceptual…
It’s another explosive full moon. If it were only a Capricorn full moon, opposed to a Cancer sun, it would be a good moment to balance following rules with flexibility, demanding with openness, being hard with being tender. However, not this time. Now we have a time of explosions of desires. It doesn’t seem dangerous…
Usually, we associate a New Moon in Cancer with the experience of emotions, self-care and the care of others. So, this new moon should mean the beginning of socializing, gathering and bonding projects. But, in this case, we are going to be over emotional, over-susceptible, prone to feel hurt and resentful. We can be inclined…
Easter is an important celebration in many cultures around the globe. Although its form may vary a lot, its significance is quite similar. It’s the time of the Spring Equinox, which carries the meaning of re-birthing of the nature after the “death” of the winter, the fight for territory and the right to reproduction. This…
This Full Moon is the one that culminates the troublesome relation among Pluto, Uranus and Jupiter. It’s very important to keep a flexible and loving approach to one another. For a few days, at least. We are experiencing a very igniting phase in the world, and if we react in an “eye-for-an-eye a tooth-for-a-tooth” style…
“Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.” Carl Jung It is a New Moon conjunct to Venus! It is a lovely refreshing break amidst a Jupiter-Pluto whirlwind. This is an opportunity to choose between power games, on…
Self-knowledge is an urge and a challenge almost as old as civilization itself. Throughout history, many religious, philosophic, and psychological systems have given their contribution to this difficult, compelling, and complicated task Astrology is one the available tools in this quest.
