NEW MOON in LEO
August 8th, 2021
✧
This is the most fiery and dramatic New Moon of the month. We’re all feeling the need to shine and be seen, although it’s not just a need; it’s a burning desire! Leo is the sign of passion, creativity, intensity, and self-expression, but this sign also represents the ego, self-centeredness, and dominance. There are dos and don’ts for this New Moon, so read on to find out more. As a Fixed sign, check out what planets (in your natal chart) fall in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. This is your key to self-mastery this month.
Key qualities of Leo: -
● Leo rules the 5th house of creativity, children, play, drama, and the Arts. You will find yourself wanting to express yourself boldly and brilliantly- you will certainly be wanting the limelight! Drama, tantrums, temperaments, and theatrics are all common, yet so is the ability to truly shine. Show off and share your talents, artistic gifts, and unique abilities because this Leo moon calls for glitz and glamour.
● Ruled by the Sun, Leo is both the sign of the ego and the heart. Leos have humongous hearts, they’re selfless and devoted and extremely generous, kind and giving. They’re benevolent, sincere, and protective of loved ones. They’re also egotistical, overpowering, attention-seeking and bullyish. So, take this as you will… Inner strength is available for access, and how you channel it is up to you.
● Other key qualities include being loyal, passionate, unconditional loving, romantic, expressive, playful, ambitious, affectionate, determined, hard-working and self-initiating (they are natural leaders).
Imagine, Create, Express
It’s time to be bold and let your creativity out to play. Everything associated with the 5th house is lit up during this New Moon. Musical, artistic, imaginative, and creative expression are all ways to access your own intuition, personal power, and multi-talented nature. And, to connect with like-minded souls in your community or tribe! Seek out positive expressions of drama. This means no theatrics, dramatic outbursts, or egotistical displays of domination or arrogance. This is the shadow side of Leo which can come to light.
The best way to make sure the positive aspects of the Leo personality influence your life is to take some time for meditation and self-alignment. Transform selfishness into positive self-centeredness, the art of being centered with healthy boundaries and high self-esteem. Balancing your inner yin (coolness, calmness, peace) with yang (fire, action, dominance) is ideal. There’s a tendency to be so fiery and egocentric that we may unconsciously alienate others or create chaos.
Gentle healing activities like movement, self-expressive dance, yoga, martial arts, meditation and imaginative pathways to the self-do a number of great things. Firstly, they allow you to cool down and embody grace and charm- any healing is a step towards wholeness and harmony. Secondly, they help to ease stress, release tension, and increase positivity within. Energetic channels and pathways open so you can let energy flow, there’s considerable release and transformation involved in dance, movement, mediation, etc.
Take to the Stage
This is literally the time to take to the stage, to be brave and fearless and take your poetry book or guitar on a stage and perform. Performance, speaking, teaching, inspiring through creativity and art, and entertaining others all come under the 5th house. Leo’s energy makes us drawn to the limelight in a magnetic and electric way. There’s both an unexplainable magnetic pull and an electric buzz!
Connect with kindred spirits and people with similar interests and passions. Rekindle a project or start a new highly charged venture with someone you trust, energetically as well as physically. Shared projects favor strongly while joining forces with other inspired and inspirational people are ways to win in life, feel good about yourself, and create abundance and new opportunities for the future. Essentially, be like a lion, bold and courageous with a desire for self-preservation.
Don’t Give In...
Don’t give into lethargy and laziness either. The dual aspect of lions (Leo’s ruling glyph and spirit animal) is that they can happily spend their days lazing around in the sun. Moving for occasional play and food is great, but there’s so much more available for you. Life force, zest, vitality, optimism and a perpetual flow of energy are effortlessly accessible. Money, work, personal, health, and relationship goals and projects can all be energized, and this really is one of the most energetic months of the year. (It’s Leo season as well as a New Moon in Leo.)
Speaking of taking charge and living up to your fullest potential, are there any childhood wounds you’ve left to heal? A New Moon in Leo is the ideal time to heal yourself through action and self-expression. This isn’t like a New Moon in Cancer or Pisces, for example, where you can heal emotional and psychological wounds and pain through introspection and spirituality. Leo is bold, fiery and independent, they take action and “do.” Use your mind, body and spirit to move, let go, heal, energize, understand and release. Play with your senses! Let yourself explore your entire being, from your past to present self, and your future self.
There are many routes back to happiness and health… joy is one of the fastest. Also, consider doing laughter yoga or connecting with children. Anything that lets your inner child roam free leads to victory.
Social Grace and Charm
Finally, just so there’s no confusion as to how much drama and ego displays, we’re bound to see leading up to and after the New Moon in Leo, amp up your personal charm and social grace levels. If you’re not feeling going completely wild and dressing in colors and a free-spirited, bohemian, type of way, aim for class and sophistication. Dress classy, be savvy, and stay cultured. This will naturally align your mind to a specific vibration. We’re more likely to speak mindfully and behave accordingly when we create our physical appearance to a certain ‘standard.’
Anyway, just look at the majestic lions in their natural habitat; they glisten and glow like gold, yet they know their roar can intimidate and frighten beyond belief. To their kin, they are loving, affectionate and playful and seek to create harmony, not destroy. Strive for this.
Blessings, Cecelia
August Horoscopes
Aries
It’s Leo season, and this means high spirits and harmonious energy. You will be focused on the love in your life, or it’s absence! Romance, play, creativity and drama like the Arts are all top things and where your attention is going. You will find joy in the small things, like singing or dancing with friends, attending a yoga or qigong class, or being asked to draw, paint, or sing with someone. Community, friendships, and kindred spirits are on everyone’s minds. Financial flow increases with the more play and well-being activities you feed yourself with too. Abundance can come to you when you’re in sync with your heart and inner spirit, when you’re chasing natural highs and self-expression. Remember the power of your innovative mind and imagination for personal victories.
Taurus
You’re loving the vibrancy of Mother Earth and the magical energies of the Sun, Taurus. When the sun is in fiery and independent Leo, you feel deeply sensual and open to romance. Creativity is expanded through appreciating nature, like listening to the birds and bees, speaking to the trees… you’re aware nature is conscious and sends out subtle vibrations, right? Get in tune with her. Soul resonance arises through organic vibrations this month. New friendships and admirers increase considerably- your light is shining! Personal, professional, romantic, platonic and inspirational relationships can all receive sparks of new energy and vitality, and you will find new connections flowing in abundance. Put yourself out there, transmute or alchemize your sensitivity and usually modest nature into something more social and expressive.
Gemini
All you’ll have on your mind this month is fun and adventure, so there’s no point trying to do anything else. Practical matters will have to wait until 22nd when it’s Virgo season. The current astrological season increases spontaneity, vitality, zest, optimism, creativity, playfulness, courage, and your need for sexual expression. Expression in general. Your mind is alive and energized, you’re craving intellectual and upbeat conversation, in addition to companionship and community. Broadening and expanding your horizons is one of your primary goals. You’re seeking connection in everything you do, from every minor action to the company you keep and connections you make- and in both the daily grind and hustle and longer-term plans. Small shifts this month will lead to greater opportunities later… don’t underestimate the power of your communication skills. Curiosity combined with keen intellect and a sharp, brilliant mind is what will create prosperity and bliss for you.
Cancer
You’re feeling loved up and full of light. Leo’s influence is powerful, and you share the same affinity with love, romance and kinship. You’re searching for new soulmates and kindred spirits in everything and everyone! If you’re single, you will surely meet your match; all you have to do is put yourself out there. If coupled you can expect heightened intimacy and steamy passionate encounters. Creativity, imaginative and musical self-expression, and artistic gifts are all taking center stage in your consciousness, next to romance. Use your strong sexual energies to spark higher consciousness and vice versa… Your life force is so strong that you will probably dream up amazing things, creations, and masterpieces. Access your higher self through daily self-care, meditation, healthy diet, exercise and joyful pursuits. Pleasure leads to co-creation, prosperity, and inner contentment.
Leo
It’s your month Leo, the stars shine for you… which you already know, so keep your ego in check! The duality of this month is that you will be glowing and radiating in victory- you’re confident, charming, self-expressive and totally passionate. You’re also extremely generous and warm this month which makes people gravitate towards you. Yet, there’s also an overwhelming tendency towards drama and theatrics, mainly caused by yourself. Or perpetuated when some peace and cooling down is in divine order. Consciously seek to attune to the light parts of your soul and personality, not the dark ones. Align with your multi-talented nature, let your talents and unique gifts flow. You can inspire others whilst feeling total satisfaction and happiness. Don’t hold back, be bold, and hold yourself in high esteem.
Virgo
You will be having fun this month and connecting with people from your past. New friends and opportunities come into your life while old ones show their faces- embrace it all. It’s a very joyous and positive cycle with lots of laughter, high spirits, and zest. It’s essential that you take care of your health because when the sun enters your own sign on the 22nd, you will want to be in a calm and steady groove. Well-being activities such as yoga, martial arts, dance, self-care, meditation, time in nature, and spiritual healing- holistic therapies and the like- are ideal things to put your time into. Expansive and healing energy lights up the sky, which is perfect for your small detail, analytical, and often narrow-minded nature. Embrace the desire for growth and being part of a larger community.
Libra
Leo’s dominant and vibrant, if somewhat (extremely!) dramatic and egotistical energies are amping up your need for self-expression. You’ll be wanting to share your views and ideas with the rest of the world, and this is what leads to new opportunities, connections, and abundance. Financial windfalls are available when you speak your truth and do it with empathy and compassion. People are responding to vibes and energy this month, so clear your sacral and throat chakras and embody love and light! Musical, artistic, and creative expression are strong, you may find yourself organically involved in a new project based on some special skill set of yours. Don’t close yourself to anything… be open-minded. Finally, take a moment to reflect on your past and who you may need to clear some karmic cords with. Are you still holding onto wrongdoings from years ago?
Scorpio
It’s an intense month but one you dig! Intensity and passion are Leo’s middle names, so when you combine and balance these with your amazing intuition, killer instincts, and natural empathic-watery-caring, you will be shining free for all to see. Find solace in the few relationships that serve a higher purpose, the ones that really get you. And, your artistic and imaginative gifts will be off the chain! People will recognize your wisdom and talents. Be bold and courageous however steer clear of excessive spotlight-seeking- choose a natural vibe instead. Seeking the spotlight and being dramatic may suit fire signs, or others so inclined, but this isn’t your style; stay true to you. Adopt this saying: ‘You do you and I’ma do me!’ This is great because everyone will be craving community and connection whilst simultaneously wanting their own independence.
Sagittarius
Let the good times roll. While the Sun is in fiery, dominant, passionate and willful Leo you will be right in your element. Romance, health, play, creativity, spirituality, passion and adventure are all strong, and you’ll be connecting with LOTS of kindred spirits and friends. You may even be one of the lucky ones blessed to take a travel trip. Keep your mindset sovereign without being too much of a rebel. And, if you’re going to be a total freedom and justice fighting maverick, as we do have a Full Moon in Aquarius, after all; make sure you remain grounded. Give a little, take a little. Do a bit, take a bit. Wisdom, freedom, and justice are on your mind right now and you won’t tolerate BS or illusion. Remember to keep your spiritual health strong and engage in regular self-care, meditation and aura strengthening exercises.
Capricorn
Passion increases and amplifies in your life, and sex, love and intimacy will be on your mind. Embrace your need for fantasy and playfulness, as Leo rules fun, children, creativity, and the Arts. If you’ve got some free time and money, book yourself a festival ticket- be spontaneous too. This isn’t the time to be mega conservative with your self-imposed limits on how much fun you can have; you need joy and excitement to keep your mind, body & spirit healthy. Savings and finances are great, there’s been a few earth-sign practical months already this year, and this dutiful cycle comes round again during Virgo season (August 22nd). Energize the areas of your life you’re lacking in, like fun, play and a deep-seated need for adventure. Pick up a musical instrument or creative hobby once immersed in, but no longer give your all to. Passion and inspiration are everywhere right now… tune into the subtle vibrations of the energetic universe.
Aquarius
Fabulous, truly fabulous! This is a powerful month with love, laughter, and medicine in everything. You will find healing in the simplest of things. Paint, draw, dance, sing, and play musical instruments. Garden, do DIY, cook, get your home in order, and take care of final practical alignments. Go on an adventure, take a nature trek, hike or go to the beach…! There is so much to keep you occupied you won’t be sleeping much, and when you do manage to lay your mind to rest your subconscious mind will be swimming with beautiful memories. Try to balance excitement and passion with calmness and inner peace, however. Family will be on your mind because Leo is deeply community oriented. But, you don’t need to fake anything- if one meeting, get-together or phone call is enough to show your love, do it with gratitude and sincerity. Aim for simplicity to find expansive joy and wonder….
Pisces
It’s another magical month for you, but this time with different energies. Leo’s fiery and highly independent, but passionate and self-expressive nature is putting you in tune with your fierce self-protectiveness and self-assertion. You won’t be tolerating any disrespect, drama, or BS this month. As a sensitive and supremely compassionate water sign, you display this self-love with a unique and admirable type of flair; you’re one of the few people who can say things EXACTLY as they are without offending people. Others want to listen to your wisdom, intuitive guidance, perspectives, beliefs, and personal feelings. They can sense they will be healed and inspired from your natural frequency. Don’t change for anything Pisces, however, do stay adaptable and open to new opportunities and connections. If the world gets too much meander into nature or take your guitar or harmonica and sit among other sensitive animals.
General astrology of August 2021
1. There’s a New Moon in Leo on the 8th, which is perfect for starting a new health or self-care cycle. Daily routines linked to health, well-being and work link to the 5th house, Leo’s astrological domain. Start new things.
2. Then, the Full Moon in Aquarius, 22nd, brings up our need for positive action! Humanitarianism, collective consciousness, world affairs, a connected and unified global society… we’re feeling altruistic and genuinely concerned about the well-being of others and our planet (and animal species). This Full moon equally highlights our analytical and intuitive minds, our ability to think and perceive with innovation, creative genius, and originality.
Many Blessings. Cecelia
Full Moon in Aquarius
Emotional Intelligence, Community & Service
✧
FULL MOON in AQUARIUS
24th July 2021
✧
The Full Moon in Aquarius represents a time of personal change and transitions, and global or collective ones. There is a shift in consciousness available. Just like the ‘Water-Bearer’ who transmutes emotions (water) into higher thought forms and mental gifts (air), we are being guided towards similar abilities. This is the first of a two-month Aquarius Full Moon cycle, so be prepared for sudden changes or unexpected opportunities.
Key qualities of Aquarius: -
● Independent and self-assertive.
● Original, quirky, innovative and inventive.
● Analytical, perceptive, and bright.
● Both logical and intuitive…
● Very intelligent, but emotionally detached and aloof.
● Altruistic and a humanitarian.
Service and pathways to the Higher Self
First and foremost, this Full Moon is about service and aligning with your higher self. Aquarius is an air sign, and this brings hidden or less developed mental aspects to light. If you’re already quite confident in your cerebral powers and are on a professional or creative path that allows you to access a variety of mind associated abilities, now is the perfect time to take an extra leap. Strengthen them even further.
The higher self is also known as the higher mind, and this signifies portals to higher consciousness are available. The focus is on community and the connections you keep that strengthen your sense of mission. Projects will be taking up the majority of your time, and if they’re not you should consciously redirect your energy.
There is much inspiration available over this Full Moon… Zest, excitement and enthusiasm are part of the Aquarius personality set, so you will be feeling motivated and ready to take charge. All aspects of service, helping others (or the planet), charity and humanitarianism will be prominent. This is an excellent cycle if you work for a charity or non-profit, or on a welfare or eco project! If your intentions are pure and honest and you’re striving towards a better world for yourself and others, this is your path at this time. There’s a certain level of freedom and self-sovereignty available in finding your purpose as well. Aim for embodying “lightness,” channel and hold lighter.
Changes, internal shifts & transformation
Ruled by Uranus, the planet of change and transformation in addition to sudden shifts, you have got an opportunity to release, let go and realign. Release what is holding you back, no longer serves a purpose, and is causing more destruction or ill-health than good. This may be a relationship, job, mindset, habit, or anything that keeps you stuck in a negative cycle of existence. Align with what you do want to see in the world. Manifestation powers and the ability to magnetize abundance and bliss to you are amplified.
Uranus is known as the ‘Great Awakener’ and his effects can be catalytic. Evaluate what needs to fade away in your life. Use the gifts of analysis, fine-tuned perception, and a sharp and bright mind to determine truths and information. Remember that Aquarius’ energy is intuitive as well as logical, thus you can use a combination of mental skills for considerable results. Meditate on change and powerful transitions which lead to growth and self-evolution.
Energy healing
Healing is on the horizon! Spirituality, the Healing Arts, wisdom, and revelations relating to quantum physics, holistic well-being, alternative medicine, subtle energy and new inventions combining spirit and science; all of these falls under this Full Moon. Start or reestablish your healing practice. Wake up at a specific time to meditate, do yoga, engage in some gentle martial arts like chi kung (qigong) or aikido, and set some intentions over a glass of lemon water or herbal tea.
Cleaning out your system now whilst merging spiritual practices is the ideal way. Your physical body is one route to health, yet we are mind, body & spirit. An Aquarius Full Moon urges you to elevate your consciousness through well-being practices. Spirit connection. If you have been looking to get into a new professional pathway, think about enrolling in an online course or diploma. Any of the following fields are totally perfect now: Astrology, metaphysics, Reiki, holistic and alternative therapies, relationship counselling, hypnosis, numerology, and anything esoteric or holistic minded.
Aquarius is a revolutionary at heart, so there are many principles you can tune into for self-alignment and personal evolution. Thinking outside the box and getting your innovative,
inventive and genius hat on enables you to find better ways to do things within the relationships and structures in your life. Rigid thinking can be overcome and transcended into open-mindedness, expansiveness, and vision. Idealism is strong. Break free from old habits, intend freedom, and shift internally towards inspiration.
Be Mindful of Emotional Aloofness
Due to the nature of wishing to shift emotions and feelings into higher realms of mind and consciousness, it may be easy to fall into the shadow side of Aquarius through repression instead of transmutation. In your desire for raising up the emotional-watery energies you may unconsciously suppress or restrict your own capacity for feeling. This can be helped with artistic and imaginative expression, musical activities such as listening to, dancing to, or playing music, and movement that allows you to release and heal emotions.
Seek out conscious connections that will help to introduce you to new and exciting pathways of community. Surrounding yourself with a few close bonds that provide a shared feeling of resonance, of brotherhood or sisterhood, instantly aligns you with a level of emotional familiarity. This then provides the confidence and clarity you need for success, in whatever you put your mind to!
Many Blessings, Cecelia
New Moon in CANCER:
Intimacy, New Projects & Nurturing Dreams
✧
NEW MOON in Cancer
July 10th 2021: 9:16 pm EST
✧
July’s New Moon occurs in the nurturer and caregiver of the Zodiac, Cancer. But Cancer is not all compassion and unconditional love (although they are one of the most loyal, loving and devoted signs!). Cancer ‘the Crab’ is also amazingly gifted in the artistic, imaginative, and creative realms… This sensitive star sign is a cardinal sign, meaning they possess considerable power and initiatory force to make change. Combined with extraordinary psychic and intuitive abilities, a well advanced imagination, and a genuine desire to heal and care for others through their evolved emotional intelligence, this New Moon has many significant themes.
Remember that new and full moons influence us the most based on the planets that fall in four signs. As this moon happens in cardinal Cancer, look up your birth chart to see which planets you have in Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. This is what will be brought to light for you.
Cancer Key qualities:-
● Caring, nurturing, supportive and protective.
● Emotionally intelligent, wise and self-aware.
● Intuitive with deep instincts- plus connected to subconscious forces.
● Imaginative, creative and artistically talented.
● Psychic, clairvoyant and in tune with dreams.
● Passionate, intense, self-expressive and family-oriented.
Intimacy in relationships
First and foremost, this New Moon is all about the intimate and personal relationships in our lives. We’re feeling a deeper pull towards intimacy, authenticity and honesty in our close bonds. If there have previously been imbalance or distortions we’re wanting to heal, find wholeness and clear them up at this time. Cancer is ruled by the 4th house of home, roots, physical foundations relating to security and emotional stability, and the mother. The mother can be both your own mother and the role she’s played in your life, or the mother as an archetype- maternal instincts, in other words. Ruled by the Moon, Cancer is deeply instinctive, emotional, intuitive, psychic, clairvoyant, and feeling based. The Moon rules the realm of inner currents, moods, emotions and so forth.
So, take some time for introspection and ‘yin’ activities to align with your soul self. In a chaotic and often illusion-ridden society, there is a lot of confusion and distortion, delusion and false beliefs & perceptions. We become unconsciously and unknowing tied to faulty belief systems and the karmic and ancestral wounds and trauma of our pasts. Family upbringing too. We must therefore unravel the mysteries and illusions to get to the root of truth, to the core and essence. This is our souls closely linked to our psyches.
It’s true, the psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual planes are equally as important in daily life (and in the grand scheme of things); we are human beings having a spiritual experience, or spiritual creatures having a human experience! Yet, the soul is the core that lies beneath and beyond all of these other “bodies,” these layers of existence. When was the last time you slowed down and disconnected from social media, the media, or the storytelling narrative from others? Go within to go without. Listen to your soul, psyche and innermost self. You can do this by…
Strengthening intuition and psychic & intuitive gifts
Strengthen your intuition and psychic gifts which are ‘muscles’ in their own right. There are many ways you can do this, like:-
● Through meditation, crystal healing, yoga and martial arts (the latter two increase energy and chi flow leading to psychic development and awareness).
● Practicing healthy self-care and self-love. Nurture your body, mind & spirit. Treat yourself with loving kindness and use the tools of aromatherapy, sound therapy, and self-healing to move trapped energy (and thus consciousness) for flow and alignment.
● Using binaural beats and isochronic tones to stimulate clairvoyant and intuitive gifts, through the effect they have on brainwave activity.
● Doing a conscious fast or detox. Fasting for spiritual purposes has a range of beneficial effects with the main one being activating consciousness and dormant DNA. ‘Cleanse,’ ‘detox,’ and ‘purify...’
● Taking a ‘Healing Art’ course, workshop or online masterclass. Energy healing and holistic therapy is a great way to strengthen your psychic muscle, so consider looking into local Reiki Masters, shamanic practitioners, or sound therapists/practitioners.
Creativity and the imagination
Of course, Cancer rules the imagination and the subconscious mind which implies there will be access to universal archetypes and hidden memories at this time. Firstly, use the energies of this lunar cycle to expand and develop creative projects. Whether they’re professional or personal, birthed from some visionary or bigger purpose intention or something that helps to pay your bills while expanding your creativity, you can pick up on projects once forgotten. Projects that may have taken a backburner months or years ago can be restarted, and you will see significant progress. Sparks of inspiration and creative genius come to you under the light of the Cancer New Moon, so make the most of it. Don’t waste this magical portal to higher conscious insight, awareness, consciousness and self-realization.
And, your imagination will be off the chain. Practice your musical skills with your chosen instrument; strengthen your voice through singing or doing OM chanting; draw, paint, make art or engage in photography for pleasure and inspiration; express yourself as freely and innocently as your inner child would want you to. Cancer is linked to our inner childs due to the connection to roots and family. Childhood memories can assist you in regaining access to the hidden aspects of yourself, purely in terms of creativity and the imagination, thus get out old pictures or diaries for a memory rejog. This sensitive and nostalgic water sign also has strengths of sentimentality and evolved emotional intelligence. You can use empathy and emotional wisdom to guide you in any artistic project or creative outlet you may be feeling inspired to pursue.
Dreams… instincts…. Deeper realms
Finally, you can use this moon to explore your more mystical and spiritual side. Dreams come under the Cancer sign, and dreams are a portal or gateway to your subconscious mind and self and deeper levels of your psyche. Conscious dreamers actively engage in astral travel and projection, lucid dreaming, and other advanced dream techniques such as is seen in shamanic dreaming to receive wisdom and guidance through the dream worlds. Instincts become more powerful through working with your dreams, as does your intuition and ability to perceive subtle energy.
Remember that Cancer is a yin, emotional and feminine sign. Well, feminine wisdom is powerful! Tune into the unlimited potential of the “unseen,” “invisible,” and “extrasensory” realms and dimensions. There is much more than the solely physical reality we often reside in.
Many Blessings. Cecelia
Aries
July starts off with the Moon in your own sign, Aries, for 3 days. Use this portal wisely! The Sun is in Cancer until the 22nd and there’s also a New Moon in Cancer on the 10th. Cancer is considered your “enemy” in astrology terms, so be mindful of your emotions and vulnerabilities this month. Cancer’s energy makes us all feel more sensitive, sentimental, and in touch with our home and family life- our ‘roots’ and need for security. But does this conflict with your warrior-like, self-leading stance? You can use Cancer season for powerful self-reflection and to re-align and adjust. Spend time in contemplation, rest and meditation reminding yourself of your soul. Your soul is the focal point, and it is from here where sparks of wisdom into your passions, purpose, past, future, talents and true self lie and originate. After the 22nd the Sun is in compatible and fiery Leo, and there’s a Full Moon in harmonious Aquarius (24th). Feel free to shine.
Taurus
Cancer season is taking over our lives until the 22nd. Taurus and Cancer measure high up on the compatibility scale, so this is a wonderful month for love, romance, and getting clear on your goals and soulful dreams. Ruled by the Moon, Cancer’s energies allow you to access your subconscious mind and your imagination. What can you create this July, Taurus? Make sure you take time to meditate and align with your Higher Self, the seat of your soul, inner spirit, and “vision.” There is a practical magic and wisdom available this month, therefore tap into the infinite and unlimited source of potential and possibilities the universe has to offer. Connect with nature, the great Mother (earth), to help harmonize your mind and emotions with your body and spirit… Nature and a return to simplicity will rejuvenate your senses, alleviate any low moods or pessimistic mindsets, and restore confidence in your own abilities.
Gemini
Gemini, it’s a mellow but equally blissful month for you. You have settled into a balanced and harmonious groove, and Cancer season shifts your focus towards home, family life, and introspective activities. You should consider pouring any and all spare time into a creative and artistic project. Get your imaginative juices flowing! The Sun in Cancer hi-lights your need for security and close bonds, but it is also making you pay more attention to your dreams and the subconscious messages contained. Do you possess a dream journal? Now is a great time to start one. Work, finances and personal passion or creative projects can reach a wonderful synergy with the emotional and psychosocial connections you crave on the home front. Use the watery-empathic, magnetic and feminine energy available to you to energize and amplify projects, goals, and aspirations… Listen to your intuition too.
Cancer
This is the best month of the year for you, Cancer. When the Sun is in your own sign you feel dreamier and freer to be yourself. Your spiritual gifts, empathy, and psychic abilities are off the chain! There is a lightness in your step and demeanour without compromising on your deep, emotionally sensitive, and beautifully soulful nature. Art, creativity, and imaginative self-expression favour strongly for you, as do taking care of your physical health and body. Your physical body is a vessel, it’s a channel for divinity to flow through- and you know this better than most people. Tune into the ethereal ad mystical realms where subconscious insights are rich. Universal archetypes, genius ideas, brilliant revelations, and key insights into your future and soul’s plan can come to you know. Thank Lunar, the Moon, and place an amethyst crystal under your pillow at night to enhance dreaming. “Practical magic” is your buzzword this month.
Leo
Cancer season is energizing your home and family life, Leo. If you have children or you’re a primary or dual provider, expect to be very busy! Your secret to satisfaction this month is to treat life like a game, as if you’ve chosen to be so busy with errands, practical duties and providing for others. Try to stay present and mindful so you don’t let negativity or bad energy in- there are jewels and gems even in the most mundane tasks. So, either see your business as a perpetual get fit challenge, a way to be healthy and get your blood flowing or turn inwards. Cancer is one of the most reflective, introspective, and dreamy signs. Cancer is ruled by the planet of feelings and emotions, ‘roots’ and our need for security, and the subconscious mind: the Moon. Tackle daily chores with a sentimental and gentle approach, if you can. Be considerate and know that sensitivities are heightened… This is a great window for healing, self-evolution, and personal growth specifically with regards to emotional intelligence and the way you handle the hard or stressful times. If you’re retired or living life in bliss, reflect on your past. Appreciate friends & family and send gratitude out into the ether, into the universe.
Virgo
You might be quite busy this month, yet you’re also feeling very in control of yourself and your life. This is a good month for you overall, Cancer’s energies are helping you to feel stress-free and more appreciative of friends and family. Cancer rules the 4th house of home, roots, security, family and emotions & feelings, your inner world. The Moon is Cancer’s ruling planet, and this is providing an opportunity to connect with your imaginative and subconscious self. Dreams, introspection, reading, movies, light house work, gardening, and activities that bring you a “mellow joy” and peace simultaneously are all favoured. What excites your soul while calming you at the same time? Focus on this and do more of it!
Libra
Dare to dream, Libra…? Cancer isn’t generally too compatible with you, however one thing you can appreciate is this sensitive and empathic water sign’s love of imagination and creativity. Cancer is a nurture and caregiver yet is also a creative genius with many artistic and imaginative gifts. Tune into these collective themes this month. Also, make the most of the laid-back and dreamy vibes- energize your long-term goals & plans projects and business model. Seek to strengthen your career or 7 year plan, or add a touch of magnetism and feminine energy to your professional pursuits. One other thing you can certainly draw from Cancer’s influence is their supremely compassionate, empathic, and psychically gifted nature. Feminine energy is receptive and gentle and this is naturally in synergy with your own peace loving ways. So long as you can focus and direct your energy, you should have a blissful and productive month. Use the Aquarius Full Moon to take passion projects to the next level.
Scorpio
Wow, what a month Scorpio. You’re feeling centred, reflective, dreamy, incredibly intuitive and spiritual. All of your senses, gifts, and soul talents are heightened and you’re embodying a fine balance of going with the flow and chasing your dreams. There is a green light from the universe to share your beliefs and viewpoints, wisdom and knowledge with others, and to access the full potential of the unique musical, artistic and spiritual abilities you secretly possess. Cancer rules everything internal, hidden feelings, emotions, the unseen realms, the subconscious mind and the imagination… and you’re naturally compatible! This means your best and most brilliant qualities are brought to light. You may find your resources getting an amp, or you could very well receive an expected windfall, sufficient gift of money or jewels, or a top end high paying new client. Self-esteem is high while your inner light & divinity is shining. Find a balance between wanting to show your gifts and wisdom to the world and keeping some to yourself. Cancer is a feminine and introspective sign, after all…
Sagittarius
This is a month to lay low and focus on close relationships. Cancer rules the 4th house, the astrological house of home, ‘roots’ and physical foundations relating to security, and your needs for comfort and emotional connection. You tend to be superficial Sag, and this is due to being so carefree, restless, and free-spirited. Channelling your energy into multiple projects (and relationships?!) leaves you lacking the depth and sincerity often needed in life. Use July’s cosmic themes to work on healing your past. Introspection is called for, you can reflect on your childhood and emotional issues left unresolved. Get out your dream diary or start to work more closely and consciously with your dreams. There is a sweet, sensual, spiritual soulful and subtle energy available to you, which can transform your life in many powerful ways… Learn from your water sign friends- Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces; reflect on their words, energy & essence, actions and life choices to shine a light onto what you need to be embodying more of. Balance and integration can be found.
Capricorn
It’s Cancer season, your ‘opposite’ sign in astrology and therefore the sign you should be aiming to find most balance with. Cancer is spiritual, extremely compassionate, intuitive and instinctive. They’re psychically and imaginatively gifted and are equally known as the “empaths” of the Zodiac. Get in tune with your emotions this month. Look towards your past- your childhood and upbringing and seek to resolve any lingering wounds or insecurities surrounding home and your mother. Once you’ve done this, channel all of your energy into work and creative projects as there’s a lot of “practical magic” and ethereal, esoteric and spiritual wisdom in the air… do you feel balanced? Check in on your mind, body, spirit, emotions and soul because you are a holistic being. This is more of a month to do what you enjoy and brings your excitement and passion levels up, and to realign and introspect. Redirect your focus towards your spirit and long-term soulful aspirations. You will find emotional and psychological satisfaction here.
Aquarius
Until the 22nd, you may want to do one of two things. Either lay low and find ways to enjoy your own company: garden, tend to domestic and daily chores, express yourself through music and art, or meditate and go within. Or surround yourself with what you know, with people and friends who already see and get you. Cancer season is amplifying your need for security and connection, including protection, to the max! Friends and loved ones who make you laugh and who you’re already totally comfortable around can be a safe haven for you. But if it’s a choice between ‘the new’ and going solo, choose yourself. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, the planet of emotions, inner feelings and the subconscious mind, and by the 4th house- the house of family and our needs for security and belonging. You may be feeling surprisingly sensitive all month! Yet, Cancer is incredibly creative and imaginative, so there is a doorway of potential awaiting you. Everything becomes clearer from the 22nd.
Pisces
Cancer season brings a beautiful synergy and harmony into your love, personal, career and spiritual life. Cancer is one of your soulmates of the Zodiac, so when the Sun is in this sweet and dreamy sign your God-given gifts soar! You and Cancer share many fabulous traits: intuition, psychic ability and clairvoyance, a profound imagination, creative and artistic genius, unlimited compassion and empathy… Stick with what you know and already comes naturally to you, but also work on strengthening and expanding it. Being ruled by the Moon and the 4th house, this cycle puts you in touch with your emotional and spiritual needs, your own “inner mother” and caregiver, provider, or protector. And, you’re seeking security and familiarity- even within a need for excitement and adventure. The world is one with you Pisces, therefore don’t let childhood fears or insecurities diminish your light. There is nothing to fear when living from your heart and Higher Self; whether you choose to stay closer to home or venture out, be the magical, intuitive, and unconditionally loving mermaid or merman that you are. Abundance and blessings are on their way.
General Astrology for July:
l. It’s Cancer season with a New Moon in Cancer on the 10th. Cosmic themes: home and security, roots, self-protection, imaginative self-expression, spiritual and psychic gifts, tapping into our instincts and intuition, and issues surrounding childhood and the mother. Lunar’s energy can help you for healing from the past and creating and envisioning a bright future, as Cancer is ruled by the Moon.
2. The Full Moon in Aquarius on the 24th is great for anyone with some spice and zest in their step. Aquarius is a humanitarian, dreamer, visionary, idealist and wise intuitive all in one. Find ways to expand your social and professional circle while working on individual gifts and talents. Dream big- don’t play it small or be too concerned with illusions and outdated patterns of thinking. Be a conscious maverick!
Blessings, Cecelia
FULL Moon in CAPRICORN:
Ambition, Prosperity, and Flying High!
✧
FULL MOON in Capricorn
June 24th 2021: time 2:40 pm EDT
✧
This June’s Full Moon occurs in grounded, totally responsible, and success-oriented Capricorn. Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, the planet of structure and duties in the real world also known as the ‘Lord of Karma.’ But this moon isn’t just influenced by Capricorn’s ruling planet. Jupiter plays a large part and Mars, the planet of action, will and passion, has just entered Leo. There is a lot of passion and vitality available to see your goals and aspirations realized.
This lunar cycle is affecting people the most with planets in the cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, at 0 to 8 degrees. (So, if you have Libra in Jupiter at 5 degrees you can look up or refamiliarize yourself with the meaning and essence of Libra in Jupiter.)
Capricorn Key qualities: -
● Hard-working, conscientious, and ambitious.
● Practical, responsible, dutiful and high-flying.
● Achievement and success focused.
● Wise, modest, and discerning.
● Sweet, generous, sensitive and kind.
● Creative and artistic in a grounded, down-to-earth, way.
Responsibility and Success
First and foremost, this Full Moon is all about responsibility and accountability, and success and achievement. Capricorn is the highest expression of material and physical success on the earth plane. People with a lot of Capricorn in their natal chart are ambitious, aspirational, motivated and determined individuals who want to achieve fame, success, recognition, prosperity, and the like. While other Full Moons may ask us to get in tune with our emotions or spiritual selves, a Full Moon in Capricorn directs us towards our place in society. Essentially, the message is to take your talents, diplomas and qualifications, experience and expert wisdom, and transform it into something that will bring you a prosperous and happy life.
No matter the motivations, “success” and “achievement” have many positive applications. You may want to chase money or fame to create a better life for your family, to live the dream life on a paradise island, to help charities and animals, or to devote your fortune to helping the planet in some way, or investing it in a business. The key lies in the power of your intentions, and how much work and effort you’re willing to put in. Please don’t get things twisted: this is the perfect time to go all in, to put your serious hat on and to channel your wisdom, passion, and knowledge into a strong foundation. Dream big and reach for the stars...
Emotions VS Ambitions
The Full Moon is also occurring with a direct opposition, the Sun in Cancer. Cancer and Capricorn are opposite each other in the zodiac, and this signifies a call for balance. Not only will you be feeling more ambitious and determined than usual, but you will be wanting greater comfort and security in personal relationships, in your emotional life. Cancer Sun brings the element of “practical magic,” Cancer is mystical, spiritual, psychic, deeply intuitive and imaginative. You can use any extrasensory or psychic-intuitive gifts and your imaginative powers to literally dream your world into being. You can channel the emotional satisfaction and fulfillment you feel in your home, family and personal life into seeing success and accomplishment in your career.
In other words, private and domestic life- including the joys and pleasures you receive on the home front- can be balanced and merged with your social and professional world. Use your emotions and powerful instincts to fuel your creative and professional fire! One of the main benefits of learning about astrology and its inherent wisdom is to find balance and harmony. With a Cancer Sun- Capricorn Moon opposition this is very attainable.
Maturity with self-reflection
Saturn is all about maturity and growing up. Yet, due to the Cancer Sun opposition you will also be feeling a pull towards your childhood and home life, past and current. This is a wonderful window to reflect and look towards your past to help expand and progress your career, and anything else that needs healing or fine-tuning. Cancer is the origin and Capricorn is the goal; family and emotions (Cancer) manifests as maturity and responsibility in other areas, like public life and social standing (Capricorn). Vice versa.
If you are not feeling like energizing and working on your work or career at this time, for whatever reason, you can make the most of the Full Moon by turning your attention to family commitments. Duties and practical wisdom linked to your family and home increase emotional maturity and intelligence. This then in itself helps to ramp up your professional drive! Emotional maturity and strength to professional maturity and responsibility... Roots to direction and motivation... Inner world, feelings, and emotions to outer world... Hopefully you get the picture.
Jupiter’s influence: Prosperity, luck & expansion
Everything just shared is given an even bigger dose of practical magic and energy with Jupiter’s touch. Jupiter is sextile the Capricorn moon which means positive and harmonious flow. Powerful currents of optimism, energy, passion, vitality and expansive luck are illuminating the qualities and characteristics of Capricorn, so you can tune into Jupiter’s magic (celestial and ethereal aura/essence/energy) for positive manifestation. Abundance, luck and prosperity can be yours if you put in sufficient time and dedication. Capricorn is still a grounded earth sign after all, thus abundance won’t just come to you in an “out of the blue '' type of way, like with Neptune ruled water sign Pisces!
Other themes of this moon include spirituality, generosity, honesty, wisdom, purity of mind and thought, purpose and idealistic and visionary tendencies.
Many Blessings, Cecelia
New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini:
Self-Expression and the Higher Mind...
✧
NEW MOON (+ SOLAR ECLIPSE) in GEMINI
10th June 2021: 6:53 am EST
✧
We’ve not long had a Lunar Eclipse in fiery, independent and visionary Sagittarius; well, now it’s a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sag’s opposite, Gemini. This Solar Eclipse will affect people with planets in the mutable signs most: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces, at 15 to 25 degrees. You should look to your natal chart (birth chart) to refamiliarize yourself with your influencing planetary factors, specifically with this degree bracket. Any planets which lie in these four signs will provide key insight into what is being lit up and highlighted for you at the time of this powerful New Moon.
Key qualities to be aware of: -
● Gemini is a dual sign also known as ‘the Twins.’ Gemini is intelligent, witty, perceptive and inquisitive. This air sign loves to interact with the world through the sharing of ideas and information.
● Gemini is associated with the mind and the planet Mercury, the Messenger planet of communication. They’re colorful, bright, and self-expressive individuals and are also connected to their inner child.
● A New Moon is a time of new beginnings, fresh starts and new perspectives. When coupled with a Solar Eclipse, the focus turns towards how we interact with the world, our external realities.
Self-expression is key.
Express yourself! This month’s Moon and Solar Eclipse is all about self-expression, letting love, light, and insight flow. You may choose to do this through music, art, imaginative activities, poetry, dance, arts & crafts, or any other creative or imaginative outlet. Movement is highly favored too. Our inner child’s come to light during a Gemini New Moon. Combined with a Solar
Eclipse which brings a celestial and cosmic vibration, we will all be wanting to play and let loose. Creativity favors strongly now.
Go outside and play. Connect with lovers and friends, community ties and kindred spirits. Have fun and let life force energy flow, as this will help you in other areas. It’s important that you reconnect with nature and your innocence this month, especially if you wish to advance in business, finances or career. Balance is a key theme because this Solar Eclipse occurs on the Gemini-Sagittarius axis (more on this later).
Open up… communicate.
Linked to the above is the innate pull we will all have to express our truth and share our feelings. Emotions, beliefs, philosophies, and internal impressions all want to come out at the time of the New Moon Solar Eclipse. Gemini is one of the most communicative and expressive star signs, yet they are also one of the most emotionally blocked (imbalanced, limited…). This is due to Gemini being an air sign and predominantly mind-based or mental. Unlike emotional or instinctive signs, Gemini thinks and then thinks some more. There is a slight lack of instinct and emotional intelligence- and emotional vulnerability- however this New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse. Eclipses are potent portals to the higher self.
Find ways to express your truth. Open up to people closest to you- don’t be afraid of being vulnerable or honest and authentic. Releasing and healing is essential now, as there is great opportunity for release and self-evolution. Embody Sagittarius’ courage and fierce bravery and remember that all Eclipses bring the energy of spiritual alignment. Spirit is all-encompassing, omniscient, benevolent, and unconditionally loving.
A adjust your attitude.
A shadow trait of Gemini is that they can be very deceiving and manipulative. One of the “lower” characteristics of the dual Twins is that they like to engage in gossip. Gemini can receive a kickoff of spreading mistruths and false information! Their mind thrives from stimulation which leaves them steering towards superficiality, deception, and manipulation- ‘mind games’ in other words. You need to be careful of what you say and how you say it, and your intentions when communicating and interacting with others.
The best thing you could do is to take some time for meditation and introspection. Align yourself so your mind does not rule you. We have a higher mind and a lower mind, of course; a higher self as explored in my last blog about Sagittarius (the Lunar Eclipse on May 26th). This Eclipse season occurring over two consecutive months lights up the Gemini-Sagittarius axis. Gemini and Sagittarius are opposites, they are directly opposite each other in the Zodiac wheel. This is a call for balance. Inner harmony. Balancing internal polarities and eclectic mixes of energies for unification and wholeness.
The mind is largely in focus at this time; thus, you will be receiving guidance on what you can do to adjust your attitude and realign your mindset. Try your best to stay positive. But be mindful of the opportunity presented for shifting and significant transformation… A Solar Eclipse in Gemini presents wonderful opportunities for realizing where you have been giving into gossip, manipulation, deception, self-denial, and other lower traits associated with the mind and ego. You want to aim for something higher, something more honest, integral, and pure, therefore consider spending some time connecting to planet Jupiter and the positive qualities of Sagittarius. Refer to the previous post for clarity on this!
Expand your mind and consciousness.
And, linked to this are keyways to open your mind and expand your consciousness. One natural way of transcending the lower mind is to turn your attention to the higher mind, what expands and evolves your consciousness? Ask yourself this and then take steps towards a new way and a new path. Read more books, watch more documentaries, and learn about quantum physics, astrology and numerology, or metaphysics. Discover the consciousness expanding avenues of holistic and alternative health, herbal medicine and wisdom, and the Healing Arts, like Reiki, energy healing and shamanism. There is so much inspiration, insight and wonder available in this world. The mind is a tool.
Gemini knows more than many. Gemini sign is extremely curious and inquisitive. They love learning about a range of subjects and topics, so find ways to channel your inner curiosity and desires for self-realization into mind-expanding and consciousness-raising pursuits. Think in terms of holism, spirituality, higher philosophy and wisdom, and anything considered “alternative” or “esoteric.” By opening yourself up to the beauty, magic, and magnificence of the subtle-spiritual and energetic universe, you will organically rev up your vibe and further navigate away from the egotistical and deceptive ways of the lower mind.
Blessings, Cecelia
June Horoscopes
Aries
June is an excellent month for you, Aries. The Sun is in Gemini until the 20th, but there is also a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini (10th) and a fiery Full Moon in compatible Sagittarius (24th). You will be feeling on top of your world, in control of your life, and incredibly positive. Regardless of where you choose to direct your energy, you will have success. Try to keep to a modest and humble attitude for the best victories, however. So much cerebral (Gemini) energy can make you be even more impulsive than you usually are! And with impulsion comes impatience, aggression, and superficiality. If you can stay positive, graceful, and pure in your words, actions, and speech you will see great financial and spiritual rewards. Health and finances are looking good and coupled Aries will find many steamy and sensual moments to share with a lover or soulmate.
Taurus
Quite simply, you love the optimistic and excitable energy of a Gemini sun, although you can get a bit confused sometimes. It’s Gemini season until the 20th which is making you very playful and flirty. You’re seeking fun and inspiration at this time, yet you’re still grounded and committed to your goals and personal projects. The ‘confused’ aspect comes from the fact that you are not entirely compatible. Gemini is cerebral, mental, and slightly superficial. You are emotionally intelligent, instinctive, and deep. You navigate life through a combination of psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual processes while Gemini can be detached and cut off from their feelings. The current astrological cycle (season) influences all of us… So, be mindful of the attraction and passion you feel without compromising your key qualities and strengths. This is the route to success in any aspect of life you wish to energize this June.
Gemini
It’s your birthday month, Gemini! June is a great month for you and there is so much to be positive about. There is a New Moon in your own sign combined with a Solar Eclipse, on the 10th. And there is a fiery Sagittarius Full Moon on the 24th- powerful stuff! Stay committed to your passions and goals this June. Find ways to expand your services, career or talents and don’t be shy of going after what you want. New opportunities will come to you now if you learn to connect to the positive qualities of your sign, without falling into the shadow traits. As a Gemini, you have a tendency to be superficial, manipulative (consciously or unconsciously) and impulsive. Yet you’re also perceptive, mentally gifted, analytical and intuitive. Be mindful of your communication style and the way you interact with others, as this is the foundation of your success or failure.
Cancer
You’re feeling quite reflective this month, Cancer. This is due to the Sun being in Gemini until the 20th. A Gemini sun can be chaotic for you- Gemini is a cerebral and extroverted air sign while you are an emotional and introverted water sign. So much air energy leaves you slightly out of sorts. However, being aware of this means you can put your focus into personal projects and self-care. You can see real advancements in your health and finances this June if you dedicate your time and energy to yourself, your personal life, and private projects and ambitions. Overall it’s a great month because the Sun then enters your own sign on the 21st. Hooray! See the 1st- 20th as a time of preparation and setting the tone- creating the foundation- for more harmonious and vibrant times ahead. Take care of your practical and real-world responsibilities so when your birthday season hits you will be feeling refreshed and inspired. Creative ventures are excellent from the 21st.
Leo
It’s Gemini season, a sign deeply compatible with yourself. There is so much cerebral, optimistic, and fiery energy in the air this month you don’t really know where to turn! Create a set plan and focus early on, preferably on the 1st or 2nd. There is a Gemini New Moon and Solar Eclipse on the 10th and a Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 24th. Combined with the fact May saw a Lunar Eclipse (in fire sign Sag) and you share a deep resonance with both Gemini and Sagittarius, there is immense inspiration and energy this month. Dedicate your time to health, finances, projects, and self-care. Seek to expand any area of your life that needs a ‘boost’ while making sufficient time for rest. You must continuously recharge your energy in order to continue on your path and with your goals. Artistic, creative and academic projects and pathways are excellent things to give your time to this June. Romance, children, family and domestic affairs are equally looking strong. Count your blessings because this is one of the best months of the year for you!
Virgo
The Sun is travelling through Gemini until the 20th. Considering you and Gemini are both ruled by the same planet, this means positive growth and personal and professional expansion. Woo! This is a great month if you knuckle down and complete the tasks at hand. Messenger planet Mercury is influencing you all month- you should direct all your attention to work, finances and domestic affairs. Tend to the practical and things you know best, because the 21st onwards is Cancer season which will be much more relaxed and pleasurable for you. Until the 21st, use your mental abilities and sound analytical powers to see results, create waves, and improve your finances and professional foundation. If you’re currently studying or taking a course online this is an amazing cycle to take things to the next level. The same is true if you’re a freelancer or have your own business. Then the fiery and ‘aim high’ Sagittarius Full Moon on the 24th is allowing you to be more visionary and big picture thinking. Go with it.
Libra
It’s an air month Libra and you’re digging the vibes. The Sun is in Gemini until the 20th, there’s also a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini on the 10th followed by a Sagittarius Full Moon on the 24th. This is clearly a month for air and fire signs! There is a lot of compatible and harmonious energy in the air which is making you feel powerful, self-aligned, and productive. Focus on creative, artistic, and educational projects and outlets at this time. You can get a lot done and feel even more inspired by the time July hits, a time to go within and connect with your inner source of strength including dreams and the imagination. See June as a precursor to the social connections and opportunities that arise soon; tie loose knots, finish projects and current cycles- both personal and professional or academic and find solace in the practical details. All the cerebral air energy is pushing you towards honoring your analytical and ‘Mercury inspired’ powers...
Scorpio
Lay low and express yourself as musically and artistically as you desire. The Gemini sun is highlighting your need for creation and imaginative channels and outlets. You’re feeling inspired to go within and focus on your own talents, gifts and intuitive abilities which further lead to co-creation and profound divine, spiritual or imaginative insights! If you’re an aspiring musician, writer, author or creative of any kind, this is a great month. Gemini is a cerebral and mentally gifted air sign, but in addition to key skills in analysis and logic there is also a lot of intuitive and artistic energy present. Combined with a powerful Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 24th, and a New Moon Solar Eclipse in, you guessed it, Gemini on the 10th- visionary vibes are amplified all month. Stay cool but don’t play it safe. Dream big and reach for the stars… any groundwork you create this month sets the stage for much opportunity and heartwarmingly inspiring connections in July.
Sagittarius
A month made for you Sag, June sees a Full Moon in your sign on the 24th and a New Moon Solar Eclipse in compatible Gemini on the 10th. Go with the flow and enjoy the ride! Be your bold, wise and bright self. Gemini’s influence is amplifying your cerebral and intuitive gifts all month until the 21st. Then, the fiery full moon arrives in Sagittarius during Cancer season, with Cancer being an imaginative and receptive water sign. Use this combo to your advantage. Visionary qualities are expanded, and you will be feeling like all is possible, despite illusions and external circumstances or perceived limitations. Realize that restrictions are an illusion of the matrix and ‘made-made’ society. Connect to the power of your mind and your own self-sovereignty because this is where victory and self-evolution lies. If you’re already at the pinnacle of your professional or personal life, practice gratitude and continue on the journey. Positive energy births good karma….
Capricorn
Stay strong this month Capricorn. It’s important that you keep your focus and do what you need to do practically. The fun vibes will hit next month! June is influenced by Mercury, the ‘messenger’ planet of communication (it’s Gemini season). This means, until the 21st you will be feeling slightly stressed or at least the pressure of all your responsibilities and duties. Fortunately, this pressure allows you to make considerable advancements in study and education, finances and career and build character. Cancer season is when you can really start to enjoy the fruits of your labor and there’s further a Sagittarius Full Moon on the 24th. Make the most of it as your visionary qualities are lit up. Romance is favored from the 21st onwards.
Aquarius
The Gemini New Moon coupled with a Solar Eclipse aligns you with your Higher Self and cerebral gifts. You’re feeling more intuitive, analytical and perspective than usual, yet more in tune with the divine and sublime too. Eclipses are a wonderful opportunity to expand talents, wisdom, and self-knowledge and to reconnect with your spiritual source of power. As the ‘water-bearer,’ you naturally have that visionary and spiritual link- you’re intuitive with some psychic abilities. And you’re imaginative, well- so is Gemini! Feel free to not worry about practical and financial concerns this month. Give your time and attention to anything that enhances your sense of self and skillset; liberation should be your key goal this June. Remember to engage in holistic movements and healthy eating as well… Aim for joy and genuine pleasure (with regards to movement and exercise), not superficial or purely physical intentions.
Pisces
Let love flow and expand in your life. There is an easy energy about June you can appreciate. The birds are signing, the sun is shining, and you’re on top of your finances. Enjoy life and all it’s simple pleasures! Spend time in nature with your journal, tarot cards and crystals; read a book against a strong and mighty tree and find moments of shared humanity with fellow kindred spirits. Don’t worry about the past or the future, as the past you cannot change, and life begins in the present moment. The Gemini Sun is reminding you of what it means to be carefree and happy, truly stress-free and in tune with your inner child. Yet, you have years of maturity and timeless wisdom which are keeping you grounded and level-headed. Try not to fall into past wounds and childhood insecurities. Keep to your plan of action and hold your long-term vision in mind. This is a beautiful month with lots of chances for creative, imaginative, and psychic self-development.
General Astrology for June:
l. A Gemini New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs on the 10th- think celestial vibrations merged with highly charged imaginative and intuitive gifts. New beginnings in the way you interact with the world are in store, and an Eclipse is always symbolic of some sort of personal awakening.
2. There is a Full Moon in Sagittarius, the Archer who reaches towards the stars, on the 24th; a time for tapping into our visionary qualities and creative life force. Pay attention to dreams and subconscious messages at this time.
3. The Sun enters receptive, empathic, and creative Cancer on the 21st. The end of the month is excellent for slowing down and connecting with our true selves, emotions, and imaginative gifts.
Blessings, Cecelia
LUNAR ECLIPSE in SAGITTARIUS:
Significant Transformation, Visionary Self-Alignment
✧
LUNAR ECLIPSE in Sagittarius
26th May 2021: 7:14 am EST
✧
This May’s Full Moon is coupled with a Lunar Eclipse, the start of the two-month Eclipse season. The Lunar Eclipse, a rare and special celestial event, is occurring in Sagittarius the fiery Archer. Sagittarius reaches for the stars and is quite a balanced being. The Archer aspect of their nature represents their philosophical, wise, and higher learning seeking self. The Centaur aspect (the other dual meaning of their ruling glyph/symbol) shows their balanced character between primal and spiritual. The Centaur is half human and half animal, and this signifies our desire at the time of the Lunar Eclipse to connect to our sexuality and primal needs, and our Higher Selves. We are both spirit and animal and this is a key underlying theme this May.
Lunar Eclipse breakdown: -
● A Lunar Eclipse is when the moon during its Full Moon phase emanates the earth’s shadow. Planet earth is placed perfectly between the Sun and the Moon, and this further gives the impression that the moon is larger than normal.
● The Moon thus appears to be ‘super,’ hence its name “Supermoon.” It is also known as a blood moon- specifically a Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse combined. The moon literally appears blood red in the sky from our view on earth. The Eclipse on May 26th is a blood moon and Supermoon.
Be bold, take risks, and dream big.
There is no greater time than now to be bold and reach for the stars. Ruled by planet Jupiter, Sagittarius is one of the most adventurous and courageous star signs. This independent fire sign is known for their optimistic, spirited and adventure-loving nature. Sagittarius dreams big and likes to home in on talents and potential pathways for success and big achievements- they’re brave and fearless when they set their minds to something. A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius makes us all feel the energy of the Jupiter ruled ‘Archer.’ Jupiter’s influence also
makes this full moon sparkle with subtle energy that steers us towards connecting to our higher minds, the higher self and philosophies and spiritual ideals that lead to consciousness expansion. And new connections and opportunities!
Take time to reflect on your long-term goals. Energize your dreams, actual dreams you’ve had through sleep and dreams & aspirations. Don’t play it small as the stars are aligning in your favor.
A date with destiny…?
A Lunar Eclipse activates cosmic portals of energy and higher consciousness. The Lunar Nodes are activated during a Lunar Eclipse, the Lunar Nodes being the North and South Nodes. These relate to our destiny, unique mission or services and talent- what we’re supposed to do in this lifetime, and what we’re meant to steer away from, and our karma. Destiny is brought into the forefront of our consciousness when the North and South Nodes are active. The North Node is all about our adult self and talents, gifts and special abilities as linked to our service, career and the like. This is where we’re headed to: who we’re becoming. The South Node is what we’re steering away from. It represents our childhood self, what we fall back towards as we did in childhood and youth, such as insecurities, wounds and comforts that keep us disconnected from our mature adult body (and North Node self).
The North and South Nodes or Lunar Nodes are essentially symbolling of our past and future. Karma influences us in all areas; therefore it would be wise to look up your birth chart during this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse to discover where your Lunar nodes lie. They will illuminate your destiny, strengths, and weakness, likes and dislikes, and what you should be working on mastering and embodying in the next astrological cycle.
Multiple perspectives
Keep an open mind too. There are always 2 or 3 sides to every story- ‘his,’’ ‘hers’’ and spirit’s. Source is non-judgmental. God or Spirit is all-embracing and unconditionally loving. The universe is omniscient and compassionate. But intellect and logic create a cord which links the heart, feeling and empathy with reason and rationality. This May’s Lunar Eclipse highlights the higher mind, and with this comes mental and cognitive abilities. We are more inclined to explore our philosophies and fundamental belief systems- and link them to our relationships and current (and past) life events. Stay open-minded, release judgement, and practice compassion and empathy. Unconditional love can lead to tolerance, patience, wisdom, and greater understanding and empathy.
Don’t be afraid to redefine your beliefs and perspective either. There is no shame in admitting you’ve been wrong or have something twisted. Remember that Sagittarius signifies fearlessness and courage, and that the Lunar Nodes bring the element and energy of karma into the mix. Sometimes our belief systems are faulty- they are often developed from misinformation or
manipulations and mistruths. Embrace the reality that you’re human capable of mistakes. This opens pathways to wisdom and personal power, authority and self-sovereignty...
Lay the groundwork.
Eclipses usually have a corresponding Eclipse, an “opposite.” There’s a Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius on December 4th, a time of new beginnings and unexpected opportunities. You should therefore consider laying the groundwork for the next 6-month cycle. This Lunar Eclipse is all about transformation and our internal world- our feelings, beliefs, impressions, and understandings of our experiences. This is because the Moon symbolizes our inner world. The Lunar Eclipse this coming December is more expressive, it relates to our outer world (as represented by the Sun). Relationships will come powerfully into focus by the time the Sagittarius total Solar Eclipse comes. Now is the time to make sense of things, lay the foundation for what you want to manifest and accomplish- in career, relationships, finances, and personal passion projects, and set the stage and tone for the next 6 months.
Many Blessings, Cecelia
New Moon in Taurus:
Roots & Community, Choosing A Grounded Path
✧
NEW MOON in Taurus
11th May 2021: 2:58 pm EST
✧
This May’s New Moon is occurring in Taurus, the grounded earth sign known for its dependability and responsibility. A Taurus New Moon is all about choosing a grounded path and aligning with it. It’s time to get serious with your talents and passions! If you are already on your path and living life to your fullest potential, the stars are asking you to take your career and services to the next level. As a Fixed earth sign, Taurus is also symbolic of roots, community, and culture- our connection to the planet and how much emotional intelligence & maturity we display. This is a great moon cycle for wealth and resource manifestation, romance, and sensuality, and stepping into a role of self-leadership and career level-up.
Taurus Key Traits: -
● Reliability, dependability, and self-responsibility.
● Lovers of beauty, nature, and cooperation.
● Community, family, and friendship focused.
● Romantic, sensual and pleasure loving.
● Down-to-earth, modest, easy-going, and optimistic.
● Hard-working, ecologically conscious, and Mother Earth/environment activists!
Be Realistic~ with “Roots!”
It’s time to be realistic and be honest with your finances, health, relationships, home and family life, and everything above and in between. Taurus is deeply realistic and grounded; this sign enjoys creating strong foundations and forming close bonds and relationships. Whether it be platonic, romantic, family or business, relationships will be highlighted during this lunar transit. But it’s not a doorway to excuses, denial or escapism- reality and roots are the two key words with the Taurus New Moon.
Evaluate the connections in your life. Are you getting your needs met? What are your beliefs around love and intimacy? Have you healed from past wounds and sexual experiences? Do you have a close relationship with your family? Is there harmony and synergy in work and business partnerships?
Although Taurus is stoic and serious this sign is also playful and self-expressive. They love community and to be surrounded by kindred spirits who ‘get’ them. So, take a look around and within, at your circle and friendship or social groups. Be honest with your emotions, feelings and instinctual responses when analyzing the true essence of your friendships & relationships. Are the people around you serving your best interests? Do they have your head, heart and back?!
Plant Seeds
Now is the time to plant seeds both physical and metaphorical. Tend to your garden, watch the awe-inspiring beauty of nature growing, and work towards some level of self-sufficiency. Fruit, vegetable, and herb seeds make for a fun and satisfying project, and you’ll further be giving back to the earth and the bees, birds and insects of our earth. Think ‘Mother Earth…’ Secondly, seeds of intention can be planted, so spend sufficient time energizing your plans and goals. Long-term dreams, aspirations and ambitions can be given a super boost with the grounded and practical Taurus energies.
This New Moon sparks our manifestation powers, and our inner passions and desires for success. Success can be psychological, emotional, and spiritual too- not just physical! Aim for self-development and recognize the ‘practical magic’ earth energy associated with this sign. There’s opportunity for a new beginning, one in harmony with our planet and eco-principles. What role are you playing?
Furthermore, think about combining ritual or sacred space with your seed planting. Now is the time to get your sage out and cleanse your room, home, and even garden. Loving send healing energy around your newly planted seeds and herbs, plants, or vegetables; sage and cleanse your room and home and meditate to align your chakras. A New Moon in Taurus is not only a new beginning for planet earth and our ecosystems, but also for ourselves.
Appreciate Nature and Slow Down
It’s equally important that you slow down during this lunar cycle. Take some time to go within. Appreciate nature and count the blessings in your life. Consider phoning or emailing an old friend or relative, someone you have not connected with in a while. Taurus is a very traditional sign; therefore, family and tradition are called for. Nature will help to rejuvenate your energies and restore a sense of comfort, home, and belonging, while friends and family will assist in reminding you of the power of roots, connection, and community.
Bring things back to basics. Adopt a divinely simplistic approach to self and life. Taurus is not only practical and conservative/traditional, Taurus is equally sensual and a lover of beauty,
intimacy, and pleasure and the like. Venus, Taurus’ ruling planet, comes to light from the 11th. You may find yourself more sensual and pleasure-seeking than usual. Romantic and in need of sexual chemistry and stimulation too. Venus is the planet of love and sexuality, a Goddess of sensuality, pleasure, and feminine sexuality. Connect to your feminine nature by increasing or practicing nurturance, care, empathy, and personal magnetism.
If you’re coupled up or spending time with a lover this May, enjoy the pleasures of life. Romance and desire are amplified, and these can lead to inspiration! Just be mindful of becoming too hedonistic, as hedonism is the shadow side of this luxury-loving, pleasure-seeking sign.
Dream Big, think in terms of ‘Holism’.
The Sun is in Uranus while the Moon is in Taurus. Uranus is the changemaker planet, the revolutionary celestial entity also known as the ‘Great Awakener.’ There is much more than initially meets the eye with this New Moon, and it may seem to be overshadowed by the Eclipse coming up (Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius, on the 26th), however this is not the case. During the Taurus New Moon, Neptune is in Pisces and Mars is in Cancer.
This is a beautiful combination… water and earth blend well together. If you’re a fire or earth sign you may struggle a bit this month, yet you can really benefit from the down-to-earth, introspective, and yin energy. Earth or water? You will find your natural gifts and talents amplified and more grace, bliss, and effortlessness fill your life. Neptune in Pisces expands creativity, the imagination and spirituality- and Taurus and Pisces are compatible and harmonious (so there is a great synergy here).
And, the Sun is harmonizing with Neptune the planet of instincts, psychic gifts, spirituality and dreams, and Mars with Uranus. This means immense power and energy long-term change, global and collective shifts, sparks in personal power, new ideas and innovative solutions to big problems. What does this mean practically? Well, for starters you could think about starting your own permaculture garden, hiring an allotment, or solar paneling your house.
