FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS 2021

~ Sarah Murphy ~ Leave a comment

FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS @29° 💫
CONJUCT JUPITER 
SUNDAY 22 AUG 2205 AEST 

Today’s full moon is the 2nd Aquarian full moon in a row, making it a blue moon. Our previous full moon was in the early degrees of Aquarius and in aspect to restrictive Saturn, making it a harsher lunation. Today’s lunation is conjunct an optimistic and uplifting Jupiter, creating an all-together different experience. 

A full moon conjunct Jupiter is a thing of beauty and a wonderfully uplifting aspect. It allows us to see/appreciate the things we DO have in these extremely trying times. Along with creating an-air of optimism and opportunity to expand ourselves, to raise our spirits, helping to find moments of joyousness in uncertain times.

2021 is hard, things are changing, and we are adapting, today’s lunation is a lovely moment in time to embrace theses changes and look for the opportunity to grow within these new parameters or limitations imposed by saturnian figures or situations.

We also have today; the Sun is in its last degree of Leo, finishing up its yearly transit in the sign it rules. Venus is now in Libra, another planet back home in its ruling sign; finally, Mercury is also strongly placed in Virgo also its ruling sign. We have some lovely planetary support at this full moon, making a dynamic skyscape. 

Despite all the setbacks, the challenges, the restrictions; today is a wonderful opportunity to settle in and bask in the wonder, the opportunities and the lessons that have gotten us to THIS point in time. Having so many planets in rulership now is the time to bask in their glory and graces before we duck dive into the tail end of 2021 and it’s Astrological landscapes.

JULY ASTROLOGY 2021 


July opens with a tricky Mars Saturn opposition which sets the tone for the month as the two malefic aspect each other, each trying to have their way. Saturn in Aquarius has the upper hand, so the long slow game beats out any rush or major pushes ahead especially if they are coming from a place of passion or ego. A cool and detached head will win the race.

AIRES / ARIES RISING

June begins with Venus bringing nourishment and pleasure to your home and family sector. Time spent at home with family or those you consider to be family helps bind and bring you closer together. Mars, shifting mid-month into your pleasure sector motivates you to get back to the things you love that are creative and fun. The solar eclipse conjunct Mercury, who is retrograde on June 10thmay see a time of confusion that becomes clearer by month’s end.

TAURUS / TAURUS RISING

Having Mercury’s retrograde and a solar eclipse in your earned money sector indicates confusion around income or finances. Take a cautious approach and minimise any undue risks until this phase has cleared in July. Mars’ motivating influence in your home sector is suitable for making home improvements that require hard work or muscle. Jupiter offers up some beneficial people within your social circles. 

GEMINI / GEMINI RISING

Mercury, your ruler, is retrograde in June; this, combined with the solar eclipse on June 10th, might be both confusing and confronting.

Venus is very helpful for boosting finances, while Jupiter assists with career progression.

JUPITER’S INGRESS INTO PISCES: BIG MAGIC

~ Sarah Murphy ~ Leave a comment

JUPITER’S TRANSIT OF PISCES 

14 MAY – 29 JULY 2021 

Jupiter returned home to its domicile Pisces on Friday 14 May 2021; making it the first transit of Pisces in 12 years. This is a transit that many astrologers have kept an eye on due to its benevolent nature, after such difficult times. Who doesn’t love a benefic planet in its rulering sign? The last time Jupiter worked from such strength was 2019, when it was transiting Sagittarius its other ruling sign. 

Jupiter spends just over 2 months in Pisces before it retrogrades back into Aquarius before its moves back into Pisces in late December 2021. This is a little taster or beginning phase of this powerful transit. Looking to where you have Pisces in your chart allows you to see where this beneficence will manifest. 

Jupiter is a planet of optimism, knowledge, teachers, gurus, learnings, travel, gifts but also dogma and zealots. Pisces is a sign of creativity and encompassing of well, everything; while staying undefinable and elusive.  Notable that the hostilities in the Gaza strip, started 7 days out from the ingress of Jupiter into Pisces.

As exciting at this transit is and as wonderful as it is to have the greater benefic back at full strength. We must also look at the co-presence of Neptune during this transit of Jupiter in Pisces. As highlighted by the wonderful and talented Astrologer, Diana Rose Harper; Neptune’s co-presence in Pisces with Jupiter allows for a real danger of a rise in delusional belief’s, cult shit and a rise in charlatans. The presence of charlatan’s is age old and has been more noticeable as Neptune reached the mid-point of its transit in Pisces. Jupiter now adding to the equation, is prime picking for illusions of grandeur, cult like figure coming out of the woodwork and just plain old bad guru’s and teacher. Be mindful of who presents and don’t be sucked into things that are too good to be true, they probably are. The opportunity of them appearing now is real.

More to come, as these are first thoughts, observations and connections to other people’s observations. But in honour of Jupiter’s ingress we must celebrate that, it is good, it is exciting, but it also does have aspects that are multi-faceted. Pisces energy is easy to get lost in thanks to its encompassing nature. Like all transits, it’s never straight-forwards, but it is something to be excited about along with sticking to your core values so you can contain this massive, inspirational, creative energetic shift as we have now entered its portal. More to come … but the opportunity for ‘Big Magic’ is forming.

MARS TRANSIT OF GEMINI 2021

Robert Fludd, The Sun Breathing Life into the Cosmos, 1626

MARS IN GEMINI 2021

4 March – 24 April 2021 AEDT

Today Mars enters Gemini, after an elongated transit of Taurus; the sign of Mars detriment.  Mars entered Taurus, at the moment “That Bull Guy” image; symbolic to the Capital Hill riots was blazoned across the world media. Having this transit line up with such a striking image after such an epic retrograde phase in 2020, was something that only emphasised the potential trickiness of this Mars in Taurus phase, we are now exiting.  Longer than usual, it’s been a tough slog from early January until now. Things have been slower than usual to get up and running along with a resistance to big energetic pushes, or things just required way more motivation than usual. Slow and steady took over from big pushes, which essentially impeded Mars ability to do anything really constructive, as Mars likes fast rigorous action. 

Today with Mars shifting into Gemini, Mars is in a much better space to be able to use his skills and dynamism.  Gemini is a much more dynamic and changeable sign in comparison to the fixed earth of Taurus. Gemini is naturally more aligned to Mars nature and curiosities.  This stimulation of Mars allows for more momentum, traction and progress after a tedious transit of Taurus and retrograde phase in 2020. In short, Mars in Gemini will give strength and vigour to the mind.

Also, at the time of this ingress of Mars into Gemini, Mercury will be conjoining Jupiter for its final conjunction to Mercury in Aquarius. The Ruler of this Mars transit is blessed with the final integration of this three-hit conjunction of Mercury / Jupiter. Having Mercury / Jupiter meet for the third time, allows for information, a way forward, a new plan, new optimism or a new path forwards after a difficult or confusing January / February 2021. 

Having Mercury leave the final stages of its retrograde, along with its connection with Jupiter is extremely helpful and positive for Mars as he enters Gemini. Finally after 12 months we have a Mars making for more positive aspects to Saturn in-particular, allowing for more supportive Mars. Something that has been missing over the last 12 months, as the wrecking ball of Covid 19 began to hit our lives.

Today marks, what potentially we were seeking when we started 2021, by offering us a clearer path forwards, providing the energy and motivation after a difficult and frustrating first two months of the Year. Today we begin to see a more positive Mars influence, which has been missing from our lives over the past 12 months, as Mars begins to set a new pace and a new tone, which is now informed and guided by Jupiter’s influence on Mercury.  Today Mars, gets some of his spunk and swagger back. xx

NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS 

FRI 12th FEB @ 6:16am AEDT 

23 ° Aquarius 

The New Moon in Aquarius will be one unlike any other, thanks to 6 of the 7 inner planets being in Aquarius at this lunation, creating a huge Aquarian stellium or line-up. This is rare and last occurred 59 years ago; feeding an extraordinary amount of planetary energy into the Aquarian sector of your chart/life. 

Aquarius, the water bearer is the provider and the support system, which is always working towards a point of wholeness or completion.  It is perhaps at this new moon; we can look to the Aquarian aspects of our lives with the intent to bring more support and structure into what we strive to complete or bring wholeness around these topics of life.  

Aquarian’s are individual within the collective, they hold their individuality and uniqueness, within the space of others; they are able to be themselves, whilst assisting others to help create community, it might just not be in the most traditional of ways. This new moon creates strong opportunity to workshop new pathways to evolve and sets up a deep incubation phase, of the Aquarian qualities of above and bringing them to life.

Venus and Jupiter conjoin at 12 °at this new moon, helping to harmonise the blending of big visions, optimism, new lessons and teachings, combined with attractive connection to those who you really vibe with. Jupiter fresh from his cazimi, helps to energize Venus, as she finishes her current cycle. Having the two benefic’s in-aspect at this lunation is a good thing, bringing in a more positive and optimistic flavour.

Mercury, still currently retrograde in Aquarius offers the benefit of reflection and insights. It’s only through looking back or re-looking at ourselves; we are able to know more clearly what we do or don’t seek. It also helps us see how we have progressed. Mercury still traveling through these back-water roads, offers introspection and reflection, as the Moon itself is at its darkest, helping to deepen the unseen or seeding of the experience.  

Finally, Saturn, the ruler of this lunation will be what remains after all these planets leave Aquarius and will hold to account; asking that you keep the contracts that you make at this time. Saturn will be making sure you keep promises or contracts, once all the benefits are optimism is gone. This will be key to your success. Saturn prefers a more striped back and simple plan, one that can be stuck to!  The good news is that Saturn works well in Aquarius, so it is creating a supportive and strong foundational base for these new explorations and developments.
