Y'all ready for some shake ups? We have a very intense powerful new moon solar eclipse at 20 degrees Cancer exact on July 12 2018 at 7:47 pm PDT.
There will be two more eclipses that are even stronger than this one coming, so this is just the tip of the ice berg for change. However, this is still a very powerful deep intense new moon/eclipse that plants seeds of change leading us all to another step forward on our individual destiny the next 6 months, but is also connected to the next couple years of even greater change, which reaches epic climaxes by the end of 2020.
New moon/eclipse opposing Pluto
The strongest alignment to this new moon eclipse is the sun/moon in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn. Eclipses are wildcard energies that bring surprises with unexpected shakeups, hard to predict how it will unfold, but the fact that it's in Cancer opposing Pluto in Cap suggest home, family and work/public life is where this energy will manifest the strongest, including the structure and systems of your life. Find the houses in your chart that have Capricorn, Cancer, Leo and Aquarius. These areas of life (different for each person) is where the seeds of change are being planted right now.
Safety and security issues are coming to the surface. Intense feelings, memories of the past, fears and worry will increase. Over the next 6 months to 2 years comfort zones will be breached as we step into the unknown taking big strides on the path forward of our destiny, rocking the system, restructuring our lives, and forced to push past fears that hold us back.
Pluto in opposition right now shows that this eclipse new moon has a lot to do with personal power, how it's been given away to others, including family members, bosses, landlords, teachers, banks, the gov't, and anyone else that you see as an authority over you and your life. In some cases you could be the one that has been taking too much power from others. These seeds of change will start to break that power grip so that you can gain more control over your life, helping balance the power dynamic that's been lopsided for too long. There's an opposition between empowerment and disempowerment.
This new moon eclipse will be the seeds of change by eclipsing out certain people from your life the next 6 months, which can be family, friends, coworkers, or whomever is associated with your Cap,Cancer, Leo,Aquarius areas of life. You or they could moving away, change jobs, and even some deaths of loved ones are possible as well, but the loss can happen in other ways too. These events are part of the process that helps restructure your life, but might not feel easy at the time. You'll be forced to deal with something out of your control and comfort level.
The energy begins to stir up intense inner feelings, and outer circumstances that get really dynamic, intense, serious and volatile. This energy is highlighting the shadow that's been festering under the surface for years, not only the shadow of society and the world but the shadow within each of us that we deny. The eclipse can start to bring up the dark side that needs to be purged, or at the very least -accepted and integrated as part of being human. These light dark battles can play out in relationships, being projected back and forth, making someone the bad guy by not wanting to acknowledge our own imperfections, etc. Bad and good is subjective and every one of us has both polarities of light and dark that this new moon eclipse brings out. There can be flashes of new awareness and consciousness expansion, as we are able to see what normally is unconscious or hidden within the self or others. Again, this helps taking back our power that we have been giving away, which helps us restructure our life. These are just some examples of what this energy is all about. It plays out different for each person, depending on your chart. Dealing with power struggles to break yourself free is almost certain, whether that is fighting yourself, others, or both.
Six pointed Star
The good news is, the shake ups and changes are accompanied by two grand trines in place right now, forming a 6 pointed star that opens up outlets and opportunities.
Jupiter Direct
Jupiter is now direct after being retrograde for months. This is very good news for everyone and especially people that have Sagittarius rising, sun or moon. This means those folks can move forward now, albeit slowly as Jupiter moves towards its home sign of Sag by this fall, all thru 2019! Everyone's Sag area of life can start to move forward now and will get a huge boost in 2019.
Water Grand Trine
This new moon eclipse is one side of the Grand water trine with Jupiter and Neptune. This shows that these seeds planted right now, and no matter how challenging the changes taking place are, or how intense things are getting, there's a sense of inspiration for the future that we can feel and have an optimistic view that this is all for a higher reason and meant to be. Indeed, there is some kind of positive open outlet path available to each person, but requires courage and bravery to step into. The opportunity might not even look like the best option in the world, and you might be doubting it which could bring up fears and worry, but at same time, there should be a sense of idealism and inspiration about what's coming next, even if you don't have the full picture yet.
Earth Grand Trine
The other Grand trine is in earth with Venus, Uranus and Saturn. This shows an outlet and opportunity for practical mature changes, being attracted to something new and innovative, and yet, could have something to do with the past as well, and or offers stability and reliability in whatever that is. There is a sense of something new, exciting and radical, yet old and reliable being supported by authority. This could be about the start of changing the structure of your resources, money, relationships, health, diet, routines, work, etc, etc, everything real world and practical that shows true results. This is rare opportunity to take risk and make radical innovations that normally would not be grounded and reliable or supported by reality. This is a great outlet to clean up your home, work, health, life, etc, etc purging and cleansing in practical ways that have long lasting results. This can be on any level depending on your own chart.
Mars Retrograde with South Node
Mars is retrograde in Aquarius next to the South Node making Mars energy even stronger than normal which both Mars and South Node will be T-squared by Uranus in the coming weeks. This means radical fated changes on the way. The need for freedom gets very strong peaking on the next lunar eclipse in two weeks, but lasts for months. It's easier to get agitated, annoyed, aggressive, instigating conflict and challenging anyone that gets in your way of breaking free and doing what you want. There is a sense of having to push hard and break free out of old routines. There might be a choice of taking an easy way out connected to the past or having courage and stepping forward into the unknown, challenging the power and authority in your life. You might be forced to deal with something of the past in order to move forward in the coming months. It might take time to do something before you're truly free which can feel aggravating and frustrating. There might be a break from groups, organizations, friendships and community. Politics will be a source of increased conflict, fighting to break old structures and systems.
Of course all this energy happens in your own life on some level but also happens on the world stage and thru natural earth events and changes too. Shocking new events are likely the next couple months both for the earth and within politics and groups of people, including more public assaults and protests, and possible military/police actions. Values and the financial structures and systems both your own and for the world are also going to fluctuate next 6 months and beyond, and eventually change to something new. With Uranus T square Mars and the Nodes, these events are super karmic resulting in long term consequences, all part of the world changes that climax by the end of 2020.
Anyway, that's about the gist of what i see going on now. More intensity to what we've already been dealing with but these symbolic seeds planted right now are very important and fated that leads to major changes in your Cap, Cancer, Leo and Aquarius areas of life next 6 months and beyond.
Cheers to the revolution!

Capricorn Full Moon June 27 2018
Tonight is the Capricorn full moon exact 9:52 pm PDT at 6 degrees, conjunct Saturn.
This brings full illumination to feelings and circumstances. The moon is in detriment in Capricorn and Saturn is one of the most challenging energies in the chart, so this could be reflected by feeling heavy and serious. This is a reality check full moon bringing awareness to limitations, commitments and responsibilities. Some fears, stress and worry could also be highlighted.
As with every full moon, this is a turning point of the lunar cycle where change is needed. You could become of aware of what's out of balance in your life and circumstances. Some general examples could be putting too much time in home life and not enough in public life. Work, money and what it takes to have a better life could be a reflection of this moon but the awareness of that could also highlight TIME and that not everything happens fast, showing you the need to work towards something.
Goals and ambitions will take hard work and TIME to achieve. This is not the energy that supports fluffy feelings, snapping your fingers into the life you want by positive thinking. This moon reflects that getting where you want is a slow process that takes proper planning, strategy and practical action with one step at a time.
More maturity, wisdom, integrity, punctuality and reliability needs to be better balanced in your life and activity. Respect is earned and not given freely.
This full moon will also cross Pluto. Power struggles and opposition in relationships could be highlighted. The power and control dynamic in certain relationships could be out of balance which becomes noticeable under this moon. Issues with authority, both your own and others could come to light. Are you getting the respect you want? Are you being controlled and walked all over, or are you showing those traits to others. Whatever the issue is becomes bright which leads to changes and more balance in your life by taking the necessary action, but might require time to achieve what you feel you're lacking.
Home and family issues could come to light as well. Feelings about what you need to feel more safe and secure in your life could be reflected, but again, requires TIME to make the appropriate changes and won't be easy.
This moon is a turning point with changes for gov't, structures, systems, rules, and regulations on all the different many levels, from the structures and systems of your home and work life, to the local gov't, state and federal levels. Some kind of changes are needed and will begin to manifest.
Some kind of feelings or circumstances need to be transformed but in order to do that, an honest evaluation and a reality check needs to happen. Take off the rose colored glasses and stop over looking what's been wrong or festering under the surface. Stop putting the blame on others. Take responsibility for your life. If you are lacking something and don't have all your needs met, only you can make the necessary changes that will get you where you want to be. Saturn energy will give a sense of responsibility and motivation to see things in a practical light which helps you plan for the future and do the nitty gritty that it takes to get there. One slow step at a time! This time might test you in some way. Karmic lessons are at play.
These are some of the themes of a Capricorn full moon conjunct Saturn and Pluto.
Don't let it get you down. Let it motivate you to go after what you want. Happy full moon!

Gemini New Moon June 13 2018 - New info helps you perceive your life in a new light
New moon 22 degrees Gemini exact June 13 2018 12:43 pm PDT.
We get a new lunar cycle starting which offers new energy and different influences for the next 28 days. Gemini is about the intellect, information and communication. This will be important new cycle for how we perceive certain things; what we're thinking and communicating about.
The ruler of Gemini is Mercury which has just moved into the sign Cancer opposing Saturn in Capricorn. This indicates the change of perceptions and thinking might have something to do with the past, family, home, commitments, responsibilities and or obligations. This change of energy brings serious thinking about a few different areas of your life that need attention. There could be important home or family matters that develop over the next couple weeks. Perhaps new information comes in at some point about something in those regards. Sometimes negative communication or conversations happen that causes worry and stress, or you could experience difficult thoughts about something in your past, or in home environment but will also help you change the way you see it. You might find yourself overthinking something causing doubts about your current path, plans, etc. You might have to deal with something coming from authority figures that you would rather not deal with.
Venus is also changing signs into Leo. This shows that relationship energy, social activity and what we find attractive is about to change as well. Add that with the home and family connection, it's possible there will be family social events/gatherings in this cycle that has affect on the future, because the North Node of fate is also in the sign of Leo right now.
A strong desire for having more pleasure, fun and good times will increase but could also cause social events that get dramatic and over the top. Romantic relationships will also get more dramatic. In general the feminine will want more attention and praise in this phase. Pride will be a strong factor as well. Relationship activity, including family relationships will get new opportunities to move forward in some sort of a new way.
Venus is square Uranus in Taurus indicating relationships will be full of surprises and kind of rebellious. Unusual desires, and unexpected events are very likely. Seeing unexpected people including family is possible. Radical social events and issues in personal relationships could cause some mental stress. It can also be exciting with whatever happens being a bit out of the norm and unpredictable. Meeting new people or people from past is strong possibility.
Mercury is sextile Uranus so these events allows the mind to see things from the past in a different perspective, perhaps.
Saturn inconj North Node shows we'll need to make adjustments to the future and adapt to changing circumstances, making necessary changes to current plans and obligations.
Mars is traveling with the South Node in Aquarius, slowing down preparing for retrograde phase by the next full moon at end of month. The pace of life is also slowing down as Mars (action) is hardly moving. There is a releasing of the past in this phase, especially in terms of what you do in groups, organizations, community, friendships and even home and family stuff, as well as past hopes and dreams for the future. There might be a discontent with the action in your life right now causing you to want to change direction. Whatever you have been doing might not fill the void anymore, and you'll need to make changes in order to do something different for your future. Perhaps new information and new thinking comes in with this Gemini cycle. You might have to go and do something before you can totally move forward in new ways. That will become more clear later with the full moon but until then getting stuff done is at a much slower pace. As Mars stations its energy becomes stronger so sexual energy, anger, frustrations and the need for action becomes stronger, depending on person.
As Mars stations in Aquarius with the South Node there could also be significant public social events that makes the news (again). Also going backwards in a sense taking care of some sort of action in order to take new action for the future. This will be an extra long phase of taking care of something in groups, and the community. On world stage, it's the world community dealing with North Korea. Something with that is likely to go back to drawling board before it can totally move forward. Again, all that will peak by the next full moon so things are still moving forward until then, albeit slowly. Public, group violence could get amplified as well during station around full moon end of month.
On personal level the way you've been doing things in the past regarding your Aquarius area of life and community needs to change. Your hopes, dreams and vision for your future may need to change, or you might have to do something unrelated in order to make those visions and hopes a reality. Innovating, updating and stepping outside the box will be necessary unless you want to keep going around in circles with action that gets you no where. If something isn't working, change the way you approach it or do something different!
Neptune is also stationing Retrograde energizing imagination and intuition on the positive side or escapism and illusion on the negative side. Whatever way Neptune transit has been playing out in your life gets amplified as it stations Rx. You could become aware of how Neptune is influencing you the last few months for good or bad. Ocean/water events or weather events could also get amplified with the station.
That's my take on this. Enjoy the change of energy happening but don't let your mind get down or worry about what's out of your control as Mercury opposes Saturn this week.
I still offer custom reports on my services page if you need more details and not just this generalized energy.
Happy new moon.

Astrological Transit Update May 7 2018
Hi folks. I haven't been posting much here. I'm taking the year off before i start a new website for my writing. I'm in the mood for some astro tho, so here's a quick update on the general energy being reflected by the heavens above for anyone interested.
First of all, we're deep into Taurus season, and the Aquarius moon is reaching 3rd Quarter square in fated way. You might have some kind of obstacle or challenge, probably emotionally or about circumstances, related to the material world; something practical, regarding what you want and need.
Perhaps we've been too fix and narrow about something, now we are being challenged to step outside the box and have long term vision/objectives about the situation. Also might be trying to hold on to that buzz energy of the last week when it's time to let it go. There's already been a monthly peek of energy, can't hold onto whatever that was for you, forever. The energy is changing and the world continues to turn. Energy moves through cycles. Some level of acceptance and going within, grinding it out for a while might be required for a bit, before the next highlights arrive. New events are on the way soon!
Venus square Neptune (May 7)
The thing is, the ruler of Taurus (Venus) is currently square Neptune, which will probably make this 3rd Qrt moon not feel so bad. It's easy to see past what you would rather not deal with it. It's a little fishy for communications, relationships, socially and financially. It's one of those times that i'm not going to believe what people are saying and doing right now. They might be confused, they might be telling stories, little white lies, fudging the details, wishful thinking, or just seeing or saying whatever they want. Maybe they don't want to hurt someone, or they don't realize the bs type of energy this is, and under its spell, like everyone else at the moment. It's nothing serious, just one day transit. It's kind of sweet desires and over indulgent which the moon aligns well with today, offering those escapes of delight. However, Mercury is square Pluto so there has been some obsessive thinking, worry, seriousness, intensity, power struggles in communications, or just minor moments of intensity on the mind. With Gem Venus square Neptune It's like saying and doing two different things. This is just temp energy tho, f it, you might as well indulge, no? Or you can display Discipline! haha, i'm just messing with you. Do what you got to do. Art, movies, music, fantasy, indulging in pleasure, choosing both options instead of one - whatever - enjoy. Even though people want hardcore truth right now, Venus square Neptune makes today the day to escape it all, in some sort of a way, no matter how insignificant. The escape only lasts one day/night. Use it while you can. If you're reading this on Tues or after, it's too late, get serious and focused! If you're couscous and creative - great, use Monday for a boost to your artsy side, just careful of confusion in relationships or money matters.
Sun opp Jupiter
Sun opp Jupiter adds to magnifying the Scorpio/Taurus general energy next couple days, including some intensity and strong will. Money stuff might come up. There might be a focus on this years power struggles with people too, including the use and abuse of power. This will manifest in many different ways. Perhaps in the media, "me too type stuff". It can involve sexuality, gender war type stuff, work, power and authority issues that get highlighted with someone in your life that adds perspective, more understanding, knowledge, etc. Basically, you can learn from something significant in your circumstances next couple days; perhaps something that was under the surface, not clear, hidden, a lesson, etc. There might be a focus to integrate some of these lessons of this past year, turning a corner in progress in a sense, perhaps regarding resources, or something. Only caution is making something out to be bigger than it is if any conflicts should arise. The moon is suggesting indulging in that Aquarius chill pill and intellectualize some of those feelings that come up.
Saturn inconjunct North Node
This suggests fated adjustments were needed and karmicly made that affects long term stuff, knowingly or unknowingly. Compromise, adjustments, adapting, thinking of long term goals, plans, and so on. What we want might be very different then the grind, obligations, commitments and so on, doing what you have to now for future gains, in some kind of context. Make those needed adjustments for your future!
Mars square final degrees of Cap, slowing down for station late June
As the moon wanes this next week the energy still gets very intense as Mars in Cap builds square with Mercury and Uranus changing signs. I'm sure more war news arrives, or aggressive events. And in your everyday life, the energy will be trying to change by the Taurus new moon mid month, so some intense effort/struggle/energy of what you're doing is likely. Possible conflicts. This is a very big change of energy coming as Uranus leaves Aries and enters Taurus with Mars square! Uranus is a slow transit that had its way with the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Cap) for years and now the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) get to play with lightning for several years. This is rare. This is big intense financial news coming as well. Big news of natural disasters i would imagine. But that's already starting with Hawaii, etc, and other events are likely too as this energy builds.
The Taurus Revolution and a fight for expanded resources, globally and personally
Your Taurus house (area of life) is facing revolution. This next week might have some instability and or strong wills with earth moving moments, symbolically or otherwise that kicks this energy into gear. That next Taurus new moon is a good time to finally make a commitment to getting what you want for your life, which isnt going to happen by doing the same thing you've already been doing. When it comes to what you want and need that you don't have in the context of materialism, values, resources, safety and security, plus good ol fashion comforts, it's time to burn the old system down and truly go after what you want out of life. You'll feel the push if these energies align with your chart. This is a long process though, this is only the very beginning of a new 7 year phase in some area of your life, depending on your personal chart. We've all been individualized this past 7 years. Now we need to update values, and essential needs, create a new material world.
Sun builds trine to Pluto for a week or so plus is in new moon chart
Sun trine Pluto gives us determination, power and will later this week into second half of month for our objectives. This continues the power and intensity theme that sun opp Jupiter is stirring up with this week's 3rd Q moon. People will start getting more assertive, independent and rebellious, especially as Mercury gets closer to Uranus. Mars thru final degrees of Cap Sq Uranus/Mercury will be pushing to accomplish something, so something new can start. Sun trine Pluto offers that possibility to kick ass and take names. Being more secretive, private and evasive is likely too. More war like conflict as well.
Be careful of possessiveness, obsessiveness, stubbornness, narrow focus, jealousy, misuse of power, manipulation, sexual tension and all that shadow type stuff. Otherwise, looks to be exciting new phase of life that's been a long time coming, with lots of power and strong will available to achieve what we need and want at this point in our life. Earth moving moments are bound to happen this year. This is only the beginning.
A focus on resources seem to be a big part of this weeks energy. Enjoy today's escape if you have the opportunity!
Good luck, enjoy that new moon mid month, and take care.

Virgo Full Moon March 1 2018 - Seeing through illusions, finding greater balance between intuition and logic
This full moon is at 11 degrees Virgo exact 4:51 pm PST. This isn't a typical Virgo moon because the sun and moon are strongly aligned with Neptune, which changes the interpretation a bit.
Emotional climax
As always the full moon increases emotional energy; it's a peak in the lunar cycle which shows changes to feelings and circumstances next few days and beyond. More understanding and awareness sets in as consciousness expansion takes place. In this case, gaining practical perspective and breaking through some of your illusions and blind spots because of the strong moon opposite Neptune influence.
Full moon's are always a peak for relationship circumstances as well; changes begin to happen in your relationships as you see past the illusions you've created about yourself and others.
A full moon is about balancing polarities in your life.
With Virgo moon opposite sun/Neptune in Pisces it's suggesting people need greater balance between trusting intuition, senses and feelings vs trusting the mind, being analytical, practical and logical. It's not one or the other, it's about integrating both sides of this polarity for a healthier life and existence. You can indeed use your feelings/intuition AND understanding what's logical and practical with how to proceed forward. The mind is not an enemy when used properly.
This could also be finding greater balance between work and retreat, spirituality vs physical reality, how much you give to others (service) vs how much you take for self; acceptance and faith vs judgmental critical attitude about situations. People need some level of judgment and discernment about plans and goals for the future vs being overly idealistic, vague and dreamy. Your dreams and visions for the future are important but you'll also need to incorporate a practical well planned path to achieve those dreams. At this point there should be some understanding about how far you've come and what's tripping you up on your path.
This full moon will help you perceive where your life has become out of balance so you can let go of something, like unhealthy distractions, escapism, self sacrifices, feelings of victimization, etc so to create a better healthier path down the center, not being ruled by extremes. This moon is reflecting a need to take greater responsibility for your life, understanding that your thoughts, feelings and actions play a critical role for how things turn out, while also having faith and accepting what's out of your control. A level of acceptance in the moment to certain situations is needed but also practical planning and taking small steps to make the necessary changes that your life requires. Also keep in mind that not everything has to be perfect. Perfectionism is an illusion.
This full moon will help you work through recent illusions, confusion and uncertainty. This is also true for your relationships because it's moon sun opposition plus the ruler of this moon is conjunct Venus. Be easy on self and others, no one is perfect!
Virgo wants to narrow your focus, getting practical and organized, cleaning up, purifying your environment, restructuring daily routines, planning for the future, separating fact from fiction, etc. Full moon in Virgo shows a peak to all this along with a peak and change to any recent health circumstances. All this practicality needs a level of inspiration, faith, spirituality, intuition, creativity, compassion and empathy for self and others, in order to obtain a healthier daily routine.
Moon opposite Neptune will sensitize your feelings a bit. Strange mood swings are possible. You might have odd, hard to describe feelings, visions or dreams in some way. You could feel entrapped by your environmental situation, understanding that something needs to change but not sure what. You could gain a new perspective on something/someone you've never had before, which could be breathtaking, beautiful or downright scary.
Finding the middle ground
You might feel pulled between doing something that is logical and practical vs a grand dream of something hard to obtain. Remember extremes is what we're trying to avoid. Is there a certain path between those two options that's more reasonable?
This full moon could be a peak to recent building of spiritual, emotional, physical or mental fatigue. We're turning a corner now, for health matters as well, circumstances slowly begin to change over the next two weeks.
There's a pull between wanting to retreat and rest, being messy and disorganized vs working on something, cleaning up and doing what needs to be done. You don't have to do one or the other. It's possible to make time for both these polarities - rest and work.
Relationship realizations
This full moon can bring certain realizations and disillusionment about something, including key relationships so that needed changes can happen between you and others. This includes breaking through the self sabotage and illusions you've created about yourself and other people, perceiving something/someone for what it truly is. You can be aware of this without being critical and judgmental as you perceive yours and others character flaws.
Mercury Venus Jupiter - there's hope and faith to hang on to
Mercury is with Venus in Pisces and both are in easy alignment with Jupiter which is slowing down in Scorpio preparing to station retrograde by March 9. Jupiter going Rx will be a time to go within tapping into your faith and spirituality to get you through difficult times of changes. Going within trusting yourself/faith could create luck for actions. Mercury with Venus could be sweet talk or perceiving what others desire without it being spoken. This energy can also be creative, artistic and or musical. Going within tapping into inspiration through music etc can be healing and get you through while taking care of practical business in your life. This easy flow of energy to Jupiter creates compassion, strong faith, optimism and or spirituality. People could be more generous, caring and sensitive as the Virgo full moon reflects a need to be of service to others. Something could happen that improves your situation, leading to feelings that everything is going to be okay. Having faith that difficult life events happen for a higher reason is likely with this alignment because of all the Pisces and Jupiter energy in place. Trusting what is out of your control, having faith that your situation is for a reason that is leading to something better that's still outside your perception.
Moon square Mars - impulsive and moody
The other big influence for this full moon is Mars in Sagittarius at a difficult angle to both Virgo and Pisces. This creates some level of frustration and agitation. Some folks might feel conflicted about being direct vs passive, speaking your mind vs holding back. Some moody behavior is possible. It's also about feeling the need to act, being quick, impulsive and reckless vs taking things slow, with proper planning, being cautious and reserved. This is dynamic force that requires some sort of challenging action. This full moon allows for us to move forward, taking the next step in life that requires decisiveness, not escaping, avoiding or procrastinating your duty, etc. More honesty, integrity and commitment need to be part of your next step as well, moving past confusion, doubts and uncertainty.
Mars trine Uranus - Innovative action
Mars begins to move into easy alignment with Uranus which allows for outside of the box, innovative activity and solutions to any recent problems, being more assertive and confident in what you do. The difficulty is remaining kind, sensitive and compassionate to others while still showing confidence and leadership, and not being too impulsive or reckless. However, some level of risk and faith might be necessary next couple weeks before we enter an intense hard-work phase taking care of serious business after the next new moon.
Difficult health, wounding and or healing energy peaks next two weeks
Mars in hard alignment with Chiron shows that healing on multiple levels will be necessary next couple weeks, confronting your distractions, illusions and beliefs that have been holding you back.
On the world stage 'storms' literal and metaphorical get intense
On mundane world level, this full moon creates intense storms; a peak to ocean and water events, both on inner level for nations and literal through natural events. Accidents and conflicts peak next two weeks. Disillusionment about what some nations have been hiding is possible, including the truth coming out about topics that have been uncertain in the recent months. Lies and propaganda will be sorted out. In the USA the gun issue will continue to be hot topic of debate causing frustration and anger for some people when all the different groups agendas don't get their way. However, some surprising innovative action will take place but won't necessarily improve the issues. Something about Trump gets intense as Mars aligns with Trump's personal chart the next few days...
Pisces season
Everyone needs to balance introverted contemplation time, releasing negatives, vs times of extroverted direct action that moves you forward on your desired life path, taking care of the work and details that gets you there.
With that said, be sure to allow for rest, inspiration, spirituality, creativity, art, music, compassion, sensitivity, etc while still being responsible to your material life, not escaping through unhealthy means like drugs, drinking, procrastination, distractions, and so on.
