Leo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse: The Gift of Boredom
This Full Moon brings the last in a series of Leo eclipses that began in early 2017.

I’m hearing this loud and clear from clients, and I’m feeling it myself. But the question is always, “How will I make time for it?”

Sagittarius is a bundle of instinctual joy in gleeful defiance of rationality, and the Full Moon in this sign is a big, happy, irrational invitation to join the party; to approach life with good humor, innocence, and a glint of uncivilized rowdiness. But look just a little bit closer…

Libra Full Moon: It Isn’t Fair
Each moment of epic societal fail has a pedigree, a family tree that you can trace to understand its origins and to identify the point at which its DNA became corrupted. But the tree also has new branches and leaves that represent new generations with fresh energy… and that is a source of hope, a promise that wounds can heal and that day will inevitably follow night.

Aries Full Moon: Keep Fighting
This Full Moon in Aries and square Pluto shines its light on a world full of fellow humans fighting for their lives —and the danger that we have learned to take such battles in stride. Pluto symbolizes not only the power we wield but also the power that fellow beings and nature hold over us—the sense that we are powerless and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
