“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.” ~Mark Twain

With Uranus, life circumstances carry an element of surprise, so be set for the unexpected: rude awakenings, sudden insights, abrupt changes in mood, decisions that feel like they come out of nowhere.

We are not negotiators but harbingers of truth; this lunation is no truce but a judgment day, a call for the reckoning we can no longer delay.

Here, we see how when one individual is targeted or cast aside, the ripple effect threatens us all. Unchecked forces consume everything—even the very foundations we thought they’d protect.

“You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.” ~ George Orwell, 1984

"Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn't matter; only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you-that would be the real betrayal." ~Orwell, 1984

As linear time begins to collapse, many of us are starting to observe a higher reality, that there is no separation. Everything is one.

“They gave Pandora a box. Prometheus begged her not to open it. She opened it. Every evil to which human flesh is heir came out of it. The last thing to come out of the box was hope. It flew away.”~KV

“When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity.” ~Dale Carnegie

Every Full Moon beckons the end of something. Under this unyielding second serve, the time has come to confront harsh truths and fortify your sanctuary amidst the chaos.

Only in our aloneness do we find both freedom and safety to truly be ourselves.

Every Full Moon beckons the end of something. Under this one, prepare to confront harsh truths and fortify your sanctuary amidst the chaos.

This New Moon forces us to bring radical open-mindedness into our systems of rigorous scrutiny, separating profound truths from widespread nonsense, examining both old and new ideas.

The challenge here is recognising that access to all the knowledge in the world is futile if it does not contribute to our wisdom and understanding.

Under a Taurus New Moon, we learn that there are no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have chosen to become whole.

An astrological dissertation of current themes, as highlighted by this lunation.

"Three things cannot be long hidden: The Sun, The Moon, and The Truth." Here is an astrological synopsis for this special lunation.

In times of profound change, the most open-minded, innovative and adaptable shall inherit the Earth. Those willing to learn and grow discover themselves perfectly equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. All that’s required is to risk taking the first step in trusting that the universe, which is abundant and loving, is always going to provide us with everything necessary to complete our mission....

A New Moon is forming seven days after the Cancer Solstice, generating a wealth of sentiment in every heart and mind, a call to connect to one's home, family, and ancestral roots as the Sun and Moon now align in this most personal of all the water signs...

...the New Moon in Gemini foreshadowed a lunar cycle whose primary intent was to raise conscious awareness of new ideas and information currently being seeded and circulated through mundane channels of communication, media and trade. After two weeks, the Moon's transit through the zodiac into Sagittarius produces a full reflective glow to the Gemini Sun, allowing us to examine how well those ideas are integrated into the bigger picture...

On Monday, May 30, the Gemini lunation comes to us like a post in the mail, not unlike this message. It informs us that we must gather only those things that are vital and relevant, and be ready, mentally, emotionally and spiritually for what is coming...

Of all the signs, the impact of a Scorpio lunation coincides with the most intensely personal, emotionally longest-lasting endings, deaths and transitions in our lives, for it is in this fixed-watery sign that the Moon is at its utmost detriment (fall), where emotional experiences are concentrated, condensed and intensified...

On this first-quarter moon phase, we are squarely in the energetic slump between these two eclipses and while thoughts may stray to those less fortunate, runaway egos and enlivened spirits can make even the most depressed people come alive.

Eclipse time, and one can sense that our lives are all on the precipice of an emerging new world order. Or is it merely 'old world disorder'?

Under this glowing Libra Full Moon, we may see our world divided into two parts: One is where we are together with our beloveds, and there is all harmony, hope, and light; the other is where we are not, and there is sadness, anger and darkness. This Moon holds up to our face some crucial questions in the eternal struggle between war and peace...

The Aquarian lunation is the penultimate phase of the Sun's journey through the zodiac. The icy breezes of this fixed air sign cut through our Sol like a cold wintry blast. Where the glacier meets the Aquarian skies, the land ceases to be earthly, becoming one with the heavens.

This lunation becomes a high-water mark in the ongoing saga for authoritarian control. Instinctively, individuals will seek to take control of their private lives and resume control over their own family and domestic matters, refusing to acknowledge others in positions of authority.

The Sun/Moon in Capricorn is a conscious alignment with the unconscious, instinctive nature, blessing the soul to embody and manifest our dutiful part in the greater cause. Each of us must walk our destined path. It is not a ready-made path, but one which we determine by continuing to struggle forward in our walking.

Here, the Gemini Full Moon generates some degree of self-effacement, perhaps conflict against the Sagittarian Sun as the two luminaries try to show us how to blend our need to satisfy the values of intellectual curiosity with the desire to form a cogent sense of morality.

Eclipses produce powerful awakenings, brought about by sudden, unexpected incidents or encounters that jolt our lives into a new direction. They are often not what we expected, yet we realize that we should have expected as much and nothing less when we look back...

This potent eclipse offers us all a phenomenal awareness that even the most painful circumstances can lead us to deeper understand­ing and constructive action.

It is New Moon again - the synodic reset between the Sun and Moon's cyclical rhythm. At this time of the month, we have a chance to purge old, stagnant energies that accumulate in the body and begin to refresh them with new ones.

Full Moons are times of culmination. Blessed by the complete light of both Sun and Moon, these illuminated days and nights in our lunar calendar are times when we will make all important decisions...

The Full Moon, occurring in the final stages of the Virgo/Pisces dichotomy, is a culmination, where energies dissipate. Here, decisions must be made, agreements reached, rewards accepted, and things must end in certain circumstances, or we capitulate to spare more losses.

At this moment, something urgent and profound is coming through. Though it may seem shocking and totally unexpected, you may soon come to admit that it was indeed expected, you just refused to prepare, and now it's here...

At the height of this Full Moon, our primal energies pull apart. There is an incongruency between the will and the emotions; an instinctive urge to pull away from the source, often reflected in our relationships.

At the height of this lunation (Sunday, August 08, 13:51 UTC), we draw from the tremendous synergy of the Moon (instincts) aligning with the Sun (conscious will). The fusion of these two primal energies at 16°14' generates a powerful urge within each of us to stand for who we are; to express our principles and beliefs with a firm sense of confidence and pride, and a willingness to do whatever is necessary to preserve and maintain our own, distinct identity.

Full Moons bring us moments of tremendous illumination. With the Sun's entry into Leo, the energies of this lunation are fresh and potent because they occur at the critical first degree. Hence, their symbolism is raw and strikingly obvious. The Moon's opposition to the Leo Sun from Aquarius reveals two very diametrically opposing realities...

The Cancer New Moon, the last of this year's supermoons, is also perhaps the most personal since its cardinal watery nature activates the maternal, nurturing, protective instincts in us all...

At the Cancer Solstice, the Sun represents a powerful turning point in our year. Here, his light is directed inwardly, to our innermost private, precious and personal areas. From this point, we are blessed with the meta-awareness to instinctively feel our way through all the intimate areas of our lives...

In all respects, the Solar Eclipse returns a surge of mental energy into the collective after the May 26 Blood Moon's Energetic Shutdown. We can expect enormous amounts of old news to come to the surface, disrupting our way of thinking and raising a plethora of new questions about what indeed constitutes our truth.
