This moon is untamable. Beast, but only a burden if you attempt to bridle it. We have tried to domesticate this virus. To break it in. To subdue it with distance, restrain it with masks, conquer it with soap and vaccines. We have made it our enemy. We have even tried to neutralize it by imagining it as a friend, come to expose the kyriarchy.

Pisces and Virgo form the axis that I call the polarity of healing. Healing, by nature, implies a wound. A sickness that causes suffering. A disease that distorts what once was clear.

The full moon in Leo perfects on Saturday, February 8th, 2020 at 11:33pm. If Leo is the heart, Aquarius is the circulatory system. Leo is magnetic, Aquarius electrifies. Leo centers, Aquarius channels. Leo coheres while Aquarius interrupts. Leo is the core, Aquarius is liberation.

The Full Moon at 19°Gemini52’ perfects at 9:12pm PST on December 11th. The Gemini/Sagittarius polarity reveals to us the trials and requite that comes with seeking and circulating truth. It is also a spectrum that flirts with falsehood in many forms. Gemini and Sagittarius are super seekers. Knowledge whores. Information swindlers and sponsors. Philanthropists, faeries and marauders of nuanced narrative material. They are the key keepers and the open doors. They are the library lenders and the avid young readers. They are the curious kids and the adept ascetics. Perhaps most of all, they are the contradictions and their reconcilers.

On Tuesday, November 12th, the Full Moon perfects at 19°Taurus52’ at 5:34am PDT. In preparing to write your horoscopes this month I’ve been meditating on the mythology of Scorpio and Taurus respectively. Mulling over the myth of Artemis which teaches us about intimacy and intensity and the collapse of self-protective walls that gives way to true sharing. About hyper-vigilance and recognition. About revenge and rage and reactivity and the suddenness of death when it arrives.

On Sunday, October 13th, the Full Moon perfects at 20°Aries14’ at 2:08pm PST.

The configuration around this Moon creates the kind of challenge that will illuminate our unique obstacles to healthy relating.

On Friday, September 13th at 9:33PM PST, the Full Moon perfects at 21°Pisces05’. This Moon might fret with our faith. Might offer us myriad diverging choices that bend as soon as we make them. Might have us sending messages in bottles out to sea or collecting them from strange shores. This Moon asks us to engage Virgo’s various potential resources so we can navigate Pisces’ ever-changing waters.

The Full Moon perfects at 22°Aquarius24’ at 5:29am PST on Thursday, August 15th. Leo and Aquarius sit on what I call the polarity of character.

The Full Moon at 25°Sagittarius53’ perfects at 1:30AM PDT on Monday, June 17th. Sitting with faith-filled Jupiter, this Full Moon is the saving grace of a moment astrologer Austin Coppock has lovingly coined the “meat-grinder”.

The last Full Lunar Eclipse in Leo for the next eight years perfects at 9:16PM PST on Sunday January 20th, 2019. This moon is a celebration of warmth. An explosion of power. An honoring of all the work we’ve done to highlight the heat in our hearts.

Friday, December 21st is the shortest, darkest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. At 2:23pm PST, the Sun enters Capricorn, marking the beginning of winter. For some, this is the beginning of a new year. For all, it represents a cycle re-activated.
