Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus, 19 November 2021

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

Lunar eclipses are powerful full moons, where the light of the moon is temporarily blocked or obscured by the shadow of the earth. Eclipses are like wild cards disrupting normal patterns; where the veils between dimensions are thinner; potentially allowing upgrades and leaps in consciousness to occur. This eclipse is on the Scorpio Taurus axis, bringing to light issues around safety and security especially of the earth and climate, food and agriculture and finances and the economy. The moon is conjunct the fixed star Algol, said to be one of the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous stars in the heavens, … Continue reading →

New Moon in Aquarius

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

The Sun and the Moon are two great archetypes in astrology. The Sun symbolises our urge to shine in the world, to explore and express our unique essence; while the moon has a more instinctive and unconscious quality linked to our emotional and habitual reactions, our intuition and what we need to feel safe and secure.  The moon is reflective and regressive and is constantly changing (waxing & waning) like the tides. In astrology a new moon happens each month when the moon and the sun join together in the sky, at which time the moon is invisible to us … Continue reading →

The Great Mutation

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

Every 20 years the two social planets, Jupiter and Saturn, which symbolise the structures of our society, come together in the sky in what is known as a conjunction.  This “Great Conjunction” has recently coincided with the transition between decades i.e. coming together in 2000, opposing in 2010, coming together in 2020 and so on.  This cycle represents endings and beginnings as old structures disintegrate and new forms begin to take shape in society.

Once in a Blue Moon

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

The two most fundamental energies in our birth chart are the Sun and the Moon. The Sun is the light and life of our solar system and astrologically symbolises our sense of individual self and purpose.  As the closest heavenly body to earth, the Moon affects the rhythm of the oceans and is associated with yin, receptive energy influencing the flow of our emotions.  Each night, as the Moon distributes the light of the Sun, we experience the interchange of these energies as the “phases” of the Moon. A full moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon oppose each … Continue reading →

Embracing Retrograde

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

The concept of retrograde in astrology refers to an optical illusion from the perspective of the Earth. Retrograde motion is an apparent change in the movement of a planet through the sky because of its position and speed of movement around the Sun relative to the Earth.  Planets do not physically start moving backwards in their orbit but just appear to do so from our point of view on Earth.   Imagine two trains are leaving a station at the same time. If you are on the faster one, the one beside you appears to be going backwards; even though they … Continue reading →
