ARIES

Don’t let any blurriness in your big career picture deter you from moving forward. It’s natural to feel uncertain sometimes, but remember that clarity often emerges through action. Instead of getting too far ahead of yourself, as usual, embrace the present moment and focus on the steps you can take right now. This New Moon symbolizes a fresh start, a new beginning with the potential for growth and discovery. Allow yourself to enjoy this phase, appreciating the journey rather than fixating solely on the destination.

TAURUS

This is a great time to focus on your strengths, gifts, and talents and put them into practical application. If you’ve been doubtful about your ability to reach your dreams, you may experience a burst of optimism, realizing they’re not as far out of reach as you once thought.  This is also an ideal period to explore the roots of your insecurities, so you can better challenge those thoughts as they arise, empowering yourself to move forward with confidence.

GEMINI

With the New Moon in Capricorn illuminating your zone of transformation, shift your focus from simply defining who you are to exploring where you truly belong and what makes you feel whole, nurtured, and embodied.  You’d be wise to invest deeply in your inner life, nurturing your personal growth and emotional well-being. Capricorn’s energy supports building strong foundations, so use this period to cultivate a sense of belonging and stability within yourself. 

CANCER

You have to learn on the go and—now more than ever — lean on the people in your life for support. You may not feel grounded during this cosmic period, and that’s OK. It’s a powerful moment to practice vulnerability and learn to ask for help. By doing so, you open yourself up to new perspectives and opportunities for growth. Trust that leaning on others doesn’t diminish your strength; it builds resilience and deepens your connections.

LEO

You may find yourself adopting a more practical approach to your plans, and now is an excellent cosmic moment to be realistic about what you can achieve today. This grounded mindset can help you manage your expectations and limit potential disappointment. Reflect on your goals by asking yourself, How can I take proactive and consistent action toward my goals? or How can I prioritize my well-being as I move forward with my commitments?

VIRGO

This can be a private process, but it should also be deeply creative. Whether you’re making art, writing, or finally expressing yourself authentically, now is the time to bring something beautiful to life. Embrace the opportunity to explore your inner world and translate your feelings and thoughts into a tangible form. This creation journey, even in solitude, can be incredibly fulfilling and transformative. 

LIBRA

With such expansive, explosive influence at the root of your chart, you’re experiencing a powerful reconnection with your influences, ambitions, and dreams—those foundational forces that launched you into the world as an individual. This period offers a chance to reflect on the origins of your journey, the motivations that pushed you to grow, and the dreams that set you on your path. It’s an invitation to reconnect with the essence of your identity and the ambitions that have shaped your trajectory. 

SCORPIO

Today, you may feel an urge to make quick changes and adjustments to your routine, and this can be exactly what you need to break through any stagnancy you’ve been experiencing. It’s an ideal time to challenge and deprogram old beliefs that no longer serve your growth, clearing the way for fresh, forward-thinking strategies. Trust your intuition and welcome the change, knowing it can propel you toward a more dynamic and fulfilling future.

SAGITTARIUS

Lean into what feels natural and fulfilling, allowing your passion and momentum to guide you. The success you’re experiencing isn’t by accident; it results from staying true to your authentic self and the path that aligns with your strengths. Keep going with confidence, refining as you move forward, but don’t feel the need to overcomplicate what is flowing smoothly.

CAPRICORN

You’re stronger now than ever, especially with Pluto having (finally) moved on from your sign, and that’s worth celebrating. Your intense transformation has left you more resilient and empowered, ready to step forward with a renewed sense of self. However, this is also an important moment to soberly examine the areas of your life that may still need coverage, repair, and re-strengthening. While you’ve emerged stronger, it’s essential to acknowledge the places where healing or adjustments are necessary.

AQUARIUS

Stay committed to your weekly workout routine, meditation practice, or creative group. These rituals are vital investments in your ongoing happiness and success. By dedicating time to them, you’re fostering your physical and mental well-being and supporting your long-term goals. Whether it’s through building strength, finding inner peace, or nurturing your creativity, these practices help to keep your subconscious content from spilling over.

PISCES

Focus now on where you want to be, even if you’re uncertain about who will be by your side when you get there. Reflect on where your vision may have been limited — how did you hold yourself back, or where did you settle for less? Consider expanding your reach and purpose beyond what you imagined two months ago. If you do this right, you can ground yourself and your goals into the earth, especially before the season of resolutions fades.

FULL MOON IN GEMINI & THE END OF MERCURY RETROGRADE

Call me at 716 481 2799 for an appointment for a reading.  There are endings and beginnings.  Let’s figure out how to leave 2024 behind and start fresh in 2025.

What happens when Mercury retrograde ends?

When Mercury retrograde ends, it means that the planet of communication, Mercury, no longer appears to be moving backward from Earth’s perspective. This allows people to make more strategic and productive moves. 

However, even after Mercury retrograde ends, there is a period called the post-retrograde shadow, or “retroshade”, that can last for about two weeks. During this time, communication breakdowns and device issues are still likely to occur as Mercury works to regain its full speed. The retroshade period can also be a time to reflect on issues that came up during the retrograde and tie up loose ends. Some say that Mercury retrograde can make people more irritable, unfocused, and prone to misunderstandings and conflicts. However, others say that Mercury retrograde can also be a time to be thorough and perfect performance. For example, people may reconsider their stance during Mercury retrograde, which can sometimes lead to more favorable conditions. 

AND…..

The Cold Moon will arrive on Dec. 15, and occurs as a full moon in Gemini. As we approach the end of 2024, the full Cold Moon will shine in the middle of December, bringing a lively social energy just in time for the holiday season. This year, the Cold Moon occurs as a full moon in Gemini, an air sign associated with communication, technology, and short-distance travel. It encourages mental connections, particularly with those in our immediate circles — friends, neighbors, acquaintances, and siblings. It encourages mental connections, particularly with those in our immediate circles — friends, neighbors, acquaintances, and siblings. We will be motivated to express our minds and may be in the process of launching a significant writing, speaking, advertising, digital or social media project. The Full Cold Moon in Gemini is all about the future. You’ll have deep thoughts and big dreams now that will help you set plans in motion for where you want to be in a few months and even a year from now.

Take the time to think it all through, and allow yourself to think about all of the big changes you could make, if you’re up for it. In the future, you can choose to actually do something about them, or just file them away for another time—it’s ultimately up to you.

This is a great moment to communicate our desires to the world — as well as to others. Writing down explicit statements, manifestation goals, and plans can be particularly useful. Also, as an Air sign, using smoke, sage, or incense can be excellent tools during meditation or ritual.

Potential meditations, mantras or journal prompts:

I learn about the world.
I am confident in my perspective and voice.
I will be curious about everything and choose to grow.
I am limitless, like the sky.
