Also referred to as a Blue Moon, as in once in a blue moon... meaning a Full Moon twice in one month, or a Blood Moon, because of the reddish appearance of the Moon as Luna passes through the Earth's shadow.. And yes, it's a Super Moon, meaning it's at perigee or closest to the Earth, so we know the affect of the Full Moon is even stronger, tides are higher and emotions are deeper. The Eclipse happening now is like the icing on the cake, just topping it all off and highlighting what there is to be seen or felt.
This Full Moon takes place at 8:27am EST in the 12th degree of the Fixed Fire sign Leo. With the Sun opposite in Aquarius, Fixed Air, what is illuminated is how well we're doing bringing our talents and creativity out to connect with the larger group, our community. The buildup from New Moon to Full can bring fulfillment if efforts have been positively directed, but if negativity has ensued, then worry and confusion can prevail. Is it time to let go of the shackles of the past and move toward your goals?
Leo's influence is wanting to enjoy life, to love and be loved, to freely express one's talents in a bold way that encourages others. The warmth of this strong sign is greatly enhanced at the Full Moon, causing people to seek recognition, romance or affection, sometimes in very dramatic ways. As the Moon aspects Venus later in the day, the need for give and take is highlighted so that your needs and the needs of others don't become a challenge. Expressing one's passion for a person, a project or a belief is all well and good, as long as the ego isn't in the drivers seat.
The Sun in Aquarius is the polarity to Luna in Leo and reminds us of our connections to others. Be sociable, get out there and meet new people and remember at all times to let your own light shine. Instead of comparing yourself to another, you could try to identify similar needs or goals, never losing sight of your individual intentions. Each person is on their own path and our paths will always cross. As you express more clearly who you are and what you want, don't lose sight of your own path.
Having the added influence of a Lunar Eclipse can bring greater insight or revelations that have a profound affect on an individual. It would be wise to carve out some alone time, going inward in meditation or thought for a brief look at your intentions before expressing your innermost desires to the outer world. You can still share your goals, once clear of what steps to take for yourself, as long as you are keeping your expectations in check. The influence of an eclipse has a way of working itself out over the weeks and months to come and effects can be felt for a long time.
Remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the earth~

Capricorn New Moon
Tomorrow's New Moon takes place at 9:17pm in the 27th degree of Capricorn. There are 6 planets (energies) in this one Cardinal Earth sign (state of being). Cardinal Signs like to begin things, they are active and want to be in charge. For instance, Capricorn is the Earth sign that expresses itself best in practical matters pertaining to business and career. This Zodiac sign is symbolized by the mountain goat, always climbing to achieve it's goals. Capricorns are hard workers and make efficient bosses and are very good, usually, at running their own business. Just don't expect a Capricorn to be in touch with the emotional pieces of relationships, they're more business oriented.
So, what does this mean for those of us who are not Capricorns? It means, you have this energy somewhere in your birth chart and can utilize it to get moving on a project, goal or business that you've been thinking, dreaming or slowly moving toward for the last couple of years. The Sun and Moon aligned in Cap, are getting an assist from positive aspects to Mars (action) and Pluto (change), to direct your efforts toward what you want to make happen. While you probably won't see overnight success, it's important to keep on keeping on because you will eventually see results!
Mars and Jupiter are both in the Fixed Water sign Scorpio at this New Moon adding passion and perseverance to your focus. Mars aligns with the Sun and Moon like a watering can to help grow your ideas, while Jupiter increases your opportunities or knowledge of what to invest in with Pluto's transformational talents. Stay alert for hints of what direction to move in. If you face obstacles, don't push too hard, instead, allow them to dissipate on their own and wait for your chance to make a move.
New Moons allow us to look inward. This one can benefit from positive sextiles to Chiron from both the Sun and Moon. Chiron, known as the wounded healer, can bring an opportunity to put things right. This "centaur" also trines Mars and Jupiter, meaning that the insight one gains along the way, may not only bring about a catharsis, but allow you to move in a new direction as well.
I hope you direct your efforts well in moving toward what you hope to achieve this year. Persevere, conserve your hard-earned resources and hang in there! Remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground~

Supermoon Full Moon January 2018
Happy New Year Everyone! This is the closest (perigee) the Moon will be to the Earth all year. The next Supermoon is on January 31st, and it will also be a Total eclipse of the Moon. Tonight's Moon is very powerful, being in it's own sign of watery Cancer, a Cardinal sign that likes to get things done, especially as it involves home and family. A lot of people are gathering with friends and family for celebration that involves wonderful dishes deriving from many cultures, some prepared to ensure good luck in the year ahead. Some are wondering how they are going to be able to continue feeding their families.
The chart for the Full Moon shows it opposite the Sun, Venus and Pluto in Capricorn and just past an opposition to Saturn, newly arrived in his home territory. With a heavy emphasis on pragmatic Earth energy, it might be easy to overlook the Moon's influence. I doubt however that will be possible, given the emotional nature of the Moon and her interaction with Mars and Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces... that's a grand trine in Water signs. Feelings and our need to nurture and be nurtured, as well as protect our loved ones, is strongly influencing where people are coming from right now.
Watch out for getting carried away or caught up in any hype that Mars and Jupiter may be stirring up in Scorpio. By that, I mean fear and suspicions that either come out of confusing situations or cause more confusion. The Grand Water Trine can be very helpful for letting feelings flow which may be overdue. However, we don't have to act on all our feelings or even express them all to everyone... we just need to get them out without devastating our loved ones! When actions are driven by emotion and Mars, the God of War is aligned closely with larger-than-life Jupiter (Thor) it can lead us down a path of destructive behavior if we aren't watching out!
Tomorrow's Direct Stationing of the revolutionary planet Uranus can suddenly lead us in a new direction, hopefully for the better. I think I will adopt a wait and see approach and not go running off after some new adventure. with all the heart strings being pulled right now, we don't need to react in haste to anything. That transformer Pluto will feel the challenge of anything coming from change-maker Uranus, seeing as how he deals with the underworld. If you need to release past hurts, sorrows or wrongs, do it gently with some kind of ritual that allows you to leave the past behind and prepare for the challenge of new adventures.
Remember, as you start the New Year with hope in your heart for the months ahead, to experience joy every day and share it with your loved ones. Oh yes... and remember also, to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground~
