"We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more." - Carl Gustav Jung

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~
