MOON PHASES (CURRENT SKY)
Gardening with the moon
A beginners guide to gardening with the cycles of the moon.
New Moon in Taurus 27/4/25
Today, an exalted moon rises in the sky. A quiet whisper reminding us of the value of self-worth, self-love love and personal power. The moon is exalted in Taurus as the moon is our emotion and the way we feel secure, and Taurus is a comforting earth sign that revels in stability. The result is finding a way to be grounded, comfortable, secure and emotionally fulfilled.
Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo 14/4/25
How is everyone - did we survive the eclipse? I awoke early this morning and managed to catch a glimpse of the moon setting on the horizon that had a lovely orange tinge to it. Maybe not quite the potent red that many were expecting but definitely in shadow.
Full Moon in Leo 12/2/25
Happy full moon in Leo. 🌕🦁
As we near the end of Aquarius season we hit the full moon in Leo at 24º. Air meets fire in opposition. A desire to be seen on a personal level with the desire to be part of the collective whole. This is a tug of war where we fight from the heart to retain our individuality and stand in our truth whilst showing up to be the best version of ourselves.
New Moon in Aquarius 29/1/25
Aquarius new moons are positively futuristic and that’s exactly where we need to be looking. Aquarius is a masculine yang, fixed, air sign that rules the 11th house of our hopes, dreams and wishes. It also rules community and the collective consciousness. We are invited with this moon to step into alignment with our dreams and be big and bold and courageous in following them. How can we contribute our best version of ourselves into the collective. What do we have to offer?
Full Supermoon In Cancer 13/1/25
The first full supermoon of 2025 sits in the watery sign of cancer - the moons own feminine temple. Next to her is Mars in retrograde as she welcomes him also into her home. Mars has made us look back at what it is we need to feel supported and loved. Mars and the Moon here together are holding our hands to guide us through. This is a strong and powerful moon that is full of drive and will and focus. Mars helps give the energy of action whilst the Moon explores and gives reason to take it. In a sextile to Uranus an electric spark is fired opening portals and possibilities. Uranus wishes for us to be free.
New Moon in Sagittarius 1/12/24
Today is a new moon in the mutual fire sign of Sagittarius. I am loving the feeling of this moon. For me it is fuelled with positive thinking, forward motion and the gift of foresight and that of dreams that come true. Sagittarius is ruled by jovial Jupiter (which incidentally is in loose opposition) - Jupiter expands (it’s a gas giant) so when it touches something it is like a finger of joy that puts a bright sheen where once there was dark. Not only is it new moon but it’s also the first day of December. Sparkle Sparkle - I’m seeing so many put the Christmas decs up early and wishing to bring light into their homes and that touch of magic!
Full Moon in Taurus 15/11/24
Happy full supermoon in Taurus! This moon packs a punch as the last supermoon of the year. A big spotlight is being shone on the areas of our life that need to change. Finding out what what needs to go, what no longer works and gives us an opportunity to use obstacles as stepping stones to reach a higher goal. Uranus is the instigator here being conjunct the moon by a degree. Uranus is the great awakener. It is an erratic planet that doesn’t play by the rules. It even spins sideways in rebellion announcing its uniqueness and standing out from the crowd.
New Moon in Virgo 3/9/24
New moon is here along with a new season drawing in. The leaves are tinging red and there is a chill in the air as we move into September and autumnal months.
New Moon in Leo 4/8/24
This morning the moon and sun aligned to bring a fresh new start full of hope and excitement. The last few months have been testing but we we got through the other side! Leo makes us think of creative pursuits, childlike play and summer days when we relax a while and enjoy ourselves.
Full Moon in Capricorn 21/7/24
Sun at 29º Cancer opposite Moon at 29º Capricorn.
We started the month with a Full moon in Capricorn at 1º - we end it with another at 29º the end of the sign at the anaretic or critical degree - it’s crunch time - what have you realised?
New Moon in Cancer (conjunct Sirius) 5/7/24
A call from home.
On 5 July at 11.57pm the new moon is casting a light on the pool of the emotional water sign of Cancer at 14º23’ in EXACT alignment with the fixed star Sirius. Cancer asks us to trust our emotions and feel from the heart. It is the natural ruler of the fourth house of home in the astrological wheel. Where is home? How does home feel? What do you want to come home to? What is important in your life?
Full Moon in Scorpio 24/4/24
Full moon in Scorpio - Alchemical Illuminations. 🌝🔮
What a powerful full moon last night! Deep and dark Scorpio reached into the depths of our soul and unearthed our anxieties insecurities and fears. Don’t worry if you feel a little on edge today - this is a deep clearing that started with the eclipses and culminates in this powerful lumination. All that we have suppressed has risen. We have been asked to look at our power and be in authenticity. Standing up for ourselves and creating boundaries. Discovering who we are and what has been holding us back. Discarding criticisms from others and comparisons that have created self doubt and stopped us from expressing ourselves with truth.
Full Moon in Virgo 24/02/24
CHOP WOOD CARRY WATER
Today the moon reaches its culmination in the organised, earthy and grounded sign of Virgo. Opposite the sun in dreamy and emotional Pisces we see a blending of equal and opposite energies in which we look at creating structure in order to fulfil our dreams. For we can but dream… however dreaming alone gets us nowhere - the key is to take our dreams and make measured steps to make them a reality. For who wants to live solely in a dream world. It’s time to get real.
New Moon in Aquarius 9/2/24
Tonight is the new moon in Aquarius. It’s also a supermoon kickstarting the first of the super moons for 2024. Sitting at 20º Aquarius and square Uranus it brings an eclectic feel to this new beginning. You just have to love Uranus for that!
Full Moon in Leo 25/01/24
Well crikey that was intense - is everyone ok?!
What a full moon that was to blast off the year. The moon rose in fiery Leo burning off some old karmic toxic waste and invited huge dramatic change to power us into 2024. Sitting at 5º Leo with the sun at 5º Aquarius (check your chart for these placements - (astro.com or my orangemooncat website has a free chart calculator) to see how powerfully affective this was for you) - it highlighted the need to find a balance between the projection of self (Leo) and the interaction you have with others (Aquarius).
New Moon in Capricorn 11/1/24
What a fabulous and positive new moon to start off 2024. New moon in earthy Capricorn gives up a kick up the backside to put things in place in order to achieve our goals over the coming year! Creating foundations for forward movement in a steady and controlled pace. Ridding yourself of outdated ideas, habits and patterns. It’s like looking at those New Year Resolutions one more time and tweaking them to make sure they are feasible! Revise and refine…
Full Moon in Cancer 27/12/23
A beautiful balancing act…
“We make our best decisions in life when we balance our emotions with rational thinking.” Amy Morin
New Moon in Sagittarius 12/12/23
New moon in Sagittarius asks us to look at our dreams and make them come alive. Reassess your goals and go deep inside to see the bigger picture. Trine the North Node (in Aries) there is a lot of fire in this moon propelling us forward and waving goodbye to past mistakes and misshapen ideas. The 12/12 portal is a powerful time to look at our life goals. With Mercury about to turn retrograde in realistic and earthy Capricorn tomorrow this is an excellent time to organise our thoughts and to start laying solid foundations for our future self.
Full Moon in Gemini 27/11/23
Today the moon is full in the creative and energetic communicative sign of Gemini. Gemini is a mutable sign in air. It is curious. This Full Moon asks you to let go of some of your inhibitions that have held you back in the past and start to action many of the thoughts you had back in the new moon in Scorpio.
