Greetings Everyone,

I have finally come out of the heavy schedule that I’ve been abiding by since November 2024!

A lot has happened in the world since November 2024 and we are all finding ways to deal with keeping our personal peace. My wish is that you are.

March is the time for adjustments and revising our plans, ideas or projects to better fit the beginning of Eclipse season. January and February we worked through Mars Retrograde in Cancer, finally turning direct on February 23rd.Mars is still at the same degree (17 degrees) slowly moving up to regular Mars motion. Depending on where you have Cancer in your Chart, I’m sure you can sense a feeling of being more effective now.

March is the Month in 2025 that stands on its own. We enter many shifts starting with the Aries and Pisces houses getting numerous transits, Eclipses and retrogrades.

 March 1st Venus stations Retrograde at 10 degrees Aires. Fire element Aries/Venus -contemplating what we need & want. Venus retrogrades give us a 6-week space to reevaluate our relationships, self-worth, our financial worth, our relationship patterns from the past, connections to the past. We had a Venus Retrograde similar to this one back 8 years ago in 2017. Think about the themes you may have dealt with and apply them to where you are now. What were you reinventing? How did you reassess or correct some of the relational pieces of your life 8 years ago?

March 27th Venus Retrograde re-enters Pisces 29 degrees & Conjoins Neptune 29 Pisces

 We flow back into the water element that is more receptive and compassionate to our desires and especially the desires of those we love. Still reworking our relational patterns, self-worth or financial situations from January. How do we get our needs met and what can we let go of as well (Neptune)?

April 13th Venus stations direct at 24 degrees Pisces~ conjunct Saturn 26 Pisces and sextile Uranus Taurus 25. Venus energy is highlighted by making something solid (Saturn) committed, and by using a different path (Uranus) to create something exciting, moving forward with what we learned.

March 14th Full Moon /Total lunar Eclipse 23 degrees Virgo opposite Saturn Pisces 22 and Trine Uranus Taurus 24. Eclipses are wild cards, we never see the end or beginning within them because they are concealed until they reveal themselves. Virgo is an earth element and ruled by Mercury in Aries during this Eclipse. March 15th Mercury stations retrograde. We may have an unexpected -face or a reverse effect in our plans, ideas, thoughts and decisions once the Lunar Eclipse is complete. Uranus is trine the Eclipse degree, allowing for unexpected shifts that can work in our favor. Saturn Pisces opposite the Eclipse can withhold its true feeling, but if we feel opportunity around Uranus /Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse energy, let the cards fall where they may.

March 15th Mercury 09 degrees Aires stations retrograde. Mercury in the sign of Aries is very forward, quick to decide, creative and impatient. When Mercury slows down, our decisions need to focus more on the details, which can be a challenge for a fired-up Mercury. Take some time during this period to use discretion when making decisions or having serious conversations. What would be best for your future? Try not to get stuck in feelings or memories from the past, good time to reassess not make firm decisions.

March 30th Mercury Retrograde re-enters 29 Pisces and conjoins Neptune 29 Pisces Allow for flexibility, adjustments and look for resilience in what you have been discovering since March began.

April 8th Mercury stations Direct 26 Pisces conjoined to Saturn/Venus Pisces-Moving forward may feel like a group effort, as Venus always connects us to others, and Saturn creates responsibility.

 **As we move through the Retrograde Transits of Venus & Mercury Aries, so close on the same trail, both meeting up with Neptune Pisces mid-way, back-to-back Cazimi’s and ending the journey with Saturn Pisces. This speaks to writers, artists, musicians, creatives who have an appreciation of beauty and thoughts about love. Our minds (Mercury) and hearts (Venus) have this period to course correct what we can control, our own creative expression. We can harness what brings joy to make it more of our reality.

March 22nd Venus 02 Aries conjunct Sun 02 Aries CAZIMI

A Cazimi moment is when the Sun merges and amplifies a planet to create a brilliant energy briefly. “To be in the heart of the Sun” Pay attention to what attracts you on this day, spectacular creative energies can arise.

March 24th Mercury 04 Aries conjunct Sun 04 Aries CAZIMI

Watch for interestingideas, conversations, social media pieces, messages that inspire you. Mercury in Aries is impulsive so let it sink in, write it down and revisit this possibly brilliant idea for April.

March 29th New Moon/Solar Eclipse 09 Aries

A New Moon /Solar Eclipse in Fire element of Aries can amplify the feeling of the start of something brand new. Aries loves being a pioneer, or to trailblaze an idea without fear. As we have been moving through March, we may encounter delays or challenges to our spirit of forging ahead. This Solar Eclipse has the same degrees that Venus & Mercury started their retrograde journey on (Mercury RX 09 Aries & Venus RX 10 Aries) It is linked very closely with the energy of March. Create ideas, images ect. To use this strong manifesting energy to begin fresh in the Aries part of your chart.

Aries Keywords: Adventurous, leadership, assertive, active, energetic, direct and passionate.

March 30th Neptune enters Aries 00 degrees (Aries Point!)

Neptune has been in a water element Pisces since 2011, Neptune has about 14 yr. transit in one Zodiac sign. The last time Neptune spent time in Aries was April 13 1861. It is our time to integrate this energy into our lives, again the Fire element of Aries is initiating something, creating and trailblazing. Neptune, like the ocean, is vast, deep and holds mystery. Neptune is a slow-moving outer planet, invisible to the eye. It is linked to imagination, idealism, fantasy, psychic receptivity, dreams, spirituality, confusion and deceit. Neptune believes in magic and the creation of illusion. We find a sense of enchantment and glamour in the realm of Neptune. We also can get lost in addiction and delusion. Neptune transit energy can be very subtle, and slowly make us aware of its presence while entering a new element. We may start to realize our old dreams through Pisces aren’t what we desire anymore.

We are now starting a new adventurous dream in Aries!

 Neptune station Retrograde July 6th 02 Aries and then Retrograde back to Pisces 29 on October 22nd, then re entering Aries for 14 yrs on January 27th 2026.

I wish you all joy and fulfillment as we navigate through March.

We are in Eclipse Time!

The Pisces Lunar Eclipse on Tuesday September 17th was a taste of Pisces/Virgo Axis for the next 18 months of Eclipses in 2025/26. How did you experience the Pisces Lunation? I had a few clients comment on that period of random gifts, (physical or emotional) show up, nothing extraordinary but special to them and they didn’t see it coming. A Harvest moon.

 Dates for upcoming 2024 Eclipses:

October 2,2024 Solar Eclipse Libra 10 Degrees

October 17,2024 Lunar Eclipse Aries 24 degrees * Very close to being a Lunar Eclipse by a few degrees, so we are calling it a Lunar Eclipse- Full Moon

We can be open & curious to its effects.

2025 Eclipse Dates

March 14,2025 Total Lunar Eclipse 24 degrees Virgo

March 28-29,2025 Solar Eclipse Aries 9 degrees

September 7, 2025 Total Lunar Eclipse Pisces 15 degrees

September 21,2025 Solar Eclipse 29 degrees Virgo

Pisces positive highlights are the need for compassion, focusing on spirituality and having faith that we are on the right path. Going with the flow and allowing change to create positive outcomes. A very hopeful & positive energy. Of course, to balance, we know the opposite of those feelings can be anxiety, delusion, overwhelm and escapism. Virgo energy can create an organized sense of momentum, by planning and skillful strategies that help others as well as themselves. The shadow side is overthinking or obsessing about details or outcomes of a situation. When we are experiencing Eclipse seasons, it can feel a bit unsettling or wonky as we are trying to gain a balance with something in our lives. We look to the Houses where the it occurs for clues.

Eclipses involve the temporary disappearance of the Sun or Moon, so they can signal unexpected change or reversals in a birth chart that is aspected to a particular Eclipse.

Are you having a Nodal Return this Year? You can experience a profound life shift or a deeper period of self-discovery during our Nodal return. (*When Nodes return to exact degree of your Natal Nodal Placement)

 This happens every 18 ½ years.

Age 18, 37, 55, 74 and 93 years we experience a shift. We can gain a lot of information from the Sign of your Nodes and the House they are operating in.It is a fascinating study looking back on our lives to see how things shifted and changed during those years.

I look forward to talking with you all about the New Year Ahead!

Take care,

Laura

Pisces Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse 2024

Laura Taft Astrology

Pisces Lunar Eclipse September 17, 2024

A Harvest Supermoon Lunar Eclipse! This Lunar Eclipse will be a partial which can be viewed from Finland, Ukraine, Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and Kenya. 

The next Total Lunar Eclipse in North America will be on March 14th 2025 at 23 degrees Virgo.

The Pisces Full Moon in September is a favorite of mine…. the seasons in North America start to be felt and seen. Warm days with the light fading earlier in the afternoon and cooler nights. The Moon is considered the translator of light, because of its fast movement it carries energy from one planet to another. During Eclipse season we can experience change through beginnings or endings, Solar Eclipses (New Moon) tend to be seed moments and more external energies and events. The Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) resonates with completions of a cycle, tidal energy, more emotional and internal. Do new beginnings come after endings or endings create a new beginning? Pisces keyword is “I feel”

Eclipses can change our situation in an instant, with its wild card, sometimes unpredictable energy. The word Eclipse can mean to block out, like the obscuring of one celestial body by another, or to be hidden. It can also mean to surpass, transcend, outshine, outmatch or master a situation if it is used as a verb. Not every Eclipse will produce something meaningful, but researching how Eclipse seasons through our lives have unfolded new chapters is fascinating.

Pisces in general feels its way through by merging with its environment, seeking to find a peaceful space. A water sign that rules the ocean, and loves to dissolve into the energy of nature. Pisces is intuitive by feeling the subtle nuances that it encounters, shifting gears to blend with others as it goes about its own business. Naturally reclusive and content to find its own pace. Not fond of boundaries it charts its course through feelings that become the fish’s compass. That compass can lead too far in one direction causing a course correction and a change occurs. The duality and mutability of Pisces. Similar to the ebb and flow of the tides.

On a Pisces Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse we know we are at the brightest part of the lunation, heightened emotions are classic reactions to this energy, positively or negatively. The Full Moon at the time of Eclipse has separated from Saturn in Pisces, feeling the responsibilities or expectations put on it by others. Something is fleeting but serious at the moment. Maybe a test of maturity, that can be understood in time and forgiven. Mature Pisces reflection and compassion is unmatched. Saturn in Pisces is opposite to Mercury in Virgo, requiring us to pause and give some serious thought to a situation. What needs clarification? What details did we miss? What words have not been spoken?

The Full Moon applies by sextile (excites and engages) to Uranus Taurus adding a feeling of awakening the changes you’d hoped for, with a little extra effort. The Pisces Full Moon has two rulers, Jupiter the traditional ruler and Neptune the modern ruler. They are both connected to this Eclipse, describing the translation of light that the Moon energy carries. Neptune in Pisces is 3 degrees away from Eclipse degree, meaning they conjoin shortly after Eclipse. Moon/Neptune contacts can heighten sensitivities, a highly intuitive timeframe. It can also create misunderstandings by misinterpreting moods, communications may be unclear.

The Full Moon/Eclipse will also be separating from a square to Jupiter in Gemini, you may have learned a lot about the area in your life that Gemini rules (House placement) The Moon in Pisces feels and Jupiter in Gemini thinks expansively or exaggerates that feeling, are you more generous with your communications? Are your feelings well received? Are you optimistic about moving forward with what you’ve learned or possibly ready to emotionally explore a new chapter? This Pisces Lunar Eclipse may highlight these ideas.

July 2024 Forecast

Laura Taft Astrology
Photo by David Eucaristu00eda on Pexels.com

Greetings Everyone,

June was such a dynamic month I had no time to sit down for my June forecast! Between Venus Cazimi on June 4th, New Moon in Gemini on the 6th and Jupiter’s first full Month in Gemini….we certainly had an abundance of energy. I had a full capacity of Readings during the Month of June, which typically is slower, not this year!!

June 28/29th Saturn in Pisces stationed Retrograde signifying a moment to review and reflect on our Pisces responsibilities-think emotional patterns, connections to others and our wisdom gained through experiences.Look to what House Pisces sits in your Natal Chart for clues.Saturn will be Retrograde until November 15-16th.

Looking ahead to July we slow it down a little with Neptune stationing Retrograde at the last degree of Pisces (and the Zodiac!)

 July 2-December 8th.

Neptune in Pisces has infused the last 13 years with a strong emphasis on inspiration,dreams,imagination,compassion,confusion, illusion and escapism. The creativity that came forward through social media was immense.Highlighting a flood of esoteric arts, gamers, techies, hackers, and innovative worlds. As we creep slowly to the end of that Neptune transit we can reflect on the retrograde period until Dec.8th.What dream or ideal did we have in 2011 that still rings true now? 

July 2

Mercury enters Leo-Enthusiasm, entertaining, gregarious discussions can happen when Mercury is in fire sign Leo. 

Mercury opposite Pluto Our voices definitely get a bit louder in Leo. Right away Mercury finds itself opposite to Pluto in Aquarius, creating an intensity within communications. Good day for having the courage to  speak authentically and getting some answers, be careful to not overdo it.You may find a strong opposition from someone else. It moves quickly.

July 3 Moon in Gemini conjunct Jupiter ~An auspicious day when the social talkative Moon in Gemini expands with Jupiter. Opportunities to gather with friends & family should be easy and harmonious today. Lots of communications and inutive energy. Learn something new or make new friends.

July 4-5th New Moon in Cancer

The New Moon in Cancer is all about comfort and familiar surroundings.Connecting to family or close friends feels right. Applying to Venus in Cancer this attracts good energy in line with a casual and easy vibe to the day. The Cancer Moon will Trine Saturn in Pisces adding respect and patient energy towards your daily activities with others.Neptune in Pisces will be the last stop for Cancer Moon on July 6th increasing your sensitivities, with this aspect we can merge quickly with other people’s moods.

July 9th -15th Jupiter in Gemini Trine/sextile North Node in Aries & South Node Libra.

An interesting week with the planet of Goodwill, lucky breaks and opportunities for growth makes favorable aspects to the Nodes. The Nodes can show karmic timing, a moment when things come full circle, a beginning or a closure. A significant shift can happen if closely linked to your Natal chart that sets you up for a New Chapter. Jupiter in Gemini’s influence is relational.Guiding through communication, learning,teaching, writing and offering many ideas at once.

July 11th Venus enters Leo The planet of relationships, creativity and finances enters Leo~ a generous time with affection, bold self expression, creative and confident attitudes. Venus stays in Leo until August 4th.

Enjoyment is the key theme, have some fun!

*2023 Venus in Leo was Retrograde (July-Sept) and stayed for 44 days moving back and forth through the Leo House in your chart.Memories??

July 12th Venus in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius

Immediately Venus gets a powerful signal from Pluto across the way creating intensity in love connections. Oppositions can put up obstacles or resistance from other people.The fixed signs have a particularly hard time to hear the opposite point of view or feeling.Be generous with your compassionate side on this day.Power struggles aren’t fun.Quick moving transit.

July 15th Uranus conjunct Mars in Taurus -This is intense energy, the planet Mars is assertive, and Uranus is unpredictable. Watch out for impulsiveness when it comes to taking action or doing something on a whim.Stop and think on this day.Take it slow.

July 16th Moon in Scorpio opposite Uranus & Mars Taurus.

The Moon acts as a timer in Astrology.The Moon in Scorpio is ruled by Mars in Taurus ,who is joined with Uranus -Another day to double think of any impulsive responses or acts. Moon in Scorpio is great for working independently on a research project or an activity that is immersive and intense.

July 20th Mars enters Gemini- A very mentally busy Mars, looking to get many things done at once. Can get a bit scattered, but working with others could be the best especially because Mars Trines Pluto in Aquarius the same day to create some powerful collaborations!

July 21st Full Moon in Capricorn 

The Full Moon is at the last degree of Capricorn, considered a critical degree that wants to push forward to the next sign. The Full Moon will be tightly conjoined Pluto in Aquarius which happens around 7AM EST.The Moon jumps into Aquarius the next hour to join Pluto.

We are having a number of Pluto in Aquarius connections in July-signifying the new transformative energy of change,shifts in patterns and finding a natural point of closure to old relationships or habits. A very liberating Month.

 On this Capricorn Full Moon, we want to be responsible for the next phase of building. Whatever we have been working towards since June’s 1st Capricorn Full Moon-a strong message is trying to come through-what are we completing? This will be intuitive as Neptune Pisces 29 sextiles the FM at 29 Capricorn.On the same day, Jupiter in Gemini 12 sextiles Venus in Leo 12~ This is a cooperative connection that can inspire and encourage something in a favorable way. Use it to your advantage if the energy of Pluto & Full Moon gets too intense! A dynamic day.

July 22nd Sun enters Leo

Leo season starts with a rush of intensity…..again Pluto in Aquarius opposite the Sun in Leo. The fiery Sun shines its brightest in Leo, the opposition of Pluto can just feel 

like an obstacle or detail to be dealt with Leo style. Immediately and effectively conquer it.

July 25th Mercury enters Virgo

Mercury is very efficient in Virgo. The details of all communications,plans and projects can be analyzed thoroughly in Virgo. Great period to start a house cleaning campaign or basement cleanout ect. 

July 30th Moon & Jupiter in Gemini conjoin at 14 degrees.

This conjunction at 14 degrees harkens back to June 4th when Venus Cazimi at 14 degrees Gemini. (Venus conjunct Sun) 

This Auspicious Moon/Jupiter connection can give us feedback & information on what transpired in June. 

Keywords: discussions, new connection, spontaneous,opportunity, sharing. 

 **Look at Phone pictures from June 4th for clues or check notes on Calendar.

Thank You for reaching out for June Readings, some of you I was able to squeeze in at the last minute ✨✨✨

Jupiter in Gemini 2024

Laura Taft Astrology

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar system, It can fit 1,000 Earths inside of it!!

It is also the oldest planet formed from the dust and gases left over from the Sun’s formation 4.5 billion years ago…..Jupiter is named as the King of the planets, the equivalent of the King of the Gods or Zeus in Greek Mythology. It’s a big deal.

Tomorrow May 25th Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. Jupiter has a strong belief in expanding into new horizons, faith in life, the realization of connecting to something greater than self, opportunity and twists of fate. Travel has natural significance with Jupiter as learning from experiences and getting a fresh perspective are all benefits from getting out of the familiar. Coincidences, lucky timing and personal growth are signs that Jupiter aligned somewhere in your chart. Jupiter will stay in the sign of Gemini until June 9th 2025.

Gemini is an Air element, corresponding to the thinking type of personality-intellectual, communicative, needs mental stimulation, adaptive, busy, social, curious, inquisitive, objective, versatile, restless, nervous, articulate and distracted.

When we blend Jupiter and Gemini together we have a multi-tasking, analytical, energy equipped to refine and improve the area of our lives that this transit will be flowing through. The pace will certainly pick up after a year in Taurus-fixed earth steady growth and grounding any abundance that came your way. We now have the opportunity to shift gears mentally and open the ideas to a broader awareness of where we are headed. Jupiter in Gemini trines Pluto Rx in Aquarius immediately entering the sign which is a herald of more refinement and reform around ideas and concepts. Pluto in Aquarius is beginning the long transit of liberating ourselves, changing mental patterns, escaping traditional ways, intellectual freedom, uniqueness and originality. A transformative journey through Aquarian eyes. Be curious as to how the harmonious connection to Jupiter in Gemini may come up with some exciting new alternatives that can bring changes, improvement, success, and freedom. Jupiter can over do it with excesses and unruly behavior because of the momentum it can create. In the sign of Gemini watch for inconsistency or distractions taking you from the original plan. 

Examples of Jupiter in Gemini through the houses:

1st House-

Self, body, and appearance can benefit from upgrades and improvements.

2nd House-Finances, self-worth, and earning power get a positive boost.

3rd House-Local environment, sibling relations, communication and learning is an area of optimism and positive changes.

4th House- Home, Family, personal realm can be refined in some way beneficial to you

5th House-Creativity, children, self expression can experience more joy and recognition.

6th House-Work routines, health, habits can create better ways to function on a daily basis that encourages personal growth.

7th House-Relationships can enter our lives to enrich us and bring something beneficial from the new connection or alliance.

8thHouse-Shared Resources, inheritance, debts or loans may bring unexpected financial blessings or fortunate changes.

9th House-Higher mind, travel, psychology, beliefs and dreams can inspire a new path or journey. Gaining valuable knowledge.

10th House-Career, reputation and status will be highlighted when Jupiter reaches the top of the chart. A promotion or becoming more recognized for what you do in the world. Opportunity knocks.

11th House-Friends, groups, alliances and our dreams can merge together in unison creating abundance around like minded people. Creativity with culture.

12th House-Solitude, meditation, retreat and spirituality are the calling cards of Jupiter’s tremendous compassion. You can be of great service to those that need love and assistance.

I am looking forward to hearing from everyone throughout the year about the Jupiter in Gemini experience. Lots to talk about…..

March 2024 Newsletter

Greetings Everyone!

What a fascinating February we have had, many of you have reached out with personal stories that give me compelling information on the effects of these transits. Thank you!

February featured an Aquarian stellium that met up with Pluto at each ingress. February 12-18th were particularly potent, followed by the Full Moon In Virgo February 24th.

Welcome to March and all the Piscean shifts that we bring forward into meteorological Spring (March 1st) The Spring Equinox is March 19th in the Northern Hemisphere…welcoming Aries & Eclipse season.

March 8-9th Mars in Aquarius will square Uranus in Taurus, the challenge prior to Sundays New Moon is to look & think- before you leap. Mars in Aquarius is very independent minded, impulsive and potentially unreliable when butting heads with Uranus in Taurus. Two different fixed ideas are trying to move forward…It is a great time for spontaneity or breaking out of a routine that has been limiting. Although a quick and temporary transit…..it stimulates action, challenges and adapting to the weekend plan or program.

Mercury enters Aries March 9th-A more forward Mercury, we now initiate communication. Our thoughts and speech can enjoy the sharper, more focused and direct communications…..it will make a sextile aspect to Pluto in Aquarius stimulating more intensity or depth with the fiery element of Aries. Truth Sayer comes to mind. Truth that helps transform old mental patterns into new more enlightening views.

April 1st -26th Mercury Retrogrades in Aries. We may need to review or recalculate some of our plans in light of the energetic Cardinal energy mid March. The best route is to have a back up plan or be ready to adapt to any delays.

New Moon March 10th at 20 degrees Pisces. The Sun & Moon make a (sextile) aspect to Uranus in Taurus 19 degrees. Restlessness is part of the New moon energy, awakening and shaking up stagnant energy. Encountering exciting people, creating excitement in your personal space or changing your normal routine to be more flexible with what is being called for. Release emotional energy, on the heels of Mars/Uranus energy-start a fresh New Moon cycle with a new ritual or adventure in nature. The New Moon is bookended by Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, passing through some tests/responsibilities and hopefully ending with an inspiring or enlightening outcome.

March 12th-April 4th Venus enters Pisces, her exalted position. Keep in mind, during this timeframe she will have mutual reception with Jupiter in Taurus, meaning Venus and Jupiter welcome each other into realms (houses) of there influence. Jupiter offers growth and expansion to something long lasting and reliable. Venus is ever helpful and compassionately attentive to the needs of these current opportunities. 

March 19th Spring Equinox in Northern Hemisphere-Sun at 00 Aries trine Moon Leo and sextile Pluto in Aquarius~ (Moon opposite Pluto) A powerful start to a new season- self expressive & passionate energy abound. Use to your advantage to motivate projects or just getting creative juices flowing.

March 22rd Venus conjunct Saturn in Pisces- This transit of the planet of Love meeting the planet of work & responsibility can produce feelings of practicality, loyalty  and soberness-not exactly affectionate energy. But.. they will sextile Jupiter in Taurus (Venus reception) this fortunate helpful energy may assist in keeping things balanced in relationship.

March 23 Mars enters Pisces We now have entered the water… need to put on our flippers and flow. Things can take a little slower pace, you will get there, when you get there energy.

Mars in the independently minded Aquarius, asked what are my goals and my instinct guiding me to act on? Since Feb 13th Mars conjunct Pluto in Aquarius we were off to the races. Now… Mars in Pisces we are more comfortable to tap into options and flexibility with our motivations. Not a time to force issues.

March 25th Eclipses Season 

Lunar Eclipse(Full Moon)in Libra 05 degrees

This Lunation is ruled by Venus in Pisces and will trine Pluto in Aquarius. I get a very abundant and powerful relationship feeling with this eclipse. The Aries Sun exalted, Venus ruler of the Lunar Eclipse is exalted and in mutual reception to Jupiter. Eclipses can be wildcards and bring big beginnings and endings. Comings and goings….It is all part of the magic in change.✨✨

CANCER FULL MOON/LUNAR ECLIPSE 🌕

Laura Taft Astrology

The opposition of the Cancer Moon and the Capricorn Sun/Mercury can create a thoughtful balance and compensate for the weaknesses on either side, if we stay conscious of today’s energies.It can also create irritation and friction if you allow emotional triggers to get the best of you. Today we benefit from respectful words that heal and unify. The intuitive and emotional sensitivities of Cancer are strong. The Capricorn sun’s strict routine today can become more flexible by understanding and tuning into others feelings. Soften this opposition of the Moon & Sun along with the wild card of eclipse energy, by nurturing your needs and allow others the space to do the same.☮️

DECEMBER FORECAST 9-15TH

Laura Taft Astrology

Venus is the planet of love, affection, attraction and connection. She also rules money and our attitude and relationship with it. During this week Venus transits Saturn and Pluto. Not the most joyous spot for her to visit in the heavens …..nevertheless we can be conscious of this position and take that into consideration with relationship and finances. When Venus conjoins Saturn, there can be a cooling down of affection and expression. Not to worry or take defensively, this is a short transit bringing a more sober and serious attitude. A good time for helping or taking care of shared responsibilities. Saturn also likes to give reality checks and could ask us to pump the brakes on spending during this time.


Venus separates from the Saturnian influence and applies to Pluto on Dec.12th. Pluto intensifies anything that it touches, as Venus just cooled off with Saturn, she now may become extremely focused on a relationship . This day can bring an intensity or misunderstanding in relationships as Pluto is known for it’s transformative properties. Keep a cool head and remember to be patient with yourself and loved ones. Jealousy or defensiveness can be a byproduct of Pluto. Again this transit is short lived.

In the middle of the week we experience a Full Moon in Gemini, also traditionally known as the “Cold Moon” or the “Long Nights Moon”. The air element of the Gemini moon tends to be more outgoing and social, your mind is full of details. Despite the undertone of all the conservatism in the air, this is a good night/day to enjoy company and conversations with friends. Full moons tend to exaggerate or strengthen the mood, perfect for a holiday party or a quick visit. There is plenty going on to debate or discuss on this busy day.


Dec. 12 Jupiter in Capricorn communicates with Uranus in Taurus through a earthy trine aspect helping us avoid getting in a rut with other rigid transits operating at the same time. Jupiter seeks opportunity while Uranus seeks freedom …finding a practical way to work things out differently. Find an outlet to bring more energy to those mundane tasks , could be worth your while. Becoming more conscious of these energies can help navigate these restless urges.


Dec. 13/14 Friday/Saturday A compassionate grand water trine forms. Use this harmonious day to slow down and connect with those closest to us. A healing balm for the past week, we can feel more supportive, accessible and considerate of others. Tap into the focus of Mars in Scorpio paired with the higher expression of love through Neptune in Pisces and the concern of the Moon in Cancer.


The Capricorn influence during December and January is strong so here are some keywords to contemplate…Responsibility, reliability, caution, boundaries, destiny, duty, reasonable, witty, dry humor, frankness, maturity, practicality, determination and reserve. Capricorn archetype is the Father, ruled by Saturn the planet of time. We can use this energy to move forward with discipline, if we decide to listen to our inner task master. This is a time to do the things we really don’t want to do , but need to do. Be patient and take one step at a time and gradually you will get things done in Capricorn style.
