We're in the heart of Taurus season! Yet planets are also gathering in fire signs, adding a sense of energy to this earthy month, until the Sun enters Gemini. You can either watch my video interview with Luigi or read the highlights in written form.
Sometimes when I'm trying to write about the current astrology, it suddenly hits me that I'm basically living the dynamics at play. Writing about this Full Moon was one of those times -- annoyingly -- marked by the irritation and continual adjustment described by the chart's overarching aspect pattern.
We're building toward a Full Moon on Saturday across the signs Aries and Libra, emphasizing relationship dynamics and the balance (or lack thereof) between "me as an individual" and "us together." At the same time, Venus (ruler of Libra) will station direct in late Pisces.
Tonight's lunar eclipse opens the portal to "The Eclipse Zone": the two weeks between a pair of eclipses, which can feel like a time warp: strangely compressed, with life somehow distinctly different on the other side. These horoscopes should help you get oriented.
I'm not a football fan. But the proximity of the recent Super Bowl to this morning's Leo Full Moon brought to mind a perfect image to describe how this Moon is operating in our current social-political moment -- and in your personal interactions.
Maybe, for you, today's "surprise" will be the Full Moon passing by with only some creative rearrangement of expectations and routines. But I also see the potential to feel like you've just been zapped -- and needing to adjust your approach.
The Aries Full Moon is tomorrow morning, exact at 7:26 am EDT. Is anything in focus for you that feels related to what popped up in early April, between Mercury's station retrograde and the solar eclipse on April 8? This Full Moon appears to be stimulating the same themes.
Neptune features prominently in this Full Moon chart, barely three degrees away from the Moon. It’s a significant factor in how you may experience this eclipse, and in these horoscopes to help you enter this eclipse season.
Today's Aquarius Full Moon looks a bit turbo charged! The biggest question it seems to be asking is: At the heart of everything (in your heart), what are you truly devoted to? And what uncharacteristic, unplanned, or non-routine actions do you need to take to remember what that devotion feels like ?
Happy solstice, everyone! I've written the horoscopes below for the combination Cancer solstice and Capricorn Full Moon charts: a seasonal, solar turning point and a lunar peak.
