Full Moon today at 19 Pisces! Try to get outside and into the light of this full moon, because it brings blessings of the wealth goddess Lakshmi. This full moon rains down the “nectar of immortality” that rejuvenates, heals, and gives promise for the future. Set an intention for revisualizing your life. The choices that you’re making this week are BLESSED. This is a great night to charge water, sweet milk or gemstones in the light of the Moon.

Saturn is close to this full moon – you might even see it dimly nearby. There’s something about understanding the structure and limitations of what we are facing, and of the new path we are embarking on. Also, Venus is very close to Ketu (the South Node of the Moon), which activates patterns in relationships. We can see our patterns clearly now and take steps to shift them if needed.

Ready for a change? This is a time of letting go after our recent series of eclipses. Tonight’s full moon brings in the energy of renewal and recalibration towards a new vision. There is a new plan going forward, and we can embrace it. We just passed the Autumn Equinox which is equal day and equal night. This is a time of balance as we pass through the portal between Summer and the darker months. We are inspired to clean up our lives and get everything in order. Pisces is a water sign, and symbolizes the collective unconscious, tidal waves, chaos, the ocean, intuition, surrender, and connection with the divine.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the winged messenger of thought and communication. With the Sun and Mercury in Virgo, our minds are at their peak and we can be decisive. The decisions you make now, determine your future path.

Sun in Virgo means to discern, analyze, discriminate and assimilate. We need to take care of ourselves and each other. Virgo is a sign of health, work, and being of service. We are preparing to focus on ‘relationships’ when the Sun goes into Libra soon. How we enter the world needs to be thought out, planned and disciplined in Virgo.

Full Moon at 22° Capricorn at 1:00am PDT August 9
There’s a lot of potential and opportunity out there, but a lot of conflicting energies too. You feel pulled in many different directions. There’s possibilities for witnessing, listening, and hearing instruction from our higher selves. Illusions are destroyed. Watch and listen.

Sturgeon Moon: sturgeon were once abundant in North American lakes at this time of year. Full Moon rises at 22 Capricorn. She is in her detriment in Capricorn, which celebrates “getting ahead” more than being vulnerable. People become cautious and it’s hard to get concessions from authority figures. The energies of this Full Moon will unfold over the week ahead giving us peak experiences with our ambitions, career, and personal story.

We have a six planet alignment just after sunset tonight with Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Saturn — all bright and easily visible to the naked eye — and Uranus and Neptune, which can be seen with the aid of binoculars. Many falling stars this weekend with the Perseid meteors streaking across the sky.

Full Moon Eclipse at 27 Leo sidereally, occuring at 11:55pm Pacific TONIGHT!
Prepare to be liberated.

A Full Moon at the end of Leo often represents a life full of happiness and joy. Leo, ruled by the Sun, follows his heart and connects with creativity. It’s a joyous time, and the perfect night to see electrifying musical or artistic performances. However this Full Moon is exactly opposite Saturn, which means we also need to be hard-working and sincere with our work. Saturn maintains a strict discipline, including cleanliness and neatness. You will never find clutter on his table. 

Some ancient peoples say that being outside with an eclipse is not a good thing. This is because Ketu – symbolizing the past – will be moving across the Moon. It’s the shadowy tail of the cosmic dragon, and it brings up past uncertainties, the unseen, and ancient karmas. If we are ready, it gives us the power to face our past and make fundamental changes, releasing the dead weight of grievances and empty attachments. This eclipse is a portal, showing us how to release regret and heartbreak.

Tonight, this eclipse falls in a section of the Vedic sky called “Uttara Phalguni”. It’s symbolized by a bed, and represents relaxation, comfort, and rejuvenation. Mindfully use this eclipse to remove blocks to prosperity, friendship and noble virtue.

Also, Mercury is going retrograde at 14 Pisces tomorrow (Friday)!

Venus went retrograde last weekend. We are slowing down and looking backwards to old relationship patterns over the next month. Her retrograde cycle is actually an ancient process of transformation. Venus sinks in the evening sky, disappears in the Sun, then rises as the morning star a few week later. She comes down to earth to re-evaluate things. The Venus retrograde cycle comes once every 18 months, and manifests a powerful cycle of death and rebirth. We shed old ideals and think about what works for us in the present. We confront hard truths about love, money, and creativity.  When Venus rises as the Morning Star on April 12th, a new clarity regarding commitment and self-worth will also rise.
