Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 5.15.22

The Full Moon Lunar eclipse falls on Sunday night, May 15, so get your spring planting in before that. Best to plant as the moon waxes towards full as this is when the energy is building, building, building. Working with the ebb and flow of the lunar cycle aligns you with the energetic flow of the moon’s powerful effect. Seeds and seedlings planted before the moon turns Full align with the release energy of the full moon. Seeds break out of their protective coats. Seedlings leave the confinement of their pots, expanding their roots to anchor them for summer’s growth. Align with the plant cycles. Release yourself from what confines you, what limits your potential growth. Release stagnant relationship patterns and constricting thought forms. Let go of anything that is not yours so that you can expand into your essential you-ness.

The Full Moon lunar eclipse is a re-boot in all areas related to the Scorpio moon. Scorpio is the fixed water sign that delves deeply into your emotions, especially the ones that seem to manage you more than you manage them – passionate emotions of possession, jealousy, betrayal, and intense obsessive love. Scorpio is the great transformer, ruled by Pluto, revealing where your deepest emotional triggers and resistances can be found. Where the eclipse falls in your own birth chart and what is triggered by the eclipse will show you exactly what is primed to be released and what is ready to be born anew. Tapping into the cycles of the eclipses is such a powerful tool for navigating the ride of your life with more ease and grace. and who doesn’t need more of that?
Mercury fully retrograde moving this week back through the early degrees of Gemini. Patience and a good sense of the absurd are a MUST to navigate the mischief of this Mercury retrograde.
Jupiter just entered Aries, sputtering into gear after so much dreamtime in Pisces. Again patience is not only a virtue but a MUST-have! A hefty sense of humor is also extremely useful. Stay in the big picture. Tend to details as necessary.
Venus conjoins Chiron in Aries. Energy available for deep healing though active loving. Not just thinking about how you give and receive love but actually taking steps to BE LOVE. Learn about the NEW ENERGIES of LOVE and how to work with them

Mercury retrograde May 10 – June 3
Mercury stations retrograde on May 10 at 4 degrees Gemini
Mercury will move retrograde back to 26 degrees Taurus, stationing direct on June 3
Mercury re-enters Gemini on June 14
JUPITER enters Aries – May 11
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse – May 15
No question that it feels like we are in some sort of vortex of endless Mercury retrograde. I know I feel that way for sure. Appointments mixed and confused. Needing to re-do and triple check things endlessly. Feeling discombobulated and topsy turvy, not knowing which end is up or if there even is an up. To be expected in these times of great transition and to think you chose to incarnate for this madness…you did!
During Mercury retrograde, a 3-week cycle that occurs 3 to 4 times each year, it’s best to slow down and reconsider all communications, correspondences, and all thoughts! As always in the dance of the cosmos many things are going on at the same time. Jupiter enters Aries on May 11, amping up the whole shebangie bang and yet as Mercury retrogrades back into Taurus (May 24 – June 13) you will want to slow things down. I know, maddening, right? Speeding up as Jupiter enters the Mars-ruled fiery sign of Aries and cool it all down as Mercury moves through Taurus(again), which is all to say:
find your own speed and stick with it.
Take care of business that needs to be taken care of so that when Mercury goes direct on June 3
(Mercury fully re-enters Gemini on June 14 even though it will have been moving direct for 10 days at that time) you will be ready to move forward with more certainty and more clarity as to what is really important to you. Mercury in Taurus directs you to re-evaluate your values and then when Mercury re-enters Gemini you’ll be overflowing with new ideas that align more clearly with your values and you will be able to take action on them, with Aries Jupiter’s speedy help.
And what about the eclipses? We had the New Moon Solar Eclipse on April 30th followed by the
Full Moon total Lunar eclipse coming up on May 15. Eclipses are trigger points for growth and change.
A Full Moon Lunar eclipse re-boots, re-sets, your emotional realm. Any feelings and emotional triggers impacted in your chart by the eclipse will unfold in early Autumn. An eclipse trigger will show you where your next growth assignment is focused. Knowing what the eclipse triggers in your chart is like putting your glasses on instead of blind texting.Wowza! When you can see things clearly, feeling into them with more clarity, your ride becomes easier and more fun to navigate.
Take plenty of naps and get some good sleep.
Times of transition can exhaust even the heartiest soul.
Be kind and loving to yourself every day in every way.

New Moon Solar Eclipse 4,30,22

Spring is arriving in my neck of the woods, tentatively, in spurts and splutters, shyly, it seems and with caution. We already had a surprise freeze that took out all the daffodils and hyacinths before they had a chance to fragrance the air and yet the flowering fruit trees are sending out a resounding flourish of deep joy. As it always is, Nature has her own methods, her own resiliency. The daffodils and hyacinths will return next year, the complex interconnected cycle of all things continues to roll and we with it.

One of the most fascinating cycles to follow in your chart is the effect of eclipses. Eclipses are re-boots, re-sets, in the areas of your chart hit by the eclipses, amplified by planets that might be activated by the eclipses. The orb of influence for an eclipse is just 3 degrees so when and where an eclipse hits your chart there is no mistaking it. Eclipses will show you what mini-chapter of your life will be your next focus. Eclipses usually come in pairs and occasionally, just to shake things up, there are 3 in a row. This year, 2022, there are 2 sets of eclipses. each set both a New Moon Solar eclipse and a Full Moon Lunar eclipse. Sometimes an eclipse is total and will have somewhat more impact than a partial but all eclipses are informative.
The first eclipse of the first pair of eclipses this year falls on April 30. The Sun and the Moon will both be at 10 degrees Taurus and there will be a partial Solar eclipse, meaning the Moon will cast a partial shadow on the Sun as it moves between the Earth and the Sun. In the U.S. we will not see the eclipse as it falls in the wee-est hours of the morning, but the effects will be felt all the same. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will occur on May 15 and it will be a total lunar eclipse, meaning the moon will be completely shadowed by the Earth moving in between the Sun and the Moon.

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus

The New Moon in Taurus, fecund with new life bursting forth, invites you into the Venus-ruled world of beauty and sensuality. I was falling into the trance of this pansy and I realized that everything important to know can be found in the face of a pansy. The delicate beauty and fierce tenacity of life unfolding in a mystery we will never understand but continually marvel at. Velvety soft yet able to bloom right through a layer of frosty snow, pansies bloom whenever sun shines upon its face. The New Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus opens the door to the mysteries as you entertain new ways of relating to the Earth and all her sentient beings, in ways that liberate and free all to live as they naturally were meant to live, to encourage thriving, not just surviving. Just do your little part. Tend one plant. Feed one animal. Each loving in one’s unique way.

Working with Venus’s placement by sign and house in your birth chart will support you in cultivating love for yourself which you can then direct outward, adding your love to the flow of all things. Learn how to work with your Venus and what sign Venus is transiting (she is divinely ecstatic in Pisces right now). Check out my ebook FEED YOUR VENUS.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse at 10 degrees Taurus pushes you to re-boot your relationship with the Earth. How exciting to re-affirm your love connection with all LIFE, to honor the sentient being that holds us all in her tender, fragile and immensely powerful embrace.

Jupiter in Pisces – DREAM BIG

The energies of this New Moon Solar eclipse are highlighted by a strong Neptunian influence as

Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) all transit Pisces. Pisces, being a Neptunian vibration, is the higher octave of Venus, personal love expanded by Divine love, the love of LIFE itself. Choose some dreamtime for yourself every day this Spring. Feed your dreams with visions and feelings of the world you wish to inhabit. The more you relax, meditate, and sleep (naps highly suggested) during this time period, the more powerful become your visions. Pisces can either suck you into the tragedies and suffering of the world or enlighten you to the wonder of being alive. You get to choose. Choose life.
The alternative is…
Jupiter will be entering the cardinal FIRE sign Aries on May 11, just before the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 15th. Full speed ahead when Jupiter enters Aries so enjoy these dreamy times before then.
