Scorpio Full Moon
22 degree @ 12:56 pm EDT

As the Sun and Moon are in opposition it’s a culmination of energy at fulfilment. The dark matter of Scorpio unleashes a torrent of emotions as Uranus cracks everything wide open.

The Sun exposes and brings the hidden parts into the light.

Juno, symbolizes (marriage) partnership, is conjunct the Moon indicating a purge, a revelation, or a transformation. What emotional truth has been hiding in the shadows?

With Mercury, the messenger, square Pluto, delving into the mystery— what’s hidden from view may take on an obsessive quality. Getting to the bottom of things — the truth will be important to you.

At times a truth is standing in front of you clear as day, but you are the only one who cannot see it.

Trust the divine timing of all that comes to light.

Libra Full Moon @ 23° 19’
April 12, 2025 5:22 pm pacific time

Chiron is cuddled up with the Aries Sun that feels touchy. During this time, you may feel quite sensitive and vulnerable to your own infallibility. Lessons about the ego, the person you strive to be are left with a reminder that you cannot do it all alone.

There is beauty in vulnerability as it leaves a piece of you defenseless. It is a moment of weakness that draws the right people to step in on your behalf. Maybe it is a kindness, an acceptance that is often missing when you are too strong, too walled off, or too protected to let others in.

In these moments, you witness a crack in the armor that needs repair. Who will come to your aid? Will you let them?

The beauty of a Libra Moon is that it reminds us of the harmony of relationships. No man is an island unto himself. Come down from your isolated tower and join with another. Take a chance on the beauty of enjoying time with others.

Open your heart and make space to see your light reflected in another’s eyes.

The Sun in Aries is a cue to take action, protect, and focus on the self. Yet the receptive Libra Moon is opposite the sun (sun opposite moon = full moon). In this
symbolism, we are reminded of the need to balance the “I” versus the “we.”

I love Full Moons in Libra as the relationship is our greatest teacher. Our interactions with others shows us a truth about ourselves.

Enjoy this Full Moon!

New Moon - Partial Solar Eclipse

Saturday, March 29, 2025 @ 3:57 am

9° 00’ Aries ♈️

WHAT’S AN ECLIPSE?

In ancient cultures, a solar eclipse was an event that was met with fear. What occurs is a momentary “black out,” an interruption of life-sustaining light. Without understanding what is happening, this would be frightening. In our era of scientific knowledge, most understand the basics of the solar system and the cyclical planetary motions.

This time, there is a partial solar eclipse, and it will be visible in part of the Northern Hemisphere. The Northeastern US will have a limited view, while the upper regions of Canada, Greenland, and Russia — all areas close to the North Pole will have the most visibility.

In those areas, they will experience a partial Moon shadow cast over the Sun. Solar eclipses occur about every six months. We will not always experience them as they occur in different locations all across the globe. Just because we cannot witness it, does not mean it is not happening.

The path of the solar eclipse is the area where the eclipse is most strongly felt.

Greenland’s land mass is within the path of the greatest visibility.

Since April 2023, we’ve had a series of eclipses on the Aries - Libra axis. This is the work we’ve been doing to grow in our relationships, balanced within our own sovereignty and individual nature. Simply put, it is the growth, attention, and balance we achieve within the realm of the “I” versus the “WE.”

ASTROLOGICAL SYMBOLISM
ARIES SOLAR ECLIPSE

Whenever we have an eclipse, it is an intense time of focused energy. It is “...constantly engulfed by the flow of the cosmic energy streaming out from the center of this galaxy, over and around the Sun and planets of our system. It creates a galactic cosmic field of a certain nature…” Interpreting the Eclipses, Robert Carl Jansky.

Eclipses are marked by endings and beginnings. Secretly, we weave the struggles into the stories that connect with our identity. Sharing our humanity is a luxury, we often don’t allow ourselves to be vulnerable and connect. Yet, it is our reflection witnessed through the eyes of another, where we see clearly.

Like a quiltmaker, sew the small, often disparate pieces of your life together, and witness a pattern of wholeness, continuity, and purpose. Step into the sun’s warmth, gather courage, and embrace that inner bravery.

This Aries eclipse is calling upon your courage to take the initiative.

Like nature, lean into the Sun and grow.

ACTIVE ASPECTS:

✨ VENUS - PLANET OF LOVE

Yesterday, Venus rx entered Pisces and is conjunct Neptune. Our visions of love are in question as we cannot see clearly. Neptune brings a grand vision, illusion, fantasy or deception and love can show up in any iteration along this spectrum line.

If you are not clear which one for you, wait until Venus goes direct and moves away from Neptune’s influence.

✨ MERCURY - THE MESSENGER OF THE GODS

Mercury rx enters Pisces on Saturday and adds to the same flavor as Venus. This time our communication is blurry and not well defined. It is like speaking into the wind. Can anyone hear you? Wait until April 7 or shortly after for clarity.

✨ NEPTUNE - THE DREAMER

On April 30, Neptune enters Aries and begins a sojourn into a more impulsive sign. Dreams can come into fruition if you take initiative and action. The spiritual can become actualized. Connect with your visions for the future, then take courageous actions. We will see Neptune volley between Pisces and Aries this year as it prepares for its 12-year journey through the sign of Aries. What are the areas of life will this energy be lighting up for you? (Check which house is occupied by Aries for you.)

Even though it was a super stormy day, high winds and rain, the clouds parted just as I walked outdoors.

I caught a glimpse of the reddish Moon high in the sky surrounded by clouds. I snapped this picture, spun around to enjoy a clear patch of stars in the northern sky.

As soon as I glanced back at the Moon, she dashed behind a cloud. ☁️ I’m feeling lucky to catch a glimpse of this eclipse!

ECLIPSE VIBE
TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE visible tonight

Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse
March 13, 2025 @23° 56’ Virgo
11:54 pm Pacific Time

BIG ENERGY
Overall, the energy is a bit unstable and you may feel a bit uneasy. This is a year with massive changes taking effect. March is powerful with an eclipse and a major energy shift. with Neptune.

The eclipse energy is potent, especially as the Moon is opposite the Sun, Saturn (restrictions) Neptune (illusion/visions), and the North Node (soul purpose) all in Pisces. Eclipses bring about beginnings and endings and last up to six months. Full Moons cast light on what is hidden and out of sight, so we may be in for a revelation.

Eclipses occur approximately every six months and divinely align with the nodal axis. The eclipse path is only visible over part of the earth. This is why some eclipses are more of a “big deal” than others. This one is visible (at midnight) over much of North America. Wherever it is visible is most acutely impacted.

This lunar eclipse in Virgo cozies up with the South Node and has a flavor of past karma at play. Virgo is about the details and a sense of order that is essential to feel calm right now. What is entering or leaving in your life right now? Pay attention over the next few months to this theme.

MESSAGES AWAITING
With all of the planets in Pisces, there is a higher order message being delivered. Are you listening? Discipline and responsibility are on tap to bring a practical approach to the disorder, chaos, and change that is afoot. Bring your dreams into reality and do the heavy lifting required to bring it into fruition.

If you have planets near 23° Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius, or Gemini you’ll be feeling it more than others. If you need to run a free copy of your chart, please get a copy of your free chart on my website. https://www.sarabourland.com/freechart

On March 30, Neptune is moving out of Pisces and into Aries. It will be in transition volleying between these two signs during this year. This is a massive change and is asking that you connect your visions for the future, then take courageous action.

Mercury is station right now and will be retrograde March 15 - April 7 when it moves stationary direct. As always with Mercury retrogrades, slow down and evaluate, pause and reflect. It is a time of review, reknew, and reflect.

I’m giving a talk in person at the Tucson Astrologers' Guild on the Moon’s symbolism and the hard aspects. This is a vast territory that is often simplified or overlooked.
Saturday, March 15, 2025, from 1:00 - 2:45 pm.

Join me and then hear Lisa Warman on Midlife Transits from 3:00-4:00 pm. Both talks are included with the registration.

LUNAR WISDOM:
The Moon represents a rich territory of meaning surrounding mother, nurturance, safety, security, ancestry, and the emotional body. Her symbolism is foundational to our inner life, the story we tell ourselves, and our security within the world.

Nothing can bring us to our knees and challenge us to grow more than the hard aspects of the Moon. We all have trials and challenges, but bringing these into the light can be incredibly healing. Isn’t this why we all were attracted to astrology, to begin with?

Whether a newbie or a skilled pro, join Sara as we unpack the symbolism and the hard aspects of the Moon. It’s always good to circle back around to the Moon’s wisdom. Bring any charts you want to examine as you follow along.

ENVISION THE NEW

Pisces New Moon
Thursday, February 27, 2025
09° 40’ Pisces @ 5:44pm MST / 4:44 pm Pacific

The Sun and Moon meet in the western sky at sunset tonight. They slip together below the horizon and awaken a dark, star-filled sky. The Pisces symbolism captures a dreamy, creative, visionary mood. This is a nod to a time of dreaming and imagining what –– could be.

The Pisces vibe may be carried by a mystic muse who shares a poem that invigorates your senses, lights up your creativity, and stirs the questions that lie dormant within the dark recesses of your soul.

Let the words and imagery take you away.

OR

Maybe the Pisces vibe is getting lost in music so immersive that you choose to lounge on the floor all night with headphones on and stare at the candlelit shadows dancing on the ceiling.

Let the music take you away.

Whatever the experience, Pisces is mystical and otherworldly. It is a pleasure to be taken to another dimension, to fantasize and dream.

Let Pisces take you away.

In this Pisces New Moon time of visioning, seeing what does not yet exist, we are allowed to play and assume no boundaries to our imagination. Be childlike in our powerful journey to what –– could be. With Pisces, the possibility is limitless.

There is a stellium, a pile-up, of planets throughout Pisces. Saturn, Mercury, North Node, and Neptune in Pisces place an extra focus on using your imagination to see what is around the corner.

AN END GIVES WAY TO A BEGINNING

This month the symbolism of endings and beginnings shows up multiple times.

First, New Moons mark the end of a cycle when the Moon’s reflected light disappears. Then, as the Moon passes the Sun, she steps out of his blinding light and begins to grow in light, during this waxing phase. This is a time ripe for individuation.

Second, the New Moon is at 9° Pisces. Nines in numerology represent endings. New Moons mark the end of a cycle when the Moon’s reflected light disappears. This begs the question, what needs completion in your life? ...
