Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini, Sunday Nov.30, 2020

    Early tomorrow morning, at 4:29 am, the applying opposition of the waxing Moon at 08 degrees of Gemini will culminate in an opposition to the Sun at 08 degrees of Sagittarius. This is a Lunar Eclipse, the first in a two-part eclipse cycle, with the second being the Total Eclipse of the Sun on December 14th. 

   Communication, especially with close relations, family or friends, is highlighted, as a need to address imbalances and misunderstandings comes to light. There may be confusion and difficulty seeing another's perspective, if you are only looking from your point of view. Consider both sides and try to find a middle ground for discussion. It's important to say what you need to say, with kindness and love and thanks to Chiron's influence,

   This the Gemini Moon makes difficult aspects to expansive Jupiter and transformative Pluto. Gemini is curious and looking for options, while Capricorn would much rather endure the status quo. Challenges arise from the structures that are breaking down, adding to the apparent angst of those formerly in positions of power... yes, on the national scene, as well as at home and locally in our communities! Jupiter's job here is to look for the things worth keeping as well as the new opportunities that are being unveiled.

   There are lots of unknowns with impending change. Stay out of fear. Embrace the possibilities that a new direction can provide and as opportunities arise around you, see if you can adjust to a new way of being. Remember, you cannot control circumstances, situations, events or people, so your only option is to take care of yourself and listen to others. As much as we may want everyone to be on an even keel, that is not possible. Each person is at their own point on their soul's journey and it is all right! Do your best and allow others to do theirs.

   It is all right... so let it be. Keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.

Scorpio New Moon

    In true Scorpio fashion, just 7 minutes past midnight tonight, so early Sunday, the New Moon secrets itself into position at 23 degrees of this covert water sign. The impetus here is going into things deeply and with awareness, especially as it involves joint and shared resources and creative endeavors. Mercury joins the Sun and Moon in Scorpio, adding an investigative component to this already intense energy. The end game is to get to the bottom of whatever you need to uncover. Whether it's your own or your partner's deeply held feelings, or your business associate's control of the books, it's important that everyone comes to know the values, and intentions of all involved.

   Once Mercury, the archetype of communication and interaction, went direct on election day and Mars, desire and direction, went direct just yesterday, we are set to move over already familiar territory in our efforts to gain a forward momentum. The caution here is simple... no hasty action, it's going to take time to put plans back into motion, one step at a time and in collaboration with others.

   Another consideration in the New Moon chart is Venus, currently in her rulership of Libra, wanting fairness and equality yet being confronted with the excessive forces of Jupiter, the power-mongering of Pluto and the restrictions of Saturn all in the business-like sign of Capricorn. The divine feminine is a bit tired of taking a back seat to the status quo of the old-boy network that has been in control for so long, oh right... since the founding of our country!  Gone are the days of John Wayne-like cowboys riding in to rescue the damsel-in-distress. Women are smart and know what they need and want. They are not willing to sit idly by to wait-and-see what is left for them. This New Moon accentuates that conflict and allows some positive strides to be made.

   This is the time to face your responsibilities, work hard toward gaining the respect of others and striving toward your goals.  If there are still obstacles or delays due to past situations, relationships or events that need to be removed before progress can be made, then now is the time to release them. That may involve a change of attitude or some professional help in order for the transition to happen. There are a lot of supportive energetics at this New Moon and much progress can be made incrementally as long as you and your partners are willingly to hang in there over the long haul. 

   There is much to be gained by being brave and being honest with yourself and your significant others about what you want to achieve. Strive to transform your life and be your best self by recognizing what works, what doesn't and what needs to be discarded so you can embrace the new life you so desire! All around us, people are waking up to these very insights and there's a sense of hopefulness in the air. 

   Remember while throwing out the old and embracing the new, to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground~
