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: ….Guilt may bubble: “If the goal mattered, why wasn’t the grind consistent?” Avoid flagellation. Capricorn values accountability, not self-flagellation. It’s time to draft a corrective protocol—set clear, achievable targets, with realistic timelines, adequate recovery windows—then advance, like only you…
Excerpt: “…Old spiritual injuries—betrayal by gurus, exile from a faith community, ancestral guilt—quiver under the Moon’s glare. Expect nightmares, somatic flashbacks, or a sudden urge to debunk every metaphysical claim on the timeline. Let the scepticism flow….”
Excerpt: “…The axis forms a hydraulic press on every quid‑pro‑quo in your life. Agreements you thought were tidy now reveal escape clauses or hidden interests. Emotional debts surface where financial ones were avoided; family lore about “doing the right thing”…
Excerpt: “..how much are you holding that no longer holds you? Capricorn wants functional partnerships—ones that carry weight, not just sentiment. Cancer, ever attuned to nuance, may instinctively hold more than its share, mistaking emotional intelligence for obligation. But this…
Excerpt: “There’s a metaphorical scalpel hovering over an old emotional balance sheet. Family is almost certainly involved, perhaps even ancestral stuff. Or perhaps it’s literal; connected to finances. Earnings tied to yesterday’s competence may today feel anaemic; obligations signed in…
Excerpt: “…the very friction that threatens to choke delight can compress it into a rarer element. Capricorn moons reward virtuosity through discipline. Children (literal or metaphorical) will test safe boundaries, challenge creative projects, demanding a viable timeline, even casual flirtations…
Excerpt: “…this axis is anything but symmetrical. Home turf in Capricorn rarely pampers and spoils; it measures meanly and holds to account every whim and fancy. Early scripts of approval or discipline still echo in the hallway. At this Full Moon…
Excerpt: “….lighting the corner of your chart that governs preprogrammed thought loops, neighbourly ties, and the sibling interwebs that teach and beseech you how to speak (and hear) hardcore reality aloud. For Scorpios, this is by no means a dreamy…
Excerpt: “By the wee small hours the lunar light condenses into an almost tactile pressure in the solar plexus. It is exhaustion that tastes of iron: the fatigue of shouldering duties that were, in truth, inherited debts masquerading as virtues….
Excerpt: “…it feels as if every external drama mirrors an internal negotiation about your identity itself. Are you the caretaker who softens others’ dread, or the stoic who cracks the crisis with practised efficiency? The right answer is cruelly simple:…
The duty to appoint and meet schedules conflicts with the urge to retreat and engage in soul retrieval; both claim urgency, and neither provides simple, hard-copy confirmation. You may find yourself up, rinsing dishes at 2 a.m. while processing a decades‑old…
Excerpt: “…You might notice long‑standing allies staring back at you like living mirrors of your most serious, mature-acting selves, quietly asking whether the current version of you can still pay the dues, perform as good as you might have when…
