While the Sun transits Cancer (the sign of emotional intelligence), we have the full Buck Moon in Capricorn (the sign of hard work & discipline). The spiritual “antlers” that we sprouted in springtime, collectively, have achieved maturity.

Today, 13th July at 11.38am ET, the Moon will be full at 21 degrees, 21’ Capricorn; this is a SuperMoon, as the Moon will be especially close to the Earth at this point (approximately 220K miles!)

The current opposition between Sun and Moon highlights the tension between adult goals/duties our need for play, childlike wonder + lightheartedness. Check where Capricorn & Cancer fall in your chart for a more precise understanding of this lunation’s impact.

There’s opportunity now in breaking free of old attachments & burdens, and creating a new legacy that honors our innocence, and our aspirations.

the SuperMoon is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn…Pluto, which rules Scorpio, is the planet of death + transformation, and it’s asking us to confront secrets, death, and our sub-conscious workings. A secret or uncomfortable truth comes to the fore now, demanding that we acknowledge and resolve anything that we’ve been ignoring.

Meanwhile, Mercury in sweet Cancer sextiles Uranus in Ta**us…which means that we’ll be open to risk-taking and playful experimentation; but it’s more about changing up the program rather than tearing it up. The Earth trine between the Capricorn Moon, Uranus and the North Node in Ta**us brings a pleasant grounding force into our lives now.

Additionally, Venus in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces, suggesting that our fantasies of love may not match the reality unfolding before us. Allow some extra time to digest all the revelations brought by the Full Moon conjunct Pluto.

We may need to recalibrate, building a new vision of the future, utilizing Capricorn’s steely determination despite the hurdles we encounter.

Finally, the trine between Venus in Gemini and Saturn in Aquarius will prompt us to seek stability and long-lasting intellectual compatibility in our relationships…very Capricornian themes.

Today is “Guru Purnima”, a day when hardcore yogis commemorate Paramahansa Yogananda, who is credited with first bringing the philosophy and meditation practices of yoga to the West.

Paramahansa Yogananda was, incidentally, a Capricorn, born 05 January 1893 in Uttar Pradesh, India…so it makes perfect sense to celebrate him today, during the Capricorn Full Moon.🐐♑️🌑

Yogananda was the first major Indian teacher to settle in America, and the first prominent Indian to be hosted in the White House, by President Calvin Coolidge, in 1927. He popularized Kriya yoga and meditation as a self-study and self-realization practice.

Yogananda’s book “Autobiography of a Yogi” is considered one of the top spiritual books of the 20th Century…it tells how Paramahansa’s guru prepared him spiritually for the unheard-of mission of bringing yogic teachings to the West, at a time when this was largely unfathomable. Yogananda spread the teachings by describing how Western materialism and acquisitiveness could be balanced with Indian spirituality in daily life. Although Christianity in its purest sense maintains many of the same ideals, we in the West have perhaps let some of the essential concepts become tarnished by more worldly concerns.

Steve Jobs, Apple’s founder and CEO, felt Yogananda’s teachings had had such a profound influence on his own life & personal development, that he ordered copies of Yogananda’s book to be distributed at his own memorial. 🍎🖥🤓

I highly recommend picking up a copy of “Autobiography of a Yogi”, and giving it a read…see if it facilitates your own journey & sense of joy in life. 🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🕉

The Sun is in Aries, the Moon is in Cancer…the mind and the heart are at odds. But this can push us to greater purpose, because the friction thus caused forces us to challenge ourselves. *We don’t want to be lazy, complacent or self-satisfied.*

There’s a French saying, « se remettre en question » it means to check yourself, examine those assumptions, see if the thought processes are sound. That’s what square aspects help us to do.

Aries wants to compete, to win, to dominate! 🦾Cancer wants to feel protected, loved, and nurtured. 👩🏻‍🍼 How can we reconcile these 2 urges, that represent divergent but equally valid Parts of the Self? ↔️

Mercury sextiles Mars and Juno (the sign of marriage and commitment). We’re seeking loyalty & consistency in all our relationships. It’s about the “ride or die” people in our lives. Let them know you love them today however you can- tell them how much they matter.

Jupiter in Pisces forms a sextile with the Moon’s North Node (now in Ta**us). The North Node represents the energy we are moving towards. We are especially concerned with building prosperity and abundance. Consider whether you are truly passionate about the work you’re doing. How can you maximize the fulfillment you get from your livelihood? Remember that we are only here for a short time…you won’t be taking the material goods and assets with you when you die. We can enjoy material things without being attached to them . 💸🪤

Since the Moon is in Cancer ♋️, we are inclined to go within, to put on our protective shell so that others cannot hurt our tender hearts. The Cancer Moon squares Chiron in Aries, reminding us of old relationship wounds & trauma. Don’t go so far into your shell that you deny yourself a chance to live fully. Use meditation & the spiritual tools to explore how to rebuild your capacity to love. 🪜❤️‍🩹

Mercury, the planet of communication, travel & technology, is the nearest planet to the Sun, has the shortest period of revolution around the Sun, and the highest average orbital speed. It’s quick!

Named for the messenger god of the Romans, in astrology, Mercury rules Gemini ♊️ and Virgo♍️ , two signs that are particularly adept with marketing & communication. These are Mutable signs, they shift easily.

Over the next few days, Mercury (currently in impulsive Aries), will be making some interesting moves.

Yesterday Mercury sextiled Saturn, and although Saturn is the great taskmaster of the zodiac, the pairing of energies between communicating Aries style, will be well-matched to the visionary approach that Saturn assumes while it transits humanitarian Aquarius. The messages you send to the world should be for the greater good of humanity. 🪐

Today, Mercury sextiles Mars, putting extra power and will behind all we say- be careful with coming across as too forceful.

Sunday, Mercury squares Pluto, creating friction between our words and all that lingers beneath the surface. Mercury is about dismantling things and putting them back again…use your detective spirit to decipher what people are expressing to you now. 🕵🏼‍♀️

🎂♈️the Aries edit♈️🎂

HPBD to another brilliant Aries…filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, born 06 April 1939 in Detroit MI. Aries ♈️ Sun, Capricorn ♑️ rising, Scorpio ♏️ Moon.

Director of such classics as The Godfather (trilogy), The Outsiders, Rumblefish, Apocalypse Now, One from the Heart, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Peggy Sue Got Married, Youth without Youth. Screenwriter of the original screen adaptation of The Great Gatsby, and so many others. Too many to name here.

His films are exciting and engaging, but most of all - they have a deeply spiritual probing element (hello, Scorpio ♏️ Moon!). 🦂Because of that, Coppola’s films become classics and relevant throughout the generations. He deals in universal themes like family, betrayal, the human will.

Coppola is know for his unrelenting work ethic. Incisive - driven- uncovering mystery: that’s what we get when Aries + Scorpio energy are joined in the natal chart.

Coppola based Apocalypse Now in part in Joseph Conrad’s novella “Heart of Darkness” (1899). There are also key references to William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. These works force us to contemplate what happens when we, as humans, are separated from rules, norms, “society”.

*When Scorpio is prominent in your natal chart, you are unafraid of the dark side side of the human heart - and that’s a strength. By confronting the taboo, and death, the Scorpio finds strength & transformation. * ♏️

Coppola is still very much alive and working in experimentation with the art form (as opposed to churning out “factory” films repeating his old style). 👏🏼🎬🎥

Tenderness & affection become more abundant now because today, Venus, (planet of love & worth), moves into Pisces, the sign of her exaltation, at 11:18 am ET. From now until May 2nd, we’ll find it much easier to melt into romance, pleasure, & empathy. ♥️ Let’s get creative!

Despite the lingering pressure of the Mars-Saturn conjunction, Venus in Pisces helps to soften boundaries, encouraging us to merge with lovers easily. We’ll be more intuitive and dreamy, picking up on others’ desires. However, with Jupiter & Neptune already flowing in Pisces’ murky waters, it may be tough to separate fact from fiction. 😻 Is is love or lust?

For now, we may not even care to see reality clearly. 😶‍🌫️ We’re more open to forgiveness and understanding…it’s all about tolerance, flowing with whatever comes. Just be careful not to fall for any clever tricksters who manipulate your naive, trusting side (which will now be heightened thanks to Venus in Pisces’ rose-colored glasses!) 🌹🌹🌹

This sweet & gentle Venus placement will contrast sharply with the detached somewhat more logical vibe of Venus in Aquarius, or the status-seeking clenches of Venus in Capricorn. You might also notice that Mars & Venus (which were traveling together for several months), are now separating more and more. ↔️

During its Pisces sojourn, Venus will be harmonizing with Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter & Neptune. And at the end of April (during Ta**us season), we’ll receive some very romantic moments from the heavens…stay tuned!📡

Elsewhere in the cosmos, the Sun glitters on in bombastic Aries, while the Moon prances in flighty Gemini. We are prone to friendly conversations and entertaining unlikely theories. The Gemini Moon makes it fun to play around with ideas, even if plans go nowhere for now. 📞

With the Moon and Venus both in changeable Mutable signs today, it’s easier to see others’ POV, even when we don’t agree. Enjoy the ride and let’s see what new delights Venus in Pisces brings our way!♊️💗♓️

Today, the Sun in Aries squares the Moon in Cancer. Our ego, the mind (Sun) is in conflict with the heart (Moon). 🌅♈️◼️🦀🌙

Meanwhile Mercury in Aries trines Saturn in cool Aquarius, helping us to stay analytical and consider current blocks and challenges with detachment. Break down your plans and then build them up, make your changes - you can do it.

Despite tremendous “get up and go” in the air, we may be inclined to stay home, protected, close to our trusted ones. We don’t want to be exposed to any nonsense from people who don’t really “get” us. That’s effect of the Moon in Cancer (the Moon’s) home sign. 🌚♋️

Additionally the Cancer Moon trines Venus in Pisces- we are thus encouraged to stick with whatever(and whoever!) makes us comfortable.

Our desire to play it close to the vest is the right way to go. Water sign energy (care of the Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Neptune) is asking us to go with the flow and respect our vulnerability and private emotion. Replenish your heart chakra.

Even if it feels heavy or confusing at times, embrace whatever you’re feeling and don’t push it away, today especially. 💗 Move at the pace that your intuition suggests. Meditate, for the answers are already within- allow the Universe to speak to you. Only then will you manifest the miracles you so ardently desire. ❤️🧘🏻‍♀️

The Strawberry Full Moon in Capricorn arrives today at 2:39 pm ET, and once again it’s time to face the music.🎶 This Supermoon closes an intense period of reckoning ….we’ve been pummeled with big emotions since the Sagittarius & Gemini eclipses in May and June😵‍💫, so if you’re still with us…congratulations! 🏆😱

As Mercury begins traveling direct again, we can pick ourselves up and begin integrating all the wisdom and insights of the past few weeks- we decide what should stay, and what should go.

There’s potential for a volcano of emotion now, as the Sun and Moon oppose one another…the Ego conflicts with the Heart, and especially during Cancer season, we are brimming with passion. If it’s feeling like too much, give yourself the opportunity to take a break -seek refuge in nature🏝. You’re not alone 🔥🪂🔥

On the soothing side, the Cancer Sun trines Jupiter in Pisces, bringing some generous vibes to our interactions. Additionally, Saturn will sextile Chiron, helping us heal any emotional wounds that are still rankling around the heart chakra.

The Capricorn Full Moon is asking us to show up and make the changes we must make in order for dreams to come true. 🧩🧩🧩

It’s a good moment for facing any areas of our life in which we could be more committed, responsible or disciplined (all Capricorn specialties!). ⛓

We can reflect especially on our attachments & emotional habits now…where have we allowed ourselves to slacken and just “allow” things. Or areas in which we haven’t done the work, because we are too comfortable to commit to deep transformation. 🦦🦦🦦

If there’s any area of life in which you’ve permitted things to get sloppy & stagnant, you’re likely to feel pressure there, because Capricorn is all about getting into formation…give yourself tough love. This will definitely feel like an uncomfortable match with cozy Cancer season, so stay the course. 🦀🦀

Lean on the steadfastness of the Capricorn Moon to take baby steps toward the goal that feels most uncomfortable to you now. 🐐🐐🐐

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 🧗🏻‍♀️🏔 See you on the other side of the mountain…and steady on! 🖤👊🏼🐐

< caught in the crosshairs 💫>

As if Monday vibes weren’t bad enough, today’s planetary weather adds plenty of turbulence to the mix. 🌪🌪🌪

Mercury squares Jupiter this morning, making us less loving in our judgments —we may even go so far as to misspeak or make a passionate pronouncement about someone that we come to regret...so try to keep your mouth shut, just for today, OK?🤐👺🙊

You see, Jupiter is a HUGE planet that magnifies everything- so when it’s square another planet, it could mean that we make a mistake in a MAJOR way. (Hey, go big or go home, right? But with this transit, it looks like we’ll be doing both!)😳

Next we have a square between the Sun in Ta**us and Saturn in Aquarius. Ta**us wants things to stay the same, reliable, comfortable- whereas Aquarius wants to show individuality, buck the trends, and shock the establishment⚡️...this conflict implies that we feel thwarted by what’s expected of us (convention).
The Moon’s stay in rebellious Aquarius makes us feel these limitations with added power. 💥💥💥

Amplifying the above, we have the Last Quarter Moon 🌙 in Aquarius square to the Sun ☀️ in Ta**us. Yes it feels like those Last Quarter Moons come around quite often, doesn’t it!?! 💆🏻‍♀️Since airy Aquarius is somewhat detached from emotion, it might be challenging to express our angst in healthy ways. And this lunation indicates that we (or others) may “act out” our frustrations, rather than feel our way through...so be mindful. Easy prays, right?🤦🏾‍♀️

Happy Monday!👀👻⬛️

< strength in partnership 🏝 >

The Moon is in Libra ♎️, encouraging us to work on relationships, be kind and seek accord with others. No man or woman is an island...even the animal and plant world shows us that cooperation is fundamental to growth and success
🌳⚖️🎋
Mercury (the communication planet) is heading toward a square with Venus (the love planet) tomorrow, so there may nevertheless be some hiccups and challenges as we navigate our interactions with others. Every rose has its thorn...but
we can still appreciate its beauty...🌹🌹

There could be a slight feeling of being under-appreciated or we may encounter some hyper-sensitivity around blocks or dashed hopes. Maybe a reality check comes up today when dealing with others...be as compassionate as you can while respecting yourself.
🧘🏻‍♀️
Aim to balance your own spirit, your selfhood...engage in some small moments of self-care today, even as your relationships and family draw you in. ❤️

The Libra Moon reminds us that balance in all things is key. 🌙

First Quarter Moon in Leo 🌙:
Pride, the creative Self, shine bright like a diamond. 💎
The Motto of Leo is “I will”, so Just Do It today.

First quarter of the Moon means we’re gathering steam...kicking ass and taking names...We feel compelled to take action and speak out against anything we see as unjust (globally or personally).

The Leo Moon is square the Sun in Ta**us, so there’s struggle between the existing Comfort Zone (Ta**us) and the things we want to achieve (Leo).
⬛️☄️⬛️☄️⬛️
This is an opportunity to just break out of your routine and try something new. You can’t move forward by standing still...so even a small step now could have major impact. But don’t go “scorched earth”
without considering others’ feelings. Remember we’re all in this together, we gotta find a way to make it work!
🔥🔥🔥

Venus in Ta**us is semi-square Neptune today: again, tension in love 💗, what we value most (Venus) and what we think we see...Neptune is the planet of illusion, of fantasy...so we may be experiencing some self-doubt, making accusations. 😳
The other side of this is getting lost in dreams and not assessing situations realistically. Make a list, write down pro’s and con’s. When Pisces energy (illusion) is strong, we can solve the problem by leaning into Virgo methods (precision, concrete evidence, facts).

Moon square Mercury, Venus, Uranus:
We may get some nasty surprises if we force others to talk...be supportive but reserve judgment and don’t teach anyone a lesson- not today! 🙏🏼😂

To maximize the energy of this day:
- Don’t jump to conclusions
- Don’t be arrogant
- Don’t speak harshly or spread gossip

- Do respect yourself & others
- Do take small tangible steps toward your LT goal
- Do consider new perspectives as fresh ways to meet objectives
- Do collaborate gently while honoring your own principles

< sweet surrender >

Give up.
Give in.
Give way.

That’s what my acting teacher, the great Bill Esper, used to tell us, his actors, during our intensive acting classes during his 2-year program. I’m remembering Bill today, and the wisdom of these words, which were originally spoken by Bill’s teacher, Sanford Meisner. We gain so much when we surrender.

So much of our life is spent pushing to prove our point, to push our agenda, to convince of others to go our way, admire us, like us.

But what would happen if we were to truly let go, and give up, give in, and give way?
🌊
Today’s Ta**us Moon allows us to yield to sensuality, to enjoy all the things our body can do, and to appreciate ourselves, just as we are. Nobody - and no “body” is perfect. How would it change things if you just experienced gratitude and pleasure, right now, without always wishing for something different, better, more? Although we want to work for our goals, sometimes we get so narrow-minded, we forget to smell the roses. And life is short.
🌹🌹🌹
This morning’s tense screech (a “square”) between the Aries Moon and suspicious Pluto has subsided, and we now can revel in the life’s simple sensual beauty as the Ta**us Moon takes hold. 🥂

**us **usmoon
