The Moon takes about 29 days to travel through the zodiac. The New Moon occurs when the Moon is conjoined with the Sun and indistinguishable to the eye. It takes 14 days to reach its apogee, in opposition to the Sun, then it is the Full Moon. Then it shrinks for the next 14 days to return to the New Moon position. During the Full Moon, the star of the night is at its maximum distance from the Sun, thus forming an opposition in the opposite sign to its position. The Moon then reflects the sunlight in a luminous disc. A Full Moon symbolizes clear consciousness, everything that was sensed is now seen with clarity. This clear consciousness of situations helps us achieve our fulfilment. Our relationships become more important than our personal aspirations. The Full Moon connects us to others and sometimes induces a state of tension (nervousness, insomnia). People born at the time of the Full Moon are more objective and more nuanced in their approach to relationship problems. The Full Moon encourages discussion, negotiation, and compromise, but not always in serenity...

On December 4th, it's the full moon in Gemini.
Full moon ritual : During the full moon and to start again on good bases, it is very useful to set up rituals. There are several that can help to attract what we want. Here is an article to discover on these Full Moon Rituals.
The atmosphere is light and enterprising, somewhat casual and very mobile. This full moon gives us ants in our pants and we have 10 ideas per second. It's a sociable and lively moon that urges us to leave home, meet diverse people, and engage in varied, sometimes superficial, but always interesting exchanges.
Since the last full moon, many things have happened: Uranus retrograde has temporarily returned to Taurus, as has Jupiter, which has reinvested in Cancer. Mercury has also retrograded in Sagittarius and returned to Scorpio before resuming direct motion on November 30th.
Saturn resumed its direct movement on November 28th. Sorrows are consoled, doubts turn into certainties, illusions are a thing of the past, and outlines are clearer.
Let's return to today's full moon, conjunct Uranus, opposed to Venus, and trine to Pluto. The opposition to Venus can induce capricious reactions and laziness. With the conjunction to Uranus, we need to release our tensions in intense physical activities, but avoiding taking reckless risks. As the imagination is also overflowing, let's use our ideas to advance in our projects. Diplomatic efforts will be needed for collaborations to go well, but we can receive support from our surroundings, from our friends. Under the beneficial influence of Pluto, we are able to analyze our behavior with great accuracy and make necessary modifications in our social relationships.
Mercury back in Scorpio benefits from excellent influences from Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. Despite opposition to Uranus which makes thoughts and speech a bit feverish, these three favorable planets largely compensate for this nervousness by bringing great open-mindedness and intellectual availability (Jupiter), common sense and good concentration (Saturn), and finally, exalted creativity that allows artists to express themselves with talent (Neptune).
Venus is now in Sagittarius and also enjoys the support of Saturn and Neptune. Mastered romanticism helps us infuse poetry into our romantic relationships while keeping us cautious in our impulses and infatuations.
Now, Mars remains, somewhat constrained by Saturn which restricts energies and consequently activities. Hierarchy can make the work environment gloomy, elders may become more rigid, and physical fatigue could demoralize us for a little while...
On November 5th, it's the full moon in Taurus
This full moon triggers an explosion of sensual passions, as well as subtle yet powerful power plays. It's a good time to make excellent investments, but also to squander resources, as passions are heightened.
The full moon occurs in Taurus, the domicile of Venus where the moon is exalted. With Venus precisely finishing its journey in Libra, emotions and sensuality are intertwined, and love stories take on a very interesting dimension. However, Venus is also in square with Jupiter, which could turn desire into bingeing; indulgence and emotional expectations can become overwhelming and lead to both sensual and alimentary excesses and frustrations.
Mars and Mercury entered Sagittarius in recent days. Still united, but this time in an enterprising sign, eager to learn and take on challenges, it's a particularly beneficial period for anything related to competition and challenge, and this full moon further accentuates this drive to win.
However, this dynamic duo is opposed to Uranus and also generates opposition to any form of authority. Sports, particularly competition, remain the best way to relieve stress due to an excess of physical and mental energy. It's difficult to make oneself understood, statements can offend interlocutors, and one doesn't question their behavior. During this full moon, it's really important to avoid engaging in controversies and to focus on engaging activities.
Fortunately, amidst all this agitation and frenzy, Neptune and Pluto intervene to calm minds and give more depth to impulsive urges. Ultimately, only Venus receives challenging aspects, and not much slows down its enormous appetites. It's not the best time to solidify a recent encounter or to try to reconcile with one's partner. Only established and well-bonded couples can benefit from this configuration without causing harmful ruptures in their relationship.
The motto of this explosive full moon is therefore to enjoy the good things in life in moderation and to channel overly powerful energies into intense activities that don't jeopardize your various relationships, whether romantic or social.
On October 7th, there's a full moon in Pisces
This full moon indicates a confrontation between oneself and others, between personal interests and the common good. The atmosphere favors collaboration but also rebellion and egocentrism...This October full moon squares Jupiter, which is in Cancer. This "square" between the sun, the moon, and Jupiter encourages excess and exaggeration. Optimism and enthusiasm become detrimental as we become impatient, neglect details, and take disproportionate risks. Our ambitions become unreasonable, and we feel dissatisfied with what we have. Also, beware of overeating and unnecessary spending.
However, Mercury has joined Mars, bringing a lot of precision and "common sense" to our activities. We are able to find all the support we need to achieve our goals. Furthermore, this dynamic duo is in Scorpio, which brings a lot, sometimes too much, passion to our initiatives. Beware of this fervor that tends to sweep away any contradiction; this mental energy does not exempt us from listening to the opinions and advice of others.
Venus, on the other hand, caught between the negative influences of the Saturn-Neptune tandem and the sentimental fulfillment of Jupiter, struggles a bit to find its footing. It's possible to get stuck on details that take on disproportionate significance, to restrict oneself out of fear of making mistakes, or to feel isolated without fully understanding why. However, the support offered by Jupiter should help us put any potential difficulties into perspective, trust our partner, and most importantly, communicate to dispel any doubts, probably irrelevant.
On the front of the slow-moving planets, Jupiter, which brings enthusiasm, ideals, and optimism, marries well with Saturn, which brings out ambitions with a particularly useful rigorous and determined side for keeping goals in sight. Some improvements could be made within the administration.With the trine between Jupiter and Neptune, mutual assistance is in vogue. We manage to put ourselves in others' shoes and consider how to fulfill everyone's needs. A wave of spirituality overwhelms fixed ideas, and we turn to creativity to make the world a better place.
On September 7th, there's a full moon in Pisces
During this full moon, there may be confusion, disorder, one must let go between reasoning and intuition. At times, we risk finding ourselves completely lost in strange atmospheres...
With the Sun conjunct Mercury in Virgo, the full moon opposes these two planets. Emotions and intellect vie for our attention, and we must ensure that our moods don't prompt inappropriate reactions.
Meanwhile, the Sun also forms a sextile with Jupiter, opening the doors of success to those who maintain optimism and open-mindedness: circumstances are very favorable, so one must remain vigilant and available to seize opportunities as they arise.
Mars squares Jupiter, and actions can become excessive. It's a charged atmosphere of conflicts, legal issues, and wasted energies. It's particularly important to ensure that our ambitions are not beyond our means.
Saturn retrograde temporarily returns to Pisces, as if to "finish the job." This retrograde often causes delays and obstacles; ambitions cannot be expressed as desired because commitments or responsibilities restrict progress. This often stems from matters previously neglected and now requiring completion. Thus, perseverance is necessary, even if immediate results are lacking, even if everything seems to be moving slowly.
Uranus begins a retrograde in Gemini and will quickly regress back into Taurus until 2026. This retrograde can induce sudden changes in personal plans due to unpredictable causes, strange or inexplicable incidents. Stability is disrupted, and we become more aware of our needs for freedom of expression, potentially leading to changes in attitudes or habits. During this retrograde, maturation occurs, and we may begin to implement new ideas in the concrete reality of our existence.
Despite the retrogrades and an overexcited Mars, the sky of this full moon is overall very positive, with many aspects of peace, progress, and interest in collective causes. Gradually, it seems that the world is becoming better, more livable, more humanistic...
