TAURUS NEW MOON

On May 7, 2024, we will be experiencing a very favorable New Moon placement especially for those with planets either in conjunction or in opposition to this Taurus placement by no more than 3°.  The energies of a New Moon signal a new beginning where we plant the seeds we want to grow in our garden of life.  It is the beginning of something that you might have been working towards or the start of something brand new.  Either way, it signals something new is ready to take its first steps.

 

This New Moon is in the sign of Taurus at 28° and will affect those with planets or one of the four angles from 25° of either Taurus or Scorpio to 1° of either Gemini or Sagittarius.  These are the placements of the conjunction and opposition.  Those with the square and sextile along with the trine may also experience a similar influence but likely not as powerful.

 

This is a time to initiate something that will come to its fruition some six months down the road when we are experiencing the full Moon in Taurus (November 15, 2024).  The Full Moon in Taurus will be the harvest of what has taken hold now and what you do during the next six months will tell the story of how things look at that time. We must nurture seeds to bring them to fruition.

 

In Taurus, the new moon speaks about creating something that stands the test of time, something that will build and grow and offer security on some level.  This has something to do with reliability and a steadfast approach. It is understood that it will take time to bring these energies into fruition and at the same time, understood that it will take hard work and a disciplined effort too.  You cannot become complacent and the effort you put forward is a direct indicator of the results you will experience.  If you don’t work hard towards an end result, you will likely need to either reevaluate or let go come the Taurus Full Moon.

 

The reason behind this push for hard work is that these energies have potential and are likely favorable. This is indicated by the placement of the New Moon which is sextile to Mars and Neptune. Mars is in the early stages of Aries and Neptune the late stages of Pisces.  Mars has to do with drive and ambition and is highly suggestive of the ability to really push forward with your objectives.  It is like a relentless force pushing you towards your goals and opportunities that are in front of you.  Neptune has to do with psychic perception and the potential of dreams becoming reality.  This is a gentle force where love and affection can be part of the picture, but insight is strong and a willingness to serve a higher purpose is part of the picture.  Together these indicators can assist in moving ahead, and because of the sextile, there is a suggestion of opportunities that are waiting but must be pursued if your wish is to make things happen.

 

There is also a trine from Transiting Pluto which is at the early degrees of Aquarius. Pluto is all about transformations and an indication that something is ending and that something new is on the horizon.  Pluto often suggests that there may have been power struggles and challenging situations along the way, but the trine suggests that the energies associated with this powerful force for change is in place and that it will take some time for you to completely see where this energy takes you. 

 

Know that something must be left behind for something new to begin and there are no halfway measures about what lies ahead.  The trine suggests easy flow and good fortune as well as opportunities at hand but expect some difficulties along the way especially if you are unwilling to let go of what has been in place previously.

 

Take advantage of the energies at hand with this Taurus New Moon.  Plant some seeds and nurture them.

SOLAR ECLIPSE ARIES NEW MOON

Today, April 8, 2024, we will experience a Solar Eclipse at 3:19 p.m. EDT which will be in sign of Aries at 19°. 

 

Those with their luminaries (the Sun and Moon) either in Conjunction or in Opposition to this placement will be highly influenced by this alignment.  Those with other plants as well as angles influenced by this placement will also be affected.  The Conjunction and Opposition are the most powerful of aspects although the Square, Trine and Sextile will also have an influence with this Solar Eclipse.  Use no more than a 3° orb of influence when determining how this Eclipse will affect your chart.

 

A Solar Eclipse in Aries is all about the energies of Aries.  There will be an outpouring of energy and a need for action connected to your personal needs.  The drive will be to achieve, and you will need to move forward with confidence as this is a significant time for those being affected. 

 

It is a time of endings and new beginnings and if you move too quickly without due diligence, which can often be the case with an Aries influence, then you can expect to learn lessons from this but should be able to pick up the pieces if necessary and begin again if you fail with your efforts.  Do not fear failure, but make sure you make attempts to secure what is needed to meet your goals. You are being taught to overcome any fear that stands in the way.

 

There is the potential to generate a balance between what others may wish for and what is important to you. This is often a significant time in the lives of those who are being affected and it will be important to also look at the Natal Chart to see what else lines up at this timing.  Sometimes what has been in place, especially with the outer planets, now will manifest on some level. You have the chance to begin anew and at the same time learn valuable lessons from the steps you have already taken.

 

This is an important time in the lives of those that are affected by this Eclipse, and it has been said that some of the leaders that have this placement in their Natal Charts (or using mundane Astrology the alignment with the country and its leaders) will be scrutinized and dissected because of their actions. This is a testing time on a personal basis and a time of reconciliation because of actions previously taken.

 

For those under this influence, this is the time to act and to pursue your visions with great vigor and make things happen.  Now is the time to generate what has been in place at least from a mental perspective and move forward with your objectives.  Do not jump but be certain to take action.

PISCES NEW MOON 2024

We will experience a New Moon on March 10, at 5 a.m. EDT at 20° in the sign of Pisces.  This New Moon is in the 3^rd decant, and therefore, has some Scorpio influence.  It is also sextile to transiting Uranus which is at 19° of Taurus. 

 Being in the sign of Pisces, and having some influence of Scorpio, there will likely be a strong sensitivity during this new moon phase.  The emotions are subject to fluctuations, and although those affected will be highly sensitive and quite emotional, their outward expressions will fluctuate from overactive to hidden or subdued. As a result, if you are affected by this New Moon you can be quite unpredictable but the New Moon energies can offer opportunities for change on some level.  Much depends on the houses involved in your own personal chart.

 

This is the time for change because what has been in place no longer serves a workable purpose.  If influenced by this new moon, you may feel the need for change but may also not want to ruffled the feathers that have already settled in.  You don’t want to disrupt things, but you know that a change is coming, and this is the time for planting the seeds for this transformation.  It is a time of new beginnings that can take about 6 months to germinate, and you will see some results (if you put forth an effort) during the Pisces full moon in September, 2024.

 

If influenced, you are sensitive and may find that you lash out without reason, but you should also know that outside influences can weigh heavy on you now.  You feel with intensity and can pick up on what others are feeling as your intuitive side is being influenced.  You can be quite psychically influenced and may know things before they unfold.  You likely will tend to keep these experiences to yourself however.

 

This is the time to lay a lasting foundation. Although the change to do so may be disruptive and unexpected in the ways it may unfold, you will find that over time it was exactly what was needed as you are now be in a place that offers some growth.  You can awaken to a whole new set of circumstances and a new perspective on life. 

 

Of course, the whole chart will need to be reviewed before a clear definition of what is possible as a result of the energies of this Piscean New Moon.  The whole chart paints the picture, and the New Moon starts the action.

NEW MOON JANUARY 11, 2024

This New Moon falls in the sign of Capricorn at 20° 44” on January 11, 2024, at 6:57 am EST. 

 

A new moon is a Conjunction of the Sun and the Moon. This Conjunction of the Sun and Moon also makes a Trine to Transiting Uranus which is at 19° Taurus. 

 The energies of Uranus are known as the awakener and the driving force behind change that is required at the time.  Uranus pushes us in new directions because our current path no longer suits our evolutionary process.

 

If you have planets or angles within 3° of this placement either by Conjunction or Opposition and to a lesser degree Square, Trine and Sextile, you will be influenced by this New Moon’s energies.  Check the houses of all planets and angles involved in your chart to get a full picture of what areas of life will be influenced.

 

The object of a New Moon is to set your intensions for a long-term goal that will manifest its energies by the time we have our Full Moon in Capricorn some six months from now.  Prepare yourself for what you deem important at this time.  It might be advisable to write your intensions or goals down. When we write something on paper, we set our intensions beyond just a mental concept.

 

There is a degree of indecision or hesitation when we are talking about Capricorn (which is ruled by Saturn).  Saturn is overly cautious and worried until its energies has been committed to something.  Due to Saturn’s influence, focus your goals around business pursuits and long-range plans. 

 

You must understand that you will have to work towards these objectives and there can be no half measures about this.  What you put into your goals will be scrutinized when we have our Capricorn Full Moon. Sometimes we can make changes along the way that better suit the situation although with Capricorn these changes may not come easily.  Uranus, however, will want you to jump but Saturn will want you to resist.

 

You will have to consciously plan your route of intension often bringing something new and exciting into life.  If you already had made plans prior to this New Moon, then you can look to see what is left to do to attain your goals.  In many cases, however, we begin something new under the New Moon energies. Capture these energies and use them to your advantage.  It is always more productive to work with the energies at hand, then to fight them and struggle with something unrelated.

SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON 2023

On December 12, 2023, we will be having a New Moon at 20° Sagittarius at 20° at 6:32 p.m. EST. 

 

This New Moon will be making a quincunx to Uranus at 19° in the sign of Taurus. 

 

New Moon’s energies are about new beginnings and often indicate a surge of activity or energy directed at making new plans of action, setting goals and aspirations, and moving in new directions within the framework of the sign and house position indicated by your natal chart.

 

Because this New Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius, our focus should be in areas related to the traits of Sagittarius.  If you have planets within 3° (17°-24°) especially by conjunction or opposition and any planets in the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces), this New Moon will affect you.  If you have other planets in these degrees but not in the mutable signs or in Opposition, you can also be affected by this positioning but not to the same degree.

 

This will be the best time to begin your focus to expand your horizons and plan action that is optimistic in nature and viewed as though you will gain perspective and advancement.  The ruling planet of Sagittarius is Jupiter and Jupiter bestows good luck and often fortunate conditions especially when we are being honest with ourselves and others and making plans that not only move us in a forward direction but also have a positive impact on those around us.  You can be independent in your approach but keep in mind that what you start at this time can also affect others.

 

You may have a more adventurous spirit and feel a greater sense of confidence under this influence, and because of this broader perspective and optimistic view, your chances of success may improve.  You may find that you are more open to new concepts and outspoken when it comes to your opinion.

 

On the negative side, you may have exaggerated expectations.  Over exaggerated ideals may not be reached but the higher your aim, the greater the potential.

 

Transiting Uranus is in quincunx to this positioning, and this often suggests that you must adjust to what is taking hold.  Perhaps jumping into situations is part of the problem.  Uranus will provide a push to find something new and sometimes without due consideration.  Take your time.  Don’t jump, but you should still advance with optimism and open doors that might otherwise have been closed. 

 

You have a more open adventurous spirit at this time, and you might want to travel and broaden your horizons.  This might not be a bad idea if you can prepare for it and can afford to take this trip.  A part of you wants to move ahead without too much forethought, so think things through before jumping.

SCORPIO NEW MOON

We will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Scorpio @ 20° on November 13 @ 4:27 EST.  This New Moon is highlighted by its opposition to Uranus and its conjunction with Mars.  Transiting Mars and Transiting Uranus are in tight opposition to one another. 

 

This Scorpio New Moon sets the stage for new beginnings often associated with occult energies (due to its placement in Scorpio).  All water New Moons are “feeling” focused but this positioning of the Moon being in the third decant suggests that not only is there the influences of Scorpio, but there is also a connections to Cancer.  This proposes that the family might be involved as well. There is intensity and the potential for power struggles because of the tight connection with Mars.

 

Pluto rules Scorpio, and Pluto and Mars together can indicate quite the power struggle. There will likely be no halfway measures associated with this connection. 

 

The opposition from Uranus suggests that we expect the unexpected and that change may be part of the process. Also, an awakening on some level has great potential for unfolding.

 

There may be sexual overtones connected with this New Moon’s placement.  Don’t forget this is the start of something that will reach maturity, or a culmination point in about six months from now when we have the Full Moon in Scorpio. 

 

Change can be disruptive and take place when you least expect it.  There may be something about what unfolds that is unexpected and it pushes us in new directions. 

 

This is likely to be a deep psychological time when we are asked to reach deep below the surface to uncover anything that has not been dealt with properly.  We may not like what surfaces, but it will be important to deal with it.  Watch for any form of violence or aggression, and do not put yourself in harm’s way.  Be especially careful when operating heavy machinery and when driving.  If by chance you get into an argument, do not take your aggression out while driving your vehicle. 

 

Check if this New Moon affects your chart.  For this New Moon to have an overriding influence in life, it should either be in conjunction with a planet or angle, or in opposition. Keep the orb of influence rather tight (no more than 3°).  Check also which houses are being influenced and how these other indicators might affect the overall picture of the potential in your chart particularly with what we have touched on in this post.
