iPhone snaps of this evening’s Full Moon rise over Helderberg mountain. Close up of the Moon via iPhone held over telescope’s eyepiece. This Ta**us partially eclipsed Full Moon, with Jupiter nearby, and opposite Mars in Scorpio completes the 2023 eclipse cycle. And what a potent eclipse series from March/April and Sept/Oct this foursome has turned out to be. Eclipse energy is reflective/inward. In Ta**us, recognition that our human form is made of the same elemental matter that formed the planets and other solar system members. An inward reflection of how Jupiter’s excessive expression can compromise the human body’s functions and connection to the very essence of the life force that animates, inspires, and connects and interconnects us. Potent times. As Mars continues its Scorpio transit through Nov 24, we recognize that true peace requires compassion, an open heart, and a willingness to find common ground. While this potent lunar cycle will impact some on a personal level, the presence of expansive Jupiter near the Moon and Mars in its home sign, this vibration will affect entire societies. The coming 2024 will be a year to remember!

We arrive at the most potent of New Moon’s. This one at the very end degrees of Aries, and eclipsed too. That’s quite a rare combo. A solar eclipse in Aries stirs inner courage and passion for life, or brings to awareness where such is lacking or deficient. It implies something new wants to emerge, which also means something may need to end in order to make space for the new. More in the blog (link in bio), including a few of my images that relate to the theme of endings and beginnings

We arrive at the most potent of New Moon's. This one at the very end degrees of Aries (29.5°) and eclipsed too. That's quite a rare combo. A solar eclipse in Aries stirs inner courage and passion for life, or brings to awareness where such is lacking or deficient. It implies something new wants to emerge, which also means something may need to end in order to make space for the new.

IIn this blog, I cover the coming Eclipsed New Moon in Aries, and its implications. This is a north node eclipse, which augurs a period of growth, stretching, or a building energy. Something wants to emerge for all to see. And that includes a few images of mine, with their backstory. These images will speak to the eclipse theme of Endings and Beginnings. Also, I'll offer some suggestions for reflection and meditation at this powerful New Moon window. Please share. Mahalo!

Potent eclipses both in April/May and October signal significant changes ahead in 2024-25. Join Astrologer Maurice Fernandez and me this Saturday, April 15th, on Zoom for an engaging 90-minute exploration of these powerful eclipse events and what they portend for the coming few years.

Registration here: $20 USD. If you are unable to attend, a replay of the event will be made available to all registered participants.

Beginning April 20th, a series of eclipses will occur in 2023, heralding a significant shift in the Earth's frequency into 2024-25 and beyond. That means a change in our own body's frequencies.These eclipses include a very potent solar eclipse in April, a lunar eclipse in May, then both Solar and Lunar eclipses in October.

Eclipses are powerful portals for an introspective look at life's unfolding dynamics around and through you. When events like these are understood from an astrological perspective, especially as it relates to your natal chart, a much clearer picture emerges about the season of your being, options available, beneficial directions, and ways to energetically prepare. This accelerated and amplified frequency is increasing. There is no going back to the "way it was".

On April 20th, the first in the series of four eclipses occurs at the most intense degree of Aries - 29°. The determined Ram is restless at this degree.This metaphorical archetype is imbued with courage, inspiration, and strength. it desires freedom from restraint and heaviness. The Ram clamours for novelty and change. Not surprising a building cry for freedom gives rise in many parts of the world. This eclipse puts an exclamation mark on that ever expanding human chorus. For this and other reasons, I consider this April eclipse to be one of the most significant and catalytic astrological events in 2023.

Join Maurice and me this coming Saturday. Group events, whether live or on-line, generate a strong entrainment field, from which all participants greatly benefit and experience something surprising and inviting.

My next blog (before April 20th) will feature more of my recent photographs with backstory included.

Equinox, Aries New Moon and Pluto's first ingress into Aquarius since 1778 create an astrological trifecta this week. It's rare for an Aries New Moon to coincide with the vernal equinox. This blending of solar and lunar cycles carries added energetic weight for the coming season. Add Pluto residing at 0 degrees of Aquarius for the next 80 days and a profound mix of astrological shifts are set in motion. More on my latest musings here:

Mercury stations direct today in early Capricorn, at the same time Sun comes to the same degree as Pluto in very late Capricorn. A lot of energy focused towards the realms of politics, rules, laws, business and organizational structure. Good day for grounding exercises, patience, and focus. Next two weeks will be telling concerning Mercury lessons learned in the realms of travel, communication, movement and ideas.

I have prepared an extensive look at Astrology of 2023, including a synopsis for those wanting to cut to the chase. 3 major planets changing signs, Venus retrograde in Leo and a nodal change to Aries/Libra come July, make for a very powerful and changeable year. Specific details here. Please share.

Pisces New Moon today. A powerful confluence of elemental forces heighten the intensity of this energy. Pisces is the end, signaling new beginnings in the offing. However, first the energetic doors must close. Also, global concerns abound as the heralds of war are amplified.

Scorpio Full Moon arrives on the 26th/27th and coincides with the Moon reaching its closest point to Earth (perigee) about 12 hours after reaching full. This is the closest Full Moon of 2021 and will be followed in late May by 2021’s second closest Full Moon, which will also be fully eclipse. A lot of energy building here. Visually, Moon rise or set will appear larger than usual.

In this blog, I’m sharing 8 aerial images I’ve taken during my extensive flying to and fro on this planet. With Jupiter in engaging and wide-vision Aquarius at this lunation along with the Sun and Uranus both in earth-bound Ta**us, seems purposeful to present you with images covering a bigger perspective of this blue jewel we call Earth. But before I present these images, here’s a few thoughts about this power-packed Scorpio Full Moon.

Scorpio energy focuses on the pure essence of life force. It’s the juice that animates, inspires, incites, motivates, and captivates. The more energy you bring into your physical form, the more everything you perceive changes, including your emotional and mental states. Strengthening your energetic fields is paramount in this time of enormous change, faster vibration and pandemic fears.

Another New Moon, another dose of 2021 intensity. This is the 4th consecutive New Moon that places a laser-like multi-planetary focus upon the astrological sign for the Sun/Moon connection. And while this lunation marks the peak of this ongoing intensity, nonetheless this concentration of planetary archetypes in one sign continues to strongly ripple throughout the remainder of this season. That includes the combination June's annular solar eclipse (visible over eastern Canada, Greenland and northern Russia) and Mercury Retrograde in Gemini. More on the latest Starman Astrology update.

Pisces New Moon arrives today merging its energy with Venus and Neptune. This is the realm of the beyond the beyond. On the blog I have featured some of my Pisces-type imagery and my reflection about the images to celebrate this day.

Also, it's my birthday! Only the 4th time in my life that a New or Full Moon has occurred on that day. A memorable year has followed the other 3 times. To celebrate, I'm headed to the nearby mountains to drink in the brilliant starlight from the Southern Hemisphere skies.
