Full Moon, Blue Moon, Luna Eclipse all in Leo !

Hold on !  This one feels like “Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh My !!! “

On January 31st, there is a second Full Moon (this time in Leo) and also a total lunar eclipse. So, we need to find some ways to use this strong energy of the double full moon, because we know that the full moon can stir your emotions, but it also can increase the level of your positive energy.

The first month of the year started with and ends with a Full Moon. Is not only that we have 2 Full Moons instead of one within one month, but what makes January so special is that both lunations are super potent – the first one takes place in its home sign Cancer, and the 2nd is a Lunar Eclipse.

At the beginning of the year, when the Sun is at its lowest strength (at least here in the Northern Hemisphere), the Moon is more powerful than ever. The Moon is usually associated with the feminine principle – if you are a woman, in January things will come easier to you. The Moon is – together with Saturn – the most material planet. The Moon manifests whatever the Sun imagines and designs, the Moon is consciousness in action. So you will likely get a lot done in January!

The January Lunar Eclipse has ‘Leo regal’ stamped all over it, and it especially resonates with playing a very Queenly, backstage, strategic role. This Lunar Eclipse makes us warm hosts, who take control of any social situation, making sure that all guests are taken care of. The energy is great for organizing people and events so that the flames of enthusiasm and conviviality forge longstanding alliances.

A good word to describe the Moon in Leo is ‘Gracious’, though in some cases it can be more like ‘Goodness Gracious!’ Indulgence can become a problem if we lay on excessive compliments, gifts and flattery to those we want to court favor with. The Lunar Eclipse can be a great benefactor for the arts and is a protector of children. The protective influence of the great mother bear will be felt strongly and this ramps up the mothering aspect of the Moon.

The Moon soothes down the roaring energy of Leo somewhat, but this decan is still regarded as being ‘Mouthy’. This means the January Lunar eclipse’s energy will be outspoken, fearless in its reasoning and will dive into debates with gusto. This decan of Leo is ruled by Jupiter, so combining Zeus with the Lion King will create someone who relishes power and is very happy to give orders. Those ignited by the January Lunar Eclipse then will be accused of being bossy, but at the same time will be wonderful at organizing, when most people can’t be bothered. You can rely on this Lunar Eclipse January 2018 to cut the crap out of any chaos rather than just faffing-about politely, not wanting to appear rude. A Leo decan 2 Lunar Eclipse does tough-love extraordinarily well, but sometimes make enemies because of this. The roaring mouth of the lion combined with the super-nanny energy of Ceres will never sugarcoat.

At this Lunar Eclipse January 2018, the environment or culture is a big theme. Luxury and indulgence are also amplified. There is a need to possibly forgo the immediate stimulation of the senses in favor of one’s duty to nurture the sick.

This is not a great eclipse to have an affair! If you do happen to be in the midst of one, there is a danger of getting caught with your pants down. Lovers might find that their sweetheart is actually married, or a spouse discovers an affair. Lunar Eclipses have a habit of bringing secrets to the surface. There is definitely a theme of the seductive but possibly shallow lover versus the dutiful but dull spouse. It’s a cliché, but the archetypes are hard to ignore when you have Sun/Venus/South Node in exciting and rebellious Aquarius opposite Moon/Ceres/North Node in stately Leo. The official spouse has the winning hand though, so give up gracefully if you are the master/mistress!

For the Lunar Eclipse January 2018 in the mundane world, there could be some so-called ‘s**t shaming’ which is such an ugly term.. This works also in the business world too where a boss might want a rebrand and replace their scruffy old (But wise) staff with shiny new hipsters. Again, this Lunar Eclipse means any forced redundancies will be very vocal about their plight.

Another possibility at this January Lunar Eclipse in 2018 is an attempt to replace a lovely old building with some modern carbuncle. The environment theme will ensure there will be protests at any schemes that are not in keeping with the rest of the town’s architecture. The victorious solution will have nature and classical proportions on its side.

Happy New Moon In Capricorn

  Tuesday, January 16.  New Moon In Capricorn

The time for play is over, because today’s new moon in Capricorn is serious business. The Goat’s energy resonates responsibility and discipline, and if you can find a way to harness its practical and reliable power, you can do some spectacular things. Of course, the energy of most aspects is dependent on what you do with it, so you have to make up your mind to move in a positive direction under this new moon. Don’t let the fear of repeating past mistakes stop you from getting what you want now.

*NEW MOON* in Capricorn is calling us to rise from within and move forward with our deepest Knowing. We began the year coming to terms with what is no longer working and what needs to be let go of and now it’s time to move onward and trust in the unknown journey that awaits.  The beauty is we can choose to learn from our past and use our experiences as the fertile soil that will one day shoot new sprouts.

The new moon on Tuesday January 16, 2018 at 26 degrees Capricorn is the last moon phase before a new series of eclipses. This does influence the astrology of New Moon January 2018 as it creates a rush to finish long-term projects you began within the last five months. If your goals have anything to do with love or money you will be happy. The new moon aligns nicely with beautiful Venus the planet of love and harmony.

The January 2018 new moon does, however, make a hard aspect to Uranus which brings unexpected change and uncertainty. But a better aspect to strong and sexy Mars comes to the rescue to resolve any crisis and ignite the flames of love.

“Saturn in its own sign is like Saturn squared. “One of our major purposes now is learning to bring our spiritual legacy down into our physical, daily, middle world lives.

“We’ve been to the underworld and know our shadow areas; we’ve been to the upper worlds and touched into Spirit, now our task is to bring that powerful knowledge into fruition in the physical world.“Capricorn rules the bones, the foundation of the body, where our stability comes from and where we store our most ancient patterns.

“Capricorn’s mission as guardian of the community is to preserve stability, to build on what has gone before, and to protect.  She guides us to ask, ‘what are the consequences of our actions, what do we aspire to as a community, how do we insure what we value persists and grows?’

Venus will change signs the day after New Moon moving into Aquarius just two days before the Sun also moves into Aquarius bringing some much needed air element into our planetary influences.

Happy Full Super Moon !

The Wolf Moon on the night between 1 and 2 January 2018 is a Supermoon. The following Full Moon is also in January, on the 31. It has no given name, which makes it a Blue Moon. However, this particular Blue Moon will likely look red in some areas, because it will cause a total lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon.

The full moon on Monday January 1, 2018 is at 11 degrees Cancer. The astrological influence of full moon January 2018 comes mainly from an opposition to Venus. This will highlight the differences in love and affection felt between partners.

2018 swings into gear with a Super Full Moon in the sign of Cancer. This Full Moon will be helping to bring closure to the energy of December 2017, and will be guiding you to the theme for the year ahead.

Falling on the 1st-2nd of January, the Super Full Moon in the sign of Cancer is extremely sensitive and intuitive and will be beckoning all of us to take a deeper look at the health of our mind, body and spirit.

If you’ve been neglecting yourself or doing things just to please others, you may find that this lunar energy forces you to take a few steps back and relax.

January’s Full Moon comes as a reminder to nurture and care for yourself and to pay attention to any nagging health concerns. It is also the perfect time to think about how you can honor and care for yourself in the new year.

If 2017 has brought up challenges for you, or if you’ve been dealing with things like stress and anxiety for some time, 2018 would be the perfect year to make some changes.

Doing things to support your health such as taking a yoga class, finding a good acupuncturist for any lingering injuries or starting counseling, are all great ways to support yourself and make use of this energy.

The January Full Moon is extremely potent, so it is likely that whatever needs your attention is going to be revealed to you in a clear and obvious way. There is no guess work when it comes to this Full Moon, so trust whatever signs come your way and be open to following your feelings.

The strength of this Full Moon is also going to be guiding us to reflect on the year gone by and to prepare for what’s ahead.

Since 2016, we have been dealing with a lot of fire and air based energy. This created the theme of new beginnings, restructuring the way we think, and learning how to take action. While this theme will progress for the first few months of the year, this Full Moon points us to a new phase that will soon be opening.

This new phase holds strong earth and water energy, so instead of focusing on taking action and getting caught up in cognitive processes, we are going to be guided to strengthen the actions we have taken and to move out of our heads and into our hearts.

Under the presence of this earth and water energy, we are all going to be strengthening the foundation of our lives and learning to tune into the innate wisdom of our heart and soul.

Seeing as this Full Moon falls in the watery sign of Cancer and the Sun is currently in earthy Capricorn, it is going to offer us the first glimmer of this water/earth energy and will be reminding us to tune into the wisdom and intuition that lies within.

We all have our own guidance system and the more we can tap into it, the easier it will be to access the intelligence of the Universe.

Full Moons always guide us to release, so the first few weeks of January 2018 are also going to be a great time to shake off the energy of 2017 so you can start fresh.

Under the light of this Super Full Moon, pay attention to any feelings that may come up for you. Instead of getting caught up in your head, focus on breathing the emotions through the body.

Allow yourself to really experience all you are feeling and see how that helps to shift things.

What you resist persists, so give yourself permission to feel and release anything that needs to go.

Cleanse your energy and ask your spirit guides or higher self to release any energy that is not yours to carry.

Be gentle with yourself and focus on how you can love and support yourself more. When you make yourself your biggest fan, there is no mountain too tall and no feat too great.

2017 brought many new beginnings, and now we are all going to be able to build and create with what we have been given.

2018 is really a year of manifestation and building. It’s a time where we can really take what has been given to us and build upon it in a way that supports our highest goals, dreams and wishes.

It’s a gentle year that will allow us to focus on the wellbeing of our mind, body and spirit, for this is the only way we can be in balance and feel energized and supported to lead the life we desire.

This full moon should shed more light on recent high-profile cases of sexual misconduct in the media. What one person thinks is flirting is often felt as sexual harassment by another person, especially when there is a power imbalance. Whether it be a lovers tiff or all out war, full moon January 2018 offers great potential for love, compassion, peace and forgiveness.
