Sagittarius Solar Eclipse
12.3.21 (11:43pm PST) 12.4.21 (7:43 UTC)

Cosmic skies are stirring and so the tone is set for an epic Total Solar Eclipse. Moons shadow will pass over Antarctica and partial phases can be seen at the southernmost tips of South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Traditionalist Saturn builds tension to iconoclast Uranus, the final friction point exact on December 24. This eclipse touches both planets, making for uncomfortable changes that take us by surprise! Sudden shifts of the status quo may pose a challenge, but with it comes a chance to redesign our reality in ways that require some leveling up. An eclipse is a portal to the deep unconscious as well as a wormhole through space-time. An opportunity to make significant changes at the crossroads of past and future within the surrounding weeks. This new cycle highlights lessons learned over the last 1 1/2 years and is an opportunity to point ourselves in a new and improved direction. Actions and intentions will make significant impressions that send out energetic wavelets, forming our future.

Prioritizing truth brings rewards as we are being called to give and receive counsel in ways that expand personal consciousness alongside collective. Where can we hold a position of leadership while prioritizing compassion and the common good? Who can we learn from in order to grow and expand ourselves?

Social, financial and relational issues are getting heavy with love planet Venus moving in to meet with primal tycoon Pluto. Be cautious of power dynamics alongside provocation and reactivity when engaging these matters. Global issues involving patriarchy, violence against femme people and the repressed feminine principle within us all are up. Spending time listening to a suffering planet, consciously connecting to strong emotions and engaging in wildly creative expression aligns us in an allied movement toward healing. In fact we may lure the most powerful and potent feminine capacities, if we can endure her slow pace and subtle mystery. Adventures can be found at every turn, but patience, persistence and wisdom is what leads to the mountain top.

Ta**us Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse
11.19.21 (08:57 UTC/ 12:57 PST)

The last Lunar Eclipse of this calendar year emerges with sensational intensity and will be the longest partial within a surrounding millennium. Lasting over three hours in length, we can expect some exhilarating illuminations! It is a partial eclipse, yet the moon is 97% covered by Earths’ shadow. This gives the deep rusted appearance of a total eclipse, plus a shimmering sliver of moonlight.

The eclipse can be best viewed in North America, yet thematic events will rattle all of our bones and could amp up the electromagnetic nervous system. With all this tension releasing, it is best to remain cautious, keep it simple and take things as slowly as we can. If we hold our position, we can make some room to actualize a foundation for something solid and tangible. Tuning into this Full Moon in the earth sign of Ta**us can assist in grounding erratic energies and harnessing the action potential within ourselves. Leaning on our specialties and what we know best will maximize flows that could otherwise feel overwhelming!

Issues that were seeded at the beginning of this cycle (2 weeks ago), continue to reverberate from our core and ripple out into the fabric of space. Step by step, we move into the future and can expect some stunning clarification on what we’ve been creating. As some heavy-duty realization settles in, our values, finances and material life can be put into better perspective. This could shed some light on relationships, financial matters and any contracts at hand.

The potential for change is high, with cosmic conductor Uranus powering magnetic muse Venus from across the galactic skies. While we may not be feeling up to the all-embracing challenges thrown our way, there are definitely some potential rewards in going with a flow that may be far out of our comfort zone. Doing what is best for our communities can be difficult if interests are divided. We can work a bit of magic by stepping into a suitable position of leadership and confidently offering our generosity of spirit. While it might seem that we’ve taken the long road, our commitment brings payoff with long lasting and substantial durability.

The Harvest Moon is here✨

🌙Fortnight Horoscope✨
Pisces Full Moon
9.20.21 (23:54 UTC/ 4:54pm PDT)

The Harvest Moon is our last lunation before the Autumnal Equinox on September 22nd. Not only does it bring in a new season, there is a heightened effect as the entranced Moon in Pisces floats past nebulous Neptune just before peaking to fullness. This pair brings psychic vision that spans dimensions, so take plenty of space to let your minds eye show what needs to be seen at this time.

However, beware of fantasies taking over the narrative as overblown Jupiter flows to storyteller Mercury. Resonant themes from the past could seem in full color, even if they’ve long since faded. Our minds may also be troubled by Plutos’ eruptive force which brings concealed material up from the crypt of our psyche and soul. If intensity runs high, confusion could get the best of us and lead to some frenzied behavior. Consistently touching into our spiritual home will allow us to maintain a loving and gracious state of being, even if we feel pushed to our limits.

It’s a dynamic crescendo with the independent Sun in Virgo just a few degrees away from Mars the warrior. There is a passion for truth, virtue and ethics, plus a boost of energy needed to put in the work it takes to achieve these ideals. We can expect emotions to run high for the days surrounding this full moon. Some compassionate consideration for ourself and others will get us through any initial turmoil. A safe space to feel and heal can lead to mystical awakenings that ignite new levels of consciousness and connection.

An enchanting Virgo New Moon arrives tomorrow!

🌙Fortnight Horoscope✨
Virgo New Moon
9.6.21(5:51pm/PDT) 9.7.21(00:51/UTC)

Approaching the last season of a year colored heavily by stress between the stern authority of gatekeeper Saturn and the jolting, forward motion of Uranus the reformer, we have a moment for some self-care upon us. With these hulking spheres in charmed angles to the New Moon, there is some much needed synthesis between established structures and the shocking progressive push to move beyond them. Beginning a cycle in Virgo brings extraordinary levels of attention to commitments and responsibilities that always begin with the self. It's an acknowledgement that healed people heal people thus our most healthful state is the most health-giving. After all, one can only give to others the level of patience, care and respect that they have first shown for themselves. Under this exceptional sign, there is no rest until work is done holistically and with comprehensive regard. These vestal energies leave little room for anything less than an untainted, natural expression of life force. Unblemished and pure. These exquisite perfections have little to do with superficial expectations, yet everything to do with truth as is proven on this earthly, material realm. Are you living up to your own standards? Now is a time to re-commit to your independent spirit and cultivation of the original gifts that you bear. It will take tremendous commitment and there is no room for compromising this delicate mixture that is all your own. The world is counting on you! With the luminaries (Sun/Moon) in awkward position of curative Chiron, some discomfort in this self evaluation can be expected. Virgoan ruler Mercury also opposes the cosmic centaur, adding some stress if we think or communicate in ways that seem socially unacceptable. If we’re in a hurry to prove ourselves we could just aggravate the situation, better to remain courteous and unassuming for now. Venus sings virtuously late in her home sign but the raw, brutal force of dark-dwelling Pluto provokes something heavy. Keeping our focus on our highest priorities will bring results if we can stand firm for our cause and sustain some composure. Even with disturbances we’d rather not see out in the open, we’ll be supported with ease from generous Jupiter who favors positivity and gives swift rewards if we can maintain our graces. It’s an opportune time to take pleasure in the process of building skills towards a greater purpose. Everything happens gradually then suddenly! Time to seek joy in each step on the way and revel when our efforts yield bountiful returns.

Aquarius Full Moon
8.22.21 (12:01 UTC/5:01 PDT)

Large scale progress leads to major transitions on yet another Full Moon in the revolutionary sign of Aquarius. Traditionally speaking, this lunation falls under the original definition of a Blue Moon, which referred to the third of four full moons in a single season. Typically there are only three total using our common calendar, so it makes the statement of this radical phase that much more unique! With Luna just minutes from jumbo-sized Jupiter, the two join forces making the height of this cycle one that nobody will miss. Whether out on the street or deep in our hearts, emotions come alive and broadening our worldview can offer some much needed therapy. Aquarius brings our attention to a collective level and with its sign ambassador Saturn also in the mix, we are about to find out just how connected we all really are. Saturn is typically known for its’ harsh authority within the societal structure. However, in this sign of the water-bearer, the taskmaster uses this conservative prudence to invent new ways that sneak just beyond the boundaries created in Capricorn. Others may see crossing these lines as nutty or peculiar, but without breaking the rules we could not have much forward movement. Currently, those that can withstand the discomfort of being different plus exhibit the dedication required to truly innovate will prevail; because it is time for a quantum leap! The separating conjunction between mover Mars and a sharp thinking Mercury in Virgo make for some constructive precision. In an effortless angle to iconoclast Uranus, our worldview could get shaken to the core! There is no denying the gargantuan scale of what hits emotionally, physically, spiritually and collectively. It is a turning point that there is no going back from and we all have our place in this new cosmic order. Just hours later, our Sun also moves into service oriented Virgo, supporting us all to look out for one another. The days following this momentous lunar event will be for dreaming up our inclusive vision. As the moon speeds along for a series of dueling alignments, we are challenged to put our money where our mouth is and bring what we envision to life. The future is now and when we show up ready to work, we are shaping things to come.

Leo New Moon, time for new beginnings!

🌙Fortnight Horoscope✨
Leo New Moon
8.8.21 (13:50 UTC/6:50am PDT)

Striking upheaval hits close to home as a magnanimous New Moon in Leo squares electric upsetter Uranus. This clash hits only hours before our speedy Moon joins the Sun, golden and shining bright in its’ domicile. Unexpected changes may strike a nerve, stirring the senses and potentially setting up some emotional drama! Interactive Mercury brings out the spokesman in Leo, so we best swallow our pride and consider what we say before we say it. The planet of the mind is within just a few degrees, so we can aim to begin this cycle with a fresh mindset and the intention for more genuine approaches to communicating authentically. But we’ll need to prepare for some provocation, which requires that we open up, be vulnerable and detach from our ego. As value-centered Venus in Virgo opposes a nebulous Neptune in Pisces, persnickety irritation over these confusing dynamics could get in the way of our charm. Any eye-opening discomfort brought on by what materializes, will require a cliff dive into the unconscious realms and shadowy places, lest our dread keep us clinging to the edge. It’s time to be brave and take the plunge! This is where we hide some of our brightest prospects out of fear. We imagine these treasures too different, quirky or unconventional to be worthy of recognition. The only way out of this twisted psychology is through acceptance of all that we are, even when it conflicts with our self-important image. It seems that our comfort may have us immobilized and unable to share our glow with the world; it’s time to turn over a new leaf!

Aquarius Full Moon✨

🌙Fortnight Horoscope✨
Aquarius Full Moon
7.24.21 (2:36 UTC) 7.23.21 (7:36pm PDT)

A Full Moon in the Air sign of Aquarius comes as a heavy hit with the traditional and modern rulers of the sign still at odds. Themes brought to us by this Saturn Uranus square dominate the year and are stirred up once again with Luna at peak cycle in their home sign. Established conventions won’t get us where we’re aiming any longer and stagnating in any one place can have us stuck in the mud. Yet with so much change on the horizon, we best accept this transitional phase as one accompanied by awkward moments and some temporary discomfort. With Mercury nostalgic in Cancer making a smooth angle to dreamy Neptune, it’s easy to get lost in a daydream and stay disconnected from the difficulties of this shift. However there is no going back to better days and no option to re-live any of our past, time is ticking and we can take the lead or get left in the dust! Instead, using our imagination intentionally will actively help us put feelings to form and in the process we can move on from any unresolved issues. This time offers not only a chance to heal what hurts, but to make something beautiful in the process. Not far from the moon is heavy-handed Pluto, and with this planetary combination comes enough intensity to bring out the dark side in us all! But squabbles between ourselves and alleged dominators isn’t the way to success. Being challenged might feel like a power game, but the leverage held by authorities could be a figment of fantasy. Venus can get picky in the first degrees of Virgo so only attend to details of your own ability to serve from the heart. From this place of love, unapologetic individualism combined with some practical tact are keys to bringing your charm. Swinging things in our favor allows us to work some secret signature magic! Our independence lies on the other side of any cooperative challenges and these roadblocks are cornerstones of preparatory life lessons. The future will be here before we know it and currently this time-space warp is set up to serve some revolutionary reconstruction! Allowing these new ways to eventually come easy requires that we abandon our attachment to anything holding us back.

Cancer New Moon
7.9.21(6:16pm PDT) 7.10.21(1:16 UTC)

Deeply unconscious identity patterns meet us face to face as we begin a new cycle in the security conscious sign of Cancer. With this protective New Moon widely opposing dark realm dweller Pluto, we could find ourselves in a subtle battle with tyrannical forces. This charged energy comes through customs of our own that have been unconsciously enforced, so we may not be aware of their authority. The water sign of the crab reminds us that how we get what we want is a habitual routine that began before we even had language. As children, our environment determined what was necessary for survival. Our adaptive nature drove us to develop ways of getting our needs met that were reflective responses to the availability of those same fundamental needs. As adults we carry the imprint of our origins, bringing this habitual practice to every situation and interaction. A conjunction of ego-driven Mars and attractor Venus gives us an opportunity to bring symbiosis to the process of fulfilling our inclinations. In the fixed sign of Leo, the confidence of our own worth is imperative if we are to take bold action in order to satisfy all of our proclivities. If we can set emotions aside and keep fantasies in perspective our visions can flow, allowing prolific creativity to follow! This time marks a fresh start in which we can reach far out of our comfort zones to attain the truest desires in our hearts. With awakener Uranus ninety degrees to lazy Venus and inflexible Saturn, change may not come easy. But taking courageous steps towards creating new approaches for achieving and receiving will bring rewarding advancements to our aspirations.

Full moon on the rise tonight ✨

🌙Fortnight Horoscope✨
Capricorn Full Moon
6.24.21 (18:39 UTC/11:39am PDT)

The peak goals of our journey may seem in clearer sight, as we take a step onto more solid ground this Full Moon in climbing Capricorn. With infinitely expanding Jupiter in Pisces flowing to the luminaries (Sun & Moon), we get a glimpse of a more hopeful road ahead. However, it will be wise to avoid ambivalence as we navigate some wildly nonlinear terrain! At the ‘Point of Thales’, the jolly gas giant brings bountiful gifts if we traverse the elevated realms of a higher mind in the coming weeks. But be ready for some multidimensional mist to obscure the way! The surest approach to anything incalculable is to do our best in establishing clear communication with authorities, mavens and teachers who can guide us on our way. A sustaining square creates friction between stern Saturn holding the status quo and progressive Uranus who simultaneously brings change upon it. These shifts ripple through the consciousness of generations yet manifest in our personal lives as we journey about the infinite realms. These profound shifts in our lives arise from the soul and are voiced through gestural expression and modes of habitual operation. These deeply personal patterns of movement might have us overprotective or stuck looping the past. But with mental Mercury recently direct, communication comes clear as long as we remain open to synchronicities that take us beyond the scope of voicing mere words. Gesture, motion and the subtlety of innuendo can inform the agency of intuitive response with Mars mobilized by some mysterious yet sacred geometry. There is a chance to redefine the power dynamics in relationship as we gain some headway along our paths. We might just reach that mountaintop afterall, as long as we allow for the free form or zig zag momentum! It’s time to accept new ways of understanding structure, however deeply ingrained our ways.

🌙Fortnight Horoscope✨
Scorpio Full Moon 4.27.21 (3:30 UTC)

Curative connection can appear in the darkest of places. In the deep, the shadows and corners untended. Repressed legacies of violence and suffering arise through blighted spaces within ourselves, our relationships, communities, cultures, globes and galaxies. The call of those scorned and damned, demanding we join in the gloom until the egregious source of their pain is slayed into extinction. Elementally, it is only following such destruction that our ancestral response moves us to initiate creation. And life can begin again. This potent Full Moon in Scorpio serves up some of the most disturbing realities and also the richest magic available to those tolerant of its intense and merciless infernos. With ruler Mars harmonious in the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer, we can open to understand how our whole beings have been shaped through living within legacies and traditions of our current lineage. Through our bodies, blood, DNA, our minds, beliefs and mythology. There are aspects of our experience determined by the trajectory of our family line. Such lessons should not be expected as comfortable and most likely will not come through the common tongue or on linear time. After all, certain aspects of holistic becoming can only be harnessed nocturnally. To embark, you must surrender. This may not be easy with the Luminaries(Sun/Moon) in Fixed Mode signs, everyone is stern in their ways. The status quo is social minded with Saturn in Aquarius, yet we will wrestle with new ideas for progress. But sacrificing our egos is the key to a mystical labyrinth of night code and there are rare gems to be discovered on this probing culmination! If this multiplistic serendipity brings dissonance, endure the temporary discomfort and be in for a treat of fractal proportions! Do beware that at this time epiphanies strike with venomous surprise. Prepare to be enchanted by demons in a twisted time warp of mangled beauty. What is simultaneously gorgeous and grotesque may lead to ecstatic leaps into new realms; where aspects of self that may have previously seemed alien, can now be recognized as divine true nature.

🌙Fortnight Horoscope✨
Aries New Moon 4.12.21 (2:30 UTC)

Enthusiasm is high in the weeks ahead as we’re pushed into places that challenge us to be bigger, brighter, more dynamic versions of ourselves. The hyped-up Moon in Aries aligns with a valiant Sun, creating opportunity for a fresh start that has us feeling confident and in tune. Strong in instinct and intuition, both planets are fast-acting in fire but also quick to throw elbows! Asserting emotional or impassioned independence could cause a clash of horns if we are too attached to owning the hour. With Venus only two degrees ahead, we can soften our edges with a smile, make a motion to cooperate or act in alliance to bring harmony. Yet while the planet of love might keep things agreeable, provocative Pluto is in hard angle adding some lurking heat. Don’t be surprised if you kick up dust from the emotional depths in relationships or social interactions. It’s important to remember that if sparks are flying, most of them are pure passion and not challenges to our personal space or autonomy. We can use emotional triggers as a guide to understanding our own relationship patterns as well as any associated cultural conditioning. As long as we keep our ingrained beliefs separate from the ever-changing moment, we can create something new with our presence. Sharing mutual excitement could bring favorable rewards that go both ways, if we keep our eyes on the prize and our heads cool! After all, an invigorating trine between fast acting Mars and noble Jupiter has us feeling supercharged! With five planets in Aries it might seem like nothing can stop us and it’s true, for better and for worse! Since showing up is half the battle, currently we wield instant results by directing focus to a course of action. Just be sure you’ve thoroughly considered what you’re aiming for!

🌙Fortnight Horoscope✨
Libra Full Moon 3.28.21

Asserting our independence may be just as important as synchronizing our relationships while the Sun is fresh and vibrant in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. The Moon is directly across from the Sun who has begun this new zodiacal year and spring is here! Green leaves, warm air and birdsongs at dawn on this loving Libra Full Moon. It is a powerful time to allow the dynamics within partnership to be a reflection of ourselves and our consciousness at this seasonal stanchion point. Close relationships are a two way street that give deeper understanding of who we are and what resonates with us. We would be wise to use strategy for getting our way while expressing genuine appreciation and any forgiveness necessary to ensure we have much needed support on our side. Claiming aspects of ourselves buried beneath our vulnerabilities will bring us closer to a genuine expression of who we really are. This naturally attracts high vibrating energies that cultivate love and enrich values we hold close to our heart. We can emotionally connect to issues of social justice, societal structure and our core desire to explore the ways in which we make connections. Mars in Gemini may make actions seem frenzied! But close to an eclipse point means the moves we make now can have karmic consequences that change the trajectory of our very existence. However, messenger Mercury swims aside nebulous Neptune making realities combine, overlap and converge; not much is easily understood for now. It makes for an imaginative mind-space, giving a serendipitous quality to how we come upon ideas, answers or guidance. While we might lack clarity, we do best trusting our own intuition while giving others the space to make sense of thoughts and feelings of their own. Stress is coming from the soul at this time! So while discomfort may be a nuisance, staying heart centered will get us a level up! And into new dimensions where love is a simple and universal language.
