This month’s Full Moon in Capricorn, Thursday June 28th, asks us if we are ‘fulfilled,’ illuminated, and ripened in our path of ambition. Have we achieved stable structures within our career path and are we patiently committed to our goals?

Our goals may shift as the summer progresses since this Full Moon begins the two month Mars Retrograde cycle – the dominant energy of this summer, lasting for two months between. The word ‘vocation’ means to be called, so with Mars Retrograde and this Full Moon, we are asked what we truly wish to be “response-able” for with our energy, what we are called to bring forth with more organized effort, and our will directed towards trusting increased intuition and sharing our unique original gifts (Mars square Uranus).

For more on the Mars Retrograde, Mars square Uranus, and July/August eclipses, check out my free 50 minute Summer Forecast podcast here.

Mars’ last retrograde occurred early Summer 2016, mostly in Scorpio, while this cycle in Aquarius will pose profound questions about our collective evolution for most of this coming Summer.

Since Mars directs our motivation, this cycle will compel us to collectively vision our ideal of true freedom for all humanity. We will especially become aware of the fundamental inequalities in the world, and strive to form more self-sustaining communities empowered by renewable technologies, barter, alternative currencies, and liberating group process. This cycle will also sensitize us even further to the plight of migrants around the world, fleeing from violence and dictatorial regimes.

Mars also rules the masculine essence and drive, and the retrograde cycle is an ideal time to study and acknowledge you and your partner’s Mars passions, which you can do in my courses: Love, Sex, and Relationship Success with Astrology: Honor Your Sacred Masculine and Feminine.   and   Tantra and Sacred Sexuality: The Water Element

Mars’ sexual pursuits are retrograde now in Aquarius—known as the most liberal and experimental of zodiac signs. This cycle will invite more of us to pry open our sexuality, revealing the restrictive nature of gender preference and closed models of relating. We will desire group experiences, workshops, and retreats that help us to liberate our sexuality and tune in to communicating and acting upon our authentic desires. Short-term commitments, such as handfasting, that increase personal freedom, but still focus on a shared evolutionary goal will be highlighted, as well as more tantric and energetic means of expressing and discovering our desire.

Summer Reading on the topic of Tantric Spirituality and Sacred Sexuality include the books:

Tantra Illuminated, Urban Tantra, Tantra Yoga Secrets, Tantra for Erotic Empowerment.

SuperMoon Blue Moon Blood Moon!! Leo Lunar ECLIPSE

One of the most spectacular Full Moons of our lives occurs this week: A SuperBlueBlood Moon!

ECLIPSE ASTRONOMY

The phrase, “once in a blue moon”, refers to the rarity of having two Full Moons in a month. This Blue Moon will also be a SuperMoon because it is perigree, which refers to the moon’s closest approach to Earth in a single orbit—its diameter will appear about 7 percent larger and 14 percent brighter than usual. And of course the Blood Moon refers to the awe-inspiring Lunar Eclipse, when the moon appears to darken as it moves into Earth’s shadow, the umbra. The sunlight that makes it around Earth passes through our atmosphere and is refracted toward the Moon. Blue light is filtered out, making the moon appear red.

The Total Eclipse phenomenon will be visible all over the world in all of the U.S., strongest in Hawaii and Alaska.  Set your alarm and get out early on Wednesday morning. The Moonset is determining how long the Eclipse will be visible for.  In Mountain time zone, the Partial Eclipse begins at 4:48 am., Total begins at 5:51, Maximum at 6:29, and ending at 7:07.

You can find all the details HERE of exact timing in your area for the Eclipse which will last a few hours,

ECLIPSE ASTROLOGY

We experience a Total Lunar Eclipse as the most powerful Full Moon of the year, thus energy is coming to fulfillment and resolution, karmic fruit is ripening and needs to be released to make space in our lives for new cycles of growth. As with all Full Moons, emotions can be more dramatic and undulating, especially since eclipses mark the transition phases from one stage of our collective and personal evolution into the next. Often cycles of relationship, career, home, and life focus come to a close, as others receive a fresh blessing and blossoming. Eclipses affect an individual more if they impact a specific planet or angle in your chart.

In my Eclipse and Nodes – Karmic Astrology Teleclass FEB. 7th, we will explore how these eclipses impact your chart directly, in addition to a deep exploration of the symbols of karma, reincarnation, and dharma – the Lunar Nodes. Sign up here.

However, eclipses play out on the global scale consistently, affecting nations and world events. Intriguingly, the Winter Olympics begin right in the middle of these eclipses on February 9, and in a current political hotspot of the world, in South Korea, just beneath North Korea. The Leo Lunar Eclipse impacts Donald Trump’s chart, almost directly hitting his Pluto, while Feb. 15th’s solar eclipse lands on Trump’s Descendant, in Aquarius. In the weeks during, preceding, and following these eclipses, we should see some more shadow material rising, likely lies, secrets, manipulations, abuse of power and wealth.

Wednesday’s Leo Eclipse at 11 degrees of Leo highlights our need to share and express more freely in the spotlight, on stage, the Artist-as-Leader, a time to create and play with both child-like excitement and innocent self-discovery.

RELATIONSHIPS

The feminine archetypes are dancing ecstatically for this Eclipse. Both VENUS, values, affections, and attractions, and asteroid of commitment and soul-contracts JUNO are conjunct the South Node and the Sun in Aquarius, and are opposite the two maternal astrological symbols The MOON and CERES – earth mother, and goddess of nurturing, belonging, fertility, and the necessary, seasonal cycles of loss and return.

Thus, this Moon should strongly highlight all relationships with our Mothers and matrilineal line, an ideal time to dive into ancestry, family constellation work, or rebirthing / birth trauma exploration. Also, with so many relational energies in Aquarius, we seek more personal freedom, authentic self-expression, sexual and relational experimentation, and a focus of energy towards community evolution and cosmic tribe inclusion.

Enjoy this rare astronomical event, and allow full surrender to the tidal emotional cleansing and creative explosion of this SuperBlueBlood Moon!

AUGUST STAR-Shadows: Mercury Retrograde, Lunar Eclipse, Perseid Meteors

Before August 21’s massive, highly anticipated Total Solar Eclipse at the last degree of Leo, visible throughout much of the U.S., we confront our next Lunar Eclipse and Mercury Retrograde cycles of initiation + the glory of the annual Perseid Meteor Showers.

 

August 7th’s Aquarius 15 degree Lunar Eclipse can be just as or more intense than the Solar Eclipse, especially because of the emotional fluctuations often present in the weeks before and after a Lunar Eclipse. It all depends on your chart: Those with planets between 10-20 degrees of Fixed signs Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius will most deeply experience the fruitful completions, surrendered resolutions, or necessary dissolu

tions of this Super Full Moon energy, with a focus on one’s freedom and authentic sense of self-expression.

With Mars opposite this Full Moon, irritable reactivity could bring supressed rage to the surface, through the trine from Jupiter may help inspire expanded perspective and help focus Mars’ intensity into a catalyzed role of leadership. Also peaking at this Lunar Eclipse is a question of our active creative contribution to humanitarian purposes and a tribe communally shifting the collective paradigm.

My new life on the road as a Digital Nomad and the conferences with other nomads this September in Portugal and Spain is one example of a global shift towards location independent work and a collaborative world community of those who seek more freedom, autonomy, and passion for living life to its fullest. Where is your evolutionary threshold and how do you gently push other’s over their edge during this revolutionary Lunar Eclipse?  Expect August to be a month of intense global action including fiery protest movements and rebellious surges for equal rights.

On August 12, Mercury once again turns Retrograde, in the sign of Virgo at 12 degrees. He will backtrack through the final degrees of Leo, where he turns direct again on September 5th. Virgo Mercury Retrograde emphasizes our ability to manage our time, energy, and resources more efficiently and analytically. We will likely become more acutely aware of what is not working in our daily/weekly routines and seek to implement new regimens of greater productivity through better systems. We can reflect on the best ways to utilize energy and time in service, health, and the simple but profound disciplines of daily devotion.

We are already in Mercury’s shadow period and thus, some of us with many planets in Virgo/Gemini, may already feel this Retrograde’s technology, communications, and travel challenges causing havoc in our lives. Be sure to back up important documents, avoid signing major contracts, and manage the above hassle areas with graceful acceptance.

Lastly, just as Mercury turns backwards, the annual Perseid Meteor Showers, the brightest starshow in the sky, peak on the 12th and 13th so find a location far away from the city pollution, and bask in the psychedelic stellar calligraphy of 80-100 dancing comets per hour.

Boiling Point: Leo Lunar Eclipse + Separation or Passion: The Aries God and Goddess

Eclipse Season begins to boil over this weekend with the masculine throb and pulse of Air and Fire signs everywhere.  The Eclipses, always two weeks apart from each other, act as super catalyzing New And Full Moons, causing directional shapeshifts in our relationships, career, creativity, and home environment. Friday the 10th is the Lunar Eclipse at 22 deg. of Leo, sparking this very suggestive sabian symbol: A bareback rider in a circus displays her dangerous skill.

The shadow of this Leo Eclipse looms in the arrogant, egoic, “mad king,” me-first energy. We don’t have to look too far to see how we’ve projected this dark god into our current American “leadership.” (Yes, he’s a Mars in Leo, and Leo Rising).  The test now is to let go of our judgements, and invoke our own charismatic leader – if you were in your sexiest, solar brilliance, your most magnetic and innovative creator, serving your community, how would you step into the Full Moon spotlight with this Lunar Eclipse?  Don’t wait—do it this weekend.

This commandment also erupts from the “warrior lovers” Mars and Venus, as they conjoin to strip down into naked, wild, raw Aries passion. YUMMM. But if all the world’s a sexy stage, then we must beware the feisty Aries combustion and rage if not given the freedom to follow its animal instincts. Can we follow our inner solopreneurial mission and our deepest desires without succumbing to reactive separation and unnecessary antagonism?
Here’s a free video preview from my course on Love and Sex Archetypes all about the Aries God and Goddess.

Also, amped by messenger Mercury’s circus flight into wild Aquarius the rest of February, the Jupiter in Libra to Sun in Aquarius air trine inspires tribal kin-nection, facilitating expansion of our creative purpose within our communities. This energy is about saying YES to the opportunities unveiling Now: collaborate, teach, grow with the assistance and reflection of those you party, play, and learn with.

Remember the sabian symbol for this Leo Full Moon: A bareback rider in a circus displays her dangerous skill.

Are you ready to risk it all?
We are ready to bask in awe at your daredevil glow
Celebrate your roar.
We are ready to dance in its echo.
