The Full Moon in Taurus, the last SuperMoon of this year (the fourth of 4 consecutive SuperMoons) falls on Sat 16 Nov.  This Full Moon has a very volatile signature with Uranus just one degree away from the Moon.  The Sun will move to exactly conjunct Uranus the following day, suggesting that any events related to this Full Moon could play out over a few days.

As always with a SuperMoon, the Full Moon appears larger and brighter in the sky than usual, and has a much stronger-than-usual effect on us, heightening emotional dramas, overstretching emergency workers, as well as bringing higher tides and extreme weather events.  Uranus is likely to increase the volatility and instability of any event at this time.

Full Moons often bring situations to a head, so be prepared for issues (whether at the personal or collective level) to reach some kind of crisis point where resolution becomes imperative. Any crisis happening now will of course be heightened by the SuperMoon, and made more unstable and perhaps more unexpected by Uranus.

Expect this last SuperMoon at 24 Taurus to reverberate through the British Royal Family, who almost all have placements at or around 24 degrees of the fixed signs – Princess Di’s Venus is at 24 Taurus, Charles’ Sun is at 22 Scorpio.

Prince William’s Venus (which rules his IC) is at 25 Taurus, Prince Harry’s Moon is at 21 Taurus on his IC.  These placements for William and Harry suggest something is likely to come to a head which will impact the family.  Furthermore Prince William’s Mars, his MC ruler, was eclipsed by the recent extremely long solar eclipse on 3 Oct 24, suggesting a new cycle starting for him in terms of status and how he is publicly perceived.  King Charles’ IC was eclipsed by that same recent eclipse – often a portent of a death in the family. Keep an eye on the news!

Check your birth chart to see which house is under the spotlight at 24 degrees Taurus as this is the area of life where matters may come to fruition or reach a crisis point, intensified by the SuperMoon.

This SuperMoon Full Moon is exact at 7.28am Queensland time (AEST) on Sat 16 Nov (the previous day in Europe & the Americas), so the best time for celebration and ceremony will be the previous evening while the energy is building. Expect feelings to run high … it is a SuperMoon after all!

On the day of the Full Moon on Sat 16 Nov,  Saturn goes direct at 12 Pisces following its recent retrograde period.

If your birthday is close to  3 March or this degree is significant in your chart, you will have been feeling the heavy energy of Saturn sitting on this point for the previous couple of weeks, with a further two weeks to look forward to (!).

The energy of Saturn asks us to re-evaluate the area of life it is currently contacting, to take full responsibility for ourselves and our actions, and to cut away any dead wood – which ultimately stimulates new growth.  It is also very good at demanding that we do a reality check. 

The forward motion of Saturn enables us to test and put into practice over the next seven months whatever we have learned about social responsibility, self-discipline and material reality during its recent retrograde phase.

 

The Supermoon Full Moon falls in Pisces on Thurs 31 Aug and the media is awash with stories of a Blue Moon.

But is it a true Blue Moon??

This phrase gets bandied about in the media whenever there are two Full Moons in a calendar month, saying that the second one is a Blue Moon. That’s the popular MSM definition.  It’s almost correct, but not quite!

I’ve always understood the correct astrological definition of a Blue Moon to be when two Full Moons fall in the same zodiac sign, a much rarer instance than two Full Moons falling in the same calendar month.  For this to happen, the first one has to fall at zero or one degrees and the second one at 28 or 29 degrees of the same sign.

The last time that happened was Sun 22 Aug 2021 when we had the second Full Moon in Aquarius (ie a BLUE MOON) at 29 degrees Aquarius.  The first Full Moon in Aquarius had been on 24 July 2021 (ie in the previous calendar month) at 1 degree Aquarius.

So no, sorry to disappoint everyone, but this isn’t a Blue Moon.  The next true Blue Moon will be on 21 July 2024 at 29 Capricorn.

It is of course a Supermoon though – the third of four Supermoons this year, intensifying the Full Moon energy.

As always with a Supermoon, the Full Moon appears larger and brighter in the sky than usual, and has a much stronger-than-usual effect on us, heightening emotional dramas, overstretching emergency workers, and bringing higher tides and extreme weather events.

This Full Moon in Pisces highlights the importance of finding a balance between holding the creative vision (Pisces) yet at the same time paying attention to the mundane details which ground that vision (Virgo).  If these two polarities are out of balance, you either get a vision that can’t be brought through to reality, or one that evaporates and is lost through too much attention to detail.  Full Moons are always about bringing polarities into balance.

This Full Moon could also bring Piscean themes of sacrifice and martyrdom into sharp focus.

Full Moons often bring situations to a head, so be prepared for issues (whether at the personal or collective level) to reach some kind of crisis point where resolution becomes imperative. Any crisis happening now will of course be heightened by the Supermoon.

The Supermoon Full Moon falls at 7 degrees of Pisces and is exact at 11.35am Queensland time (AEST) on Thurs 31 Aug.  The best time for celebration and ceremony will be the previous night while the energy is still building.  Expect feelings to run high … it is a Supermoon after all!

Enjoy the Supermoon! 

Our second Supermoon of this year (of 4) is the Full Moon in Aquarius on Wed 2 Aug.

As always with a Supermoon, the Full Moon appears larger and brighter in the sky than usual, and has a much stronger-than-usual effect on us, heightening emotional dramas, overstretching emergency workers, and bringing higher tides and extreme weather events.

This Supermoon Full Moon in Aquarius highlights the importance of establishing a balance between the needs of the collective and the needs of the individual.

Full Moons often bring situations to a head, so be prepared for collective issues such as those associated with climate change or humanitarian issues such as refugees – to reach some kind of crisis point where resolution becomes imperative.

This Aquarian Full Moon could also bring new and experimental ideas into sharp focus, ideas that are likely to benefit the collective.

The Full Moon falls at 9 degrees of Aquarius and is exact at 4.31am Queensland time (AEST).  The best time for celebration and ceremony will be the previous night while the energy is still building.
