Q: When is a Full Moon not Full? A: When it is being eclipsed.
Visibly, the penumbral lunar eclipse will appear like a minor moon event. At its height (04:22 EST), you might be lucky to see faints shades of a penumbral light-charcoal grey or brownish hue on the moon’s upper edge.
Astrologically though, this eclipse is a major harbinger for a collective evolution since it makes an almost precise alignment to the trans-Neptunian duel going on between Pluto/Eris (transmute or be extinct). I covered the intricacies of this dynamic and its impact on our societies in some detail in my recent newsletter.

This Eclipse and the Total Solar which will follow in two weeks are beaming light from the Sagittarius South Node end, which generally tends to dredge out the worst in us since it’s highlighting all the nasty stuff we need to leave behind.
Also, its ruler, Jupiter, is not only trudging through its most debilitating sign (Capricorn), but besieged between the harsh Saturn and Pluto the jovial Jove is feeling far from jolly.

This is seriously not a time for excesses and grandiose displays of moral righteousness. Big, ‘asshole-type’ moves not only make it easier to be spotted, but adversely more difficult to find our place in society – a calling which seems most critical to ensure our survival.
Whether we like it or not, we must learn to get along, and unless we stop, listen carefully to one another and try to see things from each other’s perspective, we are almost certainly going to find ourselves at war with all our neighbours. Anyway, if you want to put a theory to the test, try to be a bigshot… see what happens.
I will leave it at that for now, reminding you of my newsletter message: If you’re given a choice between being righteous and being kind, take the kind…

Excerpt: “…The Scorpio New Moon offers visibility. Brutal, fluorescent, unforgiving transparency into exactly how your mind works. Every casual “I’ll sort it”, every midnight struggle-session where you tried to outrun the avalanche by pulling an all-nighter, every moment you smiled…
Excerpt: “…This Scorpio New Moon marks the moment when joy, faith, and belonging all submit to the same ruthless criterion: if it doesn’t smell honest, you leave. Not gradually. Not with a long explanatory email. Not after one more attempt…
Excerpt: “…When your career or reputation unexpectedly mutates without permission, the fury travels downward, through the floorboards, into your kitchen, your bedroom, into cellular memories of your parents’ house, into ancient resentment towards whoever first made you feel unsafe in…
Excerpt: “…the truth you’re excavating from your own mental archives carries exactly that quality—liberating but also infuriating, in equal measure. Especially when you realise how much of your so-called clarity has just been high-functioning anxiety dressed up in a lab…
Excerpt: “…You’re noticing, perhaps for the first time, how you’ve commodified your own magnetism. If you stop being endlessly fascinating, perpetually available, aesthetically irreproachable, emotionally competent beyond means and measure, will anyone still find you valuable? You hussy! Do…
Excerpt: “…The more you try to control the narrative, the more others tend to go radically off-script, often doing things that defy the natural flow of the affair. Even people you thought were predictable are now improvising like feral jazz…
Excerpt: “…you’re discovering that your world-famous optimism might be the most elaborately crafted interpretation of all. Or was it all a misinterpretation? Never mind. The memories surfacing now, courtesy of Mercury’s backstage pass into Scorpio arrive with their emotional charge…
Excerpt: “… scenes play out in conference rooms, group chats, planning committees, social gatherings where someone’s child or lover behaves “inappropriately” and suddenly everyone sees the scaffolding. Someone finally calls out the manipulation that everyone pretends not to notice. Screenshots…
Excerpt: “You might find yourself questioning the true nature of authority—how you wield it and how it is exercised over you. Situations may arise that expose hidden agendas or manipulative dynamics within your workplace or public engagements. This is not…
