Happy New Year! Boy was 2022 a long year…so much happened in that year, a lot of growth and challenges. Astrologically speaking, 2023 is a very different year. And tonight we have the first full Moon of 2023!

In the bigger picture of 2023, astrologically the intensity we experienced in the last three years is finally dissolving as this year brings much more harmony between the planetary bodies.

Unless you live under a rock, you have probably heard that there is a total solar eclipse tonight under the new moon in Sagittarius. While this eclipse is only visible from the south most parts of the world, such as Antartica, which will suddenly be cast into darkness during the eclipse, its effects will be felt globally in the collective consciousness on an energetic level.

Let’s dive right into our astro update and talk about the tune the planets are singing for this eclipse.

First of all, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, thereby casting a shadow on the Earth. In a manner of speaking, it appears as though the ‘Moon has eaten up the Sun'.

The lunar eclipse on Friday, Nov 19th, is a partial (but almost covering the moon) lunar eclipse which is going to be visible from North and South America as well as Australia and parts of Europe.

Astrologically, this lunar eclipse will begin a new cycle which will continue for months to come, culminating in May 2022. The eclipse falls on the axis of Scorpio-Taurus, with the Sun being in intense Scorpio and the Moon being in earthy Taurus.

Yes, astrologically speaking, the archetype of Venus is the feminine in all its softness and sensual glory. And Mars is the archetype of the warrior, the masculine principle in action. Venus is receiving, giving and from the heart. Mars is penetrating, sexual energy in motion. So broadly speaking, it’s pretty accurate to say that women embody the Venusian principles and men the Martian ones.

But what about those women who’s astrological charts gear them to be more Martian in their approach? What about the women, who while in their essence they might be Venusian, but the archetype they embody is more Martian? What about the women who are from Mars?

Your Moon sign represents the part of you that is hidden in your subconscious. The Moon is the feminine archetype in your chart which can influence a lot of your behavior unconsciously.

The final days of 2020 are upon us, and with it we have the final full moon of 2020, in the sign of Cancer on the night of Dec 29th. We are still under the effects of the solar eclipse on Dec 14th and the Great Conjunction on Dec 21st which stirred up a lot.

Tonight’s new moon in Leo is a reprieve from the intensity that we have been experiencing collectively. While it’s a fiery new moon, because Leo rules the heart, we are moved by an internal calling, a calling of love.
