New Moon in Cancer 2023

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

This new moon highlights some long running trends in the heavens.  Pluto is hovering at the last degrees of Capricorn where he will stay until January 2024 when he revisits Aquarius.  This intensifies the collapse of old systems and structures, as the powers that be tighten their grip as a last ditch attempt to hold on to power. Pluto is in a square aspect to the nodal axis until November 2023, intensifying pressure to evolve to a higher level of consciousness and destroying all that is not in alignment.

Significantly, ​hours​​ after this new moon, the nodal axis shifts from the Taurus (North Node) / Scorpio (South Node) axis to the Aries /Libra axis of relationship. The nodes change signs every 18 months and indicate a new karmic cycle.  The Libra Aries focus is on releasing (South Node) what is weighing us down, especially in relationships, and embracing (North Node) our sense of self and self direction.

The new moon in Cancer opposes Pluto and squares the nodes, forming a dynamic and action orientated grand cardinal cross.  Cancer is the sign of emotions, home, family, nurture, mother, the past, memory, habitual patterns and emotional safety and security.  The Moon is at home in Cancer, the sign of her rulership, supporting us to connect with our emotional body.  Pluto’s influence helps us to feel intense emotions and release emotional blockages, clearing the path for a rebalancing in our relationship dynamics.

Neptune trines the new moon, bringing a spiritual quality of the divine feminine cosmic mother.  Uranus sextiles the new moon, bringing change and helping to transform outdated habitual patterns.  There is a transpersonal and karmic quality to this new moon, with all three transpersonal planets as well as the nodes influencing the new moon.

Venus is nearing her retrograde through Leo, emphasising the focus on rethinking relationships, values, finances and matters of the heart.

​​This is a period of heightened sensitivity and intense comic activity, so the Moon in Cancer reminds us ​​to​​ gently nurture and nourish ourselves as we ride the cosmic waves.

New Moon in Gemini 2023 and June Solstice

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

The new moon in Gemini occurs 3 days before the June solstice, a major transition point in the year.  Gemini is a sign of connection, communication, information gathering, sociability and exchange of ideas. As an air sign Gemini resonates with the mental realm of thoughts and beliefs.  Gemini flits from one thing to another with ease and lightness, a social butterfly or a buzzing bee germinating and pollinating ideas. It is active, light, and busy. This new moon aligns with Juno, the long-suffering wife of Jupiter.  As the wife of the ruler, Juno, was the protector and counsellor of the … Continue reading →

New Moon in Pisces 2023

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

A new moon in Pisces is the last of the astrological year and typically represents endings and completion, Pisces being the last sign of the zodiac. Pisces is symbolised by two fish swimming in circular and seemingly opposite directions, representing the dual and cyclical nature of the cosmic journey. The watery mutable energy of Pisces lifts us to a new level of spiritual, mystical and creative experience, almost other worldly.  It is highly emotional and tuned into the collective consciousness, acting like a psychic sponge.  Pay attention to your dreams, intuition and creative instincts at this time. Saturn is conjunct … Continue reading →

Full Moon in Leo 2023

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

The full moon in Leo blazes with heart centred energy inviting us to ignite our personal creativity and passion.  It is warm, playful and confident and often enjoys the limelight.  Leo is the regal sign of the king of the jungle and inspires and leads.  This is balanced by an opposition with the Sun in Aquarius, the sign of the people, the community, freedom and liberation for all. Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, is in a square aspect to the Sun and Moon, forming a tense T Square dynamic.  This creates disruption and volatility that shakes us up into a … Continue reading →

New Moon in Capricorn December 2022

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

The last new moon of 2022 marks a turning point in the 3 year process we have been experiencing since January 2020, when Saturn was conjunct Pluto in Capricorn followed by Saturn squaring Uranus.  The last 3 years would have been unimaginable prior to 2020; a global pandemic, lockdowns, high levels of control on the public, limitation to freedoms and movement, constraints, volatile financial markets and governments, war in Ukraine and abuse of power by governments.  Unsustainable systems and structures lacking integrity are collapsing. These aspects are now loosening and their influence is waning. The Capricorn new moon on 23rd … Continue reading →

New Moon in Sagittarius November 2022

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

A crucible has been figuratively defined as a transformative experience through which an individual comes to a new or altered sense of identity. This often happens through times of adversity where character is tested and great strength is required. Crucible in the literal sense is used in the context of metallurgy, the science of working with and refining metals, and is a heat-resistant container used to melt metals. Since the Pluto Saturn conjunction of 2020, immense pressure has been placed on our structures both collectively and individually, almost to the point of collapse.  Uranus in a long running square to … Continue reading →

Full Moon in Taurus November 2022 Total Lunar Eclipse

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

The Full Moon in Taurus opposite the Sun in Scorpio is a powerful and potentially game changing Total Lunar Eclipse.  Lunar Eclipses occur when there is a special alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth such that the Earth’s shadow falls across the Moon and temporarily blocks its illumination by the Sun.  Astrologically this can only occur when the Sun and Moon are in close proximity to the Nodes, indicating karmic release and sling shotting us forward into a new potential reality. The Sun, Mercury and Venus are conjunct the South Node all in Scorpio, the sign of power, control, … Continue reading →

New Moon Eclipse in Scorpio October 2022

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

This month’s new moon in the transformative and powerful sign of Scorpio is intensified by being a partial solar eclipse. Eclipses occur when the Luminaries (Sun and Moon) are within 18 degrees of the lunar nodes.  This new moon is a south node eclipse. The South Node represents our individual and collective past, unconscious habits and patterns, baggage, karma as well as gifts and talents.  The South Node is also associated with a sense of draining or being pulled back to old dynamics.  Combined with the Sun and Moon in the deeply emotional sign of Scorpio, there is potential for … Continue reading →

New Moon in Libra September 2022

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

The new moon in Libra highlights fairness, choice, equality, peace and justice.  Libra is typically focused on others, on relationship and partnership and striving to create beauty, balance and harmony often through diplomacy and compromise. The Equinox a few days earlier on 23 September marks the changing of the season and a new three month quarter cycle.  Combined with the Equinox, the new moon is an opportunity to rebalance and reassess what or who is working or not working in your life.  Where might you be focusing on others to your own detriment? Jupiter the planet of expansion, wisdom and … Continue reading →
