The Full Moon is radiant in her reflected wisdom, sitting opposite the sun so that from our vantage point between them we can see her, whole and out of the shadows. The Sun is entering Leo so the Moon will be opposite in the 1st degree of Aquarius. It is the first of two Aquarian Full Moons this year, there are thirteen Moon cycles in a year and 12 zodiac signs so each year one sign will have two Full Moons and one will have two New Moons.
This New Moon is in Cancer, our cardinal, water sign. She is the mother of the zodiac, bringing in the summer solstice. She marks a point in the year when everything is blooming, the sweet fragrance of summer. She brings warmth and beauty; she longs to nurture and protect those close to her and as a cardinal water sign, she is the beginning of water. Like a freshwater spring that people build a town around or a safe shallow harbour keeping her fishing boats safe. She gathers a small group and spends her time nourishing them. We are approaching the time of year when we will be turning our attention to our family, spending school holidays with our children, quietening our work schedule to take holidays with those we love. Cancer reminds us to focus on the people we value, our inner circle. We may think of a crab with a hard shell and a soft interior, Cancer is very much like this, highly sensitive and empathic she needs to protect herself, so she is only open with those she really trusts. Wherever Cancer falls in your chart is where you need to be nurtured and with this New Moon nurturing ourselves is the theme.

Gemini rules the lungs, take this opportunity to spend some time focusing on your breath. Think about the things that you are calling into your body and into your life as you breathe in. Release the things that you no longer need into the universe as you breathe out. Try not to hold onto your plans too tightly but allow your thoughts to turn inwards, seeing yourself and your plans from all angles and allowing deep truths to be revealed.
This Moon is known as the Flower Moon, and it’s also a Super Moon, AND a lunar eclipse. This means that the moon will appear reddish in colour as the only light that reaches it will come via the Earth’s atmosphere and that filters it so only red wavelengths get through. It is also known as a Blood Moon- the reason why it turns red is shown in this diagram. The only light that reaches the moon is coming via the earth’s atmosphere because it is a lunar eclipse.
The Taurus New Moon is especially focused on doing things that are real. It’s about making something happen that has substance to it
Taurus has a very earthy energy to it. It is about grounding ourselves fully. This is not about the bigger picture dreams and long-term goals but about thinking about the here and now:
The energy of Scorpio is:
The moon represents your emotional body and subconscious.
The part of yourself that you typically keep hidden or buried under your social personality. During the time of a full moon, all of that comes to the surface, asking to be seen. This is why many of you feel extra emotional, or as some say, the crazy comes out. It’s not that you are crazy, but it can be uncomfortable to feel all the feels.
The full Moon in Libra is the first full Moon of the Astrological year which starts with Aries in late March after the Spring Equinox. This Moon is shining a light on our closest relationships, our teamwork and communication with important matters.
The New Moon in Pisces is a beautifully watery, flowing Moon. For me, I feel it’s about reconnecting to your creative side, or finding things you can do that bring you joy just for the sake of doing them. I am a Pisces Sun sign, Pisces Moon sign and Scorpio rising, so I’m very in tune with this Moon myself.
Pisces is the zodiac’s mutable water sign, and in case you missed it, Pisces season 2021 dominates the first three weeks of March. Pisces season is a time for getting in touch with our feelings, connecting with our spiritual sides, and allowing our imaginations to run wild, so embrace the strengths of being soft.
