The Full Moon occured this morning around 5am PST at 18° Aries. It’s a Supermoon – the biggest and brightest full moon of 2025. This Moon brings peak experiences with exploration, physicality, courage, and our personal story. Aries is a fiery sign, and indicates new clarity and energy. Since this Full Moon takes place in the area of the sky known as Bharani, regeneration is highlighted. It’s a time of accepting endings, and nurturing new beginnings.
Today is also Kartik Purnima, one of the most sacred full moon days in the Hindu calendar, it symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness. It is the “Diwali of the Gods”, marking the day when gods are believed to descend on earth to celebrate Diwali on the banks of the Ganga. Burn some candles today.
There’s also a meteor shower tonight, bringing more light to the sky. It’s an opportunity to bring more light into our lives. Several planets are in extaordinarily positive positions right now, we can make real progress on things that are important to us.
CURRENTLY: Sun at 4 Libra (in it’s fall, no Sun Magick now) Mercury DIRECT at 26 Libra Venus at 15 Virgo (in her fall, don’t do Venus Magick) Mars at 26 Libra (debilitated, no Mars Magick) Jupiter 0 Cancer!! (EXALTED! Excellent time for Jupiter Magick!) Saturn RETROGRADE at 2 Pisces Uranus RETROGRADE at 6 Taurus Neptune RETROGRADE at 5 Pisces (rulership) Pluto at 7 Capricorn North Node at 23 Aquarius
We begin this week with a New Moon at 4° Libra, AND the auspicious Diwali festival of light! This New Moon is important on a spiritual level because it comes with Diwali, which symbolizes light overcoming darkness, and knowledge overcoming ignorance. It is a huge festival celebrated over several days, and is associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Ganesha, the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles.
This New Moon brings hope, and has a spark of divine light. It occurs near the star Chitra, which is the star of opportunity. It brings the power of Vishwakarma – the deity of innovative designs and crafting. Also, Jupiter, the planet of luck and wisdom, has just entered Cancer! This is a high placement, and Jupiter is exalted, giving his wisdom and light in the most nourishing ways! It happens only once every 12 years too, so this is a great transit.
Give yourself time to reflect on how you’d like the upcoming Moon cycle to go. If you’d like a personal reading on how this Libra cycle will affect you, book a reading with me here.

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.
On 7 September, Ukrainians witnessed a rare ‘blood moon’ — a lunar eclipse that turned the moon from silver to a deep shade of red.

On Sunday we had a Full Moon Eclipse in Aquarius. Moon conjunct Rahu (North Node). You had to be in Asia, Australia, or Africa to see it ❤ The energies of this eclipse are unfolding for ALL of us this week. What are your commitments to friends, groups or projects? Your plans for the future? Perhaps getting out and protesting for important causes? These are general themes this eclipse season is kicking up for us.
This Full Moon is a portal that all of us pass through. Because it’s in the sign of Aquarius, in the nakshatra Purva Bhadrapada, it is VERY fiery. It symbolizes a funeral pyre – the fire that separates the soul from the body. There is a strong emphasis on spiritual awakening leading to a powerful rebirth. It brings breakthroughs, courageous life changes and transformation; prompting individuals to break from conventional paths. Eclipses bring a stronger momentum to liberate oneself from old patterns. Eclipses are the power of shadow overtaking light.
This is a powerful time for setting intentions of transformation and liberation from the past. The axis of Rahu (future) and Ketu (past) is now lined up in Aquarius and Leo, which enhances social movements. It’s great for activism, but there’s also a risk of obsessiveness. Who we are as a collective, and how we are governed, is going through massive shifts.
Normally I would say “Sun’s in Leo! Do Sun Magick!” BUT NOT THIS YEAR. Ketu, the South Node of the Moon, is transiting the sign of Leo until Dec. 2026, which strangely enough, diminishes the power of kings. It’s a strange time for Leos, or anyone with Leo rising. The combination of Ketu’s detached, introspective energy with Leo’s vibrant but ego-driven nature encourages spiritual growth and the pursuit of a deeper, more intrinsic understanding of self. It’s not a time to be flashy, but to lead with compassion.
Also, if you have any planets around 6° or any sign, they are getting strongly activated right now. Put your energy towards wrapping up past projects that have been bugging you for awhile. Nurture yourself with good food and rest.
Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:
Sun at 20° Sagittarius Mercury at 5° Sagittarius (in his detriment, no Mercury Magick now) Venus at 15° Sagittarius Mars at 18° Sagittarius Jupiter RETROGRADE at 27 Gemini (in detriment, no Jupiter Magick now) Saturn at 2° Pisces Uranus RETROGRADE at 3° Taurus Neptune 5° Pisces (rulership) Pluto at 8 Capricorn North Node at 16° Aquarius
Full Moon at 20° Gemini (sidereal), at 3:32am Pacific. Moon, Sun and Jupiter all conjunct at 9 Gemini, which boosts the energy of this Moon in positive directions. All of this beautiful energy and rebirth is exactly square Saturn though… so you have to rebuild the structure of your life too.
This Moon breathes new beginnings into our communications, thinking, mindset, and social groups. Gemini is talking and socializing, so get out and have some fun! The focus now is on finding our inner truths, and looking at the big picture of our lives. Maybe you need some time in solitude so you can reflect on what’s working in your life, and what you need to release so you can live in your truth.
Try to avoid snap decisions or risky situations though, since the New Moon is square the planet Saturn. You must plan carefully and take the long view of your life.
Happy 2026! January 1st begins with Mercury making its final square to Neptune in Pisces, inviting reflection on intuition, imagination, and trusting subtle inner messages without needing immediate clarity. As Mercury enters Capricorn later that day, joined by the Sun, Venus, and Mars, the tone shifts toward realism, boundaries, responsibility, and discerning what truly deserves your time and energy as the year begins. Chiron stations direct at 22 deg Aries on January 2nd, marking a turning point in personal healing and sovereignty and signaling readiness to move forward after a period of deep internal work. Yet sensitivity remains heightened through its square to Jupiter in Cancer. The January 3rd Cancer Full Moon brings an emotional and heart-centered recalibration, activating themes of belonging, safety, unconditional love, and emotional truth as the lunar energy aligns with Sirius, our Spiritual Sun. Together, these transits describe an initiation into 2026 that asks for stronger boundaries, deeper self-trust, and a renewed connection between heart and purpose, setting the stage for a very active and forward-moving January.

Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:
Sun at 26 Taurus Mercury at 8 Gemini (Rulership! Excellent time for Mercury magick) Venus at 9 Aries Mars at 2 Leo (great for Mars magick) Jupiter at 6 Gemini (in its detriment. No Jupiter magick) Saturn at 6 Pisces Uranus at 4 Taurus Neptune at 7 Pisces (rulership) Pluto RETROGRADE at 9 Capricorn North Node at 29 Aquarius
Full Moon at 26° Scorpio (sidereal) at 12:43am Pacific, 6/11/25. Its falling near the star Antares – the heart of the Scorpion – which is a sensitive, transformational place. We need to be acknowledged, to correct injustice, and to have our boundaries respected. SCORPIO = regeneration, transformation, anger, rebirth, boundaries, sex, and the occult. Scorpio Moon can bring up issues around power and control.
This full moon has a special energy of reverence; a need to be respected and to have our boundaries guarded and honored. It is in the area of the sky called Jyestha. This nakshatra represents respect, so a big part of this full moon in Scorpio is rising up and overcoming disrespect or oppression. We can see it around us right now with the clashes between the violations of human rights and authoritarianism.
We can see clearly through illusion.
It is important to vibrate high and stay away from toxic people and situations. Absolutely get out and protest, but avoid drastic, extremist attitudes.
Scorpio is ruled by Mars, the warrior god of strength, courage, boundaries, assertiveness, men, justice, and action. Mars JUST entered Leo which is fantastic! There is a new feeling of forward motion and getting things done.
Mars encourages us to look at our goals.
Do you have any goals? Are they in alignment with your true and highest self?
Assess your ambitions, life path and direction. It is a time to think about your actions, and whether they are aligned with the life and world you want to create.
Look at your energy and drive because they are valuable. Is your current job or project worth what you’re spending the time on? Do you need to make a change?
Also Saturn and Neptune are in a conjunction in this watery, nebulous energy of Pisces. Saturn is being challenged now to hold structure in what is completely unknown (Neptune). This relates to AI and how it pushes the edge of reality. Be aware that what you think might be real may not be real at all right now. On an inner level understand that what is true in one way can be completely differently true in another way. It’s rare to have a conjunction between Saturn and Neptune. It gives us the ability to see illusion for what it really is, and that is liberating.
The positive thing about this is that Saturn and Neptune in Pisces is opening spiritual growth for a lot of people. This is a powerful time to really be seeing through the illusions.
Current Sidereal placements: Sun at 11° Taurus Mercury 8° Taurus Venus at 26° Pisces (EXALTED! Do Venus stuff!) Mars at 24° Cancer (detriment, no Mars Magick now) Jupiter at 2° Gemini Saturn at 6° Pisces Uranus at 3° Taurus Neptune at 7° Pisces (rulership) Pluto RETROGRADE at 9° Capricorn North Node at 0° Pisces
New Moon at 11° Taurus. The Moon is “exalted” in Taurus, which means it expresses itself easily. This gives a calm, sensuous and indulgent feel to last weekend. The Sun in an earth sign brings up the issue of what we’re committing ourselves to, and if we need to update our agreements.
A new moon occurs every month when the Sun and Moon are in the same sign. It’s the beginning of a 30-day lunar cycle, and it’s when you set your intentions for the coming month. As the Moon grows, your intention grows in form and scope; coming to fruition at the full Moon two weeks later. Forming an intention is instinctual, since the Moon is black and there’s no illumination of the night sky. The Sun (the light) is also hidden, so we must ‘feel” our way, since we cannot see clearly.
The BIG change however, is that Rahu and Ketu have just entered new signs for the coming 18 months and are hovering at 0 degrees. This creates instability and uncertainty. Where are Aquarius and Leo in your Vedic chart? It shows what’s being activated in this new cycle. To find out where the change is, you can book a reading with me here.
Jupiter has also entered Gemini for the next year, and will offer increased creativity, expansion with communication and self expression. Kickstart your mind into a higher gear, and focus on achieving your potential.
Mars is still languishing in the sign of Cancer, where he is supremely unhappy. If there’s been trouble in the home the past couple of months don’t despair, we’re almost through it!
Uranus is currently in Taurus, and it will shake up and change wherever Taurus sits in your chart. It’s probably an area that has started feeling stagnant; a corner of your life that needs some fresh air. Uranus brings liberation, and a new way of expressing the genius within you. This corner of your life will radically transform in the next seven years.
Current Sidereal placements: Sun at 0° Aries (EXALTED! Excellent time for Sun Magick! Mercury 4° Pisces (detriment, no Mercury Magick now) Venus at 0° Pisces (EXALTED! Do Venus stuff!) Mars at 4° Cancer (detriment, no Mars Magick now) Jupiter at 24° Taurus Saturn at 1° Pisces Uranus at 1° Taurus Neptune at 6° Pisces (rulership) Pluto at 9° Capricorn North Node at 3° Pisces
We had a Full Moon at 28 Virgo last Saturday. It sparks off a week of organization and assimilation. I view Virgo as the sign of the High Priestess, inspiring us to own our power, and living in our authenticity. With Virgo we get REAL and accept what life has given us. The problem though, is Virgo’s ruler Mercury is currently wallowing in Pisces. He’s unable to express himself there, and his quickness gets watered down with dreams and intuition. So yeah, there may not be a lot of clarity this week. It’s a balance between taking care of business and trusting our intuition.
But the BEST news is that Venus turned DIRECT right after the full moon. This brings a new chapter of love and money into our lives. If things have felt “off” over the past couple of months, we now have a new clarity and direction. Follow the truth you’re finding now, and take a step towards freedom. Last Saturday’s full moon can heal self-doubt and heartbreak, and offers true closure on relationships, ideas, and contracts when it’s for the highest good.
Venus turning Direct and becoming the Morning Star is symbolic of rebellion, and it only occurs once every 18 months. The weeks ahead are when Venus reaches her brightest luminosity, and she will dominate the morning sky.
And as a reminder, ALL the planets are Direct now! You can make real progress with this forward motion. The Moon, however, is squaring almost every planet this week, so emotionally we are running a gauntlet of different relationships and situations.
Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:
Sun at 28 Sagittarius Mercury DIRECT at 11 Sagittarius (in it’s detriment, no Mercurial Magick) Venus at 15 Aquarius Mars RETROGRADE at 2 Cancer (Fall, no Mars magick) Jupiter RETROGRADE at 17 Taurus Saturn at 20 Aquarius (rulership) Uranus RETROGRADE at 28 Aries Neptune 2 Pisces (rulership) Pluto at 6 Capricorn North Node at 4 Pisces
Monday, January 13, 2025: Full Moon at 28° Gemini (sidereal), at 2:27pm Pacific. This week will show culminating experiences in our communications, thinking, mindset, and social groups. Gemini is talking and socializing, so get out and have some fun! Also, Full Moons bring peak experiences from the energy that’s been building over the previous two weeks. The focus now is on finding our inner truths, and looking at the big picture of our lives. Maybe you need some time in solitude so you can reflect on what’s working in your life, and what you need to release so you can live in your truth.
Try to avoid confrontations or risky situations though, since the Full Moon is conjunct the planet Mars – actually blocking his light in the sky.
Venus will be approaching Saturn this week, arriving exactly conjunct on Saturday, January 18th. This aspect is powerful, and will bring a seriousness to our relationships and creative projects. It will encourage us to get organized, disciplined and responsible with regards to art, music, groups and socializing. It could also support the folks in LA to begin the path of rebuilding their lives into a structure where they can flourish. Saturn rules houses, plans, structure, stability and focus. Venus also rules women, and the conjunction with Saturn can bring up worries and pessimism about relationships. Saturn demands that boundaries be respected and that communications are authentic. People need loyalty and space with this aspect. If you need to have a heart to heart with someone, speak carefully, with restraint and respect.
Uranus is stationing over our heads for several weeks, bringing many changes in direction for each of us. Uranus liberates from limiting ideas and relationships – he sets us free. Where do you need freedom right now? How might new communities help us? Try something different. Take a detour or go to a completely new place and see what happens!
Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:
Sun at 15 Libra (in it’s Fall, no Sun magick) Mercury DIRECT at 3 Scorpio Venus at 23 Scorpio (detriment, no Venus magick) Mars at 4 Cancer (Fall, no Mars magick) Jupiter at RETROGRADE 25 Taurus Saturn RETROGRADE at 17 Aquarius (rulership) Uranus RETROGRADE at 0 Taurus Neptune RETROGRADE 2 Pisces (rulership) Pluto at 4 Capricorn North Node at 11 Pisces
Friday we had a New Moon at 15° Libra sidereal. It’s a new beginning for our relationships, friendships, and creative pursuits. New Moons turn the page and give us an opportunity to start over and set new intentions. The new lens for this month is a focus on relationships of all kinds. Maybe you need to reconnect with people you haven’t seen in awhile, or maybe you need new friends. You can reset things now and change your focus.
Venus rules the sign of Libra, and unfortunately she’s not in a great position in the sign of Scorpio. In fact, most of the planets are in challenging signs OR retrograde, so now is a time to get organized rather than doing planetary Magick.
Mars and Pluto are in perfect opposition too at 4° Cancer/Capricorn. This means confrontation and potential violence. I don’t want to overly alarm anyone, BUT it’s best right now to turn the other cheek and avoid trouble with other people. This will be happening through the election and for much of November. On the good side, Pluto demands evolution and reformation, so you can rebirth yourself powerfully. Mars opposition to Pluto can move mountains and help you do the impossible, calling upon inexhaustible resources of energy. As an evolutionary planet, Pluto ultimately demands evolution and this may be a key theme over the next four weeks.
