Sunday~Pisces Moon emphasizes softness, dreams, the subconscious and feelings with a conjunction to Neptune. A challenge might involve getting too lost in emotion. Pluto is in harmony with the Moon and square to the Sun. Consider how to channel and act on realizations, reflections that come from self study and self awareness to the next level. What arises from within affects external life and interactions. Justice and partnerships are two relevant themes. The fair and just answer may emerge for action and decision soon, perhaps at this upcoming Full Moon. Intuition strengthens during void of course Moon from 7:24 pm EST to 6:04 am when the Moon moves to Aries. A quieter night works best with this combination. Today's color is Black.

Monday~Jupiter stations direct at 1:30 am EST and Mercury direct begins at 11:17 am EST. Today is for pause though! Remember not to rush things and to think matters out fully and see perspectives beyond your own. Aries Moon tends to emphasize 'I' and 'me' so thinking about the whole picture and effects on another person can require extra focus. Aries Moon time starts at 6:04 am EST and is leading us toward Full Moon on Wednesday. The Moon aligns with Saturn in Aquarius for decisions and commitments to one another and within groups of connected people. If you're agreeing to something, make sure you're fully in. Saturn holds us to our promises. Mars trine to Jupiter activates what's been on hold and really needs decisive action. This trine at 10:36 pm EST does not mean you have to do it now, with urgency. Mars sometimes brings that compulsion. Instead stand with Jupiter newly direct and contemplate what offers the most growth, healing, prosperity and fairness for all involved.  Today's color is Red.

Tuesday~Aries Moon directly opposite Mercury newly direct in Libra. Answers and information will be requested or demanded. Conversations and planning may need to happen even if we are not quite feeling ready or prepared.  Partnership decisions and discussions tackle that 'me' versus 'we' question. What's in everyone's best interests and makes the most sense. Act and speak from a sensible and unselfish place. Otherwise arguments will easily trigger. Things that have been unsaid may be spoken loud and clear today. Fortunately in some cases, the Moon's alignment with Venus in Sagittarius encourages harmony. The more adventurous and new idea will probably win. Some will decide to go their own way rather than compromise.  The air and fire element results in movement, change, and leaving any cloudy, cluttered past in favor of a clear, inviting future. The Moon will appear Full. Clarify your goals and intentions. Aries rules the head, yet holds the contrast of instincts over intelligence. Stay out of lizard brain which often lives in and reacts to the past. Now is not then.  Today's color is Orange.

Wednesday~Full Moon in Aries is the Hunter Moon, the sign of the warrior, action and newness. Some will burn bridges intentionally, to cut cords, free themselves from oppression or toxicity. Some will act impulsively instead. Take your time in contrast to the Aries influence of fire and moving on. Jupiter, Mars and Pluto interact with this Full Moon. Things that have required patience, now require action. Take your observations, intuitions, and experiences over the past several weeks or months and go forth with that decision you've been waiting on. Also, notice if something truly needs more time, seems imbalanced or unfair, and does not take care of you as well as someone else. Mars opposite the Moon can be very activating. Breathe through the urge to strike or act out. Act and decide with a calm mind for your highest good and for no unwanted backlash. Full Moon 10:57 am EST followed by hours void of course. Be extra thoughtful and careful midday into Taurus Moon time beginning at 3:59 pm EST. This Moon sign helps ground some of the fiery energy that's been around all week. Settle into something decisive and/or calming. Invite relief after a stressful or overdue conclusion whether that's a final project, a midterm exam, or something that really needed to be aired out. White is today's color.

Thursday~Taurus Moon means business, and yet there are shifts in the air. Uranus and the Moon meet once a month in this sign and two different effects are 1. feelings of instability & 2. unintended results. The second can be really great such as varying a recipe and finding out it tastes even better, or trying an alternative and adventurous approach to something and finding out how well it works. Uranus is a catalyst for change. If you thought you knew exactly what was happening and today you find out that's not the case, this is the Uranus effect. Be open to revisions. There is unyielding energy from Saturn and the Moon, yet yield is likely what's needed. Today's color is Green.

Friday~Mars squares Pluto. We may feel this as fierceness about fairness. It could manifest as agitation about something that's unspoken, an undercurrent, something undeniable yet difficult to face. Since it's at 12:20 am EST, this may be in process from yesterday or the day before when the Moon was Full. Taurus Moon grounds in realities. Some will feel very creative today as the Moon and Neptune align.  Highly sensitive situations and emotions arise. One question is what to do, as Taurus Moon influences a definitive and hands on approach. Void Moon begins at 4:35 pm with a trine to Pluto in Capricorn. Follow your intuition and inner knowing. This is the final day of Libra birthdays as the Sun moves over the final degree and heads to Scorpio before 1 am EST Saturday. Today's color is Black.

Saturday~ The Sun enters Scorpio for the height of autumn season, at 12:51 am EST. The Moon moves to Gemini at 3:57 am EST. What a difference from yesterday's picture. Some will feel lighter emotionally. It may be easier to let go and have your attention drawn away from the heaviness. The Moon aligns with Saturn for important group meetings and decisions. It's a good brainstorming day, and also a time for finding some clarity within a group of people, such as consensus. Gemini Moon is social too. Peek out into the post Mercury and Jupiter retrograde world. Keep your mind open and also aware. Today's color is Yellow.

Sunday~Sagittarius Moon continues themes of Friday & Saturday by engaging with the Sun, Mars and Mercury retrograde. Go forward with the learnings and experiences of the past integrated. Feel the fire and inspiration of following your purpose and truth. Let the path emerge rather than forcing anything. Keep fairness in mind and honor culture, heritage, and the two sides of everything. Be deliberate with your actions, movement, and how you pursue your path versus the kind of action that is actually escapist as Sagittarius Moon squares Neptune. Saturn is about to station direct overnight which may free up energy in some area, such as buying home or land if that's been stuck in process. Today's color is Yellow.

Monday~The Moon is in Sagittarius aligned with Jupiter in Aquarius overnight at 12:30 am EST.  Void Moon begins then until 1:15 pm EST. Capricorn Moon time with no planetary aspects today. Connect with the land. Hiking, landscaping, organizing, and anything related to property is favored. Today's color is Green.

Tuesday~Capricorn Moon squares Mercury retrograde, the Sun and Mars in Libra. This may bring up questions of what to do in fairness and justice, in legal matters, and in planning. Things you've been thinking about, reflecting on and maybe developing plans for come into focus for more action. Capricorn Moon also forms a trine to Uranus in Taurus. Sometimes this feels like uncertainty or instability, and how to move forward with plans may be dependent on reinforcing the security and foundation you can then build on. Saturn stations direct at 10:17 pm EST. Today's color is Brown.

Wednesday~Capricorn Moon aligns with Neptune and meets Pluto before moving void of course until 4:47 pm EST. Spend a bit of time with your visions and daydreams today. Great things can emerge when the imagination runs wild. Venus aligns with Saturn newly direct. Sense harmony with your sense of purpose and belonging, including the people and groups you're involved with. New sense of commitment may arise now. Aquarius Moon moves in at 4:47 pm EST. Today's color is Blue.

Thursday~Aquarius Moon meets Saturn and is in harmony with Venus and Mercury retrograde. Uranus squares the Moon. Some of the matters in the forefront involve systems, strong foundations, the strength of groups and collaborations, and reorganizing any of this as Mercury retrograde ends soon (October 18th, Monday).  Consider who, including groups of people, you align with and whether they match your intentions, goals, philosophy and your energy. Let this help guide you. Today's color is Silver.

Friday~Aquarius Moon trine to Mars and in conjunction with Jupiter. The Sun in Libra also aligns with Jupiter and the Moon. All of this is air element which means thinking, sorting, analyzing, and sometimes results in indecision. Let's look at some other traits of these planets. Mars is action and assertiveness and currently in the area of equality and justice. The Sun is forthcoming and expressive, and Jupiter is about expansion, growth and things that spread and transmit including ways of thinking. Jupiter is in inventive, original Aquarius. Original ideas may come up for decision. Look at the possibilities. Long void of course Moon from 8:33 AM EST for taking it slow and being cautious and not overdoing anything. Pisces Moon begins at 10:22 pm EST. Today's color is Light Blue.

Saturday~Pisces Moon squares Venus and aligns with Uranus. This could feel emotionally chaotic or stimulate a lot of feelings. Relationships could feel out of sync and misunderstandings or mixed feelings could occur. Mercury retrograde is in harmony with Venus for plans, meeting new people, and relating generally with others. That may sound like a conflict~ do we get along with others today or are we misunderstanding or in conflict? I think our more close, personal relationships are more likely to be confusing or complex while interactions in a broader sense may be interesting or show potential. Mercury and Jupiter station direct on Monday, and if something can wait til then for finalizing, that may be astrologically more in favor. Today's color is Pink.

New Moon in Libra October 6, 2021 & Tarot Lesson Info

HI Everyone,

New Moon in Libra at 7:05 am Wednesday morning is an opportunity for new intentions. Intention is a word that's tossed around a lot so let's sit with that for a few breaths. 

What does it mean to feel intentional? Intention relates to motivation and inspiration as well, and to create an effective and true intention, one needs to feel it from inside. The drive and passion must be internal and supported with feeling. If your New Moon idea for intention comes from 'should' or 'have to', take some time to reflect on what the bigger, more expansive idea behind this is. More Peace? Well Being? Healthier relationship? Forgiveness?  A broader intention like this has spaciousness to show itself and manifest in many ways. 

Libra New Moon is especially connected to one on one relationships, harmony, fairness, justice, giving and receiving both. Notice where there may be imbalance. You can feel it in your bones, hear it in your inner voice, sense it intuitively through third eye center and your gut. This New Moon happens during Mercury retrograde so there's an eye and ear to the past as we integrate our experiences and in some cases get or grant second or third chances to move toward harmonious resolution and/or clarity.  These are the concepts we consider and explore in Chakra Flow Wednesdays at 5:30 and often in Morning Yoga on Wednesdays at 7:30 am. Both classes can  be accessed virtually on zoom. 

New Moon may influence you physically, mentally and energetically. The beginning of the lunar cycle is fueled by action oriented Mars and by Mercury retrograde in pursuit of justice and moderation while in Libra. Libra is musical, so immerse in sound, music and your own voice. Exercise your glute muscles, and find more space and ease in your lower back 

with postures like bridge, tree, and shoelace as some examples. 

I hope to see you soon at Leaping Waters & we can explore these connections together. 

I'm offering Tarot and Intuitive reading immersion on 3 90 minute sessions on Sundays, October 17th, 24th and November 7th. Pick up a tarot deck and I'll meet you there!

Ace of Cups from the Mythic Deck

Sunday~The Moon enters Virgo at 4 :38 am and Mercury retrograde forms a trine to Jupiter tonight. It's a favorable day for getting along and making things work. Allow for words and conversations that heal, and do not hurt or sting. Before the New Moon, you may opt for chaos or disorganization as part of the reorganizing and planning process. Today's color is Brown.

Monday~ Virgo Moon aligns with Uranus in the morning. Early day problem solving anticipated. Flexibility is important  today. The moon opposes Neptune and later aligns with Pluto for either creative process or analysis in order to revise something. How are things working. New Moon is coming for a fresh approach. Black is today's color.

Tuesday ~Virgo to Libra Moon at 8:41 am EST. The Moon and Saturn align today for renegotiating either within ourselves or with external sources. Keep justice and fairness in mind. Allow for revisions. Try to find consensus. Wear Gray.

Wednesday ~ New Moon at 7:05 am EST in Libra. Pluto direct at 2:29 pm EST. The zodiac is full of activity. Mars is most influential to New Moon which activates energy, our minds, anything regarding partnership, marriage, divorce. And Mercury retrograde  also meets the Moon for blasts from the past. Avoid old emotional patterns or attachments. Today's color is White 

Thursday ~Libra to Scorpio Moon at 10:22 am EST. Venus moves to Sagittarius at 7:21 am for sense of adventure and exploring what or whom else is out there. Scorpio Moon often leans toward holding on tightly. The Moon square Saturn at night could be a conflict or battle about that. Emotional and business situations both could intensify.  The Sun and Mars meet in Libra just after midnight for strong will and potentially confrontational energy in the name of what's just. Wear Indigo.

Friday~ The Sun & Mars set up the day. Air sign Libra stokes the Sun and Mars' fire. We'll tend to be very passionate and fiery about what we feel is right, fair or needs to be aired out. This may be energizing. Yet it could also feel like 'too much'. Take care of yourself and set your boundaries. Scorpio Moon opposite Uranus in Taurus rattles and shakes and can take things out of our control. That will be frustrating, scary or agitating for anyone hoping to hang on tightly to one way or doing or thinking. This is a monthly occurrence, yet always under different circumstances and degrees of a sign. We may feel this physically (Taurus) and emotionally (Scorpio). There are 3 more Moon/planet aspects today and tonight. They lean toward introspection and taking care of what's closest and most personal. Immerse in music or art to channel that Scorpio intensity. Do some deep thinking and expect memories and the past to be coming up as Mercury is still retrograde. Jupiter and Saturn are in their last days of retrograde too. Today's color is Black. 

Saturday~Void of course Moon 2:05 am EST to 11:24 am EST. Patience is called for this morning. The reflection and depth of Friday continues and may begin to lighten or even feel more clear by afternoon. Go slow this morning and do not let yourself be unnecessarily triggered or set off balance. Avoid an argument under these aspects. Sagittarius Moon blows fire into the day, and the Sun meets Mercury retrograde for another peak time of the retro in Libra. Reconnections, old business, memories and new attempts at unfinished decisions are all possible results. Mercury also meets Mars putting fire behind our causes and actions that may be politically or philosophically motivated. Debates heat up. There could also be lots of activity and discussion about decisions that require someone else's approval or support. 

Venus is now in Sagittarius, a free spirited place for the planet of love and harmony. Venus and the Moon meet and our hearts respond. Adventures, breaking from routine, hanging out with one favorite friend or your love, and exploring are all favored and instigated. This conjunction may bring the variety, fun or break you need. Today's color is Red.
