The Solar Eclipse in Virgo – A Black Moon

The solar eclipse today is the final eclipse of 2025, opening up opportunities for fresh starts, as the universe unfolds and expands before us whilst bringing in new themes relating to the autumnal equinox. The autumn equinox is the peak part of the astrological solar cycle, that begins with the astrological New Year at the spring equinox, so it will be no surprise to see our lives changing and shifting around this time with lots of emotional activities and things falling in line with the expression of our core identity, as signified by the Sun.



The chart of the solar eclipse is in Virgo, with Venus and South Node in the same sign, firstly promises that there are going to be some huge transformations over the next few weeks that will be personal for us all and of course, many that will spill over into society as proof of collective shifts. Positive changes are set to happen within our relationships effortlessly and with ease, as facilitated by the applying grand trine to Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini. We will be able to call upon our strength, mental resilience and ability to transform at a deep level in order to adapt to the changes taking place, the build-up to the majority and culmination of these coming forth at the time of the Full Moon in Aries on the 7th October.

With the kite configuration between the New Moon, Pluto, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune, reflections are being made on morality and boundaries, yet many difficulties are now in the past as lessons are being learned and instead, we move towards a place of deep understanding yet with passions for moving ahead and treading new ground.

Distance in romance is a thing of the past this coming lunar cycle with Venus separating from her square with Uranus and a focussed control on fairness in heated debates may take it’s place. Be sure to have a look at where the planets and configurations are landing and in which houses of your natal chart to see which life areas are being activated for you over the coming few weeks.

Much love and warm blessings, Gem.

A Mystic Full Moon in Cancer on Monday 13th January

Full and New Moon forecast articles, Recent articles, , , , , , , , ,

The Full Moon in Cancer on Monday the 13th January will carry a very potent mix of energies, with many themes both incoming and leaving, creating a portal not very much unlike an eclipse portal. This is because the nodal axis will be activated by the Sun, Moon, Mars, Uranus Neptune and Pluto, promising many changes for us all with opportunities for deep, emotional transformations relating to the past (Pluto in trine to the SN) that will also serve us well over the coming 18 months as the nodes travel through the Pisces/ Virgo axis.

Fresh opportunities presenting new and updated ways to live our lives now and in the future will also be presented, that are more suited to our positive emotional growth and spiritual advancement, promised with Uranus in sextile to the Moon, which trines the NN. A lot will be captured with some relative ease of flow, at the very least compared with December’s lunar cycle, which was incredibly tough and fraught with friction. This time, there could very well be a great amount of compassion with perhaps even some long-awaited forgiveness. With Neptune on the North Node trining the Moon, there could also be some global events relating to some much-needed forgiveness and a final sake of ‘live and let live’ in many cases, so to speak.


Whilst Venus applying to Saturn promises extra responsibilities with added stability where love and finances are concerned, their square to Jupiter also promises continued growth, luck and expansion that will rely on the aforementioned changes taking place during the weeks before and after the coming Full Moon.


There’s a mystic rectangle also appearing amongst the planets this coming Monday between Mars, Neptune, Pluto and the nodal axis, indicating balance, harmony and the larger themes in life being dealt with through a much greater sense of consciousness. However, with Mars still retrograde in Cancer, the current direction may still be focussed on rehashing and re-evaluating emotional or familial/ sentimental circumstances from the past.

Wishing you all the very best and good times for the Full Moon period.

Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes .. The New Moon in Capricorn today, 11th January 2024

Full and New Moon forecast articles, Recent articles, , , , ,

The New Moon at 20° Capricorn this Thursday opens up the doors for us to many changes and shifts, but only if we are ready. Starting with an applying conjunction to Pluto (albeit a wide conjunction), the Moon will then pass Scorpio’s ruling planet in the early hours of Friday the 12th to begin a new Moon-Pluto cycle, opposing on the 25th of January, the same day as the Full Moon in Cancer. So, this lunar cycle is very much synchronizing with two of our water sign rulers cyclically and the two represent both change and deep emotions. The question is, are you ready to embrace the changes? 

The New Moon also trines Uranus, another indicator of change, but with Uranus, the change can often be sudden and unexpected. We may not necessarily see the jarring change that can be indicated by the Uranus hard aspects, but with the trine we see today from the New Moon we might expect some real progressions in our relationships and perhaps even some exciting developments. 

With this mixture of the potential uprooting of complex, deep emotions and new developments, there’s also a promised, added dose of a desire for expansion and exploration this lunar cycle with Mars trine Jupiter and we can expect to see these energies increasing in light or ‘cooking in the pot on the stove’ over the next two weeks, until the time of Full Moon in Leo on Thursday the 25th of January.

The Mars trine Jupiter aspect occurs in earth signs Capricorn and Taurus today, so a real desire for something extra, both material and practical could take hold. With Capricorn’s ruler Saturn in a sextile to both Mars and Jupiter, it might be a good idea to follow your impulses, ambitions, and desires as something well worth your while could come from it that could last you a lifetime. 

Finally, with Chiron squaring the New Moon, albeit with a wide orb of more than 5°, there are chances of deep wounds coming to the surface, of course, to request healing if the opportunity is taken, and no doubt Pluto will be more than happy to assist with this process. This is most likely to happen between the 17th and the 21st of January, as the Moon passes Chiron before the first quarter Moon in Aries on the 18th (a stress point of the cycle), then Jupiter and Uranus and as the Sun moves into his exact conjunction with Pluto on the 20th and the 21st.

Of course then on the 21st Pluto will move into Aquarius, just in time to bring in some real fresh themes in time for the Full Moon on the 25th. There should be some real thematic shifts between the 21st and the 27th with this and the Sun moving into Aquarius, Venus moving into Capricorn, Black Moon Lilith moving into Virgo and then Uranus turning direct to officially mark the end of the retrograde season. What a bang, let’s hope it’s a good one.

I hope you all have a great lunar month!
