Tomorrow night is the first time the eclipse points (Rahu and Ketu) cast their shadow onto the sun and the moon in their new-ish homes of Taurus and Scorpio. This one isn't a visible one from Australian shores but there is still an energy building that causes some confusion and illusion. Can I get a show of hands of someone who isn't questioning their reality right now and not 'going through something'?

​Now it ain't all doom and gloom (though of course there are complexities at work here with any eclipse seen or unseen) - the full moon exact at 8:29 AEDT Monday night - is in such a sweet spot. Rohini is the favoured 'red' moon due to it being in such a balanced and strong state. The moon when in this exaltation becomes clear, sweet, content and loving allowing the mind to flow. The moon is also Vargottama and Pushkara tomorrow night (say what?!!) which basically confirms its strength and wonderful ability to heal itself through this eclipse madness. Ultimately there is growth ahead with this moon/eclipse. I can hear you all grumbling from here - haven't we grown enough 2020? Short answer: no.

To me intuitively this feels like the grand ascension towards the big Jupiter Saturn conjunction on the 21st of December. Collectively our systems and ways of governing ourselves are at a precipice of great change and in need of even greater change. This eclipse is showing what is in the way of us all getting there. Now whenever Rahu and Ketu come into the mix on the full moon desire and detachment play a big part in this process. Be SUPER mindFULL over the next couple of days and avoid knee jerk reactions - make your life a meditation - become a vigilant observer of what the external world is showing you about your internal world. What is happening in your world is happening within and if you can truly become the witness to this there is a great opportunity and heal and move through something massive starting NOW.

Stay light,

As we enter this new moon phase together on Sunday afternoon with all the planets FINALLY out of retrograde we may feel like we are at a crossroad. We have had such backward motion for so long that we now do not know how to go forward. In fact through this we have come to learn the lessons of acceptance and the surrender of control yet in this we may have swung too far into passivity or denial. The Vishakha new moon shows us there are paths ahead of us and choices/actions are now at last to be made/taken. A symbol for this moon is an archway and as we walk through this symbolic archway, like any commitment in our life, it is our responsibility and courage to guide us through this transition. 

And a transition is here my friends! Jupiter and Pluto are together in the sky as I write and these two together bring transformation, rumbling up what is buried deep in our subconscious to be expressed and it is now expanded to be fully seen and acknowledged by you. Ultimately this meeting of planets promises a final victory or completion of lessons and those stark truths you've witnessed over the past year or so. Let these rumblings be a guide to what you truly need rather than listening to your head. 

My Sagittarian friends this is the final week of you ruler Jupiter being in its own sign so be prepared for a few miracles along the way. This has been a long time coming for anyone with planets in this sign (as always remember this is not western astrology - but sidereal placements). The shakti of this moon herds in the fruits of your harvest - in fact there is many paths for your achievement ahead. Those with Libra in your chart this is a new beginning or that 'choice' I said earlier in the realm of all things libra - love. In fact for us all how are your hearts? Let love guide you this new moon. 

Stay light,
Mark :)
