Full Moon, April 20, 2008 The moon is full in Scorpio, the sign of transformation. As the eighth sign of the zodiac, Scorpio moves the warrior energy we began with at the Aries new moon inward, and the battle is waged within the self. Scorpio seeks to merge with or inherit power, by combining forces with whoever or whatever will bring that experience. Therefore, all Scorpio energy is deeply concerned with the mysteries of life and death, and all matters considered to be matters of life and death, like legacy, money ...

Full Moon, January 10, 2009The moon is full in Cancer, the Crab. As its companion planet, the moon is at“home” in Cancer, and Cancer and the moon together bring us that longing for the coziness and security of home, and all it means to us emotionally. This is often a very subjective conglomeration of memory, mothering, instinct, roots, domesticity, tradition, and the proverbial nest egg. One otherCancerian quality that isn’t always highlighted, but is actually quite prominent in areas where the moon and Cancer ...

Full Moon, May 8, 2009The moon is full in Scorpio, the eighth sign of the tropical zodiac. The emotional roots we put down at the Taurus new moon now grow in mysterious ways that challenge us to evolve and transform. Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth, so it reminds us in this season of new life, that a new life always grows out of an old one, and that we can’t have one without the other. The emotional allure of a Scorpio moon may tempt us to project a cool exterior while on the inside our emotions are r ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
New Moon, April 24, 2009The moon is new in Taurus, the bull, the second sign of the tropical zodiac. When the moon joins the sun in Taurus, it is our signal that Spring is in, well, full swing! As far as Taurus is concerned that means settling in at the roots. Spreading your toes and holding your ground, doing whatever it takes to stick around and stay comfortable doing it. Taurus is the first earth sign, and when the moon reflects its energy to us at the beginning of a new lunar cycle, we feel deeply about what w ...

New Moon, March 26, 2009It’s a new season, just days after the Spring Equinox, which is when the sun reaches the Aries point, the exact beginning of the tropical zodiac. As if to emphasize that beginning, the moon is also new in Aries. Spring is Aries own season, and it’s instinctual bursting forth energy awakens us to possibilities of new growth and new life. This new moon we have a significant gathering in the early degrees of Aries, as both Mercury and Venus retrograde in Aries join the conjunction of the s ...

Full Moon, March 10, 2009The moon is full in Virgo, the Virgin. As the sixth sign of the tropical zodiac, Virgo prepares us for the last half of the zodiac in which we interact in partnership and public life. In the astrological metaphor of Virgo, our habits and our health and necessity of digesting and integrating food and food for thought are major themes. Virgo strives to perfect procedures to make them run smoothly and cleanly, and so it presides over our everyday work environment and habit. One key question Vi ...

New Moon, February 24, 2009The moon is new in the realm of watery Pisces, the last sign of the tropical zodiac. In astrological metaphor, Pisces wisdom, with the image of the two fish swimming in opposite directions, brings us the emotional mystery that when we lose our way, we find ourselves anew. At the invisible beginning of the lunar cycle we don’t yet see the moon in the sky, so we grope through the Piscean mist in the belief that the seed or light will grow even when it is so dark or buried we can’t yet ex ...

Full Moon, February 9, 2009The second in the first pair of eclipses of 2009 is in Leo, the Lion. At this full moon, in the reverse pattern of eclipse metaphor, Leo points us back to the beginning of this lunar cycle, and the new moon solar eclipse in Aquarius, reminding us that opposites and differences can often be illusory. Now, at the full moon, whatever emotional experience we embody will also bring with it a surprising opportunity to transcend those personal roots and tune in to the common note sounding our esse ...

New Moon, January 25, 2009Just four minutes from midnight on January 25, the moon is new in the sign of Aquarius, the water bearer. This new moon is also a solar eclipse, which occurs when the new moon in orbit aligns with the earth-sun plane known as the ecliptic. This event will be visible in the southern hemisphere in Indonesia and partially in Southern Africa and Australia.
As with all eclipses in astrological metaphor, the relationship of the sign the eclipse occurs in to its opposite sign is more pronounced. T ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
New Moon, December 27, 2008The moon is new in the sign of Capricorn, the sea goat. As the cardinal sign representing the element of Earth, Capricorn presides over the midheaven, the angle at the top of the chart that describes our relationship to authority figures and power structures. Most fundamentally, Capricorn and its companion planet Saturn, govern the essential structuring of the material world, up to and including the structure of our bodies, our skeletons, crystals and rocks, and even the passing of time.

Full Moon, December 12, 2008The moon is full in Gemini, the sign of the twins. As the third sign of the tropical zodiac, Gemini brings us conscious awareness of our immediate environment and interest in recognizing and interacting with all the variety within it.

New Moon, November 27, 2008This new moon, which also falls on American Thanksgiving Day, is in Sagittarius, the archer. Sagittarius, along with its companion planet Jupiter, brings us the gift of generosity and the wisdom that it is through such generosity and open mindedness that we grow. In astrological metaphor, the new moon is a time of unity, when the sun and the moon are so close together that the moon's reflected sunlight cannot yet be differentiated, or seen, as distinct from the sun.

Full Moon, November 12, 2008The moon is full in Taurus, the bull. Taurus is the opposite of Scorpio, where we began this lunar cycle. Just as Scorpio beginnings are shrouded in secret and mystery, the Taurus counterpart of fulfillment is grounded in the formation of the material. Taurus is the earthy foundation upon which we build our physical vitality, our values, our cash, and all our resources. Taurus gives us the energy to hold on, and hold on tight, to that which will ground us in the sensual. In astrological me ...

New Moon, October 28, 2008The moon is new in Scorpio at the heart of the Fall Season, just a few days before Halloween, or Samhein. In both pagan and Christian traditions, this time is associated with the thinning of the veils between the spirit and material realms, and remembrance of the dead. So at this new moon, we pay homage to our memories, and to those that have come and gone before us, in our familial and cultural lines, by recognizing our connection to them.

Full Moon, October 14, 2008The moon is new in Aries, the ram. We continue to work with opposites as Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, and the starting point of the spring season, brings us the first full moon of Fall.

As the seventh sign of the tropical zodiac, Libra leads the way into relationship with others, by balancing the experience of self with the experience of partnership.

Full Moon, September 15, 2008The moon is full in Pisces, the sign of the two fish. As the last sign of the tropical zodiac, Pisces embodies the essence of each particular archetype represented by the preceding signs as it dissolves back into universal wholeness.

New Moon, August 30, 2008The moon is new at the end of August in the sign of Virgo. As the sixth sign of the tropical zodiac, Virgo is the sign of preparation for the more public interactions with the world that its place on the wheel represents.

Full Moon, August 16, 2008The moon is full this August in Aquarius, the 11th sign of the tropical zodiac. Though it will not be visible in North America, this full moon is also a partial lunar eclipse. In astrological metaphor, Aquarius brings us the experience of contradiction. While it is an air sign, it's symbol is the water bearer, who is usually depicted pouring out the water rather than keeping it contained. In fact, Aquarius energy does not like to be contained or controlled, and so it the sign most comfortab ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
New Moon, August 1, 2008The moon is new half-way between the summer solstice and the fall equinox this August 1 in Leo, the Lion. When the new moon lines up exactly on the ecliptic, the plane of the solar system on which the planets orbit the sun, a solar eclipse occurs. This particular eclipse is a so-called midnight sun eclipse, because it will be visible in northern regions experiencing midnight sun such as northernmost Canada, Siberia, Mongolia, and parts of China.

New Moon, July 2, 2008The moon is new at the beginning of July in Cancer, the crab, the fourth sign of the tropical zodiac. In astrological metaphor, each planet and light has a home in one of the signs, and Cancer is the moon's "home" or starting point.

Full Moon, May 19, 2008This month the moon is full in the eighth sign of the tropical zodiac again, Scorpio. May brings us a Scorpio moon full at the last degree of that sign, which carries special importance in astrological metaphor.

New Moon, May 5, 2008The moon is new in Taurus, the second sign of the tropical zodiac. In Taurus, the bull, whose curved horns remind us of the slim bowl of the new moon itself, the blossoming of spring comes into its own. When the moon is new in Taurus we feel the need to ground ourselves in sensual comforts. We also may feel emotional about holding onto what brings us those comforts, because without them we dont feel solid. As the first earth sign, Taurus offers us the experience of grounding, and the pleas ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
New Moon, April 5, 2008The moon is new in Aries, the ram, the first sign of the zodiac. As the first new moon of the spring season, this lunation brings us the robust energy of new beginnings.

When the moon is in Aries, we begin by taking action.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Full Moon, March 21, 2008The moon is full just a day after the Spring equinox in the sign of Libra, the scales. In Libra, the opposite of Aries, we learn to create balance through relating to others. Libra seeks the balance of beauty through art, wit, and pleasing conversation. Libras charm seeks a counterbalance to the singularity and combativeness of its opposite Aries, the sign of Spring and new beginnings. Libra is considered the sign of social contracts and marriage. Libra seeks to engage even his or her ene ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
New Moon, March 7, 2008The moon is new in Pisces, the last sign in the tropical zodiac. When we come to the archetype of Pisces, whose symbol is the two fish swimming in opposite directions, we merge with the raindrop that falls into the river, and the river that returns to the ocean. We give our particularity to the vastness of something larger than we are, often with little more than trust in giving ourselves over to what we believe and a compassion larger than ego driven love.

Full Moon, February 20, 2008The moon is full in Virgo, the sixth sign of the tropical zodiac. In the old illustrations, Virgo is depicted as a virgin seated with the fruits of the harvest, sometimes holding a baby in her arms, along with the wheat or the corn. Thus, this sign is associated with the richness of the harvest and the meticulous and regular work and attention required to bring it to ripening.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
New Moon, February 6, 2008The moon is new in February in Aquarius, the eleventh sign of the tropical zodiac. Illustrations depict Aquarius as a man pouring out an urn of water, and in older illustrations this figure is often an angel, which emphasizes the super-conscious quality of Aquarian knowledge and experience, poured out indiscriminately from the realm of genius or spirit for the enlightenment of all humanity.

New Moon, September 11, 2007The moon is new and partially eclipses the sun in the sign of Virgo, the virgin. While we wont physically see the eclipse in the northern hemisphere, the symbolism of it falling on the anniversary of 9/11 is hard to ignore. Sun in Virgo gives us purpose to dedicate ourselves to a task by isolating its steps and focusing on technique. When the purpose symbolized by the sun is eclipsed, we experience the opportunity to embrace the Piscean opposite of this ability, to merge with the emotiona ...

Full Moon, August 28, 2007The moon is full and totally eclipsed at the end of August in Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. When the moon is eclipsed, the energy of the sign it is in often flips itself over and expresses itself more like the energy of its opposite sign, which in this case is Virgo. Pisces is drawn into realms unfettered by the boundaries of space and time, while Virgo thrives on a proscribed and workaday routine. Pisces immerses itself in the whole while Virgo focuses on the details. So at this ful ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
New Moon, August 12, 2007The moon is new in Leo, the sign of the Lion. In Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, we find the essential vitality and heart of the life force itself. Symbolically, Leo aligns us with the energy of the sun, so a new moon in Leo joins forces with the sun from its archetypal home sign. Like the sun, Leos are born to shine, and so a Leo moon reflects the emotion of drama, play, romance and self-expression that is natural to the sun in that sign.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Full Moon, July 29, 2007The moon is full at the end of July in the sign of Aquarius, the water bearer. Its counterintuitive, in a way, that Aquarius, an airy intellectual sign, would be called the water bearer. Since Aquarius is the peak of the lunar cycle which began in Cancer, perhaps this unlikely symbolic abstraction brings us a tip about what forms the endeavors we started at the new moon may take. Perhaps they will become abstractions of themselves, or, at the experiential level that Aquarius works on, we m ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
New Moon, July 14, 2007The moon is new in mid-July in Cancer, the sign of the crab. As the fourth sign, Cancer inhabits both the summer and the midnight angle of the zodiacs wheel. This bottom angle describes both our cultural and familial roots, and a paradox which contains both the bright flambuoyance of summer and the mysterious magical hour of midnight. Cancer is like that: its both very public and very private, and you never know which side of this sign will show itself when.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Full Moon, June 30, 2007The moon is full at the very end of June in the sign of Capricorn, the seagoat. Capricorn is the 10th sign, and occupies the midheaven or high noon angle of the tropical zodiac. It is a sign of initiation into how we relate to authority and the power structures of the world.

The middle of anything is a great place to find Gemini energy, whether it is the farmers market, the center of a breaking news story, or the latest craze in technical gadgets. Gemini is an articulate talker, and often finds him or herself in the center of an argument or debate. The twinning tendency in Gemini makes him or her able to change spots according to whatever immediate environment he or she is immersed in, and ...

Full Moon, May 31, 2007The moon is full at the very end of May in Sagittarius, the sign of the centaur with the bow and arrow. In Sagittarius, we draw our bow and aim for the farthest horizons of history, philosophy, law, travel and education. We saddle up, fill up our knapsacks and take to the road, or we take a chance, or a gamble on a hunch or a grand idea that we are convinced will lead us to good fortune, healing, and wisdom. Sometimes, too, we wallow in excess of all kinds.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
New Moon, May 16, 2007The moon is new in the middle of May in the sign of Taurus, the bull. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, and the first earth sign. In Taurus, we find the foundation for life, whether it is the dirt, the literal foundation of our home, or the bedrock of savings or values we live by. Taurus, therefore, is practical and literally earthy, and like the soil it shares an affinity with, holds tightly that which it seeks to accumulate and grow.

Full Moon, April 2, 2007The full moon this month is in the sign of Libra, the scales. IN Libra, we balance opposites, the most essential of these being the tension and the attraction that exists between the self and the other. Libra helps us weight the consequences of our actions through the mirror of how others respond or react to them. At the solar eclipse in Pisces that began this lunar cycle just two days before the new beginning of Spring Equinox, we shifted the rock on which our beliefs and fantasies rested.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Full Moon, March 3, 2007The full moon in March is actually a total lunar eclipse in the sign of Virgo.

New Moon, March 18, 2007This lunar cycle begins with a solar eclipse in Pisces, the sign of the two fish. In Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, we often encounter that which we hide from in ourselves, and others. The Piscean fish who dares to swim upstream faces his or her identification with the victim, the downtrodden, the disabled, the addicted, the silenced, the religious fanatic or disciple, the old who have been exiled or dismissed, the terminally ill, and the imprisoned in a spirit of compassion that heal ...

The water bearer brings us what is most essential for the spirit of human dignity to survive: an innate intuitive knowing and allegiance to the truth.

It is also the sign of rebellions.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Full Moon, February 1, 2007The moon is full at the very beginning of February this year in the sign of Leo, the lion. In ancient Celtic traditions, February 1 is Imbolc, a name derived from the lactation of ewes, the flow of milk to new lambs that signals the awakening of Spring. In the northern hemisphere, it is also half way between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.
