Today’s New Moon in Sagittarius (12/19/2025) is conjunct the Galactic Center (our Milky Way) and coincides with the closest approach to Earth of 3iATLAS.

3iATLAS is an interstellar/intergalactic object seeding us with benevolent Qi from billions of years of travel through our Universe. Older than our SOLAR SYSTEM, never before been here, full of cosmic dust, plasma and electromagnetic energy from billions of years of travel. However we look at this event, it is amazing and magical. Whether our perspective is from a 3D/waking reality or from an intuitive, psychic, 5D reality, this is a big deal.
Many Intuitives have connected with this Interstellar Traveller as a visitor attuned to many Dimensions and having many Portals.
Whatever your focus this is a time of deeply intuitive connections and an expansion (Sagittarius) of our understanding, wisdom and knowledge. Sagittarius’ image is of a centaur aiming an arrow off into the Heavens. Centaurs are alchemical by nature, transforming, healing and opening us to new vistas, beliefs and adventures. Conjunct our Galactic Center and seeded by an Intergalactic Visitor, we are offered a premordial soup of benevolence and support; a welcoming, an opening, a holding.

The entire span of Sagittarius is lit up from 1° (Black Moon Lilith) to 28° (Sun and Moon) and these Celestials cradle Mercury, Venus and Juno also in Sagittarius. A key phrase for Sagittarius is, “I see.” Other words that are evocative of this energy are vision, truth, knowledge, optimistic, seeker, adventurer, philosopher.
All together this is an extremely harmonious New Moon with a lot of support for creativity, solutions, and for manifesting those creative solutions. All of the outer planets, from Jupiter to Pluto are aspected in beneficial, flowing and balancing ways. There is difficulty aspected as well. However, the energy and support needed to overcome and restructure these challenges is expressed beautifully by the biquintile (144°) between Mars in Capricorn and Uranus Retrograde (Rx) in Ta**us. 144 is a frequency, a harmonic created by dividing the 360° circle by 5. The music created by this vibration is a grounded one which seeks to create, build and make patterns and structures out of disharmony. There is conflict with flow; ripples and the smoothness inherent within the issue or situation.

It is a good time from now through Solstice and Christmas to be in ceremony or to conduct ourselves with a ‘ceremony mindset’. That is to say, do all in a sacred manner. Go gently, mindfully through and about your daily tasks and encounters. See the sacred in all things, yourself most of all.
Reclaim the wonder and excitement we all had as children. The horrors of the current reality can only shift with a new vision and intent. We can help others immensely by coming from a place of kind attention.

We all have so much to be grateful for, including our agency to create the life we want. As we vision a world where all have this same right and privilege, we do not ignore the suffering, we are giving energy that opens a door to a better World. This is a ‘yes, and’ approach. Acknowledging what is not in harmony even as we focus (point an arrow to) where we are going. This time calls for a vibrational shift, not an end by destroying but an end by uplifting our frequency so that cruelty and harm is just not possible or even contemplated.

Keep any ritual or ceremony very simple and easy: light a candle, play some drums physically or from online, lie on a special carpet or blanket and rest, dream, vision, breathe. Light sage, or another aromatic herb, welcome in any messages of love and healing. Hold a container in your mind of love and peace. That is all that is needed.

Write down any insights or flashes of wisdom that you experience over the next 5-7 days. They will come! No matter what Holy Days you celebrate this is a numinal time of benevolence and uplifting for all. This tide raises all boats. There is no other. There is no 5D separate from 3D, it is more like nesting dolls or onions. Not like a cake, as Shrek so rightly said. We are all One. There is no other or over there that is safe from all suffering. We all rise together, leaving no one behind or left out. And so it is.

The Part of Fortune for this New Moon is at 18° Cancer. John Sandbach’s intuitive reading for this degree is as follows:
“Gnomes creating beautiful and ornate metalwork. (Omega Symbol) Manifesting/Receptive. You have a strong need to express yourself, and to create something that others will enjoy and be uplifted by. You have a great willingness to work with other people for the common good, and don’t mind taking on difficult or arduous projects. You have the ability to turn what is ugly or negative into something beautiful, even though the transformation may be tremendously challenging.

The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “A black child playing with a tiger.” Innocence toying with power can, on the one hand be dangerous, but if it is innocent enough, that innocence can protect it. The Gnomes of the Omega Symbol work with something that is very resistive – the metal, whereas the child interacts with something very volatile. In both cases a challenge is taken up, the challenge of creating something wonderful, and the challenge of meeting power head on. Love is what will ultimately tame the tiger, and patience and attentiveness is what will ultimately create the beautiful metalwork.”

Full Moon in Gemini (12/4/2025)
We may feel this Sun and Moon opposition very deeply and uncomfortably as the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Gemini square the Nodes of Fate in Pisces/Virgo. Issues of perception, viewpoints and belief systems surrounding our shared Humanity, service and power struggles may be brought to the surface aided by Mercury in Scorpio. A light will be shown on how we, personally have internalized struggles of power over vs empowerment and victimhood vs personal agency and choice. Flashes of insight are sure to help us reframe our experiences, both external and internal.
Neptune Rx and Saturn in Pisces and Pluto in Aquarius continue to be emphasized as we are called to embody our Higher Self and our greater vision/intention for a Humanity in Service to Gaia vs a detriment. The geometry of this Full Moon chart shows these three outer planets as the basket in a cradle held by Jupiter Retrograde (Rx) in Cancer; we are cradled in the arms of the Great Mother during this time of great transition. Any destruction or loss is only to allow for new growth and renewal in Harmony and Balance. Nancy Rebecca has a fabulous teaching on this, “When The Capstone Falls”, meditation at 31:16. (see comments for link)
The Moon opposes a stellium (grouping) in Sagittarius consisting of Sun, Venus, Mars, Juno and Black Moon Lilith. Whew! The Archer is VERY bright and bringing a lot of fiery insights, energy and wisdom/knowledge to our Spirit, our values, our relationships, our sovereignty and our wild and irrepressible feminine attributes.
The Sagittarius/Gemini polarity brings flashes of insight along with multiple ways of seeing, perceiving and believing while the Pisces/Virgo Lunar Nodes call us to embrace our Oneness and release stories and belief systems of Othering, and of the Victim/Perpetrator cycle.
The Buddhists say, “I am That”.
The Chinese character 想 xiǎng means to think; to believe; to suppose; to wish; to want; to miss, and consists of the characters for Wood/tree and eye meaning 相 mutual, reciprocal; equal; each other, and the character for 心 [ xīn ] heart; mind; soul (www.purpleculture.net). Thus, that which we perceive literally IS us and when we bring this understanding into our hearts, belief and desire (for Oneness) is born. I say this because Oneness is our greatest Heart’s Desire.
I perceive the Truth as a Jewel with an infinity of facets, all can be equally true. Some we feel aligned with and others not. How can we honor our own truth while not judging or finding fault with others’ ? If the energy of a situation does not align with mine, it is not ‘wrong’ and neither am I. This is super challenging and especially so if at one time there was alignment.
The multiple energies in mutable signs with this Full Moon assist us in staying light and adaptable, and more easily able to flow with the rapidly changing energies that abound. The Trickster energy remains high, helping us to find relief in humor and absurdity as well as to pause and recenter ourselves.
Chiron Rx in Aries squares Jupiter Rx in Cancer and Pluto in Aquarius forming a T-square with Libra as an empty leg. Libra helps us focus on Harmony, Balance, and Temperance while encouraging a listening attitude as we heal the Wounded Masculine (Chiron Rx Aries), review and cleanse old timelines and family systems (Jupiter Rx in Cancer) and deconstruct what does not serve an enlightened Humanity (Pluto in Aquarius).
Scorpio Mercury opposes Uranus Rx in Ta**us bringing renewed values and relationships with Earth as the Scorpion brings up more dross to be healed in the Light of Truth and Reconciliation. Mercury Scorpio extends the Grand Water Trine of the past few months, first configured with Mars, then Venus and now the Messenger. Each of these personal planets have in turn been trine to Saturn/Neptune Rx and Jupiter Rx Cancer. There continues to be a deep purging of old emotional baggage for a renewed relationship with our Body, Mind and Soul.
Vesta in Capricorn holds us to the Earth, helping us to ground and to practice Heart Centered rituals that aid us as we move through this intensity.
We are in the midst of a Global Transformation and can inspire each other to be…
“A composer of simple melodies… (to have) a simple and direct way of expressing (oneself) that is beautiful, memorable, and which can make a vivid impression. It has to do with the removal or reduction of complexities that then allows the true essence of a thing to shine through. This gives the world a clarity that is revealing and refreshing – a window into the realm of spirit….An unknown language is being decoded….
In a lush dark forest a unicorn prancing. (Omega Symbol). The simple and beautiful melody that spontaneously comes from us takes us to a place of rest and rejuvenation where we meet the purity and truth of ourselves.
A man with a single horn coming out of his forehead. (Chandra Symbol). The courage to try new things for the purpose of bringing healing into the world ultimately has a powerfully potentizing effect on our intuition.” ~ John Sandbach
I hope this is helpful. These energies affect me so strongly that I can rarely offer insights until after they have settled in me. However, the Moons seed for the following 2 weeks (Full Moons), month (New Moons) and even for many months depending on the geometries and energies that they catalyze.
This Moon in particular is setting us up for the challenges and opportunities of the New Year, not just in January, with 2026, but also with the Year of the Yang Fire Horse in February and the New World Point activation of Saturn and Neptune conjunct at 0° 45’ Aries, also in February. Whew! Thankfully, we have all the help we need from the Cosmos, from Gaia, in the Qi/Ether and from each other. Be kind, seek comfort in simple acts of gentleness and quiet, especially with oneself. Blessings on the Journey.

Your journey is not the same as mine, and my journey is not the same as yours.
But if you meet me on a certain path, may we encourage each other to carry on and remind each other that we are not alone ..

This New Moon in Scorpio (11/19-20/2025) is a powerful portal to clean and clear any last dredges of Old Karma, Old Patterns, Agreements and any other tired and worn out Trauma Bonds of Heart and Soul. The intention of the Stars is to aid us in clearing and cleaning as very best we can in order to move into the New Start of next Spring (Saturn/Neptune at 0°Aries) as free and clear as possible. Thus, the Scorpio Stellium (grouping) invites us to bring to the surface anything that is not in alignment with our true values and self worth (Scorpio Venus), our deep inner knowing (Scorpio Mercury Retrograde-Rx), our authentic Self (Scorpio Sun), our sacred Emotional Body and intuitive connection (Scorpio Moon), as well as our unencumbered sovereignty (Scorpio Dark Moon Lilith). This tall order may surface as painful, old, or just unfinished business. It could be as mundane as that art/craft project we’ve tucked away, or as earth shattering (Uranus Rx in Ta**us) as an old family skeleton or addictive pattern resurfacing. This is only for the purpose of transformation, regeneration, and rebirth. The symbols of Scorpio tell us the Path to follow: with deep intuitive knowing we face our fears (Scorpion), shed what no longer serves and what actually constrains us (Snake), we transform issues of power and truth (Phoenix) to rise and shine with the Sun, soaring with freedom and authenticity (Eagle).
This is an intense time and we are well supported for this difficult work by a Grand Water Trine led by Neptune and Saturn both Rx in Pisces (Divine Love, grounded in Reality), Jupiter Rx in Cancer (the Divine Mother and Supreme Benevolence) both trine that intense Scorpio Stellium.
Jupiter Rx in Cancer emphasizes that Mother Love is the greatest Magic and signifies a time of re-mothering for All.
The Water Grand Trine can bring emotional sensitivity. We may need a lot of solitude and self love to create Sacred Space for this shedding.
Pluto in Aquarius aligns in harmony and flow as well, sextile both the Neptune/Saturn conjunction in Pisces and the Scorpio Stellium. We are supported with harmony, synchronicity, balance and a Powerful Intuitive knowing with so much Water, Scorpio and Mercury cazimi (very close to) the Sun in Scorpio. Though it may feel intense, this time is profoundly auspicious. Take all the time you need for yourself, for solitude, for connecting with your body, your soul and your Spiritual Support Team.
There are also many signatures for new beginnings and forward, energetic movement with Mars and Juno in Sagittarius and both Ceres and Chiron Rx in Aries. These two Fire groupings also indicate a powerful pairing of the Sacred Masculine and Feminine working together for New Beginnings in a healed and enlightened manner. I use the word ‘enlightened’ very literally here: full of light and also light-hearted. There is a buoyancy available to us and there will be more as that super Stellium in Scorpio moves into Sagittarius.
The task before us at this time is daunting, but we are surrounded by Love, Grace and Support. May we clear the space needed in order to allow that Flow to manifest in our Hearts, Bodies and Minds. We can do this. Together.

This Full Moon in Ta**us (11/5/2025) shines a light on our inherent value and the beauty we wish to bring forth with which to flower the Earth. She brings a light of illumination to the Deep Truth that the Scorpio Sun brings to the surface for acknowledgement and clearing. When this polarity works well together, Ta**us can make compost to enrich our soil out of the Deep Cleaning that Scorpio delights in. Kindness and Truth can enrich our lives with beauty and abundance.

Venus, who rules Ta**us, and thus this Full Moon, is in quite a stressed position. Now in the last degrees of Libra (another sign she rules), Venus has to make adjustments between many points of view brought forth in sudden bursts, and the demands of aligning with Spirit and respecting Structure/Reality. How do we value ourselves and treat ourselves and each other kindly with so much diversity of experience and ways of seeing the World? How do we ground ourselves in Spirit and Oneness despite the turmoil and swirls of change? Venus in Libra seeks this tall order of harmony and balance while opposing Chiron Retrograde (Rx) in Aries. This added challenge calls them both to cooperate toward the goal of a healed sense of Self and Self-worth in order to forge a new path forward, a new identity, in alignment with our Highest Good.

No relationship can be in alignment without the sacredness of Self and Other equally honored. Issues of self worth and values (Ta**us) have come to the surface (Scorpio) for review and for alignment with Spirit (Neptune Rx in Pisces). Differing ways of experiencing and communicating that experience (Uranus Rx Gemini) must be grounded in reality in a mature and responsible way (Saturn Rx in Pisces) honoring the sacredness of All. A Kite formation pointing to Pluto in Aquarius tells us where we are going with this Very Tall Order: toward a Humanity in alignment with Natural Law and a healed Sacred Masculine and Feminine honoring each other and expressed through a mature, grounded responsibility for kindness and care. This is true Empowerment.

This Kite formation includes a woobly Air/Water Grand Trine. I call it wobbly because it is full of planets at the end or beginning degrees of air or water signs and looks and feels a bit unsteady. Depending on how this Moon effects your chart you may feel woobly, uncertain, or deeply challenged with emotions. Remember your tools: Nature, connection to Spirit, nurturing movement (yoga/tai chi/qigong), clean water and nourishing, grounding foods, like root vegetables.

Uranus Rx changes from Gemini to Ta**us on the Nov. 7th, further accentuating the themes of Deep care and nurture for our Earth, personal and collective.

On a lighter note, both Scorpio and Ta**us are extremely intuitive and creative.

The following quotes from John Sandbach express this Polarity’s Creative urges beautifully. Ta**us: “You love to be able to move and to be free. You think on your feet and are very good at spontaneous expression. All you need is a supportive context in which to create and experiment in direct, open fashion, and your essence will shine forth, continually surprising both yourself and other people.” Scorpio: “…. to express creative urges freely and without need of any support or permission from outside brings us into contact with the power of our own needs and instincts.”

Remember to play, smile and to lift your face up to the wind and the sun and the moon.

The Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces on 9/7/2025 was personally very challenging for me. I hope you made it through OK. I am taking a lot of time to recover and integrate what for me was an intense activation for release of several key aspects of my natal chart. Having been sick with a virus for several weeks now, I was not able to drive and my car battery ran down. Yes, that is a metaphor. :)

When I was able to drive again and went out to my car I kept smelling what I thought was dog poo. I searched around and found a mostly decomposed rabbit just at the front of the driver’s side of my car. Yes, that is a metaphor. :)
Truly, I have, at times lately, felt just like a dead, rotting rabbit. However, being plugged into the spiritual side of things, I looked it up. Meet Your Psychic says that this occurrence can indicate an initiation into a period of profound transformation and spiritual awakening. This happening during Ghost Month in the Lunar/Solar calendar adds to it’s potency. I sense the Ghost of the Rabbit guiding me between realms and through life challenges to a deeper honoring of the cycle of Death and Rebirth in my life.

“...the Rabbit is associated with fertility and abundance even to the point of death, reminding us that every ending has a beginning. ...signaling the release of old patterns for new opportunities for growth.” Meet Your Psychic

The word on the lips of astrologers, psychics and Intuitives for this month and for October is ‘purge’. It is not a great feeling, from my point of view. However, I do take heart from the profound support I feel all around me, in the skies, in my physical world and from my guides. However this eclipse found you, we are changed from it and supported through that change in countless ways.

The image I chose well before this Full Moon tells me just how to be. Be Water: flowing, adaptable, gentle, rich with resource and life giving relief and release; cleansing, nourishing. Divine Love = Pisces. Filling up where empty, allowing to flow out when it’s too much; Water is life, water is love, water is mystery and magic. Water is All. May you be refreshed, sustained and supported. There is healing after illness and life after every death.

This Virgo New Moon says "Go to Ground. Go to Seed. Concentrate your essence and be Still. The Spring brings New Beginnings that we will need our energy for."
The New Moon (8/22/25 just before Midnight) finds herself under stress and called inward. She must make internal adjustments that she will need for the huge shifts and changes coming. A Grand Water Trine with Jupiter in Cancer, the North Node in Pisces, and Vesta/Juno in Scorpio nourish her with the Waters of Kindness, Care, Forgiveness and Emotional Truth. Her support is subtle and very Yin/Feminine. She may find a lot of hot air, a lot of mental flotsam and jetsam, flying around that threatens to carry her away from herself.

“Beauty and meaning are ever-present in nature, and transcend words and all other constructs of the human mind. How wonderful and refreshing to get beyond the mind and to see the striking uniqueness and originality in every aspect of cosmic process.
You are aware of all the mind garbage that floats around in the world, and have a gift for being able to look beyond it into higher realms of purity and harmony. Your non-attachment to thought processes can cause you to be more directly in tune with the immediate energies at work in a situation, and to ground and focus others.” John Sandbach

The energies of the Full Aquarius Moon on 8/9/2025 are still in effect offering an incredibly strong tail wind for change and clearing. Loads of Fire and Air form 2 Kites, a Golden/Mystic Rectangle and a Grand Air Trine . Be a kite then, tethering your energy deep into the Earth, grounding it to the Core. Trim the wings of your kite to set your direction, clean and clear, to your highest ideals (Aquarius) and intentions as you ground it to the Earth (Saturn Retrograde in Aries) to make it real. Steady your Heart in the middle of this alignment; open, courageous, brave, generous, warm and uniquely creative(Sun in Leo). Leo Shines as the Water Bearer pours the Cosmic Knowing into our Vessel. Meanwhile Jupiter, Sirius and Venus conjoin in Cancer to expand our compassion, kindness and emotional truth in support of our re-Mothering with the Divine Feminine. She is rising, as are we all. Allow yourself to be embraced by this Grand Benevolence. Allow yourself to release the old and embrace the new: an integrated Self, with Divine Feminine and Masculine energies co-creating in Harmony as the Yin/Yang symbol and philosophy teaches us. If you feel overwhelmed, tired, over stimulated or brain dead, you are right on time! Gentleness, self care and releasing self judgement are musts.
All is well, though it certainly does not seem like it. We are being supported and cared for, more than we know. May the Air and Fire guide you and energize you as The Waters of the Mother (Cancer) cleanse you and keep you well.
