Capricorn Full Moon, July 12th - A Supermoon


The Capricorn Full Moon on the 12th of July is the the first Supermoon of the summer. Astrologer Richard Nolle introduced the term “Supermoon” to refer to the Moon which is closest to our planet when full. If a Supermoon occurs at the same time as a Full Moon, then the lunation has a stronger effect. Each individual reacts differently to a Full Moon: while some are highly emotional, other don’t feel different at all.

Your Full-Moon-related experience usually depends on the structure of your chart and on the mathematical relationship established between the lunation and your chart. As a rule of thumb, any life aspect on your chart that is within some degrees of the Capricorn sign will be more deeply influenced by the lunation.

This month’s Capricorn Full Moon narrows down the focus on the material world. Everything that is related to finances, our mission in this world, fulfillment, and personal achievement is brought to our attention by this astrological event, inviting us to ponder upon the various aspects of our lives from a material viewpoint. The aforementioned astrologer Richard Nolle has identified a link between the Supermoon and an increase in certain types of geophysical activity, such as floods and earthquakes. 

The Supermoon associated with the Capricorn Full Moon is all the more dramatic because this lunation almost makes an exact square to the lunar nodes. When the Sun and the Moon are conjunct to the lunar nodes, the lunation is an eclipse. In this situation, the square aspect is more intense, reason why it has a more dramatic effect. Due to this Full Moon, people will experience increased emotional sensitivity and intensity during the following days. This lunation can be seen as an enriching astrological event, which has the ability to help us advance on our journey, whatever its nature may be.  This interpretation is possible because the lunar nodes are symbolically correlated with a journey from the past – represented by the South Node – to the future – represented by the North Node.

What renders this Supermoon all the more intense the fact that Mars is conjunct to the North Node. These “celestial circumstances” bring to life our inner desire to walk on a clear path towards our destiny. Luckily for us all, Venus harmonizes with both Mars and the North Node, creating balance and illuminating our path. We may all experience love and magic over the next few days – let’s embrace it!

I have never heard of Supermoons before. Interesting concept. And it makes sense that the Supermoons lead to more floods - after all the Moon has to do with the movements of the waters.

My natal moon is in Capricorn and I'm already feeling the effects of this Cap full moon as of yesterday. Today is much more intense but I'm not getting any "balanced" or "harmonic" influences at all. Quite the opposite.

Might explain why my friends over in Germany are currently drowning!
And interesting time, indeed it seems to bring with it some change.

Ceres and Our Inner Emotional Life

Ceres connections in synastry can reveal how one person accepts (or doesn’t) their partner’s nurturing. “Nurturing” is defined as caring for someone, and fostering their growth. Ceres (or Demeter) is named after the Goddess of the crops. She had a daughter (Persephone) and they were close. So close, in fact, that Ceres never wanted to let her go. Then Pluto (or Hades) kidnapped Persephone and dragged her off to the Underworld. Ceres’ grief was intense. In retaliation, she denied mankind their food by making the crops wither and die; she was hurting, so everyone else would as well. A deal was eventually struck with Pluto, and Persephone was allowed to spend part of the year above ground, with her mother. This was when Ceres allowed the crops to grow. When Persephone spent the rest of the year below ground, the crops were dormant. So Ceres’ cycle of growth and loss reflects the cycle of life. In your chart, her sickle-shaped glyph describes how you handle that cycle.Aspects to Cer...

The Meaning of Nakshatras in Vedic Astrology

Unique to Vedic astrology, the Nakshatras, or lunar constellations, are directly connected to the Moon and her myriad of expressions. The Moon changes signs (houses) roughly every 2.3 days, taking 28 days to move through the twelve signs of the zodiac. This gives two weeks for a waxing (bright half) Moon and two weeks for a waning (dark half) Moon.  The Moon is connected to our intuition, intelligence and the nature of the mind and emotions. These “Moon parts” within us are ever-changing, fickle, and correlate to the endless movement and change of the Moon. Whereas the movement of the Sun is linked to the 12 signs of the zodiac, the movement of the Moon is connected to the 27 nakshatras. The Moon is the lord of all the nakshatras, where the Sun is the lord of all the rasis (signs).  In the Vedic system of astrology, there are 27 nakshatras (though some texts refer to 28 for specific spiritual purposes) which easily divides the 360 degrees of entire zodiac into roughly 13.2...

Mercury Retrograde in 2014

Mercury goes retrograde February 6 2014 and the traditional advice is  “Don’t travel, Don’t sign contracts. Don’t marry. Don’t touch electrics!”  But the whole Mercury retrograde cycle actually lasts eight weeks and happens three times, sometimes even four times in a year! That’s a long time to hide under the duvet and a real waste of a truly magical time. Mercury generally zips between two worlds, or rather, the two hemispheres of our brain. So during the retrograde period it is like Mercury has gone down into the Underworld. In the realm closer to spirit we become more right-brain orientated. It is dark, so other senses are heightened. We will feel extra sensitive here, psychic even. Everything will seem hyper-real… you will notice things you had overlooked before. This will prompt you to re-evaluate, renovate, re-invent, re-form, and reinvent. It’s true you might have to redo things, because Mercury will hit the same degree three times, but what this transit won’t l...
