Sagittarius New Moon

Less than a week into Sagittarius season, the Sun and Moon come together at 7:06am PDT tomorrow. The New Moon is a time to dream a new dream.

Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, benevolence and abundance, this New Moon’s energy is one of wisdom and optimism.

Jupiter has spent the last year in Sagittarius, and as it moves through the finals degrees of its home sign we are attuned to intuitive insight and spiritual inspiration.

Sagittarius is an energy of hope, luck and idealism. It encourages us to aim high and not concern ourselves with the details. Sagittarius sees the big picture, and allows optimism to fuel the journey.

This New Moon asks you to honor your dreams and to listen to what is calling you.

What is the vision for your life? What are your hopes and dreams?

Give voice to your intentions and trust that the path will appear.

Taurus Full Moon

Yesterday Mercury entered the heart of the Sun, making its inferior conjunction at 18º Scorpio. This aspect is a pivotal turning point in the Mercury retrograde cycle, and any confusion that has surfaced over the last couple of weeks may begin to become more clear. Mercury will continue its retrograde cycle through November 20, when it stations direct at 27 Scorpio. When Mercury and the Sun conjoin, Mercury is at its most invisible, and from this point forward Mercury will begin to emerge from the bottom of the underworld. Stay present and aware of any information that may reveal itself- as it may be insight into what has been hidden or in the dark.

A Full Moon at 19º Taurus closely followed this conjunction, with this aspect going exact at 4:35am PDT today. The opposition of Sun and Moon highlights a dynamic and tension. The opposition of Taurus and Scorpio is an axis of life, death and rebirth. Taurus is spring- it is Earth, the body, and fertility. Scorpio is autumn- it is water, emotions, and death.

Exalted in Taurus, this Full Moon brings a steadiness, calm, and presence. Venus in Sagittarius is the ruler of this lunation, and together with Jupiter, the two benefics are blessing us with abundance, compassion, and magnetism.

Full Moons bring endings and ask us to let go.

Reflect upon the ways in which you disconnect from your physical body. Spend time in your body and disconnect from all of the distractions keeping you from being present.

What are you willing to let die? Death is not the end, it is part of the cycle- it is alchemy and transformation.

Breathe deeply. The cycle of breath is the cycle of life. We cannot only inhale, fill, and gather. We must also exhale, let go, and release.
