Cosmic Weather:

“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been” – Rainer Maria Rilke

Today we celebrate the Spring Equinox – a time when day and night are about equal length as the Sun passes directly above the equator. This also officially kicks off the start of the astrological new year and the Sun’s ingress into pioneering Aries (at 11:33 am).

The life-giving Sun, which represents our identity and the basic urge to be, is said to be exalted in the “I Am” sign of Aries the Ram – meaning it is deemed to be the prime locale for the Sun to exuberantly shine and do its thing. The sudden re-emergence of the burgeoning life force in nature during the springtime, when everything is abloom, is thought to mirror the vast creative ability of Aries to manifest its desires in the outside world.

Mars-ruled Aries, the first of the fire signs, signifies energy that is initiating, spontaneous, brave, and courageous. Likewise, Aries season is the time when we are strongly encouraged to get the ball rolling with new projects, fresh starts, prolifically planting seeds of intention.

“Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction.” – Germany Kent

On another level, the Spring Equinox itself – with its equal amount of light and dark – is perceived to be a good time to reset the balance of things in our own lives so as to make them more enjoyable and fulfilling.

“Life is a tightrope walk. One has to balance the do’s and don’ts.” – Haresh Sippy

*All times EDT

On This Day in History: On March 20, 1969, Beatle John Lennon married Japanese artist and musician Yoko Ono in Gibraltar.

Astrologically, that day, romantic Venus, solidifying Saturn, and the nurturing Moon were all conjunct in trailblazing Aries. Expansive Jupiter and unconventional Uranus were also tightly conjunct in matrimonial Libra.

A few days after John and Yoko tied the knot – and while they were still on their honeymoon – the pair invited members of the press to join them in their honeymoon suite at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel to protest the Vietnam War (in bed) and preach world peace.

“If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there’d be peace.” – John Lennon

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology January 15, 2014: Full Moon in Cancer

“You will never feel truly satisfied by work until you are satisfied by life.” Heath Schuck, The Working Mom Manifesto

COSMIC WATCH:

A Full Moon in “maternal” Cancer tonight (11:52 pm EST) illuminates the polarity between our personal or inner world (home, family, and roots) and our public or outer life (career, duties, and ambitions), the latter signified by the opposing Sun in “paternal” Capricorn.

This nurturing Full Moon is a chance for us to get clearer on how we can successfully integrate both of these realms so that we can bring more enjoyment into our lives. Too, with the frenetic pace of daily living, it’s often easy for us to look upon life as something merely to be endured, instead of as a vehicle for self-actualization and fulfillment.

This feelings-oriented Cancerian lunation predisposes us to go within; to perform a “gut check” on ourselves, regarding where we’re at and how we got there. Feminine, protective Cancer, the sign of the womb and mother, has a very keen survival instinct and always knows what is in its best interests to do to sustain its existence. Included in the equation now may be a growing awareness of the need for administering liberal amounts of self-care to ourselves as a way to start thriving in the future. “Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.” Eleanor Brown

This nostalgic Cancer Full Moon may also find us journeying down “memory lane” to re-connect with, or reflect upon, our familial past. In general, there may also be movement or developments in affairs pertaining to family or our home life. “For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.” John Connolly.

This lunation may additionally be a good time to assuage or heal old wounds as we have benevolent, philosophical Jupiter retrograde conjunct the Moon and wise Saturn trining it from transformative Scorpio. The Moon and Saturn can also help us to coolly detach from our feelings and see things as they are instead of how we merely wish them to be. On another level, this trine is positive for re-organizing our domestic environment to make it more open and efficient, with Saturn injecting the minimalist or utilitarian influences.

Overall, Full Moons are a time for release, a time when we begin to empty out our chalices. We also may see matters suddenly coming to a head or climax. “You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought ‘I release the need for this in my life’”. Wayne Dyer

What activities could you minimize now that don’t add to your sense of personal well-being or professional fulfillment? What makes you feel nurtured and protected? What comes up for your when you think of your home, your family?

Full Moon Blessings to you!

Astrology July 15, 2011: Full Moon in Capricorn

COSMIC WATCH:

“Work, love and play are the great balance wheels of man’s being.” Orison Swett Marden

There’s a Full Moon in “career” Capricorn today (2:40 am EDT). Meaning that the Sun is in opposition to the Moon from “nesting” Cancer. With a Full Moon we aim to balance opposing forces. In this case, our “cosmic marching order” is to create a healthy equilibrium between our professional or outer world activities (Capricorn) and our obligations or duties on the home front (Cancer). We may also encounter real-life scenarios now that trigger “hands-on experience,” or offer “extra insight,” on exactly how to do this.

For instance, there could be a sudden event in the home arena that serves as a “wake-up call” for us to change or recalibrate our priorities at work. Perhaps the event makes us realize that we have been focusing too much on our career to the detriment of the needs of our immediate environment.  Or, vice versa. Maybe we have been too busy cocooning at home and now we suddenly realize that we need to re-engage again with the outside world. Perhaps we haven’t been working for a while and now we need to re-enter the work force to supplement the family budget.

Too, it could be that the Full Moon in Capricorn serves as a lightning rod for generating new revelations about our life’s work. Or, contribution to society. It may also be a good time to ask ourselves if we are truly happy or satisfied with the professional path that we have selected. Do we think that we are doing what we came into this life to do?

If not, we may want to make some changes now. Maybe scrap certain activities that have have become counterproductive or outmoded. We may even want to consider going back to school. Get new training to expand our job skills. The Full Moon in Capricorn does form an exact creative quintile with “change-agent” Uranus in “new beginnings” Aries. Uranus often demands that we “alter” or “reinvent” ourselves, so that we can lead lives that are a greater testament to our authentic being. And less a reflection of society’s or other people’s dictates for us.

Too, Uranus rules technology. This may be a good time to upgrade our tech skills in conjunction with our career (Capricorn). Or maybe employ some new technology to aid us in a job search.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy Full Moon Blessings!
