New Moon in Libra ~ Love and Peacemaking

09/12/2019 Filed in Astrology written by Lubaina Choudhury

The new Moon in Libra rising early morning on Saturday, September 28th, brings with it some much needed balance and equanimity (or at least the desire for it) into our collective consciousness. I don’t know about you all, but the past full moon in Pisces a couple of weeks ago left me feeling dreamy and ungrounded; and while the Neptunian vibes are useful for creativity and meditation, it has taken quite some effort to be productive and get practical things done.

Fall Equinox 2019 ~ The Obstacle is the Way

09/12/2019 Filed in Astrology written by Lubaina Choudhury

Equinoxes are the two times during the year when the day and night are equal in length. After the fall equinox, the days get shorter and the nights longer as we go into winter. The shift is from the bustling activity of the summer to the slower more introspective time of preparing for the cold winter.

Harvest Moon in Pisces ~ Uncomfortable Emotional Waters

09/12/2019 Filed in Astrology written by Lubaina Choudhury

Life began in water. We are made of 70% water, and astrologically water is the strongest element due to it’s nature of non-resistance. This full moon in Pisces is a very watery full moon indeed. Conjunct Neptune (which is still in retrograde) this moon carries a strong Neptunian flavor, and Neptune rules the oceans and the churning waves of our emotions. So this harvest moon will carry us to the world hidden from our view, a world we can only navigate through feeling.

New Moon and Stellium in Virgo ~ No More Time for Mind Games

08/15/2019 Filed in Astrology written by Lubaina Choudhury

In astrology, a new moon occurs when the sun and moon are in the same sign and a stellium occurs when there are three or more planets in the same sign. This new moon in Virgo brings with it a stellium in it’s sign, with Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars in Virgo. This is a very precise and interesting energy with an earthy, yet mercurial feel to it. Both the sun and moon are conjunct both Venus and Mars (although closer to Mars), so while the Mars conjunctions may bring out a combative energy, the Venus conjunctions soften the aggressiveness that we might feel. What it actually may translate into is a desire to express creativity through grounded action.

Full Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius — Calm your fire to hear your Truth

08/15/2019 Filed in Astrology written by Lubaina Choudhury

This morning at 8:30am, the full sturgeon moon in Aquarius rose high in the sky. This August full moon is always an interesting polarity of energies because while the Sun in Leo is heart energy, it is personal love, self-love while the Moon in Aquarius is love for all humanity, a universal love. Both are necessary, because we cannot love anybody else if we don’t know how to love ourselves, and also if we don’t learn to share the love we have, we cannot grow and evolve.

Sirius Rising and Jupiter trine Venus ~ Lion’s Gate Portal of Expansive Heart Energy

08/01/2019 Filed in Astrology written by Lubaina Choudhury

Today marks the climax of what has famously been named ‘the Lion’s gate portal’. This is the time during the year when the fixed star Sirius is able to rise up without being blocked by our sun as it moves from Cancer to it’s native sign of Leo. In addition to that, the Lion’s Gate Portal also marks the time of Venus in Leo making the harmonious trine aspect to Jupiter. Many astrologers consider this a spiritually expansive time, given that Sirius represents our Spiritual Sun, and the Venus energy is one of Love while Jupiter is expansion in consciousness.

Black Supermoon in Leo ~ What gets you going?

08/01/2019 Filed in Astrology written by Lubaina Choudhury

Tonight at 11:12pm, we have a new moon in Leo, a black supermoon at that. With four planets in Leo and the retrogrades still working their magic, this new moon asks us some important, yet impatient questions. Fire signs are all about inspiration and energetic movement within our mental, emotional and physical beings. So this new moon the question that comes up is what gets you going? Where in your life are you feeling all the motivations, or lack thereof, and why?
