With the Sun now in Leo, the energy is brighter, more outgoing, and more passionate. As we follow the Moon through this waxing phase, we’re invited into creative exploration of where we are now.

This New Moon, landing as it does at the end of Cancer, the Moon’s home sign, is pregnant with possibility. We have the opportunity now to make good on our promises–to ourselves, to those we care about, to the world.
We’ve made it through the summer eclipse season and have a lot to process and understand. We’ll be working on this during the waning cycle as we journey toward our second New Moon in Cancer.
Tonight’s Full Moon in Capricorn is also a penumbral lunar eclipse, the last in the Cancer/Capricorn eclipse cycle we’ve been in since the summer of 2018.
We’re past the intensity of the New Moon Solstice eclipse and journeying through deep emotions as we move toward the Full Moon in Capricorn.
Today we enter the Solstice, which, this year, flows into a New Moon with an annular solar eclipse. It’s a complex and intense lunation.
We’re now inside eclipse season, finding our voices, learning more about who we are in the world, on the way to a powerful solar eclipse.
This eclipse Full Moon in mutable signs heralds many transitions, happening at many levels. There is much to explore.
The lighthearted Gemini energy is offset by the ongoing Venus retrograde in that sign, so that we are alternately upbeat and reflective. We’re also heading into eclipse season, so things continue to feel portentous.
This New Moon in Gemini is a fresh breeze–but also brings in the trickster as we all learn to navigate a new landscape.
