‘Don’t feel like too much talking’ Full Moon, except for what we think is of value to us. Peace of mind can provide inspiration, creativity and new ideas. We need peace, harmony and balance. It may be hard to find, but there seems to be some inspiration coming from somewhere…
A full moon that is about radical change, change of attitude towards relationship patterns, or how we personally or professionally relate to the world. Relationships can either become agents of profound change or crisis at this time, the relationhsip to ourselves may undergo tremendous change and gain great consciousess, through either crisis, conflict, a meeting with another, or a field of interest. Everything seems to require effort, and any change requires some distancing.
Continue readingDo you feel empowered or disempowered by love? How can we empower or disempower others and ourselves through our actions. An opportunity to explore our boundaries, limitations, endurance and the ways we claim love (Capricorn is the sign of exaltation of Mars). Feelings and desires get intensified so that we go deeper, below the surface and face our shadows, but also examine our commitments and the true essense of what we desire and gives us pleasure.. Issues with trust and sharing of power in relationships will come to the surface. The need to overthrow existing patterns and structures, so that we liberate ourselves is emphasised. Relationships may struggle between commitment and freedom, and also values and rigid attitudes to do with expectations. Everything will be under close scrutiny, but this is an oportunity to do things differently and experience a surprising sense of deeper connection with our soul. What really gives us pleasure, how does love and how we are being appreciated affect our self worth, and how it can trigger our deepest yearnings. It is time for deep trasnformation and cleansing in relationships with significant others and ourselves. Creativity and indulgence in subjects that interests us can be healing and empowering.
A new cycle begins and this is the first round as this conjunction will happen three times: December 11, December 25, March 3, @ 25-28 degrees Capricorn. The ruler of Capricorn, Saturn is making a square with Uranus on December 24th, so the second conjunction will most likely be the most powerful of the three.
If you have planets or points at these degrees this conjunction will have a more personal feel for you. Besides our perosnal relationships, love matters and self worth, these energies will also affect and generate unions, alliances and finances on a personal and collective level and also bring serious hidden matters to light. that will alter the existing course or plan of action.

Mars in dignity in Scorpio, Saturn in dignity in Aquarius: who is defending who and what, and how does that look in the eyes of the collective. Every position will be scrutinised from the perspective of one’s position within a specific group, may ignite crusades about justice or just causes (mars will square jupiter soon). Let us not lose perspective of what we are fighting for, and forget we are human and also depend on each other, while being anxious to stand our own ground, and fight for our personal cause. Positive energy for defending betterment for all, and for the greater good. The recent lunar eclipse at 28 Taurus, on Novemeber 19th, pointed at our values and how those are communcated. It is the ending of a cycle. There is something of value in terms of accumulated experience that needs to be communicated (North Node in Gemini). There is a need to protect and respond through our values and connect with others. Also let things rise, insted of blocking or being fixated on them. A need to communicate an extensive accumulated body of creative work or creative experience, and spread the message. Watch our mind and body connection, treat ourselves better and refrain from obsessive rigid thoughts and projection of anger about right and wrong in every direction. We are getting ready for a new emotional chapter that quite discreetly and through all the ‘noise’ opens up new territories for personal exploration, and is seeding new ideas and connections.

After sunset looking southwest we see venus and moon (occidental accidentally dignified), saturn and jupiter (occidental – accidentally debilitated)- our work is mostly spiritual at this time. our capacity to form relationships, value and receive on a sensual or material level becomes exclusive and noteworthy, and depends on our spiritual growth, inner faith, and resilience, and the acceptance and familiarisation of limitations, on a day to day level context. Problems and limitations may force us to consciouly cultivate more exclusivity in unions or in unconventional ways (Venus Out of Bounds – Moon in Capricorn).

If you get up early in the morning before sunrise looking south east you may just catch a glimpse of spica, mercury and mars – important announcements may be coming up. Mental sharpness and virility, but also impatience may cause disputes. Need to solve problems, heal body and mind and overcome. Skills and dexterity. Alchemical process at work. Speaking about our passions and new initiatives. How do we connect with ‘a’ world?

July 2021
The nature of any challenge or goal, inevitably changes, thus rules and structures should change accordingly, to accommodate the change, with ways that allow innovation, invention, creativity. When we become complacent or arrogant with having found a one and only solution, a recipe that works, that is the blind spot that leads to lack of foresight and eventual downfall. What was successful in the past, may not work the same way anymore, thus “nothing fails like success” – This is the reason many marriages fall apart, companies fall apart, collaborations fall apart, governments fall apart, whole nations or collective endeavours fall apart. We will see a lot of this in the next 6 months and couple of years, as manifest evidence that the stubborn adherence to old ways and rules is not relevant anymore. There is another option though, as the planetary symbols indicate: It is time to acknowledge the need for release of the old ways, changing rituals and patterns of thinking, and become more creative in facing challenges, developing ways to evolve and built creative connections with the world and others.

Μια στροφή προσανατολισμού
Σύντομο μήνυμα της Ηλιακής Έκλειψης στους Διδύμους:
Συντονίσου με τον εσώτερο εαυτό σου όπου μπορείς να σκεφτείς με διαύγεια, αναζήτησε την εσωτερική σου γνώση, διαισθητικά, σε επαφή με τα όνειρα και τα ιδανικά σου, χωρίς καμία εξωγενή εισροή πληροφορίας ή επιρροή. Εκεί όπου μπορείς να είσαι πραγματικά παρών (νούς και ψυχή). Στοχάσου πάνω σε αυτό και πόσο εύκολο ή δύσκολο είναι να δημιουργήσεις χώρο για να συμβεί αυτό, με όλο τον ‘θόρυβο’ της πληροφορίας που σε περιβάλλει; Τι έχει αλλάξει σε σχέση με αυτό το κομμάτι, πόσο συνδεδεμένος ή αποστασιοποιημένος είσαι από αυτό; Πόσο σε επηρεάζει η εισροή πληροφορίας απ’ έξω και σε καθημερινή βάση στον τρόπο που εξάγεις συμπεράσματα; Πόσο πιστεύεις αυτά τα οποία σκέπτεσαι; Πως διαμορφώνεις τον τρόπο που σκέφτεσαι και συνδέεσαι με τον κόσμο; Πως με τον εαυτό σου; Μια στροφή προσανατολισμού διενεργείται πιο απελευθερωμένα στον τρόπο που επικοινωνείς και που σκέφτεσαι, που κυοφορεί σημαντικές ιδέες και ερεθίσματα για μελλοντική εξέλιξη, ενώ ένα κεφάλαιο ζωής έχει εκπληρώσει τον σκοπό του, η γή εξακολουθεί να περιστρέφεται, και η τάξη των πραγμάτων ανατρέπεται. Είναι η στιγμή να ξαναφηγηθούμε ή να τροποποιήσουμε το σενάριο του παρελθόντος μας, και να πραγματοποιήσουμε μια αλλαγή πορείας προς το μέλλον. Το κλειδί βρίσκεται στην επικοινωνία. Ενώ νέες πληροφορίες αποκαλύπτονται και κυριαρχεί μεταβλητότητα, έχουμε την ευκαιρία να ανταποκριθούμε με ευρηματικούς ή αντισυμβατικούς τρόπους, και μέσα από τις ευαισθησίες μας και τα ιδανικά μας, ίσως και κάτω από πίεση ώστε να ανατρέψουμε περιορισμούς και εμπόδια. Ακολούθα την διαίσθησή σου και τήρησε στάση ευελιξίας.
Θεματικές απο τις χρονιές 1967, 1985, 2003 για να ξεκλειδώσεις περισσότερα μηνύματα σε σχέση με την παρούσα φάση στην ζωή σου. (Πρόσφατες εκλείψεις του κύκλου Saros 147)
Brief Solar Eclipse message:
Find that inner space where you can think and be truly present, without any external input or influence. Τry to access your inner knowledge, intuit and stay in touch with your dreams and ideals. Be aware of mind traps or situations that drain your energy and distance you from truly connecting through who you are. How much faith do you have on your way of thinking? A shift in your thinking and the way you communicate may unfold that carries new ideas as seeds for further growth, while a chapter is ending and the world is spinning, and what was up may come down. Time to re-tell and re-adapt our story of the past, and unfold a new direction for the future. The Key is communication! While new information may come to the fore, things are being revealed, changes in our environment prevail, we have the opportunity to respond in unconventional, innovative or liberating ways, and through our sensibilities to overthrow and overcome restrictions and obstacles. Follow your intuition and remain flexible.
Themes from the years of 1967, 1985, 2003 will come up for review and can unlock further collective or personal messages (recent eclipses of Saros cycle 147)

The chaos and sensibility in our li(v)es… The truths we think we possess should not become limiting in seeking more answers.
The general picture: Seeking answers may be more confusing than we think, our beliefs and trust are tested at this time, patience maybe lacking, we may feel mentally exhausted, confusing information may disorient, we may make small things seem more important than they are, while everything may reach a pressing urgency to reach some kind of conclusion. The energy is shifting…
During a Total Solar Eclipse the Solar light is blocked by the Moon. During a New Moon, the Moon is invisible while on a Solar Eclipse we see the Moon’s shadow (invisible side) on the Sun’s disc. The normal flow of light and life is interrupted, and new information is revealed. This is energy which is pushing us into a new direction rapidly, and in the sign of Sagittarius it points to a shift in our perspective, we may find ourselves in need for guidance and direction, that pertains to truths, vision, trust, sense of optimism and our beliefs of the past. Something will change, affecting all the above and we are called to turn to our inner vision, our ethics and moral codes too, as we gradually shift direction. How much we trust ourselves, and our own judgement, and how these are affected from external influences is something we should be mindful of.
