As we approach 2025, the New Moon in Capricorn is on the horizon. On December 30, 2024, at 2:27 pm PST this celestial alignment offers not only an opportunity for transformation but also a guiding hand to lead us into the new year with intention and insight. Whether you are new to astrology or a seasoned enthusiast, understanding the key concepts highlighted during this lunar phase can offer profound insights and practical steps forward. Let's delve into the key themes:

1) Capricorn: The Grounded Dreamer
Capricorn, a cardinal, feminine, earth sign ruled by Saturn, is traditionally associated with long-term goals, self-discipline, and systematic progress. This New Moon offers a potent time to set objectives that require perseverance, strategic planning, and gradual advancement. Capricorn's energy is all about making dreams tangible through persistent efforts.

2) The Power of a Stellium
A stellium—a cluster of planets, asteroids, and trans-Neptunian objects—is converging in Capricorn, signifying a time of transformation that emphasizes the higher octave of Capricorn energy. These planets and objects include:
- The Sun and Moon: Which are always conjunct during a new moon. 
- Quaoar: Symbolizing harmony and creation, Quaoar's presence during this New Moon enables us to generate new realities while maintaining inner and outer balance.
- Pholus: Representing subconscious, inevitable changes, Folas helps us embrace and navigate the shifts that aren't always in our conscious control.
- Ixion: Pointing towards transformational healing and breaking free from outdated customs, Ixion's influence urges us to let go of what no longer serves us.
- Pallas Athena: Bringing wisdom and creative intelligence, Pallas Athena guides us to use our intellect and creativity in our new undertakings.

3) Sextile with Saturn and Nessus
Aligning in a harmonious sextile, Saturn and Nessus in Pisces play a crucial role in resolving collective karmic shadows. This alignment emphasizes the importance of moving away from judgment and focusing on unity consciousness. Remaining sensitive to subtle energy allows us to address collective wounds with compassion and understanding. (Please see below for a more in depth look at Nessus!)

4) Neptune and the North Node
Neptune in Pisces stands at an anaretic degree, conjunct the North Node, urging us to tune into intuition and take actions that align with a brighter future. This aspect encourages us to make choices rooted in higher vibrational energies, harnessing the power of free will to manifest positive outcomes.

Gemini Full Moon: Sacred Purpose

Exploring the Celestial Symphony of December 2024
On December 15, 2024 at 1:01am PST, the Gemini Full Moon is exact and the cosmos align to offer us a moment of reflection, transformation, and heightened awareness. There are several themes coalescing around the Full Moon, you can find insights into how these energies can be harnessed for personal and collective growth below as well as in the podcast!

1) Embracing Duality and Open-Mindedness
The Gemini Full Moon, shining brightly in the night sky, embodies the essence of duality. Gemini, with its curious and adaptable nature, invites us to explore both sides of every story and remain open to diverse perspectives. Opposing the Sun in Sagittarius, a sign that seeks ancient wisdom and higher truths, this Full Moon creates a dynamic interplay between inquisitiveness and the quest for meaningful knowledge. This opposition encourages us to balance our intellectual pursuits with our innate understanding of universal wisdom. By embracing both the analytical and the philosophical, we find ourselves better equipped to navigate the complexities of life.

2) Encouraging Intuition and Collective Transformation
One of the most compelling aspects of this Full Moon is its formation of a T-square with Neptune in Pisces. Neptune, the planet of dreams, intuition, and spiritual enlightenment, adds a layer of mystical depth to this alignment. Haley explains that this T-square challenges us to tap into our intuitive faculties and recognize the ongoing collective transformation. This aspect prompts us to engage with the unseen forces that guide our lives and to trust in the intuitive insights that emerge. By doing so, we align ourselves with the greater cosmic flow, aiding in both personal and societal evolution.

3) Galactic Center Conjunction: Awakening to Collective Consciousness
A notable highlight of the chart for this Full Moon is the conjunction of the Sun with the Galactic Center in Sagittarius. The Galactic Center, often considered the heart of our galaxy, symbolizes a source of immense energy and profound wisdom. Haley emphasizes that this alignment accentuates our connection to collective consciousness and our soul's purpose. This event is a powerful reminder that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. By attuning to the vibrations from the Galactic Center, we awaken to our higher selves and recognize the interconnectedness of all beings. Haley encourages listeners to meditate on this alignment and tune into the subtle messages from the cosmos.

4) Neptune’s Influence: Opening Pathways to Harmony
Neptune’s active presence in this alignment doesn't end with the T-square. It also forms a sextile with Pluto, which is trine to Uranus. This web of aspects highlights transformative and harmonious energies that further support our growth. Pluto, having recently moved to 0 degrees of Aquarius, signals the dawn of a new era, one characterized by innovations in collective consciousness and profound societal changes. I explain in the podcast that these celestial interactions serve as an invitation to embrace transformation willingly. The harmonious trine between Pluto and Uranus underscores the potential for breakthroughs and positive change, encouraging us to move towards a future built on higher vibrations and collective unity.

​5) Mars and Venus: Balancing Ego and Heart-Centered Action
Another significant theme in this Full Moon's astrology is the opposition between Pluto in Aquarius and Mars in Leo. This alignment highlights the tension between ego-driven motivations and the need for heart-centered action. The caution here is to be aware of the place we are coming from with our actions and thoughts; the temptation of ego and "rightness" might get us stuck, we are well suited to focus on actions inspired by love and compassion. Additionally, Mars opposes Venus in Aquarius, further emphasizing the necessity of rebalancing our energies. This alignment calls for harmony between our desires and our higher ideals, fostering a sense of collective unity and shared purpose. Haley encourages listeners to reflect on their motivations and strive for balance in their interactions.

Picture
This New Moon in Sagittarius is an invitation to embrace intuition, freedom, and heart-centered transformation. Let's take a closer look at the key astrological aspects and how we can harness these energies for personal and collective growth.

The New Moon in Sagittarius: A Catalyst for Change
The New Moon will reach its exact phase on November 30th at 10:21 PM Pacific Time and on December 1st at 1:21 AM Eastern Time. This New Moon in Sagittarius is a powerful time to set intentions and plant seeds of growth. Sagittarius is a sign ruled by Jupiter, associated with wisdom, freedom, and expansive horizons. Therefore, this lunar event invites us to reflect on our deepest desires and aspirations. It's an excellent opportunity to set goals that align with our true selves and envision a future that resonates with our soul's calling.

Astrological Influences: Pluto, Mars, and the Divine Feminine
Pluto's recent transition into Aquarius on November 19th brings a focus on freedom and progressive ideals. This movement encourages us to think about the collective and how we can contribute to societal evolution. With Mars shifting from Cancer to Leo, there's an emphasis on taking bold, heart-centered actions. Leo’s fiery energy inspires courage and creativity, urging us to step confidently into our roles as change-makers.
The conjunction of Ceres and Venus shines a light on wellbeing and the nurturing aspects of the divine feminine. This alignment invites us to reconnect with nature, honor our physical health, and embrace compassionate self-care. Ceres, often associated with agriculture and the cycles of life, combined with Venus, the planet of love and harmony, asks us to nurture ourselves and others from a place of kindness and grace.

T-Squares Highlighting Cosmic Karma and Co-Creation
Two significant T-Squares in the astrological chart of this New Moon further emphasize themes of transformation and karmic cycles. The first T-Square involves the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, and Saturn. This alignment supports pioneering efforts in co-creation, urging us to collaborate and innovate. The second T-Square with Orcus in Virgo focuses on cosmic karma. Virgo's meticulous nature encourages us to pay attention to the details and align our actions with integrity and truth.

Antares Conjunction: The Transformative Power of the Heart
A special mention goes to the conjunction on the Moon with Antares, often referred to as the "heart of the scorpion." Antares, a star associated with intense energies and profound transformation, amplifies the heart energy during this New Moon. This celestial influence supports the process of heart transmutation - transforming negative emotions and patterns into love and compassion. It is a reminder that the heart is a powerful center for healing and transformation.

Taurus Full Moon: Egyptian Goddess Ma'at

11/15/2024

Picture
As we navigate the profound energies of the Taurus Full Moon on November 15, 2024, we are invited to reflect and initiate transformative change. This significant lunar event, coupled with astrological aspects and divine guidance from Egyptian Goddess Maat, beckons us to embrace our inner truths and cosmic justice. Join us on the Everything Is Energy Podcast as we delve into the intricacies of this celestial moment.
​
Astrological Influences: Stable Yet Instability Awaits
The Full Moon in Taurus is generally associated with stability, grounding, and earthly pleasures. However, this particular Full Moon might feel different due to its conjunction with Uranus and the fixed star Algol. Uranus, known for its erratic and revolutionary energy, juxtaposes the normally steady Taurus, creating a sense of potential instability and unexpected change. According to Lisa Marie Haley, this alignment signals an opening for deep transformations and the uncovering of hidden truths.
The Sun in Scorpio, opposing the Moon, amplifies these themes of intensity and revelation. Scorpio, the sign of deep emotional waters and profound transformations, supports the release of what no longer serves us, while illuminating our paths with its incisive light.

Pluto’s Grand Shift: From Capricorn to Aquarius
On the brink of a monumental transition, Pluto is moving from the 29th degree of Capricorn—a degree synonymous with examining shadows within our physical and societal structures—into the early degrees of Aquarius. This shift marks the beginning of a 40-year period of transformative evolution in collective consciousness and societal structures. Aquarius, an air sign linked to innovation, humanitarian ideals, and collective well-being, encourages us to embrace change and co-create a new societal paradigm.
This era may highlight themes of trust and betrayal as we navigate the balance between individual freedom and collective responsibility. With this cosmic backdrop, the Full Moon in Taurus encourages us to plant seeds of intention for future growth, especially as we approach significant shifts slated for 2026.

Venetian Duality: Love and Creation
Adding to the intricate tapestry of cosmic influences, Venus, the planet of love and values, forms conjunctions with Ixion and Quaoar. Ixion, associated with darker aspects like betrayal and unethical behavior, contrasts sharply with Quaoar, which symbolizes joy and creative potential.
These dual energies invite us to discern and integrate both shadow and light within ourselves and our relationships. By honoring our creative power and maintaining integrity, we can align our actions with our highest values.

Embracing Karmic Justice with Goddess Maat
Goddess Maat, the embodiment of truth, cosmic order, and justice, offers profound wisdom during this Full Moon. As Lisa Marie Haley explains, invoking Maat’s energy can help us align with universal laws and embody our personal truths. This alignment fosters harmony within ourselves and with the cosmos.
To connect with Maat, we can engage in a meditative practice focusing on releasing negativity, embracing our unique truths, and envisioning actions that support both personal and collective welfare. This practice not only grounds us during tumultuous times but also empowers us to contribute positively to the world around us.

Unity Consciousness: The Illusion of Separation
One of the central messages of this Full Moon is unity consciousness. The illusion of separation is a barrier to true understanding and collective progress. By recognizing our interconnectedness, we can cultivate unity and harness the collective power necessary to shape our future realities.
As we meditate on these themes, we build stronger connections with those around us and reinforce the idea that unity and co-creation are vital for navigating the collective transformations ahead.

Preparing for Future Shifts
The upcoming years, particularly 2026, hold transformative potential. The energies of this Full Moon encourage us to sow seeds of intention and prepare for the profound changes on the horizon. Embracing these cosmic shifts with an open heart and mind sets the stage for future growth and collective evolution.

The Taurus Full Moon on November 15, 2024, is a time of reflection, transformation, and alignment with universal truths. Guided by the energies of Taurus, Uranus, and the wisdom of Goddess Maat, this lunar event empowers us to embrace change, foster unity consciousness, and prepare for future shifts. As we navigate this cosmic landscape, may we remain grounded in our truths and committed to the collective well-being.

Scorpio New Moon Goddess Eris

​
We have a new moon in Scorpio on November 1st 2024. During this new moon, and this entire lunar cycle, we are fortunate to have a powerful divine feminine goddess and force of nature coming through to support us in times of transformation: Goddess and Dwarf Planet Eris.

The discovery of Eris in 2005 sparked a revolution in our understanding of the solar system. Eris' discovery caused Pluto to be switched in classification from planet to dwarf planet in our solar system. Beyond her own status as a dwarf planet, Eris has taken on a symbolic meaning that resonates deeply with feminist ideologies. Named after the Greek goddess often associated with discord and strife, Eris embodies the complexity of feminine power—an archetype that challenges traditional narratives and invites us to explore themes of strength, defiance of overinflated ego, and social justice.

In Greek mythology, Eris was much more than a figure of chaos, she was and is a catalyst for change. Her involvement in the events leading to the Trojan War highlights her role in exposing the superficiality of beauty and the pitfalls of envy. The infamous "Golden Apple" incident, where she tossed an apple inscribed "to the fairest," sparked jealousy among the goddesses and set off a chain reaction of conflict. This myth serves as a reminder that discord can lead to significant transformations, echoing the feminist belief that challenging the status quo often creates space for new narratives and perspectives.

Eris, the dwarf planet, exists on the fringes of our solar system, much like the marginalized voices in society. Its discovery prompted a reevaluation of what constitutes a planet, challenging established norms and prompting the reclassification of Pluto. This parallel can be drawn to the return of the divine feminine, where the quest for equality often requires rethinking definitions and dismantling long-standing structures. Just as Eris defied expectations, the return of the divine feminine continues to push outdated boundaries, asserting that all voices, particularly those of women and marginalized groups, deserve to be heard. 

In a world that in the past has been dominated by patriarchal narratives, Eris represents the complexity of female experience—embracing both strength and vulnerability. The divine feminine reminds us that women and men are not monolithic; like Eris, the divine feminine embodies a spectrum of qualities that can disrupt and redefine societal norms. Eris's very existence challenges the notion that femininity is synonymous with passivity. Instead, she exemplifies how discord can serve as a powerful force for change. Feminism celebrates this disruption, urging society to question injustices and strive for equity. Eris reminds us that sometimes, conflict is necessary to break down barriers and create a more inclusive world.

Eris, both as a dwarf planet and a mythological figure, serves as a powerful symbol of truth and transformation. Her narrative encourages us to embrace discord not as something to be feared, but as a vital force for transformation. Just as Eris reshaped our understanding of celestial bodies, the return of the divine feminine continues to reshape societal norms, advocating for a world where all voices are valued. In recognizing and receiving the energy and wisdom of Eris, we empower ourselves to embrace the messy, beautiful struggle for equality and justice.

As we move through this next lunar cycle, let us not forget the lessons of Eris—an emblem of feminine strength that inspires us to question, challenge, and create a more equitable future. Let us also sow the seeds of unity and positive change of everyone and everything on our planet. I am thrilled to offer the second iteration of the Reciprocity Challenge in sync with this new moon.

Tune in as we also uncover the themes of moving from ego-driven actions to a state of unity and service, and the crucial balance of the four elements: air, fire, earth, and water. Join us for a guided meditation focused on heart alchemy and cultivating high vibrational emotions, designed to help you tap into the transformative potential of this full moon. Together, we'll reflect on how we can contribute to the cosmic balance and navigate the energies influencing us from now until January 2025.

As the scarlet sky unfolds and dawn breaks on October 2, 2024, profound celestial movements will envelope us, chaperoning a unique kind of magic. The new moon and solar eclipse in Libra, exact at 11:49 a.m. Pacific Time, is a moment destined for transformation and karmic justice. In this Everything Is Energy Podcast we will dive deep into this remarkable astrological event. Let’s explore the intricate layers of this transformative cosmic dance.
The Event: Solar Eclipse in LibraOn the morning of October 2, 2024, the solar eclipse coincides with the new moon, merging the sun and moon in a powerful conjunction. Eclipse rituals across the globe will be synced to resonate with an alignment that heightens the potential for new beginnings. This event is not just another astrological occurrence; it’s a cosmic call to rebalance and redefine ourselves.
The proximity of the south node to the moon during the eclipse underpins the importance of this alignment. The south node represents our collective and personal past wisdom. Integrating these insights propels us toward enlightened avenues. With the recent lunar eclipse emphasizing endings, this solar eclipse in Libra is a harbinger of fresh starts, advocating an era of balance, harmony, and rejuvenated relationships.
Key Astrological Highlights: Karmic Justice and BalanceLibra's ruling principle is justice—a timely reminder as we navigate societal upheavals and personal transformations. The eclipse spotlights karmic justice, urging us to reassess and realign our values, fostering balance within our lives and the wider world.
Astrologically, Pluto sits in the anaretic degree of Capricorn during this eclipse. This positioning denotes a critical phase in restructuring societal and personal paradigms, dovetailing impeccably with the Librian theme of equitable reformation. As we transition into the age of Aquarius, this aspect of Pluto facilitates a deep, transformational shift beyond superficial change.
Mars, Sirius, and Transformational EnergeticsThe podcast highlights a dynamic interaction involving Mars, Sirius, and the larger astrological picture. Mars, traditionally recognized for its assertive and initiating energies, aligns with Sirius during the eclipse. This celestial proximation signals an energetic upgrade that ingrains a renewed "I am" consciousness in our core beings. Sirius has long been regarded as a pivotal star influencing Earth's spiritual evolution. Its rare alignment with Mars during this solar eclipse signifies substantial energetic progress. We are transiting through realms of heightened awareness and collective awakening, steering humanity's course towards a resonant and elevated state.
Breaking Through: Unique ConfigurationsAmong the many astrological configurations during this eclipse, the square involving Mars, the sun, moon, and other planetary bodies, paves the way for potential breakthroughs. Additionally, unique celestial presence of Makemake—a Kuiper belt object—introduces fresh consciousness and connects us deeper with the natural world. This configuration is teeming with innovation, challenging us to embrace new perspectives.
Collective Growth: Joining the Reciprocity ChallengeIn alignment with the transformative energies of this eclipse, the podcast announces a 28-day community-based reciprocity challenge beginning October 2. This initiative fosters collective growth, solidarity, and shared support, embodying the essence of Libra in action.

The Transformative Power of the Pisces Lunar Eclipse
The universe continues to offer us opportunities for transformation and awakening as we had into the latter part of 2024. The Pisces lunar eclipse happening on September 17, 2024 provides a potent opportunity for revelations. This celestial event is has the potential to be a profound portal for inner and collective transformation. I summarize below the implications and energies of this lunar eclipse and explore how we can harness its power.

The Potency of a Pisces Lunar EclipseSuper Full Moon Amplified Energies ~ A super full moon is essentially a full moon that occurs when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and more luminous. The closer proximity heightens the moon's gravitational pull, magnifying the energetic influence on us. Coupled with the lunar eclipse, this event promises even more potent revelations and energetic shifts.

Pisces: The Sign of Transcendence and Release ~ Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, symbolizes culmination and spiritual awakening. Governed by Neptune, Pisces encourages us to look inward, fostering a deeper connection with our intuition and the unseen realms. As the sign associated with compassion, mystery, and transcendence, this lunar eclipse invites us to release old patterns and prepare for a rebirth.

The Energetic Axis of Pisces and Virgo: Balancing the Intangible with the Meticulous ~ During a full moon, the sun and moon are in opposition. For this particular eclipse, the sun is in Virgo, while the moon is in Pisces. This Virgo-Pisces axis represents the balance between the tangible and the intangible. Pisces’ dreamy, intuitive nature contrasts with Virgo’s practical, detail-oriented energy. This opposition allows us to cultivate a holistic understanding of our inner and outer worlds.

Neptune’s Influence: Dispelling Illusions ~ Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, is prominently conjunct the moon during this eclipse. Often referred to as the planet of illusion and spirituality, Neptune's influence enhances our ability to see beyond the superficial. It aligns with the lunar eclipse to illuminate truths and release us from any lingering delusions, setting the stage for profound clarity and expansion.

Inner and Outer Worlds: The Dual Focus of EclipsesThe Subtle Shifts of Lunar Eclipses ~ Unlike the external, action-oriented energy of solar eclipses, lunar eclipses prompt us to turn inward. They encourage introspection and emotional awareness, making this an ideal time to explore our inner landscapes, deepen our self-awareness, and heal emotional wounds.

Relationships and Connections: Lunar eclipses often highlight relational dynamics ~ Not only with people but also with patterns, habits, and energies in our lives. This heightened focus on relationships during the Pisces lunar eclipse encourages us to examine how we relate to ourselves and the world, fostering growth and harmony.

Virgo New Moon: Goddess Astraea

9/2/2024

Picture
As we step into September, we are invited to embrace the Virgo New Moon taking place on the 2nd of the month. This celestial event marks a potent time for seeding  transformation and new beginnings. The new moon in Virgo offers a unique energy, distinct from the vibrant and full illumination of the recent full moon. It’s a time for planting seeds, setting intentions, and focusing on the transformative opportunities that lie ahead. This particular new moon is anchored in the sign of Virgo, known for its connection to community, service, and practicality, encouraging us all to reflect on our routines, wellbeing, and how we can better serve both ourselves and the collective.

I spend time in the podcast delving into the astrology of the moment. I want to use this blog post to explore the myth and energetic of goddess Astraea. She an important aspect of the constellation Virgo as the goddess of purity and service. 

In the pantheon of Greek mythology, where gods and goddesses embody various human virtues and vices, Astraea stands out as a symbol of justice, purity, and a vision for a fairer world. Often associated with the constellation Virgo, Astraea's story is not just a tale from ancient times; it offers a powerful message that resonates with contemporary feminist values. Today, we explore Astraea's mythological significance and how her legacy can inspire modern movements for gender equality and social justice.

Astraea: The Virgin Goddess of JusticeAstraea, whose name translates to "star-maiden" or "star-goddess," was a daughter of the Titans Astraeus and Eos. She is most renowned for her role as the personification of justice and innocence. In mythology, Astraea lived among humans during the Golden Age, a time when society was free from crime and corruption. Her presence was a testament to a world where justice prevailed, and it was during this utopian era that she was revered for her unwavering commitment to fairness.

However, as humanity fell from grace, descending into the chaos of the Silver and Bronze Ages, Astraea became disillusioned. The pervasive dishonesty and injustice of these later eras drove her away from the mortal realm. According to myth, she ascended to the heavens, where she became the constellation Virgo, serving as a celestial reminder of the ideals of justice and purity that she once embodied.

Astraea’s Divine Feminine LegacyAstraea's story is more than a myth; it serves as a profound symbol for feminist movements advocating for justice and equality. Here's how Astraea's legacy can inspire and align with contemporary feminist ideals:

1. Championing Justice and FairnessAstraea’s commitment to justice is emblematic of the feminist fight for a fair society. In a world where gender inequality, systemic discrimination, and social injustices still prevail, Astraea’s ideals remind us of the ongoing struggle to create a just world. Her unwavering dedication to fairness encourages us to challenge the status quo and advocate for equal rights and opportunities for all genders.

2. Symbol of ResilienceAstraea’s departure from Earth symbolizes the frustration of those who strive for justice in a world that frequently falls short. Yet, her ascension also represents hope and resilience. For feminists, Astraea is a figure who reminds us that even when progress seems elusive, maintaining our commitment to justice is crucial. Her story inspires us to continue our efforts, even when faced with setbacks and challenges.

3. Embodiment of Virtue and IntegrityIn an era where women's voices are increasingly recognized, Astraea’s embodiment of virtue and integrity serves as a model of principled leadership. As we each embody the harmonic of divine masculine and divine feminine, Astraea offers us the energetic of what it means to BE OF SERVICE to the collective as well as to ourselves. 

4. Celestial InspirationAs the constellation Virgo, Astraea represents a cosmic ideal of justice and purity. This celestial aspect serves as a reminder that the quest for equality is a universal endeavor. The Divine Feminine, much like the stars, is a guiding force that transcends geographical and temporal boundaries. Astraea’s presence in the night sky symbolizes that the pursuit of collective cosmic justice is a timeless and universal aspiration.

Moving Forward: Embracing Astraea’s LegacyAs we navigate the complexities of modern society, Astraea’s legacy can serve as a beacon for those striving for gender equality and social justice. Her story invites us to reflect on our commitment to fairness and to envision a world where the principles she personified are realized. By embodying Astraea’s virtues—justice, resilience, and integrity—we can contribute to a more equitable society and continue to push for progress in our own time.

​In celebrating Astraea, we honor not just a mythological figure but a powerful symbol of the ongoing struggle for justice. Her story reminds us that while the journey toward equality may be long and arduous, it is a path worth pursuing, guided by the enduring light of principles that transcend time and space.

Navigating the Energetic Shifts &
Harnessing Divine Energies for Personal and Collective Transformation


The Aquarius Super Full Moon, which is exact on August 19, 2024, is a powerful event promises intense energetic shifts that beckon us towards personal empowerment, transmutation, and the harmonizing of divine masculine and feminine energies. Here’s a deep dive into the key themes discussed in this illuminating episode.

Preceding Astrological Alignments: Setting the Stage 
Before we experience the full moon’s illumination, we have two significant astrological events setting the precedent: the Mars-Jupiter conjunction and the Mars-Saturn square on August 14 and 15, respectively. These alignments stir energies of action, expansion, limitation, and structure, preparing us for the full moon’s potent themes. The Mars-Jupiter conjunction encourages bold, expansive actions inspired by higher wisdom and truth, while the challenging Mars-Saturn square urges us to balance our drive with discipline, and responsibility. This rendezvous of contrasting energies lays the groundwork for the personal and collective transformations ready to emerge. You can find a deep dive on my YouTube channel here as well as below!

The Dynamics of the Full Moon: Squaring Energies and Jupiter-Saturn Integration
The Aquarius Super Full Moon’s celestial theater involves intense squaring energy. Notably, two T-squares — geometric alignments in astrology that occur when two planets in opposition form 90-degree angles with a third planet, creating a triangle — amplify the transformative potential. The presence of Jupiter squaring Saturn in Aquarius is significant; this planetary dance is a continuation of cyclic squares that began in 2020 and will reoccur in December 2024 and June 2025. 
​
Historically seen as a fortunate alignment, Jupiter squaring Saturn embodies the principle of integrating lofty, visionary ideas into the grounded, physical reality. It symbolizes breakdowns that lead to breakthroughs, urging us to transcend limiting beliefs and structures. This aspect is a celestial invitation to clear away the old paradigms and make way for innovative, more aligned ways of being and operating in the world.

Balancing the Divine Masculine and Feminine Energies
One of the most profound aspects of this lunar event is the emphasis on rebalancing divine masculine and feminine energies, highlighted by the interplay of the two T-squares. The first features the Sun and Moon squaring Uranus, which could provoke sudden insights and revolutionary shifts in personal and collective consciousness. The second T-square involves Venus, Mars, Jupiter, as well as an opposition to Saturn, emphasizing the harmonization of action (Mars), beauty and love (Venus), expansion (Jupiter), and karma/structure (Saturn).
Collectively, these alignments spotlight the need for integrating the outer (masculine) and inner (feminine) aspects of our nature. It’s a cosmic call to realign our actions with our values, allowing a balanced flow of dynamic creative energy and receptive nurturing energy.

Guided Meditation: Harmonizing Internal Energies
To anchor these transformative energies and facilitate personal growth, I offer listeners a powerful meditation. This meditation focused on harmonizing the divine masculine and feminine within oneself. Listeners were encouraged to visualize and embody a balanced state where assertiveness meets compassion, and ambition is tempered with intuition. 
Meditation practices like these are valuable tools during potent lunar events, assisting individuals in aligning with the cosmic energies for optimal personal and collective evolution. They help participants internalize the integration processes, enabling them to act from a place of balanced power and love.

As we integrate these shifts, let’s contribute positively and creatively, in alignment with the greater evolution of consciousness.
