After two eclipses, which probably had you itching to force ahead on your springtime plans, this month's new moon will hit the brakes. This is a time to pause and ground yourself, to see the world and everything in it for what is really going on, but also to embrace the beauty of nature and life in general.
The zodiac bull is a cautious creature, slow, and strong by design. It rules the realms of work and money, security, as well as self-worth and possessions. This energy asks us to fix our focus on tangible goals and to be pragmatic about the way we go about reaching them. Through Taurus, we learn to receive what the Universe provides us, we learn to hold and cultivate abundance and we learn to generate new resources by wisely harnessing the ones we have. Ruled by Venus, we also come face to face with core values. So, take a moment to reflect whether your life choices are aligned with yours. If not, establish adjustments needed. Taurus affirmation: I receive, build, magnetize and materialize. ~ Christine K.H ~

This celestial event is sending some deep thoughts our way as it also goes down during a Mercury Retrograde, which always calls for review and reflection.
While the Scorpio energy can sometimes feel dark, obsessive or like a crisis, we’ll each be given an opportunity to explore new avenues of the psych. Many Zodiac souls may find this cosmic climate to be particularly challenging as foundations, relationships and boundaries are tested. Though each sign will experience this energy differently, major themes around letting go will come to fruition on a collective scale. The moon represents our emotional nature, habits, patterns, and instincts. When the moon is in eclipse, it’s as if the shadow parts of ourselves come to the surface. It can be a time of great intensity as we confront aspects of ourselves that we may have avoided or denied. If you just feel emotional, know that this is a transient experience. If you become emotional because somebody else said or did something to you, instead of blaming the other person, now is an excellent time to understand the mental and emotional pattern we carry within us. Drum-roll of the day? Clear out what must go, so you’ll be ready to build by the time the full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus manifests on October 28th later this year. ~ Christine K.H ~ The Aries new moon solar eclipse opens the first eclipse portal for 2023. Aries is a fire sign and the element fire, which lives in us all, gives us strength, courage, passion and determination. When burning too strong, however, fire can lead to anger, attacks, destruction and being too impulsive or ego-driven. So, balancing our own inner fire may be a theme around this eclipse.
All eclipses operate as resets. This one falls at 29 degrees in Aries, the zodiac’s final degree. The final degree of any zodiac sign is considered a highly charged and karmic point and all combined indicate a profound karmic event or destiny that is unfolding. Collectively as well as individually. If this wasn't a lot as is, we also have Pluto, God of the Underworld, in the mix. Pluto’s presence can help to bring never-imagined opportunities and awakenings that help us to completely rebirth and transform into a higher version of ourselves. Most likely, this lunar event will clear up any confusion as to if you should stay in a situation or not. There might be an urge to make impulsive moves, but this will only set you back. Instead, find your inner tranquility and let it play out as it is meant to. Mercury, the planet of communication conjuncts Uranus in Taurus on this day and turn retrograde. Yes, a big week is here let's just say. See post on how to interpret eclipses in your own life by looking at the your birth chart and houses here ~ Christine K.H ~ As we are moving into another eclipse season we will see dramatic changes, sometimes crises, and breakthroughs in the world around us and in our personal lives. Now we are heading into the Aries/Libra axis with the first one being a new moon solar eclipse on April 20th. We are also ending the Taurus/Scorpio one later this year, but how could all this influence you? What signs should you be aware of?
We predominantly look at the houses where the eclipses fall, indicating areas in life where these major changes or endings will occur. The houses come in pairs, situated opposite each other in the natal chart. Here below is a short guideline for you. Look for Aries/Libra as well as the overlapping Taurus/Scorpio axis. House 1 - House 7 Identity and self vs partner and/or close relationship. House 2 - House 8 Finances and assets, yours and/or others. In depth (psychological) insights. House 3 - House 9 Communication, teaching, learning and travels. Siblings. House 4 - House 10 Domestic life vs career and public life. Parents. House 5 - House 11 Leisure, activity and children vs alliances, groups and friends. House 6 - House 12 Health, daily routines and work vs solitude, spirituality and "enemies" (people you don't get along with) In short, the Moon in Astrology represents our needs, feeling and reactions but her placement and aspects also shows how we participate in life. The Lunar Eclipse highlights 'How do I engage?' whereas the Solar Eclipse asks 'How does this effect me?' Your birth chart is a map of your incarnation and soul's evolution.

Libra, rules partnership, diplomacy, compromise, romance and beauty. These people are known for their communication skills and ability to meditate in refined ways. This lunar event asks each of us; How well do you connect with others? Especially if there's a little tension, socially, politically and/or religiously. The moon in Libra will call for us to compromise, aim for tact and partnership, while the opposing sun in Aries might be more combative. You are creating your world, one thought at a time. That means you can manifest a new and improved life simply by changing your habitual thinking. And that is the message of this full moon! Libra Note to Self: I put things into perspective by focusing on the bigger picture. ~ Christine K.H ~ At their core, new moons are quiet periods before a phase of growth or regrowth. They clear the stage for developments in our external and internal worlds alike, opening up the astrological climate and encourage us to do the same within our own minds. However, when the sun and moon align in the fiery firstborn of the Zodiac, Aries, the energy feels clear and powerful, even in some ways harsh.
This lunar event brings forward the very essence of a situation, or whatever needs to happen next. It comes with an opportunity to make important changes in our lives that we might not otherwise have the courage to navigate through. The focus is on independence, authenticity and action, and whether it's about embracing an aspect of your identity or starting a new project, the Universe is asking you to turn the page and write your own story now. Aries Note to Self: With fire I cleanse and inspire myself to boldly forge new paths. ~ Christine K.H ~ Virgo, the earthly sign associated with work, wellness and routine, reminds us that the most profound shifts can take place when we commit to small changes in our day-to-day routines.
Virgo's highest vibration is healing and service, whereas the other side easily falls into worrying thoughts and being overly critical to herself. If that's the case, then today allow yourself a break from your mind. This lunar event may reinforce the power of committing to a healthier lifestyle with daily practices to support your mental, physical and spiritual wellness. We are surrounded with a cleansing energy, helping us with self-reflection and inner work instead of getting lost in other peoples' needs. The Virgo Note to Self: Life doesn’t need to be perfect, and most importantly, I don’t need to make the perfect decision every time. ~ Christine K.H ~ In astrology, the moon controls our emotions and intuition, it governs over all things relating to our deepest selves. On this Monday, February 20, we'll experience a new moon in Pisces, meaning that the emotional luminary will be in an even more sentimental astrological spot.
When the moon occupies Pisces, we are directed to spiritual awareness and imaginative explorations. This incredibly creative water sign needs fantasy the way we need oxygen, so embrace that need for fantasy and creativity. It is common around these lunar events to feel a little blue as it tends to be a more introverted time. The upside is, it’s a fantastic time for setting new intentions and getting clear on what you are consciously cultivating in your life. With the embrace of the Pisces energy it directs us to new insights, or even breakthroughs, in soul awareness. This is when we seek to delete outer disturbances in exchange for spiritual elevations and revelations. Ask yourself: What could my soul's intention be for coming into human form this time around? The new moon comes as a signal to leave the past in the past and to see the future as full of possibility. It is your chance to speak a new intention into the universe and to watch it grow, so voice that wish. ~ Christine K.H ~ The full moon in Leo spotlights love, pleasure, and self-expression. Full moons, which happen when the confident sun exactly opposes the intuitive moon, always present a monthly opportunity to wrap up projects you started six months or even two weeks prior. They're culmination points, breaking points, and a chance to release anything that's no longer serving you.
With this month's full moon falling in confident, fun-loving and big-hearted Leo, you can expect to feel more empowered and optimistic. Ruled by the sun and the element of fire, Leos are often characterized as the star in a crowd. This is the lead actor of the Zodiac, harnessing the kind of leadership skills, bravery, and magnetic personalities that grant them the front spotlight on any stage. When the full moon beams brightly through this already luminous sign, everyone, not just Leos, will realize the importance of finding their voice (for Leos that means roar) and the stage to shine. So, ask yourself: Am I the leading actor in my life? Do I really allow myself to shine? The full moon in Leo wants you to claim and celebrate what’s yours. Attitudes will be warmer, but undeniably dramatic. Egos will be hungrier but we’ll feel an increased sense of generosity nonetheless. Enjoy the Leo magic and find your glow! ~ Christine K.H ~ Theme: Make new friends and nurture the old!
It's time to find your tribe! Aquarius rules the zodiac’s eleventh house of group activity. At this new moon, we’re encouraged to find like-minded people who can take our ideas, beliefs and dreams to the next level. The Aquarius new moon represents freedom and liberation, directing us to organizations and alliances, as well as social acquaintances and how we relate to other people. No person is an island, and the Aquarius new moon reminds us of our need to share our energy with others in healthy ways. So, where in your life could you collaborate or just have more fun in the company of others? Push yourself past your comfort zone and attend that mixer, workshop or event you have been drawn to for a while. The energy now favors it. The drum-roll of the day is change combined with a sense of clarity and healthy objectivity. Meaning, if you try to change your life when your internal environment has not yet shifted, it can be a fruitless exercise possibly leading you back to the same place you started out from. The key is to use the energy of this new moon to make internal shifts first, before you can really go ahead and manifest any external ones. ~ Christine K.H ~ |
