Full Moon 9th July 2017

This Sunday 9th July at 5:06 am London time, there is an incredibly intense Full Moon at 17 degrees Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. So things are heating up (think Gordon Ramsey, hell's kitchen!) Pluto is a powerful planet that is extreme, deep, linked death, rebirth, transformation, taboos, crisis, manipulation. So although in Capricorn this Full Moon will feel more Scorpionic. The usual build up of emotions, anger, strange dreams, restlessness, sensitivity are all likely to have been experienced in the last few weeks. And this influence can expect to be felt for around 2 weeks after 9th. As the Moon conjunct Pluto is in opposition to the Sun and Mars in Cancer, pent up anger or repressed feelings or resentment could come to the surface and result in arguments or power struggles. What concerns me about this Full Moon is the potential increase in crazy, aggressive drivers on the road or people simply looking for a fight or to cause damage or worse. Pluto in opposition to Mars is war like, destructive, passionate, aggressive. Jealousy fuelled or competitive drunken fights between alpha males with this hot, balmy weather is how this Full Moon potentially feels. Sun (one self) in opposition to Pluto could represent an inner fight, negative self esteem or self destruction. On an emotional level Pluto in opposition to Mars can be manipulative, possessive, obsessive ('bee in the bonnet') Moon in opposition to Mars in Cancer may be moody, short tempered, critical, hyper sensitive. So an intense, dramatic Full Moon which feels like skeletons could come out of the closet or things could become explosive or dangerous. So please take extra care everyone and avoid being alone in risky places or with strangers (ruthless sexual predator energy/violence heightened) or where there are too many people. Try not to over react or take extreme action as things will feel different once the Moon starts to wane towards the Full Moon. Sorry to sound like the messenger of fear. On a positive note Moon conjunct Pluto can be cathartic, great for detoxing and deep transformation. There is a positive fire trine between Uranus in Aries, Saturn in Sagittarius and the North Node in Leo so a sense of excitement and freedom and inspiration looking towards future actions is indicated. The Lunar and Solar eclipses in August are going to be particularly lovely ones, so something to look forward to.

Super Full Moon in Aries, 16th October, 2016

This Saturday 16th October's Full Moon at 5.23 am London time is at 23 degrees in Aries. It is a Super Moon as it occurs roughly at the same time as when the Moon is nearest Earth in it's monthly orbit. Emotions are often heightened or super sensitised leading up to, during and after a Full Moon. Just as the Moon magnetically effects the waves of the Sea and we are made up of a high volume of water so the Larger Moon can whip up an internal storm. As Uranus is conjunct this Moon, some people may feel more volatile, crazier, more rebellious, gung ho or angry as Uranus is erratic, zany and perverse and Aries energy can be selfish, impetuous, impatient, temperamental and has a fiery temper.

The Full Moon is always opposite the Sun which is in Libra now, so there may be a struggle between the I, the self (Aries) and relationships (Libra). Uranus conjunct the Moon could translate as up and down moods, changeable or a roller coaster of emotions. 'Expect the unexpected', spontaneity or a desire for excitement or adventure could be a theme for some people with this Uranus conjunct the Full Moon in Aries. Mars the ruler of Aries is conjunct Pluto so desires, passion and or aggression may be intensified. Some people may try to provoke you or you may feel like antagonising or annoying others.

Weird or lucid dreams, insomnia or restless sleep are all common 'Full Moon' effects for an approximate 9 day period. With this Aries Full Moon's influences it's possible your dreams could be violent, bloody, angry, revolutionary, war like or alien/technologically orientated. Venus enters Sagittarius the next day (until Nov 11th) so heartfelt desire for excitement and adventure continues. A desire to travel, be foot loose and fancy free or to expand one's horizons is possible too.

Mercury conjunct Jupiter in square to Mars/Pluto highlights to take care not to jump to conclusions or to make a mountain out of a molehill. Just being aware of these possible influences can be helpful, as this influence will pass. Remember things that were hidden may come to light during or around a Full Moon but how one acts and reacts can make a huge difference to the future outcome. It's better to wait at least four days after a Full Moon before taking action if possible. Or at least try to be still amongst the storm, observe, digest and let things settle. In a few weeks it should feel a lot better, akin to waking to a serene dawn after deep rest, after a night of craziness. The New Moon in Scorpio on 30th Oct will feel optimistic, dreamy, magical and potentially transformative in trine with Neptune.
