2020’s final Full Moon falls on December 30th, whilst the Sun is in ambitious and practicality-driven Capricorn and not long after some incredibly significant transits. The Full Moon is happening in Cancer and lights up the areas of home, family, roots, and creativity. Cancer is a very sensual, sensitive, and creative sign, so let’s explore what we can expect in more detail.
Firstly, remember that Full Moons are symbolic of completions, ‘coming full circle.’
Cancer: The Home-Loving, Compassionate Water Sign
This Full Moon is all about completion and a sense of renewal at home and on the domestic front. Family will be in focus, either your extended family or the family-life you have created in adulthood. This is a very mature and spiritually insightful lunar cycle, Cancer sign rules the 4th House, the house of home, roots & family. One needs to be mature to deal with real-world issues.
Domesticity will be one of the center points of your focus. Your time and attention could very well be on the presentation of your home or room- beautiful objects, lovely smells, and things that bring you feelings of peace. Cancer loves peace and quiet and is very, very imaginative. You would be wise to work with essential oils and the elements during this time.
Gemstones and crystals that help to connect you to your watery-emotional nature, your inner sensitives, are strongly advised. Moonstone eases chaotic emotions and brings emotional harmony and stability. Selenite helps to connect you to your higher self and higher chakras (energy portals) so that you can see with clear sight and vision, and a sense of spiritual and subconscious awareness. Cancer is ruled by the Moon as we explore next.
In addition to healing and calming gemstones you should pay attention to your dreams. The Cancer star sign possesses an amazingly powerful intuition- and strongly developed instincts. There is a direct link to the subconscious mind and realms, therefore this link is also available to you. Dream recall and paying attention to the messages, insights and wisdom in dreams are amplified at this time, so do make sure you take some time out to get in the right energetic space for dreaming.
Dream tips: -
1. Turn all electronic and Wi-Fi devices off at least one hour before sleep. Electromagnetic interference can be quite harmful, especially during and after a Full Moon (and even more so in the sensitive sign of Cancer!).
2. Keep lighting to a minimal or none at all. Sleep is enhanced by non-artificial lights, so consider keeping the curtains open for natural moonlight and turning off all lighting. Candles and eco lamps are ok.
3. Binaural beats or nature sounds linked to the element of water- such as ocean waves or dolphin or whale sounds- are ideal. You can keep one device on for healing sounds. Search for ‘binaural beats for sleep and dreaming’ on YouTube and you will find a lot of perfect choices.
The Moon’s direct influence
Due to The Full Moon residing in Cancer and Cancer being ruled by the Moon herself, we have the direct energies of the Moon by our side. The Moon is feminine, symbolic of the body and emotions, and brings feminine qualities of nurturance, caring, kindness, compassion, and passivity. There is a gentleness available on and after the 30th, just as the Sun is associated with action and masculine forces of empowerment.
‘Yin’ qualities can be sought after and connected to. Yin is passive, receptive, magnetic, and feminine, it is the duality of yang (masculine energy) and deeply emotional in nature. Positively, this means heightened instincts and intuitive powers are available. Inner moods and sensations, feelings, and internal currents are brought to light.
Self-awareness and self-discovery are key themes with this Full Moon, and you can enhance them through journaling, introspection, music, art, spending time in nature, getting enough sleep and rest, and conscious dreaming (all Cancerian qualities and associations). All in all, our imaginations are amplified and combined with the Sun’s recent journey into Capricorn on the 21st, this is a very self-empowering moon cycle.
Sun in Capricorn- some grounding and stability
Furthermore, Capricorn is deeply harmonious with Cancer’s energies. They are actually opposite each other in the Zodiac wheel, and in terms of compatibility Cancer and Capricorn are considered a good match. Capricorn provides a sense of security and grounding that Cancer loves while Cancer’s imaginative and instinctual qualities are received well by this down-to-earth and comfort-loving earth sign. Both signs love comfort, authentic connection, and emotional bonds in addition to commitment in relationships.
So, if you’re feeling a bit spaced out or overly ethereal, something that can happen during a Cancer Full Moon, just remember you have the grounded support and security of the Sun in
Capricorn. Positively your ethereal and sensitive qualities will be enhanced, which means psychic and spiritual gifts can soar. This is the ideal time to do some psychic or spiritual development work and self-healing!
Key takeaways: -
● Cancer is sweet, sensual, compassionate, and imaginative: All these qualities can be enhanced through conscious self-development and inner work/healing.
● Cancer loves home: Any activities engaged in around the house and home will bring you emotional satisfaction and a sense of belonging. Cooking, creativity, arts & crafts, music, gardening, and even household chores are the best ways to soothe your mind and spirit.
● Be mindful of the power of your subconscious: The Moon’s energies are amplified during a Full Moon in Cancer. Dreaming, nurturance, kindness, acts of selfless giving, and empathic communication are in focus and can therefore be developed and embodied. Generosity and selflessness replace any feelings of anger, resentment, and selfishness at this time.
● Intuitive, psychic and spiritual powers: Cancer may be compassionate and a homebody, but this water sign is also incredibly psychic and intuitive. Spiritual gifts can be expanded, and self-realization achieved through acts of soul connection; music, art, creative self-expression, meditation, yoga, tai chi… As a Full Moon is all about ‘completion’ you may already be at the end of a cycle on these matters. If so, remember the power of gratitude for integration.
Final thoughts
We are about to enter a new year, a numerological year ‘5’ and soon to be the year of Ox. 5 is all about freedom, individual liberties, and change. Combined with Saturn entering Aquarius this month (December 2020) and Uranus in Taurus (the ‘Great Awakener’ and planet of r/evolution and positive transformation), there is a lot of ground-breaking and catalytic energy in store. Some of the changes we see on an individual and global level may very well be jaw-dropping! Surprises and shifts in perpetuity...
The Ox in Chinese Eastern astrology, of course, represents hard-work, honesty, and intelligence; traits we can tap into for the best success.
Many Blessings, Cecelia
New Moon in Sagittarius, December 14th, 2020
The New Moon on December 14th falls in fire sign Sagittarius, the energetic and optimistic Archer. This tells us a lot about the energies available to us. Of course, New Moons represent new beginnings, fresh starts, and a new lunar cycle- meaning fresh perspectives and vibrant life force are in store.
But this New Moon is accompanied by a total Solar Eclipse. Double power! And an amplification of inspiration ...Let’s look at the symbolism of December’s New Moon now.
Sagittarius: The Bold and Independent Archer
Sagittarius is the sign of the Archer reaching towards the stars. This fire sign is all about boldness, courage, and bravery, how we step into our light to inspire or help others in our communities. This fiery sign is also highly independent and symbolizes ‘vision.’ Sagittarius isn’t known to play small or meek, and this is what we can expect with a New Moon in Sagittarius.
Climbing personal and professional mountains, tuning into our need for adventure and wanderlust, and everything related to the sign’s glyphs (astrological symbols). Sag is both the Archer who reaches for the stars and the Centaur, the half man and half animal mythological creature. This portrays the themes of this lunar cycle.
We are both primal with animalistic urges, needs and desire- and spiritual and divine. Philosophies and beliefs are coming into awareness, personal evaluation and self-discovery are strong. If you already consider yourself quite evolved with a strong set of morals, principles, ethics and ideologies (beliefs, philosophy, etc.) this is the perfect time to fine-tune your beliefs.
The Sagittarius sign brings the energy of connecting to our higher selves, the higher self, through wisdom acquisition and the pursuit of knowledge.
Jupiter’s influence
You would be wise to plan your future with this energy. Visionary qualities combined with recognizing your need for travel, kindred spirits, community, seeing the big picture, spiritual ideals, and living from a higher and more connected reality tie into this month’s energies. Jupiter rules Sagittarius, Jupiter is all about expansion. Luck and prosperity come through staying true to your dreams and aspirations too.
Going back to wisdom, now would be the perfect time to develop a spiritual, well-being or professional practice. Jupiter rules higher learning and educational pursuits, therefore these things are strong right now. Any intentions you set now and steps you take can see results 6 months down the line. Remember that a New Moon signifies new beginnings.
A New Moon and Solar Eclipse (plus Solstice!)
Not only is December 14th a New Moon but there is also a total Solar Eclipse. Solar energy is powerful, inspiring and high in life force (vital energy); it brings the qualities of passion, self-confidence, assertiveness, and action. Because Sag is a fire sign having a Solar Eclipse alongside this New Moon is an amazing time to get in tune with your inner fire, passions, and long-term goals.
Rewards for hard work are available as well. Just 3 days later, Saturn- the ‘task-masker’ planet of ‘tough-love,’ also representing structure, authority, and physical foundations combined with order; leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius. This is an extremely powerful new transit and astrological cycle to be conscious of.
Saturn in Aquarius literally signifies big changes in consciousness- collective/global and individual, humanitarianism, community, technology, science, healing and spirituality. Conscious rebellion and greater justice for all are the key themes associated with this Saturn cycle. The fact that this happens just 3 days after the Solar Eclipse New Moon tells us a lot- pay attention to the sins of the times.
Of course, we also have the Winter Solstice on the 21st; self-alignment, evolution, and spiritual illumination all round! Connect to your intuition and soulful passions at this time and be sure to work with the energies of the Sagittarius New Moon Solar Eclipse. Solstice is a wonderful time for healing, meditation, nature therapy, artistic pursuits, creativity, and higher self-connection. Growth can come through spiritual recognition and ‘going within to go without’ (just like the saying “as above so below”).
Key takeaways: -
● Plan your future: Visionary and idealistic energies are strong, get in tune with your inner power and self-sovereignty. Sagittarius is a very independent sign.
● Commit to a new health, spiritual or well-being practice: December, specifically any time from the 14th, is the best time to recommit to a new self-care and health routine and practice. Think meditation, morning yoga, chi kung, plant-based/wholefoods diet, spiritual healing and core shamanic principles. If it heals your spirit and soul it will bring wholeness and rejuvenation into your life. Mind, body & spirit work as one.
● Tap into Jupiter: Luck, expansion and abundance can all come through the other main qualities of Jupiter; higher learning, philosophy, knowledge, and spirituality. Take an online course or develop a skill set. Expand your services, gifts, and talents- it can increase your personal income and make you feel confident and self-autonomous simultaneously.
● Travel plans? Sag is the sign typically associated with travel, wanderlust, and a ‘free-spirited’ vibe. Even if you can’t go anywhere just yet make sure you create a plan of action for your future. Careers linked to Sagittarius include travel and hospitality, music, art, the creative industry, digital nomading, writing and publishing, tourism, and teaching.
Final thoughts…
Sagittarius is a bit of a seer and mentor, a guide and ‘prophet.’ Whether you want to take this literally or metaphorically, Sagittarius’ usually achieve success and a level of self-mastery in the philosophical and/or spiritual fields.
They’re deeply philosophical, wise, perceptive and intelligent! Also, deeply intuitive and creatively gifted. The New Moon on December 14th allows you to connect to these traits and develop and integrate them. Merged with all of the other significant astrology surrounding the New Moon this is a very special month.
One interesting thought to leave you with... Many people including astrologers and astronomers believe that the Mayan calendar’s “prediction” for December 21st, 2012 is intrinsically linked to the Solstice on December 21st 2020. 2020’s winter solstice is a portal to higher states of consciousness and self-awareness through the connection to the Galactic Center. What does this mean on a very down-to-earth and grounded level?
It means you can raise your vibration and expand your frequency. Self-evolution and self-realization of a more interconnected, divine, and universally loving reality are possible. Unconditional love and compassion can be meditated on for optimum manifestation.
Blessings Cecelia

This means the Full and New Moon energies will bring a sense of completion and new beginnings in your personal & professional life.
Taurus
You will be feeling warm and positive this month, Taurus. Home is one of your favorite things, and fortunately the universe has blessed you with a stable & secure home-life throughout December. Nostalgia and sentimentality, looking through old pictures and heart-warming poems or letters, will bring a great sense of emotional satisfaction. You also feel inspired by creative prospects. This energy is expanded through the New Moon (and Solar Eclipse- double power!) in Sagittarius on the 14th.

Your faith, hope and vision for both yourself and humanity will be tested. But, you can tune into the positive energies available through meditation, soul-searching, introspection, and other artistic and self-reflective pursuits.
Gemini
This month is looking excellent for your career prospects Gemini. You are working with the energies of the November 30th New Moon, which occurred in your own sign. Because this was also a Lunar Eclipse you have an amplified surge of personal power and inspiration. It’s the perfect time to expand your online side hustle or work-from-home income. You will also be fascinated by all things spiritual, metaphysical, and healing this month, making it an ideal time to begin or deepen a spiritual healing or self-development practice. There won’t be much in terms of commitment, practical duties are low & minimal throughout December, but you will find joy in your home-life. Home & family in addition to inner artistry and creative self-expression take centre stage. If you have children, you will find blissful yet highly charged activities to keep the spirits up. Overall this is a very empowering month.
Be mindful of the New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius on Dec 14th- fresh starts are due.
Cancer
December can bring up some emotional confusion and inner conflict if you’re not careful. This is because of all the fire and air energy that is not completely harmonious with your nature. You will find solace in your family and home-life, however, specifically the activities you engage in by yourself, such as professional pursuits or self-reflection; imaginative & artistic activities. Emotional and spiritual satisfaction comes from inner worlds this month. Your dreams are vivid and profound too, and you may discover key insights into your future through consciously working with your dreams. You are one of the most instinctual and subconsciously connected signs of the Zodiac- make the most of this peaceful and reflective month. If you want to expand your horizons begin making a plan of action on the 14th, the time of the Sagittarius New Moon and Solar Eclipse. Visionary energies are strong!
Leo
You will be shining, glowing, and commanding centre stage in your home Leo, but there is also much restlessness and drama! You need to be mindful of your tendency to boss, control and dominate, as you become bored and slightly tyrannical when there isn’t much going on in the world. Your emotional satisfaction and happiness comes from the bonds and family members closest to you this month, however. If you want to find peace and harmony, seek as much creativity and innovation as you can. Cook, paint, draw, journal, take long walks in nature, read, soul-search, dream, write poetry, and express yourself through music. Dance and music can be your saving grace. On the 14th there is a beautifully compatible New Moon Solar Eclipse in fellow fire sign Sagittarius, which helps you to tap into your visionary and inspirational qualities for a bright future. Create a vision board or plan of action.
Virgo
Home and domestic issues will take precedence this month. Whilst everyone else seems to be enjoying a free and elongated holiday, you are the one keeping it all together! If you want to feel emotionally satisfied tap into your practical, dutiful and modest qualities throughout December. You are naturally helpful and enjoy being a gem to friends & family, but do remember to rest and allow yourself some time to chill and reflect. You might find yourself learning a new skill too- this is an excellent time to take an online course, expand your intellectual or professional horizons, and fine-tune personal talents. Craftsmanship, creative cooking, building things and creativity can spice up your daily routine if you have time. You will most likely be spending a lot of time at home, therefore introspective and artistic activities are a sure way to keep you sane. Be careful of your nervous system and try not to boss others around. A laid-back and harmonious attitude wins.
Libra
Beautiful creativity, artistic pursuits, inspiration and professional expansion are in store for you. This is a fabulous month! The Gemini Full Moon from November 30th will leave you feeling refreshed and grounded while the Sagittarius New Moon provides energy and vitality for
success. High spirits and a dedicated focus are available; you possess vision, ambition, intellectual wisdom and unique talents to help your dreams materialize. “Future envisioning” is a key theme for you to end the year, and any feelings of discomfort or confusion will be eradicated by the Solstice on the 21st. Love and partnerships will also be playing on your mind, if you are already in a committed relationship or have a lover by your side this month will provide the intimacy & sexual connection you need to help in other areas of your life.
Scorpio
It is an intense but smooth and sexy December Scorpio. The chemistry you have been feeling for a significant other, love interest, or even life itself will inspire and motivate you to new heights. You will be feeling frisky, flirty and charming... ambitious, determined and focused... and intelligent, caring and wise. All of your key Scorpio traits are highlighted this month. The Full Moon from the previous month on the 30th helped to expand your communicative powers; perhaps a project or professional path came full circle, and you stepped into a position of self-leadership & authority? Or you may have seen significant advancements in your career that have left your spirits high. With a New Moon in adventurous and optimistic Sagittarius on the 14th, which also happens to be a Solar Eclipse, your visionary & intuitive powers are off the chain. Now is the perfect time to go after your dreams and take the final steps towards a prosperous new year.
Sagittarius
December seems to be made for you Sag. The Full Moon in your opposite sign Gemini from November 30th taught you the true meaning of duality and communication. You may have had to deal with some minor nuisances or confusions in communication, with your partner or colleagues, boss or parents, but the lessons you learned were key to your growth. As a result of miscommunication you integrated valuable insights so you won’t repeat the same mistake again or over- your light is shining! Now you have a New Moon, representing new beginnings & fresh starts, and Solar Eclipse in your own sign on the 14th. This signifies excellent prospects in work, services, romance, and health. You should strengthen or recommit to a well-being routine this month, such as a spiritual practice, herbal supplements, or going plant-based. Travel is on your mind and you would benefit from making a concrete plan of action for the new year.
Capricorn
You will be feeling more dreamy and astrally activated than normal. This is because your work has simmered down, or you’ve chosen to allow yourself rest and relaxation to recharge for the new year. This allows you to connect to the gentle and more feminine aspects of your personality; you love to express yourself artistically and creatively and you may feel inspired to expand your work-from-home, online ‘side hustle’- but you’re not seeing it as a chore, it is bringing you much fulfillment. Spiritually, your intuitive and instinctive powers have been given a boost and your mindset is generally positive. Utilize the energies of the Sagittarius New Moon on the 14th for an extra does of optimistic inspiration. Visionary qualities can be connected to now, and amplified, whilst your health is looking strong. Change can come about from small
improvements in daily habits, such as eating more of a wholefoods or plant-based diet, doing a detox or fast, and staying committed to a spiritual or meditation practice.
Aquarius
Your visionary, humanitarian-minded, artistic and intellectual qualities are soaring to new heights this December. You have accepted the things you can’t change and are now focusing on what you can do to expand your prospects. Close family bonds and friendships are looking up, you will be feeling secure and safe in your physical surroundings and home-life provides an opportunity to find innovative ways to earn money online. Freelancing, digital nomading (for when travel opens up!), online writing, illustration and creative work are all ideal routes to seek out. Educational pursuits including higher learning will inspire you to expand your skill set, so taking a course or mastering a trade should be considered. Your social life will be surprisingly good despite only having a small circle of friends, or communicating and connecting lots online. Luckily your sign rules technology and the internet, so this shouldn’t be a problem for you.
Pisces
This is a dreamy and reflective month for you, Pisces. You will be pouring your energies into personal passion projects and your profession. Career advancements are likely and your emotional satisfaction comes from your ability to shine and express yourself in your work and service to the world at large. Poetry, writing, art, music, passion projects, romance, and dreamwork are key areas in December while the New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 14th in fire sign Sagittarius provides the sense of wanderlust and optimism, spontaneity and energy you desire. But you’ll also feel restlessness- travel and faraway lands will be on your mind. Your intuition and connection to subtle energy is heightened, and your libido will come back in surprising ways. Seek to make sufficient changes by the 13th, as you still have the empowering ‘completion’ energies of Gemini’s, the sign of duality and communication, Full Moon from the 30th (November).
General Astrology for December:
l. The energies from November’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on November 30th are strong! This emphasizes all aspects of communication, duality, imagination and intellect. Subtle changes in your communication style can be made, which lead to greater self-empowerment and intuition.
2. December’s New Moon on the 14th is also a total Solar Eclipse. This is happening in fire sign Sagittarius, highlighting the qualities of wanderlust, travel and adventure, higher learning, philosophy, optimism and creative inspiration. All signs will be feeling this expansive & spontaneous energy in some way. As it’s a New Moon, fresh perspectives
are available in addition to new beginnings. Significant steps can be made and plans initiated.
3. Winter Solstice occurs on the 21st, marking a sense of completion and spiritual illumination. Self-alignment is attainable. Also, many believe and advocate that December 21st 2020 is a very special date linking to the Solstice of 2012; aka the ‘Grand Cycle Shift.’ This is the perfect time to finalize key parts of your life and self-identity so that you can step into a brighter future in harmony with your best self.
4. Jupiter-Saturn conjunction: 21st. Wow! This is the closest Jupiter-Saturn conjunction since 1623, the year 14 years after Galileo’s first telescope. This is known as a “marker of time” and signifies a shift in consciousness and frequency. Evolution is possible on so many levels...
Aries (March 20 - April 19): Time to take a breath so you can count your
blessings, Aries! Your career and social life are reaching a culmination point. Reaping
the results of everything you’ve worked for thus far. If not financial reward or
recognition, it could be a creative interest you’ve invested in lately. All of which you
may have considered as a new career path. Though you should be wary of any career
opportunities or business partnerships that seem too good to be true.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Hallelujah to November, Taurus! An internal battle
between yourself and your faith are finally making a truce starting this month. New
beginnings in your love and family life in recent months have expanded your
awareness. All of which is transforming you on a cellular level and allowing you to
make peace with what was. Putting you in a much better position to have difficult
yet empowering conversations. Quality time with loved ones and rest will prepare
you for the best that’s on its way.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Just a few more strides until you reach the finish line,
Gemini! Recent upgrades in your love life and education means you’re thoroughly
considering the long haul. Including the who, what, and where. Whether it’s
graduation, engagement, or a new relationship. Love and career opportunities that
are presented to you now are quite promising. All of which can bolster your
optimism and motivation to finish out strong.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Some rain showers have their double rainbows, Cancer!
True colours regarding someone at work or in your love life have shined through
recently. Thinking someone is too good to be true, for better or worse. Whether it’s a
love interest, business partnership, or job. Your sentiments, nonetheless, are putting
a damper on you. Believe in the best and watch it unfold right before your eyes.
Trust the universe— and your gut— on this one.
Leo (July 23-August 22): Your heat doesn’t stop during the warmer months, Leo!
Perhaps you’ve felt down or less motivated in areas of your home life and creative
pursuits. All of which is finally passing this month, as changes around where you
live are more promising now. An ideal time for sprucing up or redecorating your
home. Though any creative activities are suitable. As you’ll experience sudden
creative bursts that you shouldn’t let go to waste.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): Home is where the friendship is this month,
Virgo! You’ve dedicated much of yourself to the long term aspects of your career
and home life in recent months. From home improvement, relocating, to new
career opportunities. Despite your increased motivation, creativity blocks can set
you back. An ideal time for catching up with old friends and delving into leisure
time. All of which can offer the aha! moment you need.
Libra (September 23-October 22): Time to put your mouth where the money is,
Libra! Your finances and career have felt more like walking than talking. Even if
actions speak louder than words, not everyone is receptive to your action’s volume.
All of which is wearing you out in the process, as you don’t feel as seen or heard as
you’d like. This month is about learning the art of self-marketability. Journaling or
other creative hobbies that refine your self-expression are key to achieving this.
Scorpio (October 23-November 22): Cheers to your birthday season, Scorpio!
You may not be up for the celebration at first given how much has been happening
with your home and creative life. Expect everything to chill out during the summer
months. In the meantime, treat yourself and be open to any invitations to celebrate
the occasion with friends or family. Financial upgrades are also due this month.
Meaning go ahead and treat yourself while you’re at it.
Sagittarius (November 23-December 21): Surrender to the sweetness this month,
Sagittarius! Blessings in love and finances have been the oenomel that’s gotten you
through. Though your sweet tooth for your relationships or career might lose the
craving for the time being. The eclipses happening in your sign this month can hit
you with overwhelming intuitive downloads. Pushing you to retreat and lay low for
the time being. Honor any need for space for solitude. Though the universe is
cranking up the party come your birthday season, so get ready.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Gratitude is the attitude this month,
Capricorn! November is the curtain call for a heck of a year you’ve had thus far.
Upgrades in your career, finances and self-image means it’s about time you can
finally chillax. Relaxing can help you resolve unfinished business pertaining to your
family or living situation. Much is looking up for you moving forward. So be sure to
thank your lucky star.
Aquarius (January 20-February 17): You’re on top of the world this month,
Aquarius! The universe is highlighting career and creativity sectors. Overall
improvement in areas of love, home, and health means you can channel yourself into
something that lights you up from the inside out. All of which can be an antidote to
any health ailments or emotional pressure you’re experiencing. Opportunities in
leadership or independent work are strongly present at this time— so take a leap of
faith with yourself.
Pisces (February 18-March 19): Time to spread your wings, Pisces! The jet lag
from the past two months is finally clearing out for you. Your travel and love life
have recently opened the floodgate to your heart. Feeling more inspired to go big
and go home. Whether it’s a new degree, relationship, marriage, home, or plans to
move elsewhere. All of which is helping you set realistic yet creative goals for
yourself.
Blessings, Cecelia
New Moon in Virgo: Practical Wisdom
On September 17, we will witness a New Moon in earthy Virgo. New Moons always represent a brand new beginning: they are inaugurating a lunar cycle of growth and experimentation, they give us a chance for a fresh start and the cyclical opportunity to begin anew.
The Sun and the Moon are joining forces at 25° of the sign of the Maiden, offering us the possibility to set an intention, plant a seed, and create something new in our lives.
The New Moon in Virgo is the cosmic event you want to take advantage of if you have a dream, an idea, a project and you want to make it real and tangible. Fully harnessing its power allows us to clear our vision and to efficiently plan, organize, and schedule what we need to do to make our dreams come true, to manifest them in the 3D world.
Virgo: Striving for Perfection
Virgo is the sixth archetype of the Zodiac: it is a Mutable, Yin, and Earth sign whose functions are continual self-improvement, discernment, and putting one's knowledge at service of the world. Being a mutable archetype, Virgo has the potential to have multiple areas of expertise and to bring forward multiple projects at once. Multitasking, versatility, and mental flexibility are some of its qualities.
Through deep self-analysis and self-reflection, this archetype allows us to clearly see what doesn't work so that we can put specific adjustments in place: the goal is to improve ourselves, the way we do things, and the current reality.
Virgo teaches us that life is a never-ending work in progress. The tasks on our to-do list will never be over: there will always be something else to do, something that can be better. The sign of the Maiden represents the perpetual search for perfection. In this process, it becomes easy to feel constantly unsatisfied and unhappy with our life and to see it just as a series of problems we need to solve.
Yet, through the highest, conscious expression of Virgo, we also learn to accept the present moment and the current situation: we see it as a necessary step in time and space that is inherently perfect in itself.
Discernment and Healing
The New Moon in Virgo reminds us about the importance of discernment and common sense and invites us to organize our days more effectively and efficiently. To do so, we need to be able to discriminate and choose what obligations we take on, who we listen to, what information we gather, what we invest our focus, and life force energy in. Virgo aims to learn, share, and implement practical wisdom, useful for ourselves and others. The knowledge we possess, when properly organized and presented, has the potential to have a significant impact on others.
Virgo is sometimes considered the healer of the Zodiac. This sign rules our digestive system, and it is associated with what we feed to our bodies, physically, energetically, and emotionally. The New Moon in Virgo invites us to cultivate a holistic concept of health that recognizes the connection of all parts to the whole, taking into account the wellbeing of our body, mind, and spirit. This cosmic event encourages us to recognize and to align with what our whole being truly needs to feel good, energized, and balanced.
Speaking our Truth and Setting Clear Intentions
The ruler of the New Moon is Mercury, now traveling through Libra. Mercury's transit through the sign of the Scales encourages us to say what's on our mind in a way that is direct and honest, yet respectful and polite. This New Moon in Virgo invites us to clear our minds, set precise intentions for the future, and let other people know about what we really think, want, and feel.
Mercury in Libra is in a square aspect to Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn in Capricorn. This configuration represents an invitation to be mindful of the power of our words and to speak our truth authentically. These squares remind us to take into consideration the social context and the situation we are currently in, and that we need to adjust our language and word choice accordingly.
New Moon in Virgo: Manifesting Magic
Working with the energy of this New Moon is fantastic for conscious manifestation, and it promotes the consolidation of what we already achieved and want to maintain. Virgo is an Earth archetype, and Earth is concrete, stable, and solid. Earth signs are famous for being reliable and trustworthy, for having the capability to commit to whatever effort it takes to achieve their goals, hopes, and dreams: on this New Moon, we are encouraged to do the same.
Sun and Moon in Virgo are forming a harmonious trine to Saturn retrograde in Capricorn. This is another favorable aspect for manifestation and intention setting: it increases the possibility that our intentions concretize in the three-dimensional reality, and that the results of our work last for a long time.
The New Moon in Virgo truly offers us the chance to manifest abundance in our lives, but this can happen only if we manage to align our words, thoughts, and beliefs with our feelings and emotions. We are much more powerful than we expect, and we do have the power to create our reality. Nonetheless, for this to be possible, we need to believe in ourselves fully. The New Moon in Virgo invites us to think, speak, and especially feel as if we already had everything we wanted.
Blessings, Cecelia
Full Moon in Pisces: Dreams and Reality
On September 2, at 1:21 AM EST, a wonderful Full Moon is arriving in the sign of Pisces: this potent cosmic event is setting the tone for the two weeks ahead.
Full Moons always represent the culmination and blossoming of the lunar cycle: they illuminate and bring clarity to what was previously uncertain. During these days, we witness the maturation of our efforts: we have the chance to reap the fruits of our work.
We are going to experience the creative tension linked to the opposition between the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces. This configuration is exacerbated by the presence of Mercury in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces: both planets are transiting the signs they rule, putting the spotlight on the natural contrast between these energies.
While Sun and Mercury in earthy Virgo encourage us to ground, plan ahead, organize our days, improve ourselves, and become more efficient, the Moon and Neptune in Pisces inspire us to dream, to take it easy, go with the flow, adapt to what happens and trust the wisdom of Life.
While Pisces resides in the world of dreams, fantasy, and imagination, Virgo grounds us into reality, inviting us to invest our energy and focus wisely, to cultivate discernment, common sense, and to make conscious choices.
The Full Moon in Pisces increases our sensitivity and compassion, emphasizing our longing for peace and unity: she encourages us to harmonize contrasting energies in order to find emotional balance.
Sun and Mercury in Virgo: Get Better Every Day
Virgo is an Earth, Yin, and Mutable archetype, ruled by Mercury, the planet of rationality and logic. This sign aims to gather and share knowledge that has practical applications and can be useful for ourselves and others. The missions of Virgo are ongoing self-improvement and service to others. These are the reasons why Virgos are famous for being perfectionists and for their critical attitude: their goal is to get better every day and help others improve their lives too.
Mercury in Virgo promotes deep self-analysis and the critical thinking capacity we need to become aware of our flaws and shortcomings. The Sun in Virgo shifts our awareness on what can be better, what can be more efficient, and on how we can concretely help others. Virgo inspires us to ground in the present reality and invites us to commit to a continuous self-improvement process.
The distortion of the true mission of Virgo can cause a sense of guilt, failure, and ongoing anxiety: the awareness of our flaws and of the work that we still have to do can provoke intense
insecurity and feelings of inadequacy. The danger is to focus on an unattainable ideal: perfection is unreachable, and we are never satisfied with the results we obtain.
Moon and Neptune in Pisces: Go with the Flow
Pisces is a Yin, Mutable, and Water sign: the last archetype of the Zodiac represents the end and the beginning, both the completion of a process and its very beginning. With Pisces, we surrender control, accept the timing of the Universe, go with the flow, and allow our situation to unfold as it is supposed to.
Ruled by Neptune, the God of the oceans, this archetype is guided by intuition and unexplainable feelings: Pisces has a natural connection with subtle energies and the mystical dimension of existence. Neptune rules imagination, creativity, music, dance, poetry, and magic. Its long-term transit through its home sign (happening from 2012 to 2026) invites us to come back to a spiritual perception of the human experience and to reconnect with the sacred dimension of life.
Common shadows of Pisces can be a tendency towards passivity and inaction, and the inability to commit to anything or take responsibility for one's destiny: we get lost in dreams and illusions and lose contact with the actual reality. When Piscean energy is out of balance, we struggle to get things done, and to implement concrete actions that allow us to get closer to the life we desire.
Full Moon in Pisces: Between Dreams and Reality
The Moon in Pisces forms a supportive sextile to Uranus in Taurus: this aspect encourages us to welcome unexpected changes and look at the unknown with a sense of excitement. Meanwhile, Venus opposite Saturn reminds us to see every situation, no matter how challenging, as an opportunity for transformation and growth.
On this Full Moon, we are likely to feel a general confusion regarding what is going on in the world: we may struggle to understand what is real and what is not. Both Pisces and Neptune correlate with all mass phenomena, with the collective unconscious and the global emotional body. They symbolize the invisible mechanism through which events that take place in other parts of the planet affect us personally, on an emotional level.
This cosmic event enhances our intuition and our sensitivity to what happens to and around us. Integrating critical thinking and cultivating discernment through the polarity of Virgo becomes crucial to ground the increasing emotional energy. We need to take care of ourselves and create healthy boundaries from a place of self-knowledge and self-respect.
Ultimately, the opposition between the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo urges us to come into contact with the beauty and the inherent perfection of the present moment. The Full Moon in Pisces invites us to allow things to unfold as they are supposed to. She encourages us to accept our current situation as it is, while taking responsibility to do what we can to make it better.
Blessings, Cecelia

New Moon in Leo: Harness your Creative Potential
On August 18th or August 19th, depending on where you live, we are witnessing a New Moon in Leo: this celestial event is happening at 26°35’ of the sign of the Lion.
Each month, the New Moon offers us the precious opportunity to start over and begin a new cycle of growth and evolution. The energy of New Moons is perfect for setting intentions for the lunar cycle ahead. Clear your mind, focus on what you want to manifest and why, make sure to do so from a place of authenticity and self-love.
The two weeks between a Full Moon and the following New Moon represent a time for introspection, rest, and release of what we no longer want to carry with us. On the contrary, the two weeks immediately after the New Moon, and before the next Full Moon, are the moment to take focused and conscious action, directed towards a specific goal.
The cosmic energies of the moment are inviting us to think well about what we want to manifest, and to decide the best way to move towards that direction.
Fire New Moon: Transformation and Purification
Leo is a Fixed Fire archetype, with a Yang or masculine energy. Leo natives are famous for their loyalty, vitality, optimism, and enthusiasm. Several planets are currently in Fire signs: Mercury is conjunct Sun and Moon in Leo, while Mars is in Aries, forming a supportive trine to the New Moon.
Fire is a tremendously transformative element: it allows us to purify ourselves from everything that keeps us in a state of disempowerment, from everything that holds us back from expressing our full potential. Fire is related to our sexual and creative energy, to our passion and zeal, to our desire to experience everything that life can offer.
On this New Moon, we have the opportunity to take advantage of the abundant Fire energy available to us to clear our way from all obstacles and limitations. We have the chance to transmute any unresolved emotion that is holding us back from expressing our full potential, from becoming who we truly are.
Reveal Yourself to the World
Leo is the fifth sign of the Zodiac: it follows the phase of inner exploration corresponding to Cancer, through which we become conscious of our emotions and feelings.
Once we know ourselves, and we are aware of what we feel and need, we are ready to present ourselves to the world around us: this is the mission and the purpose of Leo. After a period of emotional processing and deep inner work, we feel the need to externalize our focus and reveal ourselves to everyone around us. We want to shine, to be seen and appreciated; we feel the desire to show our talents and skills to others.
This New Moon in Leo inspires us to value ourselves and to believe in our capacities fully. When we accept our individuality unapologetically and feel completely free to be who we are, we automatically inspire and motivate others to do the same.
Some of the shadows of Leo are vanity, superficiality, egocentrism, and need for external validation. During these days, it is crucial to make sure that we are not sharing ourselves and our talents because we need someone's attention or approval.
A healthy expression of the Leo archetype comes from a place of authenticity, genuine generosity, and unshakable self-love, independent of any external condition.
Cultivate Joy
Leo in Astrology is the sign associated with children and with our inner child, the playful and cheerful part of ourselves that we may have forgotten long ago. This New Moon is an invitation to consciously have fun, play, engage in activities that bring us joy, and appreciate the small pleasures of life.
During these uncertain times, it is extremely easy to be in a constant state of worry, anxiety, and fear for the future. The New Moon in Leo is inviting us to remember our natural state of being, the state of innocence, enthusiasm, and joy that children who grow up in a safe environment express effortlessly.
Despite our life situation, we can always make choices that have the power to change our emotional and mental state. This New Moon is an invitation to find something that makes you feel good, that stimulates your enthusiasm and your trust in the Universe, and make a conscious effort to dedicate more time to it.
Harness Your Creative Potential
Creativity is not a talent that only a few selected individuals possess, or something exclusively for artists. It can be cultivated by everybody and improved with practice and devotion, like everything else.
All of us, in our daily life, face the necessity to come up with fresh solutions when we have to solve a problem, decide to start a business, when we deal with children, or we choose to reinvent ourselves.
This cosmic event is encouraging us to take part in any activity that allows us to harness our creativity and cultivate playfulness: sports, music, dance, writing, theater, anything that gives us the chance to express ourselves and release the excess emotional energy.
Engaging in something that allows us to enter a state of flow not only changes our vibration: it has an immediate impact on the people around us too.
The New Moon in Leo ultimately reminds us that our creative potential is much broader than we imagine. We all have the possibility to tune into the universal source of infinite creative energy and enter the space where the real magic happens.
Blessings, Cecelia
Full Moon in Aquarius: Reclaim your Uniqueness
We start the month with a potent Full Moon in Aquarius, taking place on August 3rd at 11:58 AM EST. During these days, the energy is inviting cleansing, rest, and purification. The Moon is encouraging us to release what we no longer need or want in our lives.
Full Moons always represent the peak and the blossoming of the entire lunar cycle: at this moment of the month, we reap the fruits of our efforts. We have the opportunity to see the concrete manifestation of what we’ve been working on during the earlier phases of the Moon and enjoy the results we achieved.
Aquarius is the rebel and the genius of the zodiac. This Fixed Air archetype is well known for its inventiveness and originality, for challenging the status quo and inspiring us to open up to different perspectives, lifestyles, and beliefs. It is ruled by unpredictable Uranus, the Lord of electricity, lighting, and thunderstorms: this is not a sign you can fit in one box.
Aquarius and Uranus are traditionally associated with sudden changes and disruptions. They also correlate with groundbreaking discoveries, artificial intelligence, and technological advancements, like the telephone, the internet, and robots.
Technological and scientific progress is constantly reminding us that life is in perpetual motion and that we need to keep up with its fast pace, in one way or another. Only one thing is certain on this Full Moon: she is going to surprise and electrify us.
Full Moon in Aquarius: Be Unique and Challenge the Norm
This Full Moon is showering us with a creative, original, and inventive energy. The celestial bodies are supporting any expression of artistry, and any project that has a relevant social function, that aims to improve the state of the world.
The Sun in Leo fuels our creativity and vitality, while the Moon in Aquarius invites us to challenge the norm, to be proud of everything in us that’s unusual, and to use it to our advantage.
Aquarius and Uranus remind us to embrace our weirdness and cultivate authenticity, to be unconventional, eccentric, and unorthodox. They urge us to dare to be ourselves unapologetically, to stop asking for permission, and to let go of any need for approval or external validation.
The Full Moon in Aquarius inspires us to reclaim our uniqueness and to follow our personal life path without worrying about other people's opinions, preferences, or judgments. Her invitation is to dare offer to the world something that only we can offer.
The current transits encourage us to believe in ourselves, in our dreams and vision, and in the choices we make, even if nobody else does. Cultivate your unique talents and gifts, and share them with others from an open heart.
Full Moon square Uranus: Breaking Free from the Old
The Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius are forming a 90° square aspect with Uranus, the planetary ruler of the Full Moon.
The square is an aspect of tension: the inner conflicts we experience motivate us to move forward and grow. If we harness the current energy, we have the chance to find new, original, and ingenious ways to overcome limitations and obstacles.
Aquarius is a future-oriented sign: its function is to change the rules, establish new structures, and promote human rights and equality. Both Aquarius and Uranus urge us to innovate and to find alternative solutions to the current issues. They inspire us to be rebels with a cause and to strive to make the world a better place for everyone.
When Uranus is involved, there's often an element of shock and surprise. The ruler of Aquarius reminds us that we can choose how to relate to the pervasive feeling of not knowing what's going to happen. Facing the unknown doesn't have to be scary: it can be an exciting process. The unknown consists of infinite possibilities and pure potential: diving deep into it stimulates and accelerates the evolution of the human species.
Venus conjunct North Node: Unexpected Luck
On the day of the Full Moon, Venus in Gemini is just 2° away from the North Node. Their conjunction is exact on August 5, but we can already feel the benefits of this extremely supportive aspect.
The North Node is a point in space representing our individual and collective evolutionary direction. When a planet conjoins it, we are likely to experience a significant emphasis on the themes correlated to it.
Both Aquarius and Venus have something to do with relationships: Aquarius is traditionally associated with friendships, groups, and communities while Venus is the planet correlated to all our social interactions, romantic and not.
On this Full Moon we are likely to receive unforeseen support and inspiration from the people around us: be open to sudden and unexpected encounters. Exchanging perspectives and opinions with people of like mind may bring us insights and ideas that have the potential to change the course of our life.
The connections and interactions happening during these days are going to be karmic in nature. They are likely to support our Soul's purpose and may represent an integral part of our future path.
Unexpected events and opportunities are a possibility on this Full Moon in Aquarius: whatever happens is accelerating our global and individual transformation. The current planetary energies are supporting and quickening the paradigm shift we are collectively experiencing.
The Cosmos is encouraging us to break free from the old ways, hierarchies, and traditions, and inspiring us to create a new system based on equality, justice, and respect for individual differences.

Sun and Mercury move into Virgo on August 20 and 22: this is a great time to start new projects, your productivity is going to skyrocket, get ready to shine!
Libra
Leo season is going to have a beneficial influence on your friendships: you are likely to expand your network of contacts significantly. The Full Moon in Aquarius coming up on August 3 will offer you unexpected opportunities to interact with people very different from you. These days are great to focus on self-expression and cultivate hobbies, interests, and artistic pursuits that allow you to release the built-up tension and negative energy. Venus conjoins the North Node on August 5, another aspect supporting your communication skills and social interactions: get to know people outside your usual social circle, you may meet someone incredibly inspiring!
Scorpio
Your main area of focus during August is going to be your professional and public life, dear Scorpio. You may feel the need to invest more time in your career or to change something to bring it to the next level. The transit of Mars through Aries keeps supporting your determination and willpower. The last week of the upcoming month, when Sun and Mercury enter Virgo, is likely to bring you some professional rewards, and maybe even some unexpected help by a community or organization. Uranus stationing retrograde in the opposite sign of Taurus on August 15 may bring unforeseen changes in your existing relationships and even exciting new ones.
Sagittarius
Dear Sagittarius, August for you is a month of exploration and creativity. The transits of Sun and Mercury in Leo and Mars in Aries are going to inspire you to move past your comfort zone and take risks. As Jupiter keeps moving retrograde through Capricorn, you may feel the need to reevaluate your beliefs and create a different life for yourself, which is more attuned to your inner reality: this is the best time to take concrete steps in that direction. Venus conjunct the North Node in the opposite sign of Gemini is going to have a beneficial influence on your relationships: you may solve old issues and conflicts, and have deep, healing conversations.
Capricorn
The month of August has the potential to be profoundly healing and transformative for you, dear Capricorn. As Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter keep traveling retrograde through your sign, you go deeper into self-inquiry, introspection, and inner work. Breakthroughs are possible, especially in the area of intimacy and sexuality, as well as in business or financial partnerships.

The transit of Venus through Cancer and the beginning of Virgo season are likely to affect the way you show up in relationships.
