Hello beautiful.

This moon shines in her fullness in the early hours of Christmas morning. It’s the first full moon on Christmas day since 1977! As you know the full moon is an opposition (from the Earth’s point of view) between the Sun and the Moon. The Sun entered Capricorn a few days ago on the winter solstice marking the official beginning of winter. The Moon is in the opposite sign of Cancer. The Cancer/Capricorn axis represents the archetype of the parental figures and energy of the mother (Cancer) and the father (Capricorn.)

These two signs also mark the beginning of seasons; Cancer is the beginning of Summer, Capricorn the beginning of winter, and energetically they bring us into the the fullness of expanding (outward)…

FULL MOON IN THE SIGN OF CANCER
– The 11:11 Christmas Special!

Happy Christmas, Full moon followers! Yes, we are coming to the last full moon of the year. The final one of the year gives us one final polarity Cancerian moon vs solar Capricorn. On Christmas Day. At approximately 11:11. Oh boy! Talk about a sign…

Why is this symbolic?
Well, Christmas Day represents more than the birth of Jesus, it also represents a special time in the path of our Sun. Having ‘died’ at the solstice, it is reborn and becomes stronger on or around the 25th, like a resurrection. With the time of 11:11, that is regarded by different groups as being symbolic to angelic codes, messages and awakening.

Astrologically, both are cardinal signs, earth and water meeting together. What do you get when earth and water meet? Mud! So in this ‘mud’, we shall celebrate family…

Merry Christmas! Surprise! Not since 1977 have we experienced a Full Moon on Christmas Day.

At 4:13a MST December 25th, the Moon will be at 03 degrees of Cancer 20′, bringing family, nurturance and caring to the fore! How appropriate. Since Cancer is the cardinal water sign, representing water, this sign is highly sensitive so watch out for hurt feelings if the communication isn’t entirely clear or timely! BE aware of your tone of voice, body language and words.

Come from the heart and love as best you can, always and in all ways. Family is the heart of this season despite what is going on in the media and world events. BE the change you want to see! I believe Mahatma Ghandi said this. BE heart, BE love, and BE true to you!

Cancer rules the stomach too! Highly sensitive to rich foods and over-eating or combining foods you…

“Visit the family, hugs all around
Pictures and stories, feast for a crown
Inside our hearts lay, spirit profound
Turn up the music, of Christmas sounds”

-Paul Mooseberg, Christmas Glee

Making Christmas super special this year is a Super Full Moon in sentimentalCancer! The energetic peak will occur on December 25th at 6:11 AM EST. This Full Moon stimulates a need for comfort, intimacy and nurturing bonds. It will be a time when it feels as if everything comes together, like a gift wrapped with the perfect bow.

This Christmas Day, the moon will be full in the constellation of Gemini, just above the star Geminorum, also known as Alhena.

This is a powerfully rare occurrence that has not been seen since December 25, 1977 and which will not return until the year 2034.

Welcome to December’s Full Cold Moon, a powerhouse of potential and possibilities!

“As we look at the Moon on such an occasion, it’s worth remembering that the Moon is more than just a celestial neighbor. The geologic history of the Moon and Earth are intimately tied together such that the Earth would be a dramatically different planet without the…

On Christmas, December 25th this year, we will have a Full Moon in the sign of chatty, communicative Gemini.  The last time we had a full moon on Christmas was in 1977! 

So, with families joining together to celebrate the holiday, be aware that full moons bring out the crazies!  Be patient and tolerant and drive carefully.  Lunatic is a word derived from Luna, the name of the moon and when the moon is full, it’s in full energy phase.   It has a strong effect on the tides and even on the fluids in our body; and this time will also be affecting what people say.  You might have to bite your tongue more than once!  Please be aware of the energies out there and make this a happy, serene holiday for yourself and others.  WISHING ALL MY READERS A MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY, PROSPEROUS NEW…

Winter Solstice

December 21, 2015 at 8:49 pm PT is Winter Solstice, the longest night in the northern hemisphere. The Sun enters Earth sign Capricorn, and many planets are in Earth signs to get grounded by focusing on earthly matters such as health and finances.

There is much good fortune as the Moon in Taurus makes a grand trine with Mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto. People are in touch with their emotions and can express what they feel, there is a pleasant sense of well being and generosity, and encounters with others are powerful.

The Taurean Moon also sextiles Neptune in Pisces for creative reflection. But Mercury squares Mars and Uranus so be thorough when communicating. You can defend your beliefs and stay true to your values, no mater how different or eclectic they may be.
